To save the music festival, winning the championship is not too much.

The last Palme d'Or winner was a South Korean director, but he passed away.

Therefore, the award winner this time is the Palme d'Or winner the year before, the famous director of Eagle Country, Lance Faulkner.

This is a white-skinned middle-aged man in his 50s, with a beard, short white hair, and about 1.8 meters tall.

He stood on the podium with a serious expression on his face. When he opened the envelope, everyone in the audience could see that his pupils shrank slightly and his facial expression changed obviously.

In the film industry, Lance Faulkner has a very high status and is also a world-renowned director.

He has won the Oscar for Best Director and was the winner of the Palme d'Or at Cannes last year.

So there is a lot of news about Lance. The world's film circles have a perception of this director as being unsmiling and harsh on the set.

When they saw the slight change in Lance Faulkner's expression, everyone could imagine that this year's biggest award at Cannes might be an upset!

In fact, every year there are blockbuster films at the film festival, but this year the blockbusters are Chinese-language films.

"The Shawshank Redemption" has already won Best Supporting Actor, Best Actress, and Best Director, making it one of the biggest winners this year.

Therefore, if the final Palme d'Or is another upset, everyone seems to be able to accept it.

Lance Faulkner raised his head and glanced at everyone at the venue, and took a deep breath: "The winner of this year's Palme d'Or is——"

This time the whole audience held their breath.

Because no matter which country's film wins the Palme d'Or, it will become the focus of the film industry this year.

Didn't you see that in the original time and space, when "Farewell My Concubine" won the Palme d'Or, the entire country of China celebrated, just like applying for the Olympics in 08, and the whole country was excited.

Whether it is the original time and space or this time and space, many people in China are in urgent need of foreign artistic recognition!

So both Xu Xuan and Li Jingtian were nervous at this time.

Although Xu Xuan and Li Jingtian both knew that their chances were almost zero, they could not resist the human instinct to take chances.

Lance Faulkner looked down the stage again, took a deep breath, and then announced the winners.

""The Shawshank Redemption" Bruce Xu!!"

Suddenly, everyone's breath froze.

Everyone is waiting to applaud.

However, when the list of winners was announced, everyone was subconsciously stunned for a moment.

No one thought the Palme d'Or would give Shawshank.

Regardless of whether it is in the original time and space or this time and space, under normal circumstances, it is difficult to win the best picture after winning the best director.

But this year's Cannes seems to be about being willful.

Not only did they give the best director to 23-year-old Xu Xuan, they also gave the best film to Xu Xuan.

What is this for?

At a certain moment, directors around the world even thought that Xu Xuan was Cannes' biological son.

However, everyone knows that Cannes, the most authoritative in the world, has more convincing credibility than the Oscars.

Therefore, all previous Cannes awards will be recognized by the audience and people in the industry.

It's the same this time.

Although Cannes continues to suffer upsets, few people doubt Cannes' artistic appreciation.

So the only thing people at the scene were curious about was, what kind of movie did this 23-year-old director from China make that actually made the Cannes judges give him the grand prize?

This is the thought of more than [-]% of foreign directors and actors at the venue.

However, the people in the venue who could not believe it the most and were least willing to believe it were Li Jingtian and Zhou Xiangqun of China.

At this time, the two of them were dumbfounded, and they didn't expect the result to be like this.

We are all from China, and we know what the Palme d'Or in Cannes represents and how difficult it is to obtain it.

If not for this, why are everyone so keen on attending the Cannes Film Festival?

And from beginning to end, no Chinese film has won the Palme d'Or!

In addition, Li Jingtian is hostile to Zhou Xiangqun and Xu Xuan.

Then it is not difficult to imagine how the two of them felt at this time.

Everyone, including Lu Hongni, was dumbfounded as the Shawshank poster appeared on the big screen.

At this moment, Lu Hongni felt that he was more than wrong?

It's like missing out on tens of billions.

If this drama is my second female lead.

Then Chu Qing's best supporting role is hers.

If she is the second female lead in this drama.

Then now you can stand on the stage and receive the award!

The suppressed resentment and unwillingness in his heart swelled again.

At this time, the venue had already begun to applaud. Lu Hongni was reminded by the crew members around him and he also stood up and applauded, but his eyes were always fixed on Chu Qing.

The best film belongs to the entire crew, so when Xu Xuan stood up, he took the assistant director, photographer, heroine, supporting actress and others to the stage to receive the award.

Lance Faulkner glanced at Xu Xuan with complicated eyes, but still handed over the trophy in congratulations.

After receiving the trophy, Xu Xuan bowed slightly to thank him, watched Lance come off the stage, and then looked down the stage.

Everyone in the venue has been applauding. This is the biggest award in previous film festivals, and everyone will give it due respect.

The non-stop applause lasted for almost 5 minutes, or even longer.

After waiting for the applause to subside, Xu Xuan waved the trophy, smiled and said in Chinese: "Very unexpected, very, very unexpected..."

Before Xu Xuan could continue to speak, the sound of a translator appeared directly on the stage speakers.

Xu Xuan and other crew members couldn't help but be startled, and everyone was a little surprised.

This should have been arranged by the chief director of the awards show. He seemed to know that Xu Xuan still wanted to express his love for the motherland in Chinese. Everyone can understand this kind of thing, so he directly found an interpreter backstage to translate what Xu Xuan said to the audience.

This phenomenon not only surprised people at the venue.

Chu Qing, Hao Fei and others were even more incredible.

This is Cannes, how can we be so tolerant?

Especially Chu Qing.

At this moment, she was filled with emotion.

Looking at the figure standing in front of the microphone, Chu Qing didn't know how to express her feelings for a moment.

That was a man seven or eight years younger than himself.

But he stands in a position that no director in China has.

Especially in this situation.

In order to cooperate with myself, in order to prevent domestic audiences from criticizing me.

He asked Hao Fei to speak Chinese on the spot, and now that he has won the biggest award, he still speaks Chinese.

In this way, no one will mention Chu Qing's lack of English anymore.

At this moment, Chu Qing really felt that those words were a bit heartbreaking; I was not born before you were born, but I am already old after you were born...

Xu Xuan also paused very cooperatively and slowed down his speech.

"I just said that if Cannes gave me the Palme d'Or, it might be an inside story. Can I retract this sentence?"

Everyone in the venue burst into laughter.

Of course some people are not convinced, and some people are jealous.

But there are no directors or actors who can come to Cannes who have low emotional intelligence.

At this time, Xu Xuan obviously wants to have a place in the world of film circles. Applauding and cooperating is tantamount to forming a bond.

Who knows if he will win an award next year?

Then the people carrying the sedan chair are very suitable for this scene.

But Xu Xuan knows that things are not that simple.

Sure enough, what Xu Xuan was worried about happened that night.
