In the fifth year after Su Yun was discharged from the hospital, he adapted the drama "Mengsheng" into a movie and directed his first debut work.

The film version of "Mengsheng" was written and directed by him, and his friend Du Zixiao, an actor who had no films to make because of the coming out incident, was cast as the starring role.The movie was filmed in five countries, and the filming took half a year. Su Yun used his personal connections to invite many leading figures and popular stars to participate or guest appearances.One week after the film was released, it easily won the box office champion of domestic literary films within ten years, and became the top Chinese film box office champion of the year one month after its release. As a representative film, it was selected as the main competition unit of the Cannes Film Festival and competed for the Palme d'Or.

After 15 years, Su Yun came to the beautiful seaside town of Cannes again. Su Yun had a completely different state of mind from her 20-year-old self.Back then, he was a cat teased in the arms of a Chinese film boss. Even though Lu Qin held him like a baby, everyone around him looked at him with ambiguity.Even though he had just won the best movie star in China, no one really recognized his ability. No matter where he followed Lu Qin, people would always see Lu Qin first, and then glance at him briefly. Fifteen years later, he brought the main creator of the film to the red carpet in Cannes, handsome men and beautiful women lined up, and in an instant, the flash and the shutter sounded together.

The photo was sent back to China, and instantly occupied the headlines of the entertainment sections of major websites. The film critics were full of energy, and there were endless discussions about whether he could finally win the Palme d'Or. If Su Yun wins the Palme d'Or, everyone who reposts will get 100 yuan each, and Alipay transfers.

This kind of forwarding is probably nonsense, but Du Zixiao, a serious Weibo control student, still asked his assistant to register more than 20 trumpets for him, and forwarded them one by one.

"What if it is fulfilled?" He said to Su Yun like this, never thinking that he was already the [-] retweeter.

In Cannes, what people talk about the most is movies besides movies.Su Yun came this time not only to compete for the grand prize, but also to promote and distribute the overseas copyright of "Mengsheng".In addition to the red carpet on the first day of the opening ceremony, in the next few days, he shuttled between various receptions and private parties.

Six out of ten French movie bosses call Lu Qin brothers and sisters. After all, they drank big wine and chased big girls together back then, and the relationship they established was the deepest when they were young and ignorant.This time Lu Qin didn't come, but before Su Yun left, he called his classmates one by one, solemnly, and repeatedly emphasized that this is my wife, you are not allowed to bully her.

Thinking about it, if he knew the chairman of the judging committee, he might be able to give Su Yun a Palme d'Or directly by operating in secret.

It's okay, he doesn't know him, but Su Yun does.The chairman of the judging committee this time is a Chinese, Su Yun's senior.

With the escort of Lu Qin's relationship, Su Yun can handle all the receptions and gatherings with ease.He was originally tall and straight, with good looks. He held the red wine glass with three fingers and stood in the middle of the field. Even if he didn't take the initiative, someone would strike up a conversation with him.Within a few days, he talked about overseas distribution in several major European countries, took time out to shoot a few blockbusters for fashion magazines, and did a live televised interview in Cannes.

On the day of negotiating with the American publishing company, Lu Qin finally arrived after finishing his domestic affairs. He got off the plane, changed his clothes briefly, and proposed to go with Su Yun.Lu's Entertainment is the largest investor and domestic distributor of the movie "Mengsheng". With the help of the boss of Lu's Entertainment, the film's distribution in the United States is naturally within reach.

On the way back, Lu Qin was so tired that he fell asleep, he opened his eyes in a daze, and found that Su Yun was taking medicine.Now Su Yun's physical condition is the same as that of ordinary people, but he still needs to take medicine for a long time and have regular checkups.In the six months since Su Yun was discharged from the hospital, Lu Qin was always uneasy. He was sleeping next to him, but he always dreamed that Su Yun was gone.At that time, Su Yun checked once a month and took back different medicines. He took a lot of them and had to swallow them to score several times.Lu Qin felt sorry for him, and every time he frowned, Su Yun laughed at him for fussing, how could he not take medicine when he was sick?How can one take only one medicine?Later, Su Yun's condition gradually stabilized, his physical strength recovered, his thin body gradually gained weight, and he took less medicine. Seeing this, Lu Qin finally breathed a sigh of relief and stopped worrying.

About a year after being discharged from the hospital, Su Yun started acting.He can't do anything else in his life, only filming. If he wants to come back, he must start with filming.Most of the scripts at the beginning had no connotation, but they were commercially produced, with slogans such as "Asia's first 5D movie" and "the largest investment in 3D magic production in history" flying all over the sky.Su Yun was dazzled by picking and choosing, so he had to ask the seniors who had successfully come back back then for advice.The senior chatted with him all afternoon, and finally gave him six words——

"Calm down and grind slowly."

In the end, Su Yun chose a film that was neither a big production nor a catchphrase, but purely emotional. The director was an acquaintance many times before, and they worked together for half a year to produce a film with a good reputation at the box office.

This movie won Su Yun the fourth best actor trophy in his life.

It was at that time that Su Yun came up with the idea of ​​making a movie.

He decided to put "Mengsheng" on the big screen.

After recovering from illness, his workload has been reduced a lot, which has given him a lot of time to prepare for his Virgo.Don't worry about investment, Lu Qin will take care of it naturally; you don't need to worry about the team, most of the teams he has worked with in the past are first-line teams in the circle; the only thing that needs to be carefully considered is the actors.

Su Yun decided to retreat behind the scenes and become a director completely. For the male lead, he first thought of Du Zixiao.

After coming out to the public, Du Zixiao's film contracts dropped sharply. In the past, there were constant invitations for movies and TV series, but now he can only produce one film a year.Su Yun called and Du Zixiao was in the United States. The surrogate child he and Bai Zhe were pregnant with was about to be born. Su Yun asked him if he would like to be the leading actor in his own movie. Du Zixiao agreed without even thinking about it. Du Zixiao asked in turn. He asked Su Yun a question, but Su Yun hesitated for 5 minutes without giving an answer.

Du Zixiao asked: "Brother, are you willing to be my child's godfather?"

Except for the replacement of the male lead, the other characters in the movie basically continue the original cast of the drama.Jian Xiaoning, who has been active on the drama stage these years, had this opportunity to appear on the big screen after five years, and was so happy that she didn't fall asleep all night.Su Yun quickly assembled the film team, started filming vigorously, traveled across the five countries, took eight months to complete the filming, and another five months to edit.It has been another three months since the movie was released. No one would have thought that such a movie with no special effects, no superheroes, and no big investment would become the box office champion in the Mainland that year, and even come to Cannes.

Lu Qin rubbed his face. In the afternoon sun, Su Yun, who was sitting by the window, turned his head and smiled slightly at him.He moved his body and sat next to Lu Qin, leaned his neck up and smiled obsequiously.

"Brother," he said, "will you walk the red carpet with me at the closing ceremony tomorrow?"

As soon as these words came out, Lu Qin's full of charm and tenderness disappeared instantly, and all the blood faded from his entire face in a second.

Lu Qin fainted on the red carpet.

This flaw was discovered on the Cannes red carpet 15 years ago.

The specific symptom is that when the flashing light flashes, Lu Qin feels sleepy.

Fifteen years ago, the first thing Lu Qin did after walking the red carpet was to find a small room with no one to sleep before the ceremony started.

Lu Qin wanted to refuse, but looking at Su Yun's expectant eyes, he felt that the big deal was to find another small room with no one to sleep.

He should!

Su Yun had already prepared a full set of high-end suits for Lu Qin, which were produced by Yanli, and the taste was guaranteed. Fifteen years ago, it was Lu Qin who put on the suit for him. Fifteen years later, in the hotel room, it was Su Yun who shook off the suit and put it on for Lu Qin one sleeve at a time.Their suits are for couples, and the buttons are exquisitely designed, making them a pair.Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror, he took out a velvet box from his pocket, opened it, and inside was a pair of exquisite platinum and diamond rings.

He took Lu Qin's hand, helped Lu Qin put his ring finger in, then stretched out his fingers, and raised an eyebrow at Lu Qin.

Lu Qin smiled and put the ring on Su Yun's finger.

The red carpet is star-studded, and the Cannes Film Festival, which has a history of nearly a hundred years, has almost attracted global superstars. The crew of "Mengsheng" appeared in the middle of the red carpet ceremony. As soon as their figures appeared on the red carpet, the flash and shutter sounded together.Su Yun and Lu Qin walked in the center of the crew. Lu Qin stepped onto the red carpet, facing the flashing lights, and unconsciously swayed.Su Yun supported him calmly from behind, and the two turned around in a circle, waving to the fans opposite.

"Are you sleepy?" Su Yun asked in a low voice, trying not to move his mouth.

Lu Qin resisted the urge to yawn, waved to the fans with a smile, and replied without moving his mouth, "A little bit, I can bear it. By the way... why do you want me to walk the red carpet with you?"

"Because I want to appear in the same frame as you." Su Yun turned around and smiled at Lu Qin in front of countless cameras.

After all, Lu Qin made it through the entire red carpet. After entering the ceremony hall, he found a sofa to sit down and take a nap. He didn't wake up until the closing ceremony began when the hostesses in long skirts led everyone in.Su Yun's seat was on Lu Qin's right. After Lu Qin took his seat, he gently took Su Yun's hand and asked, "Are you nervous?"

"What are you nervous about?"

"Can you win the prize?" Lu Qin smiled.

Su Yun smiled inscrutablely, but did not answer this question.

Su Yun naturally hopes to win the award, who wants to return empty-handed?According to the predictions of film critics, there are three awards that "Mengsheng" is most likely to win this time, one is the best editing, the other is the best photography, and the other is the Palme d'Or for the best film.This is basically the same as what Su Yun's team predicted.However, at the end of the closing ceremony, awards such as best editing and best photography have been awarded, and the crew of "Mengsheng" still has nothing to gain.

Su Yun's fingertips felt a little cold.

According to the team's prediction, although "Mengsheng" was nominated for best picture, the chance of winning is slim.In fact, even Su Yun himself knew this very well.This is the first time he has directed a film. It is a great honor to be nominated in the main competition unit of the Cannes Film Festival with his debut work. In fact, he can accept it whether he wins the award or not.However, no matter how well he adjusts his mentality, he always has a little bit of hope that he knows is unrealistic.This film is a film he has worked with China's top team for nearly two years. He hopes that this film will gain international recognition.

In the tense mood, the person next to him suddenly stretched out a hand.That hand was dry and warm, and there was a small platinum and diamond ring on the ring finger, which was hard on the ring on Su Yun's fingertip.Su Yun turned his head and saw Lu Qin showing him an encouraging smile. At this time, the Palme d'Or prize was drawn.

"The winner of the Best Film Award at the Xth Cannes International Film Festival is..." On the stage, the chairman of the Chinese jury opened the envelope, and read the name clearly in Chinese into the microphone. ""Dream Life"!"

In an instant, the audience burst into applause, Su Yun became the center of all the lights, and the screen quickly switched to his face. For two or three seconds, he forgot to smile, his expression was stiff, and he opened his mouth wide until Lu Qin was excited. He hugged him tightly before he could react.

He got the award he wanted the most, but thought he had the least hope of it!

Su Yun hugged the team members one by one, and led the crew members to the stage to accept the award.Du Zixiao walked on his left, and asked excitedly in a low voice while walking: "Brother, how much do you think the film critic will pay this time!" Su Yun never expected that he would come to such a conclusion, and couldn't help but He glanced at him in surprise, who would have thought that this look would be captured by the reporters present and misinterpreted as surprise, and the next day it would be used as a picture for the news, and it would also appear on major domestic websites.

Su Yun stepped onto the stage and personally took the rolled-up certificate tied with a red ribbon from the chairman of the Chinese judging committee, then adjusted the height of the microphone, and gently kissed the red ribbon on the certificate.

"Thank you Cannes, thank you," he said. "It's not my first time in Cannes, but it's my first time standing on the podium in Cannes. I'm really nervous to be here. Thank you to the jury for this award." Give it to me, thanks to all those who support the film. The film is the common ideal of me and the crew. This award is not the end, but the beginning, and we will do better."

He turned sideways and introduced to the audience: "Thanks to my crew, Du Zixiao, Ren Xi, photographer Lin You, artist Zheng Qi, thanks to teacher Zhang Feng for helping me during the filming of this film, and thanks to Ms. Lu Nanfang , and, thank you."

The "you" was ambiguous, and the audience did not understand who Su Yun was referring to, so everyone fell silent and waited for Su Yun.

Su Yun looked down the stage, the lights on the stage were too bright, making it so dark that it was almost impossible to see anything clearly, but he looked down the stage, he knew that Lu Qin was sitting there.

"Thank you for everything you did for me, thank you for never leaving me when I was most vulnerable, thank you for always being by my side. It was you who brought me to Cannes, where I fell in love with movies, thank you .”

Su Yun raised his head, he looked at the audience, and a gaze from the audience silently looked over.They looked at each other from afar and smiled at each other.
