460 The end is also the beginning (end)
Although Cannes, Venice and Berlin are nominally known as the three major European film festivals, relatively speaking, Cannes deserves to be ranked first in terms of popularity and influence.
The Palme d'Organ cannes is the highest award in the international film festival.
All the directors who can win this award are leaders in the film industry and have super high-quality masterpieces.
So when Jean Besson read out Wei Xun's name, let alone Wei Xun and Bai Qianchi on the scene, they couldn't believe it, even the netizens on China were hurriedly confirming.
"I heard it right!"
"Jean Besson is definitely talking about Wei Xun, the handsome oriental man, Wei Xun, the director of "Saw" and "Infernal Affairs"!"
"Ahhhhh, I just know that those who go to bed late can see the big news! Congratulations to Director Wei, who won the first Palme d'Or prize in a century of Chinese film history!"
"Damn it, dazzle, dazzle, awesome guard!"
"It's already past five in the morning. I'm not sleeping anymore. I'm waiting for the headlines of the news to explode, and I'm waiting for the entertainment media to go crazy!"
Everyone thought that Wei Xun and Bai Qianchi's two-year-old actors were already exciting enough, but they didn't expect that there was even bigger waiting.
Palme d'Or!
Wei Xun, the first director in Chinese film history to win the Palme d'Or in a century!
At the Cannes Film Festival, the big screen has been locked on Wei Xun's face.
"Wow." Jean Besson stood on the podium and joked: "It seems that my old friend hasn't come back from the surprise yet. I can tell you with certainty that this award is yours, but if you don't come up, I think I might think about it again."
There was a burst of kind laughter from the audience.
Bai Qianchi stood up excitedly, patted Wei Xun on the shoulder, and urged: "Go up quickly, this is the Palme d'Or!"
They were just talking about the topic of "Is the Palme d'Or made of gold?", but unexpectedly, the Palme d'Or came in a blink of an eye.
When Wei Xun came on stage, he still had a surprise on his face that he had not had time to dissipate... and the Best Actor Trophy in his hand.
"Well, it seems that our Actor King has so many trophys in his hand that it is almost impossible to get it. This is really enviable." Jean-Beston teased, reached out to hug Wei Xun, and finally handed over tonight's Palme d'Or to his hands.
Wei Xun held the trophy in his left and right hands, standing in front of the ground microphone, smiling with his eyebrows and eyes curled.
"I just thanked many people, but I didn't expect to stand here again in a blink of an eye. This award is very meaningful to me, and to the Chinese film industry. This is the first time that we Chinese filmmakers have won a world-class film award in Cannes. Over the past century, seven generations of Chinese filmmakers have worked diligently and worked hard to go abroad and export culture. You may not know them, but it is the foundation they laid that has created Wei Xun today and the Palme d'I in my hands."
Wei Xun took a deep breath and smiled: "Huaxia is the second largest movie box office in the world. There are countless excellent filmmakers in the industry who bring their works to the world. Here, on behalf of China, I welcome filmmakers from all over the world to cooperate in China. Oriental Chinese are famous for their hospitality."
After saying that, he stood on the stage and raised two golden trophys with both hands.
There was thunderous applause from the audience.
The oriental man on the stage is elegant and mature, handsome and gentle, so dazzling that he can't take his sight away.
However, what no one knows is that when the oriental man walked off the stage, he smiled and said to Bai Qianchi next to him: "The case has been solved. The Golden Palme d'Or is made of 18k pure gold, 118 grams of Golden Palme d'Or, and the crystal base..."
Bai Qianchi smiled and looked refreshed.
-
The new Cannes Film Festival ended after the announcement of the Palme d'Or.
And at this moment, it is the morning of the new day.
Many people are shocked to find that from the news, to domestic entertainment sectors such as Banban Forum, Yashan, and Rabbit District, and even social news headlines, they are all reporting the same news in overwhelming coverage - "Infernal Affairs" won the Palme d'Or, and Wei Xun Bai Qianchi was awarded the emperor together.
In the news, #Wei Xun Golden Palme d'Or# and #Wei Xun Bai Qianchi Cannes Double Yellow Actors# both top searches are ranked first and second in the hot search list, and they are both detonated.
The photos of Wei Xun Bai Qianchi hugging at the Cannes podium and the photos of Wei Xun holding two trophies in his hand and smiling on the podium were even reprinted by media people and netizens.
"The first Palme d'Or in the history of Chinese films in a century was won by Wei Xun! "Infernal Affairs" is destined to be recorded in the history of Chinese films!"
"Wei Xun, Bai Qianchi won the emperor together at the Cannes Film Festival with "Infernal Affairs"!"
"Wei Xun's two works, "Saw" and "Infernal Affairs", have completely entered the ranks of international directors. Congratulations to Wei Xun!"
"Movie Weekly, New Youth Film News, Dynasty Entertainment, Huaying Media, Huaxia Film Channel and other newspapers, film and television companies' media departments, and TV channels jointly sent a red good news to congratulate Cannes on "Infernal Affairs" for winning the Palme d'Or!"
"The youngest Chinese Slam actor, the 30-year-old Cannes actor, the international Palme d'Or winner, and the Chinese filmmaker Wei Xun who carried more than 10 billion yuan in box office alone. His life is legendary."
In China, everyone from the media to the public is caring.
In the small town far away in Cannes, France, the wind was very cool at night. Wei Xun changed into the dress he wore when he walked the red carpet, quietly came out of the hotel in casual clothes, and walked alone on the street.
He is particularly satisfied and in a very happy mood now.
The Palme d'Or is definitely the biggest gain of this trip to Cannes.
"Perhaps it's time to bring out some theoretical knowledge as the Palme d'Or."
He walked unconsciously on the street, thinking that it was almost time.
Theoretical knowledge about the expressionist, methodical school, and experiential school, the definition of performance, and the exchange of performance beliefs and emotional communication...
As for the above theoretical knowledge, there is a book that can perfectly cover it. The name of this book is "Actor's Self-cultivation".
Shao Bing, Bao Qiang, Kang Cheng and others have already gone to Hollywood. Wei Xun has now obtained the Palme d'Or. It is time to start the next battle with Hollywood as agreed with them as agreed with them.
There is a theoretical book "The Birth of an Actor" that leads the way, with theoretical system and box office capital attacking on both sides. The future path will definitely be easier.
But...it is definitely not that simple. Maybe in the next ten or twenty years, we will work hard for this goal.
The first decade has passed.
What will the second one look like?
Wei Xun is looking forward to it.
However, the future is the future after all, and it is useless to think too much now. He raised his hand and looked at his watch. It was already morning in China, so he took out his cell phone to call Chi Tang, and then walked back along the quiet street.
Perhaps it was really aligned. The moment Wei Xun was about to dial the phone, Chi Tang called in first.
Wei Xun smiled and pressed the answer button.
On the other side of the phone, Chi Tang said with a smile: "Wow, the actor, and the Palme d'Or, you are so awesome, you are now all the headlines in China."
Wei Xun smiled and said, "You already know? Then I should have called you earlier, but thinking that today is the weekend and you can sleep in, so you won't bother you."
"It feels very depressed to be known about the surprise in advance. I understand. Then, in order to compensate you, I will give you a surprise too." Chi Tang paused for a moment and smiled and said, "Congratulations, Mr. Wei, you may...be a father."
Wei Xun felt his breathing suffocated and his heart beat for half a beat.
On a quiet night, the sky is bright and the stars are sparse. Under the street lights on the streets of the Cannes town, a Chinese man suddenly jumped up, clenched his fists excitedly, and grinned silently.
"It's indeed a big surprise. Wife, wait, I'll buy a plane ticket right away..."
