Chapter 410 Best Director
Although the photo was posted and Jin Yao also @yanfuguang on Instagram, the further interaction that everyone expected did not happen.
Jin Yao and Jiang Xingyue have already returned to China first, while Yan Fuguang still stays in Cannes.
The crew of the twelve-day film festival spent most of the time in promotions, and of course they couldn't be busy every day. Yan Fuguang took the time to go to Paris to visit Ange, and also went to the Bulgari headquarters to participate in brand activities.
Jimmy's condition has also improved a lot during this period. Although he cannot be as "rebellious" as Yan Fuguang said, his mentality has been adjusted well and he will not be unable to control himself when being besieged by reporters.
The day of the awards ceremony is just around the corner, and the domestic preparation for Cannes has reached its peak.
According to the marketing accounts, the probability of winning "Amy's World" is far over 80%, and Yan Fuguang is also very likely to be crowned Best Actress.
Cannes-related hot searches have been at the top of the rankings for half a month in a row. There are more people using it, so the momentum is naturally huge. It’s as if winning the award is already certain.
Rather than saying it is optimistic, it is better to call it flattering.
Mo Yun couldn't do anything about this kind of thing. After clicking on a hot search, a new one came out immediately.
The excitement has reached the closing day, and almost everyone is paying attention to how far "Amy's World" can go.
In the hotel room, Yan Fuguang stood in front of the mirror while the stylist was adjusting the dress.
Mo Yun on the side couldn't help but exhorted: "You must control your expression. No matter whether you win the award or not, you must not lose your composure."
After taking a look at Yan Fuguang, Mo Yun sighed helplessly: "Hey! I'd better tell myself. I can see from your look that you can't lose your composure."
"I can accept it whether I win or not, I'm not nervous, Aunt Mo." Yan Fuguang said with a smile.
"Okay, as long as you don't get nervous, if there are people on the Internet talking crazy things, just pretend they don't exist."
Mo Yun is very aware of the irritating nature of marketing accounts. Based on the stage they have set up during this period, if Yan Fuguang misses the lead, those people will never show mercy.
She knew that Yan Fuguang had good psychological quality and the possibility of failure in facial expression management was almost zero, but she still couldn't help but worry.
As a well-known agent in China, Mo Yun has brought out best actors and actresses, but her international influence is definitely not as good as Cannes. Not only is this the first time for Yan Fuguang, but it is also her first time.
Rather than saying that she was comforting Yan Fuguang, it was better to say that she was giving herself psychological hints.
Thinking of the travel variety show that will be broadcast tomorrow, Mo Yun suddenly felt a little regretful.
If Cannes is a huge flop this time and "Amy's World" fails to receive any revenue, I can't even imagine how many people will come out to set the pace when the show airs.
She had given Yan Fuguang the vaccination a long time ago. Yan Fuguang thought it didn't matter. She felt fine at the time, but when it came to the day of the award ceremony, she felt nervous.
At 18:00 local time in the evening, the closing ceremony officially began. All shortlisted film crews, jury members and special guests appeared on the red carpet one after another. Yan Fuguang shined in a silver and grass-green evening dress.
However, the red carpet at the closing ceremony is not as topical as the opening ceremony. At this moment, everyone is paying attention to the awards ceremony that will start in an hour and a half.
Zhong Canan led all the creative staff to sit in the front row. Apart from Yan Fuguang, Jimmy is probably the one with the most peaceful mind.
Although he is named the male protagonist, he is actually just a supporting character and has basically withdrawn from the competition for the best actor. He is the one with the least pressure.
Of course, Canaan Chung also has a good attitude. He has been nominated three times and won the Palme d'Or twice. He is an old acquaintance of Cannes.
This year is the fourth time he has been shortlisted for the main competition. If he is still the jury's favorite this time, he will become the only director in the world to win the Palme d'Or three times.
So Zhong Canan is looking forward to it, but on the outside he is still very calm.
In the footage of the live broadcast, all the members of "Amy's World" were extremely calm, which was in sharp contrast to the other finalists who were worried about gains and losses.
Jimmy said to Yan Fuguang next to him: "When I went to the Golden Globes and Oscars, my legs were shaking with so much nervousness that I couldn't remember a single word of the acceptance speech I prepared in advance."
He laughed a little as he spoke and joked to himself: "Fortunately, the Oscars are only nominations and no awards. Otherwise, I might not only forget my words when I get on stage, but I might even kneel on the stage with weak legs."
Jimmy observed Yan Fuguang's expression while talking. He was afraid that Yan Fuguang would be nervous, so he racked his brains to enlighten her.
Yan Fuguang covered her lips and smiled softly. Why did everyone think she was nervous?
"Don't worry, I won't forget my words or fall down, if I can get on stage."
Jimmy took a closer look and finally confirmed that Yan Fuguang was really calm.
He couldn't help but wonder: "Have you ever been nervous in your life?"
Yan Fuguang thought for a while, then nodded.
If "this life" is counted from the time she was born, then of course it has happened.
The first time he went into battle to kill an enemy, the first time he performed a heart transplant on someone, the first time he was splashed with "flesh and blood" by an exploding alien creature...
Compared to those, a movie awards ceremony is really nothing.
Time passed quickly, and the awards ceremony officially kicked off at 19:30.
Naturally, the first thing to start is the appetizers, all the awards except the main competition unit are announced one by one, and then the drama begins.
For all award-winning films, the moment they go on stage to receive an award is a grand ceremony in life, but for the media inside and outside the venue, they don't pay attention to those awards whose names they can't even remember.
When the host announced that the Best Screenplay Award would be announced next, you could clearly feel that the atmosphere at the scene had changed from this moment on.
The two most talked-about films are undoubtedly "Amy's World" and "Spider". The quality of these two films is indeed far superior to the others, but Cannes is not exempt from the rules of dividing the pork.
Generally speaking, the same film can win two laurels at most. No matter how wonderful the film is, there are few exceptions.
Most people thought that the best screenplay would go to "Amy's World", but the final results were revealed and the winner was a Danish film - "Letter from Copenhagen".
However, the organizing committee is very good at controlling the pace, giving a small upset first, and then getting the public's expectations back on track.
When the award presenter read out Canaan Chung's name, thunderous applause erupted from the audience. He deserved the Best Director award.
Compared with the previous screenwriters who burst into tears on stage, Canaan Chung showed everyone's style. Not only did he speak very fluently, but he also had the time to tease many old friends present.
After the Best Director Award, there will be another highlight. The much-anticipated Cannes Best Actor and Best Actress will be announced soon.
It doesn’t matter who the awarding guest is, and no one cares about what the award speech says. Except for the members of the jury who already know the answer, both the guests in the venue and the countless viewers watching the live broadcast are all listening attentively.
Chapter completed!
