Chapter 296 It seems that I can't rest yet
After walking on the red carpet, naturally came the awards ceremony, which was a bit boring. Although the host spoke English, Jiang Xiao could understand it, and even if he didn't understand, there was a simultaneous interpreter.
But the so-called humor in a foreign country was obviously a bit difficult for him, an Oriental, to understand.
So I could only sit back and wait for the ending, and waited until the second half of the award ceremony. It was not so unexpected that "Li Mi's Conjecture" won the award, the Special Jury Award.
Jiang Xiao, Zhou Xun, Wang Baoqiang and other actors naturally stood up immediately amid polite applause, and congratulated director Cao Baoping one after another. They did not sit down again until they saw each other take the stage.
No matter what, I finally won the award, which is something to be happy about.
Although the Special Jury Award is meant to be a bit of a consolation, it is still the second favorite film in the minds of the judges, and may only be one vote away from the best film.
After it was over, at the invitation of the host, Penelope Cruz began to take the stage, preparing to announce the Best Actor Award.
As for the Best Actress Award, which had been announced before, Zhou Xun's expectations were disappointed as it was awarded to two elderly actors from the United States and Türkiye.
Yes, that's right, I opened a double-yolked egg, which shows that this kind of thing does not only happen in China.
Returning to the Best Actor Award, Jiang Xiao suddenly found that he finally recognized a foreign star, Penelope Cruz, who had just appeared on the stage. No wonder he suddenly felt familiar when he heard the name.
She had a relationship with Tom Cruise and was the heroine of "Pirates of the Caribbean 4". She was nominated for an Oscar for Best Actress and won an Oscar for Supporting Actress. She is basically the most famous Spanish artist representative in the world.
By comparison, in Spain, it is probably equivalent to Zhang Ziyi in China.
Regardless of Jiang Xiao's mental activity, after taking the stage, Penelope Cruz greeted her with applause, then smiled and said: "It's an honor to be here to announce the Best Actor Award, and I
I am very willing to believe that the actors and gentlemen who can come here today and sit here are all the best representatives."
"But unfortunately, there are always only a few people who can receive honorary awards. So who is this lucky person?"
"Yes, his name is in the envelope in my hand now, ok, let us witness it together!"
While talking, Penelope Cruz opened the envelope, and after reading it, she said again: "Okay, "The Equation Love and Death" Jiang Xiao, congratulations!"
"Hua hua hua~~!!!"
Polite applause rang out, but Jiang Xiao himself was stunned for a moment. Did he win an award?
Although Penelope Cruz pronounces his name extremely irregularly, "The Equation Love and Death" is the real English name of "Leimi's Conjecture", so there should be no mistake.
"Jiang Xiao, it's you, you won the prize, why don't you stand up quickly?"
Zhou Xun, who was next to him, heard the simultaneous interpretation in his ears. Seeing that Jiang Xiao didn't seem to have hung the simultaneous interpretation headphones on his ears, he lightly touched the other person's arm as a reminder.
"oh!"
Seeing this, Jiang Xiao naturally stopped talking and quickly stood up and straightened his suit.
Then he also received congratulations from other actors in the crew, and Wang Baoqiang even called him "Brother Xiao".
Although he and the other party are said to be of the same year, he is actually about two months younger, so they have become "brothers."
Perhaps it was because he was much more famous than the other person, and his invisible halo made the other person subconsciously add the suffix "brother".
Or maybe Wang Baoqiang is actually pretending to be naive, uh... just joking.
Not mentioning this incident, after receiving the congratulations, Jiang Xiao quickly walked onto the stage calmly and received a silver shell-shaped trophy in a black box from Penelope Cruz.
Taking advantage of the situation, he gave the latter a polite hug and politely responded to the other party's congratulations.
Then he came to the podium in two steps, temporarily put the trophy box on the stage, and then spoke in standard English: "I am honored to receive this award. This is the best recognition for an actor."
"I am also very grateful to all the judges on the jury for awarding this award to me. Thank you."
"Finally, I would also like to thank Mr. Cao Baoping, the director of "Li Mi's Conjecture", as well as all the actors in the same crew, as well as other behind-the-scenes staff and the producer. Thank you."
"Finally, thank you again to the San Sebastian International Film Festival, thank you all!"
In this paragraph, when thanking the crew, Jiang Xiao switched to Mandarin again. It was none of his business if others couldn't understand it. As long as the person he was thanking could understand it.
Of course, in his last words of thanks to the film festival, he switched to English again.
"Is this guy so good at English?"
Although the audience in the audience did not understand, Jiang Xiao's English was extremely standard, which made Zhou Xun slightly surprised.
When we had dinner together at noon, the other party's beautiful assistant manager was busy ordering food and other things in English that was almost as good as Jiang Xiao's at that moment. At that time, she was still lamenting that she didn't know where the latter was from.
Find such an assistant manager who is both good-looking and talented.
At the same time, I thought Jiang Xiao's English might not be very good, but now I was pleasantly surprised, this guy is really good at hiding.
Zhou Xun was surprised at this point. Jiang Xiao himself was about to return to his seat after receiving the trophy after delivering his speech, but he did not expect that the hostess suddenly retained him and asked: "Jiang, we all
I knew you had just broken the world record and won the world sprint championship at the Beijing Olympics, but I am surprised that you are here again now, in San Sebastian, and won the best actor award."
"So I want to ask, how do you position yourself as a career, athlete? Or actor?"
"Why should I position myself? I think it is most correct to prove it with my results."
Although I don’t know why I came to him and even had an extra on-site interview, Jiang Xiao didn’t hesitate much and responded with a smile, pointing to the trophy in his hand.
"Hua hua hua~~!!!"
On the stage, Jiang Xiao’s witty reply obviously aroused another wave of applause from the audience.
"Wow, this is a very confident answer. I believe everyone thinks so, and I agree with it. OK, Jiang, congratulations again on winning the award, and I hope you stay in beautiful San Sebastian.
A wonderful memory, thank you!”
"I think I will."
Seeing that the female host had appropriately ended the brief interview, Jiang Xiao, who did not really doubt for a moment whether the other party was trying to cause trouble, calmly stepped down from the stage and returned to his seat after a word.
Next, the awards ceremony continued, but Jiang Xiao saw Zhou Xun extending his "criminal black hand" to him, uh... taking his trophy box and looking at it carefully.
It seems that this sister's expectations were really high. She didn't get what she wanted, and now she has to make up for it with the trophy.
At a certain moment, Jiang Xiao heard the other party suddenly whisper: "Jiang Xiao, do you think this thing is made of silver?"
"How is it possible? Such a big piece is made of silver at most. Only the Cannes trophy is pure gold. I hope I have the opportunity to get one in the future."
The silver shell was bigger than a palm, so it couldn't be real silver. Jiang Xiao, who had complained about it before, made another "arrogant" comment about Cannes.
"Well, if you are ambitious, I believe you can do it."
Regarding Jiang Xiao's "ambition," Zhou Xun could say more and offer encouragement.
Less than twenty minutes later, the award ceremony came to an end as the final Golden Shell Award was won by Turkey's "Pandora's Box". This year's San Sebastian Film Festival came to an end.
There will naturally be official interviews, cocktail parties and the like. The entire "Li Mi's Conjecture" crew only attended politely. After all, they don't know anyone or are familiar with them.
Afterwards, when we returned to the hotel, our celebration became more relaxed, and we also accepted interviews with several domestic media.
Speaking of which, these domestic media probably paid attention to this San Sebastian Film Festival because of "Li Mi's Conjecture", so they can't ignore it, right?
In this way, Jiang Xiao was busy until almost early in the morning before he was able to return to his room in the hotel to rest.
No, it seemed that he couldn't rest yet. Xiaodao girl unexpectedly took the initiative to sneak over, hugged him enthusiastically and said, "Brother Jiang Xiao, I'm really happy for you. Tell me, I can grant you a request!"
"Well, our Yingbao is really sensible. As you said, I do have a small request, which is..."
The opportunity came to her door, so don't give it up. Hearing this, Jiang Xiao clicked on Zhao Liying's lips, and then whispered a small request in the girl's ear.
Then what is like time, there will always be time, and a can also play a role.
"oh!"
Chapter completed!
