my wife is a showman

Chapter 213 Could it be that I was running with you
Everyone watched the stage silently, especially those in the Chinese film circle. Everyone wanted to know if "Soulbreaker" could win the award this time.

Xu Lang's heart was pounding, Ma Ke held his hand tightly, and Tang Sinuo looked back at him.

The grandmother who opened the envelope moved very slowly, and said tremblingly: "The winning work is "Must Be Heaven."

"Hey..." Ma Ke sighed.

"It's okay, it means it's a good thing, there are big prizes waiting for us." Wang Baobao was quite optimistic.

"It's not bad to have a nomination," Liu Bo said.

"There will definitely be more in the future. It can't be just this one nomination." Shi Shi replied.

Wu Jingsong was more stable. He just pushed his glasses and looked at the stage silently. He had experienced too much loss.

The corner of Lu Da's mouth twitched secretly, and he whispered in his wife's ear: "I don't want you to think, I want me to think, this drama is over."

"Don't be ashamed, you, look at your shame." Yang Baobei muttered.

These two people deliberately used this scene to fight each other to make them unhappy.

There was thunderous applause from the auditorium, and every time it was announced, some people were happy and some were worried.

After this award ended, several more awards were moved, but none of them were nominated for the soul-breaking gun, and they soon went to the main unit.

"It's over, it's over." Baby Wang was discouraged.

"Baby, don't talk nonsense, maybe there will be a nomination for the main unit." Ma Ke said.

Xu Lang pushed Ma Ke's hand away, both palms were sweaty.

If I had known earlier, I should have sat with Shi Shi.

"It's okay, it's the first play, so it's good to have a nomination." Xu Lang comforted.

Everyone had no expectations and could only applaud numbly.

Next is the focus of the film festival, and the weight of the guests who present the main unit awards is even greater.

Must Be Paradise, a home-grown film, again received a Special Jury Mention.

The Jury Prize went to "Les Misérables."

"Broken Soul Gun" still didn't even get a nomination.

"It's okay, don't be nervous, the last few awards are the highlight." Shi Shi comforted Xu Lang.

That's right, the last six awards are the highlight, and even one nomination is enough for the whole world to recognize.

"It's enough to be nominated." Wang Baobao muttered.

Everyone has started to give up the idea of ​​winning and just want to get a nomination.

It can be seen that rumors are sometimes really unreliable.

If it weren't for the messy rumors that raised everyone's appetite so much, Xu Lang and the others could have enjoyed the atmosphere of the scene.

Liu Bo kept silent, his face was hot and he was quite ashamed.

He was wondering if it was because he didn't lead well that led to the current situation.

"Next, we will present the first of the last six major awards, the Best Screenplay Award. We invite our presenters Mr. De Niro and Ms. Zhang Ziyi."

De Niro came out from backstage holding the hand of Zhang Ziyi. Zhang Ziyi is one of the Chinese actresses with the highest international status, thanks to director An's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

"The finalists for Best Screenplay in Cannes main competition are..."

The host looked at the screen. At this time, it was the final high court, and the people at the scene became more nervous. Except for coughing, almost no one was whispering.

Even for world-class directors, every awards ceremony is extremely tense.

After all, there is only one chance a year, and if you miss it, you miss it. No one thinks too much of a prize, and no one wants to be a legacy.

"The first work to be nominated is 'Parasite,' Bong Joon-ho."

There was thunderous applause at the scene, and this drama is a hot spot this year.

After the promotional video was finished, the host said, "The second nominated work is "Portrait of a Lady on Fire" Céline Sciamma."

"The third nominee is Steven Zaillian for 'The Irishman.'"

There was a moment of restlessness below, because De Niro is the leading actor of the work, but this is the screenwriting award, so it is no problem for him to present it.

De Niro nodded and smiled.

"The third nomination is Quentin Tarantino for Once Upon a Time in Hollywood."

Xu Lang looked at the screen and sighed deeply, feeling like he was about to suffocate.

"The fourth nominated work is "Broken Soul Gun" Xu Lang."

This time on the screen was a group show performed by Wang Baobao on the street, and there was another commotion in the audience, but it was only limited to the Chinese circle.

Many people looked at Xu Lang's group and applauded.

Liu Bo was about to jump up with excitement.

Xu Lang thought he heard it wrong, it was an English name after all, and he got excited after seeing the short video.

"That's awesome, Xu Lang."

Ma Ke was extremely excited and held Xu Lang's hand tightly again.

Xu Lang's attention was all on the stage, he was not in the mood to talk to Ma Ke, let alone Tang Sinuo was looking at him, which made Tao Cuiwen next to her suspicious. Recently, she had heard the rumors.

"It's so amazing, I will definitely win an award." Shi Shi said nervously.

Wang Baobao and Wu Jingsong applauded non-stop, holding back for almost an hour, and finally there was a nomination.

Almost all of these films are scripts written by the director himself. It can be seen that a good director must also be a good screenwriter.

Then everyone looked forward to it, looking forward to the announcement of this award.

This is the most likely award, and the competition for the next few is too fierce. Which of these popular movies, which star and which director is not a master of the work, and Xu Lang likes Al Pacino among them.

De Niro and Zhang Ziyi looked at each other and smiled. They were not in a hurry to announce, but were deliberately making a joke.

De Niro handed the envelope to Zhang Ziyi in a gentlemanly manner, and asked her to announce the list of winners.

"The best screenwriter award goes to..."

Zhang Ziyi paused with a smile, and then said loudly: "Portrait of a Burning Woman, congratulations to Celine Sciamma!"

The crew stood up excitedly, hugged each other, waved to everyone excitedly, and the audience also burst into warm applause.

The screenwriter is also the director, and he walked to the stage in a glorious dress.

This drama is very boring, and there is no plot. The box office is naturally mediocre for the love of lesbians, so I hope to win awards.

Some people are happy and some are worried, not only Xu Lang, but also the other works that accompany the run are also very sad.

This is the case with European film festivals, where literary and artistic dramas are more favored by the judges.

Several other big guys are sour once a year and have long been accustomed to it.

At this time, you can't be unmannered, so you can only applaud unhurriedly, show an awkward smile, and cheer for the other party.

"Maybe there will be opportunities in the future." Ma Ke comforted.

At this moment, De Niro took the list with squinted eyes, and said, "Oh, I just missed an important piece of information, and there is another name."

This long reflex arc has once again whetted everyone's appetite. There are often joint awards at Cannes, but not too many. That year's "Farewell My Concubine" was the only film to win the highest award, and it also tied for awards.
