my wife is a showman

Chapter 215 How can I not be uncomfortable
Lu Da secretly watched Xu Lang come down from the stage and pass by, clapping with his lips crooked, with a very complicated expression on his expression.

To be honest, he has been paying attention to his handsome face all day long, and he doesn't know Xu Lang at all. He doesn't understand literature either, and he never reads books.

I haven't read "Broken Soul Gun" until now, and I have never heard of this novel, and I don't know why a leading actor can win the best screenplay award.

If he hadn't started arguing with his wife today, he wouldn't have cared too much about who Xu Lang was.

I wanted to pretend to be aggressive in front of my wife, after all, this is what he is best at, so I lost all my face by doing so.

Baby Yang leaned over and asked triumphantly, "What do you think?"

"It's just a small prize."

"Cut...it's terrible to be uneducated."

"Who do you think is uneducated?" Lu Da grinned secretly, but he criticized in his heart.

"Say you."

"Stop arguing, let's leave."

"Okay, I can't ask for it."

Xu Lang didn't know that these two psychopaths were using him as a medium to quarrel.

He handed the trophy to Li An, Li An to Liu Bo, Liu Bo to Shi Shi, Shi Shi to Yaya, Yaya to Ma Ke, Ma Ke to Wang Baobao, Wang Baobao to Teacher Wu.

Teacher Wu handed it to Xu Yaya. Yaya didn't know what kind of honor this trophy represented.

It's just that everyone praises Dad so much, it must be amazing.

"If only Mom could see it." She muttered, but no one heard it, it was too noisy.

It was the first time for everyone to touch the gold leaf trophy, and they were quite excited.

Wang Baobao snatched it from Xu Yaya's hand and fumbled a bit.

"Xu Lang, do you think this is real gold?"

"It should be, why don't you bite?" Xu Lang smiled.

"That's good stuff."

"Just take another one." Ma Ke muttered.

"Impossible." Xu Lang replied.

"The best actor depends on whether there are any plays. Your acting skills are no worse than theirs." Ma Ke said.

"I'm afraid you are not a fool."

No matter how confident Xu Lang was, he was not so arrogant.

After the Best Actress award is awarded, it will be the Best Actor. There are only two people in the Chinese film and television circle who have won this vanity, that is, Cannes Best Actor.

One Uncle Ge, one Liang Feige, not too many nominations.

"Okay, next we present the best actor award."

"The first work to be nominated is "Pain and Glory" Antonio."

applause.

"The second nominated work is "Parasite" Song Kanghao."

applause.

"The third nominated work is "Soul Break Gun", Xu Lang."

There was thunderous applause, and it exploded immediately.

Xu Lang didn't expect to join in so much excitement tonight.

What many actors dream of all their lives, he got it in his first play.

Ma Ke and Shi Shi shouted at the same time: "Win the prize, win the prize."

"Impossible, Cannes seldom has this kind of overkill, and they always balance it." Xu Lang replied.

"Shut up, you will win the prize." Shi Shi said.

The host also waited and let everyone cheer. After all, Xu Lang had just won an award and was nominated.

"The fourth nomination is Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, Brad Pitt."

"The fifth nominated work is "The Irishman", Al Pacino."

Xu Lang was immediately excited. At this moment, he was not thinking about the prize, but thinking that he would be able to compete with these big shots on the same stage, so he was in a good mood.

"Alright, let's invite our award presenters, Ann Lee and Hathaway."

The kind Dao An and the radiant Hathaway came out from the backstage, holding envelopes in their hands.

"Xu Lang, are you nervous?" Ma Ke asked.

Xu Lang grinned and looked at the stage, he wanted to enjoy this feast to his heart's content.

"I already have one award, why are you nervous?"

"Aren't you looking forward to it?"

"Do not expect."

"Fool."

While clapping, Shi Shi leaned on the chair, came over from behind Yaya and asked:
"Do you prefer the best screenplay award?"

"Why do you say that?"

"Because this is a compliment to your writing career. I read the novel you sold to Ma Ke. I wanted to buy it for 300 million, but unfortunately she didn't sell it."

"Not selling for 300 million? At that time, she only spent 100 million."

"You understand." Shi Shi smiled helplessly.

Director An opened the envelope and read: "The winner of the Best Actor Award is..."

Hathaway's eyes were particularly big, and she grinned for a long time before saying loudly, "Antonio, congratulations!"

Xu Lang didn't feel any bitterness this time and applauded sincerely.

But the bigwigs in the other works felt uncomfortable.

Fuck, is it from the beginning to the end?

Running with them is the fate of many films. Whether it is the three major film festivals, the Oscars, or the Nobel, there are countless masters who have missed the awards.

Many practitioners have been running with them for many years, such as the Oscar winner Xiaoli, and Nobel's running emperor Murakami.

But that doesn't mean they're bad.

So nomination itself is an honor.

Some nominated works have circulated longer than award-winning works and have higher evaluations.

But people are always vulgar things, and who doesn't like brilliance.

"The Soul-Breaking Gun" was not favored by insiders at first. They were optimistic about Hu Ge's work "The Party at the Station", but in fact, it received nothing this time, not even a nomination.

Next, two more awards were announced, the Best Director and the Jury Prize, which basically had no chance with the above films.

"Okay, now comes the exciting moment, we will award the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival."

The Palme d'Or, also known as the Best Film Award, is the highest award every year.

This time "Broken Soul Gun" was not nominated. Just as Xu Lang speculated, this drama still took into account entertainment, so it won the box office, but it will naturally suffer a bit when it comes to awards.

It is also very necessary for the judges to first encourage works that are not shot for the box office.

If authoritative film festivals value the box office, they will not be far from falling into the altar. Film is still an art category in essence.

If we talk about heroes in terms of box office, even "Tiny Times" would be able to beat many great works.

"The work that won the best picture of this year's Palme d'Or is..."

The award presenters were Spielberg and Hollywood Queen Cate Blanchett.

"It's..."Parasite", congratulations!"

Hollywood's productions are almost wiped out tonight, and the bigwigs have gathered here from thousands of miles to serve as a foil.

Last year, a film from an island country also won this award.

Although people in the domestic film and television circles were also applauding, they felt sour in their hearts, even more so than the big names who were nominated.

What we often talk about is that the market is big, big, big, big, anyway, and there is nothing else.

The crew of "Parasite" waited for the whole night and finally got such a top award. Director Bong Joon Ho jumped up from his chair and hugged Song Kang Ho, very excited.

The Hollywood bigwigs next to him led the audience to stand up, salute and shake hands with him.

"Xu Lang, what do you think of this movie?" Ma Ke asked.

"Great."

"I also think it's very good, but it's not enough to get the Palme d'Or." Ma Ke asked suspiciously.

"It's difficult to evaluate this, and there is no strict standard, but Bong Joon-ho and Song Kang-ho are definitely qualified to win the Palme d'Or."

Xu Lang affirmed that these two are also his favorite directors and actors.

Sometimes the judges will also consider the historical results, not just the entries. If you have a good work that was killed by mistake, this time when the entries are similar, they will be given priority.

"Their films have really grown by leaps and bounds over the years."

Wu Jingsong pushed his glasses and sighed deeply, feeling quite uncomfortable in his heart.

There are tens of millions of people, making progress at a speed visible to the naked eye.

But we are constantly on the decline, he has been in the industry all his life, and he is still the principal of the Film and Television Academy, so how can he not feel uncomfortable.
