??The 75 Gregorian calendar, the [-]th Cannes Film Festival.

?? After a long time, when people look back on this film festival, the most intuitive impression is the disaster of famous directors.

?? In other words, well-known directors collectively encountered Waterloo.

??Since the third day of Hickson's film handed over a failing answer sheet, many international directors have missed one after another.

??Although it is said that literary and artistic creation is an art rooted in subjective thinking, if you are not careful, you will not be able to handle it well and go to the Pacific Ocean, but it is still quite rare for big directors to rush to the street collectively.

??For the French director Sixon's play, the audience can still persist until the end, but for the films of the other directors, many audiences started to stay in the middle of watching the movie.

??For this phenomenon, the foreign film media was quite puzzled, and even curiously asked a heart-warming question like "Are you all making appointments" when interviewing a famous director.

??Different from the collective failure of famous directors, the performance of young directors is quite surprising.

??In addition to Cen Jue, there are two or three well-known young directors who became famous at the premiere.

?? Among them, the momentum of Cen Jue is the most high.

??A few days after the premiere, the popularity of "The Man Who Predicted the Future" at the film festival was heard even by audiences in China.

??In order to meet the deeper needs of domestic audiences, a domestic student blogger who made a special trip to live broadcast Cannes made a special topic.

??In the special topic, the blogger comprehensively sorted out all the films in the main competition unit of Cannes from the aspects of news reports, industry attention, audience feelings, etc., and came to the conclusion that "veteran retired, dark horse vacated".

?? The dark horse that can run the most is naturally "The Man Who Predicts the Future".

??From the blogger's reprint, the domestic audience felt the enthusiasm of the foreign media—the local reports on the film in France were almost bragging.

??The French are romantic and enthusiastic, coupled with their natural exaggerated character, they can't wait to blow this movie to the sky.

??In order to express their love for Cen Jue, they even brought up the "little prince" stalk again, wishing to call Cen Jue their son who lived far away.

??The logic of the French is quite straightforward: Since "The Little Prince" is a Chinese work, Cen Jue's nickname is also called the Little Prince, why can't Cen Jue be Chinese.

??Huaguo Media: That's outrageous.

??In addition to the enthusiasm in foreign media, foreign film critics also praised this film.

??Because of the word-of-mouth at the premiere and the continuous addition of shows, when reporting on Cannes in other countries, this movie will be mentioned specifically.

??International students from all over the world can't help feeling a strong sense of pride when they read the report.

?? "Hua Guo Movies, the best movie."

?? "Chong Chong Chong, I hope Director Cen can win the award."

??A film festival that was originally concerned by people in the industry, but because of a popular Chinese film, it has become the focus of everyone in the country at the moment.

??Under this topic, a comment expressed the feelings of everyone:

?? "Never has a film festival been so exciting, because we know that our fellow citizens are trying to make the impossible possible."

??June, Cannes.

??All members of Cen Jue's team - except Cen Jue, are almost crazy busy.

??The domestic media is far away, and what they see is the result of many things after the dust has settled.

??Behind the great popularity of the movie, there are many staff members working tirelessly.

??Communicate and publicize with French media, build momentum for the film, and fight for rights with the organizer of the film festival...

??Any one of these requires a lot of time and effort. Just busying with these things is enough for everyone to consume all their energy.

??For this film festival, Director Zhou personally flew here with his usual PR team.

??All public relations tasks are coordinated by Director Zhou's people——

?? How to build momentum, how to publicize, and how to meet the needs of the judges at the film festival are all turned into a task.

??Besides that, Director Zhou himself went out in person, looking for people to visit.

?? With his qualifications, not only some members of the sponsor, but also some of his acquaintances among the judges.

??With the presence of him and his experienced team, the seven-point impact of "The Man Who Predicted the Future" was expanded to twelve points.

??In addition to Zhou Dao's help, Qi Yu was not idle.

?? There are various barriers in this world, but the circulation of capital has no borders.

??He and Jing Yuanbai talked about business together in Cannes.

??Tianhuan used to be the strongest film and television company in China. Of course, this is not the first time that Tianhuan has cooperated with foreign countries.

??Only this time, because of Cen Jue's participation, Jiguang Film and Television has been making frequent moves in the film market, which has attracted the attention of many international capitals.

??Money cleared the way, and Qi Yu soon got the exclusive tickets for big players and participated in several parties.

??In these gatherings, he even met the person in charge of the film festival earlier than Director Zhou.

?? "Oh, Qi, I know you. Battier talked about you."

?? Battier is the person in charge of the brand officially announced by Cen Jue not long ago, and is also the sponsor of a project in the film festival.

??The reason why the other party talks about Qi Yu is because the two parties have reached a cooperation in another field.

?? "I am very happy that you can come to the film festival in person."

??The film festival is both an art and a business. Since it is a business, it needs the arrival of big buyers who bring tangible benefits.

"Thank you." Qi Yu also showed a polite smile, "My lover and I like this place very much."

?? "... your lover?" The person in charge asked curiously.

??Hua people look younger than their actual age. In the eyes of the person in charge, Qi Yu is more like a young person in power in an aristocratic family.

?? Unexpectedly, the other party already has a partner.

"Yes." Speaking of Cen Jue, Qi Yu couldn't help but smile sincerely in his eyes: "He is a director, and his work has been shortlisted for the main competition."

??……director?

??The person in charge remembered Qi Yu's nationality, was stunned for a moment, and then asked tentatively, "Who is your lover?"

"His surname is Cen."

?? "Oh! The little prince!"

??The person in charge blurted out, and in just a second, he revealed his identity as a fan.

?? The two could not help but smile at each other.

?? With this layer of origin, the promotional work of the film became more and more smooth.

?? June [-], Cannes Awards Ceremony.

??Because there are compatriots participating and the possibility of winning the award is very high, a domestic video website bought the rights to broadcast the film festival awards ceremony very early.

?? Sure enough, just an hour before the awards ceremony started, people poured into the live broadcast room one after another.

?? "When does the ceremony start? Wait for a trick to win."

??"wait wait wait!"

?? "Get started!"

??After endless waiting, the audience finally ushered in the red carpet for the closing ceremony.

?? But whether it is the barrier of words or the unfamiliar faces, the audience is confused.

??Finally a familiar face, or a star who was invited by a sponsor to advertise for the brand.

?? "...Even if you come to rub the red carpet, it's better than not knowing anyone at all."

??Since the domestic pioneers created the red carpet shows of major film festivals, going to the red carpet to take pictures during the film festival week has become a means of retention for some stars who need popularity.

??Finally, halfway through the red carpet, the audience waited for the first celebrity who was invited off the red carpet because of staying too long.

?? "Good guy, finally Cannes is familiar with that taste."

??The barrage in the live broadcast room is full of cheerful atmosphere.

?? Red carpet scene.

??The stars on the red carpet were reluctantly invited down.

??Of course he knew that if he extended his stay, he would be ridiculed in the press release issued by his opponent and would lose face, but the lack of business and the high cost of going to France made it impossible for him to just walk around the red carpet.

??He needs pictures, heat, and drafts.

??but--

?? When he was politely asked to leave by the security guards, he felt a kind of unhappiness from the bottom of his heart.

What was even more heart-wrenching was that when he was expelled from the red carpet, he suddenly heard screams from behind and the sound of the camera shutter frantically pressing.

??who is it?

??Which big man will appear?

?? "Prince!!"

?? "Cen!!!"

?? "Ah ah ah!"

??In the live broadcast room, although the audience knew little about foreign languages, at this moment, everyone instantly understood the meaning of what the audience said.

??Compared to the madness at the scene, the barrage in the live broadcast room was even quiet for a second.

??this--

??Is it really the person they know who has such popularity and is so valued?

??Under the attention of everyone, as the camera moved, a familiar face appeared on the screen of the live broadcast room——

??"grass!"

?? "Sloppy!"

??The barrage exploded, and dense exclamation words covered the entire screen.

??At the same time, an indescribable excitement flowed from everyone's hearts.

?? There seems to be an electric current passing through the spine, which is tingling and numb, which cannot be suppressed.

?? "Is this our director Cen's meeting?"

?? "Why is Director Cen replaced at this moment..."

?? "Okay, so cool."

??Cannes, as one of the largest events in the world, attracts at least 10 people every year, but there are few reports in China.

?? Without him, in the final analysis, the number of films nominated by Hua Guo is small, and the nominated awards are not important.

??There are no excellent works, no reports, and a lack of domestic focus. Therefore, this one of the most important international awards in the film industry has become a dedicated venue for the red carpet show.

??The absence of Huaguo filmmakers caused foreign media to pay little attention to Huaguo stars on the red carpet.

??When the audience saw this, they became more and more resistant to the film festival, thus forming a vicious circle.

?? But, at this time, this entrenched phenomenon seems to be broken.

??The person walking on the red carpet was born in Huaguo, grew up in Huaguo, and filmed the story of Huaguo, but the audience from all over the world still cheered him enthusiastically.

??The camera swept across the faces of these viewers, thousands of miles away, and the viewers in the live broadcast room could still feel their love and enthusiasm from the screen.

??At this moment, a bridge of mutual communication between different cultures seems to have been born. Those barriers from skin color, accent, and language have dissipated, and the rest is liking for the same person.

?? "Yeah, our Director Cen really hates and likes it!"

?? "Our director Cen's movie is very good!"

?? Countless people had the same idea in their hearts, and a smile appeared on their faces involuntarily.

?? There is pride, satisfaction, and gratification in this smile.

?? At this moment, the hidden needs in the heart are met.

?? "Just watching the part of the red carpet, I'm already happy."

?? "Director Cen, strive for success!"

?? "It's worth squatting live tonight."

??Although the audience received great cheers, the Cen Jue team did not stay on the red carpet.

??They don't need to take pictures, and they don't need to take the initiative to send a press release. Naturally, they don't have to miss this opportunity to appear.

??After simply responding to the audience, they entered the auditorium where the award ceremony was held.

??The seats in the auditorium for the awards ceremony are red, row after row. As the creator of the main competition unit, Cen Jue's team is located in the center of the second row, only a few meters away from the awarding platform.

?? This time at the awards ceremony, there were two people who followed Cen Jue, namely Qi Yu and Ling Zhiyu. When they were seated, they sat on both sides of Cen Jue.

??It took a long time to wait for the official start of the ceremony. Although Cen Jue didn't know anyone, during this period of time, strangers frequently came to greet him.

??In the eyes of these people, there is liking, admiration, jealousy and resentment...

??Ling Zhiyu couldn't help feeling emotional: "There are so many people who are popular."

??However, the attitude of people in the industry is also a sign of the award.

??In the main competition unit, there are a total of several awards. In addition to the regular awards such as best actor and actress, best director, etc., according to the weight of the film, the top two are the Palme d'Or and the jury award.

??The former is a well-deserved Best Picture Award, and the latter is also a serious and valuable award.

?? "I heard people say, Director Cen, you may be expected to win the jury award this time."

??Ling Zhiyu came over and told Cen Jue what he had overheard and the conclusions that Director Zhou and his team had analyzed.

?? Speaking of this, Ling Zhiyu's eyes flickered. For him, being able to come to Cannes was already beyond his expectations.

??If the film won another award——

??Even any award can make him successfully transform and prolong his life in the entertainment industry.

??If, if they were really lucky enough to win the Palme d'Or, he couldn't imagine what he would become...

"Shut up."

?? Under Cen Jue's soft reminder, Ling Zhiyu raised his head and subconsciously smiled at the indoor camera.

?? What Ling Zhiyu didn't know was that at this moment, his smile was transmitted to every corner of the world through electronic signals.

??Naturally, the picture of him appearing was sent back to China, and it also received the eager attention of the audience.

?? "Oh my god, I really envy Ling Zhiyu. Being able to be the leading actor of Director Cen is a blessing that has been cultivated for many years!"

??Off-screen, many young fresh meat who are in urgent need of transformation are gnashing their teeth and thinking.

??In the confusion of everyone's thoughts, the awards ceremony began.

??The host and award presenters take turns in English and French.

??Ling Zhiyu listened blankly.

??Beside him, two heads leaned together——

??Cen Jue minored in French for a while in college, and besides that, English is also a compulsory course since he was a child.

?? Just when Qi Yu leaned over to translate for Cen Jue, he found that Cen Jue also leaned towards him.

?? The two were surprised for a moment, then looked at each other and smiled.

??Ling Zhiyu who was fed dog food and couldn't understand English while sitting by the side: I hate it!

?? The camera in front of the screen scanned them, and the audience: I got knocked!

??However, even if you feel that these two have a good relationship, it still cannot relieve the tension of the audience.

??Since the awards ceremony began, some people have been restless and anxiously waiting.

??Although they believe in the quality of the film and are well aware of the attractiveness of Huaguo, a huge market, they will hang in their hearts for a day before their boots hit the ground.

??At this time, someone came up with the information about the film festival awards ceremony that he had just checked——

??There are more than 20 films shortlisted for the main competition unit, but there are only a few awards. Therefore, in principle, the jury will not award multiple awards to one film.

??Therefore, "The Man Who Predicted the Future" may win the grand prize palm, or the jury award, or the jury award that is consoling and represents the judges' preference...

??Which one is it?

?? Cen Jue is the new director, and he is also from the distant Hua Kingdom. Will the Palme d'Or give him it?

??Otherwise, it is not unacceptable for the best director to fail to win the first two awards.

??Is there a possibility that you won't even get a prize?

?? At this moment, everyone is weighing in their hearts.

??The awards ceremony is still going on, and some awards have been awarded——

??The best actress was given to a Polish actress, and the best actor went to the pocket of the French actor.

?? The jury prize went to a new director, and the best screenplay went to Latin America.

?? Best Director Award?

??A senior older director stood up.

?? One by one award exclusion, hope and disappointment rise at the same time.

??Everyone who is looking forward to is caught in a dilemma - on the one hand they hope to get the award and the dust settles, on the other hand, they are looking forward to a better award.

?? What if, what if?

??Finally, after endless waiting, the awards ceremony ushered in the Grand Jury Prize, second only to the second prize of the Palme d'Or, and also the most likely award in Director Zhou's mind.

??Come on, this is it!

?? At this moment, even Cen Jue himself began to hold his breath, praying for the arrival of this grand prize that is not inferior to the Palme d'Or.

?? "The winner is——"

?? "Ancora "Alien."

?? At this moment, an inexplicable emotion was born in everyone's heart.

??It looks like disappointment, but also seems to have a glimmer of deeper hope.

?? If it is the award?

??All other possibilities were cut off. At this moment, there was only one possibility before Cen Jue.

?? Or, won the Palme d'Or.

?? Or, no harvest.

?? One step to heaven, one step to hell, nothing more than this.

??Under the tremendous pressure, Cen Jue's stomach began to ache.

?? Qi Yu stretched out his hand and pressed it on his shoulder.

"Don't be afraid, believe in yourself." In the noisy venue, Cen Jue heard the firmness in Qi Yu's words.

??At this moment, the award presenter came to the stage and took out the award card.

?? "The Palme d'Or for Best Picture, won by-"

??The guest glanced at the award card in his hand and smiled brightly: "Congratulations, Prince."

??Who is this?

??Cen Jue was in a daze, and was pulled up by Qi Yu.

??Besides, Ling Zhiyu has already jumped up.

?? A bright light hit Cen Jue, and his figure appeared on the big screen.

??... Oh, it's him.

?? Cen Jue thought in a daze.

?? At the same time, his figure appeared on the screens of hundreds of countries at the same time through the broadcast.

?? "Congratulations, please come to the stage." The host reminded gently.

??"go quickly."

?? After Qi Yu finished speaking, he found that his hand was being held.

??"Together."

?? Qi Yu gradually came to his senses and couldn't help laughing.

?? He knew that this was Cen Jue telling him that although the other party was busy with his career, he put him in the most important position in his heart.

?? All honors, whether high or low, are willing to share with him.

??Under the bright lights of the venue, Qi Yu was led forward by Cen Jue, just like all the events they had attended before.

??The barrage on the domestic live broadcasting platform went crazy when the award presenters announced that Cen Jue had won the Palme d'Or, but seeing the scene in front of him, he seemed to feel the love flowing between the two of them across thousands of mountains and rivers.

?? "Meow, I am a single dog, and I also feel the taste of love."

?? This feeling is companionship, caring, and sharing joys and sorrows.

?? Also under the spotlight, holding hands.

??Under the gaze of thousands of eyes, Cen Jue and Qi Yu walked up to the podium together, received the trophy, and stood still beside the microphone.

??Everyone on the scene fell silent. They raised their heads in unison, looking at the miracle-maker on the stage.
