Chapter 327 Awards

The red carpet of the closing ceremony began.

The shouts outside were deafening, showing the enthusiasm of the fans.

Most of the crews walked on the red carpet to promote the movie, not to participate in the competition.

Among the several Chinese films, apart from "The Fault in Our Stars", "Wuxia" was the most valued by the Cannes officials.

After all, the latter was selected for the "Midnight Screening Unit".

"Dragon Gate Flying Swords", "The Best", "Snow Flower Secret Fan", etc. stepped onto the red carpet one after another.

Chen Kexin led Zhen Zidan, Tang Wei, Hui Yinghong and others, passing by Lin Nan.

Hui Yinghong and Tang Wei took the initiative to greet Lin Nan, and Chen Kexin and Zhen Zidan had to nod their heads.

…

When Lin Nan and the other two walked on the red carpet, the media on both sides became restless instantly.

Everyone knows that this is a film crew in the competition unit, and "The Fault in Our Stars" is likely to have received an "unspoken rule" invitation!

The domestic media waved desperately.

Lin Nan, Liu Yifei and Liu Xiaoli stopped for a few seconds, looked at them and gave them time to shoot.

The Sixth Princess was still awesome. She was not outside the fence, but entered inside, right next to the red carpet!

"Director Lin, Yifei, Ms. Liu, come on tonight!"

"Thank you."

…………

On the red carpet of the closing ceremony, every film crew of the competition unit who walked here would be stopped by the host for an interview.

"Star Luck" was no exception.

"Lin, you won the Golden Lion the first time you went to Venice. Tonight, do you have the confidence to win the Golden Palm?"

Hearing this, Lin Nan smiled and shook his head.

"No matter what award I can get, it is the recognition of the Cannes Film Festival for me."

The female host was obviously a little surprised by this smooth answer, but she didn't ask any more questions.

"Good luck tonight."

"Thank you."

The three continued to move forward until they stopped in front of the autograph wall.

At this time, Liu Yifei was a little nervous. After all, this was her first chance to win an award, and it was a Cannes award.

On the other hand, Liu Xiaoli was completely calm, as if she didn't have too many thoughts about the trophy. After all, she played the role of a mother in "Star Luck" and it was her daughter who forced her to pull it.

…………

The award ceremony in Cannes tonight was bigger than the ones Lin Nan had seen in Venice and Berlin before. Of course, there were more guests at the scene.

A staff member led Lin Nan and the other two to the middle front position, the fourth row.

Zhou Xun waved at this side from a distance, and Liu Yifei also responded.

The domestic crews were relatively far back. After all, the first few rows were all the crews of the participating films.

Liu Xiaoli and Liu Yifei sat inside, and Lin Nan sat near the aisle.

The guests on the red carpet entered one after another, and the time was getting closer and closer to the official start.

Liu Yifei couldn't help but grab Lin Nan's hand.

"You still say you are not nervous, haha."

Lin Nan joked, in exchange for a vicious look from Miss Liu.

Liu Xiaoli on the other side also smiled and shook her head.

Not long after, the chairman of the jury, Robert De Niro, came up.

"Welcome filmmakers from all over the world to gather in Cannes today. Tonight, we will present the new Palme d'Or..."

For nearly an hour, the stage introduced all the films that made it to the final in the "Foundation Unit", "Focus Unit" and "Competition Unit".

Finally, the highlight came.

The awards in the non-competition unit were presented first.

Lin Nan had to admit that he was a little restless.

The Cannes Film Festival awards introduction and trophies for different awards appeared on the big screen.

Lin Nan's attention fell on the competition unit.

The trophies in the competition unit are all pure gold olive branches, but they are of different sizes.

The Best Film Palme d'Or trophy is 13.5 cm long, 9 cm wide, weighs 118 grams, has 19 leaves, is made of 24K pure gold, and the base is a one-kilogram clear crystal.

The trophies for other awards were also 24K pure gold olive branches, but they were only about one-third the size of the Palme d'Or, and the crystal used as the base was much smaller.

Of course, in addition to the trophies, there were also corresponding certificates.

At this time, the awards ceremony on the stage had entered the "Focus" unit.

"Best Film, Arirang, Kim Ki-duk. Congratulations!"

…………

Liu Yifei held Lin Nan's hand even tighter.

"Lin Nan, we're about to enter the competition unit."

"Why, are you a little nervous?"

"I'm not nervous. What award can we win?"

Liu Yifei asked in a low voice.

The awards in the main competition unit are better the closer they are to the end, and she knows this.

Before Lin Nan could speak, the awards ceremony for the competition unit had already begun.

Lin Nan and Liu Yifei sat up straight immediately.

A member of the jury walked onto the stage, opened the envelope, and read aloud:

"The winner of the Best Supporting Actress Award is: "The Fault in Our Stars", XiaoLiLiu..."

When the words fell, Lin Nan's brain crashed!

Liu Yifei was stunned at first, and then suddenly looked at Liu Xiaoli, who had a confused expression and was at a loss in her eyes!

"Mom, you won the award..."

At this moment, Liu Yifei had no other thoughts in her mind, only excitement and excitement, it was her mother who won the award!

Among the guests, those who came from China also looked at Lin Nan and Liu Xiaoli in amazement.

Good guy! I got a trophy for my mother-in-law in Cannes!

"Director Lin is so awesome now. Even if he only has this trophy, it will be a good story if word spreads about it."

Zhou Xun couldn't help but said something.

Zhang Ziyi, Li Bingbing, Fan Bingbing, including Jia Zhangke, Chen Kexin and others all looked shocked.

The award ceremony was still being read on stage, saying that Liu Xiaoli had performed a mother's selfless, sincere, and careful motherly love for her daughter...

"You are acting in your true colors, can you do a good job?"

Lin Nan came to his senses now and quickly reminded Liu Xiaoli.

"Auntie, it's time to go on stage..."

Liu Xiaoli nodded subconsciously, stood up, walked past Liu Yifei and Lin Nan, and walked towards the award podium step by step.

It can be seen that Liu Xiaoli did not think about winning the award at all, but it turned out that she won the award, so she was not even prepared.

"I, to be honest, never thought I would win the award."

On the stage, Liu Xiaoli glanced at her daughter, whose face was full of excitement, and Lin Nan, who was also smiling next to her, and felt an inexplicable sense of fulfillment...

"Sissi, Lin Nan, thank you..."

Liu Xiaoli thought of the dependence she had had with her daughter over the years and the real emotions brought into the plot, which made her feel a little sad for a moment.

"Thank you Liu Yifei, thank you Lin Nan, thank you Cannes..."

She raised the trophies and certificates in her hands, letting herself smile and covering up her emotions...

Lin Nan took the lead in giving applause, and then led to applause from the audience.

Liu Xiaoli walked down and returned to her seat.

"Mom, your eyes are a little red." Liu Yifei said with a smile.

"Damn girl, you're looking for a beating, right..."

Liu Xiaoli retorted angrily, her voice was a little hoarse, it was too embarrassing for her daughter to see through.

"Lin Nan, thank you. I didn't expect that after so many years, I would receive the award again at Cannes..."

Liu Xiaoli said softly, feeling a lot of emotions for a while.

"Auntie is too kind."

Lin Nan said with a smile.

He heard Liu Yifei talk about the reasons why Liu Xiaoli left the stage, her personality, family, pursuits, and more, Liu Yifei...

In the past, Liu Xiaoli often received awards.

The awards continue.

"The winner of the Best Actor Award is: Jean Dujardin..."

Lin Nan breathed out the breath he was holding.

Liu Yifei held Lin Nan's hand tightly, comforting him and cheering herself up.

"The winner of the Best Actress Award is: Kristen Dunst..."

Lin Nan could feel that Liu Yifei's hand relaxed for a moment, feeling soft and a little weak.

"Didn't I say that if you can't do it once, just do it twice, and I will help you get the best actress."

Liu Yifei raised her head and glanced at Lin Nan, her eyes a little disappointed and regretful, but in an instant, hope burst out.

"Well, if you don't succeed once, try twice. Aren't many seniors like this?"

Liu Yifei nodded and began to comfort herself, feeling like drinking chicken soup.

"But there was something rewarding today, at least mom got a prize."

Liu Yifei leaned on Liu Xiaoli's shoulder and smiled, and the latter looked at her daughter dotingly.

The Best Director Award has already arrived on stage.

Everyone cheered up instantly because Lin Nan also had this hope.

Gu Changwei, Zhou Xun and others also glanced over unconsciously.

"The winner of the Best Director Award is: "Drive", Nicholas..."

Well, Lin Nan gave up at this moment.

He has absolutely no confidence in winning the Palme d'Or. The probability is too small.

The sound of high heels came from the awards podium.

Including Lin Nan, everyone who came from China looked over.

The judging panel for awarding awards has been changed.

Shi Nansheng!

Lin Nan looked at the award podium with wide eyes, and his breathing became a little rapid.

He remembered that in Berlin, it was Shi Nansheng who gave him the award, and when it was his time, he replaced it.

"Lin Nan?" Liu Yifei called softly.

The Palme d'Or and the Grand Jury Prize are film awards, not individual awards.

"The winner of the Jury Prize is: The Fault in Our Stars, congratulations."

"Lin Nan!" Liu Yifei shouted happily, with a blush on her face.

Lin Nan did not answer, but stood up, looked at Liu Yifei with a smile, and then stretched out a hand. The latter smiled sweetly and held it.

"You go up, I won't go."

Liu Xiaoli said warmly, her daughter and Lin Nan can just go up, and she will not interfere with the camera.

Lin Nan and Liu Yifei both understood what Liu Xiaoli meant.

"Sissi, let's go."

"Um."

The two walked to the awards podium.

"Director Lin really won his second trophy for this movie!"

Zhou Xun, Fan Bingbing and others all had smiles on their faces. They thought they had a good relationship with Lin Nan.

Chen Kexin was a little speechless. In terms of awards at international film festivals, Hong Kong's talents are withering, and he himself can't compare...

Lin Nan and Liu Yifei stood in front of Shi Nansheng.

"She is indeed a beautiful girl."

Shi Nansheng smiled and whispered.

"thank you."

Lin Nan received the certificate, and Liu Yifei received the solid gold olive branch trophy.

The certificates for film awards are different from those for individual awards.

This is sent to the movie and contains specific movie information, as well as the main creators.

For example, the certificate in Lin Nan's hand contains director, starring, and producer.

Okay, just three names in total.

Lin Nan holds two positions, director and male lead, Liu Yifei is producer and female lead, and there is also Liu Xiaoli.

As for Zhu Yawen, Cannes thinks that his role is a little too small and he is not good enough for a supporting role...

Just when the two were about to speak, Shi Nansheng stopped them and said that she had something to say.

She smiled and introduced to the people below: "They are the director and producer of "Star Luck", and they are also the male and female leads, and they are also a couple..."

People who gossip are not divided by nationality. As soon as Shi Nansheng finished speaking, there was a burst of applause at the scene.

There are always more people who bless beautiful things.

At this moment, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei are very satisfied, and the Jury Award is enough!

…………

When giving his acceptance speech, Lin Nan didn't know what he was thinking. His brain suddenly pulled and he said that he would come to Cannes again in the future. He wanted the Palme d'Or...

This made everyone burst into louder applause, and even Liu Yifei covered her mouth and laughed non-stop.

Back to the seat.

Liu Yifei happily embraced the trophy and certificate, saying, "I will keep them safe in the future."

How could Lin Nan not know what Liu Yifei was thinking?

Poor me, one golden lion and two silver bears, now all of them are with Liu Yifei. Well, they will soon have another friend!

Lin Nan and Liu Yifei no longer care who the Palme d'Or was awarded to...

At this time, it was already two o'clock in the morning in China.

"The Fault in Our Stars won the Grand Jury Award!"

"Liu Yifei's mother won the Best Supporting Actress?!"

...

The night shift employees of major news websites and portals quickly started to get busy!

Regardless of whether anyone is online to read the news in the early morning, they have to update these latest information from the Cannes Film Festival as soon as possible.

This is big news!

The Cannes Film Festival does not distinguish between the main and supporting actor awards. (Only a few times are there main and supporting actor awards)

Both the main actor and the supporting actor can compete for the Best Actor Award.

I made special changes to this chapter...
