Chapter 182 It Would Be Rude to Let Him Run Away Again (Please Give Me a Monthly Ticket)
"The winner of the Grand Jury Prize is... Matteo Garrone's "Reality Show" from Italy"
Hearing the host slowly read out the name, Gu Zhongyu and Guo Fan were a little dejected. If they didn't get this award, they would have no chance of winning it later. Even if the Golden Palm Award was thrown into the water, it would never be awarded to a science fiction film.
"And..."
The female host read out a new name again. This actually opened another double yolk egg?
"And Guo Fan's "Ball Lightning" is from China. Let us congratulate the winner."
When Guo Fan heard the name "Ball Lightning", he stood up from his seat excitedly like a conditioned reflex. After reacting, he came up with a quick idea and gave a celebratory hug to Gu Zhongyu who stood up later.
Yang Mi was also very excited, and the three of them hugged each other.
It is rare for a Chinese-language film to win the Grand Jury Prize. This is definitely not just as simple as the excellent quality of the film. The judges should still have some other considerations.
Thinking of this, Gu Zhongyu looked at Shariz sitting in the jury seat.
Sure enough, Salize was also looking at him at this time, and blinked her eyes funny.
It seems that this elder sister has contributed to it. I don’t know if this is considered as a backdoor, bribing the judges?
Uh... it shouldn’t be. The current relationship between the two is still pure, so this is still a fair film festival selection, and there is absolutely no shady deal in it!
Guo Fan was so excited that tears were about to come out, and said, "Let’s go up together."
The three of them walked to the stage to receive the trophy and certificate. Guo Fan began to give his acceptance speech: "First of all, thank all the colleagues in the "Ball Lightning" crew. It is your hard work that made this movie. At the same time, thank the judges of the Cannes Film Festival..."
Fan Binbin looked at Yang Mi on the stage with some jealousy. If she knew that a science fiction film could win a big prize in Cannes, she would not miss this opportunity even if she was paid nothing!
Yang Mi’s heroine should be hers, and she should be standing next to Gu Zhongyu at this time.
It seems that I need to pull Yang Mi, the woman, into the group. Everyone should try to avoid internal competition, put aside disputes, and jointly develop Gu Zhongyu!

After the award ceremony, it was the Cannes dinner. Many people in the circle who attended the banquet came and went, holding their glasses and communicating frequently.
These foreigners were also very interested in them who had just won the Jury Award. Many people came up to talk to them. Gu Zhongyu was too lazy to socialize with these people, so he let the director Guo Fan take it all.
Yang Mi wanted to show off, but her foreign language level was worrying, so she could only smile and nod and drink beside her. Fan Binbin was in a hurry to go back to film, and flew away after the award ceremony.
"Hi! Congratulations, Gu, your movie won the Jury Award for the first time it was shortlisted in Cannes, which makes me envious." Little Leo also appeared at this time to express his congratulations to Gu Zhongyu.
Shariz came over with a goblet in her hand and said, "Leonardo, I'm afraid you envy not the Jury Award in Cannes, but the Oscar statuette, right?"
"Haha! You're right."
After so many years in the industry, Leo's career has reached a bottleneck. Kate Winslet, the heroine who co-starred with him in "Titanic", has won the Oscar for Best Actress, but he has only been nominated so far, which makes him very anxious.
So over the years, he has not taken on many commercial films, but has plunged into feature films and biopics, and he must win an Oscar for Best Actor!
"I believe you can definitely win the Oscar, you have the ability, Leo." Gu Zhongyu knew that in four years, Leonardo would win the Oscar for Best Actor with "The Revenant".
"Thank you for your blessing, my friend, but I don't know how long I have to wait."
Suddenly, Xiao Lizi seemed to have found a new prey at the banquet that moved him. It was not unreasonable for this buddy to be friends with Gu Zhongyu. Even in such an occasion, he would not forget to hunt for beauty, so he left the two to pursue their targets on their own.
In the following time, Gu Zhongyu and Shariz ran to a corner to chat.
In fact, the two people have only known each other for a few days. And Shariz is several years older than Gu Zhongyu, but it does not affect the two people's first sight.
Sha Liz, who has just suffered a setback in her love life, is also very happy to open her heart to Gu Zhongyu.
After chatting for a while, Gu Zhongyu asked the question he wanted to ask the most: "For the film to win the award this time, I think we should thank you the most, right? Judge Charlize Theron."
"Ha! You figured it out."
Gu Zhongyu shrugged: "It's not hard to guess. I only know you among the entire jury. If it weren't for your preference, I think it would be difficult for those old men to vote for our film, unless I was a hot blonde!"
"You don't have to thank me too much. Lobbying other judges for your favorite movies is my normal job. I just simply like your movies. They can make me feel refreshed."
"Refreshing?"
Salize said happily: "Yes, refreshing. Hollywood movies are getting more and more boring now. I rarely receive satisfactory scripts myself. They are all empty and vulgar stories. Although your science fiction movies are lacking in production, the plot and core are much better than ordinary Hollywood movies!"
"Wow! I didn't expect you to approve of our movie so much. Well, it seems that I thought too much. I thought it was a beautiful judge lady who chose to support us because of an ambiguous relationship. It seems that I am being sentimental. "
Shalizi chuckled: "I will not have an affair with a man. For me, there are only two types of relationships with the opposite sex, those that have already happened and those that will never happen."
"Then I should be that type now?"
Shalizi pretended to be thinking and said: "It should be somewhere in between! After all, I am a judge at Cannes. If I have a casual relationship with a candidate, it will make my job unfair. "
"But now that the Cannes Awards are over, your work ends here."
"So? Do you want us to get better?"
The directness of Western women makes Gu Zhongyu, a man, feel a little overwhelmed, but the opportunity has been presented to him. It would be rude to let him go this time!
After looking at the people around him, they were chatting together in small groups, not paying much attention to their little corner. There were no reporters at the dinner, so Gu Zhongyu boldly grabbed Sha Liz's hand.
"follow me!"
Shalizi originally just wanted to have a blowjob, but she didn't expect that Gu Zhongyu really had the courage and didn't resist. She just let him catch her. The two of them dodged passers-by and came to a bathroom.
After confirming that no one was inside, Gu Zhongyu hung the under-repair sign outside the door at any time, then pulled Shalizi to the inner compartment and let her sit on the toilet.
"Now, let's see what our Ms. Theron can do!"

"Hey, where is Gu Zhongyu?" Yang Mi didn't pay attention, turned around and couldn't see Gu Zhongyu, so she asked Guo Fan who was discussing movies with someone.
"It seems that I don't know where I went with Salize."
Yang Mi immediately understood that these two people must not have done anything good. She originally planned to sacrifice herself tonight, but now, just eat yourself!
Hey guys, it’s the beginning of the month.
Smash your monthly tickets hard on Xiao Shitou!
Don’t pity me just because I’m a delicate flower!
