Chapter 232 After the reunion

The most important moment on the Cannes red carpet happened at the end.

Chu Qing took his girlfriend's hand, walked through the noisy central area, and arrived at the foot of the stairs of Lumiere's Movie Palace. It was much quieter, abandoning the star glitz and returning everything to the movie, full of a religious and traditional atmosphere.

He raised his eyes a little, followed the steps of more than twenty steps, and stood a tall and thin old man in front of the open door, with a kind look and a calm posture.

The crew stepped up, while the old man slowly descended, and the two sides met in the middle.

"Chu, welcome to Cannes!"

Gil Jacob, the chairman of the film festival, opened his arms and hugged each other enthusiastically.

He was quite grateful to Chu Qing because if a film festival wants to maintain long-term competitiveness, it must rely on the activity of young people. It was this young man from the East who brought a fresh flavor to this film festival, which was in a dull state.

Different from the gorgeousness of Hollywood stars, it is a very pure, very personal and very special feeling.

"Hello, Mr. Chairman! I am also honored to come to Cannes." Chu Qing finished the French greetings he had learned in advance and gave the space to his friends.

Jacob greeted Li Yu and the others for a moment, took a photo together, then climbed to the top of the steps together, turned around again, stood still, and accepted the photo...

This is the scenery of Cannes' highest pole, and every crew will experience a treatment. If there are old guys who are familiar with them, he will naturally recommend the rookies to Jacob, just like the entry ceremony of the newcomer.

The lights in the hall were soft and warm, subtly alleviating the irritation of some competitors, and greeting each other with a smile, at least that seems.

Several people followed the guidance and struggled to turn into the seat. The girls carefully grabbed their long skirts, for fear of being scratched.

"Are you going to the bathroom? You have to go quickly." Chu Qing asked his girlfriend before it started yet.

"If you don't go, I don't even drink my saliva." Mr. Fan shook his head, grabbed the back of the chair in front, and looked around curiously.

"Then are you hungry?"

"Hungry!" She looked aggrieved. In order to wear a dress and maintain her demeanor, she had never eaten anything since noon.

"Hey, did you bring food?" She suddenly remembered her all-around boyfriend who looked like a dormitory, and asked in anticipation.

"I just brought some candy." He really did, and reached out to take out a few pieces of fruit candy in his pocket and distributed it to the girls.

Mr. Fan first snatched a piece into his mouth. After sucking it a few times, he turned his head and said, "I'm from blueberry, where are yours?"

"I'm from Lemon." Zhang Jingchu whispered.

"I belong to Orange." Cheng Ying said.

"Uh, I'm from Durian." Li Yu looked bitter.

"Ah!" Mr. Fan hugged the two girls, far away from her, and was very disgusted.

It is said that sweets can replenish energy and relieve tension, but it seems that the effect is pretty good. A few people talked for a while, but no one mentioned winning the prize. The guests also sat one after another, buzzing and buzzing light up. When the lights slowly change, the curtain lights up and then quiet.

The award ceremony officially begins.

Jacob first went up to talk about the opening ceremony, and then the ten judges appeared together, reviewed, remembered, and looked forward, filled with high-end memes with European style. Only Cheng Ying could understand it, and nodded from time to time. She was alone and secretly felt so happy that her friends were despised.

After about half an hour, the nonsense ended.

The first award was awarded, called the Best Palme d'Or, a Japanese film. Maybe it was too excited, four or five people rushed up, and there was a row of English accents without curling tongues. It was awkward, and the audience also applauded politely.

In fact, celebrities don’t care about your process at all, or even most awards. They only focus on what they hope to get. So, don’t look at someone who looks like a person, and don’t know how to escape.

Chu Qing was so idle that he secretly pinched his girlfriend's little hands to play with it. The tender and smooth white onion poles could obviously rub the symmetrical skin, not as fleshy as before.

She has indeed lost weight.

The girl is no better than him. She is the first time she attended a party of this level, so she had no intention of doing anything else. She stared at the stage blankly until her fingers were inexplicably wet, and then she came back to her senses and turned to take a look.

OK, that guy was holding his little finger and biting it in his mouth.

"You are so stubborn!" She quickly retracted and roared in a low voice.

Chu Qing shrugged, covered her mouth and yawned, and looked around bored.

The award will be awarded here, called the Film Fund Youth Award, which is considered a support plan. There are four films won. There are only about ten awards in Cannes, so you don’t have to wait too long. After these trivial foreplays, the guests also cheered up.

Immediately afterwards, the third item came to the third item, and a handsome French guy appeared, saying Balabala on the stage.

"Hey, that's it!"

Cheng Ying half pulled her body over Mr. Fan and patted Chu Qing.

"What are you saying?" the girl wondered.

"This is the Golden Camera Award, we have hope of winning it," he explained.

The so-called golden camera is to award the best directorial debut at the film festival every year, and it is not limited to the competition unit. Chu Qing and Li Yu nailed their targets to it early on. To be realistic, it is like the Golden Palme d'Or, Silver Palme, so I don't bother to think about it at all.

"Then I asked you several times, why didn't you tell me?" The girl stopped doing it and started to turn over old accounts.

"Well……"

He glanced at Zhang Jingchu again. Although the girl had no words, her contemptuous eyes clearly showed her meaning, and then hesitated: "Aren't we afraid that you two are worried and there is pressure?"

As he said that, he pointed at Li Yu and whispered: "Look at her that way."

“…”

Everyone was speechless, okay, that crazy woman was so nervous that she could feel her body hard when she was two seats away from her.

Just as he was talking nonsense, he heard the guys on the stage finish nagging, slowly unpacking the envelope and said, "The one who won the Golden Camera Award at this Film Festival is

"fishandelephant"!"

“yes!”

“yes!”

“yes!”

Although the English title is very strange, it does not delay Cheng Ying's neural reaction speed.

The young girl in her early twenties waved her fist hard and exclaimed three times. She was not a member of the crew, but she had done a lot of effort on this trip and had already shared honors and disgrace. She was very excited for a moment when she heard about the gains.

The second is the two heroines, even if they are not as exaggerated as her, they can't help but hug them tightly.

As actors, many people are waiting for this moment, but they often have no hope for life. Of course, they are lucky to show their glory on such a big stage at a young age.

Only Chu Qing still remembers Li Yu, and pulled her arm and called out, "Wake up, it's time to go up!"

"Ah? Oh!"

Li Yu blinked, and there was a hint of trance. He probably hadn't restarted yet. He stood up stiffly, passed by his friend. He looked at the man sitting firmly and said in a daze: "Don't you go up?"

Chu Qing smiled and shook her head, gave up her place, stretched out her hand, and made a call.

Li Yu bit his lip and really wanted to suck.

This man has been fighting with him at the forefront, no matter how difficult it is, he has never given up. As a result, he has received the honor and has given up his hand. He suddenly feels so heartbroken that he dares to step on his feet.

She tried her best to walk slowly, slowly got on stage, took the trophy and certificate, and felt the heavy metal weight in her palm. She felt that at this moment, it was better to know it.

“Thank temptation!”

There were countless glories in the audience. She only stared at the small place and said, "I am honored. My first work came to Cannes and won this award."

"Thanks Wang Tong, you are so outstanding. I'm sorry that I didn't come."

"Thanks to Zhang Jingchu and Bingbing, you are also very good, and have given me a lot of inspiration and confidence."

"And Chu Qing, although you don't come up, I also want to tell you that you are my most co-produced work partner. Without you, there would be no such movie. Thank you!"

“…”

Chu Qing grinned, a little confused. Is this crazy woman sick? She suddenly became sensational for Mao?

Tsk! He shook his body and his arms were filled with goosebumps.

"Wow!"

The audience off the court naturally slapped.

With the quality of "This Summer", even though it is not as good as the Old Bird, it is absolutely fine to sweep among all the debut works.

To be honest, the Golden Camera Award is also considered a scrap material and cannot be used on a large scale, just to encourage newcomers. But from the beginning, Chu Qing and the others positioned themselves very low, and it was normal to get it. If you get it, you would be considered a profit, so there was nothing to be picky about.

...

At this film festival, "Piano Teacher" is undoubtedly the big winner, winning three silver palms in a row, including the male lead, female lead and jury awards. The highest honor of the Golden Palme drew by "The Son's Room".

As for the two popular Chinese films "The Name of Rose" and "What Times Over You", they only won the comforting technical award. Hou Hsiao-hsien was extremely depressed and did not attend the press conference.

The more unfair thing is Shu Qi.

She was praised by some unscrupulous media early on, and her words were firm, but the result was released and she was slapped in the face. The reporters didn't care, they were used to being honest, they could bend and stretch, and they began to mock him again.

It seems that people say they can win the Best Actress Award, but they are really shameless.

All three Chinese-language movies have won, which is considered a small victory.

After the meeting, Guan Jinpeng paid out of his own pocket and spent more than 20,000 francs to book a banquet at Pierrotier restaurant, and opened a bottle of tait champagne to eat and drink.

Shu Qi gave face and went with her crew.

Chu Qing was just surprised that this guy hadn't returned to Hong Kong yet and politely declined Aguan's kindness. Tonight, he should be with his friends.

Of course, poor dicks couldn't afford a luxurious restaurant, so I found a fast food restaurant on the side of the road, ordered fried chicken burgers, and huge pizza. Unfortunately, there was no wine.

Five people squeezed into a small table, full of food and emotions, and the trophy was placed next to it, flashing dazzlingly.

Cheng Ying and Fan Xiaoye are the main players in chatting, and they have been chatting endlessly. Li Yu probably hasn't recovered yet and has been silly happy. Even Zhang Jingchu's temperament will make a few words.

Chu Qing is only responsible for cutting pizza and wiping the corners of his girlfriend's mouth from time to time.

Until late at night, the number of customers in the store decreased, and the atmosphere at this table became stable.

As the girls were talking, they didn't know who they were from, and from which second they suddenly kept silent and became inexplicably quiet.

The experience in Cannes was really wonderful. The feeling of completing one thing together, overcoming difficulties together, and finally reaching the other side was very comfortable and fulfilling.

However, they all looked at Chu Qing...

After reunion, we always have to part. (To be continued...)
Chapter completed!
