Volume 465 Another Female Acquaintance
The host on the stage introduced all the shortlisted films one by one, and along with their names were the highlights of each film frame by frame on the big screen.
Everyone in the auditorium looked at these familiar or unfamiliar pictures, and recalled the laughing or moving pictures at the film festival, and they couldn't help but concentrate.
Director Gus was wiping away his tears to cover up his nervousness, but Director Lou Ye was muttering funny words about the spirit of heaven and earth, and the imminent manifestation of Taishang Laojun.
But Qin Guan was sweating because of these two people who were both friends but competitors.
The music in the venue gradually stopped, and the lights seemed to dim a bit. All the eyes of the audience were focused on the thin piece of paper in the host's hand, and the microphone he picked up after reading it.
"The final winner of the Palme d'Or at the 56th Cannes Film Festival is: "Elephant""
As soon as the host finished speaking, Lou Ye collapsed his straight back, while Director Gus and Qin Guan jumped up from their seats.
It was another arrogant speech on stage, and the elephant is undoubtedly the biggest winner at this Cannes Film Festival. A film has only been nominated three times, but won three awards.
Applause, flowers, and colorful ribbons flying down all herald the perfect ending of this film festival. Of course, this is for the winners in the field.
But there are not a few people like Lou Ye who leave the stage with a bit of sadness and loneliness.
The celebration dinner directed by Gus was held together with a group of judges and big players in the film industry, but Qin Guan, who was leaving tomorrow, only showed up in the hotel before disappearing, and threw Sister Xue away in a very unscrupulous manner On the spot.
The telephone receiver in the hotel was beeping, and Qin Guan sat silently in the room holding the receiver of Missing.
'Kacha' the person on the other side picked up the phone, and the person on the other side spoke softly.
"it's me"
"Ok, I know"
"I won an award, Best Actor..."
"Well, I see, congratulations..."
Qin Guan smiled proudly here: "Did you hear what I said? Don't you think it's very handsome and moved?"
All the charm and faint happiness turned into a puff of smoke in Qin Guan's thick skin and dissipated in the air.
And Cong Nianwei didn't talk nonsense to the other side: "Come back tomorrow, I'm still in class..."
That's right, the time difference is six hours. It's dinner time here, and the afternoon class over there hasn't ended yet.
"I miss you…"
"Me too"
Finally, when he was saying goodbye, his boyfriend returned to a normal person.
And when Qin Guan here relaxed all his mind, he realized how boring this French night would be if he came back first.
'Bang bang bang' "Qin Guan, open the door, it's me!"
Lou Ye's voice came from outside the hotel room, and Qin Guan opened the door for him with a puzzled expression.
"How do you know I'm still in the room?"
"When you ran away impatiently, I was there too. Look who else I dragged here?"
Qin Guan responded to Lou Ye's voice and poked his head out of the room. Besides Zhang Ziyi, there was actually an actress, Li Bingbing.
"Oh, why are you here?"
Qin Guan, who is relatively familiar with Li Bingbing and has worked with him many times, made an exaggerated expression towards this sister.
"Hey! Have you never seen Purple Butterfly at all? I have a character in it!" Li Bingbing in the corridor thrust his waist into it, looking very good-looking.
Qin Guan shrank his head back, he really didn't look at it, not to mention that Li Bingbing was a small supporting role in it.
Speaking of this, Li Bingbing glanced at Lou Ye with a bit of resentment: "I thought you would win an award, but as soon as the work was over, you hurried to Cannes."
"I was thinking of having a celebration banquet and a movie discussion party, but in the end you got me empty-handed."
"God, why am I so untimely."
Li Bingbing, who is like a big girl in an alley in Beijing, often hangs out with Zhang Yang and Lou Ye, when he runs against this group of six-generation directors, he is simply powerless.
"And you, Qin Guan, won the Best Actor award. That's the title of Best Actor in Cannes! Why are you lying quietly in the hotel? It's not going to work. You have a treat tonight, and sister Li Bingbing is here for you Must please!"
have to! Was blackmailed.
In just ten minutes, Qin Guan dragged his shoes dejectedly and walked down the back street of the hotel in a set of sportswear.
In Cannes, France, a southern restaurant in the Suquette district is very famous.
There is one dish that is quite characteristic of the region: aioli.
During the entire film festival, Cannes councilor and mayor, Bernard Brochamp, invited all the judges to this restaurant for dinner.
According to Director Jiang Wen, after everyone finished eating, it tasted the same as in a Chinese dumpling restaurant, full of garlic.
When we got together to judge the film in the afternoon, the concept of the room was the same as that of the gas chamber, and even strong chewing gum couldn't cover it up.
As the people of the foodie country, the more restaurants like this, the more they can arouse everyone's interest.
At night in Cannes, because of the end of the film festival, there are bright lights everywhere, and the streets cleaned up by sweeping vehicles still smell of dust mixed with wet water vapor.
Li Bingbing praised Zhang Ziyi and Qin Guan's arms from left to right, and joked with director Lou Ye. The night in this Mediterranean city was surprisingly harmonious.
In the alley behind, a camera with a long gun suddenly protruded out, clicked twice covertly, and then retracted into the darkness.
"Here we are, here it is. As a frequent visitor to the film festival, Lou Ye found the location according to Jiang Wen's instructions."
"Mr. Lou, there is a reservation. All right, come with me."
Qin Guan didn't know until now that this meal was premeditated. When Li Bingbing was rushing here, Lou Ye dug a hole for him.
Qin Guan subconsciously looked at the decoration of the restaurant. Fortunately, it was a French family cuisine, so dangerous, not to eat traditional French court cuisine.
Everyone sat down, and Qin Guan let out a sigh of relief after seeing the menu. This is a new French menu, and finally there will be no bleeding.
If this is a traditional French menu, according to strict regulations, from the beginning of the frozen appetizer to the last dessert, there will be 13 dishes.
The new menu only requires a choice of 3-5 courses. The haughty French menu wouldn't have even a smidgen of English if it wasn't for tourism. (To be continued.)
