Chapter 793 "I Do!"
"Brother Fei, I have negotiated a new movie in Cannes these past two days! Is this considered a good thing that comes in pairs? Hahaha!"
When he went to inform Zhu Yawen that they would attend the award ceremony together tomorrow afternoon, Chen Fei unexpectedly received a piece of news that made him quite unexpected.
"New play? What new play?"
Zhu Yawen scratched his head and roughly explained: "This drama is invested by Huayi, and its name is "Lu Yao Knows Ma Li". I play the second male lead, which is a very 'characteristic' character.
If nothing else happens, when the film is released, it should become one of my masterpieces. "
Hearing this, Chen Fei nodded approvingly: "You have a very good attitude. As an actor, the most important thing is the script and the role. Although the role and role are also important, they should not be the measure of a drama. standards.”
"Yeah, I think so too."
Zhu Yawen nodded slightly, but what he said immediately made Chen Fei frown suddenly.
"However, the structure of this drama is quite strange. Although it is invested by Huayi, Wanda's vice president is the producer, not Gu Changwei. Also, there is no Wanda among the investors. I don’t know what’s going on?”
Hearing this, Chen Fei suddenly remembered the day when he held the premiere of "The Worst Man in the World".
On his way back to the hotel with Liu Yifei, he happened to see Ye Ning and Wang Zhonglei walking out of the hotel, with their arms around each other, as if they were "good brothers".
"Could it be that...the two Wang brothers really reached some kind of agreement with Ye Ning?"
Chen Fei muttered, but felt a little sad in his heart. If it was as he guessed, the film industry would probably experience another wave of turmoil soon.
"What are you muttering about?"
Zhu Yawen moved slightly closer, trying to hear clearly what Chen Fei was saying.
"It's nothing. Just prepare your dress. Let's walk on the red carpet together tomorrow and prepare to attend the film festival award ceremony."
"Haha, okay, I will rest for a while when I go back this time. Jiani is about to give birth. I will go to film a new movie after spending time with her during the confinement period."
"Huh? Are you going to be a father now?"
"Haha, don't worry, the godfather's position is reserved for you."
…
The Cannes International Film Festival has officially come to an end, and it is also the most tense, exciting, exciting and exciting moment!
In the afternoon, the film festival program already listed detailed information about all the films shortlisted for the main competition unit.
Looking around, "The Worst Man in the World" is listed on the home page!
A large number of media and film critics have even made a wave of predictions about these movies. Looking at it, Chen Fei and "The Worst Man in the World" are undoubtedly one of the favorites to win the award.
Along with the tension and excitement, time has officially entered the 24th!
Early in the morning, the entire Cannes International Film Festival entered an extremely lively state.
Media, film practitioners, crew members, actors, stars and celebrities from all walks of life from all over the world have gathered. They are all eagerly looking forward to the upcoming closing ceremony red carpet.
In the hotel, Liu Yifei is still busy doing makeup.
The team of stylists and makeup artists placed the dresses, jewelry and other items that had been prepared on her body one by one, making her already bright and charming even more intellectual, generous and powerful!
Chen Fei and Zhu Yawen had already changed into suits and were sitting in the living room, waiting for Liu Yifei's makeup to be finished before setting off together.
With nothing to do, the two were having a heated discussion over a domestic entertainment headline.
"The cast of "Grand Trail" is quite strong!" Zhu Yawen clapped his fingers in surprise: "Fan Bingbing, Yang Mi, Wu Yifan, Chen Xuedong, Wang Yuan, Chen Weiting, Guo Caijie..."
Chen Fei crossed his legs and joked: "Isn't this normal? Can LeTV's investment be a small deal?"
Zhu Yawen was stunned for a moment and suddenly realized: "So, it is because of "Grand Trail" that Guo Jingming successfully obtained the qualification to invest in LeTV Pictures?"
After pondering for a moment, Chen Fei commented: "This should be regarded as a two-way rush."
With the announcement of the cast, "Grand Trail" has become one of the "models" in the field of film and television dramas that have become popular before they are broadcast.
However, Xiao Si is still very good at blowing, and sometimes he easily makes jokes when he blows.
When he shouted the slogan "Compared to "The Lord of the Rings"" at the press conference of "Legend of the Ring", he immediately set off a storm of ridicule on the Internet.
"This is a Hollywood blockbuster, what the hell are you?"
"Wait a minute, let me laugh for a while. Can "Legend of the Ring" be comparable to "Lord of the Rings"? Hahahahaha! I'm so happy!"
"No, Guo Xiaosi, can you stop flattering yourself? With your "Tiny Times" level, you still want to make a "Lord of the Rings" style? Are you kidding me internationally?"
Looking at these comments on the Internet, Fade Chen unconsciously raised the corners of his mouth.
He was suddenly curious. On the day "Grand Trail" is released, how will Guo Jingming defend the awesomeness he boasted about in the face of "judgment" from the entire Internet?
…
Near 3 o'clock in the afternoon, Liu Yifei's makeup application, which lasted for several hours, finally came to an end.
"Give me a piece of chocolate. I'll eat it when we get to the venue, otherwise I'll faint from hunger!" Liu Yifei ordered Chen Fei unceremoniously.
Zhu Yawen watched and laughed. After all, it was only at this time that Director Chen, who was respected and admired by thousands of people, would become a "little slave."
After packing the chocolates, Fade Chen immediately asked: "Are you ready? Can we set off?"
"Ok, let's go!"
Miss Liu raised her arms, and the watches and bracelets on her wrists, as well as the luxury accessories around her neck, ears, and body, suddenly made a "clack" sound, which was quite eye-catching.
Seeing this scene, Chen Fei was secretly glad that he didn't endorse so many products, otherwise those brand activities would have been a headache.
At the same time, just as they set off, the headlines and hot searches in the domestic film and television and entertainment circles began to refresh crazily.
"There is less than an hour left before the red carpet of the closing ceremony of the 68th Cannes International Film Festival. According to the on-site media, director Chen Fei, Liu Yifei and Zhu Yawen have already embarked on the journey to the red carpet of Cannes."
"Director Jia Zhangke and the crew of "Old Friends in Mountains and Rivers" have appeared at the red carpet waiting area. He expressed great anticipation for the upcoming awards ceremony."
"Hou Xiaoxian, Shu Qi and others have already departed from the hotel. It is reported that many people from the "Assassin Nie Yinniang" crew seem to have returned to Bay Area this morning and will not attend the awards ceremony. The reason is still unknown."
…
In addition to the much-anticipated awards ceremony, the red carpet at the closing ceremony of the film festival is undoubtedly the most dazzling scenery.
As the red carpet ceremony begins, domestic news websites and official media have set up equipment to deliver every wonderful moment to global audiences in the form of graphic and text live broadcasts.
Tourists, media reporters, fans and movie fans who came from all directions were also very enthusiastic. Their cameras were pointed at the red carpet, waiting for the appearance of each "international superstar".
As a director who has repeatedly achieved success at international film festivals, Chen Fei has already become the focus of everyone's attention.
His works transcend cultural and language barriers and are not only deeply loved by domestic audiences, but have also won high praise on the international stage.
Therefore, when he opened the car door and stepped onto the red carpet, everyone's eyes were focused on him, as if he was the most dazzling star!
However, when he got off the car, Chen Fei did not move forward immediately. Instead, he turned to look behind him and asked softly: "Sissi, are you ready?"
In the car, Liu Yifei nodded knowingly and responded: "Well, everything is ready."
Immediately afterwards, a slender arm appeared in the lenses and eyes of all the media, reporters, and audiences.
The next second, Liu Yifei's hand was seen reaching out from the car door and gently placing it on Chen Fei's hand.
The two of them stood on the glittering red carpet together, causing cheers to burst out from all around!
"If I had known, I would have walked the red carpet by myself. Isn't this idle? Come over and be a light bulb..." Zhu Yawen also walked out of the car, but very few people paid attention to him at the scene.
In other words, the domestic media still gave him some face, specifically calling him to stop and taking a few photos of him alone.
After all, he is also a top-level actor in the country, but he has not completely reduced himself to the point of becoming a little transparent!
Entering the venue, under the guidance of the staff, Chen Fei, Liu Yifei, and Zhu Yawen came to the middle of the second row.
Directly in front of the three of them is the camera set up by the organizer. The lineup is very good and the face is given very well.
"Are you nervous?"
Chen Fei looked sideways at Liu Yifei, paying attention to her condition.
"It's okay." Miss Liu replied in a serious manner, but her hands were tightly holding the hem of her skirt.
Chen Fei smiled, reached out and took her little hand, held it tightly in his hand, and said softly: "Don't worry, I'm here."
"Damn it, I'm so convinced. This is an awards ceremony! Can you two stop being so annoying!?" Zhu Yawen was speechless. If it weren't for the wrong occasion, he was even ready to get up and leave.
Liu Yifei was immediately amused by his appearance and started laughing, and most of her nervousness was successfully dissipated.
At this time, the jury came on stage.
The Coen brothers, as presidents of this year's Cannes Film Festival, began to speak.
"Welcome filmmakers from all over the world to gather at the 68th Cannes International Film Festival Awards Ceremony.
After more than ten days of selection, tonight we will announce the winners of this year’s Cannes Film Festival, please wait and see..."
Hearing this, everyone at the scene held their breath and stared at the stage one by one.
The first to be announced is the "One Attention Unit" award.
Directors from Iceland, Little Days, India, and Iran received awards respectively, and happily came off the stage to share the joy with the members of their respective crews.
Then comes the official start of the main competition unit.
"Chen Fei?" Liu Yifei's hands suddenly tightened a little.
"Relax, don't be nervous..."
On the stage, the first grand prize was announced.
"Best Screenplay: Michel Frank, "Chronic."
A Mexican director stood up suddenly and was so excited that he burst into tears!
Immediately afterwards, two more awards were announced one by one.
"Camera d'Or for Best Debut Feature: "Earth and Shadows."
"Best Short Film Palme d'Or: Ely Dagher's '98'."
In less than 15 minutes, three key grand prizes had been awarded, and then came the real grand prize awarding session.
Chen Fei could clearly notice that there were even fine beads of sweat overflowing from Liu Yifei's palms, which were very wet and slippery!
After working hard for so long, she really wants to prove herself!
On the stage, Sophie Marceau opened the envelope and read solemnly: "The winner of the Best Actress Award at the 68th Cannes International Film Festival is... Crystal Liu Yifei, "The Worst Person in the World"."
The clear voice echoed in the venue, attracting the attention and amazement of many people!
"Ah! She really won the award!"
Liu Yifei stood up suddenly and looked at the stage in disbelief.
At this moment, a big stone in Chen Fei's heart finally fell to the ground.
He loosened his hand holding Liu Yifei, stood up and hugged her, and whispered in her ear: "My queen, go up and receive the award."
Many female stars around cast envious eyes at Liu Yifei.
After all, this is the Cannes Best Actress, the gold content is great!
Looking around, there are only 67 in the world, and Liu Yifei is the 68th.
As for China, there is only Zhang Manyu at present, which shows how difficult it is to get this Cannes Best Actress Award.
"Director Chen actually brought out a Cannes Best Actress?!" Shu Qi muttered in the crew of "The Assassin", unable to hide his inner shock.
"His film has a lot of advantages, and it fits the style that European and American directors like very well. It's not surprising that he won a Best Actress."
Hou Xiaoxian commented out loud, and inexplicably lamented in his heart, because he...did not receive a call from the organizer of the Cannes Film Festival.
However, at this moment, a violent noise suddenly sounded in the venue!
The guests at the scene looked together and saw that before Liu Yifei went on stage to receive the award, she kissed Chen Fei heavily on the mouth in public!
Zhu Yawen crossed his legs and muttered happily: "This is going to go viral in China!"
There were many domestic media at the award ceremony. Before Liu Yifei walked on stage, the photo had already appeared on Weibo.
As expected, the Internet immediately started to quarrel!
"What the hell? What the hell! What the hell?!"
"What's going on? How did they kiss?"
"Oh my god, is it possible? My little dragon girl is actually in love?"
"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible! I guess my Sissi is too excited, so this is the case!"
"Haha, I always thought they could be together, and sure enough, I guessed it right, hahaha!"
"At 28 years old, it's time to fall in love... Woohoo, my youth!"
"I don't believe it, I don't believe it, it's impossible for her, unless I see them officially announce it, otherwise I absolutely don't believe it, which successful actress would publicly announce her relationship before the age of 30? Isn't this cutting off her own path?"
...
Cannes, awards ceremony.
After receiving the trophy handed over by Sophie Marceau, Liu Yifei shed tears again with excitement.
"Thank you very much for the recognition of the jury. I really didn't expect that I could get such a prestigious trophy... In the days to come, I will not disappoint the expectations of my fans and moviegoers, and strive to make more and better excellent works.
Finally, I would like to thank Director Chen Fei. Without him, I would not be able to stand here today and hold such a valuable trophy. Thank you, thank you for everything you have done for me..."
The camera suddenly turned to the audience, and Chen Fei was smiling and looking at Liu Yifei on the stage with a doting look.
"Hey? My former colleague, now you have become the boss's wife?"
Zhang Yi's words made Jia Zhangke and everyone in the "Mountains May Depart" crew laugh out loud.
After the acceptance speech, Liu Yifei happily walked off the stage holding the trophy.
Zhu Yawen wanted to borrow it to watch it, but was rejected by Liu Yifei, which made him look depressed.
Because Chen Fei was the male lead of the movie, his name also appeared in the subsequent nominations for Best Actor.
However, the final winner of this award was a French actor.
Liu Yifei came over and whispered: "There are still 4 awards. Will there be one for you?"
"Who knows?"
Chen Fei shrugged, not particularly concerned.
He had already achieved his wish of helping Liu Yifei win the Best Actress Award. As for whether there would be other awards next, it was not very important to him.
"Best Director Award, winner: Jia Zhangke "Mountains May Depart"!"
As soon as the voice fell, Chen Fei slowly turned his head and saw Jia Zhangke and a group of actors from the "Mountains May Depart" crew instantly stagnated at the scene, their faces full of disbelief!
At this time, many filmmakers at the scene spontaneously applauded him.
From the Cannes Best Screenwriter Award to today's Best Director Award, Lao Jia has been on the road for 13 years, spanning 13 Cannes Film Festivals, which is also extremely difficult.
…
"Jury Prize winner: Yorgos Lanthimos, The Lobster."
Soon, another big award was announced, and the director from Greece successfully won the award.
Fai Chen played with Liu Yifei's little hand, and felt the slippery feeling reappear. It was very familiar and made him look forward to tonight.
He was not nervous at all, but Liu Yifei was very nervous. Her watery eyes stared at the podium, and her mouth kept opening and closing, as if she was praying for Fei Chen.
More than ten minutes later, another big award was announced.
"The winner of the Jury Prize at the 68th Cannes International Film Festival is: Laszlo Gerais' "Son of Saul""
At this point, the awards ceremony of this year's Cannes Film Festival has officially come to an end.
Jia Zhangke, who had calmed down his excitement, looked at Chen Fei and whispered: "What's going on? Did he only win a Best Actress trophy tonight through public relations?"
Zhang Yi on the side blinked in confusion and did not reply. He just stared at the podium.
Shu Qi was also chatting with Hou Xiaoxian at this time: "Director Hou, do you think Chen Fei still has hope?"
"It's hard to say."
Hou Xiaoxian shook his head, frowning slightly, and was already thinking about other things.
"Assassin Nie Yinniang" failed to produce any results this time. After returning to Wanwan, another wave of public opinion was inevitable.
"Why don't we continue to work on this year's Golden Horse Awards..."
At this moment, the Coen brothers walked onto the podium.
The top awards at the three major film festivals have always been awarded by the jury presidents.
"I am very happy to be the president of the jury of this year's Cannes Film Festival. Next, our two brothers will present the Palme d'Or..."
"Best Film Palme d'Or, winner: Chen Fei, "The Worst Man in the World", congratulations!"
Um? ? ?
Chen Fei stopped moving his hands and looked at the stage in surprise.
He never expected that while receiving the Best Actress trophy, there would be such a grand prize waiting for him here!
"Hey guys, two grand prizes? One for Best Actress and one for Palme d'Or. This is so crazy! We were taken directly to take off!"
Zhu Yawen looked surprised. This role was so worthwhile.
From now on, this movie will be one of his masterpieces, and it can still be ranked at the top, even if he only played the second male lead in it!
With the warm applause, everyone in the audience looked over.
Chen Fei stood up, hugged Liu Yifei gently, and received another sweet kiss from Miss Liu.
As he walked toward the stage, he quickly adjusted his original plan.
At first, he was planning to announce the incident in front of the media, but now it seems that God is helping him.
If that's the case, then just go with the flow!
Stepping onto the podium and receiving the Palme d'Or trophy engraved with golden palm leaves from the Coen brothers, Chen Fei stepped forward and stood in front of the microphone.
This time, he did not follow common sense and say something to thank the organizer or the judges.
Under the gaze of everyone present, he fixed his gaze on Liu Yifei's position in the audience.
At this time, Miss Liu was smiling, her eyes were slightly red, and she was looking at him lovingly.
…
"In the movie "The Worst Man in the World," the heroine has experienced many setbacks and hardships, but she still persists in herself and bravely pursues her dreams.
The same is true for the girl I like. Very early on, she was hurt by countless rumors and endured a lot of suffering and pain.
She once told me that she would cry bitterly late at night, and would be too scared to go online or pay attention to any entertainment news.
But even so, no matter what difficulties she faced, she was able to overcome them with tenacity and perseverance. She was always grateful and always had a shining and dazzling light in her eyes. "
At this moment, the cameras in the venue were divided into two groups.
One of them was aimed at Liu Yifei, who was holding the Best Actress trophy, laughing and crying, while the other was aimed at Chen Fei, who was confessing his love affectionately.
"On her birthday last year, I gave her a script to make her a unique heroine. This year, I have prepared the gift in advance, and now it is in my hands."
Liu Yifei, I want to announce to the world here that I like you! I like your beauty and wisdom, and even more like your tenacity and independence that are similar to the heroine in the movie.
I am willing to be a light in your life, accompany you through every difficult moment, and share your joys, sorrows, and joys. Please let me use my sincerity and warmth to protect your smile and accompany you in pursuing your dreams.
So, are you willing to accept this early birthday gift? "
I don’t know who shouted first. Suddenly, shouts of “promise him” and “promise him” rang out in the venue.
The next second, Liu Yifei stood up excitedly, handed the Best Actress trophy to Zhu Yawen beside her, and ran towards the stage with her skirt in hand.
She stood on the podium, took the Palme d'Or trophy from Chen Fei, and shouted into the microphone loudly:
"I do!"
