Diamond company shoots commercials, you shoot Titanic

After Chen Xiao sat down.

On the stage, the award presenter continued:"Now we will present the Grand Jury Award. The winner is Xavier Dolan for"It's Only the End of the World"》"

As soon as Chen Xiao sat down, the other six members of the crew couldn't help but smile and cast congratulatory glances at him.

It was just that the awards were being presented on the stage, so they couldn't say anything.

But in the hotel outside the venue, everyone in front of the projection felt like they were going to have a heart attack.

Oh my god, a movie won four awards in the main competition unit of Cannes.

There are only seven in total, and it's more than half!

This is the first time in the history of the Cannes film industry.

Director of photography Kapen wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said,"I, I came here to save the situation, but I didn't expect to take a plane. It's really with the right team, even a pig can take off."

The others were made to laugh and cry by him.

How can you scold yourself like this?

Kapa choked and said,"Can we prepare a celebration banquet?"

Fan Rilin looked at the projection, his eyes flashing with desire,"Wait a little longer, maybe……"

He didn't say anything else, but everyone had the same idea as him.

Palme d'Or!

One of the highest awards at international film festivals.

As a filmmaker, if I can win this award, I will have no regrets in my life!

In the picture on the wall.

The winner of the Grand Jury Award walked down the podium.

The host shook his long hair and said with an elegant smile:"The exciting moment has finally arrived. Now please invite the chairman of the jury to present the Palme d'Or."

The chairman with white curly hair walked to the front of the stage and slowly said:

"As we all know, the film festival screens the main competition films many times."

"When the jury watched the film for the first time, one third of them shed tears. When they watched it for the second time, all of them had tears in their eyes. We were moved not only by the love in the film, but also by the humanity."

"This film also reminds us of the thousands of victims who sank to the bottom of the sea a hundred years ago, and commemorates our lost compatriots. It also serves as a wake-up call for major manufacturing industries with its realistic death scenes.

The chairman paused for two seconds and continued,"This year’s Palme d’Or winner is——《Titanic》"

After listening to the long list of comments from the jury chairman, everyone stood up and applauded loudly, regardless of whether they were convinced or not.

Grand music sounded in the venue.

Seven people stood up together, waved to the people around them, and walked onto the stage.

Chen Xiao shook hands with the award-giving committee, nodded to the guests, took the golden leaf-shaped trophy, and stood in front of the podium.

The other six people stood behind him.

Perhaps infected by the grand atmosphere, there were bursts of exclamations from the audience.

The applause lasted for a full half minute before it stopped.

Chen Xiao smiled lightly, lifted the trophy, put it on the table, and said into the microphone:

"Thank you to the crew, the producers, the distributors, the theaters, the film festivals, and all the audiences."

"Thank you all for your support and hard work, thank you!"

"The purpose of the Cannes Film Festival is to revitalize the film industry, and this is also our wish"

"Winning this award is not the end for us, but the beginning. We will work harder in the future to bring you better films and provide more ideas for colleagues in the industry."

"Thank you!"

These words made the six people nearby tremble in their hearts.

Especially Wang Zhan, who felt that he had reached the peak of his life, was sweating profusely and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Chen Xiao, don't take him with you.

He is already so old, and he is still at the starting point...

If the reporters ask him what kind of peak he plans to climb in the future, what will he say?

However, the others, especially the two young actors, were very excited by what he said.

A higher peak!

Yes, winning an award is recognition, but the essence is to make better movies.

So this award is not the end, but the starting point for moving forward!

After taking a group photo, the seven people returned to their seats in the envious eyes of everyone.

After a while, Wang Zhan whispered to the others:"We will have a press conference later. Everyone get ready, it will be over in half an hour. After it's over, our crew will celebrate internally and have a big dinner!"

Chen Xiao nodded.

He was always too lazy to deal with reporters, but he couldn't escape this time.

Let's go.

He looked down at the leaf-shaped trophy in his hand.

This should have belonged to"Farewell My Concubine".

Since it was won by Titanic, the first Oscar should be won by"Farewell My Concubine".

……

At the same time, as the news spread, the domestic film and television industry was like an earthquake.

People in the film and television industry were happy, envious, and regretful.

《Titanic", fans of the actors and directors were all in a frenzy. Fans in major cities such as Beijing and Shanghai even decided to hold large-scale celebrations.

Thousands of media professionals who were already asleep were woken up to work overtime and rush to finish their manuscripts.

The Internet was bustling.

In a residential area near the Ministry of Culture, Director Li was still quietly reading materials.

Suddenly, his cell phone rang, and he picked it up and saw that it was his secretary calling.

"Hello, Xiao He, what happened?"

"Si Si Si……"

There was a stuttering voice coming from the other side.

Director Li frowned.

What happened?

Was there a fire in the department?

He said in a deep voice,"Calm down, what happened?"

"clack clack……"

Hahaha?

He suddenly suspected that Xiao He had been drinking.

"Won an award at Cannes!"

Director Li's eyes lit up and he stood up instantly.

Won an award?!

That's great, domestic films haven't won an award at Cannes for a long time.

This is a happy event for the entire film and television industry. It will be of great benefit to their promotional videos.

The corners of his mouth rose, but his tone was very calm:"Xiao He, calm down. You are a public official, how can you be like this? Tell me, what award did you win?"

"Best Actor."

Director Li nodded.

He remembered the leading actor. He was good.

Chen Xiao was also good at training actors.……

"There are also Best Actress, Best Screenwriter, Best Director, and the Palme d'Or."

Director Li's smile froze and he blinked.

Then he sighed and said,"Xiao He, how long have you been a secretary? Why can't you stop talking nonsense? Don't tell me what awards I have, just tell me which one I won."

"That is, what I just said."

Li Zhiming: ?

That... a bunch?

It seems like I heard something beyond my cognition.

Li Zhiming sat up straight,"Tell me again, what did you take?"

"Except for the Grand Jury Prize and the Jury Award, he won all the awards in the main competition."

Li Zhiming took a deep breath and got goose bumps all over his body.

All, doesn't that include the Palme d'Or?!

Tonight, the film and television industry is going to be shaken!

A 23-year-old director who just debuted won his first Palme d'Or for his debut film... What kind of monster is this?

When the filming of"Farewell My Concubine" starts, he must go to the scene to see it in person!

"OK, I got it."

Li Zhiming said calmly and hung up the phone.

He immediately stood up, walked out of the study, and looked at his wife who was eating an apple and watching the live broadcast on the sofa.

"Wife, Titanic won five awards?"

"Yes"

"Come on, rewind the live broadcast so I can see the person receiving the award."

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed it!

……

In Cannes.

At half past ten, the crew finished the celebratory dinner on the third floor of the hotel.

Chen Xiao returned to the room to pick up his suitcase, said hello to Leo and the others, and took the elevator downstairs, ready to go to the airport to fly back home.

There is nothing to do here. If you go out, you will be surrounded by reporters, so you might as well go back quickly.

As soon as he walked into the lobby, Wang Zhan stopped him in disbelief,"You don't want to sleep before you leave? Do you think you are Superman?"

"I bought a first-class suite, so sleeping is no problem."

The suite has a bed, a TV, and even a dedicated bathroom.

The flight lasts 7 hours, just enough time for a nap.

Wang Zhan frowned and looked at him, then nodded slowly,"That's good, you really work hard. Let's go, have a good trip.""

"Well, goodbye, Mr. Wang."

Wang Zhan looked at Chen Xiao's back, and a feeling of envy surged in his heart.

Being young is good.

Unlike him, he is old and can't fight hard.

However, when he was young, he didn't work as hard as Chen Xiao.

Oh, he really worked hard!

No wonder he is so successful at such a young age.
