Chapter 340 Stranger

Cannes.

The awards ceremony is still going on.

Then comes the Best Film Award in the Focus Unit.

Zheng Shaoshuai looked at Zhang Sheng in front of him.

His expression seemed even colder.

He felt that Zhang Sheng was like a natural "liar" and "actor", which made him more and more disgusted.

It seemed that this was a person who won awards by "selling misery" and "shady dealings".

Just before Zhang Sheng went on stage, Zheng Shaoshuai received a piece of news.

In fact, before the [Cannes International Film Festival] review, there was no movie "7 Days to Die", but later, Zhang Sheng used some means to pull several judges into the cinema.

After those judges came out, the movie "7 Days to Die" was shortlisted!

It can be seen that this year's Best Screenwriter Award is so watery?

He originally wanted to use his disdain and some shady deals to calm his emotional fluctuations a little.

But...

He had to admit it.

When Zhang Sheng won the [Best Screenwriter], especially the [Best Screenwriter of the Cannes International Film Festival], his status in this circle would definitely rise.

The awards in the main competition unit, except for the highest award, the Palme d'Or, in 2002, which seemed to have overdrawn China's luck in Cannes, no Chinese people have won it again.

Although this time it was the [Best Screenplay Award], fourteen years later, a Chinese person won the main competition unit award again!

That kind of sensation...

This moment!

An emotion called jealousy kept lingering in his heart, and he couldn't get rid of it.

After a long time, he looked at the stage silently.

The Best Film Award in the attention unit was awarded to a Japanese film...

The Japanese director named Yamada Ryuichi walked up to the stage with a nod and a bow, kissed the trophy hard, and then wiped his tears while excitedly saying how difficult it was for him to win this award and enter Cannes, but it was obvious that perhaps it was Zhang Sheng's appearance that made everyone's emotional threshold reach an extremely high point, or maybe his acting skills were a little worse, and his ability to control the situation was also average...

It didn't have the expected effect, but the applause was still very warm.

The jealousy in Zheng Shaoshuai's heart finally disappeared, and then turned into a desire.

He stared at the screen!

He saw another award in the main competition unit, the Grand Jury Prize!

"Mountain City" was among them!

That was another award that his "Mountain City" had the greatest hope of winning.

Whether he could officially go international and become the most prestigious director among the six generations of directors depended on this award.

Zheng Shaoshuai saw a person walk out from behind the stage...

When he saw this person, his pupils shrank.

This person was Leon, the chairman of this year's Cannes!

When he walked to the stage, Zheng Shaoshuai's fingers trembled slightly.

Why did the chairman come out?

He...

Is the presenter of the Grand Jury Prize?

Wait, it seems that he was not on the previous list...

Is he going to announce something?

He stared at the stage closely!

Leon did not announce anything, but announced the next award with a smile.

In fact, the Jury Prize has been awarded before!

However, the previous award was the Jury Award of the Attention Unit, and this time it was the Jury Award of the Main Competition Unit. Although it is still not a heavyweight award, it is in the main competition unit after all, and the attention is still amazing.

Zheng Shaoshuai stared closely!

Then...

His pupils shrank!

Zheng Shaoshuai saw another ghost face!

Then...

He saw that "7 Days to Die" actually won the award again!

He stared at the big screen in disbelief, thinking that he had seen it wrong, or that he was crazy!

How could it be possible!

This!

"Congratulations to "7 Days to Die"!"

"..."

On the big screen.

The ghost face was hideous, mysterious, weird, and creepy.

On the stage under the big screen, Leon took out a small card and smiled.

At this moment...

The scene was in an uproar again!

Countless filmmakers stared at the creepy, long-haired ghost face on the screen in disbelief, and then looked in Leon's direction!

They never dreamed that "7 Days to Die" would win the award again!

What is this horror movie about?

Being nominated for Cannes, it has already broken the record in the history of horror films, winning two awards in a row!

What is this for?

After the uproar!

Some filmmakers in the back row suddenly cheered and shouted the name of the movie "7 Days to Die"!

It seemed like a victory!

The light shone on the face of director Bi Feiyu.

Bi Feiyu was shocked, stunned, and unbelievable. He didn't even stand up.

He felt like he was dreaming.

His emotions kept changing like a roller coaster in just a few minutes.

Shocked, unbelievable, confused, continued to be shocked, continued to be unbelievable...

On the stage.

"Congratulations to "7 Days to Die"!"

When Leon said the words "7 Days to Die" again, he stood up uncontrollably, like a piece of wood.

"Mr. Zhang, I, I, I..."

Bi Feiyu stuttered and repeatedly confirmed that the award was "7 Days to Die".

"Go on stage!"

"But, I..."

"Go on stage, receive the award, say whatever you want... don't be afraid of anything!"

"ah?"

"Go!"

"Mr. Zhang, you, come on stage to accept the award, I..."

"You go on stage to receive the award!"

"..."

Bi Feiyu trembled for a moment, then nodded suddenly and ran forward excitedly...

It seemed that the relationship was too tense, so he walked in the wrong direction, walked to the last row, and then ran into the crew of "Mountain City".

"Sorry, sorry, Director Zheng, I went to the wrong place, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

Marshal Zheng's face turned dark instantly, and his whole body was as cold as a cold stone. He finally calmed down, but showed a slightly twisted smile: "Director Bi, congratulations!"

Then……

He looked at the back of Bi Feiyu who ran onto the stage excitedly and clapped with everyone. But after the applause, his nails almost dug into his flesh and he was trembling continuously!

……………………

Ke Zhanyi sat outside Cannes.

He did not have an internal invitation, so he could only sit in the audience.

After he saw Zhang Sheng win the Best Screenplay Award at the [Cannes International Film Festival], he felt like something had stabbed him deep in his heart.

The pain was so painful that he couldn't breathe.

He gritted his teeth, their teeth chattering.

There was no hatred or jealousy, I just wanted to slap myself hard.

If he had continued on firmly, then this award should have been his, and he would have stood on the stage with everyone's attention, and then returned to China like a hero.

He saw Bi Feiyu on stage again!

Bi Feiyu appeared on the stage of the three major European film festivals, the Cannes International Film Festival, and gave an excited speech.

He's been to Berlin!

Then, came Cannes again.

The weight of the awards is getting higher and higher!

The thorn in his heart seemed to pierce deeper. Vaguely, he understood that he had missed one of the few opportunities in his life to reach the top!

envious……

Greater envy!

He saw Bi Feiyu walking down the stage the whole time, and then listened to the thunderous applause.

Countless shots and bright lights told Ke Zhanyi that tonight Zhang Sheng and Bi Feiyu are the biggest winners of the entire [Cannes International Film Festival]!

And him!

He is a little-known "little Chinese director". On his resume, except for two passable youth-themed movies, the rest are all bad.

The awards are still going on, and then there are the Best Director Award, Best Actress Award, Best Actor Award...

These have nothing to do with Chinese movies.

The heavyweight [Palm d'Or], the film "Mountain City" briefly appeared on the screen, was finally awarded to the Thai film "Summoning the Uncle from the Past Life".

Ke Zhanyi sat the whole time, feeling the beautiful noise and passion, but there was a sense of incompatible loneliness in his whole person.

The award ceremony is over.

Everyone is leaving one after another...

At the door, countless reporters swarmed over like swarms.

He saw Zhang Sheng and Bi Feiyu surrounded by reporters. Many reporters from China went crazy and kept asking Zhang Sheng how he felt at this moment.

Ke Zhanyi looked at Zhang Sheng.

Originally he should have left, but an inexplicable emotion controlled him, making him eager to chat with Zhang Sheng some more.

After all, he and Zhang Sheng didn’t break up with each other, and [Starlight Future] and Zhang Sheng’s [NC Entertainment] didn’t break up with each other either...

There are still opportunities for them to cooperate.

He finally arrived at the hotel.

He knew what hotel Zhang Sheng was staying in.

He waited until early in the morning before he saw Zhang Sheng walking over...

A smile appeared on his face instantly, and then he walked towards Zhang Sheng.

"Mr. Zhang, Director Bi, congratulations!"

"Ah, Director Ke, why are you here?"

"I came over to take a look at our "Seven Days to Die"."

"Ha ha……"

Zhang Sheng's expression was the same as before, very enthusiastic, and in his eyes, he felt close to Ke Zhanyi, and he did not look down on him because of the award.

Ke Zhanyi breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that everyone was the same as before and nothing had changed.

Just when he was about to have a good look and chat with Zhang Sheng, he heard Zhang Sheng's call.

"Sorry, Director Ke, I'll take a call."

"good!"

When Zhang Sheng picked up the phone to answer the call, Ke Zhanyi started chatting with Bi Feiyu again.

When Bi Feiyu saw Ke spreading his wings, he was also smiling, but his smile was more or less superficial: "Director Ke."

"Director Bi, congratulations. This time, you have really made a great contribution to our Chinese film industry!"

"..."

Ke Zhanyi originally had a lot of things to talk to Bi Feiyu, but after seeing Bi Feiyu's expression, he found that his words started to become a little weird without knowing when.

Bi Feiyu was still smiling, as if he was looking at a flattering person.

Then……

He finally fell silent and sat awkwardly aside.

Time passed little by little, and he saw some foreign directors suddenly arriving in the hotel.

After making the phone call, Zhang Sheng saw these foreign directors and walked over with a smile on his face.

When he came to Ke Zhanchi, Zhang Sheng paused: "Director Ke, I'm sorry, I wanted to have a good chat with you, but this year's [Southern California International Film Awards] invited some directors from overseas... How about, come with me to the room and let's talk about the [Southern California International Film Awards]?"

Ke Zhanchi's throat trembled.

After seeing Zhang Sheng's still sincere expression, he wanted to nod and agree.

He felt that Zhang Sheng was sincere.

However...

"Mr. Zhang, Director Ke is very busy, and we have signed agreements with these directors. It's not appropriate to take Director Ke there rashly..."

Bi Feiyu walked over subconsciously and then looked at Ke Zhanchi.

"Well, that's a bit regrettable. Well, Director Ke, let's make an appointment after returning to China to get together and see if there are any projects we can cooperate on..."

"Okay! Mr. Zhang, you go first..."

"Well, then I'll leave first."

Zhang Sheng continued to shake hands with him sincerely.

Then, he walked towards those foreign directors.

Ke Zhan Chi watched Zhang Sheng lead the directors upstairs.

Then...

He felt bad for a while.

(Today is still two chapters, there should be an extra chapter tomorrow!)
