Chapter 138 The Third Kiss
Li Yang's words silenced everyone present.

Xia Yehe's eyes were slightly red. Wen Yongshan hugged her and looked at Chen Nuo with eyes full of flying pride.

Fan Binbing's expression changed, his eyes were blank, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Qi Yuntian suddenly smiled and said, "I suddenly remembered something my mother once said. She said that it doesn't matter whether an actor wins an award or not. What matters is that someone applauds your performance."

Chen Nuo glared at him unhappily and said, "Why are you here to join in the fun? Director Li, thank you for what you said just now. I am really touched. But I am actually just a young kid who has just started out and I don't know anything yet. I would like to ask you seniors to give me more guidance in the future."

Li Yang patted his shoulder heavily and said, "Besides, if you need any help in the future, just let me know. For example, if you invest in a movie someday and need an assistant director, I will definitely help you run errands. I, Li Yang, always keep my word."

Chen Nuo really can't bear to hear such words from a director who was nominated for the Best Film at the Golden Horse Awards and won the Berlin Silver Bear Award.

After a while, the reporter from Today's Movies arrived.

The young man, who was in his 30s, looked a little reluctant when he entered the hall, but as he approached, he walked briskly.

Li Yang didn't need to say much after that, people knew what it meant to have the hottest male actor in Cannes appear here in the past two days.

He asked six or seven questions, some of which had nothing to do with the play "Blind Mountain".

When Chen Nuo raised his objection, he did not explain but just said that it was all for the promotion of the movie and asked him to trust his expertise.

Okay, then believe it.

After Chen Nuo answered all the questions he could, the young reporter shook hands with Li Yang as he left, and said with a smile a French proverb: "Mr. Li, you found the cherry on the cake this time."

Several people were puzzled by what they heard.

Li Yang is well-educated and thinks this should be the icing on the cake.

However, according to Chinese custom, it should be called providing timely assistance.

The next day, Li Yang called Chen Nuo and was very excited because Today's Film moved his 2000 euro page to the third page, which was worth 2 euros.

In half a day, he received calls from more than a dozen film producers who wanted to watch the film. Five or six of them came either for Chen Nuo or for the film.

Li Yang's original words were: "This made him see the sunshine from the abyss of pitch black winter."

2006 5 Month 20 Day.

Chen Nuo and Janice Man went to see a Korean movie, "Secret Sunshine" directed by Lee Chang-dong, starring Jeon Do-yeon and Song Kang-ho.

Xia Yehe didn't follow along because she couldn't understand the English subtitles.

After watching it, Chen Nuo felt that these two people’s acting was really good.

The further you go on the acting path, the more you will realize that there are many people who are actually ahead of you, but you were too far away to see them.

He feels that Emma Stone's current acting skills are still a little lacking in ease compared to Jeon Do-yeon's already superb acting skills.

There are indeed many things worth learning from Song Kanghao.

After filming The Dark Knight, I really should go back to school and study hard.

Chen Nuo and Janice Man were walking on the streets of Cannes. It was already dark, but it was still a bit hot in Cannes at the end of May.

Chen Nuo was wearing a short-sleeved shirt and slippers, as if he had just come back from a walk at the vegetable market, but he had a hat on his head that covered half of his face.

Wen Yongshan took his arm, walked slowly, and suddenly asked: "Darling, can you teach me how to act?"

Chen Nuo was a little amused, "Why did you suddenly think of acting? Were you stimulated just now?"

Wen Yongshan shook his head and said, "Not just now, this time when I came to Cannes, I felt that my world suddenly became much bigger."

She raised the knuckle of her pinky finger and said, "When I was in Hong Kong, my world was only this big."

Then she spread her arms as if embracing the entire starry night sky, “But now, my world is so big!”

"I wanted to act before because I wanted to be famous and make money, but now, I also want to act well."

Chen Nuo smiled and said, "Don't want to make money anymore?"

Wen Yongshan laughed and said, "I want to, too. Do you agree?"

"OK, I agree."

Suddenly, Wen Yongshan saw a machine in a store on the street and immediately said, "Darling, wait for me here for a while."

Chen Nuo saw her run into the store and tinker with the machine, which is very popular all over the world today.

Afterwards, Janice Man came out, put the stickers she had just taken in Chen Nuo's hand, and smiled a little shyly.

At that moment, it was just like a water lotus swaying in the cool breeze.

Afterwards, she was a little afraid to face Chen Nuo's gaze, and took two quick steps forward, leaving him with her back.

Chen Nuo was a little confused and looked down at the sticker in his hand.

Oh, it turned out that she was making a triple gesture.

"Wow, you're from Hong Kong, but you know about 520?"

"Humph, don't underestimate me. My Mandarin is very good now. Didn't you hear that?"

"No, isn't it still the same? Read after me. z, c."

"zh...hate it!"

Chen Nuo, a native of Xichuan, can only bully Wen Yongshan because of his Mandarin.

……

……

The last day of Cannes is the closing ceremony and awards ceremony.

For the participating filmmakers, this is the most important day in the entire Cannes Film Festival.

There will also be a red carpet at the closing ceremony, but it will not be as solemn and grand as the opening ceremony.

Just like at the end of a dinner party, it’s a time for friends to chat and connect.

The superstars who came to join in the fun have all left. Apart from the jury members, the other participants in the closing ceremony were the various crews that entered the main competition unit and the award presenters.

Before getting on the car, Chen Nuo secretly asked Wang Jiawei who he voted for, whether he had a chance to win an award at the Blueberry Night, and how many awards he could win?

Wang Jiawei said that the jury's voting was anonymous throughout the entire process, and only the nine judges themselves knew who they voted for.

All he could say was that he didn't vote for Blueberry Nights.

Chen Nuo was skeptical.

It's fine if you, Wang Sunjing, act cool in movies, but you also act cool in real life? Do you really think you're safe?

The crew of "My Blueberry Nights" did not receive any special treatment this time and entered the venue a little bit to the back of the middle.

Among the three people, Wang Mojing took the lead. Emma Stone's dress this time was not as exaggerated as the one in the opening ceremony. It was a black fishtail skirt. However, the girl was young and she still looked graceful and elegant in it.

My Blueberry Nights was undoubtedly the most popular crew at the closing ceremony. Barely one of them.

They are welcomed not only by the media but also by ordinary movie fans.

After a premiere and a re-screening, many people came to see the Blueberry crew.

When Chen Nuo and Emma Stone passed by the autograph area, the foreign fans were very crazy, no less excited than the domestic fans.

"Chen! Can I shake your hand?"

"Emma! Sign me an autograph."

"Chen, Chen!"

Emma Stone seemed to really want to stop and sign autographs for those crazy, arm-raising, shouting fans.

However, Chen Nuo did not stop, but instead sped up his pace by three times more than usual. It could be said that he rushed onto the red carpet at lightning speed.

Emma Stone looked angry and amused, and said, "Chen, they are all your fans, you shouldn't treat them like this."

Chen Nuo said that you can go back and sign it by yourself, but I definitely won’t accompany you.

When he reached the media area, Chen Nuo stopped.

Although there were other crews on the red carpet at this time, there was no doubt that the most cameras were focused on him and Emma Stone.

Although Chen Nuo wanted to leave, Emma Stone refused to leave. The menstrual cramps she suffered at the opening ceremony caused her to miss the second half of the premiere, which was a huge loss in a sense. This was her only chance to make up for the loss.

Chen Nuo had no choice but to accompany her on the red carpet, be photographed by the media to their heart's content, and be greeted everywhere.

Gilles Jacobs later hosted the crew of My Blueberry Nights on the steps of the Palais des Festivals.

This old guy served as the general representative of the Cannes Film Festival from 1978 until he became the president of the festival in 2001. It can be said that he was the one who pushed Cannes to its current glory.

There was no need for Wang Jiawei to introduce him. Gil Jacob seemed to be very familiar with Chen Nuo. At least he pronounced "chen" very clearly, unlike the vague pronunciation of most foreigners.

But Gilles Jacob didn't say much to Chen Nuo. After a brief greeting, several people stood at the door of the Palais des Festivals and took a group photo.

This is an honor unique to films that enter the competition unit.

The noise of the red carpet and the flash lights of the media all faded away at this moment, and the Cannes Film Festival revealed its true colors.

That is, only truly good movies can leave their images together with their owners in front of this exquisite and magnificent movie palace for future generations to admire.

Entering the award ceremony area, the organizing committee arranged seats for the Blueberry Night crew in the middle left of the first row. Coincidentally, next to them was the "Secret Sunshine" crew from Simida.

The Koreans were quite polite. When they saw the Blueberry crew coming, they all stood up, bowed and shook hands.

Among them, Jeon Do-yeon, who speaks the best English, said a lot of flattering words to the three of them. It doesn't seem at all that she has any competitive relationship with Emma Stone.

In comparison, Emma Stone looked much more immature. Apart from saying thank you over and over, her expression was quite unnatural.

After sitting down, she specially picked a seat farthest away from Jeon Do-yeon and let Chen Nuo sit next to Jeon Do-yeon.

Jeon Do-yeon, who is in her 30s, was wearing a white dress. Her mature and beautiful charm was quite attractive. The key point was that Chen Nuo felt that this woman seemed to be interested in him.

But unfortunately, before Wen Yongshan and Xia Yehe left yesterday, they really squeezed him dry, and when Fan Binbing left this morning, it was almost the same. It can be said that he is now in absolute sage time.

What's more, no matter how much Chen Nuo admired her acting skills, this woman was now Emma Stone's biggest competitor, so he didn't turn his head in that direction after he sat down.

Jeon Do-yeon's face became a little stiff, and she turned around to talk to Lee Chang-dong and no longer looked over here.

At 8 o'clock in the evening, the award ceremony finally kicked off.

As usual, Gil Jacob gave a speech first. Then a handsome male host came on stage and performed a relaxed and humorous opening talk show, which caused laughter from time to time.

Chen Nuo laughed and clapped, noticing that whether it was Wang Sunglasses Emma, ​​Jeon Do-yeon, or Lee Chang-dong, they were all the same as him.

Clapping with a smile on his face.

It seemed that everyone in the room had mastered French without any instruction. After the ordeal of the French talk show, it was finally time for the awards ceremony. The first award was the Golden Camera Award, which is specially given to the debut film of a new director.

Two bearded men in their 30s won the awards. They jumped up to the stage with a few people and gave passionate speeches into the microphone.

Fortunately, this time the language was English, which finally gave me some relief.

The second award was the Special Jury Award, and this time it was shared by two films, which caused a lot of excitement on the award stage. The two crews even gave way to each other for a while in the order of speaking.

At the end, the director of the second movie cried his eyes out, and it was unclear whether he was sad or happy.

Although this is the second largest award at the Cannes Film Festival, winning this award means missing out on the Palme d'Or.

Then, it was time for the third award, Best Actor.

Wang Jiawei had taken numerous precautions before, but this was the first time that Chen Nuo attended the award ceremony in person.

When he was sitting in the audience and saw the award presenter walk out of the curtain, his heart beat faster.

Do I have a chance?
Although his screen time in the movie was a little shorter, his reputation is still pretty good.

Moreover, two of his own people, Wang Jiawei and Zhang Ziyi, are also on the jury, and even Bellucci is likely to stand on his side.

Is there still a chance?
When Chen Nuo was daydreaming, Wang Jiawei suddenly patted his hands.

At this moment, Chen Nuo felt very disappointed.

Because the consolation meaning of Wang Jiawei's action was too obvious. I'm afraid that his vote really didn't fall on him.

Sure enough, the next moment, Angelina Jolie, who was presenting the award for Best Actor, read out a very long and difficult-to-pronounce name.

It's not him.

However, although……

Well, it turned out that I was right not to prepare an acceptance speech.

There were low cries of surprise from the entire audience, and even a few people in the back row stood up and tiptoed to look over at the Blueberry crew.

Wang Jiawei, you are really pretentious, you are awesome. No wonder you got nothing in your previous life, it turns out you played the Kong Rong giving away his pears trick.

Chen Nuo still had a smile on his face. He clapped gracefully, turned his head and moved his lips slightly, as if he was saying something to Wang Jiawei.

Actually nothing is said, just an action is performed.

You have to do this.

At this time, the photographer on the scene almost put the camera into his face.

Although it's a bit annoying, but grace is also necessary.

The bearded man who won the award was obviously not the male protagonist in the film. He was extremely nervous when he walked onto the stage.

Because Andrei Zvyagintsev really didn't expect that his movie could snatch the Best Actor award from "My Blueberry Nights"!

Even his film's leading actor, Konstantin Laronikos, flew back to Russia the next day after watching the premiere of My Blueberry Nights.

According to him, staying would be a waste of time.

Who could have expected that there would be such a huge surprise gift package in the end.

Andrei Zvyagintsev was still wondering whether he would win the Best Director award one minute, and the next minute he walked up to the podium holding the Best Actor trophy.

The people in the audience looked at him as if he were a goblin, as if he had just stolen a large bag of gold coins from the Cannes treasury.

Andrei Zvyagintsev really couldn't stand it anymore, he said a few words quickly and left the stage.

The camera in front of Chen Nuo finally moved away, and Wang Jiawei asked in a low voice: "Are you okay, Nuozi?"

Chen Nuo's mood also recovered at this time, and he sighed, "It's okay."

Wang Jiawei said: "It will definitely be yours next time."

After winning the next award, Best Director, Chen Nuo returned the words to him.

"Director, it's okay. I'll definitely do it next time."

It’s hard to see Wang Jiawei’s expression behind his sunglasses, but the corners of his mouth are as stiff as a thousand-year-old mummy.

Chen Nuo didn't know whether Wang Mojing regretted it at this moment.

If he really didn't vote for Blueberry Nights at all just to show off, resulting in the Blueberry crew getting nothing in the end, the price of showing off might not be too high.

Maybe, it was really just that one vote that was missing, or maybe, the two previous awards were won by him!

Chen Nuo couldn't ask any more questions because the consecutive losses of the grand prize had caused the cameramen on the scene to set up camp next to them, ready to capture some shots that would increase the ratings.

The Best Screenplay Award was then presented to Faith Akin for his work "On the Other Side of Life".

Chen Nuo actually went to see this movie with Janice Man when he was free these days. He felt that the script was really a script. What was that in Blueberry Nights? It was like a low-profile version of Haruki Murakami's novel.

After the Best Screenplay award was presented, it was time for another highlight, the Best Actress award.

Chen Nuo noticed from the corner of his eye that Jeon Do-yeon beside him had her hands clenched tightly together. Even though she still had a smile on her face, her whole body was actually stiff.

Emma Stone was so nervous that her eyes were wide open and she was muttering to herself.

"The winner of the Best Actress Award at the 60th Cannes Film Festival is Emma Stone for the film My Blueberry Nights."

When Monica Bellucci read this sentence on the stage, Chen Nuo and Wang Jiawei both jumped up.

Chen Nuo was very excited, Wang Jiawei was very excited, but Emma Stone sat in her chair like a fool for a moment.

When she finally stood up with her hands covering her mouth and tears streaming down her face, she first hugged Wang Jiawei.

When it was Chen Nuo's turn, the girl first hugged him normally.

The moment they separated, she suddenly hugged his head and gave him a kiss.

This is a big deal.

If this happened in China, Emma Stone's kiss would shock the entire audience and no one would know how to react. If this happened in the United States, this kiss would cause applause but not too much enthusiasm.

But this is in France, known as the most romantic country in the world.

Moreover, there is a term called French kiss, which shows how much people in this country like to kiss or watch others kiss.

The applause in the award hall instantly rose several steps. Whistles, cheers and screams were heard continuously. The explosive sound waves in the whole venue were like a category 9 hurricane, which almost blew off the ceiling of the Film Festival Palace.

According to the subsequent ratings statistics, the appearance of this scene raised the Cannes Awards Ceremony's instantaneous ratings by more than 10 percentage points.

I don’t know how many viewers were frantically changing channels after hearing the news.

For many fans who had watched "My Blueberry Nights" at the scene, this scene was like a dream.

This was Elizabeth and Jeremy's third kiss.

This kiss came from the movie into reality, so sweet and dreamy that it made every fan intoxicated.

They applauded enthusiastically and whispered to each other excitedly.

"My God, I bet this scene will be mentioned again and again in Cannes in the next 10 or 20 years."

"Oh, Elizabeth and Jeremy, they actually kissed in real life, I can't believe it."

"Perhaps this is God's compensation to Chen, making him lose a Best Actor trophy, but gaining an immortal picture that will be forever remembered in the history of the Cannes Film Festival."

"I think every actor would rather make such an exchange. The best actor is born every year, but a scene like this may only happen once in 100 years."

Emma Stone kissed Chen Nuo for about five seconds.

These five seconds are also the five seconds for the entire audience to stand up.

Afterwards, she walked up to the podium with tears in her eyes, gave Monica Bellucci a passionate hug, and received the Best Actress trophy.

At this time, her hands could be seen shaking in the camera.

Stimulated by the romantic scene just now, the applause in the hall slowly died down after more than 10 seconds, and the audience slowly returned to their seats.

Emma Stone began her speech: "Thank you, thank you Cannes jury, thank you director, thank you everyone in the crew..."

After an incoherent thank you at the beginning, she said affectionately: "Interviewing for "My Blueberry Nights" was the wisest decision I have ever made in my life, and being chosen by Wang to participate is the luckiest thing in my life."

"Finally, I want to thank one person in particular, he is the leading actor in the movie, Chen Nuo."

At this time, the official photographer of Cannes started to hit Chen Nuo in the face again.

But Chen Nuo was no longer paying attention to this at the moment.

When Emma Stone called out his name in fluent Chinese, he focused all his attention on her.

Chen Nuo could imagine that she must have practiced saying his name in Chinese very seriously for a long time to reach the top three level of Mandarin like she is now.

He looked at Emma Stone on the stage and was filled with admiration.

If it weren't for him, Emma Stone would have been silent for many years before slowly coming to the fore, and eventually winning the Academy Award for Best Actress for "La La Land", thus soaring to fame.

But now, she is only 18 years old and has won the Cannes Best Actress Award. What will her future be like?

Emma Stone also looked over at this time.

She and he, on and off the stage, looked into each other's eyes.

Emma Stone's dreamy blue eyes contain a light like the sea water.

She said, "Chen, I still remember that on the day you finished filming, you told me that you hoped I could win the Best Actress Award at the Cannes Film Festival."

"Chen, did you see that?"

Emma Stone raised the trophy in her hand and smiled at him like a pear blossom in the rain.

“I really got it.”

"This is what you brought me, and I will remember it all my life. Thank you, Chen, thank you for your teaching and dedication to me, and thank you for your comfort and encouragement."

"In my life, I have never received so many gifts from anyone except my parents. I don't even know how to express my gratitude to you in words."

"Chen, I just want to tell you that you will always be my closest friend and my family."

"No matter how long it has been, no matter where you are, I hope you will remember that there is an American girl who always thinks that you are her best actor."

"No matter when, no matter where, no matter what, as long as you need me, I will come to you."

"Thank you, thank you everyone!"

When Emma Stone picked up the Best Actress trophy, thanked her again, lifted her skirt, turned around and walked off the stage arm in arm with Monica Bellucci, the thousands of audience members in the award hall stood up again and applauded.
