Chapter 123 Things Start to Go Wrong
"A little bit, just a little bit!"

Liu Yifei felt the warmth coming from Gu Bei's palm, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly.

There was a hint of pride in her tone: "I was the only one on the red carpet. At that moment, I really felt like the world was focused on me!"

"I'll watch the replay when I get back."

Gu Bei felt a little sorry.

I didn't even appreciate the scene where Liu Yifei dominated the red carpet.
After the main screening of Whiplash, it has become a popular group at Cannes.
So the red carpet walk time was earlier, and they had finished walking the red carpet before the L'Oreal time.

"But Gong Li was the most domineering. For three whole minutes, the Cannes red carpet was prepared just for her."

Liu Yifei spoke of the scene just now with great excitement.

Gu Bei listened to her words with a smile.

This is only Gong Huang,

As the first spokesperson for L'Oreal in China,
The two sides have collaborated for 27 years, and Gong Li has attended Cannes 20 times. Coming here feels like coming home.

During the conversation between two people,
The awards ceremony of the 60th Cannes International Film Festival officially began.

The first award presented was the Golden Camera Award.

The target is the first feature film of a director screened in Cannes, with the aim of encouraging the director to continue making feature films.

It includes not only the main competition unit, but also all official selection units, Directors' Fortnight unit and Film Critics unit.

In February of this year, Martin Scorsese, who had just won the Best Director and Best Picture awards for "The Departed",

As the award presenter, he smiled after opening the envelope:
“Without a doubt, the winner of this year’s Caméra d’Or should be the person everyone here thinks deserves the award!

After watching his movies, I couldn't imagine that such a mature work was created by a 20-year-old director.

Let us congratulate him—Gu Bei from Whiplash! "

Gu Bei: ???
He has subconsciously ignored the Golden Camera Award.

The goal has always been to focus on the four major awards, and even the special award for the 60th anniversary of Cannes was not taken seriously.

The Cannes jury...are they going to use this Golden Camera Award to get rid of themselves?
Gu Bei collected his thoughts.
In front of the camera that turned around,

He stood up, straightened his clothes, smiled slightly, and walked onto the stage.

“I’m very happy to receive this award.”

Gu Bei took the certificate and looked at the box in front of him. Inside was a golden camera. "To be honest, I'm a little surprised.
I originally expected my name to be called a little later."

There was a burst of laughter from the audience.

Obviously, everyone can hear that Gu Bei’s goal is not the Golden Camera Award.

"but……

I want to tell anyone who wants to be a director,
Please go and shoot your first work, whether it is a feature film or a short film,
Start preparing now, maybe you will be the next one standing here.
There is still a dream, what if it comes true?

Thanks! "

……

Kyoto.

Due to the time difference, it is already early morning here.

Han Jianu slowly opened the door with the key and then tiptoed into the house.

Just as she was about to slowly close the door.

"Snapped!"

The entrance light was turned on.

Han Jianu turned around and found Han Sanpin staring at her with a frown: "Why are you back so late?"

Han Jianu smiled awkwardly: "I played outside late, and the school dormitory was probably closed, so I came home."

After a pause, she quickly changed the subject: "Dad, you haven't slept yet?"

"Watching the Cannes Awards Ceremony!"

Han Sanpin glanced at her and said nothing more, "Be quiet, don't wake up your mother!"

Han Jianu immediately breathed a sigh of relief. She quickly packed up her shoes, turned off the light in the entrance hall, and sat on the sofa next to Han Sanpin.

She happened to hear Gu Bei's acceptance speech, but she noticed Han Sanpin frowning, "Dad, didn't you win the award? Why do you still look unhappy?"

"Alas..." Han Sanpin sighed.

He looked at Gu Bei on the TV and explained softly, "There are only a few awards in Cannes, and there are only nine awards in the main competition. It's impossible for the Cannes jury to give all the awards to one movie, right?"

After a pause, his brow furrowed even deeper: "Gu Bei's Whiplash was a big hit at Cannes.

Now that I've won a small award like the Golden Camera, it's going to be much harder to win a bigger award!"

"what?"

After Han Jianu understood, she immediately frowned.

The father and daughter both frowned and continued to watch the award ceremony.

……

Cannes.

Gu Beijiang just won the Golden Camera Award,
Share it with the rest of the Whiplash crew.

When Liu Yifei received the award box, she almost fell down.
Only then did she realize that the trophy inside was completely still: "The trophy is stored so securely!"

Gu Bei patted the royal blue Moroccan leather box that contained the trophy, "At the 01 Cannes Film Festival, Director Lars was so excited that he raised the trophy high and ended up throwing the newly-won Palme d'Or away on the spot.

From then on, the prize box had an added safety mechanism.”

Liu Yifei couldn't help laughing when she thought of that scene.

In the dim light of the cinema, she carefully examined the prize box: "This isn't gold!"

The golden camera inside is actually made of copper, not gold.

Gu Bei looked at the Golden Camera Award and said with a smile:

"If a golden camera this big were made of pure gold, it would probably weigh several times as much as the Palme d'Or!

However, both the Big Palme d'Or and the Small Palme d'Or for actors are made of 18K pure gold.

Even the trophy base is a real crystal base."

Liu Yifei immediately revealed a longing look: "I wonder if I will have a chance to win the Palme d'Or trophy for Best Actress at the Cannes Film Festival?"

“Of course there will be!”

Gu Bei's voice was not loud.
But Liu Yifei could clearly hear the firmness in his words.

Liu Yifei felt warm inside.
This feeling of always having someone believe in you gives people a full sense of security.

While the two were talking,

The Jury Award, one of the four major awards, has been announced.

A double yolk egg was rarely opened.

"Growing Up in Iran" and "Silent Sunshine" jointly won the Jury Prize.

And following closely,

The Best Actor Award.

“Oh, this result is really interesting!

While watching this movie, I felt like my soul was being beaten by a drumstick. I hope my children will never meet a mentor like you.

Let us congratulate him - J.K. Simmons of Whiplash! "

Amidst the enthusiastic applause,

J.K. Simmons stood up in surprise.

He first gave Gu Bei a hug before walking onto the stage.

Although J.K. Simmons plays a supporting role in the movie, his presence is no less than that of the protagonist Andrew, and is even stronger.

This Best Actor award is well deserved!

only……

When Gu Bei sat down, he looked at producer Qiao.

Both of them saw a hint of trouble in each other's eyes.

Whiplash won another award.
Things are starting to go in a bad direction!
