Chinese entertainment director: I can wholesale Best Actress awards.

Global media reporters on both sides of the red carpet were already on high alert.

At this moment, Lu Chen led the cast of "Shoplifters" onto the red carpet.

The actors suppressed their excitement, knowing they couldn't get too excited or they would be overreacting. Instead, they showed pride, understanding that this would be the most glorious moment of their acting careers.

People like Yu Feihong, Fu Dalong, and Li Mingqi are all looking forward to winning a personal grand prize.

The Cannes Film Festival is different from regional film festivals.

There are only two awards for actors.

Best Actor and Best Actress awards.

There are no separate awards for male and female leads; generally, only the leading male and female actors in a film can win these awards.

"Director Lu, look here." Media reporters on both sides of the red carpet hoped that Lu Chen would look at them directly so they could take more photos. This new director from China has truly shone at this year's Cannes Film Festival.

It has attracted the attention of European audiences.

Freshmen in the Directing Department!

My debut work!

A critically acclaimed film from Cannes!

These words, taken together, naturally attract attention.

Moreover, the European public admires those who achieve fame at a young age.

Not to mention the world of directors, where it's virtually impossible to achieve fame at a young age.

This made Lu Chen even more dazzling.

Film Daily, Beijing Entertainment, NetEase Entertainment, and Beijing Weekly all reported on the scene and sent these articles back to China, where they were given front-page headlines.

This will allow domestic audiences to stay informed about events related to the Cannes Film Festival in real time.

They also translated and reprinted reviews of "Shoplifters" from foreign media and film critics.

For a time, the most talked-about figure in the local film and television industry was Lu Chen, a new director from Cannes.

After walking the red carpet.

Lu Chen looked at Liu Yan and asked curiously, "Why do you keep lifting the hem of your skirt?"

While walking the red carpet, Liu Yan kept lifting the hem of her skirt.

"Director Lu, this is a custom-made Chanel dress, worth over ten thousand yuan. If it gets damaged, I can't afford to pay for it." The dress Liu Yan wore to the Cannes Film Festival was provided free of charge by Chanel.

Handmade.

Another custom-made item.

It's worth over ten thousand.

Liu Yan had never worn such expensive clothes in her entire life.

With this money, you could buy a house in your hometown city.

"Don't worry, even if it's broken, there's no need to pay for it. Besides, it's inappropriate to lift up the hem of your skirt. This is Cannes, an international film festival, where we need to showcase the propriety and elegance of Eastern women." Lu Chen gestured for his hand to be lowered.

Liu Yan gently put it down, feeling that Director Lu was right. At this time, they couldn't be petty and embarrass Chinese actors on the international stage.

"Let's go, it's our turn to be interviewed." Lu Chen called out to all the actors, giving them a chance to shine, just like when he was a new director.

I'm very grateful to everyone for coming to support us.

In particular, Sister Fei Hong was one of the earliest to support it.

She stopped preparations for her directorial debut, "Love Comes Again," to focus on acting in "Shoplifters."

After the interview concluded, the banquet began.

The main creative teams of various films entered the Grand Theater.

The 59th Cannes Film Festival awards ceremony is about to begin.

Lu Chen, sitting in a chair, was chatting with Qianqian and Mimi on his phone.

The two girls were also talking about watching the Cannes awards ceremony live on Sina Weibo.

This year's Cannes awards ceremony.

Sina, a domestic internet company, has acquired the broadcasting rights in mainland China.

This was orchestrated by his uncle, Han Sanping, with the aim of getting more people in China to know him.

The greater the fame, the greater the box office appeal.

"Xiao Chen, I didn't expect you to be such a womanizer." Yu Feihong said softly. Seeing Lu Chen stunned and not understanding, she gestured to Liu Yan sitting on the other side.

"What's wrong, Sister Fei Hong? Are you jealous?" Lu Chen teased with a smile.

Yu Feihong rolled her eyes. "Why would I be jealous? When I was an adult, you were still wearing open-crotch pants. In my eyes, you'll always be a cute little brother."

"Is it really a little brother?"

"Isn't it..." Yu Feihong said, but then swallowed her words back. Now that Xiao Chen has grown up, everything about him has changed, and he is very different from when he was a child.

Lu Chen laughed when he saw Yu Feihong's expression.

"Stop laughing, the awards ceremony is about to begin." Yu Feihong gently nudged Lu Chen.

At this time.

Everyone's eyes were on the stage.

The awards ceremony officially began.

First, the awards for other categories were presented.

The main competition section is always the most watched and prestigious of the three major international competitions.

This year's Cannes Film Festival also includes the Un Certain Regard section, the Short Film section, and the FIPRESCI Prize section.

After these awards ceremony are over.

Now for the main event – ​​the awards ceremony for the main competition section.

A short while later.

The ceremony then moved on to the Best Actress award presentation.

Unlike regional film festivals, the three major international film festivals offer the possibility of a film winning any of their awards. In other words, any actress in a film that is nominated is a nominee.

Unlike regional film categories, there are usually only four or five nominees.

Yu Feihong was very nervous at this moment.

Cannes Film Festival Best Actress.

Who wouldn't want that?

Gong Li won the Best Actress Award at the Venice Film Festival for her role in "The Story of Qiu Ju," which solidified her status in the international film industry.

Because this is the highest stage in the film industry.

If she wins the award, she will be the second Chinese actress to win the Cannes Film Festival Best Actress award after Zhang Manyu for "Clean," and she will also be the first mainland Chinese actress to win the award.

At this moment, Zhang Ziyi, on the stage, and another Best Actress presenter were looking at the list in the envelope.

"Best Actress Award, 59th Cannes Film Festival," Zhang Ziyi announced alongside another presenter, "Yu Feihong, *Shoplifters*."

They were speaking French.

In order to pronounce correctly at the awards ceremony.

Zhang Ziyi specifically learned French.

At that moment, a beam of light from the Grand Theater shone on Yu Feihong.

A French symphony orchestra was present, and as the lineup was announced, they immediately began playing exciting music.

The big screen on the stage.

On the left is the movie poster for "Shoplifters," and on the right is a live shot of Yu Feihong.

"Sister Fei Hong, it's time to go up on stage to receive your award," Lu Chen reminded her, as the event was being broadcast live.

Not just foreign audiences.

Domestic audiences can all see it.

Because of the extensive media coverage of the Cannes Film Festival in mainland China this year, the Cannes awards ceremony has garnered more attention than any other international film festival, second only to the Academy Awards.

Yu Feihong took a deep breath; her mind was a little foggy.

She acted in a movie in 80 when she was nine years old, and then in 99, "Little Li Flying Dagger" became a nationwide hit. But to this day, she has never won an individual Best Actress award.

And now she has become the first mainland Chinese actress to win the Cannes Film Festival Best Actress award.

If you don't come, you don't come; but if you do, you'll give us a big surprise.

Calming herself down, she straightened her dress and got up to walk from the guest area toward the center of the stage.

"Slap! Slap!"

Thunderous applause erupted from the audience.

This affirms Yu Feihong's performance in the film.

She deservedly won the Best Actress award.

His performance in the film is remarkable, with many scenes worth highlighting. The scene where he is interrogated at the police station is particularly brilliant; his acting is so nuanced and masterful that it's a textbook example of divine performance.
