Huayu09: Starting with Hijacking Xiao Shenyang

Chapter 19 Bombarding the Cannes Jury [Please read on, please vote!]

"Chen Mo! Black Coal, Thin Ice!" Zhang Ziyi exclaimed, then added slyly, "Congratulations to my good friend and brother, winning the Cannes Film Festival!"

"An 18-year-old screenwriter? Unbelievable!"

Shu Qi exclaimed sincerely that she clapped very enthusiastically.

It's no wonder they flattered and tried to get close to Chen Mo. He's in the Chinese film industry and is also a screenwriter. Given his background and connections, you never know when he might need their help.

Being near the water tower gives you an advantage.

"Clap clap clap!"

The women applauded wildly.

Even some unreserved Western women whistled.

Handsome little screenwriter, come into your big sister's arms.

My sister is a complete original.

Big, soft, and bouncy!

"Whoosh!"

Zhao Benshan sprang to his feet, his palms red from clapping.

I'm genuinely happy for my little apprentice.

I am so proud!

From now on.

With a Cannes award-winning screenwriter at our Benshan Media, who dares to say our works are unsophisticated?

Have you ever been to Cannes?!

Do you know which way the main door faces?!

Have you ever won an award?!

"Holy crap, awesome! Junior brother is awesome!"

Zhao Si, Song Xiaobao, and Tang Jianjun were so excited they forgot themselves.

Congratulations, Director!

Liao Fan and Yu Nan are more composed.

But he couldn't hide his excitement.

They have left another brilliant mark on the Chinese film industry.

In 2009, she starred in the Cannes-winning film "Black Coal, Thin Ice".

Many actors and celebrities are willing to lower their fees, work for free, or even pay out of their own pockets to work with famous directors.

The reason is nothing more than reputation.

For example, Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, and others are destined to be recorded in world film history after their passing.

Actors who have starred in their works, especially their award-winning ones, will also be remembered in history.

As the saying goes, a person leaves a name behind, and a goose leaves a sound as it flies by.

No one can resist temptation.

Ma Lijuan, sitting in the audience, was so happy that tears welled up in her eyes.

Xiao Mo.

You've made something of yourself!

"Auntie, congratulations!"

Liu Yifei's heart was pounding, but she still wisely handed her aunt a tissue.

"Daughter, congratulations to you too."

Ma Lijuan burst into laughter through her tears, her words subtly suggestive and suggestive.

Liu Yifei quickly lowered her head. She clearly couldn't understand what her aunt was saying, so why were her cheeks burning?

After enjoying the embraces from his master and the others, Chen Mo glanced at Lou Ye.

Tsk tsk tsk…

He was practically grinding his teeth to powder; what an uncultured old intellectual.

What's wrong?

I'm not convinced.

This is your chance to seize!

Chen Mo tidied his clothes in a gentlemanly manner and strode towards the center of the stage.

Every step he took was so dashing and debonair.

Every step he took touched the female guest's heart.

Zhang Ziyi and Shu Qi both had intense, almost drooling, gazes in their eyes.

Who could resist a young, handsome, and talented Cannes award-winning director?

Little calf, do you want to eat some grass?

"Thank you, Sister Ziyi. Thank you, Sister Qi."

Chen Mo nodded in acknowledgment.

Zhang Ziyi thoughtfully raised the microphone slightly to ensure Chen Mo was in the best possible condition when speaking.

"First of all, I would like to thank the jury for recognizing 'Black Coal, Thin Ice'. Then, I would like to invite all the main creators and actors to come up on stage to share this joy, because this award belongs not only to me, but also to Liao Fan, Yu Nan, my senior brothers and sisters, and Mr. Zhao Benshan, the chairman of Benshan Media and my mentor."

"Clap clap clap!"

The audience erupted in thunderous applause.

Chen Mo's actions were not out of line; everyone likes to deal with people who are grateful.

"Um... Master, shall we go up?"

Zhao Si didn't stutter; he was just too nervous to shift gears properly.

"Of course, Xiao Mo is giving you a chance to shine. Let's go."

Zhao Benshan was the first to stand up, followed by the Zhao family disciples and the male and female leads.

"Oh my god."

It had to be Zhao Si; he tripped over his own feet and almost fell face-first into the mud.

Fortunately, Song Xiaobao reacted quickly.

"Hahaha…"

The guests burst into laughter.

really.

Wherever the Zhao family troupe goes, laughter follows.

"What a mess."

Zhao Benshan said something.

"Hehe, I'm sorry, Master. It's my first time performing in such a refined setting, so it's inevitable that I'll stumble a bit."

Zhao Si quickly put on a forced smile.

Chen Mo ran to the edge of the stage and helped his old teacher up.

now.

Zhao Benshan's pride was overflowing.

After concluding his remarks, the Zhao family troupe took a very memorable family photo in Cannes.

The last three awards are the same as in the original timeline.

The awards ceremony has ended.

Jiang Wen led Chairman Jacob to Chen Mo.

"Oh, congratulations to Chen, the 18-year-old Cannes award-winning screenwriter."

"Thank you for the compliment, Chairman. I never expected to be received by you personally. It is a great honor."

Chen Mo extended his palm.

"I really like the realism of 'Black Coal, Thin Ice'. I hope you can write more similar scripts, with a sharper touch. Ideally, it should be about rural folk customs and oppressive feudal superstition and ignorance, criticizing reality and exposing its scars. I think it won't be long before you become the youngest Best Director at Cannes."

Chen Mo withdrew his hand.

These aren't hints; they're explicit statements.

If you can write, then write more.

Especially those disgusting things your country does.

We Westerners love to watch it.

"Uncle Wen, thank you for introducing this gentleman to me, but there is an old Chinese saying: 'Those who walk different paths cannot make plans together.'"

Chen Mo turned and left.

"This... Oh, Jiang, did I say something wrong? I said the same thing to promising directors in China before, and they all agreed. Why is he like this?"

Jacob was completely baffled.

"Xiao Mo has her own artistic pursuits."

Jiang Wen could only offer a perfunctory reply.

Neither side is at fault.

As Chen Mo said, those who walk different paths cannot make plans together.

Press conference.

Chen Mo looked grim and asked the male and female leads to be interviewed first.

"You brat, you're still not happy about winning Best Screenplay? Who messed with you this time?"

Zhao Benshan asked softly.

"Master, I'm about to do something crazy. Will you blame me?"

Chen Mo countered with a question.

"Silly child, every cause has its effect. Master knows you're not one to act impulsively. Do whatever you want, and Master will clean up your mess."

Zhao Benshan did not hesitate at all, his tone firm and resolute.

"Brother Fan, give me the microphone."

"it is good."

Chen Mo took the microphone and stood up at the same time.

"I should have been happy, but I really can't be happy."

The opening sentence sets the tone immediately.

The reporters present were very perceptive and had a keen sense of smell; they quickly shut their mouths and listened attentively.

What shocking remarks will this top screenwriter from China make?

"I thought the Cannes Film Festival was fair and impartial, a top-tier film festival that only considered art and not other aspects. But after this awards ceremony, I realized I was wrong, terribly wrong!"

"Is this an awards ceremony? Isn't this just like distributing pork in the market? 9 out of 20 films won awards, the Best Director award went to some nobody, and how did 'A Prophet,' with a 1.5 rating, win the Jury Prize? This is a conspiracy, an insult and desecration of art!"

"Cannes has disappointed me greatly!"

"I hereby solemnly declare that I, Chen Mo, will never set foot in Cannes again!"

Having said that...

He put down the microphone and turned to leave.

He was very dashing and domineering.

"boom!"

The press conference immediately erupted in chaos.

This year's film festival was indeed very fast-paced, with multiple media outlets criticizing the distribution of spoils and many directors and actors privately discussing the unfairness of the distribution.

As for those who have vested interests, they will absolutely not speak out.

This young director from China is truly principled. Isn't he afraid of offending the Cannes Film Festival?

Of course I'm not afraid.

Zhang Yimou is a cautionary tale.

After publicly breaking with Cannes, "Not One Less" won the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival, and "The Road Home" won the Jury Prize at the Berlin Film Festival.

The three major European countries are competitive and exclusive.

Chen Mo declared that he would not enter Cannes, which would surely lead to him being courted and given special attention by the other two companies.

After all, their strength speaks for itself!

The world's major film festivals are not only halls of fame but also marketplaces for filmmakers.

The more famous a film studio is, the more film distributors it can attract and the more profits it can make.

otherwise.

What are the three major European countries doing in cultivating their own directors?

Do you do charity?

The press conference ended abruptly, and the crew members went from joy to worry.

No one knew why Chen Mo suddenly opened fire.

The Cannes Film Festival was caught off guard, and even its own members were caught off guard.

They're all adults.

Don't you understand the rules of the world today? There's no such thing as absolute fairness.

Only Jiang Wen knew some of the inside story.

but.

Based on his understanding of Chen Mo, it was definitely not as simple as he described at the press conference.

Xiao Mo is young.

But he is very shrewd in interpersonal relationships.
