Huayu: Everyone's been reborn, who's still going to be an actor?

Chapter 116 Who is that girl? (14/40)

Cheng Yuan won the Best Actress award at Cannes for her role in "Love," and the news was quickly reported by major domestic portal websites.

It caused quite a stir instantly.

If it weren't for the time difference of several hours, it would probably have caused an even bigger sensation.

Wu Yanshu became the second Cannes Film Festival Best Actress winner after Zhang Manyu.

The difference is that the film for which Zhang Manyu won the Cannes Best Actress award was a French film, not a Chinese-language film.

Cheng Yuan's "Love" is the first Chinese-language film to win the Cannes Film Festival Best Actress award.

Before this, Cheng Yuan won the Best Actor award at Cannes for his role in "The Hunt".

Cheng Yuan has now collected the best actors and actresses from Cannes.

That's impressive.

The Best Actor award was about to be presented, and Cheng Yuan subconsciously glanced at You Benchang, seeing that he remained calm and did not seem nervous.

Perhaps he knew that at these kinds of international film festivals, the chances of a film winning Best Actor or Best Actress awards were slim, even if his performance deserved an award for Best Actor.

This year's jury tends to favor films that focus on women. Given the same film, between him and Wu Yanshu, they would clearly favor Wu Yanshu to win.

As expected, the Best Actor award was won by a Russian actor, just like in the original timeline.

The Jury Prize was awarded to one of two films, but one of them was an animated film.

The Best Director award went to Julian Schnabel for "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly".

The film uses unique camera angles to recreate the world of a man whose body is paralyzed but whose mind is unrestrained. Its unrestrained and soaring imagination permeates the entire film, and the protagonist's fantasy and dream sequences truly convey his longing.

Cheng Yuan even made a special trip to attend the premiere of this movie.

The film interweaves multiple timelines, with the protagonist's present, past, imagination, and dreams intertwined seamlessly without any sense of complexity or indistinguishability.

Having won an acting award, the chances of winning a directing award are slim, but the chances are much higher than winning the Best Film award.

It's a pity I didn't take it.

Cheng Yuan remained expressionless, smiling and clapping as he offered his blessings.

Even if you're mentally prepared, it's still hard not to feel a little disappointed.

How come I won an acting award again? My directing skills have improved a lot since I was reborn.

Cannes 60th Anniversary Special Prize: Garth Van Sant's *Psychedelic Park*.

Grand Jury Prize: Christian Mungiu, "4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days"!

and many more!

Wasn't the Grand Jury Prize for "The Forest of the Wilderness" (directed by Naomi Kawase)?

Didn't Christian Mungiu win the Palme d'Or this year for "4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days"?

Could it be that I, this butterfly, not only ousted a Cannes Best Actress winner from South Korea, but also a Jury Prize winner from Japan?

It was really squeezed out; no double-yolk eggs were opened.

So, if "4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days" won the Jury Prize, who will win the Palme d'Or?

Does he still have a chance?

Cheng Yuan suddenly tensed up.

"Director Cheng."

Jiang Wenli, who was standing next to him, seemed to notice the change in Cheng Yuan's emotions.

Could it be because they didn't win the Jury Prize?

After all, "The Distinguished Citizen" won the Best Actor award and the Jury Prize.

She was clearly unaware that Cheng Yuan saw hope in winning the Palme d'Or.

In her view, if she didn't win the Jury Prize, the chances of winning the Palme d'Or were even lower.

Cheng Yuan waved his hand but didn't say anything.

His extinguished flame reignited.

He felt that if the original actor won the Palme d'Or, and he only won the Best Actress award, it would be a failure.

Leaving aside "Buried" and "The Hunt," which, like the original, only won the Best Actor award at Cannes, "The Distinguished Citizen" won an additional Jury Prize compared to the original.

That means Cheng Yuan has made progress based on the original version.

Soon, we arrived at the Palme d'Or.

Cheng Yuan suddenly tensed up.

...This film can be described as a love elegy, using the realities of aging, illness, and death to offer an ultimate test and examination of love. It is also filled with moral and ethical choices and dilemmas.

Cheng Yuan listened, his eyes widening. Wasn't this talking about "Love"?

Stay calm! You absolutely must stay calm!

The title hasn't been announced yet.

Jiang Wenli clearly understood, and at this moment she stood up excitedly.

You Benchang and Wu Yanshu were also somewhat incredulous.

The Palme d'Or.

The Palme d'Or for Best Film at the 60th Cannes International Film Festival goes to: *The Journey*, *Amour*! Congratulations to this talented director from China!

"6

Cheng Yuan stood up and hugged the excited Jiang Wenli next to him.

I had no other intentions; it was purely out of excitement.

After calming himself down, Cheng Yuan invited the main cast members to come up on stage together.

The Palme d'Or is for Best Picture, and it belongs to the entire cast and crew, who can all go on stage together.

However, they were rejected, including by Jiang Wenli.

Cheng Yuan straightened his clothes and then went on stage.

"Ahhh..."

'

When Cheng Yuan won the Palme d'Or, both Liu Yifei and Shu Chang exclaimed in surprise.

Liu Xiaoli, who was in the next room, was woken up again.

What's wrong with these two little girls? They're never going to stop.

Did he win another award?

Liu Xiaoli was woken up twice, then got up, knocked on the door and went in.

"Don't you two ever sleep?"

Liu Xiaoli said with a hint of reproach.

"Mom, Cheng Yuan won the Palme d'Or."

Liu Yifei excitedly said to Liu Xiaoli.

"The Palme d'Or?"

Liu Xiaoli was completely stunned.

She was well aware of the value of the Palme d'Or.

There is only one in China so far, or you could even say half one.

"Farewell My Concubine" was a double hit back then.

"Wait a minute, what were you calling me just now?"

Liu Xiaoli came to her senses and asked with some confusion.

"Cheng Yuan's film not only won the Palme d'Or, but also the Best Actress award at Cannes. One gold and one silver, isn't that amazing?" Liu Yifei said excitedly. "He's now the youngest Palme d'Or winner."

Looking at the excited Liu Yifei, Liu Xiaoli suddenly felt that something important had left her.

Cheng Yuan has taken the stage.

""

Shu Chang started speaking, and Liu Yifei immediately looked at the computer, while Liu Xiaoli, who had woken up from her nap, also went over.

On the podium, Cheng Yuan had already walked to the microphone.

"My name is Cheng Yuan, I'm from China, and I'm a graduate student at the Beijing Film Academy. I'm grateful to the Cannes Film Festival judges for giving such an important award to someone as young as me. I'm also grateful to my school for its nurturing, and to teachers You Benchang, Wu Yanshu, Jiang Wenli, and others for their perfect performances. And thank you to everyone in the crew for their hard work..."

'

After a moment of reflection, Cheng Yuan suddenly raised the Palme d'Or in his hand and said into the microphone, "Hey girl, are you looking? I got the Palme d'Or. For the rest of my life, I hope you'll be with me!"

Huh.

When Cheng Yuan said this, the audience was stunned for a moment, and then they erupted in cheers.

Many people subconsciously had one thought in their minds: Who is that girl?

The youngest Palme d'Or winner confessed his love to a girl on the podium in front of filmmakers from all over the world.

"Slap slap..."

19

The applause was deafening, as if it would lift the roof off.

What kind of place is France?

This is the heart of romance in Europe, and many people see Cheng Yuan's actions as romantic.

The only pity was that he didn't reveal the girl's name.

The female celebrities from all over the world in the audience were filled with envy.

Why isn't the young and handsome Palme d'Or director confessing his love to me?
