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

The film adaptation rights are in Cheng Yuan's hands; whatever price he makes is his.

selling?

Are you keeping them to breed instead of selling them?

Several Chinese-language films were nominated for Cannes this year, naturally attracting a lot of attention in China.

The Hunt received high praise in Cannes and became a strong contender for the Palme d'Or, which naturally reached back home.

Information about this film naturally reached China as well.

No one expected that Cheng Yuan would draw inspiration from the "voices of doubt" to create such a film, which was even shortlisted for the Cannes International Film Festival.

Is this the world of geniuses?

There are many rumors circulating online, the most talked-about of which is that Cheng Yuan mocks all those who questioned him in his new film, with Lu Chuan being the most prominent example.

The rumors were so detailed and convincing that they only increased moviegoers' curiosity about the film.

"Many people question me, who does he think he is?"

Cheng Yuan's words have been very popular online, and many people have even imitated them before. Now they have been dug up by netizens again.

Besides, Lu Chuan had previously said that Cheng Yuan's inclusion in the shortlist was due to luck.

Compared to "The Hunt," the other nominated films received far less attention, and their scores in the festival's daily publication were also far lower than "The Hunt."

This is one of the reasons why it's so popular in China.

"The Hunt" was so successful at Cannes that many studios offered high prices for it.

However, China Film Group was in charge of selling the copyrights; Cheng Yuan didn't get involved.

This movie has already made money; it's just a matter of how much.

Time flies, and the closing ceremony is just around the corner.

The night before, Cheng Yuan received a call to attend the closing ceremony.

Everyone knows what this means; at least they won't leave empty-handed.

As for the Palme d'Or, although Cheng Yuan felt that the chances were slim, his expectations were rising infinitely.

The original version didn't win the Palme d'Or, largely because it was overshadowed by the film "Amour," which received a high score of 3.3 in the festival's daily publication.

Of course, this year's competition wasn't without its good works.

On the closing ceremony red carpet, Cheng Yuan didn't linger for long, only stopping to wave when domestic media called out to him occasionally.

On the red carpet, Cheng Yuan saw the crew of "Qinghong".

Cheng Yuan wasn't too surprised by this.

If I remember correctly, this film won the Jury Prize.

Of course, this award is far inferior to the Grand Jury Prize.

The awards ceremony began soon.

The first approach is naturally to target some peripheral and non-main competition units.

The original version of "The Hunt" won the Catholic Humanitarian Award, which naturally had nothing to do with Cheng Yuan's version.

I don't know if it's because there were no church scenes in his movie.

Cheng Yuan changed that scene to a town "family reunion dinner".

What Cheng Yuan didn't expect was that he didn't receive the FIPRESCI Special Prize that the original version won.

Could there really be a big prize?

Cheng Yuan's heart was beating faster, his anticipation rising even higher.

The awards ceremony quickly moved on to the main competition section.

"The Three Funerals of Escada" won the Best Screenplay award.

The film was directed by Tommy Lee Jones, who also starred in it.

He is also one of the male protagonists in the Men in Black series.

In his past life, he seemed to have won the Best Actor award at Cannes with this film.

Thinking of this, Cheng Yuan subconsciously glanced at Wang Jingsong beside him.

Buried stole the Best Actor award from The Sea Inside, which only won the Jury Prize.

Will the appearance of "The Hunt" steal the Best Actor award from "The Three Funerals of Escada" and leave it only to win Best Screenplay?

It's quite possible.

Shall we cut the cake?

Winning the Palme d'Or for "The Child" is definitely much more difficult than winning the lead role for "The Three Funerals of Escalade".

After all, that film won the Best Screenplay award.

If "The Hunt" wins the Best Actor award like the original, will it still have a chance to win the Palme d'Or?

Cheng Yuan's expectations, which had just been raised, immediately dropped again.

When "Shanghai Dreams" won the Jury Prize, Wang Xiaoshuai's eyes flashed with disappointment before he smiled and went on stage to accept the award.

This award isn't particularly prestigious, but it's still an award.

The Best Actress award went to Hannah Laszlo for "Free Zone".

Next, when the Best Actor award was presented, Cheng Yuan could clearly feel Wang Jinsong next to him tense up.

This is because she couldn't suppress her nervousness.

"Barring any unforeseen circumstances, this next award should be yours."

Cheng Yuan said to Wang Jinsong with a smile.

Wang Jinsong looked at Cheng Yuan with surprise.

So confident?

"If I win, you'll be far from winning the Palme d'Or," Wang Jinsong said with a smile. "It's rare for a film to win multiple awards at international awards ceremonies."

"I'm still young, I'll have plenty of opportunities in the future."

Cheng Yuan said with a smile that if he didn't get it this time, he would go back and make the movie "Love".

Anyway, it's a low-budget art film.

We'll fight Cannes again then!

If they still can't get it, then they'll make "Shoplifters" or "Parasite".

However, those two films had relatively more trouble getting approved.

We will not give up until we win the Palme d'Or and create a golden statue.

"...The Best Actor award goes to: Jin Song Wang, for *The Hunt*!"

"Clap clap clap!"

Cheng Yuan clapped with a smile, while Wang Jinsong was stunned for a moment, but quickly came to his senses and stood up excitedly.

The name sounds a bit awkward, but the title "The Hunt" is perfectly clear.

Cheng Yuan then stood up and hugged Wang Jinsong.

"Congratulations!"

"Thanks!"

Wang Jinsong hugged Cheng Yuan, then turned around and hugged Jiang Wu next to him before heading towards the podium.

"Thank you to the Cannes International Film Festival, thank you to the jury for their recognition..."

"I feel a little excited, a little thrilled, and a little complicated."

Complex?

This left many people puzzled.

You've won an award, but what are your mixed feelings?

What's so complicated about that?

"I was the head teacher of the 2002 undergraduate acting class at Beijing Film Academy, and the director of this film is one of my students."

When Wang Jinsong said this, many people in the audience looked surprised.

Is the director his student?

Many people in the film industry know some information about Cheng Yuan.

She has a background in acting and is still a student.

He won the Best Actor award at the Venice Film Festival for his very first film.

Huh?

This second film earned him the Best Actor award at Cannes.

This young director is amazing!

No wonder she studied acting.

Two movies, two international Best Actor winners.

"I'm wondering if I run into him in class again, should I call him 'Director,' or just call him what I used to call him?"

"Should I approve his leave in the future, or should I approve it?"

"If he skips class, should I issue him a leave slip?"

"I'm so overwhelmed with this award, I'm almost too proud to accept it."

Upon hearing this, the audience members smiled.

A student who helped his homeroom teacher become an international film star is truly a remarkable story.

This is not only a remarkable story at the Cannes Film Festival, but also a remarkable story in the global film industry.

Of course, it is also a beautiful story from the Beijing Film Academy.

"grateful......"

After another round of thanks, he stepped down from the podium.

Domestically, the news of Wang Jinsong winning the Cannes Best Actor award had already caused a sensation.
