Chapter 260 Thank you for your love
Wang Dalun's life has become regular again. He runs in the morning, eats breakfast, goes shopping in the morning, hides in the room and sleeps in the afternoon, wakes up and calls his girlfriend.
The time difference between the two places is six hours. He is four o'clock in the afternoon and his girlfriend's side is ten o'clock in the evening, which is exactly the time before going to bed. Fan Ziyi's filming of a mother was very smooth. The scenes in Shanghai are at most a week, and then she has to go to Hong Kong to film. In four or five days, all the scenes were completed. The filming cycle of more than 20 episodes of TV series is one and a half months, which is relatively fast.
But my girlfriend has been complaining to him that it is really a coincidence that when she goes to Hong Kong, if it is delayed for a few days, it will be the famous Christmas discount season in Hong Kong. At that time, many big-name clothes, cosmetics, jewelry and other discounts will be very strong, and some are even less than half of the domestic price.
Especially now that I just bought a house and owed a lot of debts from the bank, I need to save money. It is a pity to miss this discount season.
Wang Dalun had no choice but to comfort him and relieve his girlfriend's depression.
Red wine is produced in France, but the most famous thing in Nantes is a white wine called Castell. There are many varieties of different prices, with only a dozen or twenty francs cheaper ones, and hundreds or even thousands of francs expensive ones. Wang Dalun picked a few bottles of thirty to fifty francs to try. He didn't taste the quality of the varieties of different prices, but the wine is sour and delicious. It is best to have a little iced and taste better.
He had decided to get a few boxes when he left, send them to his friends, or drink them by himself, which were excellent!
Although I have said a lot, the one-week film festival will soon come to its closing day.
On December 1, the 23rd Nantes Three Continents International Film Festival will hold a closing ceremony and award ceremony at Nantes Cinema. Although the star flavor here is far less intense than the three European festivals and the red carpet is not as enthusiastic and long as it is, it still attracts hundreds of journalists from all over the world.
Wang Dalun is still wearing a black dress, a narrow black tie, and a black super cool style. When he walked across the red carpet, he actually attracted a burst of cheers from movie fans. Without the participation of big European and American celebrities, with the popularity and good reputation of seafood at this film festival, he is still the same size on today's red carpet.
When we entered the theater, a staff member came to guide us. The organizer left four seats for them, which were in the first row. Everyone looked at each other tacitly, and everyone had a smile on their faces and sat down with a smug look. It seemed that the award was definitely won tonight. As for the specific awards, it will be announced only in the end.
In fact, although it is a film festival of three continents, most of the main awards are won by Asian films. Of course, sometimes Latin American films will also make some unpopular. As for African films, uh, it can only be said that it focuses on participation.
After a week of preheating, everyone can guess which movies can win awards. There are three popular movies in the Golden Balloon Awards, and of course seafood is among them. There are also Iranian movies that opened and an Argentine movie that is also well-received.
They came in early. As more and more filmmakers walked into the theater, the director and protagonist of the Iranian movie were indeed sitting next to them, while the South American buddies in Argentina sat in a row behind them.
The award ceremony officially began. The French have always been romantic and humorous. Although the party is not very star-like, the atmosphere is still very good, and the awards are arranged very tightly. There are some consolation prizes and technical awards in front of them. There are many black buddies on stage. They are very happy to win the award. The award speech is very enthusiastic. There is even an indigenous dance directly on stage with their ethnic characteristics, which is extremely lively.
After waiting for more than an hour, it finally came to the time to award the heavyweight award. The Best Screenwriter was taken away by the Argentine movie sitting behind them. Zhu Wen looked a little disappointed, but immediately became nervous again because the Best Director Award was about to be awarded.
The award presenter was a French director. This guy humorously played a talk show with the host. I don’t like this film festival very much, because I never want to win an award here or something. After Balabara said a lot, he remembered the serious business and said, “Okay! Let’s see which of my colleagues is so lucky, and the one who won the best director is.”
He opened the envelope and looked at it for a while before two words popped out extremely stiffly: "z h u wen!"
"Wow"
There was applause from the audience.
Although Zhu Wen's English level is poor, it does not mean that he cannot understand his name. As soon as the French buddy finished speaking, he jumped up from the chair. He settled in place for a while. Wang Dalun clearly saw him breathing deeply with his eyes closed. He hugged Jacob first, then hugged his girlfriend's concubine, and finally hugged Wang Dalun, whispered: "Go up with me to receive the award."
"Why?"
Wang Dalun was stunned. Although he temporarily played the role of the deputy director during filming, he wouldn't have gone on stage to receive the Best Director Award together, right?
"Translation, brother!"
Wang Dalun suddenly burst into laughter. It seemed that he was thinking too much.
When the two walked on stage at the same time, the people in the audience were actually quite puzzled. I guess many people were thinking secretly: Please, this is the best director award ceremony, not the best actor! Or they were holding the same mentality as Wang Dalun before.
It was not until Zhu Wen took over the Silver Balloon Trophy, which symbolized the Best Director from that French buddy and delivered his speech on the award that everyone suddenly realized that it was a translator.
In fact, it is no wonder that the African buddies who won the award before have either French or English. Although the Latin American winners, although their native language is Spanish, the English people who came to the stage to receive the award were also fluent and did not need to be translated at all.
"Thank you! Thank you for the organizing committee! Thank you for the jury! This is such an exciting moment! I will remember this place in Nantes for the rest of my life. There are so many good things happening, and I will be more confident and firmly fulfilling my dream of film thanks Jacob, thanks for you for giving so much for seafood; thanks to Director Jia Zhangke, thanks for your support and guidance; thanks to Mr. Yu Liwei; thanks to our photographer Mr. Liu Yonghong."
Zhu Wen gave a series of thanks. After Wang Dalun translated it in English, he turned his head and said sincerely to Wang Dalun: "I want to thank Mr. Wang Dalun here for his special thanks. I want to say that without you, there might not be the birth of the movie Seafood. Thank you for choosing to trust me in the most difficult time. I want to say that it is great to have you as a friend!"
Wang Dalun was actually quite moved when he heard this, but when he was translating, he said: "This guy just thanked me and said a lot of numb words. I was embarrassed to translate."
Before he finished speaking, there was a burst of laughter from the audience, followed by applause.
After the applause stopped, he continued: "I am really moved. But I also want to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to him. If I don't win the award later, of course I just said that if I am ready to thank him, I will not have the opportunity to say anything."
There was another burst of laughter and applause under the "Wow".
"I want to tell him that in his movies, I am very happy and very happy to work with Director Zhu Wen. Thanks to Director Zhu Wen, because you made a very good movie."
Zhu Wen couldn't understand what Wang Dalun had translated, but when he saw bursts of laughter and applause, he knew that this guy must have not translated as he said just now. While applauding below, he asked in a low voice: "What did you say just now?"
"It's nothing, you'd better tell me quickly. Some people are almost unable to wait." Wang Dalun blinked at him and smiled.
It turned out that the girl sitting in the audience had already stretched her neck and looked at her boyfriend with excitement.
Zhu Wen stood in the spotlight, looked at her with the same affectionate eyes, and slowly said: "Finally, I want to thank my girlfriend and the heroine in my movie. Thank you for your company and support for me over the years. I think at this moment I have found the secret to loving you, forever as the first time!"
Wow! This guy actually expressed his love to the girl with the lines of the drama. The effect was very obvious. The girl was moved to tears at this time. After Wang Dalun translated his words, the audience suddenly burst into applause and directly pushed the awards ceremony to the evening party.
After the Best Director, the Best Actress, Best Actor, and the Last Award, and Best Picture Golden Balloon Award.
The best actress awarded first was won by the heroine of the Argentine film, a Latin beauty with a very popular figure. Although the girl was disappointed, she was still mentally prepared. After all, this was her first time filming a movie, and she was very lucky to be able to come to Cannes and come here again.
But in this way, the final suspense arose. The organizer arranged the seafood crew and the opening film Iranian film crew to sit together, and the Iranian crew has only won one technical award now, which means that the last two grand prizes will definitely win one.
In this way, after winning the Best Screenwriter and Best Actress, the Argentine crew should have missed the Golden Balloon Award. For the seafood crew, if Wang Dalun loses again in the competition for Best Actor below, they still hope to win the Golden Balloon Award. On the contrary, if Wang Dalun can win the Best Actor Award, there will be no suspense in the final Golden Balloon, and it will definitely be an Iranian movie.
The guest who presented the Best Actress was a male actor, and then the guest who presented the Best Actor was replaced by a local French female star. It is said that she was a wrist. The applause was loud when she appeared. Wang Dalun also felt very familiar with her, but for a moment she couldn't remember what role she had played.
The two crews in the audience were very nervous at this moment, especially Wang Dalun and Zhu Wen. They were in a conflict at this moment. They all hoped that Wang Dalun could win the Best Actor, but once Wang Dalun got the Best Actor, it would mean that he would lose his hand with the Golden Balloon Award.
This French female star was very straightforward, without too many opening remarks, and she started to unpack the envelope. Wang Dalun stared at her without blinking. For him, the Golden Balloon Awards were meaningless. He had won the Golden Balloon Award once when he starred in the stage last year. At the same time, he also knew that today was the best opportunity for him to win the Best Actor since he started filming. If he missed it, it would undoubtedly be the biggest failure for him, and he would even doubt his acting skills.
The French female star finally opened the envelope. In fact, it took only three or four seconds, but Wang Dalun felt that he had been waiting for a long time. The French female star glanced at the contents in the envelope and announced: "The one who won the Best Actor Award is"
She deliberately kept it a secret, and she also knew which two actors would be born. She deliberately sat between the two actors in the front row and swept twice. Finally, she stopped on someone and smiled and said, "Congratulations, King Dalun!"
As soon as the name was announced, warm applause suddenly erupted from the audience, and the Iranian film crew sitting next door even exclaimed a burst of exclamations, which means that their movie has been confirmed to win the Golden Balloon Award.
Wang Dalun listened to the noise. Although he had already prepared his mind for winning or not winning the prize, he still felt like he was taking time in his mind. After a moment, he felt a hot and trembling feeling of millet rushing straight to the back of his head along his spinal cord, which made his scalp numb.
Zhu Wen and Jacob looked a little complicated. One regretted the loss of the Golden Balloon Awards, and the other for the same reason, winning the Golden Balloon Awards will undoubtedly be a thrill to the movie box office.
However, they immediately smiled and congratulated Wang Dalun. Wang Dalun, who reacted, hugged them one by one, then stepped onto the stage with his long legs and vigorously.
"Dalun, please allow me to call you that, congratulations!"
Although the name Wang Dalun seems to be quite slight in Chinese, it is much easier to read in English than ordinary Chinese names.
"certainly!"
The French female star used French etiquette to paste his face twice before handing over the trophy.
"Thanks!"
He took the heavy trophy, walked to the microphone, stood still, and scanned the audience.
"Thanks!"
He raised the trophy in his hand.
"Thanks to the organizing committee, to the jury, and to the enthusiastic audience"
“Wow!”
The audience applauded again. Everyone's eyes were focused on this tall and thin oriental man with clear facial contours. His appearance may be average with Chinese aesthetic views, but in the eyes of the West, he is very handsome and charming.
"I have thanked my director on stage just now, but the jury gave me the opportunity to come on stage again. I want to thank him again."
"Buzz"
There was a kind laugh on the stage.
"Thanks to Director Zhu Wen, I really enjoy working with you and your beautiful girlfriend. Thank you Mr. Li Jieming, thank you Director Jia Zhangke, thank you"
Wang Dalun thanked me one by one and finally said, "What I want to thank the most is my girlfriend. Although you may not be able to see this scene tonight, I want to say that it is you who gave me the motivation to move forward. Thank you, thank you for your love!"
