Chapter 75 Best Actor Award (please vote for me)(1/2)
Leonardo also wanted to know a few more words about Chinese culture. When the host on the red carpet called his name, he had no choice but to go over first.
When other artists come to the Cannes Film Festival, they either show off or act cool when walking on the red carpet.
Visiting him is like strolling through your own back garden.
With one hand in his pocket, he walked up and waved to the media. He covered the 20-meter red carpet in less than 30 seconds.
Compared with some people who can take ten minutes or half an hour, this speed is definitely very fast.
It was gone so quickly that the host didn't even react.
Afraid that he would slip away, the host quickly stepped forward and asked: "Compared to previous years, this year's film festival is larger in scale and has more participants. What do you think of this film festival?"
After pondering for a few seconds, Leonardo said: "I want to use a Chinese sentence I just learned to express that this film festival is a shame."
As soon as the words came out, while the foreign media were still thinking about the meaning of this sentence, the Chinese media had already raised their cameras to take pictures.
While taking pictures, he exclaimed: "Fuck you, Niubi, who taught him this?"
The host didn't understand this sentence in Chinese, so he asked Leonardo what it meant. The translation he got was "very good", so he also said something awesome.
"Who is this guy?"
At the edge of the red carpet, Ding Xiu grabbed the Chinese reporter who had just acted as translator and asked.
Those who make it to the red carpet are not ordinary people, and he knows this.
At first, I thought that this foreigner whose looks were as good as his was just a small celebrity, but judging from his leisurely walk on the red carpet and the overwhelming sound of the media's shutters, it seemed that he had been underestimated.
"Leonardo DiCaprio." The reporter could tell from the conversation between the two that the kid in front of him was a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers. He had never seen the market at all and didn't know anyone.
"I made my debut at the age of sixteen, and was nominated for the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor and the Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor at the age of nineteen."
"At the age of twenty-two, he won the Best Actor at the Berlin Film Festival and was nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in the same year."
"Awesome." Ding Xiu smacked his mouth and looked at Leonardo on the stage.
He didn't know what the Golden Globes were, but he had heard of the Oscars and the Berlin Film Festival.
It has been almost a hundred years since the first domestic film Dingjunshan was released in 1905.
In the past 100 years, no one in China has won the Berlin Best Actor.
Leonardo was able to win the Best Actor in Berlin at the age of 22. This is no longer impressive, it is very impressive. Looking at the whole world, it is a very dazzling achievement.
What's more, he has the experience of being nominated for an Oscar. If he succeeds, wouldn't it be even more impressive?
"Boy, you'd better run away." The reporter kindly reminded Ding Xiu: "When people realize what this sentence means in Chinese, I'm afraid they won't want to chop your heart out."
By saying this Chinese sentence in front of the global media, Leonardo has become famous this time, and what awaits him will be overwhelming reports.
I don't know if it's good or bad.
As the instigator, Ding Xiu cannot escape his involvement.
If you don’t run now, wait until later.
Ding Xiu sneered: "He has to learn how to run. It's none of my business."
After saying that, he turned around and got into the crowd, disappearing without a trace.
In the afternoon, opposite the Film Palace, Ding Xiu and Xu Haofeng found a restaurant for dinner. As they ate, Xu Haofeng smiled and said, "Did you know that there was news today?"
"There is a superstar named Leonardo. When he was walking on the red carpet, the host asked him what he thought of this film festival. In front of the global media, he said, "Fuck you, that's awesome."
"Speaking in Chinese, Chinese."
"Hahaha, I'm laughing so hard. I don't know which idiot taught him this. Now this guy has become famous."
Talking about this, Xu Haofeng laughed heartily regardless of his appearance. He smiled and saw Ding Xiu sitting opposite him with a straight face, and his smile gradually became stiff.
According to his understanding of Ding Xiu, he is usually the first to laugh when hearing such jokes.
If you don't laugh, it's worth thinking about.
Thinking that Ding Xiu had been active on the red carpet today, he had a bad feeling.
"Brother Xiu, could it be..."
Ding Xiu nodded: "Yes, I am the fool you talk about."
"I lost it!"
Xu Haofeng, who has studied martial arts and literature and cultivated his energy for many years, considers himself to be somewhat qualified, and today he used a foul language for the first time.
He didn't expect that Leonardo's words came from Ding Xiu's mouth.
Now that I think about it, this fits Ding Xiu's character very well.
"Ahem, Brother Xiu, what about that, I didn't know it was you, but, hahaha, you are so awesome, you brought the quintessence of China to Cannes."
"If you win the award this time, you will also make a cool comment on the stage."
"This can be considered." Ding Xiu said seriously: "Our culture must be spread by ourselves."
Picking up a drink, Xu Haofeng said: "Five thousand years of culture depends on you, cheers!"
…
The red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival is held twice a day, one in the afternoon and one in the evening.
The show in the evening was at around ten o'clock.
Ding Xiu came over to take a look and then went back to sleep.
When the light is not good at night, those bold see-through skirts and club-style dresses are all in vain.
Everything is pitch black and boring.
The Cannes Film Festival has a total of twelve days including the opening and closing. During these twelve days, the jury will select the winning films.
So everyone can only wait and play.
In the afternoon of the next day, Ding Xiu came to the red carpet on time to look at the beauties, and occasionally went to other cinemas to see the masters' entries.
He mainly watches art films.
I’ve read a lot of European, American, Japanese and Korean ones.
Apart from being admitted to international film festivals, most of these films cannot be screened in China. Their style is very bold.
Anyway, Ding Xiu is just watching it as a pornographic film.
What's better than pornographic films is that the heroines in these films are very beautiful.
Pure, charming, sassy, there are all kinds of them.
This trip was worthwhile, it really opened his eyes a lot and gained him a lot of knowledge.
Compared to Ding Xiu's leisurely life, Xu Haofeng is much busier, squatting at the entrance of major cinemas every day.
Hand out business cards to everyone you meet.
Over the course of a week, business cards were printed one after another.
The trash cans outside the cinema can barely hold it.
As the film festival comes to an end, with the announcement of awards one after another, some people are happy and some are sad.
Xu Haofeng also started to show off, and went to the red carpet every day to see beauties.
On the ninth day, the organizing committee announced the shortlist of special attention units.
The lost martial arts is on the list.
The award shortlisted is the One of a Kind Award for Best Actor.
"Fuck, fuck, fuck!"
Looking at the list announced by the organizing committee, Xu Haofeng was dumbfounded, and a series of curse words came out of his mouth.
Ding Xiu frowned and said, "Calm down, there are media taking pictures, I feel embarrassed."
Grabbing Ding Xiu's arms, Xu Haofeng said excitedly: "Shortlisted, shortlisted."
Taking off his hand, Ding Xiu said: "I have eyes and I can see. I also saw that there were more than 20 films just focusing on the Best Actor Award."
There are more than 20 films shortlisted for the Un Certain Regard Best Actor award, and Ding Xiu doesn't think his chances of winning the award are high.
This trip is just for traveling and seeing girls.
"It's not bad to be shortlisted. I'm satisfied." Xu Haofeng took a few deep breaths and said, "Now the film can be sold."
He also knows that it is not easy to win awards, but being shortlisted shows that the quality is good, and at least producers are willing to buy his films.
That's enough!
In the afternoon, at five o'clock, Ding Xiu and Xu Haofeng, wearing suits and ties, came to the theater where a special attention unit award was presented.
This hall is not a little smaller than the hall for the main competition section and the jury award.
Fortunately, there are all the necessary procedures, such as walking on the red carpet.
With his chest raised and his head raised, Ding Xiu strode over and waved to the media, while the camera shutters sounded one after another.
