Stop it, boss, I’ve never seen a movie made like this.

Chapter 88 88. Award
It was a watershed moment from the start of Chen Li's movie.

The audience who had watched depressing literary films for several days suddenly experienced the fun of movies again.

"This Man Came From Earth" was a hit at the film festival, causing countless distributors from all over the world to flock to discuss cooperation.

It was impossible for Chen Li to discuss such a trivial matter in person. It happened that Allen came over after winning the award at the Molins Film Festival, and Chen Li simply gave up and let him do it.

Of course Allen is also very happy. This is Cannes. In the past, no one would watch his movies, but now, hehehe, everyone is fawning over me! !
His enthusiasm was high, and the negotiations lasted for a day. The results were very gratifying. The copyright and distribution rights in various regions around the world alone were sold for another US$5000 million!

This has broken the film transaction record of the past several Cannes Film Festivals! !

The money does not need to be split with theaters or investors, it all falls into Chen Li's pocket.

Because of his fame, in the next few days, the media from the film festival frantically invited people to interview this new talented director.

Before the film festival ended, Chen Li became popular in the film circles of various countries.

Even the reputations of Liu Wanxin and Wang Anrou have become famous, and many filmmakers from other countries have extended olive branches.

Compared with Chen Li's infinite scenery, Liu Hui's side is much colder.

"People in Spring" was released on the fifth day. Movie fans originally became interested when they heard that it was a shortlisted film and that it was directed by Xia Guo.

After all, Chen Li had learned from the past and gave everyone a big surprise.

After watching it once, I was disappointed. It was very different from other works. It was about humanities and humanity. It was slow-paced and made me feel drowsy while watching it.

Lui Ruifang's movie didn't cause any waves.

This made it difficult for Liu Hui to accept, especially since the copyrights sold in a few days were not even 300 million. Compared with 5000 million, the gap was almost endless.

Just like that, when being interviewed by the media, you have to smile and congratulate the other person. After all, you are from the same country and you will not cause trouble outside.

Liu Hui felt miserable, feeling like he was being roasted on the fire.

Before coming here, Zhang Bang was completely devastated. Now he has no confidence in whether he can win the award.

Twelve days later, the Cannes Film Festival comes to an end.

The creators of the twenty films in the main competition entered the Festival Palace again. There were not many other links, and the awards ceremony began directly.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it's time for the closing ceremony of our film festival again. Did you guys have fun in Cannes?"

The host spoke enthusiastically on the stage, while the filmmakers waiting for the awards below the stage were a little restless, and everyone was in an excited mood.

But soon, as the awards were announced one by one, everyone's mood gradually calmed down.

Except for Liu Hui and Lu Ruifang, they all accompanied him throughout the whole trip, but they failed to gain anything and were so depressed that they wanted to vomit blood.

Just when everyone thought that Chen Li would win the best screenplay, the award was actually awarded to another film.

This is absolutely shocking!
As we all know, during this period, the most popular of Chen Li's shortlisted films was the best screenplay, because the film itself was supported by exquisite lines and logic, and these contents relied on the script.

A script is a play, but such a good script didn't win an award?

It has to be said that when the awards were announced, there was a bit of commotion in the audience, and voices of confusion came from all directions.

"Isn't that right? Did you see it wrong?"

"Although I wish I could win this award, it's still not as good as Xia Guoren's Pioneer. I don't understand."

"Yeah, it's so strange. The judges this year are not very discerning."

"If it were me, I would definitely give it to Chen Li. I watched that movie and it inspired me a lot."

"Oh, it's a pity."

Everyone couldn't help but sigh with emotion, and domestic netizens who had been squatting in the live broadcast room even scolded her directly.

The annihilation of Liu Hui's army was enough to surprise them, but they didn't expect that Chen Li's movie was not good enough?Can't catch their eyes?
This has to make people wonder. Is there a shady story?However, even if you curse on the Internet, you still can't change the outcome.

After that, Chen Li's second nomination for Best Director was still not him, but a veteran director from the Han Kingdom.

The audience was shocked again!

It wasn't until the other party got the prize and said their words of gratitude that everyone came back to their senses and clapped awkwardly.

This is definitely an upset!

Chen Li's reputation for winning awards has always been high at the film festival. Everyone thought he would win at least one award, but now he doesn't? !

Liu Hui felt very happy, but also a little sad. He couldn't be happy anyway.

Lu Ruifang sighed deeply, feeling a little bored.

Liu Wanxin also looked at the award podium on the stage with complicated eyes. In her opinion, both awards should go to Chen Li.

Wang Anrou was even more indignant and aggrieved, her eyes were red: "It shouldn't be like this!"

Chen Li patted the backs of their hands to comfort them, but said nothing.

On Yingjiang's side, voices of gloating about his misfortune kept coming. Of course, they were happy to see Chen Li fail here.

"He was so noisy in Hollywood before. He probably didn't expect that he wouldn't win a single award."

"Hahaha, you deserve it! How high-profile you were before, how embarrassing now!"

"After all, he has just debuted. It is important for society to teach him a lesson."

Les smiled from ear to ear. When he heard that someone else had won the award, he applauded the loudest and got up to whistle.

This little kid must be dumbfounded.

What a joy.

He poked Andrew next to him with his elbow: "Congratulations first, Mr. Andrew, the next jury award should be your "A Newspaper"!"

Westerners are not in the habit of being modest. Andrew nodded with a smile and said matter-of-factly: "I'll take the stage to receive the award later. I've prepared a few jokes. Please support me more."

Les smiled and said: "It's easy. I will definitely applaud the loudest later!"

"Hey, what a pity for that boy from Xia Guo. The movie is pretty good, so I have to work hard to win the award next time." Andrew shook his head and laughed.

Neither of them mentioned Chen Li's nomination for the Jury Prize.

This award is not something that ordinary people can get, and a newcomer who has just entered the industry can't even think about it. The nomination will probably only give him some encouragement.

really
Just when the jury award was announced, everyone looked at Andrew in unison, and even the live shots were cut over.

This Hollywood director, who has been making movies for half his life, is already arranging his clothes and getting ready to stand up and enjoy the honor and walk onto the stage.

"The winner of the Jury Prize at this year's Cannes Film Festival is..."

""This Man is from Earth", Chen Li!"

boom! ! !
There was a huge wave in everyone's mind, and they were all calmed down.

Andrew, who had already stood up, turned pale, swayed and sat back on his seat.

pain!My chest hurts! !
Les's eyes almost popped out and he almost screamed!

Liu Hui and Lu Ruifang were so shocked that they trembled all over! !

The whole place fell silent, this time I really didn’t expect it! !

After a minute of dead silence, some people came back to their senses and clapped, and then
Thunderous applause! !
