Middle age: leisurely life in the entertainment industry

The first award was the Short Film Palme d'Or, which was awarded to a young French director.

The director was excited and incoherent while holding the trophy. He had forgotten all about the acceptance speech he had written. He just kept saying "merci (thank you), "merci (thank you)" in French.

The guests in the audience all responded with good-natured applause.

It's a great honor to be sitting here, let alone to be on stage to receive the award?

Followed by various awards in the Un Certain Regard unit, the Film Cornerstone Unit, the Golden Camera Award, and the Golden Glasses Award for Best Documentary

Finally, there are the various awards in the main competition unit.

Special Mention Award, Best Actress Award, Best Actor Award.

There were rounds of warm applause, but there was still no award for "Ashes of Time".

According to the unwritten rules of the Cannes Film Festival, a film can only win one award. For example, if this film wins the Best Director Award, it will not be eligible for other awards.

"The following is the jury award, which will be awarded to." The award-winning guest deliberately whetted the audience's appetite and slowly took out the envelope: "The movie "Borm"! We invite the Turkish director Mr. Ejerngeldi!"

Amidst the applause, a man with a beard and a tuxedo stood up and walked towards the podium.

The Grand Prix of the Jury, also known as the Grand Prix of the Jury, is the second prize at the Cannes International Film Festival after the highest award, the Palme d'Or.

Now only the Palme d'Or has not been awarded, and 12 films in the main competition have not won any awards.

This year’s Palme d’Or will be awarded to these 12 films!

After Ejerngeldi finished receiving the award, the theater was temporarily quiet as everyone was waiting for this exciting moment.

In Yanjing, Meimei looked at her mobile phone. Royal TV was broadcasting the Cannes Film Festival Awards Ceremony live.

It's already two o'clock in the morning and everything is completely silent.

Her son was sleeping soundly in the quilt. Meimei gently put her son's legs outside the quilt back into the quilt, turned over again and continued watching the video.

The most exciting moment has arrived, and Meimei feels her heart beating.

Not only did Mei Mingli stay up all night, Li Wan also didn't sleep in a high-end residence outside Xizhimen, Yanjing.

In order not to disturb his wife's rest, he was alone in the study, drinking beer, eating peanuts, and watching videos.

If "Ashes of Time" really wins the Palme d'Or, it will be a highlight in his career.

You must know that the Palme d'Or is different from individual awards such as Best Director and Best Actor, but is awarded to a film.

This is a comprehensive affirmation for producers, directors, actors, etc.!

But, it’s difficult.

Li Wan felt that his heartbeat could slowly speed up.

Yu Dongqing looked at the podium calmly. After a boring chat between the host and the presenter, the presenter slowly opened the last envelope.

The whole place was silent, and everyone's eyes were fixed on this small envelope.

The award guest opened the envelope and looked at it with a hint of surprise on his face, but he quickly returned to normal with a smile.

"This year's Palme d'Or will be awarded to "Ashes of Time" from China! Mr. Yu Dongqing!"

"Wow, Dad won the prize! He won the prize!" Meimei was excited after hearing this and shook her sleeping son awake. Lele looked confused and saw her mother kissing his face hard twice.

"Dad won the prize!" Meiliang said excitedly to her son, then jumped up and danced on the bed.

The son watched all this in horror.

"Mom is crazy. Tell grandma tomorrow."

"I really won the award! And it's the highest Palme d'Or!" Li Wan was so happy that he drank all the beer in the beer can in one breath, quickly took out his mobile phone and opened his Weibo, and wrote excitedly:

“Congratulations to Ashes of Time for winning the Palme d’Or at this year’s Cannes Film Festival! A year of hard work has finally paid off, and we are all cheering for this moment!

Followed by @Yu Dongqing, Mingliang, and several main actors and creative staff.

"Director Yu, we finally won the award!" Several leading actors present were also extremely excited.

Although I didn’t win a single award, this is an honor for everyone.

Yu Dongqing was also a little excited, but after seeing a lot of strong winds and waves, he quickly controlled his emotions, whispered "Thank you everyone", and then walked to the rostrum amidst a round of applause and took the award from the guest. Palme d'Or trophy.

The acceptance speech was naturally a thank you, including to my team, and the focus was of course my lover, Meiliang.

"I would like to especially thank my wife Mingliang. She silently supports and encourages me. She also plays a role in the play and does a great job!"

"My original intention of making this movie was to show our unique Chinese concept and culture - martial arts. I also want more people to understand and understand it. Thank you all."

"Then I would like to ask Mr. Yu Dongqing, will you choose martial arts for your next film? Or will there be more exciting martial arts movies coming to the Cannes Film Festival for everyone to enjoy in the future?" the host asked.

"Oh, I think so. Of course it doesn't have to be me." Yu Dongqing smiled: "As for my next movie - I want to make science fiction."

"Science fiction?!" the host couldn't help but exclaimed.

"From ancient martial arts to future science fiction, the span is really huge!"

"People are constantly challenging themselves, don't you think?"

"Yu Dongqing's "Ashes of Time" won the Palme d'Or at this year's Cannes Film Festival!"

This news quickly became a hot search topic in the domestic entertainment section.

Another thing that follows is: Yu Dongqing has publicly announced that his next film will be a science fiction film!

Immediately, a large number of movie fans flocked to Yu Dongqing's Weibo, asking what kind of science fiction film he was making?

Is it "The Wandering Earth"?

Yu Dongqing answered with one word: yes.

On May 20, Yu Dongqing finally returned to Yanjing after a long journey.

Entering his own courtyard, his son was playing under the wisteria trellis. When he saw Yu Dongqing, he immediately ran over with a smile: "Dad is back."

"Son, dad misses you so much." Yu Dongqing put the suitcase underneath and raised his son high.

It made Lele giggle.

"Dad, Dad, let me tell you a secret from my mother." The son suddenly said in a milky voice.

"What secret?"

"Mom went crazy that night, singing and dancing on the bed, but it scared me!"

"What?" Yu Dongqing hasn't reacted yet.

Then he saw Meili walking out of the living room and scolding his son: "Nonsense! You sleep like a piggy. What do you know?"

"Really, mom and dad even kissed me on the cheek! I yelled." Lele looked serious.

Yu Dongqing finally understood and couldn't help laughing.

"Smile, what's so funny!" Meili rolled her eyes at him.

This time I was embarrassed in front of my son.

"Don't laugh, don't laugh." Yu Dongqing quickly held back.

Only then did Mingliang help carry the suitcase, and Yu Dongqing carried her son into the living room.

"Husband, which "The Wandering Earth" are you going to film soon? It's all spread on the Internet." Mingliang asked again.

"Why are you so anxious? Let's take a good rest for a while. I'll invite a few buddies to go fishing in the next two days!" Yu Dongqing said happily.

After such a busy day, let’s take a rest first.

However, before Yu Dongqing made an appointment with Du Hui and others for fishing, Li Wan came to visit.
