Chapter 254
Cannes Best Actress
On the closing day of the Cannes awards ceremony, Ling Suisui and the crew walked the red carpet again.
The dress she wore today was specially made by the LV design director. This did not mean modifying a few elements from past works, but tailoring it for her from scratch.
This kind of treatment even exceeds that of haute couture. Fashion bloggers on Weibo are very active in popularizing the knowledge, but Sui Si is not very interested.
Other pollens said sourly that they now have very high standards and would not look down on such trivial things as "fashion treatment"!
After all, Ling Sui's work was shortlisted for the main competition in Cannes, and he hasn't returned to China yet, so he must attend the awards ceremony. The focus of the young girls is on the awards, and clothes are just extras.
Actors still have to speak through their works. Those who don’t like to brag about their works can only blame themselves for not having enough work to show off.
Fans and bystanders were looking for places to watch the live broadcast, but were blocked by French language, so they could only wait for the latest news from movie bloggers.
The awards ceremony in the main competition unit starts with the Golden Camera Award, and the Palme d'Or, as the highest award, is often saved for last.
For the main creative staff of the crew who attended the award ceremony, they were eager to hear the news that "The Worry-Free Hero" won the award, but they also hoped that the news would come a little later.
When the moment came to announce the Best Actress, Ling Sui was in a very conflicted mood. She knew that many cameras were pointed at her, or to put it more romantically, this was the camera's preference.
She maintained a decent smile, waiting for the good news that might come.
"Let us reveal the winner of the Best Actress award - Ling Suisui from the crew of 'The Great Warrior', congratulations!"
The audience burst into warm applause and Ling Suisui stood up amid the cheers.
She looked at Director Pei, he smiled and said to her: "Go, you deserve it."
It only takes a few steps from the audience seats to the podium.
But in order to complete "The Great Swordsman", Ling Suisui made a lot of efforts behind the scenes.
The countless days and nights spent pondering over the role, the exhaustion of attending every discussion meeting, the bruises from falling and fighting in the training room, and the pursuit of perfection in every scene...
Ling Sui seldom promotes how dedicated she is or how much hardship she has endured while filming, but that doesn't mean she hasn't experienced these things.
The award for "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" is the Best Actress, which is pretty good news for the crew. It’s a good thing to gain something. You don’t have to return home empty-handed. After all, there are so many movies running alongside.
If you ask me if there are any regrets about not winning the Palme d'Or, there are definitely some. But Pei Xuehai accepted the result and believed that Ling Sui's performance deserved such honor.
Ling Suisui walked up the stairs and onto the stage. She hugged the award presenter in front of the camera and looked at the trophy that belonged to her.
The trophy of the Cannes Film Festival is not in the shape of a golden man, but is made of colorless and transparent quartz with pure silver palm leaves inlaid on it. The trophy was placed in an unfolded box. Ling Sui took it solemnly and showed it to the camera.
At this moment, the audience burst into warm applause again. The Cannes Film Festival is a place where applause is everywhere and everyone loves to applaud. When Ling Suisui stood in the center of the stage, he could truly feel everyone's respect and love for "The Worry-Free Hero".
Her eyes were a little moist.
Twenty-seven-year-old Ling Sui no longer feels nervous when she goes on stage to receive an award. If Teacher Tang Bing was also watching the live broadcast, she would definitely not find anything to tease her about.
If recording variety shows is taken as the starting point, this is her tenth year since her debut. She became more and more calm and more and more accustomed to enjoying flowers and applause as a winner.
Ling Suisui gave a speech: "I am very grateful to the jury for their recognition of me, and I am also grateful to all the members of the crew of The Great Warrior for their efforts. My teacher Tang Bing once asked me why I wanted to be an actor. My answer was that I hope to experience different lives through my roles and increase my understanding of the world and the world's understanding of me."
"Whether I hold this trophy in my hand or in my heart, it carries a lot of weight. It is an important milestone in my acting career, and I will continue to move forward with it. Thank you Cannes, thank you tonight, and thank you to everyone here. I am the Chinese actor Ling Suisui."
She bowed to the audience and many people stood up and applauded her. Xia Tian and Ji Zhaoying were shouting and taking photos excitedly in the audience. When the camera came over, they were still making heart shapes with their hands frantically to express their excitement at the moment.
"That's amazing!" Ji Zhaoying held her arm and shook it. "You were so beautiful on the stage just now that you looked like a goddess descending from heaven. It felt like your whole body was shining! Did you bribe the lighting technician to add special effects to you? Why do I feel like you are so beautiful that you are not as beautiful as ordinary people?"
Xia Tian: "It should be the bonus brought by your temperament. You are really shining like a star now, and your popularity is nourishing people."
Ling Suisui was still grinning, and despite being teased by the two men, she found it difficult to suppress the corners of her mouth.
Ji Zhaoying carefully opened the box and gently touched the trophy. Quartz feels cold to the touch, but the meaning the trophy symbolizes is hot.
"My aunt has never won one," she said enviously. "She has also been to Cannes, but her work was only shortlisted. Congratulations, you will be a well-known actress in the future."
Ling Suisui: "Too exaggerated, this title still carries some marks of the times, I am just a junior."
Moreover, the scope of application of these titles is only the fan circle, so she doesn't need to care so much about the evaluation system set by others.
The creators of "The Great Swordsman" sat through it until the very end, and there was no exception in waiting for a work to win multiple awards. Although we were mentally prepared for this, everyone still felt a little disappointed after the film that won the Palme d'Or was announced.
Pei Xuehai said, "I'll treat you tonight and hold a celebration party for Xiao Ling. Twenty films were shortlisted, and there were only seven awards in the main competition. She brought honor to us. If it weren't for her, we would have won nothing."
The director wants to treat us, that’s great.
The creators walked out while discussing which restaurant to go to. Ling Sui was surrounded by everyone, and looked like the moon surrounded by stars.
Many people greeted her along the way, and Ling Sui stopped to chat with them. Among them, Sinclair, winner of the Best Director Award, also stopped in front of her.
"Your performance was excellent," he praised. "I can almost imagine what words the judges will use to praise you. They must have racked their brains, tried their best, and exhausted all the English vocabulary they could think of."
Ling Sui was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. Do all Americans speak in such an exaggerated way?
She thanked Sinclair for his recognition and then exchanged contact information with him. Regarding the olive branch of cooperation he extended, Ling Sui chose to wait and see.
After all, Sinclair was still upset about not winning the Palme d'Or. Next year and the year after, he will probably continue to work tirelessly towards this goal until he achieves his wish.
Directors who are obsessed with art awards are somewhat arrogant, especially Sinclair. Even in front of Pei Xuehai, he started to criticize the other party's camera language. Even if he didn't say it explicitly, he made it very clear that "if I were to direct Ling Suisui, the final result would definitely be better."
Pei Xuehai chuckled twice. Sinclair was only in his forties, still an energetic middle-aged man. He seemed to be keen on being a father to others, but he was no longer at the age where he liked to quarrel.
His life experience told him that it is extremely difficult to convince others about things that are highly subjective.
Ling Suisui had to take on the job of a respectable person and bid farewell to Director Sinclair politely.
It is undeniable that Sinclair is indeed a very talented director, otherwise he would not have won the Best Director Award despite having a grudge against four judges - this gossip was shared by Ji Zhaoying.
You know, there are only nine people on the jury!
But Ling Suisui felt that it would be better to forget about cooperating with him because he was too strong, and so was she.
She could even imagine how fierce the argument would be if they had disagreements on the set. Pei Xuehai is willing to take a step back, but Sinclair definitely won't.
Thinking of this, Ling Sui felt a little regretful. Why can't Sinclair's character be better?
However, she changed her mind and felt that she was being a bit hypocritical. After all, in the eyes of many directors, she is the type that is difficult to approach.
But that doesn’t mean there is no room for cooperation...there are still three contracted actors in her company. If that doesn't work, there are many young actors in the domestic entertainment industry who are looking forward to her making connections.
With the resources she has at her disposal, she has become a very important connection in the eyes of many people.
Ling Sui was thinking about these things and for a moment neglected to announce the good news on social media platforms.
After the news of her winning the Best Actress Award at Cannes spread back to China, it sparked a heated discussion online.
Among them, the hot search #Ling Sui Sui Cannes Best Actress# was followed by a deep red word "explosion". Movie bloggers were congratulating and explaining the value of the award, passers-by were sighing that Ling Sui Sui was really amazing, and fans were howling and going crazy.
Please forgive Sui Si for only being able to type out a long string of ahh ...
That's Cannes, the best actress in Cannes! And it is the most important and valuable main competition unit in Cannes! The resumes of many big stars stop at nominations, but Ling Sui won the trophy!
Ling Sui's eyes were just wet at the award ceremony, but she held back her tears and didn't let them fall. Many fans do not have such strong emotional control. They frantically pressed tearful emojis in front of the screen, and their tears also dripped onto their phones.
There is a website called "岁岁平安" that posted more than a dozen posts in the super topic, and all the comments below were people crying with her. This Ping An sister has been in the industry for a very long time and is the most experienced among the old fans. Her experience can even be traced back to when Ling Sui was filming "Ding Feng Bo", which was Ling Sui's first film and television role.
"Sui Sui Ping An" has produced many amazing photos for Ling Sui, but for Sister Ping An herself, nothing can make her more excited and happy than today's award-winning photos from Cannes.
[It is a great blessing to like Ling Suisui. I have witnessed her progress from a marginal position when the crew started filming to the center of the podium in Cannes; from an unknown supporting role to a big star with influence all over the world. Her excellence always exceeds my imagination.
My wife, my darling, Ling Suisui, who makes me feel proud whenever I mention your name, please continue to break through yourself and move towards a more distant future. 】
The author has something to say:
*In fact, the author is not sure whether the Cannes Best Actress trophy is inlaid with sterling silver palm leaves, but the only information I found is the Palme d'Or, which is inlaid with gold leaves. The pictures of the actress trophy on the Internet look quite white. Considering that the Venice Film Festival has two awards, the Golden Bear and the Silver Bear, let’s assume that the Cannes one is also made of silver (to the finger)
