"I hope you'll vote for 'Best Screenwriter,' and if you can persuade others to vote as well, that would be even better."
Lin Wenxuan spoke clearly and did not sound confused.
The actress was momentarily stunned, then thought she had read Lin Wenxuan's mind. "You think 'Tangli Love' has a better chance of winning 'Best Screenplay', right? Actually, with your abilities, you could easily win the Palme d'Or. However, the Palme d'Or is a big deal, and the judges all have their own opinions. It's not up to me to decide whether or not you win. But for 'Best Director,' I don't think the other judges would object."
——Director Lin is good in every way, except that he is too modest!
Seeing that the actress had indeed misunderstood, Lin Wenxuan could only speak frankly: "No, what I want most this time is the 'Best Screenwriter' award. I will secure the 'Best Screenwriter' award first and then fight for the 'Best Director' award. If I can only choose one of the two, I will strive for the 'Best Screenwriter' award!"
The actress couldn't understand why Lin Wenxuan made this choice.
However, this was Lin Wenxuan's wish, and the actress expressed her respect.
"If it's just 'Best Screenwriter', I can guarantee you right now... I'm at least 90% sure!"
Before the award ceremony, the actress was afraid that things might change, so she left room for maneuver and did not say that she was 100% sure.
Lin Wenxuan expressed his gratitude to the actress, who said it was her honor to help Lin Wenxuan.
The actress felt it was a good deal to win Lin Wenxuan's favor by winning a not-so-important award.
Not only the actress couldn't understand Lin Wenxuan's decision, but even the assistant around him couldn't understand it.
In order to help Wen Ying win the "Best Screenwriter" award, Director Lin doesn't even care whether he can win the award himself?
The assistant tried desperately to recall, trying to find similarities between Wen Ying and Lin Wenxuan in appearance and temperament... Not at all alike, Wen Ying shouldn't be Director Lin's illegitimate daughter!
Lin Wenxuan glanced at his assistant and said, "Please put away your whimsical expression. Are you confused as to why I'm focusing my PR efforts on the 'Best Screenwriter' award?"
The assistant, of course, refused to admit that she was just imagining things. "I just think it's a shame you didn't win an award. Forget Best Director. With your ability, you should have won the Palme d'Or long ago!"
The assistant said this was not a compliment. People who worked with Lin Wenxuan did have such confidence.
Lin Wenxuan actually thought so before.
It is only a matter of time for Lin Wenxuan to win the grand slam of the highest awards at the three major European film festivals!
In "Tangli Love", Wen Ying and Lin Wenxuan had a disagreement over the script. Later, it was proved that Wen Ying was right. Lin Wenxuan therefore re-examined himself: Am I really as good as everyone says?
——If I really have some shortcomings, then the so-called Grand Slam of the highest awards at the three major film festivals is nothing more than a nice-sounding empty title!
If Lin Wenxuan were to give an objective evaluation himself, he would say that "Tangli Love" was still a little short of winning the Palme d'Or.
If you are not good enough but still try to get in, even if you win the award, people will criticize you for being a fake who got the award through PR!
After careful consideration, Lin Wenxuan gave up the idea of promoting the "Golden Palm Award" for "Tangli Love".
As for whether or not to win the "Best Director" award, Lin Wenxuan smiled and asked his assistant, "Do you think I still lack a "Best Director" trophy?"
The assistant thought about it carefully and whispered, "Of course you don't need a trophy, but who would think they have too many awards..."
Lin Wenxuan knew that his assistant hadn't figured it out yet.
"Winning the 'Best Director' award is another trophy for me. The media and the public won't be surprised. They, like you, think it's natural for me to win the 'Best Director' award. Unless 'Tangli Love' can win the 'Palme d'Or', allowing me to complete the Grand Slam of the top awards at the three major European film festivals, the media and the public will be excited! Based on the current situation, the possibility of 'Tangli Love' winning the 'Palme d'Or' is very small. Instead of forcing the 'Palme d'Or' to be publicized, it is better to concentrate resources on letting 'Tangli Love' win the 'Best Screenwriter' award! Under normal circumstances, the media and audiences don't care who the screenwriter of a movie is, but we are in an abnormal situation now."
The so-called abnormal state is Wen Ying.
Wen Ying is the screenwriter of "Tangli Love".
She is a novelist, but her fame and popularity are even higher than many celebrities.
Anyway, the male and female protagonists of "Tangli Love" tied together are not as good as a fraction of Wen Ying.
Wen Ying is currently receiving a lot of attention because of the huge sales of her book "Looking for Yong" in the European and American book markets. Now when the news comes that she has won the "Best Screenplay" award at the Cannes Film Festival, her supporters and the media will go crazy!
Everyone was numb to Lin Wenxuan winning the "Best Director" award, mainly because Lin Wenxuan had won many awards of the same level before.
Wen Ying doesn’t have it!
She is so young and so popular.
Since she became famous, she has been questioned for her commercial writing model.
When her commercial writing achievements reached new heights, she received an award from the Cannes Film Festival. For her personally, this was the best response to the doubts, and it was also a great promotion for the movie "Tangli Love"!
Lin Wenxuan concluded: "So you see, I'm not just helping Xiao Wen, I have selfish motives."
The assistant suddenly understood and was convinced: "Most people only see your directing skills, but in business operations, you are also a king!"
This time Lin Wenxuan did not refute the assistant.
The assistant complimented him by calling him a king, but Lin Wenxuan did understand a little bit about the business operation model.
How could a director who doesn't understand any of this win so many awards and achieve such success at the box office?
Directors who don't understand any of this are still struggling in low-budget movies, complaining about their lack of recognition!
