Wen Ying is indeed very young.
Born in 1988, she is only 21 years old this year.
The entertainment industry is full of actors and models who become famous in their teens and twenties. With just a pretty face and the right opportunity, young actors and models can easily soar to stardom. However, directors and screenwriters who achieve fame in their early twenties are much rarer. Being a director or screenwriter doesn't rely on looks; talent is revealed through the work itself.
A 21-year-old screenwriter?
Generally, young screenwriters are treated as chores for big screenwriters and do not have the right to credit their work. This is the normal treatment for them.
Want to write a script that will amaze a movie company at the age of 21?
What are you dreaming about!
There are too many talented screenwriters in this industry, and all the major Hollywood film studios have a large pile of scripts that no one is interested in. As long as these film studios are willing, they can always take out a few scripts with similar ideas from their own script inventory and start filming.
Talented screenwriters are lining up to be noticed by major film companies!
A talented screenwriter who still doesn’t have a credit at the age of 21!
Talented screenwriters... well, not all of them are treated like this. The world is so big, there are always a few exceptions, like Wen Ying who is standing on the stage to receive the award.
Screenwriter, best-selling author.
A few jokes from the host made some people at the award ceremony match Wen Ying's two identities.
Wen Ying is not only the screenwriter of "Tangli Love", but also the screenwriter of "Shendu Youth Journey" which was recently screened in Cannes. I heard that many film producers have taken a fancy to the latter and want to buy the copyright for global release!
And the best-selling book mentioned by the host has indeed been very popular recently. Industry insiders attending the Cannes Film Festival all received free copies.
Some people didn't take it seriously, but some people read it to the end.
If the price is right, it is not impossible to buy the copyright of that book.
Whether to adapt it is not something that can be decided at the moment, because "Xun Yong" has just become popular, and it is relatively cheap to buy the copyright now!
Someone has already planned to talk to Wen Ying about "Xun Yong" after the award ceremony.
Wen Ying didn't know what the guests were thinking, she stood on the stage amid applause.
The person who presented the award to Wen Ying was the only Chinese actress on this year's Cannes jury.
"Congratulations, you're amazing!"
The actress has a slim figure and graceful demeanor.
This is the face Wen Ying often sees in movies.
In the movie, Wen Ying only thought the other person was beautiful, but when she met her in person, she found that she was even more charming than in the movie. The impact of close contact with the beauty made Wen Ying dizzy.
"Thanks……"
Wen Ying took the trophy from the actress, and she was not only thanking her for being the guest presenting the trophy.
Although Lin Wenxuan did not say it explicitly, he was the only Chinese judge on the jury of this year's Cannes Film Festival. Wen Ying could naturally guess what approach Lin Wenxuan took in public relations!
The actress smiled and said, "You're welcome. This is an award you won based on your own strength."
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the two could only speak briefly. After presenting the trophy, the actress gave Wen Ying a hug and left the stage. Wen Ying stood on the stage holding the trophy.
The host asked her: "Have you prepared an acceptance speech?"
Of course I prepared an acceptance speech.
Wen Ying's gaze fell on the stage. She saw Lin Wenxuan, Guan Lingbo, and Yuan Fenghui... It was not until she saw Xie Qian that she felt that this moment was real and not a dream.
“This is just the beginning.”
Wen Ying raised the trophy in one hand and grabbed the microphone in the other: "I believe I can always write good stories!"
"Wow~~~"
The host said in an exaggerated tone, "Is the 'Best Screenwriter' award at the Cannes Film Festival just the beginning for you?"
Wen Ying nodded heavily: "Yes, it's just the beginning. Thank you to the jury for recognizing me. I will write better scripts in the future. I think this will be worthy of the jury awarding me the 'Best Screenwriter', right?"
Chinese people generally like to be reserved and modest, but this is obviously not appropriate at the Cannes Film Festival.
Wen Ying's acceptance speech was simple and straightforward, earning her rounds of applause.
In particular, the Hong Kong actress who was the award presenter turned to the chairperson of the jury and said with a smile, "Look, she understands our intentions!"
The HK actress put a lot of thought into winning the "Best Screenwriter" award for Wen Ying.
One judge felt that the award should be given to someone else, so the actress invited all the judges to watch "Shendu Youth".
The 21-year-old deserves encouragement.
If it is said that because Wen Ying is not only a screenwriter but also a best-selling author, and because she is rich and young, she does not need award encouragement... wouldn't that be the greatest injustice?
"The essence of a film festival is film. We should select excellent works and give them recognition, rather than select less excellent works to 'poverty alleviation'!"
The HK actress said calmly.
The work of poverty alleviation should be left to charitable foundations.
Whether a screenwriter is poor or not should not be the primary consideration of the organizers of the Cannes Film Festival.
Whether the screenwriter is talented or not is more important to the Cannes Film Festival.
After watching "The Young Man in the Capital of Gods," a Hong Kong actress asked the other judges, "With her talent, even if she doesn't win the Best Screenplay award at the Cannes Film Festival this year, she might win a related award at the Venice or Berlin Film Festival next year. She was clearly nominated by the Cannes Film Festival first, and she could clearly be known to the world through the Cannes Film Festival. Why should we leave that opportunity to other film festivals?"
It was this passage that convinced all the judges.
Wen Ying is not only talented but also has strong public relations skills. If such a young person wants to win a prestigious award, if he misses Cannes, he will continue to look for opportunities at film festivals such as Venice and Berlin.
