"Director Lin, you won the 'Best Director' award. I hope you have prepared your acceptance speech..."
Wen Ying whispered a reminder to Lin Wenxuan who was in a daze.
Lin Wenxuan's expression was full of confusion: "I won the 'Best Director'?"
"yes!"
Wen Ying's tone changed from teasing to seriousness: "This award should be given to you."
Lin Wenxuan was initially surprised, as he assumed that "Tangli Love" could only win one award, and since he chose to keep the "Best Screenwriter" award, he naturally gave up the "Best Director" competition. This was Lin Wenxuan's own choice, and he had no regrets at all.
After the award list was finalized, the HK actress replied that the jury had given the "Best Screenwriter" award to Wen Ying.
As for "Best Director", the actress did not mention it and Lin Wenxuan did not ask.
The actress deliberately left a big surprise for Lin Wenxuan.
Lin Wenxuan was indeed surprised and happy.
Wen Ying said the award should go to Lin Wenxuan, and he actually thought so too... Lin Wenxuan was incredibly confident in his directing career. He never considered himself any different from the world's top directors, and filming "Tangli Love" even helped him rediscover the humility he had when he first started. Lin Wenxuan, once a master of decision-making, was now open to others' opinions. Wasn't that enough to win the "Best Director" trophy at the Cannes Film Festival?
Lin Wenxuan also didn't have time to say much to Wen Ying. The applause had already rang out several times. If he dragged his feet and didn't go on stage anymore, he would be considered a big shot.
Lin Wenxuan received the "Best Director" trophy from the award presenter. Because the matter was sudden, Lin Wenxuan really did not prepare any acceptance speech.
However, a director like Lin Wenxuan who has seen the world is not afraid of such occasions at all. As long as he wants, he can turn the award ceremony into a personal speech session.
However, Lin Wenxuan did not do that.
Facing a group of guests in the audience, Lin Wenxuan's acceptance speech was very concise and to the point: "A good film is the result of the mutual complementation of the director and all the creative staff. I would like to especially thank the screenwriter Wen Ying. It was she who allowed me to make some new changes during the filming of Tangli Love. I am also very happy that the Cannes Film Festival judges saw these new changes. Learning never stops, and I hope I can bring you another eye-catching work next time!"
Lin Wenxuan raised the trophy after he finished speaking.
The media present captured this scene.
Lin Wenxuan quickly walked off the stage with the trophy.
Yuan Fenghui was very excited and whispered, "It was right not to send out the press release."
If the press release had been issued earlier, wouldn’t we have missed Lin Wenxuan’s acceptance speech?
A good movie is the result of the mutual complementation between the director and all the creative staff.
Lin Wenxuan said it very well.
In particular, Lin Wenxuan thanked Wen Ying individually.
Yuan Fenghui decided to make a change and use "A good movie is the mutual complementation of the director and screenwriter" as the news headline!
Not only Yuan Fenghui was satisfied with this news headline, but Xie Qian was also satisfied.
If Xie Qian wasn't afraid of offending people by being too arrogant, he would think using "Screenwriters are the cornerstone of a good movie's success" as a news headline would be a very good idea.
Lin Wenxuan received the award and walked down the stage. He placed his trophy and Wen Ying's trophy together. He looked at them again and again. It seemed as if these two trophies were meant to be placed together.
"There will definitely be media interviews after the awards ceremony. You and I will be together!"
Wen Ying also thought that the two trophies looked particularly beautiful when placed together.
Lin Wenxuan said that it was her script that made "Tangli Love" successful. Wen Ying knew even better that if Lin Wenxuan was not the director of "Tangli Love", the Cannes Film Festival would not have noticed her as a screenwriter at all.
Talent is talent, but if the platform is not good, there is no place to display the talent!
The famous director and the young screenwriter praised each other, and when their emotions got excited, they both said in unison:
"It would be great if we could work together again someday."
"Let's work together on another movie, a new attempt..."
As soon as these words were spoken, Wen Ying and Lin Wenxuan were stunned.
Yuan Fenghui's eyes lit up, and she immediately wanted to finalize the matter: "As long as you want to cooperate again, Tianjiao will absolutely fully support you!"
"Charles Schwab is willing to invest."
Xie Qian expressed his position.
Mr. Zhang was afraid of being left behind. "Whether it's money or labor, we must count it as a share of Liansheng's!"
With money and labor provided, the new project could be launched immediately after Wen Ying and Lin Wenxuan gave their approval. Despite the favorable conditions, Wen Ying became cautious.
Lin Wenxuan coughed lightly and asked her, "Xiao Wen, what do you think?"
Wen Ying said seriously, "The prerequisite for further cooperation is to have a suitable script. Some scripts are suitable for you, Director Lin, while others are not. I won't waste your energy with a bad script."
Lin Wenxuan felt comfortable.
It is not easy for young people to not be too eager for quick success!
Lin Wenxuan also let Wen Ying know: "I won't be making any more films this year. High-quality output is very exhausting for creators, and I also suggest that you take a break after the Cannes Film Festival. If you have a good script next year, feel free to call me!"
Wen Ying nodded: "I'll take a look at next year's script with you first. If you don't like it, I'll sell it to someone else."
Lin Wenxuan didn't forget to confirm: "...If you sell it to me, will it also cost 5 million?"
Wen Ying said seriously, "If I sell it to you, I'll even charge a symbolic 500 yuan. Is your name not even worth a yuan?"
Hmm.
Although Lin Wenxuan would not be so stingy as to only give 500 yuan, Wen Ying's words sounded pleasant to the ears!
When the "Palme d'Or" was finally presented, Wen Ying and the others were a little excited.
Unfortunately, there was no big surprise this time. Although "Tangli Love" won the Best Screenplay and Best Director awards, it is impossible for it to win the "Palme d'Or".
