Chapter 101: Creating Another Great Achievement

A large number of posts appeared on Tianya Community instantly, none of which had much gold content, but the "mother content" was quite high.

"I fucking can't believe it, Cao Yang really fucking did it. Three films, three Best Actresses at the three major European film festivals. This is fucking a miracle, god-like."

"It's fucking god-like. The key is that the actors Cao Yang chose are not known for their acting skills. The gold content in this is huge."

"This is the first Cannes Best Actress in the country, a zero breakthrough. Cao Yang is really awesome."

"Even a 'kissing' girl can win Cannes Best Actress. Cao Yang's ability to coach actors has been verified again. It is said that this is still a romance film. When the time comes, I must go and see it. Even a romance film can fucking win Best Actress. If there is no perverted content, I don't believe it."

"The person above is right. With the taste of the Europeans, how could a normal romance film win an award? There must be some 18+ content. I'll go and observe it when the time comes."

"The film is called 'Secret Sunshine', it sounds very sweet. Damn, won't there be a lesbian love triangle? I suddenly got excited, feeling that the answer is not far away. It's really possible. Only such a film can fit the taste of the jury."

"Don't say it, you really shouldn't say it. I think the prediction above makes some sense. The woman is married and fell in love with another woman? Look, must go and see it."

"The person above obviously has no brain. Gao Yuanyuan won Cannes Best Actress, it must be female-female."

"Since we are talking about this, I will ask one question: why can't it be that the woman fell in love with this married couple at the same time? Three people... thinking about it is exciting."

"A bunch of perverts above."

Discussing it and going off-topic is very normal. Male-female-male, female-female-male, etc., how interesting it is to discuss.

The internet is not a place outside the law, but it is a moral lowland.

Gao Yuanyuan hugged Wu Qihua ritualistically again, and while applauding, she kept bowing slightly to the surrounding crowd who were congratulating her, and walked toward the stage with light steps.

Today, she wore a fishtail waist-sealing dress, showing off her advantages just right. The fishbone waist seal and the regular cross-section dress stacking made her figure perfectly presented. The fishtail design made her walk swayingly, bright and atmospheric.

Receiving the trophy and certificate with Golden Palm leaves from the award presenter, Gao Yuanyuan hugged the female guest and said some words of thanks.

Although Cannes is not like Berlin and Venice, which have Silver Bears and Silver Lions, Cannes also has trophies, and there is a golden palm leaf sealed inside.

"As an actress, being able to win such an honor on this stage is my greatest honor and pride.

I know the weight and significance of this award. I want to express my most heartfelt thanks to the jury, thank Cannes, thank the people who have helped me, and thank all the staff of the crew.

Finally, thank my parents, thank the angel who pulled me out of the abyss of the quagmire. You will always be that ray of light in my heart, Cao Yang, thank you."

"Clap clap clap..."

The applause rang out. This kind of words of gratitude to the director on the award stage is very common, nothing to be surprised about.

Although he had expected it, Wu Qihua was still very envious and admired her. He envied Gao Yuanyuan for winning Cannes Best Actress and admired Cao Dao for once again producing an international Best Actress.

Cao Dao is really amazing, having cleared the three major European film festivals.

Three films, producing a Berlin Best Actress, a Venice Best Actress, and a Cannes Best Actress. Who else can compare to this achievement?

It's not about the awards, but the significance it represents.

After Gao Yuanyuan returned to her seat, Cao Yang teased softly: "Congratulations, you are now an international Best Actress, a true international big star."

Gao Yuanyuan smiled from ear to ear and whispered: "I'll thank you properly when I go back."

Then she asked softly: "Is it possible for us to win another major award? Is the Palme d'Or possible?" You really dare to think.

"Don't even think about the Palme d'Or. This year there is a World War II film, describing the story of a pianist and the Nazis. As long as the quality of this kind of film is passable, whether it is in Cannes, France, or Berlin, Germany, it can almost be scheduled for the highest award. This is the greatest political correctness."

Cao Yang explained softly while taking the opportunity to take Gao Yuanyuan's trophy.

"Oh."

Gao Yuanyuan was a little disappointed. She felt that with Cao Yang's talent and the quality of "Secret Sunshine", they should give Cao Yang a Palme d'Or to be fair.

Cao Yang didn't know what Gao Yuanyuan was thinking. His words were actually not finished. The Palme d'Or was impossible, but there was still some hope for other awards.

The overall quality of "Secret Sunshine" was good, and it discussed the topic of human nature, which is easy to win awards for. It also involved religious content, and it was a female film. It can be said that it stacked many award-winning buffs.

Once, South Korea's Lee Chang-dong could produce a Cannes Best Actress with this film. In terms of connections and status, he was far worse than the current Cao Yang.

Cao Yang is a Golden Lion director and has so much help. If Cannes wants to be on good terms with him, at least they will give another major award.

During this period, Best Actor was awarded to the male lead of a Belgian film, Olivier Gourmet.

!

The next award presented was the Best Screenplay award. This was the award Cao Yang thought he might win, but it was given to Paul Laverty of the British film "Sweet Sixteen".

Next, the award presenter went on stage and rambled a few words about the importance of a director in a film, and everyone knew that Best Director was about to be awarded.

Cao Yang sat upright. Compared to the Jury Prize, he wanted this one more now.

In the hearts of the general public in the country, if you say you have won the Venice Golden Lion, they might be a little confused. You have to explain that the Golden Lion is the Best Film of the Venice Film Festival. They might just say "oh oh" and nod to show they understand.

If you say you have won the Berlin Jury Prize, they will be confused again. How to explain this? Second best film? Second only to the Best Film? It's not very classy at all.

If it's Best Director, you don't even need to open your mouth. It's simple, clear, and classy.

"Does this award have..."

Before Gao Yuanyuan finished speaking, she heard the award presenter read: "... Cao Yang, 'Secret Sunshine'..."

The applause rang out. Gao Yuanyuan widened her eyes in surprise, full of excitement.

The award presenter continued to read: "and Paul Thomas Anderson, 'Punch-Drunk Love', congratulations."

Well, Cannes had another double-yolk egg.

But it doesn't matter. As long as you can win an award, no one cares about this. Now Cannes' class is still high enough.

Cao Yang stood up and hugged Gao Yuanyuan.

"Congratulations, my Best Director." Gao Yuanyuan whispered in Cao Yang's ear.

Wu Qihua was also very happy, hugged Cao Yang, and said, "Congratulations, Cao Dao."

Cao Yang winning Cannes Best Director, Wu Qihua can also benefit. Although he didn't win an award, as the male lead, he can brag about being nominated for Cannes Best Actor when he goes back.

The film also won Best Director and Best Actress. The most intuitive benefit is: he can fucking raise his salary again. This time it is estimated that it can double again. It is not too much to quote three million externally.
