Alive, he was well received at the Cannes Film Festival, and he entered the field of vision of reporters with his superb performance, and a French journalist conducted an interview with him.
Foreign filmmakers are not familiar with this actor from China.
The characters portrayed by Ge You in the movie are bitter and embarrassed, with a helpless calmness and open-mindedness to the changes in life.
In reality, he feels humorous and funny, and there is a lot of contrast between the play and the play.
Ge You is not like some actors who try to hide their shortcomings when they are interviewed, and only talk about the glamorous side, he is more realistic, he will say whatever the reporter asks, and he feels that everything must be said to others.
Of course, he won't talk about things that involve privacy, and he won't talk about topics that are too sensitive, he just talks about his own business.
In order to gain a topic, some foreign journalists will lure Chinese actors to say something against China.
Ge You's reality made the translator from Xiangjiang on the side a little stunned, and he didn't know whether he should translate truthfully.
For example, the reporter asked Ge You about his acting experience.
Ge You was responsible for feeding pigs in the commune before entering the showbiz, and later in the Kaowen Art Troupe, the sketch he performed during the interview was called feeding the pigs, and the examiner felt that Ge You's performance was very good and had a breath of life.
In this way, he entered the showbiz and ran for ten years.
The translator knew everything about Ge You, and added a sentence when translating that Ge You was born in an artistic family, his father was a famous Chinese actor, and his mother was a film literature editor.
With this in mind, Geyou's image instantly rose countless notches in the eyes of French journalists.
Raising pigs or something is definitely experiencing life, which is very normal for actors.
In addition to Ge You, foreign filmmakers have also become interested in living original novels.
When the film is screened, a line of words will appear at the beginning of the film, "Adapted from Lin Zixuan's novel alive", and there is a supplement below "Originally published in the fourth issue of Hundred Flowers Magazine in 92".
When many foreigners saw this, they asked the living investors about the publication status of the novel.
When they learned that there was no foreign language version for their lives, they expressed their surprise and felt that such an excellent novel should be translated and introduced to the West for Western readers to see.
Zhang Yimou's film has invisibly brought international attention to the novel Alive.
A French investor named Jean Louis is going to China to discuss the preparation of the new film with Zhang Yimou, and he wants to meet the living author of the original book in Beijing, hoping to be introduced.
This is Zhang Yimou's influence, even if he stays at home, foreign investors will come to him to invest.
After all the disturbances, the Cannes Film Festival is coming to an end, and the last two days are the time for the awards.
Ge You asked someone to inquire that the subsidiary unit of the film festival "A Kind of Attention" would present the awards a day earlier, and although he felt that the documentary had little hope, he still arrived at the award ceremony.
The films in this section are all niche works, or avant-garde experimental films.
Most of the people who shoot this kind of film are novice directors who are just starting out in the industry, and this is their first film, these people have ideas, don't follow the crowd, show their personality, and focus on marginal themes.
For example, homosexuality, polyamorous emotional entanglements, violence, the survival of marginalized people, and so on.
Niche means non-mainstream, and that's what pays attention to the films in this section.
The award ceremony was held in the Desippy Hall of the Palais de Cannes, and there were many media reporters, mostly young people present, and some people whistled during the award ceremony.
Everyone was more relaxed and there was no tension.
Ge You is a little unaccustomed to it, and feels that it is too different from the award ceremony in China, and this time he went abroad to see the bohemian side of foreign literary and art workers.
Just as he was thinking wildly, he saw a picture of the capital appear on a screen in front of him.
This picture is so familiar to him that he can't help but feel refreshed.
The screen played a footage of the windy capital, Lin Xiaoling running in the ancient capital, as if chasing something, and also like racing against time.
Let the audience feel that this ancient oriental country is changing rapidly, running, and catching up.
At this time, the judges of a kind of attention unit announced the results, and the documentary Beijing won the Best Director Award.
The award in this unit is Best Picture, and Best Director is not bad.
The translator who came with Ge You was very excited, this translator was from Xiangjiang, and his Mandarin was not very standard, so he pushed Ge You and motioned for Ge You to go up and accept the award.
This certainly bodes well for them to achieve something tomorrow in the main competition as well.
Xiangjiang people believe in this, which is called good luck.
After receiving the award and going back, the living investors are very happy, how to say that this is also an honor for the Chinese, they hope that Ge You will win another award tomorrow, so that the overseas copyright of the living will sell better.
Ge You smiled, speechless, of course he wanted to win the award, but he was not sure.
The next day, he wore a suit and bow tie and attended the award ceremony of the main competition unit with Gong Li, who was wearing a cheongsam.
He was in a good mood, not in a hurry or impatient, and felt that he was finally going to be done, and he would have to make a movie when he went back.
He didn't understand the award ceremony, so he applauded with others, as long as he didn't make a mistake, he was actually deserting ideologically.
Therefore, when the host on the stage announced the Best Actor, Ge You didn't react, mainly because the French pronunciation was strange, and he didn't hear it was his name.

Gong Li, who was next to him, congratulated him, and the investors wanted to hug him, and Ge You realized that he had won the award.
He knew that he was ready to give his acceptance speech, and this idea popped into his mind.
Ge You came to the stage in a daze, thinking that the foreigner didn't know what he was talking about anyway, so he thanked him indiscriminately.
In this way, he became the first Chinese actor at the Cannes Film Festival.
Next, Alive also won a Grand Jury Prize, which is not the highest prize at the Cannes Film Festival.
At the end of the award ceremony, the investors were very excited and opened champagne in the hotel to celebrate, and Ge You accompanied them for a while.
Back in his room, he decided to have a luxury and use the hotel phone to make an international call, he first called home, shared the joy with his wife, and then called Lin Zixuan.
At this time, it was almost dawn in the capital, and Lin Zixuan was woken up by the ringing of the phone.
He answered the phone and chatted with Ge You, and he could hear that Ge You might have drunk too much, moved his feelings, was a little nagging, and said a lot of things that he would not normally say.
"Brother You won the Best Actor in Cannes."
Hanging up the phone, Lin Zixuan said to Mu Shanshan, who was woken up.
"You don't seem surprised at all."
Mu Shanshan said strangely.
"I believe in Brother You's strength, he played really well in this film, and he deserves to be the best actor."
Lin Zixuan praised. t1706231537:
