Palais des Festivals, Cannes, France.

There are about 700 spectators sitting in the medium-sized awards hall on the second floor, most of them are celebrities and people in the film industry. This number was told to Chen Huansheng by the staff. He is currently sitting in the center of the first floor.

A relatively good location to watch the speeches of people on stage.

This is Chen Huansheng’s second year in Cannes. If it weren’t for his schizophrenia last year, it would be his third time in Cannes this year. This year’s Cannes stage seems to be in the style of hope. Behind the seats of the jury on the right, there are

A huge sculpture of golden ears of wheat. The black stage floor is also painted with patterns of wheat ears, half frosted and half translucent. The wavy strips lined up behind it seem to symbolize the waves of wheat.

The person speaking on the stage now is Shamer Yesyamova, who just won the Best Actress. Many people can’t understand the Russian speech, but the official has issued simultaneous interpretation equipment to everyone, a large

Bluetooth receiver, two headphones. Chen Huansheng is hanging on one now, listening to Shamo Yesyamova's acceptance speech.

The awards ceremony has already gone on for more than half, and there are not many awards left. Chen Huansheng didn't really care about the speech of this new Cannes actress whom he was not very familiar with, but turned to look at Li Cangdong beside him.

Li Cangdong's expression was very calm. The next Best Director Award should be the last award that their "Burning" can win.

Li Cangdong is a very qualified director, not only at home, but also at the Cannes Film Festival. He served as a judge at Cannes in 2009 and 2011, and won the best screenplay in 2010. Although the "Burning" brought this time is mysterious

It felt too heavy, but due to Li Cangdong's past qualifications and the quality of the film itself, Chen Huansheng felt that there was a high probability that he would be able to take the stage.

Shamer Yesyamova's speech ended quickly. The style of today's award recipients seemed to be the same. They were all brief and ended their speeches with a few simple sentences. The host Gebayev began to speak again,

After a few words, Cate Blanchett, the chairman of the jury next to her, stood up with a list in her hand.

"The winner of the Best Director Award at the 71st Cannes Film Festival is, "Cold War", Paweiu Pawlikovsky."

"Why……"

Chen Huansheng sighed immediately, but still stretched out his hand and started applauding. Next to him, Li Cangdong had a simple smile on his face and also applauded in congratulations.

The winner, Paweiu Pawlikovsky, stood up from the crowd and walked slowly towards the stage. Chen Huansheng, who had lost all expectations, turned his head and looked at the second-floor platform behind him. He was sitting in front of the second-floor platform.

Kim Taeyeon seemed to have a tacit understanding, and she looked at Chen Huansheng below at the same time. The two looked at each other, and they both smiled briefly and then looked away.

Chen Huansheng turned his head and looked at the stage, where Paweiu Pawlikovsky was already giving a speech. Chen Huansheng sighed, took off the headphones on his ears, put away the simultaneous interpretation equipment, and whispered softly.

Finished sentence.

"get off work."

"Not yet." Li Cangdong suddenly said in a low voice.

Chen Huansheng turned his head and Li Cangdong was looking at him.

"Isn't there still a best actor?"

"That's definitely none of my business." Chen Huansheng immediately shook his head, "If I come here in a few years, maybe I can think about it."

With that said, Chen Huansheng turned his head and looked in the direction of Kim Taeyeon again. Kim Taeyeon did not look at him this time, while Li Cangdong next to him continued.

"You can't say that. Yuya Yanagi can win the Best Actor Award at the age of fourteen."

"That one..." Chen Huansheng wanted to say that Yura Ryuya had a lot of credit for the subject matter of the script, but he still didn't dare to say it in front of Li Cangdong.

Li Cangdong suddenly turned his head and looked at the second-floor platform behind him. This time Kim Taeyeon looked over. She and Li Cangdong looked at each other, suddenly a little grand, but the middle-aged director smiled kindly.

"Are you already thinking about how to go out to play?" Li Cangdong turned his head, looked at Chen Huansheng, and said with a smile.

"No." Chen Huansheng denied, and then continued in a normal tone, "I just want to look at her from time to time."

"That's great." Li Cangdong said with emotion, with a happy smile on his face, "It's because of her that you overcame the disease, right?"

"Yes." Chen Huansheng nodded, his eyes full of reminiscence. "The confusion between truth and falsehood is really frustrating. Fortunately, she is real."

On the stage, two award-giving guests have changed. They are the famous Italian director Roberto Bernini, and one of the jury members, Ava Duvernay. Roberto Bernini’s speech was accompanied by frequent roll sounds, like

He was so talkative. Chen Huansheng, who was communicating with Li Cangdong, estimated that the simultaneous interpreter couldn't translate his rap-style English, so he simply didn't bother to wear it.

At the jury seat, the chairman of the jury, Cate Blanchett, stood up again, still holding a list of names in her hand. But at this moment, Chen Huansheng's mind was already full of things to come after the meeting, and he turned around to look.

He glanced at Kim Taeyeon who was high up behind him, but the latter was wearing headphones and seemed to be listening carefully.

Chen Huansheng raised his eyebrows and heard Cate Blanchett's standard English pronunciation floating in the hall.

"At the 71st Cannes Film Festival, the winner of the Best Actor is..."Burning", Chen Huansheng!"

"Um?"

Chen Huansheng frowned subconsciously and turned his head left and right. He felt as if his schizophrenia had relapsed and he was hallucinating something abnormal again.

But Li Cangdong, who was always calm next to him, suddenly looked at him excitedly and clapped his hands vigorously. Quan Jongrui, who was just a few steps over, also looked over with excitement and shouted to Oppa loudly.

Chen Huansheng was stunned. It wasn't until everyone around him stood up and looked at him to celebrate and applaud that he stood up in confusion.

"I'm not hallucinating, right?"

Chen Huansheng came close to Li Cangdong's ear and asked seriously.

"No no."

Li Cangdong happily reached out and patted Chen Huansheng on the back and said loudly, "This is true, go up and receive the award!"

Chen Huansheng raised his head and looked at Kim Taeyeon who was high up behind him. His girlfriend was clapping desperately on the spot. Her whole body was full of excitement and she seemed to be jumping up and down in any minute. If the height allowed,

, she might jump down and run to Chen Huansheng.

Chen Huansheng, who finally got over his doubts, stepped out of his seat and walked towards the stage.

The exciting music echoed in the hall, and Chen Huansheng saw Roberto Bernini walking towards him excitedly with his hands raised. After walking onto the stage, Roberto Bernini who came to him immediately talked to him.

He hugged her, put one hand behind her back, and walked with her to the award reception area.

Ava DuVernay, another award presenter, held an exquisitely opened blue flannel square box in her hand, with a small transparent trophy placed inside.

Chen Huansheng stood in front of Ava DuVernay and confirmed again in English, "This is not my illusion."

Ava DuVernay smiled and shook her head, handing the delicate object in her hand to Chen Huansheng, "This is not an illusion, congratulations."

"Thanks."

Chen Huansheng nodded with Ava DuVernay, took the flannel box with the trophy, then turned around and looked at the audience under the stage.

In the first few seconds when he stood here after receiving the trophy, Chen Huansheng was all vain. Only after he calmed down for a while did the sense of reality return to Chen Huansheng's body.

The newly minted actor first looked up at the auditorium on the second floor, and looked at each other for two seconds with a girl who was so happy that she was about to shed tears, and then looked at the others.

"Thank you. Thank you to my "Burning" crew, and thank you to the judges who chose me."

Chen Huansheng said slowly, his eyes moving on Li Cangdong and others, and also looking at the judging panel beside him.

"I am still a very young actor. Before Ms. Blanche read my name, I never thought I would be standing here."

As he spoke, Chen Huansheng's expression calmed down.

"I think the organizers must know, and everyone here may have heard of it. More than a year ago, I was a schizophrenic lunatic, unable to distinguish between fantasy and reality, and walking on the edge of collapse. However, I got

To be saved, by my beloved.”

The graceful light shone on the stage. Chen Huansheng raised the trophy in his hand and pointed it in the direction of Kim Taeyeon. The young man looked at his girlfriend with love.

"Kim Taeyeon!"

With everyone watching, Chen Huansheng shouted to the girl on the second floor platform who was already covering her face and crying.

"When I step onto this stage, the first thing I want to shout out loud is your name!"

Chen Huansheng shook his head slowly, his eyes looking at Kim Taeyeon were still full of love, and his voice began to become deeper.

"It doesn't matter the occasion, fantasy or reality, I want to call out your name! I love you!"

The audience seemed to understand the love story of the young man and woman, and their eyes slowly calmed down, while Chen Huansheng, who was holding the trophy on the stage, kept looking in the direction of Kim Taeyeon.

"Now I am a normal person, but the life after recovery has made me become an extreme materialist. Material has become the basis for my understanding of everything. I am afraid that fantasy will haunt me again. But only for you..."

Chen Huansheng raised his hand and pointed in the direction of Kim Taeyeon.
