One person started shouting, then everyone else joined in.
"Wu!"
"Wu!"
At first, the shouts were sowhat uncoordinated, but gradually they beca more synchronized, leaving only a sound that shook the exhibition hall.
Then, as they continued shouting, soone started to applaud, and everyone began clapping again.
Lin Qingyue smiled, pulling Wu Mu to stand up.
Seeing the male and female leads appear, the applause grew even more intense, accompanied by everyone’s cheers.
Those nearby ca rushing over, wanting to shake hands and hug, thanking him for contributing such an excellent film.
The scene was unusually warm and chaotic.
Down below, Li Man was watching, gripping the microphone tightly in excitent.
No film’s premiere, not even "Great Yangtze River," had such an enthusiastic scene.
This is perfect material.
And with such a warm response... could there really be a chance of winning an award?
She keenly noticed that it wasn’t just the ordinary audience mbers who were excited; the reactions from the renowned filmmakers around were also significant.
For instance, the French filmmaker Elsa, who was a jury mber last ti, was crying so dramatically that she couldn’t stop sobbing, covering her mouth with her hand.
She also squeezed over to Wu Mu’s side, expressing her love with a hug, "Wu, forgive my excitent, your film reminded of my past regrets in love, making relive my own life again."
And then there was the chairman of the jury, the old man Matthew Albert, who also looked quite excited, "A very good love story, pure yet full of regret."
The passionate scene, along with applause and cheers, continued for several more minutes until the staff handed Wu Mu and his team a microphone, indicating it was the creative team’s ti to go on stage, and the hall gradually quieted down.
The microphone was initially handed to the director Lin Qingyue, but after taking it, she directly passed it to Wu Mu, whom everyone was more focused on, intending for him to speak first.
Wu Mu initially didn’t take it, but seeing her insist, he simply picked it up, "Thank you all very much for the applause, but I think compared to , everyone should be shouting for our director, who made such an amazing film. Oh, maybe you’re not familiar with our director’s na—Lin!"
The audience was taken aback, then burst into laughter, obligingly following by shouting "Lin."
Lin Qingyue looked at the microphone Wu Mu handed back and chuckled, unable to help but pat him.
The sharp-eyed audience nearby noticed an underlying aning and couldn’t help asking, "Xiao Li, are you and Wu a couple?"
The reference was to Lin Qingyue’s na in the movie, but she understood the implication, nodded with a smile holding the microphone, "Yes."
This response undeniably sparked a wave of exclamations.
Just monts ago, they had been heartbroken over the missed love in the movie, and it turned out the two hadn’t missed each other in reality?
The previously suffocating sadness suddenly seed much alleviated.
....
Wu Mu and the others were still engaging with the audience inside.
And, naturally, their premiere performance had already been communicated back to so dostic dia present on-site.
For instance, the producer of the Movie Channel, Ding Yan, received Li Man and the others’ ssage promptly.
"Wu Mu’s movie premiere at Cannes was explosive?"
Ding Yan looked at the title of the brief sent by Li Man, and was montarily stunned.
Then he checked the specific content.
"After the movie premiere, the audience conducted over eight minutes of applause and chanting of Wu Mu’s na, countless mbers of the audience cried on the spot. A famous filmmaker, Elsa, was in tears and ruined her makeup; ’Screen’ editor Scott sat in his seat motionless, stunned for six to seven minutes; the chairman of the jury, director Matthew Albert, shook hands excitedly, saying this is the kind of romance he wants to film."
Ding Yan: "???"
Huh?
No way, does Cannes have so kind of infectious fever?
Is Li Man hallucinating?
Ding Yan looked at the brief sent back by Li Man incredulously.
If you said the reaction was enthusiastic, I might still believe it, even saying applause for seven to eight minutes could barely be acceptable, after all, Wu Mu’s appearance does have advantages; clapping for such looks might happen.
But to say countless audience mbers cried on the spot, leaving so well-known filmmakers unable to leave their seats, and even having the chairman of the jury that excited...
Are you pulling my leg?
You think our Movie Channel airs carpet novels?
Ding Yan’s first reaction was disbelief.
"You imdiately send a ssage to Li Man and ask her to reverify the content sent back!" he directly instructed the nearby staff.
However, there was no need to specifically send a ssage to verify; soon, Li Man and her team sent the second batch of returned materials.
This ti it was various video materials shot in the exhibition hall.
Ding Yan watched the material with fans frantically shouting Wu Mu’s na, along with those hotly reacting filmmakers, and fell silent.
No.
Are they serious?
What exactly did Wu Mu’s movie portray??
For such a strong reaction?
A big question mark arose in Ding Yan’s mind.
However, regardless of the question mark, it didn’t stop him from turning around and instructing his staff, "Include these in tonight’s program as part of the news!"
Not only with the Movie Channel.
Many dostic viewers also went to watch the Cannes premiere.
As soon as the premiere ended, these viewers couldn’t help but post this news online.
The self-dia bloggers on site imdiately started making videos, grabbing the spotlight first.
For example, the blogger "Blue Star Film Bureau," who had previously mocked Wu Mu for being shortlisted in Cannes.
He had also mixed into the audience at the Cannes venue.
As Wu Mu and the team finally wrapped up at the exhibition hall, even before they returned to the hotel, he quickly took out his cara gear from his pocket and started a live stream on Douyin right outside the exhibition hall.
He had over six hundred thousand followers, and as soon as the live stream started, quite a few people joined in.
The audience was a little surprised, not knowing why he, who rarely did live streams and mainly posted videos, suddenly decided to stream live.
Then the live strear, masked in disguise, began with an explosive announcent.
"Brothers, it’s terrible, Wu Gou is really going to beco a Best Actor!!"
Amidst a sea of question-marked audiences.
He continued, still in disbelief.
"Just ca out from Wu Mu’s film premiere, completely and utterly shocked, do you know what I saw? Wu Mu’s new movie was a mind-blowing blast!"
"The acting was phenonal! No, it wasn’t even acting, there’s no way to describe it; it was just like his singing, with explosive infectiousness."
"He just seed like that kind of person without any sense of dissonance. And the movie was incredible; they made a romance film, you know, and while watching it, it made a grown man like just want to wipe tears away!"
"It just makes you recall your own regretful first love; if you’ve never been in love, you won’t understand, but if you have, the feelings are exactly the sa as those in the movie!"
"There’s a sense of powerlessness, so many kinds of powerlessness, falling in love too early, having so much childishness within oneself, reality being so full of hardships, and the crazy-for-love first love ultimately only ending in regret."
The "Blue Star Film Bureau" blogger passionately and continuously spoke, not even caring to check the comnts, just as if he was venting his own feelings.
With so difficulty expressing his convoluted and excited viewing experience, he finally looked down at the comnts.
"?"
"???"
"Got paid?"
"Did Wu Gou give you so perks?"
"Did the Enchanting Demon Wu Gou enchant you?"
"It’s not evening yet, why start talking nonsense?"
"Co on, Blue Star, don’t be like this, have a bit of human dignity, don’t beco Wu Bro after eting Wu Gou in person."
"Blue Star Film Bureau": "..."
The blogger looked at the massive stream of question marks, a little exasperated, "You guys really shouldn’t not believe it, it’s not just , you wouldn’t know how many people were like that at the scene."
"You know Elsa, right? She was crying on the spot! Crying harder than , couldn’t even speak properly!"
"And you know the jury chairman, Matthew Albert, right? He seed like he wanted to hand the Best Actor award to Wu Gou right then and there!"
Unfortunately, upon hearing his words, even more question marks appeared in the comnts section.
