Across America, Starting with the Boxing Champion Chapter 531

 Chapter 531 Chatting with Monica at night

 At night, the scenery on the seaside in Cannes is charming. The full moon reflects the magnificent sea, and the lights illuminate the beach.

After little Cassel finished his dessert, Link took him to kick around on the beach for a while. The little guy had a great time playing and giggling non-stop.

When the little guy got tired of playing, Link carried him back to the restaurant on the beach, only to see Guillaume drunk, lying on the dining table, saying bad things about him, and kept confessing his love to Marion. A lot of disgusting and affectionate nonsense, I even cried at the end.

"Link, it's so stressful to be your love rival."

Monica Bellucci quipped.

Link shook his head and handed the dozing little guy to Marion. He took Guillaume into the car and returned to the hotel.

Guillaume was drunk, Marion had to take care of him and little Cassel, and Link could only sleep alone at night. Back in the room, Link flipped through the news on his phone, and sure enough, it was all about him unexpectedly winning the Best Man Award. News of the Leading Character Award.

Most of them were skeptical and didn't understand why the jury would break the rules and award two awards to the male and female protagonists of the same movie.

Link read a few articles and found them boring. He closed the browser and looked through missed calls and text messages, as well as Facebook, WhatApp, ins and other messages.

Most of them were congratulating him for winning Best Actor at Cannes. There were hundreds of messages, and most of them were messages from acquaintances, including Emma Roberts, Kirsten, Katy Perry, Paul Walker, etc.

There were also several strange text messages without names, which aroused his curiosity.

Not many people know the number of his mobile phone.

Three of them had the same number. I clicked on it and read it. It said congratulations to Mr. Baker for winning the Best Actor Award at the Cannes Film Festival. He praised his acting skills. He also said that he was a boxing fan and a movie fan and was very fascinated by him. , hoping to receive his reply.

The name below is Binbinfan, saying he is Yang Dami's good friend.

He opened the second item and took a look. It was a few selfies of Bin Binfan himself. He was wearing very cool clothes, his skin was very white, and his movements were very provocative. But for him, who was used to seeing big winds and waves, and had seen many beautiful skins, his heartbeat was beating. There was barely any acceleration.

The third message was an apology message. He said that he originally planned to send it to Yang Dami to show off the beauty of Cannes to her, but accidentally sent it to the wrong one and apologized to him.

There are many little thoughts.

Link deleted the text message and sat on the terrace, responding to messages and calls to some acquaintances.

Dong dong dong~

While discussing with Goldsmith, the head of the publicity department, how to deal with public doubts, there was a knock on the door outside, twice gently.

Link came to the door and took a look through the peephole. The person who came was Monica Bellucci, who had been separated recently. She had long wavy hair and was wearing a red suspender pajamas. The thin suspenders almost fell into her flesh. What was she wearing on her lower body? Less than.

He opened the door and greeted, "Monica, what's the matter?"

"I have insomnia and can't sleep. I want to talk to you. How about it?"

Monica smiled while holding a half bottle of red wine.

"Please come in!"

Link stepped aside to let the other person in.

Monica's smooth shoulders brushed against his chest, and her body was filled with the scent of a light perfume, the same style as Marion's, except that she had a plumper figure, and she was too close, so the scent was warm and warm.

After Monica entered the house, she stepped on high heels and swayed her plump buttocks, and sat down on the sofa. Her skirt was not long, and she needed to close her knees after sitting down to avoid having sex.

"You're alone. Didn't Marion come?"

"She's looking after Guillaume."

Link felt that she should know this and come here at this time.

"I really envy Marion. She can have someone who loves her very much and someone she loves deeply. I didn't understand Marion before, but now I know that this way of preserving love is the best. With you here, Guillaume will never dare to mess around outside, nor will he dare to relax his love for Marion. With Guillaume here, you can enjoy the pleasure of snatching love from him at any time, right? "

Monica crossed her bare legs and smiled.

"I am not that cruel. I would be happy if Marion would leave Guillaume."

Link picked up a goblet and placed it on the coffee table.

"You won't. You should be more troubled because you need to spend more time and energy caring about Marion who can't see you for a long time. If you let Marion wait too long, she might leave, so you guys This way of getting along now is the longest and most comfortable.”

Monica poured a glass of red wine, shook it and asked, "Why only one? Do you want to use a goblet with me?"

Link smiled and said: "Marion should have told you that I am a very light drinker. I just had a drink outside, so I'm sorry that I can't drink with you."

"You can get drunk even if you drink red wine?"

Monica asked with interest.

"So does beer."

Link shrugged helplessly.

"Interesting! Have you ever been drunk? What does it look like when you're drunk?"

Monica smiled.

"Like a normal drunk, but I'll be a little more violent, which you probably don't want to see."

Link sat on the sofa opposite, holding his forehead and looking at Monica Bellucci, the 'ball flower' opposite. Although this woman was old, she was well-maintained, with fair skin, a plump figure, and a close-fitting long silk skirt that covered her **** and hips. Almost stretched out.

"Would you like to try it? I wouldn't mind taking care of you when you're drunk?"

Monica Bellucci handed over the wine glass and smiled.

Link looked into her eyes, took it, took a sip, and gave it back to her, "Drink less, getting drunk is not a wonderful experience."

"Okay, whatever."

Monica smiled slightly, drank half the glass in one gulp, and sat lazily on the sofa. Her two bare legs were no longer placed together in a regular manner, but were placed casually on the sofa, showing off some scenery.

"What were you doing just now?"

“Send congratulatory texts back to some friends.”

"You are indeed worthy of congratulations. You are only twenty-four years old, half my age, and you have already won so many honors, 13 Olympic gold medals, many gold belts, Grammy Awards, Berlin Best Actor, Cannes Best Actor, Lin Ke, why are you so powerful?"

Monica Bellucci asked with blurred eyes.

"As the media says, I may be a genius and an all-rounder."

Link laughed.

"Yes, you are a genius, a genius in all aspects, and a very, very charming little guy. If I were twenty years younger, I would pursue you at all costs, even like Marion."

Monica drank from the wine glass and handed the empty glass to Link.

Link smiled softly and poured half a cup for her.

Monica took the wine glass and drank it in one gulp. Suddenly she stood up and sat next to Link, "Can I lend you my shoulder for a while?"

"Please!"

Link raised his eyebrows.

Monica was not polite, she held his arm, leaned on his shoulder, and softly talked about him and Vincent Cassel. The two met while filming "The Apartment" in 1996 and got married in 1999. , gave birth to two daughters in 2004 and 2010.

But after being married for a long time, the relationship between her and Vincent Cassel became thinner. Vincent began to date younger women outside, and they had not slept together for more than two years. "Link, do you think I'm too old?"

Monica Bellucci raised her face and asked, smelling of alcohol.

Link shook his head, "You are a very attractive woman, no matter what age you are."

"Really? Then do you dare to kiss me?"

Monica asked, blinking her long eyelashes like small fans.

Link lifted her chin with his fingers, lowered his head and kissed her plump red lips.

This kiss seemed to break the seal on Monica's body. She hugged Link's neck, leaned against him and kissed him.

The two kissed for a long time on the sofa and talked a lot. In the end, many things fell into place. On the moonlit terrace, the two faced the sea and the full moon and did some very ridiculous things. Even the Cannes Film Festival You can't film those scenes in a midnight movie.

When Link woke up the next day, Monica was no longer in bed. Link rubbed his forehead and had to admire this woman's recovery ability, which was definitely second to none among the women he knew.

While eating breakfast, Link flipped through several French newspapers. The news in the newspapers was similar to what was on the Internet last night, except that the language was more elegant and concise.

France's largest newspaper "Le Figaro" reported on the front page of yesterday's Cannes Film Festival awards ceremony. The headline was that Link and Marion jointly won the 'Best Actor and Actor' award, creating a first-class award at the Cannes Film Festival. New history.

The article also reports on other film awards.

The previous news was expressed in more objective and fair language.

In the film review section, the newspaper published many articles questioning the Cannes Film Festival jury.

The article stated that although Link and Marion performed very well in "Rust and Bone", if either of them were to win the award, there would be no controversy in this selection, but if both of them were to win at the same time, it is worth discussing. There are many problems.

First, do Link and Marion have any clear advantages over the other finalists.

Secondly, the jury asked whether it was necessary to set a precedent for the two.

Finally, whether the members of the jury upheld a fair and impartial attitude when voting, and whether they were interfered by outsiders.

In the comments, the editor of the newspaper asked and answered his own questions.

It is believed that Marion has obvious advantages in acting skills compared with the four actresses who were nominated at the same time, and she deserves the award.

Compared with several veteran actors, Link did not have a clear advantage, and in the end they were evenly matched.

In this case, the jury should have followed Cannes' previous practice of choosing best actor from the remaining films, rather than voting for Link.

In the end, the jury, knowing that there would be controversy, insisted on awarding the Best Actor Award to Link, breaking convention.

This approach is puzzling.

Finally, there is the issue of whether there is any external interference.

The media believed that Link was famous and had a sensitive identity, which could easily interfere with the jury members.

The chairman of the jury, Spielberg, should have taken this into consideration when making the selection. For the purpose of avoiding suspicion, he should not have awarded the award to Link.

The editor of "Le Figaro" hopes that the organizers of the Cannes Film Festival can answer these questions head-on.

Other newspapers in France, as well as the British "Guardian", the German "Bild" and other newspapers reported relevant news and questioned Link's award.

Link read these articles once and didn't care.

The Cannes Film Festival has been full of controversy since its inception. After every Cannes Film Festival awards ceremony, the media will question the winning films and filmmakers.

For example, in 2004's "Fahrenheit 9/11", the chairman of the jury at the time was Quentin Tarantino, who fought against all odds to win the Palme d'Or for this documentary. It was also the second documentary to win this award in Cannes film history. .

The producer of "Fahrenheit 9/11" is Harvey Weinstein, who has a very good relationship with Quentin. Quentin is considered to be partial.

In addition, this documentary has a strong political color and is not artistic.

After the awards ceremony, "Fahrenheit 9/11" and Tarantino Tarantino also received a lot of criticism.

Also at the 2004 Cannes Film Festival, 14-year-old Japanese actor Yuya Yanagi defeated Tony Leung, Daniel Brühl, Choi Min-sik and others to become the youngest Cannes Best Actor in the history of the Festival. Afterwards, Tony Leung publicly complained, "14 years old" What acting skills can you have? '

Also in 2006, when director Wong Kar-Wai served as the chairman of the jury, a total of 5 male actors were awarded the Cannes Best Actor award at the same time, and 6 actresses were awarded the Cannes Best Actress award at the same time.

It also caused a lot of controversy afterwards.

In 2009, at the 62nd Cannes Film Festival, French actress Isabelle Huppert served as the president of the jury. She directly dedicated the Palme d'Or trophy to her mentor, German director Michael Haneke's new film "The White Ribbon" 》.

And "The Piano Teacher" directed by Michael Haneke in 2001, allowed Huppert to win the crown of Best Actress at Cannes for the second time.

During the selection, Huppert had a heated argument with the jury members.

It was also exposed by the media afterwards, causing a lot of controversy.

At the 63rd Cannes Film Festival in 2010, the famous American director Tim Burton served as the chairman of the jury, and finally awarded the Palme d'Or to "Remembering Past Lives" directed by Thai director Apichatpong Weerasethakul. people".

The reason for sending this film was that Tim Burton said that he had not seen the film and was distracted throughout.

This year's Cannes Film Festival also saw a double-yolked egg, with Spanish actor Javier Bardem and Italian actor Elio Germano both winning the Best Actor award.

These are the disputes that occurred at the Cannes Film Festival in the past 13 years. Before 2000, there were more bizarre news, and the style of Cannes films also focused on deviance.

Compared with these news, Link and Marion won the Best Actor and Actress awards at the same time, which is simply not worth mentioning.

So when he saw these doubtful articles, he wasn't too worried.

As long as I can get the Cannes Best Actor trophy, other things can be taken care of slowly.

After two days in Cannes, Link, Marion Cotillard, Little Cassel, Monica Bellucci, and Guillaume returned to Paris and attended the premiere of "Rust and Bone" at the Paris Cinema .

The film was released at a very controversial time, which also gave the film a lot of exposure.

After three days of release, it grossed 10.59 million euros at the box office in 334 theaters in France, successfully becoming the French weekly box office champion. At the same time, the film also received a very good reputation, with fans and the media mostly praising Link and Marion's performances.

The French media gave it an overall rating of 8.8 and is considered a classic love movie.

The production cost of this movie is 22 million euros, and it is expected to be able to make back the money at the box office in France. It is expected to be a big-selling movie.

Just when Link put aside his work at the Cannes Film Festival and returned to the United States to promote the film, he found that the American media was still obsessed with his unexpected win.

It is said that he interfered with the selection of the jury through the public relations department, that he used his girlfriend Jennifer Lawrence to win the award, and that there was an exchange of interests between him and the members of the jury.

What's more, criticizing Link is already good enough. He has so many honorary trophies, so why bother to compete with ordinary actors for trophies?

These media outlets are clinging to this incident and seem to want to use it to put some stain on him, preferably to destroy his golden body.

Considering that "Rust and Bone" is about to be released in North America, money needs to be spent on promotion.

Link did not intend to deal with this matter coldly, and began to use the media to do a lot of public relations, and started a war of words with the gangsters, vowing to make this matter clear.
