After a brief mont of surprise, the innate confidence returned to her—I’ve always been amazing! It’s just that the judges back ho are blind, didn’t even shortlist for the Golden Phoenix, and the Gold Oscar went to so rookie. Can’t you see? I’ve always been gold, and now I’m shining!
She walked up step by step in high heels, lifting her gown. When she reached the stage, she took the trophy handed to her by the judges with both hands. It was heavy, finally giving her a sense of reality.
Then, holding the trophy, she slightly tilted her head and said into the microphone, "You should know the difference; we are back now!"
Her words weren’t in Chinese, nor English, not even in French or Italian, though it sounded slightly similar to Italian. Even Bo Yan was montarily stunned, but many foreigners in the audience below understood—this was Latin! Very pure Latin! Moreover, this sentence was a quote from a famous Western classic—"The Iliad."
Imdiately, Xia Siyu spoke in very standard French: "My na is Xia Siyu, I’m from China, and in a few months, I’ll be celebrating my twenty-ninth birthday."
Xia Siyu ntioned she could speak French, but only the most basic and simple conversations, like introducing herself.
In fact, many people at the event had simultaneous translators. After all, people ca from various countries and regions. So people spoke in Chinese, English, French, Spanish, Arabic, etc., on stage. So actors, even if their English was good and French decent, still chose to speak in their native language to represent their country.
Xia Siyu spoke two sentences. The first Latin sentence wasn’t translated simultaneously, but the second sentence in French had a translation with subtitles. While there wasn’t much noise at the venue, the barrage already began:
"Why not speak Chinese, is Chinese embarrassing?"
"Here we go again, showing off your language skills."
"So what if you can speak French? I can also say: ’cochon stupide’ (hello)."
Xia Siyu, who previously left a deep impression with her Italian in "Flowers and Grass," was now showing off her French.
Although criticized, Xia Siyu switched back to Chinese: "I’m very happy to receive this award; this is my first ti on the Cannes award stage. I know many of you don’t know yet, so I just made an introduction. But it’s okay, you’ll all hear my na often in the future. I also hope you’ll enjoy my films. Thank you."
She smiled slightly, her expression calm and indifferent, her words dominant. Yet, she then bowed deeply at ninety degrees to the audience, maintaining proper etiquette.
She was serious; she got the Best Supporting Actress this ti. Next, she’s aiming for Best Actress!
No celebrity is without vanity; if they’re not vain, they won’t be stars. No celebrity doesn’t want to be famous; portraying a peaceful life is just an alternative hype because they can’t beco popular. Who doesn’t want to stir up a storm and beco renowned? After reigning supre at ho, it’s ti to venture into the world.
Dostic audiences are used to her arrogant words. There’s criticism, and a lot of scolding, but honestly, saying such words on the Cannes stage to movie fans worldwide is indeed... a bit invigorating!
We’re back, and you’ll see the difference!
