"Yes? Lin Sheng!"

Lin Chaoyang unexpectedly even knows him as a taxi driver. I really don’t know how many times the citizens of Xiangjiang have been baptized by the news of the Cannes Film Festival in recent days.

He smiled at the taxi driver and said, "Yes!"

"Lin Sheng Hou La! "The Truman Show" suddenly won three awards at the Cannes Film Festival, giving us Hong Kong people credit!" the driver said excitedly.

"Thank you. It seems that there has been a lot of coverage of the film festival in Xiangjiang these two days!" Lin Chaoyang said politely and casually chatted with the driver.

"Of course! Your film is the first Hong Kong film to win an award at the Cannes Film Festival. Ming Pao said it set a record for Hong Kong films.

Those newspapers still compare you with Li Hanxiang and Hu Jinquan. They were only shortlisted back then, and at most they won one——what’s that one? Oh, yes, it’s a technical award. Damn it. I can’t compare with you this time.

.

Whenever you open a newspaper these days, you will definitely see your movie——"

The driver kept talking to Lin Chaoyang about the reports on "The Truman Show" in the Hong Kong press in recent days.

When the Cannes Film Festival announced its shortlist more than a month ago, the media in Hong Kong stirred up a wave of news, but that wave of enthusiasm soon died down.

This time the Cannes Film Festival opened, Ming Pao and Ta Kung Pao sent reporters to Cannes to conduct interviews and reports.

Not to mention that these two newspapers are not invited media from the film festival. The reporters’ food, accommodation and air tickets alone for overseas interviews are a big burden for the newspapers.

On the other hand, the real-time nature of the reported content cannot be guaranteed. There is no Internet these days, and information can only be transmitted through telephone calls and faxes, which are too expensive.

Therefore, Hong Kong media rarely sends foreign reporters to conduct interviews and reports abroad. This reality also highlights the importance these two media attach to "The Truman Show" participating in the Cannes Film Festival.

The attention paid by Ming Pao and Ta Kung Pao also received generous rewards.

When Shen Xicheng and Wu Song spread the popularity of "The Truman Show" at Cannes back to Hong Kong, they also translated and reprinted the high praise of "The Truman Show" by many European and American media, and it soon became popular among Hong Kong citizens.

It aroused heated discussion.

And as they relayed more and more news, citizens became more and more interested in "The Truman Show."

Until the Cannes Film Festival closed two days ago and the list of winners was announced, Shen Xicheng and his wife sent the news back to Hong Kong overnight.

Early the next morning, "Ming Pao" published a report: "

Sweeping the Cannes Film Festival, winning three awards over European and American films."

"Ta Kung Pao" was not to be outdone, and immediately issued a report: "Cannes Film Festival blows up a 'Hong Kong whirlwind',

Winning Three Prizes".
