Old Matthew is truly an artist.
He's blunt when criticizing, and doesn't hold back on praise either. Even long ago on the "Star Agency" show, he bluntly said Lin Qingyue was just a director of scenic films.
Old Matthew finished announcing the results and sat down.
The award presenter gave Lin Qingyue the Golden Camera Award.
A roll of award certificate wrapped in red silk, and a gold camera embedded in a crystal base.
Though the award is named the Golden Camera, it's actually for a director's first feature film, the Best Debut Award.
The first short film won the Venice Short Film Golden Bear, followed by winning the Cannes Golden Camera for the debut feature film.
Such a smooth path could be called the dream of countless new directors, and even renowned ones find it hard to achieve this honor.
When this Cannes Film Festival started, not many might have known Lin Qingyue, but after today, few professionals in the film world will have no impression by the next festival.
