昨天在北京举行的第十二届法国电影展上，冯小刚获得法国文化部授予的“艺术与文学骑士勋章”。一身正式的黑色西装，还特意打了领结，可见冯导对此次受勋相当重视。去年，冯导的老朋友葛优也获得了这枚勋章，而导演张艺谋、陈凯歌、姜文、贾樟柯都曾获得过该荣誉。

　　这个“艺术与文学骑士勋章”，1957年由法国文化部设立，表扬全世界在文学界或艺术界有杰出贡献的人物。法国驻华大使在授予勋章时评价，“冯小刚导演拍过一些非常优秀的喜剧电影，比如《非诚勿扰》系列，非常希望《非诚勿扰3》能去法国拍。此外，冯导还愿意讲述中国的历史，比如《1942》。表彰冯先生在推广中国文化，为增进人与人的了解作出的贡献，让我们的文化相逢相识。”

　　会有《非诚勿扰3》吗?冯导透露，“这两年一直在想《非诚勿扰3》的剧本，现在电影市场特别好，但导演还是要把剧本这个环节做好，要对得起市场，也帮助市场提高质量。刚才法国大使说希望我到法国拍，我也特别想去，法国是个浪漫的城市。”

　　Director Feng Xiaogang receives knighthood

　　This year, France—more than just having a strong presence in and around the Beijing InternationalFilm Festival— is also honoring the contribution of veteran filmmakers to the world's culturalheritage.

　　On Saturday evening, the French Ambassador to China awarded the knighthood of the Orderof Arts and Letters to Chinese Director Feng Xiaogang.

　　Quietly tucked away in a narrow, centuries-old street by the Forbidden City, celebrities from Chinaand France celebrated a "Soiree francaise."

　　The Ambassador of France to China, Maurice Gourdault-Montagne, welcomed the guest of honor,director Feng Xiaogang, and his wife, actress Xu Fan.

　　The French evening also marks the 12th Panorama of French Cinema in China, and is a big moraleboost for the country's entries at this year’s Beijing International Film Festival.

　　French Director Jean-Jacques Annaud, who has just released his latest Franco-Sino co-production"Wolf Totem", is already looking forward to making another film with Chinese actors.

　　"I've had such a positive experience filming in China. I absolutely loved working with suchfantastic Chinese actors and crew. I hope I'll make my next film again in China," he said.

　　Chinese director Feng Xiaogang, though a Beijing native and working almost exclusively in China,has long garnered the attention of the world.

　　Unlike many fifth-generation Chinese filmmakers, a label the he tries to resist, Feng has proved tobe a highly successful commercial filmmaker.

　　Best known for his comedies, such as "If You Are the One(《非诚勿扰》)", he is almostsynonymous with the genre of "Hesui pian" or "New Year Celebration Films". The filmmaker hastried to break from this typecast by making the epic drama "Back to 1942".

　　For his significant contribution to the arts, Feng was awarded Knighthood of the Order of Arts andLetters by the French Ambassador to China.

　　"I look nothing like a knight, but French people seem to think I do... I haven't done anyfilms overseas, including France, but I like how their crew is very composed, and Icertainly would like to make a film there one day," Feng said.

　　Established in 1957 by the Minister of Culture, the Order of Arts and Letters is an Order of Franceto recognize significant contributions to the arts and culture around the world. The Order has threegrades: Commander, Officer and Knight.

　　"Dear Feng Xiaogang, you're a man of culture, in all manners of speaking. You're a director, awriter, an actor and also a painter. For this reason, the Republic of France would like to recognizeyou for your contribution to the promotion of Chinese culture through cinema, the promotion ofhuman understanding, and the promotion of bridging cultures, one of the most precious things ina globalized world where you help Chinese cinema blossom, and for which we adore you," saidMaurice Gourdault-Montagne, French ambassador to China.

　　The Chinese filmmaker is working on the screenplay for the third installment of "If You Are the One"and says that France could be the setting for the sequel.
