PS: Ask for a recommendation ticket, ask for a monthly ticket!
"Next, I invite the presenter Pedro Almodovar and jury member William Goldman to present the Best Actor Award at this Cannes Film Festival."

In the movie palace, the reporters and video cameras in the front row kept filming.

Pedro Almodovar is an old Spanish blind man who served as the chairman of the jury of the 70th Cannes Film Festival in later generations. That session was also the session when a certain blanket star was promoted to the jury of the Cannes Film Festival.

This guy's favorite porn movie, the most famous movie in China in later generations should be the story about a kidnapped Ivy actress falling in love with a violent kidnapper - "Tie Me, Tie Me".

In the history of Cannes, eroticism definitely occupies a large amount of space, which is one of the reasons why Cannes has always attracted the attention of ordinary movie fans and audiences.

Otherwise, how can a film festival make a profit with an investment of tens of millions of dollars a year?
Cannes itself is very fond of blanket stars. For them, it doesn't matter whether they are blanket stars or not. What they want is the PR team and fan traffic behind the blanket stars.Relatively speaking, these blanket stars are gifts that come with 'traffic and popularity'. What else can you ask for from the gifts?

In this way, you can understand why a bunch of unpopular stars get together on the Cannes red carpet every year.

Cannes can make a fortune every year by selling the places on the red carpet.

一般情况下开幕和闭幕的红毯时间都是18:30-20:00，其中18:30-19:30是一些二三流小明星、小模特，19:30-20:00才是真正大牌登场的时间。

In the previous life, a certain carpet star deliberately delayed time, so that behind the photos were big-name celebrities as the background for her, and she was very proud.

The Spanish chubby curly-haired man walked onto the stage with a certificate of merit in hand, kissed the judges, and then began to speak Spanish. . . . .

Everyone in the audience was confused, but the more confused they became, the more nervous they became.The atmosphere at the Cannes Film Palace was tense.All the popular "Actor" candidates were captured by the camera on the screen one by one.

"So nervous!"

Anita Mui held her brother's hand tightly, "It must be you!"

She felt that her brother Zhang Guoying's portrayal of "Shen Shen" was enough to win an acting award.

Brother Zhang Guoyi himself was also very nervous. Looking from the side, he could see that his Adam's apple was constantly swallowing.His eyes were fixed on the stage—his hands were tightly clutching Amei's, and his palms were full of sweat.

The honor of Best Actor in Cannes is enough to shake his mind, the temptation is too great.

"He gave a classic performance in this movie, he made this character come alive off the screen."

The chairman of the jury, Ettore Scola, stood at the jury's seat and announced the winners.

Several popular candidates in the audience were very nervous.

The actor Max von Sydow of "Pell the Conqueror" changed his legs. His performance in this show is calm and powerful. It is short of a very important actor.

Later, he played the role of the Prophet--the Three-Eyed Raven in HBO's "A Song of Ice and Fire".Participated in many movies such as "The Exorcist", "Conan the Barbarian", "SWAT Judge", "Minority Report", and is regarded as a famous Hollywood veteran.

The performance of the old Swedish farmer in "Pell the Conqueror" is indeed very exciting.

It is his best chance.

Ben Kingsley in "Pascali Island" is not small. He played Gandhi in "Gandhi" a few years ago.And through 'Gandhi' won the Golden Globe and Oscar double best actor.This guy is well-known by mainland audiences because he played the mentally ill dean in "Shutter Island" and "The Mandarin" in "Iron Man 3".

In addition, there is also the black actor Forest Whitaker of "The Jazzman", this "old cowboy" Clint Eastwood's film itself is the hottest film in Cannes this year, and this film is full of It has all the love of jazz from the old cowboy, plus it is a biographical movie in itself.

Without exception, major film festivals have always favored biographical films.

There is also Ed Harris, the leading actor in "The Abyss". Many people are familiar with his role as General Hammer in "Into the Deadly Island", and he also played Jim Carrey's "The Truman Show".

This film is Cameron's work, and participating in Cannes is mainly to promote and sell the film, so it is not competitive enough.Cameron, an old driver, only participated in the open mode and left.

The competition for the best actor this time is very fierce, whether it is a veteran actor or a powerful actor, and they have all dedicated enough convincing acting skills.

Zhang Guoyan licked his dry lips, he was also nervous.

"He perfectly interprets the life of the great jazz musician Charlie Parker. Congratulations to Forest Whitaker for winning the best actor for "The Jazzman"!"

coax!
There was thunderous applause at the scene, and the old cowboy Eastwood laughed and hugged the black actor Forest Whitaker, who burst into tears instantly.He should be the first black best actor in Cannes history.

The other party's cheers silenced the crew of "Suspect".

"It's ok.

"Zhang Guoyi couldn't hide his disappointment, but still squeezed out an elegant smile and shook his head gently at the crowd, instead comforting others, "It's the first time I participated in the Cannes Film Festival, and it's understandable that I didn't win an award.we are young!What's more, we still have the chance to win the Best Picture, Best Director and Jury Prize! "

"You are the best in my heart." Meigu rubbed her brother's head with a smile, and joked, "Next time we will take it together!"

"Okay." Although my brother was disappointed, it was not unacceptable.

Wu Xiaozu couldn't help but roll his eyes at the selection of the ten judges at the Cannes Film Festival, not because he thought the other party was unfair.

Forest Whitaker's strength is indeed very strong. He is not surprised who won the award this time among several actors. In other words, anyone has the ability to win the best actor. It just depends on who the judges like more .

The problem is, you have awarded 3 actresses, why are you still stingy with the actor?

If you don't award three-yolk eggs, at least you will award an egg with double yolks. Anyway, everyone is happy.

This shows that the Italians are not as good as their disciple kings who lose money and behave like men!
You see, 11 actresses and best actors, how wonderful. . . . .

Brother, Hei Yun, who has lost the best actor, has not left yet, and Wu Xiaozu has also lost the opportunity for the best director.

Fernando Solanas, a film master of Latin American magic reality film style, won the best director award for his stage-like work "South" with a very different style.

Wu Xiaozu was really a little nervous.

He naturally wants to win the Palme d'Or, but he thinks his chances of winning the best director should not be small.

In the movie "Suspect", his creation of the movie has many designs that surpassed the times.

Hand-held lens, mirror design, cage reflection, blue light, many small details are well portrayed.

Unexpectedly, he just lost the best director award when he was just about to comfort his brother.

Now only the Jury Prize and the Palme d'Or remain.

"We are very hopeful!!" Brother took the initiative to cheer Wu Xiaozu up.

"I will definitely win an award!" Huang Qiusheng also rubbed his hands nervously, and asked, "Didn't it mean that only those who have an award will call and keep it?"

"Who told you? Under normal circumstances, the main competition film will be kept. In addition, many filmmakers will also be notified by phone. It can only be said that if you receive a call, you have a chance, but it does not mean that you will definitely win. Even if it is Winning, maybe some kind of International Film Critics Award will be awarded after the main competition is over, it's also possible..." Li Heizi muttered.

"To shut up!"

Hu Jinquan couldn't help but say something, causing Anita Mui and Gao Lihong to show support: Director Hu, you are right!
"Li Heizi, don't say a word! The movie "Suspect" still has a chance to win the jury award and the Palme d'Or!"

"Just kidding..." Li Heizi knew he had said something wrong.

"Sarcasm and humor are two different things! Outspokenness and frankness are two different things! Being uneducated and casual are two different things! Indiscriminateness and honesty are two different things." Director Hu kept his eyes on the stage, and sternly criticized Li Heizi. . . . .

"..."

Li Hanxiang was stunned by the resentment, and it was the first time that he felt that Hu Jinquan could speak so well.In the past, he was always talkative, but today he was taught a lesson by Xiaolan.But this is really good, I will go to Huang Zhan when I turn around. . .Li Heizi thought happily.

"Fake!"

The crew of "Pell the Conqueror" in the front row also got a little nervous. They scored the first in the program, but they didn't win any awards.

So far, among the top three movies rated by the show magazine, "The World of Isolation" has already won three best actresses.

However, so far, many people have predicted that perhaps the Palme d'Or and the Jury Prize will be produced in these two films.

This year's judges are obviously splitting the cake.

Just don't know who can take the biggest piece of cake.

Although the jury award is also full of gold, No.2 is still No.2. How can it compare with the Palme d'Or? ?
The two crews of "Suspect" and "Pell the Conqueror" are also very nervous. They are fans of the authorities, but they also know that the grand prize is getting closer and closer.

Although Li Hanxiang was joking, he was actually more nervous than anyone else.

Several generations of Chinese-language filmmakers have failed in Cannes, and this time is definitely the closest Chinese-language film to Cannes!

The first Chinese-language film to enter the Cannes main competition was "The Slut and the Virgin" in 1959.At that time, due to some reasons, mainland films entered a difficult period, and Li Hanxiang became the pillar of the Chinese film in the world.

In the 60s, Li Hanxiang ushered in the first pinnacle of his art. "A Chinese Ghost Story" in 1960, "Yang Guifei" in 1962, and "Wu Zetian" in 1963 broke into the main competition unit of the Cannes Film Festival in three years, independently supporting Chinese films in the international market. reputation.

Probably no one is more qualified to prudent Cannes than he.

His joke just now might not be helping everyone to decompress.But when it came to the critical moment, he was even more nervous than director Wu Xiaozu.

Cannes actually invited him, a master of oriental film, to participate, but he declined and offered Wu Xiaozu on his own initiative.In his previous life, he used his body as an excuse to give up the opportunity to the younger generation, but unfortunately, he didn't live up to expectations!

Therefore, at that time, when mainland filmmakers had the opportunity, he would help recommend them.He even called Lao Mouzi, Chen Kaige and others in person.

Although this old man is an old blind bastard who is not stingy, he really loves movies to the bone.

"Spanish ghost, if you don't give us the award, I'll smash your glass! Talk so much nonsense, give the award quickly!!!!"

Li Heizi stared at Ettore Scola, who took out an envelope on the stage to read the award, and murmured softly, "Feng Shui turns, it should be a Chinese-language filmmaker."

So far, Chinese-language films have been nominated a total of 8 times in Cannes over the decades, including "Kid King" and "Suspect".On the contrary, Dongying, a major award-winning company, has been nominated for 27 films.

Many people said that in the 80s, Hong Kong films of Chinese-language films began to rise, but apart from commercial success, awards were also needed to encourage more literary and artistic filmmakers.

"This year's jury award—"

The chairman of the jury, Ettore Scola, glanced at the direction of the crew of "The Suspect" and read: "This is a world full of darkness, but also full of human touch. The whole film reveals the eternal truth of survival The proposition. The beautiful picture like a classical oil painting and the relationship between father and son who love each other in suffering... make the film even more touching..."

When this was read, the audience applauded.

The crew of "Pell the Conqueror" has already stood up.

"Congratulations to "Pell the Conqueror" for winning the jury award, and congratulations to Auguste for dedicating a wonderful enough movie to us with your great love!"

There was thunderous applause.

Whether it was true or not, everyone at the scene applauded and smiled, and the classical director Billy August walked onto the stage like a gentle teacher.

This work adapted from a literary work was also affirmed by the judges.His films often reveal metaphors about "politics", and this "Pell the Conqueror" is no exception.

The "Suspect" crew laughed dryly, and the jury prize was gone.Only the Palme d'Or is left!

There is only one last chance left!
Everyone held their breath!

Huang Qiusheng's ghostly eyes were full of anxiety, and he listened to the translation with his ears pricked up.

It seems that I am afraid that the translator will make a wrong translation.

The Cannes Film Festival has always given acceptance speeches and photographed directly on the stage after accepting the awards, but in this regard, it has always maintained its emphasis on movies.Commerciality is also very strong, but the film awards were not overwhelmed by guests.

The red carpet is a commercial display, and the awards ceremony is a professional palace!

"Next, I invite the famous French actress Ms. Isabelle Adjani to present the Palme d'Or, and the judge who presents the award with her is Mr. Claude Berry!"

Claude Berry is a famous French filmmaker, known as the No. 1 producer in the French film industry, and he can be regarded as the leader of French films.Can be regarded as a European film giant.

But... everyone's eyes were attracted by the goddess Ajani.

The French actress Isabelle Adjani in the black dress came out slowly, accompanied by the lights, showing France...

Amount (⊙o⊙)...cold insulator.

The media at the scene rolled their eyes in unison. . .Obviously, I don't like to see this 'fine work'.

If you choose an actress who is the most popular actress on the red carpet in Cannes, the media reporter will definitely not be Ma BuNuoWo Su who walks 20 meters for 6 minutes.

Or the Houston actress Da Mimi and the 'Blanket Fighter 9 Minutes Little Sister' who were chased away by the security guards...it must be this French goddess.

In 1983, the rejection incident almost broke the goddess... People who love her say that she has a real temperament and only care about her works, while those who hate her call her "being a fine person and annoying".

That year, Adjani came to Cannes beautifully with her work "Summer of Murder" and was loved by countless people. However, as beautiful as her appearance is, her personality is as capricious as she is!
Her arrival immediately attracted the attention of tens of thousands of photographers and movie fans, who asked her to stop and take pictures.

Ajani: Can my old lady be like a coquettish bitch like Sophie Marceau?
Sophie Marceau: Come on, let's compare who can take off better!
In short, just say "I'm an actor, I'm here to promote my movie, not to pose for a photo according to your request!", and then I walked away coolly.

This attitude really angered the uncrowned kings of the world.

seriously.

As a public figure, it doesn't mean that you have to come to cooperate with the photo shoot, but you come to Cannes as if you are happy, don't you have this kind of self-consciousness?

So, that night, Goddess Adjani was in a good mood, and she appeared on the red carpet to take pictures and publicize,
In order to protest, media and photographers from all over the world put their cameras under their feet and turned their backs to Adjani, ignoring the number one beauty in France (Come here...the place is for you, Sophie fans and Adjani Fans come here to pinch!)

This incident can be called Adjani's "Black Sea Incident", and it is truly legendary.

The wayward and cold queen is also the king of the cold, she is really the essence of lemon. . .But it does not prevent Cannes from loving this local goddess.

This time she was specially called to present the Palme d'Or.

She didn't smile, she just stood on the awarding platform dryly, looking at Sophie Marceau in the audience.

When two tigers fight, there must be one Kublai Khan!
Suddenly, Ajani smiled.

It made the audience bewildered.

"Take it!"

Wu Xiaozu couldn't help cursing, this 'work is as good as it is' really made an honest person like him a little unaccustomed.

Fortunately, she was not the one who read the award speech, nor was she the chairman of the awards ceremony.

In her previous life, Cannes officials admitted that she was the most failed jury chairman, and the title was simple and clear: Wayward Adjani.The tone of the draft is very disgusting...

Fans of later generations Wang Jiawei, Gong Huang, and Liang Chaowei hammered Ajani together, which was a tragedy. . . .She herself had a good relationship with Gong Li before, and she personally presented Lao Chen's "Farewell My Concubine" with an award.

In fact, it may be that Adjani really simply doesn't like Wang Jiawei's movies. Of course, it does not include that she is really playing a demon.

This is not guaranteed.

"A gray world, full of hopeless human relationships, the characters are as numb as clockwork, follow the rules. The director wraps a discussion about human nature with a love story.

There is hope in despair.

During the discussion of the judges, this film has been discussed with another work until the end, and it is still close to each other.

However, Ms. Natasha Kinski said: The great thing about this play is that the director talked about a theme that moved us in the simplest way.

In the movie, under the main line, the director contains an understanding and open talk about life and human nature.

Xiaoyehua has been walking in another timeline.

The dawn of spring is beautiful, the sky is white, the small wild flowers are quietly breaking through the ground, a purple-red dawn cloud hangs across the sky, and the seagulls spread their wings and glide.

This is hope!

This innocence gave hope to the hero and each of us!

In summer, the director aimed his dark camera at the night. Under the moonlit night, in the mirror, there is the hottest love and secrets that cannot be understood by outsiders.

In autumn, at dusk, the tide on the seashore shines with colorful colors in the setting sun, and gradually falls, the crows return to their nests, three or four, two wild geese cross the sky, the darkness is gradually approaching, the sound of the wind, the sound of insects...

People walk across the overpass numbly, the yellow leaves will fall, and all sounds are silenced.

In front of the tidal flat, bones, flesh and blood, and dilapidated factories self-destructed in flames!

In the winter morning, there is no snow, but the frost is really cold, and the human heart is the only temperature, but it is willing to turn into white ashes.

Survive?Or self-destruct?
dedication?Or selfish bondage?
ignite?Or push into the abyss?
He is a puppet of despair, he is a useless cog, he is a genius mathematician, he is an indifferent spectator under the blue light.

He is an unwilling warrior!He is the hands protruding from the edge of the abyss, he is the toughest protective shell, and he is the eyes in the mirror that stare forever.

He redeemed and warmed that heart, but he killed the innocent..."

It is probably not pronounced in Spanish like this, but the general meaning is like this. After translation, it was transmitted to the scene.

"It's us?" Huang Qiusheng was the first to shout excitedly.

"Awarded!!?! Awarded?!" Gao Lihong burst into tears and kept murmuring.

Li Hanxiang was very quiet, staring blankly at the stage.

At this moment, he felt that the Spaniard spoke really nicely!Please keep talking!
What, you say this is nonsense?

To shut up!

This is the most beautiful melody, second only to a woman's groan.

"Congratulations to "The Suspect" for winning this year's Palme d'Or, congratulations to you, lucky young directors!"

The chairman of the jury, Ettore Scola, looked at Wu Xiaozu in the audience with a smile.

He also likes this play very much.

Compared with the formal moderation, the Nordic film of "Pell the Conqueror" lacks a sense of ups and downs and layers.This highly dramatic "Suspect" is more in line with his aesthetics.

At the same time, the self-style that Wu Xiaozu gave to this poignant and tragic movie was also liked by several French judges and female judges.

The play is poetic realism, and of course French filmmakers love it!
At the same time, this movie has innovations that are rare in these years!
Whether it is camera or light color, all are world-class standards!The core of the story, Wu Xiaozu has also added and changed a lot, which is more universal.

Fragmented dialogue is also very popular among literary and artistic filmmakers.

This play can be regarded as a rare classic masterpiece!

"what!!!!!"

Jiang Ershao was the first to jump up, followed by Huang Qiusheng and Mei Yanfang who also shouted excitedly.

"Brother Zu! We won!!"

"Azu!"

Zhang Guoying couldn't hide his excitement, and took the initiative to hug Wu Xiaozu: "Congratulations! Congratulations!"

"Wooden ah--"

Gao Lihong took the initiative to "wrap" Wu Xiaozu, and Li Heizi Hu Jinquan beside him also applauded and smiled tearfully.

The Palme d'Or?
That's right!

Wu Xiaozu, who was sitting quietly on the chair, heard the applause like a tsunami around him, and everyone who could see the crew of "Pell the Conqueror" also turned their heads to look at him and applaud for him.

At this time, Director Wu pulled the corner of his mouth, showing a narrow smile, stood up, and accepted the cheers of the crowd.

"Cow B!"

"come on!"

In front, Gu Changwei scratched his neck and roared.

Huh? ?

Only then did Wu Xiaozu notice the dignified and majestic Gong Li, and nodded with a smile.

"The Suspect" won the award, breaking the record of zero Chinese-language films and becoming the first Chinese-language film to win the Palme d'Or in Cannes.

Brother Chen Kai was applauding Wu Xiaozu with a complicated expression, always feeling that he had lost something important to him.

"Thank you, thank you!" Wu Xiaozu smiled and hugged Zhang Guoying, Jiang Ershao, Anita Mui, and Huang Qiusheng one by one.

"Get out, go quickly!" When it was Li Heizi's turn, the old man cursed arrogantly, "Don't be so loud..." In a hurry, he used all the words he learned from the mainland.

"Azu, you have won honor for Chinese-language movies!!" Hu Jinquan smiled and hugged him.

"Congratulations!"

When passing by Sophie Marceau, the goddess stood up politely and gave her a hug. The boyfriend next to her didn't mind at all.

Then Xiaozu Wu went to Brother Chen Kai again——

"Azu! Awesome!" Lao Chen also hugged.

After he finished hugging, Gu Changwei quickly stepped forward to hug, Wu Xiaozu perfunctory one by one, and finally it was the turn of the plump and majestic palace emperor.

Hugged vigorously and excitedly.

Car is in great condition!It is high fuel consumption!No wonder Xiao Mouzi is dry and thin!
Let go of Gong Huang, nodded, took a deep breath, dusted off his suit, and then strode towards the stage——

There is golden light there, and there is infinite glory there!
The excitement slowly faded away, Wu Xiaozu regained his composure.

What it represents there, he knows better than anyone else at this moment!
Starting today, his movie journey will definitely be on the fast track!
He firmly believes that his film will be introduced to the mainland!
Because, his speech is destined to be very heavy, and the absolute benefit is maximized!

　This chapter should be about 7000 words, so I won't cut it.I reflect while I work during the day….Thank you for the timely criticism from a book friend whose name I forgot!
