My Hong Kong Island Filmmaker

Chapter 963 The peak has risen——

PS: Ask for a recommendation ticket, ask for a monthly ticket!
"He is a new door-knocker in the movie hall, he has improved the language of movies..."

On the stage, Wu Xiaozu showed gratitude, kept a charming smile, and calmly took the certificates rolled up and tied with red ribbons from the two award presenters. At the same time, Yugoslav director Kusturica, one of the award presenters, also After reading the award speech with enthusiasm, he personally presented the certificate to Wu Xiaozu.

"Thank you."

Wu Xiaozu bowed slightly, turned around and held up the 'Best Director' ticket, bowed his head in front of the microphone, and said with a smile: "Thank you Cannes!"

That's right.

Cannes was as stingy as ever.

Except for the Palme d'Or, all other awards are configured as small certificates.

"I definitely want to share this award with every creative person involved in making this film, and from the bottom of my heart, I thank each and every one of you."

Wu Xiaozu's expression was calm, and he bowed again.

There were cheers from the audience.

Many filmmakers looked at Wu Xiaozu, who was not "excited" at all, and even maintained a "calm and calm" demeanor about everything, felt admiration and applauded.

From their point of view, Wu Xiaozu, who was calm on stage, without any impatience, agitation, or even his complexion, already possessed a bit of a master's demeanor.

What kind of psychological quality can make him maintain the posture of a sage in such an exciting atmosphere? ?
Maybe it's the wetness.

"Mr. Takakura Ken, you played the role of Old Mike." Wu Xiaozu smiled slightly, and Takakura Ken in the audience also responded with a thumbs up.

"Thank you Liang Chaowei and Cui Minzhi for your wonderful performances. Thanks to the photographers Bao Xi and Du Kefeng for bringing brilliance to this film. Thanks to Mr. Zhang Yimou for your contribution to this film. I would like to thank Everyone, thank you for your trust in me.

Just like the lines in the movie: 'This world is a beautiful place, and it's worth fighting for. ' I also agree with the second half of the sentence.This world needs us to keep fighting.

Of course, I also want to thank the judges for their recognition, and I also want to thank Director Emil and the organizing committee for their evaluation of my awards—”

Wu Xiaozu thanked the curly-haired Emir Kusturica, who smiled and reached out to pat his arm.

"He just said that I created a new film language. I really dare not fully accept this.

If you have seen the works of this generation of directors born after the war, you will understand what greatness is. "

When Wu Xiaozu said this, he snapped his fingers and raised three of them one by one: "The French New Wave, the Italian New Reality, and the German New Cinema all influence the world purely through images.

The use of images is a very personal thing, and it depends on the artistic accomplishment of the director. This artistic accomplishment is not something you can have at any time, but because you have feelings in your heart, you have feelings for the world, and you have feelings for people, so , you will realize another side of this world through their movies.We cannot block the light of these predecessors. "

When he was speaking this passage, the camera was frequently shown to Godard who was sitting there.

"Of course, I believe that on the road of film, latecomers will shine our light. This requires us to observe the world with our hearts. I believe that there will be more latecomers who will shine on the stage of Cannes!

thanks--"

Wu Xiaozu thanked him, smiled and raised his hand holding the 'certificate', his temperament is like a chrysanthemum, full of gentleman, showing the artist's low-key.

As soon as the words fell, the applause rang out wildly, and the thunderous applause continued and gradually intensified. Many filmmakers couldn't help but stood up and clapped their hands. The entire venue exploded, and countless people actively screamed and shouted.

What he said was indeed very level, worthy of his title of "the big socialite of the three major international film festivals".

Check it out.

French New Wave.

The new Italian reality.

New German Films.

These three major film festivals have all secretly praised it, this kind of PY transaction standing on the stage is definitely rain and dew.Especially the act of helping Cannes to promote it later, it is worthy of being a film master who is familiar with the book "Emotional Intelligence".

At this time, through the big screen, many people suddenly found that the "old lump" Godard even took the initiative to applaud, and immediately greeted the shutter sound of the media in the auditorium, and many film workers on the scene were excited.

Jacob smiled with satisfaction in the audience, and watched Wu Xiaozu walk off the stage to accept media interviews behind the Palace of Film Festival with admiring eyes.

What is a descendant?This is called direct descendant!

At the critical moment, this little word can push you up, and instantly detonate the audience!
Gan's beautiful!

Look at those punks just now?Dry thread?Can it be popular?Can it spread?Can that make people remember Cannes? ?Could that attract more filmmakers?
However, when Wu Xiaozu said this little word that contains the taste of "inheritance", you can listen to the shutter sound again, Kaka Kaka!

Starting tomorrow, Cannes will 'open its arms and embrace the world'!The three major film festivals are also a good match for 'KPI' among each other~~~ Wu Xiaozu's publicity will undoubtedly increase Cannes by several percentage points...

Seeing this, Jacob smiled slightly.

Such Wu Xiaozu deserves more praise, and he is not stingy to help him behind his back.Especially at a time when Hollywood continues to encroach on the film space and market at Cannes.

Cannes needs Hollywood to stand on the stage, publicize and expand its influence.

But at the same time, whether it is Jacob or other European filmmakers, they are actually wary of Hollywood's "swallowing".

No one wants to be someone else's vassal.

Therefore, at this time, it is necessary to bring in some fresh faces of third-world films, especially the 'film giants' who can help Cannes expand its influence.

This kind of front-line character cannot be played by a purely poor filmmaker.

A person like Wu Xiaozu who has great strength and krypton gold ability in Asia is the most suitable for Cannes.

Nobody knows what's planned for the Cannes edition of 'Stern'.

The old gods are at dusk, and the new gods need to be praised.

……

Standing on the balcony of the Palais des Festivals, with his back against the sea, beach and beauties in Cannes, Wu Xiaozu accepted the interview with a certificate of best director with a smile.

"Woo, congratulations on winning the best director. This is the second time you have won the award at Cannes. If you compare yourself to the seniors in the film industry, who do you want to be?" A reporter from a corrupt country asked proactively.

After thinking for a while, Xiaozu Wu said with a slight smile: "This era won't stop you from shining, but you can't cover anyone else's brilliance. I never wanted to be anyone in the past."

"So what are your expectations for the next film?" The American reporter asked proactively, "Have you ever thought about entering the North American market? After all, your films are relatively commercial and artistic. In North America, the video tapes of your films are rented. It's been great."

"Thank you. We are now cooperating with Miramax, and we are planning to shoot several independent films in the future." Wu Xiaozu saw the other party's "applause", and he probably knew that Harvey was behind the scenes.

If "Seven Sins" wants to be released in North America, it needs to be topical.

Compared with the blessings of Pete and Freeman in the previous life, Wu Xiaozu's version of "Seven Sins" is undoubtedly impossible to reach the height of the former in the North American market. These days, hundreds of millions of dollars in the North American market is definitely a shock score.

In fact, even in later generations, a movie with a box office of over [-] million can be regarded as a very good achievement, especially when the production cost is so low.

However, with Takakura Ken and Cui Minzhi, they should be able to attract many movie fans between Korea Town and Dongying City.Coupled with Harvey's distribution capabilities and the impact of Cannes, the box office should be several million dollars.

The big market for this movie is still in Asia, especially Japan.

Suspense movies are relatively popular in Japan.

After Wu Xiaozu's interview here, suddenly there was a commotion from the front, which could be heard, and the whole venue was shaken.

"Wow!!!"

"God!!"

"Isn't it???"

All of a sudden, the Cannes staff squeezed in, separated from the media, and walked to Wu Xiaozu's side.

"Mr.woo, please enter the venue quickly, "Seven Sins" and "Wild Heart" won the Palme d'Or together!!!"

Um? ? ? ? ?
Hearing this, Wu Xiaozu, who was holding the certificate, staggered. He swore that it was definitely not because of rushing Miss Liu in the bathroom... He was really taken aback.

Is Cannes crazy? ? ?
他不是纠结与《我心狂野》共同获得金棕榈这种骚操作，毕竟戛纳的金棕榈大奖在此之前不止一次出现双黄蛋……第4、5、14、19、25、26、32、33届都出现过金棕榈大奖双黄蛋。

Even Francis Ford Coppola, Akira Kurosawa and other super-platinum masters of the Central Plains five-white level have accepted the double-yolk egg in Cannes... The most recent one is not far away, it was the 1982th session in 35.

There is a tradition of double yolk eggs in Cannes - the first film festival awards were jointly awarded to 16 films...

Therefore, double yolk eggs are not surprising!
What shocked him was that the best director and the Palme d'Or belonged to the same film at the same time!
If he remembers correctly, this frankly created the history of Cannes one year in advance!
In history, the first film to win the Best Director and the Palme d'Or at the same time was "Barton Fink" co-directed by the Coen Brothers at the 1991th session in 44. Yes, that is the pair of brothers who appreciated Wu Xiaozu's films in the previous chapters .

That year, the film not only won the Best Director and Palme d'Or, but even won the Best Actor.

In 2003, "Elephant" also won the honor of Best Director and Palme d'Or.

In 2004, Cannes also deliberately asked the judges to stand up and issue a statement, saying that Cannes would not repeat the same mistakes and make the "grand prize" more serious!
Therefore, even the only "Parasite" that won the Cannes Film Festival's highest honor Palme d'Or and the Oscar for Best Picture at the same time in 64 years, the two most authoritative film festival final awards, did not achieve a film in Cannes that won two awards. The glory of a heavyweight award.

Compared with the original time and space, Wu Xiaozu achieved this amazing achievement a year earlier, which itself was an earthquake in the film industry.

This is a peak!
At this moment, Wu Xiaozu felt that the staff in front of him had an urge to worship.

At this moment, the scene is in chaos.

Many people showed expressions of disbelief.

Immediately afterwards, waves of frantic cheers and angry boos from the audience merged into one, intertwined, inseparable.

The two films "Seven Sins" and "Wild Heart" won the awards, but they are not completely convincing, especially for Eastern European filmmakers from the Soviet Union and Poland.

Don't think that everyone is booing "Seven Sins".

Because this drama itself is a realistic drama, it has a high score among filmmakers.

Although he was surprised to win the award, and even felt sour or angry in his heart, the award of "Wild at Heart" is also questioned.

It is hard to accept that such a fantasy film with a strange style can win the Palme d'Or, which is surrounded by many realistic drama themes.

Historically, David Lynch has also been questioned in Cannes this time.

However, this couldn't stop the crazy celebration of the two crews!
The crew of "Seven Sins" is already boiling.

Grandfather Niubility! (Breaking sound!)
Everyone raised their hands and screamed and cheered.

"History has been made!!!" Harvey, the owner of "Which Country Awards Encyclopedia", couldn't help but put his arms around Jiang Ershao at the first moment, "How much more dollars can this sell for?? Dollars? ?? This is the first film in Cannes film history to win both the Best Director and the Palme d'Or."

"Fuck~~~" Jiang Ershao also reacted, his old face smiled into a chrysanthemum, "This f*cking cheering group is not in vain!!!" Looking back, he waved his arms at twenty or thirty artists.

"┗|｀O'|┛嗤~~" Gu Zai also let out a dragon roar.

The on-site staff rushed to arrange the award-winning guests.

David Lynch said, Wu Xiaozu is bragging with reporters outside...

After a few minutes of sensation, when David Lynch and Wu Xiaozu both walked on the stage, the scene regained a little bit of sanity.

Jacob, who has deep merit and fame, sighed softly, and said in a low voice: "Mr. Wu, today I give you the fame, and in the future, you will challenge every step of the way."

I hope you take a breath and light a lamp.Where there are lights, there are people!Cannes needs new lights! '.

Uh, Jacob's original words are definitely not in this way, but the translation probably means that, anyway, you don't understand French.

on the stage.

David Lynch smiled innocently, amidst cheers and insults, he said, "I've wanted to come to Cannes for 20 years. The first time I came, I didn't expect it to come true. I love Cannes—"

As soon as he opened his mouth, the filmmakers and media people in Eastern Europe, represented by the Soviet Union, instantly turned black as Negro, very much like the expressions of Negros when they listened to "Sunshine Rainbow Little White Horse"-David Lynch, you are so funny Who do you shoot at, who do you point at and scold? ? ?

The movie "Wild at Heart" is too free, even in a psychedelic way, which is really not popular with them.

With his pretentiousness, one can imagine how those people at the scene felt.

Boo!

Standing by the side, Wu Xiaozu, who was still clearing the inventory in his mind, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Artists from the Lighthouse Country will indeed attract firepower!

Finally, he was not too nervous.

Got the Palme d'Or again—

What the hell!

Wu Xiaozu narrowed his eyes, it seemed that he had entered the Double Palme d'Or club!
Later generations, the Double Palme d'Or Club is a respectful name for directors who have won the highest award in the competition unit "Palme d'Or" twice at the Cannes Film Festival.

The members who entered this club in history can be counted on two hands.

In this day and age, Xiaozu Wu is the third after Swedish director Alf Sjoberg and Francis Ford Coppola, one of the four American directors!
This is so scary!

How much status in film history has been improved all of a sudden? ? ?
this moment.

What Wu Xiaozu thought in his heart was: Is the public relations and spending money too exaggerated? ? ?

Fortunately, Director Wu is also a blue man who has experienced such turmoil as three farts and group farts...

The atmosphere is still very stable.

Let's get up to the peak!

Gilles Yifeng Jacob will always be my eldest brother, the only 'Brother Feng' in the film industry!
Wu Erwuzai Xiaozu secretly swears in his heart.
