Chapter 496 Award Ceremony
This is also the first time other main creators of "Old Father" have seen the finished film except Cheng Yu'an.

Before Jiang Wenli and Tong Liya stood up to express their thanks, they were moved by Jiao Huang's acting skills and the final presentation of the film, crying so much that they wore out their makeup.

Cheng Yu'an smiled at Jiang Wenli: "You should save your tears, you will cry in "Dear" later."

The role of Li Hongqin in "Dear" was given to Jiang Wenli.

When Jiang Wenli saw the script of the movie, she liked it so much that she had to act in it at a lower salary.

After its premiere, "Old Father" received high praise from the media and audience: ""Old Father" from China has brought the most exciting performance to this year's Cannes."

"Once again Cheng has demonstrated his genius with the camera."

"He played tricks on the audience, but the audience still loves him!"

Two Venice trophies and one Oscar make Cheng Yu'an very popular in Europe.

Many viewers are looking forward to Cheng Yu'an coming to Cannes.

After the premiere of "Old Father", in order to satisfy the enthusiasm of the audience, the official film festival has greatly increased the number of films.

The popularity of Cannes was transmitted back to China as soon as possible:

""Old Father" premiered in Cannes, watching Li An cry."

"Interview with Cheng Yu'an: A Gift for the Elderly."

"Weibo exclusive. Cheng Yu'an: Worried about the audience leaving early."

"Old Father" also lived up to expectations. On the second day's program, it topped the list of released films with a super high score of 3.5 (out of 4.0).

The crew of "Old Father" was in full swing, and the three main creators, Cheng Yu'an, Jiang Wenli and Tong Liya, were so busy that they didn't even have time to drink water.

"This shooting method is indeed very bold." Cheng Yu'an was interviewed by the movie channel, "I was worried before, and now I am worried that the audience will scold me for mysteries when it is released in China."

I predicted the reaction of the audience, I will slander myself first, then you will not be able to slander me.

The reporter asked him which movie he liked the most this year.

Cheng Yu'an directly said that it was "Drunken Country Ballad" by the Coen Brothers.

But the reporter opposite seems to be a fan of Hirokazu Kore-eda: "Doesn't Director Cheng like "Like Father, Like Son"?"

"I like Hirokazu Kore-eda a lot, but Hirokazu Kore-eda is a bit less Hirokazu Kore-eda on Like Father Like Son."

"Specifically?"

"The script of "Like Father, Like Son" obviously draws on the creative techniques of Hollywood genre. It is always strange that strong dramatic conflicts appear in Hirokazu Kore-eda's shots. But "Like Father, Like Son" maintains Hirokazu Kore-eda's usual standard, which is still very Good movies."

The popularity of "Old Father" only lasted for two days, because "Adele's Life" was released on the 22nd.

In the past two years, there has been a strong LGBT trend in the West, and "Adele's Life" just hits the political correctness, which aroused the carnival of Cannes audience and judges!

But Cheng Yu'an didn't like this film: "They call it real, but they just don't know how to shoot it. Close-ups with a smug face, and long shots for erotic scenes are called real? Then I'll make a documentary that doesn't cut at all."

But Zhang Yimou liked it very much after watching it: "The rough technique seems to be done deliberately by the director, which just reflects the truth. It is exactly the same as your "Old Father". If you take the way of showing off skills, he will say that he is real. .”

Zhang Yimou's trading market has been like a fish in water these days, "Pain and Glory" and "Return" have sold out, and "Pain and Glory" is the best seller, because it is also a gay film.

After "Adele's Life" was released, it directly beat "The Old Father" and reached the top of the show with a score of 3.6.

And, according to the tabloids, Jacobs hinted at the jury meeting that Steven Spielberg was keeping the Palme d'Or in France.

But this gossip did not get the attention of the media, it was only circulated in the circle of directors.

However, judging from the handicap offered by the gambling company, the outside world is indeed more optimistic about "Adele's Life". Its odds of winning the Palme d'Or are 1.18, while "Old Father" is 1.77.

But in terms of the jury prize and best director award, the odds of "The Old Father" are very low.

It seems that the spinach company thinks that both films will win, it's just that one is big and the other is small.

"The difference is too much, I don't want to lose face." Cheng Yu'an was annoyed and funny when he read the odds list.

But he himself has no confidence in the Palme d'Or. In terms of technique, "The Old Father" is of course [-] blocks ahead of "Adele", but it can't hold back the political correctness of others.

Since "Adele" was released, it has won consistent praise from film critics and the media. The film critics of "French Film" have extremely high scores, and almost all film critics commented that this is the Palme d'Or in their minds.

Although the Cannes practice is that the higher the score, the worse the death, but the news that Jacob wants to keep the Palme d'Or in France must be groundless, and there are certain reasons.

On the 26th local time, the crew of "Old Father" received a call from the jury and invited the crew to participate in the evening awards ceremony.

"A Touch of Sin" also received an invitation call.

"News from Cannes, the two main competition films of the Chinese Language Corps have received invitations to the awards ceremony. The award is a foregone conclusion, and the crew is rushing to the Film Palace."

The award ceremony was hosted by French actress Audrey Tautou, the star of "Amelie".

The crew of "The Old Father" only had Cheng Yu'an who knew French, and the others couldn't understand what Tatu was talking about.

Cheng Yu'an had to work part-time as an interpreter for them.

The first to open is the Palme d'Or for Best Short Film, which was won by the Korean film "Safety".

Later, the Golden Camera Award for Best Debut was awarded by Zhang Ziyi and "Mother of the New Wave" Agnès Varda.

Zhang Ziyi was standing on the stage in a black evening dress. Although she was an international member, she was still very nervous. The English award speech was a bit like memorizing a manuscript in advance.

He jumped out word by word, and he said it slowly.

Agnès Varda took the conversation, talked a few words about the importance of the photographer, and then awarded the award to the Singaporean film "Parents Are Not Home".

After these two awards were awarded, it was the turn of the most important main competition tonight.Audrey Tautou ceremoniously introduces Jury President Steven Spielberg.

Applause.

Spielberg went on stage and then introduced the judges of the main competition unit to appear one by one.

The appearance of each judge drew warm applause and screams from the audience.

Nicole Kidman's finale, white dress with coiled golden hair and flaming red lips, what a stunning beauty.

After introducing the judges, Spielberg delivered a chairman's speech, and then the awards for the main competition unit began.

The Cannes awards are very special. The members of the jury sit on the stage, and the award presenters of each award come out to give speeches one by one, and then the chairman of the jury announces the winners.

The first award is Best Actor.

Obtained by Bruce Dern.

Best Actress was presented by Orlando Bloom, Prince of the Elf.

It's too long.

Spielberg has announced that Berenice Bejo will be the actress of "Once Upon a Time".

This year's first award-winning French film was born.

Berenice Bejo covered her mouth in disbelief that she had won.

After delivering his acceptance speech and taking pictures on the stage, Bejo waved to the director Asghar Farhadi who was carried down, signaling him to take a group photo with him on stage.

According to the tradition of dividing the cake in Cannes, it is impossible for "After the End" to win the award, and everyone also sent Farhadi to the stage with applause for a group photo.

Awards for Best Screenplay will follow:

"The award for the best screenplay is A Touch of Sin, Chief Jia Ke."

Chief Jia is a regular visitor to Cannes, and the crew of "Old Father" also stood up and applauded to congratulate the award winner. The chief went to the crew seat and hugged Cheng Yu'an.

"Congratulations." Cheng Yu'an congratulated in the ear of the section chief.

"I'll see you later." Chief Jia said with a smile.

Jia Kechang came to the stage and delivered a very interesting acceptance speech in both English and Chinese. Let’s try a few sentences:

"...and also thanks shanghai film group Mr. Ren Zhonglun, and also thank you Jin Provincial Film Group..."

Although the section chief said at the beginning: "I try to speak English, because my English is very poor."

But the "Old Father" crew in the audience was still trying to hold back their laughter. Jiang Wenli said: "I told him how many times to practice English, why do I still say this."

Cheng Yu'an smiled and said, "That's a good way to say it, as long as you understand it."

But the last sentence that Director Jia said on stage made Cheng Yu'an a little uncomfortable. The author Jun tried to translate: "China is developing very fast now, and I think movies are the best way to freedom for me."

I really can't blame Cheng Yu'an's nervousness for thinking too much. With a film like "A Touch of Sin" winning the best screenplay at Cannes, and giving such an award acceptance speech, it's hard not to make people think too much.
