Chapter 181 When the awards are in progress (seeking a monthly ticket)
On the day after its premiere, the Cannes Film Festival catalog gave this evaluation of "Ball Lightning": A film from the East, with a strong suspense color and a return to the essence of science fiction spirit, which is eye-catching.

A total of 4 out of 2.5 points, and the venue magazine gave it a score of [-]. Although the score is not very high, it has been affirmed by film critics and the venue magazine. The next step is to see if it can achieve anything at the awards ceremony.

In the following days, compared to the deserted audience of some movie screenings, the screening hall of "Ball Lightning" seemed very lively. Perhaps among the film festival judges and media critics, "Ball Lightning" It's not the best film, but for ordinary viewers, this film is still more enjoyable to watch than those gratuitous literary films.

The Palais des Festivals was built in 1982 and is an important meeting place for the Cannes Film Festival. The most prestigious Palme d'Or and major awards of the film festival are awarded here.

After nightfall, most of the people who had been scattered in every corner of Cannes during the day came here. The long red carpet stretched from the Palais des Festivals to the avenue. On both sides of the red carpet were reporters from all over the world. The cameras in their hands were missing. It never stops flashing, capturing every move of the red carpet stars.

Since this is an election year in France, even the French president who just won the election is here to promote, which makes tonight's awards ceremony even more lively.

This is the biggest red carpet show in the entire Cannes Film Festival. All the participating stars will gather here tonight. There are countless fans outside. Whenever a favorite star walks by, a burst of cheers will erupt from the crowd.

Guo Fan walked in front, Gu Zhongyu Yang Mi on the left, and Fan Binbin on the right walked the red carpet one by one.

After "Ball Lightning" was screened during the film festival, the film's reputation is still very high in Cannes.It's a pity that Guo Fan and Gu Zhongyu are still fellow travelers to these foreigners, and movie fans will only pay attention to other international superstars.

Although Fan Binbin has no films shortlisted, she is still a regular at Cannes. Reporters are still familiar with her, especially her weird looks.

But today she is relatively low-key, wearing this custom-made dress called "CHINA Porcelain", with patterns of the four ancient beauties painted on the hem, showing off the beauty of the East while walking on the red carpet.

Yang Mi's look today was the Audrey Hepburn makeup that Gu Zhongyu gave him that day. Although she was beautiful and cute, the reporters' main attention was not on her, which made her a little discouraged.

"Hey! All this time has been wasted. These foreign reporters don't even look at me seriously. They look down on me!"

Fan Binbin said: "It's normal. Asian celebrities walk the red carpet like this. You can come to the red carpet every year. Maybe the more times, everyone will know you by face!"

Yang Mi cursed in his heart: Do you think I am a fool?No need for Bi Lian, even though there is no film in the selection, she still insists on coming to participate in the red carpet. She comes every year. It’s not wrong to call you Queen of the Carpet!
Gu Zhongyu originally wanted to walk quickly through the red carpet and go to the awards hall, but Yang Mi and Fan Binbin didn't think so. It was a rare occasion, and even if there were few people paying attention, they had to look good, especially Yang Mi, who was here for the first time. I want to compare with my colleague Fan Binbin.

Fan Binbin was naturally not to be outdone, and the two women began to compete on the red carpet. They took two steps before stopping to pose for reporters to take pictures. Gu Zhongyu shook his head and could only stop and wait for the two women to take pictures.

Originally it could be completed in 2 minutes, but it ended up taking more than ten minutes before a few people entered the Festival Palace, found their seats and sat down.

"Teacher Yang Mi, how did you feel about walking on the red carpet just now?" Guo Fan asked with a smile. Mr. Gu is good at everything, but he has too many romantic debts. When walking on the red carpet, he has to bring one, two, and two kings.

"It's okay. Come next time. Gu De Lai, you will also accompany me in the future!"

"What a beautiful idea. If I wasn't shortlisted, I wouldn't be too lazy to join in the fun." After a few people sat down, the award ceremony was about to begin. Yang Mi asked nervously: "Tell me, can we win this time?" prize?"

Gu Zhongyu and Guo Fan both shook their heads and said: "There is not much hope.

Yang Mi asked reluctantly: "Why? Our movies were very popular when they were screened during the film festival. The foreigners praised our movies for their novelty."

Fan Binbin explained to her: "Being popular and being able to win awards are two different things. If popular works can win awards, what else do these judges do? In order to show that their tastes are unique, the judges are unwilling to award awards. For "Ball Lightning," especially at film festivals here in Europe, it's normal for an award ceremony to be an upset, but it's unusual for it to be awarded to a very popular film."

As a winner of the Tokyo International Film Festival, Fan Binbin has a relatively thorough understanding of the selection preferences and unspoken rules of these international film festivals.

Yang Mi's heart felt cold: "Then our trip this time was in vain?"

Gu Zhongyu said: "Not necessarily. In order to maintain global influence, Cannes sometimes takes special care of films from outside Europe and the United States, and regularly awards awards. This time in the main competition, we are the only Asian film shortlisted. There might be some consolation prizes or something.”

“The consolation prize is not bad, it’s better than leaving empty-handed.”

The awards ceremony officially began soon. After an opening performance, an unknown female host began to step onto the stage to begin the awards process.

The awards at the Cannes Film Festival are different from the American Oscars. Each Oscar award is clearly divided. There are several nominations for each award before the official award. This can increase people's expectations for the awards.

The Cannes Film Festival is much more vague. Only the list of shortlisted films will be announced in advance. As for what awards these films will win and whether they will win, there is no way to guess.

Judging from the current situation of "Ball Lightning", the last thing it may win is the Jury Prize, because the Jury Prize is selected by the jury every year. This award is usually awarded to well-made films that have both artistic value and innovation. There are no specific criteria, and non-drama and literary films may also have a chance to get it.
This time, the person who won the Best Actor at Cannes was Mads Mikkelsen, who played the cannibal doctor Hannibal, and the one who presented him with the award was Sister Gong Li.

Or you could say that she is the eldest sister. Not only does she have a strong aura, but she is also very open-minded!

The Best Actress award was a double-yolked egg, and the winners were two Romanian actresses, the ones who were too ugly to bear to look at, but whose acting skills were very superb at first glance.

The award presenter opened the envelope and announced with a smile: "What will be awarded next is the Jury Prize for the main competition unit of this Cannes Film Festival!"
