  Chapter 81 A movie with tears and laughter, but can it win an award?

   Applause! Still applause!

  Although the applause in the screening room does not really determine whether a film will win or not, Thierry is still very satisfied.

  The old white flag of France returned to his homeland, and he read "That Summer, the Sea of ​​Tranquility" again.

  This movie really left a deep and beautiful impression on him.

   At that time, when he was in the hotel, he watched it several times, and every time he was moved to tears.

   Thierry decided that this was an extremely good film and that such a film deserved to go to Cannes.

   And now, he is eager to know what the jury thinks of the film, which, after all, is his recommendation.

   However, Thierry hesitated because the chairman of the jury this year is a German.

   Wim Wenders.

   Last year, he won the Best Director Award at the Cannes Film Festival for his film "Under the Berlin Sky".

  A German is the chairman of the jury of the Cannes Film Festival, which makes the old French white flag unhappy, and it is reasonable.

   However, at the moment Wenders, the German director was completely moved by this film.

   Originally, as the chairman of the jury, you don’t need to watch every selected movie like the jury, but this "Summer, Tranquil Sea" is different.

   Before Imamura Shohei's "Black Rain" failed to enter Cannes, Wenders, who is a German, knows why.

  What if the quality of this love movie is not good enough?

   Wouldn't that be a shame for the Cannes Film Festival?

   A German, for the sake of the French film festival, Wenders really didn't consider himself an outsider.

  In the screening hall, the jury has its own special viewing seat, and there is a row of small tables in front of the seats for them to take notes.

   But the film quickly made the judges forget to take notes, as did Wenders.

  The love between two deaf and dumb people is so touching.

  Love doesn't need words at all, just this is wonderful.

   And in the end, Mao didn't come back. The scene of the umbrella and the surfboard made the big guide cry.

   Generally speaking, these reviewers try to control their emotions as much as possible.

   But soon, Wenders laughed again.

  Why do you laugh?

   After the surfboard floats out to sea, Shigeru reappears.

   Of course, this is a tidbit and Takako's memory.

  In the memories, Takako and Shigeru have experienced a lot together, and there are many things that were not recorded by the camera before.

  For example, Takako was on the beach with a surfboard under Shigeru's gaze, simulating surfing.

   First lie on the surfboard with both hands in a rowing gesture, then suddenly get up and stand on the surfboard with slightly bent legs and balance with both hands, as if riding the waves at the moment.

   But in terms of posture, there seems to be nothing to see the waves of the sea.

  Although I only saw her back, it was really vivid, which was really funny and made me laugh.

   Why wasn't this scene included in the feature film?

   Oh, it's probably the last ending, the hero's death was too sudden.

  Wenders knows that his mood has been controlled by the director of this film, but if you control it, you can control it. This is really a good film.

   That being said, this movie was definitely shortlisted for its high quality!

  Wenders is really heartbroken for the French film festival.

  It must be emphasized that the jury of this year's Cannes Film Festival is really not small.

   In addition to Wenders, there is a particularly striking director.

   Krzysztof Kieslowski.

   He was born in Poland and is now a French citizen. He is not yet fifty years old this year, but he is already a master of cinema.

   Last year's "Murdering Short Film" won the Jury Prize, and in 1983, the film "Film Fan" won the top prize at the Moscow Film Festival!

  Although the Moscow Film Festival is not as famous as the three major Europeans and the Oscars, filmmakers around the world are well aware that the Soviet Union's artistic level is very high.

   This bald and messed-up film master has a solemn expression at this moment.

   No one could see his emotions, and in fact, he was thinking of a shot inside.

   In almost all the shots before "That Summer, Tranquil Sea", the characters were placed in the center of the picture.

   And only before Shigeru died, he went surfing alone with a surfboard.

   He walked in and out of the camera.

   obviously paved the way for Shigeru's ending.

   This Iwata Takeshi is a master!

  The jury also includes a well-known European music master, George Dinesch.

   His movie soundtracks are world-renowned and he has won 4 Oscars so far.

  In Dinesh's heart, his lifelong enemy was an Italian named Morricone.

   Well, even Dinesh admits that Morricone is really good, he is not only prolific, but always shocks the world.

Morricone is most famous for the soundtrack of the 'Red Dead Redemption' trilogy, especially the end of the third "Red Dead Redemption", with Tuco (the ugly thief) frantically running in the graveyard of the dead, trying to Discover legendary treasures.

   is "the-ecstasy-of-gold".

   This was rated as the number one in film history by many.

   But now, Dinesh has found another 'enemy'!

   The soundtrack to this movie is amazing!

   "That Summer, Tranquil Sea" is obviously a quiet movie, so how to make a soundtrack to a quiet movie?

  At least, the silence cannot be broken, but music has sound.

  Dine Xu admits that he will do the soundtrack, and I am afraid it will be difficult, at least, it will not be better than this one.

  The soundtrack and the movie itself are completely integrated!

  Cast came out, and Dinesh was still staring at the big screen seriously.

   He was looking for the name of the composer.

   Hisaishi Jean?

  Who is he?

Other members of the jury, such as the well-known Brazilian director Hector Barbant, whose "Kiss of the Spider Woman" won William Hurt an Oscar for Best Actor, a well-known American actress, Sally Field, a veteran female producer Christine Gutz, actor Claude Bailey and others.

   They all gave sincere applause to "That Summer, Tranquil Sea" at this moment, and even many people were secretly wiping their tears.

   Thierry finally felt relieved when he saw this scene.

  …

   Akina did not leave in a hurry, she took the audience in the screening hall and the performance of the jury in her eyes.

  Although we can’t come to a conclusion yet, this is definitely a great success.

  Wait a minute, so to speak.

   Akina thought of her previous promise with Takeshi Iwata, this promise... She couldn't help blushing.

   Do you really want to make that movie?

  Wait and see, the results haven't really come out yet.

   But in that movie, will there be a lot of action scenes?

   Akina doesn't realize yet, she's thinking more about movies and that vicious man.

  …

  Cannes is actually a famous tourist destination in Europe.

  The sea here is clear and transparent, and the sandy beach is delicate and soft, even better than Venice.

   However, there are a lot of people coming from RB this time, not only Iwata Takeshi was surprised, but also made Xiaoren uncomfortable.

   This girl's plan to go to the beach went bankrupt.

   She was prepared for this, and bought a new swimsuit, but unfortunately, she couldn't use it.

   Then what can we do?

  Iwata Takeshi looked at the poor girl, how could he bear it?

   "Let's go to the movies."

   "Ah? That's fine, what are you looking at?"

   "This...that movie should be good."

   Actually, there are a lot of films coming to Cannes, although there are not many films from Asia, but for Europe and the United States, for example, Cannes has a movie corner unit.

   For very little money, you can get a movie to appear in this unit.

  So, out of so many movies, which one to choose to watch?

"Paradise Cinema".

  When Shinobi and Iwata Takeshi were sitting in the screening room, this girl didn't think there was anything special about this movie.

   "Uncle, are you a little nervous?"

   "Watching a movie, what can you be nervous about?"

   "I mean can this movie win an award?"

   "Oh, this..."

   "I heard that the jury is really good."

   "It seems so, but even if we can't win the prize, aren't we here?"

  Xiao Ren looked at the embarrassed look of uncle, and she couldn't help laughing.

   "What if Sister Mingcai doesn't agree?"

  Yes, didn't you make a bet with Sister Mingcai?

  Iwata Takeshi had no choice but to smile, "She will definitely agree."

   "Oh?" Xiao Ren couldn't imagine, how could the uncle be so confident?

   Actually, Takeshi Iwata was a little worried about winning the prize.

  This time is different from the last trip to Venice. He really didn't care much about it last time. Even if he didn't win the prize in Venice, he was considered a success.

   And this time, not only because of Akina, but also because he already has a certain popularity.

   There are a lot of people staring at him. If he can't win a prize, it will be difficult to go back.

   In addition, the jury at Cannes this time was really good.

  Iwata Takeshi was a professional after all, he knew that Krzysztof, this is the true master.

   Later, he filmed the "Blue, White and Red" trilogy, which is a classic in film history.

  Although, France really likes to cut off the colors on both sides of the flag, leaving only the middle.

   But in terms of movies, it is indeed full of artistic force.

   Not to mention characters like Wenders and Dinesh, but actress Sally Field, who later became Forrest Gump's mother.

   So, this time the jury is too strong.

   In addition to the film that came to Cannes this time, isn’t what we have in front of us is a classic of film history?

   "Paradise Cinema" is the first part of Giuseppe Tonadore's time and space trilogy.

  The other two are "The Pianist at Sea" and "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily".

   And Takeshi Iwata remembers very clearly that this "Paradise Cinema" did not win the Palme d'Or.

  The vicious man is really clueless.

   But at this time, the movie started.

  Xiao Ren was attracted all of a sudden, the first shot of "Paradise Cinema" is also a sea.

   Push Lao Buddha's new book, "After being returned by Zongmen, I set up Xianmen on my own! ".
