Chapter 160： Jury's Award

The Cannes International Film Festival is also worthy of the word international.

In addition to the live broadcast of the award ceremony by a French TV station, many other media people will adopt the method of recording and broadcasting.

For a while, German, French, English, and Danish were one after another, and the momentum was huge, and it felt like a lot of face.

Lehmann doesn't know who the winning films in the previous life were. But isn't "Bad Guy" an alternative spoiler.

With the good viewing performance and reputation during the screening, it was nominated for five awards and became the most eye-catching film at the 56th Cannes Film Festival.

After Lehman and his party entered the venue, they were placed in very advantageous seats. They glanced at each other tacitly, and then found a good seat to sit down again.

It seems that the organizers do take them seriously.

The space in the hall is not too big, and certainly not too small. Although the seats can be seen at a glance, they meet the needs and there is still room.

The people in the chairs are all happy, looking forward to whether they can become a winner.

The atmosphere was not bad, not as serious as Oscar's, which also made Lehmann quite relaxed.

There are two units in the film festival, an official competition unit and a non-competition unit. The latter is usually not recognized by people and has gold content. In recent years, it has gradually become a place for Hollywood filmmakers to advertise, such as The shortlisted "The Matrix 2" was released in the United States, and also came to participate in the exhibition.

The highest award is naturally the Palme d'Or, which needs no words.

In fact, the awards process at the Cannes Film Festival is very simple, and it takes less than an hour in general.

At the beginning, the jury came to the stage to thank you.

"It is my honor to participate in this Cannes Film Festival as the chairman of the jury, where we can see the works of the best filmmakers from many countries... Finally, thank you for your support. "Patrice Xiahou finished speaking with a friendly smile.

The official meaning of these few paragraphs is too strong, but there is still applause from the audience.

Next is the organizer's thanks.

An old man stood on it. He has been organizing the Cannes Film Festival for more than 30 years, and he is an uncompromising veteran.

When people are old, they look very openly and speak more pertinently.

"Cannes is a small place, but we hope to help those who love movies, and allow them to have good communication and progress. This is how this film festival was founded, although the direction is a little off. , but it cannot be denied that it contributes to the art of cinema. In the end, I would like to say..."

The old man paused for a while, then continued: "The things we pursue should not deteriorate, and we will stick to the spirit of the standard at the beginning of its establishment."

"Clap clap clap..."

The people under the stage went crazy, clapping their hands desperately, wave after wave.

Lehmann shrank his shoulders and was a little speechless. Art, shouldn't it follow the market trend? The audience doesn't like to watch it, no matter how artistic you are, what can you do?

Besides, what happened to the Cannes Film Festival later, don't you have any doubts in your heart?

Lehman did not expect the incitement that a few words could create. Maybe these people had been aggrieved for too long and needed to vent, and someone just happened to speak their minds. Inspirational, that's how words are used.

These gangs of independent films and niche films are similar to those underground rock youths. As soon as they get motivated, they can be very hysterical and hysterical.

It's a pity that the charm of the movie was misunderstood by many people at the beginning, focusing on the broken affairs between love, love and ethics. It feels like the industry in Nima's island country. It's not bad, and it's elegant.

After a long time, the scene calmed down.

The host made some opening remarks, and the awards ceremony began.

The process is very simple, the links are neat, and there are no riddles. Casually, no nonsense.

Whoever should win the award will go up and take it. Let me give you a brief introduction. The recipient of the award will not cry about how difficult it is to film, what kind of hardships or whatever, it is all joy and gratitude.

Lehman sat down, and after a while, the small prizes were all given out.

However, the Cannes Film Festival also made him feel that there is a kind of rush to queue up, it seems that the organizing committee also likes to "balance".

Best Short Film: Australia.

Camée d'Or: Danish film Reconstruction.

Special Attention Award: Afghan director Osama.

Premiere Attention Award: France.

And the Golden Carriage Award was won by American director Clint Eastwood.

So don't say that the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers like to balance, the rules of the game all over the world are probably like this.

After opening the side dishes, it was time for dinner.

Actually speaking, after these days of warm-up, everyone has guessed who these grand prizes will go to, and they are definitely inseparable.

Just like Tom Cruise, this guy is very calm now.

Because after applying for the best actor, this person took out a large amount of public relations expenses to operate, and just told him that he was very sure.

As for Lehmann, he is clear in his heart that there will be at least one jury award.

Three of the judges are French, why would you say that?

But I was really excited when the results were announced - it wasn't Lehman, it was Tom Cruise.

This fellow gave various thanks on the stage, not to mention, his literary talent is not bad, and the touts are in a good way. It is estimated that someone helped him write the award speech.

When he came down, Lehmann's attention was also focused because the Jury Prize was about to be unveiled.

The host still didn't seem to be procrastinating, and started directly: "The winner is "Bad Guy", and Lehman is invited to direct it."

As soon as the voice fell, the audience was a little restless.

The reason, or the same sentence, is that there are people who gossip about winning films that are close to commercial atmosphere, especially the group of literary and artistic filmmakers who want to win awards far more than Lehman.

In their opinion, literary and artistic films have no audience box office, so don't give some awards to comfort them, otherwise, who would be willing to make them.

Layman didn't care about that, so Te went up calmly.

To tell the truth, the award is heavier than the golden statue in my hand, and I don't know what material it was made of.

"Thank you to the judges for their recognition...Thank you everyone." After a few simple words, he stepped down without any hesitation.

Next, the best screenplay was also given to "Bad Guy", but the most important Palme d'Or went to the literary-oriented film, "The Elephant".

When the biggest award has been awarded, it will also mean the end of the film festival.

If you get it, you won't always be complacent, and if you don't get it, you won't always feel sorry for yourself.

As for the so-called awards, those who care about them naturally care, and those who don’t care don’t even care.

Life, it has always been going on.

In any case, it is best to make a movie without being imprisoned by any platform awards.
