Chapter 827： Cannes actor

Unlike award ceremonies such as the Oscars and Golden Globe Awards, the award ceremonies of the three major film festivals are relatively simple. There is no grand party, no exciting awards process, and more like a summary meeting—that is, the closing ceremony. The major awards will be given out, and the works that participated in the film festival will be rewarded, and that's it.

This is also because the main body of the film festival has always been the part of the previous film screenings, and the award ceremony can only be regarded as a summary.

Similarly, the award setting at the film festival is relatively simple. Taking Cannes as an example, in addition to the highest award Palme d’Or, the jury award is equivalent to the second place, which can be regarded as the third place jury award. Best actor, best actress, best director, best screenwriter. There are only seven awards in total.

In addition, there is another award called the Fabian Award (.). This award is also called the International Film Critics Award or the Fabian International Film Critics Award. This is an out-of-conference award. The International Film Critics Association formed its own jury to present awards before the film festival awards ceremony. This award exists in major film festivals around the world, including the three major European film festivals.

Therefore, in fact, the award ceremony of the film festival is more concise, without the noisy and bustling of Oscars and Golden Globes, it is more pure.

After the award ceremony began, there was no cumbersome opening. After the chairman of the jury, Clint Eastwood, took the stage and gave a simple speech, he entered the awarding process.

The first to be awarded is the Best Screenplay Award. This year's Cannes Film Festival can be said to usher in a big explosion, with excellent works gathered, and the overall quality is not inferior to last year's "Farewell My Concubine" and "Farewell Piano".

Gathered Hou last year. filial piety. Xian, Chen. Kay. Song, Ken-Roach (ken.), Mike-Lee (.), Wim-Wenders (.wenders), Takeshi Kitano, Steven-Soderberg (steven.), Andre-Tessine (andre.) Waiting for a group of film masters, the fierce competition made the media amazed. In the end, not only the Palme d’Or appeared in a tie, but also the jury awards, which is a rare occasion.

Although the overall momentum of this year seems to be inferior to last year, because the number of famous directors is slightly lower, the quality of the entries is not inferior. Five or six of them have the strength to aspire to Palme d’Or-in the eyes of the media, this also makes the award ceremony. Before the start, journalists’ speculation about the awards was in full swing and flourished.

In the first award for the best screenplay, there was an upset. The "Pulp Fiction", which was originally considered the most promising award, did not win, but the French film "Extremely Tired(. won.

After "Extremely Tired" was released in Cannes, it was generally considered that "the first half was well-conceived, but the stamina was insufficient". The overall strength was weak and the quality was considered to be inferior to the director Michelle Brown, who has made brilliant achievements in the role of actor. (.) The debut work ten years ago.

As a result, "Extremely tired" took away the first prize of tonight in a dark horse posture, which immediately made the whole award ceremony a little more stunned.

The Best Actress award that followed immediately broke out again. Irina-Jacob (irene.), who was previously known as the biggest favorite, was defeated. Lisi(.), this really broke everyone's glasses.

At this moment, people clearly feel that this is the Cannes Film Festival! People will never be able to make accurate predictions about the awards of Cannes!

In the competition for the best actress, Jelena-Jacob, who is considered to have dedicated an absolutely wonderful performance, is the heroine of the "Blue, White and Red Trilogy: Red", and her performance has even been praised for "brilliant." In addition to her, the heroine Isabel Adjani of "Queen Margot" is also considered a strong contender. She appeared on the big screen again after years of filming, and she still dedicated a stunning performance. .

But the result is neither Elena nor Isabel, but a supporting actress from "Queen Margot", Werna who plays Catherine the Queen of Margot!

Although in the three major film festivals, no distinction is made between the protagonist and the supporting role, only the best actor and the best actress are selected, which has also led to fiercer competition, and many supporting roles also rely on wonderful performances to take away the top three. The actor or queen of the film festival; but this time, Werna defeated two heroines who dedicated their wonderful performances. After the final seal at Cannes, this was really an upset.

After the opening two awards burst into upsets, people dare not hold any hope for the next Best Actor Award. Who knows what the jury will produce.

Before the awards ceremony, the winner of the best actor's voice was the actor Jean-Louis Trinant (jean-.) of the "Blue, White and Red Trilogy of Red", who was in this movie. The performance was worthy of the word "astounding", which made many people marvel at the case.

The actor Oleg Mitchkov of the movie "Scorching Man" is hailed as the biggest discovery in Cannes this year. This tough guy from Russia does not have the impression of being tough and sturdy. Instead, there is a kind of French The melancholy and gorgeous style, a pair of gentle eyes is full of drama. His wonderful performance in "Scorching Sun" was a blockbuster, and instantly made him famous in Europe.

In addition to these two actors, the "alive" actor Ge. You and Hugo of "Pulp Fiction" are slightly inferior, but the gap is not obvious.

Therefore, the competition for awards that was originally convoluted, now that the best screenwriter and best actress are paved, it becomes more and more unpredictable.

Quentin glanced at Hugo who was sitting on his right hand, chuckled lightly, and pressed Hugo's small arm with his elbow, "Nervous?"

There are not many people from the "Pulp Fiction" crew, that is, Hugo, Uma, Quentin and Weinstein brothers. The five people are sitting in a row. Hugo is sitting in the most aisle position. Looking at Quentin, he sketched the corners of his mouth and laughed, "No! mvp's simple and neat answer made Quentin a little embarrassed, and he curled his lips dejectedly.

Hugo is really not nervous at this time. There are many reasons. The most important thing is that after experiencing the tightness of the Oscar, Hugo has seen a little bit of the luck of the award, which is also a sign of maturity. In addition, compared to himself, Hugo still hopes that "Pulp Fiction" can develop in accordance with the historical trajectory and aspire to Palme d’Or. This is the recognition that this work deserves in the long history of history, so he has a personal view of himself. The awards are very open.

Besides, at international film festivals, it is more difficult to win awards, because all shortlisted competition units are eligible to compete for all awards. To put it simply, in the 25 works shortlisted in the main competition, all actors in the competition are qualified to compete for the best actor, which makes the competition for every award in the film festival a mess.

If Hugo remembers correctly, this year "alive" participated in the competition, then the final winner of the best actor should be Ge. Excellent, because he became the first Chinese Cannes actor in history. Hugo is willing to vote for Ge. Excellent vote.

Therefore, when Paul Newman came to the stage as the award-giving guest, Hugo was very relaxed, and there was time to joke with Quentin. Such a situation was absolutely invisible at the Oscars two months ago-at that time Hugo Even if he wanted to make a joke, his expression would be completely stiff.

Paul stood in front of the microphone, and there was not too much polite greetings, he just said a few words on the scene, and was ready to award the award, "1994, the 47th Cannes Film Festival, the best actor won the award. The one is..." Then Paul opened the envelope. If it’s an occasion like the Golden Globes, the guests might have to create suspense, but at the film festival they don’t need it at all, including taking a look at the jam in the envelope and just talking about it.

"Ge. You, from'alive'." After Paul's voice came out of the microphone, applause immediately rang out. Hugo was no exception. He and Quentin looked at each other and smiled, then applauded at the same time. The people around the crew of "Alive" all stepped forward to Ge. You congratulated.

To be honest, Ge. The excellent award is well-deserved. Although it can be regarded as an upset in the eyes of the media, it is at least much better than the previous two awards.

But Paul ignored everyone’s applause, raised his voice again, and said in a louder voice, "Also, Hugo Lancaster, from'Pulp Fiction'." After speaking, Paul also Without waiting for the audience to react, they clapped first, and the applause came out of the microphone, reawakening the slightly sluggish nerves of the audience.

All the audience were stunned at the scene, but they quickly reacted. The collective looked towards the "Pulp Fiction" crew. UU Reading congratulated with applause. The wave of applause at the scene actually took another step, and some people even started to whistle. This is also the birth of double yolk after Palme d’Or produced double yolks last year!

Hugo and Quentin originally stood up and applauded while looking at Ge. Excellent, but before he stood up completely, he heard Paul’s voice. Everyone’s eyes on “Wow! Ting reacted immediately, and the smile on his face immediately bloomed, and then gave Hugo a hug, "Congratulations! Congratulations!" As he said, he slapped the rain fiercely. Fruit's back.

The Weinstein brothers beside him also leaned towards Hugo with a smile, and greeted Hugo with his fan-like palms on Hugo’s shoulders. Hugo grinned in pain; even Uma, who was standing at the farthest end, also had a face. Elegant smiles clapped, but her eyes hidden in the darkness shone with mixed light, maybe even she herself could not read the true meaning of this emotion.

At this time, Hugo used his physical pain to understand the fact: he won the Cannes movie! Support is the biggest motivation for me to continue to create!)
