May 13th!

The sea breeze blows, bringing a hint of seafood, but it is not annoying.......

In front of the Cannes Film Festival Palace, many reporters have been waiting for the sun, which has set on the seaside, dedicating the last trace of afterglow here.

At this time, the red carpet of the closing ceremony of the Cannes Film Festival did not want to accommodate more than a dozen people side by side in the future, but it also provided a place for more journalists and fans.

At this time, both fans and reporters are looking forward to the annual closing ceremony of the Cannes Film Festival is about to start, and many fans are speculating about who will win the major awards at this film festival!

When the first car came, the reaction of fans was relatively calm, after all, everyone knows that the first to appear is often the most unknown star.

But the reporters at the scene didn't think so, everyone knew that this film festival, in order to highlight the importance of the participating films, the judges would take the lead, leaving the excitement behind to those stars and crews!

I have been looking for them for two weeks, and this is the best time to interview Wu Jianye.

So when the car stopped at the entrance of the red carpet, many reporters were holding their cameras.

The first to get off the bus was naturally Louis Mahler, the chairman of the jury of this year's festival!

After taking a few photos as usual, everyone was expecting the second one to get out of the car.

did not disappoint everyone, and after the Golden Harvest Louis Mahler was Wu Jianye, who made a huge storm at this film festival.

Wow!

Woo!

Cheers and boos fly together!

It was the fans who cheered Wu Jianye, and the French men who were not angry that Wu Jianye became 'good friends' with their French goddesses Isabelle Adjani and Sophie Marceau one after another!

Although both Isabel Adjani and Sophie Marceau once said in an interview that they were just good friends with Wu Jianye, someone has to believe this!

After Louis Malle heard the complicated sound, he instantly understood what the reason was, and glanced at Wu Jianye with a wry smile and said with a smile: "Director Wu, it seems that not everyone likes you!"

At the previous opening ceremony, Wu Jianye was the highest cheer among the nine judges, but now the cheers are still there, but there are a lot more boos.

After a few days of getting along, Wu Jianye also learned about the character of the old man Louis Mahler, although he looked a little strict, but he was an old child in private.

smiled: "It's okay, I just like to see them look like they can't get used to me and can't do anything about me!"

Louis Malle was even more crying and laughing when he heard this, but he still had to keep a smile on his face at all times: "You!"

Because it was the nine judges, one car naturally could not be loaded, but three cars arrived together, and the other judges also got off the car one after another.

Wu Jianye, Louis Mahler and another judge walked in front, forming a three-person team.

While thinking about the reporters from all walks of life waving, everyone slowly walked to the door of the Festival Palace.

During the period, many reporters shouted Wu Jianye's name, hoping to interview him, but unfortunately on the entire red carpet, Wu Jianye also waved to everyone with a smile, as for being interviewed, it was impossible!

The other judges also knew what had happened, and when they saw Wu Jianye's face not changing, they also expressed their admiration in their hearts.

When the nine people came to the gate of the Festival Palace, they must have been interviewed by the host of the scene.

However, after all, this is the official host of the Cannes Film Festival, so it is naturally impossible to ask Wu Jianye about the scandal, which makes the reporters in the audience a little indignant when they see him asking some questions that are not salty or light, and they can't wait to take his place on stage to ask Wu Jianye.

As Wu Jianye and others entered the Festival Palace, other stars and crews also walked on the red carpet.

Obviously, there were many more stars attending the closing ceremony than during the opening ceremony, and many Hollywood stars also came here.

And these Hollywood stars have also caused a huge sensation.

It's just that after Wu Jianye's scandal, the atmosphere at the scene always felt less lively than when Wu Jianye came here just now.

Halfway through the red carpet process, Chen Kaige also walked on the red carpet with the crew of "Farewell My Concubine", in addition to the previous Zhang Guolu, Zhang Fengyi, Gong Li, and Jiang Zhiqiang.

Several men are basically in black suits, white shirts, with black bows, only Zhang Guoxuan put a white bow on top of his white shirt, matching his temperament, like a noble son who came out of the castle.

And the most attractive reporter film of the entire crew is naturally Zhang Guoxuan.

Gong Li is wearing a black and white dress, which is decent, and compared with other female stars, she is much more conservative, and there is no way to compare with "The City is Full of Golden Armor"!

Several people walked slowly on the red carpet, and at the same time cooperated with the reporters on the scene to take pictures, just like Gong Li's dress, decent!

.......

Wu Jianye sat in his place and saw Chen Kaige and others entering, just like during the opening ceremony, everyone nodded and greeted each other, and did not say anything.

However, I could see a trace of joy on Chen Kaige's face that couldn't be hidden.

Whether it is the Berlin Film Festival, the Venice Film Festival or the current Cannes Film Festival, there is actually an unspoken rule, that is, before the closing ceremony, the participating films will be told whether it is necessary to stay at the festival.

Those who received the notice, although they didn't say it explicitly, they have also told each other through this unspoken rule that your film has won an award and you need to stay to receive the award.

Otherwise, the award-winning film leaves the film festival early, and no one accepts the award when the award is presented, which will be embarrassing.

Of course, they won't tell each other what awards they won!

Chen Kaige received such a notice, although he didn't know what awards his film had won, but at least he won the award!

At the end of the opening ceremony, it was completely dark.

In the festival palace, the lights are brilliant at this time, and the process at this time is actually no different from the opening ceremony, it is still the host who is forced to talk on the stage, forcing everyone to talk about it, which makes everyone laugh twice.

Louis Malle, as the chairman of the jury, will bring the other judges to the stage to speak, and the content of this speech is more to explain what their criteria are for this selection!

Then they stepped down and with the opening song and dance ended, the 46th Festival de Cannes officially began!

Compared with when everyone else is looking forward to various awards, Wu Jianye is much more relaxed, as a judge of this Cannes Film Festival, he naturally knows who each award will go to early.

However, each jury has a contract with the Cannes Film Festival, which must not be revealed until the award is announced!

The first awards are naturally those less important awards, Wu Jianye sat in the audience, and his posture was much more serious than when he participated in the Academy Awards.

After all, these award-winning films were voted for by themselves.

It's a sense of engagement.

At the same time, Wu Jianye also clearly knows that these less important awards are only relative to the entire film industry, but for the winners themselves, they are extremely important.

For example, the International Film Critics Award, the Catholic Contribution Award, and the Best Cinematography Award are not so important in the eyes of Wu Jianye or ordinary fans, and the people who come up to receive the award are not so familiar, but as long as they win this award, it is a great encouragement for these people, and they even have a certain prestige in their subdivided industry.

For example, Chen Yingying from Vietnam won the Caméra d'Or award for "Green Papaya Fragrance", and at this time he was crying bitterly and expressing all kinds of thanks on it.

For such a gesture, the longer Wu Jianye stays in this industry, the more he understands the thoughts of these people.

First of all, it must be said that Cannes, as one of the three major film festivals in Europe, has an authority that outsiders cannot understand, and it is indeed a great encouragement for them to be able to win such an award.

Everyone needs encouragement!

Whether you are an ordinary person, the richest man, or an industry tycoon, you need encouragement, but this encouragement should form a contrast with the identity of the person being encouraged.

If a beggar encourages the richest man, the richest man may not give the beggar a chance.

A newcomer to the industry, encourage the industry boss, and the industry boss will only politely say thank you, and when he turns around, he may ask which stupid fork he is!

The asymmetry of identity will cause a stronger sense of honor.

This year's Cannes Film Festival is definitely an unforgettable film for Asian cinema, for example, Hou Xiaoyuan's "Dream Life" from Wanwan won the Jury Prize at this Cannes Film Festival.

And everyone knows that Chen Kaige's "Farewell My Concubine" won the Palme d'Or at this Cannes Film Festival, in fact, in addition to this award, "Farewell My Concubine" also won the International Federation of Film Critics Award.

Chen Kaige walked on the podium for the first time and was very happy, but Wu Jianye, who was familiar with Chen Kaige, saw a trace of loss in his eyes, which is also understandable, after all, in everyone's hearts, they all think that if they get an award, there will be basically no chance for the next awards.

A simple International Film Critics Alliance Award is obviously not able to satisfy Chen Kaige's appetite!

After giving an acceptance speech, Chen Kaige went down.

The subsequent awards were also uneventful, until it was time for the Best Actor award, and the atmosphere in the festival palace became tense.

Wu Jianye glanced back, and could see the nervous expression on Zhang Guoluan and Zhang Fengyi's faces.

Wu Jianye smiled slightly and didn't say anything!

The award presenters on the stage, after some ridicule, took out the envelope that had been prepared a long time ago.

"Wow!" an exaggerated expression made the atmosphere in the audience even more tense.

"The winner of the Best Actor at the 46th Cannes Film Festival was ......"

Tense music sounded in the festival palace, and every nominated actor flashed on the big screen.

Wu Jianye saw Zhang Guolu sitting there with a smile on his face through the screen.

“....... The movie "Farewell My Concubine" Zhang Guoxuan!"

Bang Bang Bang!

At this time, Wu Jianye had already stood up and began to applaud.

When I turned around and saw that the crew of "Farewell My Concubine" was already boiling, the entire crew stood up and hugged Zhang Guoxuan, and Zhang Guoxuan's face also showed an excited expression.

In another time and space, Zhang Guolu did not win the Best Actor at this Cannes Film Festival, but David Hughes, the actor of the British movie "Red 'Fruit'", won the Best Actor Award this year!

There have always been two rumors here, the first is that the jury is playing a balance, thinking that "Farewell My Concubine" has already won the Palme d'Or, so it should no longer give the Best Actor award to Zhang Guoxuan.

Another rumor is that among the nine judges, Gary Oldman voted for Zhang Guolu for Best Actress!

This made Zhang Guoxuan miss the award for Best Actor!

But no matter which rumor it is, Wu Jianye has not encountered it.

However, when watching the movie, Wu Jianye still deliberately said it to the other eight judges, this is voting for the best actor, for Wu Jianye's suggestion, have you heard Wu Jianye don't know.

But in the end, when counting the votes, Zhang Guolu did win David Thewris by one vote and won the best actor at the Cannes Film Festival.

However, this also made Zhang Guolu the first Chinese actor to win the Best Actor award at the Cannes Film Festival ahead of Ge You!

Zhang Guoxuan tidied up his suit and walked towards the podium elegantly.

When passing by the place where the judges were sitting, Wu Jianye took the initiative to walk over and hug Zhang Guoxuan to encourage!

"Congratulations!" Wu Jianye said with a smile.

"Thank you!" Zhang Guoxuan also said seriously.

Wu Jianye: "This is what you deserve!"

In Wu Jianye's opinion, Zhang Guolu's performance is indeed better than David Hughis's, a person who has never been exposed to Peking Opera at all, can perform so perfectly in the movie, coupled with Zhang Guolu's portrayal of the character of Cheng Dieyi, Wu Jianye thinks that Zhang Guolu deserves his name!

After receiving the trophy in the hands of the award presenters, Zhang Guolu expressed his gratitude to the conference.

However, in order to avoid suspicion, Zhang Guoxuan did not mention Wu Jianye's name, even if he could participate in this movie, it was Wu Jianye who pulled the strings!

Zhang Guolu's appropriate acceptance speech once again won applause from the scene.

After he returned to his position, Zhang Fengyi showed an envious expression, but as the one who played the most games with Zhang Guoxuan in the movie, he understood what Zhang Guolu had paid for this movie, and he was happy for him in addition to envy!

Chen Kaige also sent blessings, but the depression in his heart became more and more obvious!

The awards ceremony continued, and the awards were announced, until the final moment when the most important awards of the Festival de Cannes were to be awarded, and the atmosphere reached its climax.

On the stage, under the introduction of the host, Wu Jianye and Isabel Adjani walked on the podium as the guests of the Palme d'Or!
