The closing ceremony of the Festival de Cannes is coming as scheduled, and the guests at the closing ceremony can see the influence of the Festival de Cannes in Europe and even the world.

Just like at the Venice Film Festival, the day before the closing ceremony, Wu Jianye received a call from the Cannes Film Festival, informing them to attend the closing ceremony tomorrow.

This means that the movie "The Last Emperor" won the award, as for what the award is, it is unknown.

Wu Jianye led his crew to the red carpet, just like his previous performance, Wu Jianye did not stop too much on the red carpet.

Blanket star, that's a special case of female stars.

I thought that the dress that I didn't see at the Venice Film Festival would fall off, but I could see it in Cannes, after all, this is the birthplace of this matter, but it's a pity that when Sophie Marceau, the ancestor of the blanket star, has not yet appeared, this profession has not been carried forward.

Awards ceremonies all over the world are actually similar, fighting for stars, fighting for directors, and comparing qualifications.

The awards ceremony was filled with gags to liven up the atmosphere, and the awards ceremony teased the nominees, the award-winning actors, or thanked everyone behind the scenes.......

Looking at the guests on the stage who received the awards one by one, Zhao Fei also began to slowly get nervous, this time "The Last Emperor" was nominated for two awards.

Director's Award and Palme d'Or!

"Old Wu, do you have confidence?" Zhao Fei was even more nervous than Wu Jianye.

Wu Jianye shook his head with a wry smile, "This question, you have been asking since you came to Cannes." ”

Zhao Fei rubbed his hands together with a smile on his face, "Isn't this nervous, this is the Cannes Film Festival, if you win an award, it will be really awesome!"

Regarding the variables at this Cannes Film Festival, Wu Jianye can only say that he has no bottom in his heart!

While the two were chatting, Jeremy Thomas and Theo Angelopoulos, who were the guests of honor, had already taken the stage.

Jeremy Thomas held the envelope in his hand and said with a smile: "It's an honor to be the guest of honor for the best director at this year's film festival, there are both familiar and unfamiliar faces in this film festival, but what is certain is that these faces are the best in the film industry!"

"Thomas, as a producer, you should have dealt with directors the most, I want to ask you what you think of the profession of director!" said Theo Angelopoulos.

Jeremy Thomas is not a director, in fact, he has only directed one film work in his career, and more as a filmmaker.

1980's "The Great Rock Deception", 1983's "Merry Christmas on the Battlefield", and later "Silver Empire" starring Guo Tianwang, he was the editor of that movie.

On top of that, he is also the producer of Bertolucci's version of The Last Emperor.

When Bertolucci filmed "The Last Emperor", the investment of $26 million was almost found by him alone.

As for Theo Angelopoulos, he is also a big man, a frequent visitor to the three major European film festivals, and he was also influenced by Godard to enter the film industry, and later won the Palme d'Or at the 51st Cannes Film Festival.

"I think that the director is the soul of a movie, or it can be said that the film is the director's art, and the director controls the whole movie, allowing the audience to enter the world of images and feel the lives of the characters in the movie, which is the charm of the film and the director's ability ........"

Theo Angelopoulos smiled: "Then what are you most optimistic about this year's director winning the Best Director award?"

Jeremy Thomas smiled and glanced at Theo Angelopoulos, "You're offending me!"

But then Jeremy Thomas continued: "If you want to say that you are most optimistic about that director, it is better to say that you are most like working with that director. ”

"Oh, that's the director?"

"Wu Jianye, the director of "The Last Emperor", in fact, when Wu filmed this movie, I already liked the "Last Emperor" of the same name written by Director Wu, but unfortunately Director Wu shot this movie himself, but after watching this movie, I was deeply impressed by Director Wu's ability, this is an epic movie. ”

Theo Angelopoulos laughed: "It seems that you voted for Director Wu with one vote in your hand?"

The people who could see Wu Jianye in the field all turned their eyes to this side, and Wu Jianye nodded with everyone with an elegant smile.

"Alright, let's not sell it here, let's announce this award!" continued Theo Angelopoulos.

Theo Angelopoulos then took the envelope in Jeremy Thomas's hand, opened it, and then showed a look of surprise.

"The winner of the Best Director at the 40th Cannes Film Festival is--"

Jeremy Thomas took the envelope at this time and said with a smile: "The Last Emperor Wu Jianye!"

After Wu Jianye heard his name, he was slightly stunned at first, then showed a surprised expression, stood up, hugged Zhao Fei, Mu Deyuan, Zun, and Chen Shenhug, then straightened his suit and walked onto the podium.

Jeremy Thomas had already opened his arms, and Wu Jianye smiled and hugged him, "Director Wu, congratulations, I think you deserve this award!"

"Thank you, Thomas!" Wu Jianye thanked.

"There's a chance to work together!" said Jeremy Thomas, patting Wu Jianye on the shoulder again.

Later, Wu Jianye hugged Theo Angelopoulos and thanked him.

Holding the trophy in his hand, Wu Jianye raised it vigorously, and then smiled.

"Thank you Jeremy Thomas and Theo Angelopoulos for the awards, thank you to the Festival de Cannes, and thank you to the jury. ”

Then Wu Jianye took a deep breath, glanced at the audience, and slowly raised his voice, still in his signature Chinese, and said: "I feel very honored to be able to stand on this stage. However, I would like to say that the increasingly mature Chinese-language films will become an important part of world cinema. And I will bring more and better Chinese films to every corner of the world with my compatriots! Thank you to the judges, and thank you again to Thomas and Angelopoulos for personally presenting this award to me, which is an honor for me. ”

This time, Wu Jianye's acceptance speech did not throw out such a classic quotation that the nation is the world as it did at the Venice Film Festival before.

This made the Cannes Film Festival a little disappointed, but Wu Jianye's acceptance speech still made the Cannes Film Festival a lot higher, and the Cannes Film Festival has been committed to the development of global influence, as Wu Jianye said, Chinese films are slowly growing.

In the past, for Europe, the main force of Chinese films was actually Xiangjiang films, but now there is a Wu Jianye in China, who is leading the slow development of Chinese films in the European film market, with the future development of China, the influence of Chinese films will also be more and more, and the Cannes Film Festival naturally hopes that this development can bring them greater influence.

But then when Yvemund presented the Palme d'Or to the movie "Under the Sun of Satan", the boos that rang out from the audience made Jill Jacob and others show dissatisfied expressions.......

The house magazine won the Palme d'Or for the low score.......

.......

The 40th edition of the Festival de Cannes is destined to be a highly controversial awards ceremony.

The first Chinese director to win the Best Director at the Cannes Film Festival, won the Palme d'Or for the lowest score in the house magazine.

After the award ceremony, Jill Jacob's face was obviously not good-looking, but he still showed his smile when facing Wu Jianye.

There is no doubt about the excellence of "The Last Emperor", Wu Jianye's award can not only bring a topic of conversation to the Cannes Film Festival, but his award is not discussed in class.

In fact, from the very beginning, this film festival was a competition between "The Last Emperor" and "Under the Berlin Sky", according to Jill Jacob's idea, the best result was that Wu Jianye won the best director with "The Last Emperor", and "Under the Berlin Sky" won the Palme d'Or.

Unfortunately, "Under the Berlin Sky" became the biggest loser at the Cannes Film Festival.

The biggest favorite for the Palme d'Or ended up empty-handed.

At the celebration of the Cannes Film Festival.

"Director Wu, congratulations on winning the Best Director award!" said Jill Jacob with a smile on his face.

"Thank you to the Cannes Film Festival for your appreciation!" said Wu Jianye, who maintained a humble attitude in front of Gil Jacob.

Martin Kamits was naturally also at the celebration banquet, "Director Wu, this time we can talk about the screening rights of "The Last Emperor", right?"

Although Wu Jianye did not plan to sell the French screening rights of "The Last Emperor" to MK2, it was impossible for him to directly refuse Martin Kamitz.

"I wonder how much you're going to bid, Mr. Kamitz?"

"$100,000! I believe that's a very high offer!" said Martin Kamitz with a laugh.

Wu Jianye touched Martin Kamits with a wine glass, and then said with a smile: "This price is indeed very fair, but we have a saying in Huaxia called shopping around, so let's do it, three days later, we will definitely give Mr. Kamits a clear answer!"

"If Director Wu still has some consideration for this offer, we can adjust it a little more!" Martin Kamits said seriously.

With Wu Jianye winning the Best Director at the Cannes Film Festival, Wu Jianye's fame is bound to blow a whirlwind in Europe, and the movie "The Last Emperor" will definitely rise at that time.

However, Wu Jianye had no choice but to apologize again for Martin Kamitz's enthusiasm, but he did not directly veto Martin Kamitz's request, but only said that he would seriously consider Martin Kamitz's suggestion.

Soon, the news of Wu Jianye's award at Cannes spread to China, which was naturally deliberately spread by Tangting Culture, and then all major official newspapers in China began to spread the news.

Some local newspapers have even called Wu Jianye the most well-known director in China.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with them saying this, if you only talk about the influence of Chinese directors in the world at this time, Wu Jianye is indeed well-deserved.

has won the Golden Lion Award at the Venice Film Festival and the Best Director at the Cannes Film Festival, such an honor is indeed a lot higher than that of domestic directors, but if it is only said that it is domestic, Wu Jianye can only be said to have reached the top ranks, but compared with those old directors who are inextricably linked with domestic high-level directors, it is still a little worse.

However, when it comes to the group of fifth-generation directors, Wu Jianye has deservedly become the leader of the fifth-generation directors.

No one is raising objections to this, even Chen Kaige, who was very amazing in the first movie, is still not enough to watch in front of Wu Jianye.

In fact, Wu Jianye's current path in the international arena is not much different from the original fifth-generation director.

The Nantes Tricontinentals Film Festival is of great significance to the fifth and sixth generations of directors.

In his previous life, Zhang Yuan, the original leader of the sixth generation, was also forced to participate in Nantes in desperation, and re-followed the old path of the fifth generation, which began to become famous.

You must know that before, the movie "Mother" only sold a total of 3 copies in the mainland, and one of them was bought by the Film Archive.

It's really cold...... The movies of the King of Sunglasses are at least very aesthetically pleasing to the movies, and these sixth-generation ......

Zhang Yuan's success aroused a group of sixth generations who were in an impasse, and this led to the creative enthusiasm of Wang Xiaoshuai, Lu Xuechang, Lou Ye, Wang Chao and others. Meantime...... The film bureau fought against these 'rebels'.

This led to the famous first 'Seven Hypocrites Incident'. A song "Cool Cool" was given to them.

They are suppressed by the 'official', but to the delight of the Western world...... The identity of this group of people in international films has changed from a simple 'underground film' to a "dissident" in the Chinese film industry, and they have begun to make a name for themselves internationally......

In this matter, roughly quite stubborn menopause bumps into the middle two symptoms of alien molecules!

For the fifth generation, at least they are still a little bit of a backbone in the early stage. Whether it is Lao Mouzi or Chen Kaige, although they focus on the disadvantaged groups in their movies, they are not blindly kitsch.

Sixth generation ...... Don't mention it.

Now, Wu Jianye has made a name for himself at the Cannes Film Festival, as long as he participates in the Cannes Film Festival more often, just like Hou Xiaoran, even if he is not shortlisted, he will come to Cannes to go around, and he will be regarded as a descendant of the Cannes Film Festival.

Then Wu Jianye can use this to develop his strength at the Cannes Film Festival, just like the king of sunglasses, but this kind of thing has to come slowly, and there is no hurry.

For ordinary moviegoers, the end of the closing ceremony of the Cannes Film Festival means the end of the Cannes Film Festival, but for thousands of filmmakers, the real Cannes Film Festival really begins.

Matthew Murphy was also in pain and happy at this time.

As the titular investor of "The Last Emperor", Phantom Entertainment, Matthew Murphy was naturally surrounded by a lot of people at this time, but it was a pity that it was .......

Matthew Murphy knows that he is in this matter, he has no right to speak at all, and all the offers have to be handed over to Wu Jianye to make a decision!
