Chapter 0348 Prize!
Compared with the opening ceremony, the closing ceremony of the Cannes Film Festival is more bleak, or more pure, most of them are invited filmmakers to watch the ceremony, award awards, and those who are likely to receive awards, and of course there are no awards.
But overall, it's a matter of the festival's own family.
"We should let Qi Xi and Yuan Yuan come, and Yuan Yuan is also likely to win the queen. Ji Ming looked at the excitement of "Children of Jianghu", not that there were many people in their crew, but the Chinese filmmakers on the scene, many of whom were around Jia Zhangke and Zhao Tao.
To be honest, although Zhao Tao is not the biggest hit, he is also the TOP3 candidate for the actress, and the section chief has entered the gate of Cannes five times, maybe there will be a qualified actress? Everyone is also mentally prepared, let's talk about it at this time, if you really really win the award, you will have the affection to invite an interview or something, including people with other roles, maybe you can find a new actress to stand on a platform or something, and what activities to participate in, it's easy to say.
The authority of Cannes and enough to make Yuxian descend different from a number of Chinese literary films, this return to China, there is no need to worry about losing money, not to mention, Cannes has passed, aren't there all kinds of film festivals in China?
It's just not as hot as it gets.
There is not much hope of winning the prize.
In addition to the evaluation of "Film Manual", which is unexpectedly high, I really can't see any signs that "Immortals" can break through from a number of strong films.
However, when Ji Ming's red carpet is met, you still have to pay attention.
Even with Martin Scorsese, Spike Lee and other Hollywood directors, as well as actresses such as Cate Blanchett, LΓ©a Seydoux, and Twilight Girl on the jury, as well as Oscar-winning actor Adrien Brody, plus well-known filmmakers in Europe to help, but the reporters who yearn for surprises are still very much looking forward to the Chinese male gods who have been praised for both shots.
But it's a pity that Ji Ming is relatively conservative today, although there is an inevitable gap, he still took out an elegant buff, but there is only one smile on his expression throughout the whole process, he walks in a proper manner, does not have any throwing kisses, and does not show the perfect line from the chin to the Adam's apple, let alone staring at which female reporter discharges, just like this, in the shouts of reporters, he walked the red carpet in less than a minute, Wen Yan still gave him time alone, but he probably stood one more round, here, left, center, right, left, center, right, and stepped out of the red carpet and entered the movie palaceγ
Oops, disappointed.
Why isn't this person like other Chinese stars, why don't you leave, and you won't leave if you block others.
But looking back at the photos, you can still see the charming posture, and the more you look at it, the more you feel good. For example, Fula, she secretly decided to put this photo in the report in Taiwan, ah.
Chinese reporters huddled together and muttered.
Waiting for the reporters to enter, there is a photo area, after receiving the award, they will be in a corner of the stage, and then the judges and the winners will take a group photo together, and then step down from the stage. A long time ago, Cannes didn't have such a big formation, it was a small platform, and it was awarded and then it came down to be interviewed.
"Can Zhao Tao win the award?"
"I don't think it's very likely, but it's not good to say. This year, there are no awards for "Earth", and there are no awards for "Pluto", so only the main competition remains. The award or something, "Jianghu" doesn't seem to be very competitive, and the whole movie doesn't seem to be new, and the film award is estimated to be hanging, so there is only the actor and the queen script director, the actor is counted, the director is also counted, and the section chief doesn't have anything new to put in, the script, emm...... This is the queen. β
The on-site reporters are all very good at watching movies, after so many sessions, plus they have been in the atmosphere of the film festival for more than ten days, looking at those field magazines, how those European media evaluate the film, and many rumors in the market have not fallen, so it is quite organized.
The one-eyed reporter still thinks it's unlikely: "If you talk about the actress, I really think that "Little Guy", the heroine of the Kazakh movie, is estimated to be a little more possible, very realistic, very powerful, I think that in this year's atmosphere, the meaning of the actress is very different, you think about single mothers, encountering so many difficulties, isn't it very relevant?"
β...... It's not so ZZ right. β
"Who knows? β
"Award, what do you think of "Lazaro"? That actor is really well chosen, he seems to have a good relationship with Ji Ming, isn't he? β
"Yes, they watched "Midsummer" together, and then didn't Ji Ming also watch "Lazaro"?" The reporter of the six princesses thought for a while: "If you really win the award, remember to visit Ji Ming when the time comes." β
A reporter laughed: "Can you visit? People hope to be disappointed, and they still want to be interviewed by you?"
"I don't think Ji Ming will have any gap, and he won't think that he has a good chance of winning the award, right? But to be honest, in my opinion, I think Ji Ming's performance is not a thing that should be given to the actor, but intellectually I don't think it's too likely. β
"It's not too big, it's really not. In the past few days, there are people who particularly like his performance, and after the editor of "Film Manual" posted the article, he also specially mentioned Ji Ming's performance when he was interviewed later, and he agreed very much. But judging from the rumors, there are really few people who think he wants to win the award, the one in "Kennel Horror" is the number one, I don't think it will be a big hit, it's quite clear, the one in "Cold War" has won, the possibility of a second actor is too low, and there are only two in the 71st class. Or, if "Burning" is a big hit, and you can't escape the curse of high ratings and no awards, maybe you will get back an actor for Bangguo, and Liu Yaren is also very young. β
"Oh, let's go in, the results are coming out right away, and the awards ceremony in Cannes is notoriously fast. β
It's about an hour with a head and a tail, and it's over.
Those who have a share of it have all gone inside, and those who have not entered have just watched the live broadcast of the official TV station outside, which is also homework - especially the opening red carpet, after Ji Ming was given special attention, Chinese reporters are now keeping an eye on it.
But most of the time, the people who appear on the stage are unknown - but the judge Zhang Zhen will definitely come out.
At this time, the Lumière Hall was full of friends.
Chinese filmmakers are all crowded together, and I don't know if it's a special arrangement.
Ji Ming is Wen Yan on the left, and a French filmmaker on the right, and he knows the French that the other party takes the initiative to say hello and speaks French. Ji Ming's poor French, just a few words will be dry, and the rest has to be spoken in English, and the other party's English is not particularly slippery, so until the awards ceremony officially began, the two only talked about a few simple conversations between Chinese films and French films - the other party said that he had watched the Sino-French co-production "Wolf Totem", and Ji Ming said that it was a very influential Chinese adaptation.
The awards ceremony in Cannes was very unfriendly, why?
It's all French.
The host Ji Ming didn't know him, as soon as he came up, he spoke French, and there were probably not many people who could understand it, and occasionally there was laughter and applause, all of which were led by a group of people, and others cooperated - obviously they didn't understand.
This was followed by the Short Film Award and the Golden Camera (Best Debut Film) award.
Then Cate Blanchett, the president of the jury, came to the stage, and then one by one the judges were introduced, and they came up from the backstage and sat on the side of the award ceremony - and then there will be an award presenter, a judge, and the awards will be announced at the same time.
It is indeed the usual style of Cannes.
Soon the awards will begin.
......
"Hey, Ji Ming. The reporters outside the venue suddenly screamed, and immediately a photojournalist began to press the shutter.
In the official live broadcast channel, I don't know if it is the same photographer as the red carpet of the opening ceremony, it hasn't been long since it started, when the host snapped, the camera was given to the filmmakers in the audience, and then it seemed that he had found Ji Ming, giving him a three-second close-up.
Ji Ming was unaware.
Wen Yan beside her seemed to see the camera turn over, looked at the camera, and then looked at Ji Ming, but when she wanted to say something to Ji Ming, the camera had already walked away and turned to Spike Lee, the director of "Black Gang Gangster".
"This photographer absolutely loves Ji Ming. β
"To be able to get this shot, you have to have at least a few pieces of news," one reporter began typing on his phone, and at first glance he knew that it was a one-eyed reporter.
Sure enough, after a while.
Weibo Movie was in the early morning at one o'clock in the morning, and posted a short Weibo with a tag.
#ζηΊ³η΅ε½±θ, the award ceremony officially began, and a close-up of Ji Ming appeared again in the official live broadcast. It seems that the photographer of French TV likes Ji Ming very much. β
"There are definitely PY deals. β
"This profile is so handsome, if I were a photographer, I would have to shoot him. β
"Ji Ming is now in France and Italy, and the heat is still very good. Many people who pay attention to the Cannes Film Festival are willing to see him. What to say about the most charming man, what youthful vitality and classic charm perfectly blended in him, highly rated. β
- "Is the young lady in Europe?"
- "Yes, go to school." β
ββ"Layer master, layer master, Ji Ming is really popular because of the red carpet? Is it so exaggerated? Isn't it his team's marketing? Foreigners really like him?"
- "First of all, foreigners are also normal people, and their aesthetics of handsome guys and beauties are the same, there is nothing strange about it, don't be presumptuous, let alone reverse racial discrimination and racial inferiority." Then, Ji Ming said that the fire was a bit too much, but it is true that among the groups that follow Cannes, a considerable number of people discuss him, or directly praise him, and the French praise others very straightforwardly, and the words are very sweet. In addition, I have classmates who study in Italy, which is a little more fascinated than France, and some people have collected materials from the domestic Internet and posted them on Italian Twitter. β
- "Is the landlord another star?"
- "There is very little discussion, it is rare to see, this time Ji Ming's is historic." I only said that I knew these times, in the past, I don't know about the era of Zhang Yanyu and Gong Li, but there was no Internet at that time, probably limited. β
Fans are satisfied, and many small fans who don't know how to watch the Internet can only get information that makes them proud by asking Chinese people abroad, as well as moving bloggers, and making big fans - being concerned by foreigners under cultural weakness is a rare thing, and scarcity is expensive.
......
Probably all Chinese, including domestic and Cannes, did not expect that the entire awards ceremony, the first film name to appear, would come from China.
"Yanbian Boy"!
Special mention in the short film!
Director Wei Shujun is very young, five or six people away from Ji Ming, standing up, very nervous, but still strong self-control, bowing and thanking - because the short film specifically mentions that there is no trophy, so there is no need to go on stage to accept the award.
What really won the Palme d'Or for the short film was an Australian short film, and it is difficult to say whether it has anything to do with the Australian citizenship of Cate Blanchett, the chairman of the jury.
Then the golden camera was awarded to "Girl", which won many awards at this year's Cannes Film Festival and was well received, which can be said to be worth the trip.
In fact, none of the above are the awards of the main competition in Cannes, and they are similar to "a kind of attention", but they are held together with the main competition.
When all the members of the jury are on stage, the real award ceremony begins.
And all the hearts were tightened.
What is the first award?Best Actress!!Actress!!
The Cannes Film Festival is very special, probably to show that every award is equally important, so it is different from many other award ceremonies, it only follows a rough order, that is, the Palme d'Or lasts, the Jury Prize second, and the rest is carried out.
The first one to be awarded last year was the best screenplay, and the first one to come out this year was actually the actress.
Zhao Tao should be very nervous, at this moment.
Ji Ming took a look at the crew of "Children of Jianghu" in the same row, Zhao Tao was smiling, shaking hands with the section chief, I couldn't see how nervous he was, but the breathing should be very thin and thin, and Ji Ming couldn't see the ups and downs of his body - holding it.
This torture was not too long, and the awarder said a few words about the topic of actresses, and the lottery was opened.
It's a big hit.
The star of "Little One", Samar from Kazakhstan - she didn't show any special excitement, just a little breathless, and kept taking deep breaths. Even when the applause rang out for the second time, she couldn't speak.
When she said the words of thanks, Ji Ming and Wen Yan glanced at each other, I believe that like many Chinese filmmakers on the scene, they were all thinking about one thing: Zhao Tao still couldn't get it.
Not an accident.
She was going to take it, and Samar lost the election, so it was called a little upset.
The second prize is the screenplay, which has opened a double yolk egg, including "Three Faces" and "Happy Lazaro" - ah, when the movie title of "Lazaro" was reported, Ji Ming sighed.
This means that the chances of winning the Palme d'Or are infinitely reduced.
Andriy did not go on stage, but it could be seen that the female director was a little low, although she was happy, but there was still some embarrassment and stiffness - the script can only be regarded as a comfort. It's a little better than not winning a prize, but it's not much better, it's just a threshold.
To be honest, Ji Ming originally thought that it might win a grand prize for the jury, if it wasn't for the Palme d'Or. Its tonality is very in line with the European film festival, maybe there are not too many European genes in this year's jury.
And then there's the director.
The director of "Cold War" won the award β not "Burning," nor "Black Gangsters."
"'Burning' may be going to win the Palme d'Or. Wen Yan whispered to Ji Ming: "If you don't give the Palme d'Or, it should most likely be the director." β
"The highest rating is the Palme d'Or, it doesn't seem to be too much. β
"This kind of thing can't talk about probability, every year a jury, all of them are judges with different preferences, where can we find the law. β
Quite right.
The first Palme d'Or in the country of baseball?
Tut.
After the director, he was the actor, and Ji Ming found himself very calm - it was really calm, the kind of calm that completely extinguished that little expectation when things came.
The actor is from "Kennel Horror", which is definitely a hit, and everyone has an expected expression.
After this award, 3 Cate Blanchett suddenly came on stage, speaking English, and then there was a French translation, so I could understand it - Cannes is not hesitant to praise and affirm innovative films, attempts and persistence that are of great significance to the development of films, we believe that this belongs to Cannes' vocation, and films are constantly developing, so we need to continue to have real warriors to blaze a trail.
Jean-Luc Godard and his Book of Images are such people and works.
The jury unanimously decided to award the film a special Palme d'Or!!
Aha.
Here it is again.
Cannes may be in order to reconcile the contradictions of the judges, and sometimes the pork is divided, and it is often found that the pork is not enough, so they like to play this set, or open double yolk eggs, previous directors, actresses, actors, jury awards, etc., have precedents of double yolk eggs. Especially in the year when the king of sunglasses was the chairman, 11 actors, 6 actresses, and 5 actresses came out in one go - all from the same film.
Either that, or special awards, such as a special award last year, was given to Australian, Oscar-winning actress Nicole Kidman.
So far this year, there has been a double yolk egg for the script, and there has also been a special award - also a pork jury.
However, a master filmmaker like Godard won the award, and there is nothing more to say, just take it, one more will not be greater, and one less will not lack anything.
Everyone still applauded, applause, to this 82-year-old French film master who is still innovating.
At this point, only the last three film awards remain β the Jury Prize, the Grand Jury Prize and the Palme d'Or for Best Picture.
LΓ©a Seydoux and a French filmmaker came on stage to win the Jury Prize, but in fact, it is estimated that the most nervous people are at this time. Most of them don't really think about the Jury Award, or the more exaggerated Palme d'Or, 19 shortlisted films, it is estimated that 10 of the biggest hopes are this Jury Award - because it is very standard, it is completely created for the judges to set themselves, it is not so heavy, it can also have one more award, and it can also make the judges feel a little more comfortable, why not.
The French presenter was again incomprehensible.
Ji Ming felt that the awards ceremony in Cannes was really not very friendly, and he was going to complain to the Frenchman on the side, but as soon as he turned his head, he heard an English name that was not so familiar, but definitely not unfamiliar - "Meet the Land of the Gods"!
Negligent head turn.
looked at Wen Yan, who also turned around.
Huge smile.
It turns out that with the appearance of the director, it can also be beautiful to this extent!!
Won the prize!!
Oh, my God!!
After Hou Xiaoxian won the best director in 2015, there are awards in the bag, even though it is only a jury award, it is enough to make Chinese filmmakers inside and outside the venue excited.
Director Wen Yan spoke in English.
"Please allow me to make a request to you at the very beginning, can you use applause to bring my male lead, who is also the soul of this movie, Ji Ming please come to the stage, because I just hoped that he could go on stage together, but he prefers to leave this moment to me - then now I have enjoyed it, please come up." β
Ji Ming laughed silently.
In the applause of the audience, especially when he stood up, the applause was much more enthusiastic - apparently, someone recognized this addictive Chinese man.
Standing on the podium in Cannes, it feels very different, looking at the filmmakers with different skin tones and characteristics in the audience, you will think, ah, this is indeed a film world that transcends all barriers, only movies will last forever, and only movies are important, here, at this moment.
"The process of filming and editing this film was a very difficult experience for me. I need to constantly destroy the integrity in order to bring out its unique beauty. A lot of material was abandoned by me, and a lot of existing ideas were constantly broken. But thankfully, it was born eventually. I want to thank a lot of people...... In particular, I want to mention the male lead actor next to me, Ji Ming, he is very good, very genius, this movie may have been born without me, but if it were not for him, it may no longer exist, I won't thank him for getting this award, haha" Wen Yan paused: "Because it also belongs to Ji Ming, this is his own award!" β
Ji Ming was motioned to say two words.
"Thanks, think you, Maisie!"
He added a round of thanks to Wen Yan's statement in Chinese, English and French, and then stepped back.
However, when I was photographed by the media all over the world with the crystal palm leaf trophy, I still poured out, ah, I really won the award, that kind of second joy. After filming, he got off the stage and sat down, and when he sat down, he found that hey, why did Cate Blanchett go up again, and the frequency of appearances today was too high.
"When the judges discussed the performances of the shortlisted actors this time, some of them received unanimous reviews, such as our best actor Marcelo. But there were also some of them that were well received by the judges, one of them," Kate paused and smiled, "and one of them was highly recommended by at least two of the judges, and several of the judges found his performance to be very meaningful, especially for us to understand the cultural and intellectual context in which he lived. In the same way, we were also moved by his acting prowess and acting ideas, so after deliberate but unanimous deliberation by the jury, we decided to award β yes, haha, the second ad hoc award of the day β the Special Jury Award.
Granted, "Immortal Descent", Ji Ming!"
At that moment, the world seemed to fall into the deepest silence, only the heartbeat from the beginning of life, poof, poof...... When this life opened its eyes, ah, it turned out that the world was so fascinating.
Daniel Qin said
Let me tell you, I am at the bottom of the starting point out of the context training class, my heart is too soft, and I am too good to do this kind of unhappy thing...... Good night
