As we all know, every year the Festival de Cannes has a different jury that makes up small groups of nine.

They may be directors, screenwriters, actors, or even writers.

In Cannes in 1960, the famous Federico Fellini won the Palme d'Or for "La Dolce Vita", which was strongly supported by the chairman of the jury, the writer Georges Simon.

After watching "La Dolce Vita", he pulled the festival's director-general, Robert, aside and said: "For me, the only one who can win the Palme d'Or is 'La Dolce Vita'." I saw the greatest revolution taking place in the world of cinema, and if the jury didn't follow me, I would go back to Switzerland immediately!"

Robert panicked when he heard this, so he had to try to convince the judges to award the Palme d'Or to Fellini...

Let's put it this way, if you want to win an award in Cannes, in addition to the quality of the film as the foundation, the most important thing is whether there are judges who like your film, and the judges who like your film must be strong enough, preferably good English and noisy.

Abbas strongly supported "Dream Life", but other judges didn't like it, some people said that the film "Dream Life" couldn't see the face clearly, what the hell, Abbas sprayed wildly, and then "Dream Life" won the jury prize;

In 2001, everyone couldn't watch "Mulholland Drive", Yang Dechang was anxious, you are too ignorant, you can't watch such a good movie?

Yang Dechang has a hard temper and good English, and in the end, "Mulholland Drive" tied for best director with "The Absent Man".

As for the rule of 'if you win the Palme d'Or, you are not allowed to win the best director'...

It's total!

The Coen Brothers' "Barton Fink" that year won the Best Actor, Best Director and the Palme d'Or!

The reason is because the chairman of the jury, Roman Polanski, loves this film to death, and even thinks that this film is a tribute to himself...

If it weren't for the weak role of the actress in "Barton Fink", it is estimated that even the best actress would be awarded to it...

Including "Elephant" and "Dogtown" in 03, "Elephant" won the best director, many media have published "Dogtown" to win the Palme d'Or, and then the Palme d'Or revealed "Elephant"...

It's like a joke!

……

Immediately afterwards, the award for the best screenplay was awarded, and the guest was very neat, and directly announced the name: ""Heaven is destined", Jia Zhangke!"

The media in the audience was silent for a moment...

Foreign media are not very optimistic about "Destined", and most of them say that excessive violence weakens the expressiveness of the film.

Or, 'the complex develops unbalanced and too fast, the clues are somewhat heavy, and the story does not express sincere emotions in depth enough.' ’

Of course, the Guardian (Cannes Gazette) liked it, calling it "Destined": a bitter and pessimistic tragedy about China...

A few people on Lu Xiaoran's side gave a standing ovation - no matter how you say it, it is also a victory for Chinese movies!

Lao Jia's acceptance speech: "It's really a blessing to be able to stand here. ”

"It's an honor to win this award, thank you for the support of the studio, and thank you to every creative staff of this film, China's development has changed a lot in recent years, and I feel more free for filmmaking. ”

As soon as I heard it, I memorized it in advance...

At this point, the ceremony is halfway done, and the rest is all the main event.

The actor who was awarded first.

Lu Xiaoran didn't have any ideas at all, and the actor of "The Dark Side" didn't have much room to play at all...

However, if you are shortlisted, you will always be able to win the award, what if the judges are blind?

And "Nebraska" was not very popular during the screening, and even many critics did not buy the new work of director Alexander Payne, and the call for the actor Bruce Dunn to be crowned emperor was not high.

Bruce Dunn himself didn't even attend the closing ceremony...

The results were announced, Bruce Dunn.

Director Alexander Payne took the stage to take the lead: "... Thank you to the judges for awarding the award to Bruce Dern..."

There's no suspense, not even a double yolk egg...

Lu Xiaoran turned her head and whispered to Tangtang: "This means that there is a chance to win the Palme d'Or..."

“… Really?"

"I don't know. ”

"Then you still say, I bit you!"

"Here?"

“… Get out!"

After talking for a while, Lu Xiaoran's heart calmed down with a little excitement just now...

He really felt that his heart was about to stop just now, in case the big golden retriever brain was miserable, and the blind Ji Ba wrote, I would take the actor...

Underestimating the Big Golden Retriever!

It's still a bit of a festive one.

"Best Actress Award at this Cannes Film Festival..."Nicole Kidman on the stage seemed to be deliberately hanging her appetite, and paused before opening the envelope: "Feng Shui, Yan Bingyan..."

The foreign translation of "Ten Thousand Arrows Through the Heart" is called 'Feng Shui'...

Taken from a line in the movie: Li Baoli bought a house with an elevator next to the Yangtze River. Her father said that this is a pattern of ten thousand arrows piercing the heart, which is a taboo in feng shui!

Yan Bingyan cried with joy.

A standing ovation from a crowd...

"I'm so excited! Every time I accept the award, my speech is not exciting enough! Thank you Xie Fei and Director Wang Jing! I am just a little luckier than other outstanding actresses to win the award..."

During the 90-second testimonial time, Yan Bingyan was obviously not fully prepared, and her words were incoherent...

However, it doesn't matter, she is the second Cannes actress after Zhang Manyu!

"We all know that the director is the inner soul of a movie, and the director's ability and aesthetics determine the quality of a film..."

The person in charge of presenting the Best Director Award was Christian Mongi, who finished speaking, opened the envelope, and smiled: "The Hidden Face, Lu Xiaoran!"

Tangtang hugged Director Lu directly, and Liu Yifei and Liu Shishi next to him also rubbed a shot...

……

"The Dark Side", Sugar Candy is the producer.

She is very concerned about this trip to the awards, and has been collecting comments from the media since the day of the premiere.

The reputation is not bad, but it is not very good, at least it is much worse than "Venus in Fur", "Adele's Life", and "Beautiful City"...

In particular, "The Life of Adele" sparked a huge discussion.

"The Life of Adele" received a score of 3.6 in the Cannes house magazine, which is almost the highest rating in the house magazine's existence.

Although the house magazine, which only represents the opinion of the media, does not influence the final decision of the jury, Adele's reputation in the critical world is beyond doubt.

Generally speaking, the probability of this kind of collectively praised film winning the award is very small, but the chairman of the jury this year is Spielberg, and the most important thing for the old guy is the media evaluation...

The person in charge of MK2 told her directly, 'Don't think about the Palme d'Or, we can compete for the Best Director award'...

In fact, the Best Director Award at Cannes is also a consolation attribute.

Recognizablely, the Palme d'Or and the Grand Jury Prize at Cannes are considered the two most important prizes...

The Director's Award is a medium weight, but it's also a little more awesome than the Screenwriting Award and the Special Jury Award...

At least now Lu Xiaoran has an extra resume - Best Director at the Cannes Film Festival!
