Chapter 50 Award Presentation (Part 2)
29th, afternoon.
Shanghai, Minghui Company.
A group of people in the company are sitting in their chairs...
Uh, I'm not working, basically chatting and brushing Shen Ming's fan base.
That's right, if these people want to get first-hand information now, they have to go deep into the grassroots - the fans are really powerful!
They even made a complete prediction, and it is reasonable, it seems to be much more reasonable than the speculation of the outside media, before a bunch of people expressed optimism about "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood", the head of the analysis is Dao, what one of the leading actors, Dakota Fanning, is the sister of Elle Fanning, one of the judges of this year's Cannes, I believe that "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" will definitely be supported by Elle Fanning, and what else does I believe that with Quentin's connections in Hollywood, the president of the jury Gonzalez and one of the judges, Lancemos, may also support the film...
Then, "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" got out of the way and didn't attend the closing ceremony!
also Quentin's connections in Hollywood, people followed Harvey Weinstein all the way, and he had a hairy connection...
Fan predictions:
"Parasite" is very likely to win the Palme d'Or, on the one hand, it is the first place in this year's house magazine rating, the quality is good, on the other hand, it is also a compensation for last year's Korean film "Burning", and another point, last year's Bong Joon-ho's "Okja" was also shortlisted for the main competition unit, but Cannes refused to screen it, because the producer was Netflix...
Best director may go to the Darnay brothers, who previously won the Palme d'Or for "Rosetta the Beautiful" and "The Child", as well as Best Screenplay for "The Silence of Lorna" in 2008 and the Grand Jury Prize for "Bicycle Boy" in 2011.
This time, their work "Young Ahmed" tells the story of the male protagonist who embarked on the road of murdering his teacher because he accepted the interpretation of religious extremism, and the subject matter was a little too bold...
The Grand Jury Prize, either for "Joker" or "The Atlantic", which won the Best Feature Film Award at the London Film Festival, and will represent Colombia at the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film;
Best Actor, if "Joker" doesn't win other awards, Brother Ming is stable, but if "Joker" wins the Jury Prize, then the actor will definitely be awarded to "Pain and Glory", a work that focuses on LGBT, starring Antonio Banderas Spanish veteran actor...
You see, is their analysis much more convincing than that of the so-called media people?
Chen Xu held his cheek in one hand and clicked the mouse with the other, looking at the monotonous page constantly refreshing, he felt more and more loveless.
The assistant walked in, knocked on the door, and shouted, "Mr. Chen!"
"What's wrong?"
"The bill for The Great Escape has been verified. ”
"How much did it cost?"
"One thousand eight hundred fifty thirty thousand..."
“… Okay, I see, you go out first!"
"Yes. ”
Ping Pingwu put down the documents, and then left, Chen Xu looked through the bill report, while thinking about the total investment, the 18 million is actually the shooting cost plus the salary of the staff, and the actor's salary, including the director's salary, is not among them.
The total investment should be around 60 million, of which 25 million is used for post-production, director Guo Shubo's remuneration is 5 million, several leading actors Cheng Xiao, Zhao Jinmai, Guo Junchen took 10 million, and the others are friendly cameos...
is scheduled for December 6, and there are no particularly scary movies released in the same schedule for the time being;
On the Hollywood side, only one "Terminator: Dark Fate" may pose a threat to "The Great Escape", but that film should be released in November;
Chen Xu suddenly sighed, no one can understand the situation this year, from January to December in previous years, almost all the schedules and Chinese films have been arranged in advance, this year, everyone is hiding...
"Mr. Chen, come and see, the red carpet ceremony has begun!"
Someone outside suddenly shouted...
"Red carpet?"
"On the red carpet of the closing ceremony, Bai Jie understands French, and she studied there!"
"Okay, I'll be right here..."
……
Cannes, at seven o'clock in the evening, Shen Ming and the crew of "Joker" entered the venue together.
The stars of the closing ceremony will be much more streamlined, with only special guests and retained crews left.
On the red carpet, "Joker" is undoubtedly the most popular, because Todd Phillips, Robert De Niro, and Shen Ming are all big actors.
Todd Phillips is both the director and one of the leading actors of The Hangover.
Shen Ming had two invitations, so he took Cheng Xiao to enter...
Just after the red carpet, I met the crew of "Parasite", and Song Kanghao's big cake face looked very dazzling under the lights...
"Hello!"
"Hello..."
The two briefly looked at each other.
But in this instant, Shen Ming's originally restless heart suddenly lifted.
In fact, when he was seated, Shen Ming received many people's blessings in advance, and that look seemed to belong to you.
Damn, you're not the author, what if he gets nervous and doesn't give me an actor?
The more I think about it, the more anxious I become...
The hand was held, cool, with a bit of flesh, very comfortable, it was Cheng Xiao.
"What's wrong with you?"
Shen Ming smiled: "It's okay!"
Todd Phillips whispered: "Shen, Warner said that "Joker" may not be released in Chinese mainland..."
"Well, I know!" After thinking about it, Shen Ming still added: "I guess there should be video websites that want to be introduced." ”
"That's right, iQiyi, Fuji Xun, and You Ku are all negotiating with us, and their concern is censorship..."
"I'm sorry, I can't help with that..."
"You've helped a lot..."
After a brief chat, however, it did not start at the scheduled time, and it was said that the jury had just left from the hotel, so there was no choice but to postpone it.
While waiting, the atmosphere at the scene was too solemn, which made everyone's mood rise unconsciously.
"Did you get Alejandro?"
“… Hard. ”
Hard...
Does that mean I have a chance?
There was some throbbing in my heart that had just calmed down...
The ceremony was a bit loud and noisy, with people from all over the world communicating in different languages.
Shen Ming grabbed Cheng Xiao's hand.
Silent recitation in the heart: If the heart is clear, the sky will not fall, all changes will be stable, and the spirit will be calm;
Well, "Pure Heart Mantra"
In fact, it is difficult to describe the feeling when the work starring me has the opportunity to win the highest award in Cannes...
The people next to him were laughing, and I don't know if they were really not nervous or pretended.
After about fifteen minutes of waiting, the jury finally arrived and the award ceremony officially began.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we have finally had this wonderful night, and I am sure that you are in the same mood as I am, so much anticipation, because we can get a good night's sleep tomorrow... We are tired of the movie, and we are happy for the movie!"
The host Balabala talked about it, and Shen Ming didn't understand it much, anyway, it was translated, that's what it meant...
Then, a local French star took the stage and presented the first award: the Caméra d'Or.
The Caméra d'Or is awarded to the most outstanding debut film of the film that is contested at the festival each year, and is not limited to the competition section, and the award is César Diaz's "Our Mother".
The first few awards were considered warm-up types, and after the awards, the jury was once again unveiled.
