"The Redemption of Qincheng" set off a craze in Cannes, and the successive praise and praise from film critics, as well as the film media, and the audience, completely praised "The Redemption of Qincheng" to a very high status, and the film media and film critics have believed that "The Redemption of Qincheng" definitely has a hope of competing for the final Palme d'Or, and it is the biggest hit.

In this, Bai Yi's performance is also very exciting, and there is also hope to compete for the final Cannes actor.

It's just that no matter how high the call is, it's just a call, there is no shortage of wonderful films at the film festival, and as for the candidates for the best actor, it can be said that each actor's performance is very good, and the competition at this year's Cannes Film Festival can be said to be very fierce.

In terms of performance alone, Bai Yi's performance is undoubtedly excellent, delicate and real, just like many film critics commented on Bai Yi's performance as "shock under calm" , With a calm and silent attitude, with a yearning for freedom, on the surface, Qin Cheng has changed from hatred to composure towards that high wall like Qi Rui, but the desire for freedom still pushes him to move towards the hope and goal in his heart, especially the scene of the final successful escape from prison, tearing his clothes in the rain, and being baptized.

……

The crew of "The Redemption of Qincheng" naturally cares very much about the media and the audience's evaluation, looking at the fire of their own film at the Cannes Film Festival now, more and more audiences are pouring into the cinema and lining up in long queues, which naturally makes the main creators very excited.

But for the producers of this film, the producers are more excited about the profits made by the film.

In fact, really speaking, the filming cost of the movie "The Redemption of Qincheng" is not high, the investment cost of about 30 million, of course, it is naturally 60 million investment cost to the outside world. With an investment of about 30 million, this is nothing compared to the current big productions, but it is such that "The Redemption of Qincheng", which is not very costly, is being shortlisted for the main competition unit of the Cannes Film Festival.

Because it caused a craze at the Cannes Film Festival, many film distributors also watched this "The Redemption of Qincheng" and naturally knew the excitement of this movie.

In many cases, some filmmakers rely on film festivals to sell film copyrights, even if the domestic box office is bad, there is no need to worry about the return of the cost, in fact, the film has already been repaid long before the movie is released.

Just like the current "The Redemption of Qincheng", this movie has also paid off before it was released, and it has made a lot of money.

Of course, the recovery of funds for most domestic films now relies on box office sharing, that is, watching the box office of the film after its release, which can account for more than 80% of the total revenue of the film. Compared with overseas distribution, most domestic films pay attention to the box office, and only a small number of films that specialize in film festivals will pay special attention to overseas markets.

Like "The Redemption of Qincheng", a film that is very much in line with the tastes of foreign audiences, foreign film distributors will naturally not miss such a movie, which is why Zhang Qi and others dragged it out before, waiting until after the premiere of the film to talk about film copyrights. Just like Bai Yi, Zhang Qi and others attach great importance to the movie "The Redemption of Qincheng", and foreign distributors and film producers are also very optimistic about this movie.

In fact, at the beginning, Zhang Qi and others did not plan to buy the film copyright directly, because they wanted the overseas box office share of the movie.

But Bai Yi is a little worried that the movie "The Redemption of Qincheng" will follow the old path when it is released, especially in the United States. Therefore, for the high-priced ones, the copyrights were directly sold, and the others were guaranteed to be shared. In fact, relatively speaking, the United States generally buys out Chinese films directly, and there are few guaranteed accounts, unless they are really very confident in the movie will choose the form of guaranteed account sharing.

……

The movie has now paid off and has made a lot of money, and the next thing is naturally to win the award.

If you can win the award, it will undoubtedly be a joy, but in a place like the film festival, even if the call for "The Redemption of Qincheng" is high, and the list of winners given by the media predicts "The Redemption of Qincheng", no one dares to guarantee it, because the film festival itself is a personality that pays attention to personality, and the judges of the film festival have their own preferences and personal tastes.

In fact, the biggest surprise in the competition unit of this Cannes Film Festival should be Zhang Qi's "The Redemption of Qincheng", in the "Screen" magazine's field magazine score, the film got the highest score of 3.6 points in this competition, in a comprehensive score ranking of competition films according to seven field magazines and media such as the United States, France, Germany, Argentina, etc., "The Redemption of Qincheng" also topped the list, which can be said to be the film with the highest reputation in this competition unit.

This also means that many people actually like this Chinese-language movie "The Redemption of Qincheng" very much, which is very rare to some extent.

Unlike other films, this "The Redemption of Qincheng" is very in line with Western culture, as far as the film is concerned, there is no big cultural difference at all from this movie, the theme of the movie is about hope, freedom, and redemption.

Obviously, after culture reaches a deep level, it is all about the existence and life of people, and it becomes culture after a long period of accumulation, and as long as it is about people, the whole world can understand it.

……

Cannes adopts an elite jury system, that is, a special jury composed of a group of well-known and "professional" filmmakers hired by the festival officials to watch all the films in the selection unit in less than two weeks of the festival, and the chairman presides over the discussion, and finally decides the attribution of each award independently.

This relatively elitist, closed selection rule is the mainstream choice of the vast majority of film festivals in the world, and although it avoids the aesthetic and cultural compromises of the American Dream with so-called "fair" and "democratic" votes like the Academy Awards do year after year, it is also often relegated to the arbitrary choice of the judges' private tastes.

Now it depends on whether the movie "The Redemption of Qincheng" can match the private taste of the judges.

The answer will only be revealed at the final awards ceremony.

Although it is uncertain whether the film can win the award, it is known before the award ceremony begins, because if there is a prize, the organizer will notify in advance, so that the crew will also go to the final award ceremony.

Now "The Redemption of Qincheng" has been invited to attend the final award ceremony.

This also means that "The Redemption of Qincheng" has a prize, but I don't know what the award is.

Zhang Qi expects this, and Bai Yi also looks forward to it, you must know that Bai Yi's call for winning the actor is also very high, but his age is still too young, compared with several other actor candidates, this is also Bai Yi's biggest weakness.

Of course, really speaking, the Cannes Film Festival has always been very groundbreaking, the youngest Cannes actor has been there before, and now the record is 14-year-old actor, which can be said to be even more powerful and lucky than Bai Yi at the beginning.

However, it is clear that the fourteen-year-old Bai Yi is not bad, and was shortlisted for the Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor with "The Sixth Sense".

Now at the age of twenty-seven, he is very promising to win the Cannes Best Actor, and Bai Yi is naturally looking forward to it. Bai Yi has participated in several film award ceremonies, even the International Emmy Award, but it is clear that this time, this feeling of anticipation is stronger than ever.

……

On May 22, the awards ceremony of the 77th Cannes Film Festival was still held in the Lumière Room of the Palais du Cinéma, and at 8 p.m., the award ceremony began. There is no show performance, so it can be said that it quickly gets straight to the point.

The first award was the Palme d'Or for short films, followed by the Caméra d'Or for best debut, both of which had nothing to do with "The Redemption of Qincheng".

After the Golden Photography Award for Best Debut Film, it means that the award ceremony will enter the climax, because the next major awards in the main competition unit will begin.

Zhang Qi looked at the judges sitting on the stage, couldn't help but glance at Bai Yi, smiled and asked in a low voice, "How is it? Are you nervous? I always remember the award ceremony of the Venice Film Festival." ”

"To be honest, I'm much more nervous than I was in Venice, after all, this time I have hope of winning the best actor. “

Although Bai Yi's performance in "The Sixth Sense" was very exciting, it was called the greatest performance at the Venice Film Festival, and the performance was enough to win the Venice actor, but at that time, Bai Yi's Cole was a supporting actor, so naturally he couldn't have contact with the actor, but this time it was different.

Zhang Qi said with a smile: "I expect you to win the best actor, but after all, winning the award depends on luck, Bai Yi, you are still very young, in my opinion, you will definitely be able to win the award." “

Even if you can't win the award this time, there will always be a chance in the future, this is Zhang Qi's idea.

Bai Yi knew the meaning of Zhang Qi's words, and couldn't help but smile and nodded.

This year's Cannes Film Festival is very competitive, even if a few of the films shortlisted for the main competition unit are booed by the audience, but there are still a few films that can compete for the final Palme d'Or, such as the French film "Rosa", as well as the Iranian film "Story", and the British film "Blake", which has a strong opponent of "The Redemption of Qincheng".

The first award in the main competition unit is the Jury Prize, although this award is not as good as the Palme d'Or, and it is not as high as the Grand Jury Prize, but after all, it is an important award at the Cannes Film Festival, and it is naturally very expected.

"The Redemption of Qincheng" did not win the Jury Award, Zhang Qi and others will naturally not be disappointed, it is a good thing not to win the award now, which means that there are still awards to be won later.

After the Jury Award, there is the Best Screenplay Award, in fact, many critics think that "The Redemption of Qincheng" can win this award, but Zhang Qi and Bai Yi don't want to win the Best Screenplay Award now, even if Bai Yi is the screenwriter of "The Redemption of Qincheng", he doesn't want to win the Best Screenplay Award now.

Because now that he has won the Best Screenplay Award, this is undoubtedly far from the Palme d'Or.

In the end, the Best Screenplay Award was awarded to the French film "Rosa", and "Rosa" won the Best Screenplay Award is not unpopular, which has received a lot of praise for the movie "Rosa" before.

After the Best Screenplay Award, the next award is the Best Actress Award, which naturally has little to do with "The Redemption of Qincheng", but the latter Best Actor Award has a lot to do with "The Redemption of Qincheng".

Unlike the Oscars, where the actor award is a high recognition of an actor's acting skills, Cannes is actually a world of film authors, and the actor award is often a consolation prize used to balance the distribution of awards. Of course, this is not that there is no acting skills in the actor award, it should be said that the films that can be shortlisted for the main competition unit, the actors' acting skills themselves will not be bad. It is precisely for this reason that many times at the Cannes Film Festival, no one can guarantee who the best actor and best actress is, because as long as they are shortlisted for the main competition unit, all actors and actresses are eligible to compete, regardless of the leading role and supporting role.

Of course, it is the protagonist who is more dominant.

This year's competition for actresses in Cannes is extremely fierce, and the first is of course Sandra Wheeler, who plays her daughter in "Story", but since "Story" may win a relatively large award, it is likely that the jury will not repeat the actor award.

In the end, it was not "Story" that won the Best Actress award, but the quality of "Black" heroine Sonia Bra, and it is clear that the award is also convincing, although it may be a pity for Sandra Wheeler.

Now Bai Yi doesn't want to have such regrets for himself.

The competition for Best Actor is also very fierce, and the call for Bai Yi to win the award in "The Redemption of Qincheng" is very high, but the performances of the actors in several other movies are also very real and delicate, and the momentum is very high, including Feng Jin, an old actor.

"The Redemption of Qincheng" can be called a double male lead, Feng Jin plays a lot of Qi Rui roles, and it can be said that he can be regarded as the male protagonist in "The Redemption of Qincheng", but it is obvious that Bai Yi has more advantages, because the story itself is about the story of Qincheng.

Compared with Bai Yi's expectations, Feng Jin, an old actor, should be more calm, and he may also win the actor, looked at Bai Yi sitting next to him, smiled, and asked: "If I win the best actor, Bai Yi, what will happen to you?"

"What will happen to me?"

Hearing Feng Jin's words, Bai Yi raised his eyebrows, glanced at Feng Jin, and said lightly: "Of course, I congratulated you with a smile, but it was just on the surface." Don't expect me to congratulate you from the bottom of my heart. “

In fact, the reason why Bai Yi is nervous is that in addition to competing with the leading actors of other movies, he also has to compete with Feng Jin. Just like in "The Shawshank Redemption", the movie was nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor and the Oscar for Best Actor, and it was the role of Qi Rui, not the role of Qin Cheng that he played.

Because of this, even Bai Yi didn't know how to evaluate it, because in his heart, Qin Cheng was the hero of the movie, because this was Qin Cheng's story, and Qi Rui was just telling this story.

Of course, different people will have different opinions, just like the film starts with Qi Rui being interviewed by a parole officer and being denied parole, and then ends with Qi Rui passing the parole officer interview. It seems that the whole film is about the process of Qi Rui's redemption, so Qi Rui can be said to be the first male protagonist of the film, and Qin Cheng is a supporting role in helping Qi Rui get redemption.

Zhang Qi listened to the conversation between Feng Jin and Bai Yi, and couldn't help laughing, in her heart she felt that Bai Yi had a better chance of winning the award, because Bai Yi's performance was very delicate and real, and the completion was very good, and Qin Cheng was the hero of this story.

I believe this, the judges should also be able to see it, especially Bai Yi's eye performance, as well as the smile on his face, although there is not much dialogue, but the calm and introverted performance method should be more in line with the taste of the film festival judges.

Soon, the guest of honor for Best Actor walked on the stage.

Bai Yi and Feng Jin glanced at each other, both of them couldn't help but be a little nervous at the moment, and then couldn't help but smile.

Even Feng Jin would be nervous at this time, this is human nature.

The guest who presented the Best Actor award was an actress Joey, and it was clear that she also knew that this was the time when the actors in the audience were most concerned, because the whole ceremony had been quiet, and everyone was looking at her, waiting for her to announce the final results.

Joey didn't intend to say anything more, just said a few words, and then opened the envelope, ready to present the award for Best Actor, and read in English: "At the 77th Cannes Film Festival, the winner of Best Actor is-"

The actors who hope to win the award are very nervous, Bai Yi is also very nervous, and he is also very looking forward to it, it can be said that this moment is like a freeze! )
