Compared with the star-studded opening ceremony, the atmosphere of the closing ceremony was a little colder. Mainly because most of the actors who participated in the closing ceremony were related to the competition works, and there were many fewer people who rubbed the red carpet.

Still, it's not bad. Compared to the stars, the film is the biggest protagonist in Cannes.

"Director Mu, your work "Room" is a popular choice for this year's film festival, how sure are you that it will win the award?"

In the interview area of the red carpet, Mu Ming was faced with domestic and foreign reporters on the third floor and the outer three floors. Contrary to the situation of the film festival, Mu Ming and the others were three of them when they first came, and they were not well-known, and they were also deserted at the opening ceremony.

However, it was only a dozen days before and after, and by the time it was time for the red carpet of the closing ceremony, they were already one of the most popular nominees.

"I didn't think much about it. I think that movies are for the audience, and the most important thing is that the audience is satisfied. During the period when "Room" was screened in Cannes, it received a lot of praise, and I think this is the best reward for me. ”

Mu Ming looked at the media reporters and said calmly, it seems that this is indeed what she thinks. Inexperienced reporters only think that Mu Ming is saying beautiful things, but some experienced old reporters react that Mu Ming should have given up the competition for the Palme d'Or.

"Room" was nominated for a total of two awards, the final Grand Prize Palme d'Or, and Best Actress, commonly known as the "Queen of Cannes". Since Mu Ming gave up the Palme d'Or, she must be competing for the "Queen".

Many people are secretly cheering up in their hearts, so far there is only one Palme d'Or and only one actress in Chinese movies. Therefore, no matter which one Mu Ming can get tonight, it is big news.

Some astute minds have begun to conceive news articles in their minds so that they can send out the news as soon as the time comes.

"Mu Ming, can Sister Qian win the award tonight?"

Leaving the media interview area, Xiao Zhao asked Mu Ming quietly. Mu Ming originally told her to stay in Paris and wait for herself to pick her up. As a result, the young lady didn't tell him, so she asked the assistant to buy a ticket and fly back to Cannes.

"I'll come back and pass on my luck to you, and maybe you'll be able to win the prize. ”

When Mu Ming complained that she came back without saying a word, Xiao Zhao said with a smile.

"It's hard to say. Mu Ming looked at Wan Qian, who was still being interviewed, shook her head gently, and replied in the same low voice.

Despite the best efforts and various PR activities have been carried out on the Touchstone side, it is really difficult to say the final result. After all, there are only nine judges, and a decision by anyone can change the final result.

"That's it......" Xiao Zhao tilted his head and sighed dissatisfied. Then he quietly held Mu Ming's hand and comforted him: "It's okay, I believe I can definitely get it." ”

"Hah!" Mu Ming chuckled lightly and sighed: "I hope it can be as you say." ”

Without the "stars" who squirmed on the red carpet, the red carpet part of the closing ceremony was much less time. Candidates, guests, spectators, and journalists walked into the Lumière Hall of the Palais du Cinémath.

This is where tonight's closing ceremony takes place.

At the same time, thousands of miles away in the country.

Because the performance of Chinese films in Cannes this year is good, the relevant departments also attach great importance to it, and specially approve the live broadcast request of Fuji Xun Video.

Although it was late at night due to the time difference, many people still turned on their computers and watched the live broadcast of the closing ceremony of the Cannes Film Festival.

For these audiences, looking at those big-name stars is secondary, mainly to know if there are any Chinese films that can win awards for the first time. So taking advantage of the garbage time before the official start of the awards ceremony, the comments in the comments began to grow rapidly.

"Three films were shortlisted, so you can win an award. ”

"Then who can say for sure, there are a total of nineteen candidate films, and there are less than ten awards. Even if you don't choose any of them, there's not much to say. ”

"No, Hou Xiaoxian's "Assassin Nie Yinniang" is the highest-rated film in Cannes this year. If he doesn't win the prize, Cannes will be too dark. ”

"Haha, what's so dark about this. You go and see which one of the previous editions won the award was the one with the highest rating. Compared with "Assassin", I am more optimistic about Mu Ming's "Room". Even if you can't win the grand prize, it's not bad to get a movie queen. ”

"Don't be funny, with my Empress Kate, who else in your country is worthy of being the queen. ”

"If you don't want to stay, get out, for fear that foreign countries won't buy spicy chicken." ”

“……”

Where there are people, there are quarrels, and where there is the Internet, there are trolls. The ancients did not deceive me.

On this side, nine judges of the jury have already taken the stage to thank them. Perhaps in order to reflect the seriousness of the award selection, the jury was cold throughout the whole process.

In fact, there is no need for them to show coldness at all, and the scene is now full of tension.

There is no way, the choice of awards at Cannes is too much influenced by the personal factors of the judges. Even if all kinds of public relations are in place, coupled with some government pressure secretly, it is difficult to ensure that the judges will not suddenly have a brain pump.

Various domestic awards like to imitate the Oscars, and between each award, the host should be emotionally moved and a few jokes that are not funny at all. In contrast, the process in Cannes is much simpler, with the host announcing the name of the award and then announcing the winner.

Of course, Cannes is not a complete maverick, and the awards are still presented in order from the smallest to the largest. For example, the first award is the "Caméra d'Or Award", which is similar to the "New Director Award".

The award went to the director of "Earth and Shadow", who is Mexican. Mu Ming hadn't seen this movie or paid attention to it, so he didn't know much about it. However, it is estimated that the quality should not be very good, because it was not even shortlisted for the main competition unit.

After that, there are also awards for Best Short Film, Best Screenplay, and several awards in the Un Certain Regard section. These have nothing to do with Mu Ming, so he didn't pay much attention to it, so he just felt that the kung fu of walking was over.

Finally, after a string of small prizes were announced, the hall that had been bustling before fell silent. The highlight of the night is finally here, and now there are only four final awards left - Actress, Best Actor, Best Director and Palme d'Or!

And the first one to be presented is the award for Best Actress.

"Success or failure, here. Mu Ming took a deep breath, and then sighed.

"You seem to be more nervous than I am. Wan Qian heard Mu Ming's movement beside her, turned her head and smiled. However, some dry voices revealed that she was in the same nervous state now.

"Of course I'm nervous, half a month of hard work, I'll see it for a while. ”

Xiao Zhao poked his head out from the other side of Mu Ming, clenched his little fist and said to Wan Qian: "Come on, Sister Qian, you will definitely win the award." ”

"Thank you, then I'll borrow your auspicious words. If you really win the prize, I will invite you to dinner when you return to China. Wan Qian thanked heartily.

"Okay, what to eat?" Xiao Zhao's eyes flashed and he said excitedly.

"Uh, whatever you like......"

"You two are enough!" Mu Ming stretched out her hands and pulled the two young ladies who were chatting happily from her back to their positions and sat up straight.

On stage, the host has already begun to announce the winners of the Best Actress!
