Chapter 189: Wang Zifan's Palme d'Or
β¦β¦
Everyone returned from Γle Sainte-Margaret, and the executives of DreamWorks soon experienced the taste of failure, although "Best Partner" was shortlisted for three awards, but the Best Foreign Language Film Award was lost less than a day, and another nomination was also lost.
What! Shortlisted but not awarded?
Why?
The organizing committee is more optimistic about "Iron Man"!
"Best Partner" is just reading with the prince!
β¦β¦
Hearing the news released by the organizing committee, Wang Zifan was stunned, and before the final finals began, "Best Partner" was eliminated!
The reporters are all invited, and you told me that you were doomed!
This gang of organizing committee uncles, if you don't give face, forget it, and you don't bring such a thing when you play people!
Others seem to have been mentally prepared, or they did not dare to expect the Palme d'Or from the beginning, this award is not judged by the box office, compared with the commercial judges pay more attention to art, especially those art films made by suffering many difficulties, the more they reflect the domestic contradictions, the easier it is to win awards, "Iron Man" is such a film.

Wang Zifan asked, "What is the origin of that movie?"
Shi Nansheng said: ""Iron Man"?"
Wang Zifan nodded, he only knew Wang Jinxi, and he didn't believe it if he wanted to say that foreigners filmed Chinese oil workers.
Shi Nansheng thought for a while and said: "This is a Polish film, directed by Andrzej Wajda, who is very famous in the international film industry, has won several awards, and the films he makes are very in-depth and reflect the ...... of human life."
"Wait!"
"What's wrong?" Zhang Aijia was listening attentively, and this was the kind of realm she was pursuing.
"Let's talk about the point!" Wang Zifan is embarrassed, his biggest headache is the depth of the expression of art films, a film from beginning to end is not shocked, I don't know what to express, in the eyes of art directors like Zhang Aijia, he is full of copper smell!
Shi Nansheng said with a smile: "The movie "Iron Man" is about the internal contradictions in Poland, and a reporter reflects the real life of Polish workers through undercover trade unions!"
Wang Zifan understood this, and muttered: "This is a film that is not allowed in Poland?"
Shi Nansheng said: "Yes, I heard that director Andrzej Wajda has gone to France!"
Zhang Aijia said angrily: "It's really unusual, the Polish government doesn't reflect on itself, what's wrong with the director!"
Wang Zifan thought that this director and the domestic Zhang Mouzi and those people have a problem, in order to win international awards, desperately shoot domestic dark and backward themes, some directors like to shoot the story of China's backward mountain villages, and then get the international appearance, they won the honor, but let the backward pictures in the movie be deeply imprinted in the hearts of foreigners, so that in the 21st century, some people think that Chinese can't afford to eat nests.
Such a director should really teach a lesson!
Wang Zifan was indignant, how could the ugliness of the family be publicized, if there was no "Iron Man", would "Best Partner" be able to win the award!
"Where's this director?"
"Mr. Wang?" Shi Nansheng looked embarrassed, she admired Andrzej Wajda.
"It's nothing, such a deep director, I really want to get to know him!" Wang Zifan showed reverence in a serious manner.
"Yes, I also want to visit and ask for advice on the artistic expression of film!" Zhang Aijia nodded like a chicken pecking rice.
Shi Nansheng breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Because of the obstruction of the Polish government, he was arranged by the organizing committee to be in a suite of the Residya Senior Hotel in Cannes and was taken care of by the local police. β
Wang Zifan nodded secretly, and asked again: "What is the remaining shortlisted film?"
Shi Nansheng said with a smile: "It is a film that reflects the war, and like us, it is a foil to "Iron Man"!"
Zeng Zhiwei complained: "There is really something wrong with this organizing committee, the more the pressure is played, the more I like to come out, the Polish government does not want the film to win the award, he wants to award the award to "Iron Man"!"
Huang Baiming sneered: "The more this happens, the more it can reflect that the organizing committee is not afraid of power, and the artist is fake Qinggao!"
"Ahem!" Zhang Aijia frowned in displeasure, very dissatisfied with Huang Baiming's opinion.
Wang Zifan waved his hand and announced the disbandment, he just didn't want the snipe and the clam to compete for the fisherman's profit, he tried his best to get "Iron Man" down, and then let other films take the position, how depressing, it's just that this is a war-themed movie, compared to "Best Partner", the organizing committee definitely doesn't want a war film to win awards, the original intention of the Cannes Film Festival was to oppose fascism, and it is a joke to let this kind of film win awards, this is also the good intentions of some people, and draw out two "three views are not correct" films to accompany the selection, "Iron Man" was elected as a matter of course!
The wishful thinking is good, but you shouldn't choose "Best Partner" as a companion!
Back in the room, Wang Zifan picked up the microphone, didn't worry about going to the door and looked at it a few times, he felt sneaky, smiled, and made a call, if it was before, he might have found it difficult to do, if he wanted the film to win the award, he had to ask the jury, bribe so many people, not to mention the risk of spending money, once this kind of thing is exposed, it will definitely be a scandal for DreamWorks, the wise man does not take it, now, just make a phone call.
"Hey!"
"This is the Kowloon Money Lending Company, borrow money or pay off debts?"
"What?"
Wang Zifan wondered if he was planning to do so, and when did the club number become a loan shark! Just as he wanted to ask what was going on, the voice of a chair falling to the ground came from the microphone, as if someone had changed to answer the phone.
"Brother Fan?"
"It's me!"
"I'm sorry Brother Fan, the younger brother below is not sensible, are you looking for me?"
"Hmm!"
Hearing that it was the voice of the old chicken, Wang Zifan was too lazy to care, and asked in a low voice: "Send a few brothers to France, you must be strict-mouthed!"
Lao Ji smiled: "That's a coincidence, Xiaobai is in Europe! This kid is cutting people and running away, but I heard that he went to the Netherlands, you wait a minute, I'll call him immediately!"
Wang Zifan reminded: "You don't need to let him come to see me, there is a high-end hotel in Cannes, there is a director named Andrzej Wajda, he is Polish, he has no money to go home, we are uneven on the road and draw a knife to help, so send him home, what? Residence? Damn, how do I know this, just send it to the police station!"
β¦β¦
Two days later, the final of the Palme d'Or, the hottest Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival, officially began, and well-known filmmakers from all over the world gathered to wait for the final answer, but an undercurrent underneath quickly spread.
"Did you hear that, the Palme d'Or hot candidate "Iron Man" announced that it was abstaining;!"
"Really, the chairman of the jury yesterday praised this as a progressive film, how could he abstain?"
"Look at today's newspapers, the organizing committee of the film festival openly opposes political invasion!"
"Did the Polish government interfere?"
"Damn politics!"
"yes, it's so regrettable, what a movie!"
Before the start of the finals, hearing the discussions of the people around him, the prince made a bitter and hateful comment, which immediately aroused the same feelings of the people around him, and condemned the Polish government in unison for not being authentic, is it easy for director Andrzej Wajda to make a movie, he was determined to win the award, and sent the secret police to tie people back, and held a press conference at the police station to announce his withdrawal from the selection!
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Cannes Film Festival! Here I announce a very regrettable news...... "The chairman of the jury is a fat middle-aged man, who was amiable just now, but now he has become angry and hideous, loudly denouncing the Polish government, as if he has become a freedom fighter against the government, and the prince under him is sweating profusely, and if everyone knows that he is the ghost, it is estimated that they will rush over and beat him!
After a period of condemnation, Wang Zifan was like sitting on pins and needles, and finally got through to the award ceremony, because the withdrawal of "Iron Man" was too hasty, and the organizing committee didn't even have time to find a replacement, so he could only pull out the general in the remaining two films.
"The winner of this year's Best Picture is...... Best Buddy from Hong Kong!"
Bang Bang Bang ......
Bang Bang Bang ......
Hearing the result, the participants spontaneously applauded, although they also felt that this film was shit lucky, obviously to accompany the prince to study, but the more this kind of oolong incident!
Ah!
What a surprise!
The expression on Wang Zifan's face changed, from stunned, to incredulous, and finally to surprise, wondering if he was acting too exaggerated!
It's too much of a test of acting skills!
Walking to the stage, Wang Zifan really couldn't pretend anymore, he had been brewing for so long, and he didn't shed a few tears, but smiled from ear to ear.
"Thank you!"
"Thank you!"
Wang Zifan finally burst into tears, but it seemed to be laughing, but the people below didn't think so, they all thought that the winner was moved by the award, and the applause was more intense, covering up the acceptance speech that the prospective prince Fan had prepared all night, so angry that he blushed and had a thick neck, thinking that it was easy for Lao Tzu to write these in the bed, but it didn't come in handy!
After receiving the Palme d'Or trophy, Wang Zifan happily kissed it a few times, and took the opportunity to take a bite, pure gold! He didn't know that since he took over this trophy, his status in the entertainment industry was different, especially for those Chinese film directors and actors, he couldn't wait to bow down.
"Thank you!"
"Thank you, judges, and thank you French people for your support!"
Holding the pure gold trophy, Wang Zifan returned to work, thinking about where to put this trophy, the company is absolutely not good, so many people see, what to do if it is stolen, the mansion study is good, but the study is not often visited, and finally Wang Zifan feels that the living room is better, you can see it every day, and there are guests who can also improve their taste.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
"Show me!"
"Let's let!
"What do you watch as a reporter?"
"I'll take a picture!"
"You all go away, I'm the director, okay!" After the crazy snatch, Zeng Zhiwei finally held the trophy in his arms, as if he had found his own son, crying and laughing.
"It's incredible!" Seeing everyone rushing for the Palme d'Or, Zhang Aijia muttered to herself, "Best Partner" is a commercial blockbuster in her opinion, this kind of film won the Palme d'Or, the highest award in Cannes, it is incredible, and then I think about it, such a movie can win awards, so can her story of taking the wrong car also come to Cannes to see the selection!
