Not far from Cannes, there is a sea-view estate called Dommelg, which is the place where the judges of the main competition are locked up on the closing day of the last day of the Cannes Film Festival to discuss the attribution of the prizes. The judges start their deliberations at 9 a.m. and must discuss the results by noon so that there is enough time to summon the winners back from other countries.

At this time, in the Zhuang meeting room, the nine judges of the main competition unit are gathering together to discuss the ownership of the award.

The Cannes Film Festival has similar rules to Venice and Berlin, with two main rules: the first is that the best seven films are selected and then the awards are assigned, and the second is that the awards are discussed separately and voted on immediately after the discussion, and then the second award is discussed. It is up to the President of the Jury to decide which rule to adopt.

As soon as the meeting began, Jane Campion announced that the awards would be discussed, and then everyone would vote. The first thing to discuss is the ownership of the Palme d'Or, which is the festival's top priority.

The first to speak was Sofia Coppola, as a fan of Zhang Ran's brain, she must have sung praises to Zhang Ran: ""Sun Scorching" is the only film that has shocked me since the opening of the festival. The more I watch, the more I feel ingenious, the more I watch, the more I feel that the meaning is long, and the more I watch, the more I can appreciate the fun of the movie. I completely entered the world of cinema constructed by Zhang Ran. I don't think it's reasonable not to give the Palme d'Or to Sunburn. I support giving the Palme d'Or to Sunburn!"

Jia Zhangke has a very good relationship with Zhang Ran, and he must stand up for himself at this time: "The spirit that the Cannes Film Festival has always adhered to is to encourage the birth of a new film language and to commend reflection and observation of the current social situation. Everyone has watched "Scorching Sun", and there are many novelties in the treatment of pictures, space, and sound, and the whole movie is very complete. I don't think it's the Palme d'Or that is enough to recognize the film. ”

Jeon Do-yeon also particularly admires Zhang Ran's films, and she also supports them at this time: ""Sun Scorching" is really shocking, and the way the movie is shot makes you feel as if you have lived with the character on the screen, which makes me feel like I am the character in the movie." ”

At this time, Jane Campion spoke: "'Sun Scorching' is a very good film, but Zhang Ran is already a successful director, he doesn't need the Palme d'Or at all, and he himself doesn't care. We all know that Zhang Ran didn't want to come to Cannes, but Fumao and Jacob invited him several times before inviting him. For Zhang Ran, it doesn't mean much whether he wins the Palme d'Or or not. On the contrary, Ceylon has always adhered to his own artistic philosophy, and has never thought of pandering and compromising with the commercial market, and I think such an independent director who insists on himself is more worthy of recognition. ”

Danish director Nicholas Refern agrees: "I agree, 'Hibernation' is very broad, this breadth of vision of life, humanity and understanding of life, a bit like Dostoevsky's. Such a vision is rare not only in literature, but even less in film, and "Winter Sleep" deserves a Palme d'Or. ”

Sofia Coppola was very unconvinced when she heard them say this, and immediately jumped up and retorted: "We are a film festival, shouldn't our criteria for judging films be to explore the film itself? Shouldn't we choose the best film? Why bother with others? Zhang Ran's film is the best, why give the award to other people?"

Jia Zhangke resolutely opposed: "We all make movies, and we should know how difficult it is to innovate in films." If you go to see those famous directors, most of them are standing still. If encouragement is needed, isn't Zhang Ran, a director who constantly seeks breakthroughs and constantly explores the boundaries of film language, more worthy of encouragement?"

Jane Campion was speechless, and the other judges in the room were lost in thought.

While the jury was debating the awards, Cannes reporters were trying to find out the news through various routes, and all kinds of rumors were flying around the Internet. For example, Jane Campion didn't like "Hibernation" and fell asleep while watching a movie, Nicholas Refern thought "Sunburn" was too showy, and so on.

Chinese reporters are more active than anyone else this year, as if they are crazy, squatting at the airport, guarding the hotel, looking for a travel agency to find a travel agency. Wherever it is possible to find out about the awards, you can see Chinese journalists.

"Sun Scorching" is arguably the highest quality of all the films in the competition, and it also scored a record 3.8 points, making it the favorite for the Palme d'Or. The last time China won the Palme d'Or was in 1993 with "Farewell My Concubine", and that was 21 years ago. Journalists very much hope that "Scorching Sun" will win the Palme d'Or, and they are naturally more interested than anyone else.

According to past experience, after the award results are out, the film festival organizing committee will notify the winners to participate in the award ceremony. However, at the time of notification, the organizing committee will not say what the specific award is, because if someone has already flown home and you tell him that he won the final prize and the jury prize, that person may not want to fly back to Cannes for a consolation prize.

In the process of this recall, it is inevitable that there will be a situation of information leakage. The crews who left Cannes came back by plane, and they couldn't leave immediately after attending the awards ceremony, they would definitely have to stay overnight, so it was possible to find out the corresponding news from the airline and from the hotel front desk.

Chinese reporters naturally focus on these places, and they are all trying to find out the news.

With the passage of time, more and more crews were recalled, and the crew was gradually clear. The crew of "Mr. Turner" has been recalled, "Leviathan" director Sargintsev has been recalled, and "Fox Hunter" director Bennett Miller has been recalled. But the crew of "Scorching Sun" has always been as quiet as a chicken, and there is no movement at all.

Towards 12 o'clock, a Chinese reporter squatting at the Martinez Hotel sent a message: "The judges have returned, and it is said that this year the judges have selected the results quickly, and there are fewer disputes." Bennett Miller, Ceylon, Sagintsev all have prizes at the moment. Julian Moore may be the actress. Zhang Ran and "Scorching Sun" are still unclear, and no specific information has been found. ”

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the Chinese reporters finally found out the accurate information, and the reporters who were squatting in the movie palace got a list of the seats for the guests at the closing ceremony and the list of special car pick-ups. If you can be on this list, there will definitely be a prize. Chinese reporters and fans were relieved when they saw the list, because there were not only Zhang Ran on the list, but also Li Xuejian and Wang Luodan.

After getting the list, Chinese reporters were very excited, "Scorching Sun" is the whole crew walking the red carpet together, so the film is more likely to win the award. It's either the Jury Prize, the Grand Jury Prize, or the Palme d'Or!

After the news spread to the Internet, Zhang Ran's fans were thunderous and looked forward to the awards ceremony in the evening.

However, Chinese journalists and fans were not excited for long, and soon there was gossip that Ceylon's "Hibernation" was the grand prize, but it was not clear what the specific award was, and "Scorching Sun" was a small award, because Jane Campion thought that Zhang Ran was already the best director in the world, and he was famous enough that he did not need the blessing of the Palme d'Or, and should give the Palme d'Or to other directors, so that these directors could get more attention.

Chinese journalists and fans were outraged after hearing the news, and reporters on Fly and overseas fan forums, film critics and fans also expressed their dissatisfaction. If the quality of "Scorching Sun" is average, even if you don't give you an award, you will have nothing to say. But now it is clear that the quality of "Scorching Sun" is the best, but you don't give the award because Zhang Ran is famous enough, which is too unfair.

Of course, this is just gossip, and it is difficult to say what the final result will be. However, many reporters present have already made up their minds, if "Sun Scorching" is really sent away by a small award, then when it comes to the press conference, you must ask Jane Campion, shouldn't the film festival judge the film itself, why mix other factors?

At 7 o'clock in the evening, the 67th Cannes Film Festival Awards Ceremony officially began.

The first award was the Palme d'Or for the short film, Spain's "Leddy," and the award was presented to Iranian filmmaker Abbas and Chinese star Li Yuchun. Zhang Ran admires Abbas very much, Abbas's films are not anti-social, nor do they have any political things, his films always focus on discovering the humanity in daily life and trivial matters, some seemingly ordinary little things, but he can shoot a new artistic height, this is the real master, this is the real awesome.

After the presentation of the Palme d'Or, the nine judges appeared and took their seats on the left side of the stage. Immediately afterwards, Jacob and the president of the Caméra d'Or jury took to the stage to present the award for the best debut film, also known as the Caméra d'Or.

Helping Jacob slowly onto the stage, the audience all stood up and saluted Jacob with applause. Director of Cannes since 1977 and President since 2001, he has served at the top of the Cannes leadership for 37 years, leading the Festival de Cannes to a glorious history. The second half of Jacob's life is almost the equivalent of half of the history of the Cannes Film Festival.

Before the 70s, Venice was the world's No. 1 film festival, but due to Venice's own death, the awards were canceled in the 70s, and Jacob's drastic reform of Cannes actively moved closer to Hollywood, and spent all his efforts to invite Coppola, Woody Allen and other masters to Cannes, and finally in the 80s, Cannes surpassed Venice and became the first temple of art films.

Jacob stood in front of the microphone, slowly opened the envelope, and announced with a smile: "The winner of the Caméra d'Or at this year's film festival is 'Frutville Station'!"

The audience and guests at the scene were applauding, and the crew of "Scorching Sun" applauded very hard. During the filming of "Scorching Sun", Ryan Coogler stayed on the crew, worked with everyone, and can be said to be a member of the crew. His film won an award at Cannes, and everyone was happy.

To a round of applause, Ryan Coogler took the stage to receive the trophy from Jacob. He looked at the crowd under the stage and said excitedly: "Thank you to the jury for awarding this award to me, thank you to all the staff of the crew, and especially to Director Zhang Ran." Before I made "Frutville Station", I spent several months in "Sun Scorching", and I learned what it means to be a director and what perseverance is from director Zhang Ran. ”

The TV station cut the camera to Zhang Ran, only to see him stand up and applaud Ryan Coogler with a smile on his face.

The camera cuts back, and Ryan Coogler continues: "If it weren't for the study on the set of "Sunburning" and without the guidance of director Zhang Ran, "Frutville Station" would not have been filmed to this extent. Thank you very much to Director Zhang Ran. Finally, I dedicate this award to all those who make movies with their hearts, and I am one of you. ”

After Ryan Coogler stepped down, the atmosphere suddenly became tense, and the heartstrings of Chinese reporters in the media center, as well as all the fans who cared about "Sun Scorching" in front of the computers and televisions, were buzzing. The awards for the main competition unit will be presented below, what kind of award will "Scorching Sun" be?
