The voting method in Cannes was by secret ballot, and although there were discussions, it was only a small persuasion.

Basically, after reading a work, it is discussed.

Of course, the final award must not be a monopoly, so before the final voting, there will be a collective discussion.

However, until the final vote, no one knows where the final award belongs!

That night, the staff sent an invitation to "Cinema Paradiso".

This means that "Cinema Paradiso" will definitely win the award!

I just don't know if it's the Palme d'Or or not!

……

As we all know, the Festival de Cannes has two major traditions. The first is the enthusiasm of French productions, like palm trees and bikinis on the golden beaches of the Mediterranean, and the second is the maverick of mixed reviews, with some accusing commercial hype of gimmicks of obscuring the light of art, and some summarizing it as the jumping aesthetic of the jury members who vary greatly from year to year.

No one could have predicted where the awards would go at the Festival de Cannes!

In fact, it is true, the Oscars have a bunch of media predictions every year, and Las Vegas even makes a bet, but almost no one has the courage to make a record in front of the Cannes Film Festival, the best director, the best screenwriter, the actor, the actress - it is amazing to be able to cover one, and the usual calculated calculations are inevitably "all four empty", not to mention the "Palme d'Or" and "Grand Jury Award" - the works entered at the Cannes Film Festival, must not be unanimously sought after by the local media, otherwise 100% of the works will not be received.

On the closing day of the film festival, countless fans and media gathered in front of the Film Palace again, of course, compared with the much-anticipated opening ceremony, the closing red carpet was relatively small.

The closing is aimed at the entries, and even Fan Xiaopang can't pull his face on the closing red carpet...

Media attention was also focused on the awards ceremony that followed.

"Of course I'd love to see my film win, but. ”

Xu Hui, who was dressed in a black suit, stood in the media interview area, and in the face of interviews with domestic reporters, he said very calmly: "As long as the audience likes "Paradise Cinema", I am already very satisfied!"

On the surface, he is as stable as a dog, but his heart is a little throbbing.

The last time I had such a mindset was when Takata was born!

This feeling of entrusting one's fate to someone else is so uncomfortable!

After a few words, he left the interview area and walked in the direction of the Palais du Film.

In front of the movie palace stood Jia Zhangke, and next to him stood his daughter-in-law, Zhao Tao...

"Lao Jia..."

"Director Xu!"

Jia Zhangke smiled very happily, the overseas sales of "Destined" were doing well, at this time, he still had some fantasies that the movie could be released...

"Congratulations, "Heaven is Destined" will definitely have a harvest!"

“… Where, it's still not as good as "Cinema Paradiso"..."

The domestic exposure of "Heaven Destined" is pitiful, and the mainstream media did not report it at all, and it was mentioned in a few tabloids.

Xu Hui and Jia Zhangke have nothing in common at all, the so-called Tao is different and does not conspire with each other, just a few words, Al Pacino over there has already finished the interview, nodded at Lao Jia, Xu Hui took the lead in the movie palace.

“… Didn't you say you wanted to ask him for help?"

After Xu Hui left, Zhao Tao glanced at Jia Zhangke and asked.

Jia Zhangke retracted his gaze and looked at his daughter-in-law: "Why should people help? Forget it, I'd better figure it out by myself!"

“… What can be done?"

"Foreign countries feed back to China, as long as "Heaven is Destined" can win the award, those people don't dare to do too much!"

……

The award ceremony officially began, and the first one was the Golden Camera Award.

The so-called Golden Camera is an award given to the director's debut, which is equivalent to the Best Newcomer Award.

Awarded to "Mom and Dad Are Not Home", Ang Lee especially likes this work!

This is followed by the Best Short Film and Screenplay awards.

The Script Award was awarded to Jia Zhangke's "Destined"...

The expression on Lao Jia's face was a little regretful, the script award was obviously not enough!

Wang Xiaoshuai's "Green Red" also won the Jury Prize at the Cannes Film Festival that year, how many people know?

If you can't get the Palme d'Or, it means that the weight is insufficient, and it is not easy for "Destined" to be released in China.

And compared with the Script Award, he wants Zhao Tao to win the Cannes Actress even more!

Hey, Lao Jia is really a lover, he has made a bunch of movies, the male protagonist has changed a lot, and the heroine is always his daughter-in-law.

Coordinates: In 2018, Jia Zhangke made a comeback, "Children of Jianghu" formed Xu Guangtou, Feng Xiaogang, Diao Yinan, Zhang Yibai, F4 in the director world, the male number one chose Liao Fu, the female number one, thunder can't move, Zhao Tao!

Zhao Tao's character is a young model...

really comes with his own wife filter, Lao Jia is definitely true love for Zhao Tao, if he doesn't take the Cannes actress, he will not give up!

It's almost as good as Shen Lin...

The award ceremony continues, followed by the Director's Prize and the Grand Jury Prize...

The Director's Prize went to "Haley" and the Grand Jury Prize went to "The Drunken Country Folk"

"OK, Best Actress at the 66th Cannes International Film Festival..."

Here's the highlight.

If the Best Actress is awarded to the two actresses of "Adele's Life", it means that the Palme d'Or is out of play!

Xu Hui was a little nervous.

Then from the mouth of the presenter, Vidia Balan, said, 'Congratulations, Bejenice-Becho!'

it!

It's already obvious that "Cinema Paradiso" is out of play!

Paralyzing...

Speechless!

"Thank you to director Asghar Farhati, thank you to the whole crew, wow, this is the most memorable moment of my life..."

Bejenice Beccio was so excited that she was on the verge of crying.

Xu Hui was about to cry too!

What a dog!

But there is still a glimmer of life, if the next best actor is not awarded to Al Pacino, "Cinema Paradiso" will still have a chance!

Hehe, he's thinking too much!

Ang Lee read out the winners, no nonsense: "Best Actor at the 66th Cannes International Film Festival... Al Pacino!"

Really...

Xu Hui was as steady as a dog, accepting Al Pacino's hugs, all kinds of congratulations, and then watching the old man come on stage...

"Thank you Cannes, thank you Director Xu Hui, a good movie can make actors empathize, I am 73 years old, there are few scripts that can make me desire movies again, thank you "Cinema Paradiso", I look forward to working with you next time!"

The old man has been in the film industry for so many years, and he must know the rules of Cannes, and he also knows that "Paradise Cinema" basically has no chance of winning the Palme d'Or, so this acceptance speech can be regarded as an affirmation of Xu Hui and "Paradise Cinema"!

Xu Hui had a very warm smile on his face, and he didn't seem to be affected at all...

After that, the Palme d'Or was unexpectedly awarded to "Adele's Life"...

Looking at director Abdai Kosych on the podium, he solemnly stated: "This film is cosmopolitan and pure love... Thank you to Cannes for giving this film the respect it deserves..."

Xu Hui was a little speechless, what a sarcasm!
