Chapter 138: The so-called Cannes
"Andrei Zulasky?" Li Xu made a look of reminiscence, "what's wrong with him?"
Isabel looked at him for a long time before saying: "Last year, he beat people in public because of drug abuse, and injured a pregnant woman, and then he was involved in a lot of illegal incidents, and was finally expelled from France, didn't you do it?"
"How could it be. "www.biquge.info If I had done it, I wouldn't have used such inefficient means, and it would have been too simple to just expel France." ”
Of course he didn't do it, he just ordered Zurasky to make some trouble below, but he didn't expect him to be too high, and he was pulled out of a lot of. His friends in the circle were running around for him at first, but the more he talked about his, such as little girls or something, one by one he became avoidable.
Even so, this guy was only prosecuted and deported from France, and in a few years, when the effects of these things have passed, this guy will definitely be able to come out and continue to make movies, these European birdmen...... Well, it's all over the world.
Li Xu still remembers that after the coming-of-age ceremony, his father took the time to take him to two places, a certain estate outside Paris, and a casino in Las Vegas, as for what was inside, hehe......
"What are you bringing me here for?" asked Li Xu after coming out of the manor on the outskirts of Paris.
"Let you see how low the lower limit of people can be. Daddy replied.
"You think that's their limit. Li Xu asked again.
"Obviously not," Daddy smiled, "once humans completely let their desires dominate, there will be no lower limits. ”
Well, that's right, the people in the manor will only be more exaggerated in ten years' time, after all, there is a large influx of Eastern European girls.
In the same way, those guys in Las Vegas will not relent, in the previous life, I always saw some SB say that the United States has zero tolerance for child pornography, and once it is touched, it will be over, just like Polanski.
However, they do not and do not want to know that the United States does have zero tolerance for child pornography, but the United States is also the largest outflow of child pornography videos, with a market share of at least 80%.
As for Polanski, it is not so much that he was framed, but that he himself died and was stupid.
"So, you have to understand where your bottom line is, II. Daddy finally said meaningfully.
"I understand. Li Xu shrugged.
Without mentioning this, let's get back to the point, and despite what he explains, Isabel clearly doesn't believe it all.
"Didn't you just say that you didn't know what had happened to him?" Isabel asked, staring at him.
"I only know what happened to Zuraski, but I don't know that he was expelled from France," Li Xu said in a good time, "after all, this is not something I should be concerned about." ”
Isabel finally ran out of words, but still looked at him unconvinced.
"Oh, by the way, when it comes to Zurasky, I forgot to tell you," Li Xu suddenly added, "I have also found your lower face." ”
"The lower half of the face?" Isabel frowned.
"You forget, I said at the end of last year that the little girl who shines in 'First Kiss', Sophie Marceau, has eyes that look a lot like yours. Li Xu reminded him.
"Oh, a lot of people say that. Isabel's chin lifted slightly, faintly disdainful, "Even those media outlets." ”
Li Xu smiled slightly: "However, her eyes are just a little similar, and she is not as beautiful as you, the words of 'Little Adjani' can barely be counted, but 'Adjani Second' is definitely not qualified." ”
Although Isabel still had that calm and secretly disdainful expression, there was still a hint of joy in her blue eyes, hehe, tsundere girl.
"So I was thinking, since there are girls who are similar to the top half of your face, there should also be girls who are similar to the bottom half of your face, so I asked people to look for them. Li Xu continued, "In the end, I finally found one, I went to high school in Italy, and my dream was to be a lawyer, and I thought I could help her." ”
"What is this for?" Isabel instinctively felt that it was not a good thing.
"I can't get you, and I'm going to face you, so I'm just going to find two alternatives. Li Xu shrugged.
Isabel opened her mouth, not knowing what to say for a while, but the little guy suddenly slapped the children's table next to her: "Substitute Bin! Substitute Bin!"
Well, she's learned a new vocabulary.
"Anna, remember not to say this word in front of your mother, her mother doesn't like it. Li Xu pinched the little guy's face, and then looked at Isabel: "I'm going back today, and I'll come back in a few days, don't worry, I will definitely be able to catch you up to win the Best Actress." ”
It didn't appear in "Infatuation," or that minute-long no-line crazy one-man show, but "Quartet" was pretty good—at least in the eyes of the European filmmakers.
What's more, because Zuraski was in trouble last year and was expelled from France, he did not finish "Infatuation", and naturally did not come to Cannes. The rest are not competitive, and Isabel has no problem winning this year's Best Actress, not to mention that Li Xu has done some extra work.
As I said before, it is impossible for a jury of 10 to 20 people to select movies fairly, not to mention that watching movies is a very personal matter, and the chairman of the jury has a lot of power.
The awards at the Festival de Cannes are not voted for, or in other words, the award is determined by the president of the jury who can convince or convince the other judges.
The general process should be that the president of the festival, Gilles Jacob, decides on the president of the jury and sends out invitations, and then the president of the jury invites the right person to serve as a jury.
Then keep watching the film and discussing which films are eligible to be shortlisted and awarded, and finally reach a consensus, in this process, even if Jacob is the chairman of the film, he can't resist the chairman of the jury.
But different juries have different internal disputes and changes, such as Francis Coppola, who participated in the 32nd Cannes Film Festival mentioned by Li Xu before, not only played a big name and put forward various requirements, but also forced Jacob to help lobby the jury and award the Palme d'Or to his "Apocalypse Now", well, it is the Vietnam War movie that lost his money.
However, the president of the jury at the time, the French writer Françoise Sagan, was also very tough, insisting that the Palme d'Or be given to her favorite movie "Tin Drum", so the final result was that the Palme d'Or appeared in Cannes for the first time.
In addition, Polanski's 44th edition as president of the jury is also very interesting, not to mention a certain woman's tapered bra, Polanski has always been in the hands of the jury, and when he decided to award the Palme d'Or to "Barton Fink", not a single member of the entire jury objected, as if he loved the film very much.
Jacob, who is the president of the festival, even touted: "Did you notice? This movie is a complete tribute to you......"
"Do you really think so?"
"yes, a lot of 'In Cold Blood,' 'Dead End,' 'Strange Tenant', 'Rosemary's Baby'...... All the masterpieces are inside. ”
Polanski listened to the "dragon face" and finally gave the Coen brothers the best director and best actor in the film, and others, such as Jacob's favorite, French director Maurice Piara's "Van Gogh", as if they didn't exist at all.
And the counter-example is that in another time and space, the 50th Cannes where Isabel served as the president of the jury, she was completely and completely overlooked, and finally not only made a double yolk egg again, whether it was "The Taste of Cherries" or "Eel", or "Sweet Afterlife" and "Springtime", all of them were not liked by Isabel, and the result was a complete fall out with the jury.
Compared with the other Isabel, compared to Isabelle Huppert at the 62nd Cannes Film Festival, not only awarded the Palme d'Or to Michael Haneke, but also personally presented him with the award as the president of the jury, Isabelle Adjani is too tender.
The so-called Cannes Film Festival, this is the case, even the three major European film festivals, such as Quentin when he was president of the Cannes jury, awarded the Palme d'Or to Fahrenheit 911, and when he was president of the Cannes jury in Venice, he awarded the Golden Lion to his ex-girlfriend Sofia Coppola.
Even if it causes controversy, the interests you get are the interests, and you have the ability to recover them.
The Oscars are also all kinds of transactions, but at least it seems that there are a lot of people, even if you know that the so-called committee didn't know that the list was just a statement before the lottery, you can't find any evidence, and you are not the owner and shareholder of PricewaterhouseCoopers.
Moreover, the most interesting thing is that Eastwood, the old cowboy of Hollywood, was the most democratic when he was the president of the Cannes jury, and all the awards were voted on without interference, and Uncle Ge also won the Best Actor.
The president of the jury this time is Liv Uman, a Norwegian actress who was born in Japan in 39 and spent her childhood in Tokyo, Ottawa, and New York.
"Didn't you say you were going to make a movie, when would you make one, and use it for the Cannes Film Festival? Isabel said suddenly, her face a little strange.
"You said before that I only cared about movies that could make money, and now you are pushing me to make films that can participate in the Cannes Film Festival," Li Xumo rubbed his chin, "Honey, you make it very difficult for me to do this." ”
"You just have to pay for it anyway. Isabel said with an eyebrow raised.
"Oh, isn't money everything?" Li Xu laughed, but he immediately added, "But your proposal is also very interesting, Isha, I will seriously consider it." ”
Well, if Wang Jing does a good job with that movie in the second half of the year, he can consider handing over a certain script to him to deal with, a very interesting script that should have appeared in 20 years.
I don't know if it will cause amazement or criticism when it is exhibited at the Cannes Film Festival of this era?
If Wang Jing does a good job, he can also be praised as an image of both commercial and artistic, which must be very interesting. (To be continued.) )
