Chapter 38 Attribution of Awards
After discussing with Bill for a long time, I never got any useful information, and the only possibility is that Gong Li will get the actress.
It can be regarded as barely completing the most basic face-slapping task.
At the beginning, he pretended to say that he wanted to praise Gong Li, if this trip to Cannes was destined to be nothing for the entire "Carol", Shen Lin could only hope that Gong Li could give a little more strength!
……
Lumière Hall of the Palais du Cinémathèque.
First of all, the jury came to the stage and appeared to thank them, and the Coen brothers were cold throughout the whole process, in fact, the entire jury maintained a cold style, except for Sophie Marceau's various smiles to the director, actors and media in the audience.
"Shen Lin,"
Returning to his seat, Gong Li squeezed out a smile: "It is estimated that your chances of winning the Palme d'Or will be smaller this time!"
As a regular at the Cannes Film Festival, Gong Li certainly understands the urine nature of this thing.
Shen Lin shrugged his shoulders indifferently, pretending to be proud: "It's okay, not this time, there will be next time, besides, I may not have a chance at all!"
"But my agent said that I have a good chance of winning the actress!"
"I know, but don't forget, these are the three most elusive film festivals in Europe!"
Unlike the Oscars, the three major European film festivals do not have too fixed award criteria, and they are also very obviously influenced by the preferences of the jury.
Maybe the Coen brothers from the United States want to change Cannes, and I don't know!
In the history of the Cannes Film Festival, there have been various double yolk eggs, especially the one when the king of sunglasses served as the chairman of the jury, which produced 11 actors and actresses in one go, and has since become the laughing stock of the film industry.
Nima, Lao Wang is really awesome, but since then, no major film festival has dared to invite him to be a judge.
The awards ceremony in Cannes is not as cumbersome and entertaining as the Oscars, and the process is quick.
The master of ceremonies is only responsible for announcing the winners.
The first was the Caméra d'Or, which was awarded to a Mexican director of Earth and Shadow.
There were media collective boos off the field, "Earth and Shadow" is not an excellent work, the reputation is very poor, and even the main competition unit was not shortlisted!
The award must be won because there is a Mexican director Guillermo del Toro on the jury, out of the psychology of taking care of Paoze!
The bearded director came on stage and spoke Spanish before leaving.
It's just fine.
Immediately afterwards, the Best Short Film Award "98 Wave" and the Script Award "Chronic" were awarded one after another.
Soon came a kind of unit of concern.
A kind of attention is a new unit reward set up in Cannes, which has been established for almost 30 years, of course, it is not comparable to the main competition unit, however, it pays more attention to the works of small film countries, but the quality is not to say!
To paraphrase the intuitive image of Cannes by most spectators: the quality of a unit of concern in Cannes is basically the same as that of the main competition in Venice, and better than that of the main competition in Berlin. Most of the award-winning films in Venice and Berlin will not make it to the main competition when they are sent to Cannes, so it is good to be able to get a kind of attention.
It's a pity that no Chinese director was shortlisted for this 'Un Certain Concern', the grand prize was "Ram", which was won by a director from Iceland, and the best director was "Shore Journey" by Kiyoshi Kurosawa from Japan.
The awards ceremony continued, and the director award went to "Assassin Nie Yinniang"
When Hou Xiaoxian took the stage to accept the award, the Chinese media in the audience were very excited and coaxed, but on the contrary, some foreign media were a little quiet.
"It's the seventh time I've been to Cannes, I've won an award before, I forgot what it was called. It's really a great honor for me to get the director award this time, thank you. It's not easy to make a movie, especially it's very difficult to find money, I want to thank my crew, starring Zhang Zhen, Shu Qi, screenwriter Zhu Tianwen, thank you. ”
(The Taiwan side translates Cannes as Cannes)
Shen Lin gave a standing ovation.
No matter how much they don't like to see Hou Xiaoxian's veteran filmmakers, they love movies after all!
Hou Xiaoxian deserves the best director in Cannes!
Next came the Grand Jury Prize for "Son of Saul", which was met with applause when director László Gelles took the stage to accept the award.
In the eyes of a dry media, this film is the most qualified to win the Palme d'Or!
So far, it seems that no well-anticipated characters or works have won the grand prize.
The best actress is awarded in the next round.
The award was presented by one of the judges, Sienna Miller.
opened the envelope very succinctly: "OK, Best Actress at the 68th Cannes Film Festival..."
"The winners are, Gong Li, Zhao li ying, and Emmanuel Beckett Congratulations!"
I'll go, three people?
The scene was obviously stunned at first, and then the audience was boiling, especially the filmmakers and media from China, all of whom had a proud expression!
Needless to say, Gong Li's acting skills are also okay, and the media of "Carol" Shuangshu has a high evaluation.
In fact, these two have always been rated by the media as the most likely favorites to win the actress, as for Emmanuel Beckett, they are French actors with the advantage of nationality.
Gong Li was wearing a red dress, the atmosphere was abnormal, confident and beautiful, Zhao Liying was a little confused, the main British actress's tone was too special, so she was not sure that she had won the award, until Shen Lin pushed her with a look of hatred, Liying woke up and hurriedly held the right hand handed by Gong Li.
The reporters hurriedly took various pictures, and the flash almost shook Yingbao's little face.
As for the French actress Emmanuel Beckett, no one paid attention at all.
Gong Li was the first to speak, the queen of Chinese films has long been an international superstar, but she was not as calm as she imagined, and said with tears in the corners of her eyes: "What a wonderful night, I want to thank the jury, the entire "Carol" crew, and of course, the director Shen Lin, thank you Zhao Liying!"
“… I don't know what to say, anyway, thank you jury, thank you Cannes, thank you my husband, Shen Lin!"
Zhao Liying's acceptance speech was nothing to say, and the young lady was a little excited and a little incoherent.
Sophie Marceau looked serious, she already wanted to scold her mother a little, what do you mean?
What the hell are the Coen brothers and the other judges doing?
How do you make the evaluation results of three yolk eggs?
Aren't they afraid of being smiling and generous?
As a judge, she participated in the voting of the various projects, and of course, did not know the final evaluation results.
But she clearly said a lot of bad things about "Carol", and also said that Gong Li's performance this time was not novel.
In her original plan, Gong Li may win the actress, as for Zhao Liying, she didn't pay attention to it at all, although the media rated her very highly, but most Europeans know her through "Super Body"
What acting skills can a typical commercial film heroine have?
Looking at the two excited actresses from the East on stage, Sophie Marceau suddenly had an ominous premonition in her heart.
Could it be, the Palme d'Or?
No way, the Coen brothers wouldn't dare do that, and the organizers wouldn't let them be so willful.
