Chapter 315 Scene 315 Movie Paradise

The applause in "xiexie, xiexie" gradually stopped, everyone took their seats again, and Laura Morant, who was sexy on stage, looked at the audience and excitedly spoke the opening speech in her sexy Italian accent English:

"Tonight, at this moment, to be here with you for the 57th Cannes Film Festival, is the most glorious day of my life, and I feel very excited and even a little dizzy to stand here, not only because of a talented director, and the president of the jury tonight standing next to me, but also because we are about to be able to relive the genius films that have emerged this year."

Quentin Tarantino laughed in his usual ruffian tone:

"This year is the 57th edition, and when I first heard about Cannes when I was eight or nine years old, I saw articles in the newspapers. For me as a movie fan, Cannes is heaven. If you like movies, Cannes is heaven, thank God ~ I came to heaven 3 times ~"

The scene was amused, a burst of hahadaxiao.

"My first dream was to bring my first film 'Reservoir Dogs' to Cannes, my second dream was achieved with my film 'Pulp Fiction' which won the Palme d'Or, and my next dream was to be on the jury, and I actually became the president."

The audience burst into laughter, but Quentin Tarantino's tone became sincere, looking at all the people below:

"I believe that if you make a movie, you must also have a dream, if you have a dream, then Cannes must be your dream city, and I believe that this year there are countless young filmmakers who are like me back then, coming to Cannes for the first time, including from the United States, South Korea, Thailand, and Hong Kong...... China's ......"

In the midst of applause, the TV screen camera switched to Quentin Tarantino's lines, recording the representatives of various countries, the crew of "Fahrenheit 911" in the United States, the crew of "Old Boy" in South Korea, the crew of "Tropical Diseases" in Thailand, the crew of "2046" in Hong Kong, and the crew of "Do Not Disturb" in China......

The on-site director obviously understands the tastes of the French audience better, and did not give them the shot of "Ambush on All Sides", but turned to "Divide Do Not Disturb", which was in the limelight on the red carpet, and aimed at the youngest director on the scene, Li Xiaole.

Quentin Tarantino began to continue to laugh at the guests in the audience, and in bursts of applause and laughter, he looked in the direction of the front row and said with a smile: "Let's take a look at the big beauties who came to cheer this year, this is what I have carefully selected as the chairman of the jury, to be honest, this is also the only criterion for me to choose a movie, Charlize Theron, dear, where are you?" ”

In the laughter of the scene, the camera immediately swept Charlize Theron, she smiled and raised her palm and lowered her head, meaning "Don't laugh at me", Quentin Tarantino continued: "I just watched your performance of "The Witch", guess you heard me call you dear, you must want to come up and slap me, but don't forget that I am the chairman~." ”

The audience was in an uproar, Charlize Theron smiled and looked down at the camera, Quentin Tarantino suddenly found something surprised, and said, "Sorry, I didn't see Essiva next to you" He said calmly:

"According to Indian customs, I must have been sexually harassed just now, sorry, I didn't call you~" India's superstar Bollywood's No. 1 beauty Ai Siwarya also laughed and made a gesture of blessing with folded hands on the stage.

"Of course, I also invited my Chinese friend, who is also a big beauty." After a few words, Quentin Tarantino said with a serious expression, and there was a chuckle in the audience, and he continued:

"He asked me to make sure he showed his face so that he could have her name called the next time he came to Cannes."

Just when everyone's eyes were looking at Zhang Ziyi in the direction of the crew of "Ambush on All Sides", Zhang Ziyi was also excitedly holding her chest and preparing to stand up, but she didn't expect Quentin Tarantino to point in the direction of the crew of "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb" and said loudly:

"She is my new friend, Li Xiaole~~"

At this time, the camera focused on Li Xiaole's delicate and handsome little face, and everyone was stunned, and immediately the scene was full of laughter, even Sun Li and Zhang Guorong beside him were laughing happily.

Li Xiaole had to smile awkwardly at the camera, thinking, your sister ...... Quentin, the old boy, still resents the fact that he snatched his laser sword.

This shot was recorded by the global media signal and broadcast all over Shijie, and many European and American fans in front of the TV felt a little inexplicable and asked their friends around them, who is this?

"Okay, you owe me a favor, next time I have a birthday, I'll give you the address, remember to give me the Star Wars laser sword you won from the Coen brothers as a gift."

In the midst of loud haha laughter, Quentin Tarantino spread his hands and said abruptly: "I'm sorry, he won the game of 'guess the plot' in the movie city a few days ago, and the Coen brothers must hate him as much as I do......" After making fun of a few movies and Will Smith, as well as Wang Jiawei in sunglasses, Squentin Tarantino said in an emotional tone:

"There are a lot of familiar faces in tonight's guests, the conference praises your talent, you are very popular with people from all over the world, I can't help but think of a question, we are going to participate in the film festival?" As the room sounded to the sound of soft music, Quentin Tarantino took a few steps and then spoke:

"Everyone here comes from different countries, has different political factors, social cultures, but we all love the same movie~"

The big screen began to show various movie clips, such as the Empire State Building in "Fahrenheit 911...... the big green fat man holding the princess in battle against monsters in "Shrek 2", and Che Guevara riding a motorcycle across the Argentine grasslands in "Motorcycle Diaries".

"We have not encountered a catastrophe like 911, we have not seen a terrible monster, and we have not started a revolution in a foreign country like the great Che Guevara...... They are not the characters in our lives, experiences. With the picture, Quentin Tarantino looked at everyone below and said in a deep tone:

"But each of us has encountered a moment of crisis, we have all despaired, we have all been threatened by evil, we have risen up to resist, and everyone has been confused and overwhelmed...... When we face everything that happens in our lives alone, we can find answers in the movies, get empathy, and be inspired by these stories to become more Haode people......

Haode movies are the common wealth of all people on Shijie, we are here, witness greatness together, discover those genius-like shining moments, the most brilliant moments of the human soul, here is a festival that belongs to the movie, a festival that belongs to each of us. ”

The thunderous applause resounded in the room, the long opening speech was over, Quentin Tarantino returned to the jury, and sat side by side with Tsui Hark, Emmanuelle Pia, Tsui Hark, Tita Swinton, and Catherine Turner, and the award ceremony officially began.

In the midst of thunderous applause, Sophie Mashu stood in front of the microphone in the center of the stage with a white singing skirt as white as snow, showed a noble and elegant smile, and said:

"Thank you all for the applause, this is the third time I've been here, it's incredible to stand here every time, and I'm honored to witness this exciting moment once again, and the winner of the Jury Prize is ......."

Because the Cannes Film Festival is different from the Oscars, all the awards are selected together, and there is no shortlisted picture, the camera is directly aimed at the crews of each competition unit in the audience, and the organizing committee award is equivalent to the third prize of the Cannes Film Festival, which is generally awarded to the works second only to the Palme d'Or and the jury award, in other words, it is impossible to get the Palme d'Or if you get this award.

For example, the popular crews of "2046" and "Fahrenheit 911" don't want the camera to come over at this time, but the other small crews who came over are full of them.

"The award was won for the work directed by Park Chan-wook of "Old Boy"." Sophie Marceau opened the envelope and read it out with a smile.

"Whew" The venue immediately applauded, Sophie Marceau pulled her hair and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Park Chan-wook~"

South Korean director Park Chan-wook was speechless with excitement, but he just said vigorously: "Thank you Choi Min-sik for your wonderful performance in the film, thank him, and thank all the crew members." ”

He is the second Korean director to be recognized by the Cannes judges, only after the godfather of Korean cinema, Lim Chang-dong, and the excitement can be imagined.

This was followed by the award for Best Short Film - Russian film "Ordinary Life", Best Actor - Japanese film "Nobody Knows" 14-year-old Ayukin (), Best Supporting Actor (Chris Cooper), Best Film Award in the Un Certain Regard Unit - "Marland"

What excites Li Xiaole and all Chinese is that Chinese films have also won huge awards, with director Yang Cao winning the "Golden Camera Special Attention Award" for the documentary "Journey", and Zhang Manyu winning the first Best Actress Award for Asian actors for the first time in history.

Zhang Manyu affectionately thanked her ex-husband, who is also the director of the movie "Clean".

Although Li Xiaole had known this result for a long time, when he saw the scene of thunderous applause from the audience congratulating Maggie Cheung, he was still very excited, and he couldn't help but cheer loudly below.

Of course, "Clean" is a French movie, and Maggie Cheung was also selected for French nationality, and the French people did not treat Maggie Cheung as an outsider, which can be said to be very happy.
