Chapter 267: Cannes Wins the Crown
readx;
"The winner of the Director's Award at the 47th Festival de Cannes is...... Nanni #8226;Morett, Dear Story! ”
Xiao Ran was stunned for a moment, and couldn't believe his ears at all. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info when he confidently came with "True Colors" and vowed to go back with an award, Cannes, who was not stingy a few years ago, actually gave him a nail in the face. This collision hit the head and bleed.
His heart beat wildly a few times, Xiao Ran's dull gaze only stayed for less than a second, if the camera lens swept over him, it would definitely not be able to see the bitterness and disappointment in his eyes. Xiao Ran suddenly felt that he was experimenting in order to pursue a directorial style, which may not necessarily be correct.
Thankfully, he was strong-willed and soon smiled. The film was nothing more than an experimental work, and he would come with another, more powerful film, and he would make sure that Cannes would be subjugated to his hands. Moreover, he vowed that he would be the screenwriter of that film himself. Thinking of all this, his mood quickly stabilized.
The applause of the audience immediately rang out, in order to take care of the demeanor, even if Xiao Ran lost, he had to applaud on the surface. It's a wonderful feeling, watching people win on stage, and laughing happily when a loser loses, it's really amazing.
Xiao Ran now knows what it was like when he won the award on stage before, and he also understands why Liu Hua is so eager to have an award. He thinks it's not just for this actor title, but also for the sake of pouring out feelings similar to Xiao Ran's now.
Faintly, Xiao Ran had a feeling that if he didn't work this time, it might not be the next time. One failure will lead to future success. Because of failure, people are able to gain experience in it, and when they have accumulated a lot of experience, they can begin. At the same time, he was also a little lucky, glad that he had filmed so many dramas and only lost once, which was a miracle.
After thinking through all this, Xiao Ran found that he could gradually appreciate this award calmly, sometimes people always need a certain amount of failure to calm down. The Actress Award is presented below, and the winner is Vina #8226 of Queen Margot;
When the award was presented to the Cannes Best Actor, Xiao Ran gradually smiled, Ge You was the first Chinese actor to be crowned emperor in Cannes in history, and now it has become the second because of the appearance of Fa Ge. However, it obviously doesn't matter, there is not much difference between the first and the second, they are both equally glorious Cannes actors.
When Ge You heard the guests on the stage spell out his name, he was stunned, and the audience burst into thunderous applause, it seems that his performance has indeed conquered many audiences. The final link is the Palme d'Or, which is an award that countless people want to win.
Xiao Ran also wanted to take it, but he knew very well that "True Colors" had little chance. The guest of honor was Gille #8226, the chairman of the jury of the conference, Jacob, Jacob came to the stage and looked at the countless guests in the audience and said with a smile: "There are a lot of Chinese films in this Cannes, and we have all enjoyed these films, we can't help but admit that they are just as good as what Director Xiao Ran showed us back then!" ”
"Because of their appearance, the image of Cannes, a global film festival, has been completely consolidated, because we all know very well that at any time, the Chinese will always be a force to be reckoned with!" Jacob's words may not sound to some people, but they are absolutely true.
"Now, let's see which film will win the Palme d'Or!" Under the gradual silence of the audience, Jacob raised the sealed answer in his hand, opened it and looked at it carefully, and then stared down and shouted: "The winner of the Palme d'Or at the 47th Cannes Film Festival is ......"
Xiao Ran didn't care much about it, but sometimes people may not be able to exercise self-control, and his heart is very high, although he knows that he doesn't have much hope, and he hopes to win the director award more than the Palme d'Or.
"The Palme d'Or winner is ......" Jacob obviously didn't know that his means of hanging his appetite were quite high, and with the mobilization of music, the mood of the scene was almost reached. I saw him suddenly shout: "Pulp Fiction!" ”
Quentin's performance now is quite interesting, I saw this kid bounce violently, and his face was full of irrepressible excitement. At this moment, Jacob suddenly raised his hands and said loudly: "Something amazing has happened, there will be two winners of the Palme d'Or this year, in addition to "Pulp Fiction", and the other winning film is ...... "True Colors"! ”
Xiao Ran's heart was pounding rapidly, and he was a little confused at that moment, he couldn't believe that he could win the Palme d'Or with his experimental works. At this moment, a ridiculous thought popped into his mind: If he made experimental films in the future, wouldn't he often win awards?
Smiled at Quentin and walked slowly onto the stage, Jacob shook hands with them and said hello, taking over the highest honor in Cannes. Xiao Ran motioned for Quentin to speak first, Quentin hesitated for a moment, and happiness and joy were deeply imprinted on his face: "I used to be a kid who rented out video tapes, and Hong Kong films made me crazy and fascinated, but now I can film in Hong Kong, which is really the honor of my life." ”
"Now, to be able to stand on this stage, I want to thank Mr. Xiao Ran the most. It was he who created a different film system from Hollywood, and it was this system that allowed me to have the most creative freedom! Quentin's current performance is completely different from Xiao Ran's impression, I saw him turn his face to look at Xiao Ran deeply, and said with a smile: "He is a different person and my idol!" Thank you! ”
Xiao Ran smiled and patted Quentin on the shoulder, when Quentin came here out of enthusiasm for Hong Kong films, he was not familiar with anything, but it took a long time to get today's achievements. And because of Xiao Ran's foresight, many filmmakers are gradually able to speak fluent English, which allows filmmakers from different countries to communicate and cooperate well.
"A few years ago, I stood on the stage of Cannes......" Xiao Ran, a guy who had never prepared to give a speech, came to the microphone, only hesitated for a moment and quickly organized what he wanted to say: "At that time, I was thinking that film is a popular art that can be appreciated by both the elegant and the vulgar. It should not be a regional surname, regardless of language and skin color. As a popular art, it should be able to exist and circulate in any corner of the world, so that everyone can enjoy the charm of film! ”
The guests in the audience quietly listened to Xiao Ran's incendiary speech, and among them were the guys who thought Xiao Ran was putting on a show, and now they all had to admit that if they weren't for people who love movies, it would be impossible to say this.
And from the birth of the film to the present, various reasons have always led to the inability of this kind of communication? Why, is it between people or countries that there is no communication, I have been thinking about this question for a long time! Xiao Ran's expression gradually sank, and his tone became even heavier: "In fact, it is all human factors that restrict the circulation of art, and film is the charm of images, which is irresistible and understandable to everyone." ”
Sighing softly, Xiao Ran's expression gradually became happy: "So, I founded Phantom to strengthen our communication. And now that we are seeing this kind of exchange at Cannes, Quentin and the presence of filmmakers from other countries in Hong Kong, it is a very good phenomenon, at least we welcome it, because it is not only artistic, but also spiritual and cultural. Our whole life is always looking for collisions, in order to pursue the spark that bursts out in that moment, that is, the birth of a power, the power of the movie! ”
When it came to the last sentence, Xiao Ran shouted violently, which shocked the audience, and then there was loud applause. Everyone was moved by Xiao Ran's sincere speech, at least this is a powerful and allegorical performance.
Taking a deep breath, Xiao Ran's emotions rose to the extreme, and now he feels like he is standing on the top of the world: "I have always believed that film is the art of creation, and when I am free to create the works in my mind, I am creating the world!" Why not let's create this world together and make it a better place! ”
This last sentence is like a kind of emotional power, which makes everyone feel the urge to try it. In Xiao Ran's words, they perceived the endless love for movies, and it shocked their minds even more, movies are the art of creation, so they are all creating the world. The creative world, it's an exciting point of excitement, and they can't control their violent applause.
Xiao Ran's speech was more of a speech than a speech. As Wei Dongling said, Xiao Ran's speech ability is already very perfect, even if he goes to the United States to run for president, it is not a problem. And this speech not only touched the audience, but also the audience who enjoyed it through the telecast.
After this speech, filmmakers from all over the world, who had always been reluctant to come to Hong Kong, finally flocked to Hong Kong, and even Hollywood inevitably lost some talent. Wei Dongling often said: "If you want to defeat Xiao Ran, you must first defeat his wisdom." If you want to win Xiao Ran in eloquence, you must first block this guy's mouth! ”
That night, Jacob, the chairman of the French Cannes jury, gave an evaluation of this year's Cannes: "This is a night of Chinese films, although we always knew that this day would come, but we didn't expect it to be so fast!" ”
No one thought it could be so fast, even Xiao Ran never thought of it. However, he ignored one thing, when he appeared, Hong Kong films were originally in a period of rapid development. His appearance is a variable, stabilizing the market and changing everything that can damage Hong Kong films. Under such circumstances, it is inevitable that Hong Kong films will continue to maintain rapid development.
"A glorious night of Chinese movies or Hong Kong movies!" Many newspapers and magazines have taken Jacob's evaluation, and regarded this edition as the official diversification and racial complication of Hong Kong films.
It means that Hong Kong has gone through all these years of development, and after this night, through the display of strength and the success of Quentin, it has announced to the world that Hong Kong has become the second film center in the world that can attract filmmakers by attracting overseas talents, and has the strength to challenge Hollywood.
How can Hollywood continue to develop and become the supreme temple in the eyes of filmmakers around the world? Technology and technology, perfect film system and circulation, huge and abundant funds, and strong market and appeal.
Why should Hong Kong challenge Hollywood? In terms of technology and technology, after years of training and research, Phantom has spared no expense in cultivating various talents and research, and it will definitely be able to equal Hollywood. In terms of funding, the presence of the Phantom is proof enough.
Mention the market? Hong Kong films have a market all over the world, but Hollywood can't enter Hong Kong no matter what. When it comes to the perfection of the film system, Hong Kong cannot be said to be completely mature, but it has definitely taken shape. And, most importantly, in Hong Kong, prop masters and lighting designers, who were not taken seriously, can get the glory and attention they deserve. In Hong Kong, the director-centric system created by Xiao Ran is definitely going to attract Hollywood directors.
Perhaps the only thing that Hong Kong movies are not enough to challenge Hollywood is that it is money! However, this refers definitely not to the remuneration of the behind-the-scenes staff. In this regard, The Phantom has done an absolutely good job, leading the whole of Hong Kong to raise the pay of the behind-the-scenes staff to the price it deserves over the years, rather than polarizing the stars like Hollywood.
It is no exaggeration to say that top photographers such as Zhang Shuping and Huang Yongheng have been paid as much as 3 million. For example, the outside world has offered Xiao Ran as much as four million for a creative idea, and his director's salary has reached nearly 10 million, and no director has ever reached such a proportion in Hollywood. Income is of course another matter, income has to be calculated and shared, such as "The Legend of the Car God", just for sharing, Xiao Ran got 60 million.
Money does not refer to remuneration, but to the exchange rate between the US dollar and the Hong Kong dollar. Because of the large proportion of exchange rates, even though the price has actually reached the point where it has reached the same level as Hollywood, on the surface, it seems that the remuneration of 10 million US dollars in Hollywood is still greater than that of 20 million Hong Kong dollars in Hong Kong.
This is what makes Xiao Ran feel very distressed, in fact, it's not that no one is taken away by Hollywood after becoming famous. It's just that after getting over, those people can't do anything. The only fortunate thing is that Xiao Ran still has a director-centric system that can fight against this damn exchange rate and attract filmmakers to stay.
