As time went on, the awards at the 43rd Cannes Film Festival in France finally began. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The award was given to Best Short Film, and the winner was "Lunch". Chen Xiaotang doesn't attach much importance to this award, if he was willing to bring some experimental short films produced by the company, it would not be a problem to win the best short film award.

The Cannes Youth Award went to the play "Swan Lake Forbidden Zone", which was directed by a young Soviet director, and Soviet cinema has rarely appeared in the world since the 80s, and this award means the revival of Soviet cinema. And the domestic political events in the Soviet Union, which everyone is concerned about, have added a lot of popularity to this play.

However, Chen Xiaotang has a new idea about this, you know, the Soviet Union will completely disintegrate soon, and it seems that the opportunity for wealth has come again!

His heart was pounding, Chen Xiaotang was very suspicious of whether he was a money fan, why was he still so excited now?!

Without further ado, the awards continued, and more than half an hour after the award ceremony began, an important technical award was finally awarded.

The award was given to encourage and recognize directors or cinematographers who were innovative in their cinematography, and finally went to the Soviet director Valary. His screenwriting and directing of "Dead and Resurrected" was favored by many jurors.

See the USSR again!

Chen Xiaotang couldn't help but sigh a poem, the country is unfortunate that the poet is lucky, and he is endowed with vicissitudes of life.

It seems that the chaos of Soviet politics has given these Soviet filmmakers a good creative environment, and using films to reflect society and pinpoint the disadvantages of the times is the attitude and obligation that filmmakers should have.

This is the case with "Death and Resurrection", which uses the condensed historical fragment of the end of World War II to tell the story of the growth of the young boy Warlack. In order to support the family, his mother was willing to work as a prostitute's doorstep to solicit customers, so little Walak had to wander the streets, and later met a little girl while selling tea at the construction site, and the two gradually became good friends from fierce rivals in the tea business...... Valak became lively and retaliated by playing pranks, eventually causing him to be kicked out of the village and start wandering outside to join the gang......

The film presents the world of the little boy Warak with keen brushstrokes, and all the efforts he makes to survive. As well as the unbearable consequences derived from his actions, it can be said that it completely reflects the ideological confusion of the younger generation caused by the domestic political chaos in the contemporary Soviet Union.

In a sense, this drama is definitely well-deserved to win the Golden Camera Award.

This year's Cannes awards are quite numerous, and the next Grand Jury Prize was won by British director Ken Lodge's "The Deadly Files", a British guy who uses a very special storytelling technique to vividly interpret the core issues of lawyers and human rights.

With the Grand Jury Prize being taken away by the British. Then there's the bigger prize for Best Story.

At this time, Chen Xiaotang glanced back at Chinese mainland director Zhang Yimou who was not far away.

As mentioned earlier, this time Zhang Yimou brought his female star Gong Li to Cannes together, and the film "Ju Dou" directed and starred by them was shortlisted for the Best Story Award and is very hopeful of winning the award, so at this time, Lao Mouzi and his female star Gong Li are in a mood that can be imagined, and the two of them are so excited that even their hearts are about to jump out.

However, the opponent of the award against Lao Mouzi is not weak, it is the new film "Thorn of Death" directed by Japanese director Kohei Oguri.

The title "Thorn of Death" is taken from the biography of Glyndo in the Bible. Meaning sin.

The content of the story is about the tenth year of the married life of the writer Toshio and Miho, and the crisis is prominent. Toshio has a lover outside, and his wife hires someone to investigate and verify, which greatly stimulates his spirit. Threats to suicide. Out of guilt for his wife, Toshio resolutely leaves his lover and is determined to regain his old happy times with his wife and children. But it backfired, and Miho suffered from schizophrenia due to too much pressure. She no longer trusts her husband and is suspicious all the time. Pressing step by step, it is difficult for Toshio to hold on to his last personal space. Toshio knows that all of this is the result of his own planting, and he also knows that Miho's abnormal behavior is due to great pain and sorrow, so he persevers even if he can't bear it. The relationship between husband and wife is gradually coming to the edge in the mutual torment...

Compared with "Ju Dou" directed by Zhang Yimou, these two dramas are strikingly similar, both are criminal incidents caused by men and women cheating, but the difference is that the two choose different eras. Zhang Yimou is the Republic of China, and Kohei Oguri is modern. It is conceivable that the judges will probably resonate more with Kohei Oguri's story.

Chen Xiaotang's guess was right, and then, the guests on the stage looked at the audience and took out the post for a while, and then announced loudly: "The 43rd Cannes Film Festival."

The Best Story award winner is...... Kohei Oguri's "Thorn of Death"!"

As soon as these words came out, all the Japanese people at the scene immediately cheered like chicken blood, and it looked like they had won the World Cup.

In contrast, the team led by Zhang Yimou was like a mourner, clapping lifelessly to celebrate the victory of his peers. This is the reality, in front of the awards, there have always been people happy and worried.

At this moment, the Cannes major award for Best Tell was won by the Japanese film "Thorn of Death". Japanese director Kohei Oguri has also become the pride of the Japanese people, standing on the podium excitedly, can't stop hailing, bowing and thanking, that grateful appearance makes people feel a little funny.

But for Chen Xiaotang, this is not funny, you know, Japanese cinema began to rise in the 60s, and became one of the pillars of the Asian film industry in the 70s and 80s, and then began to fall silent; With the emergence of new directors such as Nagisa Oshima, Japanese films have won a lot of international awards, and even began to threaten the exhibition of Magic Shadow Entertainment. In Chen Xiaotang's view, Japanese films have transformed from the immersion stage to the recovery stage, which has to make him start to think about making more efforts in art films, so as not to be Xiao Riyue.

Although the award ceremony has its own joys and sorrows, the award presentation will continue.

The next award was Best Cinematography, and this time, Chen Xiaotang's "Havoc in Heaven" and Spielberg's "Jurassic Park" were both shortlisted. In the words of the award presenters standing on the stage: "They reshaped the film with high technology, and the cinematographer controlled the fit of the special effects and the lens with unparalleled and skilled lens awareness, so it can be said that this award is given to those creative photographers." So who will win the prize? Look at the big screen! ”

As the speakers of the award presenters landed, the five nominated films were displayed on the big screen, "Havoc in Heaven", "Jurassic Park", "White Hunter, Black Heart", "Good Morning Mumbai", and "The Last Tango in Paris".

The highlights of the five films scroll on the big screen in turn, accompanied by the commentary on the big screen. It is more vivid and interesting.

For example, "Havoc in the Heavenly Palace": the photographer used the technique of catching animals to depict a monkey vividly into the lens, with high special effects and unparalleled control ability, which made us doubt. Is this really a monkey, or a human?! Of course, there are also the majestic special effects shots inside, which are enough to open up a new century......

"Jurassic Park": With those dinosaurs running, the photographer's shooting without shaking tells us that these are all made with special effects. But what amazes us the most is how realistic these dinosaurs are. Let's wonder if we really have to be in the Jurassic?!

"The Last Tango in Paris"; Beautiful dance music with elegant tango, the use and mastery of black lenses, make Gothic art to the next level!

"Good Morning Mumbai": The photographer uses a realistic narrative style. Told us the story of Mumbai's birth in the morning.

"White Hunter, Black Heart": This is a mental film created with dark photography, and you may only be able to read her heart until the last second!

As the commentary on the big screen ended, the last guest began to take out the envelope. "All right, dear ladies and gentlemen. After we've seen so many great shots, let's see which photographer will be honored to win the Best of Technique award this time, well, are you all nervous? Oh, so do I! “

Yes, this guest is right, everyone is very nervous, whether it is the photographer Christopher Doyle next to Chen Xiaotang or the photographer Charlemagne Hofer next to Spielberg, the desire of these photographers for this technical award is beyond the imagination of many people.

The whole award ceremony was very quiet, quiet and scary, everyone was waiting for the award presenter to speak, but the guest was anxious and the eunuch was not in a hurry to smile, and then opened the letter in his hand and read: "I announce that this time it is Christopher Doyle who won the Best Photography Technology Award in Cannes, "Havoc in Heaven"!" “

Du Kefeng was excited, and almost jumped up, but fortunately Chen Xiaotang's gaze signaled to calm down. He didn't expect that he was just coming to Cannes to join in the fun, and he would be able to win the award.

He was excited, and Chen Xiaotang was also very excited.

After all, this "Havoc in Heaven" is his meticulous masterpiece, and it is definitely a great pleasure to be recognized in the art award category and receive such an honor.

In fact, the reason why the drama "Havoc in Heaven" won the award in the technical category of Cannes has to mention Chen Xiaotang's comprehensive promotion and exhibition of Chinese films in recent years.

For a long time, Chinese films have only enjoyed themselves in Asia, but with the increase in the pace of world film integration and Chen Xiaotang Magic Entertainment's strong promotion of Chinese films, many people have seen this force to be reckoned with.

As the main body of Chinese films, Hong Kong films play a very important role in it, it can be said that the rise of the Magic Shadow Empire has made the wind of Hong Kong films blow violently to the world, and it is impossible for Cannes to ignore Chinese films. Under such circumstances, Cannes has set up an office in Hong Kong many years earlier than in history to select the shortlisted films, and it is in this situation that "Havoc in Heaven" won this award. Sometimes some films are not enough, but good but a problem of the general environment.

In contrast, the reason why the blockbuster "Jurassic Park" directed by Hollywood director Spielberg will be PK by Magic Shadow's "Havoc in Heaven" is not because it is not good enough, but because it is produced in the United States and Hollywood, which is a typical commercial movie.

Business and art have always been polarized.

And art is often linked to technology.

In the eyes of many Cannes judges, the traces of commercialization of "Jurassic Park" are too heavy, in contrast, although the box office is unbelievably high, but the artistic and technical achievements are obvious "Havoc in Heaven" has become the best choice, of course, these judges also have a selfish intention, that is, in the general situation of the rise of Chinese films, the icing on the cake will become "Bole", and they will also be able to talk about it in the film industry in the future, such as, "That who, know no, Rafi Chen's "Havoc in Heaven" However, I recommend the one to be selected for the Technology Award category, otherwise it may not be selected! ”

In short, "Havoc in Heaven" won the photography technology awards, and there are many factors that make this Cannes even more thrilling and unexpected.

At this time, Christopher Doyle came to the stage to accept the award with great interest, received the trophy from the hands of the award presenters, and more or less had to say a few words, only to see our ghost photographer, take a deep breath, and then said to the audience on and off the stage: "Thank you very much to the Cannes jury for giving me such a big surprise, really, I never dared to believe that I would win the award, this is really amazing!" Well, what to say, I'm not prepared either, so thank you all again, thank you for your support and encouragement, and of course, spur! Finally, I would like to thank my big boss, Mr. Chen Xiaotang, who gave me the opportunity to win this award, thank you, big guy! Christopher Doyle kissed the trophy and held it high.

The applause below was thunderous, and everyone used warm applause to express their congratulations to the red-haired photographer who struggled in Hong Kong.

With the victory of "Havoc in Heaven", the battle of Cannes continues.

With the award for Best Style taken away by the Soviet film "Mother", the next is the best screenplay.

The best screenplay was won by "Big Nose Love Saint", which can be regarded as making up for the embarrassment of being PK down at the last art award, and won honor for the French people.

There's no way, the French have a good face, and it's too much to say if he even pounces in front of his own door.

As time went on, this went down to the Caméra d'Or Special Award, which is different from the previous Caméra d'Or awards, mainly to encourage contributions to film special effects, and the funny thing is that this award is actually tied for "Havoc in Heaven" and "Jurassic Park" at the same time.

No one would have thought that the two sides would tie in this award, Chen Xiaotang didn't expect it, and Spielberg didn't expect it, both of them showed a trace of surprise on their faces.

Then they looked at each other and smiled, which means that this game is a draw, and it is time to see the next one!

Tensions have intensified.

Everyone knows that this victory has escalated to the point of being out of control, on the surface, it is a competition between the world's Chinese-speaking circles and the largest directors in the English-speaking world, but in fact, people with a discerning eye know that this is a decisive battle between Magic Shadow Entertainment and MGM Hollywood's six major studios outside the box office, and the goal of this decisive battle is the trophy!

The six major film companies are also ashamed!

Magic Shadow Entertainment wants to write brilliance again!

Cannes is trembling!

The competition for awards is the final battlefield of the two major factions of world cinema.

Win or lose, it's just a thought!
