The Cannes Film Festival has two major traditions: one is the enthusiasm of French productions, like palm trees on the Mediterranean Sea and bikinis on golden beaches; The second is the maverick of mixed reviews, with some accusing it of commercial hype gimmicks that obscures the brilliance of art, and some summarizing it as the jumping aesthetic work of jury members who have different styles every year. www.biquge.info*/

If the eighty-year-old Oscar is an old man, then the sixty-two-year-old Cannes is definitely a menopausal housewife, and it is more difficult to understand her temperament than to ascend to the sky.

Those media that can accurately predict the Oscars have repeatedly failed at the previous Cannes Film Festival, and it is very rare for the best director, best screenwriter, actor, and actress to be blindfolded, and the usual deliberate calculations are inevitably 'all four empty', not to mention the 'Palme d'Or' and 'Jury Prize'.

In the previous Cannes Film Festival, there are countless films that have been unanimously favored but have not received anything.

On the closing day of the festival, countless fans and media reporters gathered in front of the festival palace again, but compared to the grand opening ceremony, the red carpet of the closing ceremony of the Cannes Film Festival was much smaller, and everyone's eyes were also focused on the subsequent awards ceremony.

"I think whether or not you can win the award is secondary."

In the interview area, Duke faced the reporter's interview and said calmly, "As long as the audience can like "Fury Road", I am very satisfied." ”

He didn't want to say anything more, then left the interview area and walked towards the Festival Palace, and after going up the big steps, he saw a familiar figure standing not far in front of him, and couldn't help but think of Harvey? Weinstein brought up the news and strode over.

Natalie? Portman had just exchanged a few words of greeting, and out of the corner of her eye, she caught the tall figure behind the side, but she didn't walk away, intending to face the other person directly.

She doesn't fear anyone. Won't let this man be his nightmare, Duke? Rosenberg does have a great reputation, and he has always been at the top of the Hollywood power list. But he couldn't cover the sky with one hand.

Actually, Natalie? Portman knows it all too well. With the exception of Warner Bros. and Twentieth Century Fox, Duke has little influence over other studios, with which she doesn't work much in the first place, and because he has a lot of influence in Hollywood, she doesn't necessarily need to hide from her.

She was very popular in the Jewish clubs of Hollywood, especially the old men, who appreciated what she was doing. And these people don't treat Duke, who is also Jewish, very well? Rosenberg.

It's an unusually complex circle, and the scale of the industries involved is very large. Rosenberg also has a large number of enemies and opponents in the circle, and to say that someone can rule such a circle is just a joke.

So, Natalie? Portman didn't think he needed to be afraid of Duke, and that he didn't want to work with him and the two major companies he could influence.

Anyway, there wasn't much of a partnership.

"Hi, Nat." Duke stood on Natalie? Opposite Portman.

Natalie? Portman smiled slightly, "Hi, Duke. ”

If you only look at the appearance of two people. It's just a very good friend.

Duke knew what the woman on the other side had done, but he also knew very well that there was nothing he could do with her in a short period of time.

He wasn't brain-dead enough to think he could control the fate of others. It's a billion-dollar industry, and as long as there's enough profit to be made, what do the studios care about what he thinks?

What's more, Natalie? Portman was far more popular with the Jewish forces in Hollywood.

Looking at Duke, Natalie? Portman's smile grew lighter and lighter, and in Duke's body, she could see some of her own qualities, as he had said in the past, they were the same kind of people.

"You know what. There's something I've never thought about yet...... Nat," Duke said slowly. "I didn't think we'd be standing here like this."

"Actually, you'd think of it." Natalie? Portman looked at him and said seriously. "I gave what was most precious to me and didn't get what I deserved in return."

Duke tilted his head to look at her, "Need I say I'm sorry, dear?" ”

Natalie shook her head, "I just hope that from now on, we never have anything to do with each other again." ”

After saying this, Natalie regretted it, isn't this a fear of the other party in disguise?

With her hands slowly clenched into fists, she gave Duke a deep look, nothing visible on his calm face, and then she turned around and prepared to leave.

"Nat!"

Just as Natalie turned around, Duke called out to her, "I'm so grateful for what you've done this time. ”

He was never a generous rotten good guy.

Natalie turned her head and glanced at Duke again, her hard-lined face still calm, as if even if the sky above her collapsed, the other person's expression would not change.

But she knew they were the same kind of people, and I was afraid that this would not end there.

Natalie? Portman didn't hesitate any longer, strode out of here, and walked into the Palace of Festivals. Does Rosenberg exist in Hollywood, Walt Disney, David? Ellison and such powerful enemies as the management of the art world, as well as companies such as Paramount Pictures, Universal Pictures, Sony Columbia, etc., which he cannot influence, she has a wide enough path to go in the future, and she will definitely become the most representative female star in Hollywood.

And she has been preparing for a film, which is the role of a schizophrenic, the great love of the academy, just like her mother said, as long as the time is right, what belongs to her will eventually fall on her head.

Otherwise, why did she enter Harvard, after graduating from Harvard, she temporarily gave up her acting career and went to Jerusalem for further study, not to win the favor of the old men in the North American Jewish circle.

And she got the results she wanted.

Although her career is not going well at the moment, and she regrets and resents a very good character by rubbing shoulders with an exceptionally good role, but Hollywood's excellent director is not just Duke? Rosenberg one!

Still, Natalie? Portman then regretted it even more.

She participated in the voting for the various awards, but did not know the final result, so when the stage of Lumière Hall, Charlize ? Theron had a big smile on her face when she won the best actress voice, and her left hand, hidden underneath, had crumpled the corners of her skirt.

That jealous gaze followed Charlize? Theron's tall back turned backstage and took it back, Natalie let out a sigh, so far, she has always been known for her acting skills, but she has not won any heavyweight acting awards, and the vase from South Africa, after winning the Oscar, actually won the Cannes actress.

It's a big irony......

But on second thought, Natalie? Portman's mouth was back with an inexplicable smile.

The three major European film festivals have always shared the cake, and now that "Fury Road" has taken the best actress piece, the possibility of winning the Palme d'Or has become even smaller.

Despite from Isabel? According to Huppert's attitude, "Fury Road" has little chance of winning the Palme d'Or, but after the vote, she doesn't know what the result will be, and whether she will follow her wishes in the end.

"I'm sorry......"

Back in your seat, Charlize? Theron deliberately gave Duke an apologetic smile, "It's less likely that you'll get the Palme d'Or." ”

Duke shrugged, "Not necessarily, 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.

For example, this year's Special Jury Award was unexpectedly born with a double yolk egg, which was shared by the British-Dutch co-production film "Fish Tank" and South Korean director Park Chan-wook's "Bat".

In fact, this is not strange and special, the history of the Cannes Film Festival has not produced "double yolk eggs", especially the one when the king of sunglasses served as the chairman of the jury, and even produced 11 actors and actresses in one go, which has since become the laughing stock of the film industry.

If the double yolk egg is not too bizarre, then Philippine director Brillant? Mandoza's unexpected win for Best Director was beyond everyone's imagination.

Brillant? Mandoza is actually a frequent visitor to the Cannes Film Festival, he was shortlisted for the competition unit last year with a "customer service handsome guy", and this year he was also shortlisted for the competition unit, but the new film "Genaeri" received a very poor response and is recognized as a bad film in the competition unit of this film festival.

When the Filipino director took the stage to accept the award, there was a burst of boos from the media booth, which made Brillant? Mandoza is not embarrassed.

The awards ceremony is not as cumbersome and entertaining as the Oscars, and the pace is relatively fast, and soon only the last suspense is left - the ownership of the Palme d'Or.

Isabel? Huppert and French director Luc? Besson stood on the stage together.

Natalie? Portman looked at Isabel first? Huppert, turned his head to look at Duke's location, and finally his eyes fell on Michael, the director of "The White Ribbon"? In Haneke's body, she is seventy percent sure that the Palme d'Or will fall on the head of the Austrian director.

The Palme d'Or is undoubtedly the most important award at the Cannes Film Festival.

On stage, Isabel? Huppert didn't have any nonsense, looked ahead, and announced directly, "The film that won the Palme d'Or is ...... "Fury Road"! ”

The applause rang out instantly, and it was rare that there was no sound of heckling at the award ceremony, which was full of boos.

"Congratulations!"

Charlize? Theron hugged Duke tightly, and Duke gently patted her on the back and turned to James? Franco hugs, and the crew is left with the three of them, Tom? Cruise went to the crew of "Mission Impossible 4" after the opening.

Natalie? Portman looked at Duke as he strode towards the stage, and the disappointment in her eyes could not be hidden, but she was a calm person after all, and she quickly forced herself to accept this reality.

Duke walked onto the stage and spoke first with Isabel? Huppert and Luc? Besson hugged lightly and took the Palme d'Or from the latter's hand.

Undoubtedly, "Fury Road", which won two awards, became the biggest winner of this Cannes Film Festival. (To be continued.) )
