Chapter 52: Actually, I'm an Actor

The film festival closed on the 19th, and on the first day, the Un Certain Regard unit took the lead in awarding awards.

Bi Gan has lived up to Sect Leader Huang's investment a little, and "The Last Night on Earth" has nothing to gain...

Don't think that the investment in literary films is very low!

"The Last Night on Earth" has a 60-minute long 3D shot...

The film was filmed for more than 4 months, and the strong production team - photography and art are Yao Hongyi and Wang Zhicheng, who have worked with Hou Xiaoxian.

The high salary of the actors, as well as the rental fee of 3D equipment, plus the post-production costs, in fact, the investment of 100 million is a conservative budget!

If such a movie wins an award, the copyright will be easier to sell, but unfortunately, if it does not win the award, the market performance will be a little better than "Roadside Picnic" at most, after all, Tang Wei has his own fans...

But in the face of a production budget of 100 million, it is a loss!

Leaving Cannes in a gloomy way, leaving only the producer Huang Sect Leader to be interviewed by the media, saying that he loves Chinese films. Just for the good of the movie, never care about temporary gains and losses...

Jia Zhangke didn't receive the invitation from the organizer, so he had to take his daughter-in-law back and forth...

Only "Truman's World" got the invitation...

The film festival is coming to an end, the noise is gradually stopping, and the group is coming and going, and the town is a lot empty.

The closing ceremony really became a movie show - you can't get in without an invitation from the organizer!

……

The organizer gave Xiaobai ten invitations, and the entire crew added one piece to only five people!

Zhang Ziyi, Zhang Shan, Lan Yingying, Qin Hailu, and of course Xiaobai.

With works to add, I feel confident on the red carpet!

No wonder Gong Li said, 'This is a temple of movies, and when you walk the red carpet, you should walk with a very sacred sense of mission, not casually.' ’

Sixty meters of red carpet, walked for a minute and a half, okay...

"Congratulations!"

"You're amazing!"

"Congratulations, Shiro!"

Entering the movie palace, Xiaobai received many people's blessings in advance, and the look of the golden palm seemed to belong to you.

He thanked him politely, a little floating, but he didn't float to the border either...

Life is full of surprises!

Maybe a consolation prize?

Zhang Shan was still a little worried, came over and patted his brother on the shoulder, and said, "... Don't laugh too soon, beware of empty plates! ”

"Roll the calf, guess it's all empty, we got the invitation, and there will definitely be a prize!"

"It doesn't have to be the Palme d'Or!"

"But it doesn't have to be!"

"I bet five cents, you can't get the Palme d'Or!"

"I also bet five dollars, I can't get it!"

“… Get lost! ”

Zhang Shan was too lazy to talk to him, and his mentality was obviously better than himself!

Anyway, Shanzi is still a little nervous...

Everyone sat for a while, but when it came to the scheduled time, it did not start, it was said that the jury had just set off from the hotel, and there was no choice but to postpone. While waiting, the atmosphere at the scene was too solemn, which made everyone's mood rise unconsciously.

"By the way, I heard Kate admires your acting skills!"

Zhang Ziyi suddenly spoke.

“… Walt? ”

"It's true, my friend here told me!"

Zhang Ziyi said very seriously.

Xiaobai looked at Qin Hailu, then at Zhang Shan, and suddenly smiled: "Do you want to award me an actor..."

“…”

It's really possible!

Xiaobai's acting skills in "Truman's World", a purely Western model, borrowed from Jim Carrey, but integrated his own understanding, not so crazy, very natural, more natural, in a word, free to retract, especially the last close-up.

“In case I don’t see you…… Good afternoon, good evening, and good night! ”

As a former 'actor', after an elegant curtain call, he turned and walked through the small dark door that led to the outside world...

That's right, Zhang PD speaks in English, and Truman's conversation with her is also in English...

It's a pleasure to watch!

Especially the line: "You never had a camera in my head!" ”

Amazing!

However, the house magazine did not mention his performance, but was amazed by Liu Yaren, and bluntly said that Liu Yaren is expected to join the actor, and then, "Burning" rolled back to South Korea...

“… After taking the actor, remember to invite dinner! ”

Zhang Shan seemed to have thought of something, his face was a little complicated, but he recovered quickly and patted Xiaobai's shoulder hard...

Bastard, really hard!

“… It's still early..."

Xiaobai subconsciously turned his head to see the crew of "Kennel Horror", which won the award in the original time and space, but did not reach the scene...

……

it!

Lao Tzu is going to win the actor!

I'm not ready yet...

“… Big brother, don't get so excited, this is not allowed! ”

Qin Hailu couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"I... I'm not excited..."

"I'm not excited, why are your hands shaking?"

"I... Parkinson's Omen! ”

was also a stumbling offense, and was scolded by Qin Hailu, Xiaobai's originally unstable heart suddenly calmed down a lot.

Then, he thought that if he won the actor, wouldn't it mean that "Truman's World" would not be able to win the Palme d'Or?

Which is more important, the Palme d'Or or the actor?

While thinking about it, the jury finally arrived and the award ceremony officially began.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we have finally had this wonderful night, and I am sure that you are in the same mood as I am, so much anticipation, because we can get a good night's sleep tomorrow... We are tired for the movie, and we are happy for the movie! ”

After a brief speech by the host, a local French star took the stage and presented the first award: the Caméra d'Or.

The winner of the award was Belgian director Lucas de Hoult for "The Girl".

After delivering the acceptance speech, without pause, I directly opened the second Best Screenplay Award...

At the same time, the Oscars Gala is a few hours old, and the Shanghai Film Festival also organizes a lot of small programs every year to show the excellent culture of the country, but the three major film festivals in Europe are more shabby than the other in this regard - but the advantage is that there are fewer flowers, and their awards are very clean and neat.

Basically, it's half an hour to an hour to end the battle!

The third is the Jury Prize, which is equivalent to the Outstanding Film Award and belongs to the non-permanent category. It is different from the Grand Jury Prize, which is a special recognition won by a judge who was very fond of the film. The latter is equivalent to "second place", and the honor is one level higher.

Xiaobai thought that if "Truman's World" hadn't won the Palme d'Or, he might have been able to win a jury prize...

It's a pity that from the mouth of Andrei Sagintsev it is ""Capernaum, Nadi Labaki!" ”

At this point, the ceremony is halfway done, and the rest is all the main event.

Best Actress!

Samar Yeslyamova, the actress from Kazakhstan, won the Cannes actress!

This crying silently, thanked a bunch of people in very broken English, and then stepped down...

By the way, the producers of "Little One" are Wang Luna, Zhu Li, Chinese, in a sense, this is actually a Chinese movie...

When she stepped down, the handsome Zhang Zhen walked out of the side curtain, causing many people to exclaim.

The moment Xiaobai saw Zhang Zhen, his brain was buzzing...

"There are always some performances that are impressive, and in the past six months, we have had the privilege of meeting the best actors in the world, and it is difficult to pick the best among them, but when the results appear, we take it for granted!"

Then he neatly opened the envelope: "Best Actor, Bai Xiaofei, "The Truman Sho"! ”
