Kang Jianfei is not the first time to come to Cannes, after staying in the hotel this time, he also talked to Gilles, the director of the Cannes Film Festival? Jacob had a meal.

An international film festival must be all-encompassing in order to be international, and if the Cannes Film Festival only participates in some European and American films every year, it can only be regarded as a European and American film festival at best.

Giles? In the past 10 years, Jacob has been a strong advocate of bringing the Festival de Cannes to the world, discovering the best directors and films from Asia.

This time "Truman's World" participated in the Cannes Film Festival, is it Gilles? Jacob took the initiative to contact Kang Jianfei, and was directly shortlisted for the main competition unit. In Giles? In Jacob's view, Kang Jianfei is not only an excellent director in Asia, but "Truman's World" is also good enough and popular in Asia and the United States, which is conducive to raising the attention of the Cannes Film Festival outside Europe.

Speaking of this year's Cannes Film Festival, there is another Hong Kong film that participated and received high praise, this Hong Kong film is Wong Kar-wai's "The True Story of A Fei".

When walking the red carpet, Kang Jianfei met the crew of "The True Story of A Fei", Wong Kar-wai and Leslie Cheung, Liu Jialing, Liu Dehua, Zhang Manyu and others were there. Zhang Xueyou did not come with him because he was a secondary supporting actor and was preparing for a concert in Hong Kong.

"Hello, Mr. Kang!" Wong Kar-wai took the initiative to come over and shake hands with Kang Jianfei. Although he has become famous and become a famous director in the past two years, when he was mixed with Chen Xunqi, he also received a salary under Kang Jianfei.

"Hello, "The True Story of A Fei" was filmed well." Kang Jianfei praised. The tone is quite like the seniors affirming the juniors.

Kang Jianfei is not a polite remark, Wong Kar-wai's movies are really high-quality, but they are not suitable for watching with lovers in the cinema. Because the ink is too boring, and there are some places that need to be watched repeatedly and carefully pondered to understand. Such a movie is suitable for a person to watch a videotape and taste it slowly, and Wong Kar-wai's film and video tapes have always sold well.

Wong Kar-wai is just playing in Cannes for the first time this year, and he is quite flattered to be favored by the film critics here, saying: "I am very content to be shortlisted, and Mr. Kang's film is very promising to win the award this time." ”

Kang Jianfei smiled: "Then I wish we all won the award." ”

After talking to Wong Kar-wai. Kang Jianfei patted Zhang Guorong's shoulder next to him and said, "Rong Zai, you are dressed very handsome today, and you can compare those European beautiful boys." ”

Zhang Guorong pointed at Liang Jiahui. smiled shyly: "Ah Hui is the most popular actor today." ”

After the two finished greeting, Liu Jialing couldn't wait to stretch out her hand to greet: "Hello Mr. Kang, I'm Liu Jialing." ”

Kang Jianfei shook hands with her and smiled: "Miss Liu, is she interested in coming to Oriental Entertainment?" The company urgently needs a powerful actress like you to join. ”

Mr. Kang said with a smile, Oriental Entertainment Brokerage Company Hidden Dragon Crouching Tiger. I don't dare to compare with the red girls. Liu Jialing didn't worry about receiving films before. In addition, I was reluctant to share with the brokerage company, so I never looked for a brokerage company and broker. But being kidnapped last year really scared her, after filming "The True Story of A Fei", she didn't take a film at home for more than half a year, and she is recently considering whether to join the Oriental Entertainment Agency to seek asylum. Oriental Entertainment Agency's commission for second- and third-tier actors is too high, which is Liu Jialing's biggest concern.

Without waiting for Liu Jialing to say whether to join the company, Kang Jianfei was already shaking hands with Liu Dehua: "Andy, I heard that you opened a film company, congratulations." ”

Liu Dehua said in surprise: "My company has only been open for half a month. Mr. Kang is really well-informed. ”

Kang Jianfei said with a smile: "You are a star, of course celebrities are concerned about opening companies." ”

"In front of Mr. Kang. I don't dare to call myself a star. Liu Dehua said humbly.

There are only a few Hong Kong filmmakers who participated in Cannes this time, Zhang Manyu and Zhong Chuhong are chatting happily, Leung Jiahui and Zhang Guorong seem to have a good relationship, only Lan Jieying is standing alone.

Kang Jianfei chatted with everyone for a while, and the red carpet show finally began.

Zhang Guorong, Liu Jialing, Zhang Manyu, and Liu Dehua did not receive much attention when they walked the red carpet, and even reporters only symbolically took a photo and shifted their targets.

And when Leung Jiahui took Zhong Chuhong on the red carpet, the atmosphere suddenly became warm.

"Tony, Tony!"

"Beam, beam, beam!"

“……”

Some fans shouted Leung Ka-fai's English name, and some fans shouted his surname, which was quite an atmosphere of international stars. As for Zhong Chuhong, the big beauty next to Leung Jiahui, has become an inconspicuous foil, which makes Honggu, who is in the limelight in Hong Kong, feel weird.

I don't dare to say anything else, but in France, Leung Ka-fai is definitely the most popular Chinese star besides Bruce Lee.

Kang Jianfei's director's name is also widely spread in France, and he has accumulated some movie fans. But for most audiences, they are still more familiar with the stars who appear on the screen all year round. So when Kang Jianfei took Lan Jieying's hand and walked the red carpet, although the photojournalist clicked and pressed the shutter and kept busy, only some die-hard fans were cheering, and the shouts from the fan area were far less than Leung Jiahui.

As soon as he stepped on the red carpet, Kang Jianfei felt Lan Jieying's body trembling slightly, and he whispered: "Don't think too much, keep smiling, everything is with me." ”

Lan Jieying is the first time to participate in this kind of international film event, don't look at her usual personality, she is actually introverted and sensitive, and she is so nervous that she almost can't walk on this occasion.

Kang Jianfei waved his hand at the fans and whispered: "Stop in front and let the reporter take pictures." ”

Lan Jieying felt Kang Jianfei's hand force, and she immediately stopped knowingly, and faced the camera with a stiff smile. After repeating it several times in a row, Lan Jieying's vest after walking the red carpet was soaked with sweat, and she was dragging Kang Jian to fly, this man was her only support at the moment.

"It's okay, I'll get used to it after a few more experiences." Kang Jianfei smiled and comforted.

Lan Jieying felt that she was very embarrassed, she had walked the red carpet in Hong Kong more than once, and she was so nervous when she came to Cannes.

The crew of "Truman's World" gathered together, perhaps a special arrangement of the Organizing Committee of the Cannes Film Festival, and the crew of "The True Story of A Fei" from Hong Kong was next to each other.

After sitting together and waiting for a while, the award ceremony finally began.

started to present awards, but unfortunately, from beginning to end, I had never heard of the award-winning movie Kang Jianfei, and I didn't know the award-winning filmmaker Kang Jianfei.

The only thing that makes Kang Jianfei find interesting is that the judges of the Cannes Film Festival are naughty again this year. The Cannes Film Festival, which has always only had the Best Actor and Actress award, actually added an award for Best Supporting Actor this year for the first time, which is simply unguessable.

Leung Ka-fai is expected to become the best actor in Cannes this year, he has good acting skills in "Truman's World", and he is also very popular with film critics.

It's a pity that the actor's trophy was won by the American actor John? Tortolo took it, and he starred in the Coen brothers' "Patton Fink."

The Coen brothers are also super bulls on another plane, and their place. The female film "Blood Labyrinth" has been praised by many as "Hitchcock's resurrection", and this "Patton Fink" is their real international film. Since then, the two brothers have won various trophies from major European film festivals to Hollywood Oscars, and they can be seen on podiums all over the world.

Leung Ka-fai heard the award presenter read John? Tortolo's name shrank in his chair as if deflated. He has always hoped to win international awards, and this time "Truman's World" is very popular among film critics, so Leung Ka-fai has always had expectations for the throne of Cannes actor.

The higher the expectations, the greater the disappointment, and Leung Jiahui doesn't want to stay here anymore.

In the end, there are two remaining awards, the Grand Jury Prize and the Palme d'Or, which can be regarded as the Silver and Gold Awards for Best Film, respectively.

Since there were no nominations in advance, no one knew which film would have a chance to win the award, and the speculation was purely superfluous, all waiting for the award presenters to announce the answers.

Kang Jianfei sat calmly in his chair, "Truman's World" did not participate in the Cannes Film Festival in the original time and space, so he couldn't guess the result at all. But his instinct told him that the next trophy would probably go to "Truman's World".

"The winners of the special jury award are: Kang Jianfei, "Truman's World", from Hong Kong!"

The applause was thunderous, but Kang Jianfei was surprised by his intuition, it was so accurate!

Kang Jianfei and Liang Jiahui, Zhong Chuhong, and Lan Jieying hugged and celebrated, and were about to go on stage to receive the award, Wong Kar-wai, Zhang Guorong, and Liu Dehua also came to join in the fun, and shook hands one by one before letting him go.

"Thank you!" Kang Jianfei received the trophy from the award presenter and delivered an acceptance speech in fluent English, "I'm very happy, I've never won a lottery ticket, and this time I won the second prize in Cannes......"

Amid the laughter at the scene, Kang Jianfei continued: "Thank you Gilles? Mr. Jacob, I would also like to thank the entire jury, as well as all the crew of "Truman's World". Last but not least, I love Cannes, the beaches are beautiful and the bikini beauties on the beach are even more beautiful. ”

Kang Jianfei carried the trophy down, and as soon as she returned to her seat, the trophy was snatched away by Zhong Chuhong, she and Lan Jieying got together to study the unique trophy, and she didn't even care about the award later.

The first-class Palme d'Or was taken home by the Coen brothers' Patton Fink, a darkly humorous film that satirizes major Hollywood studios. To be honest, "Patton Fink" is not better than "Truman's World", but it is more mysterious and subtle, and it is difficult for ordinary people to fully understand it, and the judges who happen to be familiar with the film industry just happen to be able to understand it. In this way, the force has become higher, at least higher than the "Truman's World", which can be understood by the general public, coupled with the strong personal style of the Coen brothers, it is easy to understand that the jury awarded the Palme d'Or, the highest honor in Cannes, to "Barton Fink".
