The awards of the three major European film festivals are very strange, or people who don't know much about them will find it strange when they learn about their awards.

Whether it is the Oscar, or the domestic Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers and other awards, it is divided into various awards, such as Best Director, Best Actor and Actress, Best Screenplay, Best Cinematography, Best Composition, etc., and the awards awarded are related to all the filmmakers in front of and behind the scenes.

The Festival de Cannes, on the other hand, is divided into two sections, one for the main competition and one for the other sections.

The main awards include the Palme d'Or for Best Film, the Grand Jury Prize, Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Actor or Actress, and the Special Jury Prize, which is an encouragement.

There are more awards in other units, but they are all closely related to films, basically most of the awards are available, but only in the film soundtrack, Cannes does not have a special award, only the technical award.

This so-called technology award can be described as a trash can, whether it is music, movie special effects, or even shooting skills, you can put it in.

From an English point of view, the "Technology Award" can also be translated as "encouragement", so this "Award" is a trash can, but anything that has anything to do with the movie, it can be used.

Li Yange didn't know much about the award system in Cannes at first, but when he and Ryuichi Sakamoto and David Byrne jointly nominated for this so-called "Technology Award", the questions brought by Ning Ying, after professional understanding, only knew that this award was the "Encouragement Award"!

In a burst of lively applause, director and producer Jeremy Thomas Bertolucci received the "Special Jury Award" from the stage, and also announced the official end of the award presentation of the main unit.

This will be followed by awards for other units.

As soon as the host came up, he introduced the other units, after the outstanding filmmakers from all over the world, two European actors who Li Yange did not know appeared on the stage, and they chatted casually about the recent interesting things about their time in Cannes, and then took out the envelope prepared earlier, one of them opened the envelope and glanced at it, leaned in front of the microphone and said: "Next is the special award issued by the jury, the Education Contribution Award!" Let's give a round of applause to "The Child King" from China and its director Chen! ”

All right!

This is another major feature of Cannes, which often adds an award to a certain film on an ad hoc basis.

It's like this "Education Contribution Award" is not available in the regular Cannes awards, but sometimes it will pop up out of nowhere and scare everyone.

Chen Kaige couldn't understand English, but after the translator brought by him said that they had won the award, he got up from the stool excitedly and hugged Wang Tianming and the starring Xie Yuan beside him.

Only then did he take an excited step in the thunderous applause of the audience, strode to the stage, happily took the trophy, looked at the crew members at dozens of tables under the stage with excitement and excitement, took a deep breath, and said sincerely: "Thank you very much to the jury for awarding this educational contribution award to our ......"

Soon, Chen Kaige walked off the stage after finishing his speech, looking at his figure walking over, Li Yange got up to stop him, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Director Chen." ”

"Thank you!"

Chen Kaige saw that it was Li Yange, hugged him warmly, and said excitedly: "Yange, I won the award!" Cannes Awards! ”

"Well, you have won the award, congratulations to Director Chen!"

Seeing the other party's excited appearance, Li Yange understood his mood at the moment, patted his shoulder and said, "Okay, Director Chen, there are so many foreigners here, control your emotions, when the evening is over, I will set up a table in the hotel to celebrate your award!" ”

"No, no, I'll come in the evening, I'll please!" After speaking, Chen Kaige clenched his fists in one hand and held the trophy in the other, and walked back to the table where he was like returning home, and enthusiastically communicated with the crew members who came with him.

Looking at Director Chen, who seemed to be crazy, Li Yange was really embarrassed to say that this "Education Contribution Award" has a lot of water, but even if it is very watery, it is indeed a trophy issued by Cannes.

After a while, with the awarding of dispensable awards such as the "Short Film Award" and the "International Film Critics Award" in other units, it was soon the turn of the "trash can", oh no, the "Technology Award".

When the award presenters took the stage, the scene was noisy.

Pierre Boulevez!

He is a famous French composer, former conductor of the BBC Symphony Orchestra in the United Kingdom, music director of the New York Philharmonic, and now the director of the Institute of Acoustics/Music Collaboration in Paris, and is also known as the father of contemporary electronic music in France.

A well-deserved figure of the French living master!

His appearance caused many people at the scene to talk in low voices.

"Hello everyone!"

Pierre Boulez is worthy of being known as a French contemporary master musician, as soon as he came on stage, he was full of aura, first chatted with the guests casually, and then said: "I think many people are curious, Cannes is a film award, how can I be invited to such a musician to come?" Actually, this year's technology award is also related to music! ”

"Okay, without further ado, let's see the lucky ones this time!"

Pierre Boulez opened the envelope in his hand, read it carefully, and then said with satisfaction: "The winner of the 41st Cannes Technology Award is: "The Last Emperor"! Congratulations to Lee, version of Ryuichi, David Byrne! ”

“YES！ YES！ I knew I was going to win! David Byrne was so excited that he clenched his fists and sprang up from the stool.

Ryuichi Sakamoto was also excited, don't look at this as just a "technical award" for other units, the gold content is completely inferior to the main unit, but it is still the same sentence, this is an award issued by Cannes, and it is currently one of the largest film festival awards in the world.

Whether you get the main unit or other units, it's worth showing off!

"Yan Ge, have you won the award?"

Since going abroad several times with Li Yange, Cheng Shaojun has also begun to make up for English, although I am afraid that it is not even English level 4 now, but when she heard the unique "Li" from the mouth of the award presenter on the stage, plus the cheers of David Byrne and Ryuichi Sakamoto in the same crew, she naturally knew that Li Yange won the award again!

"Well, it's awarded!" Li Yange was very surprised in his heart, he really didn't expect this technical award to really fall on his head, you must know that at the previous Cannes Film Festival, there were very few awards for film composition.

Ning Ying said eagerly: "Yan Ge, why are you still stunned?" Don't hurry up to the stage to receive the award! ”

"Oooh!"

Li Yange came back to his senses, stood up quickly, followed closely behind Ryuichi Sakamoto and David Byrne, and strode towards the stage.
