Halfway through the film festival, the media has already reported the new chairman Leskul and the artistic director of the film festival, Fumao.

Because the average quality of this year's films is low, the media and audiences are very dissatisfied.

"Aokigahara Tree Sea", which premiered on the 16th, was applauded by the audience in the theater, and the next day's "Screen" house catalogue gave the film the lowest score in the history of the main competition in Cannes, 0.6 points.

Jia Zhangke's "The Old Man of Mountains and Rivers" had two screening accidents in succession during the screening.

At the first media screening of "Assassin Nie Yinniang", the exit phenomenon was very serious, more than half of the screening, several rows of audiences had already left, and when the screening was over, there were only two or three percent of the audience left in the venue, and the scene was very unsightly.

After the screening, the French media commented: "The picture is beautiful, but at the same time it is also boring." ”

However, the scores of the two Chinese films on the field magazine are very good, "Tales of Mountains and Rivers" 2.8, "Assassin Nie Yinniang" 3.5 points, the highest in the audience, and the same as "Carol".

Domestic media have speculated that Chinese films will win awards this year - "The Old Man of Mountains and Rivers" and "Assassin Nie Yinniang" are considered to be the most likely Chinese films to win the Palme d'Or after "Farewell My Concubine". ”

At noon on the day of the closing ceremony, Zhang Yuanjun was interviewed by domestic media for the last time.

knew that Zhang Yuanjun could not reveal the inside story of the selection, but the reporter of the movie network still frantically tricked Zhang Yuanjun, hoping to get some selection news from his mouth in advance.

Zhang Yuanjun said: "It has not yet been decided that any film will win the award, and the jury will meet to discuss it after lunch. ”

But the reporter still has to ask: "Which Chinese film has I watched the most recently?" ”

It's okay to ask foreign judges this question, but asking Zhang Yuanjun is clearly to know his opinion on "The Old Man of Mountains and Rivers" and "Assassin Nie Yinniang".

But Zhang Yuanjun was not fooled: "The last Chinese film I watched was "Wolf Warrior" in China last month. ”

The interview ended and the camera was turned off. Zhang Yuanjun smiled with reporters: "Don't try to talk to me." ”

The reporter was not embarrassed, and grinned: "Work." Will Yifei come for the closing ceremony? ”

"She went back the day before yesterday, and there are still things to do in the country." After chatting a few idle days, Zhang Yuanjun and the reporter went to lunch separately.

After lunch, Zhang Yuanjun met with the other judges to begin the final film discussion and award distribution.

The jury and Pierre Lescourt did not quarrel particularly violently.

The Coen brothers did not show too stubbornness and impersonal in the distribution of the awards, and the jury finalized the awards half an hour after the red carpet began.

The judging panel, led by the Coen brothers, walked the red carpet. It is worth mentioning that Zhang Yuanjun, a famous actor in my country, is one of the judges this year, and I hope he can bring good luck to this year's Chinese-speaking legion. ”

In the Palais des Cinémaths.

Under the auspices of Lambert Wilson, the Palme d'Or for short films, the Palme d'Or and the Honorary Palme d'Or and the Caméra d'Or for the best debut film were awarded.

After these three awards, it is the turn of the main competition unit.

Lambert Wilson introduces the jury.

The first award, Best Screenplay.

"The award for Best Screenplay is," Ethan Cohen said, standing up, "for 'Chronic' by Michelle Frank." ”

Michelle Frank of the exploding head took the stage to accept the award.

The second award is Best Actress.

"There are two actors who won the Best Actress award," says Joel Cohen, "one is Rooney Mara of Todd Haynes' Carol, and the other is Emmanuel Beckett, who stars in McWin Le Best's My King." ”

Rare double yolk eggs of the actress.

The audience applauded and sent the two actresses to the stage.

The choice of the actress is more controversial in the background.

The opening film was directed by Beckett, and now the actress is awarded to Beckett, and the organizing committee is really not afraid of gossip.

The Jury Prize after the Actress Award went to "The Lobster", and the Best Actor after "The Lobster" went to the French Centro Linton.

It's time for the best director.

"Mr. President, who won the Best Director award tonight?"

Ethan Cohen picked up the microphone: "Hou Xiaoxian." ”

Hou Xiaoxian in the audience smiled and slowly walked onto the stage.

After the certificate of commendation, he first greeted the judges.

Hou Xiaoxian, who does not know French, opened with a "thank you" that he has learned, and then said in Chinese:

"I've been to Cannes seven times, and I've won an award before, and I've forgotten what it was. Winning the director award this time is a great encouragement to me, thank you very much. Because it's not that easy to make a movie, especially if you find more money. So thank you very much, thank you, and thank you to my crew, thank you. ”

The Grand Jury Prize was later won by the Hungarian film "Son of Saul".

"The winner of the Palme d'Or for Best Picture is," said Ethan Cohen, "Jacques Odea for "The Wandering Dipan". ”

The audience erupted in applause.

The Palme d'Or, the actor, and the actress all stayed in France.

My heart went to the Pacific Ocean, but no matter what, the festival was over.

After Zhang Yuanjun attended the dinner after the awards, he went back to rest.

In the afternoon of the next day, Zhang Yuanjun boarded a plane back to China in Paris.

Before the awards ceremony, the domestic media said that "The Old Man of Mountains and Rivers" and "Assassin Nie Yinniang" were strong contenders for the Palme d'Or.

After the ceremony, Zhang Yuanjun still couldn't reveal the jury's award process backstage, but no matter what, the crew of "Assassin Nie Yinniang" had to accept Zhang Yuanjun's love.

Therefore, two days after Zhang Yuanjun returned to China, he received an invitation to the award celebration banquet of "Assassin Nie Yinniang".

On the island of Bend.

Zhang Yuanjun refused.

It's not to avoid suspicion, it's that Zhang Yuanjun really can't leave.

He worked a bit more when he returned home.

"The Invisible Guest" is scheduled to start shooting in Beijing early next month, and it will be more than ten days away, and Zhang Yuanjun will be staring at the final preparations.

"Funeral Coffin" was officially renamed "Heart Labyrinth" and sent to the General Administration for review, Zhang Yuanjun felt that this time it was not a big problem, and was discussing the schedule with Xin Yukun and Wanda's distribution manager.

Huayi finally got Gu Changwei, "Redemption" was officially handed over to him, Zhang Yuanjun had already done more than half of the preparation work in the early stage, Gu Changwei estimated, if it was early, it would be able to start this winter, and after meeting Zhang Yuanjun, Gu Changwei took people out to see the scene.

Gu Changwei took over "Redemption" on the first day, and the actor of "The Invisible Guest" contacted Ma Sichun on the second day and invited her to play the role of the protagonist's wife in "The Invisible Guest", called Wu Lan.

Ma Sichun readily agreed, although it was a supporting role, but he could partner Zhang Yuanjun and Gong Li, and the supporting role would be a supporting role.

Besides, it doesn't matter what you play in this crew, it matters most when you get in.

Zhang Yuanjun naturally has no opinion, the role of Wu Lan is not very important, as long as someone plays it.

Zhang Yuanjun is preparing two dramas at the same time, and Liu Yifei's "Wang Xiaofang" is also advancing nervously.

She really went to Huang Xiaoming to play the leading role for her! (End of chapter)
