1322 closing rumors
“I think the Palme d'Or is definitely for 'Adele's life'’.”
“No, no, no, according to Spielberg's preference, it must be "The Ballad of Drunken Country". He is a director who is best at weaving dreams. How could he give up "The Ballad of Drunken Country"? This is simply the standard Palme d'Or choice in his mind！”
“Why do I think it's 'like father, like son'? Didn’t it mean that Kore-eda Hirokazu’s entire team is back? They have all arrived at the airport. Both Spielberg and Ang Lee are irresistible to family-themed works. Moreover, I think Naomi Kawase will also choose this one. The odds have immediately increased..”
“What about 'The Ballad' and 'Adele's Life'? what do they do？”
“In Adele's case, it might be the jury award; in LeVine's case, it's Best Actor.？”
“No, no, I don’t think so. I heard that the crew of ‘Nebraska’ has returned, and maybe they will win the Best Actor award; and then ‘The Balladeer’ will still get the Palme d’Or or the Grand Jury Prize..”
“Isn't it? Although Bruce Dern of Nebraska performed very well, compared with Renly, there is no comparison at all, okay? That would be so disappointing! God！”
“This is Cannes, and winning the Best Actor at Cannes is not as important as participating in the Palme d'Or film, okay? I think there is nothing wrong with "The Ballad of Drunken Country" winning the Palme d'Or. Renly doesn't need these awards to prove his excellence and excellence anyway. If the Coen brothers win the Palme d'Or in the end, I will feel happier. This also means, Renly is finally starring in a top award-winning film, and it's not just his acting that shines. This is different.！”
“Wait, why did I hear that the cast of 'Venus in Furs' is coming back, and it seems like they're going to win a grand prize! Roman Polanski also seems to be on his way back. If it weren't for the Palme d'Or, there would be no need for him to come back, right? In that case……”
After a rumor was divulged, everyone became uncontrollably noisy in an instant.——
“What? Roman? "Isn't it?" "If it's Roman, this is too exaggerated!" "Steven wouldn't agree, right?" Hasn’t the United States’ position towards Roman never changed? "Oh my god, Roman, this is too outrageous. The quality of the finished product this time is unsatisfactory." "What are these words?" Outrageous, simply too outrageous！”
Emily's eyes widened involuntarily, and she couldn't believe her ears, but before she could express her opinion, others were already chirping and sighing, and English speakers with various accents swarmed in to fight against the injustice. This kind of It felt so wonderful that Emily couldn't help but laugh happily.
Today is the last day of the 66th Cannes Film Festival. No movies have been released. Everyone is waiting for the closing ceremony and awards ceremony in the evening.！
The mystery of the annual Palme d'Or is about to be revealed, which is undoubtedly the most exciting and exciting moment; and, unlike the entire long awards season process of the Oscars, all award contexts are gradually emerging. In a major film festival, with a short period of twelve days and a jury system, the awarding of awards is often elusive and unpredictable, which makes it even more tense and exciting..
This year is no exception！
Emily arrived at the official media center early and joined the ranks of all media reporters. While receiving the list of winners of the Un Certain Regard unit and the FIPRESCI Film Critics Award, she was waiting for the closing ceremony in the evening. , while discussing the rumors about the award, the sense of anticipation, tension and excitement slowly brewed, slowly stimulating the burst of adrenaline, and the whole person couldn't help but start to get excited..
The reason why we chose the media center instead of the red carpet at the Film Palace is because on the one hand, the red carpet at the closing ceremony is the work site of the director of photography, which is crowded with stars and very lively; on the other hand, not all reporters at the award ceremony are there. Those who can enter are mainly journalists with white IDs and pink dotted IDs..
In addition, one of the most important reasons is news sharing. By staying in the media center, they can get news updates as soon as possible, and their sense of participation is completely different..
Just now, the media center was sharing gossip and rumors about the Palme d'Or. Suddenly, they were eavesdropping on the discussion in the jury's conference room. It was really exciting..
For laymen, it is bound to be extremely curious: if there is no preparation and publicity for the awards season, then how on earth do the so-called awards rumors come about?？
Before formally explaining, you need to first understand the situation at the Cannes Film Festival.
Over the past two decades, the awards for the main competition section of the Cannes Film Festival have continued to change and keep pace with the times..
1991In 2016, the jury led by Roman Polanski awarded the Palme d'Or, Best Director, and Best Actor to "Barton Fink" in one go, which aroused strong dissatisfaction among many people. , the Cannes Film Festival has given an official rule that each film can only win one award, unless it can be accompanied by an acting award..
For example, Palme d'Or plus Best Actor.
However, this rule was later violated three times.
1999In 2016, David Cronenberg awarded the Jury Prize, Best Actor, and Best Actress to Bruno-Dumont's "Humanity, Nature, and Color"”.
2001In 2017, Liv-Ullmann awarded the Jury Prize, Best Actor, and Best Actress to Michael Hanneke's "The Piano Teacher"”.
2003In 2016, Patrice-Chereau regardless of the Palme d'Or and Best Director award were given to Gus Van Sant's "Elephant", which triggered even more controversy. outrage and controversy.
If it was just a secret rule before, then after 2003, the Cannes Film Festival made it explicit：
Only one award can have a tied double yolk, and this award cannot be the Palme d'Or; a film can only win one award, unless it is the best screenplay or the jury award representing third place, which must be approved by the festival president After agreeing, you can add another actor award..
It is precisely because of this regulation that among the seven awards in the main competition unit, at least six films can win, and a maximum of eight films can win..
In other words, everything is determined！
So where did the rumors and rumors on the day of the closing ceremony come from?？
In fact, this is similar to the Berlin Film Festival.
On the last day of the film festival, all jury members will gather in a sea-view manor called Domergue near Cannes and be closed in isolation. All judges’ mobile phones and computers will be confiscated. During the discussion No contact with outsiders is allowed until the award is awarded..
Generally speaking, the judges start discussion at nine o'clock in the morning, and the results must be available before noon, so that there is enough time to call back the winners..
If the Palme d'Or winner cannot be present to receive the award, this is really not a positive sign for the film festival organizers. They still hope that the award-winning guests can accept the trophy on site, with only a few unexpected circumstances - for example, actors It was impossible to make it back from the North American continent on the other side of the Atlantic, so we had no choice but to invite other cast members to receive the trophy on our behalf..
2004In 2016, Yuya Yanagaku won the Best Actor at Cannes with "Nobody Knows" and became the youngest winner of this award in film history. However, unfortunately, Yuya Yanagaku, who was only twelve years old at the time, returned to Japan early. , in the end it was director Hirokazu Kore-eda who came on stage to accept the award. Although Kore-eda is still a direct descendant of Cannes, in the final analysis it was still a bit regretful and he was not able to hear Yuya Yanagaku's acceptance speech..
The Venice Film Festival has the most say in this regard.
In recent years, with the rise of the Toronto Film Festival, most North American film crews have chosen to promote in Toronto. Even if they come to Venice, they will immediately rush to Toronto for the second round of promotion..
When the jury selects the awards, many winners are unable to make it back in time, so that every year at the awards ceremony, there will be a shortage of award winners, especially in the Best Actor and Best Actress departments. The frequency of disasters is particularly obvious.
This is actually very hurtful for the organizers of the Venice Film Festival. Both the ratings and influence have suffered a huge blow..
Neither Cannes nor Berlin want this.
However, when notifying the crew, the organizing committee will not disclose the specific awards. Not only to avoid early spoilers, but also to avoid embarrassing situations - informing the other party in advance, "You only won the third place in the jury. Award", and then the other party has to travel a long way back to Cannes just for a consolation prize. This seems reluctant, and many big-name crews may not be able to let go..
Relevant rumors and rumors come from the process of "notification", which is also inevitable.
When an actor, director, or screenwriter receives a notification and learns that he or she can win an award at the Cannes Film Festival, no matter what award it is, in a happy mood, he or she may tell his agent or his producer. , maybe tell your public relations team, or even tell your relatives, friends and other crew members……
The party receiving the call may also call more people, or quickly start making arrangements for return flights and celebrations, such as airport staff, travel agency staff who booked flights, party planners, hotel front desk staff, etc. It is rare for them to be able to learn the news, and they may even inadvertently spill the beans in their excitement..
Therefore, the media reporters staying in Cannes used their vast network of contacts to start asking for information, and they were able to capture a general outline in just a few words..
Therefore, the media center is far more well-informed than the red carpet scene. This is the base camp for reporters. For most reporters, staying in the media center on the day of the closing ceremony is much more interesting..
