1323 Difficult to conclude
Now, with less than three hours left until the closing ceremony and awards ceremony, there are more and more rumors about the Palme d'Or and the recall of the crew. Almost every once in a while, there will be updates on the latest news, and then the rumors about the award will come again. Emily couldn't help but become excited due to the earth-shaking changes. The excitement and excitement of participating in it could not be suppressed at all..
It’s as if I am a member of the jury.
Imagine that the movie you support or the work you hate finally wins an award. The reality of having paid close attention and participated for twelve days completely burst out. You are uneasy, jumping up and down, and restless. You are just assuming it in your mind. My mouth started to get dry during the award ceremony..
The reason why the annual Oscars ceremony attracts so much attention is indispensable to the preparation and preparation during the awards season. It increases everyone's sense of participation bit by bit, and seems to be accompanied by those popular works step by step towards the Oscars. The award-winning stage is average.
The same is true for the current Cannes Film Festival. After twelve days of accumulation and brewing, those rumors and gossip made everyone excited, as if they had personally experienced the entire process of the release of the work, word-of-mouth feedback, award selection, and success..
This is also the most exciting and interesting part of the final day of the film festival every year. No one wants to miss it.
This is the third time Emily has participated in the Cannes Film Festival, but it is the first time she has truly participated in the "selection" process..
Rumors on the day of the closing ceremony can basically be divided into two categories：
One is the crew that has left Cannes but arrived at the airport again. This is almost certain. Otherwise, who would be willing to go to all the trouble to make a special trip back to Cannes just to watch an awards ceremony that lasts less than an hour? Therefore, today, a group of reporters made a special trip to wait at Cannes International Airport to capture the reappearance of the crew immediately. This is basically a real deal..
Such was the case with the cast of "Transcendence" at the Berlin Film Festival early last year, when Renly was called back on his way to the airport and ultimately won the Silver Bear for Best Actor..
There is also a crew that has never left Cannes. They may have chosen to stay on the Côte d'Azur for vacation and enjoy the comfort and leisure of the blue sky and sea; or they may have just released their film in the last three days of the festival and did not have time to leave. , so I simply stayed in Cannes to see if I could get an invitation to attend the awards ceremony..
For reporters, the former is accurately judged, and the latter is unknown. But there are too many possibilities for the specific divisions of the seven trophies, and they can only guess..
So far, the media center is still anxiously waiting for the recall list. There are too many uncertain rumors. Even "Adele's Life" and "Drunken Country Folk", which have created the highest scores in the official program, cannot be confirmed. 100 points for winning the award. Only after the list of cast members attending the red carpet was released, could we make a simple prediction..
The crew currently staying in Cannes includes "The Folk Song of Drunken Country", but no one can tell the difference at all..
Because Renly and the Coen brothers are all real movie lovers, they can be seen frequently in the main competition, Un Certain Regard, Directors’ Fortnight, etc., and they eagerly participate in discussions. , as if they were not contestants at the film festival, but participants.
“In addition to "The Ballad of Drunken Country", the works premiered in the last three days also include the crews of "Hurley", "Beauty", "The Beautiful City", etc.; in addition, "Victoria in Furs", which just left Cannes yesterday, The crew of "Nas" are also among the rumors. In fact, Roman Polanski has not gone far at all. He is on vacation on the Côte d'Azur. It only takes half an hour or an hour to get to Cannes..
The disturbing rumors just can’t stop.
As time went on, the news gradually began to become clearer——
“‘'Adele's Life', 'Drunken Country Ballad', 'The Past', 'Like Father, Like Son', 'Nebraska', 'Destined to Be'..." Emily began to count with her fingers. Now There are six works in total, which have already met the minimum baseline, but they haven’t finished counting yet. “Wait a minute, what other crews are there?”？”
Mark, who was standing next to him, added, "'She has a beautiful face.’.”
Before he finished speaking, other people around him also added, "'Hurley'! 'The Beautiful City'! 'Venus in Furs'’！”
“No, no, there are already ten of them in this one breath! "Emily shook her head repeatedly. There were at least six movies and at most eight movies. Now it's far beyond the standard..
“There is no way, this time the last few works left in Cannes all have certain possibilities." A reporter just walked into the media center, spread his hands, and looked helpless, "Do you know? The latest news I just heard is that 'Beautiful City' is going to win the award.”
“What? "Everyone exclaimed in unison.
“"The Beautiful City" is the latest work of Italian director Paolo Sorrentino. Five years ago, "Big Star" won the Jury Prize at Cannes, and two years ago, "Avenging My Father" was also in the spotlight. It was well received in the competition; this time when he came to Cannes, his new work also attracted much attention..
After it was released at the final stage of the film festival, it encountered completely different reviews. The British and American media were enthusiastic about it, the European media was lukewarm, and the Asian media gave negative reviews. The official screening score was also very mediocre, and it failed to stand out. Almost all Everyone thinks that this work will be eliminated early, and its chances at the awards ceremony should be slim..
Now, suddenly there is a rumor that "Beautiful City" is going to win an award, and a big one at that? this……
“God, I can't understand it now. What on earth is happening? Is it true that 'Drunk Folk Folk' is going to be cannon fodder? Only one winner in the end? "Emily felt her heart start to beat wildly, and her eyes were full of disbelief. Even after she said these words, she still couldn't believe that all of this was really happening..
Mark's mouth was also dry, and his head was a little unable to function. "Why do I have an ominous feeling? Maybe I will lose the best actor, and be completely ignored."？”
Sensing Emily's extremely surprised expression, Mark quickly explained, "Look, Toni Servillo from 'Beautiful City', Bruce Dern from 'Nebraska', Masaharu Fukuyama of 'Like Father, Like Son', Tahar-Rahim of 'The Past', Jiang Wu of 'Destined', and Matthew A of 'Venus in Furs' Mathieu-Amalric. All these actors are contenders for the Best Actor Award..”
“But Renly's performance this time is almost dominant. The other actors are all excellent, but no one can compare with Renly. He can be said to be unique! Such a performance can't win the best actor, this is really incredible! "Emily opened her mouth wide, her expression clearly filled with incredible shock and surprise..
“However, "The Ballad of Drunken Country" has too many advantages this time, including the director and script. All of them are likely to win awards, and the overall strength is even more outstanding. In the end, the jury awarded them a collective award, so the best actor will definitely win. leave.”
“‘The same is true for Adele's Life. The two actresses can definitely tie for Best Actress, and the script is also worthy of winning. I now feel that these two works may not be able to win the Palme d'Or. The film has the highest score, but it has become Burden. Anyway, this is not the first time this has happened in Cannes. We are all used to it, right?？”
“God, are 'Venus in Furs' or 'Place of Beauty' really going to win the Palme d'Or?？”
“Wait, wait, don’t be so anxious! There are now ten crews staying in Cannes, but we all know that only eight works can win awards at most, and the other two crews just didn't have time to leave. Therefore, the accuracy of our current guesses must be questioned. .Maybe the Palme d’Or was born between Adele and LeVine？”
“The problem is, out of the ten crew members, two are bound to become cannon fodder. So... what if it is Adele or LeVine? Or worse, these two works, which have achieved the highest scores in the history of the show, are both cannon fodder.……”
“……No way? Spielberg is not Quentin, he probably can’t……”
The discussion was so lively that it was impossible to distinguish the specific source of the voice, but after the last words were spoken, everyone fell silent, leaving only a series of ellipses and looking at each other..
They are guessing here, but they are not judges after all. In the three major European film festivals, there are too many uncertainties in award selection..
Emily swallowed. Now she finally experienced the thrilling roller coaster experience, because she owns her beloved work, and because the movie truly awakens the passion in her body. This is the real film festival. , stimulating the charm of the movie and the enthusiasm of fans to the extreme！
Unprecedentedly, Emily sincerely prayed that "Drunken Country Ballad" would win the award！
At first she was looking forward to the Palme d'Or, but now she no longer had the mind to think about it. The possibility of being cannon fodder made her muscles tense up, so much so that her palms began to sweat. It felt so exciting..
“Which one will you choose? "Mark seemed to notice Emily's nervousness and showed a jerky and awkward smile, inadvertently revealing his own nervousness..
Emily did not hesitate at all, "Although I like 'Like Father, Like Son' and 'Adele's Life' very much,... I will still choose 'The Ballad of Drunken Country'. This is my best work so far this year. First place. What about you?？”
“‘"The Ballad of Drunken Country"." Mark also gave his answer simply and neatly, "Moreover, I hope that the Palme d'Or can win the best actor award more than The Young Master. Because I always believe that The Young Master and the whole movie have been integrated into each other. They have made each other successful, especially their live performance skills are simply perfect! The Palme d'Or, this is the best award for a young master. He deserves a higher reward than the best actor..”
Emily nodded slightly in agreement, "I don't know what the judges on the jury think. What do you think Steven will choose?"？”
Mark shrugged and showed a helpless smile.——
He is not Steven Spielberg, so naturally he doesn’t know which one to choose..
