1325 Eight major crews
The star-studded red carpet finally kicks off.
Of course, even Cannes, the most popular among the three major European film festivals, cannot compete with the Golden Globes and Oscars. From the guest lineup to the live broadcast team to the onlookers, everything lags behind by more than one level..
But what is different is that at the closing ceremonies of the three major European film festivals, this is the real "award ceremony". Every crew and team who walks on the red carpet can be sure to win an award.——
The premiere ended at the last moment, and the crew and crew were stranded in Cannes and appeared on the red carpet without awards. This situation has also happened before. Anyway, they all stayed in Cannes to attend the closing ceremony to increase exposure and discussion, thereby attracting the market. It’s not a bad idea to get the team’s attention..
But after all, it is still a minority.
Whenever a crew appears, the media center begins to bustle with discussions about what awards they may win and what impact it will have on the direction of the Palme d'Or; but prediction is not an easy task..
In previous years, the three individual awards of Best Actor, Best Actress, and Best Screenplay could more or less capture some clues; this year is an exception..
The actress has basically locked in two works: "The Past" and "The Life of Adele", and it depends on whether the latter can hit the Palme d'Or and the screenwriter. The best actor is in a melee, "The Ballad of Drunken Country", "Nebraska" ", "Destiny", "Like Father, Like Son" and "Beautiful City" all have a chance, and one award may completely disrupt the trend of other comprehensive awards..
When the "Beautiful City" crew appeared on the red carpet, the entire media center exclaimed. Mark even exaggeratedly slapped his forehead and made a grunting sound of annoyance, as if he had lost everything. worldly.
And when the "Hurley" crew also appeared on the big TV screen, the entire media center went crazy. Everyone expressed their protest and dissatisfaction emotionally. They couldn't believe their eyes..
After being extremely nervous and anxious, Emily calmed down, exhaled heavily, clenched her fists, and secretly encouraged herself and the crew of "Drunk Country Folk". It is still not the end of the world.——
If a total of eight crew teams attend the closing ceremony, it means that there is only a double yolk. At least, "Drunk Country Folk" is not a failure, and it is still qualified to compete for the grand prize. She should not be too pessimistic. She shouldn’t be too negative, she should trust Steven Spielberg’s aesthetic vision！
Wait, what if the crew of "Drunken Country Folk" doesn't win the award?？
All speculations so far are based on an established fact: the crew of "The Ballad of Drunken Country" stayed in Cannes because they were sure they would win the award..
But what if the crew’s stay has nothing to do with the awards, and it’s just that Renly and the Coen brothers stayed to watch the movie?？
Renly has mentioned before that he is full of expectations for "The Beautiful City" and hopes to watch this work on the big screen; and Mark also said that Renly enjoyed watching the movie in Berlin last year. , and even actively participated in the audience’s discussions.
God！
If "Drunk Country Folk" didn't get a trophy and was completely reduced to cannon fodder, Emily felt that she might burst into tears..
“bang bang bang！”
There was a burst of applause in my ears. It was not the kind of passionate applause. It was just a polite salute. I clapped my hands gently, then slowly raised my hands and continued to applaud above my head. Express your inner expectations and excitement in this way, look at the big TV screen, and then——
It's a "drunken country folk song"”！
Emily immediately raised her hands high and began to applaud enthusiastically. They appeared, they finally appeared! This is a good thing, this is definitely a good thing, at least I can look forward to it tonight.
It can be seen that Renly is in a very relaxed mood, as if it is not an important occasion to attend the award ceremony and closing ceremony, but just a small party; Justin and Kerry, who are traveling with him, are even more nervous, vaguely looking forward to the Coen brothers. To win the Palme d'Or again after 22 years.
In fact, the Coen brothers have always been the darlings of the Cannes Film Festival.
1991In 2001, "Barton Fink" won the Palme d'Or, Best Director and Best Actor. "Fargo" in 1996 and "The Absent Man" in 2001 won the Best Director Award twice. This year it has once again become a strong contender for the top prize, especially since the chairman of the jury is Steven Spielberg, which is even more worth looking forward to..
Joel Coen and Ethan Coen are traveling lightly. It can be seen from their demeanor and actions that they are enjoying a good time tonight..
The best moment of the night, though, came from “Adele’s Life”.
To put it bluntly, this is a French movie.
If "The Life of Adele" can successfully win the Palme d'Or tonight, it will be the third time since the millennium that a French film has won the highest honor of the film festival. The previous two works were ""The Life of Adele"" in 2005. Children" and the 2008 "Classroom Storm"”.
Compared with Berlin and Venice, Cannes has focused more on the world map and has not forgotten the cultivation and support of local films. However, the current overall results are still not outstanding enough. Those who are active in the world film industry French filmmakers are still members of the Mesozoic generation, and the growth rate of the new generation has not yet caught up..
By the way, Abdel-Kechiche, the director of "The Life of Adele", is fifty-three years old this year, but in fact, he is still an important representative of the new generation of filmmakers..
Abudai was an actor by background. He had appeared on the big screen as early as the 1980s and participated in many works. However, his performance was always lukewarm and he was not able to truly make a breakthrough. In 2000, when he was in his forties, When he was 20 years old, he directed his debut film "The Error of Voltaire", which won two critics' awards at the Venice Film Festival and became a blockbuster..
After that, Abdai's directorial career was out of control..
2003"Dodge" in 2007 and "Millets and Mullets" in 2007. Both works swept France's highest award, the Cesar Award, and both times were the overall best picture, best director and best original screenplay. and each of the works was shortlisted for the main competition section of the Venice Film Festival. Although they failed to win major awards, they received a lot of recognition from film critics..
“"The Life of Adele" is only Abday's fifth feature film..
Therefore, Abudai is still considered a "new generation"”.
If Abdai can win the Palme d'Or at tonight's awards ceremony, it will undoubtedly have more long-term significance for French films..
In addition, Lea-Seydoux, one of the two heroines of "Adele's Life", is also the absolute focus of attention.
Since she started her acting career in 2008, Leya has become a fashion darling. Unfortunately, she has never encountered the work that made her shine, until now; however, what really makes Leya become the focus , but it’s because of her family background. Like Renly, she also comes from the upper class..
Léa's grandfather is the chairman of the old French film company EMI, and the chairman of Gaumont Film Company is her great-uncle. In other words, she is the third generation from a film family..
Therefore, when the crew members appeared on the red carpet, all the reporters were excited. The attention was faintly surpassed by "Drunk Country Folk" and became the biggest hit tonight..
When the red carpet officially came to an end, a total of eight crew teams arrived at the Film Palace..
“"Adele's Life," "Ballad," "Once Upon a Time," "Nebraska," "Destined to Be," "Hurley," "Beautiful City," and "Like Father, Like Son”.
Tonight's seven awards are about to be born among them, including the most anticipated Palme d'Or of the year..
……
The awards ceremony began. Steven Spielberg led the jury members onto the stage. They collectively sat on the red sofa on the right side of the stage. The results of each award were announced by Chairman Steven. Two judges will serve as award presenters and award the trophies to the winners..
There is no performance, no greetings, and no tributes. Everything revolves around the awards. The entire award ceremony lasts between forty-five minutes and an hour. It is simple, clear, and neat..
The first award was given to the best actress.
It's a little surprising, but strictly speaking, the four individual awards such as Best Actress, Best Actor, Best Screenplay, and Best Director are not in order. The order of awards should be determined according to the intensity of competition. , there is no strict official process list.
In the end, the "passing" French actress Bérénice Bejo successfully won! After "The Great Artist" the year before last, she once again presented a much-anticipated work. This work directed by Iranian director Asghar Farhadi lived up to expectations and continued the director's previous work "A Farewell". Excellent reputation, received a lot of praise at this year's Cannes Film Festival.
Immediately afterwards, the Best Screenplay Award, "Destined" from China, stood out in the fierce battle..
This is not a big accident.
It's not an unpopularity, but an accident. Because there are quite a few impactful works in the screenwriting department; but thinking about it from another perspective, "Destiny" won the award, while other competitive works may have been upgraded and have the The possibility of hitting the top three major awards is a good thing for the two works "Adele's Life" and "Drunken Country Ballads".
Subsequently, the Jury Prize.
The three major comprehensive awards at the Cannes Film Festival are the Palme d'Or, the Jury Prize, and the Jury Prize, which correspond to first, second, and third place respectively..
However, no one wants to be second or third, although this is still an important affirmation.
Emily's heart couldn't help but shrink. On the one hand, she was worried about the name "Drunken Country Folk Song" appearing; on the other hand, she was worried about missing out on the jury award and "Drunken Country Ballad" had no results, so what should she do?？
Steven did not create suspense and directly announced the answer, "Like father, like son."”.
