1329 Successful ending
The Jury Prize was finally awarded to "Drunken Country Folk Songs"”！
Renly just thanked the Coen brothers in his Best Actor acceptance speech; and now the Coen brothers thanked Renly in their acceptance speech.
This is a courtesy exchange, and it is also a hand-in-hand journey..
But Ethan still maintained the unique humorous label in their movie scenes, winked in the direction of Renly under the stage, and said in a teasing tone, "Hey, we're even..”
In an instant, the Lumiere Hall burst into laughter again. Facing the upcoming Palme d'Or, the tense atmosphere relaxed slightly..
Now that all the awards have been awarded, there is only one Palme d'Or left, and among the crew present tonight, there are still three that have not received any. This is a very, very special situation, but it is not impossible to happen at the Cannes Film Festival. situation——
For example, two works are tied for the Palme d'Or, a situation that occurs again after sixteen years; another example is that a work is awarded a special jury award, which is similar to a memorial award, a lifetime achievement award, or a non-staff award. specific reference to a work, a director, an actor or a script.
In other words, there are still many different ways to operate as long as the jury is willing.
But judging from the situation at the scene, the most likely scenario is that there will not be a tie for the Palme d'Or, but the two works will become cannon fodder and return empty-handed; and further, the winner is "Adele's Life", Accompanying him were "Hurley" and "Beautiful City"”.
This is the most reasonable explanation.
Because "Hurley" and "The Beautiful City" are both crews that have not left Cannes for the time being, and were not originally on the recall list, their appearance at the awards ceremony tonight may be purely a public relations activity or publicity plan. They were originally I didn’t come here with the mentality of winning a prize, but just a tourist group here..
It may even be a prank by Steven Spielberg, deliberately playing tricks and fooling everyone..
Under the spotlight, Steven did not create any more suspense and simply announced the final answer, ending this frightening and thrilling chaos of award predictions.：
“At the 66th Cannes Film Festival, the winner of the Palme d'Or is...'La Vie Adele', directed by Abdel-Kirshish and two actors, Léa Seydoux and Adele-Exalhobulos (Adele-Exarchopoulos）.”
All the reporters in the media center were still suffering. When "Adele's Life" came to their ears, they all cheered softly, but before the cheers could be fully released, Steven did not pause. The second half of the sentence left everyone stunned in place, unable to turn their heads for a while.：
what happened？
……
As expected, "Hurley" and "Beautiful City" are indeed supporting works. There is no tie for the Palme d'Or, and there is no big upset..
In fact, the creative team of "Hurley" still stayed in Cannes after the premiere. They did not receive the recall notice and had already determined the outcome of their exit. However, the creative team took the initiative to ask the organizing committee whether they could attend. The red carpet increases exposure and increases the chances of selling North American copyrights..
The organizing committee consulted Gilles Jacob and later Steven Spielberg.
Steven not only agreed to the request, but also said in a wicked way, "You can ask the crew of 'The Beautiful City' and 'Venus in Furs' to see if they are willing to come over. Otherwise, every In 2017, our winners were all guessed early. It was really boring. Why not create some suspense? Of course, that is if they are willing..”
Steven's opinion was adopted.
Roman Polanski declined such a "humiliating" invitation; while Paolo Sorrentino nodded generously..
It is precisely because of this that this year's Cannes Film Festival created the greatest suspense before the awards ceremony and maintained this suspense until the last moment. This is undoubtedly a huge and important revelation for the film festival.——
In order to generate ratings and maintain discussion, maybe they should learn from this year's situation and make more adjustments..
Although there were no surprises from "Hurley" and "The Beautiful City", when Steven announced the winner of the Palme d'Or, he still caused a stunned exclamation in the media center. It can even be said that he dropped a ball. The bombshell knocked everyone present into confusion..
This is the first time in history that the Cannes Film Festival has officially awarded the Palme d'Or to the director and actors of a work.！
The Palme d'Or has always been by default awarded to the entire work. Strictly speaking, it is a collective honor that includes all aspects of the director, actors, scripts, etc. However, unlike the Oscars, where the best film is awarded by the producer, the producer takes the stage to receive it. Award, Palme d'Or, but the director always takes the stage to accept the trophy and applause.——
The Palme d'Or trophy is also kept by the director personally..
More importantly, in media reports and interviews, the director was also considered a worthy winner of the Palme d'Or..
It can be understood that the Oscar's Best Picture honors the producer's contribution to the entire film production process and the Academy's public relations work during the awards season; while the top awards at the three major European film festivals honor the director's contribution to the entire film. The supreme control and creativity behind the film.
“"Television is the screenwriter's art, drama is the actor's art, and film is the director's art." This sentence has been truly verified in continental Europe, but in the United Kingdom and the United States, after the high degree of commercialization, the differences have been completely blurred. The creative boundaries between art forms. In other words, from the source of artistic creation, continental Europe and the United Kingdom and the United States are two completely different systems..
Today, the situation is different.
When Steven announced the winners, he solemnly mentioned three names: Abdai, Léa, and Adele; a director and two actresses.
In other words, this Palme d'Or is to commend the work "The Life of Adele" and the important contributions of the two leading actors..
This is similar to "The Ballad of Drunkenness": a jury award is used to praise the contribution of the Coen brothers, and a Best Actor award is used to praise Renly's performance..
This not only means that the two works that both scored the highest scores in history in the official program became the biggest winners tonight and were affirmed in all aspects; it also means that "Adele's Life" has made history in a gesture of , winning the two actresses their own Palme d'Or as never before..
This is the first time in history that an actor has won the Palme d'Or; at the same time, it is also the first time in sixteen years that we have witnessed the Palme d'Or's "double yolks", an unconventional double yolk..
No wonder the entire media center was stunned！
For a moment, it was difficult for them to tell whether they were more happy or shocked..
It was not until the three actors Abdai, Léa and Adele walked onto the stage hand in hand that everyone finally came to their senses. From the Lumière Hall to the media center, everyone stood up to send them their best wishes. received applause. Although I was surprised, I had no objection. Perhaps this is the most perfect result..
As an award guest, Steven personally completed the awarding of the Palme d'Or: one was awarded to Abdai, one was awarded to Léa and Adele; one was awarded to the director, and one was awarded to the actor. Both were awarded The real Palme d'Or！
Everyone present witnessed the birth of history with their own eyes! From "The Ballad of Drunkenness" to "The Life of Adele," this is a history-making Cannes Film Festival! A happy ending！
Emily showed a slightly surprised expression, then she also broke out into a smile and applauded heartily..
Perhaps, this is the most perfect result. Steven is indeed a top producer who has seen countless storms. He is very skilled in Tai Chi and public relations. Two works that have been highly recognized by the media and film critics became the biggest winner of the night. At the same time, it also maintained sufficient professionalism and artistry. Especially the move of awarding the Palme d'Or to the two actresses won everyone's applause.！
More importantly, this may be the least controversial event in the history of the Cannes Film Festival. There is no personal artistic taste of the jury, no unique choice of eccentricity, and the final award results are almost consistent with the official venue catalog and media. Reputation totally matches——
At the end of the film festival, the first place in the overall score was "Adele's Life", and the second place in the overall score was "The Ballad of Drunken Country"; calculated on a full score scale of ten, "Adele's Life" It's 8:4, while "The Ballad of Drunken Country" is 8:2. The two works still have a winner in the comprehensive reputation of all 4,000 media outlets in different regions around the world, and these are the only two works. Works with a comprehensive score of seven points.
In other words, this is the Palme d'Or of the jury and also the Palme d'Or of the professional media. There is no dispute about it.！
Apart from the small surprises, the overall situation is still impressive and even admirable. Even if they were to award the award themselves, they might not be able to find a better solution..
But deep inside, Emily felt a faint sense of loss..
Does this mean that, on the whole, "Adele's Life" is ahead of "Drunken Country Folk"? This is true in terms of the quantity and quality of awards. Especially when both works are highly recognized, this is no longer about dividing the cake, but the artistic and aesthetic choice among the judges..
So, among the judges, there are more judges who like "Adele's Life", but why?？
Emily knew that she should not be unable or necessary to worry about these details. Watching movies is a choice of personal preference. Some people like "The Ballad of Drunken Country", and naturally some people like "Adele's Life". Although the judges We chose the latter, but this still did not affect her love for the former.
In her mind, the Palme d'Or still belongs to "drunk folk songs".
Despite this, loss and regret are inevitable.
Letting out a long breath, another year of the Cannes Film Festival is over..
