Chapter 830 830 Strong victory
The first to be announced was the jury prize. The jury led by Clint Eastwood once again gave all the audience a surprise, giving birth to the second double egg yolk tonight. Both of them were won by China's "living" and "scalding sun" from Russia. It can be seen that these two works were hard to solve in the minds of the judges, and they could only end in a juxtaposition.
"Living" received the highest praise in Cannes, which many media had not expected before, and this outstanding result made the Chinese media excited. "The Scarlet Sun" seemed to have been lukewarm after its premiere, but in fact, it is rare for professional film critics to praise it. Some people even believe that this work should win the Palme d'Or, which has received a lot of support, which shows that the work is super high quality.
Although neither "living" nor "scalding sun" were able to win the Palme d'Or, the jury award still gave positive recognition to the quality of these two works, especially "living" who won two important awards, "living" and "jury awards", can be said to be returning with a full load.
When Zhang Yimou stepped onto the stage, the applause of the tsunami at the scene made Hugo feel: For many Western countries, this is China's most famous director. Even Quentin, who was standing next to Hugo, did not stop nodding, and the Weinstein brothers were no exception.
Now only the final Palme d'Or is left without awarding.
At this time, only works that have hope of competing for Palme d’Or are left with "Pulp novels", "Red of the Blue, White and Red Trilogy" and "Dear Diary".
Strictly speaking, "Dear Diary" is a dark horse, and "Red of the Blue, White and Red Trilogy" is a hot topic, but there is never a real dark horse in Cannes. To be precise, everyone has the possibility of winning, it all depends on the jury's preferences. It may even be not any of the so-called three candidate works now, but any other in the main competition unit. This is the greatest charm of the film festival.
In fact, when it comes to the jury, it is estimated that Hugo and Ishiguro conflict will appear in everyone's minds. Ishiguro Kazuo originally disliked "Puu Novels", but as a result, Hugo was severely humiliated by Hugo on the day of the premiere of "Money Empire" This is the reporter's point of view. Ishiguro Kazuo had no good feelings for Hugo, and he must have rejected "Puu Novels" to the extreme.
There are ten people in the Cannes jury. If you offend one judge, it is actually equivalent to offending two or three judges who are good at this judge. You can basically be judged to be missed with the award.
In fact, before the award ceremony began, some people thought that "Queen Margo" might have lost his chance to the Palme d'Or because there was a conflict between Isabel Ajani and Catherine Deneuve. Although the matter has not been made public, it has been circulated in the journalist circle.
Catherine Deneuve is known as a French national treasure actor. She has appeared in the audience's sight since the 1960s. Beauty and nobility have reached a perfect unity in her. She has been loved by countless audiences and has lasted for nearly sixty years. Before 2014, she was still active on the big screen.
Catherine has a wide connection in the French film industry and can be regarded as a queen-level figure. She is also a member of the jury this year. Although she is not the chairman of the jury, she is the most powerful and connected member in the jury.
As we all know, Isabel Ajani has a strong personality and is unruly, so it is normal for her to have a conflict between two strong women, Catherine. Although she did not know the specific content of the conflict, a reporter found out that Catherine directly communicated with the chairman of the Cannes Film Festival and even alarmed the French president. She strongly demanded that she refuse to award the Palme d'Empress Margot, which led to this work that was highly anticipated by the French media that could only win a jury award that would be comforted.
Of course, this is just gossip and has not been really reported, and there is no direct evidence to prove it.
But even so, the jury's strong influence at the Cannes Film Festival can still be seen, which made the conflict between Hugo and Ishiguro Kazuo infinitely magnified.
But thankfully, as a writer, Kazuo Ishiguro has a very limited influence in the film industry, which also makes "Pulp Novels" still retain the hope of winning the award: Hugo's ability to win the Best Actor Trophy is the first important proof.
After comprehensive consideration, "Blue, White and Red Trilogy Red" is indeed the biggest favorite to win. "Blue" won the Venice Golden Lion Award, "Blue" won the Berlin Silver Bear Award, and "Red" led the way after its release in Cannes. Many film critics even believe that this work surpassed the first two of the trilogy, and the overall quality is better.
The most important thing is that the work "Red" has been incomplete at this year's Cannes Film Festival, which is indeed incredible for the "Blue, White and Red Trilogy" that has won countless praises throughout Europe. So, in a sense, winning the "Pulp Novel" of the Best Director and winning the "Dear Diary" of the Best Director can also be considered to be losing the qualification.
But no matter what, the final answer still needs to be left to the jury to make a decision.
Clint Eastwood appeared on the stage again. He still didn't say much nonsense. After briefly expressing his feelings and praise for many of the masterpieces exhibited this year, he said with a smile, "The winner of the Palme d'Or at the 47th Cannes Film Festival is..."
Although Clint was the one who knew the answer, he opened the envelope in his hand, then glanced at the card inside before saying, "'Pulp novel', America."
"Boom!" In an instant, the entire movie palace was like a drop of cold water falling into boiling hot oil, completely boiling. Quentin did not hide his joy at all. He immediately raised his hands and stood up, raising his arms and shouted, "We won!" The Weinstein brothers sitting next to him stood up in delight and hugged each other. Even Uma, who was sitting next to him, clenched his fists with a smile. For Uma, her biggest purpose in staying in Cannes was achieved at this moment. Since the entire crew member of the Palme d'Or can come on stage to receive the award, she will also appear on the stage as a part of the Palme d'Or and attract the attention of the whole world, so she was naturally in a better mood at this moment...
Although Hugo had known this result for a long time, he was still nervous before Clint revealed the answer. He was still curious whether history had changed or not. He was curious whether he really had no effect on "Pulp Novels" after he got the Best Actor. So when Hugo heard the name of "Pulp Novels", his first reaction was to clench his fists and cheer excitedly, even happier than when he got the Best Actor.
In the end, Krishtov Kieslovsky's dream of winning the Grand Slam with the "Blue, White and Red Trilogy" was cut off and stranded in Cannes; in the end, the unique innovation, sharp style, bold and novel "pulp novel" still ended in Cannes; in the end, Cannes awarded an acting award and the Palme d'Or to the same work for the fourth consecutive year; in the end, Cannes was Cannes after all, and did not play according to common sense, and always insisted on its own independent but commercial, novel but civilian, elegant but vulgar personal route.
Perhaps, no analysis can match this fact: Cannes just don't want to see a trilogy film successfully sweep the three major film festivals and achieve the feat of Krishtov's fame for the eternal.
After Hugo cheered, he saw that several people around him jumped up. He immediately jumped up and prepared to give Quentin a solid hug. However, before Hugo could slap Quentin on the back, Quentin clenched his fist and gave Hugo a shoulder. Before Hugo could even hug Quentin, he was pushed away... and then he saw Quentin walking towards the aisle with a smile on his face. Hugo stood there with a look of vomiting blood on his face.
Then Harvey Weinstein punched Hugo in the shoulder; then Bob Weinstein punched Hugo in the shoulder.
Hugo wanted to hide, but Quentin stood behind him, grabbed his hands directly, and then kept jumping up and down the spot, shouting and screaming, but Hugo was like a living target. Hugo was bursting with tears.
But when he saw Uma coming, Quentin let go of Hugo, then hugged Hugo's shoulder, and walked up to the stage with excitement. But Uma didn't care at all and followed the Weinstein brothers.
When Quentin and Hugo walked onto the stage, the audience reached a peak of applause. Quentin took the crystal clear Palme d'Or from Clint. Clint also walked behind and hugged the other four representatives of "Pulp Novels". Then Quentin walked in front of the microphone. Director was the representative of the speech after the Palme d'Or, while Hugo stood in a row with Harvey, Bob, and Uma, looking at Quentin who was standing two steps away as excited as a child.
Quentin sang to the microphone, "This is undoubtedly a dream come true. I am so happy. Compared to winning the award, my movie can bring everyone joy. This is the best thing. Thanks to Harvey and Bob for their appreciation of me, thanks to Hugo for their trust in me and your contribution to the script," Quentin half turned around and looked at his companions standing behind, and said with a smile. His eyes finally fell on Uma, but he turned around and turned to face the audience. "And thanks to the members of our entire crew, everyone is not on the scene, but this is a moment that belongs to all of us."
Chapter completed!
