Chapter 624 Happy for only 2 Minutes

The mediocre word-of-mouth cannot prevent the crew of "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" from continuing to hit awards, but after several screenings in Cannes, Ronan judged based on the audience's word-of-mouth that the film's overseas box office is definitely not as good as that in North America box office.

After all, this bowl of chicken soup is still made according to the tastes of American audiences, but it is normal for Europeans to have different tastes.

When I return to North America at the end of the year, I must tell the American audience through publicity: Come on, come on, let’s make this bowl of chicken soup together.

Of course, Relativity Entertainment only cooks and sells chicken soup. As for whether it is poisonous or not, it is up to the audience to taste it.

Michael Moore's premiere invitation was sent to Connie, but Connie turned down the premiere invitation for "Fahrenheit 9/11" with an excuse that Ronan was going to Germany.

The documentary was successfully premiered in Cannes, which caused a huge sensation, even the whole of Europe, because the content is so exciting.

And Quentin Tarantino, the ruffian director, has no scruples about his status as the chairman of the jury, and almost seizes every opportunity to praise the film "Fahrenheit 9/11".

In the regular press conference of the jury, in order to promote "Fahrenheit 9/11", Quentin even used four or five consecutive "FXXKING" to enhance the tone.

And when a foreign reporter said that some parts of the film were not even as good as the TV pictures, Quentin was very angry, and he said loudly: "I know you only like beautiful pictures, you are only interested in this, okay, let me answer this Question, the movie is not just a pretty picture. Have you seen the picture on TV of American soldiers mistreating Iraqi prisoners of war? It is not beautiful, but it is very powerful. I turned my head away sadly after seeing it..."

When the reporter was about to continue, Quentin said like a child: "I don't want to hear what you have to say."

Then angrily took off the earphones used for translation and threw them on the table, not listening to the reporter's speech.

The French are notoriously at odds with the United States. Faced with Quentin's outrageous performance, the Cannes Film Festival board surprisingly remained silent.

People with a discerning eye can quickly see that Palme d'Or has already belonged in advance.

Movie awards are only about art, not politics, and this kind of talk can only be used to coax a three-year-old child.

Even Tilda Swinton, who had a serious conflict with Quentin Tarantino at the opening ceremony of the film festival, publicly supported Quentin Tarantino's views.

Hollywood deserves to be the largest concentration of leftists in the United States.

Taking advantage of the time before the end of the Cannes Film Festival, Ronan made a trip to Berlin and met with Tony Koch to discuss the next stage of cooperation between Koch Films and Pacific Investment Fund. Pay attention to the completed "Eavesdropping Storm".

This film has participated in the German Film Awards and won multiple heavyweight awards such as Best Screenplay, Best Feature Film, Best Cinematography, Best Supporting Actor, Best Actor and Best Director.

The German Film Award is the most authoritative and important film award in Germany.

Next, "Eavesdropping Storm" will also participate in awards such as the Berlin Film Festival and the European Film Festival. After winning enough honors from Europe, it will land in the United States at the end of the year and go straight to the awards season, aiming for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.

Of course, this film will not be released in Europe for the time being, and everything will be discussed after the North American awards season.

Ronan stayed in Berlin for a day, then returned to Cannes, returned to the hotel where he was staying, and when he was about to go upstairs, he unexpectedly ran into an acquaintance.

Nicole Kidman just came out of the elevator. After seeing Ronan, she unexpectedly came over to say hello: "Hello, Ronan, I didn't expect to see you in Cannes."

Ronan looked curiously at Nicole Kidman's brown-red short ear-length hair, and responded politely: "Nice to meet you, Nicole."

Probably noticing Ronan's gaze, Nicole Kidman gently stroked the short hair above the ears, and said, "I received a film a while ago and asked for short hair."

Ronan smiled: "Very chic."

To be honest, this is the first time he has seen Nicole Kidman with short hair no matter before or now.

Because of the relationship between Tom Cruise, the two are quite familiar, but they are not friends. After saying hello, Ronan was about to go upstairs. Nicole Kidman thought of something, but said in a low voice: "Can Shall we talk for a while?"

Ronan gave her a curious look, but in the end he didn't refuse, and said, "Of course."

Nicole Kidman left the elevator room first and walked towards the rest area in the hotel lobby. Ronan signaled to Connie next to her to join her, and then followed.

There were not many people in the rest area, so Nicole Kidman deliberately chose a corner seat, waited for Ronan to sit down, asked his opinion, and ordered two cups of black tea.

Nicole Kidman seemed to be thinking about something and didn't speak for a while.

Ronan asked, "When did you come to Cannes?"

"It just arrived today." Nicole Kidman smiled: "The "Rebirth" I starred in will be screened in Cannes. There are several promotional activities. The organizing committee invited me to attend the awards ceremony this weekend."

Ronan had never heard of the movie "Rebirth", so he didn't want to say much, so he simply asked, "Nicole, what do you want from me?"

Nicole Kidman nodded slowly, looked directly at Ronan, and said, "I want to apologize to you."

"Apologize?" Ronan didn't know why.

"I apologize for my irrational behavior after the Oscar." Nicole Kidman simply explained: "I really messed up because of the divorce and said a lot of things that shouldn't be said."

Her attitude was very sincere: "I'm sorry, Ronan."

"It's okay." Seeing Nicole Kidman's serious expression and pretty face, Ronan said very generously, "I've forgotten about that little thing."

He really didn't take that to heart.

Nicole Kidman said quickly: "Thank you." She sighed, implying: "The matter between me and Tom has seriously affected my mentality. Until now, I don't know how to deal with it." This relationship."

Ronan had never been married, let alone divorced or ex-wife, and it was nothing to say to him.

But then it occurred to him that it was impossible for Nicole Kidman to express such emotion to himself suddenly.

Sure enough, Nicole Kidman said again: "Ronan, I have known you for as long as you and Tom. I hope that my relationship with Tom will not affect our relationship."

Hearing this, Ronan looked at Nicole Kidman again. In her beautiful eyes, she seemed to see a banner called "Gold Medal Producer".

Nicole Kidman, sober, has always been a smart woman.

Ronan thought about the bad things between Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise in the future, and said a few more words: "Nicole, I suggest that you normalize your relationship with Tom. As an outsider, I can't tell who is right and who is wrong, but I have known you since you were husband and wife, what can I say?"

Nicole Kidman nodded slightly: "Go ahead."

"Even if you and Tom can't be friends, there's no need to be enemies." Ronan also didn't know whether Nicole Kidman was secretly among those who blacked Tom Cruise: "Relax Mentality, peace of mind, it's good for you and Tom, isn't it?"

Nicole Kidman was obviously thinking about it seriously, and after a while, she said: "I will try to do it, but I may not be able to do it."

Ronan said calmly: "There is nothing that time cannot solve."

Nicole Kidman forced a smile: "Thank you for the suggestion."

Ronan looked at his watch: "You're welcome." This time, his impression of Nicole Kidman improved significantly: "Nicole, I hope the future will be better."

Nicole Kidman said with a smile: "It must be better."

Ronan stood up: "I won't bother you, I'll contact you later."

Nicole Kidman shook hands with Ronan: "Goodbye, Ronan."

When Ronan took Connie away, Nicole Kidman suddenly had the urge to stop him, but forcibly endured it, because some things were too impatient to achieve good results.

Ronan walked towards the elevator room, if in the future he could save his friend from troubles from his ex-wife, it would be better than before.

Connie followed behind Ronan, looked around to see if there was no one around, and reminded in a low voice: "Sandhai Entertainment sent a letter to CAA to seek a suitable heroine for Mr. and Mrs. Smith. Someone from CAA revealed that Nicole Kidman Interested in competing for the role."

Ronan's good mood dissipated in an instant, and he turned to look at Connie and said, "Can't you make me happy for a while?"

Connie smiled embarrassedly and said, "If I don't remind you immediately, I will resign."

Having worked as Ronan's assistant for several years, Connie certainly knows Ronan's character, the former is actually nothing, while the latter can be very serious.

Ronan sighed: "It seems that I think it's easy."

The Cannes Film Festival is coming to an end, and none of the films that will be released later will take away half of the limelight from "Fahrenheit 9/11". Since the premiere of "Fahrenheit 9/11", there seems to be only one voice left in this Cannes Film Festival - the voice of "Fahrenheit 9/11" Support from Warner 911 and criticism from US authorities!

This momentum continued to the closing ceremony and awards ceremony of the Cannes Film Festival. With the strong support of Quentin Tarantino, Michael Moore's "Fahrenheit 9/11" won the most important Palme d'Or without any suspense !

When Quentin presented the Palme d'Or, he whispered to Michael Moore, which caused many speculations, but the ruffian director, no matter what the outside world is like, I am unmoved.

At this year's Cannes Film Festival, Quentin Tarantino fully interpreted the power of a jury chairman.

As for film art and the like, it must be ranked behind both power and politics.

Other awards became a veritable share of the cake. "Old Boy" won the jury award, Maggie Zhang won the best actress, and Tony Grieve won the best director.

"When Happiness Knocks on the Door" also made some gains. At the same time as it missed the jury award, Will Smith won the best actor crown.
