Chapter 827 827 Cannes Actor

Unlike awards ceremonies such as the Oscars and the Golden Globes, the award ceremonies of the three major film festivals are relatively simple. There is no grand party, no exciting awarding process, and it is more like a summary meeting—that is, the closing ceremony. , to give out major awards, to commend the works that participated in the film festival, and that's all.

This is also because the main body of the film festival has always been the part of the previous film screenings, and the awards ceremony can only be regarded as a summary.

Similarly, the award setting at the film festival is relatively simple. Taking Cannes as an example, in addition to the highest award, the Palme d'Or, the Jury Prize is equivalent to the second place, which can be regarded as the third place. Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Director, Best Screenplay. There are seven awards in total.

In addition, there is another award called the Fipresci Award (Fipresci. Prizes), which is also called the International Film Critics Award or the Fipresci International Film Critics Award. The International Film Critics Association forms its own jury and awards awards before the festival awards ceremony. This award exists at major film festivals around the world, including the three major European film festivals.

Therefore, in fact, the award ceremony of the film festival is more concise, without the hustle and bustle of the Oscars and Golden Globes, but it is more pure.

After the awards ceremony began, there was no tedious opening. After the chairman of the jury, Clint Eastwood, took the stage and gave a brief speech, he entered the awarding process.

The Best Screenplay Award was awarded first. This year's Cannes Film Festival has ushered in a big explosion, with excellent works gathered, and the overall quality is not inferior to last year's grand occasion when "Farewell My Concubine" and "Farewell to the Piano" were tied for the Palme d'Or.

Last year brought together Hou. filial piety. Xian, Chen. Kay. Song, Ken. Loach, Mike - Lee (Mike. Leigh), Wim - Wenders (Wim. Wenders), Kitano Takeshi, Steven - Soderbergh (Steven. Soderbergh), Andre. Techine and many other film masters, the media were amazed by the fierce competition. In the end, not only the Palme d'Or, but also the Jury Prize appeared in juxtaposition, which is a rare grand occasion. .

Although the overall momentum of this year seems to be inferior to last year, because the number of famous directors is slightly inferior, the quality of the entries is not inferior, and five or six of them have the strength to win the Palme d'Or - in the eyes of the media, this also makes the awards. Before the ceremony began, reporters were in full swing with speculation about the awards.

In the first award for the best screenplay, it broke out. The "Pulp Fiction" originally considered the most promising award failed to win, but the French film "Grosse. Fatigue" was a disappointment. win.

After being released in Cannes, "Tired to Death" was generally considered to be "the first half of the film was well conceived, but lacked stamina". The overall strength was weak, and it was considered that the quality was not as good as that of director Michel Brown, who had made brilliant achievements in the role of actors. (Michel. Blanc) Debut ten years ago.

As a result, "I was so tired" took away the first award tonight as a dark horse, which immediately made the whole awards ceremony a little more stunned.

The next best actress award broke out again. Irene. Jacob, who was previously known as the most popular, lost, and the name that came out of the honoree's mouth was Virna. - Lisi (Virna. Lisi), this really fell below everyone's glasses.

At this moment, people clearly feel that this is the Cannes Film Festival! Cannes where people can never make accurate predictions about awards!

In the competition for best actress, Jelena Jacobs, who is considered to have performed absolutely brilliantly, is the heroine of the "Red, Blue, White and Red Trilogy", and her performance has even been praised as "dazzling" ; In addition to her, the heroine of "Queen Margot", Isabelle Adjani, is also considered a strong contender. She reappeared on the big screen after many years in the film industry, and still gave a stunning performance. .

But it turned out that it was neither Irina nor Isabelle, but the supporting actress from "Queen Margot", Verna who played Catherine after Margot's mother!

Although it is said that among the three major film festivals, there is no distinction between the protagonist and the supporting role, and only the best actor and the best actress are selected. The film festival's best actor or actress; but this time, Verna defeated the two heroines who gave wonderful performances, and finally won the queen in Cannes, which is really shocking.

After the two opening awards were unpopular, people didn't dare to hold out hope for the next best actor award. Who knows what the jury will do.

Before the awards ceremony, the best actor winner was the most popular actor Jean-Louis. Trintignant of "Red, Blue, White and Red", who was here The performance in the movie is worthy of the word "stunning", and many people are amazed.

And the actor Oleg Mitchkov of the movie "Burning Sun" is even known as the biggest discovery in Cannes this year. This tough guy from Russia is not as tough and sturdy in his impression, but has a kind of French The style is melancholy and gorgeous, and a pair of gentle eyes are full of drama. His wonderful performance in "The Burning Sun" was a blockbuster, making him famous in Europe in an instant.

In addition to these two actors, "Alive" actor Ge. You and the "Pulp Fiction" Hugo are slightly less powerful, but the gap is not obvious.

Therefore, the already confusing competition for awards, now with the foreshadowing of the best screenwriter and the best actress, becomes more and more unpredictable.

Quentin glanced at Hugo who was sitting on his right, chuckled softly, and pressed Hugo's little arm with his elbow, "Nervous?"

There were not many people from the "Pulp Fiction" crew, that is, five people, Hugo, Uma, Quentin, and the Weinstein brothers. The five people were sitting in a row. Hugo was sitting in the most aisle position. Looking at Quentin, he curled the corners of his mouth and laughed, "No!" Such a neat answer made Quentin a little embarrassed, and pouted his lips dejectedly.

Hugo was really not nervous at this time. There were many reasons. The most important thing was that after the nervousness of the Oscars, Hugo became more open to the luck of the award, which was also a sign of maturity. In addition, compared to himself, Hugo still hopes that "Pulp Fiction" can follow the historical trajectory and win the Palme d'Or. This is the recognition that this work should receive in the long history. The awards are very open.

Besides, at international film festivals, it is more difficult to win awards, because all shortlisted competition units are eligible to compete for all awards. To put it simply, in the twenty-five works that have been shortlisted in the main competition unit, all male actors are eligible to compete for the best actor, which makes the competition for each award at the film festival a melee.

If Hugo is not mistaken, he is "alive" in this year's competition, so the final winner of the best actor should be Ge. Excellent, because he became the first Chinese Cannes actor in history. Hugo is willing to vote. One vote.

So, when Paul Newman took the stage as the presenter, Hugo was very relaxed and had time to joke with Quentin. This kind of situation was absolutely not seen at the Oscars two months ago - when the rain Even if he wanted to make a joke, his expression was probably completely stiff.

Paul stood in front of the microphone, and he did not have too many polite greetings. He just said a few scenes and was ready to award the award. "In 1994, the 47th Cannes Film Festival, the winner of the best actor Yes..." Then Paul opened the envelope. If it was an occasion like the Golden Globe Awards, the guests might have to create suspense, but at the film festival, they didn't need it at all, including glanced at the jam in the envelope and said it directly.

"Ge. You, from 'alive'." After Paul's voice came out of the microphone, applause broke out immediately, and Hugo was no exception. He and Quentin smiled at each other, and then applauded at the same time. People around the "Alive" crew all stepped forward to Ge. Yu congratulated.

Honestly, Ge. The excellent award is well deserved. Although it can be regarded as unpopular in the eyes of the media, it is at least much better than the previous two awards.

But Paul ignored everyone's applause, raised his voice again, and said in a louder voice, "Also, Hugo Lancaster, from 'Pulp Fiction'." After speaking, Paul also said Before waiting for the audience to react, they took the lead in applauding. The applause came from the microphone, reawakening the slightly dull nerves of the audience.

All the audience at the scene was stunned for a while, but they quickly reacted. The group all looked in the direction of the "Pulp Fiction" crew and expressed their congratulations with applause. The wave of applause at the scene actually went to a higher level, and some people even started to whistle. This is also the birth of double egg yolk after the Palme d'Or last year!

Hugo and Quentin had stood up and clapped while looking at Ge. Excellent, but before he could stand up completely, he heard Paul's voice, "Crash!" Everyone's eyes were actually focused, which made Hugo stunned for a moment, and looked at Quentin suspiciously, but Kun Ting reacted right away, the smile on his face burst into bloom immediately, and then he gave Hugo a hug, "Congratulations! Congratulations!" As he spoke, he beat the rain fiercely. the back of the fruit.

The Weinstein brothers next to him also leaned towards Hugo with a smile on their face, and their palm-like palms greeted Hugo's shoulders, causing Hugo to grin in pain; The elegant smile applauded, but her eyes, hidden in the darkness, shone with mixed light, and perhaps even she herself could not read the true meaning of this emotion.

At this time, Hugo realized the fact with the pain of his body: he won the best actor in Cannes!
