Chapter 830 Chapter 830

The Jury Prize was announced first. The jury led by Clint Eastwood once again surprised all the audience with the birth of the second double yolk tonight, from China. China's "Alive" and Russia's "Burning Sun" both won. It can be seen that these two works were inseparable in the minds of the judges, and they could only end in juxtaposition.

"Alive" won the highest praise in Cannes, which was not expected by many media before, and this time the outstanding results were even more disappointing. The national media is excited; "Burning Sun" seems to have been tepid after its premiere, but in fact, it is rare for professional film critics to praise it so highly that some people even think that this work should win the Palme d'Or ——This view has also received a lot of support, which shows the super high quality of this work.

Although "Alive" and "Scorching Sun" failed to win the Palme d'Or, the Jury Prize gave positive affirmation to the quality of these two works, especially the two important awards of Best Actor and Jury Prize. "To live" can be described as a rewarding experience.

When Zhang. art. When Mo came to power, Hugo felt the tsunami of applause at the scene: For many Western countries, this is China. the country's most famous director. Even Quentin, who was standing beside Hugo, couldn't stop nodding, and the Weinstein brothers were no exception.

Only the final Palme d'Or remains to be awarded.

At this point, only "Pulp Fiction," "Red in the Blue, White, and Red Trilogy" and "Dear Diary" were left with hopeful entries for the Palme d'Or.

Strictly speaking, "Dear Diary" is a dark horse, and "The Red of the Blue, White and Red Trilogy" is a hit, but there has never been a real dark horse in Cannes. To be precise, everyone has the possibility to win. It all depends on the preferences of the jury, and it may not even be any of the so-called three candidate works, but any of the other works in the main competition unit, which is the biggest charm of the film festival.

In fact, when it comes to the jury, it is estimated that the conflict between Hugo and Kazuo Ishiguro will appear in everyone's mind. Kazuo Ishiguro didn't like "Pulp Fiction" in the first place, and as a result, he was severely humiliated by Hugo on the day of the premiere of "Money Empire" - this is the reporter's point of view, and Kazuo Ishiguro has nothing to do with Hugo. Good impression, for "Pulp Fiction" must be rejected to the extreme.

There are ten people in the Cannes jury. If you offend one jury, you will in fact offend two or three judges who are better than this jury. Basically, you can be judged to miss the award.

In fact, before the awards ceremony, some people thought that "Queen Margot" might miss the Palme d'Or because of a conflict between Isabel Adjani and Catherine Deneuve. Although the matter has not been made public, it was reported by reporters It has been circulating in the circle.

Catherine Deneuve is known as a French national treasure. She has appeared in the audience's sight since the 1960s. Beauty and nobility have achieved a perfect unity in her body, which has been loved by countless audiences, and It has lasted for nearly sixty years, and before 2014, she was still active on the big screen.

Catherine has a wide network of contacts in the French film industry and can be called 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 well-connected member of the jury.

As we all know, Isabelle Adjani has a strong personality and is rebellious, so it is normal for her and Catherine to have conflicts between two powerful women. Although I don't know the specific content of the conflict, some reporters heard that Catherine communicated directly with the chairman of the Cannes Film Festival, and even alarmed the French President, she strongly demanded that "Queen Margot" be refused to award the Palme d'Or, which led to this incident. The work that the French media had high hopes for could only win a consoling jury award.

Of course, it's just gossip, it's not really reported, and there's no direct evidence to back it up.

But even so, you can still see the strong influence of the jury at the Cannes Film Festival, which makes the contradiction between Hugo and Kazuo Ishiguro infinitely magnified.

But fortunately, Kazuo Ishiguro, as a writer, has limited influence in the film industry, which also makes "Pulp Fiction" still hope to win the award: Hugo can win the Best Actor trophy, which is the first an important proof.

After such comprehensive consideration, "Red of the Blue, White and Red Trilogy" is indeed the biggest winner. Previously, "Blue" won the Venice Golden Lion Award, "White" won the Berlin Silver Bear Award, and "Red" won the Silver Bear Award in Berlin. "After its release at Cannes, it took the lead all the way, and many critics even thought that this work surpassed the first two parts of the trilogy, and the overall quality was better.

The most important thing is that the "Red" work has so far failed to win at this year's Cannes Film Festival, which is indeed incredible for the "Blue, White, and Red Trilogy" that has received numerous accolades throughout Europe. Therefore, in a sense, the "Pulp Fiction" that won the best actor and the "Dear Diary" that won the best director can also be considered to be disqualified from the competition.

But in any case, the final answer still needs to be left to the jury to decide.

Clint Eastwood appeared on the stage again. He still didn't have too much nonsense. After briefly expressing his feelings and praise for the many excellent works exhibited this year, he said with a smile, "Forty-seventh. The winner of the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival is..."

Although Clint was the one who knew the answer, he opened the envelope in his hand, glanced at the card inside, and said, "'Pulp Fiction,' America."

"Boom!" In an instant, the whole scene of the movie palace was like a drop of cold water falling into the scalding hot oil, and it boiled completely. Quentin did not hide his joy at all, and immediately raised his hands and stood directly. He got up, raised his arms and shouted, "We won!" The Weinstein brothers who were sitting next to them also stood up with joy and hugged each other. Even Uma, who was sitting next to him, clenched his fists with a smile on his face. ——For Uma, her biggest purpose of staying in Cannes has been achieved at this moment. Since the entire crew of the Palme d’Or winners can come on stage to receive the award, she will also appear on the stage as a part of the Palme d’Or winners , has attracted the attention of the whole world, so she is naturally in a better mood at this time. .

Although Hugo knew the result for a long time, he was still nervous before Clint revealed the answer. He was still curious about whether history had changed or not, and he wondered if he really had a problem with "Pulp Fiction" after he got the best actor. "It didn't have any effect, so when Hugo heard the name of "Pulp Fiction", his first reaction was to clench his fists and cheered excitedly, even happier than when he took the best actor himself.

In the end, Krzysztof Kieslowski's dream of winning the Grand Slam by relying on the "Blue, White and Red Trilogy" was cut off in Cannes; "Pulp Fiction" still had the last laugh at Cannes; in the end, Cannes awarded an acting award and the Palme d'Or for the fourth consecutive year to the same work; in the end, Cannes was Cannes after all, playing cards against common sense, and always insisting on its own independence But commercial, novel but civilian, elegant but vulgar personality line.

Perhaps, no analysis can compare to the fact that Cannes just doesn't want to see a trilogy of films swept through the three major film festivals and accomplished Krzysztof's immortal feat.

After Hugo cheered, he saw several people around him jumping up, and he jumped up immediately, ready to give Quentin a firm hug, but before Hugo slapped Quentin's back with a heavy hand , Quentin clenched his fist and gave Hugo a shoulder. Hugo was pushed away before he could hug Quentin... Pushed away, and then saw Quentin walking towards the aisle with a smile on his face. , Hugo stood on the spot, with an expression like he was about to vomit blood.

Then there was Harvey Weinstein, who punched Hugo in the shoulder, and Bob Weinstein, who punched Hugo in the shoulder.

Hugo wanted to dodge, but Quentin stood behind him, grabbed his hands directly, and kept jumping on the ground, shouting and screaming, but Hugo was like a living target. Hugo burst into tears.

But when he saw Uma approaching, Quentin let go of Hugo, put his arms around Hugo's shoulders, and walked up to the stage excitedly. But Uma didn't care either, and just walked behind the Weinstein brothers.

When Quentin and Hugo stepped onto the stage, the applause of the audience reached a peak. Quentin took over the crystal clear Palme d'Or from Clint, and Clint walked behind to meet " The other four representatives of Pulp Fiction hugged one by one, and then Quentin walked to the microphone - the director was the representative who spoke after the Palme d'Or, and Hugo lined up with Harvey, Bob, and Uma. , looking at Quentin who stood two steps away, excited like a child.

Quentin said into the microphone, "This is undoubtedly a dream come true moment, I'm really happy, compared to winning an award, my film can bring joy to everyone, this is the best Thank you Harvey and Bob for appreciating me, and Hugo for believing in me—and for your contribution to the script," Quentin said with a smile, half-turning to look at his companions standing behind At last, his eyes fell on Uma, but he passed it lightly, and turned to face the audience again, "And thanks to the members of our entire crew, everyone was not there, but this belongs to all of us. time."

Quentin is still the style of his movies, he is completely talkative, but this is the last moment of the awards ceremony, so no one urged him, but after he said a lot, he finally sighed, "At the end, I There is a joke about the Palme d’Or that I want to share with you, and it’s the filmmakers who don’t get the Palme d’Or more than the filmmakers who get the Palme d’Or. Thank you!”
