One Thousand Three Hundred and Twenty-Two Closing Rumors

"I think the Palme d'Or is definitely for 'Adele's life'."

"No, no, according to Spielberg's preference, it must be 'Drunken Country Ballads'. He is a director who can weave dreams the most. How could he give up 'Drunken Country Ballads'? This is simply the standard in his mind. The Palme d'Or!"

"Why do I think it's like 'father like son'? I mean, is Hirokazu Kore-eda's entire team back? They've all arrived at the airport. Spielberg and Ang Lee are both irresistible types of family-themed works. , and, I think Naomi Kawase will also choose this one. The odds increase suddenly."

"What about 'Drunken Country Ballad' and 'Adele's Life'? What about them?"

"In Adele's words, it may be the Jury Prize; and in Le Verne's words, the best actor?"

"No no, I don't think it's possible. I heard that the 'Nebraska' crew has come back, maybe they won the best actor; then 'Drunken Country Ballad' will still go to the Palme d'Or or the jury award."

"Isn't it? Nebraska's Bruce-Dern is a great guy, but he's not comparable to Renly? If so, that's a shame. People are disappointed! God!"

"This is Cannes. Winning the best actor in Cannes is not as important as participating in the Palme d'Or, okay? I think there's nothing wrong with 'Drunken Country Ballad' getting the Palme d'Or, anyway, Renly doesn't need these awards to prove his excellence and excellence. Excellent, I'd be happier if it was the Coen brothers who got the Palme d'Or. It also means that Renly is finally in a top award-winning work, not just his acting. It's different of!"

"Wait, why did I hear the 'Venus in Furs' crew is coming back, and it looks like it's going to win the grand prize! Roman Polanski seems to be on his way back, if it wasn't for the Palme d'Or, he wouldn't have to come back at all , isn't it? In that case..."

After a gossip was spoken, everyone suddenly became uncontrollably noisy—

"What? Roman?" "Isn't it?" "If it's Roman, it's too exaggerated!" "Steve wouldn't agree, right? Hasn't America's stance on Roman never changed?" "My God , Roman's words, this is outrageous, the quality of the finished product this time is unsatisfactory." "What is this? Outrageous, simply outrageous!"

Emily also involuntarily widened her eyes and couldn't believe her ears, but before she could express her opinion, others were already sighing, and English with various accents swarmed and complained. It felt so amazing that Emily couldn't help laughing happily.

Today is the last day of the sixty-sixth Cannes Film Festival. There are no films released. Everyone is waiting for the closing ceremony and awards ceremony in the evening!

The annual Palme d'Or is about to reveal its secrets, which is undoubtedly the most exciting and exciting time; and, unlike the whole long awards season of the Oscars, all the awards are gradually emerging. Among the big film festivals, with just 12 days and the jury system, the attribution of awards is often elusive and unpredictable, which is all the more exciting.

This year is no exception!

Early on, Emily came to the official media center, joined all the media reporters, and waited for the closing ceremony in the evening while receiving the relevant winners of the one-of-a-kind attention unit and the Fabisi Film Critics Award. , While discussing the gossip about the award, the sense of anticipation, tension and excitement slowly brewed up, slowly stimulating the burst of adrenaline, and the whole person started to get excited.

The media center was chosen instead of the red carpet scene at the Palace of Cinema. On the one hand, it was because the red carpet of the closing ceremony was the work site of the director of photography, which was full of stars and was very lively;

They are mainly journalists with white documents and pink and dotted documents.

In addition, one of the most important reasons is message sharing. Staying in the media center, they can get news updates immediately, and the sense of participation is completely different.

Just now, the media center was sharing the gossip and rumors about the Palme d'Or, and in a trance, they were eavesdropping on the discussion process in the conference room of the jury, which was really exciting.

For the uninitiated, it is bound to be extremely curious: if there is no brewing and publicity for the awards season, how did the so-called award rumors come about?

Before explaining it formally, it is necessary to understand the situation of the Cannes Film Festival.

Over the past 20 years, the awards for the main competition unit of the Cannes Film Festival have been constantly changing, keeping pace with the times.

In 1991, the jury led by Roman Polanski awarded the Palme d'Or, Best Director and Best Actor to "Barton Funk" in one go, which aroused strong dissatisfaction among many people. Since then, the Cannes Film Festival has given an official rule that each film can only win one award, unless it can be accompanied by a performance award.

For example, the Palme d'Or plus best actor.

However, this rule was later violated three times.

In 1999, David Cronenberg awarded the Jury Prize, Best Actor, Best Actress all to Bruno-Dumont's "Man, Sex/Essence/Color".

In 2001, Liv-Ullmann awarded the Grand Jury Prize, Best Actor and Best Actress to Michael-Hanneke's "Piano Teacher".

In 2003, Patrice-Chereau recklessly awarded both the Palme d'Or and the best director two heavyweight trophies to Gus van Sant's "Elephant", which was even more provocative. outrage and controversy.

If it was just a secret rule before that, then after 2003, the Cannes Film Festival clearly stipulated:

Only one award can have a tied double yolk, and this award cannot be the Palme d'Or; a film can only win one award, unless the award is the best screenplay or the jury award representing the third place, then approved by the film festival president After agreeing, you can also attach an actor award.

It is precisely because of this regulation that among the seven awards in the main competition unit, at least six films can win awards, and only eight films can win awards at most.

In other words, everything is fixed!

So, where did the rumors and rumors about the closing ceremony come from?

In fact, this is similar to the Berlin Film Festival.

On the last day of the festival, all the members of the jury will gather in a sea-view estate called Doméguere near Cannes, which will be closed off in isolation, and all the jury's mobile phones and computers will be confiscated. Contact with the outside world is prohibited until the award is vested.

Typically, the judges start their discussions at nine in the morning, and the results must be available by noon, so that there is enough time to call the winners back.

If the winner of the Palme d'Or could not be present to accept the award, it is not a positive signal for the film festival organizers. They still hope that the award-winning guests can accept the trophy on the spot. There are only a few unexpected circumstances - for example, actors There is no way to rush back from the North American continent on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean, so we can only helplessly invite other crew members to receive the trophy.

In 2004, Liu Leyoumi won the Cannes Best Actor Award with "Nobody Knows" and became the youngest winner of the award in film history, but unfortunately, Liu Leyoumi, who was only twelve years old at the time, returned early. In Japan, in the end, the director was led by Hirokazu Koreeda. Although Hirokazu Koreeda is still a direct descendant of Cannes, in the final analysis, he was still a little embarrassed, and he was not able to hear Yumi Liu's acceptance speech.

The Venice Film Festival has the most say in this regard.

In recent years, with the rise of the Toronto Film Festival, most North American film crews choose to promote in Toronto. Even if they come to Venice, they will rush to Toronto for the second round of promotion.

When the jury selects the awards, many winners are unable to come back in time, so that every year at the awards ceremony, there will be a dilemma of lack of winners, especially in the departments of movie stars and actresses. The frequency of disasters is particularly obvious.

This is actually very hurtful for the organizers of the Venice Film Festival. Both viewership and influence are taking a huge hit.

Neither Cannes nor Berlin want that.

However, when informing the crew, the main committee will not reveal the specific awards. Not only to avoid early spoilers, but also to avoid embarrassing situations - tell the other party in advance that "you only won a third-place jury prize", and then the other party has to travel long distances back to Cannes just for a consolation prize , This seems reluctant, and many big-name crews may not be able to leave.

Relevant rumors and rumors come from the process of "notification", which is also inevitable.

When an actor, director or screenwriter receives a notice and learns that he can win an award at the Cannes Film Festival, no matter what the award is, he may tell his agent or his producer in a happy mood. , maybe tell your PR team, or even tell your family, friends, and other crew members...

The party receiving the call may also call more people, or quickly start arranging return trips and celebrations, so the airport staff, the travel agency staff who booked the flight, the party planners, the hotel front desk staff, etc. Or at least be able to learn the news, and maybe even in the excitement, inadvertently leaked, revealing the wind.

As a result, the media reporters who stayed in Cannes began to inquire about the news by using their vast network of contacts, and a general outline could be captured in just a few words.

Therefore, the media center is far more well-informed than the red carpet scene, which is the base camp for reporters. For most journalists, it was much more fun to be in the media center on the day of the closing ceremony. 8) For more wonderful novels, welcome to visit our school
