Chapter 253 Lie in a row neatly
Ken Takakura looked very slender in a black suit. He originally brought a burgundy bow tie, but he refused to wear it when he arrived in Cannes: "It's too gorgeous, as if he had an arrow in his throat."
The one he was shortlisted for was "The Embalmer". I'm afraid it wouldn't be appropriate to wear a black tattoo, so he simply didn't wear anything at all.
Before coming to Cannes, Su Changqing had requirements for everyone's attire. Men should wear suits according to the regulations of the film festival, and women should wear evening gowns.
The production body of "Shoplifters" is Takeshi Kitano Studio. They can wear whatever they like, while "The Embalmer" is produced by a mainland film studio and film and television company. Director Han also specially reminded: "Pay attention to details, actresses
Don't wear a kimono. If the photos are sent back to China, it will cause controversy."
This is a very real problem, and it's best not to get into trouble with boring details.
Later, the big leaders said that Asia is Asia for Asians, which is very correct. However, this obviously needs the support of the big national mentality. Some things can only happen when water is available. There is no water yet. A decent national mentality will only gradually take shape after 20 years.
However, the Internet has taken shape, and the most popular thing right now is the forum. The next ten years will be the most dangerous period in the public opinion field. There are people with all kinds of ulterior motives, so it is best not to fall for the poisonous arrow.
After the applause stopped, Ken Takakura held the rolled certificate in his hand and delivered his acceptance speech.
The Cannes Film Festival is much stingier than the Berlin Film Festival, and the best actor only has one certificate.
The grand prizes at the Berlin Film Festival all give out trophies, and they all give out gold bears. If I couldn't stand it, I gave out silver ones.
In Cannes, only the Palme d'Or was awarded a golden palm branch, and the others were certificates. It was not until twenty years later that every award was given a trophy. It was so stingy that it was insane.
Su Changqing didn't want a certificate. It would be too embarrassing to put in so much effort to get a piece of paper, so he had already negotiated with Kitano Takeshi that "Shoplifters" should go to Berlin so that his best screenwriter could get a silver bear and keep it at home.
Good looking and durable.
Ken Takakura spoke in Japanese with a low and magnetic voice. After thanking his parents and family as usual, he looked in the direction of Su Changqing: "This award also belongs to director Su Changqing, a unique artist. Your creations have improved humankind's understanding of civilization.
"
There should be applause here, but none of the guests understood what he was saying, which is a pity.
Although the Japanese team of Imamura Shohei's "Eel" understood it, they did not have the courage to applaud Takakura Ken and Su Changqing.
During his eleven days in Cannes, Su Changqing traveled almost all over this small town and once met the director of "Eel" Shohei Imamura in a cafe.
Imamura Shohei is already over 70 years old. In the 1980s, he already won the Palme d'Or once for "Narayama Setka".
Not only did he have an early relationship with Cannes, but he also has a deep relationship with China. Both of his brothers died in the mainland after the Marco Polo Bridge Incident.
Imamura Shohei once said: "I was only eleven years old at that time, otherwise I would have joined the army."
Fortunately, he was only eleven years old at the time, otherwise he would have died on the mainland. The three brothers lay neatly in a row.
In 1989, the Japanese film industry released two "Black Rain" films.
One is "Black Rain" by Ridley Scott, the great director of "Alien", "Gladiator" and "Blade Runner", starring Michael Douglas and Ken Takakura.
Although it is a police film, it also contains a lot of reflections on war. This is an American film, so its stance is certainly not too skewed.
One is "Black Rain" by Shohei Imamura, which tells the story of the rough life of a girl who was exposed to the black rain after the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, as if she was under a curse. It mainly promotes the theory of war victimization.
Probably because he didn't want to interact with Chinese people, he responded coldly to Su Changqing's greeting.
Su Changqing didn't feel dissatisfied, after all, this old guy had brought him a lot of spiritual food.
The biggest feature of Imamura Shohei's well-known works is the special features, which are said to be aimed at the grassroots and the lower body.
It doesn't matter what the grassroots level is, Su Changqing only likes the naked naked actors in his movies, no matter big or small, they have to take off their clothes when he gets his hands on them.
"Narayama Festival" was filmed early, and the various sex scenes in it were very simple, and there was also a plot where the dog beeped.
Here again I strongly recommend "The Warm Current Under the Red Bridge", a classic business card.
From the moment Takakura Ken stepped onto the podium to receive the certificate, Meiko Kaji and Chizu Kano were so excited that they burst into tears. At this time, they were the first to applaud, so that the scene would not be embarrassing.
Ken Takakura finally won the international award for Best Actor, and Su Changqing has finally fulfilled his promise.
Although the two never said it clearly, the goals of the several contacts before the start of filming were very clear. Otherwise, Takakura Ken's reputation in East Asia is already at its peak, why would he fly more than ten hours to this small European city.
This is a tacit understanding. Ken Takakura needs a director with a global perspective, while Su Changqing needs an Asian actor with appeal. We all worked together and finally sat together in the awards hall in Cannes.
Finally, Ken Takakura came back amidst applause and cheers, and hugged everyone again.
Next is the Best Actress section.
The actresses in this class lack bright spots, show insufficient strength, and never have the options that everyone expects.
Although Sigourney Weaver in "The Ice Storm" and Meiko Kaji in "The Embalmer" are both capable actors, their roles in the dramas are too small and it is almost impossible to support the title of heroine.
Although the French actress Isabelle Carré is dazzling, her performance is still immature. Although the heroine Shimizu Misa in "Eel" dares to act in anything, her acting skills are average. Instead, it is the heroine Cathy of "Don't Eat" brought by Luc Besson.
·Burke has the highest reputation for winning the award.
Kathy Burke is not a professional actor, but actually a director. She looks like a bloated sack, but she has a lot of works and is somewhat famous in Europe.
The award was ultimately awarded to Kathy Burke.
Su Changqing was not convinced by this. It was not because Kaji Meiko and Ken Takakura won the Best Actor that her possibility of winning the Best Actress was basically gone, but because Kathy Burke's performance was really bad.
That’s not to say that directors and actors can’t work together. Some of the best actors and directors in China include Jiang Wen, Xing Ye, foreign Robert Redford, Clint Eastwood, Kevin Costoner, etc.
, these people have nothing to say if they do this, after all, they do it really well.
The fact is that the acting ability of ordinary directors is really not as good as that of professional actors, and Kathy Burke is not the same. If you rely on your rich connections in the film industry for a long time, you will compete with actors for awards and force the professional award into a sentiment award. It is really
It's a bit boring.
Next up is the Cannes Best Director Award.
Therefore, there are separate awards for directors, so don’t stretch your hand too far based on prestige. Su Changqing and Feng Pengtong also encourage each other. Actors only get a few awards every year, so don’t grab them.
The judge for the Best Director Award is Gong Li, and the presenter is Danish actress Punila August, who has won the Best Actress Award at Cannes.
Su Changqing once thought that if he couldn't win the Palme d'Or, he could just win the Best Director Award. These are both powerful awards.
However, this idea seems increasingly unrealistic. The Best Director award originally went to Wang Sunglasses from "Happy Together", and he is indeed very capable.
The current judge awarding the awards is Chinese Gong Li, who happens to be his friend. Perhaps the reason why she was arranged is to be a little dramatic and facilitate communication.
It seems that this award will basically not change.
