Chapter 390 Fulfill Your Wish 1/2
Many people were listless just now, but after the awards ceremony, everyone became energetic. Although the film crew at the scene knew that they would win the award, they didn't know what award they would receive. Besides, the gap between the awards was very big.
Big, big.
What I want to say here is that before the closing of the film festival, films that can win awards will receive official notification to participate in the closing ceremony.
At the beginning, a small award was awarded. This award was for the best short film. I saw that a director from Switzerland, Wen Gesler, won it. No one took this award too seriously. After all, there were very few short films participating in the film festival. Besides, this director
You are still very young and you still have a long way to go before you can make a good movie!
Next, several small awards were awarded, which Zhao Hong didn't feel much about. For example, the Camera d'Or was awarded to a French film "Black and White", and the Artistic Contribution Award was awarded to Swinnick, the director of the French-Swiss co-production "Sacrifice"
West, best animated feature went to Kashatgolokhov.
When she heard that the actress award was going to be presented, Aunt Mei felt as if she had been electrocuted. She nervously watched the award presenter's next announcement.
Zhao Hong saw the expectant look in her eyes, and he felt that he had little hope for the award. The main reason was that her performance was still a bit of a natural performance. As for her acting skills, Rong Shao was still far behind Lao Zhang.
But he still gave her a cheering look. Now Mei Gu felt as if she was waiting for trial.
The rest of the crew gave her encouraging looks, which made her feel a lot more relaxed. In fact, she didn't have any hopes at the beginning, but how could she not have any expectations on set?
It's like a few good friends playing cards together. Everyone says it's fun, but it's just for fun. In fact, everyone hopes they will win!
When the award presenter announced that the three names of Barbara Sukowa, Rosa Luxemburg and Fernanta Torres would no longer exist, she was very disappointed. You must know that this is the closest she has come to Cannes.
Opportunity, I don’t know when the next time will be.
As a result, the actresses above did not hear a lot of their speeches clearly, and just followed the crowd and applauded.
Seeing her forced smile, Zhao Hong comforted her and then gave her a cheering gesture. In fact, he was a little nervous himself.
Then one or two minor awards were awarded, and the International Film Critics Award was awarded to Andrei Tarkovsky, the director of the film "The Sacrifice".
Zhao Hong saw Andrei Tarkovsky smiling a little reluctantly. He came here just to win the highest award in Cannes, but now that he has won a minor award, it is a bit impossible to win the highest award.
In fact, the film festival is just a game of arranging seats and dividing the seats!
There are many aspects to consider, and you have to try to take care of all aspects. Of course, you can do it as you please, but the reputation of your film festival will be ruined.
The Special Jury Prize was given to a French film. This is just one less word than the Special Jury Prize, but there is a huge difference. One is the second prize for a film at the Cannes Film Festival, and the other is equivalent to a consolation prize.
Awards were given out one after another, and Zhao Hong ignored the awards that she didn't care too much about. She just applauded and congratulated the winners after they finished their acceptance speeches.
When the awards for male actors were presented, Rong Shao and Lao Zhang both sat upright unconsciously and looked extremely nervous.
Zhao Hong was also very nervous. He still hoped that one of them would win the award. The main reason was that their wonderful performance deserved the award.
When the award presenters joked together and announced that the winner of the Best Actor was Michelle Brown of "Evening Gown", both Rong Shao and Lao Zhang seemed to have been drained of all their strength and felt unusually disappointed.
But when the award presenter paused and then mentioned Leslie Cheung from "Farewell My Concubine", Rong Shao felt as if he had gone from hell to heaven.
He immediately stood up and gave Lao Zhang, who was sitting closest to him, a big hug, and then hugged everyone on the crew one by one.
"You are the best!" Zhao Hong said this when hugging him. He felt that this award was truly deserved. Mr. Rong almost gave his life for this movie. What else could be better than treating the movie like this?
What about sincerity?
Although two people share this award, it is enough. You must know that Asian films have made a breakthrough from zero to one in this award, which is destined to be a glorious record recorded in history.
Zhao Hong felt that this movie was made in time. It would not have been so shocking if it had been two or three years later when fifth-generation directors began to become famous internationally.
He is still a bit ambitious. If his classmates have won a lot of prizes at the three major European film festivals, but he still has nothing to show for it, would he be shameless?
It is said that Michelle Brown felt like he had killed a dog. When it was first announced that he had won the Best Male Pig Knuckle, he was very happy, but when another person got the same award, he always felt a little bit uncomfortable in his heart.
.
But he was convinced because he had also seen Mr. Rong's performance. Deep down, he felt that his performance was inferior to others.
After his brief speech, he handed the microphone to Rong Shao, who began to speak. When he spoke, his voice was magnetic, powerful, and gentle. His demeanor made the filmmakers present couldn't help but nod.
He first thanked Zhao Hong and the rest of the crew, then thanked his wife, and finally thanked the organizers of the film festival, and then praised the film festival a few words. His speech was completed.
When Lao Zhang saw Mr. Rong in high spirits, he felt very uncomfortable and had a slight sense of loss.
At this time, he felt a hand, turned his head and saw that it was Zhao Hong. Seeing Zhao Hong's comforting eyes, he felt a little comfort in his heart, and at the same time he also had the courage to come again next time.
When Zhao Hong heard Mr. Rong delivering his acceptance speech in standard Mandarin, he was filled with emotion. Mr. Rong was really a very patriotic person.
After Mr. Rong came down, he hugged the trophy tightly in his arms, as if he was afraid he was going to run away!
Next, the Director Award was awarded. This award was given to a Hollywood movie "Eight Hours Away", whose director was Martin Scorsese.
This brother said a lot of thanks above. His film is going to compete for Oscars next year, so participating in film festivals in Europe is mainly to build momentum.
Now there are only two awards. They are the Special Jury Prize and the Palme d'Or. They are two important awards. At this time, the atmosphere of the film festival has become tense.
Zhao Hong is also very excited. He doesn't know if he can win another award now. The main reason is that their movie has already won a best actor, which makes it more difficult to win the next award.
Next was the Special Jury Award, which was announced after the award presenter made a joke and announced the title of the film "A Life in War."
Roland Joffe, the director of "In War", was a little disappointed when he heard this result. He knew that the Palme d'Or had left him. Although this was the second award at the film festival, people would only pay attention to the first and second prizes.
How can the popularity be comparable to the first place!
After hearing this, Zhao Hong felt a little nervous, but she was already 50% sure that she would win the best crown, but anything was possible before the results came out.
Roland Joffe just gave a brief acceptance speech and then left the stage. Mainly because he was in a low mood. He came to participate with the hope of winning the highest award, but things went against his expectations, which made him unable to feel disappointed.
Then came the arrival of the last award of the film festival, and it was the most important award, so the atmosphere was very solemn, even the award presenters spoke a bit slowly.
Zhao Hong felt that he hadn't felt like this for a long time, and his heart beat a little faster. You must know that he has lived a leisurely life since he was a child, and he has a kind of easy-going attitude. But now he realizes that this is because he has not met the one he cares about.
In the case of things, after all, I am still a layman and cannot achieve the high state of mind of a saint.
When he saw the award-winning guest opening the envelope to announce his name, he felt quite uneasy.
At this time, Andrei Tarkovsky, the director of the movie "The Sacrifice", was also heart-beating. His movie has only received a minor award so far, so he is still confident of winning this award.
You must know that his movies ranked first when rated by the venue catalogue!
Therefore, it seemed to him that this was a sure thing. Although he was very nervous, he still had a smile on his face. However, when the name of the movie was announced, his smile suddenly froze. This was really an announcement that made him disappointed.
Zhao Hong, on the other hand, was so happy that she almost flew into the air. Yes, she won the award for "Farewell My Concubine".
The person who presented the award in person this time was Sidney Pollack, chairman of the jury. After announcing the winning film, he said: "Farewell My Concubine deserves this award. I want to say here that although the other films are all excellent,
, but after watching the film, our jury has always believed that it is a classic among classics, so we awarded this award to it without any suspense."
At this time, Zhao Hong had already hugged the rest of the crew and Qiqi.
Qiqi felt like she was about to fly. Her brother Hong was so amazing. She knew he would definitely get this award. But who was more excited than Zhao Hong just now?
Zhao Hong felt like she had fulfilled her mission. It would have been a bit of a slap in the face if she didn't win the Palme d'Or for the filming. Fortunately, she exceeded the task. For Rong Shao to win this award, it must be a performance that surpasses the original version!
Zhao Hong was given thunderous applause as soon as he stepped onto the stage. Most of them were convinced, even Andrei Tarkovsky reluctantly applauded.
He is already extremely depressed. How can you reason with him if he gets a consolation prize for his movie?
Chapter completed!
