Is "The Unknown" an excellent, high-quality movie?
There is no doubt about it.
Yes.
But the more classic thing lies in the iron triangle of script, director, and actors.
Other post-production content such as editing and music are much inferior to other carefully polished movies.
But when the post-production team list came out, it was either Carlos or Yu Junhao...
The audience judges were relieved again.
It is really not easy for a crew that cannot afford to hire a big shot in post-production and two half-assed people to achieve this step.
But then again.
Are the production costs of "The Unknown" really tight?
It really doesn’t count.
Carlos has no money, but Yu Junhao still has some.
But this is destined to be just an award-winning film.
When it is estimated that the investment funds will not be recovered in the later stage, hiring a post-production team and a big shot is obviously a costly business.
Invite a little coffee.
It would be better for the two of them to do it themselves.
One of them has at least written many movies by himself, and the other is a singer and a major in fine arts, so he can really make a difference.
If there is more time to polish it, it may not be inferior to a large production team at all.
But that's enough.
In Carlos's words, "Our goal is not these awards, right?"
At the award ceremony, time passed slowly and quickly.
What's slow is that there are too many small awards.
But it really has nothing to do with "The Unknown", and it wasn't even nominated.
Not to mention that Carlos couldn't sit still, even the many viewers in China before the live broadcast couldn't sit still.
"..."
What they want to see is Yu Junhao, and they basically don’t know anyone else.
Fast is.
Halfway through the awards ceremony, it was finally the turn of the nominations for "The Unknown".
"Films nominated for the Best Screenplay Award at the 72nd Cannes Film Festival:
"Portrait of a Young Girl" Céline Sciamma (France)
"Pain and Glory" Pedro Almodovar (Spain)
"Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" Quentin Tarantino (Beautiful Country)
"The Unknown"·Carlos (France, China)"
The award presenters did not play tricks, but were quite serious. They whetted their appetites and announced the list of names.
"In the end, which lucky person with both strength and luck will win the Best Screenplay Award at the 72nd Cannes Film Festival..."
"Let's invite our old friend Carlos Zivkovic!"
The venue was silent for a moment, followed by sparse applause, and soon the whole place was cheering.
"Phew! Am I handsome now?"
"I mean, is there anything wrong with my appearance? My bow tie seems to be crooked. Can you help me straighten it out?"
"Oh! I found a few dandruff like snowflakes on my shoulders - my God, I shouldn't have chosen a pure black dress. If I had chosen a white dress, maybe there wouldn't be such an embarrassing moment. I
If you blow them off and get caught on camera, it will be embarrassing."
"Forget it, I mean, next to you, the spotlight will look dim on me anyway. The audience in front of the camera may not even care about me, let alone whether my bow tie is crooked or whether it is on my shoulders.
I have dandruff."
Yu Junhao smiled, "Are you afraid of being noticed by the audience, or are you worried about the award presenters? If I remember correctly... that was your former muse? Don't look at me like that, you mentioned it twice when you were drunk.
"
"Maybe?" Carlos looked uneasy.
The applause fell.
Carlos no longer paid attention to the bow tie, and put his middle finger on the nose pad in the middle of his glasses.
The camera zooms in.
Under the spotlight, Yu Junhao gave him a sincere and encouraging hug.
Whispering, "I think you can be more arrogant. After all, at this moment, you have defeated all the screenwriters present, and you are a well-deserved winner. Even if you see her again, you can be more confident."
After a Carlos-style self-persuasion, as Yu Junhao said,
"I am the winner, am I not?" Carlos lowered his head slightly and raised it slightly.
The road from the auditorium to the stage was not as long as he imagined.
The guest who presented the award was his "old lover".
At this moment, he didn't seem to be so resistant to this gorgeous girl in her thirties, who was involved in scandals and was one of the charming roses of France who had pursued and rejected each other.
Take a deep breath, shake hands magnanimously, receive blessings, accept the trophy, and let go of your inner discomfort.
He looked towards Yu Junhao, towards the camera, shook his head, clicked his tongue, and spoke.
"The trophy at the Cannes Film Festival... is not as heavy as I thought, I mean weight. But after receiving this trophy, I feel that my whole body is heavier, oh, I mean, I was still light and airy at first, but at this moment I
Stop!"
"Carlos Zivkovic... My name, I think many people know me. A movie geek who lacks vision, emotional intelligence, and some talent for light and shadow? Haha, it's really good, full of recognition
It’s a title, isn’t it?”
He shrugged.
"I'm very grateful to the jury for giving me a chance to be a movie geek. I mean, I will still choose to be a geek."
"I always believe that movies are multi-faceted and should not be limited to a certain core aesthetic."
"I mean, I hope you can give weirdos like me more opportunities to get to know you. You will find, Oh, the original angle of the movie, the original movie, can still present such a core soul, it is not dead
Yes, it is alive!"
"This is my first award. I don't think it will be the last one. I mean - I still have high ambitions for the Palme d'Or and Best Picture. I want to see whether the silver trophy in my hand is more important than the gold one."
The Palme d’Or trophy for Best Picture is heavy!”
His eyes and words were full of childish desire to share.
