At the beginning of the closing ceremony, major media outlets gave a preview of the event through newspapers.
Journalists from China, in particular, are the most eager to report.
"Who will win the Palme d'Or? Israel? Bilishi? France? Hollywood? Or China?"
“Currently, some of the most highly rated works include Dancing with Bashir by Israeli director Ari Forman, and The Silence of Lorna by the Dardenne brothers, who were the current double Palme d’Or winners.”<

"The Legend of Christmas by local French director Arnold Desplessin, and Synecdoche from New York by Hollywood genius Charlie Kaufman."
"As well as "Twenty-Four Cities" by Chinese director Jia Zhangke, and "Good Will Hunting" directed by Tang Ze."
The media’s predictions, except for specific works.
For these works, the corresponding directors rated the stars that may win.
For example, a movie with 8 stars may win the Palme d'Or, Jury Prize, Best Director, etc.
In the eyes of Chinese people, the Palme d'Or rating of "Good Will Hunting" is only 6 stars, while "Tale of 24" has 7 stars.
Needless to say, he didn't even get a star for Best Director.
It seems that most people in China are not optimistic about Tangze after all.
Tangze didn't mind either. Taking advantage of the last wave of popularity in Cannes, he had already directed people in China to start promoting "Good Will Hunting".
One of them is to launch a vote on the Tianze official website.
"Good Will Hunting" can win the Palme d'Or.
Won the Jury Prize, Jury Prize and other Jury Prizes.
Won the Best Director Award, Screenplay Award and other awards voted 3.
You won’t get any prizes by voting 4.
At this time, Tangze's appeal on the Internet was reflected.
Four options, a total of more than 2 million people voted.
No matter what age group these independent voters voted for, some people were shocked.
Some celebrities often like to claim that they have tens of millions of fans.
In fact, of the so-called tens of millions, it would be good to have 1% or 2% active.
Most netizens just have a collection mentality and occasionally read other people’s news for fun.
A person like Tangze who can mobilize so many people in a short period of time is well-deserved to be at the top of the class.
For a behind-the-scenes director to achieve such popularity, it must be difficult for other directors to balance it.
Some people even think that Karasawa has lost the solemnity and mystery of the director's profession.
Among the four options, after all, Karasawa was the most staunch fan, with 83% voting for 1.
Those who vote 4 are not even 1%.
This kind of answer makes some directors uncomfortable.
Then I thought about it and found it funny.
It's just a meaningless private vote. People voted 1. Will the Cannes judges really give him the Palme d'Or?
And so many people think that Tang Ze can win the Palme d'Or. If Tang Ze doesn't get it by then, it depends on whether you still have the nerve.
Back in Cannes, major directors and actors were taking their seats on the closing red carpet.
When Tang Ze and Liu Yifei entered, the flashlights flashed alternately.
The media has paid the most attention to him.
When a reporter saw Tang Ze’s impressive temperament, he couldn’t help but write:
"Tang Ze in a suit and tie and Liu Yifei in a fiery red dress walked into Cannes, really like a couple of gods."
"With his incomparable magnanimity and generous and humble smile, Tang Ze is like a winner in life."
On this occasion, under the halo of Tang Ze.
In China, Zhou Jielun and Chen Puhuan, who should have been the targets of media pursuit, are instead like foils.
There is no way, Tangze's appearance and temperament do give people an indescribable charm.
Many people took the initiative to look here because of his entrance.
Gradually, relevant personnel took their seats one by one.
After Sean Penn finished his closing speech, the awards ceremony officially began.
The person who walked up to the podium to present the award was Robert De Niro, a somewhat gentlemanly and elegant old Italian man.
Tang Ze was deeply impressed by him, and the later "Joker", which was completely based on plot, was considered one of his favorite movies.
This old man plays a talk show host.
Tang Ze originally thought it was a character design, but now that he spoke, Tang Ze thought that maybe his personality was like this:
"OK! I think everyone can't wait for a long time and wants to experience the whipping of the soul. Let's do it right now."
Amid the laughter of everyone, Robert said:
"The winner of Un Certain Regard for Best Picture is "Tupan," congratulations!"
People immediately followed and applauded.
But they also know the meaning of this kind of award, it is a kind of comfort and there is no need to envy them.
Several small prizes were awarded later, but they did not attract much attention.
It wasn't until the Best Screenplay Award was awarded to the two Dardenne brothers for "The Silence of Lorna" that there was a burst of boos.
Even these two powerful people only won the screenwriting award. It seems that the ending of the Palme d'Or will be unexpected.
Subsequently, the Best Actress Award was given to the actress Bassey in "Crossing the Line".
Although Liu Yifei didn't have high hopes, he still couldn't avoid being disappointed.
Tang Ze comforted him secretly: "It's okay, it's just the first time. We will have countless opportunities in the future."
"You will win the prize one day."
"Hmm!"
It's the turn of the best actor.
In "Good Will Hunting", Chen Xihuan and Zhang Hanyu couldn't help but breathe heavily.
Tangze applied for the Actor Award for both of them.
He didn't apply for it himself. Firstly, he was too young, and secondly, he was not interested in acting awards for the time being.
The two of them have a lot of roles, so being one of the male protagonists is not a problem.
Of course, Tang Ze actually has no hope for this award.
It is not impossible to win two prizes for one piece, but the possibility is very low.
This is not only a consideration of acting skills, but also other aspects.
However, when Robert read out the names of the winners, Tangze was surprised.
"The winners of the Best Actor Award are Benicio Del Toro in "Che Guevara" and Chen Kuang in "Good Will Hunting."
Tangze was stunned: "Did we win the prize?"
"Yes, yes!" Zhou Jielun and Liu Yifei were very excited:
"I didn't expect it to be a double yolk egg!"
"Tangze, you are great!"
After confirming that this was true, Tang Ze immediately said to Chen Kuanghuan: "Teacher Chen Kuanghuan, congratulations!"
Zhang Hanyu was slightly disappointed, but he also congratulated Chen Xiang: "Congratulations on winning the Best Actor at Cannes, you deserve it!"
Chen Kuang took a deep breath, feeling very uneasy inside.
I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it...
He is now very grateful that Jiang Wen persuaded him to act in "Good Will Hunting".
What more can veteran actors like them ask for?
These are just these rare and hard-to-find prizes.
For this reason, Chen Kuang solemnly said to Tang Ze: "Director Tang, thank you. If there is a play of yours in the future, just call your name and I will definitely participate."
Tang Ze nodded without saying much: "Hurry up and receive the award, the third Chinese best actor."
On the stage, Chen Kuang held the trophy and delivered a speech.
Roughly some words of thanks.
Among them, he thanked Tangze three times, and it was obvious that he was really happy.
The pursuit of art to this point can be said to have completed its merits.
Finally, Tang Ze was quite pleased with Chen Kuang's closing words:
"I used to think that when it comes to acting, it's enough to act well and act realistically."
"But Director Tang taught me that only by starting from reality and starting from the real people at the bottom can we find the true meaning of a character."
"Thank you!"
Since then, the third Chinese Cannes Best Actor was born.
This moment of great historical significance was engraved in the spotlight.
