Chapter 149 Who is the final winner of the Palme d'Or?
As a series of awards came to an end, it was finally time to award the most anticipated Palme d'Or.
Who will win the prize?
Who is the final winner?
Including Jia Zhangke and Tang Ze, all directors who have not won a major award breathed a sigh of relief.
I clenched my fists, listening with anxiety and excitement.
At this time, Robert said: "Oh, I think this winner is really surprising."
"Of course, what I mean is not that he cannot win the award, but that he is too young."
"Maybe it's because of this that others are willing to give him the title of genius?"
At this point, the answer is self-evident.
Everyone looked at Tang Ze with a variety of emotions including envy, jealousy, confusion, powerlessness, etc.
Suddenly, Tang Ze became the focus of the audience, and people's eyes were fixed on him.
Until Robert pronounced his name completely:
"The winner of the final Palme d'Or is Good Will Hunting. Congratulations to its director Karasawa!"
People clapped their hands in amazement.
Incredible!
Awesome!
The youngest Palme d'Or in history was born.
At only 21 years old, he completely surpassed the 26-year-old Steven Soderbergh, who won the Palme d'Or.
"Genius Tang! Genius Tang!"
I don’t know who took the lead, but as if to witness this historic moment, they started chanting Tang Ze’s name.
After a while, almost everyone in the venue shouted Tangze's name, which was deafening.
Accompanied by thunderous applause, Chinese reporters rushed to record this moment.
"May 25, 2008, 16:23 minutes and 36 seconds in the afternoon."
"A Chinese film wizard is being witnessed by history."
After more than a minute, people stopped shouting, but the applause did not stop, as if calling Tang Ze, it is time to get the glory that belongs to him.
"What a dick, come on stage, you deserve it." Zhou Jielun punched Tang Ze in the chest.
Liu Yifei was even more excited and kissed Tang Ze on the cheek under the watchful eyes of everyone.
When she came back to her senses, she looked around with a guilty conscience.
Fortunately, at this moment, people regard kissing from beauties as one of Tang Ze's honors and don't pay much attention to it.
After all, there were even sounds of love at the scene.
Chen Guhuan patted Tang Ze on the shoulder: "Well done, our country has finally produced another famous director."
Zhang Hanyu said with a smile: "Director Tang is already extraordinary, don't forget me, Mr. Zhang!"
Amid everyone's congratulations, Tang Ze walked up to the podium and received the Palme d'Or trophy from Robert.
Robert gave Tang Ze a thumbs up and handed him the microphone: "Tell me your thoughts, our Palme d'Or winner Genius Tang."
Tang Ze took the microphone and said with a smile: "My thoughts, I just want to thank all the creators who accompanied me to complete the movie "Good Will Hunting"."
"Including cinematographer Liu Ying, assistant directors Wen Yishi, Guo Fan, assistant Su Lun, outstanding actors Zhou Jielun, Liu Yifei, teacher Chen Gaoxuan and Zhang Hanyu, etc."
"I would also like to thank the land of China that allowed me to complete this film, the corresponding investors, and the audiences who supported me..."
"In short, there are too many people to thank. Some of them may not be here today, but they will always be a member of "Good Will Hunting"."
"I'm done, thank you!"
"Is this over?" Robert showed a confused expression, and then looked down:
"Do you hope that Genius Tang will accept the award and step down now?"
Someone immediately shouted below: "I don't hope, always thank you for coming, thank you for leaving. It's too cliché."
"Genius Tang, can you tell me something else?"
"Yeah, tell me something interesting."
"What did you say?" Tang Ze smiled.
"For example, how do you feel about becoming the youngest Palme d'Or winner in history?" Robert answered, and then shivered:
"Another example, let me share with you how to become a genius like you."
Karasawa shrugged:
"Actually, I don't think I am a genius."
This familiar opening statement immediately made some Chinese people and reporters cough.
Here we go again, an ordinary Tang talent.
Later, Tang Ze really started his famous speech again.
Various examples of the fact that he is not a genius.
The general meaning is that he, Tangze, is at best a talent.
Of course, this kind of humility has become a joke in China, but in the eyes of foreigners, it is Tang Ze's self-effacing attitude, which is even more admirable.
Being so young, yet so devoid of vanity, he is indeed someone who can make a movie of the quality of "Good Will Hunting".
Later, Tang Ze got down to the topic:
"Actually, the lack of genius is not the basis of a person's excellence."
"If you want to know the secret of my ability to produce good works, then I will tell you now."
Tangze raised a finger: "One word can describe it, temperament!"
Everyone was a little confused after hearing this.
What the hell kind of explanation is this.
With a good temperament, can he be as awesome as the genius Tang?
Even the Chinese don’t believe it and think Tang Ze is talking nonsense.
Robert pursed his lips and said: "Genius Tang, do you mean that if you want to make a good movie, it mainly depends on your temperament?"
"That's right!"
Tang Zezheng'er Ba Jing said: "Temperament refers not only to the comprehensive performance of a person's inner and outer appearance, but also a magnetic field that is always released by his environment."
"Why do you say that? You will know the experience and living environment of those famous directors."
"Why do some war-torn and poor places always tend to breed better realist themes?"
"Why do rich and developed places always have more imaginative science fiction masters?"
"The reason is that a special environmental aura gave birth to these cultural treasures."
"Those who have studied me will know that the movies I have made tend to be more inspirational and inspiring."
"Why?"
Tang Ze did not answer directly, but looked at a Chinese: "Can you answer?"
The Chinese people immediately understood what Tang Ze meant and said excitedly: "Because our country is at a critical moment, a moment when national self-confidence is gradually flourishing."

Tang Ze nodded: "Yes! Just as he said."
"China's pursuit of a high-spirited spirit has always influenced me."
"It makes me subconsciously want to make movies that people are more interested in and want to gain strength."
"This explanation should be understandable to everyone, right?"
People immediately said: "Yes!"
Tang Ze smiled and said: "So, temperament is very important."
"The inner spirit and appearance it contains will affect a person's judgment."
"If you want to make a good photo, find the soil that can bring you a special temperament and absorb the relevant nutrients."
"Just like what the previous Best Actor winner Mr. Chen Kuang said."
"Start from reality and start from the lives of the people at the lowest level."
"You must learn to be good at discovery and integration in order to produce excellent works."
"It is impossible to create a true classic by standing high or relying only on some superficial movie-watching experience."
"I'm done, thank you!"
"Pa bang bang..."
At this moment, people no longer followed the atmosphere and applauded sincerely.
"That's so well said!"
Some people lamented.
"Yes, this is the creative attitude that a good director should have."
"Alas!" Jia Zhangke couldn't help but sigh after listening to Tang Ze's speech.
There is indeed a reason why Tang Ze won the award.
A director who can understand the need to return to the bottom level to shoot a work must be a good director.
This is what Jia Zhangke himself did.
It's a pity that he may not have Tang Ze's ability to directly penetrate the essence.
If you lose, you lose.
The important thing is that he can no longer regard himself as a senior.
Treating Tang Ze with a guidance attitude is actually not based on reality.
With Karasawa stepping down, the 61st Cannes Film Festival came to an end with Robert's speech.
Some things are over, and some are not.
The reporters fixed the final image of Tang Ze on stage and sent the report to China.
