Chapter 496: The Cannes Film Festival is really good at organizing things.
Compared to the Oscars, Li Yi was very calm during the closing ceremony of the Cannes Film Festival.
The same is true for Chen Wen.
After all, he is familiar with Cannes!
This is not the first time I have won an award.
But others are different, such as Zhou Xing, who seems particularly nervous.
There is another frustrating aspect of the Cannes Film Festival, that is, it can basically be said that there is no so-called nomination for the awards.
That's not to say there isn't one. Being invited to the closing ceremony is equivalent to winning an award, but the specific award is unknown.
So, anything is possible.
The first award was the Golden Camera Award.
This award has nothing to do with Li Yi. Of course, relatively speaking, because there are very few awards at the film festival, every award is considered an important award.
The Golden Camera shortlist also includes films from the "Un Certain Regard" category.
The Golden Camera Award for Best Debut Film was ultimately awarded to a film from the Netherlands.
Well, Li Yi didn't know what it was about anyway.
In fact, the same is true for domestic audiences.
This award has been handed out, and for the next awards, it can be said that "The Truman Show" and "Su Yuan" are both likely to win.
Best Screenplay Award Presentation.
There was no pretense about calling for nominations or anything like that.
Instead, the awards were presented directly. When the presenter appeared on the stage, the audience watching the live broadcast and Li Yi almost had a premonition.
Because the person presenting the award is Xue Kaishan!
This is not very good news.
Although the Palme d'Or does not stipulate that a film can only win one award, most of the time, the Cannes Film Festival cannot escape the bad habit of eating too much pork. Therefore, basically, if you win one, the probability of winning the award later will be lower.
Xue Kaishan smiled and announced the winner of the Best Screenplay Award, without any surprise, double yolk!
What's even more annoying is that Xue Kaishan directly named two movies that won this award.
""The Truman Show"! Li Yi!"
""Suyuan"! Li Yi!"
It’s obvious that he is causing trouble!
In other words, it's a gimmick.
Two movies won the same award at the same time, which is a shame!
"66666!"
“Cannes really knows how to organize things!”
"Two movies have one award, and they both have the same screenwriter. This is really interesting!"
“Awesome Cannes!”
"This double egg yolk must be given a thumbs up!"
"Even the best screenwriter's gold content is still a bit low. If the best director and both yolks are given to a dog director, then it will be called a real job."
"Who says it's not the case? If you can, just get a double yolk for Best Director! One person wins the same award twice, haha!"
"Cannes should be generous. It's a gimmick. The Best Screenplay Award seems stingy! It has to be Best Director or Best Actor and Best Actress!"
"Why don't you say Palme d'Or?"
"Look at Director Dog's expression, hahaha!"
Domestic netizens were overjoyed when they saw it.
When Li Yi heard Xue Kaishan read out two award-winning movies, the camera focused on Li Yi's face.
Li Yi was really confused for a moment.
He wouldn't be too surprised if "The Truman Show" won an award or "So Yuan" won an award.
But it would be a pain if two movies won the same award at the same time.
All I can say is that Cannes really knows how to play.
As expected, everyone at the scene burst into laughter while applauding!
Li Yi walked onto the stage and received two trophies from Xue Kaishan.
"Congratulations!"
"Thanks!"
Next comes the reserved program, the acceptance speech!
"Honestly, it's... surprising!"
"Hahaha!" The audience couldn't help but laugh.
I have to say that this time, the Cannes Film Festival jury has really gone too far.
Let me tell everyone blatantly that we are just doing a gimmick!
It was just the Best Screenplay Award. There was nothing much to say. Li Yi thanked him as usual and walked away!
I have to say that the Cannes Film Festival jury is really good at playing.
You see, a prize with double egg yolks directly leaves the suspense until the end.
Because I was invited to participate in the closing ceremony, I was sure to win an award. It can be said that a screenwriting award directly led to two films winning awards.
Then it is normal that the latter one is not given.
But similarly, it’s totally fine to give it later!
However, everyone soon became disappointed.
The Best Director Award goes to Double Yolk again. Unfortunately, there is no "The Truman Show" and no "Suwon"!
Naturally, there is no Li Yi either!
Then comes the best actress and best actor!
The importance of these two awards is beyond doubt.
It is a pity that the best actress in "The Truman Show" is almost non-existent, and the heroine in "Su Yuan" is Huang Yaqi, who is only eight years old. Although there is a certain probability, it is not high.
Sure enough, the Best Actress was awarded quickly, and nothing would happen without Li Yi and the others.
After missing out on Best Director and Best Actress, there are only three awards left.
Best Actor......
Although Chen Wen had won it, who the hell would think it was too much?
However, after all, he had won it, so he could still remain calm, but the actor Zhou Xing of "The Truman Show" couldn't remain calm at all.
After all, this is one of the three largest companies in Europe, and it’s very impressive.
For Zhou Xing, who has never won any awards, one can imagine the tension and expectations.
Domestic netizens stayed up late to watch the awards ceremony, and they were also looking forward to it at this moment.
Of course, when they think about it, it would be best if they could directly give all the awards to Chinese films.
However, what disappointed them was that the Best Actor award was still lukewarm.
Neither Chen Wen nor Zhou Xing got it.
"Isn't it? Are we really lonely?"
"Only for best screenwriter? How about a chicken show?"
"Does this count as shaking Li Yi a little bit?"
"After all, both films have been shortlisted, so it makes no sense not to give them a more important award."
"Not giving other awards is just a gimmick. It's really hard to say."
Soon, it came to the second prize in Cannes, second only to the Grand Jury Prize after the Palme d'Or.
After consecutively missing out on Best Director and Best Actor and Actor, Li Yi no longer had high expectations.
As expected, the Grand Jury Prize was announced, and there was nothing wrong with Li Yi's two films.
At this point, it would be a lie to say that I am not disappointed.
Although it is said that there is the best screenwriter, which is enough for "Sowon" to promote, but comparatively speaking, the gold content is still a little low.
And this also confirms the common practice that the three major film festivals are all divided, and generally a film can only win one award.
Finally it was the final turn for the Palme d'Or.
From a competitive perspective, there are twenty films theoretically nominated for the Palme d'Or.
Of course, there aren't actually that many.
However, as the three major film festivals in Europe and arguably the best developed Cannes Film Festival, there is no doubt about the gold content of the Palme d'Or.
Therefore, even though Li Yi had no expectations, he still felt inexplicably nervous when the award was about to be awarded.
