After three more awards, it was time for the Best Screenplay Award.
After the French host with a beard on the stage made some opening remarks, he invited the award presenter to the stage. It was Jeanne Nicholl, a French rose who had been in contact with Chen Feng before.
"Hello everyone, I am honored to be the presenter of the Best Screenplay Award this time. As we all know, the script is the cornerstone of a movie, and a good movie must have a good script..."
Jenny spoke for two or three minutes before ending her opening remarks. This method is very common at the Cannes awards ceremony. Previously, an old man came on stage as an award guest and spoke for five or six minutes. In the end, the host couldn't stand it anymore and went up.
Stopping it is the only way to get the awards ceremony on track.
"Okay, now please let the judges announce the winner of this year's Best Screenplay Award."
Jenny stretched out her hand and pointed to the rows of judges sitting in the far left corner of the podium.
A bald judge picked up the microphone, stood up from his seat, and announced directly: "The winner of this year's Best Screenplay Award is Feng Chen, and his script is "Juno."
The live broadcast camera immediately showed where Chen Feng was sitting.
Although Chen Feng was a little surprised, he quickly reacted and stood up from his seat. He was a little surprised to win this award, but he was not particularly surprised. After all, in theory, as long as the film screenwriters entered the main competition unit
There is a possibility of winning. And he is one of them.
The reason why it is a bit surprising is that among the 20 films shortlisted this time, "Juno" is not very popular for the Palme d'Or. At every Cannes Film Festival, there is only one Palme d'Or, which is the Best Picture Award. Other winners
The only award is the Silver Palm.
Whether you can win the Palme d'Or is generally related to several awards such as Best Cinematography and Best Screenplay.
The other thing is the issue of public relations in advance.
In fact, these film awards can be publicized in advance. Although it is not a direct bribe, you can let more people see your film in advance, or promote it in the local Cannes media to attract more people's attention.
Your film will have a certain degree of influence on public opinion, which will in turn affect the judges.
But Chen Feng did not do this. He himself did not do much beforehand. Neither the distributor nor the producer of the movie "Juno" conducted any public relations or even publicity.
As a result, Chen Feng won a Best Screenplay Award not long after the show started, which was really surprising.
"My dear, you won the prize!" Miranda slowed down a beat, stood up, and hugged Chen Feng with excitement on her face.
"Congratulations, Chen Feng." Emily also came over and hugged Chen Feng, followed by Marcia.
After hugging the three of them, Chen Feng walked towards the award podium.
Soon Chen Feng stepped onto the podium, and Jenny Nicoll stepped forward to kiss him. Although Chen Feng was a little uncomfortable, he still cooperated. After all, it was a global live broadcast.
Jenny Nicoll didn't do anything too affectionate. She quickly handed him the certificate tied with a red ribbon in her hand and said "congratulations" to him with a smile. Chen Feng said
"Thank you", he took the certificate and stood in front of the podium.
Only certificates will be awarded on-site. After the award ceremony, you can collect the trophy because it needs to be engraved on-site.
At this time, there was a burst of joy on the scene. At first, everyone may not know that Chen Feng is the Chen Feng from "The Sound of Silence", but after all, he made a lot of noise when he walked on the red carpet. In addition, the big screen showed
Many people recognize Chen Feng's handsome face.
Many people stood up from their seats and applauded and cheered for him, except for the whistles and screams. Fortunately, the people who could come in here were all self-reliant and did not do anything too vulgar.
But this shows that Chen Feng's popularity is really high now. It would be impossible for any other screenwriter to win this award to receive such high courtesy at the scene.
"thank you all!"
Chen Feng stood on the award podium and looked at the audience, clearly seeing this. This kind of scene is really normal for him now.
He first expressed his gratitude to those who were applauding and cheering at the scene. After the applause gradually died down, he continued to speak in French: "Winning this award is a surprise to me. The script of the movie "Juno" has a structure that I think
It is relatively simple, but its creativity is relatively novel. I think the other selected movie scripts are also very good. I can win the award this time, I can only say that I am lucky. Here I am very grateful to Marcia, she will
"Juno" has been made into a good movie. At the same time, I am also very grateful to the entire crew of "Juno". Everyone worked hard to achieve a good reputation for the movie "Juno". Thank you to all the Cannes judges for your review of the movie.
, and recognition of myself. Thank you."
At the end of the sentence, Chen Feng raised his hand holding the certificate to the audience, and then walked off the stage. There was another round of thunderous applause. Chen Feng delivered his acceptance speech in fluent French and won almost all the awards.
The scene showed the goodwill of the Chinese people.
Chen Feng's Best Screenplay Award is not a very important award among the several awards in Cannes. It is only because Chen Feng is a big singer that it seems like he won the Palme d'Or.
After several more awards, it was finally the Best Actress award's turn.
Because of the rules, it is different from the Oscars. For the Best Actress award at the Academy Awards, there are generally only four or five candidates at most.
But Cannes has 20 films selected for the main competition, which means there are 20 people for the Best Actress Award.
Undoubtedly, the suspense is very high. The heroines in the twenty movies are likely to win this award.
The one who presented the award was a well-known director from the country. He wore glasses and had a big nose unique to the people of the country. He was very straightforward and did not talk as much nonsense as other award presenters. He held the certificate to be awarded to the winner in his hand.
, tied with a red ribbon. After making some opening remarks, he reached out and pointed towards the judges' seats in the row of seats in the corner of the podium. A judge over there stood up with a microphone and announced directly.
Said: "The winner for Best Actress is Miranda Hall. She starred in the movie "Juno." Congratulations to her."
The live broadcast camera immediately turned to Miranda. Her eyes widened at first, and then she stood up from her seat excitedly. Chen Feng and Miranda beside her also quickly stood up.
"I won a prize! My dear, I won a prize! Thank you!" Miranda looked very excited and hugged him tightly.
Although she had already done enough mental preparation before coming to attend the award ceremony, secretly telling herself to be calm if she won the award, and even more so if she didn't win, she still couldn't help but feel overwhelmed and excited when the event came.
Very.
This is the best actress crown at the Cannes International Film Festival. In terms of the gold content of the award, it is not much worse than the Oscar. To a certain extent, in terms of international recognition, the Cannes Award is even more recognized by people in the film circle.
Previously, when she won the Academy of Motion Picture Arts Award for Best Actress in her home country, she was not as excited as she is now.
"Okay! Let's go on stage to receive the award! Don't forget to give your acceptance speech."
Chen Feng said something in her ear and pushed her away slightly.
Miranda finally regained her composure a little at this time. She immediately hugged Emily on the other side, and then hugged Marcia. Then she walked towards the podium.
With a smile on his face, he took the certificate from the award-presenting guest and stood on the podium.
"Thank you! Thank you everyone! It's really great for me to get this award! It means a lot. Because my mother is from China, but she has always been against me acting. Now I got this in Cannes
The award should be of great significance to me and my mother. Mom, I did it. Thank you for your encouragement and encouragement all the time, I love you. At the same time, I am very grateful to my boyfriend Chen Feng, he is
To the screenwriter of the movie "Juno," and to Marcia, the director of this show, my friend Emily, I love you. Thank you, thank you to the judges, and thank you to Cannes!"
Miranda's acceptance speech was all spoken in French, and she spoke it very well, which undoubtedly made most of the Chinese people at the scene very satisfied. Many people at the scene stood up and applauded her. However, Miranda was undoubtedly very satisfied with her acceptance speech.
Her mother had a deep resentment against her acting in the first place, and she has publicly spoken out against her mother more than once.
This made Chen Feng dumbfounded. At the same time, he could understand why she never took him to meet her family. She and her mother couldn't deal with each other, and the family relationship was a bit tense. She didn't want to go back, let alone bring her boyfriend with her.
Went back together.
Miranda's acceptance speech was also relatively brief. After she finished speaking, her mood gradually calmed down, which made many people look at her. Generally speaking, she had the aura of a movie star.
Field. This is very rare.
Returning to her seat, Miranda hugged Chen Feng tightly again, and then hugged Emily and Marcia to celebrate.
After award after award, including the Best Director Award, it is a pity that Marcia did not win this award. Finally, this year's awards ceremony has come to an end.
The most critical award, the Palme d'Or for Best Film, has been announced.
The guest of honor this time is the chairman of the jury, who is also a highly respected veteran director in the Italian and European film circles.
He held the award certificate in his hand this time, and after three or four minutes of opening remarks, he directly announced the final winner of the Palme d'Or: "The winner of this year's Best Picture is "Juno," congratulations to them."
This time, Chen Feng, Marcia, Miranda and Emily stood up almost at the same time. This was an honor for all four of them.
The four people hugged each other happily to celebrate, and almost everyone in the scene stood up, applauded and cheered for them.
Winners of the Palme d'Or basically have this ritual of giving a standing ovation to the guests present. This is not only a sign of their respect for the film, but also a sign of respect for the jury of the Cannes Film Festival.
This time the four of them walked to the awards podium together. In fact, Chen Feng and Emily, especially Emily, could go or not. After all, she was only a supporting actress in it, and she really didn't have many roles.
But this time she came here just to gain popularity and win awards, so she definitely wanted to go up. She had already gone up, and it was hard for screenwriter Chen Feng to sit still and not go up. We could only go up together.
Of course, it was director Marcia who received the award. In fact, she had already won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival once before, and this was her second time. Her achievements have to be envied, but you can't deny that she
He is really very talented. With the same script, different directors will produce completely different movies.
Therefore, the director is the most critical factor in determining the quality of a movie.
"Thank you! Thank you! To be able to win the Palme d'Or again, I can only say that this is God's gift to me. I am very grateful to the judges of Cannes, thank Chen Feng for his good script, and thank the entire crew for their efforts..."
Marcia was still a little excited and spoke eloquently for five or six minutes before ending her speech.
This time, Chen Feng, Miranda and Emily made the backdrop together. After Marcia finished her speech, they all bowed slightly to the audience and then left the stage.
"It's really great! We really got a bumper harvest this time."
After sitting back in their seats, Chen Feng, Miranda and Marcia were very calm, but Emily was very excited. This is understandable. She can also say that she has achieved a great harvest this time. Not only did she benefit from Chen Feng's popularity,
He also successfully won the Palme d'Or.
After the Palme d'Or was awarded, two more awards were awarded, and this time the Cannes International Film Festival Awards Ceremony came to an end.
Of course, this is just the end of the live broadcast ceremony. In fact, for most people who came to attend this award ceremony, this is just the beginning.
No, soon a large circle of people surrounded Chen Feng, greeting him and chatting with him.
With great difficulty, Chen Feng and Marcia, the three women, squeezed out of the crowded crowd and went to the organizer to receive the trophy.
Under the guidance of the staff, they came to the organizer's work area, and Chen Feng and the others successfully received the trophy.
It is based on a 1 kilogram crystal and is inlaid with an olive branch composed of 19 leaves. The Palme d'Or is golden and made of gold. The other awards are Silver Palms and is made of silver.
After Chen Feng got the Silver Palm trophy, he just looked at it for a moment and put it in a box. Miranda couldn't put it down. However, when she saw the Palme d'Or that Marcia had received, she immediately felt that her Silver Palm was
Somewhat less fragrant.
So, Miranda immediately went up and took the Palme d'Or from Marcia, and couldn't put it down for a while. In fact, in principle, this award belongs to the film producer, that is, Summit Entertainment, which is equivalent to belonging to Chen Feng, and to Miranda.
, rather than director Marcia.
However, neither Chen Feng nor Miranda was obviously embarrassed to ask Marcia for help.
But Marcia was open-minded. After all, she already had a collection at home. She smiled and said to Miranda: "If you like it, then you can collect this trophy, as long as the boss has no objection."
"Really?" Miranda looked at Marcia with surprise.
Marcia smiled and nodded: "I already have one at home. You can't be greedy."
Miranda knew that she was doing this entirely for Chen Feng's sake. She was very grateful and stepped forward to hug Marcia and said, "Thank you, Marcia. This award means a lot to me."
Marcia could only smile and nod: "Of course, I know."
