my gilded age

Chapter 226 I am the best actor in Cannes, who the hell are you?

Two hours ago. . .

"Ladies! Gentlemen! We need to make a final decision now! There can be no further delay! Otherwise, this Cannes Film Festival will become a laughing stock around the world!"

Kusturica, as the chairman of the jury of this year's Cannes Film Festival, he really has a headache. He was originally full of momentum, but he really wanted to revive the European film atmosphere through this film festival. Now he simply wants to Open the sunroof!
There are only two hours left until the awards are presented, but there are still no results for several awards, what should I do?
It is really unbelievable. This time it is not because of work efficiency, but because the noise is too intense. Yes, it can only be called a noise, not a debate at all.

"The best film should go to "The Three Funerals of Escada"! This film is so humane..."

"No! I prefer "Dodge"! This film is very distinctive."

"Forget it, why don't you watch a Japanese movie, "Blow". I think this movie explores human nature more deeply!"

"Forget it, who doesn't know what's going on with the Japanese? They are just like that, indifferent, exclusive, and seem pretty good on the surface, but once something happens, haha... This is not a discussion of human nature at all, this is a discussion of human nature. A satire on Japanese society, but unfortunately, we are the Cannes Film Festival, understand?”

"What you say is simply...discrimination!"

"Hey, it's the Japanese who discriminate against people kidnapped in the Middle East. They are such guys...so, if the unlucky kidnapped people were beheaded, they themselves didn't want to save them. Who is to blame?"

It was so intense that the verbal conflict was nothing, as if it was about to start a fight.

The pressure comes from the outside world. During this year's Film Critics Week, they seemed to be working hard to express themselves. They published many outrageous comments, and their words were sharp and outrageous. Compared with Jiang Wen in previous years, What you say is even more powerful.

But how can these things affect us?

There must be no interference from outside public opinion. This is an unbreakable principle that Kusturica set with all the judges in the early stages of the formation of the jury.

The more favored it is by the outside world, the more serious we should discuss it.

The movie "Blow" was originally not very good, but later I found out that it was actually based on a real incident, and one of the prototypes of the kidnapped person named Nobuo Koda had been killed.

After clarifying this, everyone felt that this film still seemed to have depth, but after watching it again, they felt that it was indeed poorly shot.

Since it was adapted from real events, I didn’t dare to tell the truth. I wanted to satirize politics and Japanese nationality, but I didn’t dare to shout it out loud.

Scutulica can no longer tolerate everyone's continued debate. "The problem with "Blow" is huge. Can't we professionals even see this? This film should not be shortlisted for the competition at all."

After saying this, these few people stopped talking. Originally, the discussion between the two parties was evenly matched. Now that the chairman has spoken, the results will naturally come to fruition. Next, the Palme d'Or will be won by the Dardenne brothers' "The Child" and Wang Xiaoshuai's "Green Red". ", Tommy Lee Jones's "The Three Burials of Escada", and Jarmusch's "Broken Flower" were produced in these films.

The one who felt the most uncomfortable was Wu Yusen, because "The Best of Time", which he had previously admired very much, had been rejected. Everyone felt that this movie... was too easy to understand.

Fortunately, in the end, everyone decided to give the Palme d'Or to "The Child". The Dardenne brothers are French, which is more considerate of the emotions of the locals.

After that, the distribution of various awards began, such as the Grand Jury Prize and the Jury Prize. Not long after, it finally arrived at the Best Actor and Best Actress.

In fact, the Best Actor and Best Actress awards in Cannes are just actors, and it has never been said that they must be awarded to the protagonist. Although, in most cases, they are awarded to the protagonist of a movie, but There are no hard and fast rules.

This year, the best actors and actresses are the ones being debated the most.

"I like the couple in "Green Red" very much, especially this young man. Come and take a look. Let's take a look again. I picked out a few places." Hayek, a Latin beauty who could even fall flat while walking, At this time, Bai Shiqiu and Yuanyuan are highly respected.

In the jury room, of course you can watch the film, there is a slide projector and the film is shown.

"Everyone, look at this young man. Look, this is where he gives away shoes. Look at his face..."

Xiao Gen'er, played by Bai Shiqiu, was picking out shoes, that is, the pair of red high heels given to Qinghong. He picked out very carefully, but his face was very shy, and his cheeks were flushed.

Yes, if a young man buys high-heeled shoes, why not give them to girls?

The story of this drama took place in the 80s. In this era, how can a young man choose high heels?
Before Bai Shiqiu performed, he still called his father's phone number. The two of them chatted for a long time, which made the telecommunications company very happy.

There was no way, my father refused to say anything. He just said, "Why do you ask this thing?" I repeated it no less than 30 times. Finally, he finally said it.

Bai Shiqiu got what he wanted with this, and then coupled with the climate at that time, he was really cold, and the red on his cheeks was not from shyness, but from the cold.

The cold weather at that time made Bai Shiqiu, a man from the Northeast, almost unable to hold on and had to go home to enjoy the heating.

These Cannes judges don't know this, especially the female star Samar Hayek. She spends a long time in either Mexico or California, both of which are sunny all year round.

So, the actress emphasized one point.

"This is all love, love!"

A loving performance, that's what she thought anyway, and then continued to show the film she excerpted.

"Look, how far away this lens is, but you see, that girl doesn't know what's behind at all. She didn't look, but we can see it."

In the section going down the mountain, Xiaogener followed Qinghong, and the camera was far away at the time, going up the mountain on the opposite side, but Bai Shiqiu did not ignore this scene.

When Qinghong stopped, he also stopped, but his stop was different. He was a little panicked at first, but then, his body swayed slightly back and forth, very subtle, especially at such a distance. This subtle movement is almost impossible to capture with a camera.

But he was still like this, back and forth, back and forth.

"Don't you understand what this means? He wanted to hug his lover, but he didn't dare yet, so he had to do this. And what happened next? I think everyone knows, yes, he used force , he hurt her, but all I saw was love, he wanted to keep her, he had no other way, that's all."

Speaking of this, Samar Hayek, the sexy actress, couldn't help but burst into tears... She could swear to God that this time was fundamentally different from the crying in the soap operas she had acted in before.

"This is all love, all love. Maybe his method is wrong, but... what I see is a young man who is driven crazy by love. He, he... If this is acting, then he is simply the best in acting. God, I don’t want to believe that this was staged, I really don’t want to believe it, he’s just amazing.”

Under Ms. Hayek's narration, many judges shed tears.

The final ending of "Qing Hong" is that Xiao Gen'er was arrested for hurting Qing Hong. He was... The crime was very serious at the time, but luckily, Wang Xiaoshuai left a trail and finally got into Qing Hong's car and left. In this small ravine, there was a public trial and execution meeting. Xiao Gen'er's name appeared, but it didn't say what crime it was. It was just that the previous ones were all shot.

It's a very fuzzy treatment. It must be said that this technique is very powerful, and Bai Shiqiu also praised it, because the answer has already been said. The previous ones were all shot, so what can Xiaogen do?
The minimum is no period.

"Indeed! This performance really conquered me. Look at his expression before he did that evil act. It was not an evil act, it was a struggle. I even felt that he wanted to cry. Look at his slight trembling. It was perfect." Javier Bardem, an actor famous for his bold breakthroughs, even thought of his scene with Penelope Cruz. In that movie, he and she were really... and soon thought of his scene with Penélope Cruz. The mother of Penelope in the movie, he and her are also very intense...

I'm a bit overthinking this. "Ham and Ham" is his unforgettable memory, it's his first movie.

"He is the best actor, I agree!" Barden cast his vote.In fact, the trembling in that scene, Bai Shiqiu was still frozen, so it was very natural.

"Yes, it is indeed very outstanding, but I just wonder, did he really use the accent from more than 5000 kilometers away?" Morrison, a black female writer, found this unbelievable.

There are many kinds of accents in English. For example, the English and the Irish live on an island. When they talk to each other, they wish they had a translator. That’s just an island.

"Really, I got the answer to this from the Internet. Some Chinese movie fans have interpreted it. This is indeed amazing, but it is indeed true and very authentic." Faith Akin confirmed this. He even went to I have repeatedly checked with netizens because this is incredible.

"The most important thing is that I can see that he is helping the actress." The speaker was Jacques, a Frenchman who is also relatively romantic.

"That's right! That's it!"

"Oh my God, I am now sure that he must want this girl to win the award. They must be a couple. It is all because of love. He may not be acting, but he is the best actor that I absolutely recognize. !”

At this point, it seems that the film king is about to be confirmed, and Wu Yusen was anxious at that time.

"Everyone! How can you talk about an incident that violates women like this? This... is hard for me to understand!" Wu Yusen shouted loudly. He knew what it meant if a Chinese won the Best Actor at Cannes, and he couldn't tolerate it. Regarding this matter, "This young man is not a good person. Haven't you heard about what his senior sister, the famous movie star Miss Zhang Zhiyi, said about him? Their relationship is..."

Zhang Zhiyi’s evaluation?

"Of course we have heard about it, but do we have to listen?"

"That's right, didn't we agree not to be affected by the outside world..."

"That's right, by the way, it seems that Mr. Wu, you have a lot of hostility towards this "Green Red". Are you not Chinese? You should be compatriots, right?"

In this way, everyone's words were like sharp arrows, shooting into Wu Yusen's body.

At this point, Wu Yusen realized that these judges were all following the Chinese proverb.

Hold on and fight backwards.

Scutulica's face was very cold at this time. The principles had been set from the beginning, but the world-renowned director Wu violated the rules so much. It was too much. Moreover, why should we listen to a Chinese starlet's instructions?
Wu Yusen did not expect that Zhang Zhiyi's remarks would be the straw that broke the camel's back.

……

Awards scene.

"This, this..." Bai Shiqiu didn't expect that his name would be called, because he had only one purpose in disrupting the Cannes Film Festival from the beginning, which was to give Yuanyuan a best actress. She worked hard, And there is still a chance this time.

But now it's like this, the actress didn't give it to Yuanyuan, but she won the actor herself.

"Congratulations, Lao Bai." Yuanyuan was beside Bai Shiqiu.

"I, I..." Bai Shiqiu was completely stupid. He had never been so stupid before.

Now I finally understand that the actress was probably not given the supporting actress role in "Free Zone" by accident. This was probably to slap Natalie Portman in the face and appease those religious groups.

This time, it was self-defeating and I didn't think carefully enough.

"Hurry up and receive the award!" Yuanyuan was anxious, as if she was angry.

"..." But when Bai Shiqiu looked at Yuanyuan at this time, he felt his heart flutter.

What's going on here?

Why didn't it exist before?

It must be an illusion, for sure.

Bai Shiqiu quickly collected herself, with an inexplicable expression of surprise on her face, and then quickly walked onto the stage to receive the award.

clap clap clap...

Along the way, I received a lot of applause and looks, especially those with envy, jealousy and hatred. The strongest one came from "The Best Time".

Brother Zhen.

At this time, Zhang Zhen really wanted to argue with Bai Shiqiu, how did you get this award? Didn't you say before that you had no chance?

There is a feeling of being cheated.

Thinking back to what I said before, oh, how embarrassing.

"..." Bai Shiqiu just smiled back, showing two rows of white teeth.

There's no need to talk anymore. Talking is just pretentious. Let's talk about it on stage.

The person who presented the award was Zhang Zhiyi, my senior sister.

"Congratulations, my junior brother Bai Shiqiu."

"Thank you, Sister."

Bai Shiqiu's expression was very happy at this time, but for a moment, Zhang Zhiyi was not angry to death.

That expression translates to:
I am the best actor in Cannes, who the hell are you?

The inspiration, of course, comes from the god figure of later generations, a certain niche who unexpectedly won the Hundred Flowers Best Actor.
