China Entertainment: I have been a director since 05

Chapter 318 The Cannes Best Actor after ten years! Palme d'Or sparks war of words at Cannes!
"Hold!"

Yang Mi, who was watching the live broadcast, suddenly uttered a curse word, which startled Tang Yan on the side.

"It's You Benchang who won the best actor award. Aren't you excited?" Tang Yan looked at Yang Mi, a little at a loss.

"I've said before on the Internet that this kind of film festival is a pork-sharing competition. Generally, awards are only given to one person. Last year's Palme d'Or director won two. It was a complete accident because last year's jury chairman and There is a cooperative relationship between the directors of "White Ribbon".

Yang Mi sighed and said, "Last year, Director Guan won two awards at Cannes. There is no way he can win two this year. Mr. You won the Best Actor, which almost indicates that the next two awards will have nothing to do with Director Guan. "

"Aren't there any more double-yolked eggs?"

"Do you think Director Guan got a double-yolk egg from the Palme d'Or last year? If you give him a double-yolk egg this year, you won't offend anyone?"

"It feels messy." Tang Yan looked at the picture on the TV screen, but she was thinking about something in her heart.

"You're already pretty awesome, okay? How can anyone win the Palme d'Or in Cannes every day?"

But Tang Yan didn't say this. She just looked at Tu Jingwei's expression on the TV with an extremely excited expression. At this moment, he probably also thought that there would be no other awards in the future, but the Cannes Best Actor award was enough to make him excited.

Although Director Guan's biggest wish is to fight for Chinese female stars throughout his life, he also truly loves movies and wants to promote more development of Chinese-language movies.

It’s not that it’s awesome, it’s that it’s too awesome!
Guan Ling is currently just a 27-year-old director!

In 1995, Ge You's "Alive" was at the 47th Cannes Film Festival, and in 2000, Liang Chaowei's "In the Mood for Love" was at the 53rd Cannes Film Festival, becoming the third Chinese actor to win the best actor award at Cannes.

Guan Ling wants to allow more Chinese-speaking filmmakers to stand on the world film scene.

The main reason is that everyone is more surprised.

He thought of the phone call Guan Ling made to You Sihan, and he thought of the promise Guan Ling made to him at that time.

And a mere actor made the scene feel like a dream.

Berlin can't catch up, Venice can't catch up with the American Golden Globe Awards, and Cannes is the only suitable film festival.

Although the expectations in my heart are still there.

But it actually helped Chinese actors win the Best Actor and Best Actress at Cannes respectively. Although it is a pity to win the Palme d'Or later, is it important?

At this moment, You Benchang came out of an indescribable emotion.

Those regrets and loneliness, at least at this moment, the joy that the award above brings to people is not worth mentioning!
……

Is Japanese.

But Guan Ling actually knew in his heart that after winning the double-yolked egg last year, his chances were slim this year.

He is also the oldest actor among all actors in China.

Amid everyone's whispers, the entire "Father" crew almost came to a standstill, and it was Guan Ling who was the first to react.

Let us congratulate teacher You Benchang, congratulate "Father Trapped in Time", and congratulate director Guan Ling.

It is both warm-up and publicity.

It’s even more foreshadowing.

Tu Jingwei was talking about the data on the TV commentary, but everyone could hear that there was a tremor in Tu Jingwei's voice at this moment!

Guan Ling let You Benchang take it.

After this movie, Guan Ling wanted You Benchang to win an Oscar with this movie.

The original character in "Inception" is Ken Watanabe.

Because he gives his best efforts and the most sincere attitude to any drama.

Letting Chinese-language films leave their mark in history is what Guan Ling wants to do.

But with the announcement of the award presenters on stage, Guan Ling completely let go of his expectations.

It is worth mentioning that after helping Zhou Xun win the Best Actress at Cannes last year, Director Guan once again helped Mr. You Benchang win the Best Actor at Cannes this year. He is currently the only director who has guided a Chinese actor to win Best Actor and Best Actress at Cannes for the first time. "

Accompanied by Guan Ling's voice.

This is the oldest actor in the history of the Cannes Film Festival.

The explosion at Cannes was extraordinary. Many people were stunned by this award. It's not that You Benchang didn't deserve to win the Best Actor.

He thinks it is the madness of young people, he thinks it is the arrogance of young people.

So the scene fell into silence first, and then deafening applause broke out.

And You Benchang in "Father Trapped in Time", who is known as this year's most powerful contender for the Palme d'Or, won this award.

But he was still impressed by Guan Ling.

Approval can be made at any time.

"Mr. You, come on stage to receive the award."

“To everyone’s surprise, none of the Cannes best actor predicted online before the Cannes closing ceremony won this award.

Because it is the most popular film with the most ratings at this year's Cannes, even if people don't regard this film as a candidate for the Palme d'Or, they probably think that this film can win the Jury Prize.

As for the Palme d'Or, Guan Ling certainly hopes to win a separate grand prize.

So he still came to the three major film festivals.

The reason why Guan Ling wanted to shoot this movie was that after accidentally coming into contact with You Benchang, he thought that this movie could be acted by a Chinese.

Although many people around him were calling his name, at this moment, You Benchang returned to the moment when Guan Ling called him.

"Mr. You, I believe this will be the best decision you have ever made in your life.
Although the movie "Inception" just gives you a chance to appear in front of fans around the world, the next movie I have specially prepared for you.

I believe that if you can interpret him well, whether it is Cannes or Oscar,
I am willing to accompany you on this journey...

……

I said a bit too much. I know you may not care about these things, but the Chinese entertainment industry does. You are a model for the Chinese entertainment industry, and you need to be a model for the world.

Let me express it differently,
Whether it's the top three in Europe or the Oscars, how about I take you back with a cup?
Are you interested? "

Those sounds kept spinning in his ears, and Mr. You finally showed emotion on his face.

Although he heard his name just now, he felt as if time stood still at that moment. The sounds around him went from far to near, and then from near to far. Only Guan Ling's voice was left in his ears.

Only the heart is beating powerfully.

When he stood up, You Benchang felt that his legs were a little weak.

He had always been physically strong, but at this moment, he couldn't stand any longer.

Guan Ling and Wu Junmei quickly gave him a hand.

Diane Kruger was on stage and told the reason why this award was awarded to You Benchang, smiling.

"There are always some great performances that we will never forget, and in "Father Trapped in Time", it is definitely a performance that makes everyone cry emotionally.

His emotions, his levels, his crying, his angry face, perhaps only those of us at Cannes can know what kind of performance he gave.

At the age of 77, many people may have retired.

Maybe a lot of people have given up on acting.

But You has dedicated a gorgeous movie feast to each of us. I don’t know what happened, but in the theater, I cried so much that my makeup was all gone.

I know that many people at the scene may be like me, thinking that the Cannes Best Actor this time will be competed in other movies. But that expectation is not the final result.

And the current voting results may represent the recognition of more people..."

Diane Kruger's voice echoed throughout the movie palace, but the words in it seemed to be vaguely saying something else.

"Why do I feel that there is something in what Diane Kruger said?"

Fan Bingbing looked at Wang Xiaoshuai on the side and asked strangely.

"Don't you understand?" Wang Xiaoshuai sneered, "Mr. You Benchang seems to have received an overwhelming number of votes during the voting period."

"why?"

Although Fan Bingbing was very smart, he really didn't hear the twists and turns at the moment.

"The Palme d'Or and the Jury Prize are selected by the chairman of the jury and several judges, but the chairman's power and responsibilities may be greater than everyone thinks."

"You mean?" Fan Bingbing realized something, "The chairman set the two grand prizes, but some of the other judges disagreed, and even others at the scene were not satisfied, so Mr. You Benchang overwhelmingly won the big ticket?" "

"I'm just guessing, but Diane Kruger's words on stage that more people agree with cannot be unreasonable."

Wang Xiaoshuai said with a smile.

"But even if he can't win two awards, the third Chinese Best Actor at Cannes, and he won the Best Actress and Best Actor for two consecutive years, this director really doesn't know what to say."

Looking at Fan Bingbing again, Wang Xiaoshuai said, "Hold Director Guan's thigh. It seems that your development will also be smooth in the future. If you need any roles in the future, don't pretend that you can't see me?"

"That's what you said, Director Wang." Fan Bingbing wanted to laugh, but didn't.

At this moment, a great sense of pride instantly filled her heart.

……

The one who also felt that kind of pride was Liu Yifei.

Compared with the live broadcast on TV, the feelings of the people at the scene may be more concrete.

As You Benchang walked onto the stage, Liu Yifei's eyes lit up. She was filled with uncontrollable excitement and a little regret for Guan Ling.

But all of this disappeared in an instant along with the cheers from the surroundings and as You Benchang stepped onto the podium.

"I'm so happy."

You Benchang on the stage was holding the trophy in one hand and holding the microphone with the other. At this moment, his emotions were finally completely uncontrollable.

Tears fell down his face.

Guan Ling's voice just now kept echoing in his mind. Now standing on the award podium, he saw the various faces below, Guan Ling's applause, and his eyes.

You Benchang really couldn't control his emotions.

These five words seem to have completely released his persistence in acting and his love for the character over the years.

The applause lasted for almost three minutes.

Only then did You Benchang's voice come out slowly,
"I'm grateful to Director Guan. When he contacted me, he said he would take me to Cannes. I didn't expect it to be so soon. What I thought before was that it would only be one time before I died. But Director Guan, only It took less than a year for me to stand here.

So my happiness is not a lie. I don't tell lies either.

I told Director Guan at the beginning that his invitation was a kind of "fate". I have experienced too many things in my life, so I have always pursued the mentality of the character I played before, "Ji Gong".
Be magnanimous and sincere in your laughter and rants.

Strive for life as an actor.

Honor is a mirror. I will use it to encourage myself to live till old age, learn till old age, change till old age, work till old age and be happy till old age! "

Then You Benchang suddenly bowed in the direction of Guan Ling below on the stage.

In an instant, countless people at the scene stood up and applauded You Benchang.

The moment the camera found Guan Ling, he also bent down and bowed to You Benchang.

This shot was played on the big screen and became the most touching moment in Cannes tonight!
The French film "Gods and Men" won the final jury prize, while the Palme d'Or went to "Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives". None of this went beyond Ling's expectations.

As Thailand's first Palme d'Or, Apichatpong thanked the country on the stage, thanked the audience, and especially thanked the chairman of the jury, Burton.

"I think those ghosts in the film are around you now..."

This acceptance speech made Guan Ling's hair stand on end. While others were talking about their speeches, you were lowering your head.

……

This concludes the closing ceremony of the Cannes Film Festival.

Guan Ling's "Father" had a high profile and received the highest score in the program, but missed both the Palme d'Or and the Jury Prize.

Although it was a pity, I won the Best Actor at Cannes for You Benchang.

It was a worthwhile trip.

……

At this moment, although it is already two o'clock in the morning, China's entertainment industry is still at its most popular period.

The hot search term "You Benchang, Best Actor at Cannes" instantly became the top headline on Weibo.

The major Internet media also began to respond quickly and quickly released reports on You Benchang's movie star status.

"The Best Actor at Cannes after ten years! You Benchang becomes the oldest Best Actor winner in the history of the Cannes Film Festival!"

"Unfortunately losing the Palme d'Or, Director Guan brought You Benchang the biggest award in his career!"

"The third Best Actor at Cannes! After helping Zhou Xun win Best Actress at Cannes last year, Guan Ling has won the most valuable award for an actor at Cannes for two consecutive years!"

"Is a hello enough?! For three consecutive years, Director Guan told Cannes to shut up completely!"

But all this is far from over.

At three o'clock in the morning, a judge from the jury told the truth in an interview,
“I didn’t understand the movie Uncle Boonmee, and I fell asleep during the movie.

This movie has some similarities with "Father Trapped in Time", at the level of narrative structure. This movie also seems to break the usual narrative mode, using a non-linear narrative method to describe a kind of end-of-life experience. fantasy'?
Please allow me to use the word 'fantasy' to describe him, or maybe 'reincarnation'? Because I'm not sure, I said, I fell asleep.

I just remember that in the early stages of this movie, there were many traditional shooting techniques, such as long shots, empty shots, voice-overs, montages, single frames, and filters. This made me feel that the collision between this movie and the life of the film's theme was special. contradiction.

But Burton thought highly of the film. "

As soon as this interview came out, it was quickly reprinted in Chinese media.

But it's far from over.

At four o'clock in the morning, the official Twitter of France's "Cahiers du Cinéma" opened its Twitter account and criticized it mercilessly.

“It seems like a very good result for a shortlisted film that received high scores from the Cannes official program to win the Best Actor at Cannes.

But awarding it to a movie with a screening score of only 2.5 is tantamount to a travesty.

In 2008, "Between the Walls", which won the Palme d'Or at Cannes, took a detour, and this year, with "Father Trapped in Time" and "Another Year," Cannes once again took a detour and never returned. Well, compared to the packed-out "Father Trapped in Time," the movie "Uncle Boonmee" is more like a ghost movie full of metaphysics.

A pretty good Cannes main competition was ruined by a group of blind judges!

There are many films that have made their mark in Cannes history, including "Farewell My Concubine", "The Pianist", "Shoplifters", and "Father Trapped in Time".
...but definitely no Uncle Boonmee. In less than two years, this movie will definitely go unnoticed. "

With the official endorsement of the French "Cahiers du Cinema", countless Chinese netizens were confused.

You gave the Palme d'Or to a ghost film at the Cannes International Film Festival? !
