Global Movie Emperor

Time gradually passed, and the venue became quieter and quieter. Lu Ze closed his eyes to rest, and could only hear people around him talking and laughing softly in French.

French has been rated as one of the most beautiful languages ​​in the world. Although Lu Ze didn't know who made the judgment, the more he listened to it during the past few days in France, the more pleasant it sounded to him. This comment did not seem to be unreasonable.

Although he was involved in a turmoil, which caused Lu Ze's impression of France to not be very good, one thing must be admitted. The French have a very high degree of love and pride for their language, and even believe that, Whether you are a native of your own country or a foreign tourist, you should speak French in France. Speaking other languages, they will not accept it.

In this famous international tourist city, Lu Ze can still see some recipes and road signs that are not marked in other languages. The situation in France is similar to Italy, but Lu Ze is not there now, so it's okay not to mention it.

You can say that they are arrogant, you can say that their attitude towards foreigners is not friendly, but Lu Ze is more willing to understand it as a sense of national pride. In China, there is definitely a sense of national pride, but compared to France In some places, it is still a little weak.

Here, Lu Ze did not learn any professional knowledge, nor did he learn any customs to enrich his knowledge. He only learned one thing, that is, he should be proud of his country. If you are proud of your motherland, , then please be proud when you go out.

Listening to French that sounded like a new dialect, as I became more and more sleepy, the lights in front of the stage came on, and a gentle symphony played from the speakers.

Zhuang Yu next to him patted Lu Ze on the shoulder. Lu Ze instantly opened his eyes, sat upright, rubbed his eyes, and looked around.

Under the gaze of everyone, the red curtains of the stage were opened to both sides, and a symphony orchestra in suits and leather shoes began to play music. It was very light at first, and then became more and more solemn. In the golden light, it played the last rest.

It is said that music has no borders, but it seems to be the case at this moment. Lu Ze, a typical Chinese, can also immerse himself in the beautiful melody and cannot extricate himself. It was not until the music stopped that he, like everyone else, stood up and paid tribute to this music. I applaud a band that I don’t even know, but is definitely very famous.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Cannes..."

Lu Ze couldn't understand the rest of the words, so he could only play along and just listen. Like all awards, the Golden Rooster and Golden Horse speak Chinese, the Golden Statue speaks Cantonese, and the Golden Palm naturally speaks French, and There are no translations for other languages.

If you don’t understand French and want to understand what they are saying, you can only wear a translator earphone like a hearing aid and listen to the mechanically synthesized female voice inside. This earphone will be given to foreigners after entering the theater. Lu Ze is no exception.

Putting on the translation headphones, the camera suddenly focused on the three Lu Zes to welcome the nominated film team. Just now, other crew members gave the three Lu Zes a sample. It was not too formal. They just tidied up their clothes, smiled and waved to the camera. .

Since a series of sub-competitions had already been conducted before the awards ceremony began, the winner of the Film Cornerstone Award was announced directly after the host Ulla Ulla said a lot.

This award, to put it bluntly, is the Best New Short Film Director Award, to encourage some new blood in the world, and it is equivalent to a ticket. The first feature-length feature films shot by these directors who have won the Film Cornerstone Award will be shortlisted in Cannes There are no surprises in the evaluation of feature-length feature films.

The Film Cornerstone Award is divided into first, second and third prizes. Lu Ze had never heard of the second and third prize winners, but when the nominee named the first prize winner, Lu Ze was happy for a while.

Keishaar Deitri Mendeleev is a new Russian director. He is only 23 years old this year. His award-winning film is "Cold Period". The film was shot in Siberia and tells the story of a tourist in The story of a man who got lost in Siberia and suffered many hardships such as severe cold, hunger, wolf attacks, snow blindness, etc., and finally froze to death in Siberia.

The entire short film was shot with only one actor, one director, and a handheld camera. No matter how it sounds, it may look relatively simple.

But the two lively people really made a name for themselves in the film, capturing the hope of life and the despair of death. It is said that Keishal was rushed to the hospital for treatment after the filming. The cause was extensive frostbite. The most serious ones were the earlobes and lips, which were almost frozen off.

Lu Ze has also watched this film and has a lot of insights into the film itself, but the most important thing is to admire these two brothers who are not afraid of death. Yes, the actor is Keishaer's eldest brother, and the two of them made this journey to death. , the old family almost died.

It is also because of this that Lu Ze himself is a fan of Keishaal. It is indeed something worth celebrating to see him win an award.

No matter how good the film is or how much you boast about it, the film industry will always provide people with a few hours of entertainment. But it is because of people who are not afraid of death and are willing to devote themselves to the film industry that the film industry is Entertainment products have become less commercial, proving whether film is an art or whether it is pure.

Lu Ze stood up and gave a thumbs up to Keishaal, who was only 23 years old but strong-backed and bearded on the stage. Keishaar seemed not to have expected that a short video would receive such formal congratulations from the guests present. , looking a little surprised, nodded and bowed lightly to Lu Ze.

This is just a communication between the person who appreciates and the person who is admired. It is not surprising in the entire award ceremony. Whether a bond can form between Lu Ze and him depends on fate.

Then there is the "Un Certain Regard" category, which is an award prepared for new feature-length directors. It is specially designed to promote some new directors with innovative spirit and unique vision.

It is divided into three categories: Best Film (Best Newcomer Film), Jury Prize (Second Place), and Best Director (Best Newcomer Director).

But this has nothing to do with Lu Ze. Zhuang Yu is not a new director. As early as the period of "Mr. Tree", he had entered the Cannes Film Festival, but he was not selected. This year, he was selected into the official competition unit and won the None of the nominated directors are newcomers either.

Next is the short film unit. The difference between it and the film cornerstone unit is that one is for veteran short film directors and the other is for new short film directors, but this still has nothing to do with Lu Ze.

After the performance of Ileana Dequin, a young female singer who has become particularly popular in Europe in recent years, the official competition section began. At this point, the atmosphere at the scene became the most tense.

The first is the supporting actor and actress. "Alive" was not nominated for these two awards, so I will comment on the winners of these two awards from an objective perspective.

The Best Supporting Actor award went to Ricardo Mastrosny, the second male lead in "The Gunslinger". Although there were doubts in the audience, most people mentioned Jean Gassmann, the second male lead in "In the Rain".

But in Lu Ze's opinion, Ricardo's performance is actually no worse than that of Jean Gassmann. It's just that there is some subjective bias due to the good reputation of "Rainy Night" and the large number of supporters. In fact, Lu Ze I think this award can be given to any of these hit movies.

There is not much controversy about the Best Supporting Actress. It was won by Kathy Millen, the actress of "March in Vienna". This is undisputed. Kathy is the favorite to win the award. No one, she With a top-notch face in European aesthetics and a wonderful performance, the call for awards has been rising since the movie was released, and it has reached its peak today.

"Now, for the Best Actor Award, to be honest, there are really a lot of outstanding films this year. Just the nominations made the judges think a lot, so every actor who was nominated had a very good performance this year. Eyes, come on, let’s see who they are.”

The male host raised his right hand and pointed it at the big screen, and then the screen lit up and played clips of the wonderful performances of the four candidates for the Palme d'Or Best Actor.

"The Gunslinger" (France) Richard Kotler: I was told to kill a person, a woman. After I drank a whole bottle of whiskey, I picked up her picture. I swear I fell in love at first sight. She is sexy, beautiful, gentle, and charming. All the beautiful words in the world are difficult to describe her. She attracts me like magic. With just one photo, I became obsessed with her beauty. But...I shot her anyway."

""Alive" (China) Lu Ze: Hell? Where is it? It's right here... Look, the sky in hell is so blue and the flowers are so fragrant. Oh my god, I forgot it's autumn. Look at how yellow the leaves are. Will it be cool when the breeze blows? Hell? I'm inside."

""Hotel Tim" (Italy): Due to the pressure of survival, people like to choose death here. Many times, I mean many times, after the room fee is due, I open the room and I can see them in various ways. I was used to picking up the body, putting it in a sack, and throwing it into the sewer entrance of Bernington Street. From then on, the man disappeared from the world. He would never be seen again. Will come back and ring the check-in bell.”

"Rainy Night" (UK) Anthony Taylor: You love me? That's what you call a son of a bitch who loves me? Damn it, I'm working hard for our future, I want to marry you, make more money More money will give you and Jimmy a better life, but what about you? But you are fooling around with all the men except me! Their eyes laughed at me, and I was fooled by you like a fool! I am so proud of my vision. I feel ridiculous and childish. The special shame was brought to me by you. I want to thank the heavy rain for letting me see you clearly. Now, pack up your underwear that has been touched and kissed by countless men and get out of my house... ....Fuck! You! Monique!”

The excerpts from the four films ended here. The two award presenters slowly walked onto the stage amid the music, bowed gently to the guests in the audience, expressed their gratitude, and then began to speak.

To be honest, among these four movies, "The Gunslinger" should be the weakest. Its reputation and popularity are not very high, but the other three works have similar support rates. It is reasonable to give the award to anyone, and none of them count. This situation is what the film festival organizers hope to see. No one likes the scene of one company dominating the film. Only competition is interesting, and there will be topics after the ceremony.

"Let's see who the winner is. Hahaha, I'm a little nervous. I'll gently tear open the envelope and take a look. Oh...Drake, do you want to take a look? OK, The Best Actor at the 74th Cannes Palme d'Or is born, let us congratulate him with applause..."

"Anthony! Taylor!"
