On Zhang Laomou's side, everyone from himself to the actors below were very nervous. [Read full text.baoliny.] His "Ju Dou" is the one shortlisted for the main competition in mainland China. Countless people in China are looking forward to it. Whether or not he wins the award is no longer a personal matter for Zhang Laomou.
For himself, in the award-winning "Red Sorghum" two years ago, the shooting angle of that movie was still a photographer. And this "Ju Dou" is Zhang Laomou's first work shot entirely from the director's perspective. If he can win the award, it will undoubtedly be the greatest recognition of his directorial skills.
Among the nomination lists announced a few days ago, it was very tragic that "Ju Dou" was not on the list. However, because of the words spoken by the chairman of the jury that day, Zhang Laomou still held on to a glimmer of hope that his film would win the special award.
"The nominees for Best Director in the Competition at this year's Cannes Film Festival are: Pawee Longen's "Taxi Blues" David Lynch's "Wild at Heart" Kohei Oguri "The Thorn of Death" Jean-Paul Rappeno's "The Big Nose" Zachary King's "Holy War""
"The winner of the Best Director award is: Pavel Longen's "Blues Cab"!"
A guy with a beard stood up excitedly. The Soviet director hugged his companions, turned around and waved back, and walked up to the podium in two steps.
The camera promptly turned to several other directors who did not win the award, and stayed on Wang Zijun¡¯s face for two more seconds. With a faint smile on his face, Wang Zijun applauded and congratulated the winners together with the others, without showing any disappointment.
Lin Yi also had a smile on his face, but he whispered with some dissatisfaction: "Aunt Qingxia, I think my dad should win the best director. I also watched the movie "Blues Taxi", and the pace was so slow. It makes no sense that these judges actually chose this director to win the award even though he was dozing off."
Lin Qingxia said with a smile: "Don't forget, I am also one of the judges, and I also voted for this Soviet director for the Best Director award."
When Lin Yi heard this, he coughed and said, "Well, actually "Blues Taxi" was filmed quite well"
Wang Zijun listened to the conversation between the two and was finally amused by this kid. Lin Qingxia and Lin Fengjiao are as close as sisters. Lin Yi is still under the financial control of his mother, so he naturally has to say good things to please Aunt Qingxia. If Lin Qingxia can help and intercede, maybe he will be free.
As for Soviet director Pavel Longen winning the award, Wang Zijun doesn¡¯t have any objections. He quite liked this guy's later movie "Russian Tycoon".
Until now, the real prize has just begun!
¡°The nominees for Best Actress in Competition at this year¡¯s Cannes Film Festival are: Yina Tyurikova in ¡°Mother¡±¡ Kristina Yangda in ¡°The Interrogation¡±¡ Gong Li in ¡°Holy War¡±¡ Laura Dern "Wild at Heart" "Thorn of Death" by Keiko Matsusaka"
Gong Li was sitting upright, and Zhang Laomou quietly held her hand tightly to express comfort. The relationship between the two is known to many people in the industry, and Lao Zhang even divorced his wife because of it.
The Cannes Film Festival does not distinguish between Best Leading Role and Best Supporting Actor, but a unified Best Actor.
In Wang Zijun's "Holy War", Suzuki Honami is the heroine, but Gong Li, who played the comfort woman in it, performed more eye-catchingly, so she was nominated for best actress.
¡°It¡¯s just that it¡¯s still a bit of a stretch to become the Best Actress in Cannes based on these highlights. At least Wang Zijun has no hope for this Best Actress trophy.
??????????????????? The following words of the award-winning guest confirmed Wang Zijun¡¯s thoughts.
"The winner of the Best Actress award is: Kristina Yanda for "The Interrogation"!"
"Huh!" Gong Li leaned on her seat in frustration. The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. This was her first nomination for International Best Actress, but unfortunately she lost.
Next up is the competition for Best Actor at Cannes. They are Andre Chateauroux, the leading actor of "The Big Nose", Nicolas Cage, the leading actor of "Wild at Heart", Ken Takakura, the leading actor of "Holy War", and "Lethal". Frances McDormand, the leading actor of "File", and Peter Mamonov, the leading actor of "Blues Cab".
Even an old actor like Takakura Ken will inevitably become nervous at this moment. Although there was a smile on his face, he kept arranging his tie with his hands, which showed his nervousness. He has only won the Asian Best Actor trophy before, if he can win the Cannes Best Actor. Then he will reach a new peak in his acting career.
Ken Takakura's performance in "Holy War" can be described as amazing, it is completely beyond the level of performance. In addition to his own strength, it is also related to Wang Zijun's director. Can be seen many times. The same actor meets different directors and performsThe acting skills that came out were completely different. Just like a wise commander in the game, he has attribute bonuses to his soldiers.
¡°Also, in order to pursue perfection, Wang Zijun was extremely strict with actors in this film. At the most, Ken Takakura was asked to retake a scene 26 times by Wang Zijun, and it was not passed until he was finally satisfied.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? 26 n-shots for one shot, a new actor would have collapsed long ago, because every n-shot is a blow to the actor¡¯s self-confidence.
"The winner of the Best Actor Award is: Ken Takakura for "Holy War"!"
""Holy War" is a World War II-themed film directed by Zachary Wang. Mr. Takakura Ken plays the Japanese soldier Uno Hidekazu in the film"
"Arigado, Arigado, what the hell" Ken Takakura's acceptance speech could not be heard at all. He stood up and bowed to Wang Zijun, Liu Dekai, Zunlong, Suzuki Honami and others. grateful.
"Congratulations, congratulations!" Wang Zijun stood up and shook hands with Takakura Ken.
Suzuki Honami hugged Takakura Ken and said with a smile: "Congratulations, Oda-senpai!"
Ken Takakura ran to the stage, took the trophy from the presenter, clenched his fists to calm down, and then exhaled and said: "The person I am most grateful to for receiving this trophy is Director Wang Zijun. This is the most unforgettable one for me. role, not only the painful filming process, but also the more details about the war that I learned during the filming, which shocked me greatly. I hope to do my part for Sino-Japanese friendship and world peace in the future. I hope I can become an envoy of Sino-Japanese friendship"
¡°Bah bang bang¡¡±
Wang Zijun applauded along with everyone. While applauding, he was thinking about another thing.
Taiwan has long since lifted its party ban. Various political parties have emerged in Taiwan in the past two years. Wang Zijun also wants to form a party for fun. Or he does not come forward himself, but pays to support others to form a party.
Wang Zijun has no interest in entering politics, so the party he plans to form is not a political party either. He felt that in another time and space, the "China Unification Promotion Party" later formed by Zhang Anle was very interesting, and perhaps it could be formed in advance for fun.
The charter of the "Party for Promoting the Unification of China" naturally takes the unification of China as its mission. But it is not through military force, which is obviously unrealistic. What this party needs to do is to strengthen cross-strait folk cultural exchanges. Well, it can also run another dark green newspaper as a propaganda front.
The next awards ceremony is the final grand prize in the film category.
Zhang Laomou's "Ju Dou" got his wish and won the Luis Bu?uel Special Award. This award had not existed before and was specially set up for "Ju Dou".
In Wang Zijun's view, the artistic quality of the film "Ju Dou" is not enough for the Cannes Film Festival to set up a special award for it, which includes many of the judges' personal preferences.
Generally speaking, there are very few movies from mainland China, and good movies are even rarer. If Lao Mouzi gets one, he will naturally regard it as a treasure. Also, the Cannes Film Festival in recent years has been a stronghold for leftists, and the chairman of the jury this year has a serious China complex. It would be strange not to give "Ju Dou" a special award.
The Jury Prize, Jury Grand Prix and Palme d'Or were then awarded. To put it simply, they are the Bronze, Silver and Gold Awards of the Cannes Film Festival.
The Jury Prize was first taken away by the British film "The Deadly Files", and then there was a little surprise in the Jury Prize. The Swiss film "Tillai" and the Japanese film "The Haunting of Death" actually received the same number of votes and jointly won the Jury Prize. .
The final Palme d'Or is about to be announced, and the directors of the remaining few films that scored very high but did not win the award are beginning to feel anxious.
"Holy War" has already won two technical awards for music and photography, and also won the best actor performance award. The publicity effect has been achieved, and Wang Zijun is not bound to win the last award.
After all, the judging criteria of the Cannes Film Festival is artistry, and the judges¡¯ scoring and voting are too arbitrary and uncertain. Even the king of heaven is not absolutely sure of winning the final award.
The emperor was not in a hurry, but the eunuch was. Lin Yi was much more nervous than his father, and his palms were sweating.
"The film that won the Palme d'Or at this year's Cannes Film Festival is - "Holy War" Zachary King!"
"Oh!" Lin Yi jumped up suddenly, raised his hands and clapped his hands.
Wang Zijun pulled Lin Qingxia to stand up. Not far away, directors Zhang Laomou, David Lynch, and Oguri Yasuohei were all waving to congratulate him.
Wang Zijun and Lin Qingxia walked up to the podium together, took the Palme d'Or trophy and handed it to Lin Qingxia, smiling and asking the following people:? said: "You should be able to bring your family members to receive the award, right?"
"Hehehe" There was a burst of laughter from the audience.
Wang Zijun took Lin Qingxia's hand, kissed the back of her hand, and said, "Qingxia, I have worked hard for you these years. Thank you!"
Lin Qingxia was moved and dumbfounded. She didn¡¯t know what kind of madness Wang Zijun had gone crazy today.
Wang Zijun broke off the microphone and said sternly to everyone: "Thank you to the judges of the Cannes Film Festival for giving me this honor. I originally wanted to say it at the press conference, but since I was given this opportunity, I declare: This is The last movie I directed, I decided to retire.¡±
