Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    On May 25, local time in France, the selection results of the Un Certain Regard section of the 66th Cannes International Film Festival were announced. The film "Incomplete Image" directed by Cambodian director Pan Lidde won the best film. Zhang Ziyi attended as a judge.

    The jury headed by Thomas Fantiberg, after more than ten days of selection, selected 5 awards among 17 films from 15 countries: the film "Incomplete Image" directed by Cambodian director Pan Lidde won the best  The film, the Palestinian film "Oma" won the Jury Prize, French director Alain Girardi won the Best Director for "Stranger by the Lake", the Un Certain Regard Talent Award was won by the crew of "The Golden Cage", and the Future Award was awarded to  To the American film Fruitvale.

    The movie "The Jewel" that Emma participated in failed.

    But the focus of the media was not here. The next day, the closing ceremony of the Cannes Film Festival was officially held.

    "Li Donglai! Li Donglai! Li Donglai!" At this time, there was a sea of ??people in front of the Lumiere Hall of the Cannes Film Palace, tens of thousands of fans gathered here.  When Li Donglai walked on the red carpet, a group of female fans nearby started to shout, and then led more people to clap their hands and time together, shouting the name of their idol in unison, with passionate voices: "Li Donglai! Li Donglai!"

    The Chinese reporters outside the railings were all surprised. The Cannes Film Festival is no stranger to Chinese reporters, and there are countless big names who have come out here.  But no one has ever won such a high-pitched chorus from French fans.  Brother Cheng Long, who has been famous for decades, also walked over just now. Universe Dan also showed his face. Unfortunately, most of the people who recognized him were Chinese reporters.

    At this moment, Li Donglai came and made the calm French movie fans here excited.

    This time the crew of "Gravity" gathered together again.  Andy Lau gave up the crew of "Blind Detective" and followed "Gravity" on the red carpet. Maggie Cheung is no longer in her prime.  But still very dazzling.  She is a strong contender for Best Actress tonight.

    The long red carpet that separated them was equally lively.

    The stars were bright and flashing, and the guests and photographers were busy in their own way. The big screens on both sides of the movie palace captured these scenes, causing movie fans to burst into excitement.  When Li Donglai walked out of the red carpet and shook hands with a French female fan who was holding up his poster and album, the scene almost became chaotic.  Occasionally waving, they went completely crazy, clapping their hands and shouting in unison.

    "Yes, his album sales have exceeded 10 million. It's amazing."

    French reporters pressed the shutters frantically.

    "Gravity" was screened in Cannes for only three days and ended in a very low-key and mysterious manner. Li Donglai only stayed in Cannes for three days before disappearing.  Compared with the non-stop public relations and promotion of other shortlisted films, he can be regarded as a soy sauce.  But the organizers happily arranged a press conference for "Gravity" so that they could be interviewed.  There were also some Gravity posters put up.

    Li Donglai is not here, but the leading actor is still there.

    A total of 1,858 films have been submitted to Cannes this year, and nearly 80 shortlisted films will be screened within two weeks. Among them, Jia Zhangke's new film "Destined" will compete for the Palme d'Or, the highest award at the Cannes Film Festival.  This film starring Jiang Wu, Wang Baoqiang and others has already attracted international attention before it was released. The international distribution rights have been bought by French film distribution company MK2.

    "Crossing the Line" directed by Liu Yunwen and starring Carina Lau was shortlisted for the "Un Certain Regard" category; while "Blind Detective" directed by Johnnie To and starring Andy Lau was shortlisted for the "Midnight Screening" category.

    There are also many people who predict that "Destined" will win the grand prize.  Due to its subject matter and other content, there were rumors that this movie would not be reviewed in China before, but it eventually passed the review.  More than 20 Chinese movie stars also appeared on the red carpet.  Most of them are made with soy sauce.

    In comparison, "Gravity" is too grand. Even before the opening of the film festival, there was a fuss over the change of the opening film. The overwhelming posters have already announced that this year's Cannes belongs to the alien space. Almost every shop in the Antibea shopping street next to the Promenade  Every store has something to do with gravity.

    With such powerful publicity, it¡¯s no wonder that Li Donglai could leave this place.

    The popularity of a film can always be measured by the number of people watching a red carpet show. "Gravity" has undoubtedly become the most popular this year. Every night at the gate of the Film Palace, you can see people holding up "Canpet-Ticket-Wanted" (seeking red carpet).  Movie fans with "carpet tickets" signs, they walked in twos and threes among the tourists coming and going; and today, when the exhibition day of "Gravity" came, the crowd at the entrance of the Film Palace suddenly turned into Li Donglai's one-man show.

    In view of the popularity of the opening ceremony, the organizers of the film festival need to ask the police department to cooperate.  The police deployed more than 400 personnel to maintain law and order at this grand premiere.  However, just after four o'clock in the afternoon, more than a dozen police cars lined up along the coastal avenue were quickly submerged in the sea of ??people stretching for several kilometers, and all cars could only look like snails.Moving forward slowly as usual, walking from one side of the road to the other was as difficult as landing in Normandy.

    The crowd was still coming because Li Donglai shook hands with the fans.  Once again, the scene almost became chaotic, causing the police to break out in a cold sweat.

    "Wow, Donglai is so popular in Europe?!" Brother Cheng Long, who had just passed by in the distance, was attracted by the shouts and turned around to say something.

    In order to ensure that the guest convoy could arrive on time and for the premiere to start smoothly, the police had previously imposed temporary martial law on the Haibin Avenue, which led to the current lively scene "Li Donglai! Li Donglai!" shouts could be heard.  Far away.

    It was obviously not that crazy during the opening ceremony, but it suddenly became even crazier during the closing ceremony, and the appeal of "Gravity" can also be seen from the side.

    They are so popular that they naturally put pressure on the other finalists.

    After walking through the red carpet, Wang Baoqiang came over to say hello, "Boss, you are so awesome. Cannes has become your fan meeting."

    ¡°Tch, I¡¯m not going to compete with you for the grand prize.¡±

    Wang Baoqiang smiled and said, "That's your director's business and has nothing to do with me."

    "Hehe, let's go. Let's go in together."

    ¡­¡­

    On the evening of May 26, 2013, local time, the closing and awards ceremony of the 66th Cannes International Film Festival in France was underway.  This Cannes Film Festival is the strongest in the past three years.

    The award ceremony went smoothly. Some people spoke their native language, some spoke English, and a French translator was on hand for simultaneous interpretation.  Many people are not language geniuses and cannot understand some acceptance speeches, so they can only applaud politely.

    When it came to the Best Actress Award, the camera focused on Maggie Cheung.

    Li Donglai and Liu Dehua also smiled and paid attention, and countless Chinese people present were paying attention to the stage.  Chinese reporters even speculated whether Maggie Cheung would win the award.  It's a pity that when the name was read at the end, it was obviously not Maggie Cheung.  Obtained by Berenice Bejo, the heroine of the movie "The Past".  She stood up in disbelief to receive the award.

    Li Donglai was also very sorry and patted Maggie Cheung on the shoulder comfortingly, "It's okay, Sister Manyu. I guess you will have several major award ceremonies to attend in the future."

    Liu Dehua also consoled him: "It's just a little bit of luck."

    Maggie Cheung, the former Cannes Best Actress, is very open-minded, "I don't have anything. That's fine. I have no choice but to come to the East to win an award. The probability of winning is greater. There are not many awards in Cannes, but they are always divided very evenly."  "

    Li Donglai smiled and said: "Haha, okay, I accept your good advice and I hope it won't come to nothing."

    When the news spread back to China, countless fans also expressed regret.  Just a little bit different.  In the eyes of many Chinese viewers who have watched "Gravity", Maggie Cheung is already their favorite actress.

    After a while, Jia Zhangke won the Best Screenplay Award for the Chinese film "Destined to Live."  It was also a Chinese movie, and Li Donglai also applauded vigorously.

    "He has not watched "Destiny", but he has read some media reviews.

    "Adhering to the consistent style of Jia Zhangke's films, focusing on the grassroots and the general public, it expresses the dreams, inner struggles and perseverance of migrant workers living in the city during the process of urbanization. In the film, San'er rides a motorcycle home,  Passing by the sea, the sea is anxious because the coal mine in the village has been occupied by private individuals; Xiaoyu tells her boyfriend that they must make a decision in their relationship this spring; in Guangzhou, Xiaohui keeps changing jobs. Four Chinese people, they meet each other,  Each faces the sorrow, love and hope of life."

    The movie shows the true portrayal of different people's inner feelings when facing violence, and the story of the movie is also extremely controversial.  No wonder it was reviewed by the Radio, Film and Television Bureau.  Fortunately, such a good movie passed censorship.

    If Chinese films want to develop rapidly, they can¡¯t just have blockbusters.  It is even more necessary for directors who pay attention to reality to continue creating.

    The reality is that screenwriters are better than screenwriters. Jia Zhangke just strings together a few pieces of news and puts them there. There is no need to express anything else. He reveals the deepest contradictions in society, including the gap between rich and poor.  The most difficult thing is that he has returned to the market, and this movie has driven him back underground. This requires courage. He has sacrificed a lot and deserves respect.

    The most popular comment on "Destiny" is "very brave".

    When critic Spielberg commented on the script of "Destiny", he praised the structure of the four stories as "very genius".  Judge Ang Lee believed that Jia Zhangke's courage was very commendable, the power of the film was gratifying, and he deserved to win the award.

    Now there is already a prize in hand, and many people are looking at the two big prizes at the back.

    It was finally time for the Best Director Award. After the host introduced him, Spielberg came onto the stage holding the card.

     Several cameras were focused on Li Donglai, who was sitting in the audience. Li Donglai was smiling and looking at the stage.

    Announced: "With its excellent film technology and perfect plot control, this film has graced the entire Cannes. Everyone who has seen it said it is good-looking. There is no need to say anything more. The winner of the Best Director is,  "Gravity" Li Donglai!"

    "Boom¡ª¡ª"

    The audience burst into warm applause.

    Liu Dehua stood up excitedly and gave him a hug, and Maggie Cheung also kissed him affectionately.  Li Donglai stood up and buttoned his suit.  Along the way out of the aisle, people were saying congratulations from time to time.

    "Come from the east, good job." Brother Cheng Long shouted loudly.

    Li Donglai blew a kiss to him and waved to the audience.  He behaves naturally and naturally, with a domineering attitude.
