End of Chapter 111
“Tsk tsk, the best means there is only one, not 7, not 5.”
“Even if those actors’ acting skills are very good, they should be Is there the best one?"
"There were 7 best actresses and 5 best actors."
"Haha. br>
“What a great Cannes Film Festival, it’s like child’s play.”
“No wonder those on the jury arrived at the award red carpet from the hotel 15 minutes late.”
“Ha.”
Many people in the film industry in the audience saw that five more Best Actors were awarded. Although they seemed to be applauding enthusiastically, In fact, many people sneered in their hearts.
The award clearly says Best Actor and Actor, what is the best thing about mass production?
7 Best Actress, 5 Best Actor, absolutely unprecedented Cannes International Film Festival.
The chairman of the jury is Wang Jiawei from Hong Kong Island
After the Best Actor Award is awarded, the Best Director Award will be announced next.
Qin Hailu secretly looked at Wang Shu again. She personally felt that Wang Shu was one of the favorable contenders for this award.
Just too young.
This may not be an advantage, but a disadvantage.
“What do you think I’m doing?” Wang Shu turned his head and met Qin Hailu’s eyes and couldn’t help but ask.
“I wonder if Director Wang is looking forward to it?” Qin Hailu looked at Wang Shu without showing any weakness and said with a hint of teasing.
“Heh.” Wang Shu chuckled and did not answer the question, but looked back at the stage.
Jiang Wenli has achieved the ultimate goal of this trip. No matter how other awards are awarded, it has nothing to do with her. At this time, she feels relaxed and can talk more.
She smiled and said: "Although Director Wang is young, with Director Wang's skill, I think there is a high probability that he will win this award."
Fu Dalong took a deep breath, and then said : "I also think Director Wang has a high winning rate."
Although Wang Shu was looking at the stage without speaking, he was smiling bitterly in his heart.
We are all from the same crew, can you please stop breastfeeding?
Don’t you understand that the more breasts you have, the easier it is to get slapped in the face?
At this time, the award-giving guests had already walked onto the stage and interacted with many filmmakers in the audience before getting down to business.
Qin Hailu looked at the award-giving guests on the stage and couldn't help but said to himself: "Isn't it possible that there are several best director awards?"
At this moment, she was not the only one who was so present think.
Many practitioners in the film industry sitting in the audience are also thinking the same thing.
Since the best actress can be awarded 7 times, the best actor can be awarded 5 times.
So, isn’t it normal to have three Best Director awards?
Under the gaze of countless eyes, the award presenters opened the envelope containing the list of best directors, then paused for a moment, and then loudly said: "The winner of the best director list at the 59th Cannes International Film Festival Yes."
"The director of the movie "Tower of Babel", Alejandro Gonzalez Iñárritu."
As soon as the list of winners was announced, Taiwan. The next moment burst into warm applause.
Wang Shu also clapped.
The movie "Tower of Babel" tells the tragic story of four families from different countries in the world who suffered from miscommunication within 11 days.
The first family.
It depicts an American couple traveling in the desert of Monaco in an attempt to rekindle their marriage.
They chose Monaco because Monaco is a country with a romantic temperament.
Anyone who has watched "The Spies" will be willing to believe that there really is a "Rick's Coffee" in Casablanca, and Humphrey Bogart in a white suit really talked about his heartache while drunk ——There are so many towns and corners in the world, but she just came to my place.
But unfortunately, the couple may have had bad luck. When passing through the hillside, the two shepherd brothers were trying their guns and accidentally shot through the left shoulder of his wife Cate Blanchett.
The story of this movie starts like this. It seems a bit hasty and absurd, but it is true.
Many people can't help but think that among everything they encounter, only those things that are unplanned are called life.
A second family.
It describes the story of a deaf-mute girl on the streets of Shinjuku, and a boy she met for the first time, giving him psychedelic pills with whiskey.
Later, under the red and blue light and shadow in the ballroom, she saw the boy she liked kissing someone else.
So the girl exposed her body to the young policeman who came to investigate the gun incident.
The third family.
It describes a Mexican nanny who took two young children to attend her son's wedding. On the way back, she was interrogated by the border police and suspected of kidnapping the children.
Frightened, the three of them fled in panic, but got separated from each other in the thorns of drought and heat.
The fourth family.
It describes that after his wife was shot, the barefoot doctor sloppily stitched up his wound.
The dark-skinned old woman lit up the opium cigarette, breathed it in deeply, and then helped her relieve pain.
So, she calmed down
Looking towards the roof, her expression was as calm as the earth.
In this time of trouble, the couple was no longer embarrassed to say sorry to each other.
They kissed and begged each other for forgiveness.
"Tower of Babel" seems to be a fantasy movie based on its name, but in fact it has nothing to do with fantasy.
On the contrary, it is a realistic drama film.
Although it is a platter movie, it is related.
"A murder caused by a Japanese gun won the best director."
Qin Hailu said subconsciously after hearing the award presenter say the name of the winner.
After saying this, I realized something was wrong and quickly closed my mouth.
Previously, she, Wang Shu and Fu Dalong watched the movie "Tower of Babel" in the screening hall and had some discussions about the movie.
In short, it was a gun from Japan, held by a Moroccan boy, that hit an American tourist on a bus.
In an American family, the Mexican nanny brought two American children to Mexico because she wanted to go home to attend her son's wedding.
Four countries, four families, connected together with only one gun.
It feels like the world is indeed flat.
Although the film "The Tuner" is indeed excellent, there are no unknown films in the main competition of Cannes.
Wang Shu’s initial goal was to win the best director at the Cannes International Film Festival.
Now that it is still unmatched by the movie "Tower of Babel", subsequent awards are even more unlikely.
Because, compared to the winning films in the following awards, "The Tuner" is really "innately deficient".
As expected.
The following three films, the Jury Prize, the Grand Jury Prize and the Palme d'Or were won by the films "The Red Road", "Flemler" and "The Wind in the Rice Waves" respectively. "Is it true that only films set in the last century in China can have a chance to win awards?" Wang Shu, who only won one Best Screenplay award, couldn't help but complain in his heart at this moment.
After the award ceremony, there was a cocktail party. Wang Shu regained his confidence and went to expand his contacts.
The Cannes International Film Festival is one of the three largest in Europe, and its reception brings together film and television tycoons from all over the world.
If Wang Shu wants to go international in the future, then this is a good opportunity to make connections.
Although he failed to win higher honors such as Best Director, Jury Prize, and Palme d'Or, he received the Alfred Bauer Silver Bear Award at the 18-year-old Berlin International Film Festival, The 20-year-old winner of the Best Screenplay Award at the Cannes International Film Festival still has enough gimmicks.
At this age, as well as participating in the three European majors twice, I have achieved success respectively.
And this time Berlin not only won the best screenplay, but also won a Cannes Best Actress.
Strength and potential coexist.
Therefore, after Wang Shu went to the reception, many foreigners soon came to talk to him, without him taking the initiative to talk to them.
"Wang, you are very young and handsome. Are you interested in having a drink together after the party?" A European actress wearing an evening dress with less fabric took the initiative to talk to Wang Shu. They chatted with each other first. After a few words, the European actress said with a flirtatious smile.
"Well, if your boyfriend doesn't mind, I think it's okay." Wang Shu replied with a smile after hearing such straightforward words.
Although this European actress has a good figure and high peaks, she has a boyfriend.
And her boyfriend was at this cocktail party, and he had a few words with Wang Shu before.
Wang Shu felt that there would be no problem in having another drink after the party, but if something happened and the boyfriend of the European actress caught him.
That’s it.
I just won the Best Screenplay, I just won the Best Actress in Cannes, and then it changed hands and an international scandal was revealed.
Given the domestic atmosphere of worshiping foreigners and foreigners, they might be directly labeled as street rats.
Therefore, if the actress who said this to him is a single woman, then he can still have another drink late at night.
In this situation, we still have to be cautious.
“Isn’t it okay if we don’t tell him?” The European actress blinked at Wang Shu and continued to flirt with her.
"Well, I prefer him to know." Wang Shu was stunned for a moment, and then declined politely.
"Bad guy." The European actress pretended to be shy and scolded, and then said with a smile, "Then I'll ask him."
"." Wang Shu.
At the same time, the night shift employees of major domestic news websites and portal websites were all busy in a hurry.
No matter it is already early in the morning, or how many people will read news online at this time, they are all rushing to work and strive to release the latest information from the Cannes International Film Festival as soon as possible.
Jiang Wenli won the Best Actress Award at Cannes.
Wang Shu won the best screenplay.
This is big news.
Before they started rushing to work, information about Wang Shu had already been released.
The content of the news is exactly what Wang Shu said in an interview with the host when he walked on the red carpet of the award ceremony.
When that piece of information was released on major domestic portals, many "understanding brothers" had already guessed that Wang Shu had probably received a hint from the organizing committee that he would be guaranteed a prize, but he didn't know what it would be. That’s all.
There are also people who are badmouthing Wang Shu, thinking that Wang Shu is pretending to be flattering during the red carpet interview, which is nothing more than trying to make a fool of himself.
I just turned 20 and won awards at three major European awards.
This makes many pretentious but ordinary people very unhappy.
Soon.
With the efforts of the staff of major portal websites, new information about the Cannes International Film Festival has been written.
Sina: "Congratulations! Wang Shu won the Best Screenplay Award at the Cannes International Film Festival, and Jiang Wenli won the Best Actress at the Cannes Film Festival."
Sohu: "20-year-old talented director Wang Shu won the Best Screenplay Award at the Cannes International Film Festival." "Won the Best Screenplay Award at the 59th Cannes International Film Festival"
"Congratulations! Jiang Wenli won the Best Actress Award at the 59th Cannes International Film Festival for her role as the heroine in the film "The Tuner". "
Tencent: "Congratulations to Wang Shu and Jiang Wenli for winning the Best Screenplay and Best Actress awards respectively at the Cannes International Film Festival."
On the other side, Wang Shu met an "old man" at the reception. acquaintance".
"Wow, we are really destined to meet again." Nicholas said with a big smile after seeing Wang Shu.
Wang Shu was stunned for a moment, and then recalled that the fat-bellied film dealer in front of him was the unscrupulous film dealer he met when he went to Berlin with "Buried Alive" and wanted to pick it up at a low price.
"Mr. Nicholas, we meet again." Wang Shu shook hands with him politely.
"Wow, I like to be straightforward. The distribution rights of the movie "The Tuner" in Europe" Nicholas said with a big belly.
Just.
Before he finished speaking, Wang Shu planned to say: "Mr. Nicholas, the film "The Tuner" was not solely produced by me. My personal investment only accounted for a small part."
"So , If you are looking for me to discuss copyright matters, you are looking for the wrong person."
As time passed, the cocktail party ended, and Wang Shu returned to the hotel to sleep.
Since the European actress only talked about it in the end and did not actually tell her boyfriend, the two of them did not have another drink, nor did anything happen.
I can only regret this.
The next day.
Wang Shu, Jiang Wenli, Qin Hailu and Fu Dalong left to return to China and ended their trip to Cannes.
After the awards ceremony, there is still almost a week for the copyright transaction of the film.
However, this has nothing to do with Wang Shu, and he does not need to keep an eye on it personally.
"The Tuner" is jointly invested and produced by China Film, Guangguang, and Wang Shu's Yishu Company.
Among them, China Film not only accounts for the highest investment proportion, but also has related businesses.
So, the overseas copyright transaction of "The Tuner" has always been led by people from China Film Group, assisted by people from Guangwang and Yishu Company.
As for the search for European brands, Wang Shu has already completed the search before the award ceremony. The next step is to arrange for people to connect with them to complete the acquisition and establish a clothing brand and accessories company in China.
The old petty fights are a thing of the past.
From now on, it’s time to get serious.
Regarding clothing brands, footwear brands, and accessories brands, Wang Shu does not intend to just establish one or two brands to include them, but will establish several independent brands based on market classification.
For example, for clothing, three different independent brands can be established for high-end, mid-range, and lower-tier markets.
In this way, ordinary brands in the sinking market will not lower the quality of high-end brands just because they are the same brand as high-end brands.
The same goes for accessories.
High fever is over, low fever...
But the status is much better
It should resume normal updates
