Chapter 947 Return to the Movie
Ho ho ho, ho ho ho.
The heat wave is coming.
But Anson knows that compared to admiration and cheers, there is more ridicule - the kind of good intentions. The Palme d'Or should be the director's moment, not the actor's; what's more, Anson's performance in "Elephant" "He is not the absolute protagonist in this work, and he should not enjoy such special treatment.
The scene is booing.
However, if you stand on stage and keep being polite and declining, it will look pretentious.
So, Anson came out.
Standing in front of the microphone, Anson did not rush to speak, but waited patiently, waiting for the cheers to subside, waiting for a gap when he could speak.
Finally, the applause and cheers returned to calm, and the audience focused on Anson.
Anson glanced at the audience, took a deep breath, and seemed to be finally ready. He was about to give a eloquent and touching speech.
"Thank you!"
Anson said.
After saying that, Anson turned back to Alex and Eric and stood there with a calm face, leaving the entire Lumiere Hall in place.
Because it was too short and too sudden, the audience was completely stunned——
That’s it?
Wait, what just happened, is this?
The two of them looked at each other, amidst the silence and astonishment, there was actually a sense of joy.
Indeed, the Palme d'Or should be the director's moment, and there is no need for actors to come out and join in the fun. People expect Anson to be more understanding and not to turn the Palme d'Or into his own moment, and just say a few polite words.
But, so brief? So simple?
Shocked!
Then, gradually coming to his senses, Anson responded to Gus in such a way, and also brought the focus back to the film and the director in such a way. With every gesture, he actually created a comedy effect from the mime era - —
I couldn’t help laughing.
One second ago, people were still teasing and making noises, wanting to see what tricks Anson could pull off.
The next second, Anson’s ingenious response successfully set off the audience.
Laughter, applause, cheers and whistles, screams and boos all broke out, sweeping across the entire Lumiere Hall like a roaring tsunami.
Little by little, we continue to climb new heights. At this moment, tonight's closing ceremony and awards ceremony has reached the real climax.
Thierry is no exception. After the red carpet, this is his second time to appreciate Anson’s on-the-spot treatment at close range.
On the stage, Gus, Alex and Eric deliberately distanced themselves a little apart, applauded Anson, and urged Anson to continue forward.
Anson:? ? ?
Things, right?
A smile crept up the corner of his mouth, but Anson still didn't squirm. He returned to the microphone again. Waiting for the sound to calm down a little, he turned slightly to look at Gus.
"Sorry, director, for taking away your grace. I feel as if I won the Palme d'Or."
Haha, hahaha.
It’s hilarious.
This time, after the applause ended, all the guests and the audience did not sit down. Instead, they remained standing, raised their heads, and collectively stared at Anson.
For a brief moment, Anson seemed to be standing at the center of the world.
“Thank you very much for this experience. In just ten days in Cannes, every minute and every second here reminds me why we like movies and why we devote ourselves to movies, because we love it? No, because of the movie itself , because the time and space in the movie screen allow us to dream boldly. ""Elephant" just proves that the most beautiful and moving thing about movies is that the future of movies is where movies start. .”
Hoo, ho ho ho.
At the scene, people immediately cheered and responded with applause.
But this time, Anson did not stop, but continued talking vigorously.
“There is no place more perfect and romantic than a movie theater. Those sounds, lights, shadows, and colors make us willing to believe in something that has long since withered in our hearts.”
“For example, dreams. Such as The future. Like art."
"So, I'm honored to be a part of 'Elephant' and I'm honored to be a part of the Cannes Film Festival."
Bang bang bang, roar ho ho ho.
In an instant, the entire Lumière Hall stirred, and the astonishing energy burst out in an instant, breaking out of the wall in a devastating manner and spreading towards the entire Cinema Palace and even Cannes.
Nicolas, Karl, Emmanuel, and the reporters who were hesitating at the entrance of the Film Palace all looked in the same direction, feeling the vibrations in the air up close, and their hearts couldn't help but Trembling slightly, the pinnacle moment of Cannes 2003 is happening.
Everything is about movies.
It’s all about the cinema.
It's very French.
France has always believed that film is a great art, and firmly believes that films should belong to cinemas. Video tapes and DVDs should be specially used for collection, or to unearth gems that have settled in the long river of time, but if If you really like it, you should go to the cinema.
This is what they say and what they do. France’s art theaters have always been among the best in the world, and art films and independent films have always been among the best in support here; not only the audience is willing to support, but also different Institutions and different sponsors are also willing to spend money on these projects.
Of course, in an era when commercial films are sweeping the world, France will inevitably feel the impact. Hollywood films are becoming more and more influential among the younger generation. With the development of globalization and the Internet age, Nowadays, the new generation in France is also facing the crisis of cultural degeneration.
Precisely because of this, the existence of the Cannes Film Festival has become more and more precious. They hope to use this platform to reawaken young people's love for movies, and continue to enter movie theaters to express their gratitude to the film industry with practical actions. support.
In front of him, Anson's words hit the core of Cannes accurately, and the Lumière Hall went crazy.
Thierry looked at Anson with surprise in his eyes——
Who would have thought that it was just a small tidbit to make noise. It is estimated that Anson himself did not expect that the Palme d'Or would actually be related to him. It was a direct relationship, the kind that required an acceptance speech; but it turned out to be the most precious and beautiful moment of the 56th Cannes Film Festival.
A perfect way to end the annual Cannes Film Festival.
You know, this is Cannes. They appreciate directors, but they rarely fall in love with actors, even Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio You won't get any special treatment here, and you may even receive a cold reception. Actors have no special privileges in Cannes.
However, at this moment, now, in front of me, Anson is changing this.
Admiration and appreciation showed in Thierry's eyes, and he applauded Anson again, sincerely.
In front of the TV screen, the press conference hall has gone completely crazy——
The official program score is 2.4, and "Elephant" is obviously not people's best choice. The controversy will not go away; but for the "Cortright Family" to reach the Palme d'Or, the scene in front of them can be called a Hollywood finale.
What's more, who can refuse Anson?
Nicholas looked around, and every face was filled with excitement and excitement. At the end of the twists and turns, Cannes came to a perfect end.
