The voting method in Cannes is secret ballot. Although there are discussions, it is only a small-scale persuasion.

Basically, we will discuss it after reading a work.

Of course, the final award cannot be dominated by one, so there will be a collective discussion before the final vote.

However, until the final vote was held, no one knew the final award!

That night, the staff sent an invitation letter to "Paradise Cinema".

This means that "Cinema Paradise" will definitely win the award!

I just don't know if it's the Palme d'Or!

...

As we all know, the Cannes Film Festival has two major traditions. One is the enthusiasm and unrestrained production of France, like palm trees on the Mediterranean and bikini on the golden beach; the other is the mavericks of mixed praise and criticism. Some accused the gimmick of commercial hype that concealed the light of art, and some summarized it as the jumping aesthetics of the jury members with different styles every year.

No one can predict the awards at the Cannes Film Festival!

In fact, it is true. Oscars have a lot of media predictions every year, and Las Vegas even makes a bet. However, almost no one has the courage to make a mistake in front of the Cannes Film Festival. It is impossible to be able to get one of the best director, best screenwriter, best actor, and best actress. Usually, deliberate calculations are inevitable that the four majors will be empty, let alone the works of the "Palme d'Or" and "Judges Award" participating in the Cannes Film Festival. Don't be unanimously sought after by local media, otherwise 100% of them will be lost.

On the closing day of the film festival, countless fans and media gathered in front of the movie palace again. Of course, compared with the highly anticipated opening ceremony, the closing red carpet was relatively smaller.

The closing targets the entries, and even Fan Xiaopang can't stand it and step on the red carpet of the closing...

The media also focused on the award ceremony that was held later.

"Of course I really hope my film will win, but."

Xu Hui, wearing a black suit, stood in the media interview area. When facing the interview with domestic reporters, he said calmly: "As long as the audience likes "Paradise Cinema", I will be very satisfied!"

He is as stable as a dog on the surface, but his heart is a little throbbing.

The last time I had this mentality, many people were born!

It feels so uncomfortable to hand over your destiny to others!

After dealing with it for a few words, he left the interview area and walked towards the Movie Palace.

There was Jia Zhangke standing in front of the movie palace gate, and his wife stood beside him, Zhao Tao...

"Old Jia..."

"Director Xu!"

Jia Zhangke smiled happily. The overseas sales of "Destiny" were done well. At this time, he still had some fantasies that the movie could be released...

"Congratulations, "Destiny" will definitely gain something!"

“…Where is still not as good as “Paradise Cinema”…”

The domestic exposure of "Destiny" is pitifully low, and the mainstream media did not report it at all, so only a few tabloids mentioned it.

Xu Hui and Jia Zhangke had no common ground at all. They said that they were different and did not make plans. They just said a few words. Al Pacino on the other side had already accepted the interview and nodded to Lao Jia. Xu Hui took the lead in entering the movie palace.

"…Didn't you say you wanted to ask him for help?"

After Xu Hui left, Zhao Tao glanced at Jia Zhangke and asked.

Jia Zhangke withdrew his gaze and glanced at his wife: "Why should I help me? Forget it, I'd better think of a solution myself!"

“…What can I do?”

"Foreigns feed back to China, as long as "Destiny" can win the grand prize, those people dare not do it too well!"

...

The award ceremony officially began, and the first one was awarded was the Golden Camera Award.

The so-called golden camera is an award award to the director's debut work, which is equivalent to the Best Newcomer Award.

It was awarded to "My Parents Are Not At Home", and Ang Lee particularly likes this work!

Following up is the best short film and script award.

The script award was awarded to Jia Zhangke's "Destiny"...

The expression on Lao Jia's face was a bit regrettable, and the script award was obviously not enough!

Wang Xiaoshuai's "Qinghong" won the Cannes Film Festival Jury Award back then. How many people know about it?

If you can't get the Palme d'Or, it means that you don't have enough weight. It's difficult for "Destiny" to be released in China.

And compared to the script award, he wants Zhao Tao to win the Cannes Best Actress!

Alas, Lao Jia is really a lover, and he has made a lot of movies, and the male protagonist has changed a lot of them, and the female protagonist is always his own wife.

Coordinates: In 2018, Jia Zhangke made a comeback. "The Children of Jianghu" formed Xu Baldy, Feng Xiaogang, Diao Yinan, Zhang Yibai, director world f4, the male lead chose Liao Fan, the female lead, can't be beaten, Zhao Tao!

Zhao Tao's character is a young model...

He really has his own wife filter. Lao Jia absolutely loves Zhao Tao. He will never give up until he wins the Cannes Best Actress!

It's almost as good as Shen Lin...

The award ceremony continues, followed by the Director Award and the Jury Award…

The Director Award was awarded to "Helley", and the Jury Award was awarded to "Drunk Country Folk Song"

"Ok, Best Actress at the 66th Cannes International Film Festival..."

The highlight is here.

If the Best Actress is awarded to the two actresses in "Adele's Life", it means that the Palme d'Or will be out of the way!

Xu Hui was a little nervous.

Then from the award presenter Vidya Balan said, ‘Bergenis-Becho, congratulations!’

Damn it!

It is already obvious that "Cinema Paradise" is gone!

Paralyzed...

Speechless!

"Thank you director Asha Fahati, thank you for the whole crew, wow, this is the most memorable moment of my life..."

Beginese-Becio was so excited that he almost cried.

Xu Hui was almost crying!

What a fucking dog!

But there is still a glimmer of life. If the next best actor is not awarded to Al Pacino, there will be a chance "Cinema Paradise"!

Haha, he's overthinking!

Ang Lee read out the winner without saying nonsense: "Best Actor at the 66th Cannes International Film Festival...Al Pacino!"

What a fuck...

Xu Hui was as stable as a dog, accepted Al Pacino's hug, congratulations, and then watched the old man come on stage...

"Thanks to Cannes, thanks to Director Xu Hui, a good movie can make the actors empathize. I am 73 years old. Few scripts can make me feel eager for movies again. Thanks to "Paradise Cinema", and look forward to working with you next time!"

The old man has been in the film industry for so many years, and he must have known the rules of Cannes and knows that "Paradise Cinema" has basically no chance to win the Palme d'Or. Therefore, this award statement can be regarded as an affirmation of Xu Hui and his reputation for "Paradise Cinema"!

Xu Hui had a very warm smile on his face, and it seemed that he was not affected at all...

The subsequent Palme d'Or was awarded to "Adele's Life"...

Watching director Abu Dai Cosych speak solemnly on the podium: "This movie is global and pure love... Thanks to Cannes, for giving this movie the respect it deserves..."
Chapter completed!
