Ace Hollywood

However, this time his judgment seems to have gone wrong.

"I think "The Pianist" takes priority in terms of the ability to express the theme." French director Claude Miller spoke first. This well-known French director of the Mesozoic era is the successor of the trendy movies. He has been shortlisted for The Palme d'Or at the 51st Cannes Film Festival, and finally won a Grand Jury Prize. Now he recommends -- also French films.

Another French director, Regis Vanier, quickly followed suit, thinking that the Cannes award should be awarded to Polanski.

They didn't seem to notice the strange looks of other judges looking at them, and those eyes were full of doubts and even a little sarcasm.

The French really want to keep the Palme d'Or in France this time.

However, no one can accuse them of their selfishness. The reason is of course very direct and simple. If "The Pianist" is shoddy, then you can easily put a hat on the two selfish directors. But this is not the case. Of the five films that entered the second round, two were in the United States, one in Finland and one in Belgium, and the rest was The Pianist, which was co-produced by France, Germany and Poland. "The Pianist" is definitely one of the best.

However, the last Palme d'Or was given to French and Italian films. If the Palme d'Or stays in France for two consecutive years, there may be some doubtful voices, which made the rest of the judges think that Claude and Regis would Advocate for the award to "The Man Without a Past," another film that is considered to be of high quality.

But now it seems that this is not the case at all, and the French are not worried about being inundated by gossip.

David frowned. To be honest, he was not without a little selfishness in his heart. Two American works were released in the second round, whether it was "About Schmidt" starring Jack Nicholson, or the talented young Anderson. And the talented "Muddy Love", should all be taken into account. However, as the chairman of the jury, he has no plans to interfere with everyone's judgment.

Everyone started to express their opinions on these.

"The Pianist" was also recognized by Kristin in Indonesia, and won three votes, while "Confused Love" and "The Man Without the Past" both had two votes, and the remaining one belonged to Brazilian director Walter Sa Les, who voted for Belgium's Sons.

Eight votes belong to each, David Lynch also has one, but the selection of Cannes is definitely not the minority wins the majority, but everyone needs to reach an agreement, at least seven or eight of the nine people must win this award .

But without waiting for him to speak, Director Claude began canvassing for his choice.

He said that in "The Man Without the Past", only the performance of the heroine Katie Odinen is remarkable, but the whole story is not very good, even slightly procrastinated and deliberately obscure. "The Sons" was criticized by him for having some cheap sensational scenes. Although Olivier's performance was good, the obvious shortcomings should not be ignored. As for "Confused Love", what he said was even worse.

"Director Paul is very young, I was pleasantly surprised to see his genius in the film, yes, this is a man with talent. But the relationship between film and talent is not equal, this film is so immature, it wants to show The subject matter is utterly underwhelming, and while the genius has allowed that to be smeared through, it's hard to imagine the horrific impact that a film like this would have on the authority of the festival by winning the Palme d'Or."

Claude ruthlessly criticized all other works.

David Lynch thinks that the French director is really not very smart. Even though there are two French judges in the team, more of them are from France. He is so arrogant and domineering, do you think he can be recognized by everyone else? ? What's more, as the chairman of the jury, he has not shown his inclination at all.

Seeing that the judges hadn't refuted Claude, David felt that he needed to beat them.

"Yes, every film is very good, but it also has flaws and shortcomings. Like The Pianist, this film has a very good entry point, a pianist in World War II and a dislocated pianist. Obviously, Polanski The power of control is the same as before." David paused, "However, we must realize that we can use a peaceful and calm perspective to look at that cruel history, but it should have enough strength. Peace, not bland, calm , nor should it be considered indifference."

Salles signaled that he needed to speak, and David understood that the counterattack against Claude and Regis would begin.

"Yes, Sons does have some shortcomings. I agree with Claude and David for their praise for The Pianist. Polanski's control is amazing. I think The Pianist deserves the Palme d'Or, And Olivier should be the best actor, his performance is very convincing."

"Yes, I also recognize Olivier." Claude said.

"No, now it's just discussing the Palme d'Or, the best actor and the actress, and they'll discuss it later."

David and Sharon Stone looked at each other and understood what the situation was now.

These directors outside of Hollywood are clearly targeting them, not each other.

He glanced at Michelle Yeoh again, but Yang avoided his gaze.

After weighing it in his heart, David made a decision.

"Looks like 'The Pianist' is getting more recognition, it has some problems, but Daniel Sandler's performance makes up for it and makes it feel less lacking. Mr. **** is very young, but he obviously It has been integrated with this film, and because of him, this film has the vitality and charm it is today..."

……

Media reporters from all over the world sensed that the collective action jury was somewhat discordant. David and his wife walked the red carpet with Sharon Stone and Michelle Yeoh, while Indonesia's Kristin joined Chilean director Raoul. · Reis walking side by side, two French directors and Brazil's Walter teamed up, leaving only the Danish director Billy August, who won the Palme d'Or at Cannes twice.

The camps are clear. Obviously, this is the aftermath of the debate during the awards. At the time of the opening, everyone was not so clear-cut.

The reporters tried to analyze the results at the last moment, but unfortunately, these judges basically did not say anything during the more than ten days of the film festival, and everyone could not confirm their tendencies based on their nationality and past works.

As for the candidates for the major awards.

The 22 films that were shortlisted for the Palme d'Or were all present, including Best Actor, Olivier, Jack Nicholson, and Daniel Sandler. The queens were Zhao Tao from China, Kati from Finland, and Daniel **** from Denmark. Connie Nielsen is also there, and there is no clear guess as to who will win the grand prize in the end.

Daniel knew that Connie's "The Devil's Lover" was shortlisted in Cannes, but Connie did not attend the opening ceremony, and they did not meet.

Since the promotion period of "Gladiator", this is the first time the two have met. It can be seen that Cannes is indeed a good place for the world's filmmakers to meet.

Neither side talked about whether to win the award or not, but just talked about each other's work and life during this period. In Connie's words, you only need to pay attention to Daniel's news to know what kind of life he lives every day. Apart from a wry smile, Daniel really has nothing to refute, some are the results of paparazzi, some are the results of Triver, no matter what. However, it is a fact that his personal space is very narrow.

But there is nothing to complain about. Personal space is often inversely proportional to the popularity and popularity of coffee. When you are too angry and no one cares, the entire universe is your private space. This is certainly not the consequence that any Hollywood star hopes.

The awards ceremony at Cannes was quite concise, not as splendid as the Oscars. Everyone sat below, the presenters announced one by one, and then ended.

For the film festival, awards are not the most important thing. International distributors negotiating purchase contracts, celebrities from all walks of life, and making friends at parties after parties are more important than awards. To a certain extent, this is also the reason why the gold content of the three major international film festivals is inferior to that of the national awards in the United States, not just the fact that Hollywood is the world film center.

When the 55th anniversary special will be awarded to "Bowling of Columbine", it was announced out of the game, and Michael Moore's reluctant expression in accepting the award was of course taken for granted, and the subsequent "Divine Intervention"—— The winners of the Special Jury Prize are also similar. The best screenplay award went to Britain's Sweet Sixteen. Then came Best Director, Polanski's body tightened a little bit, although he thought it was almost impossible, as usual, if he won Best Director, then the Palme d'Or and Best Actor would be missed from "The Pianist", Ya Kobu's intention to inform Daniel was too bad--purely to trick him into making fun of him.

Sure enough, even though the double-yolk egg was given, South Korea's Lim Kwon-taek and American Paul Thomas Anderson both won awards, but Polanski failed to receive his lectures.

However, he obviously did not lose anything. For Cannes, there is only one Palme d'Or in the strict sense, and all the previous awards combined cannot compare to this one.

When the Grand Jury Prize was awarded to "A Man Without a Past", Kaurismaki gave the heroine Katie Odinen a wry smile. Any of the following awards was more attractive than this one. Unfortunately, they Just stop there. However, this year's Cannes obviously intends to go off the beaten path. Just as Kaurismaki returned to his seat, he heard a familiar name.

He glanced at Katie Odin in disbelief, and the other party was obviously unprepared.

Best actress, usually we call Cannes actress, was also won by "A Man Without a Past", and Katie Odin received the warmest applause so far at the awards ceremony.

Polanski and Daniel looked at each other and laughed together. In any case, it looks like one of the last two prizes belongs to them.

"You have to trust me, and I hope it's the Palme d'Or."

Daniel said this when Kati gave his acceptance speech.

Polanski winked, "But I hope to be the best actor."

Of course, he got a blank eye from Daniel.

However, when the presenter pronounced "Daniel Sandler" in not particularly idiomatic English, the faces of both parties stiffened.

My God, he is actually a movie star.

He hugged the slightly disappointed Polanski, and Daniel walked up to the stage amid the sound of blessings. On the way, he also met Connie Nielsen and kissed the back of her hand before Daniel walked out of the seating area.

After the prepared but unforgettable award speech was finished, he returned to Polanski's side.

"This result is already good."

Daniel nodded, "So the Palme d'Or belongs to "The Sons"? Now the old men are going to be angry. Roman? Roman?"

"We got the Palme d'Or!"

"what?"

He really didn't pay attention to it just now, because it seems that besides "Sons", there doesn't seem to be any other option in the big hits. So, "The Pianist" won the Palme d'Or?

"That's great, Roman."

"Let's go to the stage together~www.readwn.com~Daniel."

Polanski did not give Daniel a chance to hesitate, but took his forearm and walked all the way to the stage.

Daniel even held his Best Actor trophy in his hand, which was placed in a square black box.

Until he walked out of the award ceremony and was surrounded by media reporters like locusts, Daniel still had a slight lack of realism. Yes, "The Pianist" swept the Palme d'Or and the best actor, which was not particularly surprising. "Piano Teacher" won the best actor and actress, and the previous "Dancer in the Dark" won both the Palme d'Or and the best actress. This is a precedent. However, since the opening of the film festival, the voice for "The Pianist" to win the award has not been high. With the directing style of David Lynch, it is normal for this film to be unattractive. In this mentality, winning two awards is the reason why Daniel is so unexpected.

Whether it was him or the onlookers, A, B, C, and D, of course, they would never have imagined a fight in the jury.

David Lynch, after realizing that The Pianist was unstoppable, strongly proposed Daniel **** with chairman authority over Olivier Gourmet before him. Sharon Stone, Michelle Yeoh, and Christine all voted in favor of each other. They think differently from each other, but they do choose the same thing. David's temporary change caught Daniel off guard and won the best actor.

"The Pianist", which is not so popular now, won the Palme d'Or and the best actor, and was praised to the sky. The Palme d'Or has been kept in Cannes, France for two consecutive years. Obviously, it will face doubts. The important thing is that Daniel Sandler, who won the best actor, is still an American and a Hollywood star through and through.

Claude and Regis should not be in such a beautiful mood.
