Best Actor

    Cannes in May is a good place to travel. The blue sky, white clouds, beaches, yachts, and French beauties in bikinis constitute a unique landscape that belongs to Cannes. If you add the film festival, as well as stars, directors, and film companies from all over the world, the scenery will be even more beautiful.

    Although since the 1980s, the European film market has been conquered by Hollywood one by one, and in the 1990s it has been completely defeated, but the self-proclaimed American has a deeper history and tradition than the vulgar Americans. Europeans are not very convinced, so they hold high the humanities and art as the last banner to talk to themselves, and ignore the others, like ostriches burying their heads in the sand.

    So, this last flag cannot stop the commercialization of the Cannes Film Festival. This is not to say that Cannes began to prefer commercial films. For Europeans who hold high the banner of art, especially the French, This is not acceptable. However, Cannes is more and more like a large-scale film trading market. If the three major film festivals in Europe in the 1960s and 1970s only made directors and actors famous, now they have shifted to allowing more participating films to find buyers.

    As I said before, it is very difficult to release independent films. Hollywood produces countless independent films every year, but less than 10 are successfully released, so the Sundance Film Festival came into being. pregnancy. Then Cannes also followed suit and began to build itself into a film trading platform. As one of the oldest film festivals, Cannes' appeal is already much higher than that of Sundance. Films from all over the world can come to the exhibit, and then look for distributors who are willing to take over.

    Although Sundance also accepts films from outside North America, it is mainly aimed at North American films, so the Cannes Film Festival after the rectification is still widely sought after, not to mention, the Palme d'Or is also in all film festivals. It is the most important award.

    Of course, if you want to get it, it is only possible for those so-called high-art movies, such as—

    "The winners of the best director are Joel Cohen and David Lynch!" With the voice of the presenters, there was an uproar, and it was actually a double yolk egg!

      What kind of song and dance performance, so applauding the winners has become the most lively part.

    Naomi is also applauding, excitedly applauding, not only for David Lynch, but also for the film she took, "Mulholland Drive".

    As soon as the film was released in Cannes, it immediately received numerous acclaim, many critics called it a masterpiece, and European media even called it the best of the summer of American movies.

    "The ubiquitous hints, the details full of metaphors, the changing characters, the stories that are difficult to see and echo each other, make people feel like they are in a dream." This is the French "Le Figaro" Description of the previous article.

    In addition, they complimented Naomi as the heroine, saying that she not only needed to show the innocence and confidence of a newcomer, but also the struggle of despair, and there was a scene in the middle A play-in-play similar to an exam, in short, this Betty and Dane complex may be the most difficult movie role to date this year.

    European filmmakers like this tune, as if only movies that are very difficult to understand can have real art.

    Don't mention this, in short, Naomi gained a high reputation at the Cannes Film Festival with "Mulholland Drive", but unfortunately, the best actress was awarded to France after all Veteran actress, Isabelle Huppert.

    Although Naomi feels regret, it is not unacceptable, not to mention that her mind is not on this, but she has seen her figure in Cannes several times in the past few days.

    Thinking of this, she raised her head and looked around, as if she wanted to find him, but with so many people in the venue, how could it be so easy to find? I don't know if I will be able to attend the awards ceremony.

     Her restless heart became a little chaotic again. In fact, after Galen came to the apartment that day, Naomi's heart began to chaotic. Although she repeatedly told herself that the matter had passed and that there was nothing to worry about, she vaguely agreed with Galen's statement that it would be unfair to anyone to make such a decision without fully understanding a person. .

    The world is not so fair, and I can only think about myself. Naomi had tried to console herself like this, but she soon discovered that this was what Sean had said to her. Well, then if you can't decide, don't do it, and once you do, stick to it... That's what Sean said to her.

    Naomi suddenly found that her life was already full of the imprint of this young man 11 years younger than her, which she could not forget.

    She thought she would be better when she came to Cannes, but in fact she did get a certain calm in the first few days. Unfamiliar places can always attract people's attention to a certain extent. After the release of "Heland Road", it won a lot of word-of-mouth and diverted attention, and it was finally better.

    But as the awards ceremony approached, Naomi suddenly found Sean's figure in the crowd, yes, it was him, it must be, she believed she was not wrong, but...why did he will come here?

    Sean had planned to bring "My Great Greek Wedding" to Cannes to participate in the exhibition. Naomi heard him say it, but the movie has already been released, and he still What are you doing here? Yes, Sean also said that he wants to accompany her to the Cannes Film Festival, but she has already ended their relationship with each other, how could he come here? What's more, he was still running back and forth between the two crews.

    Several times, Naomi wanted to go over and grab him to ask what happened, but she finally endured. And Sean didn't come over to say hello to her, but just stood at a distance and looked at her silently, with an indescribable sadness in his eyes.

    "Congratulations, David." After Lynch came back with the scroll representing the best director, Naomi and the crew congratulated him together, but their eyes were always scanning the venue from time to time .

    Come on, Sean, we've agreed. She said so in her heart, but after pulling the shoulder straps of her evening dress, she couldn't help but show a wry smile. He chose this light-colored dress for himself.

    Soon, the award ceremony was over, and the participating stars also left in twos and threes after three games. Naomi answered the hotel where she was staying with the crew and was ready to attend the subsequent party.

    Such a party is prepared from the beginning. After all, "Mulholland Drive" has a good reputation in Cannes, and there are already publishers willing to take over it. Even if there is nothing in the end, it is worth celebrating .

    After chatting with a few people at the party, Naomi went to the corner alone. Although everyone was in a good mood, she was really in no mood now.

    It's just that although she doesn't look for things, things will come to her, and soon a familiar voice rings in her ears: "Congratulations, Nami."

    Naomi was startled, she opened her eyes in disbelief and looked at the man who was silently approaching her, she was speechless for a while, the latter touched her embarrassedly Nose: "What, I look horrible today?"

    "No, I'm just a little surprised." As soon as she spoke, she couldn't help but startled again, her voice was so dry.

    The two just stared at each other like this, standing in the corner and keeping silent, still walking around with other people, there were also a few guys who thought about picking up a conversation, but seeing them Vice-look, they all left again.

    "Would you like to go out for a walk?" Sean finally spoke, and Naomi, who was biting her lip, nodded.

    There is a beach not far from the hotel. Although the night sky is as thick as ink, people still choose to walk on the beach from time to time under the light of the seaside lights.

    "Why do you want to come here?" After a silent distance together, Naomi finally asked.

    "I didn't intend to come, and I think...you probably don't want to see me here either," Shawn said softly, "but Galen told me that since I think Mulholland Dao" can be given to you, since I recommended you to act, even if it's over... I should watch you get the praise you deserve, so... I can really rest assured."

    Naomi was stunned for a few seconds, then bent down, her body trembled uncontrollably, and the other party's soft words shattered her defense that had been pried open.

    "Nami, are you okay?" Sean quickly helped her up.

    She covered her mouth, tried her best not to make a sound, and turned her head to the side, but still couldn't stop the tears from sliding down her face.

    "Don't do this, Nami, don't do this." Sean was about to embrace her, "Believe me, the hardest time has passed, I have been in Cannes for the past few days, film review I have seen people's comments. Even if you don't believe me, you should believe in their level, right? So, you will receive a lot of attention and win a lot of awards for this movie, maybe not the level of the Oscars, but It is enough to prove your worth, and you will also receive countless attention and applause. I have said, and I have always said, that you will definitely have your own honor, and God will not disappoint people who work hard like you."

    He held her tightly in his arms and whispered in her ear, every word was so firm and powerful.

    "Although...even though...most people who watched it said it was good...but I'm still worried...very worried...I don't know if I can really see the light...I have There is no next decade to waste... and you... are getting further and further away from me..." Naomi said intermittently.

    She finally raised her head, tears welling in her eyes: "In your arms... I'm safe, no one can hurt... But not in your arms? I don't know , Sean, I'm scared, what if one day...I lose you? I can't help but think about it because...because..."

    "I'm sorry, Nami, I'm sorry..." Sean cupped her cheek, "I can't promise you anything...but I know...you've made it, you've got your head up in Hollywood. Yes. I said "The Genius Ripley" was going to sell, it was going to sell, I said "My Big Greek Wedding" was going to be selling, and it was going to sell, and now I say you're going to be success."

    Then, tearful Naomi wrapped around Sean's neck and kissed his mouth fiercely.
