Chapter 123 The Palme d'Or

9days ago Urban Novels 8
Although Tom Cruise is a few years away from his peak, he is now a first-line Hollywood star.

Looking at his achievements, although it is related to his own hard work, it is still too smooth for most people. In addition, his image as a young idol has always won him a lot of popularity, so it is reasonable to be a little arrogant.

However, as a celebrity with a strong influence in the entertainment industry, he did not master the skill of being different from others. This is a necessary quality for every star, without exception, otherwise the entertainment industry would be over.

In fact, Cruise still did a good job, maintaining a peaceful and modest appearance from beginning to end.

However, although he has been practicing many drama films to change his fixed image since the late 1980s and has won an Oscar nomination for Best Actor in 1990, he did not bring his acting skills to in life with great skills.

Otherwise, how could Adrian see that arrogance?

Look at the Willis and his wife who had dealt with Cruise. After he left, he shrugged and exchanged disapproving eyes. Then he could understand why he summoned so many people to attack when he lost power.

Well, this is just one of the reasons, so there is no need to analyze it carefully.

Before Cruise said goodbye, Adrian sent an invitation as usual. He had obtained the right to adapt the novel Anne Rice and was considering starring in the original cast.

Of course, he has his own plan, and maybe a part-time producer can do it, and he has to find Neil Jordan if the director is.

Cruise still disagreed with the slightest disapproval at the beginning and was just perfunctory when facing the invitation. Although Adrian couldn't make it clear and just expressed his hope to have a chance to cooperate in the future, his appearance that he didn't care about was a little obvious.

But after Nicole Kidman whispered a few words to him, he became enthusiastic again.

If you need it, you can call me or my agent at any time.

Cruise said with a smile, his sincere appearance swept away the arrogance he had before. After all, he was not a fool.

It can also be seen from this that Nicole Kidman is better than him in this regard.

Speaking of which, Nicole seems to be only 25 years old now, and she is young and beautiful. Although she doesn't talk much at the cocktail party, her gray-blue eyes are quite charming.

Until he returned to the hotel, Adrian was thinking about something in his mind.

Another day passed, the award ceremony for the most important moment of the Cannes Film Festival was coming, and celebrities, directors, producers and entertainment journalists from all over the world gathered outside the Grand Theater of Lumière and began the final carnival.

Do you think I'll get the Palme d'Or tonight, Monica?

Adrian asked with a smile after taking Monica's arm, walking all the way across the red carpet into the theater, sitting down in his own position.

Won't.Monica replied coldly, wearing a purple low-cut evening gown, revealing a deep and seductive gully, which was obviously particularly sexy, but her body was slightly tilted when she sat down.

OK OK OK, if it makes you feel more comfortable, it doesn’t matter if you can’t get it.

Adrian laughed and reached out to hug her waist from behind the seat, unlike the first few days of the festival that needed to be covered.

Monica twisted her body symbolically, hummed softly and leaned on Adrian. Although the pain had been relieved a lot, she didn't dare to sit for a long time and could only lie down. It took time to completely eliminate the sequelae.

Although the Cannes Film Festival is supported by the French government, it still has many shortcomings compared to the Oscars. The host's performance can only be considered as just-in-law. The judges sat upright on it, and there were basically no performances such as singing and dancing, which made the entire award ceremony look serious and lively and not as lively as the French pretended attitude.

It is also because of this that even if there are more than a dozen awards to be awarded in total, and there are two places for some awards such as Golden Camera or Judges Award.

But it still didn't take much time to enter the most important link.

Although Adrian can't remember all the winners lists, he is not omniscient and omnipotent after all, and only those who have watched it in his previous life will have memories. And the lighter the impression, the more difficult it is to find it. After all, the popularity of the Cannes Film Festival is not as good as that of the Oscars.

But he was still very clear about those important awards. However, after comparing them one by one, he found that the current 45th Cannes Film Festival has undergone considerable changes, such as the Best Director Award was awarded to Denmark's Bill August!

You should know that in the original trajectory, his "Betrayal of Good Will" won the Palme d'Or.

When he heard the name, Adrian grabbed Monica's hand and tightened.

Basically, it is impossible for Bill August to win the Palme d'Or, because Cannes is much better than the Oscars in terms of cake splitting, and there are rarely any movies that win several awards.

As for whether this principle is good or bad, it is difficult to evaluate.

You'll get it, Ed.Monica said softly at this time, what had been before would not be just a joke.

Adrian didn't answer, but just smiled and patted her hand.

Next is the jury special award with two quotas. If the name of "Pulp Novel" is not available, the possibility of getting the Palme d'Or will be greatly improved.

But this is not easy. If you compare it with the Oscars, the Palme d'Or is a combination of the Best Film and Best Director awards. Generally speaking, if you can win the jury special award at the previous Cannes Film Festival, you will be greatly improved.

Of course, there are also many movies that directly take the Palme d'Or, but the proportion is relatively small.

But as a person with a strong desire to control, Adrian doesn't like this kind of inability to grasp.

However, it is interesting to try this feeling occasionally. Anyway, Palme d'Or is not something that must be obtained in the plan, so this will make him feel a little uncertain and excited.

The special award was the Italian movie: "The Little Thief"!And the Spanish movie: "Light Fantasy"!

With the announcement of the host, warm applause suddenly erupted at the scene.

Adrian also breathed a long sigh, now waiting for the last moment.

About the two award-winning directors also realized this, and their speeches were very short.

After they left, the host joked a few more times and immediately announced that the award presenter would come on stage.

Soon, a tall and slender figure walked out from behind rows of frame-like decorations, curly long hair, young and beautiful face, and gray-blue eyes. Who is it if it wasn't Nicole Kidman?

She was still wearing the dress she had at the cocktail party that day, with a thin-shoulder evening dress, black transparent stockings and flat shoes, but a pair of black long gloves added, which made her temperament even more outstanding, and Adrian couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

As Nicole appeared on the stage, the host introduced everyone, but after a few words, he pulled the topic back to the Palme d'Or. Nicole stood by with a smile and said nothing.

Compared with the Oscars, the award presenter at the Cannes Film Festival is completely a vase. Men and women, the only thing that comes on stage is to hand over the list to the host, then watch the host call out his name, and then wait until the winner comes on stage to give a speech before leaving.

Frenchman Ah...

Adrian shook his head in his heart, and then focused his attention on the host. The middle-aged man in a suit and combed his head back and touched the long scroll handed over by Nicole.

Well, now I announce it.He said dryly but formally that at this film festival, the American movie "Pulp Novel" won the Palme d'Or!

Adrian, who couldn't help but clenched his fists, waved his hand slightly, and a rare look of excitement and excitement appeared on his face. I have to admit that it is indeed exciting to do this occasionally.

The applause followed, and the surrounding area was particularly warm. The seats in the theater were all divided by region, and Americans were sitting nearby, clapping their hands hard, whether they were jealous or not.

After shook hands with Travolta, Jackson, Willis, Dennis and others one by one, Adrian, who had adjusted his condition, walked onto the stage with a smile on his face.

Thanks, Lyrmitt, thanks, Nicole.

He shook hands with the host and Nicole, and then took the trophy from the host Lyrmitt, a golden palm coconut stuck to the boxy chamfered transparent crystal.

Thanks to the judges for giving this honor to me, it was really exciting and exciting, and I never thought that one day I would stand here and pick up the trophy of the Palme d’Or when I was making this movie.Thank you to the starring actors who participated, thank you all the crew members, thank you for all those who supported me, thank you very much!

Adrian said, shaking the trophy in his hand.

Because this is France and the host uses French from beginning to end, Adrian's speech is also in French.

His French is not very good, and there is no problem with listening or speaking, but if he speaks too quickly, he will be inconsistent with the words, so Adrian tried to speak as slowly as possible in his speech, and the content was shorter and more popular.

As a result, his French language was both clear and ups and downs. After the speech, he received warm applause from the French. Even the host and the French judges sitting not far away clapped. In addition, the Americans were also supporting the directors of their own country, and the enthusiasm in the theater was much higher than before.

Adrian bowed slightly, holding the trophy and going down, and Nicole was about to follow him, and the two almost collided, which immediately attracted a few laughs.

Feel sorry.Nicole said a little embarrassedly.

It doesn't matter.Adrian made a gentlemanly gesture to invite him.

Perhaps because of this, Nicole suddenly turned her body and almost fell to the ground as she went down the steps. Fortunately, Adrian, who was following behind, held her arm in time.

Don't worry, it's okay.He whispered, and when Nicole stood firm, he let go of his hand, and the gentlemanly action immediately received a lot of applause.

Thanks.Nicole smiled at him and walked towards her seat without looking back.

Adrian didn't say anything else, and also went straight back to his seat.
