Chapter 592 Unexpected Awards

9days ago Celebrity fiction 8
There are crowds of people in front of the Festival Palace. After nightfall, most of the people scattered in the sun in every corner of Cannes rushed here.

The long red carpet extends from the Festival Palace to the Avenue.On both sides of the red carpet are journalists from all over the world. The cameras in their hands have never stopped flashing, capturing every move of the red carpet stars.

There are countless movie fans on the outside. Whenever a star of your favorite passes by, there will be a burst of cry in the crowd.

Compared with international film festivals like the Cannes Film Festival, the Hong Kong Film Awards held at the Taiping Cinema still seem too shabby.

At least the number of people gathered outside the awards hall is incomparable. In the place where every inch of land is valuable, there are not many open spaces outside the Taiping Cinema for movie fans to gain a foothold.

This year, the 40th Cannes Film Festival was held. Although it has been suspended for several years, it can still be said to be the 40th anniversary of the Cannes Film Festival, so this year it was held particularly strong.

After the award ceremony, there were also celebrations at the Cannes dinner. In addition, the film festival organizing committee also invited many celebrities and political leaders.

It is said that French Prime Minister Jacques René Chirac will also attend the dinner. Kang Jianfei only had one reaction after hearing this: Isn’t France in charge of the president?How come a fucking French Prime Minister emerged.

After inquiring with the translator, I realized that France implemented a dual-head system, and last year the president and the prime minister made a split government.

Several people made jokes for a while, and the award ceremony was about to begin. Tony Leung asked nervously: Can we win the award here?

Sophie Marceau shook his head and said: There is no hope.

Tony Leung asked unwillingly: Why?Our films were very popular when they were screened during the film festival. The Cannes Film Festival magazine also named "Fangfang" the most popular film of this film festival.

Kang Jianfei explained: It is because it is so popular that the judges are unwilling to award the award to "Fangfang" in order to show their unique taste.At film festivals in Europe, it is common to be upset at awards ceremony, but it is not normal to present them to popular movies.

Tony Leung was so sad: That's not to say that our movie has no chance at all.

Sophie Marceau said: Not necessarily, sometimes some movies that are highly praised during the screening can also win the Palme d’Or.However, the easiest thing to win a popular movie is the jury award, which is basically a comforting nature.

Leung Ka-hui smiled and said: It’s not bad to win the jury award.

Wait patiently.Kang Jianfei said.

Whether "Fangfang" won the award is no longer so important. It was rated as the most popular movie by the Cannes Film Festival magazine, which has already played a promotional role. Many overseas film manufacturers have come to discuss film purchases one after another, and even if they win the award, it is just icing on the cake.

The award ceremony officially began soon. After a opening performance, the first prize in the main competition unit, the Art Contribution Award was finally awarded to a composer from England.

Kang Jianfei thinks this award is quite funny, so wouldn’t it be enough to just award the Best Soundtrack Award?I have to get an inexplicable artistic contribution award.

But thinking about it carefully is not right, because this award was awarded to the director last year and to photographers the year before. Who knows what their criteria for judgment are.

The Cannes Film Festival awards are different from the American Oscars. Each Oscar is divided clearly. Before the official awards, each award has several nominations, which can increase people's expectation for awards.

The Cannes Film Festival is much more vague, and the list of shortlisted movies will only be announced in advance. As for what awards these movies will win in the end and whether they can win the award, there is no way to guess.

Next, the Golden Camera Award was taken away by a Soviet, and the next one is the jury award.

This award is generally given to those very popular but numerous movies.

Because some judges in the jury especially like it and will be issued after collective discussion, it is generally of comfort.

Judging from the current situation of "Fangfang", the final one that may be won is the jury award. As for the Palme d'Or, Kang Jianfei did not have hope.

The winner of the jury award was Soleman Cice's "Light"...

When Sophie Marceau and Tony Leung were both a little discouraged when they heard the name of the winning movie. If they missed the jury award, the subsequent awards would be even more difficult to win.

besides……

Hearing these two words, Sophie Marceau and Tony Tony once again ignited hope.

There is also Rentaro's "Aisle", from Japan.

Two jury awards were awarded at once, and it was basically impossible for a third one.

Just when the directors of the two movies went to receive the award, Kang Jianfei asked with a smile: What are you two worried about?Isn’t it just a jury award?The heavier prize is still behind.

How about not being in a hurry?I have been filming in France for 7 years, and this is the first time I have been shortlisted for the Cannes Film Festival.Sophie Marceau obviously valued winning awards at the Cannes Film Festival more than Kang Jianfei.

Kang Jianfei asked: Didn’t you win the Most Promising Young Actress Award for "First Kiss 2"?

Sophie Marceau said: That's the Caesar Award, it's different from the Cannes Film Festival.

Kang Jianfei smiled and said: The Caesar Award is the highest honor of French films.

Sophie Marceau Yang: There are so many tricks in the Caesar Award. I can win the Caesar Award Young Actress Award. In addition to the popularity of "First Kiss 2", the company has also made a lot of efforts behind it.

Kang Jianfei only smiled and no longer commented on the French Caesar Award. This thing is at least reliable than the Chinese Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Award.

After the two directors gave their awards a speech, the award ceremony continued.

The award presenter opened the envelope and announced with a smile: What will be awarded below are temporary unspecified awards for the main competition unit of this Cannes Film Festival...

I heard that it was a very award, but no one took it seriously. Anyway, there would be an inexplicable award in two years, and it was basically a useless existence.

The most popular film award at the Cannes Film Festival, the winner is Kang Jianfei's "Fang Fang", from Hong Kong!

When Tony Leung heard the word "Fang Fang", he stood up from his seat like a conditioned reflex. After he reacted, he became quick and thoughtful, and gave Kang Jian, who stood up later, a celebration hug.

Sophie Marceau was also very excited and took the initiative to catch Kang Jianfei and hug him tightly.

After celebrating, Kang Jianfei said: Let's go up together.

The three of them walked on the stage to receive the trophy and certificate, and Kang Jianfei began to give his award speech: First of all, thanks to all the colleagues in the crew of "Fangfang". It was your efforts that made this movie. At the same time, thank the judges of the Cannes Film Festival for awarding me such a rare award.If I'm not mistaken, I should be holding the only most popular movie trophy in the Cannes Film Festival since the 40th Cannes Film Festival. I feel very honored here...

That's right, "Fangfang" won the unique Cannes Film Festival Most Popular Film Award.

This was originally a title given to "Fangfang" by the film festival magazine, but who knew that the judges actually presented it as an award.

Thinking about what else has been produced in the Cannes Film Festival, the special thank you awards and other things, Kang Jianfei felt the faint evil taste of the jury.
