This is not the first time Kang Jianfei has been to Cannes. After coming to the hotel this time, he also had a meal with Cannes Film Excerpt Director Giles Jacob.
An international film festival must be all-encompassing. If only some European and American films participate in the Cannes Film Festival every year, it can only be considered a European and American film festival at most.
For the past decade, Giles Jacob has been the director of Cannes Film Excerpts, and has been committed to bringing the Cannes Film Festival to the world and constantly discovering excellent directors and films from Asia.
This time, "Trumen's World" participated in the Cannes Film Festival, which was Kang Jianfei, whom Giles Jacob took the initiative to contact, and was directly shortlisted for the main competition unit.
In Giles Jacob's view, Kang Jianfei is not only an excellent director in Asia, but also "Trumen's World" is also excellent enough and is very popular in Asia and the United States, which is conducive to increasing the attention of the Cannes Film Festival outside Europe.
Speaking of this year's Cannes Film Festival, there is another Hong Kong film that participated and received extremely high praise. This Hong Kong film is Wong Kar-wai's "The Legend of Ah Fei".
When walking the red carpet, Kang Jianfei met the crew of "The Legend of Ah Fei", with Wong Kar-wai, Leslie Cheung, Carina Lau, Andy Lau, Maggie Cheung and others all there.
Jacky Cheung was a secondary supporting role and was preparing for a concert in Hong Kong, so he did not follow him.
Hello, Mr. Kang!
Wong Kar-wai took the initiative to come over and shook hands with Kang Jianfei to greet him.
Although he became famous in the past two years, he received his salary under Kang Jianfei when he was with Chen Xunqi.
Hello, "The Legend of A Fei" is well filmed.Kang Jianfei praised, his tone was quite like a senior who affirmed his junior.
Kang Jianfei is not saying politely. Wong Kar-wai’s movies are really of high quality, but they are not suitable for watching with lovers in the cinema, because they are too boring, and some places need to be watched repeatedly and carefully before they can be understood.
Such movies are suitable for watching videotapes by one person, and Wong Kar-wai's videotapes have always been very good.
Wong Kar-wai is just the first battle in Cannes this year. He is quite flattered by the film critics here and said: I am very content to be shortlisted. Mr. Kang's film is very promising to win the big prize this time.
Kang Jianfei smiled and said: Then I wish we all win the award.
After talking to Wong Kar-wai, Kang Jianfei patted Leslie Cheung's shoulder next to him and said: Rong Zai, he dressed very handsome today, and he compared all the European handsome guys.
Leslie Cheung pointed at Tony Leung and smiled shyly: Ah Hui is the most popular male star today.
After the two of them said hello, Carina Lau couldn't wait to extend her hand to greet him: Hello, Mr. Kang, I am Carina Lau.
Kang Jianfei shook hands with her and said with a smile: Miss Liu is interested in coming to Oriental Entertainment Ah?The company urgently needs a strong actress like you to join.
Mr. Kang was joking. I dare not compete with Honggu and the others.
Carina Lau didn't have to worry about taking films before, and she was reluctant to share the money from the brokerage company, so she never looked for a brokerage company or a broker.
Oriental Entertainment Agency's commission for second- and third-tier actors is too high, which is Carina Lau's biggest concern.
Before Carina Lau could express her opinion on joining the company, Kang Jianfei was already shaking hands with Andy Lau: Andy Lau, I heard that you have opened a film company, so I can be happy to congratulate Ah.
Andy Lau said in surprise: My company has only been open for half a month, and Mr. Kang is really well-informed.
Kang Jianfei smiled and said: You are a star, and celebrities will certainly receive attention when opening a company.
In front of Mr. Kang, I dare not call myself a star.Andy Lau said modestly.
There are only a few Hong Kong filmmakers participating in Cannes this time. Maggie Cheung and Cherie Chung are having a happy chat. Tony Leslie Cheung seems to have a good relationship, and only Lan Jieying stands alone.
Kang Jianfei chatted with everyone for a while, and the red carpet show finally began.
Leslie Cheung, Carina Lau, Maggie Cheung, Andy Lau and others did not receive much attention when they walked the red carpet, and even the reporters only took a symbolic photo and changed their target.
And when Tony Leung and Cherie Chung walked side by side on the red carpet, the atmosphere suddenly became warm.
Tony, Tony!
Beam, beam, beam!
……
Some movie fans shouted Tony Leung’s English name, while some movie fans shouted his last name, which was quite like an international star.
As for the beautiful woman Chung Chung around Tony Leung, she has become an inconspicuous foil, which makes Hong Gu, who is highly anticipated in Hong Kong, feel strange.
I dare not say anything else, but in France, Tony Leung is definitely the most popular Chinese star besides Bruce Lee.
Kang Jianfei's name as director is also widely circulated in France, and has accumulated some movie fans.
But for most viewers, they are more familiar with the stars who appear on the screen all year round.
So when Kang Jianfei held Lan Jieying's hand and walked the red carpet, although the photographer pressed the shutter and worked hard, only some hardcore fans were cheering, and the shouts from the fan area were far inferior to Tony Leung.
As soon as he stepped on the red carpet, Kang Jianfei felt Lan Jieying's body trembling slightly. He whispered: Don't think too much, keep smiling, I'm there in everything.
This is the first time that Lan Jieying has participated in such an international film event. Although she usually acts on her own, she is introverted and sensitive. She is so nervous that she almost can't walk on such occasions.
Kang Jianfei waved his hand to the movie fans and whispered: Stop ahead and let the reporter take a photo.
Lan Jieying felt Kang Jianfei's hand exerting force, and she immediately stopped knowingly, facing the camera with a stiff smile.
After repeating it several times in a row, Lan Jieying's vest was sweating after walking the red carpet, and she held Kang Jianfei tightly. This man was her only support at the moment.
It's okay, I'll get used to it after experiencing it a few more times.Kang Jianfei smiled and comforted him.
But Lan Jieying felt embarrassed. She had walked the red carpet more than once in Hong Kong and was so nervous when she came to Cannes.
The crew of "Trumen's World" is gathered together, perhaps because of the special arrangement of the Cannes Film Festival Organizing Committee, and the crew of "The Legend of Ah Fei" from Hong Kong is next to it.
After sitting together and waiting for a while, the award ceremony finally began.
The awards were presented, but unfortunately, from beginning to end, I had never heard of a single award-winning movie Kang Jianfei, and I didn’t know the award-winning moviemaker Kang Jianfei.
The only thing that made Kang Jianfei interesting was that the judges at the Cannes Film Festival became naughty again this year.
The Cannes Film Festival, which has always only won the Best Supporting Actor Award, has added a Best Supporting Actor Award for the first time this year, which is simply unpredictable.
Tony Leung has the hope of becoming the Cannes Best Actor this year. He has good acting skills in "The World of Truman" and has a high reputation among film critics.
Unfortunately, the trophy for the best actor was taken away by American actor John Ttoro, who starred in the Coen brothers' "Barton Fink".
The Coen brothers are also super powerful in another time and space. Their debut work "Blood Maze" has been regarded by many as "Hitchcock's Resurrection", and this "Barton Fink" is their true international film.
From then on, the two brothers' films have been won from major European film festivals to Hollywood Oscars, and they can be seen on podiums around the world.
When Tony Leung heard the award presenter's name, he suddenly shrank on the chair as if he was exhausted.
He has always hoped to win awards internationally, and this time "Trump's World" has a high reputation among film critics, so Tony Tony has always been looking forward to the throne of Cannes' best actor.
The higher the expectations, the greater the disappointment, and Tony Leung doesn’t want to stay here anymore.
In the end, there are two grand prizes left, the jury grand prize and the Palme d'Or, which can be regarded as the silver prize and the gold prize in the best film respectively.
Since there was no nomination in advance, no one knew which film had the chance to win the award. The guess was purely redundant, and they were all waiting for the award presenter to announce the answer.
Kang Jianfei sat calmly on the chair. "Trumen's World" did not participate in the Cannes Film Festival in the original time and space, so he could not guess the result.
But his intuition told him that the next trophy is likely to be awarded to Truman's World.
The winners of the jury’s special awards were: Kang Jianfei and "The World of Truman", from Hong Kong!
The applause was thunderous, but Kang Jianfei was surprised by his intuition, it was so fucking accurate!
Kang Jianfei, Tony Leung, Cherie Chung, and Lan Jieying hugged and celebrated. He was about to come on stage to receive the award. Wong Kar-wai, Leslie Cheung, Andy Lau and others also came to join in the fun, and shook hands one by one before letting him go.
Thanks!
Kang Jianfei took the trophy from the award presenter and delivered a speech in fluent English. I am very happy that I have never won the lottery, but this time I won the second prize in Cannes...
Amid the laughter at the scene, Kang Jianfei continued: Thank you Mr. Giles Jacob, thank you all the jury, and thank you to all the colleagues in the crew of "Trumen's World".Finally, I like Cannes, the beach here is beautiful, and the bikini beauties on the beach are even more beautiful.
Kang Jianfei carried the trophy down, and as soon as he got back to the seat, the trophy was snatched away by Chung Chuhong. She and Lan Jieying gathered together to study the trophy with a unique shape, and they didn't even care about the award ceremony behind them.
The first prize of the Palme d'Or was taken away by Coen's "Barton Fink", a humorous film that satirizes the big Hollywood producers.
To be honest, "Barton Fink" is not better than "Trumen's World", but it is filmed more mysterious and obscure, which is difficult for ordinary people to fully understand, and judges who happen to be familiar with the film industry can understand it.
This makes the jury more powerful, at least higher than the "Trumen's World" which is understandable by the general public. Coen's brothers' strong personal style, it is easy to understand that the jury awarded the Palme d'Or for Cannes' highest honor to "Barton Fink".
An international film festival must be all-encompassing. If only some European and American films participate in the Cannes Film Festival every year, it can only be considered a European and American film festival at most.
