Heads Up Hollywood

The awards ceremony was held in the Lumiere Hall, because the Cannes Film Festival in the past always caused a lot of controversy. In order to avoid booing at the awards ceremony, the ceremony hall has been closed to media reporters for many years.

Therefore, during the entire awarding process, media reporters from all over the world watched the live broadcast of the awarding ceremony in the news center or in the Debussy Hall.

Judging from the evaluations received by all competing films, the love movie "In the Mood for Love" directed by Wang Jiawei received a lot of praise after its premiere. The "highest score in history" of 3.7 points (out of 4 points) on "Silver Screen" is enough to reflect the critics. For the love of this video.

Secondly, the mainland movie "The Devil Is Coming" scored 3.4 points; the romance film "Dancer in the Dark" also received a lot of praise after its release and was a candidate for the Palme d'Or. The French-language "Screen" scored 3.6 points , but the English department "Silver Screen" only gave 2.9 points.

In addition, Baodao's film "Yi Yi" has been widely praised, and the Swedish film "Singing from the Second Floor" is likely to be a dark horse...

Of course, there is also "The Girl Who Moves the Soul", which is the film with the highest average score given by the French and English "Screen" magazines. It can be seen that in different languages ​​and cultures, "The Girl Who Moved the Soul" has its own unique features. charm.

On Tang En's left was Alan Ball, who leaned slightly and asked with a smile, "Are you ready for your acceptance speech?"

"I?"

Alan Ball was slightly taken aback.

It is true that he is the producer of the film, but his position is executive producer, and the chief producer is Twain. That is to say, according to Hollywood's rules, even if the producer accepts the award, Tang En must be on stage.

And this is Europe, the rules are completely different from Hollywood.

Hollywood is the core system of producers, while Europe is the core system of directors. Even if "The Girl Who Moved Soul" won the award, it must be Sam Mendes who took the stage to accept the award.

Tang En knew the loss in Alan Ball's heart. Two months ago at the Oscars, as the producer of "American Beauty", he did not get a chance to speak, and he was somewhat disheartened.

This is still the case in Hollywood where the producer is the king, but in the European film festival where the director is the mainstay, the producer is a wage earner, and of course he has no right to speak.

Tang En said in a low voice: "Get ready, and receive the award later, you and Sam will go together!"

"This... doesn't conform to the rules, does it?" Alan Ball was slightly surprised, not because he was surprised that Tang En was sure that "The Girl Who Moved Soul" would win the award, but because he was surprised by Tang En's attitude.

Absolutely!

The two had communicated at the beginning, and Twain hoped that Alan Ball would cooperate with the TV production department of Twain Films for the next series, instead of choosing HBO or other well-known cable TV stations.

Now Tang En's behavior, the meaning of wooing is very obvious.

Allen Ball suddenly felt flattered. Even in the face of Disney and Fox, Twain could hold his chest high and straighten his spine.

But now... Tang En didn't show it deliberately, but the kindness in his words was very obvious.

People's hearts are long, and Tang En's attitude of respecting the corporal as always moved Alan Ball a little.

Tang En patted his arm, and said meaningfully: "Whether it's Hollywood or Europe, where are the rules that won't change for a hundred years? Those who are incompetent stick to the rules, and those who are capable...create their own rules!"

...

Here, Tang En was still whispering to Alan Ball. On the stage, an Asian face had appeared on the stage, and Tang En was familiar with it——Tony Liang!

In "Happy Together" three years ago, Tony Leung missed the best actor in Cannes by one vote. This time, he continued to cooperate with director Wang Jiawei, and with his superb acting skills in "In the Mood for Love", he finally became the Best Actor in Cannes!

Obviously, Tony Liang is very popular in Europe. His acceptance of the award caused all the guests to stand up and congratulate. This posture is no different from the judging panel who received the award from "The Devil Is Coming" and "Singing from the Second Floor" just now. The momentum of the grand prize is poor.

After the best actor award, it is the best actress award!

Tang En and Alan Ball sat up straight.

Turning her head inadvertently, she saw that Natalie beside her was not breathing evenly. When she looked down again, she found that her little fists had been tightly clenched.

Don't look at her resentment when she said it, but when it was time to accept the award, she was still nervous and apprehensive.

Natalie is not yet 19 years old. At such a young age, it is definitely an impressive honor to win the crown of Cannes Best Actress.

Regardless of how unbearable the means behind this award are, under the sun, in the eyes of movie fans and the public, it is a real award, an award second only to the Oscar queen!

This is the crowning glory of an actor!

Tang En stretched out his hand, gently held her little hand, nodded and smiled, reassuring her.

Natalie took a deep breath and showed him a bright and beautiful smile.

At this time, Etana Sanchez Guillon, a member of the jury, and the famous French actress Isabelle Adjani took the stage together to present the best actress award.

Isabelle Adjani, who is over forty but still stunningly beautiful, said in French: "So, I announce that the winner of the Best Actress at the 53rd Cannes International Film Festival is..."

Etana Sanchez-Guyon took the envelope from her and translated it in English: "Nicole Kidman, The Girl Who Moved!"

"boom!"

The entire Lumiere hall suddenly boiled.

The transcendent influence of Nicole Kidman on a global scale is especially evident at this moment.

What is an international movie star?

Nicole Kidman is the portrayal!

In front of Nicole Kidman, Tony Liang's poor popularity is really incomparable.

However, the crew atmosphere of "The Girl Who Moved Soul" was a bit stiff.

In the entire crew, who didn't know that this movie was tailor-made by Tang En for his girlfriend Natalie? But now... is this considered as a wedding dress for others?

Tang En was also particularly astonished, his eyes widened slightly involuntarily.

What is this Luc Besson doing?

He is a little angry!

It is of course a good thing that Nicole Kidman won the award. She is Tang En's longest-lasting female companion. Don't look at her always complaining and complaining on the surface, but when she is in bed, she is always obedient and can bring Tang En the greatest pleasure.

The young and immature Natalie couldn't bring that kind of mature and charming charm.

But Natalie is the girl Tang En cares most about!

Nicole Kidman is just a friend, just a girlfriend, but Natalie Portman is a girlfriend!

Tang En was holding Natalie's little hand, and he could clearly feel that when the award presenter pronounced the name of "Nicole Kidman", her palm visibly trembled, and after a while, sweat dripped out.

There was still a smile on Natalie's face, but looking at this smile, Tang En always felt a little distressed, so he wanted to persuade her.

After all, you have to rely on others to operate in the dark, and you are not 100% sure.

Luc Besson, too unreliable!

At this time, it was discovered that Etana Sanchez Guillon seemed to be talking to the microphone on the awarding platform.

It's just that the sensation caused by Nicole Kidman was too great, and the hall was so loud that I couldn't hear it clearly.

After four or five seconds, everyone seemed to have discovered the situation, and then they calmed down a little.

On the awards stage, Etana Jillon glanced at another award presenter, Isabelle Adjani, a look of helplessness flashed across her face, and leaned closer to the microphone, "There is one more candidate for Best Actress!"

The audience suddenly fell silent, as if they could hear each other's breathing.

Tang En's eyes suddenly widened, and he felt the little hands tightly held by him become tense again.

At this moment, Tang En and Natalie's hearts were absolutely connected.

Isabel Adjani showed a charming smile, and said in substandard English: "Natalie Portman, "The Girl Who Moved Soul"!"

It's "The Girl Who Moved the Soul" again, double yolk eggs!

In the hall, there was two seconds of silence, and then the audience stood up, bursting into warm applause!

The entire crew of "The Girl Who Moved the Soul" immediately became active, and everyone stood up with a smile on their faces, celebrating the two award-winning heroines.

Tang En stood up with a smile like everyone else in the crew, then opened his arms and hugged Natalie in his arms, "Sweetheart, congratulations!"

"Thanks."

Natalie and Tang En embraced lightly, and behind the thank you, there was obviously another deep meaning.

Afterwards, Tang En and Nicole Kidman also congratulated and embraced. Nicole pursed her lips and said in a very small voice, "I was stunned just now!"

Tang En felt a little guilty, "Your performance deserves everything."

"How long have we been dating? Twain, I understand you." Nicole Kidman pointed at Twain's chest with a playful expression, "You can't fool me. But this is fine now, everyone is happy, isn't it?"

"Of course, everyone is happy!"

...

European film festivals, because the system is not rigorous, the chairman of the jury is in charge, and there are often some shocking awards.

For example, in "Farewell My Concubine" back then, some judges voted Brother Zhang as the best actress, which led to a split of the votes, which made him regret losing the Best Actress;

For example, there are six movie queens, five movie stars, and even the best picture award at the same time, and there are also double yolk eggs...

This kind of thing is absolutely impossible in Oscar!

Not to mention five or six people winning prizes at the same time, even if it is a double-yolk egg, it is impossible, and the final selection will be carried out through the sorting mechanism of elimination at the end.

Now that two actresses appear at the same time, everyone here is no longer surprised.

In one month, Natalie Portman, who was only 19 years old, became the second youngest actress candidate in the history of Cannes!

At the last Cannes Film Festival, Emily DeQuinn became the No. 1 in Cannes film history with "Rosetta", and she was not yet 18 years old. Prior to this, the famous French movie star Isabelle Huppert won the Best Actress Award in the 36th session in 1983 with "Piera's Story", and she was only 22 years old at the time.

This time, Natalie stepped onto the stage of a world-class actress with "The Girl Who Moved the Soul" and left her name in Cannes!
