  Chapter 179 Boyfriend's movie, special Palme d'Or!

   1990, May 21.

   This day is destined to be recorded in the annals of human cinema.

  From the analysis of the previous news, Bertolucci, the chairman of the jury, will determine "My Heart Wild" as the winner of this year's Palme d'Or!

   Such news, naturally, one stone stirred up a thousand waves.

  Cannes Film Festival, an international film festival, naturally attracts many well-known film critics and media people around the world.

   Everyone expressed puzzlement about Berutuoqi's insistent attitude.

   However, it seems like this is really going to happen.

   Because the person who broke this information is a member of the jury.

   Soviet filmmaker and well-known writer, Alexei German.

   He was very dissatisfied with Bertolucci.

   In other words, at the moment, many changes have taken place in the Soviet Union.

  The big ones haven't come yet, but some small ones have already started.

   A simple description is that at present, the media in the Soviet Union is almost 24 hours a day, criticizing the heroes of the past with high intensity.

   Those who made great contributions in World War II, or the conscientious workers, etc., were all slandered as bastards.

   Negation of glorious history belongs to yes.

   And this unbreakable alliance, as a whole, is embracing the West, hoping to directly turn a corner and wear a pair of pants with Europe and the United States.

   Therefore, people like Alexei appear in many cultural activities in Europe and America.

   However, they found that there seemed to be some problems.

   Just like this Alexei, he is a judge, but it seems that he is not.

   has no real power and is always excluded.

   Of course, for someone like Bertolucci, even if there is no question of the background of the current era, he will never listen to a little bit of advice from Alexei.

   As a result, not only Alexei, but several others also criticized the chairman of the jury.

  In this way, film critics and media people, of course, can't pretend that nothing happened.

   Newspapers and magazines, spray Bertolucci directly.

  Many people publicly criticized the jury president.

   In short, if this "Wild Heart" won the Palme d'Or, it would be a shame for the Cannes Film Festival.

  There are also celebrities who came out to help out.

   Many celebrities in the film industry said that if you Bertolucci insisted that this film get the Palme d'Or, so arbitrary, then we would not be the presenters.

   Actually, things have changed at this point.

   That is, it was originally because of the movie, but now it seems to have something to do with minzhu.

   You Bertolucci are a dictator throughout!

   is a tyrant!

  Perhaps, this also has something to do with the arrival of Soviet directors like Alexei in Cannes.

   That's right, we can't let people see that there are situations in Europe and the United States that are not minzhu.

right?

   Such and such, then of course there is no shortage of discussions on other films.

The name   Iwata Takeshi, before the 21st, suddenly became popular!

   "This Killer Is Not Too Cold", written, directed and acted!

   The movie is really good, excellent.

   After watching it, many people feel that this is a film completely worthy of the Palme d’Or.

   Compared with "My Heart is Wild", at least this is a normal aesthetic film, isn't it?

   Moreover, "This Killer Is Not Too Cold" was also used as a weapon by many people to attack Bertolucci.

   So, how did Bertolucci react to the film?

   An excellent piece of work.

   This is also news from the members of the jury.

   Everyone sprayed it even more fiercely.

  You, the chairman of the jury, said yes, so what else do you think?

   This movie should get the Palme d'Or!

   Of course, these sounds are really useless in the end.

   The jury of the Cannes Film Festival has always had a tradition of not being pressured by outside public opinion, or even acting against it at all.

   Do you all think the award should be given to this film?

   Then give you a 'surprise'!

   All of the above happened before the 21st.

  Today is the closing ceremony, who will the Palme d'Or win?

  …

   Thierry was a little flustered, he never imagined that the Cannes Film Festival would develop to this point.

   That Bertolucci is too famous, it is no problem to ask him to be the chairman of the jury.

  You must know that this big director is the only guy in Italy who has won the Academy Award for best director so far.

  Italy has a lot of people in Hollywood.

   The Corleone family we all know... ahem, they're on stage.

   I won't cut off that horse's head this time. Seriously, there are really many Italians active in Hollywood.

   For example, American westerns and cowboy films should actually be 'Spanish Westerns'.

  The soundtrack master Morricone, this is Italian.

  The director, Sergio Leone, heard the name and knew it, he must be Italian.

   And Coppola, the director of The Godfather, who is also Italian.

   Cage in "My Heart is Wild", his name was changed later, and he is a relative of Coppola.

   and Stallone.

   However, these people are of Italian descent.

  It can also be seen that the Italian power in Hollywood is very powerful.

   So, what is the current situation?

  The great Italian director wants to award the award to fellow Italians in the United States?

   Thierry, the old white flag, is getting angry.

   It doesn't matter if the former Germans are the chairman of the jury, and you Italians deserve it too?

  Especially those who went to America.

   At that time, it was impossible to get along in Europe, and went to the United States to pan for gold.

   A bunch of stinky beggars, come to our France to be arrogant.

  I will show you what it means to be a hegemon in the European continent!

  Thieri has started his activities before, let alone, there are quite a few people who are with him against Bertolucci this time.

  Old Zheng Baiqi did not expect that he would respond with a hundred calls.

   However, after all, who the grand prize goes to, has to listen to the jury.

   And the power of the chairman of the jury is too great, this time it is Bertolucci, such a big director who can't make money.

   What kind of results can be achieved.

   Thierry also had no idea in his heart.

   At this moment, the red carpet over there has already begun.

   The main creator of "This Killer Is Not Too Cold", come on stage!

The leader of    is of course Takeshi Iwata, who is tall and fierce.

   Today, he is still wearing the suit from before. Originally, he didn't have much pursuit of clothes.

  Although, he was once responsible for the appearance of our Iwata Movies.

   Don't care about these details, what about other people?

   Little Shinobi!

   She is the only one standing beside Takeshi Iwata!

   Today's Shinobi is a little different, she wears a slightly mature dress.

   is different from before, she used to be cute all the time.

how so?

   Anyway, Takeshi Iwata doesn't know, he really doesn't know.

   But, I want to come to the original version of "This Killer Is Not Too Cold", Natalie Portman also dressed herself like a mature girl after the movie was released.

   The hair is permed and wavy, wearing a hip-packed skirt, and applying heavy lipstick.

  You know, Natalie was not even 14 years old at the time, and she dressed like this.

   Fortunately, Xiao Ren at least did not apply lipstick.

  Wait a minute, is it only Shinobu?

   That's right!

   She is the only one.

   Therefore, at present, the main creative team of "This Killer Is Not Too Cold" is just two people!

   Takeshi Iwata and Shinobu Nakayama.

   Such a scene, oh! Interesting!

   Remember the movie?

  Leon and Dazi, one tall and one short, were walking on the street.

   Seeing it now, it's still so interesting.

   However, in order to highlight the height difference in the movie, Takeshi Iwata did use a secret weapon...to increase the insole.

   is really just for lens effects.

   He's useless now, so it's almost meaningless.

  It’s okay, many journalists from Japan don’t care about that.

  Shoot it!

   Takeshi Iwata and Shinobu Nakayama, especially Shinobi, she has been shortlisted for three top European film festivals with three films, which has already fermented in Japan.

   On the one hand, everyone thinks that this girl is lucky, on the other hand, it is also a guess.

  Why is she always Nakayama Shinobu?

   Anyway, some guys have bad ideas, which is kind of weird.

   As for the reporters, of course we have to satisfy everyone’s curiosity.

   There is nothing to do about the red carpet for the two of them this time. Osugi Ren and the others are making a lot of announcements now, and TV dramas are coming to them.

  We Iwata Eiji also produce dramas ourselves, so we are really busy.

   After all, flying to Europe and participating in top film festivals is actually quite a luxury for people in the Japanese entertainment industry.

   That's the case, but don't care about it, the two of them are just two of them.

  Xiao Ren is still a little shy, although it is not the first time she has walked the red carpet in Cannes.

  Before, after all, there was a sister to help, this time it was only her and the uncle.

  Miho didn't rub the red carpet this time, because of course Zhou Fang and them.

  Fortunately, this time there is Sister Mingcai.

   This dress was bought by Sister Mingcai for Xiao Ren in Cannes.

  Xiao Ren was embarrassed to ask for it, but Ming Cai said bluntly that she was her own sister.

   And this good thing...

  No, no, Miho-san is also very good.

  Xiao Ren struggled for a while, then put away the clothes.

  Look, isn't it very pretty now?

   That's it, the two finished the red carpet and walked into the Lumiere Hall.

After    and other filmmakers shortlisted in the main competition unit have walked the red carpet, they are the guests.

   Japanese journalists are going to Lumiere Hall, but don't want to

   "Ah! Ming Cai!"

   "Ming Cai appeared!"

   "Akira! Look over here!"

   Nakamori Akina appeared on the red carpet generously.

   This scene naturally murdered many reporters on film, but everyone is even more curious.

   "Minna, why did you appear in Cannes?"

   The reporters' questions were not nutritious, but Ming Cai smiled and tugged her hair.

   "Of course to watch my boyfriend's movie."

   Oh, my boyfriend's movie was shortlisted in Cannes, so of course you should watch it.

Um?

   What just happened?

   Did Akina Nakamori make an official announcement?

  All the Japanese reporters are stupid, even Akina walked into the venue, they didn't even know!

  Big news!

   Big melon!

  But...is this news, this melon, ripe?

  Many people still don't believe it!

   At this time, the awards ceremony of the Cannes Film Festival has begun.

  …

   "Sister Mingcai is here."

"Oh, I know."

   "Do you know what she's here for?"

   "This...you little girl, don't ask anything."

   "Oops! What did you say! Uncle!"

  Xiao Ren and Iwata Takeshi were sitting together, but she really didn't expect that this guy, Uncle, would actually...

   What did you do with Sister Mingcai, I don't know?

   Xiao Ren was so angry, but she knew that Sister Mingcai was going to make an official announcement this time.

   However, she is also more worried about whether this movie can win an award.

   "Uncle, the words of Palme d'Or..."

   "Don't think too much, silly girl."

   Takeshi Iwata patted Shinobu's little hand, and he was actually comforting himself.

Can    win an award?

  Who knows.

   This time there is really no bottom.

   But, maybe there will be a small prize or something.

   To Iwata Takeshi's surprise, all kinds of small awards were handed out during the lengthy award ceremony.

   However, "This Killer Is Not Too Cold" has never been mentioned by name!

What's wrong?

   Does the fever have to die on your own body?

   Until the Jury Prize is awarded, then the Palme d'Or!

  An interesting scene happened.

   Chairman of the jury, Bertolucci walked to the podium alone.

   "The Palme d'Or..."

   His words are very simple and can be said to go straight to the point.

   "..."My Heart is Wild"!"

   As soon as these words came out, there were boos!

  Iwata Takeshi was sweating on his forehead, is he going to return empty-handed this time?

  Xiao Ren was also excited, she grabbed the uncle's hand with both hands.

   Do you have to be busy this time?

   However, Bertolucci did not step down, instead he continued:

   "This killer is not too cold"!"

  The Lumiere Hall applauded after a brief period of astonishment!

  …

  PS: There are only three chapters today. I wrote a few more chapters in this chapter. Thank you very much! Tomorrow, the black car will strive for four shifts! Ask for tickets, ask for support!
