Heads Up Hollywood

This year's Cannes is bound to be full of politics.

This is not only the consensus of the industry.

Known at home and abroad!

Although "2046" directed by Wang Jiawei was the highest-rated film during the entire film festival. But the critics' ratings and the voices of the French media are not the same.

"Fahrenheit 911" is the big hit!

As we all know, the French government has always stood on the opposite side of the United States, especially when dealing with the Iraqi issue. During the film festival, the news about the abuse of Iraqi prisoners of war by the US military was raging, which virtually added weight to the award for "Fahrenheit 9/11".

On May 23, the Cannes Film Festival, which lasted for nearly two weeks, came to the final awards ceremony.

Tang En watched the live broadcast with Natalie at home.

For the closing ceremony this time, Asian film forces... accounted for half of the country!

In addition to "2046" by the Hong Kong government, it also includes "Nobody Knows" in Japan, "Old Boy" in South Korea, "House of Flying Daggers" and "Journey" in mainland China, and "Tropical Disease" in Thailand. As well as Gong Huang who was invited to attend, Maggie Zhang, the heroine of the French film "Clean", Huck Xu, the judge, and so on.

By comparison, Hollywood stars are... kind of rare.

Except for the outdated old lady Sharon Stone, Quentin Tarantino's good friend Uma Thurman, the confident Sean Penn, and the watery-headed Orlando Bloom, almost no one can see To what star.

Even Charlize Theron, who has a high voice and may become the queen of Cannes, did not make an appearance.

This is another chain effect caused by Tang En's appearance.

In the previous life, the New York Times' apology article was published after the Cannes Film Festival, and the delicate situation was only revealed after the results of the awards ceremony.

Because of Tang En's appearance, the situation is obviously more urgent!

The "New York Times" also apologized early and made public the internal high-level changes.

Even the nerve-sensitive brokerage companies realized something and blocked their artists from appearing in Cannes one after another.

So as not to offend Tang En and many Hollywood bigwigs.

Angelina Jolie, Jennifer Aniston, Brad Pitt and others who appeared at the closing ceremony of Cannes in the previous life did not appear.

"This Bloom is still in the mood to walk the red carpet! What is "Troy" like?" Looking at the pretty boys on the TV, a sneer appeared on the corner of Natalie's mouth.

"Orlando Bloom?" Tang En snorted, "The "Lord of the Rings" trilogy forced him into the front line. This kind of idiot with low IQ is too arrogant. "Troy" is just the beginning Let's see, when next year's "Kingdom of Heaven" is also thrown out, he will be beaten back to his original form."

Natalie's eyes widened in surprise, "Will "Kingdom of Heaven" also fail? That's the work of director Scott."

Tang En shook his head and said: "The success of "The Lord of the Rings" has brought about a trend of historical masterpieces. But this is just a niche subject, and Ridley Scott can't do it either!"

"Huh? Why do you hate him so much?"

"When Jerry Bruckheimer was going to shoot "Black Hawk Down", everyone in the industry knew that our relationship was not right. Tom Hardy voluntarily resigned, Ridley Scott also came to shoot "Spider-Man 2", only This Orlando Bloom seems to want to act in a war movie, heh!"

"No wonder you cast Tom Hardy, the newcomer, in the "Pirates League" series..."

Natalie nodded as if realizing something, and then she pursed her lips into a smile, "Tang En, aren't you too narrow-minded? It's been so many years since such a small matter, and you still haven't forgotten it, and it's still on your mind?"

"This is called right from wrong!"

"It's stingy!"

"Okay, if you dare to say that I'm stingy, look how good I am!"

"Oh, you hate it! I don't... go to the bedroom, okay..."

"No, just on the sofa!"

...

The award ceremony process is very long, just like the Oscars.

Tang En hugged Natalie, had a passionate fight on the sofa, hugged her tenderly for a while, and then hugged her to take a shower.

After changing into pajamas and coming out, the awards ceremony finally reached its climax.

To the last four awards - Best Actress, Best Actor, Jury Prize, Palme d'Or.

"Ah! The Best Actress is about to be awarded! If Charlie really wins the award, how embarrassing it will be?"

Natalie had a coquettish blush on her face, holding a red towel in her hand, wiping her wet hair, standing in front of the TV, looking back and smiling.

"Don't worry, it's impossible!" Tang En carelessly went to the sofa.

Natalie came over, sat down beside him, and said with a half-smile, "So sure?"

Tang En said angrily: "Ask the question knowingly! I'm so shameless that I don't believe they can present an award to Charlie! Besides, Charlie's performance... may not be better than Maggie Zhang."

"Maggie Zhang? Who is it? Your new prey?"

"Nothing! Don't talk nonsense!"

What Tang En said was very confident, after all, it was the truth.

Sure enough, the awards were announced, and Maggie Zhang won the Cannes Best Actress Award for her superb performance in the movie "Clean"!

Next up is Best Actor.

"Hey! Do you think... that one will win the prize?" Natalie suddenly thought of something, and a hint of cunning flashed in her eyes.

Tang En was slightly taken aback, "Who is that?"

Natalie pointed to the northeast, "The one in the White House."

"puff!"

Tang En laughed straight away.

How dare you think about it!

President Bush Jr. takes the actor?

This kind of gossip and tabloid speculation is as ridiculous as it is.

Although "Fahrenheit 9/11" is a big hit at the Palme d'Or, President Bush Jr.'s performance here...is just a trimmed and edited interview, okay?

The Cannes Film Festival, which is already full of political meaning, is enough to hold "Fahrenheit 9/11" as the Palme d'Or.

If he really dared to award the Best Actor to the President of the United States for the first time... that would be a complete slap in the face.

It's a slap in the face of the entire United States!

At that time, it is estimated that the world will be in chaos.

Even the whole of France can't bear it!

Harvey Weinstein and Quentin Tarantino, I'm afraid they really lost their lives. This has gone far beyond the scope of partisanship, and the Democratic Party can't keep them.

"Don't you think that would be fun?" Natalie was refreshed and in a good mood just now.

Tang En said lightly: "It's not interesting."

"Hmph! You're like a log, what a disappointment!" Natalie pouted and kicked him.

Tang En grabbed her and scratched the soles of her feet.

Laughing itchy, she kept kicking her legs.

Just when the two were laughing, the choice of actor was also announced.

The answer is unexpected!

Prior to this, Tony Leung, the star of "2046", was the most vocal, followed by Choi Min-sik, the star of "Old Boy".

Unexpectedly, the two were defeated one after another!

The candidate for Best Actor turned out to be a 14-year-old Japanese kid—Yagile Yuya!

Comparing directly to Xia Yu, who won the award at the age of 17, he became the youngest actor in the history of Cannes!

Immediately afterwards, the second grand prize of this year's Cannes, the Jury Grand Prix, was announced, and the Korean film "Old Boy" finally won the first prize.

This can be regarded as a major sign of the rise of Korean movies.

And then, the final Palme d'Or!

Quentin Tarantino, chairman of the jury, took the stage in person to announce the winners.

At this time, Tang En and Natalie stopped fighting, and both eyes were fixed on the TV screen.

Although they all have a hunch, the possibility of "Fahrenheit 9/11" winning is very high.

However, if "Fahrenheit 9/11" did not win the award, it would be more beneficial to Tang En in terms of controlling the situation.

A Cannes Palme d'Or film cannot be released in the United States, which will bear a lot of social pressure.

"Winner of the Palme d'Or is..."

On the TV, Quentin Tarantino looked very proud in a suit and leather shoes. He paused for a moment, then showed the list in his hand to the audience and the direction of the camera, and smiled slightly: "Fahrenheit 911!"

"Buzz!"

In the Lumiere Hall, there was a commotion first, and then it was covered by warm applause.

Obviously, many professional film critics and media people at the scene were extremely shocked by this result.

A documentary gets the Palme d'Or?

Oh, God!

Is "Fahrenheit 9/11" really well shot?

In terms of film quality, I'm afraid it won't even win the Best Documentary Award.

Anyway, next year's Oscar, in the Best Documentary Awards, "Fahrenheit 9/11" will not even be nominated.

Even more shocking is...

The applause in the Lumiere Hall lasted for a long time!

1 minute!

3 minutes!

5 minutes!

10 minutes!

15 minutes!

Tang En and Natalie in front of the TV were also shocked by the atmosphere of the scene.

The applause lasted for a full 15 minutes!

What kind of treatment is this?

Even if films of the level of "Gone with the Wind", "Citizen Kane", "The Godfather" and "Schindler's List" are in the world, it may be difficult to get such a grand treatment, right?

If there is no secret arrangement, no one will believe it!

It's not that Stalin spoke, and the clapping time was too short to be dragged out and shot.

This is France where there are strikes every day!

When did such a terrifying scene appear?

After the award results were announced, Michael Moore, the director of "Fahrenheit 9/11", stepped onto the podium with a big belly and a red face, and gave Quentin Tarantino a big American hug.

Quentin Tarantino also whispered something to him, and Michael Moore nodded frequently, looking very excited.

Before Michael Moore spoke, Quentin Tarantino first walked to the microphone and said solemnly: "The judges agreed that "Fahrenheit 9/11" was the best of the entries, and the political color of the film did not affect the jury. judgment."

This sentence... somewhat implies that there is no silver three hundred taels here.

Last year, Michael Moore received the Oscar for Best Documentary Film, and then he made a lot of nonsense, which caused great passiveness to the Oscar Organizing Committee.

Obviously, he will not miss the big platform of Cannes...
