The Cannes International Film Festival is worthy of the word international.

In addition to a French TV station broadcasting the award ceremony in real time, many other media people will also record and broadcast the award ceremony.

All of a sudden, German, French, English and Danish were all spoken one after another with great momentum, and it felt like I was getting more face.

Lehmann is not sure who the award-winning films were in the previous life. But "Bad Guys" is a different kind of disruptor.

With its good viewing performance and reputation during the screening, it was nominated for five awards and became the most eye-catching film at the 56th Cannes Film Festival.

After Lyman and his party entered the venue, they were arranged in very privileged seats. They looked at each other tacitly and found a good seat to sit down again.

It seems that the organizers really value them.

The lobby space is not too big, and certainly not small. Although the seats can be seen at a glance, they meet the needs and there is still room.

The people on the chairs are all happy, looking forward to whether they can become winners.

The atmosphere was pretty good, not as serious as Oscar's, which also made Lyman quite relaxed.

There are two units in the film festival, a formal competition unit and a non-competition unit. The latter is usually not recognized as valuable. In recent years, it has gradually become a place for Hollywood film producers to advertise, such as

The shortlisted film "The Matrix 2" was released in the United States and even participated in the exhibition.

The highest award is naturally the Palme d'Or, which goes without saying.

In fact, the awards process at the Cannes Film Festival is very simple, taking less than an hour in total.

It begins with the jury taking the stage to express their thanks.

"It is my honor to participate in this Cannes Film Festival as the chairman of the jury. Here, we can see the works of the best filmmakers from many countries... Finally, thank you for your support.

"After Patrice Xiahou finished speaking, he smiled in a friendly manner.

These paragraphs had too much official meaning, but there was still applause from the audience.

Next is the organizer’s thanks again.

An old man stood on top. He has been running the Cannes Film Festival for more than 30 years, and he is truly experienced.

As people get older, they see things more openly and speak more to the point.

"Cannes is a small place, but we hope to help those who love movies and allow them to have good exchanges and progress. This is how this film festival was founded, although the direction is somewhat biased.

, but one cannot deny its contribution to the art of film. In the end, I want to say..."

The old man paused and then continued: "What we are pursuing should not deteriorate and adhere to the original spirit of its founding."

"Pa bang bang..."

The people under the stage went crazy, clapping their hands as hard as they could, one wave after another.

Lehmann shrank his shoulders and was a little speechless. Art shouldn't follow the market trend. If the audience doesn't like it, no matter how artistic you are, what can you do?

Furthermore, don’t you all have some idea of ​​what the Cannes Film Festival will become later?

Lyman had never thought of the inciting power that a few words could have. Maybe these people had been feeling aggrieved for too long and needed to vent, and someone happened to speak out their feelings. This is how words are used, right?

.

Those who make independent films and niche films are similar to those underground rock and roll youths. Once they get excited, they can get very high and hysterical.

It's a pity that many people went astray when it came to the charm of the movie. They focused on romance, love and ethics. It felt like the industry in the island country, vulgar and elegant.

After a long time, the scene calmed down.

The host made some opening remarks, and the awards ceremony began.

The process is very simple, the steps are neat, and there are no charades. It is casual and there is not a word of nonsense.

Whoever should get the award will go up and get it. Let me give you a brief introduction. The award recipients did not cry and complain about how difficult it was to shoot, how hard it was, etc. They were all happy and grateful.

Lyman sat down below, and after a while, all the small prizes were awarded.

However, the Cannes Film Festival also made him feel that there is a rush to queue up to get the results. It seems that the organizing committee also likes to strike a "balance".

Best Short Film: Winner from Australia.

Camera d'Or: Danish film "Reconstruction".

Special Attention Award: Afghan director "Osama".

Premiere Attention Award: France.

The Golden Horse Award was won by American director Clint Eastwood.

So don’t say that Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers like to strike a balance, the rules of the game all over the world are basically the same.

After the side dishes, it was time for the main meal.

In fact, after these days of warm-up, everyone has guessed who will win these big prizes, and they are definitely close to ten.

Just like Tom Cruise, this guy is very calm now.

Because after applying for Best Actor, this person spent a large amount of public relations money to operate it. Just now he was told that he was very confident.

As for Lehmann, he knew in his heart that at least he would win a jury award.

Three of the judges are French. Why do you think so?

But when the results were announced, I was still very excited. It wasn't Lyman, it was Tom Cruise.

This guy expressed all kinds of thanks on the stage. Not to mention, his literary talent was pretty good and he was very flattering. Someone probably wrote the acceptance speech for him.

When he came down, Lehmann's attention was also focused because the jury award was about to be unveiled.

The host continued to show no procrastination and started directly: "The winner is "Bad Guys", and I invite Lehmann to direct it."

As soon as he finished speaking, the audience was a little restless.

The reason? It’s the same thing. When a film with a commercial atmosphere wins an award, people will gossip about it, especially those artistic filmmakers who want to win the award far more than Lehmann does.

In their view, literary and artistic films have no box office audience, so if you don't give them some awards to comfort them, otherwise, who would be willing to make them?

Lyman didn't care about this and went up very calmly.

To be honest, when I hold the award in my hand, it is heavier than the statuette, and I don’t know what material it is made of.

"Thank you to the judges for their recognition...Thank you all." He said a few words briefly and then left the stage without any delay.

Next, the best screenplay was also given to "Bad Guys", but the most important Palme d'Or was ultimately given to the literary and artistic film "Elephant".

When the biggest award is awarded, it means the end of the film festival.

What you get will not always be complacent, and what you don’t get will not always feel sorry for yourself.

The so-called awards, those who care about them will naturally care about them, and those who don’t care about them will not matter.

Life is always going on.
