315. Chapter 315 Scene 315 Movie Paradise

The applause gradually stopped in "Thank you, thank you", and everyone sat back. The sexy and boundless Laura Morant on the stage looked down at the audience and said the opening speech in her sexy Italian accent English excitedly:

"Tonight, at this moment, it is the most glorious day of my life to be here with you. I am now feeling strange and excited, and even a little dizzy. Not only is there a talented director, but the chairman of the jury tonight's jury stands beside me, but also because we are about to be able to relive the genius film works that have emerged this year."

Quentin Tarantino teased in his usual ruffian tone:

"This year is the 57th. When I first heard that Cannes was eight or nine years old, I saw articles in the newspaper. For me, Cannes is a paradise. If you like movies, Cannes is a paradise. Thank God~ I came to heaven 3 times~"

All of them were amused at the scene and burst into laughter.

"My first dream came true was to take my first movie "Reservoir Dog" to Cannes. My second dream was achieved by my movie "Pulp Novel" and won the Palme d'Or. My next dream was to join the jury, and I became the chairman."

Amid the audience burst into laughter, Quentin Tarantino's tone became sincere and looked at everyone below:

"I believe that if you make a movie, you will definitely have dreams. If you have a dream, then Cannes must be your dream city. I believe that there are countless young filmmakers who came to Cannes this year, like me, the first time they came to Cannes, including those from the United States, from South Korea, from Thailand, from Hong Kong... China..."

Amid the applause, the TV screen shots switched with Quentin Tarantino's lines, recording representatives of various countries, the American "Fahrenheit 911" crew, South Korea's "Old Boy" crew, Thailand's "Tropical Disease" crew, Hong Kong's "46" crew, and China's "If You Are the One" crew...

The live director obviously knew the taste of French audiences better, and did not give them the shots of "The Ten-Side Ambush", but turned to "If You Are the One" which made a big splash on the red carpet, aiming at Li Xiaole, the youngest director on the scene.

Quentin Tarantino began to laugh and talk about the guests in the audience. With bursts of applause and laughed, he looked in the direction of the front row and said with a smile: "Let's see what kind of beauties there are to support this year. This is carefully selected by me as the chairman of the jury. To be honest, this is also my only criterion for choosing movies. Charlize Theron, my dear, where are you?"

There was a burst of laughter at the scene, and the camera immediately glanced at Charlize Theron. She smiled and raised her palm and lowered her head, meaning "Don't joke with me." Quentin Tarantino continued: "I just finished watching you perform "The Devil". I guess you heard me call you dear, I definitely want to come up and slap me in the face, but don't forget that I am the chairman~."

The audience burst into laughter. Charlize Theron smiled and looked down without looking at the camera. Quentin Tarantino suddenly noticed something surprising and said, "Sorry, I didn't see Aisivaya next to you." He said calmly:

"According to Indian customs, I must have been sexually harassed by the defendant just now. Sorry, I'm not calling you~" Indian superstar Bollywood's No. 1 beauty Aisivaya also laughed and made a gesture of blessing on the stage with her hands folded and wishing her blessings.

"Of course, I also invited my Chinese friend, who is also a great beauty." After talking for a few words, Quentin Tarantino said seriously, and a chuckle broke out from the audience, and he continued:

"He asked me to make sure he showed his face so that he could call her name next time he came to Cannes."

Just as everyone's eyes were looking at Zhang Ziyi in the direction of the crew of "The Ten-Side Ambush", Zhang Ziyi was excited to cover her chest and prepare to stand up, but Quentin Tarantino pointed to the crew of "If You Are the One" and said loudly:

"She is my new friend, Li Xiaole~~"

At this time, the camera was aimed at Li Xiaole's handsome little face. Everyone was stunned. The scene was filled with laughter. Even Sun Li and Zhang Guorong were laughing happily beside him.

Li Xiaole had to smile dryly at the camera in embarrassment and thought to himself, your sister... Quentin still resented the fact that he stole his laser sword.

This shot is included in media signals around the world and is broadcast all over the world. Many European and American movie fans in front of the TV find it a little puzzled and ask their friends around, who is this?

"Well, you owe me a favor. Next time I have my birthday, I will give you the address. Remember to win you from the Coen brothers "Star Wars" laser saber back to me as a gift."

Amid the loud laughter, Quentin Tarantino spread his hands and said reluctantly: "Sorry, he won the 'Plot Guess' game in the Cinema a few days ago. Brother Coen must have hated him as much as I do..." After joking about several movies and Will Smith, and Wang Jiawei wearing sunglasses, Squentin Tarantino said in an emotional tone:

"The guests tonight have many familiar faces. The conference praised your talents. You are very popular among people from all over the world. I can't help but think of a question, why do we attend the film festival?" The venue sounded leisurely and soft music. Quentin Tarantino took a few steps and said:

"Everyone here comes from different countries, has different political factors, social culture, but we also love the same movies~"

Various movie clips began to be played on the big screen. In "Fahrenheit 911", the Empire State Building is falling far away in the smoke... In "Monster Shrek 2", the fat green man held the princess to fight monsters, and in "Motorcycle Diary", Che Guevara rode a motorcycle across the Argentine grasslands.

"We have never encountered a disaster like 9/11, have never seen terrifying monsters, and have not launched a revolution in a foreign country like the great Che Guevara... They are not the characters in our lives, experiences." As the picture was Quentin Tarantino looked at everyone below and said in a deep tone:

"But each of us has encountered moments of danger, we have all been desperate, and have been threatened by evil, and have risen to resist. Everyone is also confused and at a loss... When we face everything that happens in life alone, we can find answers in the movie, resonate with them, and be inspired by these stories to become better people...

Good movies are the common wealth of everyone in the world. We are here to witness greatness together, discovering those genius-like moments, the most brilliant moments in the human soul. This is a festival belonging to the movie, and a festival belonging to each of us."

Thunderous applause resounded again throughout the venue, and the long opening speech ended. Quentin Tarantino returned to the judges' seat and sat side by side on the white ivory bench with Tsui Hark, Emmanuel Piya, Tsui Hark, Tida Swindon and Catherine Tona. The award ceremony officially began.

Amid the thunderous applause, Sophiemashu stood in front of the microphone in the center of the stage with a white singing skirt like snow, showing a noble and elegant smile, and said:

"Thank you for your applause. This is my third time here. Every time I stand here, I feel incredible. I am honored to witness this exciting moment again. The winner of the jury award is..."

Since the Cannes Film Festival is different from the Oscars, all awards are selected together, and there is no shortlisted picture. The camera is directly aimed at the crew of each competition unit below the stage. The organizing committee award is equivalent to the third prize of the Cannes Film Festival. It is generally awarded to works second only to the Palme d'Or and the jury award. In other words, if you get this award, you will not be able to get the Palme d'Or.

Like the popular crews of "46" and "Fahrenheit 911", they don't want the camera to come here at this time, but the other small crews who came here are full of them.

"The award is directed by Park Chan-woo, "Old Boy." Sophie Marceau opened the envelope and read it out while smiling.

"Huwu" The venue immediately exclaimed applause. Sophie Marceau tied his hair and smiled and said, "Congratulations to Park Zan-yu~"

Korean director Park Chan-woo was excited and speechless, just kept saying: "Thanks Choi Min-sik for his wonderful performance in the film, thank him, and thanks to all the crew members."

He is the second Korean director to be recognized by the Cannes judges, and he is only ranked behind the godfather of Korean films, and his excitement can be imagined.

Next, the Best Short Film Award was awarded - the Russian film "Ordinary Life", the Best Actor - the Japanese film "No One Knows", the 14-year-old Ayugen (, Best Supporting Actor (Chris Cooper,), the Best Film Award for a Unit of Focus - "Marland"

What excited Li Xiaole and all Chinese people was that Chinese films also won a huge prize in awards. Director Yang Cao won the "Golden Camera Special Attention Award" for the documentary "Journey", while Zhang Manyu won the first Best Actress Award for Asian Actor in an unprecedented way.

Zhang Manyu thanked her ex-husband affectionately and the director of the movie "Cleaning".

Although Li Xiaole had known this result for a long time, when he saw the audience applause and congratulations to Maggie Cheung, he was still extremely excited and couldn't help but cheer loudly below.

Of course, "Cleaning" is a French film, and Maggie Cheung was also selected as a French nationality. The French people did not regard Maggie Cheung as an outsider, and everyone was very happy. The applause gradually stopped in "Thank you, thank you", and everyone sat back. Laura Morant on the stage looked down at the audience and said the opening speech in her sexy Italian accent English excitedly:
