Chapter 725 What a big irony

The Cannes Film Festival has two traditions. One is the passion and unrestrainedness produced by France, like palm trees on the Mediterranean Sea and bikinis on the golden beach; Light, some people concluded that it is caused by the leaping aesthetics of the jury members with different styles every year.

If the 80-year-old Oscar is an octogenarian, then the 62-year-old Cannes is definitely a menopausal housewife. It is difficult to understand her temperament.

Those media that can accurately predict the Oscars have repeatedly failed at the Cannes Film Festival in the past. It is very rare to win the best director, best screenwriter, best actor, and best actress. Usually, deliberate calculations are unavoidable. All four are empty', not to mention the 'Palme d'Or' and the 'Jury Award'.

In the past Cannes Film Festival, there are countless films that were unanimously favored but failed.

On the closing day of the film festival, countless movie fans and media reporters once again gathered in front of the Festival Palace, but compared with the grand opening ceremony, the red carpet at the closing ceremony of the Cannes Film Festival is much smaller, and the focus of everyone's attention is also much smaller. It was all placed at the awards ceremony that followed.

I think it's the next best thing to win an award.

In the interview area, Duke faced the reporter's interview and said frankly, As long as the audience can like Fury Road, I will be very satisfied.

He didn't want to say anything more, then he left the interview area and walked towards the Palais des Festivals. After climbing the big steps, he saw a familiar figure standing not far in front of him, and he couldn't help but think of the things Harvey Weinstein mentioned News, strode over.

Natalie Portman had just exchanged a few words with someone, and out of the corner of her eye, she caught a tall figure behind her, but she didn't walk away, intending to face him directly.

She is not afraid of anyone. Nor would he let this person become his own nightmare. Duke Rosenberg is indeed well-known and has always been at the forefront of the Hollywood Power Rankings, but he can't cover the sky with one hand.

In fact, Natalie Portman is very clear, except for Warner Bros. and Twentieth Century Fox. Duke has little clout with other film companies, she doesn't work with them much, and he has a lot of clout in Hollywood, so she doesn't necessarily need to avoid her.

In the Jewish clubs of Hollywood, she was very popular, especially the old men, who appreciated what she did. But these people didn't like to see Duke Rosenberg, who was also Jewish.

This is an extremely complicated circle, and the scale of the industry involved is very large. Duke Rosenberg also has a large number of enemies and opponents in the circle. It is just a joke to say that someone can rule such a circle. .

so. Natalie Portman thinks that she doesn't need to be afraid of Duke, the big deal is not to cooperate with him and the two major companies he can influence in the future.

Anyway, there was not much cooperation.

Hi, Nat. Duke stood across from Natalie Portman.

Natalie Portman smiled. Hi, Duke.

If you only look at the appearance of the two of them, they are simply very good friends.

Duke knew what the woman on the other side had done. But he is also very clear that there is actually no good way for him to take her in a short time.

He's not brainless enough to think that he can dictate the future and destiny of others. This is an industry worth hundreds of billions of dollars, as long as there is enough profit to be made. Those studios care what he thinks?

What's more, Natalie Portman is far more popular than him among Hollywood Jewish forces.

Looking at Duke, Natalie Portman's smile became lighter and lighter. She could see some of her own characteristics in Duke. Just like what he said in the past, they were of the same kind.

You know, Nat, there is something I never thought about... Duke said slowly, I never thought we would stand here like we are now.

Actually, you should have thought about it. Natalie Portman looked at him and said seriously, I gave my most precious thing, but I didn't get what I deserved.

Duke tilted his head and looked at her. Need I say sorry, honey?

Natalie shook her head, I just hope that there will be no relationship between us from now on.

After saying this, Natalie regretted it. Isn't this a disguised form of fear of the other party?

Slowly clenching her hands into fists, she took a deep look at Duke, nothing could be seen on that calm face, then she turned around, ready to leave here.

Nate!

The moment Natalie turned around, Duke stopped her, I am very grateful for everything you have done this time.

He was never a big bad guy.

Natalie turned her head and glanced at Duke again. The hard-lined face was still calm, as if the expression on the other side would not change even if the sky above her head collapsed.

But she knew they were the same kind of people, and the matter probably wouldn't end there.

Natalie Portman no longer hesitated, strode away from here and walked into the Festival Palace, Duke Rosenberg has Walt Disney, David Ellison and Art World Management in Hollywood Formidable enemies, as well as Paramount Pictures, Universal Pictures, Sony Columbia and other companies that he cannot influence, she has a wide enough road to go in the future, and she will definitely become the most representative female star in Hollywood.

And she has been preparing for a film, which is a role of a schizophrenic, which is a big love of the school, and like her mother said, as long as the time is right, what belongs to her will eventually fall on her head.

Otherwise, the reason why she entered Harvard and temporarily gave up her acting career after graduating from Harvard to study in Jerusalem was not to win the goodwill of those old men in North American Jewish circles.

And she got the result she wanted.

Although her career is not going well at the moment, she regretted and hated her passing by an exceptionally outstanding role, but Duke Rosenberg is not the only outstanding director in Hollywood!

However, Natalie? Portman later regretted it even more.

She participated in the voting for various awards, but did not know the final result, so when the voice of Charlize Theron winning the best actress sounded on the stage of Lumiere Hall, she kept a bright smile on her face, hiding in the The left hand below has clenched the corner of the skirt into a crumpled ball.

The jealous gaze followed Charlize Theron's tall back into the backstage and retracted. Natalie let out a sigh of relief. She has always been known for her acting skills in her career, but she has never won any major performance awards. The vase from South Africa won the Cannes Best Actress after winning the Oscar.

This is really a big irony...

But after thinking about it, Natalie Portman put on an inexplicable smile again.

The three major European film festivals have always divided the cake. Now that Fury Road has already divided the best actress, the possibility of winning the Palme d'Or has become even smaller.

Although analyzing Isabelle Huppert's attitude, Fury Road has little chance of winning the Palme d'Or, but after the voting ended, she didn't know what the result would be, whether she would finally follow her wish.

terribly sorry……

Returning to her seat, Charlize Theron deliberately smiled apologetically at Duke, The possibility of you getting the Palme d'Or has become smaller.

Duke shrugged, That's not necessarily the case, don't forget, this is the most elusive of the three major European film festivals!

Unlike the Oscars, the three major European film festivals do not have fixed criteria for awards, and are obviously influenced by the preferences of the jury.

For example, this year's special jury award was unexpectedly born with double yolk eggs, which was shared by the film Fish Tank co-produced by the United Kingdom and the Netherlands, and Bat by South Korean director Park Chan-wook.

In fact, this is not strange and special. It is not that there have been double yolk eggs in the history of the Cannes Film Festival, especially in the session when Sunglasses King served as the chairman of the jury, and even produced 11 film kings and queens in one breath. Become the eternal laughing stock of the film industry.

If the double yolk egg is not too bizarre, then Filipino director Brillante Mendoza unexpectedly won the best director award, which is beyond everyone's imagination.

Brillante Mendoza is actually a frequent visitor to the Cannes Film Festival. Last year, he was shortlisted for the competition unit with The Handsome Customer Service Guy. It is recognized as a bad film in the competition unit of this film festival.

When the Filipino director came to accept the award, there was booing from the media seats, which made Brillante Mendoza very embarrassed.

The award ceremony is not as cumbersome and entertaining as the Oscars. It goes on at a faster pace, and soon there is only one last suspense - the ownership of the Palme d'Or.

Isabelle Huppert and French director Luc Besson stood on the stage together.

Natalie Portman first looked at Isabelle Huppert, then turned her head to look at Duke's position, and finally landed on Michael Haneke, the director of The White Ribbon. She had With 70% certainty, the Palme d'Or will fall on the head of the Austrian director.

The Palme d'Or is undoubtedly the most important award at the Cannes Film Festival.

On the stage, Isabelle Huppert didn't have any nonsense, looked ahead, and directly announced, The film that won the Palme d'Or is...Fury Road!

Applause broke out in an instant, and it was rare that there was no booing at the awards ceremony full of boos.

congratulations!

Charlize Theron hugged Duke tightly, Duke patted her on the back lightly, and then hugged James Franco, the crew left the three of them, Tom Cruise in After the opening, I went to the crew of Mission: Impossible 4.

Natalie Portman looked at Duke who was striding towards the stage, she couldn't hide the disappointment in her eyes, but she was a calm person after all, and quickly forced herself to accept this reality.

Duke stepped onto the stage, first hugged Isabelle Huppert and Luc Besson, and took the Palme d'Or from the latter.

There is no doubt that Fury Road, which won two awards, became the biggest winner of this Cannes Film Festival. (to be continued ~^~)
