Among the three major European film festivals, the position of the chairman of the jury is crucial. In the process of selecting awards, all judges will discuss and vote to ensure that the final agreement is reached, but the chairman must shoulder the responsibility of coordination and control, especially when differences arise, they must show decisive courage and domineering.

In the selection history of the highest awards of the three major film festivals, there have been many cases where the aesthetic taste of the chairman of the jury determines the awards. In the past ten years alone, there have been many cases at the Cannes Film Festival——

The "White Ribbon" in 2009, the "Wind Blowing Wheat Wave" in 2006, the "Fahrenheit 911" in 2004, and the "Elephant" in 2003. These Palme d’Or works are more or less subject to huge controversy, but In the end, it was the result of a firm decision made by the chairman of the jury, and was even criticized as "arbitrary."

Time will tell whether their choice is correct.

Conversely, if the chairman is not strong enough, but is manipulated by the judges, or even swayed to a complete collapse, then this is also a disaster for the award selection.

The Cannes Film Festival in 1997 is the most typical representative.

The legendary French actress Isabelle-Adjani (Isabelle-Adjani) served as the chairman of the jury, but she did not have enough aesthetic taste for the film, and at the same time did not have enough strength and professionalism to suppress other judges, so that the discussion process aroused The fierce quarrel completely collapsed.

During the discussion, Isabel pretended to be generous and asked all the judges to communicate in English. This is not an official rule in Cannes, because some judges do not have good English, so they are allowed to communicate in their own language and complete the discussion with the help of a translator or translator or other judges.

In order to express her generosity and strength, Isabel confidently chose English, but this has become a shortcoming for her to restrain herself when arguing with other judges——

Because her English is not very good, her thinking speed and defensive ability are far from insufficient.

What's more deadly is that several "thorns" in the jury, Tim Burton, Mira-Sorvino (Mira-Sorvino), Mike-Lee are all native English-speaking judges.

At the same time, Mira Sorvino, who studied in the Department of East Asian Languages ​​and Literatures at Harvard University, is fluent. She has written a thesis on Chinese and won an award. As a result, she became the English translator for Gong/Li, another judge in the jury.

In addition, the Italian director Nanni-Moretti is an unspeakable, well-versed in speech and persuasion; and Mike Lee, who just picked the Palme d’Or the previous year, is even more imposing and defiant. The persistence and field of art are among the top ranks in the entire European continent, so Isabel is naturally not in his eyes.

To make matters worse, the first work discussed by the jury was Wang/jia/wei’s "Spring/Light/Zhang/Xie". As soon as it came up, Isabel said "This is not a good movie." The judges all expressed their opposition and gave the film numerous praises, and even thought it was one of the best works of the year.

Isabel couldn't come to Taiwan immediately, so she started to lose her temper.

After the internal discussion was over, Mike Lee did not shy away from the media present at the public relations party, and yelled angrily, "This is the stupidest woman I have ever seen!"

At the 50th Anniversary of the Cannes Film Festival, Isabel’s favorite “Don’t Forget” won the Jury Prize, and Nanni’s support of the Iranian/Lang film “The Taste of Cherry” was not in the majority of the judges. If he likes it, he successfully counterattacked and won the Golden Palm in parallel with the "eel" supported by Mike——

This is another double egg yolk.

The chairman of the festival Giles Jacobs is also very dissatisfied with this result. They have been trying to avoid the double yolk of Palme d'Or, but this happened. But Isabel was unable to suppress the other judges. In the end, Giles had no choice but to accept it. After the film festival, Giles was also full of complaints and complaints.

Also, "Spring/Light/Zhang/Xie" won the best director award.

Later, Isabel also became the laughing stock of the media.

Therefore, the position of the chairman of the jury is very important. Under normal circumstances, people will think that Palme d’Or is a concentrated expression of the aesthetic taste of the chairman of the jury, and their names are inseparably linked to each session of the Palme d’Or.

So, how will Steven Spielberg choose?

...

"It's OK! It's OK!"

There was a shout from the media center, and everyone’s eyes immediately gathered together, and they fell expectantly on the person who made the noise. The hustle and bustle of the discussion disappeared without a trace, and a quiet environment allowed people to come. You can spread the sound effortlessly.

"'Venus in Fur' is out, they are not on the list."

"Ah!" Emily raised her hands subconsciously and began to cheer and celebrate. Then she realized that she was not alone, and all the other reporters around were high-fiving, as if she had just completed a feat. The atmosphere of collective jubilation gurgled in the media, and the eyes couldn't help but brighten.

"'Huarong Yuemei' is definitely not going to attend the red carpet!"

"Wow." Everyone let out a long sigh of relief, uncontrollably letting out the rest of their lives. The term "after the catastrophe" seems a little inappropriate, but at this moment, everyone has this feeling in their hearts, as if after avoiding the dung/pit, they have avoided the puddle dangerously and dangerously—— This description does not seem appropriate.

"But... "The Beautiful City" and "Hurley" are still uncertain."

"Oh." The audience was almost unanimous, and everyone sighed in unison. Both "The Beautiful City" and "Hurley" were just released in the last two days, and the entire crew is still there. Cannes, but for what reason, no one can know. This also means that there are still eight crews remaining in Cannes.

There are only seven awards. If there are eight works, then it means there is a double egg yolk? The competition of Palme d’Or is becoming increasingly fierce and the suspense is growing. So, which work will become cannon fodder?

When I realized that everyone's attitudes were so synchronized, a ridiculous feeling of joy came to my face, and everyone burst into laughter.

This year is not a big year, it can even be said to be a small year. The average quality of the works can only be said to be above the standard. The two works "Adele's Life" and "Drunk Country Folk Songs" took the lead with absolute advantage. When the film festival ended At that time, there were still only two works that eventually reached three points or more.

It is precisely because of this that all the attention has been focused on these two works. No matter which work wins Palme d’Or, it means that the other work will lose out; but if... just if, "extremely beautiful If "City of the City" or "Hurley" wins with an upset, then these two works with more than three points may become cannon fodder.

Such a situation may not appear at the Oscars, but it is accustomed to the three major European film festivals. In other years, everyone's heartache and grief may not be so intense, but this year these two works are the best ones. Once they become cannon fodder, it will be really sad.

Therefore, the reaction of all reporters is so consistent.

After a little relief, the tension began to spread again. Now, they have nothing else to do. They can only wait quietly to see if the crew of "The Beautiful City" will attend tonight's closing ceremony on the red carpet.

Once attending...

The waiting time is extremely difficult, even one second seems extremely long. The reporters in the media center can only force themselves to calm down, share the gossip rumors on the Cannes front for the first time, and then swipe their Twitter and Facebook pages. There are endless topics from above, distracting oneself.

But for Emily, it’s not so easy. Even the ups and downs of discussions on social networks can’t distract her. In desperation, she can only start thinking about the draft after the award ceremony. How should I write it, but after thinking about it, I can’t help but start thinking. If the Palme d’Or is awarded to the "beautiful city", what does it mean?

The more I think about it, the more nervous it is ~www.novelhall.com~ The more I think about it, the more irritable it is.

Finally, Emily took out her mobile phone, put on her headphones, and began to listen to the original soundtrack of "Drunk Country Folk Songs".

At the previous press conference, the Coen brothers mentioned that the original soundtrack of the movie was actually released earlier than the movie, and it is already available online and offline.

Emily placed the order in the first time, ordered an album by mail in advance, sent it home, and received it after returning home after the Cannes Film Festival; and also purchased the entire album online. In the past two The days and time cycled over and over again, and my thoughts were completely immersed in the emotions of the movie, unable to extricate themselves.

Among the albums, Emily's favorite is Lan Li's singing. It has nothing to do with the movie, but also with the movie.

In the beginning, because of the work "Drunk Country Folk Songs", I always felt that there was a singer named Levine Davis in real life; but gradually, Emily fell in love with the folk song. Wiping sorrow and bitterness, she then bought the album "Don Quixote" online and was deeply obsessed with it.

Her favorite is undoubtedly the song "The Beast". Everyone says that there is a sad story hidden behind this song. Even if she doesn’t know the ins and outs of things, every time she listens, she still involuntarily sighs, as if she can capture the phrase "So grass/your The helplessness and anger behind the "dream".

Now, she finally understood why the Coen brothers chose Renly to play Levine Davis.

After cycling over and over again, then the crowd in her sight suddenly began to agitate. Emily took off her earplugs, followed everyone's sights and cast them to the TV screen hanging on the wall, and quickly stood up. Because she realized--

The red carpet has begun! 8) For more wonderful novels, welcome to visit everyone's reading academy
