For Sarah, this Cannes Film Festival is a vacation for her and Leonardo. Although she will also participate in film promotion and connect with filmmakers from all over the world. Because she got the attention of many directors, she only collected a stack of business cards, but Sarah still felt relaxed overall.When Michael Ovitz couldn't help but expect that "Requiem for a Dream" could create a miracle and become the second "Sex, Lies and Videotape", and the airborne main competition unit won the Palme d'Or in one fell swoop, Sarah didn't follow her at all. Nervous, because she clearly remembered reading a report in her previous life——

"The 1999 Cannes Film Festival jury was particularly unanimous in their love for Rosetta. It took them only 49 seconds to choose the final winner of the Palme d'Or. Never in the history of Cannes has a jury made such a decision. Speed..." So, the movie in this life is still the same movie, and the jury is still the same group of judges, so will the Palme d'Or change?

You have to ask David Cronenberg, the chairman of the jury at this year's Cannes Film Festival. After all, the Cannes Film Festival pursues an individual-authority-oriented chairman system, which means that the chairman of the jury is the The real core of the award, a chairman will determine the taste of the jury.So when the Chairman David Cronenberg disagreed with everyone, there was no way to decide the final ownership of the Palme d'Or. It was as fast as 49 seconds in the previous life.

"You can't push a newcomer's work to the Palme d'Or just because of your personal preferences. This film is obviously not...not enough...not mature enough..." The voice of jury member Andre Tessine gradually weakened, and he knew it himself This reason is a bit far-fetched, but "Requiem for a Dream" is indeed not his taste. As a well-known French director, most of the films he directed are elegant and emotional, such as "Memories of France", "Love in Paris by Night", "Beloved" "One Life" and so on, these films are very different from "Requiem for a Dream" in terms of narrative techniques, overall rhythm and theme style, so he became the most opposed vote for "Requiem for a Dream" in the jury Member of Song.

"No matter in terms of theme concept, shooting method, editing method, performance and even soundtrack, it is amazing enough. Where is such a "Requiem for a Dream" immature? Andre, are you dissatisfied with the movie, or Are you discriminating against the director's age?" David Cronenberg's words were quite sharp, he clapped his palms and said to all the jury members on the table, "Now close your eyes and recall all the films you have seen throughout the festival. The main competition film, I only give you three seconds, 3...2...1! OK! Tell me, which movie has the deepest impression and impact on you? Which movie first appeared in your mind? Which one Which movie is the most memorable for you?"

"..." There was silence in the room. After a long time, Andre Tessine pushed the water glass away as if in a fit of anger, and said unhappily, "It's not fair. We have been discussing "Dream" for the past five minutes. "Requiem", so of course it is the first thing everyone thinks of in a short time, David, your psychological tricks are not fun at all."

"Really? Do you think this is just a trick of psychology?" David Cronenberg raised his eyebrows and asked leisurely.

Never, ever underestimate the power of a Cannes jury president!

When the Cannes Film Festival came to the final awards ceremony and "The Blair Witch" unexpectedly won the best overseas film, Sarah and Michael already felt that the trip was worthwhile. The movie unexpectedly brought such a big surprise to the team, and they didn't even know that there were even bigger surprises waiting for them in the future.

Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Director... The awards ceremony in Cannes will not be as complicated and lengthy as Oscars and other ceremonies. Soon it will be the final award of the 52nd Cannes Film Festival. At this time, Sarah and Leonardo are excited and whispering, sharing the joy brought by "The Blair Witch". A scene from the film copyright.Her attention is not on the stage at all, she is not curious about who the Palme d'Or belongs to, she has even regarded the sound on the stage as the background sound in her ears...

The scream pierced her eardrums so unexpectedly, and her arm was grabbed hard. When Sarah raised her head in a daze, she was completely out of control. She watched Darren excitedly get up from the seat and grab her. Holding her in her arms, she could feel Darren's whole body trembling, and his excited appearance seemed to be crazy.At the same time, applause like a tide flooded into her ears, and it was only after she realized what happened.

"The Palme d'Or? Did we win the Palme d'Or? "Requiem for a Dream" won the Palme d'Or?" Watching Darren walk up to the podium step by step, along with the two directors of "Rosetta", The famous Belgian director brothers Jean-Pierre Darnay and Luc Darnay, Sarah was completely confused, she stared at a pair of big eyes in disbelief, turned her head to Leonardo and confirmed in a trance, "Dear , pinch me, am I dreaming? Are my eyes blurred? There are three people on the stage? Three Palme d'Or?"

"That's right, your eyes are normal, there are three." Leonardo also looked pleasantly surprised. Of course, he didn't pinch Sarah, but gave his little girlfriend a kiss so strong that it could suffocate. Ra came back from shock to reality.

"My God, my God! Is the organizer crazy? How much does it cost to produce a Palme d'Or trophy? The sponsorship money they got this year must be too much to spend?" Sarah's head was already in chaos , her thinking logic is also very strange, she is actually worrying about funding for the organizer!

Leonardo burst out laughing when he heard the words. He looked at Sarah dumbfounded, and simply rubbed his girlfriend with a broken head into his arms, resisting the urge to laugh and reminded Sarah to look ahead and accept the award in a low voice. Their partners on the stage are still waiting for their acceptance speeches!

The Darney Brothers originally asked Darren to speak first, but this kid seemed so excited that he turned around when he came on stage, and he groaned into the microphone for two seconds without saying a word "Thank you" amidst everyone's good-hearted laughter In desperation, the Darney brothers had no choice but to pull the stupid Darren aside, hoping that after the two of them finished their thank you speeches, the young American man could find his tongue back.

Finally, encouraged by everyone's laughter and applause, Darren Aronofsky stood in front of the microphone again, his eyes were red and tears rolled in his eyes: "Thank you! Thank you jury, thank you Cannes Films Festival, oh...thank you..."

He still choked up after all.

"Thank you Sarah for recommending such a good story to me, thank you Starlight Company for supporting me even when the film classification was blocked, thank you, thank you, Ellen, Christian and all the partners involved in the film production..." Darren watched again excitedly To the direction of the jury, I bowed deeply, "Thank you Cannes for giving me this opportunity to stand on this stage that belongs to filmmakers all over the world, and proudly say to everyone that my film is not indecent." Brilliant shit, my movie is great! Thank you! Thank you AFS, I would have missed this beautiful trophy if it wasn't for your refusal, so thank you... I just want to say that I am very very very proud now , because I didn't compromise, I persevered!"

When Darren actually thanked the American Film Classification Board, the audience burst into laughter, and when he puffed up his chest and proudly said "no compromise", everyone stood up and gave him the warmest applause. Everyone was moved by his speech. When they talked about the banned film "Requiem for a Dream", they just regarded it as a chat after dinner, but now they are applauding a persistent filmmaker, standing on the stage This young man on the stage deserves their most sincere and warmest applause!

The Cannes Film Festival finally came to an end amidst applause. Some were happy and some were sad. On that day, a large number of reports flooded into the headlines of entertainment sections all over the world. Among them, "Requiem for a Dream" appeared in almost all the reports. , becoming the biggest dark horse and the most topical film in the entire film festival.Although some media complained about the excellent films that did not win awards, such as "Mr. Strait's Story", "An Unexpected Journey" and "All About My Mother", which ranked among the top in the show magazine, were all picked up by the media, but more The report still revolves around the two films winning.

In fact, in the history of the Cannes Film Festival, it is not that there have been two films winning awards at the same time. In 1979, the 32nd Olympic Cannes Film Festival "The Tin Drum" and "Apocalypse Now" were both anti-war themes. The film, because it was equally excellent, made the jury unable to make a decision. In the end, the chairman François Sagan made the decision, and two Palmes d'Or were born. In the 1993th Cannes Film Festival in 46, because the then chairman Louis Mahler had a special liking for "Farewell My Concubine" directed by Chen Kaige, and most of the judges supported "The Piano Lesson", so it was discussed many times. After the results, two Palmes were finally given out.

And this year, two films and three Palmes d'Or will probably become the most special event in the history of Cannes. Unless the Dardennes and Coen brothers win at the same time next time, there may be a chance of four Palmes d'Or...

"The 52nd Cannes Film Festival has come to an end, and the three Palmes d'Or are the biggest surprise!"

""Requiem for a Dream" took home the Palme d'Or, and the director thanked the classification committee?"

"Sarah and Leon returned to China in a low-key manner, and appeared in New York holding hands intimately."

The American media generally do not report too much on the Cannes Film Festival. It is a festival of "other people's family" that has nothing to do with them. Obviously different.For a while, reports about "Requiem for a Dream" were flying all over the sky, surpassing the recently released "Star Wars" and becoming the hottest topic. Not only domestic film critics were eagerly looking forward to it, but they wanted to see this Palme d'Or movie. Stirring their lungs, even movie enthusiasts began to ask when the movie will be released. As long as they can catch a glimpse of the "banned movie", they don't mind even if they buy a plane ticket and fly to a city with a special theater.

Michael Ovitz complied with public opinion and prepared to organize an extremely small-scale domestic premiere. The film critics almost cheered when they heard the news. The film festival is full of ridicule, just waiting for this day!

"Even winning the Palme d'Or can't change the status of the banned film "Requiem for a Dream", especially since Darren is so merciless in 'thanking' the classification committee in front of filmmakers all over the world, tsk, he forgot Michael's warning It’s clean, just a word of thanks makes it wishful thinking for Michael to discuss with the committee and reclassify.” Sarah, who is the leading actor of the movie, is in New York at this time, holding her precious son and complaining to Leonardo.She did not attend the film premiere, but chose to spend her son's second birthday with her.

Time flies, and her little Noah is already two years old in a blink of an eye!

"It shouldn't be wishful thinking to take little Noah to play with the crew for two days. You can discuss it with Tom." Leonardo suggested as he looked at the little baby stuck in Sarah's arms.

The little guy is very sensible now, he knows that Mom-Mi will only appear for a few days and then leave again, so he tightly grasps the corner of Mom-Mi's clothes, for fear that Mom-Mi will disappear in the next second, this little look Seeing that Sarah was in such a mess for a long time, even if Leonardo didn't say anything, she planned to call Tom Cruise, even though she knew that doing so was unprofessional, and many crews were very disgusted with this kind of bringing family members into the house behavior, but she was really reluctant to part with her precious son, and couldn't stand the little guy's wet eyes full of nostalgia.

Time was running out, she would only stay in New York for two days before rushing back to the crew of "Mission: Impossible", and this time she not only carried a suitcase, but also brought two handsome blond men, one big and one small.

Tom Cruise looked at the two big and one small walking towards him, and the corners of his mouth twitched unconsciously: "Are you here on vacation with your family? I remember you only said on the phone that you would bring your son over!"

"That's right!" Sarah spread her hands, rubbed little Noah's head, and raised her chin to Leonardo, "Mr. Cruise, please allow me to introduce—my little Noah son Noah, and my oldest son Leonardo..."

"..." Tom Cruise was so shocked by the word "eldest son" that his jaw almost fell to the ground.

"Come on, babies, call Uncle Tom." Sarah tried her best to hold back a smile, and put little Noah in her arms on the ground.

Little Noah is a well-mannered and well-behaved baby. Mommy taught him several times on the way here, so at this time, after receiving Mommy's instructions, the little guy stumbled onto Tom Cruise's bed with his short legs. Next to the legs, hugged Mr. Cruise's little legs, raised his little head and greeted softly in a milky voice: "Hello, Uncle Tom..."

The soft and good baby conquered the mighty Mr. Mission: Impossible in minutes with just one sentence.

In the next second, Sarah's "eldest son" touched... touched his nose, and rushed over in a similar manner. It's a pity that this big baby was ruthlessly disgusted, and Leonardo hadn't shouted the phrase "Uncle Tom , hello", Tom Cruise rolled his eyes to the sky!
