Two hundred and twentieth IX European affairs

With the passage of more than ten days, the 51st Cannes Film Festival is finally ushering in the final moment, although the "Mulholland Drive" directed by Miracle has been the biggest focus throughout the festival, so that the people who participated There are more or less things to talk about, but there are also many good movies and many good actors and directors that attract attention.

For example, "Beautiful Taobao Women's Clothing Tmall Taobao Mall Taobao Women's Winter Clothes M Life" written, directed and acted by Italian director Roberto Bernini has received considerable praise, or the plump beauty from China The female actress, her large advertising photo hanging high under the palm trees on the beach is very eye-catching. Similarly, the Chinese director who has not produced the Mantou Murder is also showing his last glory in Cannes.

So many people are still full of expectations for the upcoming awards ceremony. In any case, Cannes films are quite famous in the world, especially the Palme d'Or, and countless directors will want to win one.

The awards ceremony was held at the Teide Grand Theater. Although it is over 50 years old, the Cannes Film Festival has begun to try to commercialize the idea, but the awards ceremony is as usual without any gimmicks, except for awards or awards.

"The winners of the Best Female Actor are Elodie Boucher and Natasia Renier, "Angel's Dream Life"" With the announcement of the award-presenting guests, there was a round of warm applause at the scene.

"It's a pity, I thought the judges would give you this award very generously." Adrian applauded regretfully and said to Naomi who was sitting next to him, and at the same time glanced at Naomi Nicole next to him, not by his side, this is not the premiere of the movie, even if many people secretly confirm that he and Nicole have a tuǐ, but she is not completely divorced after all, and it is very inappropriate to arrange it on the left and right sides .

"It's okay, as long as you're here." Naomi, who was also applauding, responded with a smile, saying this without any pressure, so that Nicole couldn't help but tilt her head.

Adrian smiled slightly. He liked Naomi's attitude very much, and he fully expressed his thoughts with a pun. If it wasn't for this place, not for Hollywood, not for his stronghold, he would really like to fight for the best female actress for Naomi. Although the Cannes actress is not very valuable, it is much better than nothing.

However, the jury of the Cannes Film Festival is not as large as the judges of the Academy of Film Science and Art—in fact, sometimes the more people there are, the easier it is to be influenced. As long as the influence of the mainstream is grasped, the herd effect cannot be avoided as long as there are conditions—and There are always some people from all over the world, plus it is the territory of the French. Even if Martin Scorsese and Winona Ryder are among the judges, it is still difficult for Americans to win a certain award of.

"Actually, what I want to know most is whether you can get the Palme d'Or again." Naomi said again suddenly.

He smiled, but Adrian didn't answer. Although "Mulholland Drive" was very popular at the film festival and won praise from many European film critics, it is not so easy to win the Palme d'Or again. In the more than 50-year history of the Cannes Film Festival, there are only a handful of directors who have won the Palme d'Or twice, and all of them are well-known and elderly directors. He has already broken an age record. Will those people agree with him? Break again?

Anyway, the main purpose of making this film and participating in the film festival is not to win awards, and he still has many opportunities to win the Palme d'Or again, so why stick to the present. Besides, "Mulholland Drive" has created such a big momentum, and they have to give an award to comfort them rationally. I don't know if it is the best director or the film festival award.

Sure enough, as he expected, after the best actor was awarded to Peter Mullen, the leading actor of the British movie "My Name is Joe", the best director fell to Adrian.

"I am very grateful to the judges for awarding the best director to me. I really didn't expect to get another best director trophy at the Cannes Film Festival. This is an experimental work, thank you for recognizing it, Of course, I would also like to thank Nicole and Naomi for their outstanding performances and the hard work of the crew." Although Adrian looked serious on the surface, there was a bit of teasing in his tone, and the hall couldn't help thinking of a low voice. Low laughter, everyone knows that after he won the best director, the Palme d'Or is definitely not his.

However, there was something else in the laughter. Although he didn't say it clearly, there was a meaning revealed in his words. "Mulholland Drive" is not a tribute to David Lynch. Most likely, he wants to prove that Own. Of course, there are also some people who looked at Naomi and Nicole with envy or jealousy, and specifically expressed their thanks in their award speeches. Even if there is no date or āo relationship, they will definitely not be able to escape overnight.

Amid the applause, Adrian returned to his seat, and then the film festival award was awarded to Roberto Bernini's "Beautiful Taobao Women's Clothing Tmall Taobao Mall Taobao Women's Winter Coat M Life", and Jin The palm was given to Dai Angelopoulos, the director of the Greek film "Eternity and One Day". Bernini went crazy with joy after winning the award. ? Scorsese thanked again and again, causing the audience to burst into laughter, but these have nothing to do with him.

After the awards ceremony, the Cannes Film Festival will also be closed, but all the anecdotes that happened at the film festival will become people's talking points for a long time, such as the miracle director finally denying the tribute to Lynch. Of course, this is just some people's interpretation of the award speech, and different people have different interpretations, so the debate about "Mulholland Drive" is still going on.

Many people who pay attention to this matter, whether critics or ordinary people, have to lament that the works born from the hands of miracle directors are different. This also makes many filmmakers who did not go to Cannes but paid attention to this matter also feel that "Mulholland Drive " was full of curiosity, every three days someone left a message on the media's official movie website asking when it would be released.

Although the reporters wanted to take advantage of the fact that the director of Miracle finally spoke up and continued to dig out something, just like the situation in the past ten days, Adrian was lost immediately after the film festival closed, even though they I followed Nicole or Naomi around the clock, but I didn't see the figure I wanted to see before they left.

Although the reporters were all gnashing their teeth, they were helpless. After all, Adrian was not only a great director and producer, but also an upstart in the media in Hollywood. The means of dealing with ordinary celebrities did not have much effect on him. Even for someone like Disney Michael Eisner, who is an ordinary rich man as long as he leaves his job, as long as he is still sitting in the chairman position, reporters must treat him with care, not to mention that he is only worse than Murdoch, Redstone and others. Serve a little Adrian.

Although these people are very depressed now, Adrian is quite comfortable. After the trip to Cannes, he went to London, and then drove north leisurely to visit the small towns in England. Of course, Sophie? Marceau is by his side. Although Adrian did not come to Paris to get together with her less often, the time was short after all, otherwise, even if she saw his intimate appearance with Nicole and Naomi at the film festival, she would not have tensed her face and pushed him away. Er refused to let her in again and again, so that in the end she had to use unconventional means to enter her room.

So after the film festival ended, Adrian immediately invited Sophie to take a tour of the UK, and Sophie would not refuse. Although when she was in Cannes, she often complained or even got angry in her heart, and more than once she suspected in her heart that she was a bit too cheap. Whenever she thought of the joy she had on the Eiffel Tower in Paris, and the luàn at midnight in that small movie theater, she would A little shy and embarrassed, but as long as Adrian coaxed a few words by her side, she would immediately become happy.

This time is no exception, and the English rural scenery along the way is also very interesting. She quickly forgot all the unhappiness accumulated before, but there are also unpleasant things, such as...

"A very beautiful butterfly." On a small hillside, Emma pointed to the wild huā in the bushes and called out in surprise.

"It's really beautiful, and it looks familiar, but I don't remember what species it is." Adrian walked over, observed it carefully, and said, just after finishing speaking, the butterfly, which was slightly larger than the ordinary white butterfly, flapped its wings and left .

"It's really rare. Even you who claim to have a photographic memory can't remember things." Sophie, who followed up, teased with a smile.

"It's not that I don't remember, but I remember too many things. It takes time to search in my head. As long as I have enough time, I will definitely be able to recall it." Adrian shrugged.

"Good idea, even if you can't find it after enough time, you can still say that you haven't seen it, right?" Sophie's reaction was very quick, but Emma's crisp voice came in at this moment : "It's a pity that I didn't bring tools, otherwise I could have caught it."

The little girl pouted and tugged at the corner of Adrian's clothes, looking very regretful. Although Sophie wanted to say a few words, she just sighed softly in the end.

"Well, when we get to the next town, let's see if there are any tools for catching butterflies for sale, and then when we go to the next hillside, how about trying to catch butterflies we like." Adrian squeezed Emma's little face.

"Okay, okay." The little guy immediately clapped his hands happily.

"But let's say it first, Sophie and I don't know how to catch butterflies, so don't laugh at us then." Adrian followed up and said something, and he didn't pull her until the little guy nodded "hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm" repeatedly Go to the blanket that has been laid under the big tree. As for the cloudy sky, let's wait until the rain comes.

Although the atmosphere of the picnic was quite harmonious, Adrian still felt Sophie's resentment, and he could only sigh in his heart. It's not that he doesn't want to have a couple with Sophie, it's just that if Emma finds out that he arrived in London but didn't go to see her immediately, I'm afraid there will be a lot of trouble in the future. If it was before, it's okay to say, but last year Several promises were not fulfilled, and the little guy was very angry.

"Let me tell you clearly, Mr. Adrian, half of you are already on the blacklist in my heart." Emma once pretended to "warn" him.

From the fact that she would rather ask for leave from school to be with her, she knew that if Adrian did not compromise, she would definitely face a disaster.

"Okay, Sophie, she's just a child, and don't you think this is interesting?" Adrian, who was enjoying the moment of peace, said to himself when Emma had lunch and started running wildly on the hillside The woman said.

"I know, but..." Sophie couldn't help the scholar Emma pouted, making her look cute.

She knew about Emma, ​​and it was precisely because of this that she tolerated Emma following all the way, and turned a blind eye to her behaviors of grabbing attention. The little guy thought he was doing it very covertly, but she was still a child after all, how could this little trick escape Sophie's eyes, even though Adrian didn't completely pamper her, Sophie still felt a little uncomfortable.

"Think about the good. You see, no one recognizes us along the way." Adrian spread his hands with a smile, and then a blush flashed on Sophie's face. Many people along the way thought they were It is a family of three.

"Understood." Sophie replied lazily, but a strange light flashed in his eyes.

Adrian raised his eyebrows imperceptibly, and instead of continuing this topic, he talked about another thing: "Frankly speaking, Sophie, I am really the kind of man who has played with women before throwing them away ?"

That expression was extremely serious, and Sophie was stunned for a long while, but she quickly came to her senses and glared at him angrily: "At least in the novel, you are"

Adrian burst out laughing at the cute and sultry appearance. Although Sophie's life trajectory has changed a lot because of his intervention, the semi-autobiographical novel "The Lying Woman" "was published at the beginning of last year—a few months later than the previous life—but the content has undergone some changes.

Although Adrian hadn't read it in his previous life, he had heard the general content, but in the current book, the reason why the female protagonist went to the United States to develop was that he was invited by an American director, and was quickly accepted by the director. What was captured was the sweet and short date with the director, and soon the other party had a new love and ignored the female protagonist, who was frustrated and returned to France despite playing a few good roles.

Although the director is said to be older in the book, it has always highlighted his mysterious sense of attraction to women. Others may not know who it is after reading it. Does Adrian know who the prototype is?

"Okay, Ed, you know this is a novel and not a real autobiography, so it's normal to be a little exaggerated and dramatic." Sophie's eyes were crooked, and she seemed very proud, "Am I the kind of person in the novel? Do you like women who lie?"

"Who knows?" Adrian sighed leisurely.

"Ed" Sophie, who was still smiling just now, immediately shouted with brows erect.

"But I have to admit that you are very good at writing, my dear." Adrian immediately changed his mouth, "In my opinion, you can also try to be a screenwriter while acting."

"Really?" Sophie, who regained her composure, asked in a light tone.

"Yes," Adrian, who knew what she was thinking, smiled softly, and then moved his buttocks to sit closer to her, "Actually, I think you can also try to direct some movies, this is not to deny your acting skills , Sophie, they can't see it but it doesn't mean I can't see it, I just hope you can show more abilities and let those people see what an outstanding woman you are."

This is not a lie. Although Sophie's writing style is not particularly good, the delicate sense of nvxìng is still very good. She also directed a short film in her previous life, but she finally gave up because no one supported her. Adrian intends to let her try more, if she can really develop as a director, then she will be tied more firmly, and he has also prepared a plan, if it goes well in a few months...

"You always like to say these sweet words." Sophie, who was leaning in his arms, said, then raised her head and stared at Adrian.

Those bright brown eyes looked so melancholy, which made people feel sorry for them, Adrian sighed softly in his heart, holding her face and leaned over to kiss the pair of wet chún petals. Under the big tree and on the carpet, the lovers leaned together and kissed each other slowly, as if they wanted to taste the sweetness every time they touched each other. The breeze blowing gently made everything look like a painting. Still life of beautiful Taobao women's clothing Tmall Taobao mall Taobao women's winter clothing coat m.

It's a pity that làng's romantic and daydream scene was broken before it lasted too long.

"Ed, I caught a butterfly, I caught it with my bare hands." The little girl's voice came from a distance, as if asking for credit and reminding her.

Adrian had to roll his eyes away from Sophie's chún: "Oh, hell, I'm starting to regret taking her out for the first time"

Sophie burst out laughing immediately, although her eyes were saying the word "serve it", but her mouth was still relieved: "Okay, this is enough."

"Enough? How is it possible?" Adrian replied dissatisfied, "If she is no longer here, I can taste the taste of nature again. I have never tried it since that time in the villa's huā garden. "

"Sex ghost" Sophie immediately spat at him with a blushing face, but then subconsciously added: "I'll make it up tonight..."

He closed his mouth before he finished speaking, but it was a pity that the words had already entered Adrian's ears.

"Then it's settled." He laughed and got up and ran to Emma who was still yelling.

A few days later, after sending Sophie back to Paris, Adrian also embarked on the journey back to Los Angeles. He actually wanted to take Sophie with him, but she was still a little uncomfortable with Hollywood and reluctant to part with Paris, so After trying a few words, he dismissed the idea. Of course, this is only temporary, and Adrian believes that she will soon be convinced that it is best for women who are not compatible to meet each other, but they must live nearby.

But he didn't go back to the United States alone. Emma, ​​a weird elf girl, was also with her. She was coquettish and pitiful, and she was only in elementary school. It was very easy, and Adrian, who had a headache, had to compromise again.
