Chapter 624： Happy but 2 minutes

The mediocre reputation does not stop the crew of "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" from continuing to hit the award, but after a few screenings in Cannes, Ronan judged based on the audience's reputation that the overseas box office of this film is definitely not as good as North America. box office.

After all, this bowl of chicken soup is made according to the tastes of American audiences, but European tastes are not normal.

When I return to North America at the end of the year, I must tell the American audience through publicity: Come on, come on, let's make this bowl of chicken soup together.

Of course, Relativity Entertainment only makes and sells chicken soup. As for whether there is poison, it is up to the audience to taste it.

Michael Moore’s premiere invitation letter was sent to Connie, but Connie found an excuse for Ronan to go to Germany and turned down the premiere invitation of "Fahrenheit 911."

This documentary successfully premiered in Cannes and caused a huge sensation, and even the whole of Europe was in an uproar, because the content is too exciting.

And Quentin Tarantino, the scoundrel director, did not hesitate to be the chairman of the jury, and almost seized every opportunity to praise the film "Fahrenheit 911."

In the regular press conference of the jury, Quentin even used four or five "FXXKING" to enhance his tone in order to promote "Fahrenheit 911".

When a foreign reporter said that some parts of the film were not even as good as the TV screens, Quentin was very angry. He said loudly, "I know you only like beautiful pictures. You are only interested in this. Okay, I will answer you this. The question is, the movie is not just a beautiful picture. Have you seen the picture of the American soldiers abusing Iraqi prisoners of war on TV? It is not beautiful, but it is very powerful. After seeing it, I sadly put my head away..."

When the reporter wanted to continue, Quentin said like a child: "I don't want to listen to what you say."

Then angrily took off the earphones used by the interpreter, and slammed it on the table, not listening to the reporter.

The French are notoriously not dealing with the United States. In the face of Quentin's extraordinary performance, the Cannes Film Festival board of directors unexpectedly remained silent.

The discerning person quickly understood that Palme d'Or had already belonged in advance.

Film awards are only related to art, not politics. Such remarks can only coax three-year-olds.

Even Tilda Swinton, who had a serious conflict with Quentin Tarantino at the opening ceremony of the film festival, publicly supported Quentin Tarantino's views.

Hollywood is indeed the largest concentration of leftists in the United States.

Taking advantage of the time before the end of the Cannes Film Festival, Ronan made a special trip to Berlin, met with Tony Koch, and discussed the next phase of cooperation between Koch Pictures and the Pacific Investment Fund. I paid attention to the completed "Eavesdropping Storm".

This film has participated in the German Film Awards, and won many heavyweight awards such as best screenplay, best feature film, best photography, best supporting actor, best actor and best director.

The German Film Awards is the most authoritative and significant film award in Germany.

Next, "Eavesdropping Storm" will also participate in awards such as the Berlin Film Festival and the European Film Festival. After receiving enough honors from Europe, it will land in the United States at the end of the year and go straight to the awards season, targeting the Oscar for best foreign language film.

Of course, this film will not be released in Europe for the time being, and everything will be discussed after the North American awards season.

Ronan stayed in Berlin for a day, then returned to Cannes and returned to the hotel where he was staying. When he was about to go upstairs, he unexpectedly met an acquaintance.

Nicole Kidman just came out of the elevator. After seeing Ronan, he unexpectedly walked over to say hello: "Hello, Ronan, I didn't expect to see you in Cannes."

Ronan looked curiously at Nicole Kidman's short brown hair and responded politely: "It's nice to meet you, Nicole."

Presumably noticing Ronan's gaze, Nicole Kidman gently stroked the short hair above her ear and said, "I took a film some time ago and asked for short hair."

Ronan smiled: "Very unique."

To be honest, this is the first time he has seen Nicole Kidman with short hair.

Because of Tom Cruise's relationship, the two are quite familiar, but not friends. After saying hello, Ronan was about to go upstairs, Nicole Kidman thought of something, but whispered: "Yes Have a few words?"

Ronan glanced at her curiously, and finally did not refuse, saying, "Of course."

Nicole Kidman took the lead to leave the elevator and walked towards the rest area of ​​the hotel lobby. Ronan motioned to Connie next to him, and then followed.

There were not many people in the rest area. Nicole Kidman deliberately chose a corner position. When Ronan sat down, he asked for his opinion and ordered two cups of black tea.

Nicole Kidman seemed to be thinking about something, and did not speak for a while.

Ronan asked, "When did you come to Cannes?"

"Just arrived today." Nicole Kidman smiled: "My starring "Rebirth" will be screened in Cannes. There are several publicity activities. The organizing committee invited me to attend the awards ceremony on the weekend.

Ronan had never heard of the film "Rebirth", and he didn't have much to say, so he simply asked: "Nicole, are you looking for me?"

Nicole Kidman slowly nodded, looked directly at Ronan, and said, "I want to apologize to you."

"Apologize?" Ronan didn't know why.

"Apologize for my irrational behavior after the Oscar." Nicole Kidman explained briefly: "I really got confused because of the divorce and said a lot of things I shouldn't say."

She was very sincere: "I'm sorry, Ronan."

"It doesn't matter." Ronan looked at Nicole Kidman's very serious expression and beautiful face, and said very generously: "I have forgotten that little thing."

He really didn't take that matter to heart.

Nicole Kidman quickly said, "Thank you." She sighed, meaning: "It's mainly the matter between Tom and me, which seriously affected my mentality. Up to now, I don't know what to do. This relationship."

Ronan has never been married, let alone divorced or ex-wife, this is nothing to say to him.

But he immediately thought that it was impossible for Nicole Kidman to suddenly express this emotion to himself.

Sure enough, Nicole Kidman said again: "Ronan, the time I have known you is as long as the time you have known Tom. I hope that my relationship with Tom will not affect our relationship."

Hearing this, Ronan looked at Nicole Kidman again. In her beautiful eyes, he seemed to see a banner called "Gold Producer".

Nicole Kidman, who is regaining consciousness, is always a smart woman.

Ronan thought about the bad things between Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise in the future, and it was much harder to say a few words: "Nicole, I suggest that your relationship with Tom be normalized. As an outsider, I can’t tell who is right and who is wrong, but I knew you when you were still a husband and wife. Can you say a few words?"

Nicole Kidman nodded slightly: "You can tell."

"Even if you and Tom can't be friends, there is no need to be enemies." Ronan also didn't know if there was a copy of Nicole Kidman secretly among those who used to black Tom Cruise. It’s good for you and Tom, right?"

Nicole Kidman was obviously thinking about it, and after a while, he said: "I will try to do it, but I may not be able to do it."

Ronan said calmly: "There is nothing, time can't solve it."

Nicole Kidman smiled reluctantly: "Thank you for your suggestion."

Ronan looked at his watch: "You're welcome." This time he saw Nicole Kidman, his impression of Nicole Kidman improved significantly: "Nicole, I hope the future will be better."

Nicole Kidman smiled and said, "It will definitely be better."

Ronan stood up: "I won't bother, and I will contact you later."

Nicole Kidman shook hands with Ronan: "Goodbye, Ronan."

When Ronan left with Connie, Nicole Kidman suddenly had the urge to shout at him, but forcibly endured it, because some things were too impatient, which could not achieve good results.

Ronan walked towards the elevator, if in the future he could make his friends less trouble from his ex-wife, it would be better than ever.

Connie followed Ronan's side, looked at no one around, and reminded in a low voice: "Shahai Entertainment sent a letter to CAA seeking a suitable heroine about "Smiths". Someone in CAA revealed that Nicole Kidman Interested in competing for this role."

Ronan's good mood dissipated in an instant, turned his head and looked at Connie, and said, "Can't you make me happy for a while?"

Connie smiled embarrassedly and said: "If I don't remind me the first time, I will be negligent."

Having served as an assistant for Ronan for several years, Connie certainly knows Ronan's character. The former is actually nothing, while the latter may be very serious.

Ronan sighed: "It seems I want to make it simple."

The Cannes Film Festival is coming to an end, and none of the films released later have robbed half of the limelight of "Fahrenheit 911" Since the premiere of "Fahrenheit 911", this year's Cannes Film Festival seems to be only left One voice-support for "Warner 911" and attack by the US authorities!

This momentum continued to the closing ceremony and awards ceremony of the Cannes Film Festival. With the strong support of Quentin Tarantino, Michael Moore's "Fahrenheit 911" won the heaviest Palme d'Or award without any suspense. !

When Quentin presented the Palme d'Or, the whispers to Michael Moore aroused many speculations, but the director of the ruffian, regardless of the situation in the outside world, I remained unmoved.

At this Cannes Film Festival, Quentin Tarantino fully explained the power of a jury chairman.

As for film art, it must be ranked behind power and politics.

Other awards have become veritable sub-cakes. "Old Boy" won the jury award, Maggie Chang won the best actress, and Tony Griff won the best director.

"When Happiness Knocks on the Door" also won. While passing the jury award, Will Smith won the best actor award.
