American fame and fortune

Oscar's tragic incidents have proven that when the enemy stabs you with a knife, it is useless to jump out and argue that the other party is wrong.

It will get darker and darker and become the most injured one.

The best way is to get a bigger and sharper knife, stab it back harder, and stab the vital point directly, leaving the opponent unable to fight back.

Martin understands Harvey Weinstein's style and has already made plans and psychological preparations.

Through the French luxury brand Cartier, he contacted Le Figaro, the most influential local newspaper. The latter's columnist angrily denounced "Inglourious Basterds" as pure nonsense and made wanton jokes about France's painful history of being invaded. Respect France.

Hollywood’s World War II movies and dramas have always been rich in “magic films and dramas.”

The number of Germans who died on various Hollywood studios was no less than the number of Japanese who died in Hengdian.

If we really use unified standards, "Inglourious Basterds" can be regarded as an anti-German film, and the climax at the end is much more exaggerated than "The Devil's Hands".

But these were merely used to draw Harvey's attention away from the knife that was actually stabbing him quietly.

The knife Martin prepared is called Woman's Hate!

A deep hatred that lasted for thirty years.

On the outskirts of Cannes, far away from the Palais des Festivals, in a very ordinary roadside coffee shop.

Pierre, the entertainment editor of Le Figaro, is waiting for the person he wants to meet today.

One male and one female.

Melanie and Bruce.

Pierre's wife, who works in the marketing planning department of Cartier's men's watches, facilitated the meeting.

Melanie smiled and said: "Old friend, we meet again."

Pierrepi smiled but said: "I would rather never have seen you."

Melanie seemed not to hear it and said directly: "There will be another piece of news tomorrow about Harvey Weinstein admiring Isabelle Adjani very much."

Pierre shook his head: "I'm a journalist. I can't write anything without accurate information. This is professional ethics."

He specifically mentioned today's report: "I promise you that news, because "Inglourious Basterds" is indeed nonsense. The arrogant Americans wantonly changed the glorious struggle we fought against in World War II!"

Melanie didn't waste any time, took out an envelope and pushed it to Pierre.

Bruce also took out an envelope and placed it in front of Pierre.

Pierre opened the first envelope, glanced inside, and felt the thickness. He felt that it didn't matter whether there was definite information or not. After all, it could be written in an ambiguous way.

He focused on the second envelope again.

Bruce made a gesture of invitation.

Pierre opened the envelope and found a dozen photos inside, all of them photos of Harvey Weinstein and Isabelle Adjani.

In some of them, the two appear to be having an intimate conversation.

Pierre has been in the industry for more than 20 years and knows that what he sees may not be real. The photos may be real, or they may be taken at a deliberately chosen angle.

Melanie said: "Isn't this enough to prove the authenticity of the news?"

Pierre put away the first envelope, then the second, and said: "Very true news."

When the words came out, he realized that it was too early and couldn't help but slap his head: "What happened between them?"

Melanie said seriously: "Harvey Weinstein admires Adjani very much and plans to invite her to Hollywood to play an important role in an art film and help her compete for an Oscar."

Pierre nodded: "I understand."

Melanie said: "Will you see the newspaper tomorrow?"

Pierre responded: "No problem."

Melanie and Bruce leave quickly.

Pierre did not leave, but added another cup of coffee, took out a pen and notebook, and was moved by seeing the photo for the first time, so he wrote an emotional press release.

Then he returned to the temporary office and immediately sent a fax to the newspaper office.

Early the next morning, news about Harvey Weinstein and Isabelle Adjani appeared prominently in the entertainment section of Le Figaro.

…………

Palais des Festivals, Jury Office.

Huppert was sitting at his desk, considering the list of various awards in the competition unit.

Aisha Argento, who had been spending a lot of time with her recently, was looking through today's newspapers in boredom, looking for media reports on the films in the competition.

Huppert sketched on a piece of paper, and there was only one choice for the Palme d'Or in her eyes - "White Ribbon".

For Best Actor, both Martin Davis and Christoph Waltz were outstanding in their roles.

However, the reports published by the media in the past few days have affected Huppert to some extent. The role played by Martin involved too many special effects.

As a traditional European filmmaker, Huppert was quite disgusted with Hollywood's special effects. To a certain extent, she admired Waltz's performance more.

Choose Waltz?

The thought just came to her, and she thought of Mene who had been eating late-night snacks in recent days, and suddenly felt that Martin was not as bad as reported in the media.

Huppert was a little embarrassed for a moment, and the tip of his pen clicked back and forth between the two names on the paper.

If it really doesn’t work, choose two people for Best Actor? Double-yolk eggs are not new.

At the film festival a few years ago, when the Hong Kong director Sunglasses King was the chairman of the jury, five male actors were elected Best Actor and six actresses were elected Best Actress.

There was a sudden knock on the door, and Aisha Argento took the initiative to open the door.

Huppert's assistant came in with a copy of Le Figaro, placed it on the desk, and glanced at Elsa.

"It's okay, just tell me." Huppert nodded.

The assistant turned to the entertainment section of the newspaper: "Madam, you asked me to pay attention to Adjani's latest news."

The task at hand was obviously not as important as the enemy. Huppert put down his pen, picked up the newspaper and read it.

The first thing she saw were three photos, in which Harvey Weinstein was talking to Adjani, and they seemed to be having a very pleasant conversation.

Huppert's face looked a little ugly.

Below the photo, there are news headlines.

"Hollywood independent producer Harvey Weinstein invites Isabelle Adjani to be the heroine of his next film!"

This made Huppert's face even more ugly.

"This newspaper has received exclusive news that Harvey Weinstein, the investor and producer of "Inglourious Basterds", has met with Isabelle Adjani, who stayed in the same hotel, several times to discuss future cooperation. The former believes that Adjani is still He has the ability to win the Oscar acting award..."

Huppert subconsciously touched the top of his head. There was a small scar under his hair, which was Adjani's masterpiece thirty years ago.

Dead enemies for thirty years!

Huppert had a hard time suppressing Adjani. In the past five years, the French have even believed that there is only one Isabelle in the French film industry.

She raised her head and asked seemingly casually: "Elsa, who do you think is more suitable for Best Actor?"

Aisha Argento did not make any considerations and said: "If I had to choose, I would choose Martin Davis. Harvey Weinstein is a person who doesn't know how to respect female actors at all."

Huppert nodded. When it came to Adjani, her heart was smaller than the eye of a needle: "Martin is indeed good."

The assistant knew that "Inglourious Basterds" was going to be out as soon as he saw the relevant news.

"Now all the films in the competition have been released, and the closing ceremony is just a few days away." Huppert said to his assistant: "Notify other judges that an awards evaluation meeting will be held in the afternoon, and everyone must participate."

The assistant is ready to go out and deliver the notice.

Huppert added: "Any news from Harvey Weinstein will be directed to you. No need to notify me, no need to tell me, I have no interest in them at all!"

"Yes, ma'am." The assistant could see that Huppert was very angry because of Adjani.

Aisha Argento thought of Harvey, the fat man who broke his promise, and added to the fire: "Inglourious Basterds made fun of France's history of aggression and should not win any awards!"

Huppert didn't answer, but felt that Elsa's words were very reasonable.

As for the fact that ten minutes ago, she was still considering the sharing of Best Actor between Waltz and Martin, now the story has changed.

The film "Inglourious Basterds" automatically disappeared from Huppert's eyes.

Just after noon, the jury held a closed internal meeting.

Huppert, the current chairman, presided over the meeting.

As the closing of the film festival is getting closer, it is necessary to unify the opinions of the jury on the selection of some awards.

Huppert said: "In the last meeting, regarding the best actor, our common view was that Martin and Waltz were the best. All the films in competition have been released, and the other actors are obviously worse. I think it is time to determine the best actor. The actors have been chosen.”

Rabindranath Tagore from India was the first to jump out: "I think Waltz is the most suitable."

As soon as he finished speaking, Hanif, the screenwriter opposite, refuted: "Martin's role is more difficult and his performance is better!"

The two stared at each other angrily!

They don't care who is who. If you agree with it, I will oppose it.

Shu Qi raised her hand: "I think Martin Davis is suitable."

Li Cangdong followed up: "Obviously Martin Davis is better."

Tagore saw these people telling lies with their eyes open, and he was so angry that he didn't want to speak anymore.

Aisha Argento said: “I choose Martin Davis!

James Gray smiled: "Martin!"

"Ahem..." John Travolta coughed, attracting everyone's attention.

Everyone here who knows Hollywood knows that he has a close relationship with Harvey Weinstein and Quentin, so they thought he was going to refute it.

Every time the jury evaluates the awards, there will be a quarrel internally.

The atmosphere was particularly harmonious during the period when the director from Hong Kong City was the chairman.

Travolta smiled and said directly: "Obviously, Martin's performance is better."

Counting Huppert, there are nine people on the jury, and six have already expressed support for Martin.

Unless the jury president vetoes it.

Huppert did not let people wait and directly stated: "I support Martin Davis!"

Ceylan, the only Turkish director who had not expressed his stance, saw that the direction of the wind had decided and said: "I also support Martin!"

Eight people supported it and one person opposed it. It can be said that there is no dispute about the Best Actor award.

The meeting is formally recorded and a resolution is formed.

The results for Best Actor are sealed and will not be discussed again.
