Chapter 624 Happy for only two minutes

The mediocre reputation cannot stop the crew of "When Happiness Comes Knocks" from continuing to hit awards, but after several screenings in Cannes, Ronan made a judgment based on the audience's reputation that the overseas box office of this film is definitely not as good as the North American box office.

After all, this bowl of chicken soup is cooked according to the tastes of American audiences, but it is normal for Europeans to have different tastes.

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 do this bowl of chicken soup together.

Of course, Relativity Entertainment only cooks and sells chicken soup. As for whether it is poisonous, the audience needs to taste it themselves.

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 for Fahrenheit 911.

The documentary was successfully premiered in Cannes, causing a huge sensation, and even the whole of Europe was in an uproar because the content was so exciting.

Moreover, Quentin Tarantino, the gangster director, did not care about his identity as the chairman of the jury, and seized all kinds of opportunities to praise the film "Fahrenheit 911".

At the jury's regular press conference, Quentin even used four or five "fxxking" to enhance his tone in order to promote "Fahrenheit 911".

When a foreign journalist said that some parts of the film were even worse than TV pictures, Quentin was very angry and said loudly: "I know you only like beautiful pictures. You are only interested in this. OK, I will answer your question. The movie is not just beautiful pictures. Have you seen photos of American soldiers abused Iraqi prisoners of war on TV? It is not beautiful, but it is very powerful. After seeing it, I sadly turned my head away..."

When the reporter was about to continue talking, Quentin said like a child: "I don't want to listen to you."

Then he angrily took off the headphones used for the translator and threw them on the table, not listening to the reporter's speech.

The French are notoriously incompatible with the United States. Faced with Quentin's extraordinary performance, the Cannes Film Festival board of directors was surprisingly silent.

A discerning person quickly realized that the Palme d'Or has already belonged in advance.

Film awards are only related to art, but not politics. Such words can only coax a three-year-old child.

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 worthy of being the largest leftist concentration in the United States.

Taking advantage of the fact that the Cannes Film Festival was still some time before the end of the Cannes Film Festival, Ronan specially went to Berlin and met Tony Koch, discussing the next stage of cooperation between Koch Pictures and the Pacific Investment Foundation, and also paying attention to the completed "Epitup Storm".

This film has participated in the German Film Awards, won multiple heavyweight awards including Best Screenplay, Best Feature Film, Best Photography, Best Supporting Actor, Best Leading Actor and Best Director.

The German Film Award is the most authoritative and substantial film award in Germany.

Next, "Eavesdropping Storm" will 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 head straight to the awards season, targeting the Best Foreign Language Film of the Oscars.

Of course, this video 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 before returning to Cannes, returned to the hotel he checked in, and when he was about to go upstairs, he unexpectedly met an acquaintance.

Nicole Kidman happened to come out of the elevator. After seeing Ronan, he came over and said hello, "Hello, Ronan, I didn't expect to see you in Cannes."

Ronan looked at Nicole Kidman's brown and ear-length short hair curiously and responded politely: "I'm happy to see you, Nicole."

Perhaps because he noticed Ronan's gaze, Nicole Kidman gently stroked the short hair above his ear and said, "I took a movie some time ago and asked for short hair."

Ronan smiled: "It's very unique."

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

Because of Tom Cruise's relationship, they were quite familiar with each other, but they were not friends. After saying hello, Ronan was about to go upstairs. Nicole Kidman thought of something and whispered: "Can you talk a few times?"

Ronan glanced at her curiously, but in the end he did not refuse, saying, "Of course."

Nicole Kidman left the elevator first and walked towards the hotel lobby rest area. Ronan signaled Connie next to him and followed.

There were not many people at the rest area, so Nicole Kidman chose the corner location, waited for Ronan to sit down, asked for his opinion, and ordered two cups of black tea.

Nicole Kidman seemed to be thinking about things and didn't speak for a while.

Ronan asked, “When did you come to Cannes?”

"Just arrived today." Nicole Kidman smiled: "The Rebirth, which I starred in, will be screened in Cannes. There are several publicity activities. The organizing committee invited me to attend the award ceremony on the weekend."

Ronan had never heard of the film "Rebirth", so he didn't want to say much, so he simply asked, "Nicole, are you asking me for something?"

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

"Apology?" Ronan was confused.

"Apologize for my irrational behavior after that Oscar." Nicole Kidman briefly explained: "I really messed up because of the divorce that time and said a lot of things I shouldn't have said."

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

"It's okay." Ronan said generously in view of Nicole Kidman's very serious expression and beautiful face: "I've forgotten that little thing long ago."

He really didn't take that little thing to heart.

Nicole Kidman hurriedly said, "Thank you." She sighed and said, "The main thing between me and Tom has seriously affected my mentality. Until now, I don't know how to deal with this relationship."

Ronan has never been married, let alone divorce or ex-wife. It would be useless to say this to him.

But he immediately thought that Nicole Kidman could not suddenly express such feelings to him.

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

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

Nicole Kidman, who has recovered from soberness, is always a smart woman.

Ronan thought of the bad things between Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise in the future, and said a few more words: "Nicole, I suggest that your relationship with Tom normalize. As an outsider, I can't tell who is right and who is wrong, but when you were still a couple, I knew you. Can you say a few words?"

Nicole Kidman nodded slightly: "Tell me."

"Even if you can't be friends with Tom, there is no need to be enemies." Ronan couldn't tell whether there was a secret statement from Nicole Kidman among the people who once blackened Tom Cruise: "Put it calmly and get along with peace of mind, isn't it good for you and Tom?"

Nicole Kidman obviously thought about it carefully, 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 cannot solve it."

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

Ronan looked at his watch and said, "You're welcome." This time he met, 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."

Luo Nan stood up: "I won't disturb you, I will contact you again."

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

When Ronan took Connie away, Nicole Kidman suddenly had the urge to call him, but forced himself to endure it because some things were too impatient and could not achieve good results.

Luo Nan walked towards the elevator. If he could help his friends avoid the trouble from his ex-wife in the future, it would be better than before.

Connie followed Ronan's back, looked at no one around, and whispered: "Shahai Entertainment sent a letter to Caa in "Mr. Smiths" to seek a suitable heroine. Caa has revealed that Nicole Kidman is interested in competing for this role."

Ronan's good mood instantly dissipated. He turned his head to look at Connie and said, "You can't make me happy for a while?"

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

He has been an assistant for Ronan for several years. Of course Connie knows Ronan's personality. The former is actually nothing, while the latter may be very serious.

Ronan sighed: "It seems that I still think it's easier."

The Cannes Film Festival is coming to an end. None of the movies released later have snatched away the limelight of "Fathan 911". Since the premiere of "Fathan 911", this Cannes Film Festival seems to have only one voice left - support for "Warner 911" and criticism from the US authorities!

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

When Quentin awarded the Palme darlings to Michael Moore caused speculation from many parties, but I remained unmoved regardless of the outside world.

At this Cannes Film Festival, Quentin Tarantino fully interprets how much power a jury chairman has.

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

Other awards have become veritable cakes. "Old Boy" won the jury award, Maggie Zhang won the Best Actress, and Tony Griff won the Best Director.
