MAJESTIC THEATER BACKSTAGE, PRIVATE LOUNGE

"Steven, this is Sherlock Holmes." In the lounge, Erica said while skillfully removing her stage makeup.

Judging from the title, it is really clear.

For these two British gentlemen, Erica has a dispensable attitude. After all, during the last trip to the UK, they didn't get along well with each other.

And following her voice, the mentioned Captain America and the British government obviously didn't get along well. One had a serious face, the other a calm expression, and the atmosphere was stagnant.

Steven Rogers said first, "As for the meeting with Erica, I think you should inform in advance instead of showing up rashly."

The long-handled black umbrella in Mycroft Holmes's hand was propped on the ground, making him look more and more slender. "Captain, I heard that your first meeting with Erica seemed very sudden."

Sherlock, who was watching the show, crossed his arms and shot back at both sides without thinking too much about it. "Actually, you are equal. You were both absent when she needed care most. Instead, you showed up one after another after you became famous."

The accuracy of the detective's remarks made it difficult for Captain America and the British government to refute, and they were silent for a moment.

At this time, Peter Parker was concentrating on complimenting Erica, "Rika, I think you deserve the Tony Award."

"It's very difficult, almost impossible," Erica responded.The Tony Awards have always favored new plays, and revival works have always been at a disadvantage in the selection process, not to mention that she was disqualified for nomination in the first year of her premiere of "Phantom of the Opera".

Erika put the Tony Awards behind her, turned to look at the three men who were related to her by blood, was about to speak, but was interrupted by the ringtone of the mobile phone, and the caller was Harry Osborn.

After Harry became an adult, he has gradually taken over the family business. In the past few days, he went to Europe to handle important affairs. After all official duties were over, he immediately returned to New York overnight.

"Li Ka, I'm outside the theater." Harry Osborn said to her on the phone while sitting in the senior executive car.

In the private lounge of the theater, Erica hesitated a little, "I'm afraid tonight—"

After she answered the call, the attention of the four men in the lounge inevitably focused on the call.

At this time, the person on the other side of the phone seemed to say something, Erica responded, "I can't do it next week, I'm going to France to attend the Cannes Film Festival."

The other party said something else, Erica had no choice but to reply helplessly and a little indulgently, "Okay, okay, I'm not tired, I have time to see you."

Erica ended the call with Harry, put the mobile phone into the leather bag, and then said to the men in front of her, "I have something to do tonight."

She put on her sunglasses and a wide-brimmed hat, stood up and walked towards the door of the lounge. She seemed to think of something in the middle, and said to Peter, "By the way, I should sleep out tonight."

In the lounge, Captain America and the British government watched Erika's back go away. The two faced each other and fell silent.

The feud between the two parties appears to have dissipated as they are now on the same side with shared concerns about 'trouble' events.

And Erica doesn't care about this, she is only busy developing her career and dating for fun.

After a few days of intimate dates with Harry Osborn, she took a flight to the south of France. As the opening film of the Cannes Film Festival, "Basic Instinct" officially ushered in its European premiere on May 5.

The Cannes Film Festival has always been the most famous and influential among the three major international film festivals in Europe. It adheres to the strategy of combining art and commerce, making it extremely successful in terms of commerciality and transaction volume. The reason why Cannes chose "Basic Instinct" as the opening film is that Undoubtedly, it is valued for its amazing commercial success in the North American film market.

As far as the crew of "Instinct" is concerned, the Cannes Film Festival is also the only choice among the three major European film festivals that is likely to win awards——

In the Venice Film Festival, which emphasizes 'avant-garde artistry', and the Berlin Film Festival, which values ​​​​politics, "Basic Instinct" can hardly even qualify for the main competition.

The opening red carpet in Cannes was full of stars, and when Erica Parker, starring in the film "Basic Instinct", which has attracted the most attention in the international film industry this year, stepped on the red carpet, the audience fell into the most intense atmosphere.

"Erica, don't go! Please!" Reporters from all over the world rushed to shout her name, trying to make her stay longer on the red carpet. Hundreds of cameras were fully focused on her, and the flashes flashed wave after wave. , Murder countless films.

She wore a rose-colored French satin dress, with blond hair and red lips, full breasts, slender waist, and perfect curves of chest, waist and hips, which was extremely glamorous.

"Erica Parker shines on the red carpet in Cannes, and "Instinct" has become the focus of the world's attention at the film festival, and it may be expected to hit the Palme d'Or." ——Le Monde, France

"Because the release of "Basic Instinct" in Germany will be delayed by two weeks, countless movie fans will go to nearby French cities to watch it. Erica Parker, terrible gravity." - German "Bild"

""Basic Instinct" set the highest box office of an R-rated film in British theaters in the first weekend, and the total box office in Europe is expected to surpass that in North America. Can Erica win the best actress in Cannes?" ——The Times of the United Kingdom

"I'm afraid it will be difficult." On May 5, at the closing ceremony and awards ceremony of the Cannes Film Festival, Erika sat in the audience seats, thinking about her possibility of winning today.

At the Cannes Film Festival, the French distributor of "Basic Instinct" is fully operating the Palme d'Or, the highest award in the main competition.

And because of the small jury system of the three major European film festivals, the ten judges have their own preferences, and the meaning of "dividing pork" is relatively clear, and usually guarantees that the shortlisted films will have their own gains, so important awards are rarely awarded to the same film. work.

In other words, if "Basic Instinct" wins the Palme d'Or for Best Picture, then the probability of being awarded again in the Best Director and Best Actor awards will be much reduced.

And there are so many competitors for Erica, the three major European companies did not specifically nominate the best actor award - at this year's Cannes Film Festival, among the 21 films that qualified for the main competition, the participants were automatically shortlisted for the best actor, Actress awards are not even divided into leading and supporting roles.

In other words, there are as many as dozens of actors competing for the best actress award with Erica.

And this is the first time she has been shortlisted for a European film festival, not to mention there are any friendship tickets at all, and the Cannes Film Festival has always favored 'old friends'.

On the stage of the banquet hall, the Best Actor award is being presented, and American actor Tim Robbins won the Best Actor award with "The Big Gamer".

Ralph Fiennes didn't look depressed at all, he was still full of British gentlemanly demeanor, and he comforted Erika gently, whispering in her ear, "Don't be anxious, at least now your chances of winning the prize are higher." Improved."

"Basic Instinct" was widely acclaimed at the Cannes Film Festival. Although it may be slightly inferior to a few European films in terms of artistry, it is undoubtedly difficult to catch up with many films in terms of business.

Judging from the current momentum, "Instinct" has a high probability of winning the most important awards at the Cannes Film Festival-the Palme d'Or, the Special Jury Award, the Best Director Award, and the Best Actor and Actress Award.

And now that Fiennes has lost the election, Erica's chances of being rewarded have naturally been improved.

On the awards stage, the chairman of the jury took the stage with an envelope in hand, and was about to present the best actress award, "This year's Cannes Film Festival has achieved an astonishing volume of film sales, and its influence and achievements have attracted much attention—"

Erica moved her finger a little, not sure if the chairman of the jury was implying something when he talked about commerciality at this moment. "Instinct" is undoubtedly the most commercially valuable film at this year's Cannes Film Festival, even more than the other shortlisted films combined. The box office obtained must be high.

"No.40 Best Actress at the [-]th Cannes Film Festival will go to—" The chairman of the jury on the awards stage opened the letter after a dramatic pause, "Erica Parker, "Basic Instinct."

In an instant, the awards ceremony fell into thunderous applause and cheers, and Erica's heart skipped a beat. This is her first leading film award!

The ceremonies and music have already been played, Erica walked onto the stage amidst the congratulations of the creators of "Basic Instinct", she was full of aura, and her extraordinary charm was like a superstar in the golden age of Hollywood.

Receiving the Palme d'Or crystal cup from the chairman of the jury, Erica approached the microphone with an upbeat look and voice, "I can't believe that I can stand here at this moment. Thank you to the jury for giving me such a great honor."

"Thank you to director Verhoeven for inviting me to be in "Basic Instinct".

Erica's voice was firm and moving, without any sensational tears, but with sincere emotion, "Thank you to all my family and friends. You appear in every moment of my life and make everything more perfect."

Her speech was also without delay, Erica held up the trophy and said the final thanks, "Thank you, thank you again, I can't help but say this. Please continue to believe in the big dreams you have, and do everything in your power to achieve it .”

When Erica stood on the stage to give her acceptance speech, the gentlemen who watched No.40's [-]th Cannes Film Festival Awards Ceremony at the same time, using various channels, were thinking at the moment——

Peter Parker: I knew Lika would win!And this is just the beginning!

Harry Osborne: Sooner or later, Erica will mention my name in her acceptance speech, and the prefix will be 'my favorite'.

Captain America: Lika said that 'the presence of family in every moment of her life makes everything better', which is really touching.

British Government: All family members, including me.

Consulting Detective: And Me?
