What kind of bad thoughts can the director have?

Chapter 336 What Does This Mean?
It's a pity that Yang Shu's wish came to nothing. He couldn't stand side by side with the captain during the peeing time, and lost a good opportunity to exchange cultures between the East and the West.

However, with his English, even if the water is released together, the communication can only stay at the level of "Hello, oh yeah". If you say "big bird", the captain may not understand.

Before coming here, Ning Song asked him: "Boss, if our "Peach" wins an award and we have to have an acceptance speech, shouldn't we ask someone to write a small English composition and memorize it?"

"why?"

"English is common in the world."

This is a typical scumbag thinking, and the acceptance speech is all about fooling around.

Yang Shu refused: "I will use Chinese."

"Does it fit?"

"Why is it inappropriate? Don't worry, no one really cares what I say. When Director Zhang and Director Chen won the Palme d'Or, it was a huge sensation in the country. Has the acceptance speech been handed down?"

"I don't know, I haven't heard of it, it seems that I am superficial."

Yang Shu has seen some videos of some domestic filmmakers speaking at European film festivals, some of them have won awards, and some of them presented awards as guests. A considerable number of them spoke in pidgin English with difficulty, and with unnatural expressions, it made people watch Awkward.

This is actually a bit difficult to understand. In European countries such as Germany, Italy and France, why do you speak English?
It's like when someone speaks at the China Metropolis International Film Festival, what do you mean by speaking Korean and Japanese to me?
The point is that as a fashionable cultural person, don’t you really know that the French, Italians, and Germans actually look down on English?

Of course, the French, the British and the Italians also look down on German, and dislike of each other is the true face of the world.

The so-called English is the common language of the world. It may be more appropriate to change it to the language that is best used by immigrants to North America. It doesn’t matter how common the English-speaking population is.

Soon the facts also proved this point. In such an international occasion, there is no need to pander to it. Everyone can understand that people from all over the world say their own things and don't care.

At 45:70 on time, the chairman of the jury this year, Alfonso Cuarón from Mexico, announced the successful start of the No.[-] [-]nd Venice International Film Festival Awards Ceremony and Closing Ceremony.

The applause lasted like a tide for nearly 1 minute, the film festival is allowed to cheer, Yang Shu even heard the whistle.

Alfonso Cuarón is a director Yang Shu likes. He has a rich imagination. He wrote and directed "Son of Men" and "Gravity", both of which are classics of science fiction films. He also directed "Haha Leigh Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban".

Standing on the stage and waiting for the applause to subside for 1 minute, it can be seen that he is suffering and cramped.

People in the film and television industry are also ordinary people, in fact, they are not able to deal with such occasions calmly.

Especially those who specialize in film and television performances, it is difficult to compare with those who do stage performances. Many people are even more introverted, and they are often at a loss when facing people other than the film crew.

For these people, acting is really just a job. It is no problem to complete the prescribed performance in a specific environment. Once it exceeds the scope, it will be socially scary.

Many stars who have worked with Yang Shu are like this. For example, Hu Ge will be nervous when performing in front of unfamiliar people, so he usually joins the crew very early and gets to know everyone first.

The more extreme one is Duan Hongyi. Although he studied acting in Chinese opera and has experience in stage performances in the National Theater, he suffers from severe social fear. He can't even speak when there are too many strangers. He is visibly nervous and famous. Ten years later, it is still difficult to overcome low self-esteem and depression.

This year's Venice Film Festival has nine judges as in the past, and selected accomplished filmmakers from all over the world. Alfonso Cuarón is the chairman of the judges, and there are eight other judges, except for the number one beauty in Europe who lined up in the toilet just now. Diane Kruger, Hollywood actress Elizabeth Banks, Taiwanese director Hou Hsiao-hsien, directors and actors from France, Spain and the United Kingdom.

Enough applause. First, the Lifetime Achievement Award was awarded to an old French director who has made many art films in his life and is quite famous in Europe.

Unlike the gags and performances at the Oscars, the Venice Film Festival is very compact. Once the awards start, there is basically no extra nonsense. In addition to the screenings of the works, trophies and trophies are distributed. It is expected to end in an hour and a half.

Because there is a closing film after the award ceremony, this year it is "Old Cannon".

Then came the Director Honorable Mention, awarded to American director Brian De Palma of "Scarface," "Mission: Impossible," and "Mission to Mars."

This award and the Lifetime Achievement Award are both regular awards, not included in the main competition unit. They reward directors and actors all over the world who have made outstanding contributions to the film industry. There is no age at seven or eighty that cannot receive this award.

Next is the Future Lion Award, also known as the Little Golden Lion, which can be regarded as the director's debut award.

The applause came one after another, and different judges came up in turn to announce the shortlisted films, and then presented awards with the guests.

The guests also came from all over the world, and they spoke all kinds of languages ​​with the judges. Fortunately, which movie won the award, the clips were shown on the screen immediately, and everyone could understand the meaning by looking at the pictures.

There are many units in the Venice Film Festival. In addition to the main competition unit, there is also a horizon unit, etc., and awards will be awarded one by one.

I couldn't understand the language, and there were foreigners who were dangling in front of me. Because I came late, I hadn't seen any of the films shown. Jiang Shiyu soon got tired of applauding, and complained to Yang Shu: "I knew there were so many dramas ahead. I just walked outside for an hour before coming in, and I saw a shop selling souvenirs."

"Then let's go take a pee and find a place to hang out?"

This is of course a joke, but while everyone is presenting the awards with great interest, and going to do something interesting with Jiang Shiyu, it will be memorable for a lifetime.

Jiang Shiyu thought his words were ugly, so he curled his lips and ignored him.

Because I couldn't understand the language and didn't know the next process, the lights dimmed a little at this time, and the highlights of the movie began to play.

Hollywood's "Beasts of No Nation" was the first choice, in which a black African boy played in his true colors and told the story of a small local mercenary.

This film is well shot. The director once directed "007 No Time to Die". The young actor's performance is natural and sincere, showing the psychological changes of children in the war in a very layered way. The show magazine has always said that he is the best newcomer of this year Biggest hit.

It seems that it has entered the main competition unit, Yang Shu reminded Jiang Shiyu: "The awards ceremony is halfway through, let's see if we can still get nominated."

Next there are eight awards, in addition to the best newcomer, there are also the best screenwriter, director, heroine and heroine, etc., and finally the Golden Lion Award for the best film.

In the film industry, being shortlisted for the three major film festivals is considered a qualification, and if one can be nominated for a single award, even if one does not win it in the end, it is considered an honor, and the qualifications are also raised.

Four films were nominated for each category, and every time a clip was played, the teams involved burst into cheers and applause, and the audience also sent congratulations.

Jiang Shiyu became excited, and asked Yang Shu in a low voice: "Do you think Manman can be nominated?"

She and Yang Shu have discussed this many times, but they still can't help asking.

This is Liu Man's first film appearance, and he is indeed eligible to be nominated for the best newcomer. This was stated in the actor's resume when the film entered the competition.

In order not to add pressure to Liu Man, no one discussed this issue openly. After all, she is a choreographer and director, and acting is not her strong point.

Based on Yang Shu's comprehensive analysis, if "Peach" fails to win the Golden Lion, winning the best screenwriter is the most hopeful, and this is the next best hope.

This drama wins with the story, but the director and performance are relatively subjective, and no one can guarantee that it will be appreciated by the jury.

But because no one knows what the jury admires this year, it is not impossible for Liu Man to nominate the best newcomer. After watching the first three short films, except for the black boy, the performances of the other nominees are not particularly outstanding.

Just as Yang Shu was thinking wildly, Liu Man's face appeared on the screen.

He growled almost subconsciously: "Okay!"

On the screen, Liu Man was expelled from school, and when he left his hometown, he said to Yang Shu who saw him off: "Don't be mischievous, study hard."

In the fierce battle, she knocked Yu Hewei down with a single knife.

"Manman has been nominated!"

The team immediately became agitated: "Great!"

Liu Man was at a loss amid the thunderous applause, Yang Shu smiled and put his arms around her shoulders.

Liu Man tried her best to maintain a smile, and tightly held Yang Shu's hand, her fingers had become cold.

The award presenter came on stage, and it was Japan's Shota Someya, who won the best newcomer at the Venice Film Festival four years ago.

Before departure, Yang Shu had just read the news that Kai Ge's new movie "Legend of the Demon Cat" was about to start filming, starring Someya Shota and Huang Xuan.

Accompanying the awards presentation was Taiwanese director Hou Hsiao-hsien.

Arrange for two East Asians to present awards?
what does this mean?
Yang Shu and sister Tao looked at each other, and then brother Chao and Yu Hewei.

He felt a slight numbness in his scalp that went all the way to his back.

The two award presenters greeted and greeted each other in English occasionally mixed with Japanese on the stage.

Then Someya Shota announced the winners in broken English. Although he couldn't understand anything else, the final name was clear.

"Lu~ Man!"
