The King of Huayu Science Fiction

Chapter 57 Awards

In the end, the jury award was won by the American horror film "Door No. 14". It can be seen that the director and producer of "Door No. 14" were not very excited when they spoke on stage.

The Jury Award, also known as the Silver Fir Award, is theoretically second only to the Golden Fir Award, but in fact it is not as good as the Best Director Award, and is a consolation award for the losers of the competition.

The best director award was presented by Sam Mendes, the chairman of the previous jury and Oscar-winning director.

The old gentleman sold the key before the lottery: "The Orlando Film Festival has been held for so many sessions. I am very pleased that more and more films from all continents and regions are coming here. Orlando is a window. Through Through this window, movie fans and audiences in North America can get in touch with film works of different civilizations and cultures, and at the same time, more and more cutting-edge directors have entered the field of vision of North American audiences and even world audiences through this window."

Sam Mendes looked up at the location of the main creator of "Fatal Identity", then at the direction of Lee Jung-jae, and smiled: "Especially more and more Asian filmmakers, they bring unique This not only means that Asian genre films are becoming more and more mature, but also marks that the cultural exchanges between East and West in film creation have taken root at the Orlando Film Festival."

Chen Jingxing was frightened by Sam Mendes. It is not a good thing to receive special attention and praise from the award presenter at the moment of awarding the best director. His goal is the Golden Spruce.

After molesting the two Asian directors, Mr. Mendes did not continue to whet his appetite, but simply announced the list of winners: "The winner of the best director is... Lee Jung-jae, "Moon Night Fantasy"!"

Li Zhengzai stood up with a smile all over his face, and walked towards the awarding platform without any disappointment on his face.

Chen Jingxing and the others were also clapping. He was trying to suppress the excitement in his heart, because the TV camera might still be watching him, so he had to be reserved.

Not only the main actors of "Fatal Identity" were excited, but other filmmakers, media and audience around were also looking at Chen Jingxing and his party, and there were even flashing lights in Chen Jingxing's direction.

In the history of the Orlando Film Festival, there has never been a precedent for the best director and the Golden Spruce Award being awarded to the same film. In everyone's eyes, it is clear that the quality of "Moon Night" has not yet reached the level that the jury made an exception. "14 "The Number Gate" has already won the "Silver Fir Award", and it must have missed the Golden Fir Award. Most of the people present have watched the film screenings of the past few days, especially the screenings of the main competition films, and they all have a good opinion in their hearts. So far, only "Shadow of Wind" is left that can pose a threat to "Fatal Identity" at the Golden Spruce Awards.

Will the jury give the highest award to "Shadow of the Wind" after the actor, or will it be awarded directly to "Fatal Identity"?

It can be said that there is not much suspense anymore.

Perhaps the organizers of the film festival also knew that Jin Yunshan had no suspense, so Paul Morris, the chairman of the jury this year, immediately began to read the award speech after taking the stage.

"A truly thrilling thriller - one that will keep your mind bouncing and your mind lost. It combines the rare puzzle of the inner world of consciousness with surprising plot twists." Among them, the audience may go to the cinema to watch him again and again, just to experience the fun of combining horror and puzzles again. The director relies on the character's ability to tell a story, rather than using action and violence to stimulate, cleverly weave Piece by piece of the puzzle, the whole film is horribly tackled. 'Identity' lends a 21st century identity to this classic-style thriller."

"Johnson-chen, congratulations, young director from Huaguo!

Thank you for your incomparable work Identity! "

The theater resounded with applause that broke the decibel record at the awards ceremony, which is a treat only the winners of the Golden Spruce Grand Prix can enjoy.

Li Zhengzai couldn't help leaning back, unable to hide the disappointment in his heart, but then he smiled and gave applause to the biggest winner tonight. Whether it is true or false, NBC's broadcast camera will probably be aimed at him and "Wind of the Wind" at this moment. The main creative team of "Shadow".

The youngest director of the Golden Spruce Award in the history of the Orlando Film Festival was born!And refresh the record from 33 years old to 22 years old.

Even in world-renowned film festivals, the director who won the highest award at the age of 22 is a record that no one can break!

When Chen Jingxing's mind was still blank, he was overwhelmed by the applause and congratulations around him. Even the producer Zhang Tong, who had always shown a calm and sophisticated image, laughed and hugged him.

The Golden Spruce Award was awarded to the entire film, so eight actors, including Luo Chen, stood on the award stage together with Chen Jingxing and Zhang Tong.

["Fatal Identity" won the Golden Spruce Award! 】

Sina's reporter stationed in Orlando immediately posted the edited text in the online text live broadcast room.

In the history of Chinese films, only two works have been shortlisted for the main competition in Orlando, namely "A Chinese Ghost Story" and "Alien Space". Awards, of course, this is not to say that there are no excellent fantasy and science fiction works in Chinese films, it is just a matter of timing and Orlando's selection of materials.

The history of the Orlando Film Festival is not long. At the beginning, it was mainly a screening window for European and Latin films. There were not many Asian films participating in the exhibition. After the trend began to turn to Asia, more and more Asian movies appeared in Orlando.

In any case, this news has spread wildly on the Internet in Huaguo. Although the Golden Spruce Award is not awarded to the director or actor, in fact, the award itself includes praise for the director and even the actor, because the awarding logic of the film festival It's different from Oscars.

Brother Chen Kai won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival for "Farewell My Concubine", but he did not win the Best Director Award.

This principle is also true for Chen Jingxing. The Golden Spruce Award is actually a combination of the best director and the best film. The real best director and jury awards are equivalent to the rewards for No.2 and No.3.

This is why it is not uncommon for the best picture and best director to be awarded to the same film in the Oscars, but the highest award and best director in the film festival are rarely repeated, because the awarding logic of the film festival is actually to do the same to the shortlisted films. Ranking, the highest award, best director and jury awards are the first, second and third.

Not only did news of the award spread like a virus on the domestic Internet, but soon even photos and videos of Chen Jingxing and several main actors delivering their acceptance speeches appeared on the Internet.

At 1 a.m. on January 6, Beijing time, enjoy a meal in a glass-walled office.

Tang Xin suddenly let out a scream, and after realizing her gaffe, she quickly covered her mouth, looked outside the glass wall, found that no employees were alarmed by her noise, breathed a sigh of relief, and looked back at the computer screen.

On the computer, a picture news article posted by Sina.com was displayed.

Chen Jingxing held up a golden trophy like a spruce tree in one hand, with a cheerful smile on his face, he moved closer to the microphone as if talking about something.

The face is so familiar, but a little strange.
