China Entertainment: Indulge in Vanity Fair

Chapter 167 This award is unexpected, but reasonable!
The awards presentation at the Venice Film Festival was equally unsloppy and fast.

Of course, there are also many people who come to catch the heat of Venice, and there are many awards with various strange names.

Such as Open Award, Italian Training Association Film Award, Equal Opportunity Award, Outstanding Film Talent Award, Golden Mouse Award... dozens of large and small.

"Sister Tao" won four such small awards, one is the Gianni Astre Award, the other is the Nazareno Tadai Award, the other is the Equal Opportunity Award, and there is a special honor for Catholic culture prize.

"Scorching Sun" does not have these messy awards, mainly because they are not familiar with many small groups of international filmmakers, how can others give you awards?
For example, for the Catholic Award, if "Scorching Sun" was changed to include three criminals who had to buy indulgences in the end and received forgiveness from the Lord, they might be able to win the Catholic Award.

After awarding a 3D movie award, it entered the main unit of the Venice Film Festival - the horizon unit.

Isn't it very strange, why does the Art Film Festival set up awards for commercial 3D films?I am also very strange.

There are only two awards in the horizon unit, one is the highest award of the horizon single line - the best film award, and the other is the special mention award of the horizon unit.

There are two Special Mention Awards this year, a film called "The Orator" from New Zealand, and a short film called "All the Lines (Pipelines) Flowing Out" from Singapore. The name is very strange.

After the Horizon Unit Special Mention Award is awarded, there will be the Italian Local Film Award Special Mention Award. This Special Mention Award seems to refer to the second-level film next to the best film in this unit.

After the two special mention awards were awarded, there were documentary awards and short film awards. He Fang had never heard of these awards, so they have been acting as applause machines.

Whenever there is a prize, they applaud, and then keep a smile on their face, and their eyes show appreciation.

Then came the Italian Local Award. This time the audience was a little more commotion. After all, there are more than half of the Italian audience sitting here, so they know their own films best.

So when a film called "Let It Be Natural" won the award, the audience responded with warm applause and excited cheers.

International filmmakers could only cooperate with smiles and applaud enthusiastically.

It was already 08:30 after the awarding of the local awards in Italy, and these messy awards have been tossing around for an hour.

Next was the Best Film Award for the Horizon Unit. There were a total of 25 films shortlisted for the Horizon Unit this time, but only three won the final award.

This is simply more cruel than the competition in the main competition unit, it is too unfriendly to newcomers.

Jia Kechang, as the chairman of the judging committee of the Horizon unit, took the final award-winning results to the stage to announce.

"The winner of the Best Film Award in the Horizon Section of the 68th Venice International Film Festival is... the movie "Qinzi" from the island country, congratulations."

This movie is very interesting, the hero is the director, and the heroine is the screenwriter, it will really save money.

The films of the island countries have been brought to the rhythm by the western film festivals. Almost all the filmmakers in the island countries are working hard to win awards at the western film festivals. What kind of business?
If there is nothing, let those who engage in animation sell the box office. Who will auction the commercial films at the box office for live-action movies?What's more, there are Hollywood blockbusters made by Lord Empire for the public to watch, and they don't need to make commercial films. What if he shoots a commercial film and steals Lord Empire's box office and makes the adults unhappy?
Therefore, there is only one principle for live-action movies - winning, winning, and winning.

Those who study European film festivals carefully will find that two-thirds of the films supporting European film festivals are European films, and half of the other third are island films.

Of course, Korean movies have also been running wildly on award-winning movies in recent years, but the good thing about Korean movies is that they haven't forgotten about business.

After the award of the best film in the horizon unit, next...

Long Live Director Award, Luigi De Laurentiis Award (Award for Emerging Directors), Marcelo Mastoianni Award (Award for Emerging Actors), Parallel Unit FIPRESCI Award, FIPRESCI Award, Lifetime Achievement Award.

After such a toss, the time has come to 10:[-], and the prizes for the next few main competition units need to be awarded within [-] minutes, which...is enough.

Domestic netizens are also bored watching it, and they don't care about the previous ones.

"Wow, so many awards? Why do I seem to only remember a few awards from Venice?"

"That's because you only care about what you care about. If it weren't for He Fang's participation in the award, would you stay here and watch the live broadcast of the award?"

"That's right, usually who cares who wins an award. I don't look forward to winning an award. After all, I don't understand those movies and I don't want to watch them. If it weren't for He Fang, I wouldn't be too lazy to stay here. This point hugs Wouldn't it be nice to get under the covers with a soft girl?"

"Haha, I've dealt with the soft girl, and she's falling asleep very satisfied now. He Fang, your film must be good, or I'm sorry for my hard work and persistence late at night."

"Is it true? Do you really have soft girls? I don't believe it. Single dogs come out and pretend to be happy, right?"

"I'll go, brother, what you said hurts my heart."

……

Entering the main competition unit to present the awards, the presenter is Darren Aronofsky, the chairman of the jury.

"Let me announce that the winner of the Outstanding Technical Contribution Award at the 68th Venice International Film Festival is... Robbie Ryan, "Wuthering Heights", congratulations."

"Isn't Wuthering Heights a book?"

"Ah, the person upstairs is very knowledgeable, and he also knows the book "Wuthering Heights"."

"Pfft, haha..."

The Outstanding Technical Contribution Award at the Venice Film Festival is basically equivalent to the Best Cinematography Award, with a different name.

He Fang has seen this movie before, how should I put it, the form is greater than the content.If this movie is given an award, it can only be given a photography award, because there are so many empty shots in it, it seems to be a landscape film for people to see the scenery.

Robbie Ryan came on stage and said a lot, and then stepped down.

Then Darren Aronofsky went on stage.

"The following is the Best Screenplay Award," Darren said as he took out the envelope and slowly opened it, "The winner of the Best Screenplay Award at the 68th Venice International Film Festival is...Yorgos Lanthimos and Efsimis Philip from the movie "Alps", congratulations to both of you."

Just when the two screenwriters took the stage, domestic netizens were excited.

"It's not the best cinematography, it's not the best screenplay, and there are awards for best actor and actress, best director, jury award, and best film. You won't lose any of them."

"Hehe, "Scorching Sun" is now stable."

"Hey, why am I so eye-catching, even if I'm hiding among a bunch of young people, trapped among a bunch of handsome guys, I'm still discovered, this damn talent and appearance..."

"Hey, this shameless narcissistic look, how come it means something similar to what He Fang said when he won the Oscar? Upstairs, you can't be He Fang himself, right?"

"He is at the scene, who would be bored and still interact with everyone online?"

……

The two screenwriters talked a lot on stage and then stepped down.Darren continued on stage, then stood in front of the microphone, and checked the envelope in his hand.

"Okay, here is the best actress award." Darren said and started to open the envelope.

"Before He Fang said Deanie Ye would win this award, I don't know if what he said is true."

"Won't it be revealed soon?"

"Next, I announce that the winner of the Best Actress Award at the 68th Venice International Film Festival is... Ye Dexian, from the movie "Sister Tao"."

"Wow..." When the result was announced, the entire hall exclaimed, and the camera immediately took a close-up of He Fang.

He Fang spread his arms and smiled helplessly. He couldn't reveal the results in the future, or he would be caught and sliced.

"I'm going, it's really hit by He Fang, what the hell... is he a god? Can he predict the future?"

"It's not that exaggerated, at most it's predicted based on experience, or it just happened to be right by luck."

"Too……"

Several members of the crew of "Sister Peach" stood up excitedly and hugged Ye Dexian one by one. Andy Lau even turned his head to look where he was and gave him a thumbs up.

Ye Dexian walked onto the stage, received the certificate and trophy, and then stood in front of the microphone.

"I was surprised to win this award. I would like to thank the organizing committee and jury of the Venice Film Festival, and thank all the judges for their recognition of me. Thank you..."

Ye Dexian thanked her all the way, and then ended her acceptance speech. She didn't say much, and what she should say will probably be said in the interview with reporters later.

"Tsk tsk, who is this? Is it someone from the mainland?" There are also discussions on the Internet in Hong Kong.

"Little boy, haven't you ever been to a movie theater? Haven't you seen the movies "Single Zoo" and "Invasion of Wall Street"? The youngest winner of the Palme d'Or in Cannes."

"Oh, why do I care about mainland stars? I usually don't watch mainland news."

"Indeed, who would care about a mainland filmmaker."

……

After Ye Dexian went down, Darren came on stage again with an envelope.

"The following is the best actor award." Darren said and began to open the envelope.

"Come on, come on, I heard that the most praised by everyone in "Scorching Sun" is the performance of the three actors in the film, will they win the award?"

"Really? Who will it be awarded to? Not He Fang, right? I only watched him act in two movies, and his acting skills are average."

"Acting skills are average? A Palme d'Or, and a film with a box office of over [-] million. Do you think the acting skills are average?"

"But at least it's worse than professional actors like Duan Yihong and Deng Chao, right?"

"I think... I really won an award."

When the discussion on the Internet was in full swing, Darren at the awards ceremony uttered a name that surprised everyone, but it was also expected.

"I announce that the winner of the Best Actor Award at the 68th Venice International Film Festival is... He Fang..."

This was not only surprising to everyone, but He Fang was also surprised. Even Deng Chao and Duan Yihong were dumbfounded.

But it's not over yet.

"Deng Chao, and Duan Yihong, from the Chinese movie "Scorching Sun, Congratulations to the three of them."

"..."

"..."

"..."

Three yolks?

"Is this a joke? I know that the three major film festivals have released eggs with double yolks, but I have never heard of eggs with three yolks. Moreover, they are from the same movie, so the three of them have to be in this movie How well did you do?"

"Hiss, this is something to look forward to. It's interesting to have three best actors in one film."

……

After a brief moment of shock at the scene, everyone applauded immediately. Anyone who has seen this movie also understands that the three yolk eggs are not boiled, and the three of them really deserve the name of actor.

"I'll go, the three of you hurry up, I didn't expect that three of our crews went up to receive awards at once." Wang Zhonglei urged.

"Ha, Mr. Deng Chao, Mr. Duan Yihong, I'm sorry, I share the trophy with you." He Fang smiled.

"I'll go, I'll share the points, anyway, I won the award. The actor of the three major film festivals, this is the best gift for my child." Deng Chao was excited when he realized it.

"Me too, this film king has made my ten-year career as an actor more meaningful and worthwhile." Duan Yihong also expressed emotion.

"Don't be emotional, go on stage." Huang Yi was also envious.
