Chapter 93
Zhou Dongyu returned home with the award and was warmly welcomed by everyone. Zheng Xing took the trophy with a heavy hand and said, "It's so heavy. This trophy looks too ugly, like a copper window grille."

Yang Yang teased: "You are naked jealousy."

"I'm not jealous. I'm the best newcomer. I'm going to win the best actress in the future." Zheng Xun said disdainfully.

"Yes, Xiao Shuang Best Actress, give me the trophy so that I can feel happy too." Yang Yang took the trophy from Zheng Xing and started to play with it.The protagonists are also newcomers. It would be a lie to say that Yang Yang does not envy Zhou Dongyu in his heart, but he is a little envious and has no other intentions. She has indeed acted very well, and she deserves this award.

"Brother, thank you." Zhou Dongyu said to Xiao Jian sincerely.

"You don't need to thank me, this is what you deserve." Xiao Jian stretched out his hand and rubbed her head and said. "Don't be proud."

"Ah."

Xiao Jian has given up hope for the next awards. Although the Venice Film Festival is one of the three most influential film festivals in Europe, it has always had a tradition of sitting in rows. Usually, one film wins one award. There are very few films that can win two or more awards at the same time.

Especially when he heard that the movie "The Queen" won the Best Screenplay and Best Actress awards consecutively, he was even more hopeless.He chatted with a few people with a relaxed face.

When it came time to present the best actor award, Yang Yang, who knew he had no chance, still listened carefully, hoping to hear the pinyin of his name from the award presenter.It's a pity that he didn't hear his name until the applause in the hall sounded.

This year's Best Actor was awarded to Ben Affleck for "Hollywood Park".Zhou Dongyu, who was in a very good mood, comforted, "Yang Yang, you acted very well, and you will have a chance next time."

"Thank you, I will work harder to be a good actor." Yang Yang said with a heavy nod.

It is not only Yang Yang who is determined to be a good actor, but also Zheng Min who has been playing soy sauce. She is also secretly determined to play a good role.

At this time, Xiao Jian had packed up his mood and waited for the end of the awards ceremony. To him, it was not bad that the film won the Best Newcomer Award, so he was not too disappointed.

It never occurred to him that he would give up hope of winning the award, but the award presenters on the stage called out his name, and the award he received was still a very important Silver Lion Award.

Xiao Jian froze for a moment, he couldn't believe it, Zhou Dongyu's reaction was faster than him, he jumped up excitedly, hugged him and shouted happily: "Brother, we won another award."

"Brother Yunxiao, we have won an award."

"Congratulations, director."

Xiao Jian laughed happily and said, "Everyone has a share in this award."

This is the first award he has won since filming. He walked onto the stage in a very excited mood. After thanking the guests, he took the silver flying lion trophy from the guests and said in Chinese with a smile, "Thank you to the jury for giving me this award. Here I would like to thank my relatives, because of them I am what I am today. Thanks to my teacher, Mr. Xie Tieli, who is 80 years old and tirelessly taught me how to be a qualified director. Acting in the play with all my heart. Finally, I would like to thank all the people who work with me, thank you, thank you."

Xiao Jian finished his award acceptance speech in a serious manner, and walked off the stage amidst applause. Zheng Min took the trophy in his hand and played with it, and deliberately said to Zhou Dongyu: "This trophy looks much better, it looks like a lion."

Zhou Dongyu smiled without saying a word, not annoyed at all.

The next Best Director Award and the Golden Lion Award were awarded to France's "Top Secret" and "The Good Man in Three Gorges" directed by the sixth-generation domestic director Jia Zhangke respectively.

After Marco Müller, chairman of the current Venice Film Festival, delivered a speech on stage, the awards ceremony of the film festival ended.

Just after receiving the interview with Ai, Xiao Jian received a call from Han Xue.

"Congratulations to Director Xiao for capturing the Silver Lion."

Although Xiao Jian was very happy when he received her call, he still blamed him softly: "Why haven't you slept so late?" At this time, it was almost three o'clock in the morning in China.

Han Xue seemed very happy, and said indifferently: "Of course I will send my blessings as soon as possible. How does it feel for Director Xiao to win the award?"

Xiao Jian pretended to say: "It's so-so and it's not the Golden Lion Award. It's not as pleasant as a phone call from you."

"The mouth is so sweet, I like to hear it."

"..."

The two chatted for about ten minutes, and finally ended the call and took a rest under Xiao Jian's urging.

Then Xiao Xiao, Liu Wen, Huang Bo, Shu Chang and other relatives and friends called to congratulate him one after another. It seems that there are quite a few friends who stayed up late to pay attention to the film festival.

When Jia Zhangke and Xiao Jian won the Golden and Silver Lions respectively, the Chinese reporters on and off the field were excited, and they sent messages back to China as quickly as possible...

When people turned on their TVs, computers, radios, and newspapers early the next morning, the report of "The Chinese Legion's Shuicheng Venice Captures the Golden and Silver Lion Awards" appeared on the headlines of major media.

Of course, the reports about Xiao Jian are less to the left than Director Jia’s, not only because Xiao Jian won a lower level of awards, but also because Xiao Jian represents Hong Kong movies this time, and the films are It cannot be screened in the mainland. If it is too popular and the audience wants to see it, will this film not be released, or not?I'm afraid I can't stand it.

Although the amount of coverage is less, Jia Zhangke won the Golden Lion Award again, but Xiao Jian, who won the Silver Lion Award, and Zhou Dongyu, who won the Best Newcomer Award, received much more attention than Director Jia, so that the limelight was overwhelmed by Xiao. They took the sword away.

No way, Xiao Jian has a lot of fans, and Director Jia has been making banned films all the year round, so the only people who know him in China are just a few kittens.People suddenly heard that a domestic director named Jia Zhangke had won the highest award at the Venice Film Festival, and most people would ask, "Who is Jia Zhangke?" At this name, people's desire to go to the cinema to watch it is gone.

However, Xiao Jian, who has countless fans, has attracted much more attention. However, after learning that "Youth Sprouts" was not released in the mainland, people were very disappointed.

In Venice, the excellent word-of-mouth and two awards won by "Youth Sprouts" at the screening let people know that the film is both artistic and commercial, and various film and television distribution companies have followed it up.

In the end, the European and American copyrights of the film were sold to Lionsgate in Canada for US$320 million.

Excluding the 15% distribution fee that the agreement will distribute to Yingyi, based on the exchange rate of 1:7.8, Europe and the Americas alone can donate more than 2100 million yuan, and the profit is nearly 2 million yuan after excluding costs.
