Rhapsody of Entertainment Rebirth

Chapter 266 Chapter 266: Chinese Movies Start Again

After Liang Jiahui finished his acceptance speech, amid the cheers and applause of fans and guests in the audience, he excitedly raised the Silver Lion trophy and kissed it before walking off the stage under the guidance of the etiquette lady.

Within a few minutes of his speech, reporters had already spread the news throughout the Chinese Internet. The rapid take-off of the Internet has made time and space become smaller and smaller.

Because of the selection of "Moon", the Chinese public is particularly enthusiastic about this Venice Film Festival.

Now that it’s the final moment to win the award, several Chinese portals have broadcast the closing ceremony of the Venice Film Festival live with pictures and text.

Shanhe's huge fan base and a large number of melon-eaters packed all the live broadcast rooms. Everyone was chatting and waiting for Shanhe to create another miracle.

Comments on the message board were rolling by at a rapid pace, especially the moment "Moon" missed out on the best screenplay award.

Shanhe is one of the most famous screenwriters in the world, and according to media analysis, apart from the Best Actor, Shanhe’s best opportunity to go on stage to receive an award is the Screenwriter Award!

Book lovers and fans are extremely confident that Shanhe will win this award. How did Shanhe become famous? It all depends on writing and screenwriting!

Every movie he has participated in screenwriting has been a hit, and has received good reviews. Everyone is waiting to see Shanhe's acceptance speech!

As soon as the live broadcast text of "The Queen" winning the Best Screenplay Award came out, the entire live broadcast room exploded!

"What is going on in Venice? I've been preparing for it all night, now do this!"

"Is there something shady about this? What is "The Queen"? It's about the Queen of England. Can it be more creative than Shanhe's "Moon"?"

"It's clear that we are trying to balance the awards. Liang Jiahui is sure to win the best actor award. "Moon" is probably the only one to win this award!"

"Venice is deliberately trying to create an upset!"

Then no one paid attention to the news that Queen won consecutive awards, and the live broadcast room was still lamenting and cursing that Shanhe missed out on the best screenwriter.

This situation continued until the news that Liang Jiahui won the best actor was announced in the live broadcast column.

"The best actor! Liang Jiahui won the best actor! Finally he is safe!"

"Didn't the media say that this award is the most stable? How many Venice Best Actors have we had in China?"

"This is the second one. The first one is Xia Yu. He was the leading actor in Jiang Wen's "Sunny Days" in 1995. He also has two Best Actors at Cannes, Ge You in "Alive" and Tony Leung in "In the Mood for Love". Berlin not yet!"

"It's a bit of a joy for 22-year-old Shanhe to support a 48-year-old movie star!"

"If the actor takes it, will there be no chance of him in the future?"

The Chinese people were discussing the film with joy online, and Shan He was also excitedly holding the Silver Lion trophy at the closing ceremony of the Venice Film Festival.

After Liang Jiahui stepped off the stage, he handed the trophy to the assistant director Cicada next to him. Then each team member touched it and finally passed it to Shan He.

Although Shanhe had no obsession with winning the prize, he was still a little excited after actually holding the trophy.

The weight of the trophy is indeed heavy enough, and the sense of achievement and honor in it can make people faint!

Shanhe stroked the small Silver Lion trophy for a moment and then returned it to Liang Jiahui. This is an honor that belongs to the actor and the entire movie!

"Moon" is enough!

The award ceremony on the stage was still going on. Shanhe stabilized his mood and continued to watch the guests' remarks with a relaxed look on his face.

"Film is the greatest art. Although it only has a history of more than a hundred years, countless filmmakers are struggling and crazy for it..."

Next was the Lifetime Achievement Golden Lion Award, which was won by American director, screenwriter, and producer David Lynch.

The organizing committee of the film festival is very interesting. After the Lifetime Achievement Award is the "New Discovery" Silver Lion Award. This award is used to recognize the masterpieces of new directors. Shanhe's chances of winning are not small.

Shanhe is an undoubted newcomer in the director circle, and the filming of "Moon" is full of novelty, which is very suitable for such a newly established award.

Although the influence and gold content of this award are a little less, it is better than nothing!

The famous Russian actress Chalpan Karmatova took the stage to announce the award results.

"Emmanuel Criales, The Golden Door!"

As the Russian beauty read aloud, this award "Moon" also fell through!

Shanhe applauded the winners with a smile on his face, but still felt a little disappointed in his heart. It seemed that he had no hope of getting on the stage!

After the "New Discovery" Silver Lion Award was presented, the entire closing ceremony has come to an end, and the three most important film awards are left.

Silver Lion for Best Director, Special Jury Prize and Golden Lion for Best Film!

Shanhe felt that his chances of winning the prize were almost zero, and the literary quality of "Moon" was still inferior, so he more easily regarded himself as a group of melon-eaters.

Jia Zhangke was so nervous now that his facial muscles were stiff. "The Good Man" is one of the two most popular films at the film festival. "The Queen" is out. "The Good Man" has a great chance of winning the Golden Lion!

At this time, festival president Mark Muller and jury president Catherine Deneuve walked onto the stage together.

"The following three awards will be announced and awarded by Catherine and I. Before that, Catherine has something to say to everyone!" Mark Mueller made an inviting gesture to Catherine.

Catherine smiled and leaned towards the microphone, "I have participated in many film festivals and been a member of the jury several times, but this is the first time I have seen such a competitive scene like this film festival. The following three awards It took five rounds of voting to arrive at the result. Although it did not satisfy everyone's opinions, the jury unanimously believed that this was the best result. Well, let's let Mark announce the Silver Lion Award for Best Director! "

Catherine Deneuve's words made the guests and the audience curious. The jury was trying to cause trouble!

Mark Muller on the stage smiled and said: "The director is the soul of a movie. Without a good director, it is impossible to produce a good movie. What I want to announce next is the director who performed best at the film festival!"

He pretended to open the envelope, looked at it for a few seconds, and then leaned in front of the microphone, "The winner of the best director at the 63rd Venice Film Festival is ~ Zhang Kejia's "The Good Man"!"

When Shan He heard this result, he was stunned. What is going on? I slapped Jia Zhangke's golden lion away!

How should this be calculated? Did I make a profit or a loss for my trespassing?

Won one more Best Actor, but lost a Golden Lion!

Although I don't like Jia Zhangke's "The Good Man from Three Gorges", it is an honor that belongs to Chinese films after all. To be slapped away like this, Shan He was a little confused.

It wasn't until Jia Zhangke came to the stage to receive the award with joy and a little bit of disappointment that he came to his senses and quickly joined in the applause.

Jia Zhangke's English is pretty good, and he spoke very clearly about the origins of "The Good Man" because he also has a companion documentary that was also selected for the Venice Film Festival. He repeatedly uses "choice" to define his movies. Very good, it aroused a round of applause from European and American guests!

Shanhe just smiled, that is your choice, not the choice of the times!

After Jia Zhangke won the award, everyone in the domestic live broadcast room was very happy. After all, they knew that only Shan He should win the Golden Lion for "The Good Man in Three Gorges". Chinese film has already won two heavyweight awards. This is good news worth celebrating. .

At the same time, everyone has no expectations for the award ceremony later and is busy chatting and spanking!

At this time, Shanhe was the same. He crossed his legs and watched Jia Zhangke step off the stage holding a silver lion. He said secretly: Sorry, Chief Jia, I really didn't mean to do it this time. I'm so unlucky!

Mark Muller and Catherine continued to take the microphone and presented the next award, the Grand Jury Prize!

This is the film festival award second only to the Golden Lion Award. It must be unanimously recognized by the jury members and is full of gold. Only Zhang Yi in China has won this award in 1991 with "Raise the Red Lantern".

After saying a few scene words, Catherine directly opened the envelope without any pretense of watching. She raised the microphone and announced: "The film that won the Jury Prize at the 63rd Venice Film Festival is "Mahamant Saray" ·Haron, "Dry Season"! "

The audience burst into applause. Shanhe had watched "Dry Season". It is a movie about the small African country of Chad. A sixteen-year-old boy embarks on a journey of revenge and also embarks on a complicated road of growth!

The photo is excellent, but it is not the favorite to win the award. It seems that this year's Venice will be a surprise! It seems that the final recipient of the Golden Lion Award is the nearly 80-year-old French director Alain Resnais!

Although his "Secret" was the winner of the highest score in the film festival program, it was not a big hit!

But Catherine on the stage hadn't put down the microphone yet, "Ladies and gentlemen, I haven't finished speaking yet!"

As she spoke, the audience instantly fell silent. She was about to give out a double-yolked egg! The guests in the audience, including the "Moon" team, were very curious about this double yolk egg winner.

"Also, mountains, rivers and hills, "Moon"!"

Before Catherine finished speaking, the audience in the audience burst into thunderous cheers and applause. "Moon" was the most popular film at the festival. The ordinary audience in the audience were very satisfied with the result and were very enthusiastic. .

Then the guests reacted to the surprise and joined in the applause.

But the entire "Moon" team was confused. Isn't there no chance? After working on it for a long time, this double-yolked egg was laid for us!

Shanhe also sat dumbfounded in his seat. How could it be possible? I just won the jury award. Isn't it so smooth?

Hathaway was the first to react. She turned around excitedly and hugged Shanhe, kissing him on the cheek. "My dear, you won the prize! Oh my God, Qiu, you won the jury award!"

At this time, Shanhe and the entire team just woke up from a dream. They jumped up and cheered loudly and hugged each other.

"I'll go! We won the jury award!"

"You're not dreaming!"

"Brother Hui, pinch me!"

"Haha... Now it's perfect!"

"Dear! Everyone is waiting for you!" Hathaway whispered to Shanhe in his ear.

Shanhe let go of Hathaway, smiled and said to the team members: "I'll go get the trophy back first!"

After saying that, he strode towards the stage, muttering to himself: A Golden Lion for a Best Actor, a Best Director plus a Jury Prize, this is a huge profit!

He walked onto the stage, waved to the applauding fans, and then hugged Mark Muller and Catherine.

Then they shook hands with Mahamant Sarai Haroon, who took the stage first, and congratulated each other.

When he took the Silver Lion trophy from Mark Muller, the audience stood up and applauded him, and then each guest also stood up and applauded.

Seeing this, Mahamant Salai Haron made a very gentlemanly gesture to Shanhe, asking him to invite him first. Shanhe smiled and thanked the French director.

He didn't show any politeness, he leaned directly into the microphone and said clearly in both Chinese and English: "This is an unexpected surprise, wow! It's unbelievable!"

He picked up the Silver Lion trophy and raised it to the audience. Amidst the cheers, he continued to speak in English: "I really want to speak in my mother tongue at this moment, because only the magnificence of Chinese can describe my current mood. It's a pity that none of you understand! When I decided to try my luck in Venice with "Moon", almost everyone thought I was crazy. How could a Chinese science fiction film win an award at the Venice Film Festival? No. What a precedent! Now it seems that I have set this precedent. Of course, I want to thank Mark and Catherine. The pioneering thinking of the Venice Film Festival jury made me successful!"

Shanhe turned to look at the two award-giving chairmen and raised his hands to thank them.

The two of them smiled and nodded in response.

The audience burst into applause in response.

Shanhe continued: "At this moment, standing here, I fully feel the beauty of the movie and the power of change, which makes me even more convinced: the past is worth remembering, reality is not all a mess, and the future will be better! Movie If this is the case with China, so will the world!"

The applause and cheers started again!

Shanhe then said in Chinese: "Thank you to all the crew members of "Moon", we will have a big dinner when we go back; thank you to my girlfriend Hathaway, your company has brought me good luck; thank you to the book fans and movie fans who have always supported me, You will always be my glory; thank you to my family far away in China, everything I have belongs to you!"

Shanhe raised the Silver Lion trophy and waved it to the audience again, "Thank you to everyone!"

Shanhe ended his acceptance speech amid applause.

At this time, in the domestic graphic live broadcast room, the message board has been completely blocked, there are too many people!

"I'm going to kill you! I wrongly blamed the Venice judges. It turns out they have this in mind!"

"The jury award! Zhang Yi seems to be the only one in China who has won it!"

"Shanhe really didn't disappoint me. He still made trouble and exploded abroad!"

"Idol! The girls I lead get the best awards, and they can do anything all the way! I have to say goodbye to him, and wish me good luck in my postgraduate entrance examination tomorrow!"

"Bless me too, please bless me for a promotion and a salary increase!"

"Let's pray together and wish me a successful interview tomorrow!"

"Shanhe, I will offer you some incense. Please help me win the lottery tomorrow!"

"A bunch of shameless men! They have fallen into the eyes of money! Shanhe, I have been your fan for six years. I will confess my love to my senior brother tomorrow, so you have to protect me!"

The award-winning "Moon" makes people have to admire Shanhe's talent and luck!

Young netizens on the Internet joke and ridicule Shanhe as a Bodhisattva in the temple!

The happiest people for "Moon" winning the Jury Prize are the employees of Chuhe Film and Television and Shanhe's family!

"Moon" won two jury awards and the Best Actor Award. This is great news for the follow-up release plan of "Moon".

Zhong Lifang and Yang Liu, who were watching the live broadcast in the Venice Hotel, hugged each other and shouted loudly. This will increase the bargaining chips and save publicity expenses!

The realization of simultaneous global release is already a certainty. Will anyone still refuse the agency distribution of "Moon"! European and American publishers’ distribution commissions can also be negotiated at a lower price!

With two grand prizes in hand, Zhong Lifeng's box office bottom line for "Moon" immediately rose to 100 million U.S. dollars worldwide, and the cost was 6 million U.S. dollars. How much money would this squib with a high return on investment earn?

The profit from one Shanhe movie is enough to completely acquire Golden Harvest on Hong Kong Island. It’s terrifying!

As long as Chuhe Film and Television has a presence, it is not inferior to any Chinese private film and television group.

In this era where the Internet is becoming more and more developed, reputation is the greatest capital and the greatest profit point!

Zhong Lifeng suddenly felt a surge of pride in her heart. The top six in Hollywood, hum, give me another ten years, and we will face each other someday!

At this moment, the small foreign-style building in the Shanhe family's magic city was also immersed in joyful cheers.

Qiu Chuxi ran around the room excitedly, shouting loudly: "My brother has won the grand prize, and he is a great director!"

Doudou, who was following behind her, seemed to feel the joy of her playmates and family. "Woof, woof" joined Qiu Chuxi's celebrations lively.

"Haha..." Qiu Jiang looked at his excited daughter and said with a smile on his face: "Xixi, daddy is treating me today, let's go out as a family to eat your favorite hairy crabs!"

"Oh! Dad, you are so awesome!"

Xie Meiyu ignored the wanton celebrations of the two father and daughter. She was looking at the introduction of the Jury Award on the Internet, "This Jury Award is not the best. There is also a Golden Lion Award behind it. It is a pity. Keep at it." It’ll be ready in one go!”

"That's what you said! What do you mean by holding on a little longer? Do you think you're queuing up to buy groceries? It's amazing that Xiaohe can win the jury award. In China, only Zhang Yimou has won it. He is only twenty-two years old. !" Qiu Jiang said to his wife.

"That's someone else. My son is a genius and specializes in doing things that others can't do!" Xie Meiyu responded arrogantly, "But if we get two, it's still more cost-effective than one!"

"What you said is too vulgar. This is the Film Arts Award. You can't calculate it clearly with an abacus bead!"

"I can't figure it out. Zhong Lifeng has already rushed to Venice. As long as he wins the award, "Moon" will be released worldwide. If you win more, you will have more chips. You know what the heck!"

The two couples started arguing with each other again. Yu Zhengchong smiled and added: "Winning an award is a great thing. What Xiaohe lacks now is awards. Isn't that how qualifications and fame are piled up!"

Xie Shinai also nodded in agreement: "Xiaohe is too young, and the results such as novel sales and movie box office are still a bit frivolous. It is different when there are internationally renowned awards. To say that "Parasite" also won the award, then Coupled with this film award, Xiaohe can also establish a presence in the Chinese cultural circle!"

"It's still a teacher. Master's wife can see clearly. We can't think of this!"

"Haha... Your wife and I have been working in the Cultural Affairs Bureau for most of our lives. We have never experienced anything. If your wife hadn't been so unlucky back then, she might have become a great painter!"

"You damn old man actually programmed me!"

The closing ceremony of the Venice Film Festival continued on the other side. After Shan He walked off the stage, like Liang Jiahui, he handed the trophy to Bai Yuxia beside him, "Hero, you have a share in this!"

Bai Yuxia held the silver lion, his eyes were red. The Jury Award was not an actor award, it was a praise for the entire movie. Shanhe's words were not exaggerated at all, it indeed contained everyone's hard work!

The trophy was passed around among the creative team, and everyone was very excited and cherished it. Cicada even hugged it and kissed it hard, which immediately aroused everyone's condemnation.

Amid excitement among the cast of "Moon," Mark Muller announced the winner of the Golden Lion.

The result did not surprise everyone. Alain Resnais' "Secret" won the most important award.

He should thank Shanhe. Without Shanhe's interference, he and Jia Zhangke should exchange awards.

When the jury is dividing the cake, they cannot give the best to Chinese films!

Amidst the standing ovation and cheers of the audience, the gray-haired Alain Resnais raised the Golden Lion trophy. At this point, the ten-day Venice Film Festival came to an end.

At this Venice Film Festival, Chinese films have made great achievements, with heavy successes in the non-competition section, the horizon section, and the main competition section.

The three shining silver trophies witnessed the highlight moments of mainland films. In the history of Chinese films, no film festival has ever had such glory!

On this night, the domestic Internet is destined to go crazy for the movie.

The homepage news of all portal websites reported this amazing news on a large scale.

"Domestic films dominate Venice, Shanhe unexpectedly won the Jury Award - The 63rd Venice Film Festival came to an end tonight, and the domestic films "Moon" and "The Good Man" won the Best Actor, Best Director, and Three Jury Awards.

Not only did the portal use special reports to cover the entire Venice Film Festival, but other forums and chat rooms were also filled with news about the film festival.

That night, photos of Shan He and Liang Jiahui holding up silver lions were everywhere on the Chinese Internet, and Jia Zhangke and "The Good Man from Three Gorges" became famous.

For the first time, a Chinese film appeared on the Internet with a shocking image.

After the decline of the movie in the 1980s, it has once again made its debut. This may be a new starting point and a new milestone!
