Compared with the high-spirited when he first came to Venice, Yu Dong at this time had a sad face.

""Lust and Caution" is mainly too noisy, and the above takes into account the impact, so I am ready to cool down for a while and postpone the release. Of course, in the end, it depends on the modified version. ”

The news that Yu Dong knows is still relatively reliable.

"Then can we advance the schedule?" said Xiao Douding first.

Yu Dong glanced at He Xin and muttered: "This is no problem, but you have to think about it, in this case, you are only a week away from the release of "The Sun", and the competition for the National Day file is fierce." ”

He Xin and Xiao Douding glanced at each other, nodded in unison, and said, "No problem!"

If they hadn't seen the movie "The Sun", just based on Jiang Wen's name, they might have to worry about three points. But after reading it, the first thing I felt was what is this?

You say brain-burning, the core of the movie is a simple story, but if you say it's simple, the jump of the camera and the jump of the storyline will make you look in the clouds.

At the end of the premiere, Tong Yali's feeling was that she couldn't understand it, and it wasn't good-looking; Chen Zhixi's feeling was just one word "pretend"; and for He Xin, the first was disappointment, and the second was that she felt that this movie seemed to have the flavor of Lou Ye, but it didn't have Lou Ye's restraint, it seemed scattered, chaotic, and too self-indulgent, and the director only cared about his own feelings, and obviously ignored the audience's feelings, and the viewing experience was poor.

Hearing the answers of the two, Yu Dong couldn't help but smile bitterly: "You guys are so optimistic about "The Sun"?"

"Uh......"

He Xin was not very good at organizing his language.

Xiao Douding said bluntly: "What is this, I can't understand it!" Mr. Yu, I think your company may have to make another loss-making transaction this time. ”

“......”

Yu Dong suddenly felt a tightness in his chest, and he was trading at a loss! Isn't this pouring salt on the wound!

But he immediately laughed self-deprecatingly and shook his head: "I am counting on "The Sun" to win an award now, no matter what the award, at least there is a hype gimmick, otherwise it may be really a hit with so many copies or the publicity money in the early stage." ”

In the face of Dong's helplessness, Xiao Douding still had no empathy and said: "Fortunately, your company has no guarantee this time, otherwise you may lose more." ”

As she spoke, she shook her little head and said with a smile: "Mr. Yu, do you think we should tilt the publicity resources to our side a little bit, at least you will definitely not lose our movie, and the losses outside the embankment will be made up for in the embankment!

Yu Dong's face was black, but he had to admit that his words were not rough. In fact, he still doesn't understand why "The Sun" is so unwelcome in Venice.

As a distributor, he had seen the film a long time ago, and more than once. As a former literary and artistic youth, in his view, Jiang Wen's "Sun" not only contains profound metaphors through the use of magical colors, but also completes the art of sublimating absurdity into light and shadow.

Whether it is from the photography to the soundtrack, this work is almost impeccable in his eyes, and the two Chinese eras constructed by the unreal and the real together make people feel a romantic atmosphere that originates from the years.

Otherwise, he would not have known that "The Sun" was not accepted by Cannes, but still offered a guaranteed box office release of 60 million.

It's a pity that the producer didn't accept it at all, what kind of joke, the investment in this movie will exceed 60 million, how can it be possible to promise a guaranteed box office of 60 million.

In the producer's view, the domestic box office must reach at least 100 million, and then add overseas revenue, so as to ensure that there is no loss.

The box office of 100 million seems to be very high, but the national teacher, Chen Dadao, and Feng Xiaogang have all won the box office of more than 100 million yuan one after another, and even Ning Hao, a newcomer, almost squeezed into the ranks of directors with 100 million yuan. There is no reason for a "genius director" like Jiang Wen to lose to a hairy boy and make the vertical son famous.

What's more, more than ten years ago, Jiang Wen not only won the actor with Xia Yu in Venice with "Sunny Days", but also got a box office of more than 50 million in China.

"The Devil is Coming", which invested more than 30 million eight years ago, was banned in China, but with its excellent reputation of winning the Grand Jury Prize at the Cannes Film Festival, it was still able to recover all the investment with overseas income. And now this "Sun" is his blood-vomiting work that has sharpened his sword for ten years.

Especially after "The Sun" was shortlisted for the main competition unit of the Venice Film Festival, it was even more unlikely that the producer would agree. Yu Dong had to accept the regular distribution by point model, that is, the distribution fee was returned according to the percentage of the box office. In this way, compared with guaranteed issuance, the advantage is that the risk taken by the issuer is relatively small, and of course, the return is also small.

Movies are a high-risk industry, and the guaranteed distribution model not only tests the vision and ability of the distributor, but also has a strong gambling nature.

The domestic guaranteed issuance model was originally created by Dong and made a fortune from it. Yu Dong may have been a little depressed at first, but now it seems that Yu Dongfei is not only secretly happy, but also worried about whether the copy costs and publicity costs invested in the early stage can be recovered.

You must know that after learning that "The Sun" was shortlisted for Venice, Jiang Wen and the producer, including Yu Dong himself, everyone's morale was very high, not only increased publicity, but also doubled the original plan, all looking forward to winning both prizes and money.

originally thought that coming to Venice could replicate the grand occasion of "The Devil is Coming" in Cannes, but the result was generally reflected that he could not understand it, and the reputation was very poor. At present, except for Singapore and Japan, there is no interest in overseas copyrights, and there is no interest in the copyrights of Central Europe and North America.

Compared with the excitement of "The Tale of Two Donkeys", it is almost a foregone conclusion that people are more than 1 million euros in Europe and 500,000 US dollars in North America, which is equivalent to 156 million yuan.

At the beginning, people sent it to the door, but Bona did not invest. Yu Dong regretted it when "The Story of Two Donkeys" was shortlisted for Venice before, and even his intestines are going to regret it now.

Although "The Sun" currently has a poor reputation and low ratings, it represents the taste of European film critics and audiences after all, and the key to winning the award depends on the selection of the seven judges, and the opinion of the chairman of the jury is particularly important.

Just like last year's Section Chief Jia's "The Good Man of the Three Gorges" also has a good reputation, and the score is not slippery, and it can still win the Golden Lion Award in the end.

Now the producers of "The Sun", including Jiang Wen and Yu Dong, are pinning their hopes on the national teacher to open up the net, and the Golden Lion Award dare not think that even if it wins a small award, there will be a hype and publicity gimmick when it returns to China, and it will also boost the domestic box office at that time.

Although Yu Dong was very upset by Xiaodouding's quick talk, the meaning conveyed was not wrong. He informed the country as soon as possible that the promotion of "The Story of Two Donkeys", as well as the related publicity work and the printing of copies, should be carried out as soon as possible.

Originally, "A Tale of Two Donkeys" was only going to be released in ten major cities, but now it seems necessary to put this film on the same scale as "The Sun". Xiaodouding has a sentence that really reminded Yu Dong that the loss in the embankment is made up for outside the embankment.

He no longer dares to expect Jiang Wen's "Sun", which has been sharpened for ten years, to bring much revenue to the company, and he is already thankful for the release of the two films this time, and he can finally get a tie.

It is said that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

The next day, He Xin and the others received six invitations to the closing ceremony, which means that the film won the award. But "The Sun" didn't receive a single one, and Jiang Wen, Kong Wei, Zhou Yun, Xiaofang and others, who were unusually high-profile before, had to go home in a gloomy way. Yu Dong stayed, after all, "The Tale of Two Donkeys" is also a movie released by Bona.

However, it is reported that Li Yu, who is far away in Toronto, is flying across the Atlantic Ocean overnight to rush back to Venice, which also means that "Lust and Caution" has also won the award. Just like the year before last, Li Yu came to Venice with "Brokeback Mountain", and then received the news that he rushed back to Venice overnight from the Toronto Film Festival, and won a Golden Lion Award.

The closing ceremony was even more deserted than the opening ceremony, and the Hollywood stars who caused a sensation during the festival, such as Charlize Theron, Captain Jack, Brett Pitt, Cate Blanchett, George Clooney, Jude Law, etc., including the British rose Keira Knightley, who appeared at the opening ceremony, were nowhere to be seen, and Heath Ledger barely came to increase his popularity, but his hip-hop casual clothes seemed to be incompatible with the grand closing ceremony red carpet.

"Ah Xin!"

Liu Ye, who was dressed in a black suit with a white shirt and an open collar, swaggered towards him.

"Yo, senior brother, change your style!" He Xin smiled at his hairstyle with a burr of only three millimeters at the top.

Both of them are artists under the red flag in the long season, if He Xin is the first brother, then this guy is the second brother. Although He Xin started earlier than him, in terms of age and qualifications in Chinese opera, He Xin can only call this guy "Senior brother!"

"Filming needs, filming needs!" Liu Ye touched the burr on his head and explained with a smile.

When he got closer, He Xin found that this guy's smiling face was full of fatigue, and he even had dark circles under his eyes.

I couldn't help but say, "The jet lag hasn't been reversed yet, right?

"Is it so obvious?"

This guy's eyes widened, and then he smiled bitterly: "I only arrived here early this morning, and then it was an interview and a press conference, so I didn't have time to rest at all." ”

Speaking of which, this guy is very hard, compared to He Xin's Buddhism, he has been making continuous film appointments in recent years, TV series and movies have been repeated, and many times he has even made dramas. Last year, he was favored by the national teacher and starred in "The City is Full of Golden Armor", in which he starred in the eldest prince who had a personal relationship with Gong Li, which made He Xin jealous. You must know that the queen mother played by Gong Li in "Golden Armor" is very tempting.

He was also shortlisted for Best Supporting Actor at this year's Hong Kong Film Awards for this role, but with the consistency of the Academy Awards, this kind of nomination is useless at all, just a nomination.

"Oh, by the way, Ah Xin, I haven't congratulated you yet! I won the award in a while, and we will have two drinks together in the evening to celebrate!" Liu Ye immediately smiled again.

The news that "The Story of Two Donkeys" got six invitations has already spread, and Liu Ye congratulated and couldn't hide his envy.

"It's okay to celebrate, but let's go ahead and don't pour me any more wine. ”

The two of them didn't drink once or twice, but this guy relied on his good amount of alcohol, and he couldn't wait to get him drunk every time.

"Ah Xin, I didn't say you, why didn't you grow in the amount of alcohol you drank and drunk?"

"Drink pleasantly, if you really drink like you and drink your girlfriend away, it shouldn't be worth it!"

In fact, Liu Ye really has some problems with alcoholism, and the wine is not very good, and he drinks too much and makes a lot of noise. Last year, he broke up with Xie Na, it is said that he was drinking and making trouble.

Fortunately, this incident has been a long time ago, otherwise He Xin would not have used this matter to stimulate him.

Sure enough, I saw Liu Ye snorting coldly: "You also believe this kind of thing, I haven't been drinking for a day or two, I've been with her for more than five years, why don't you break up sooner or later, but at that time she wants to break up, it's nothing more than that she is popular!"

"So realistic?"

It was the first time he had heard of this statement, especially from the mouths of the people concerned.

Alas, I have seen through everything in this society. Liu Ye sighed with a look of seeing through the world after being beaten by reality.

As he spoke, he said, "However, speaking of which, I really envy you and Cheng Hao." You see the pair in this circle, today the pair broke up, tomorrow the pair broke up, just the two of you have been for so many years, and the relationship is still so good. Hey, by the way, when to drink the wedding wine can be forgotten to be notified. ”

"No one can forget you! Anyway, you are the senior brother of me and Cheng Hao. He Xin punched him in the chest and laughed.

However, when this punch was hammered, I suddenly found that this guy's chest muscles were actually quite hard.

"Yo, yes, you've been practicing pretty hard lately?" he couldn't help but be a little surprised.

"Of course, I've been practicing for two months, and every day eggs, milk, and protein powder almost make me vomit. This barely meets the requirements of director Wang Jing. Liu Ye said with a snorting face.

What Liu Ye said met the requirements of director Wang Jing, and He Xin knew that it was a comic-like or online action movie "Tough Guy" jointly produced by the domestic Ciwen Media and Wang Jing's Hong Kong Dynasty Film Company. This film tells the story of a superman among mortals, a Chinese-style tough guy who shapes the heroic story of ordinary people.

The reason why He Xin understands it so clearly is because when this script first came out, the director of this play, and Ding Sheng, Ning Hao's buddy who filmed commercials together, was the first person he looked for. On the one hand, the schedule could not be scheduled, and on the other hand, because of the last beating incident, he was not very interested in Wang Jing, the producer and producer of this film, so he politely refused.

Unexpectedly, I went around and found Liu Li. Listening to the tone, he didn't know yet, and He Xin naturally wouldn't say anything.

In fact, the so-called blockbusters in recent years have basically been almost all co-productions, especially after "The Ballad of Yunshui", many films have been hyping the concept of the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places.

For example, this time, Liu Li, Shu Qi, Wu Nianzu, and Zhang Zhen brought the closing film "Heaven's Mouth" to this year's film festival, which is also this concept. It's just that this movie, which was released in China last month, has caused a lot of controversy, and the box office can exceed 30 million.

At first glance, it seems that 30 million is a good number, but this is undoubtedly a drop in the bucket for a big production that claims to invest 10 million US dollars. Therefore, this time, the producer won the opportunity of the closing film of the Venice Film Festival, and sent the main creator to attend the promotion together, just to make a breakthrough in overseas revenue.

"Ah Xin!"

At this time, the team of people from Heaven's Mouth came over, and the one who looked a bit like a catfish was the one who took the lead.

"Sister Huihui!"

He Xin hurriedly shouted.

He and Shu Qi once had a very happy cooperation in "Beauty Grass".

Although He Xin is usually very low-key and not very sociable, his popularity in the circle is not bad, especially if he has worked with him. The main reason is that he doesn't have any fights, he doesn't play big names, he has excellent business ability, and he can easily get along with everyone.

With the continuous exchange of mainland and Hong Kong actors, mainland actors also have their own problems, such as relying on their excellent business ability, they often hold a teacher's shelf, which is actually very annoying. He Xin does not have this problem.

"Congratulations!"

Shu Qi grinned and hugged him.

"Brother Danny!

The latter two are also old acquaintances, and Wu Nianzu knew each other when he was filming "Song of Long Hatred" directed by Guan Jinpeng. Danny is definitely handsome, and he is also quite nice, always polite, very polite, and never messes up any negative news.

This year, he starred in "Disciple" with Andy Lau and Zhang Jingchu, and received a lot of praise, and was also known as "Andy Lau's successor".

And Zhang Zhen, another horse-faced person, knew each other when He Xin participated in the Berlin Film Festival for the first time, and not only recognized each other's fellow countrymen, but also chatted very happily. 97 Chinese

"Congratulations, Ah Xin!"

The two came over enthusiastically to hug and congratulate him.

"New brother!"

Next to her was a young woman wearing a silver bandeau pleated gown, looking small and delicate, bumpy and bumpy, with very white skin and a sweet smile.

"Oh, Miss Li, hello!"

He Xin nodded at her politely, and deliberately avoided her slightly open arms, but stretched out his hand to her.

It's not that He Xin is deliberately putting on a show, it's just that he and the other party are just meeting for the first time today, and the other party's reputation for loving hair and King Pingxi in the future is too loud, so he feels the need to keep his distance.

Li Xiaolu was a little embarrassed, but she made her debut very early and was very sociable, she immediately smiled, shook He Xin's hand gently, and then congratulated: "Brother Xin, congratulations!"

"Thank you!"

Then he pointed to Tong Yali and Chen Zhixi, who had just rushed over, and said, "Let me introduce ......."

These two girls obviously ran over deliberately after seeing Wu Nianzu, and when the two sides entered separately, the two were still muttering: "Wu Nianzu is so handsome!"

"That's it, that's it, and his smile is very charming, and he speaks very politely, it's really nice!"

He Xin was speechless when he followed him. Although it is very rude to praise another woman's beauty in front of a woman, but when you praise another man's handsomeness in front of a man, do you also have to take into account the man's feelings?

Although He Xin is not as handsome as Wu Nianzu, he also has self-esteem!

The seats of the crews who hope to win the award are arranged relatively high, which is deliberately done by the organizers. When He Xin, Diao Yinan and others found their seats and were about to sit down, Li Yan, who was sitting in the front row, stood up and took the initiative to greet them.

At the same time, he apologized: "I'm really sorry, I left in a hurry, and I didn't have time to see your work." When the movie is released in the future, I will definitely not miss it. ”

"Thank you, Director Lee. He Xin said politely.

Diao Yinan also followed: "Thank you, Director Li, our movie will be released in China on the 24th." ”

Li Yu was slightly stunned when he heard this, but immediately returned to his usual gentleness, smiled and nodded, "Okay, okay." ”

In fact, when Diao Yinan said it just now, He Xin wanted to secretly step on his feet, but unfortunately it was too late.

September 24 was originally the release schedule of "Lust and Caution", but now everything is still unresolved, and "The Tale of Two Donkeys" has topped the schedule that originally belonged to "Lust and Caution", and people will definitely not feel comfortable.

It's just that he saw that Diao Yinan still looked like he was nothing, so he could only sigh secretly in his heart.

At six o'clock, the award ceremony officially began.

First of all, Lao Ma, chairman of the organizing committee, personally took the stage to make a cameo as the host. He was also a stepping down president before the festival opened, because during his tenure the festival was successfully restructured and the already declining festival was re-elected as president of the organizing committee as Venice embraced Hollywood with its open arms.

Good things greeted the door, Lao Ma was proud for a while, personally introduced the members of the jury one by one, and gave a warm hug to Zhang Guoshi, the chairman of the jury.

Compared with Berlin and Cannes, which have many awards, the awards of the restructured Venice Film Festival have removed a lot of leftovers, and the streamlined awards are undoubtedly heavier.

First of all, the awards for the short film unit, the future Golden Lion unit and the master screening unit were awarded.

The Golden Lion for Best Short Film went to the British short film Dog, a story about a dog that is a faithful companion to man.

The future Golden Lion was awarded to the Mexican-Italian co-production Lazzono.

The Golden Lion was awarded to the famous Russian director Nikita Mikhalkov for "12 Angry Men".

In the award immediately following the ground line unit, Lu Yue's "" won nothing, which was also expected, he did not receive the invitation to the closing ceremony like Jiang Wen and others, and returned to China with Jiang Wen and others a day in advance.

However, the winner of the last Golden Lion Award, Chinese director Jia Kechang, won the Best Documentary Award in the Horizon Unit for his boring documentary "Useless".

For a while, Jia Ke had to fly in waves.

The Venice Film Festival has fewer awards, but due to the withering of the masters, the ceremony has added a retrospective of Antonioni, who died at the end of July, and Pavarotti, who has just passed away. It wasn't until more than an hour later that the final few heavyweight awards were finally announced.

The first award for Best Technical Contribution went to the foreigner photographer of "Lust and Caution", the best newcomer went to the beautiful Tunisian girl in the Golden Lion favourites of this year's festival, "Millet and Mullet", and the best screenplay went to the American film "Free World".

Free World is an absolutely politically correct film. The Yankees slammed their ancestors from the perspective of a savior. This tale of tears and poignancy of migrant workers' lives in a foreign land reveals the true face of the so-called Anglo-Saxon myth.

He Xin's first feeling after watching this movie was really disgusting, the Yankees who have always claimed to be the leader of the free world are just crows falling on pigs - they can't see their own blackness.

followed by the actor and the actress, although He Xin had already died, he was subconsciously very nervous like the rookie Tong Yali sitting next to him.

Fortunately, there were no accidents, and the actress was awarded to Cate Blanchett, the big demon who relegated Bob Dylan, and the actor was given to Brad Pitt, who had a good performance in "Assassination of the Sharpshooter".

If the big demon Cate Blanchett is still convincing, but when the award presenters announced that the actor was Brad Pitt, there was a commotion at the scene, and some people even shouted: "No, notbrad, Cassey!"

It's not Brad, it's Kathy! Casey Affleck is the other star of "Assassination of the Sharpshooter." This Casey also has a famous older brother - Ben Affleck.

How to say, Brad Pitt is an idol in Hollywood, just like Liangtang, and has never been treated well by serious award judges. Being able to win the Venice Best Actor this time is the highest honor that Pitt has received in more than 20 years since filming.

And Brad Pitt's award completely confirmed Lao Ma's infamy for flattering Hollywood, because last year's actor was awarded Ben Affleck.

It's just embarrassing that none of the actors and actresses were present. Heath Ledger, dressed in hip-hop, received the actress trophy for the big devil, and the producer of "Assassination of the Sharpshooter" received the actor trophy on his behalf.

That's right, the Venice Film Festival awards the best actor and actress all the trophies, which are similar to the trophies of previous sports competitions, which are very big!

So far, "A Tale of Two Donkeys" has won nothing, and everyone can't help but get nervous, because there are only three awards left in the end, the Grand Jury Award, the Silver Lion for Best Director and the Golden Lion for Best Picture.

These are also the three most important awards, especially Diao Yinan, who is sitting on He Xin's left hand, has long stopped pretending, and even his breathing has become very short.

At this time, one of the judges, Alejandro Gonzalez, walked on the stage with an excited face, and first said in a rambling manner, which was translated by Little Douding to the effect that he took the initiative to apply for the following award as a guest of honor.

At this time, this Mexican is very proud, because the actor and actress of this year's film festival happen to be the hero and heroine in his movie "Babel".

The full name of this award that he took the initiative to present is the Special Jury Award, which is commonly known as the Jury Prize, which is equivalent to the second prize, second only to the Golden Bear Award for Best Film.

However, after 2013, the Venice Film Festival was restructured again, adding the Grand Jury Prize as the second prize, and the Special Jury Prize was withdrawn by one place as the third prize.

“...... OK, let's see who's the lucky winner......"

After some of Rory's rambling nonsense, the guy finally opened the envelope and revealed the answer:

“HafsiaHerzi！”

"Wow!"

There was a commotion in the audience.

Without him, translated into Chinese is "Millet and Mullet", the biggest favorite of the Golden Lion Award finally failed to win the Golden Lion.

So the question is, who can win the Golden Lion, the seven or eight crews currently sitting in the front row, probably in addition to the actor and actress and the just-announced "Millet and Mullet", there are still four or five remaining crews, including "Lust Caution" and "The Story of Two Donkeys", which have won the best technical contribution award.

Especially "The Tale of Two Donkeys", it is clear that it can win the award, so the remaining Best Director Silver Lion and Best Picture Golden Lion will definitely win one of them.

Diao Yinan was not only short of breath at this time, but even his originally pale face was already flushed, and cold sweat even broke out on his forehead.

After the noise in the audience had quieted down a little, Alejandro Gonzalez, who was standing on the stage, was still holding the envelope, smiled secretly, and suddenly announced another name: "ATaleofTwoDonkeys!"

"Hum—"

Double yolk eggs! The jury prize of this year's film festival actually opened a double yolk egg!

If it is surprising enough to award the best actor and actress to Hollywood stars before, the double yolk egg of the jury award is even more eye-catching, because according to the Venetian tradition, all awards cannot have tied awards. Now that "ATaleofTwoDonkeys" and "HafsiaHerzi" are also awarded the Grand Jury Award, it is undoubtedly a break from tradition.

While the audience was surprised, He Xin heard a sound of "Bang!" on his left hand, and Diao Yinan, whose face was flushed, suddenly jumped up from the chair. Due to the excessive force, they all hit the back of the chair where Li Yu was sitting in front of him.

ATaleofTwoDonkeys, literally translated as the story of two donkeys!

Li Yu turned around in some surprise, stood up and congratulated Diao Yinan with an excited face. Diao Yinan shook his hand indifferently.

It wasn't until He Xin hugged him and congratulated him that Diao Yinan came back to his senses.

"Thank you!!" said "Thank you.

Then he stabilized his emotions, hugged Tong Yali, Chen Zhixi, Xiaodouding and others one by one, and squeezed out of the seat sideways.

"Whoa!"

The guests at the scene applauded heartily and smiled. "Millet and Mullet" was originally a lion favorite, and "The Tale of Two Donkeys", a magical realism film with the theme of animal revenge, was widely praised by fans and critics, and deservedly won the Jury Prize!

Diao Yinan and the lanky French director of "Millet and Mullet" received the medal from Alejandro González. Alessandro whispered a few words with a smile on his face when he presented the award to Diao Yinan.

When he delivered his acceptance speech, He Xin was surprised to find that Diao Dao was fluent in English and didn't even have a hiccup. Although Diao Yinan has no language barrier, he is usually stumbling and has never been so fluent.

Just when he couldn't help but say "huh", Chen Zhixi, who was sitting across Tong Yali's seat, said with a smile: "Boss, you don't know, Director Diao has already been prepared." Boss, aren't you ready?"

And Tong Yali, who was sandwiched between the two of them, looked obviously a little unnatural when she heard this. At this time, Chen Zhixi said again: "Yaya is prepared, and she has to memorize it several times a day!"

As soon as the words fell, I saw that the little rookie's face was flushed all of a sudden, and he grabbed Chen Zhixi's arm and said coquettishly: "Why do you have such a big mouth!"

Diao Yinan's fluent English speech on the stage came to an end, and finally looked at He Xin sitting in the audience, and said in Chinese with special affection: "Finally, I want to thank Mr. He Xin, the investor of this movie, thank you, thank you for giving me the opportunity to complete my dream!"

"Whoa!"

Then the Silver Lion for Best Director was awarded to the American film "Excerpts Revised", which reflected the Iraq War, and using war to describe anti-war has always been a common routine in anti-war films.

This film, which was previously predicted by the media to be one of the favorites of the Golden Lion Award, won the Silver Lion Award for Best Director, but also announced that it was out of the competition for the Golden Lion Award.

This is the practice of the three major sections, with few exceptions. For example, many fans in later generations complained that Leslie Cheung's Cheng Dieyi played in "Farewell My Concubine" did not win the actor, and many conspiracy theories were born. In fact, the main reason is that "Farewell My Concubine" won the Palme d'Or, and the actor naturally wants to award it to others, because this is also called pork. Unless Director Chen can't get the Palme d'Or, then Leslie Cheung may win the actor.

Finally, Lao Ma, chairman of the organizing committee, personally took the stage to reveal the final suspense.

“LustorLove！”

Desire or love, that is, "Lust and Caution".

After Chief Jia won the Golden Lion last year, Chinese films finally achieved a succession at the Venice Film Festival! At the same time, it is also the second time that Li Yu won the Golden Lion after winning the Golden Lion with "Brokeback Mountain" last year!

Then after the announcement, the audience was half applauded and half booed.

"Lust and Caution" was originally a controversial movie. But at the same time, the award of "Lust and Caution" did cause a big upset.

What's even more embarrassing is that when Li Yu received the Golden Lion from Marco Muller and was giving his acceptance speech, the seven or eight guests who were originally sitting in the front row actually left the stage early.

Their film is also a contender for the Golden Lion, and maybe at this moment they feel that they have been unjust!
