Chapter 268: Golden Lion Award (4000+ chapters, please subscribe~)
The Venice Film Festival's awards ceremony has come to an end.
Except for the last Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement, there are no more.
Originally, when the Silver Lion Award was won before, everyone thought that Wu Jianye would get it, but it was given to "The Legend of Xili", and everyone couldn't help but be in an uproar, could Wu Jianye really be able to win the Golden Lion Award?
Debut is the pinnacle!
As a result, the guests on the stage now shouted the name of "Fang Ming Carmen".
Wu Jianye is going to return empty-handed?
For a while, the emotions of the crew of "Hang the Red Lantern High" fell to the bottom.
"Young people, you still have to learn more, do you really think that foreign film festival awards are so easy to get!" Sun Jiarui said proudly, if Wu Jianye didn't win the award, then his weight would be much lower, and he would have more reason to deal with him when he went back!
....... "Fought-Named Carmen"...... and "The Red Lantern Hangs High"!"
The big pant of the award presenters made everyone in the crew of "The Red Lantern Hangs High" feel like a roller coaster, up and down.
"Wow!"
First of all, Li Xiaoli jumped up and couldn't help but applaud, and then the whole crew.
No one thought that Wu Jianye's first film would win the Golden Lion Award at the Venice Film Festival.
This is the same award as the Golden Bear Award of the three major European film festivals and the Berlin Film Festival and the Palme d'Or of the Cannes Film Festival, which is also the highest award of the first A-category film festival won by a domestic director.
I can't help but be unhappy and cheer.......
"Lao Wu, I've won the award!"
Grange Zhuang dragged Wu Jianye, who was still a little dazed, and shouted happily.
Wu Jianye's expression also changed from the beginning of the confusion, and gradually a happy smile bloomed on his face, to be honest, he really didn't expect to win the Golden Lion Award, in his opinion, it would be good to be able to win the Silver Lion Award, after all, another time and space "The Red Lantern Hangs High" won the Silver Lion Award.
But then, he figured out something.
That is, the movie "Hang the Red Lantern High" won the Silver Bear Award in 91, and it is only 1983, which means that he came up with this movie eight years in advance, and the shooting techniques and performance forms in it are far higher than this era.
As for the double egg yolk!
European film festivals have always had such a fucking history, and it's not uncommon to have three egg yolks, let alone double egg yolks!
Don't forget that just now at the Venice Film Festival, there was a six-egg yolk.
At this time, the entire crew gathered in front of Wu Jianye to congratulate him.
Wu Jianye smiled: "Thank you, thank you, this award belongs to everyone!"
Grange said happily on the side: "Okay, acceptance speech, let's talk about it after going on stage, don't you see that Godard is ready to go on stage?"
With an elegant smile on his face, Wu straightened his suit, then walked out, looked at Godard and smiled, and the two walked side by side on the podium.
Under the golden light, Wu Jianye was dressed in a black dress, and his elegant appearance made Godard next to him look a little dirty.
At this time, Godard was like a programmed ape in later generations, he had gradually become bald, and his thin figure was naturally not as dazzling as Wu Jianye.
In 1960, he won the Silver Bear at the Berlin Film Festival for "Exhausted", the Golden Bear at the Berlin Film Festival in 1961 for "A Woman is a Woman", and the third year in 1962, he won the Special Jury Prize at the Venice Film Festival for "As You Want".
Later, he won the Golden Lion Award at the Venice Film Festival, and was also nominated for the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival many times.
Last year, he won the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Venice Film Festival!
is a top European literary film master!
At the same time, when he was in the academy, the Yenching Film Academy also showed a lot of movies about Godard, so later generations said that the fifth generation of directors had Godard's shadow on them.
Wu Jianye signaled that Godard was a senior, and he took the lead in delivering his acceptance speech!
Godard agreed with a smile, and then made his own acceptance speech, looking at the other party's easy appearance, Wu Jianye sighed, worthy of being an award-winning professional.
His thoughts drifted a little, and he thought of the medal that Liang Chaowei had won many times after winning the Academy Award for Best Actor many times, and once he even drank too much, was not dressed properly, and went to receive the medal in a daze.
He also hopes for such a day!
At this time, Sun Jiarui's face was uncertain, he really didn't expect Wu Jianye to win the Golden Lion Award, which is an honor for Chinese movies, but it is a torment for himself.
At this time, Wu Jianye was like an emperor in a yellow robe, and if he wanted to clean him up, he had to worry about the influence of many parties.
After Godard's acceptance speech, he stepped aside with a smile, and then nodded to Wu Jianye, signaling that he could step forward and give his acceptance speech!
Wu Jianye held the trophy of the Golden Lion Award in his hand and waved it vigorously.
Then he smiled in Chinese: "I almost had to prepare in advance to buy a plane ticket back!"
The audience at the scene, the audience in front of the TV, understood what Wu Jianye said through the translator, showed a knowing smile, and applauded.
"Thank you to the Venice Film Festival, to Mr. President, and even more to the judges for awarding me such an honor, to "The Red Lantern Hangs High".
Chinese cinema is an old friend of the Venice Film Festival, "Under the Bridge" came here last year, and before I came to Venice, I was encouraged by director Bai Chen, I am very grateful to him, and I also want to thank director Zhu Jinming of my first film "Peacock Princess", I have learned a lot from the two directors.
Now, after several generations of hard work, our Chinese film has finally stood on this stage and won the Golden Lion Award.
This award does not belong to me alone, it belongs to all the Chinese filmmakers who have worked hard for it, thank you to all the people in my crew, and thank you to the efforts of my predecessors. ”
Wu Jianye paused, and at this time, the eyes of the audience were focused on him.
At the moment, at least a million people are watching the live broadcast.
"I'm very happy to be here on behalf of Chinese filmmakers and the best filmmakers in the world, where we can bring all barriers together for the sake of art.
Movies can allow us to transcend reality, it is the starting point, the journey, the destination, and the dream and hope.
Venice's tolerance allows us to show what we are good at.
It does not shy away from human nature, does not shy away from politics, does not shy away from violence, does not shy away from breaking conventions, it has infinite possibilities, unlimited tolerance!
This is the essence of cinema and the essence of Venice, and I think this is what all of us Chinese filmmakers are pursuing.
I believe in a saying: the more national, the more global!
I did it today!
I believe that I am only the beginning of Chinese films, not the end of it, and I also wish all filmmakers good luck!
Thank you!"
Wu Jianye's words reached the ears of everyone at the scene through an interpreter.
Wow!
The audience applauded, and countless people were shocked by Wu Jianye's sentence: The more national it is, the more global it is, everyone feels that they have been inspired by his speech.
And Wu Jianye also put forward the concept of Chinese movies for the first time here, and at this time in the hearts of many people, they think that domestic movies are domestic movies, Xiangjiang movies are Xiangjiang movies, and Wanwan movies are Wanwan movies.
And the Chinese-language film proposed by Wu Jianye at this time directly included all of them.
This kind of argument will be greatly appreciated by the top level in China.
It is precisely because of this meaning that Sun Jiarui's face is even more ugly, what does the country like the most, just like this kind of lofty thing, and encompassing everything is the most correct political attitude.
I believe that when Wu Jianye's acceptance speech is transmitted back to China, Wu Jianye will definitely be appreciated by many high-level executives.
And the official of the Venice Film Festival is even more satisfied with Wu Jianye's acceptance speech, compared to an old fritter like Godard, the acceptance speech can no longer attract much attention.
But Wu Jianye is different, he infinitely raised the height of the Venice Film Festival in his acceptance speech, which is what the Venice Film Festival wants to see.
Bertolucci and the others were below, and they also nodded secretly, and the more they looked at Wu Jianye, the happier they became.
Such a talent is good, and he can be promoted more at European film festivals in the future, and he is a film master who can spend resources to cultivate.
It is foreseeable that the major film magazines and newspapers that are close to Venice will start their routine procedures in the future, and slowly build momentum for Wu Jianye.
Of course, there are also some filmmakers in the audience who are familiar with Chinese movies, listening to Wu Jianye's testimonials, and muttering in their hearts: is also a film director, why is this Wu Jianye so good at talking, look at what people say, the knife cuts tofu, and the two sides are smooth.
And those Chinese film directors who won awards at the film festival before would only say thank you excitedly, which is all kinds of thanks.
What a gap!
Wu Jianye, Godard, and Bertolucci were side by side and were photographed by the media reporters below.
Click!
History remembers this moment!
Walking off the stage, Wu Jianye walked into the backstage, countless reporters and paparazzi waited for a long time, and fired in unison.
If it were just according to the status of the European film industry, these reporters would definitely be the first to interview Godard, but unfortunately at the beginning of the scene, Wu Jianye's fans let everyone know that Wu Jianye is a rock singer kun who has caused a sensation in Europe and the United States.
So looking at the swarm of reporters and paparazzi in front of him, and then looking at the two or three kittens next to Godard, Wu Jianye showed Godard an apologetic smile.
Although Godard felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, he didn't say anything, just smiled back at Wu Jianye, answered a few questions casually, and left.
And Wu Jianye wants to stay here and continue to accept reporters, paparazzi's long front and short cannons.
.......
It was not the domestic media that got the news first, and the domestic media at this time was not yet developed, and the news was not so well-informed.
On the contrary, it was Xiangjiang that was the first to get the news, although the award-winning director was a domestic director, but in the final analysis, he was also a Chinese director, so many Xiangjiang media took this matter as their own front-page headline report.
As for sales?
It's definitely not as exciting as the celebrity romance, but at least it's a buying point.
As the big brother in the circle, Hong Jinbao also got the news at the first time.
After hanging up the phone, Hong Jinbao fell into silence, he didn't expect that Wu Jianye, who made his heart palpitate at the beginning, actually stood on the top of Europe and became the winner of the Golden Lion Award.
There's always something dreamlike.
But then Hong Jinbao also put this matter aside, saying a thousand things and ten thousand, even if Wu Jianye won the Oscar, it would not change much for him.
Although Hong Kong Films values awards, it pays more attention to the box office.
A director like Wu Jianye is destined to not make much waves in Xiangjiang.
However, a director like Li Heizi, after knowing that Wu Jianye won the Golden Lion Award, laughed a few times, showed a happy smile, and drank a few more drinks at night.
After the Venice Film Festival awards ceremony, the organizers also booked a banquet hall at a nearby hotel to hold a celebratory party!
"Long live !!"
Everyone in the crew of "The Red Lantern Hangs High" banged their glasses in unison, champagne splashed, and everyone was excited.
"Hey, hey!"
Zhao Fei held the box of the Golden Lion Trophy, smiled happily, and kept touching it.
"I really didn't expect that I would be able to see our film win the Golden Lion Award with my own eyes. Zhou Qiang blushed, full of embarrassment, "Glory, this is glory!"
Grange Zhuang smiled confidently: "Don't worry, there will be a chance in the future!"
Sun Jiarui looked a little absent-minded at this time, looking at the trophy box in Zhao Fei's hand, and then at Wu Jianye, who was smiling proudly, at this time he had mixed feelings in his heart.
At this time, Bertolucci, who was the chairman of the Golden Lion Award judges, also came here under the leadership of his student Ning Ying.
Ning Ying first said enviously to Wu Jianye: "Old Wu, you really have you, you won the Golden Lion Award for the first time you participated in the Venice Film Festival!"
"Hey, hey!"
"Director Wu, congratulations on winning the Golden Lion Award!" Bertolucci said elegantly while holding a wine glass.
Wu saw that the sharpness in his eyes flashed, and then he thanked him: "Thank you, Mr. Bertolucci, for your appreciation!"
Sun Jiarui leaned over at this time: "Yes, it is Mr. Bertolucci's appreciation, otherwise we really wouldn't have won this Golden Lion Award!"
Wu Jianye and Bertolucci's faces changed at the same time, no one thought that Sun Jiarui would say such a brain-only thing at this time, if others heard it, they might not think about it.
"Being able to win the award is well deserved for Director Wu, and the entire jury is full of praise for the movie "The Red Lantern Hangs High", and they all think that Director Wu will definitely be able to become a film master in time!"
Bertolucci immediately said cryptically.
Sun Jiarui laughed slightly embarrassed twice, and didn't say anything.
"Director Wu, there's something I've wanted to talk to you about a long time ago, I don't know if I have time now?"
Wu Jianye nodded slightly, "Of course!"
Even if he already knew what Bertolucci wanted to talk to him, Wu Jianye still had no way to refuse.
