Chapter XXXVII
It's September 4th.
With the end of the screening of the closing film "Three Billboards", at 7:30 p.m. local time, the closing ceremony and award ceremony of the 74th Venice International Film Festival was launched in the midst of many attentions.
Although the award ceremony was not broadcast live in the mainland, the live broadcast rights of more than 80 countries and regions around the world were sold: the closing red carpet until the end of the awards.
"Burst Drummer" must have something to gain, otherwise the organizing committee will let the crew get out!
Jennifer Lawrence is the first Oscar-winning actress of the post-90s, starring in "Mother" full of bad reviews, and was evaluated by "The Screen": very stupid and superficial religious elements and political views expressed...
"Mother" has been determined to be unsuccessful, and yesterday it rolled back to North America;
George Clooney is also out of the way, his "Maze" is star-studded and the team is luxurious: the Coen brothers are the screenwriters, starring Matt Damon and Julianne Moore, but unfortunately, "Maze" has no suspense or humor, only political correctness!
Being a director really requires talent, George Clooney has been with the Coen brothers for so long, and he is still that bear-like, but fortunately he didn't say, 'Drink with the Coen brothers, drink for a year, you still can't direct, you're just a pen'
Tsk, the American version of Zhang Jiajia...
"The First Lady", uh, was reviewed by "The Screen": The director's scheduling and editing, along with Natalie's embarrassing parody, was a complete disaster!
"Variety" even launched a poll: Natalie Portman and Jennifer Lawrence who will be the top seeds of next year's golden sour plum!
The most popular ones are "Three Billboards" and "Burst Drummer"!
"Three Billboards" is awesome!
Martin Macdonald is finally back to his level, and that year's "No Vacation for Killers" amazed Sundance!
After that, the level of "Seven Neurotics" and "National Guard" dropped very seriously, and "Three Billboards" has both first-class screenwriting skills and serious literature, and it is definitely a big hit for this year's Oscars!
It's just a little too grumpy, and the play involves many heavy social issues: racial discrimination, the clergy** problem, homophobia, judicial hegemony, the economic depression in the Midwest, the emotional crisis of the family, and the Middle East policy implied at the end.
Of course, the most obvious is what "Three Billboards" clearly states - the questioning of the ability of the police to act on behalf of public power.
In fact, what is scared is political correctness.
The "Best Picture Award" has a political bottom line - small criticism is okay, but it is actually a big help.
All rules have certain conditions: above fairness there is justice, and above justice there is humanity!
Humanitarianism is the basic factor for a film to win awards.
In the words of Mahoney, the PR manager, 'give it an actor award or a screenwriting award at most!'
……
"Director, are you ready for your acceptance speech?"
When he arrived at the location of the crew, Shen Ming quietly asked Damien, but only got a pair of white eyes.
The latter was nervously reciting his acceptance speech...
“… J· K. What do you think?"
"The award in Venice is of little use to me!"
J· K Simmons replied very practically...
Damn, these Yankees have a natural contempt for European film festivals...
In their opinion, as long as the award is not linked to the salary, it is fake!
It's clear that European awards really don't have too much of an impact on the remuneration of North American filmmakers...
Can't talk about a piece!
Shen Ming looked up and looked around, the scene of the award ceremony was a bit noisy, and people from all over the world were communicating in different languages.
The same world, the same dream, but not the same language, the yolk man is right: this is a serious waste of resources!
"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, it is a pleasure to see you here, and I would like to say that the festival should not only be a showcase for those films that will be released, but also a place of research and discovery. I think the festival should always remember its purpose, which is a place to discover new voices, new talents, and new forms of cinematic expression..."
"Venice is a 74-year-old film festival and we encourage avant-garde art!"
"There are directors who may be unknown and will not be competitive at the box office, but he is a real cinematic genius and I hope that with the platform of Venice, he will be better known to the world. ”
Alberto Barbera, the president of the film festival, plays the role of host, and Balabala keeps talking, which probably means that Venice is very awesome, and it is not easy for buddy to be the president, you will continue to come next year!
The venue is huge, with about 1,000 seats.
Shen Ming and his entourage were in the front position, and their English was difficult to understand, but it was not easy to blatantly slip away.
After ten minutes, Alberto finally finished and invited this year's jury to appear.
Eight directors, actors, and producers from different countries are lined up, and the momentum is upside down, but the reputation is a little inferior, and you think about the chairman of the jury, Annette Bening, who has not won an Oscar...
The awards ceremony has finally begun!
I thought that the European film sister would end soon, after all, there was no cabaret performance, I thought too much, there were many awards, and it was interspersed with all kinds of weird reviews and small projects.
The first ones to be awarded are some leftovers, what is the best repair piece, special mention, the lion of the future...
There are even the best VR movies, the best VR experiences...
Half an hour later it was the turn of the horizon unit ...
After an hour, it was finally time for the main competition!
First up was the Silver Lion, the Grand Jury Prize, which was announced by British director Edgar Wright: "Foxtrot"
Israeli Cinema...
Shen Ming clearly felt that Damien breathed a sigh of relief...
All the while, the media predicted: J· K won Best Actor, and "Burst Drummer" won the Grand Jury Prize.
But if you take the silver lion, it means that you have no chance with the golden lion, and Damien will come to Venice to aim for the highest honor!
Shen Ming also breathed a sigh of relief, if "Burst Drummer" won the Grand Jury Award, it would mean that he was out of play...
After all, the goal of public relations has always been the Golden Lion and the actor!
Sneaking a glance at J· K Simmons, the old guy bit his lip, not knowing what he was thinking, Shen Ming clearly felt a longing.
A sense of fulfillment and accomplishment in the pursuit of the ultimate in life.
Why do actors want to win awards?
In order to satisfy one's sense of accomplishment.
Good actors have their own pride, pride in their acting skills.
I work hard to act, torture myself, in addition to making money, more importantly, I want to prove that I am better than everyone else, and an authoritative award is the best way to prove my acting skills.
Shen Ming suddenly thought of when the Golden Globe Awards for Best Actor were awarded, and he was also very nervous...
Now, that tension is back in the picture!
