As one of Hollywood's top actors, Brad Pitt has been called "male vase" and "little fresh meat" since his debut.

Relying on his handsome and incomparable appearance, he soon entered the Hollywood 10 million salary club and became a top international actor.

But also because of his handsomeness, he can only get one nomination at the highest in professional awards such as the Golden Globe Awards and Oscars, and has become a professional escort in the eyes of everyone.

Since his debut, the only title he has won is at the Venice Film Festival in 1993 for his performance in "California Killer".

Therefore, the Venice Film Festival has always had a special meaning for him.

The reason why he is willing to attend the film festival this time is that he learned through some channels that he has a great chance of winning the trophy of the actor.

Although the Venice Film Festival is far less influential than the Oscars and Golden Globes, it is also a highly professional film award anyway.

is always able to make those nasty film critics criticize his acting skills a little less.

Just when everyone thought that the big picture was decided, the host took the stage.

"The next award will be given to the Best Actor. ”

The award presenter walked onto the stage and slowly pulled out the envelope in his hand.

The audience suddenly fell silent.

The elderly award presenter seems to be deliberately whetting everyone's appetite.

He drew the envelope, slowly pulled out a pair of glasses from his pocket, and said in a very slow pace:

"Best Actor at the 64th Venice Film Festival, Peng ...... of "Shocking Black Gold"

Peng Yichen didn't pay attention to the situation on the stage at all at this time, he whispered to Yu Jing with a relaxed face.

The moment his name was pronounced, he again did not react.

The last time it was because he was asleep, this time because he didn't listen to what was being said on stage at all.

Zhou Jianhao heard it very clearly, he stood up excitedly, pulled up Peng Yichen, who was full of stunned faces, and hugged him with all his might.

Yu Jing also reacted at this time, pulled Peng Yichen with a face full of surprise, gave him another hug, and kissed him excitedly.

The interpreter and tour guide next to him all jumped up and slapped their hands with all their might.

They didn't expect that this crew, which only had three people participating in the exhibition, would finally be able to win the crown of the actor.

Being able to get along with an actor for so many days may be a glorious deed that they can brag about for the rest of their lives.

Brad Pett, who was sitting in the first row, was still smiling confidently just now, but now his face was black and blue.

Fortunately, the awards ceremony of the Venice Film Festival was not as commercial as the Oscars, and his expression at this moment was not projected on the big screen.

Otherwise, tomorrow's entertainment headlines of the world's major media will definitely be "Brad Pitt has no grace, after losing the actor, his face is like a concubine".

Although there are not many people in the audience who know Peng Yichen, they know that the Venice Film Festival has always preferred films with high artistry.

So it's not a very strange thing that a commercial movie superstar like Brad Pitt didn't win the Best Actor trophy.

The audience spontaneously stood up and gave Peng Yichen a warm applause.

Peng Yichen only reacted at this time that he really won the best actor at the Venice Film Festival.

In the last second, he thought it must be Brad Pitt winning the award, and he was ready to applaud and smile.

He could never have imagined that the judges of the Venice Film Festival would finally give this award to himself.

An actor who is completely unfamiliar to the Western film industry, a political satire. The actor of the Thorn and the Society's group movie was able to win the best actor in the three major European film festivals?

It can't be said that there has never been such a genius, for example, Xia Yu won the Venice actor with "Sunny Days" when he was 18 years old.

Another example is Taylor Pucci, who later broke the record for the youngest winner of the Berlin Film Festival.

They have an innate ability to be rooted in the image and burst into brilliance.

Peng Yichen should also be regarded as such a genius, after all, he has the acting experience accumulated in his previous life, and the help of the 'golden finger' of the plot world.

But if you want to win the actor, you must not only look at the strength of the performance, but also many other factors other than the movie, and even some luck in it.

Maybe the theme of "Shocking Black Gold" is not what Westerners like to see, and maybe this movie is relatively immature in terms of directing techniques and shooting skills.

But Peng Yichen's performance has indeed supported the soul and skeleton of the whole film, coupled with the help of luck factors such as Chen Guozhong as the chairman of the jury and the good reputation accumulated by Chinese films at European film festivals over the years.

In the end, he won an unexpected actor award.

Of course, it would be better if he could be the actor of the Yanhuang Film Festival or the Academy Awards.

That is Peng Yichen's ultimate pursuit.

Under the watchful eye, Peng Yichen stood on the stage again, with a surprised smile on his face, looking so handsome, and even a little cute.

He steadied himself and said slowly:

"Thank you, thank you to the judges for giving me recognition of my performance. To be honest, I am still a rookie actor in the European and American film industry. Although I have already starred in 7 film and television dramas in Huaxia, "Shocking Black Gold" is the first work I starred in to be seen by Western audiences. I want to thank all the people who helped me, every staff member of the crew, Zhou Jianhao and Brother Hao for their great help to this movie, my parents, and my girlfriend ......"

His testimonial is not too long, because he is very excited, and his brain is a little sluggish in reaction and thinking speed.

It wasn't until all the testimonials were finished that he realized that he was holding the trophy of the actor in his hand.

An actor can meet several good roles in his life, and no one can say clearly.

Peng Yichen is backed by a large number of classic movies in his previous life, so he can freely choose the classic roles he wants to perform.

But classic roles don't necessarily bring awards.

For example, Tim Robbins in "The Shawshank Redemption" in his previous life, such as Xiao Lizi, who has been running the Oscars for 20 years.

A character is classic enough and lucky enough to eventually help an actor win the Best Actor crown for a professional film award.

For Peng Yichen, this experience is like carving a mark on his life path that will never disappear.

He can confidently say that he is a good actor, and he has truly left his footprints in the history of world cinema.

When Peng Yichen walked off the stage, he was very happy, but he suddenly became lost and frightened.

He was afraid that if he couldn't play a classic role like 'Zhou Chaoxian' in the future, what would he do?

Or he basically performed such a classic role, but like many escort professionals, he can only stop at nominations at top film awards such as the Yanhuang Film Festival and the Oscars, what should he do?

He has always been calm, but he has become troubled by gains and losses.

Sitting in his seat, he rubbed his face with his hand, there was no joy of winning the award, since he was still a little lonely.

Yu Jing felt that his emotions were a little trachea, and when she saw him rubbing his face, she couldn't help pursing her lips.

She took the trophy in Peng Yichen's hand and said with a smile: "How many actors dream of winning the trophy of an actor in their lives, but they just want to prove that they are great actors." But in the end, it is the work and the audience's love that are the most real. Don't be carried away by such a small Venetian actor. ”

The speaker is unintentional, the listener is intentional, Peng Yichen suddenly figured out that great performances and classic movies are what he pursues, and those are not what the awards can fully represent.

Awards are just a bonus to a great performance.

Letting go of the gains and losses in his heart, Peng Yichen finally showed a bright smile, and he said to Yu Jing and Zhou Jianhao: "I have a treat tonight to celebrate that I won the actor, and we will not return if we are not drunk." ”

Zhou Jianhao laughed and said, "No problem!"

The interpreter next to him answered, "Will we be able to join in your celebration?"

Peng Yichen smiled: "Of course, tonight, let's all celebrate happily together." ”

After saying this, Peng Yichen straightened up his body, feeling extremely relaxed all over his body.

Whether he can get the following awards or not, he is no longer worried.

The Best Director Award presented next, like the one introduced earlier by the translator, won the Best New Director Award for "Shocking Black Gold", but it did not win this award.

In the end, the winner of the Best Director Award went to Brian de Parma, the director of "Excerpts Revised".

And the next award, the winning film of the Silver Lion Award, is still "Excerpt Revision".

Among the three major European film festivals, Venice and Berlin have an unwritten rule that the winner of the top prize generally does not win another important award.

For example, a work that won the Venice Golden Lion Award, no matter how good a film is, will not award the Best Director and the Golden Lion Award to the same film. Instead, it will be deferred to the film with the second highest number of votes as a commendation.

This is because the festival itself is a gathering place for films, and they want to be able to reward more high-quality productions, so that film lovers can enjoy different productions.

In particular, most of the people participating in the festival are niche works of art, and they need to be rewarded by the festival to raise their awareness, which is also one of the responsibilities of the Venice Film Festival: to gradually continue the vitality of art films.

Of course, this kind of rule is not explicitly stipulated, not mandatory to implement, the most important thing is to look at the special circumstances of each year.

"Excerpt Revision" won the Best Director Award and the Silver Lion Award, and the final Golden Lion Award naturally missed this movie.

The final Golden Bear Award was unexpectedly awarded to Li An's "City of Eros".

The last lifetime achievement award went to Tim Burton and Bernardo Bertolucci.

So far, the 64th Venice Film Festival has come to a complete end.
