Chapter 481 captures the Golden Lion

Mark was invited again to attend the closing ceremony of the Venice International Film Festival, this time Mark and his wife Giselle came by private jet again, and after the momentum of Mark's team and the organizing committee, "No Country for Old Men" became the first hit among the 23 films.

Many judges did not shy away from his appreciation in public, calling it a rare and excellent American film in recent years, which is the clear stream of Hollywood where commercial blockbusters are rampant, and Mark is showing strong control and directing ability, compared with previous works, it is amazing.

In an interview at the entrance of the Palais du Cinema before attending the closing ceremony, Mark praised the principle of the supremacy of film art and praised Murray and Zhang Guoshi as rare talents.

When asked how sure he was of winning the award, Mark said modestly: "I did my best and sincerity to shoot "No Country for Old Men", whether I can win the award depends on whether the Seven Samurai appreciate it." "The Seven Samurai refer to the seven judges.

Giselle complained in a low voice when no one was around: "The old and helpless gods are far inferior to "Twilight", and they can actually win awards?"

Mark straightened his tie and said triumphantly, "What else am I going to do?"

The two generals of the MM group, Pascal and Daniel, led the crew to meet them, and they accompanied Mark into the main venue of the Cinema Palace, where they operated for half a month, to ensure that nothing went wrong, but also to ensure that there would be no problems, and now they are following their boss Mark, step by step to the throne of king.

The result is also not very suspenseful, "No Country for Old Men" won four awards, including Best Cinematography, Best Screenplay, Best Actor and the supreme Golden Lion Award, which is the biggest winner.

In the original version, the Golden Lion Award is Ang Lee's "Lust and Caution" to win the Golden Lion Award, which is not only the third consecutive championship for a Chinese director, but also the third director to win the Golden Lion twice after Louis Mahler and Zhang Yimou.

De Palma's "Excerpt Revision" won the Silver Lion for Best Director.

Cate Blanchet won the Best Actress award for her brilliant performance of the folk singer Bob Dylan in the latter, and Cate Bratchett vividly portrayed Dylan's intellectual arrogance with a big pop head shape, black sunglasses, a thin cigar, and a weak figure that was popular in the sixties.

Hollywood handsome guy Brad Pitt was crowned emperor for "Assassination of the Sharpshooter".

Ken Loach, who won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival last year with "The Wind Blows the Rice Waves", is naturally not optimistic, and with similar creative works, he will be affirmed by Venice again, and a best screenplay can be regarded as an explanation for this 71-year-old respectable old man.

Now the Golden Lion, Best Actor and Best Screenplay, and Best Cinematography all go to Mark's "No Country for Old Men", and Ang Lee's "Lust and Caution" won the Silver Lion for Best Director.

The Venice Film Festival has always been fond of sharing cakes and keeping guests entertained, and it is a surprise that they are now exclusively interested in "No Country for Old Men", and their move is also seen as a flattering invitation to Hollywood.

This move was very successful, and the MM Group, which had received the benefits, pulled in thirty or forty media outlets to fully publicize and report on the matter, and the Bertelsmann Group, the largest media group in Europe, fully advocated it, and completely achieved the expected success.

First of all, Hollywood welcomes it, everyone in Hollywood until the dog's brain comes out, and now overseas, and sympathize with each other, a person's victory, on behalf of everyone's victory, the same as a member of the Midi, everyone has honor.

Therefore, after Mark won the award, he had a celebration party and invited eight other Chinese from the United States to participate, and they happily agreed.

This is the first time Mark has won an international heavyweight award, and although there are many shady tricks and deals behind the scenes, he is very beautiful in front of the stage, and he is very excited and excited: "I am very excited, this is the first time for me, just like before I got married. ”

The audience laughed and applauded warmly, and the award ceremony was broadcast by MM TV Network, and the director of the scene quickly gave Giselle a close-up, and she was also laughing and applauding.

Mark is in a good mood with the best screenplay in his left hand and the Golden Lion trophy in his right, saying: "Maybe tonight will disappoint Giselle, I may sleep with the trophies in my arms." ”

The audience laughed even more happily and happily, and to their warm applause, many whistled violently, and Giselle bent over with laughter.

Mark continued: "I am deeply honored to thank the Venice Film Festival for giving me this award, and I would like to thank all the crew members, especially Javier, for giving you such a strange hairstyle and causing you to be beaten, and Heath, you were bitten by a dog, it was completely my fault, and the other crew members, it is everyone's unremitting efforts that will make "No Country for Old Men" appear, thank you, I love you." ”

This is Mark's acceptance speech, "No Country for Old Men" was favored alone, and there was no uproar among the media and public opinion, this is because MM is one of the media giants, and the tragedy and embarrassment of Mark when he made this movie also spread to Europe, since Mark and his team, with an artistic heart, worked so hard and miserable to make this work, and did not get any box office help, then it is acceptable to take one or two awards as a reward, Bi Jing "No Country for Old Men" The quality of this film is here, it is a rare masterpiece, and the organizing committee of the Venice Film Festival favors it, and it is not a big upset.

After winning the award, Mark participated in the media conference organized by the organizing committee, took photos with the winners, answered questions from reporters, and then celebrated the party.

The news of Mark's award was transmitted back to the United States, and the domestic entertainment circle was also a sensation, Europe is the box office of the United States films, although it has almost become a colony of the United States films, but it still holds up the shelves of old Europe, opening art, closing the mouth, and contempt for the United States films, now it is okay, the Venice Film Festival, which is known for its art films, has once again been captured by the American filmmakers, and it is worth boasting to see what the Europeans have to boast about.

After visiting the official celebrations, Mark organized several large parties in the name of the company, he had a venue, his own luxury villa, the superyacht Giselle, and was willing to make friends with him and discuss the film together, and he also donated money to the organizing committee of the film festival as promised, so that they had enough funds to restart the reconstruction of the film palace.

In addition, Muller successfully raised more than 50 million euros for the construction of the new Cinema Palace, with a budget of 77 million euros for the construction of the new Cinema Palace, which will start next year, in 2011, will officially replace the old Cinema Palace, which was built in the Mussolini era, Muller's term ends at the end of this year, but a few days ago, Italian Culture Minister Francesco Rutli issued a statement announcing that Muller would remain in office, and said that the Italian government intends to increase funding for the Biennale and the Venice Film Festival.

Muller is only now letting go of his heart, a few days ago, he was a grandson every day, exhausted his face, exhausted his connections, and only then did he convince the seven masters to achieve his goal, this kind of hard work, in exchange for today's re-election, if the re-election fails, he wants to die.

But now he is successfully re-elected, and he has caught up with the tycoon of Mark, which can be regarded as a successful boil out, and now he is considered a face-saving person in the Ministry of Culture.

After Mark successfully won the Golden Lion Award, he went home after a few days of good scenery in Italy, this time they came with their son, and they simply went back after a few days of family play, this is the advantage of having a private jet, you can go if you want, it is very convenient, and now Martin likes to play with his parents very much.

Little Martin can't speak yet, but he has just learned to walk, he has just learned to walk, his two calves are full of strength, as long as he gets in bed together, he loves to walk all over the house, slowly learns to trot, all day long is a crazy house full of madness, and when he arrives on the street, he is more cheerful like a fish in the sea, if it weren't for Mark and Giselle grabbing his hand, I'm afraid I don't know where to run.

Mark watched his son grow up day by day, finally learned to walk, and his heart was full of happiness and relief.

When the news that Mark's "No Country for Old Men" won four awards at the Venice Film Festival came back to the United States, Hollywood was jubilant, and the critics had an expected expression, they gave praise for "No Country for Old Men" and deserved to win the award, and the Venice International Film Festival still has a bit of weight in the critics' circles, although the borders are different and the circles are different, but they agree with the supremacy of art at the Venice International Film Festival, and no commercial blockbuster can benefit here.

And the theater companies are also excited, this "No Country for Old Men" has four awards at the Venice Film Festival, and its value has risen sharply, so why don't you immediately expand the release and make a lot of money?

For example, the original version of "Lust and Caution" was accused of being incomprehensible and cold at the box office in the domestic release, and "Lust and Caution" not only formed unprecedented expectations in advance after winning the award, but it was even rumored that the scale of modification was relaxed as a result. Although it didn't turn out to be that way, the box office success made the film, which was defined as NG-13 in the United States, a box office hit, and eventually evolved into a cultural event rarely seen in recent years.

Many movies with bad box office will also stimulate the box office if there are some awards, but MM officials have no idea of expanding the release at present, which makes the theater companies angry and scolding their mothers.

The summer smoke has dissipated, the box office market has turned weak, if there is a big-selling movie on the market, the stimulation of the market is self-evident, and Mark's works are basically big sellers, this one has an unprecedented Venice International Film Festival with four awards, and it is not flying?
