Chapter 719: Silver Lion Award for Best Director
Life is like a play, and sometimes, this sentence is not wrong at all.
When such a bloody TV series plot really happened to him, Kiyoshi Sakamoto had to recognize the authenticity of the phrase "creation comes from life"...
Because Kiyoshi Sakamoto called Shin Ogawa, he learned about this scandal from his mouth, and he also understood why, in the early hours of the morning, Yui Aragaki suddenly called and cried.
In the final analysis, I was stimulated by the scandalous photos of my boyfriend and Mai Shiraishi.
When Aragaki Yui saw the photo of Kiyoshi Sakamoto and Mai Shiraishi alone in the restaurant, a strong sense of betrayal suddenly came to her heart.
She directly thought that Sakamoto was hiding from her girlfriend and dating the idol of her own group!
Pedal two boats, this is still a good thing?!
With her character who has always been spoiled by Sakamoto Kiyoshi, it is normal to call Sakamoto Kiyoshi directly in the middle of the night and scold him directly. . .
Knowing where things came about, it would be much easier.
Scandals, in the final analysis, are just speculations without real evidence.
Moreover, as mentioned earlier, in the Japanese entertainment industry, it is not too unusual for the company's senior management to lead its artists to activities.
Just like the last time he had an affair with Nengnian Reina, he just had a separate meal with his own artists, and celebrated his birthday by the way.
Even if a photo of the two eating together is photographed, it does not mean that Kiyoshi Sakamoto and Mai Shiraishi have a leg.
Before the real hammer is taken out, everything is in vain!
Since Kiyoto Sakamoto is not in Japan, he cannot personally clarify this incident.
In the end, he had no intention of sleeping, and in the middle of the night, he asked the employees of Sony's public relations department to "do it" directly on the phone, and quickly issued a clarification statement.
In the statement, Sony said, "The two are good friends who have known each other for a long time, and they are also Nogizaka's superiors and subordinates, in order to celebrate their good friend's birthday, isn't it normal to have a meal?"
Reading between the lines, it seems to be mocking the fuss of the media and gossip magazines.
Although that being said, lonely men and widows, eating alone and celebrating birthdays together, still made the public smell a trace of extraordinary.
Gossip magazines immediately speculated on all kinds, some speculated that Sakamoto Kiyoshi and Mai Shiraishi fell in love at first sight and had been dating in private for a long time;
As soon as the statement came out, the scandal that I thought would subside would be settled, but it became more and more intense like adding fuel to the fire!
All kinds of discussions from the outside world, Sakamoto Kiyoshi who is far away in Italy, naturally can't hear it, and he has no time to pay attention to it.
What he cares about is not what the outside world thinks of him, but what Yui Aragaki thinks.
However, since the last fatal serial CALL, it seems that Aragaki Yui is still sulking, and even if the phone is turned on, he is reluctant to answer Sakamoto Kiyoshi's call.
This made Sakamoto Kiyoya have to put this matter aside for the time being, and continue to leave as good a memory as possible for his first international film festival trip.
。。。。。。
A few days later.
It was September 10th, seven o'clock in the evening.
This water city event has finally ushered in the moment of the curtain.
I have to say that the quality of the films in this year's competition unit can be described as the best in the Venice Film Festival in recent years.
This can be seen from the scoring situation on the scoring website of the house magazine.
Out of 10 points, there are six movies with a score of 7 or more, five movies with a score of 6 or more, and only three movies with a score of 5 or less!
Among them, Polanski's "God of Killing" is far ahead with a high score of 8 points, three five-star and 10 four-star ratings, and is even called by the media as a "wonderful work that shines with wisdom all the time".
and Philippe Garrel, who won the Venice Award for Best Director, directed "Hot Summer" with a score of 3.4.
As for Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who was shortlisted for the first time, directed "I Heard that Kirishima is going to retire", with a score of 7.1, two five-stars, and nine four-stars, ranking in the top five of the rating list, it also made everyone in Venice remember that among the many veteran directors and Hollywood stars, the young Asian face.
For the media and the audience, it was a delightful festival for the eyes.
However, what everyone didn't expect was that in the results of the award, it was a big surprise:
Russian director Alexander Sokolov's German-language film "Faust" was undisputed and crowned the Golden Lion for Best Picture amid a burst of praise from critics!
Michael Fassbender, the star of the British film "Shame", and Ye Dexian, the star of the Hong Kong film "Sister Peach", were undisputed as the actor and queen.
And "God of Killing", which conquered all the audience from the day of the premiere and has always been the champion of the field magazine score, has not received anything.
However, judging from the fact that none of the film's main creators appeared on the closing red carpet, many people probably guessed that this very high-quality and well-received film only ended up empty-handed after all.
However, "Faust" defeated "God of Killing" and won the Golden Lion, which was not the most surprising thing of the night.
After all, "Faust" deliberately uses anamorphic lenses and a large number of filters in the film to create a dreamy and evil fairy tale feeling, and each picture is like a work of the 18th century Dutch school, which is very revolutionary style, and it is also highly praised by the chairman of the jury, Darren Aronofsky, and it is not surprising that the award was awarded.
However, the Italian film "Inland" unexpectedly won the Grand Jury Prize, which was booed by a lot of media.
Not only that, when director Emmanuelle delivered his acceptance speech on stage, there were reporters in the audience who said cool things one after another.
Speaking of which, they prefer films such as "God of Killing", "Shame", "Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy" more than the well-made "Inland".
With the upset of "Inland", the next Silver Lion Award for Best Director has made the media psychologically prepared.
When the judges read out the name of "Sakamoto Kiyoshi", not only the audience and the media, but even Sakamoto Kiyoshi himself showed a surprised expression.
Fortunately, what the movie "I Heard that Kirishima is going to retire" got was not the boos of "Inland", but kindness and encouraging applause.
Especially when Kiyoshi Sakamoto stood on the stage, holding the silver lion, and delivering his acceptance speech, the foreign audience and the media in the audience also listened quietly, completely giving enough face.
Also, as a young director who is only 21 years old, the shooting skills and lens use shown in the film are not inferior to other veteran directors who have been immersed in this for many years.
Coupled with the bonus points of age, the award is well deserved.
"Although it was very unexpected, I am very happy that my work can be recognized by everyone. This award is the greatest compliment to me and the entire crew!"
"Thank you!"
Finally, the 68th Venice International Film Festival, which coexisted with upsets and dark horses, came to an end with a wave of applause and boos...
