Chapter 164: Best Picture of the Horizon Unit [Four Watches]
[PS: Thank you book friends - the monthly pass of the former Zheng Yi handsome guy, thank you for your support.] 】
……………………
In the hall of the award ceremony, Wang Meng sat down with both helplessness and a wry smile.
I should have thought about it a long time ago, even if I was nominated, even if I was shortlisted for the final Golden Lion Award, the seating arrangement was always an inconsequential direction.
Zhang Lantian and Jia Zhangke didn't think about it so much.
The two of them are nervous now, and Zhang Lantian also experienced the scene just now.
Even if he is scheming, he can't solve the situation just now, who would have thought that it would come so suddenly, who would have thought that Wang Meng would refute it so enthusiastically.
Actually, Zhang Lantian was thinking that if he had just treated Allen's words as if he hadn't heard them, and pretended to be a grandson like this, then these things would not have happened.
Zhang Lantian glanced at Wang Meng, although Wang Meng's expression at this moment was very strict, but that firm and persistent gaze could not be wrong.
So, if what happened just now is repeated, Wang Meng will still stand up, it seems that he thinks of pretending to be a grandson is not valid.
Zhang Lantian shook his head helplessly, just like Wang Meng said just now, it was too late to say this.
The only hope now is to win!
If you win an award, you can say anything.
Not to mention that it is easy to level Allen, and moreover, take this opportunity Wang Meng and DreamWorks to grow even stronger.
But if it fails, not to mention that Wang Menghe and the company will sink, the blow will be very big, at least let DreamWorks' nearly a year of hard work be wasted.
"Director Wang, I didn't do well just now, I should say those words." After thinking about it and not finding an answer, Zhang Lantian said regretfully.
Wang Meng understood what Zhang Lantian meant, Zhang Lantian was blaming himself for being slow to react, and he should have answered Allen's malicious insult first.
In that way, even if Zhang Lantian said exactly the same thing as Wang Meng, it would be fine. It's a big deal to resign or keep a low profile for a few years, so as not to hinder the company's development and public opinion.
However, Wang Meng is different, the pillar of the company, Wang Meng collapsed, and DreamWorks collapsed ninety%.
The value ratio of the two, the comparison of public opinion, and the actual ratio are too far apart.
"Whatever your business, it's useless to talk about it. Don't think about anything now, just do what it should be, maybe we'll make it? Life is always unpredictable, isn't it? Wang Meng smiled rarely.
"Hehe......" Zhang Lantian smiled bitterly when he was driven by Wang Meng, but the smile was a little ugly.
"I hope so!"
"Okay, let's get started, it's useless to say anything else, just face it if you can't choose." Wang Meng said.
At 19:30 in Venice, the award ceremony began.
The jury of the 63rd Venice Film Festival is composed of six judges, including famous Hollywood director and producer Cameron Crow, Italian actor and director Miguel Prachido, Korean director Park Chan-wook, Spanish director Bigas Luna, Portuguese producer Paulo Blanco, and Russian actress Chupan Hamadova.
The winner of this year's Venice Film Festival Golden Lion Award and other awards in the competition section will be decided under the leadership of the President of the Jury, the famous French actress Catherine Deneuve.
The six international juries were nominated by Marco Müller, President of the Venice Film Festival, and approved by Davide Klov, President of the Venice Biennale.
The closing speech and the theme of the award ceremony are the same at home and abroad, all of which are praised.
Fortunately, Wang Meng's English is very good and can be understood.
Next comes the main course.
There are also many stars from China, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan who participated in the award ceremony.
However, these people were not familiar with the relationship with Wang Meng, so they just reluctantly said hello and nodded their heads.
These people don't know about what happened to Wang Meng on the red carpet before.
In fact, only a small number of certain reporters knew about the scene just now and recorded it, and the stars on the red carpet didn't know much.
After all, they hadn't watched the live broadcast and didn't know something like this had happened.
Among the previous awards, Zhang Yuan won the Robert Bryson Award on September 5, which was the first award won by this Chinese filmmaker.
When I came back home a few days ago. It also caused a sensation.
Not all awards are announced on September 10, and some unimportant awards will be presented every day from August 30 to September 9.
As for this Zhang Yuan, he is also a wonder, he has been arrested for drug abuse twice since then, and he has been taught repeatedly, it can be said that he is a typical representative of degeneration, and now is his most glorious moment.
On September 10, the 10 most important awards were announced: the Golden Lion for Best Film, the Silver Lion for Best Director, the Silver Lion for "New Discovery", the Special Jury Award, the Best Actor, the Best Actress, the Best Screenplay, the Best Technical Contribution Award, the Best Film in the Horizon Unit, and the Lifetime Achievement Award.
The previous life may have been different, and this is the case with the Venice International Film Festival in this life.
The first Lifetime Achievement Award was issued, and the winner of the Lifetime Achievement Award was made by David Lynch, a director from the United States.
This sixty-year-old man said it with emotion. This person's film work is not very well-known, and now he has won the Lifetime Achievement Award, which is indeed worth congratulating.
The second award is the best film in the Horizon unit, which has the participation of Chinese films, and it is also one of the film festivals in China with high expectations.
In CCTV's live broadcast room, Bai Yansong just spent a scene of Wang Meng very skillfully.
Now, seeing that the awards with the participation of domestic films are coming, Bai Yansong has mobilized the atmosphere.
"The next step for the audience is the award of this year's 'Horizon Unit Best Film Award', my country's film "Court on Horseback" was nominated for this award, and the film was directed by Liu Jie......"
"Professor Ma, what do you think of "Court on Horseback"?" Bai Yansong asked.
Professor Ma said without thinking: ["The film tells the story of Lao Feng, a grassroots judge in the mountainous areas of Yunnan, riding a horse and carrying the national emblem, crossing the mountains and mountains to judge cases for the mountain people. 7 days walked 3 villages, broke 5 trivial household chores, and finally he was overtired and fell off the cliff to his death......
The portrayal of Mr. Li Baotian in the film ......"]
These critics and professors have studied the film thoroughly before, so they are easy to come.
In the end, Professor Ma said: "In short, I am very optimistic about this film. As for the result, I am sure, but I am not sure. ”
"Well, it's revealed, who won the award?" Bai Yansong stared at the live broadcast machine and said quickly.
And the award scene in Venice ......
"It was ...... who won the 63rd 'Horizon Best Film Award'"
"Court on Horseback - from China, congratulations."
As the awarders read out their names, CCTV's live broadcast room and the audience in front of the TV were boiling.
At the scene, Liu Jie, the director of "Court on Horseback", was uncontrollable with excitement, and finally adjusted his mentality, and slowly walked onto the podium after accepting the congratulations of Wang Meng and others as well as filmmakers from Hong Kong and Taiwan......
