Chapter 145 Dragon Soars to Venice
When the two were talking very eagerly, the lights in the hall suddenly dimmed, and a burst of light flickered on the stage.
"Gentlemen and ladies, welcome to the 42nd Venice International Film Festival, today, at this moment, outstanding filmmakers from all over the world gather together, it is really a ...... event in the world of film", as the master of ceremonies Wei Han continued to pave the way, making the atmosphere lively and laughter.
The current master of ceremonies is not as varied as later generations. At this time, the emcee's responsibilities are relatively simple, that is, to introduce the award guests, unlike later generations, the emcee at each award ceremony will try his best to adjust the atmosphere of the scene, or witty words, or malicious ridicule, in short, the more lively and interesting the award ceremony, the more successful.
However, the current Venice Film Festival has not maintained his own solemn surname like later generations, so when the emcee Weihan finished his opening remarks, Kriyantov Zanussi, as the chairman of the jury, walked on the stage and announced the official start of the Venice Film Festival awards ceremony
"The Young Venice Award β Special Mention was awarded to Laurence Castle for Armageddon and Robert Zemeckis for Back to the Future! Congratulations to both! Congratulations!! β
"Congratulations to Manuel de Oliveira for the success of the Sergio Trasati Award for the !!---- of Satin Shoes, congratulations to Manuel de Oliveira for the success of this film"
"The works that won the Special Golden Lion Award are ----- Manuel de Oliveira and John Houston, congratulations to the two !!"
As the heavyweight awards were announced, the hall burst into cheers, and the films that won awards at the Venice Film Festival were not surprisingly a very rare work, and because they were all shown at the Venice Film Festival in two weeks, the filmmakers and the audience at the scene were applauded.
In the 80s, the gold content of film awards was very high, and winning the award was definitely the most anticipated thing for all filmmakers present.
Wei Han straightened his clothes and smiled: "Next, we are about to announce the Best Actor, let's welcome the award presenter Ichikawa Kun." β
"I'm really happy to see that there are so many heroes in the film industry now, especially this time there is one from the East." Ichikawa Kun said with a happy face.
Although he didn't understand what he was saying, but knowing that it was the Best Actor, Liang Jiahui looked at the stage very nervously, knowing that this was his first time on the international stage, and if he won the award, it would undoubtedly be of great help to his artistic path.
Tearing open the envelope and taking out the note, Ichikawa Kun suddenly laughed, but looked a little sentimental and said: ""Police" Gerald. Depardieu! β
"Your uncle" Liang Jiahui scolded secretly in his heart, but his expression was still calm, and he pretended to smile, you must know that this can't be a bad performance, otherwise you will be embarrassed and thrown to your grandmother's house.
Next, the Silver Lion for Best Picture was awarded to Dusit Marion. Hansel got it, and the best director was taken away by the Italian film "Tango, Gardel's Banishment", and now Li Yihua has not won the first prize, and his heart is full of frustration.
When the award was presented to the last two most important awards, everyone on the scene held their breath nervously, everyone knew that the final competition for the grand prize would definitely be very fierce, and everyone wanted to know that the two most important awards of this year's two major awards were finally **!
Li Yihua and others looked lonely, and there were only two awards left at the Venice Film Festival, the Golden Lion Award for Lifetime Achievement and the Golden Lion Award. Among them, Li Yihua is only one of them, if they haven't won the award, then they really have returned home!
"Yi Shao, it doesn't matter, in fact, in everyone's hearts, your movie has been affirmed!"
"Yes, Yi Shao, it's okay, "Chainsaw" as the opening film, has received 3 more nominations, and we have succeeded!"
"Movies, they can't deny it, if I don't win the award, then obviously I'm denied." Li Yihua exhaled and said helplessly.
"Don't worry, Ah Hua, you will definitely succeed! ...... who will definitely be able to win the award" Wang Zhuxian felt the tension in Li Yihua's heart, and couldn't help but whisper softly to comfort him in his ear, a pair of beautiful eyes were full of concern, and his small hand gently pinched Li Yihua's generous big hand, comforting him with his own practical actions.
"Don't worry, I'm fine, besides, the Golden Lion Award hasn't been awarded yet, and it's not certain who will die." Covering her small hands with her big hands, Li Yihua took a deep breath and said confidently, it is not his real surname to give up halfway.
While they were talking, the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement was won by Federico Fellini, and then the Venice Film Festival's top prize.
Wei Han walked on the stage again, smiled standardly, and said: "Now that the award ceremony is going on, a few families are happy and some are worried, no matter what, I believe everyone is the winner." Now it's time for the Golden Lion to be awarded, and the president of the jury, Kritov Zanussi, is invited! β
Kritov Zanussi slowly walked onto the stage, picked up the microphone, and a magnetic voice rang out.
"I am honored to be the President of the Jury of the Venice Film Festival, and I am honored to have this honor, and thank you for your trust in us!"
Kritov Zanussi bowed respectfully to the audience!
Kerrytov Zanussi's sincere words made the audience and filmmakers below sigh with emotion, and they all offered their applause to show their respect for him and thank the jury for this time.
"When I was judging, I kept asking myself, what do we want for the film, what is my standard, what is the standard of the Venice Film Festival! My companion and I were thinking about itβ"
"Hehe, if you are not in your position, you will not seek your own government! But I think that the existence of the Venice Film Festival is to give all films a platform, which has nothing to do with any other elements, this is the pure land of films, and sincerity, creation and discussion are the film spirit of the Venice Film Festival! Innovation is the driving force of films, movies are readable, and movies don't need politics! β
"When judging the second Venetian film, we withstood the pressure from all sides, I can say that this is our victory, this is what we insist on, cinema, the pure land of the soul, politics go away! I announce that the Golden Lion, the highest honor at the 42nd Venice International Film Festival, will beβ" Kritov Zanussi glanced at the list of winners with excitement, and suddenly threw the list aside with a sigh of relief, exclaiming: "Chainsaw!! β
