Chapter 199: The Emperor's Capital (Monthly Pass Plus 20/27)

Although the Oscar Film Festival is also global, it is highly regional and has a strong personality.

If you want to be shortlisted for the main competition, the conditions are very demanding.

There are many films in China that are so-called shortlisted for the Oscars, but in fact, the shortlisted is the small branch of the best foreign language film, which is very light.

Therefore, only the people of the United States themselves value the Oscars more.

The rest of the world is most interested in these three major film festivals in Europe, which are inclusive of all rivers and rivers, treat any film fairly, and are naturally very popular.

The heaviest of these three film festivals is the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival, which is the largest in the world.

The oldest is the Venice International Film Festival.

"Dongzi, you go too, you don't know how miserable we were last time, and we can't even find someone who can speak Chinese." Du Qixi wanted to pull Lin Dong along.

It was difficult to find Lin Dong last time, but Lin Dong didn't participate in the show after all.

This time, Lin Dong is the starring role, so it's no problem to go to the film festival together.

"No, it's an international film festival." Lin Dong didn't believe it.

"That's true, I'll make a temporary call to ship one from China." Du Qixi complained.

"What's the use of looking for me, that's Italy, I don't speak Italian." Lin Dong was helpless, this thing should not think that all foreigners speak English.

"Just English, Fuyuko, that's Venice, the most romantic city in the world, with the hottest chicks."

Three days later, Lin Dong and Du Qixi had already appeared in the Venetian dinghy.

Everything went smoothly.

I received a phone call from here, and learned that the director was Du Qixi, and the movie was made about the survival and love of a group of blind people, so I immediately invited it.

They'd better take this one.

You make movies that are too normal, and they don't like them yet.

To tell the truth, with a "New Road" that won the Golden Tiger Award, Du Qixi's status in the international film industry definitely surpasses Xu Lang and Ning Hai.

And the official website of the film festival over there also immediately updated this news.

Mr. Du, the Chinese director who filmed "New Road", will join the Venice Film Festival family with his new work "Tuina".

The Venice Film Festival has changed its seats this time.

The predecessor is Mark Mueller, who is the first person to promote Chinese films to the world.

During his years, the Venice Film Festival produced one or two Chinese films every year to win awards, including many heavyweight awards.

The director most favored by the Venice International Film Festival is Zhang Luo.

Zhang Luo, who became famous from "Sorghum Field", almost every film made in the 90s was shortlisted for the Venice International Film Festival.

To others, being shortlisted is nothing.

In terms of awards alone, he has won the Golden Lion Award twice and the Silver Lion Award twice.

The new bamboo mat is Bernardo Bertolucci.

This person's name is very long and not easy to remember, but for him, Chinese filmmakers are no strangers.

He was the first foreign director to be allowed to shoot a film on location in the Forbidden City in Beijing.

That's right, this movie is "Forbidden Dusk".

In addition to this, there is an acquaintance here.

Jiang Xiaojun!

Speaking of this person, he is also very good.

However, he is also known as the worst Chinese at the Venice Film Festival.

How miserable is it?

filmed as a director, and the actor won the actor in Venice.

When he goes up to act by himself, the director who is filming can win the best director.

The prize is not given to you!

He is a frequent visitor to the Venice Film Festival, but every time he goes, he returns empty-handed, so he is called the worst director in China.

Jiang Xiaojun appeared at the Venice International Film Festival as a member of the jury this time.

A domestic film was shortlisted.

Of course, it was impossible for him not to see it, and he was very enthusiastic to take his wife to pick him up.

In addition, the fact that this movie can be shortlisted is inseparable from his hard recommendation.

Du Qixi was almost blown into the second Zhang Luo by him.

At this time, the four of them sat in a hired dinghy and headed to the Lido, the venue of the Venice International Film Festival.

Strictly speaking, the Venice Film Festival is not in the city of Venice.

Lido is an 18-kilometre-long sandbar southeast of Venice and is considered the outer island of Venice.

There are about 20,000 inhabitants on a regular basis, and it takes a 15-minute vaporetto ride from Venice to get there.

It's okay to rent a boat, Jiang Xiaojun just rented a boat.

People who come here are accustomed to calling this kind of dinghy a water taxi.

"I thought that we wouldn't be able to make it to the mainland this time." Jiang Xiaojun welcomed Du Qixi's arrival with both hands.

Otherwise, I won't pick it up in person.

Of course, it is also one of the reasons why I have been boating in the water city with my wife, and picking up people is just a stop.

"It's so miserable, I heard that there is a "Fence" and a "Outing" on the other side of Wanwan, but they were not shortlisted?" Du Qixi still did his homework.

Lin Dong didn't know anything.

His attention was paid to these ancient European-style buildings, a style that made him feel intimate.

"Fence is a documentary, recording the mentally ill, it didn't make the cut, but Wanwan's one was shortlisted, I didn't expect your film to be shortlisted so smoothly."

Jiang Xiaojun is a pure judge this time, and no works are brought over.

"Teacher Jiang, can you get to the bottom of it, what awards can we nominate for?" Du Qixi asked curiously.

The shortlist has been confirmed, but the nomination of several awards has not yet been announced.

The Venice International Film Festival has a clear rule that each film can only win one award, and only the film that wins the actor award can win another award, but this other award cannot be the highest level of the Golden Lion.

"Nominated for Silver Lion, Best Actor, Best New Actor, the latter two are Lin Dong."

This is the reason why there are people in the DPRK and China who are easy to do, and Jiang Xiaojun is in the jury, so the information in this regard is naturally clear.

Lin Dong and Du Qixi were stupid.

Silver Lion is the best director.

And the best actor is the actor.

And there are also the best new actors.

Lin Dong actually didn't feel anything when he acted by himself, Du Qixi sent the finished film to the jury by email, and Lin Dong didn't know what it was cut into.

Isn't that too fast-paced?

Do I have the power of the emperor?

"It will be announced tomorrow, but whether it can win the award or not depends on how the jury discusses, Bernardo Bertolucci's old man is very bad, not as good as Marco."

When he said Marco, he was referring to Marco Muller, the bamboo mat in front of the festival.

Marco Müller is an Italian, but the Italian media accused him of "favoring Chinese films too much and ignoring the Italian film industry".

During his tenure, many Chinese film directors, from Zhang Luo to Li Chen, Jia Section Chief, Hou Xiaoxian, Cai Liangming, Zhang Yuan, Liu Jie and Jiang Xiaojun, have won the Golden Lion and other important awards in Venice.

As for Bernardo Bertolucci, although he filmed "Forbidden Twilight", Jiang Xiaojun did not trust him.

"Actually, we didn't want to win the award, we just remembered it on a whim." The Winter Emperor looked very open.

Du Qixi also put away his sad face when he heard this.

That's right, isn't it here to promote the movie?

Regardless of whether we can win the award or not, we have at least been nominated, and many films have been sent from China, so we will be shortlisted, and what kind of bicycle do we want.
