On the afternoon of September 11, the red carpet of the closing ceremony of the Venice International Film Festival began.
As soon as every crew walks on the red carpet, the news will quickly spread around the world.
After all, the three major European ones have an unspoken rule, only the crew that will win the award will be invited to participate in the closing ceremony and award ceremony.
It is also because of this that this year's Venice International Film Festival once again has something that makes it difficult for all predictors.
Before the closing ceremony began, the film "Killing", which was firmly in the position of the top scorer in the field magazine, and there were rumors that Kate Winslet was expected to win the actress before the awards ceremony, did not appear today.
"The Killing", which was clearly considered the favorite by the house magazine, has lost the opportunity to compete for the final award.
Sure enough, it is really difficult to predict the three major awards in Europe.
The movie "Killing Gold" from Hong Kong Island, China, was not invited to attend the closing ceremony and became the culprit of the Huaxia Army.
No one knows the preferences of each jury
It is worth mentioning that today's on-site media, in addition to paying attention to the main competition unit, are most concerned about another film "Sun Li and the Poet" starring mainland actor Zhao Tao and Hollywood actor Rabo Shebodez and directed by Italian director Andrea Segea.
The film was shortlisted for the Venice Day competition unit, and Wu Yuan also attended the world premiere of "Sun Li and the Poet" in Venice.
It was a big crowd, and almost all the critics and media who were in Venice attended.
Without him, Zhao Tao is the darling of Venice!
Although Zhao Tao's fame in China is really small, her international achievements are really high.
Six films starring her have been shortlisted for the Venice International Film Festival.
Zhao Tao was selected by Jia Zhangke to star in the movie "Platform" in 1999 and entered the showbiz, and the two have also started a long-term cooperation since then.
The two are almost in a relationship of mutual achievement, and they got married directly after working together for eleven years.
"Platform", "Let Me Go", "The World", "The Good Man of the Three Gorges", "Tale of Twenty-four Cities", "Love on the River", "Legend of the Sea", "Ten Thousand Waves" and other movies she starred in, although most of them are not well-known.
But each of these films was either shortlisted for competition in Cannes or Venice
Venice main competition unit, horizon unit, Cannes main competition unit, a kind of attention unit, for her are all frequent visitors.
Even the TV series "Big Life", which she starred in for the first time in 09, was shortlisted for the Magnolia Award, the highest award for domestic TV dramas.
If nothing else, she will win a lot of international film festival trophies in the future and become a judge of major international film festivals, including the Oscars.
It's a pity that even so, Zhao Tao's most famous identity will only be Jia Zhangke's wife after all.
This is the situation of literary film actors now, no matter how good the performance is, they are well-known in the art circle, and they become the representatives of Chinese actors in international film art, they have no popularity and influence on the public.
There are not many audiences in China who are willing to watch literary films, and naturally no one will pay attention to Zhao Tao, the queen of literature and art.
At today's closing ceremony, she held Jia Zhangke and accompanied him on the red carpet as a native of Jia Zhangkov.
More than an hour ago, Zhao Tao announced his marriage to Jia Zhangke on Weibo in China, and posted a wedding photo taken by the two in Venice, Italy.
This wedding photo was just taken two days ago, and Wu Yuan personally came to the scene to send his blessings.
Looking at the sweet appearance of the two of them, Wu Yuan sighed a little, this sister-in-law Zhao Tao is really a pity.
She should not be remembered by the domestic masses just as a "Jazhangkov".
She is a very, very good, internationally renowned good actress!
Soon, the red carpet of the closing ceremony ended.
The jury of the main competition unit headed by Wu Yuan and the jury of the horizon unit led by Jia Zhangke began the awarding of awards.
It still continues the boring tradition of the European film festival.
One by one, the judges took the stage to present the awards.
First of all, in the horizon unit, the debut film "The Trail of the Wakos" directed by Xu Haofeng in the mainland was successfully shortlisted, but in the end it was a pity to pass with the award.
Even if Xu Haofeng and Jia Zhangke were classmates of the same year and different departments of the Beijing Film Academy, he had no way to give Xu Haofeng an internal award.
In the entire horizon unit, none of the Chinese films have won awards.
And when it comes to the main competition unit, the real heavyweight awards are here.
After the festival's president, Marc Mueller, presented the Lifetime Achievement Award himself, the main dish was served.
Under the expectant eyes of more than a dozen crew creators and hundreds of media reporters at the scene, Todd Hines, the judge of the main competition unit, took the lead on the stage and presented the best newcomer award.
"The winner of the Marcelo Mastroianni Award for Best Newcomer isβ"
"Someya Shota, Nikaido Fumi "Mediocrity"!"
The crew of "Mediocrity" from Japan jumped up happily and regretfully, and cheered around the two young and immature leading actors.
These two Japanese rookie actors, one is nineteen years old and the other is seventeen years old, which is indeed young.
It's just that after "Mediocre Talent" won the Best Newcomer Award, it also means that they almost missed the other awards, and this result also made the director and screenwriter a little regretful.
The two rookie actors were very happy, and they cried and laughed on stage and said a lot of acceptance speeches.
Well, Wu Yuan, who was watching from the backstage, didn't understand a word, whether it was Japanese or their Japanese-style English, it was too difficult for Wu Yuan to understand.
After the Best Newcomer Award was awarded, awards such as the Best Debut Award, the Best Screenplay Award, and the Best Technical Contribution (Photography) Award were also awarded.
These were relatively minor awards, and in the end, the Greek film "Alps" won the award for Best Screenplay, the Italian film "LA BAS" won the award for Best Debut Film, and the British film "Wuthering Heights" won the award for Best Cinematography, and the cake was evenly divided.
At this point, only the Best Actor and Actress and Best Director, the Silver Lion Award of the Jury, and the most important Golden Lion Award have not yet been awarded.
A member of the jury, Italian actress Alba Lowach, took the card and walked onto the podium.
She is going to present the Best Actress Award.

"Congratulations, "Sister Peach" Ye Dexian!" (End of chapter)
