Category A film festival convention.

The presenters of the main competition unit will be the previous winners who will present the awards in person.

The host this time is a female host named Sonia Aquino.

She must be in her thirties, but she seems to be outstanding in terms of height, temperament and appearance, especially her aura that only a mature lady has, which is quite charming.

And... she seems to be quite popular in Italy. When Xu Xin and others appeared on the stage, although they all applauded politely, many Italian film crews in the field management were whistling.

She seems to like her very much.

And with her taking the stage, it also means that the awards ceremony process of this Venice Film Festival has officially begun.

"call……"

Liu Yifei unconsciously covered her heart.

After breathing hard, he turned his head and looked at Xu Xin immediately.

In the half-dark light, Xu Xin looked at the host in front of him with great concentration at first glance, but his eyesight had already lost focus.

Obviously, his mind has been cleared.

"..."

Liu Yifei narrowed her eyes and turned her head to the left.

Lin Gengxin was also looking in the direction of the stage, but his eyes followed the host Sonia.

After noticing her gaze, he turned around and looked over:

"What happened?"

"……fine."

Liu Yifei shook her head and turned her eyes to the stage again.

…

"Sonia Aquino. A famous Italian female host and actress. She graduated from the National University of Sima. After graduation, she went to the Bellini Theater in Naples to study performing arts and participated in the famous drama director Piet Delmot.

She has directed many drama performances including "La Traviata" and is also one of the most popular female hosts on Italian television..."

As a partner, Sina naturally has access to information about some people in front of and behind the scenes at the Venice Film Festival.

Moreover, the two of them also served as translators for the live broadcast, explaining to the more than 1,000 viewers who were still watching the program in the chat room at nearly 4 o'clock in the morning.

After Jingwei finished reading the information, Sonia had already invited a man to the stage at the film festival.

"Peter Aguirre. This is the simultaneous interpreter for this Venice Film Festival. Because many of the crew do not know Italian, he will be responsible for translating Italian and English. The Chinese translation will be completed by us.

Hello everyone, I am Sina host Martin."

"I am Jingwei, the host of the movie channel."

"Welcome to watch the live broadcast of the 67th Venice Film Festival late at night."

After Martin and Jingwei formally introduced themselves once again, they heard Martin say:

"Let me tell you about the rules of this awards ceremony. This Venice Film Festival will award the following awards. The first are several individual awards, Queer Award, Best Documentary, Best Restoration Film, Future

Lion, and the Golden Lion Award for Lifetime Achievement.

As for these awards, except for the Lifetime Achievement Golden Lion Award, the awarding process for other awards is a post-game process. In other words, the only person who appears on the stage to receive the award and give an acceptance speech is the Lifetime Achievement Golden Lion Award.

kind."

"That's right."

"The following "Venice Days" and "International Film Critics Week" and some of the "Horizon Unit" awards will also be in the form of overall awards, and the winners will be released at once. There will also be no acceptance speeches. The entire Venice film

Festival, the only ones that can be on the podium are the Film Critics Week Award and the Horizon Best Film Award, two major awards in different categories. As well as the most anticipated all awards in the main competition unit."

"Yes, I believe that the viewers who stayed up late to watch our broadcast must be senior movie fans. But in order to prevent some viewers from not understanding it, we still did a little popular science."

Jingwei's words were very playful, and since the show hadn't started yet, the two hosts naturally couldn't let the atmosphere get cold.

So after popularizing these awards, Martin said:

"Speaking of which, there are quite a few Chinese-language films that meet the requirements for various awards in the main competition this year."

"Well, that's right. In addition to "Sword Rain" which is no longer in competition and "Fist of Fury: Chen Zhen" which is one of the opening films, in terms of the three works shortlisted for the main competition unit, "Detective Dee: The Empire of Heaven"

The actors and actresses of "Hawthorn Tree" actually meet many requirements."

Jingwei didn't even mention the name "Jiabiangou".

"Liu Jialing can compete for the best actress, Andy Lau is the best actor, and people like Deng Chao, Li Bingbing, and Liu Yifei can compete for the "Marcelo Mastroianni" best new actor award."

As soon as Jingwei spoke, many people in the live broadcast room were speechless.

What?

Can Li Bingbing and Deng Chao still compete for best newcomer?

What's going on?

This is actually the case.

The Venice Film Festival's "Best Newcomer Award" does not stipulate a specific age, but is defined as "the first time to participate in a film nominated for an A-category film festival" as the dividing line.

Like Li Bingbing and Deng Chao, they are indeed celebrities who have been famous for a long time. But for this requirement, whether it is "Assembly" and "Li Mi's Conjecture" played by Deng Chao, or Li Bingbing's "

"A World Without Thieves" and other works.

None of them have appeared in the nine major A-category film festivals, so under this rule, their starting point is the same as Liu Yifei's, and they all fall into the category of newcomers.

But there is no way to explain this, otherwise...it would be a black mark for the actor for no reason.

So she didn't explain, but after telling the result, Martin continued:

"But Liu Yifei's situation here is the most special."

"Yes, that's right."

Jingwei responded:

"She is participating in this film festival as the heroine of "Hawthorn Love". After being shortlisted for the main competition unit, she is eligible for the Best Actress and Best Newcomer awards."

"Eh, so Lin Gengxin also has a chance?"

"Yes, he also has a chance. It's just that we haven't seen the movie "Hawthorn Tree Love", so we don't know what his role in it is like..."

The two continued to chat there until Sonia on the stage announced the official start of the 67th Venice Film Festival.

"Okay, the 67th Venice Film Festival has officially begun. The first award is the "Best Film" selected by the International Film Critics Week. Among the awards that our Chinese films are eligible for, who will win the grand prize? Let us

Let’s wait and see…”

In the summary of Jingwei and Martin, the first list of winners appeared on the big screen with Jessica Hausner, the director of "Lourdes", the best film of the last International Film Critics Week, taking the stage, saying

With the name "No Escape" out, the film festival's awards ceremony began.

…

According to the order of the award ceremony, the awards were awarded one after another.

Xu Xin couldn't understand their language, but he discovered one thing...that is, everyone on stage would prepare a piece of paper and use it to make an acceptance speech.

He muttered in his mind: Could it be some unspoken rule?

Only those who have been officially notified to prepare an acceptance speech can win the award?

But... no one notified me.

He was a little uneasy.

Then I just watched these people walking around as if they were just showing off.

He applauded when it was time to applaud, and nodded when it was time to nod.

It lasted for about 30 minutes. Suddenly, after Sonia said a lot, Zhong Changyou reminded everyone in a low voice:

“Arrived at the main unit!”

"!"

Everyone, including Xu Xin, subconsciously sat up straight and tried their best to show their best side.

Only Zhang Yimou.

Tsk.

The air of a master.

Unmoving as a mountain.

…

"Oh? It's finally here. Let's start to announce the list of film winners in the main competition unit. The first award is..."

Listening to Sonia's introduction, Jingwei said:

"Special Golden Lion Award. The presenter was Jacques Van Domel, the director of the last Special Golden Lion Award-winning film "The Man Without a Surname". Let's see who the winner is..."
To be continued...
