Chapter 330 Golden Lion Award
At the beginning of September, far away in Venice, Italy, the Venice Film Festival, one of the world's three major European film festivals, also entered its final awards ceremony.
The Venice Film Festival has a somewhat embarrassing position among the three major film festivals, and even among the entire international film festivals.
Especially in the new century, the Venice Film Festival has become more and more conservative. Among the major awards in almost every session, there must be Italian works or actors, which has caused dissatisfaction among many filmmakers.
Look how generous the Cannes Film Festival is. The more novel it is, the more you like it. It doesn’t matter if it’s a French film or not.
The Berlin Film Festival is similar, and it is more inclined to Eastern films, which makes the booming Eastern films pay most attention to such film festivals.
Therefore, in order to get rid of its own decline, the Venice Film Festival has made a lot of changes in the past two years.
For example, they have greatly increased their publicity, hired more professional international judges, and introduced more audience participation in the selection process.
Especially this time.
"The Gift of Room No. 7" is a book that has attracted worldwide attention. It has sold more than 50 million copies worldwide and has many fans in Italy.
Seeing that the film "The Gift of Room No. 7" was participating in this film festival, the organizing committee immediately seized the good publicity opportunity and promoted this brand.
But inevitably, as a symbol of the host country, the film at the opening ceremony was usurped by the Italian film "For Your Sake".
This caused dissatisfaction among many movie fans.
After Shanhai.com launched overwhelming publicity throughout Venice, not to mention tourists from abroad, even Italian movie fans were a little embarrassed.
The most powerful thing is after watching the movie.
From a 130-seat cinema on the first day, to three 500-seat cinemas on the third day, to five 700-seat cinemas on the day before the awards, every show was really full, and it was
You need to queue for at least 2 hours to watch it.
There were so many spectators, and when I was queuing up, I watched piles of spectators come out crying, and then I repeated this experience myself.
"Moved! Touched! Touched!"
"I want to cheer for the screenwriter, the director, and all the actors! They are the best!"
"Although it was a group of oriental faces, I still watched it very seriously and was moved without exception! My boyfriend and I both cried together! He never cries on weekdays!"
"I have always been a fan of Mr. Chu's books. I bought two books of "The Gift of Room No. 7". This time I went to watch the movie and it really did not disappoint me! It's so good! It's tear-jerking!"
"This bad screenwriter! Bad director! Bad actors!! It made me cry and laugh at the same time. I really looked like a madman!"
"I queued for three days in a row and watched it three times, but I still want to watch it again! What I want to say is, let it be released as soon as possible! Not only do I want to watch it, but I also want to buy the CD for my collection!"
"..."
The evaluation by professionals is also very, very high.
"This is a group of the best filmmakers! Although I can find some shortcomings in the lighting, environment and even structure of the shooting, generally speaking, when you watch, you will not pay attention to these at all, just
I will be moved by the plot and characters! This is also the first movie that I have cried while watching this year." - German film critic Schwein.
"Haha, as a French movie fan, I knew that "The Gift of Room 7" must be very good, but I still watched "For Your Sake" first, because I felt that if I watched "The Gift of Room 7", I would definitely
I can't stand Italian movies, and that's true. I don't want to describe "For Your Sake" as a bitch, but "The Gift of Room 7" is definitely the top meal! I love everyone on this crew!"
——Famous French film critic Pierre.
"The director's style is very different from our British films. She pays more attention to every detail, and then, after giving everyone laughter in adversity, she gives a sad and unacceptable result.
Overall, this is a tragedy, but I couldn't help but watch the movie and bought the original book to read. After watching it, I couldn't sleep for several nights because I could see it as soon as I closed my eyes.
Those people, maybe this is the charm of movies!" - British director John Roneyham.
"Oh, God! Oh God! How can the screenwriter and director be so cruel? It is absolutely impossible for our Italian movies to do this! But the people with the most queues are Italians! As an Italian director, I was very confused, but after watching the movie
After that, I only had thoughts about human nature in my heart. At the same time, I also loved that little girl! Yes, after the movie was over, I couldn't help but hug her, although this made me look down upon by many women! Not like this
I can't express my love for her and this movie!" - Famous Italian director Dino Tari.
"I think we Americans also like this movie! Especially after I know that it has decided to participate in the Golden Globe Awards and Oscars, I am even more happy. Because it will definitely get the glory that belongs to it! This belongs to the whole world.
Movie wealth! Thanks to this group of filmmakers in China, you have created a classic!" - Tom Raymond, general manager of the European Department of Paramount Pictures in the United States.
"..."
The overall audience score is still a high 9.8 points, which has not dropped at all.
Media filmmakers also gave it a score of 8.5. Considering how demanding they are about art films, this score is definitely very high.
When Mr. Hao He's work won the Golden Lion Award at the Venice Film Festival, media filmmakers only gave it a score of 7.7.
It’s so touching and so popular. If the Venice Film Festival doesn’t want its brand to be destroyed, it naturally knows what to do.
The awards ceremony was brightly lit and full of people.
As a member of the cast of "The Gift of Room No. 7", she is the one who gets the most attention.
In order to make them appear in front of the global media and people in the best possible way, Shanhai.com specially hired a professional Italian packaging team to carefully prepare makeup, clothes, jewelry, etc. for them. After the effect came out, it was indeed dazzling.
.
Domestic audiences, including Japanese and Korean audiences, saw it with eyes filled with light.
Yes.
This time, Shanhai.com is broadcasting live again.
It is said to be a global live broadcast, but in fact it is live broadcast within Asia and among Chinese circles in various countries.
Even so, Shanhaiwang has made progress that is visible to the naked eye.
At least in Japan and Tai Chi, the number of viewers of Shanhai.com has increased significantly, reaching a peak of 20 million tonight!
How many people are there in Japan and Taichi?
The total sum is only 200 million, and one in ten people came to watch the feast of "The Gift of Room No. 7". What an exaggerated figure is this?
After this number was told to everyone by Shanhai.com by flooding the screen and announcing it on a meager account, Shining Technology almost peed.
Damn it!
This is to surpass our rhythm at any time!!
Among the three richest countries in Asia, one is Lijiapo, and the other two are Japan and Taiji. The latter two have as many as 200 million people. What a huge market is this?
Once Shanhai.com gets a firm foothold here, how can our Youyi.com survive?
Not to mention the tangle of shining technology, the beautiful host of Shanhai.com seized the opportunity to interview Zhu Mei before the award ceremony started.
"Director Zhu, we know that "The Gift of Room 7" is the most popular movie at this Venice Film Festival. As a director, what do you think?" the female host asked loudly in the noisy environment.
"I'm very happy and thank you all for supporting us." Zhu Mei was very calm.
The results haven't come out yet, so we can't be so arrogant.
Otherwise, if the Italians go crazy, how will they come back?
The female host didn't care about that. She got excited first and asked a lot of questions excitedly, which satisfied the audience on the other side of the computer or mobile phone screen.
Shanhai.com's real-time translation is very professional. The signals from Japan and Taiji were only delayed for one minute and subtitles were added. This is a very powerful ability.
At the end, the female host asked a more critical question.
"Director Zhu, may I ask Mr. Chu Liuxiang if he will also come to the scene?" the female host said, "It is said that his demand for the "Best Screenplay Award" is also very, very high."
As she asked, she looked around, hoping to see the legendary person.
As long as Chu Liuxiang appears tonight, Shanhai.com will be in a league of its own, and it will kill Shining Technology's record of the highest number of video viewers in a matter of minutes.
The audience in front of the screen also held their breath, hoping to hear a positive answer.
What a pity, Zhu Mei smiled slightly, "He? He should be sleeping now, it's almost 2 o'clock in China."
The female host couldn't help but feel disappointed: "He's really big-hearted! This is the Golden Lion Award!!"
"For him, this is just a work, nothing particularly important." Zhu Mei said with a smile, "And he has work in China and can't spare time."
"That's it~~" the female host looked disappointed.
She is not a fan of Chu Liuxiang, but she pays a lot of attention to this super mysterious genius writer.
If she builds a good relationship now and can get an interview with him or something, it will definitely be of great help to her career.
Zhu Mei also knew that Shen Huan was forced to teach students recently.
Of course, the main reason why Shen Huan didn't come was because he didn't want to bother.
He already has enough halo around him, there is no need to add more attention to himself.
This is also true.
When Shen Huan received the call at almost three o'clock, she was still a little dazed from sleep.
He only heard a burst of cheers and noise, Zhu Mei said loudly to herself: "Teacher Chu! We won the prize! We won the prize!!"
Then he stopped hearing clearly what Zhu Mei said. It wasn't until he hung up the phone and got up the next day to read the news on his phone that he learned about the success of "The Gift of Room No. 7" at the Venice Film Festival.
Best Film (Golden Lion Award) at the 72nd Venice Film Festival: "The Gift of Room No. 7".

"Ding dong!"
"The host has achieved the first step of making "The Gift of Room 7" famous in the world, and Hung Huai Guangda's system has decided to give it a small reward."
"Reward the host with a detailed review of a variety show. I hope the host can continue to work hard and get more rewards!"
