Dai Chengbi was stunned and couldn't believe it. He once thought he was hearing something!
Xia Yu's own mood was not as high as it was now when she received the award. She had only struggled for five years, while Dai Chengbi had come back for more than ten years. He went from a boy to a young man, and from a young man to a father. The difficulties involved cannot be explained by outsiders.
The mental pressure was immense. Every time he lost the election, it was a strong denial of his ideal. He came all the way and came back in embarrassment. What awaited him was not encouragement or comfort, only ridicule from the director, and heartache from the media again and again.
speech.
Mental pressure, self-esteem, and pressure from his parents - he could only grit his teeth.
"Painting the Ground as a Prison" was really his desperate attempt. He still failed to succeed, but he won over Xia Yu.
It was also Xia Yu who gave him another level of support and made him relax, one movie and two movies...
His voice was confused, he couldn't believe it, he wasn't confident, he was looking forward to it but he was also afraid——
Until Xia Yu pinched him hard, causing him to grimace in pain, and his eyes suddenly widened, "Is it really me?"
Xia Yu herself was very calm when accepting the award, but Dai Chengbi had a sore nose when accepting the award.
Finally, she understood how many times Dai Chengbi was sincerely happy for her when he saw her win the award. She suppressed the sobs in her voice, curved her lips, and said with a smile:
"Go ahead and receive your honor. Don't forget to give your acceptance speech."
"Yes, yes, accept the award!"
Only then did Dai Chengbi react and stood up. He was so nervous that he didn't even have time to hug Xia Yu. He walked quickly and rushed to the stage in a few strides.
This scene was met with applause and laughter from the audience;
The audience in front of the screen was also very happy!
[Director Dai has made so many films, and finally got over it, and can finally be called a great international director!]
【——Happy for Director Dai! 】
[I'm happy for "The Crime". It has two awards, one for Best Actress and one for Best Director. I'll see who else is a scumbag, and which film critic's comments are not objective and fair. I'll blame him to death! 】
Being an international director is still a bit exaggerated. It would require more box office or more honors to achieve it, but Dai Chengbi can still be said to be crowned this time and can be named one of China's top ten or five top directors.
There are also some literary and artistic film enthusiasts who have been paying attention to Dai Chengbi. Although they are not many, they are filled with emotions.
【The end of all hardships brings joy! 】
[I hope Director Dai can pay more attention to scripts and focus more on his film career in the future!]
[We have already won a major international award. In recent years, our literary and artistic films have finally produced a decent talent!]
As for "Night Flame" which won the Berlin Film Festival last year, although it won the Golden Bear Film and Silver Bear Best Actor, the substantive significance of the director is actually greater. To put it a bit exaggerated, it is whether it can obtain the "Top Director" award.
Tickets.
After all, awards nowadays are not as valuable as they used to be. A film like Xu Wei’s, which has never won an international award before, would be a hit even now if it enters the three major film festivals;
It’s not that directors nowadays say no, but most of them are like choosing generals from the dwarfs. It’s not surprising that they have won three major domestic awards!
Over the years, I have produced a lot!
But I can only say that the film was so killer that even Xu Wei, who was directed at the same time, had no choice but to accompany it.
But he and Ji Yuchang were able to reach their current status. Although the awards were a bit behind internationally, they were not bad domestically, and their influence was particularly large. It took Dai Chengbi two or three years to become well-known. But Xu Wei and Ji Yuchang were
All over the country, even in the whole of Asia, they have a great reputation and reputation - this is the difference between top directors and ordinary directors.
Now that Dai Chengbi has won the Venice Best Director Award, he has finally secured his entry into the “top director” category!
Xia Yu glanced at the Italian screenwriter Alfonso, who was sitting across the seat. His face was dark. He was being slapped in the face by Piapia for teasing him just now. He glanced at the "old man" on the stage who was "smug".
Then he looked at Xia Yu who was holding a big trophy - he couldn't sit down anymore, so he took his clothes and walked out of the venue without caring about his companions.
Xia Yu smiled and ignored him.
On the stage, Dai Chengbi first thanked the award presenters, then took the little silver lion and kissed him twice. Now the audience and the jury members were healed by his naivety and all laughed.
.
"This Director Dai has a real temperament!"
Then Xiaoxiao took the little silver lion and waved it at Xia Yu. After shaking it for less than a second, he waved it wildly at his wife at the guest seat on the second floor. If he hadn't been worried about smashing it or breaking someone,
, with his posture, he probably wanted to throw it directly up and tell Song Xi - "Wife, look, look, look, I'll get you a little silver lion!"
Then it was time to read out the acceptance speech. Ten days ago? One or two years ago? Dai Chengbi was too embarrassed to go into detail. He had already written this acceptance speech ten years ago, deleting, deleting, revising, and patching it up.
Today I can finally tell it on this stage.
At this moment, this feeling, these sentiments have been memorized for so many years, many words have been held back for so long, and now he is here, with the honor he has longed for for more than ten years in his hands, but today, the sadness and sorrow in his heart, those words
He said sour words, but he didn't want to say a word.
No wonder Mr. Zhuang said that he wanted to change and be a little more arrogant. He has that talent, ability and talent - this is not what he said to himself, this is what Mr. Zhuang said;
But don’t stay up all day and look like you’re dying or sore!
Why are you unwilling to give in? Who hasn’t come through step by step? If you don’t have a background, you don’t have it, so just work harder——
Is it useful to look like a young man all day long? Although he didn't wake him up at the time, at this moment, he seemed to understand.
So in the end he just said, "Thank you to the organizers of the Venice Film Festival, the organizing committee, the jury, the entire team of "Trafficking", my friends who have supported my film career in the past, and finally, my thanks to my partner who has always encouraged me, my daughter's
Godmother, my best heroine, Xia Yu. Finally, I want to thank my wife who has always supported me both openly and secretly. I love you, thank you all!"
Frankly and generously, I cried and laughed, and the moment I won the award, all my unwillingness was relieved.
Dai Chengbi returned to his seat with ease, gave Xia Yu a hug, and said with a nasal voice, "Thank you!"
As for the empty seat on the side, Dai Chengbi only glanced at it. His mind was already on Song Xi upstairs.
If the occasion hadn't been inappropriate and he was no longer young, he would have rushed up to hug his wife and give her a firm kiss...
After winning this award, both of them were calm. The next two awards have nothing to do with them or "Crime".
However, after Dai Chengbi won the Silver Lion Award for Director, their original "little corner" suddenly became the center of focus, and the cameras had wandered around countless times.
The audience who originally thought Dai Chengbi was quite honest suddenly became a little resentful.
Winning the Silver Lion Award for Director, and having such a beautiful Best Actress by my side - she is a real winner in life!
You have a look of envy, jealousy, and hatred. Why do you, this kid, get to do all the good things?
Even several judges on the jury were a little jealous and joked:
"If I had known this, I should have voted for Pablo Kid from "Crime Family"!"
There was only one vote difference between "Crime Family" directors Pablo and Dai Chengbi, and they missed out on the Silver Lion Award for Best Director——
The Grand Jury Prize, the Silver Lion, went to Charlie Kaufman for "Abnormal," which also shattered Kaufman's chances of competing for the Golden Lion.
At present, apart from the films that have won at least one main competition award, it can be said that each of the remaining films has the potential to become the winner of the Golden Lion Award for Best Film at this Venice Film Festival.
After another performance, it was finally time to award the highest honor of this film festival, the Golden Lion Award for Best Film.
The selection of the best film, whether in Berlin or Venice, has always had its own set of rules——
In Dai Chengbi's opinion, it must be both interesting and "artistic" enough, and the theme must be realistic but not divorced from reality, but the acting skills of the actors and the director's skills must be very high, and it will most likely be a hit.
Unpopular.
Not surprisingly, when the award presenter opened the envelope and announced the results, the audience was filled with incredible exclamations!
"The film that won the Golden Bear Award for Best Film at the 72nd Venice Film Festival is..."
"Lorenzo Vegas directed the film, Come From Away, so let's congratulate him!"
Shocking, absolutely shocking.
Xia Yu and Dai Chengbi both looked at each other. They felt that this film had the potential to win Best Actor and Best Director, but they really didn't expect that in the end, as a gay-themed film, it won the Golden Lion Award for Best Picture.
!
It can be felt from the exclamations on the scene that not only them, but also the audience and the director who directed this work were confused.
This film is undoubtedly valuable as it tells the story of the emotional tug-of-war between a middle-aged man and a rebellious teenager.
Homosexual themes are indeed a "fashion" in the three major international film festivals. This theme can tell many practical issues and is more likely to be outstanding. But Dai Chengbi has watched this movie with a professional and aesthetic eye, and only
I feel like it's a little less popular - but at this moment, compared to this film with the traditional aesthetics of the Venice Film Festival, "Crime Family", "Waiting", and "Blockade" are all new directors, although this Golden Lion Award
The move was a little tame, but it seemed like there was nothing wrong with it.
Hasn’t this always been the character of the Venice Film Festival?
Lorenzo Vegas came on stage excitedly and won the much-anticipated golden lion.
The main competition section ended here, but in the end, the film festival won two more heavyweight awards.
One is the Golden Lion Award for Lifetime Achievement, and the other is the Director’s Honor Award.
It was won by two respected veteran directors.
The 72nd Venice Film Festival ended successfully in this good atmosphere.
After the award ceremony, Xia Yu thought about it and realized that he wasn't changing clothes anymore, so it was fine just like this.
This was followed by a dinner and a large-scale interview event organized by the film festival organizers.
Xia Yu and Dai Chengbi did not plan to attend the dinner, but for the interview, there was no other way. The crew of "Trafficking" was very proud of having won two awards. They could even proudly say that they were the biggest winners at the 72nd Venice Film Festival.
Although "The Ferret" also received two awards, it is not in the same category as "Sin".
Dai Chengbi also won the best screenplay award many years ago, and he is also the man who holds two major awards at the Venice Film Festival.
When we came in, we saw a sparse interview team. When we came out, there were already many reporters from all over the country who knew them.
Although the three major film festivals have the best directors and actors every year, for two young people, especially with Xia Yu here, the media attention suddenly changes. No one cares about them before they become famous, and they cannot become famous overnight.
It is said that the world knows it, but the trend that Xia Yu set off in Europe in the past has been stirred up again - a student of top international director Zhuang He won the Venice Best Actress award again!
This property is completely different.
The interview took a small part of the time. It was not until the other winners and the invited celebrities from Italy, France, and beautiful nationalities appeared that the halo of the two people gradually faded away.
But Xia Yu is undoubtedly the most dazzling actress tonight, there must be no one else.
I took a lot of photos and signed a few names, and finally got away smoothly.
When he arrived at the parking lot and there was no one around, Dai Chengbi sighed with emotion and said proudly, "It turns out that being a superstar is so hard!"
Xia Yu was overjoyed and teased him, "Between us, there may be two awards between us before we become a superstar - one of the Three Major Awards, and one of the Academy Awards. Or a movie that is a hit all over the world and can earn at least 1.5 billion US dollars."
!”
She said rationally, "We are just starting out now, and we have just hit the threshold of becoming an international superstar. Don't dream, we are still far away."
Dai Chengbi suddenly became discouraged and said angrily, "Can't you just let my brother think nonsense?
It’s so easy to have an opportunity that attracts everyone’s attention, and it’s so easy to feel confident, but you blew it all away!”
Xia Yu smiled and said nothing, and ignored him, because at this moment, her cell phone had just been turned on, and there were already a bunch of messages and calls coming in. Xia Yu picked it up and finally answered it.
I called Ms. Yu Heng.
"Ms. Yu Heng, do you know what time it is?"
"Early in the morning...five o'clock in the morning, what's going on?"
"Did you stay up all night with my father?"
"Well, at this moment of honoring our ancestors, we both have to go to class and can't come over to cheer you up. Why don't we stay up all night?"
"Can, can, can!"
"Did you really win an award? Best actress at the three major international film festivals? Hey - when will that movie be released?"
"If you really get it, if you really get it, I'll throw the trophy into your arms when you turn around. It's too heavy."
"Released? November?"
"Why not October? Taking advantage of the long holiday? Then your dad and I have to wait until November to watch the main movie?"
"If you want to see it, I'll take a copy home later and you can go to the Imperial Capital to see it during the October long holiday."
"That's so boring - I have to go to the cinema and see what other people think!"
Xia Yu was chatting while walking, and Dai Chengbi led the way and soon reached the vicinity of the Rolls-Royce Phantom;
Dai Chengbi was still sullen at first, but he saw Song Xi standing there from a distance, smiling, with a virtuous and virtuous face, gentle and elegant, and the years are peaceful - this guy is no less than a Sichuan opera face changer, just brushing his eyes, he will turn red
, tears are about to come out.
"——Oh, wife!"
Xia Yu holds his forehead.
