The awards ceremony of the Venice Film Festival has come to an end.
Except for the last lifetime achievement Golden Lion Award, there is no more.
Originally, when the Silver Lion Award was given, everyone thought that Wu Jianye would win it, but it was awarded to "The Legend of Xili". Everyone couldn't help but be in an uproar. Could Wu Jianye really win the Golden Lion Award?
Debut is the peak!
As a result, the guest on the stage now shouted the name of "Carmen Famous".
Is Wu Jianye going home empty-handed?
For a time, the mood of the crew of "Raise the Red Lantern" hit rock bottom.
"Young people, you still need to study more. Do you really think that foreign film festival awards are so easy to win?" Sun Jiarui said proudly. If Wu Jianye did not win the award, then his weight would be much lower. Go back
There is even more reason to deal with him!
"..."Carmen Named"...and "Raise the Red Lantern"!"
The award-winning guest gasped loudly, making the crew of "Raise the Red Lantern" feel like they were on a roller coaster, going up and down.
"Wow!"
First, Li Xiaoli jumped up and couldn't help but applaud, and then the entire crew.
No one expected that Wu Jianye’s first film would win the Golden Lion Award at the Venice Film Festival.
This is an award that is as famous as the Golden Bear Award at the Berlin Film Festival, the Golden Bear Award at the Berlin Film Festival, and the Palme d'Or Award at the Cannes Film Festival. It is also the first domestic director to win the highest award at a category A film festival.
It’s no wonder that everyone is unhappy and cheering...
"Old Wu, you won the prize!"
Tianzhuangzhuang grabbed Wu Jianye, who was still a little confused, and shouted happily.
Wu Jianye's expression changed from confused at the beginning to a happy smile. To be honest, he really didn't expect to win the Golden Lion Award. In his opinion, getting the Silver Lion Award was enough.
Not bad, after all "Raise the Red Lantern" from Another Time and Space won the Silver Lion Award.
But then, he figured out something.
That is the movie "Raise the Red Lantern" which won the Silver Bear Award in 1991. It is still only 1983, which means that he made this movie eight years in advance. The shooting techniques and
The expressions are far ahead of this era. Thinking of this, the reason why the film won the Golden Lion Award can be explained.
As for the double yolk!
European film festivals have always had such a fucked-up history, and triple yolks are not uncommon, let alone double yolks!
Don’t forget that just now a six-egg yolk was released at the Venice Film Festival.
At this time, the entire crew gathered around Wu Jianye to congratulate him.
Wu Jianye smiled and said: "Thank you, thank you all, this award belongs to everyone!"
Gian Zhuangzhuang said happily from the side: "Okay, let's talk about the acceptance speech after we get on stage. Didn't you see that Godard is already preparing to take the stage?"
With an elegant smile on his face, Wu Jianye adjusted his suit, then walked out, smiled at each other and walked onto the podium side by side with Godard.
Under the golden light, Wu Jianye was wearing a black dress, and his elegant style made Godard next to him look a little dirty.
At this time, Godard was like a later generation of programmers. He had gradually gone bald and his thin figure was naturally not as dazzling as Wu Jianye.
However, Godard is a senior and a well-known director in Europe. He has won numerous awards. In 196o, he won the Silver Bear Award at the Berlin Film Festival for "Breathless". In the next year, 1961, he won the Silver Bear Award at the Berlin Film Festival for "Women Are Women".
"Women" won the Golden Bear at the Berlin Film Festival, and the following year in 1962, "As You Like It" won the Special Jury Prize at the Venice Film Festival.
Later, he won the Golden Lion Award at the Venice Film Festival six times, and was also nominated for the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival many times.
Last year, he won the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Venice Film Festival!
He is a top European literary and artistic film master!
At the same time, when I was in the academy, the Yanjing Film Academy also showed many films about Godard, so later generations said that the fifth generation of directors had the shadow of Godard.
Wu Jianye indicated that Godard was the senior, and he was the first to give his acceptance speech!
Godard agreed with a smile, and then gave his acceptance speech. Seeing the other party's ease, Wu Jianye sighed, he is indeed an award-winning professional.
His thoughts were a little wandering, and he thought of the later generation Tony Leung, who had won the Academy Award for Best Actor many times, and once even drank too much, dressed disheveled, and went to receive the medal in a daze.
He also hopes to have such a day!
At this time, Sun Jiarui's expression in the audience was gloomy. He really didn't expect that Wu Jianye would win the Golden Lion Award. This was an honor for Chinese films, but it was an honor for him.
Kind of suffering.
At this time, Wu Jianye was like an emperor wearing a yellow robe. If he wanted to deal with him, he would have to worry about the influence of many parties.
After Godard finished his acceptance speech, he stepped aside with a smile, and then nodded towards Wu Jianye, indicating that he could come forward to give his acceptance speech!
Wu Jianye held the Golden Lion Award trophy in his hand and waved it vigorously.
Then he said with a smile in Chinese: "I was almost ready to buy a plane ticket back just now!"
The audience at the scene, in front of the TV, understood what Wu Jianye said through the interpreter, smiled knowingly, and applauded.
"Thank you to the Venice Film Festival, Mr. Chairman, and even more to the judges for awarding me such an honor to "Raise the Red Lantern."
Chinese films are old friends of the Venice Film Festival. "Under the Bridge" came here last year, and before I came to Venice, I was encouraged by Director Bai Chen. I am very grateful to him, and I also want to thank me.
Zhu Jinming, the director of his first film "The Peacock Princess", I learned a lot from these two directors.
Now, after several generations of hard work, our Chinese-language films have finally stood on this stage and won the Golden Lion Award.
This award does not belong to me alone, it belongs to all Chinese-language filmmakers who strive for it. I would like to thank everyone on my crew and my predecessors for their efforts."
Wu Jianye paused, and now all the eyes of the audience were focused on him.
At this moment, at least millions of people are watching the live broadcast.
"I am very happy that I can represent Chinese filmmakers and the best filmmakers in the world here. Here, we abandon all barriers and gather together just for art.
Movies can make us more realistic. They are a starting point, a journey, a destination, and more importantly, dreams and hopes.
Venice's tolerance allows us to show our strengths.
It does not shy away from human nature, politics, violence, or breaking the rules. It has infinite possibilities and infinite tolerance!
This is the essence of movies and Venice. I think this is also the goal that all Chinese-speaking filmmakers pursue.
I believe in a saying: the more national it is, the more global it is!
Today I did it!
I believe that I am just the beginning of Chinese-language films, not the end of them. At the same time, I also wish all filmmakers good luck!
Thank you,Thank you!”
Wu Jianye's words reached the ears of everyone present through the translator.
Wow!
Applause rang out from the audience, and countless people were shocked by Wu Jianye's words: The more national, the more global. Everyone felt that they were inspired by his speech.
Wu Jianye also proposed the concept of Chinese movies for the first time here. At this time, many people believe that domestic movies are domestic movies, Hong Kong movies are Xiangjiang movies, and Bayan movies are Bayan movies.
.
However, the Chinese-language movies that Wu Jianye proposed at this time directly included all of these.
This kind of argument will be greatly appreciated by domestic high-level officials.
Having understood this meaning, Sun Jiarui's face became even more ugly. Whatever he liked most in China, he liked such lofty things. The most correct political attitude was to embrace everything.
I believe that when Wu Jianye's acceptance speech reaches China, Wu Jianye will definitely be appreciated by many senior officials.
The officials of the Venice Film Festival were even more satisfied with Wu Jianye's acceptance speech. Compared to a veteran like Godard, the acceptance speech could no longer attract much attention.
But Wu Jianye is different. In his acceptance speech, he infinitely raised the level of the Venice Film Festival. This is the acceptance speech that the Venice Film Festival hopes to see.
Bertolucci and others below also nodded secretly. The more they looked at Wu Jianye, the happier they became.
Such a talent is great. He can be promoted more at European film festivals in the future. He is a film master who can be cultivated by spending resources.
It can be foreseen that major film magazines and newspapers close to Venice will start a routine to slowly build momentum for Wu Jianye.
Of course, there are some filmmakers who are familiar with Chinese movies in the audience. Listening to Wu Jianye’s remarks, I muttered in my heart: He is also a film director, why is Wu Jianye so good at talking? Look at what they said, it’s completely different.
Tofu, smooth on both sides.
In the past, those Chinese film directors who won awards at film festivals would only say thank you excitedly, and they would express all kinds of thanks.
What a difference!
Wu Jianye, Godard and Bertolucci stood side by side and took photos for the media reporters below.
Click!
History remembers this moment!
After walking off the stage, Wu Jianye walked backstage. Countless reporters and paparazzi were waiting for him for a long time, all firing.
If they were just based on their status in the European film industry, these reporters would definitely be the first to interview Godard. Unfortunately, the actions of Wu Jianye's fans at the beginning of the show let everyone know that Wu Jianye was a sensation throughout Europe and the United States.
rock singer kun.
So looking at the swarm of reporters and paparazzi in front of him, and then at the two or three kittens next to Godard, Wu Jianye showed an apologetic smile to Godard.
Although Godard felt a little uncomfortable, he was so experienced that he didn't say anything. He just smiled back at Wu Jianye, answered a few questions casually, and left.
Wu Jianye, on the other hand, wants to stay here and continue to accept reporters and paparazzi's long-term and short-term shots.
.......
It was not the domestic media that was the first to get the news. At this time, the domestic media was not yet developed and the information was not that well-informed.
On the contrary, it was Xiangjiang who got the news first. Although the winner was a domestic director, he was still a Chinese director after all, so many Xiangjiang media reported this matter as their front page headlines.
As for sales?
It's definitely not as exciting as a celebrity romance, but at least it's a buying point.
As the big brother in the industry, Hong Jinbao also got the news immediately.
After hanging up the phone, Hong Jinbao fell into silence. He did not expect that Wu Jianye, who made his heart palpitate at the beginning, would actually stand on top of Europe and become the winner of the Golden Lion Award.
There is always some dreamlike feeling.
But then Hong Jinbao also put this matter aside, saying that even if Wu Jianye won the Oscar gold medal, it would not change much for him.
Although Xiangjiang Film focuses on awards, it also values box office.
A director like Wu Jianye is destined not to make much waves in Hong Kong.
On the contrary, a director like Li Heizi, after learning that Wu Jianye won the Golden Lion Award, laughed a few times, showed a happy smile, and drank a few more drinks in the evening.
The Venice Film Festival awards ceremony ended, and the organizer also booked a banquet hall in a nearby hotel to hold a celebration party!
"Long live!!!"
Everyone in the cast of "Raise the Red Lantern" clinked glasses together, champagne splashed, and everyone was extremely excited.
"hey-hey!"
Zhao Fei held the box of the Golden Lion Trophy, smiling happily and touching it constantly.
"I didn't expect that I could actually see our film win the Golden Lion Award with my own eyes." Zhou Qiang blushed, full of sighs, "Glory, this is glory!"
Tianzhuangzhuang smiled confidently: "Don't worry, there will be opportunities in the future!"
Sun Jiarui seemed a little absent-minded at this time. He looked at the trophy box in Zhao Fei's hand and then at Wu Jianye who showed a proud smile. At this time, he felt mixed emotions in his heart.
At this time, Bertolucci, who is the chairman of the Golden Lion Award jury, also came here under the leadership of his student Ning Ying.
Ning Ying first said to Wu Jianye with envy: "Old Wu, you are really worthy of me. You won the Golden Lion Award at the Venice Film Festival for the first time!"
"hey-hey!"
"Director Wu, congratulations on winning the Golden Lion!" Bertolucci said elegantly while holding the wine glass.
The fierceness in Wu Jianye's eyes flashed away, and then he thanked: "Thank you also, Mr. Bertolucci, for your appreciation!"
Sun Jiarui came closer at this time: "Yes, it is Mr. Bertolucci's appreciation, otherwise we really would not be able to win this Golden Lion Award!"
The expressions of Wu Jianye and Bertolucci changed at the same time. No one expected that Sun Jiarui would say such foolish words at this time. If others heard this, they might not think what they would think.
"To be able to win the award is well-deserved for Director Wu. The entire jury was full of praise for the film "Raise the Red Lantern" and believed that Director Wu will definitely become a film master in time!"
Bertolucci immediately said cryptically.
Sun Jiarui laughed slightly awkwardly and said nothing.
"Director Wu, there is something I have wanted to talk to you about for a long time. I wonder if I have time now?"
Wu Jianye nodded slightly, "Of course!"
Even though he already knew what Bertolucci wanted to talk to him, Wu Jianye still couldn't refuse.
