Chapter 590: The winning ticket, the suspense still lingers
In a blink of an eye, it’s the closing ceremony of the Venice Film Festival!
During this period, predictions for many awards also became the focus of discussions among a group of people after dinner.
In fact, this year's Golden Lion Award is currently concentrated between the two films "Cinema Paradiso" and "Annie's Lake", which is foreseeable.
Judging from the ratings in the program, "Cinema Paradiso" with a rating of 3.85 and "Annie's Lake" with a rating of 3.65 also ranked in the top two.
Of course, the predictions for awards include not only the Golden Lion Award, but also Best Actor and Best Actress.
Because according to the usual practice of the three major European film festivals, it is usually rare for a Golden Lion winner, best actor, or best actress to appear in a film!
After all, if you share the pork, you can't let too many other movies go away empty-handed.
The competition between movie kings and movie queens is even more suspenseful because of this unspoken rule.
In fact, according to the current popularity of "Cinema Paradiso", if it fails to win the Golden Lion Award, then the title of Best Actor will lose its suspense.
After all, Marco Casio, who plays the leading actor Duoduo in "Cinema Paradiso", was the youngest actor to win the Italian Film Academy Award.
And his performance in "Cinema Paradiso" can indeed be said to be amazing.
Therefore, if he does not win the Golden Lion Award, it is really possible for Mark Casio to win the youngest Best Actor Award at the Venice Film Festival, because his performance is qualified enough and he deserves the award.
, coupled with the bonus of age, from this aspect, he has the highest possibility of winning the Best Actor.
However, if "Cinema Paradiso" wins the Golden Lion, then probably nothing will happen to him.
Although it does not mean that those who win Best Actor and Best Actress will not win the Golden Lion, there are exceptions.
But the possibility of such an accident happening this year is not high!
In the same way, "Annie of the Lake" is an LGBT movie and a movie with two female protagonists. As one of the hottest movies this year, the possibility of winning the Best Actress is also very high. After all, it is equivalent to two nominations.
But again, if "Annie of the Lake" wins the Golden Lion Award, the two actresses will be completely out of the picture...
These suspense and contradictions are also one of the highlights of the film festival.
It's quite interesting to say.
Generally speaking, winning an award such as Best Actor and Best Actress is definitely something to be happy about. But sometimes, after receiving an award, the actor who won the award is happy and happy, but the director may not be so happy.
Speaking of which, this year's Venice Film Festival can indeed be said to be very successful. At least so far, the attention received by the Venice Film Festival is indeed no less than that of the other two film festivals, even Cannes.
In this regard, it can be said that the addition of Chinese elements has played a great role.
After all, China doesn’t have many other countries, it just has a lot of people!
This can be proven by the presence of Chinese movie fans and tourists everywhere on the Lido Island in Venice.
The closing ceremony of this year's Venice Film Festival also successfully sold the broadcast rights to China.
This also proves that Li Yi's influence is indeed great enough!
After all, the same is true of Chinese film directors. In previous years, Chinese films were not the favorites for awards, but they did not have the influence of Li Yi.
Back to the movie aspect.
In terms of the touch that the movie brings to people, "Cinema Paradiso" can beat "Annie in the Lake". It can be said that the two movies are completely different in quality!
To put it simply, "Cinema Paradiso" wins based on the quality of the movie, while "Annie's Lake" is a bit trickier and also takes advantage of the subject matter.
From the opening of the Venice Film Festival to now, it can be said that no movie has brought more discussion than "Cinema Paradiso"!
This is a well-known fact. Even in terms of promotion, "Anne of the Lake" even had the two heroines interact ambiguously outside the scene to create gimmicks, it is still difficult to compare with "Cinema Paradiso".
After all, in terms of subject matter, "Cinema Paradiso" also benefited from movies with an Italian background, the rise and fall of Italian movies, etc.
And this is the Venice Film Festival. Although the word "international" is added, any film festival must have a local bias.
However, film festival awards cannot be concentrated on one movie. Pork sharing is the style of all award ceremonies around the world.
It's quite interesting to say.
The three major European film festivals do have a lot in common. For example, at the closing ceremony, if the official organizing committee sends an invitation letter to the film crew, it means winning a prize.
This is a common feature of the three major European film festivals. Similarly, the three major film festivals basically follow the same unspoken rules, that is, unless it is an accident, the gold and silver awards will be awarded. Most of the time, the highest award will be awarded.
Don’t think about getting a silver medal!
For this reason, the film festival award ceremony will be full of all kinds of upsets.
For example, this year, if other influencing factors are put aside, "Cinema Paradiso" can almost be said to be a sure winner of the Golden Lion.
However, "Anne in the Lake" happened to be a literary film. These judges are basically leftists. It can be said that they are natural supporters of LGBT.
Even if you don't like it, you must at least support it on the surface, because it is also politically correct.
Of course, it is precisely because of this that the film festival award ceremony becomes more interesting.
On the day of the closing ceremony, the staff sent an invitation letter to "Cinema Paradiso".
This means that "Cinema Paradiso" must have won the award. Of course, this is not surprising, but this award may not necessarily be the Golden Lion!
I don’t know if it’s to maintain suspense, but it can be said that almost no one can accurately predict the awards at the Venice Film Festival!
Just like last year's Cannes Film Festival, who could have guessed that the Cannes Film Festival would award Li Yi the Double Egg Golden Palm?
If you can guess it, it’s a ghost!
Unlike the opening ceremony, the media focused more on the celebrities present, while the closing ceremony focused on the entries, and the media also focused on the awards ceremony that followed.
For this year’s Venice Film Festival Awards Ceremony, China’s Kumao Video won the online broadcast rights.
Kumao Video started live streaming the closing ceremony early.
And domestic movie fans are also speculating about the awards at this year's Venice Film Festival.
"Oh, I didn't expect that out of the four Chinese films, only "Cinema Paradiso" received an invitation."
Yes, when entering the closing ceremony, everyone only saw Li Yi and the crew of "Cinema Paradiso" entering, but not the crews of the other three shortlisted Chinese films.
Domestic movie fans are also very clear about the rules of the three major European film festivals.
"Normally, there are only a few awards in total. It is impossible for the Venice Film Festival to give many Chinese films, right?"
"Is "Cinema Paradiso" considered stable?"
"It's hard to say. I can only say that I'm sure to win the award, but it's really hard to say for the Golden Lion!"
"It's either "Cinema Paradiso" or "Annie's Lake", but it's hard to say, it might be a big hit!"
