The awards ceremony at the Venice Film Festival, or the award ceremonies at the three major European film festivals, are relatively simple.
There are no interspersed performances or anything like that.
Just give a speech in a loud voice and then present the award.
But it does not hinder the attention of the award ceremony. After all, at the award ceremony, what everyone pays most attention to is the ownership of the award.
This year, I will pay special attention to who the Golden Lion Award will be awarded to.
Except for Li Yi, everyone on the "Cinema Paradiso" crew was quite nervous.
This time, Li Yi really felt like he had no desires and no desires, because he won the Palme d'Or in Cannes, but that's all.
Now that he is sure to win the award anyway, at least it will be a Silver Lion, so he is relatively calm.
But for others, it is not so calm.
Mark Casio, despite his young age, is also an experienced actor, and this time can be said to be the most promising one for the little guy.
Therefore, Li Yi saw that the smile on his face was stiff.
Li Yi couldn't help but rub the little guy's hair.
Mark Casio raised his head and gave Li Yi a nervous smile.
"You are so young, there is no need for this!" Li Yi sighed.
To be honest, he also knew that he was speaking lightly, that is, himself. For this kind of international award, and it was also an award at the Venice Film Festival, one of the three major film festivals in Europe, it was a normal reaction for others to be nervous and apprehensive, but instead like
It's not normal for him to be like this.
Mark Casio couldn't help but ask: "Director, aren't you nervous?"
Li Yi shook his head and said nothing.
He felt that he shouldn't have said it at all.
Because the identities are not equal!
It is said that you have to become famous early, and although Mark Casio is young, he is not a newcomer.
In fact, there are still a lot of little tricks at the film festival. For example, the two heroines of "Annie's Lake" had an ambiguous show off the show. What was the reason for this?
Isn’t it just to win eyeballs? Hype attention?
Including those female celebrities who are on the red carpet, it’s actually nothing.
Maybe ordinary people who eat melons will feel disdainful, but in fact, if they really enter this circle, who can guarantee that they will not be like them?
No one is more noble than anyone else!
At least they didn't do anything harmful to nature.
It's just something within the rules.
After a series of routine reminiscences about past glories, how many years the film festival has gone through, etc.
Finally, the real business started, the award presentation!
One of your awards is called the Future Golden Lion Award!
Well, this is actually an appetizer, and it has the same meaning as the Camera d'Or award at the Cannes Film Festival.
In terms of the gold content of this award, you have to say that it is indeed quite high for new directors, but for famous directors like Li Yi and others, they cannot win it themselves, so naturally they will not pay too much attention to it.
Therefore, award-winning films and directors don’t even deserve their names here!
Next up is Best Screenplay.
Li Yi wore a double yolk in Cannes.
This has also made many domestic movie fans pay close attention to this award.
However, it turned out that the Venice Film Festival was never Cannes, and Li Yi only had one film shortlisted this time, so Li Yi was not involved in this award.
In fact, this kind of award can usually only be regarded as a consolation prize. Among the Silver Lion Awards, it is also a relatively light award.
Of course, the script of "Cinema Paradiso" is actually not very good, so Li Yi has no chance of winning this award!
In fact, these two awards can only be regarded as warm-up awards!
The next prize is the highlight!
Soon the third award began to be awarded, the Special Jury Award. How do you call this award?
It is equivalent to the Outstanding Film Award, not a permanent award at the film festival. It is valuable, but it is embarrassing.
Because this award is second only to the first award, the Golden Lion Award for Best Film, and the second award, the Silver Lion Award, the Jury Prize.
Even to a certain extent, it is not as good as other awards for Best Director, Best Actor and Best Actress.
However, everyone started to get nervous about this award.
Because, under normal circumstances, the unspoken rule of the Venice Film Festival is still to divide the pork, which means that if nothing else happens, generally speaking, a movie can only win one award!
In other words, films that are expected to compete for the Golden Lion will definitely not hope to win the award at this time.
At least, "Cinema Paradiso" and "Annie of the Lake" certainly don't expect to win awards at this time.
Because once you win an award, it means that you are likely to miss out on subsequent awards!
When the guest opened the envelope, a strange expression appeared on his face, which immediately made the crew of "Annie in the Lake" hold their breath. The same was true for the "Cinema Paradiso" crew.
If it can make the guests show strange expressions, then it must be the result of this award, which is unexpected.
This is also true. The guest paused and then announced: "Congratulations on "Cinema Paradiso"!"
"Wow!"
But after the guest announced the results, the whole audience suddenly fell into a strange silence.
At the same time, the domestic Kumao video live broadcast room was filled with ice and fire.
Fans quickly became divided.
“I’m going to get a prize here?”
"It's over! What the hell is this Venice Film Festival?"
"Isn't it a good thing to win a prize?"
"Nonsense, of course not. At least it's a jury award, right? Just give it a consolation prize? It's so lonely to watch!"
Soon there were people who knew the rules and popularized the hidden rules of the Venice Film Festival to other netizens.
There was an uproar immediately.
"Holy shit, isn't it? Isn't this just a bit of a showdown?"
"I helped him. The chairman of the jury liked the movie, but he just used it for such a useless thing?"
"It's such a lonely experience to attend. Fortunately, Director Gou also makes Italian films. No wonder the Venice Film Festival is in decline. He doesn't understand the world at all!"
"Isn't this too tragic?"
"Isn't it a big hit? Are you just giving away an award like this?"
Not only domestic fans who watched the live broadcast complained, in fact, why was there a brief and strange silence at the Venice Film Festival awards ceremony?
Because in their minds, even if "Cinema Paradiso" doesn't win the Golden Lion, it still won't miss the Jury Prize.
But the result was a special jury award!
Li Yi was actually a little surprised, because he also felt that "Cinema Paradiso" deserves at least a jury award, right?
Moreover, Venice Film Festival, what is this?
The suspense is revealed so soon? Yes, "Cinema Paradiso" is one of the two most popular movies this year. It can be said that winning the award at this time can basically be said to be the suspense revealed, because, according to the previous Venice Film Festival
It is an unspoken rule that it is normal for a movie to win one award!
Of course, it is not ruled out that the Venice Film Festival will also have to do a lot of tricks like the Cannes Film Festival.
At this moment, after a brief silence, the guests present applauded, but they were probably all slandering in their hearts.
It is indeed a hotbed of upsets.
Damn it, "Cinema Paradiso" is out like this?
You must know that "Cinema Paradiso" was personally roped in and recommended by Bertolt Manning.
Does the chairman of the jury have so much energy?
Also, this is an Italian movie!
However, despite this, Li Yi still needs to go on stage to receive the award.
Of course, he can do whatever he wants, but it's not necessary.
