"Thank you. To be honest, I'm surprised to receive this award!" Li Yi said with a smile.
The guests at the scene could not help but sympathize with Li Yi, but unexpectedly?
Of course it was a surprise!
They were also surprised, but this is the nature of the Venice Film Festival.
It's hard to predict who will win the movie awards.
Don’t be surprised, because the three major European film festivals are like this.
"Anyway, I have to thank the jury for awarding this award to "Cinema Paradiso", thank you!" Li Yi's speech was short.
He didn't want to say anything more. Although he said he didn't attach much importance to it, to be honest, he couldn't be happy after receiving such an inconsequential consolation prize.
Not just because of Bertolt Manning, but also because of this movie!
Li Yi rarely makes movies that are truly worthy of awards, but he made such a special one, just like this?
The guests at the scene and the fans in the Kumao video live broadcast room could all understand Li Yi's simple speech.
Otherwise, what do you want him to say?
For Li Yi, who has won the Oscar for Best Picture and the Cannes Palme d'Or, such an award is really a bit useless.
“Isn’t it obvious that the Venice Film Festival recommends dog directors to Cannes?”
"Who says it's not the case? Everyone at the Cannes Film Festival is probably bursting with laughter, right?"
"You can't say that, right? Do you have to give a grand prize to participate in the competition? Just one grand prize, okay?"
"Haha, what is the nature of "Cinema Paradiso"? The film recommended by the chairman of the jury is also the opening film, and it is an Italian film shot by Li Yi. The film itself also received the highest praise from the media and became the Golden Lion of the Film Festival
The most popular award, this is the result?”
“No wonder the Venice Film Festival is worse than the last!”
To put it bluntly, it is absolutely surprising that this award is awarded to "Cinema Paradiso". At the same time, as fans said, the Venice Film Festival is obviously trying to drive away people!
For a director like Li Yi, to be honest, are awards important to him?
It's important to say it's important, after all, the icing on the cake is the icing on the cake, and no one can appreciate too many awards.
But to say it's not important, it's really not that important, because Li Yi is a commercial film director.
No matter what, the film festival award ceremony continues.
However, because "Cinema Paradiso" unexpectedly won the Special Jury Award, many people did not pay so much attention to the subsequent awards.
Even the awards to be awarded next are equally weighty.
Because the next two awards to be awarded are considered to be the two more important awards among the Silver Lion Awards.
Best Director and Jury Prize!
The first award is the Best Director Award!
In fact, the Best Director and the Golden Lion Awards should logically be tied together. After all, we already won the Best Director, so wouldn’t it be normal to win the Best Picture again?
But in the three major European film festivals, they are basically the same. In theory, a film can only win one award!
"The winner of the Best Director at the 77th Venice International Film Festival is..."
The award-giving guest glanced at the contents of the envelope and suddenly showed a strange expression again.
This time, many of the crew members who received invitations were heartbroken.
Especially the director of "Annie's Lake", Sophia Porter, couldn't help but frown at this moment!
"Cinema Paradiso, congratulations!"
"What?" At this moment, all the guests present were dumbfounded.
Everyone was shocked. It’s not the Venice Film Festival, where every movie gets an award, and every carrot is a pitfall. How come they made an exception for no reason!
The netizens in the KuMao video live broadcast room in China were also dumbfounded.
"what's the situation?"
"Is this causing trouble?"
"Isn't there one award for each movie?"
"I really want to ask why?"
"It makes sense. The Venice Film Festival is also the rhythm of making things happen! As soon as this award is announced, the suspense is coming again!"
Yes, as soon as this award was announced, the suspense did come again.
After all, it was promised that each movie would receive an award, but this unspoken rule was directly broken by this award.
Then the unspoken rules don’t count!
Obviously, the Venice Film Festival will also have some fun!
Li Yi was more surprised than others.
To be honest, he didn't expect that the Venice Film Festival would be so flashy.
Isn’t it true that the Venice Film Festival is the most stubborn?
However, no matter what, he hugged the crew members one after another and then went on stage to receive the award.
"I'm really... surprised to receive this award!" Li Yi said a little weirdly.
"Hahaha!" The guests at the scene couldn't help but laugh this time, because Li Yi had already said this before.
But this time it's obviously more interesting.
It is indeed the Venice Film Festival, a hotbed of surprises!
In fact, if there was no special jury award as mentioned above, then this award would indeed be considered normal.
But just because he won the special jury award before, winning this award again will not only surprise Li Yi, but also everyone, right?
"Thank you Bertolt Manning! Thank you to all the crew members of "Cinema Paradiso". Without you, there would be no this movie and no this award! Thank you!"
"I would also like to thank the jury for awarding this award to me. It was an unexpected surprise! Thank you!"
"Bah, bang, bang!" This time there was roaring applause.
Because Li Yi really deserves this award!
After all, "Cinema Paradiso" is indeed a movie that they all like very much.
The plot is not complicated, but Li Yi created a different flavor and even made a classic!
A movie like this really deserves the Best Director Award!
Li Yi walked down, and soon the jury award was about to be awarded. This time, it was the turn of the people on "Annie's Lake" to get nervous.
After all, now that the Venice Film Festival jury has decided to cause trouble!
Then the next awards may be full of surprises and upsets!
However, this time, the Venice Film Festival jury did not cause trouble. The winner was a film that no one was particularly familiar with.
"It's normal. After all, there are only a few awards, and since these crews have received invitations, they must share the pork!"
"Yes, actually this is not bad. A best director is at least an award that Li Yi has never won internationally!"
"It is indeed understandable that the Venice Film Festival divides the pork like this. After all, no matter how good "Cinema Paradiso" is, it cannot win too many awards. "Annie's Lake" is also LGBT, so it seems that the Golden Lion Award
There is no suspense anymore.”
"It's hard to say, it still depends on who the best actor and actress will be!"
