I was just thinking about taking the arts exam and you said I've been playing supporting roles

Chapter 145 The winner is——Chen Jin!
2010 9 Month 11 Day.

Closing day of the 67th Venice International Film Festival.

In addition to the closing ceremony red carpet and award ceremony, there are actually many other things to do today.

For example, there will be an audience voting award announcement for the Venice Film Festival, where three awards will be given out - Special Mention, Audience Choice and Audience Recognized Best Film.

This is an award voted by the audience during the Venice Film Festival.

In fact, this award is similar to the internal magazine of "CIAK IN MOSTRA", and it can be regarded as a relatively fair comprehensive evaluation.

But the media will not report it or explain it specifically, so its value is very low.

"The Hawthorn Tree" was fortunate enough to receive a special mention.

Special mention by audience in Venice Day section - Under the Hawthorn Tree.

There are also award-winning comments.

"We cannot empathize with that special era in China, but we still feel sorry for the beautiful love and humanity. In today's society, such pure and clean love is worth everyone's yearning!"

This is the most recognized review among the audience, and Chen Jin also thinks it is very true.

After reading the original novel, he really couldn't resonate with it because he was not from that era, but he envied this kind of pure emotion.

It was not until he experienced "Under the Hawthorn Tree" that he realized how pure the love between Lao San and Jing Qiu was.

In today's society, with the increasingly rapid development, such love stories have become increasingly rare and precious!
Everyone, at least in adolescence, yearns for such a pure love.

Who doesn’t want to have a boy who always treats her well, and a girl who keeps him in her heart and is willing to give up everything for him?

This is an important reason why the audience gave this award.

"You're asking us to stay here, isn't it just for this one prize?"

Chen Jin was holding the special mention award he had just won and speaking subconsciously.

Zhu Yanmanzi, who was dressed up next to him, heard this and immediately pouted: "Pooh, pooh, pooh, that's definitely not the case. They stayed to attend the award ceremony!"

Unlike Chen Jin's slim and straight suit, Zhu Yanmanzi was still wearing a plain white close-fitting dress, but it was much more exquisite and textured than the one she wore at the opening ceremony.

"Xiao Zhu is right this time!"

Zhang Yimou was smiling, obviously not taking this special mention to heart.

The next thing they are going to do is walk the red carpet ceremony.

About an hour.

And then it was not the award ceremony yet. We had to watch the closing film together, and the last part was the award ceremony.

“No wonder there was so little news about the closing ceremony. There were so few celebrities on the red carpet!”

Many nominated films that failed to win awards have obviously already gone home, including Huayi Brothers' "Detective Dee", which really wanted to win an award this time. It has already been scheduled to be released in the second half of this month. If it wins an award and goes back to hype it up, the box office will definitely explode.

Sharing the same idea as him is "Ip Man 21: The Legend of Chen Zhen", which is also scheduled to be released on the st. Riding on the momentum of the opening film in Venice, it is now being promoted vigorously in China.

Today's box office results for "Under the Hawthorn Tree" have come out, at 2589 million, continuing to top the daily box office.

"Inception" grossed 2100 million, and it's still going strong after more than ten days of release.

"Okay, get ready, we have to get off the bus!"

Zhang Yimou was talking to Chen Jin who was looking at her phone next to him. Chen Jin immediately straightened her clothes, styled her hair, and put on makeup.

Because after winning the award, the media will definitely have a group photo session, and there will also be domestic reporters on the red carpet to take pictures.

They filmed the opening ceremony selectively, the more popular the event was, the more they filmed.

Chen Jin and Zhu Yanmanzi were relatively unknown figures. Only domestic media took a few photos of them at the time, and they were mainly of Chen Jin.

At least he is somewhat famous.

The popularity of the lead actor, who is currently the top scorer in the college entrance examination and has written a perfect essay, has long since subsided.

But the closing ceremony was different.

The reporters are also very clear that everyone who attends the closing ceremony red carpet is there to win an award. What they are shooting now is the material, and when the awards are announced, they can report it directly. They have no choice but to shoot.

Click! Click!
Zhang Yimou was also wearing a suit and waving at the reporters on both sides with a smile on his face.

Of course, Chen Jin was holding Zhu Yanmanzi's little hand and pretending to interact with the fans on both sides. She had to keep pretending!

However, the two of them walked quite fast. It took Chen Jin and the other two only one minute to walk on the red carpet, which would have taken at least five minutes for a celebrity to walk on.

"Hi, Zhang!"

“emo~~~”

"long time no see!"

Many people were waiting for the closing film to begin, and when they saw Zhang Yimou they all greeted him.

In fact, I had met some of them at a banquet a few days ago, but at that time we just chatted casually. Now that there were only a few of them, of course we had to reminisce enthusiastically.

Zhang Yimou does not have an English name, his English name is just pinyin.

Chen Jin thought it was cool and that he should name himself that way, but in the end, he discovered that the pinyin of his own name might not be as domineering as Lao Mouzi's.

He secretly gave himself a pretty awesome name, which almost made Zhu Yanmanzi laugh to death.

chan king!

Chan is Chen, king is a homonym, jin and kin sound similar in foreigners' mouths, so I might as well just call him king. I just don't know if I will be beaten by foreigners. This is a close attack and he is directly crowned with the throne.

After listening to Chen Jin's analysis, Zhu Yanmanzi decided to call her Choo Queen!

It’s quite symmetrical with Chen Jin’s English name, and they can be considered a couple’s English name.

However, Chen Jin called her pig queen, and she was chased and beaten in the corridor by classmate Xiao Zhu, which made her mother very happy.

These two male and female protagonists don’t look like stars, they just act like children.

Except for the premiere, Yan Ning stayed in the hotel these days. She finally heard that she was going back and was already eager to return.

Finally, the closing ceremony ended. The closing film was "The Tempest", starring Hollywood drama queen Helen Miller.

Even Zhang Yimou treats her with great respect. This is a super talented actress, and the one who is closest to the golden slam of actors. She has won the Oscar, Golden Globe, Cannes, and Venice Film Festival, not to mention the Best Actress in other British film festivals.

The only thing missing is the Berlin Film Festival, but if she wins an honorary Golden Bear in the future, she should be considered half a step away from the Golden Slam.

There is no actress in the world who is better than her at the moment, but there are a few who are almost as good as her.

However, a few years later, Hollywood actress Julianne Moore emerged and swept the Best Actress trophies one after another, achieving the only Golden Slam in world history, and even Queen Helen had to take a backseat.

But Helen's strongest point is drama, which is unrivaled.

So Zhang Yimou told Chen Jin a lot about Helen's resume in a very admiring manner, and Zhu Yanmanzi, who was listening beside him, had stars in her eyes.

This should be what she dreams of achieving in the future, being able to be successful in drama, stage play, and film and television drama.

Non-Americans can conquer the world.

However, white people in Europe and America are one family, and it is almost impossible for Asians to enter the Hollywood circle.

The movie started soon.

Chen Jin felt drowsy while watching it, not because he couldn't understand it, but because it was too bad.

Shakespeare's "The Tempest" was adapted into a stage play and movie, and even the rubbish Chen Jin wanted to curse.

It's a waste of this cast, no matter how good the actors' acting skills are. Xiao Zhu next to me is trying hard to understand, and it's really funny to see his little face look dazed sometimes.

She didn't dare to say it was a bad movie, she just felt that she didn't understand it but was deeply shocked.

Just watching the actors perform is a good idea.

Only Zhang Yimou, whom Chen Jin admired, was watching very seriously, and it seemed that he had some resonant thoughts with them.

clap clap clap!
The film finally ended with warm applause from everyone in the audience.

The exciting award ceremony is about to begin.

There is no need to move the venue. In the current closing film viewing hall, the first thing to do is to welcome the judges and chairman of the jury to the stage.

Quentin appeared on the stage with five men and one woman.

Fortunately, we had simultaneous translation, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to understand some of the local Italian dialects.

“Thank you very much for your support at this Venice Film Festival!”

"..."

Quentin was giving his opening remarks in a very formal manner.

Chen Jin was a little uncomfortable with it, but after a few words, this guy showed his talent for being funny and funny.

With the familiar swear words being uttered, the award ceremony began with the formal awarding session.

3D Film Awards.

This year a special award was set up to promote 3D films.

The winners were almost predetermined, but they didn’t show up yet, so a producer from “Avatar” and “How to Train Your Dragon” came instead!
This award belongs to the warm-up, and then it will be the best debut...

"Well, no?"

Chen Jin saw a very special trophy, which was made of gold and could be called a little golden lion.

Special Golden Lion Award!
"Oh my god, can we play like this?"

When the final winner's name was announced, even Zhang Yimou laughed.

Monte Hellman "Road to Nowhere"!
Quentin's mentor won this award, and there were bursts of boos from the audience. If you don't understand, just make an analogy. The Golden Rooster Awards gave out a "Special Golden Rooster Award" and the director who won it was Lu Chuan for "749 Bureau"!
This makes sense, since Monte Hellman is a horror film director.

And this "Road to No Return" is a thriller.

I specially set up an award to pay tribute to my teacher.

I have to say that Quentin really knows how to behave, but he just forgets about becoming the jury chairman of other film festivals in the future.

You are totally messing around.

The booing lasted for a few seconds before being stopped by a judge coming on stage.

The next award to be presented is the Venice Film Festival's traditional award - the Best Debut Film Award, an award to encourage new directors.

Of course Director Chen Jin had never heard of it.

Then there is the Best Technical Contribution Award, which is presented to the photographer.

After several awards were presented one after another, a judge invited the presenter for the next award.

“Let’s welcome Maggie Cheung!”

Zhang Manyu!
He has the highest award achievements among Chinese actors.

She has won Best Actress awards at three major European film festivals.

In 92, she won the Berlin Film Festival Best Actress award for her performance in "Ruan Lingyu", and in 04, she won the Cannes Film Festival Best Actress award for her performance in "Clean". She is the only actress in the Chinese-speaking world who has won two Best Actress trophies at the three major film festivals.

However, she won the Best Actress trophy in 04 with the help of her ex-husband, which is similar to Quentin's routine.

Coincidentally, the chairman of the jury that year was also Quentin, and Zhang Manyu's ex-husband had a very good relationship with Quentin in private. In addition, there was also Xu Ke on the jury. In the end, Zhang Manyu won the Cannes Best Actress Award for the film directed by her ex-husband.

"The next award to be presented is the Marcello Mastroianni Award for Best New Actor!"

Marcello Mastroianni is a very famous Italian actor. He won two Cannes Best Actor Awards, two Venice Best Actor Awards, and was nominated for the Academy Award three times. He died of cancer in 96.

In his memory, Venice specially named an award after him to encourage new talents in the film industry.

This award is also a permanent award in Venice, and its value is well-known around the world.

Many actors who have won the Best Newcomer Award have also won the Best Actor award at the three major film festivals.

"The winner of the Marcelo Mastroianni Award for Best Newcomer is——"

Zhang Manyu opened the award envelope handed to her by the jury. She glanced at it in surprise, then laughed: "Chen Jin, Under the Hawthorn Tree!"
