The entertainment media in the front row who were eligible to enter the awards hall flashed their shutters, vying to take pictures of Qin Jue standing on the stage holding the "Pearl of the Sea" trophy.
Originally, Qin Jue was from Longzhou and was not very well-known in his own country, let alone the EU Federation. However, his acceptance speech just now was sincere, easy-going and funny, and his attitude and wording were all appropriate. Anyone who listens to this will have a considerable fondness for this unfamiliar Longzhou face.
Lu Qianshan's mood was a little complicated. He was actually looking forward to Qin Jue's serious talk on the stage about the rise of Longguo Entertainment. After all, the last time a Dragon Kingdom film was shortlisted for the Venazzola International Film Festival was four years ago, and it has been thirty years since the "Pearl of the Sea" actor with an oriental face was seen. For Qin Jue to receive such an honor, it should have been a good opportunity to "promote our country's prestige".
But... After listening to Qin Jue's speech, Lu Qianshan realized that he had not considered it properly.
He still couldn't change his cultural identity of "inferiority and pride". Think about it from a different perspective. There were so many films participating in the Venazzola International Film Festival. The guests in the venue had different skin colors and appearances and came from countless countries. Even the Dragon Kingdom It is one of the most powerful countries, but here we are just one of them. Why do we have to talk so much about politics in the field of culture and art, as if we are the only ones who are special?
Switching positions, if Qin Jue really starts to passionately start a speech such as "Our Dragon Kingdom's movies have stood up! Our entertainment index will rise all the way!" The scene will feel inexplicable when you think about it, but it will make people feel uncomfortable. A sense of déjà vu that “nothing matters most” made everyone present feel embarrassed.
Now looking back at Qin Jue's speech, he first thanked the jury for their fair judgment, secondly expressed his appreciation and love for the film festival itself, and then directly mentioned the works of his competitors without any irritation or eccentricity. He sincerely expressed his gratitude to the jury for their fair judgment. They praised her profusely and took care of everyone's mood. Then they returned to the film in which they were starring, thanked the audience and colleagues, and even helped Mu Sisi get a valuable close-up shot in an extremely friendly, appropriate and humorous way.
He is really... very good at talking.
After listening to these words, I just felt that this new actor who I had never met before was humble and interesting. He was a very gentlemanly and friendly actor. He was both capable and easy to get along with. Didn't this impression just stick to him? ——Then everyone will remember that this actor is from Longzhou!
This Qin Jue...
He is obviously only twenty years old this year, barely above his age, but his high emotional intelligence puts Lu Qianshan, who is several years older, to shame.
No wonder the old man values this child so much.
Lu Qianshan's thoughts turned over and over again, and he savored the taste a few times. At this time, Qin Jue was already bathed in flashlights on the stage. He smiled and walked off the stage with the trophy. His pace was a little faster, which did not waste time and did not affect him at the same time. With due etiquette, I met Quentin, Grit and the smiling Hermann along the way and exchanged friendly glances.
The awards ceremony continued, and there were four actors nominated for the "Best Actress" award. They were from the remake film "The Beauty", the science fiction film "Neon Universe" written by Francis Liu, and the suspenseful action police film "Chi City 1980" and the female-themed road movie "Start Again."
The competition seemed fierce, but after careful consideration, there was not much suspense. In the final round, it was a matter of choosing one of the latter two. In the end, as expected, it was won by Carolina Galvin, the actress of "Children 1980" Laurel crown.
To be honest, Carolina and Cen Yi are in somewhat similar situations. They have been accompanying each other for many years and often come back with regrets. This time they finally won the "Pearl in the Sea" Best Actress trophy. They were so excited that they burst into tears.
Same class, different fate. It is foreseeable that Qin Jue, who won the Best Actor Award shortly after his debut, might be pulled out by media reporters as a control group. However, everyone has his own destiny. Qin Jue was filming "Daytime Rain". After going through life and death, only people like He Xu and others in the team understand the dangers. "Effort" never needs to be quantified and compared. Only the outside world cares about these messy gimmicks, so they repeatedly try their best to gain attention and topics. Spend.
After Carolina choked up her acceptance speech, the final "Best Director Award" also came to the presentation stage.
Lu Qianshan and Mu Sisi both sighed. This was one of the four nominations for "Daytime Rain".
In contrast, Qin Jue was much calmer. She vaguely sensed the jury's routine: the Venazzola International Film Festival has always been known for being pioneers and niche, and her best actor is one of those "so bold, but when I think about it" "This is normal for Vinazzola", and the same goes for Carolina. When everyone felt that the female lead in "Start Again" "should be selected" according to the style of the Vinazzola Film Festival, the jury will Later it was awarded to the heroine of "Chi City Cases 1980".
In other words, when you think I want to be a niche, I am not a niche, this is also a niche...
Therefore, when he felt Lu Qianshan's "What do you think?" look beside him, Qin Jue responded with a smile and a hidden gesture.
Lu Qianshan blinked in surprise.
What Qin Jue is comparing is the number 2?
The "Best Director" nominations just announced by the female host are Jean-Luc Breillat, Ronan Linde and He Xu.
In this order, is she referring to the second person, Ronan Linde?
Lu Qianshan was still surprised, but Mu Sisi came back to her senses and smiled imperceptibly.
If she were asked to choose, she would make the same choice as Qin Jue.
After all, the only two awards left are more important than the last. After "Best Director" there is also "Best Picture". Since it is usually impossible to win both, Mu Sisi certainly hopes that He Xu can win with "Daytime". "Rain" won the highest honor at the Venazzola International Film Festival.
"I announce that the winner of this year's 'Best Director' award is——"
Tedder Stephen, the last "Best Screenwriter", paused briefly and announced his expected name, "Ronan Linde!"
There was an instant burst of applause. Ronan Linde's film "The Call of the Mist" is really in line with the tone of the Venazzola Film Festival. It is the kind of film that anyone who knows anything about the film festival will think that this work can win an award. Now, as everyone expected, Ronan successfully won a grand prize.
Qin Jue nodded and applauded, then put down his hands for a moment and listened carefully to Ronan's speech.
Lu Qianshan and Mu Sisi were slightly excited because there were four works nominated for "Best Film" at the Venazzola International Film Festival: Francis Liu's "Neon Universe"; Jean-Luc Breillat's "Mr. Black and White Cat"; Ronan Linde's "Call of the Mist" and He Xu's "Day Rain".
Among them, Jean-Luc has already won the "Special Jury Prize (Second Best Film Award)", so he has made it clear that he will accompany him, so he doesn't need to consider it. And now Ronan is the "Best Director", the winner of the major award. The probability of winning is greatly reduced.
The only remaining opponent, "Neon Universe," is this year's hotly discussed science fiction film. In terms of the mysterious "routine" of the Venazzola Film Festival, such a popular film rarely wins awards, so in the end The answer is ready to come out——
Will it be? No?
Lu Qianshan was tangled in every possible way and his breathing was weak. Ronan's acceptance speech on the stage had not yet ended. He had already thought of the scene after a while and did not dare to breathe.
In his anxiety, he caught a glimpse of Qin Jue next to him. The man looked calm and composed, which made Lu Qianshan's breath stagnant.
Lu Qianshan: "..."
You should be nervous!
Qin was absolutely unhurried and had already made up her mind. She believed in Mr. He's strength and also believed in the strength of Longzhou Entertainment, but she rarely talked about it.
A few minutes later, Ronan came off the stage with the trophy, and the exciting moment finally came.
Is it the hard-core science fiction movie "Neon Universe" that has already been reviewed by the public?
Or will Ronan Linde, who is famous for his long shots and sense of atmosphere, be the dark horse and win two heavyweight awards in a row?
Or was it He Xu, who had not appeared at a special international film festival for a long time, who had the last laugh with his Dragon Kingdom movie "Daytime Rain"?
The atmosphere in the awards hall became somewhat solemn and became more solemn. With much anticipation, the chairman of the jury, Melia Finley, raised her hand to gently push up her half-rimmed glasses. After the host reported the nominated works, she slowed down her speech and said cautiously into the microphone:
"I announce that the winner of the 'Best Film' at the 82nd Venazzola International Film Festival is..."
Without any pause or suspense, Melia bluntly stated the result:
"'Day Rain'!"
Lu Qianshan and Mu Sisi's hearts skipped a beat.
bingo!
The thickest and most powerful music so far played throughout the audience. Qin Jue applauded and stood up to make way for He Xu. As the two passed by, she whispered in Chinese with a smile:
"You've been working hard."
He Xu did not miss these words of concern, he smiled and walked towards the podium with steady steps.
This is not the first time he has won the "Best Film Award" at the Venazzola International Film Festival. However, after so many years, he stepped on the steps again and received the golden lion-shaped trophy. His heavy mood is still indescribable.
"Here I am, shaking hands with my old buddy."
He Xu's fingers carefully touched the "Golden Lion Award" and he spoke with endless emotion, "Long farewell, old friend!"
There was a burst of applause from the audience that was not enthusiastic but full of respect.
He Xu's powerful voice seemed generous and gentle at this moment. He spoke in Chinese, and he trusted the official translators to convey all the content, which also demonstrated his self-evident confidence as director Long Zhou.
Lu Qianshan in the audience was deeply touched, and deeply reflected on his own style and magnanimity. He was even more ashamed than when he recalled Qin Jue's speech, and he was even more proud of He Xu. His admiration came from the bottom of his heart, like rolling water, and he could not stop talking. .
"When I stood here for the first time, my mind was still confused. Because the movies of that year were so good that they didn't need any modifications or comments. They were just: good-looking! People like to watch them."
He Xu smiled, and the deep affection and sincerity between the lines made no one present feel that the old man was showing off his qualifications and showing off his big name. Everyone could hear his strong feelings for the Venazzola International Film Festival and the film art itself. .
"——Martin, the chairman of the jury, said to me at that time: 'The land of Longzhou and the culture and art born on this land are so mysterious and attractive, and it is a new and vast world. I am very happy to be in the It's refreshing to see films here and thank you so much for your generosity in creating them and sharing them with the world.'
“Those words still stick with me to this day.”
He Xu spoke every word with a nostalgic smile.
He looks back on the past, not like a winner but like a witness. It can even be said that he is just a fanatical and affectionate fan. This fan loved movies and cultural and artistic creation back then, and this is still the case today. Changes Only young people have become old people, but their enthusiasm remains the same.
This acceptance speech was like a storytelling session, containing at the same time the peace of mind that the dust has settled and the enthusiasm to start again. After He Xu's speech ended, the host took up the topic with a gentle voice amidst the applause of the audience, and naturally led to an appropriate conclusion with almost no effort.
The awards ceremony officially ended. Then, the female host directed everyone's attention to the live screen, and connected with one of the three founders of the Venazzola International Film Festival, who was already gray-haired. After that, all the winners and the jury members went on stage to take a group photo...the sessions went on one after another as expected, and the atmosphere was light, friendly, and full of warmth.
In a moment, at 9:30 pm local time, the one-and-a-half-hour awards ceremony came to an end.
The guests left the venue one by one, and there was a red carpet to leave for the closing ceremony. A small number of attendees with ulterior motives arranged their clothes early and held up their skirts to face the many cameras that were squatting nearby.
Qin Jue stayed at the venue and waited for He Xu, and raised his hand to lend support to Mu Sisi, the only one of the four who was wearing an evening dress. There were far more cameras taking pictures of her than when she first stepped into this square hall. Even before she left the door, the "Pearl of the Sea" was already showing its weight.
"Not urgent."
He Xu greeted, so everyone stopped rushing to the red carpet and walked slowly towards the exit of the awards hall. During this period, they kept a little distance from each other to facilitate others to take photos and socialize.
"Hi, Zayde!"
While Ronan Linde was chatting with He Xu, Qin Jue heard someone calling his name.
Turning her head, she faced a handsome face with mature charm.
It was Herman Saavedra.
The veteran actor extended his hand to her with a friendly smile.
