China Entertainment's Standout

Chapter 886 The only true god in the domestic entertainment industry, the focus of global attention
It was the 9th.

The Venice Film Festival has finally come to an end.

This water city is becoming more and more lively.

High-end dresses, luxury jewelry, etc. from major brands are all moving into the hotel.

Compared to the tedious red carpet preparations of female stars, Zhou Yutang still wears the same suit to death.

This time he was very polite and wore a bow tie.

After two media interviews in the morning, I met Bob at the hotel.

This old man really adapts to the local customs.

Having a hot fuck with a sexy Italian model.

When he saw Zhou Yutang, Bob dismissed the woman casually, gave her a bear hug, and said with a grin, "Zhou, you've really been in the spotlight these days."

"Man, at your age, take it easy."

Taking his eyes away from the model who was twisting her hips in an exaggerated way, Zhou Yutang joked, "Be careful not to die on a woman's belly."

“There’s an old Chinese saying.”

Old Bob suddenly switched to Chinese and said seriously, "Everyone will die one day, and dying on a woman may be the best destination for me."

After saying that, Bob, wearing a pair of sunglasses, looked around Zhou Yutang.

"What are you looking at?"

"Wow, there's no pretty lady walking the red carpet with you today, where is Ms. Fan?"

"She had other plans and went back two days ago."

There is no laughing matter when one is only 50 steps ahead. Zhou Yutang changed the subject:
"How's the progress of The Nun?"

"There was a small accident, but James was very dedicated and was dispatching on the set in a wheelchair. I came here after the film was finished."

The "Conjuring" series, led by Jiangdong International Pictures, is a well-deserved box office money-making monster that wreaks havoc in Hollywood every year.

This year's "The Nun" is also the latest spin-off film in the "The Conjuring" series, directed by James Wan himself.

The closing ceremony attracted much more attention than the opening ceremony, with fans and media from all over the world seen everywhere.

Domestic film channels and several well-known media outlets have also sent reporters to Venice to obtain first-hand news from the film festival.

Before leaving the red carpet, Zhou Yutang gave his old acquaintance A Fei a brief interview of several minutes.

As soon as he finished answering the question, Old Bob interrupted, "Nihao, I'm Bob, Mr. Zhou Yutang's partner."

E's enthusiasm was so unrestrained that he almost knocked Ah Fei away.

"Hello, Mr. Bob, your Chinese is very good." Ah Fei praised politely.

"Crab."

"Excuse me, what are your expectations for Joker's performance at the awards ceremony tonight?"

"There is no doubt that a genius like Zhou deserves all the admiration in the world."

If Zhou Yutang hadn't felt it was corny and blushed, and had pulled him away, Lao Deng would probably have continued to brag.

It was almost time, and Zhou Yutang got on the car that the organizer came to pick him up.

Under the guidance of the staff, we arrived at the waiting area.

"Joaquin, how do you feel?"

"I don't know what to say."

The suit-wearing Phoenix Bear spread his hands and said, "I'm a little nervous."

Joaquin Phoenix, who had just finished filming this movie, was so thin that he looked like a monster, and his whole body was gloomy and mad.

After more than half a year, I have finally adjusted.

"I've taken it once, and I'll take it again today."

Bob said auspicious words, and Phoenix smiled and said, "I hope so."

The two brothers in the Phoenix family are both gifted.

Joaquin Phoenix won the Volpi Cup Best Actor Award for "The Master" at the 69th Venice International Film Festival.

This year he also won the Cannes Best Actor Award for "You Were Never Really Here".

If he wins another Volpi Cup today, he will be crowned the Best Actor at the Venice Film Festival twice, and will have won two of the three major film festivals within a year.

That was really like her mother opening the door for heaven, it was really heaven-defying.

The opportunity to create unprecedented glory is right in front of him, and no matter how calm Joaquin Phoenix is, it is a little difficult for him to control himself.

As they were talking and laughing, they suddenly heard an uproar on the red carpet and everyone's eyes were drawn over like a magnet.

It turns out that Jennifer Lawrence is showing off her skills again.

My cousin wore a Christian Dior haute couture dress today, which was quite bold.

The V-neckline reaches the abdomen, and the entire dress is made of transparent tulle.

Except for the part that is about to appear but is covered by two petals, the rest is vague and seems transparent.

This outfit is very consistent with my cousin's personality.

Likes to be in the limelight and attract attention.

But this time she didn't fall on the red carpet.

The movie "Mother" starring her was also shortlisted for the main competition unit, so she should have a chance to compete for the Best Actress award.

Zhou Yutang just took a glance and quickly looked away.

During the few days in Italy, the two Goryeo concubines had a round-the-clock battle with Teacher Fan.

Now he was completely in sage mode, wanting only to look up at the vastness of the universe and look down at the abundance of species.

It’s a pity that General Fan is not here.

Otherwise, how could the dragon robe and tiger skirt allow this foreign woman to show off her power and beauty?

There were even more people coming to walk the red carpet than at the opening ceremony.

There were far fewer people attending the closing ceremony red carpet.

The staff came to remind them that it was finally Zhou Yutang's turn to lead the "Joker" crew across the red carpet.

"Ahhh, boss, I'm an international student from Germany!"

There was a sudden explosion like spring thunder outside the red carpet isolation zone, and everyone looked at them sideways.

Zhou Yutang smiled and waved.

I underestimated the enthusiasm of studying abroad. Germany's blitzkrieg on Italy was a mistake.

Leave your name on the autograph wall on the red carpet, followed by regular media interactions.

Under the guidance of the staff, we entered the theater and the "Joker" crew was seated in the second row.

After a while, the chairman of the Venice Film Festival Organizing Committee slowly walked onto the stage to deliver his opening speech.

Then the jury appeared collectively, lined up in a row, and officially began the award ceremony.

There is a 6-hour time difference between Italy and China. It is only a little after six o'clock here, but it is already late at night in China. However, there are still many people paying attention to this award ceremony.

After all, the emperor of domestic entertainment is heading to Venice, which is definitely worth looking forward to.

Several portal websites broadcast news in real time, and the live broadcast room is quite lively.

Beijing Film Academy, girls’ dormitory.

No one in the dormitory can sleep tonight, and it is very lively with the chattering of people.

Zhou Ye rested his white and tender feet on the chair, looking at the laptop screen.

Even Guan Xiaotong, who has been chatting on the phone with her mysterious boyfriend recently, rarely shows off her affection, which has been teased by her roommates:
"Hey, Xiaotong, why don't you chat with your brother tonight?"

"Who is it that is so mysterious and won't let us know?"

My roommate Xu Zijun blinked and asked, "Is he from our department?"

"I guess it's Chen Bohao?"

Apart from filming on the set, Guan Xiaotong spends most of her time in school.

As for the matter of love, outsiders may not know, but it is definitely not a secret to those around you.

But she kept it a secret and did a good job of keeping it a secret, so it was inevitable that people would be curious.

"Don't make blind guesses, he's not from our school."

Guan Xiaotong changed the subject and asked, "Where are we now?"

"It seems to be some kind of Horizon Unit award."

"Xiao Ye, what should I do? I'm so nervous!"

"me too."

"Looking at the comprehensive ratings in the program brochure, I feel like the Grand Commander has a good chance."

Several girls were chatting, showing off their midnight snacks, and watching the live broadcast. According to the process of the Venice Film Festival, the various focus units at the beginning are just appetizers.

Several Chinese films that were shortlisted for the VR unit were ultimately wiped out and none of them made it out.

When entering the main competition unit, the atmosphere became solemn.

Marcello Mastroianni, the Italian actor who has won the Cannes Film Festival Best Actor Award twice, gave the Best Newcomer Award to Charlie Plummer, the star of "Racing Pete".

The Englishman had an expression of incredible surprise on his face.

Since then, he has become a rising star.

"."

"Best Screenplay Award: Martin McDonagh, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri."

"The Volpi Cup for Best Actress goes to Charlotte Rampling for Hannah. Congratulations!"

As the award results were announced one by one by the presenters, some were disappointed, some were ecstatic, and some were full of anticipation.

"The Volpi Cup for Best Actor goes to Kamal Al Barsha for Shame."

The voices of the jury members rang out before the thunderous applause.

"Joaquin."

"Zhou, I'm fine."

Joaquin Phoenix looked relieved and gave a rather helpless smile: "I was mentally prepared."

In the history of the three major European film festivals, only three people have been crowned the Venice Film Festival Best Actor twice.

Spanish actor Javier Bardem also won the Venice Film Festival Best Actor Award for his performances in "Jam, Ham" in 1992 and "No Country for Old Men" in 2007.

Toshiro Mifune, the first Asian actor to win the Venice Film Festival Best Actor award, won the award twice in 1961 for Yojimbo and 1965 for Red Beard. He is a legendary figure in the Japanese film hall of fame.

There is also the French actor Jean Gabin from last century.

"Think on the bright side."

Old Bob also poked his head out and said comfortingly: "At least we still have hope of winning the grand prize."

"The Silver Lion Award for Best Director goes to Xavier Legrand for All He Has to Give. Congratulations!"

Another important award was announced, and Zhou Yutang and the people around him clapped softly.

I watched this movie a few days ago. It is a film that denounces domestic violence and judicial dilemmas, and it has quite profound connotations.

"The Grand Jury Prize Silver Lion goes to Guillermo del Toro for The Shape of Water!"

“The exploration of loneliness and love, the perfect combination of fantasy and humanity, this is undoubtedly an excellent work that makes people think deeply!”

"Wow!"

There was a sudden commotion in the dormitory of Beijing Film Academy for Girls.

"There's only one Golden Lion left."

"Please, please, I'm willing to trade Ono's smaller breasts for the Grand Commander to win the award!"

"I'm willing to trade Ren Yumeng's ten years of singleness for the Grand Commander to win the Golden Lion Award!"

"Amitabha, may you be blessed with infinite happiness, and may Jesus bless you"

Zhou Ye's heart beat faster as he watched Annette Bening, the judge who was wearing a women's suit, come on stage.

Looking inside the venue, even Zhou Yutang unconsciously put down his crossed legs and sat up straight.

The Adam's apple rolled between the slender neck.

The atmosphere has been enhanced to this point.

It seems a bit unreasonable not to get excited.

"Golden Lion Award for Best Film, the winner is"

The rustling sound of the award presenter opening the envelope was amplified ten times through the microphone, successfully whetting the audience's appetite.

The American female director paused, then smiled and read out the last name:

"Zhou Yutang, Joker, congratulations!"

Wonderful clips from "Joker" began to play on the big screen.

As the clown danced wildly on the steps, the audience suddenly burst into unprecedented applause.

All eyes were focused on Zhou Yutang.

"Ah! I got it! I really got it!"

When Zhou Ye heard the name of the Golden Lion Award winner, he was so excited that he almost jumped out of his seat and suddenly let out a groundhog-like scream.

With the women's dormitory as the center, one can clearly hear the cheers and stomping sounds coming from next door and upstairs. At this moment, there is a terrifying resonance, as if the entire dormitory building is in high-frequency vibration.

"The Grand Commander is awesome!"

"Report! Golden Lion Award, win it!"

"I'm really looking forward to this movie. I can't even imagine a comic book movie winning the Golden Lion Award."

"Does anyone know when this movie will be released in China?"

"."

The domestic Internet was already boiling with excitement. Bob at the scene stood up before Zhou Yutang and gave him a solid hug, grinning:

"Zhou, I told you that tonight will be a night of harvest!"

After celebrating briefly with Fenghuangzai and others, Zhou Yutang waved and slowly walked onto the stage.

"Congratulations, Mr. Zhou."

Annette Bening, the judge, was a kind old lady with a friendly smile on her face. She handed the trophy to Zhou Yutang and gave her a hug.

"Thank you, Ms. Anne."

This old lady has some connection with Zhou Yutang. She and Jamie Bell co-starred in the film adaptation of Peter Turner's memoir "Movie Stars Are Forever in Liverpool".

And Zhou Yutang happens to be the owner of Liverpool Club.

The thunderous applause just now seemed to have been paused and quieted down in an instant.

Look at the young man standing in the center of the stage.

He lowered his head slightly, and his deep eyes fell on the winged lion standing tall.

The lion's front paw is pressed on an open book with the words "PAX TIBI MARCE EVANGELISTA MEUS" engraved in Latin on the page.

It means "Peace be with you, Mark, my evangelist."

The lights on the stage forcibly cast physical light and shadow on that face with extremely superior lines.

A hormonal breath full of power and wildness gushed out.

It seems to be in harmony with the gorgeous stage lights, and it is actually a bit dazzling.

“Thank you to the judges on the jury for this wonderful evening, it means a lot to me.”

Zhou Yutang weighed the heavy Golden Lion trophy in his hand, with a gentle smile on his face:
“A few years ago, I was preparing for this film, using realistic techniques to reconstruct the characters in the comics. It was also very interesting to watch the alienation of human nature in extreme environments.

Joaquin Phoenix's performance gave the Joker a soul. This award also belongs to you, and it is also a recognition of the hard work of the entire team."

After he finished his acceptance speech, thunderous applause broke out again.

“I really got it”

Poet Chen's "Legend of the Demon Cat" was only screened for promotion, so he returned to China as early as the 7th and did not attend the subsequent closing ceremony and awards ceremony.

I was staying up late at home and saw the moment Zhou Yutang raised the Golden Lion trophy.

Poet Chen's eyes naturally revealed a hint of envy.

The youngest Chinese director to win the Golden Lion Award; the first comic-adapted superhero film to win the biggest award at the three major European film festivals.
It can be expected that Zhou Yutang will soon become the focus of attention in the global film and television industry.

The most important Golden Lion Award has been announced, and tonight’s award ceremony has come to an end.

Zhou Yutang took Joaquin Phoenix to show the trophy and accept media interviews.

The news had already been transmitted back to the country in real time, even though it was already past 1:30 in the morning.

However, the professional Chinese media were still working overtime and soon the news was on the headlines of the film and television sections of the entire network.

[The 76th Venice Film Festival ended, and Zhou Yutang's film "Joker" won the Golden Lion Award for Best Film! ]

[The Night of Miracles! The First Comic-Adapted Superhero Wins Venice! ]

[The moment when the Grand Commander holds up the Golden Lion trophy! ]

[The youngest Golden Lion director in China, winner of awards at three major European film festivals! ]

【.】

Not only did it make headlines in domestic media, but film and television media in Asia and even the world were also reporting on this matter.

Overnight.

The photo of Zhou Yutang holding the Golden Lion, looking high-spirited, was reported by media around the world.
