China Entertainment: I have been a director since 05

At this moment, the entire Venice awards ceremony was in complete silence, and you could hear a pin drop.

If you listen carefully, you can even hear the breathing of the host who is closest to the microphone.

Quiet, just quiet!
Has there ever been such an outrageous incident in history?
For the three major European countries, yes!

For the directors on the scene, in fact, many people have heard it, several times!
But it is rare after all.

For some Chinese people who are very concerned about the three major European countries, in fact, many people have heard of them.

As early as the 2003rd Berlin Film Festival in 53, the three leading actresses of the movie "The Hours", Meryl Streep, Julianne Moore and Nicole Kidman, jointly won the Silver Bear Award for Best Actress.

This is the first time that a "triple yolk egg" case has occurred at the Berlin Film Festival. The jury believes that the performances of the three actors are equally important and inseparable in the film.

At the 62nd Berlin Film Festival earlier this year, Guan Ling won the Golden Bear for "The Wind Rises".

At the 61st Berlin Film Festival last year, five leading actors, three male actors and two female actors in the Iranian film "A Separation" won the Silver Bear Awards for Best Actor and Best Actress, five in total.

At that time, the jury believed that the film profoundly portrayed social conflicts and the complexity of human nature through a multi-character group, and that the collective performance of the actors was indispensable.

At the 2006th Cannes Film Festival in Cannes in 59, Guan Ling was not yet popular.

Six actresses (including Penelope Cruz) shared the Best Actress award for Spanish director Pedro Almodóvar's film "Volver."

Why do many Chinese people know this?

It's right here.

The chairman of the jury at that time, the King of Sunglasses!

He is also the first Chinese jury chairman of the Cannes International Film Festival.

Wang Jiawei later explained in an interview that this was to commend the director's ability to coordinate group plays and the tacit cooperation among the actors.

Anyway, it was a big one.

Since then, Wang Jiawei has not been invited by the top three European organizations.

This incident also caused some controversy at the Cannes International Film Festival.

These are all multi-yolk eggs, not to mention double-yolk eggs.

Brother Chen Kai and Guan Ling’s Palme d’Or both have double yolks.

But this is for the three major European countries.

For the Venice Film Festival, no!

This is the first time!
Whether it is Berlin or Cannes,
These are unimaginable at the Venice Film Festival!

Because Venice is traditional, even double yolk eggs have only been created once in history.

And it's not a double yolk egg issued directly,
Whether it can be considered a "double yolk egg" is actually still undefined.

Because the second Best Actress winner was awarded the Special Golden Lion Award specially set up by the final jury!

At the 2005nd Venice International Film Festival in 62, the Best Actress award was given to Italian actress Giovanna Mezzogiorno for her performance in The Beast Within.

The French actress Isabelle Huppert was actually awarded based on the special Golden Lion Award.

Therefore, there has never been a real case of double yolk eggs in Venice.

Not to mention triple yolk eggs!
This is determined by Venice's conservatism and tradition!
The Best Screenplay Award previously only had the director and screenwriter given a title, but the actual award was a trophy.

But this time, how do you give?
Give three trophies or just one trophy?
If there is a trophy, it's for the screenwriter himself, so you'd better choose one of the three.

Give three trophies?
That's really outrageous. It's outrageous to the extreme!
Therefore, directors, screenwriters and movie fans around the world who were paying attention to the Venice International Film Festival awards ceremony all experienced a system outage at this moment.

……

At the scene, the few people who stayed behind from the Tai Chi crew fell silent when they saw their names being called out on the stage.

Eddie Peng's eyes sparkled, as if he was thinking about something.

Tony Leung's brows were solemn and his eyes were slightly narrowed.

Yang Tianbao was confused and excited, and his chest was heaving.

Stephen Fung was completely stunned, like a wooden chicken.

Although they were all silent, they could all see the meaning of this award.

Who says Chinese-language films in Venice are no longer popular?

That's great!
If you say this is not a gesture of goodwill, who would believe it?
This honor alone is enough to make Guan Ling a star in the history of the Venice International Film Festival.
Together with these three movies, it will explode all over the world~
He has written many books!
It's just that.

But this thing was too explosive.
Even the group of people who followed Guan Ling were a little dazed at this moment.

Until Guan Ling, who was still relatively calm, said something.

"What's going on?"

boom--

Many people jumped up on their chairs.

Ning Hao looked at Guan Ling with a twinkling gaze, "Director Guan, this trophy must be given to me, right?"

After Ning Hao said this, Zhang Ziyi finally realized what was happening and quickly said, "We also have a copy of this trophy for Vanishing Lover."

"You might even win the Best Actress award later. Why are you trying to snatch this from me?"

"That's not up to me. You have to ask Director David. Besides, you've already won a technical award."

Zhang Ziyi also saw that he couldn't give in at this time.
If you are an ordinary screenwriter, it is basically impossible to win the award.

Because the director’s name will be attached to the title of the first screenwriter.

But this person is Guan Ling. What if Director Guan doesn’t want him?
Because no one knows whether to give one or three.

Give me one, then there's nothing to say.

If you give three.

Anyone who doesn’t want it is a fool!

If you really want to give it away, don’t do it now, or you will have no chance later!

The voice asking people to receive their awards began to be heard from above, and then Guan Ling began to walk up.

Just a few steps, just a description in a flash, but the time at the scene almost froze...

……

And this moment.

The live broadcast on CCTV Movie Channel featured not only Tu Jingwei, but also three invited guests, one of whom was the famous musician Cui Jian, one was the producer of "Qinghong" Yisha, and the other was the famous writer Liu Zhenyun.

The moment when the voice on the live broadcast fell.

The entire live broadcast room came to a standstill, with deathly silence.

The host Tu Jingwei lost his voice.

Cui Jian coughed twice. Although it was summer, his body was already covered with goose bumps.

Liu Zhenyun widened his eyes and looked at Tu Jingwei very awkwardly, somewhat stunned.

Tu Jingwei and "Qinghong" producer Yisha looked at each other, their mouths open the whole time, never closing.

"I feel that this Best Screenplay award may bring about a huge controversy in the global film industry."

After a long silence, he watched Guan Ling walk to the stage to receive the award.

Cui Jian was the first to react and made his comment.

Yisha also said: "I admire Director Guan very much, but I have to say that the award setting this time is unconventional. Even if Director Guan was given a Golden Lion Award, I might not feel too shocked, but this award really caught my eye."

"When it comes to talking about the controversy, I have a different opinion."

Liu Zhenyun said, "In fact, I think the shock of this incident can be compared to Mo Yan's multiple nominations for the Nobel Prize in Literature."

"What do you mean?" Tu Jingwei, as a professional host, was just shaken, but now he reacted and quickly cue the program flow.

The reason for inviting guests to watch the movie together is essentially to avoid any accidents.

I didn't expect it to happen.

"Just now Xiao Cui mentioned controversy. In recent years, Mo Yan has been nominated for the Nobel Prize because his works Frog and Red Sorghum have always attracted wide attention in the international literary world and also caused some controversy.

But I think these disputes are meaningless. Previously, Chinese scholars were shortlisted for the Nobel Prize, and several of them were candidates for the Nobel Prize in Literature, including Mr. Lu Xun, but he declined.

Hu Shi was nominated many times but never won the award.

Mr. Lao She had a great chance of winning the award, but because he passed away, the award was given to Kawabata Yasunari instead.
Lin Yutang has been a candidate many times, but unfortunately he can only regret it.

The fact that Mo Yan was selected will itself become a hot topic in public opinion.

As for Director Guan, as we all know, he is one of the biggest and most famous Chinese directors in the world. His being shortlisted for one of Europe's three most influential international film festivals is itself controversial, regardless of whether he wins or not.

This is even stronger than the halo of a writer.

My point is that since I have won the award, I should not care what others think.

The stupidest thing adults can do is to keep giving others a lecture. Take care of yourself, don’t save others; those who can change themselves are gods, and those who want to change others are psychopaths.

Since this is the official final outcome, just accept the award openly.

This award must have been tested by the judges, and will also be tested by history!"

Liu Zhenyun's words made the people at the scene nod frequently.

This is indeed the case.

Although several people were shocked just now, the main reason was that this matter was unconventional.

But it is unconventional and it is also a decision made by the jury.

Among the judges for this year's session, there is only one director from Hua Xia Hong Kong, Chen Kexin, and the others have nothing to do with Guan Ling.

In this case, why should we care about other people’s opinions?
Tu Jingwei finally became serious and explained.

"As we have seen, at the awards ceremony of the main competition in Venice, we saw something we have never seen in our lives. Director Guan won the best screenplay award at this year's Venice Film Festival with the scripts of three films.

This was quite surprising to us, because just before the award ceremony, major Internet forums, websites, and major media at home and abroad were discussing whether Director Guan's scripts would conflict with each other. Now it seems that they are actually helping each other?

Perhaps this is also related to Michael Mann, the chairman of the jury of this Venice Festival.

Michael Mann's film style has always pursued realism, often focusing on the opposition and resonance of complex male characters, while also containing criticism of modern society.

His films have always used the city as an extreme narrative subject, thus reflecting the protagonist's struggle and the character's loneliness.

The three films written by director Guan Ling are obviously of this type.

Both the character's loneliness and the criticism of modern society are very much to his liking.

In Guan Ling's script, the character's loneliness and struggle are not only about men, but also involve women.

So maybe this is why Director Guan won three awards.

But that doesn’t matter.”

Tu Jingwei changed the topic and looked at the camera.

"The important thing is that at this moment, we can cheer, Director Guan has set a record again. He won the Best Screenplay Award in Venice, and it was the first time that three films won the award in the same main competition unit, which is the first time since the Venice International Film Festival was founded in 1932.

This is also the first time that a triple yolk egg has appeared in the Best Screenplay award at one of the three major European film festivals.

Perhaps this incident will still cause tremendous controversy in the future.

But at this moment, we need to emphasize that
The screenwriters of all three films are directed by Guan Ling.

So this is not only the rarest award ceremony trophy in history, but also the most valuable trophy.”

Liu Zhenyun also echoed: "I suddenly remembered a song."

"Oh?" Cui Jian became interested. "This is my major."

"It's him, it's him, it's him."

Liu Zhenyun laughed twice, and then the whole live broadcast room was suddenly filled with laughter.

……

And this time.

When the spotlight of the Venice Cinema Palace was projected onto Guan Ling.

When Tu Jingwei's commentary was projected into the ears of many people along with many images of people watching the live broadcast.

The entire Chinese-language film industry exploded in an instant.

A huge earthquake broke out in the entertainment industry.

Social media just collapsed.

The top ten hot searches on Weibo are all related to Venice.

#Guan Ling won the Best Screenplay Award at the 69th Venice International Film Festival#
#The first triple yolk egg award in Venice, Guan Ling won it alone#
#Three firsts in Europe! #
#Ning Hao won the Best Technical Contribution Award at the 69th Venice International Film Festival#
#What are the odds of "Perfect Stranger" and "Wild Tales" catching the lion? #
#Can Zhang Ziyi win the Best Actress award? #
#dispute?#
The server went down completely at 2am.

Many celebrities began to spontaneously forward the award-winning news.

They actually don’t know what the point of forwarding is.

But they knew in their hearts that if they didn't forward it, they would be targeted by those fanatical fans.

And in the future, perhaps the possibility of further advancement under Director Guan will only become a delusion.

……

Douban Movie Group,

A post titled "Is Guan Ling a time traveler?" was suddenly pushed to the front page.

Many movie fans are having heated discussions below.

"I analyzed every detail of Director Guan's previous works, Listening Girl and Taken, frame by frame. What I want to know is, where does Guan Ling get all his overseas experience? How can he understand the preferences of overseas people so thoroughly?"

"The person above is sick. There is only one awesome person like this in China. In your opinion, he must be a time traveler? He has been kneeling for quite a long time, right?"

"I'm trying to reason with you."

"It doesn't make sense to you. I know a little bit about fighting."

"Okay, my frame-by-frame analysis is pure conjecture. I give in."

……

Beijing, Dabieye.

Liu Yifei and her mother were watching the commentary on TV and saw Guan Ling winning the award.

Neither of them said a word, only sighed deeply.

Mother Liu looked over again as usual.
Very familiar,
It's speechless.
It contains a hint of regret and a hint of helplessness.
Liu Yifei understood that look very well, because her mother had looked at her that way many times before.

Liu Yifei wanted to refute.

"In your heart, do you wish you could treat me like a Barbie doll and give me to Director Guan? Or even have him carry me with him every day, just like carrying an air pump with him at all times?"

But she couldn't say this.

She was very worried about what would happen if she asked this question.

Liu's mother said a word in response.

That mentality completely collapsed.

So I can only remain silent.

Because she could probably guess what kind of answer she would get.

I am very clear about it.

Her mother should have rebelled by now. If Director Guan called her mother and said that she needed him tonight,
Liu Yifei believed that her mother could wash her classmate clean, and then buy underwear on the boat, pack it and have it delivered to Director Guan's home.

Thinking about it, Liu Yifei felt a little aggrieved.

That look is really hurtful, isn't it?

……

Midnight,

Yang Mi was sitting in the hotel, watching TV, feeling distracted.

recent,
She directed and starred in a short film called "Exchange Travel".

Although her schedule was very busy and she had almost no time, she knew that she didn't work hard and was totally unworthy of Director Guan, so she decided to do it herself for fun.

It’s easy to watch Guan Dao’s drama when it’s not appropriate.

When she was doing it herself, she kept wanting to curse, how nice it would be to just lie down.

What the hell?
Seeing Director Guan’s muscular figure, she suddenly felt itchy.

Then I took a photo and sent it to Director Guan.

……

The entire Chinese entertainment industry is buzzing at this moment.

All kinds of media, crazy addiction.

But everyone has a little expectation in their hearts.

The Best Screenplay Award has been won.

The remaining gold lions and silver lions?

Is there still a chance?
Many of Guan Ling's fans know that Director Guan currently holds many awards including the Palme d'Or, the Golden Bear Award, the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, the Oscar for Best Director, the Golden Globe Award for Best Director, etc.

Each one of these is an award that is out of reach for people in the entertainment industry.

Only the Golden Lion Award.

Director Guan had previously made a big investment in Venice.

It’s because of the animated film, but it’s true that it has never won the Golden Lion.

The only thing related to him is that "Let the Bullets Fly" won the Golden Lion Award, and it was his screenwriter.

But this definitely has nothing to do with Director Guan.

And this time, will there be a chance to win the golden trophy engraved with a flying lion?

Doubts inevitably exist in the hearts of countless people.

Although Director Guan is very awesome, we hope for Director Guan.

Even more awesome!
Everyone hopes that Guan Ling will transform into a cow and ring the doorbell - so awesome.

But is it really feasible?

……

When the camera turns back to Venice Cinema Palace,
In fact, many fans have already started breathing rapidly.

Guan Ling was on the stage and saw three trophies, so he quickly called Ning Hao and Zhang Ziyi to go up.

Three people stood on the podium at the same time.

With a smile on his face.

The dazzling light from the three trophies was projected into the eyes of everyone below.

But strangely, the light that burst out of their eyes was not golden.

It is a mixture of red and green.

Because someone is jealous,

Some people have green eyes. (End of this chapter)
