The Crown Prince of Huayu!

Chapter 257 A complete show

Naturally, Han Jiadong couldn't say that he wanted Tong Yi to reject him in public to dispel the rumor that Tong Yi had been dumped by him.

That would be too embarrassing for Tong Yi.

"It's very simple. I found that I like you and I don't want to be separated from you."

Tong Yi's eyes suddenly became brighter, but soon dimmed again.

At another time, she might still believe it.

But just after he complained to Su Yongxiu about his situation in the company, Han Jiadong and Su Yongxiu came downstairs to the company to see this...

How could she accept such a confession with peace of mind?
"Okay, you don't have to lie to me."

Tong Yi returned the flower to Han Jiadong: "I know you are taking care of my face, but just now I was just afraid that you would be embarrassed and humiliated by being rejected in public, so I took the flower. Don't think too much about it."

Hearing what she said, Han Jiadong couldn't say anything else. With his current situation, he obviously had no position to ask Tong Yi to date him.

When Tong Yi got off the bus.

After having a meal together.

After hearing what he said, Tong Yi hesitated for a moment and finally refused.

"You guys are back together again?"

"I'll pick you up tomorrow morning."

Early the next morning.

But she didn't know how attractive her unconscious actions were to men.

As soon as Tong Yi entered the elevator, she was already surrounded by colleagues who had seen the scene just now.

Both of these films were shortlisted for the main competition along with "Pamento".

"Were you together last night?"

The success of two consecutive movies has also made Li Yu more popular than ever before among film producers, and he was reluctant to receive film invitations.

Overseas, it also earned nearly 100 million in box office.

Her car is still parked in the company's parking lot.

"Wow! You are so happy! The international director personally sent you to work early in the morning."

"You have to do the whole show!"

"sorry to bother you."

"Tong Yi, what's going on?"

Han Jiadong controlled his eyes from wandering: "And the service of transporting major directors to and from get off work is not so easy to enjoy. No one has enjoyed it so far."

"Didn't you break up with Director Han Jiadong?"

Seeing his silence, Tong Yi looked even more sad, but soon returned to normal, turned around and started chatting with Su Yongxiu as if nothing had happened.

The final global box office is expected to exceed 500 million.

Although it is lower than the first part, it is still a huge profit.

Also coming together are the crew of "Di Renjie: The Tongtian Empire" led by Xu Ke, and the crew of "Jiabiangou" led by Wang Bing.

"It's just a small thing."

Han Jiadong slowly started the car.

……

The originally loose suit trousers were stretched without a trace of wrinkles in the twisted posture, showing the plump and round parts in front of Han Jiadong. Without touching them, just looking at them, you can imagine the amazing elasticity and feel.

However, after weighing the balance, he still took over CP's American team first.

Han Jiadong drove to the downstairs of Tong Yi's house, picked up Tong Yi, who had been prepared early, and sent him to the company. He also deliberately got out of the car to say goodbye to Tong Yi.

Han Jiadong has come to Venice again with the crew of "Patyta".

The originally fitting snow-white shirt on the upper body formed a round arc on the chest due to the twisting of the body. The shirt was pulled down and tightened around the waist. The waist was slender, but further down it was as plump as a mature woman. .

As a blessed place for Chinese-language films, the Venice Film Festival has always been very popular for domestic films.

"Iron Man 2" is officially released.

The effect is outstanding.

He said casually.

at the same time.

Han Jiadong sent the two of them home one after another.

Mid-August.

Tong Yi had already stretched out one foot and was still in the car. After hearing this, she paused and turned around: "No, I'll take a taxi."

Within half a month of its release, it had grossed more than 200 million at the box office in North America.

In addition, "Jingwu Fengyun·Chen Zhen" and "Sword Rain" also participated in the exhibition.

Especially this time, the chairman of the jury is Quentin, who is relatively close to Chinese culture.

The one who taught the host how to say "awesome" on the show.

Representative works include "Pulp Fiction", "Kill Bill", "Sin City" and other classic movies.

Soon after arriving in Venice, a lot of news about the film festival leaked.

It's also related to Quentin.

It is said that he had such disagreements with other members during the review process that they had a verbal conflict.

As for which work it was due to, there is no accurate information.

However, although people who know the inside story dare not reveal it, the media can guess!

It just so happens that two of the works shortlisted this time are related to Quentin.

"The Road to Fruitlessness" is directed by Quentin's mentor Monte Hellman.

"Somewhere" directed by Tarantino's rumored girlfriend Sofia Coppola.

The quality of both films is relatively average. Under normal circumstances, it would be impossible for them to win awards.

If Quentin insists on "promoting talents and not avoiding relatives", it will indeed cause dissatisfaction among other members of the jury.

After the film festival began, the screening effects of several Chinese-language films were the best in the entire festival.

Regardless of whether it is the main competition units "Sage" and "Di Renjie: The Empire of Tongtian", or the non-main competition units "Fist of Fury: Chen Zhen" and "Sword Rain", the venues are basically full.

It grabbed the limelight at the film festival and received a lot of praise.

Finally, after ten days of excitement, the awards ceremony officially began on September 11th.

When Han Jiadong appeared on the red carpet with the crew of "Sage", even though the important actors in the crew, Lei Jiayin and Wan Qian, were just newcomers, there was still a warm cheer.

Compared with the unknown person who no one knew when he came to foreign countries to participate in film festivals a few years ago, Han Jiadong is obviously different in terms of fame and influence at this time.

The "Pamentation" brought this time is also considered to be the biggest hit of this film festival.

"Do you think we have a chance to win the prize?"

Before the award ceremony started, Lei Jiayin couldn't help but excitedly asked Wan Qian next to her in a low voice.

On his right is Wan Qian, on his left is Han Jiadong, and on the further left is the heroine Jiang Wenli.

Wan Qian rolled her eyes: "How do I know?"

"I'm not asking you about the result, I'm asking you what you think."

"can."

"why?"

"Feel."

"..."

Lei Jiayin was speechless: "You might as well say it's because we were placed in the first row."

"Isn't it normal to be placed in the front row when the director is here?"

"But I think it's very difficult for us to win the award. It is said that Quentin likes to play unconventionally. The favorites usually don't win the award. Now there are rumors that he is planning to award the award to his rumored girlfriend."

"It's not like there's only one award. He can also give all the awards to his girlfriend?"

"But there are not many awards that we can win. I think there is a high probability that we will not win the actor award, and other technical awards will also be difficult."

Wan Qian hesitated, looked past Lei Jiayin at Han Jiadong, who was sitting firmly on Mount Tai, and said, "I have confidence in the director."

While the two were talking, the award ceremony had officially begun. As soon as we started, a compatriot won the award.

Wu Yusen won the Venice Lifetime Achievement Award.

Then there are the non-main competitive units.

After the non-main competition units were awarded, the first prize for the main competition unit made many people at the scene, including Lei Jiayin and Wan Qian, feel a little stunned.

Because it was Quentin's mentor Monte Herman who won the special Golden Lion Award for "The Road to Fruitlessness".

"It seems that the rumor is true!"

This idea couldn't help but pop up in many people's minds.

When it came to the Best Newcomer Award, Lei Jiayin and Wan Qian couldn't help but cheer up.

Although they know that there is little hope, if they can win the award, this is the only award that the two of them can win.

But in the end, the award went to Mila Kunis in "Black Swan."

Then, the best screenplay award went to "Sad Trumpet Song."

Not exactly good news.

Because this movie isn't particularly great, but it's very special.

It's so special that it seems to be customized according to Quentin's appetite.

For this reason, this film, which was not particularly outstanding, is considered one of the popular candidates for this film festival.

When she became the actress, she had another big upset.

Natalie Portman, the heroine of "Black Swan" who was originally the biggest hit, was eliminated directly. The winner was Arianne Labede of "Attenborough", a Greek actress.

At this point in the award ceremony, many people had gradually realized that something was wrong, and there was a lot of discussion at the scene.

"What's going on? It's all unpopular."

"Oh! What does he want to do?"

"Does he want to ruin the Golden Lion?"

……

The crew of "Sage" also started discussing with each other.

"It's really all unpopular!"

"I originally thought that we were the favorites and we would definitely win the prize, but now I'm panicking."

"Depending on the situation, the final grand prize really has to be awarded to his rumored girlfriend."

"Deliberately awarding more controversial awards to divert the fire from his girlfriend?"

……

The whole crew was pessimistic, but before they could discuss the outcome, they heard the name of their movie being read out on stage.

"The winner of the Silver Lion Award for Best Director at the 67th Venice Film Festival is Jiadong Han's "Pamentation". Congratulations!"

In an instant, the entire crew fell silent.

You look at me, I look at you, I didn’t react for a while.

Even other people at the scene didn't know whether to cheer or continue to question.

Because in their view, "Patyta" is the biggest favorite for the Golden Lion Award at this film festival, but now it only won the Best Director Award. And according to the film festival's usual egalitarianism, it is obviously impossible to give "Patyta" a gold medal again. Lion Award.

Han Jiadong himself breathed a sigh of relief at this time.

Quentin is doing this. To be honest, he is really not confident that he will win the award.

Now that I can bag the Best Director Award in advance, it can be considered a gain. At least I no longer have to worry about leaving empty-handed.

Moreover, for the director, the Director Award is a greater recognition than the Best Picture Award.

The best film is one that performs well in all aspects such as script, director, actors, etc. The role of the director may not be that important.

But for the Best Director Award, the script may not be good enough, and the actors' acting skills may not be top-notch. However, relying on the director's ability, an excellent movie can still be made.

Seeing Han Jiadong stand up, the rest of the crew finally reacted and stood up to applaud.

Everyone else in the room started clapping and cheering.

Although they may not win the final Golden Lion Award, Han Jiadong's Best Director Award is, in their view, the most well-deserved of all the awards today and deserves their applause and cheers.

After the Best Director award, the Silver Lion, the Grand Jury Prize, went to Jerzy Skolimowski for Necessary Killings.

A movie that is considered to be shot specifically to win awards is also considered unpopular.

After that, only the most eye-catching Golden Lion Award is left.

It was announced personally by Quentin, the chairman of the jury.

The scene also became quiet at this moment.

"Congratulations to "Somewhere" for winning the Golden Lion Award for Best Film at the 67th Venice Film Festival!"

When he read out this result with a smile on his face, there was an uproar at the venue. There was almost no applause, but boos filled the air.

This is the first time this has happened at the three major European film festivals in recent years.

So when the award ceremony ended, media reporters quickly surrounded Quentin.

"Excuse me, why did you award the Golden Lion to "Somewhere"?"

"Is Sofia Coppola really your girlfriend?"

"Did you give the Golden Lion to "Somewhere" because your girlfriend made the movie?"

"You finally announced the Golden Lion Award in person because you wanted to personally give this gift to your girlfriend?"

"Wouldn't your conscience be troubled by giving our sacred Golden Lion as a gift to your girlfriend?"

"Why did "Pietata" only win the Best Director award?"

……

Faced with crazy questioning from the media, Quentin practiced Tai Chi.

"The awards are decided jointly by our seven judges, not by me alone."

"Winning an award proves that the film has been recognized by the majority of our judges."

"I only look at quality, not people."

""Patheto" is very good, but the plot is flawed, as if the plot was deliberately designed to express a certain emotion, but the director's skill is undoubtedly the best in this film festival."

……

Han Jiadong was also asked relevant questions.

But he was not unhappy about missing out on the Golden Lion.

Anyway, I have already taken them.

The only thing I feel a little emotional about is that it is not easy to win an award. It requires the right time, right place, right people and the right people.

In the original time and space, "Sage" could get gold lions, but now I only have silver lions left.

Mingming chose the same film festival, and the chairman of the jury is relatively close to China.

In the end, because of a rumored girlfriend, the golden lion was gone.

After the news of "Patyta" winning the award came back to China, the domestic media did not feel regretful about winning the Golden Lion, but began to congratulate and report on Han Jiadong's win.

By the way, they promoted a wave of "Sorrow" which was released at the same time.

Ordinary people don't even know who Quentin is, let alone Quentin awarding the Golden Lion Award to his rumored girlfriend.

The reaction to this incident is basically: Han Jiadong won another award? Han Jiadong is so awesome.

Then, those who are interested will go to the cinema to take a look.

However, after all, the subject matter is there, and the movie does not have a lot of sexually explicit scenes like "Lust, Caution", so only a few people are interested.

In addition, Han Jiadong did not plan to promote it on a large scale.

In the end, it only took over 70 million at the box office.

After setting a record for "Shoplifters", Han Jiadong's worst box office performance.

The media reporters no longer mentioned winning awards, but started to question Han Jiadong's box office appeal in the most popular way.

Even if this movie cost only tens of millions of dollars, it has already made its money back by selling overseas copyrights.
