Chinese Entertainment: Academic Director

Chapter 64 The general trend

Portal websites such as Xinlang, Wangyi and Sohu all updated the news on their websites as soon as possible.

"Yu Feihong is crowned the Queen of Venice!"

"After Gong Li, Yu Feihong became the second Venice Film Festival winner."

"Director Cao Yang helped Yu Feihong win the title of Queen in Venice."

"Yu Feihong won the Best Actress award at the 58th Venice International Film Festival for her performance in Empty Room."

"Yu Feihong won the Best Actress award at the 58th Venice Film Festival, becoming the second Chinese actress to win the Best Actress award."

"Yu Feihong's Journey to Winning the Best Actress Award at the Venice Film Festival."

“Good news: Yu Feihong won the Best Actress Award at the Venice Film Festival.”

"After Liu Ye won the Best Newcomer award, Empty Room made Yu Feihong the Best Actress at the Venice Film Festival."

……

All of a sudden, the three major portals updated a lot of articles, all of which were about Yu Feihong winning the Venice Film Festival Best Actress Award. It seemed that they had been prepared for this.

In Tianya Community, some people started to post comments under the post titled "Who will be the next best actress at the three major European film festivals?"

"No need to argue anymore, you can close the post now, the result is out, it's neither Xun Ge'er nor Zhang Ziyi, Yu Feihong just won the Best Actress Award at the Venice Film Festival."

Some people were not quite convinced and asked in a comment: "Is it true, Yu Feihong? With her acting skills, can she win the Venice Film Festival Best Actress Award?"

"It's absolutely true. I guess the groom Sou Hu should have heard the news by now. Yu Feihong really gave everyone a surprise."

"This... I still can't accept it. Her acting skills... Venice Film Festival Queen?!"

"Didn't you realize that before Li Xiaoran won the Berlin Film Festival Best Actress award, her acting in TV dramas wasn't that good. Her acting skills were about the same as Yu Feihong's."

"I have posted a thread about this before, and a lot of people said that the requirements for TV dramas and movies are different, saying that Li Xiaoran didn't try her best. What does Yu Feihong say now? Are you also trying to make excuses for her by saying that she didn't try her best in the TV drama?"

"I understand what the above person meant. Li Xiaoran and Yu Feihong both met a key figure, Director Cao Yang."

"Now that you've said that, I understand. It's over. I even followed a post to curse Cao Yang, the one who said he was just lucky to have met Li Xiaoran, who has superb acting skills, and that's why he won two Silver Bears."

"There was a post earlier saying that Yu Feihong would never win the Venice Film Festival Best Actress award, and a large group of people swore to support it."

"I suddenly remembered that in the past six months, some directors have publicly stated that if they were given a Li Xiaoran, they would also be able to win the Silver Bear. I wonder how they feel now?"

"How else could it be? I will definitely continue to say, give me a Yu Fei Hong, and I can also win the Venice Silver Lion, hahahaha..."

"Hey, don't say that, really don't say that, haha..."

"The person above, please delete your words immediately. Believe it or not, they really dare to use them."

"Haha...I believe it."

The top star in the circle looked at these posts with a dark face. He really couldn't understand how Yu Feihong could win the Venice Film Festival Best Actress Award with her poor acting skills.

Looking at the new posts and sarcasm that kept appearing, it felt like a slap in the face. The more I read, the angrier I got. There was one post in particular that read:
"The number one in the circle, write this down quickly, next time you can tell others that Cao Yang was just lucky to have met Yu Feihong. If you had a Yu Feihong, I could also win the Venice Grand Prix, haha..."

"The guy upstairs shouldn't be so shameless, right? After all, he just said that if Yu Feihong can win the Best Actress award, he has the same last name as Cao Yang, haha..."

"The best in the industry, congratulations, you're going to change your last name."

Those who come to watch the fun are never afraid of big trouble, so there were many comments.

"The best in the industry, congratulations, you're going to change your last name."

"The best in the industry, congratulations, you're going to change your last name."

"Congratulations, you are the top brother in the circle. You are going to change your last name."...

The top star in the industry was so angry that his face turned red and he swore, "I'll let you bastards be proud for a while. My movie has been finished, and it's still starring Jiang Wen's grandson. It will go to Venice next year.

I just don’t believe it. With Jiang Wen’s grandson’s connections, he can’t win a few big awards!

I'm a graduate student, and Cao Yang, an undergraduate, can do what he did. How can I be worse than him?"

……

When Yu Feihong came on stage, it was obvious that Fairy Feihong, who always appeared calm and composed, was a little excited this time.

Even her acceptance speech was halting, as she thanked many people in succession before thanking Cao Yang at the end.

She said: "During the initial filming, I remember clearly that the director scolded me 62 times that day. I thought he would be angry and would not treat me well, but he called me and Liu Ye over that day and talked to us about the scene for more than two hours...

Thank you, I am lucky to have met you, I am alive. Thank you to the jury for giving me this award, and thank you to the Venice Film Festival. "

Yu Feihong came back from the stage amid applause. As soon as she sat down, Liu Ye couldn't help but borrow her silver lion, compared it with his own, and shook it in his hand.

"You know what? They are exactly the same."

Then, he said with a smile: "I really envy Sister Feihong. You won the Venice Film Festival Silver Lion, and I won the Best Newcomer Award. There is no comparison."

Even so, Liu Ye was already very satisfied. Best Newcomer was also a Silver Lion, which was much better than getting nothing.

He is no longer an unknown new actor. Although he is not as successful as Xia Yu, who reached the peak as soon as he debuted and won the Venice Film Festival Best Actor Award with "Sunny Days", this starting point is already very high.

At least if we say it out loud, we all get Silver Lions, haha!
Cao Yang couldn't help but think that, in fact, based on Liu Ye's performance and role in the movie, his chances of winning the Venice Film Festival Best Actor award should be higher than Yu Feihong's chances of winning the Best Actress award.

But the jury only gave Liu Ye the Best Newcomer award, not the Best Actor award.

Is it because there are too many female judges this year and they are too biased?
Or is it because of the content and impact of the film?
Think about it, now in Europe all kinds of evildoers have stood up and spoken out for women, there are demonstrations and parades, it is as lively as the New Year. The jury giving Yu Fei the title of Best Actress is in line with the situation.

Will this girl be hyped up as an “independent woman” by the media when she goes back?

who cares.

The Best Newcomer award is a special award, and it is normal to give it to multiple people. The value of this award is just average. Compared with other major awards, it is more of a consolation.

But Yu Feihong also won a double yolk egg for Best Actress, tied with others, which is a bit abnormal.

With so much strength gathered together, it shouldn't be enough for her to just win a double-yolk egg Best Actress award.

Will there be any more?

Cao Yang began to feel a little anxious.

Next, the Best Actor award was given to Luigi Lo Sciocca for the Italian film "The Love in Your Eyes".

The award presenter came on stage to announce the best director award.

Cao Yang was nervous. He was unwilling to accept the Best Director award, but was also worried that he would get nothing in the end.

When the presenter announced that the winner of the Best Director award was Babak Boyami, the director of the Iranian film "The Secret", Cao Yang didn't know how he should feel.

That leaves the Grand Jury Prize and Best Film.

But Lao Tian told Cao Yang some disappointing news: there were still two films that had not won any awards.

Is there no more "Empty Room"?

　Three updates, no more for today. I have been a little worried these past two days. Thank you for your comfort and support, and thank you for your sincere opinions and jokes. In short, thank you for your support and love. I sincerely appreciate it.
