Chapter 74 Tang Wen: The Golden Lion Award is so fair!

Chapter 74 Tang Wen: The Golden Lion Award is so fair! (Please collect it)
Reporters gathered on both sides, and the flashes never stopped since the first crew stepped onto the red carpet.

It was Tang Wen's turn. The host explained:

"Now, the crew of Into the Dust is coming towards us! Welcome them..."

The host introduced the names of the three people.

Tang Wen and Zhou Xun are somewhat famous internationally, and many foreign reporters have turned their cameras to them.

Amidst the countless flashes of light, Tang Wen saw the direction where the Sixth Princess and the domestic media were and greeted them.

The three of them stood on the red carpet for three minutes before walking into the venue and taking their seats.

The huge tiered conference hall gradually filled up.

Before the award ceremony officially began: the big screen lit up and subtitles were played in multiple languages.

[This year's jury voting scene was recorded in full, and the video will be played after the awards ceremony]

The jury chairman promised the media that the vote would be public.

But if it is made public before the awards ceremony, no one will watch the closing ceremony.

Therefore, we finally decided to release the video to the public.

It can be considered as an explanation to the public opinion.

Closing ceremony begins:
First, the awards for contemporary films were presented, and the grand prize went to the French.

The Special Jury Award was given to Zhu Wen from China.

Then, the jury came on stage and presented the main competition unit awards.

The atmosphere became tense.

Different from the original time and space.

Tang Wen's nomination squeezed out a film that was originally scheduled to advance.

After two rounds, the Indian film "Monsoon Wedding", which was supposed to win the final grand prize, won the Best Screenplay Award.

The strongest opponent was defeated.

Tang Wen curled up the corners of his mouth and smiled.

"The next award to be presented is the Best Actress Award."

Zhou Xun clenched his hand tightly, and influenced by her, Tang Wen also began to look forward to it.

If Zhou Xun can win the Golden Lion Award for Best Actress, her A-level mission of promoting someone will definitely be accomplished.

On the big screen, clips of actresses were played one by one, including Zhou Xun, of course.

"The Volpi Trophy for Best Actress goes to: Sandra Ceccarelli for "The Love That Goes Through Your Eyes". Congratulations to her!"

Zhou Xun's upright body collapsed instantly, and his hand around Tang Wen also loosened.

"There will be opportunities in the future."

"Then you should ask me to film more often."

"Will do."

This is not consolation. Xun Ge'er's aura is almost irreplaceable in the circle.

Zhou Xun calmed down and whispered, "As for the Golden Lion Award, only Gong Li has won it among domestic actresses. Zhang Manyu has not even won it."

Tang Wen patted her hands and said nothing.

In fact, Zhou Xun was a little unlucky. If this drama was performed next year, she might really win an award.

Because next year's jury chairperson will be Gong Li!
The actress walked off the stage after receiving the award.

It was Uncle Benshan's turn to be nervous. He said to divert attention: "To be honest, brother, I am more nervous than Xiaoxun. I didn't sleep well last night."

"It's human nature." Tang Wen smiled.

When the award presenter came on stage, Lao Zhao sat up straight.

"The winner of the Volpi Cup for Best Actor is Benshan Zhao from "Hidden in the Dust". Let us congratulate this actor from China!"

Lao Zhao was confused: "Brother! Why did I hear my name?"

"Brother, you are so humorous, it's you, come on stage!"

"Really me?"

"It's you."

Tang Wen pulled Zhao Benshan, who was a little at a loss, to stand up.

There was a wave of applause.

When the lights turned on, everyone saw disbelief and confusion on Zhao Benshan's face.

This is a simple actor.

"No, bro. I don't speak English either. Please come with me."

"Okay, I'll accompany you."

In fact, there was a translator who was sitting at the back of the venue, but Zhao Benshan forgot about it.

After going on stage, Lao Zhao expressed his gratitude and Tang Wen translated it truthfully.

Old Zhao bowed deeply and did not stand up for a long time. Tang Wen took the opportunity to introduce him in English:
“This actor is a household name in my country.

He is a comedian and has appeared on my country's Spring Festival Gala for ten consecutive years.

It was a massive gala watched by over a billion people simultaneously.

He was born in poverty and had a rough life, but he brought joy.

What a great actor!"

Hua Hua Hua...

Everyone was surprised and many people stood up and applauded.

The two men went off the stage and hugged Zhou Xun before they even sat down.

The Best Director Award was presented, and Tang Wen's face was among them.

Unfortunately, the presenter read out another name.

A director from Iran.

"Don't worry, brother. There is still a chance. There is a big prize below." Zhao Benshan comforted him.

Tang Wen knew, however, that his filming skills were average, so it was reasonable that he did not win the Best Director Award.

The Best Director award has been received.

There are still the Grand Jury Prize and the Golden Lion for Best Film left.

The former is also the Silver Lion Award, known as the second largest award.

Before the announcement, Tang Wen couldn't help but hold his breath.

In his opinion, "Hidden in the Dust" is good, but it is still far from the Golden Lion.

If I can win another award, the most likely one would be the Grand Jury Prize.

"…Ulrich Seidl, Dog Days"

The award went to an Austrian director.

Tang Wen let out a long breath, leaned back on the chair, and completely relaxed.

When the last guest came on stage, he laughed at himself in his heart: I put in a lot of effort, but only won the Best Actor award.

It's a bit of a loss.

"…The winner of the Golden Lion Award for Best Film is - Into the Dust, wen, tang!"

It was like a thunderbolt on the head.

The surroundings suddenly became quiet.

it's me?

Tang Wen was about to confirm with the people around him.

Excited Zhao Benshan and Zhou Xun hugged him from the left and right!
"Golden Lion Award! Golden Lion, we won the Golden Lion!" Zhou Xun screamed, forgetting the disappointment of not winning the Best Actress award.

Tang Wen came to his senses, buttoned up his suit, walked up to the podium and took the heavy trophy.

“Thank you for the love and recognition from the judging panel!

I would like to thank Mr. Han from China Film Group Corporation, Mr. Ren from Shanghai Film Group Corporation, and my alma mater, Beijing Film Academy, for their dedicated training and support!
I would like to thank my parents and my two elder sisters for working part-time during the holidays and paying for my tuition at Beijing Film Academy..."

Thunderous applause erupted from the audience.

After he finished his speech and bowed, Tang Wen realized that his eyes were slightly moist.

All the grand prizes have been awarded.

But no one left.

The big screen lit up again and began playing the scene of all the jury members voting.

After a public opinion storm, the atmosphere on the jury was depressing.

Finally, the American judge looked around and spoke first: "Into the Dust, my choice has always been the same. From the beginning of the vote, this is my choice in art! This movie is shocking..."

He had obviously thought of the words long ago, and praised everything from the script to the acting, from the concept to the humanity, for more than ten minutes in one breath.

The screenwriter + director Tang Wen was stunned when he heard this.

Boy, that’s what I thought.

Oh, so this set of shots has this kind of deep meaning for me.

Wow! Uncle Benshan's expression actually reveals such a complicated inner world!
……

Tang Wen glanced at Zhao Benshan next to him and found that he also looked a little confused.

The American judges took the lead and their reasons were impeccable, so most judges chose to follow their lead.

Indian judges also highly praised "Monsoon Wedding", but not many people followed suit.

This is the result of Tang Wen’s previous manipulation of public opinion.

In "Monsoon", Americans are rapists. The slogan of this film festival is "Down with Hollywood Imperialism"

Now the film festival slogans have been withdrawn.

If you continue to promote "Monsoon Wedding", it will inevitably make people feel that you, as a judge, don't care about Hollywood or the feelings of Americans.

The judges are all Europeans, and they still care about Hollywood.

Besides, yours is a film about cultural clash.

How can the core of "Hidden in the Dust" be as profound?

After watching the video, Tang Wen was the first to stand up and applaud.

This is applause from the heart.

The jury was so fair and just!

Winning the award yourself is definitely an artistic choice!

He and Lao Zhao stopped clapping until their hands were numb.

At this time, it was early morning in the country.

The news that Tang Wen won the Golden Lion and Zhao Benshan was crowned the emperor spread back to China.

All major media outlets and websites asked their staff to work overtime to revise the manuscripts overnight.

Before the awards ceremony, everyone had their own predictions.
