Chapter 1050: Vinazola International Film Festival Awards Ceremony (VI)
There are many interpretations of "The Clockwork Man". In addition to the common "the short film is intended to satirize those who are trapped in a rigid and stereotyped life", there are also opposite views such as "although the life represented by 'clockwork' is boring and mediocre, it is very fatal for ordinary people to be without it".
Other film critics analyzed and thought from the protagonist's actions and ending: those guys who hold a sense of superiority and manipulate the masses to make money and have fun, aren't they busy all day long, and have been trapped in the vulgar and rigid "clockwork town" unknowingly?
And a more philosophical extension: those who destroy the "free will" of others will eventually be deprived of their free will, and karma is nothing more than this.
Or the political level of opinion: rule rebellion and will liberation that do not go deep into the masses and do not have sincere sympathy for the masses will inevitably be buried in the status quo in the end, and the awakened will eventually be assimilated. The emperor's position has changed, but there are still emperors in the world. The person who pulled out the clockwork has a clockwork on his back, and the clockwork is still here.
There are many views, and they are endless.
"The Clockwork Man" won the "Best Short Film Award" for its excellent creativity and profound connotation, which is well deserved.
The award ceremony continued, and the next "Best New Director Award" was not suspenseful. As expected, the A-country female director Fana Stephen, whom Qin Jue had met at the dinner, won the crown.
In fact, there were five new directors nominated for this award, including Fana, which was the largest number that could be achieved within the scope of the award. Fana was able to lead the competition in the finals, which should have been fierce, which fully proved that this young and beautiful director and producer is indeed strong.
At this moment, she went on stage to receive the award, holding her head high as when she first met. There was no surprise or excitement on her face, but it was full of "it should be so", just like an excellent student who was fully confident of his score before the transcript was announced.
Qin Jue applauded politely. She did not watch Fana Stephen's work "Fatal Lover" due to lack of time and personal interest. She only heard Quentin mention it a few times. It is said that the shooting techniques used in it are novel and bold, and the relationship between the male and female protagonists and the development of the main plot are very exciting. It is a very memorable drama action film.
After Fana finished her acceptance speech, she walked off the stage gracefully. Just like the word "newcomer" in her award, she exuded the aura of a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers, proud and confident.
The director from France, Jean-Luc Breillat, had a similar expression to her, but his luck was not as good as the former, and he failed to "break through the siege". When the chairman of the jury, Melia, announced that the winner of the "Special Jury Award" was "Mr. Black and White Cat, Jean-Luc Breillat", his face suddenly became a little more subtly ugly.
After all, it is nominally called the "Special Jury Award", but everyone knows that the real name of this award is "Second Best Film Award". Jean-Luc was arrogant and this time he came for the final "Best Film Award", but he only won a silver award, so he was naturally dissatisfied. However, he was in the public eye after all, so he did not get angry, and still squeezed out a polite smile to receive the trophy from the last actress, Hiana Velasquez.
Qin Jue applauded and continued to calmly create the atmosphere. She had read the introduction and some short reviews of the film "Mr. Black and White Cat" directed by Jean-Luc. Some people said that the film was very imaginative and the details reflected the unique black humor of the country of France. Some people also said that the director's skills were not as good as before, as if he focused on the absurd and dense laughs, thus ignoring the connotation behind them, so that the whole film could not withstand scrutiny and was tasteless in the end.
In any case, the overall situation has been determined. The Venazola International Film Festival has its own set of fair evaluation standards. Even if Jean-Luc himself has some complaints in his heart, there will be no "rebuttal" and "complaint" procedures for him to choose.
So far, more than half of the awards for the 82nd Venazola International Film Festival have been awarded. The female host finished a string of appropriate transitions with a smile, and then the lights in the whole venue dimmed slightly, and the big screen switched back to the beautiful dynamic background picture from the live broadcast. The curtain dropped, and musicians walked onto the stage in groups of three or four, holding their violins. At the same time, Melia and others walked back to their front-row seats along the steps on the side of the stage.
This was the intermission, and it was also a time for the TV stations broadcasting simultaneously and the news media paying attention to the latest news to take a breather, reminding them that "you can write now" or "pay attention! The next is the highlight, please be prepared."
About a quarter of an hour later, the melodious sound of the violin fell, and applause rang out in the venue.
The female host, who had touched up her makeup during the break, returned to the stage. The three jury chairmen and vice chairmen who announced and opened the awards also sat on the stage again while chatting and interacting with the host. The second half naturally continued, and the first award to be announced was the "Best Screenwriter Award."
Qin Jue perked up a little.
"The works nominated for this year's 'Best Screenwriter' award are..."
The female host slowly announced the information of the candidate films one by one. In addition to "Daytime Rain", there are four other films competing at the same time, namely Jean-Luc Breillat's "Mr. Black and White Cat", Francis Liu's "Neon Universe", Ronan Lind's "Call of the Mist" and another director's "Chicago Case 1980".
The cameraman and the lens in his hand were not far away. Mu Sisi maintained a decent smile, and felt that she had used her lifelong acting skills at this time, so she didn't purse her lips repeatedly due to nervousness.
Needless to say, the distinctive style of "Mr. Black and White Cat" is the most popular science fiction movie this year. "Call of the Mist" talks about psychology and human nature. Even the police and gangster film "Chicago Case 1980" is full of dangers and suspense.
The intensity of this competition is outrageous!
Mu Sisi is of course confident in "Daytime Rain", but she also deeply knows that the success of this work is inseparable from He Xu's control and Qin Jue's performance. If you look at each aspect of "Daytime Rain" separately, it is not actually known for its plot.
Without destroying the smile on her face, Mu Sisi slightly gritted her teeth. For a few seconds, she regretted that she did not go to the bathroom to light a lady's cigarette to calm down and refresh herself during the break. On second thought, being able to follow Director He to the awards ceremony of the Venazola International Film Festival is a huge gain, and it is reasonable to be content. But... sitting here in person, who can resist looking forward to a better award scene?
"The winner of this year's 'Best Screenwriter Award' is——"
Just when Mu Sisi was anxious and had a little facial neuralgia, Ted Stevens, the winner of the last "Best Screenwriter Award", announced:
"Francis Liu! "Neon Universe"!"
The blind box of sequelae opened is: photophobia.
I originally thought that I would feel sleepy and tired just by seeing natural light. I thought that since I was used to having reversed day and night, I could just draw the curtains and turn on the lights to work. I didn’t expect that the situation would be even more serious. Artificial light would also cause stimulation. Now I am almost like a vampire. I draw all the curtains and only turn on the dim bedside lamp. Hmm…
The appearance of this chapter shows that rehabilitation is effective. I can still write. It’s not a big problem.
This is today’s (12.26).
The updates to be made up are: 12.20~12.24 five chapters. I will give myself a single day off on Christmas Day, so I won’t make up.
In addition: 1. Alliance leader extra update; 2. Thank you list
