Chapter 1051: Vinazola International Film Festival Awards Ceremony (VII)

The magnificent orchestral music instantly filled the whole venue. Mu Sisi followed closely in the applause, smiling and clapping. Her extremely tense nerves finally relaxed completely.

Well, well, people should not be too greedy. The nomination is enough.

Mu Sisi breathed a sigh of relief while smiling. She had watched "Neon Universe" with He Xu these days. This science fiction film is excellent in both plot structure and plot arrangement. It has both amazing creativity and underlying logic from beginning to end. Almost every detail has a traceable development, which is linked together. The "Best Screenwriter Award" was awarded to playwright Francis Liu. It is well deserved.

Seeing Francis calmly go on stage to receive the award and give his acceptance speech, Mu Sisi suddenly felt uncontrollable nervousness.

This time it was not for herself - the next item of the "Best Screenwriter Award" was the "Best Actor Award".

Mu Sisi really couldn't help it, and turned her head slightly to look in the direction of He Xu and Qin Jue.

The two people in the field of vision all had a faint smile on their faces, looking relaxed and calm, one more indifferent than the other. I really don’t know whether to say that their acting skills are too good or their self-control is too strong. In this comparison, it is me and Lu Qianshan next to me who are more impatient.

This Qin Jue...

Mu Sisi retracted her gaze. The scenes of the filming of "Daytime Rain" more than half a year ago were vivid in her mind. Every shot was impressive, but she recalled it over and over again. The clearest scene in front of her was the scene that day when Qin Jue lowered his head to read the revised script in the nanny car. He was silent for a long time, and his fingertips smoothed the edge of the wrinkled A4 paper before raising his head.

At that time, Qin Jue said: "Director He, I won't cry."

Later? Later, the child walked back to the intersection with his guitar on his back.

Later, "Daytime Rain" was completed. After the rough cut of the film, Mu Sisi only took a glance at the end and couldn't help crying along with Mo Sen's tears without noticing.

A smile, a "thank you", a silent cry.

It interprets the conscience and kindness buried deep in Mossen's heart, and also reveals what kind of evil consequences can be caused by the mixture of school bullying and many other malicious intentions.

Mu Sisi still feels a prick when she recalls what He Xu said when he decided to change the ending.

In the original ending, Tian Gang woke up first after the car accident and fled the scene protected by Qiu Xue. The two little people left the city tremblingly and lived a mediocre but interdependent life from then on; while Mossen woke up later and did not lose his memory. He walked from night to dawn in a daze, lying on a bench in the park tired and dazed. When he was found by the police, the man was staring at the sun in a daze. The story ended with the police officer's somewhat puzzled sentence "Huh... are you crying?".

There was enough blank space, leaving only a faint melancholy.

But He Xu changed his mind and did not choose the ending of the original novel. He said to Mu Sisi: "I want a possibility."

A possibility if all this had never happened.

A possibility if Mossen did not choose the extremely evil option at those nodes of fate.

The car accident caused by the headlights accidentally flashing over the color of the clothes in memory, and the amnesia caused by the impact of the car accident, Mu Sisi knew that this was not actually a clever way to deal with it.

It was Qin Jue's acting skills that supported it.

So in the end, if someone was induced to cry uncontrollably by Mossen's tears like Mu Sisi, in fact, they were moved and sympathized not by "Mossen" as a person, but by the kind nature of "he had been beautiful", and the possibility that "he could have lived a beautiful life".

He had.

He could have.

Qin Jue's miraculous smile and tears and the previous cruel atrocities that were almost real laid the greatest regret in front of the audience in one fell swoop, and the whole film ended with the slide-like image switching and the young boy's tender voice and memories.

Those fresh pictures and warm scenes are all a flower bud swaying in the wind and has long been crushed.

When it is shown, it has ceased to exist several years ago.

The tragedy in such a structure is more bloody, and the core contradiction is so straightforward that it is horrible. You don't need to think hard to understand that the initiator of everything is school violence, and it is also school violence that destroys the clean and beautiful.

The theme is obvious.

And what did all this was He Xu's directing and Qin Jue's acting.

Mu Sisi took a breath slightly. Francis' speech on the stage was coming to an end. She quickly went through the "unspoken rules" of the award ceremony in the last gap. As we all know, the higher the level of the international film festival, the fewer awards the same work can get. To put it in reverse, since her "Best Screenwriter Award" has been lost, Qin Jue's "Best Actor" The chance of winning the award has increased in a sense.

Thinking of this, Mu Sisi's hand on the hem of her skirt quietly pinched the skirt.

Not far away, playwright Francis Liu walked down the steps holding his trophy. The big screen on the scene switched to the female host. She was trying to buy time so that the award ceremony could continue smoothly, ensuring that when the next winner stood up from his seat, the camera would not capture Francis on his way back, thus affecting the overall look of the ceremony.

The guests in the room were very familiar with this and were waiting quietly. Qin Jue's back was still firmly leaning on the back of the chair. He caught a glimpse of Lu Qianshan, who was sitting at the edge, who seemed to be simulating in advance how to quickly leave the seat to make way for her sitting inside. He couldn't help but feel touched and funny.

Is it time to announce the results?

Qin Jue looked at the stage calmly. Colton's letter was still in the inner pocket of her long suit jacket. According to her personal opinion, no award tonight could compare to a boy's sincere gratitude and the sincere smile on his face - they skipped all the honorary processes and reached the ultimate meaning. They unfolded another world line in front of her, and truly showed "avoiding the possibility of the worst option". This alone was more precious than all the trophies.

A gaze suddenly fell on Qin Jue's face. Her eyebrows moved slightly, and when her eyes moved over, she saw only the back of a head with medium-length dark red hair and slight curls.

The person looking at her was Herman Saavedra, the veteran actor, the strongest competitor besides Quentin and Glitt.

Qin Jue did not feel the obvious malice from his eyes, so he ignored it, straightened his back and looked forward, waiting solemnly but not stiffly for the final award announcement.

"The actors nominated for this year's 'Best Actor' award are: Gretel Brown, 'Call of the Mist'; Herman Saavedra, 'Blood'; Quentin Visconti, 'Searching for Uroda'; Qin Jue, 'Daytime Rain'."

The female host introduced the four award candidates one by one in alphabetical order. Qin Jue's official English translation is still Zayde Chin, which does not have an advantage in the ranking, but this small detail is not a big problem.

"Now, please invite the vice chairman of the jury, Ms. Velasquez, to announce the winners."

The host raised her hand to signal, and the big screen close-up moved to the last year's actress, Hiiragi Velasquez.

The judge with long light golden wavy hair smiled at the camera, and spoke in a beautiful voice and at a moderate speed:

"The winner of this year's 'Best Actor' is——"
