Chapter 1053: Vinazola International Film Festival Awards Ceremony (End)

The entertainment media in the front row who were qualified to enter the award ceremony hall were snapping their shutters, vying to take pictures of Qin Jue standing on the stage holding the "Pearl of the Sea" trophy.

Originally, Qin Jue was from Longzhou, and his popularity in his own country was not very high, let alone the EU Federation. However, his acceptance speech was sincere, easy-going and humorous, and his attitude and wording were all appropriate and decent. Anyone who heard it would have a considerable good impression of this unfamiliar Longzhou face.

Lu Qianshan was in a complicated mood. He actually looked forward to Qin Jue's serious talk on the rise of Longguo's entertainment on the stage. After all, the last time a Longguo film was shortlisted for the Venazola International Film Festival was four years ago, and the "Pearl of the Sea" actor with an oriental face had not been seen for thirty years. Qin Jue's ability to receive such an honor should have been a good opportunity to "promote the prestige of our country."

But... after listening to Qin Jue's speech, Lu Qianshan realized that he had not considered it properly.

He still couldn't change his "inferiority and pride" cultural identity. Think about it from another perspective. There are so many films participating in the Venazola International Film Festival. The guests have different skin colors and looks from countless countries. Even if Longguo is one of the most powerful countries, it is just a part of it. Why do we have to talk about politics in the field of culture and art, as if we are the only special one?

If Qin Jue really started to speak passionately about "Our Longguo's movies have stood up! Our entertainment index will rise all the way!", the scene would be inexplicable. Instead, it would give people a sense of "what you care about most when you have nothing", which made everyone present very embarrassed.

Now let's look back at Qin Jue's speech. First, he thanked the jury for their fair judgment. Then, he expressed his appreciation and love for the film festival itself. Then, he directly mentioned the works of his competitors without any gunpowder or sarcasm. He praised them sincerely and took care of everyone's mood. Then he returned to the film he starred in, thanked the audience and colleagues, and even helped Mu Sisi cue the precious close-up in an extremely friendly, appropriate and humorous way.

He is really... so good at talking.

After listening to these words, I just felt that this new actor who I had never met was humble and interesting, a very gentlemanly and friendly actor, who was both capable and easy to get along with. Wouldn't his impression score go up? ——Then everyone will remember that this actor is from Longzhou!

This Qin Jue...

He is only 20 years old this year, about the age of coming of age, but his high emotional intelligence makes Lu Qianshan, who is a few years older, feel ashamed.

No wonder the old man values ​​this child so much.

Lu Qianshan's thoughts turned around and around, and he chewed out several flavors. At this time, Qin Jue had been bathed in flashlights on the stage. He walked down the stage with the trophy with a smile, and his steps were slightly faster so as not to delay time, and at the same time, he did not affect the proper etiquette. Along the way, he met Quentin, Glitt, and Herman, who was smiling, and exchanged friendly glances.

The award ceremony continued, and there were also four actors nominated for the "Best Actress" award, from the remake movie "Peerless Wind", the science fiction film "Neon Universe" written by Francis Liu, the suspense action police film "Chicago Case 1980" and the female-themed road movie "Start Again".

The competition looked fierce, but in fact, there was not much suspense. The final round of the finals was to choose one of the latter two, and in the end, as expected, Carolina Galvin, the leading actress of "Chicago Case 1980", won the crown.

To be honest, Carolina and Cen Yi's situations are somewhat similar. They have been runners-up for many years and always returned with regrets. This time, they finally won the "Pearl of the Sea" trophy for Best Actress. They were so excited that they shed tears on the scene.

Same session, different fate. It can be predicted that Qin Jue, who won the Best Actor award shortly after his debut, will probably be pulled out by the media reporters as a control group. However, everyone has his own destiny. Qin Jue went through the gates of life and death when filming "Daytime Rain". Only He Xu and other insiders know the danger. "Effort" never needs to be quantified and compared. Only the outside world cares about these messy gimmicks, so they repeatedly try to attract attention and topic.

After Carolina choked up and gave her acceptance speech, the finale of the "Best Director Award" also came to the presentation stage.

Lu Qianshan and Mu Sisi both breathed a sigh of relief. This is one of the four nominations for "Daytime Rain".

In comparison, Qin Jue was much calmer. She vaguely felt the routine of the jury: the Venazola International Film Festival has always been known for its avant-garde and niche. Its own Best Actor is the kind of award that is "very bold, but it is normal when you think that this is Venazola." The same is true for Carolina. When everyone thought that the female lead of "Starting Again" should be selected according to the style of the Venazola Film Festival, the jury awarded the Best Actress to the female lead of "Chicago Case 1980".

In other words, when you think I want to be niche, I am not niche, which is also a kind of niche...

So, when Qin Jue felt the gaze of Lu Qianshan beside him, "What do you think?", he returned a smile and a hidden gesture.

Lu Qianshan blinked in surprise.

Qin Jue compared the number 2?

The nominees for "Best Director" just announced by the female host are Jean-Luc Breillat, Ronan Lind and He Xu.

In this order, she is referring to the second one, that is, Ronan Lind?

Lu Qianshan was still in doubt, but Mu Sisi came to her senses and smiled barely perceptiblely.

If she were asked to choose, she would make the same choice as Qin Jue.

After all, the only two awards left are more important than the last. After "Best Director" there is also "Best Picture". Since it is usually impossible to win both, Mu Sisi certainly hopes that He Xu can win with "Daytime". "Rain" won the highest honor at the Venazzola International Film Festival.

"I announce that the winner of this year's 'Best Director' award is——"

Tedder Stephen, the last "Best Screenwriter", paused briefly and announced his expected name, "Ronan Linde!"

There was an instant burst of applause. Ronan Linde's film "The Call of the Mist" is really in line with the tone of the Venazzola Film Festival. It is the kind of film that anyone who knows anything about the film festival will think that this work can win an award. Now, as everyone expected, Ronan successfully won a grand prize.

Qin Jue nodded and applauded, then put down his hands for a moment and listened carefully to Ronan's speech.

Lu Qianshan and Mu Sisi were slightly excited because there were four works nominated for "Best Film" at the Venazzola International Film Festival: Francis Liu's "Neon Universe"; Jean-Luc Breillat's "Mr. Black and White Cat"; Ronan Linde's "Call of the Mist" and He Xu's "Day Rain".

Among them, Jean-Luc has already won the "Special Jury Prize (Second Best Film Award)", so he has made it clear that he will accompany him, so he doesn't need to consider it. And now Ronan is the "Best Director", the winner of the major award. The probability of winning is greatly reduced.

The only remaining opponent, "Neon Universe," is this year's hotly discussed science fiction film. In terms of the mysterious "routine" of the Venazzola Film Festival, such a popular film rarely wins awards, so in the end The answer is ready to come out——

Will it be? Isn't it?

Lu Qianshan was tangled in every possible way and his breathing was weak. Ronan's acceptance speech on the stage had not yet ended. He had already thought of the scene after a while and did not dare to breathe.

In his anxiety, he caught a glimpse of Qin Jue next to him. The man looked calm and composed, which made Lu Qianshan's breath stagnant.

Lu Qianshan: "..."

You should be nervous!

Qin was absolutely unhurried and had already made up her mind. She believed in Mr. He's strength and the strength of Longzhou Entertainment, but she rarely talked about it.

A few minutes later, Ronan came off the stage with the trophy, and the exciting moment finally came.

Is it the hard-core science fiction movie "Neon Universe" that has already been reviewed by the public?

Or is it that Ronan Linde, who is famous for his long shots and sense of atmosphere, is a dark horse and wins two heavyweight awards in a row?

Or was it He Xu, who had not appeared at a special international film festival for a long time, who had the last laugh with his Dragon Kingdom movie "Daytime Rain"?

The atmosphere in the awards hall became somewhat solemn and became more solemn. With much anticipation, the chairman of the jury, Melia Finley, raised her hand to gently push up her half-rimmed glasses. After the host reported the nominated works, she slowed down her speech and said cautiously into the microphone:

"I announce that the winner of the 'Best Film' at the 82nd Venazzola International Film Festival is..."

Without any pause or suspense, Melia bluntly stated the result:

"'Day Rain'!"

Lu Qianshan and Mu Sisi's hearts skipped a beat.

bingo!

The thickest and most powerful music so far played throughout the audience. Qin Jue applauded and stood up to make way for He Xu. As the two passed by, she whispered in Chinese with a smile:

"You've been working hard."

He Xu did not miss these words of concern, he smiled and walked towards the podium with steady steps.

This is not the first time he has won the "Best Film Award" at the Venazzola International Film Festival. However, after so many years, he stepped on the steps again and received the golden lion-shaped trophy. His heavy mood is still indescribable.

"Here I am, shaking hands with my old buddy."

He Xu's fingers carefully touched the "Golden Lion Award" and he spoke with endless emotion, "Long farewell, old friend!"

There was a burst of applause from the audience that was not enthusiastic but full of respect.

He Xu's powerful voice seemed generous and gentle at this moment. He spoke in Chinese, and he trusted the official translators to convey all the content, which also demonstrated his self-evident confidence as director Long Zhou.

Lu Qianshan in the audience was deeply touched, and deeply reflected on his own style and magnanimity. He was even more ashamed than when he recalled Qin Jue's speech, and he was even more proud of He Xu. His admiration came from the bottom of his heart, like rolling water, and he could not stop talking. .

"When I stood here for the first time, my mind was still confused. Because the movies of that year were so good that they didn't need any modification or criticism. They were just: good-looking! People like to watch them."

He Xu smiled, and the deep affection and sincerity between the lines made no one present feel that the old man was showing off his qualifications and showing off his big name. Everyone could hear his strong feelings for the Venazzola International Film Festival and the film art itself. .

"——Martin, the chairman of the jury, said to me at that time: 'The land of Longzhou, and the culture and art born on this land are so mysterious and attractive, and it is a new and vast world. I am very happy to be in the It's refreshing to see films here, and I'm so grateful for your generosity in creating them and sharing them with the world.'

“Those words still stick with me to this day.”

He Xu spoke every word with a nostalgic smile.

He looked back on the past, not like an award winner but like a witness. It can even be said that he is just an enthusiastic and passionate fan. This fan loved movies and cultural and artistic creations in the past, and it is still the same today. The only thing that has changed is that the young man has become an old man, but the enthusiasm remains.

This acceptance speech is like a storytelling meeting, with both the peace of mind of settling down and the enthusiasm of getting ready to start again. After He Xu's speech, the host took up the topic in a mellow voice amid the applause of the audience, and naturally led to a proper conclusion with almost no effort.

The award ceremony officially ended. Afterwards, the female host directed everyone's attention to the live screen and connected with one of the three founders of the Venazola International Film Festival, who was already gray-haired. After that, all the winners and the jury members took the stage to take a group photo... The links were carried out one after another as expected, and the atmosphere was light, friendly and full of warmth.

In a moment, at 9:30 pm local time, the one-and-a-half-hour award ceremony came to an end.

The guests left the venue one by one, and there was also a red carpet to walk on for the closing ceremony. A small number of attendees with impure purposes had already straightened their lapels and lifted their skirts to greet the many cameras squatting nearby.

Qin Jue stayed in the venue to wait for He Xu, and raised his hand to lend a hand to Mu Sisi, the only one of the four wearing an evening gown. There were far more cameras taking pictures of her than when she first stepped into this hall. Before she even left the door, the "Pearl of the Sea" had already shown its weight.

"No hurry."

He Xu called, so the few people were not in a hurry to rush to the red carpet, but walked slowly towards the exit of the award hall, keeping a little distance from each other during the period, so that others could take pictures and socialize.

"Hi, Zayde!"

While Ronan Lind was chatting with He Xu, Qin Jue heard someone calling her name.

Turning her head, she met a handsome face with mature charm.

It was Herman Saavedra.

The veteran actor extended his hand to her with a friendly smile.
