non-famous actor

"Siron, what's going on?"

Now that she was seen, Angelina Jolie opened up and asked.

"What's the matter?"

"Is that you who wrote this?"

Angelina Jolie points to Charles Theron's black notebook.

"Oh, is this what you're asking?" Charles Theron smiled, then lowered his voice.

"Julie, Sun Hao's film "Avatar 2", there are still several leading actors who have not been finalized yet, and I heard that when he confirms the actors in China, he always asks the actors who come to the audition. Views and evaluations of film works."

Chapter 1226 Operation

"Clap clap clap..."

After the screening of "The Piano of Piano", after a brief silence, applause rang out in the theater.

Marco Müller, chairman of the Venice International Film Festival, was the first to stand up and applaud. This old man is familiar with China and can deeply appreciate the shock of the movie.

A group of workers were forced to be laid off, their lives were difficult, their wives and children were separated, but they still disliked the private work as "cracking down" and did not want to "emancipate their minds" in order to make a living...

Directors such as Li An, Wu Baige, and Liu Weiqiang are all applauding. While they are happy for Sun Hao, they are also slightly jealous. To be honest, movies about laid-off workers are not new. Dare to expose the scars of society, this is really very commendable!

Actors such as Jay Chou, Sun Honglei, and Zhang Ziyi were applauding. During the process of watching the movie, they cried and laughed, and were really moved by the movie.

Matt Damon is a famous director. At that time, after watching "Batman Trilogy", he fell in love with the movies directed by Sun Hao. Now, he saw Sun Hao's performance in the Venice Film Palace. Sun Hao's name was added to the list of directors to cooperate with.

In the past, Zhou Tao acted in a play, although it was for entertainment, he also received warm applause from the audience, but that was an ordinary theater, and now it is the Venice International Film Festival.

Therefore, laughing, laughing, Zhou Tao shed tears.She knew what the endless applause from the audience meant. It meant that she had successfully transformed, and that she would still have a bright future in the art world if she didn't become a variety show host!

……

"For an excellent film, plot, picture, and sound are indispensable, and "The Piano of Steel" is an excellent film that meets these three conditions. The story of a group of workers making a piano is truly tragic and tragic.

The tone of the whole film is yellowish and gray, and the background music is mostly Russian songs accompanied by accordion, which creates an atmosphere of the 90s for the audience. Wearing the cloak of comedy, performing the core of tragedy for the audience..."

After reading this, Zhu Yawen waved his arms excitedly, stood in the dining room and shouted loudly:

"Speaking of which, "Silver Screen" magazine knows the goods. "The Piano of Steel" is such a good movie, it should give us four stars, um, no, it should give us five stars!"

In fact, after the premiere last night, seeing the enthusiastic response from the fans, Zhu Yawen probably knew what kind of evaluation the show catalog would make of the movie "The Piano of the Piano".

Therefore, early this morning, as soon as the film festival brochure came out, Zhu Yawen ran to grab a copy. After grabbing it, he went to the hotel restaurant and read it aloud in front of Sun Hao and everyone.

Everyone knows Sun Hao's habits. He always likes to read entertainment gossip news when eating breakfast, and the evaluation of the movie "The Piano" by European professional media is actually a kind of entertainment gossip under certain circumstances.

"Ya Wen, what about the other movies?" Sun Hao, who was doing his best to deal with the toast, asked with a slight frown.

"Reporting to Mr. Sun, among the several films currently released, French director Patrice Jaap's "Love Is Dead" is currently ranked second with a score of 3.6; "Brokeback Mountain" directed by Li An is currently ranked third with a score of 3.4; George Clooney's "Good Night and Good Luck" is currently ranked fourth with a score of 3.1.

And our movie "The Piano of Steel" has a score of 4.1 and currently ranks first. "

"Ow ooh..."

As soon as Zhu Yawen's voice fell, in the restaurant, Sun Honglei, Zhang Meng, Zhang Ziyi, Xu Jinglei, Zhou Tao and others who had breakfast together began to howl, um..., including Zhao Laoji from the northeast.

"director……"

"Ok?"

"So, the movie "The Piano of Steel" won the Golden Lion Award, and you and Xu Jinglei won the best actor and best actress at the Venice International Film Festival, shouldn't it be a big problem?"

"Well... you can't say that."

Facing Zhao Laolan's question, Sun Hao thought for a while and said.

"Why can't you say that?

Our movie is currently rated number one, right? "

"Ms. Zhao, the reason why Li An's "Brokeback Mountain" was returned by Cannes is because he made a purely commercial film "Hulk" after "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". In the eyes of some film critics, this is depravity and a Surrender to business!

And I used to make commercial films, and I also made many films, and each commercial film had a great influence. Now, I suddenly switched to filming literary films, which is regarded as a prodigal son in everyone's eyes.

Therefore, it is not surprising that the movie "The Piano of Steel" was given a high score.

Of course, the most important thing is that the judges of the Golden Lion Awards are not just these film critics. "

"Oh..." Zhao Laolan responded, expressing that he understood.

At this time, Sun Hao raised his wrist, looked at his watch, and then smiled and said to Zhu Yawen:

"Ya Wen, it's time, we should go to Hotel Panorama."

"okay!"

Hotel Panorama is set on Lido Island's seafront, with stunning views of the lagoon, and you can catch the water bus to Venice from the water bus stop opposite.

The Panorama Hotel has a sun terrace where drinks are served in spring and summer, and the breakfast buffet includes croissants, cereals, packed jams and fresh fruit...

The reason why Sun Hao knew so clearly was because when he arrived here, Harvey Weinstein, an old hooligan, was sitting on the balcony of his room enjoying this kind of breakfast at the moment.

"sit!"

We were all friends. Seeing Sun Hao enter the door, Harvey Weinstein pointed to the chair opposite him without even lifting his butt.

"Mr. Harvey..."

"Ok?"

"The professional film review in "Screen" magazine, you asked someone to do it, right?"

"Hey, how do you know?"

"Hehe, I guess."

Seeing Harvey Weinstein's admission, Sun Hao smiled and heaved a sigh of relief. As long as this man operated it, it would not be the flattery of his European counterparts.

"Hey... Sun Hao, you also know that no matter how small a mosquito's legs are, it's still meat.

I don't think I'm earning too little money, so I want to bring "The Piano" to Europe, so let's build momentum in advance, at least let this movie win a decent award at this year's Venice International Film Festival. "

"Are you sure?"

"No idea, I'm currently in contact with someone."

Pulling out two napkins from the side of the croissant, Harvey Weinstein wiped his mouth, then got up and said to Sun Hao:

"Sun, let's go!

Whether it's Charles Theron, Angelina Jolie, Scarlett Johansson, Tom Cruise, Nicolas Cage, Matt Damon, etc., they are all in the multi-functional conference on the eighth floor at the moment What is waiting for you in the room?

Oh, right.

Sun, in order to be able to successfully audition for our movie "Avatar 2", these people actually wrote a review for "The Piano" very seriously, hahaha..."

Chapter 1227

It is rumored that the film palace of the Venice International Film Festival will be abandoned in three years. To commemorate this theater, 61 statues of golden lions were erected in front of the film palace at this year's film festival.

The 61 golden lions represent the 1932 highest awards awarded by the film festival since 61. On the base of each golden lion, the name and year of the director who won the golden lion award are marked, including Zhang Yimou "A Lawsuit by Qiu Ju" and "No One Can Be Less", and "Parasite" by Jiang Wen.

Whenever night comes, these golden lions, which are calm during the day, seem to come alive in the colorful and changing lighting effects, making the ancient movie palace look fashionable and dynamic.

time flies.

Soon came September 9th, the day when the closing ceremony of the 10nd Venice International Film Festival was held.

At seven o'clock in the evening, like the opening ceremony, the Venice International Film Festival held a very grand red carpet show.

However, compared with the red carpet show at the opening ceremony, there are still a lot fewer celebrities who came to the closing ceremony, especially Tom Cruise, Nicolas Cage, Angelina Jolie, Cameron Hollywood superstars represented by Diaz and others did not see anyone at the closing ceremony.

However, although the overall starlight was a bit dim, the media reporters from China were all in high spirits. Sun Hao had just walked down the red carpet, and these people collectively stopped him.

"Director, tell us in advance, what award did the movie "The Piano" win?"

"I want to know too! You don't know, when I received the call from the organizing committee, I fooled around for a long time, but the girl at the front desk of the organizing committee just didn't say anything, and made me so depressed that I wanted to jump into the river!" Sun Hao hurriedly Smiling and waving.

"Ha ha……"

The reporters burst into laughter. The little girl at the front desk of the organizing committee must not be Sun Hao's fan.

"Director, which award do you think our film is most likely to win?"

"Hmm..., I think Best Actor, Best Actress, "The Piano of the Piano" must be a bit difficult.

Because David Strathairn in "Good Night, Good Luck" and Giovanna Mezzogiorno in "The Beast Within" are too strong, I feel that Teacher Xu Jinglei and I can't do them.

As for the others, it should be possible!

If we talk about hope, I hope "The Piano of the Piano" can win the Golden Lion! "Sun Hao, who usually doesn't speak big words, made a very rare one here.

"Director, the awards will be presented soon, how do you feel now?" At this time, another reporter spoke.

Sun Hao tilted his head, pointed to the smile on his face, and said, "Look, I'm almost laughing from ear to ear. The only word I feel right now is ~ great!"

After chatting with the reporters for a while, Sun Hao disappeared at the gate of the movie palace with Zhang Meng, Xu Jinglei, Zhou Tao and other crew members.

……

The movie palace is already full of people, and the screening hall with nearly 2000 people is about to be full now.

After Sun Hao, Zhou Tao, Xu Jinglei and others entered the screening hall, under the guidance of the staff, they found their seats and sat down, waiting for the award ceremony to begin.

Different from the Oscars and Golden Globes, the awards ceremonies of the three major film festivals are relatively simple. It is not a grand party, there is no song and dance performance, and there is no exciting award process. It is more like a simple commendation meeting.

Soon, the lights in the hall became dim, and the lights below the screen and above the stage flickered, and the originally chaotic scene fell silent for a moment, and everyone turned their eyes to the stage.

"Gentlemen and ladies, hello everyone! Thank you for coming to the 62nd Venice Film Festival Awards Ceremony. Tonight, at least seven people will change their destiny..."

In the eyes of everyone's anticipation, the host stepped onto the stage to kick off the awards ceremony.

After the brief opening remarks, the chairman of the festival, Mark Muller, took the stage to give a speech, and then officially entered the awarding process.

First of all, the award-winning films of the Horizon unit will be awarded.The Horizon unit is similar to a focus unit of the Cannes Film Festival. Films with good quality but not enough to be shortlisted for the main competition unit will often enter this unit, focusing on new directors and encouraging innovation.

The horizon unit is also divided into awards such as best film, best director, and best actor.

However, not only has Sun Hao not seen the award-winning film, he has never even heard of it. They are all unknown films.

The next award was the Lifetime Achievement Award. There were two winners, one was the Japanese director Hayao Miyazaki, and the other was the native Italian actress Stephania Sandrelli.

Hayao Miyazaki, a Japanese national treasure, animator, animation producer, cartoonist, animation director, and animation screenwriter, his masterpiece "Spirited Away" was released at that time, and immediately swept the whole of Asia.

Therefore, when Hayao Miyazaki stepped onto the stage, there was no one sitting in the entire hall, and the audience stood up, paying tribute to this master who loves movies to the core with applause!

When I heard Hayao Miyazaki say, I will continue to shoot and create, and I hope that on the day I die, I can stand behind the camera...

When Sun Hao heard the words, his heart trembled. The old man is already 65 years old, and he still maintains a strong desire to create. He shoots an animated film every year. This is the true love of movies.

Immediately afterwards, the award ceremony entered the highlight, and began to award the awards of the main competition unit.In addition to the highest award, the Golden Lion Award, the main competition unit also includes the Jury Award, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Director, Best Artistic Achievement Award, and Best New Actor Award, a total of seven awards.

Dante Ferretti, the chairman of the jury of the main competition unit, stepped onto the stage and gave a brief speech. After that, the other eight judges also stepped onto the stage and sat down on the right side of the stage specially prepared for the nine judges.

The main competition unit is first awarded the Mastroianni Award, which is the Best New Actor Award, named after the greatest Italian actor Mastroianni.The nature is the same as the best newcomer of the Golden Rooster Award and Golden Horse Award, and it is a rather small award.

"Hmm... Director, do you think I can win this award?"

Zhou Tao, who came to such an important film gathering for the first time, felt extremely disturbed, because she was among the nominees for the Mastroianni Award.

"do not know."

Sun Hao shook his head.

"Director, it's boring." Zhou Tao curled his lips, and then lowered his voice to the lowest level.

"Director, these days, I have been paying attention to the news of the local entertainment media in Italy. Whether it is a professional film and television magazine or some gossip newspapers, they all praised our movie "The Piano" as a flower.

He also said that we cannot ignore Sun Hao's acting skills just because of his achievements in the directing industry. "

While the two were chatting, suddenly, the award presenter on stage, Scarlett Johansson, began to announce the result after giving the speech: "The winner of the best new actor award is "The Piano", Zhou Tao!"

Chapter 1228 Movie Emperor

"The best new actor award is "The Piano", Zhou Tao!"

Hearing the voice of the award presenter Scarlett Johansson, Sun Hao was taken aback and laughed helplessly. He was really afraid of something!

However, it is better to have an award than no award. Although the hope of winning the Golden Lion Award after winning the Best Newcomer Award is small, it is not completely impossible.
