Chapter 110 The Silver Lion Award exploded the Chinese entertainment industry, Director Zhou surpass
Chapter 110 The Silver Lion Award exploded the Chinese entertainment industry, Director Zhou surpassed Brother Chen Kai!
With the awarding of the last grand prize, the 61st Venice Film Festival came to a close.
It can be said that some are happy while others are sad.
"The Silver Lion Award is much more impressive than the Golden Bear Award."
Huang Bo and Zhou Qing were already quite familiar with each other. Huang Bo took Zhou Qing's trophy without any hesitation and played with it non-stop.
In fact, Zhou Qing thought the same thing when he received the trophy.
If we ignore the glory behind them and only look at the appearance of the two trophies, the Silver Lion really beats the Golden Bear.
Zhou Qing was a little curious about who designed the trophy in Berlin. Isn’t it a bit too rough?
"Brother Xun, your trophy is so big, it must be tiring, how about I help you hold it?"
Huang Bo smiled and stretched out his hand towards Zhou Xun again.
"Why are you tired? I'm not tired at all! If you really want it, go get the award yourself!"
Zhou Xun did not let Huang Bo succeed, but instead rolled his eyes at Huang Bo.
"I heard you, Qingzi. If I want to be as proud as Brother Xun, I have to rely on you."
Huang Bo took the opportunity to play tricks on Zhou Qing again.
However, he immediately realized that Chief Jia was still there and it was not appropriate to say this, so he immediately added something.
"And Director Jia, I have to give you a good hug!"
Huang Bo spoke to Section Chief Jia in a joking tone.
"Qingzi, congratulations on winning a Silver Lion."
Section Chief Jia did not take Huang Bo's words to heart, but instead congratulated Zhou Qing.
While I was sighing in my heart, I felt more and more uncomfortable.
The fighting ability of my junior brother is really too strong.
Compared with the other party, I, as a senior brother, am really not as good as him.
It's really a bit embarrassing.
The second time I came to Venice, I was a runner-up, but he won two major awards in one go the first time he came.
The gap is indeed quite large.
"You're too polite, Senior Brother. I was just luckier this time. It will be your turn next time."
Zhou Qing also smiled and exchanged a few words with Section Chief Jia.
"And Zhou Xun, congratulations on winning the Best Actress award at the Venice Film Festival. You are the second of the top three actresses in mainland China. Congratulations."
Section Chief Jia also did not neglect Zhou Xun who also made some achievements.
"Thank you, Director Jia. This is all thanks to Director Zhou's support!"
Zhou Xun hurriedly expressed his gratitude, and at the same time did not forget to thank Zhou Qing again.
"That's about it, Brother Xun. You've thanked me five times already."
Zhou Qing laughed on the side.
"Director Zhou, congratulations."
"Director Hou, you're too polite."
As a Chinese-language filmmaker himself, Hou Xiaoxian came over to congratulate Zhou Qing.
The two sides shook hands and the scene was very harmonious.
In fact, although Hou Xiaoxian is not that famous, he is definitely a very awesome director.
He had already won the Golden Lion Award in 89 for "A City of Sadness" and also won the Jury Prize in Cannes in 93.
After that, many films were shortlisted for Cannes, but they just didn't win any awards.
However, in the future, Hou Xiaoxian will win the Best Director Award at Cannes through "The Assassin".
Putting aside other things, just looking at the awards, this person is also very terrifying.
The two sides exchanged brief greetings, and Hou Xiaoxian also mentioned Hirokazu Ichieda to Zhou Qing.
"I met Hirokazu Ichieda last time I went to Japan, and he mentioned you to me."
"He highly praised your films 127 Hours and Departures, and he expressed great regret that Departures could not be shown in Japan."
Hou Xiaoxian said to Zhou Qing with a smile.
"His film Nobody Knows won a prize at Cannes in May, right?"
Zhou Qing also chatted with Hou Xiaoxian about Hirokazu Ichieda, who will become a great film master in Japan in the future.
"Director Zhou, you won the Best Director and Best Actress awards at your first Venice Film Festival. What do you think is the secret of your success?"
"I have always been full of respect for the industry because of my passion for movies. Only by respecting the audience and showing sincerity can we make good movies."
"There are three Chinese-language films shortlisted for the Venice Film Festival this time, but only you won an award. What do you want to say about this?"
"The fact that I was able to win this award just shows that I was a little luckier, that's all. The other two films are also excellent films."
"Director Zhou, you have won two awards in Berlin and now another in Venice. Some people have called you the most talented director. How do you respond?"
"Thank you for your kindness. I still need to learn from you. I still have a lot of shortcomings."
Although Zhou Qing did not win the highest prize, the Golden Lion, it was at least the second highest prize, the Silver Lion.
Not to mention she also won the Best Actress award.
Plus the impressive record in Berlin.
Therefore, in the following interviews, Zhou Qing naturally became the focus of media interviews.
The area was surrounded by reporters from all over the world, and it was so crowded that no one could get through.
Of course, Zhou Xun, who won the Best Actress award, also became a hot commodity and was interviewed by many media outlets.
This gave Zhou Xun a solid experience of what international influence means.
I can only say one word: awesome!
"Director Zhou, we'll leave first then."
Just like when he was at the Berlin Film Festival, even though the Venice Film Festival had ended, Zhou Qing still had to stay for a few more days.
After all, he still has the most important task: selling movies.
However, this matter has nothing to do with Qin Hao, Zhou Xun and others.
So the two of them said goodbye to Zhou Qing and turned back first.
As for Zhou Xun, she has to go back to continue filming her "Mandarin Duck and Butterfly".
That’s right, the movie is only half finished.
However, the Venice Film Festival is such an important event that even the leading actress' crew was given a holiday.
After all, if "La La Land" really wins a big prize in Venice, "Mad Men" will have a publicity boost, right?
As for Qin Hao, he has to hurry back to participate in this year's Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards.
"Departures" is a hot favorite to win an award.
Although Zhou Qing is the director of "Departures", he has to sell the film in Venice these days and will definitely not be able to go back.
Zhou Qing also specifically told Qin Hao about this, that he and the female lead Li Bingbing could go to the film festival by themselves.
"Don't worry, Director Zhou, I'll be fine."
Qin Hao also understood that Zhou Qing’s matter was more important, so he agreed without saying much.
"Qingzi, do you really not need me to stay with you?"
Huang Bo also ran over to say hello, laughing.
"Get out of here!"
Zhou Qing was not so polite to Huang Bo.
In short, everyone from the "La La Land" crew and the "World" crew went back one after another.
Zhou Qing returned to the hotel alone.
He has already met with quite a few film producers in Venice these days and has made appointments with almost all of them.
Zhou Qing will be very busy in the next few days.
"The 61st Venice Film Festival has come to an end, with The World and Café d'Azur running as runners-up, and La La Land winning two awards!" "After winning the Silver Bear and Golden Bear at the Berlin Film Festival, Director Zhou Qing once again won the Silver Lion for Best Director at the Venice Film Festival!"
"La La Land won the Best Director and Best Actress awards, becoming the biggest winner of this Chinese-language film campaign in Venice."
"As expected by everyone, Director Zhou Qing has once again astonished the entire Chinese entertainment industry and proved his strength once again!"
"The most gifted director in history, Beijing Film Academy student Zhou Qing reaped great success at the Venice Film Festival, winning two awards at the same time."
"Zhou Xun won the Venice Film Festival Best Actress award for her performance in La La Land directed by Zhou Qing, becoming the second person after Gong Li to win the three major European Best Actress awards."
The news of the Venice Film Festival spread back to China, once again causing a stir in the country.
The two words "Zhou Qing" instantly became the most eye-catching and dazzling existence.
When the shortlist was announced, people in the industry generally believed that "La La Land" would win the award. After all, Zhou Qing's past performance was indeed amazing.
As for the result, Zhou Qing did not disappoint everyone and won two major awards in one fell swoop.
Even though he missed out on the highest award, the Golden Lion, winning the Best Director award is already pretty impressive, right?
Not to mention, "La La Land" also produced a Best Actress.
powerful!
It's really too strong!
Director Zhou Qing’s ability is indeed a bit too strong.
It is true that if you don't take action, you will definitely gain something.
So far, each of Director Zhou’s three films has lived up to expectations and achieved extremely impressive results.
It's just fucking against the will of heaven.
"Another Best Director Award? Director Zhou is really exaggerating."
"Yes, three films and three awards. Who can compare with Director Zhou's record except Master Zhang?"
"This is amazing. He won the Best Director award in his first trip to Venice."
"Fuck, Director Zhou is going to heaven."
Many people who saw the media reports were deeply shocked by Zhou Qing’s achievements.
Unlike Zhou Qing’s two previous expeditions to Berlin, Zhou Qing faced a lot of doubts at that time.
After all, age is there.
But this time?
Those voices of doubt basically disappeared, and everyone was just surprised and shocked.
Zhou Qing has completely shattered those doubts with his fierce battle performance time and time again!
"Well, Zhou Qing is really great! He won the Best Director award in Venice again, very good!"
The laughter of Zhang Huijun, the president of Beijing Film Academy, spread out from the office and could be heard by people passing by outside.
There was no way, Zhang Huijun was really in too happy a mood.
Having such a monstrous monster under his command would be a great achievement in his book of merit.
But Zhou Qing is really exaggerating. His three movies won three of the three major awards, which almost surpassed most domestic directors.
In fact, apart from Master Zhang, no one else can compare with Zhou Qing.
Of course, in terms of awards.
If Zhang Huijun hadn't experienced this herself, she would never have believed it.
It is indeed a bit too evil.
It is a blessing for Beijing Film Academy to have such a talented student.
"Sissi, Zhou Qing won the Best Director award in Venice again."
Liu Xiaoli naturally knew about this matter, and she was also shocked.
Zhou Qing's ferocity is a bit too exaggerated!
As for the honors that a director could achieve, he almost reached the peak before he even left school.
Except for Master Zhang who is still a big shot in the eye, no one else can compare to him.
Even the great poet Chen can’t do it.
It is true that the great poet Chen won a Palme d'Or, but Zhou Qing won a Golden Bear and two Best Director awards.
No matter what, I'm outdone.
In fact, if it weren’t for the fact that the great poet Chen is an old senior with too much experience, Zhou Qing would have made too few films.
The last time "Departures" won an award, some people thought that Zhou Qing had surpassed the great poet Chen.
It’s just that due to various reasons, it has not been recognized by mainstream public opinion.
But now?
I’m afraid there are quite a few people who think this way, right?
"Yeah, he's really amazing."
Liu Yifei also made such a heartfelt sigh.
This classmate of mine is really too talented. It is as easy as taking candy from a baby for him to win a prize at one of the three major European universities.
I really can’t accept it.
The light was so bright that she could hardly open her eyes.
"That's it?"
When Liu Xiaoli saw Liu Yifei's reaction, she was really anxious and felt a little disappointed with her.
"Not only did they win the Best Director award, they also gave us a Best Actress award this time. Don't you have anything to say?"
Liu Xiaoli was almost crying with envy.
If the heroine of "La La Land" this time is my own daughter...
Liu Xiaoli started to fantasize.
"What? What does this have to do with me? I won't win the Best Actress award anyway."
Liu Yifei is still very self-aware.
"Kid, you better be more careful. You have such an amazing director classmate, and you just treat him to a cake on your birthday and that's it?"
Liu Xiaoli was speechless and poked the girl's head with her finger, "Are you trying to piss me off to death?"
"Mom, didn't Zhou Qing say that he would ask me to play the role if there was a suitable one?"
Liu Yifei still looked calm and unhurried.
"You believed him when he said that. Believe it or not, he must have said this to many actresses..."
"Mom, I believe him."
"You kid..."
Liu Xiaoli really didn't know what to say.
"You actually won the Best Actress award, that's great, congratulations Zhou Xun!"
Zhou Xun was even more elated, his phone almost exploded with calls along the way.
As soon as I returned to the company, my boss Li Shaohong came over to me personally, and his attitude became three times more enthusiastic than before.
With the support of this film queen, Zhou Xun's status will definitely take a big step forward.
As the boss, Li Shaohong was of course very excited.
“Finally it lived up to expectations.”
Zhou Xun also took out the extremely precious trophy with great pride.
It immediately attracted Li Shaohong's attention.
Even for Li Shaohong, that thing was extremely tempting.
As she played with the trophy that symbolized honor, she kept sighing in her heart.
Zhou Xun is so lucky to have met a director like Zhou Qing.
And this is Zhou Xun’s opportunity!
If Zhou Xun can really get the favor of Director Zhou and make a few more movies, her future will be limitless.
Wasn’t Gong Li promoted by Master Zhang?
