Chinese Entertainment: Academic Director

Chapter 63 Awards
The processes of the three major European film festivals are actually similar. In addition to the main competition unit, there are also various awards, which generally do not attract much attention.

The main competition unit only has those fixed awards, and there are no singing and dancing performances at the film festival awards ceremony. If it weren't for all these various awards, the entire awards ceremony would probably only take half an hour.

The time difference between Venice and China is seven hours. When the award ceremony started, it was already two o'clock in the morning in China.

However, since the Internet has gradually become popular and emerged, more and more young people have started to stay online all night, either playing games, watching movies and TV series, or being obsessed with an emerging chat software called QQ.

The three major portals all have editors on night shift, waiting to update the news as soon as the results of Venice come out.

Last time, Xinlang Entertainment got a lot of traffic, which made the other two companies very envious. This time, no matter what, Xinlang Entertainment cannot take the lead again.

Today, many people in Tianya Community are discussing and waiting. As the only Chinese-language film star, many people want to know what award Cao Yang can win this time.

Moreover, the most active followers below were all predicting what award Cao Yang would win.

"My prediction is that without Li Xiaoran, Cao Yang is most likely to win the Best Screenplay Award. This year, Venice has set up a special Best Screenplay Award, which is probably prepared for Cao Yang."

There are a lot of replies under this post. Many people think about it carefully and feel that it makes sense.

From the movie "A Night Alone on the Beach", we can't tell how strong Cao Yang's directing ability is. Many professionals on the Internet have said that the shooting technique of this movie is too simple and any student of any major can do it, or even do better.

But no one denies that the script of this movie is indeed well-written, so excluding the possibility of winning the Best Director award, the most likely possibility is only this year's special Best Screenplay award.

“Isn’t this kind of special award of low value?”

someone asked under the post.

"The ones with low gold content are the special awards in other units. In the main competition unit, even the special awards cannot be said to have low gold content."

"What about the Best New Actor? This rare award is quite valuable, isn't it?"

There was a guy called "The Big Brother in the Circle" who responded to the post and argued with him.

No one answered this question for a while.

"Do you think it's possible that Cao Yang can only help Liu Ye win the Best Newcomer Award? I think this is the most likely possibility."

A big shot in the circle made another post saying.

This time someone answered quickly.

"It's possible. Venice has announced that in addition to the Best Screenplay Award, there will also be a Best Newcomer Award this year."

"I hope I don't win the Best Newcomer Award. Even Best Screenplay would be better than this."

"Why can't he win the Best Newcomer Award? How awesome do you think Cao Yang is? He's just a student. If he hadn't met Li Xiaoran, he would be nothing." A top star in the circle replied.

"Hey, someone is feeling unbalanced again. Usually people who say things like this are either ignorant students or colleagues."

"Don't worry about what I do, the awards he won are not convincing." wrote one of the top stars in the circle.

"It's not convincing enough. Their movies have grossed over 20 million in mainland China alone. If you have the ability, make a movie that can gross 20 million before you brag."

“That’s because Li Xiaoran won the Berlin Film Festival Best Actress award. Without Li Xiaoran, who would go to see the movie?” The top star in the circle said with disdain.

"Heh, why don't you say that the movie was made by Tian Zhuangzhuang? Some people have this fucking bad point. They can't stand others being better than you, but when they meet people from Hong Kong or abroad, they just f**k them. I don't know what's going on in these people's minds."

"You know shit. Director Tian would never bother to make a movie that has no artistic value at all." The top star in the circle was anxious, as if his lungs were stabbed.

"The main competition has presented the awards. The Best Newcomer Award went to Gael Garcia Bernal and Diego Noona from 'Y Tu Mama También'. Damn, there's also Liu Ye!"

"No way, is there really Liu Ye?"

"What the top player in the industry said was right. The best newcomer awards went to Gael Garcia Bernal, Diego Noona and Liu Ye."

A big shot in the industry replied: "Isn't what I said right? You don't understand the inside story here. It's a bit complicated to explain. It's normal that you don't know since you are not in the industry.

Cao Yang is a student, he has no directing skills, but for some reason, he was given the consolation award for Best Newcomer. Forget it, I can't reveal too much, it's easy to offend people, you just need to understand that he is lucky. "

"The top guy in the industry, tell me the inside story, I want to hear it."

"Tell me the inside story. I want to hear it." "Tell me the inside story. I want to hear it."

"Tell me the inside story. I want to hear it."

At once, many people posted comments.

A top star in the industry posted: "Aren't you trying to embarrass me? I really can't tell you this. You can ask something else. I'll tell you what I can tell you."

"Brother Yi, can Cao Yang still win the best screenplay?"

The vanity of the top star in the circle was greatly satisfied, and he replied: "It's impossible. The organizing committee can't set up two awards for him."

"Cao Yang's script is pretty good, why didn't he win the Best Screenplay award?"

"Like you said, his writing is okay, but where is Venice? It's one of the palaces of art films, with so many top people from the world gathered together, so many great directors and top screenwriters. Cao Yang is nothing in it. There are many people who write better than him."

"The Best Screenplay Award was announced and it was given to Alfonso Cuarón, the director and screenwriter of Tu Mama También, but not Cao Yang."

"Haha, let me tell you, Cao Yang is just lucky to have met Li Xiaoran. If I had a Li Xiaoran, I would also be able to go to Berlin and Venice and win a few awards." A top star in the circle wrote proudly.

"Awesome, you are indeed someone in the circle."

"The prediction of the top guy in the circle is really accurate. Can you tell me the inside story you just mentioned? I want to hear it."

"Want to hear it."

"Want to hear it."

"Please don't make it difficult for me. I still want to stay in the circle."

"The Best Actress award is coming up soon. Doesn't any of you think Yu Feihong is optimistic about the award? Brother Yi, do you think Yu Feihong has any hope?" someone asked in a reply.

"Haha, stop joking. Do you think Yu Feihong can win the Best Actress award? Her acting skills are only good enough for TV shows, not movies." The top star in the circle replied.

"Isn't there news that Cao Yang is very good at training actors?"

"Hahaha, you're so funny. Do you believe it? I don't believe it anyway."

"Do you believe it? Anyway, I don't believe it."

"Do you believe it? Anyway, I don't believe it."

"Do you believe it? Anyway, I don't believe it."

"Haha, you guys are really funny, although I don't believe it either."

“What if Yu Feihong wins the Best Actress award?” someone replied.

"Impossible. Let me make it clear first that I really like Yu Feihong. She is beautiful and has great temperament. Like I said, she is OK in TV dramas, but it is really hard for her to act in movies. And she won the Best Actress Award. If she can win the Best Actress Award, I will take the surname Cao Yang."

The top figure in the circle posted a reply with great confidence.

"Brother Yi is right. It's not that her acting skills can't reach the level of a movie queen. It's just that she's still a few steps away from it... Damn it, damn it, damn it, damn it..."

The presenter for the Best Actress award first read out Sandra Ceccarelli's "The Love That Goes Through Your Eyes", and then, before the audience could applaud, she added the word "and" in a long tone...

Cao Yang glanced at Yu Feihong and suddenly had a strong premonition. Double yolk egg? And another Yu Feihong?

“Faye Yu, Empty Room.”

Yu Feihong covered her mouth in disbelief, her face full of surprise.

At this moment, everyone in the country who received the news was more shocked than Yu Feihong!
There was silence under this hot post on Tianya Community.

　There will be one more update at 12 noon.
