Xia Siyu sat in the audience and listened. When the name was announced, her mind went blank.
What was expected was that she actually knew how much she weighed. Especially now, looking back at the movies she had shot in the past, she had just begun to learn about acting during the filming of "Spring Scene". Although there are occasional flashes of inspiration, they are still fragmented. The connection between one section and the next is not smooth enough. It is good when viewed alone, but if you want to compare it with the entire movie, it is too A little too obvious.
So the name was not given to her, but to another Spanish actress, and she was not surprised. When she was in the audience, she clapped her hands, looked in the direction of the actress, and congratulated her heartily.
But when Bo Yan heard the name, he looked at her immediately. Seeing Xia Siyu's calm expression, he knew that this guy didn't have high hopes for the award, so he felt relieved. Of course, he still felt a little sorry for her: "What a pity."
Xia Siyu's face was smiling and her eyes were looking in the direction of the actress, but her head was leaning towards him: "It's all your fault for guessing my wish last night."
Bo Yan smiled helplessly.
The scene was still harmonious, but the barrage watching the live broadcast was full of gloating.
"Someone was bragging as if they were about to win a prize."
"I won a supporting actress in Cannes and boasted that I was like a treasure from the ocean."
"Waiting for someone to buy it off: the uncrowned king of the Golden Lion."
…
The actress came on stage to give a speech, and then came the awards ceremony for Best Actor. Bo Yan was also shortlisted, but in the end it was just a shortlist.
At this time, Xia Siyu moved closer to Boyan with ill intentions: "What a pity."
This guy, tit for tat.
Similarly, most of those who just laughed at Xia Siyu were Bo Yanwei fans. So Xia Siyu's fans on the barrage followed closely and retaliated:
"Where are those people gloating about their misfortune just now? What a pity for the hero~ He's not from your family either."
"At least we Sisi still have a supporting actress in Cannes. Someone can only wander around in a small area of the country."
…
Then came the last two most important awards, one for Best Director and the other for Best Film.
Sun Wujiu was shortlisted for the Director Award, but he also had no hope for himself. As for best movie, that's even more so.
China has won the Golden Lion for Best Film, and it has only been a handful of films in the century since China has had the film industry. Each of them is a masterpiece worthy of being passed down through history. This is Sun Wujiu's first time as a director, and being shortlisted for the Golden Lion is actually a victory for him.
Sure enough, the best director announced next still had nothing to do with him. Sun Wujiu was not angry or sad at all. So does the entire crew.
From the beginning to now, the team of "Spring Scene" has won Best Art and Best Cinematography. Although compared with the director and actors, they are only two unimportant awards, but they should be helpful for the film to be released in China. It has received the Dragon Label, passed censorship and met the release standards, and the promotion is also going on. However, after all, this is a literary film, relatively niche, and it is Sun Wujiu's first time making a movie. Even if Bo Yan and Xia Siyu join the film, they may not get much benefit at the box office.
Although the entire crew lost the two awards for Best Male and Female Lead, the two parties involved were in a calm state of mind, so the situation was relatively stable. There is one Best Movie left, but everyone was still a little nervous when they were just waiting for the prize draw, but at this moment, everyone in the crew looked like they were watching a show. They didn't have a chance to win the prize anyway, so their expressions were very relaxed.
At the end of the day, the grand prize was awarded, and there was also a performance arranged in the program. For a few crew members who wanted to compete for awards, the wait was simply heartbreaking. But for the crew of "Spring Light", several guys were cheerful, and Xia Siyu was still in the mood to comment: "Look at that, moving back and forth, it's quite acrobatic. Oops, I made a mistake in somersaulting."
Bo Yan glanced at her and then nodded: "But this girl is really good-looking."
Oh, my wife sitting next to me actually dared to comment on other women. Xia Siyu immediately showed no weakness and pointed at her male partner: "The man is also very handsome, wow, those little muscles. He can also lift his partner up with one hand." "
After she finished speaking, she turned to look at Bo Yan with an expression of, "Are you okay?"
Bo Yan said: "As we all know, this kind of lifting is actually a matter of strength, and it is mainly the female dancer who jumps on it herself. And she is very light."
The implication is that Xia Siyu is now fat, and he cannot bear the weight of nearly one hundred kilograms.
Xia Siyu got angry and came up, and turned to him and said: "What do you mean? John can do it. When we were filming the escape scene, he didn't need to use tools, he could easily lift me up the wall with just one lift."
Good guy, it's almost starting a civil war. Just as Bo Yan was about to reply, Sun Wujiu said: "The performance is over."
The whole place fell silent. After all, we were doing a show. It wouldn't be nice to argue in front of the world's audience, right
Xia Siyu then turned around with a "hum", and Bo Yan moved his head closer to her: "Just give it a try. I have to make arrangements for you tonight."
In order to maintain the dignity of weight, Xia Siyu also replied: "If you can't lift it, be careful and you will die if you try."
The two looked at each other, then both looked away at the same time. Just a smile, a hum.
Finally, the award presenter came on stage. This is also the president of this year’s jury, a famous movie star who has won two Oscars and one in Cannes. However, it was different from previous ones. After she took the stage, she first commented: "Last year, due to the epidemic, it was a huge impact and challenge for us filmmakers. Many of our outstanding directors, The actors, as well as other staff members, unfortunately passed away during the epidemic. This is a huge loss for us filmmakers."
As she spoke, the LED screen behind her played some images of filmmakers who died due to the epidemic and related works. The whole place was silent, as if in mourning for those who unfortunately died during the epidemic.
"However, the epidemic has not defeated us, nor will it stop our enthusiasm for creation. This year, we are very pleased to see that more films have applied for the Venice Golden Lion than in previous years. Among the more than 100 submissions In this work, we have selected a total of more than a dozen works from each section. These works are the hard work of filmmakers last year. Regardless of whether they win the award or not, they are all good works worth watching. Now, I will present today’s awards. The final award of the night: Outstanding Work Award.”
