Catherine took the stage once again, holding an envelope in her hand. The remaining two grand prizes were about to be announced. Not only were fans around the world watching the live broadcast, but every guest who went to the sacred auditorium was also eagerly looking forward to it.
“As our technology advances, it’s possible to take movie-watching to a whole new level today.”
At this point, there were only two "Filmmakers of the Century" awards left, and when the investors were already uneasy, Cesare remained calm and not nervous at all.
His performance proves that he is confident that "God's Redemption" will be nominated for the next two important awards. At least in terms of best visual effects, "God's Redemption" is the most outstanding among the 30 films that advanced this time.
"These amazing crews can transform you into a monster, an alien, or even more after putting on a special effects costume."
As she spoke, the big screen behind her showed classic images of the awards for Best Visual Effects set up by the "Centennial Filmmakers" in recent years. "The emergence of this technology will help us go further and longer in the film industry! Next, the films nominated for Best Visual Effects are..."
Everyone's eyes fell on the big screen behind her as she spoke.
"Ocean's Adventure..." On the screen, a huge block of ice floats on the sea, and groups of marine creatures seem to be chased by something terrible. The ice surface reflects the luster of diamonds under the sun. The camera sees through the ice surface and captures the fantastic scene of the seabed. The next moment, a bloody mouth swallows everything into its mouth, followed by a creepy animal roar. With the transmission of panoramic sound, it seems that the entire venue can feel the warning of this strange creature.
"Underground Creatures..."
Shu Penn gritted his teeth. There were already two films nominated for this award, and "Salvation" was not on the first list mentioned for this award. This was not good news for Cesare.
On the screen, a crawling monster swallows a human who is desperately trying to escape into its mouth. The post-production special effects of this movie are really good. The chilling chewing sound is heard every time the monster's mouth closes, accompanied by the sound of blood dripping. If you close your eyes and rely only on your hearing, you can still imagine the strong smell of blood through this sound.
The third film nominated for Best Visual Effects is a French film, and the fourth is close behind.
A clip of the fourth nominated film was already playing on the big screen. Carlo could no longer sit still. He even stood up, licked the corner of his mouth, and took a deep breath to relieve his inner irritability.
“God’s Redemption…”
When "God's Redemption" appeared on the big screen and the names of the special effects staff were printed in the subtitles below, Mo Anqi tried her best to control herself, but because she was too excited, she still let out a small cry of surprise:
"Ah~ I'm nominated!" She couldn't hold back her excitement, and even forgot her original fear of Xia Chaoqun at this moment. She instinctively grabbed Xia Chaoqun's hand and whispered, "Sister Xia, I'm nominated! I'm nominated!"
This excited gesture attracted the attention of some people around.
Carlo stood up and opened his mouth wide. After a long while, he exhaled a breath in his heart and showed a slightly stiff smile: "Huh..."
There was an obvious look of relief on his face, and even his cheeks were a little red. After sitting back in his chair, the middle-aged man who had been talking to him earlier also obviously relaxed a lot.
Shu Peien's clenched fists loosened. In the media booth, even Yu Zilin felt that because she was too nervous and concerned before, when Catherine really announced that "Salvation" was nominated for Best Visual Effects, her calves were aching slightly.
With this nomination, the value of "God's Redemption" immediately changed. It was certified by the extremely authoritative jury of the World Cinema Centennial Art History Event, which will undoubtedly bring great benefits to the film's box office in the future.
In China, the audience watching the live broadcast stood up and cheered. At this moment, major news media rushed to publish the news that "God's Redemption" was nominated for the Best Visual Effects in the "Filmmakers of the Century" award on their official websites.
In this way, even people who did not watch the live broadcast could see the news at the first time, making "God's Redemption" once again a hot topic.
Every fan is proud of Jiang Se for participating in the filming of this movie. Most of the comments online are praises and exclamations, as well as anticipation for the upcoming release of this movie.
Tao Cen was also the first to learn that "God's Redemption" was nominated for the Best Visual Effects Award at the '100 Years of Filmmakers' Awards. She could imagine how much benefit this nomination would bring to Jiang Se!
Inside the sacred auditorium, everyone's eyes were on the envelope in Catherine's hand, waiting for her to reveal the result.
"Winner of the Best Visual Effects Award in the Centennial History of World Cinema Art, Ocean's End..."
There was a burst of applause, and the camera then fell on the "Sea Monster" team. The person who was about to go on stage to receive the award had a happy look on his face. After hugging the person next to him, he trotted up to the stage.
"This time, 'God's Redemption' was nominated, which is very beneficial to its box office. I estimate that after the movie is released, it may once again break the total box office of all the movies directed by Jiang Se."
Yu Zilin clapped her hands vigorously while whispering to her partner next to her.
After the Best Visual Effects Award was presented, there was a piano solo.
This wonderful music allows everyone's tense mood to relax temporarily.
But Carlo Borgia at this time had no intention of enjoying such music. He was happily discussing with people in the company all matters and activities after the release of "Redemption of the Divine".
After the piano was finished, the background of the screen in the middle of the stage changed, and Leon Elba, the winner of the last "100 Years of Filmmakers" Best Actor award, came on stage holding a golden envelope. Without saying much, he just raised the envelope in his hand, and was greeted with applause in the venue that was so enthusiastic that it almost blew away the roof.
Even though he had walked to the center of the stage, the applause continued, and it was so loud that it affected Carlo's conversation, and he was forced to cover the microphone.
In his decades of acting career, Lyon has been nominated for the Best Actor award at the 100 Years Filmmakers Awards five times, and even won the trophy twice. His role as the presenter of the most important award at the 100 Years Filmmakers Awards is the biggest concern of the 100 Years Filmmakers Awards for the lucky winner who will take the crown tonight!
