You made me a superstar

Chapter 445 The Night of Venice
Venice International Film Festival lights up.

Below the highly anticipated stage, everyone looked forward with bated breath.

"Infernal Affairs" Zhou Yang, Liu Hua, "Lighthouse by the Sea" Zhao Zhen, "Night Walker" Li Yaozong, "Berlin 1982" Tom...

A series of close-up short films flickered in front of the screen, and the camera gave each nominated actor a close-up.

Heavenly King Liu Hua couldn't hide his excitement, his eyes were fixed on the front, and when the camera caught him, he smiled at the camera and said hello, maintaining the humility of the older generation of actors.

Zhao Zhen was in high spirits, and he was very nervous, holding the handles with both hands, as if he was restless. When the camera caught him, he wanted to laugh, but the smile was so weird because he was too excited After the camera finished scanning, his face was flushed, and his mind was terribly blank.

Heavenly King Li Yaozong is also excited. Although he has already won the best actor award in China, he still cannot calm down. He is full of expectations on the screen...

That's the Venice International Film Festival!
One of the oldest film festivals in the world, and it is the most important award for Best Actor and Best Actor!

With this award, his influence will definitely radiate to Europe and become a veritable international superstar!
Tom from "Berlin 1982" even stood up and started punching and cheering...

……

At the scene, only Zhou Yang's face was calm, like an old monk in meditation, neither nervous nor excited, he just showed a faint smile, pretending to be extreme.

The photos on the screen were rotated, and finally it was fixed on "Lighthouse by the Sea".

Countless thunderous applause rang out, and the camera gave a close-up of the astonished, unbelievable, and excited Zhao Zhen.

Everyone in the two crews of "Infernal Affairs" and "Night Walker" was in an uproar.

Then, next to the crew of "Lighthouse by the Sea", Zhao Zhen was hugged by everyone, and then pushed onto the aisle, step by step onto the bright stage with bewildered emotions...

"I actually lost to a miner!"

"..."

Beside the crew of "Night Walker", Li Yaozong couldn't believe it when he heard Zhao Zhen introduce himself that he used to be an out-and-out miner!
Then he clapped his hands with a wry smile.

Not far away, Liu Hua felt a huge gap. He was applauding and continued to laugh, but it was a bit forced.

Although he knew that the film "Lighthouse by the Sea" had a terrifying influence in Venice and was extremely popular among the minority, but when the ending was in front of Liu Hua, Liu Hua still felt lost, as if he had returned to five years ago. The Golden Horse Awards years ago!

witness!
Tanima is another witness.

"are you OK?"

Song Yiyi looked at Zhou Yang.

Zhou Yang was still very calm, applauding calmly, laughing calmly, as if he was outside the world, watching a performance.

The Best Screenplay Award was lost, the Best Actor Award was lost, and "Infernal Affairs" didn't get anything during its trip to the Venice International Film Festival this time.

Song Yiyi didn't know how to comfort Zhou Yang. She felt that the more calm Zhou Yang was now, the greater his mood swings, and the more lost he felt.

"Infernal Affairs" he paid too much effort.

Adjusting the camera time and time again, revising the script repeatedly, pondering every line repeatedly, every line of dialogue is accurate to the change of eyes, but still reshooting again and again, and carve the whole movie as a work of art... …

She was actually watching it all the time.

Such hard work has been repeatedly attacked internationally...

The influence is good but the box office is not good, the film was suppressed early, was invited by the Venice International Film Festival, and received three nominations. It should have been elated, but in the end it got nothing...

"Very good, I am very happy for Old Brother Zhao."

The lights flicker.

Full of cheers.

Zhao Zhen, who was all the attention on the stage, began to thank many people with a runny nose. Naturally, he had to thank Zhou Yang.

Thanks to Zhou Yang for pulling him out of the mine and bringing him into this business...

Sometimes the encounters in life really feel amazing!

The camera inevitably glanced at Zhou Yang's side again. Zhou Yang looked at Zhao Zhen on the stage with a smile on his calm face, feeling sincerely happy for him.

As for the loss...

Maybe there is. After all, standing on such a bright stage, enjoying the attention and all the glory, the whole Venice International Film Festival seems to be paving the way for you. It feels absolutely good.

But the sense of loss only lasted for a moment, and then disappeared.

"Huaxing has produced the first international superstar in the true sense!"

He heard Li Qiang from the later group muttering to himself.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Li Qiang's eyes were full of blazing fire!

"It's okay, we'll come again next time...it's okay!"

"Cry if you want to cry... don't be ashamed, don't hold back, just cry out."

Zhou Yang felt Song Yiyi's hand caressing the back of his hand suddenly, speaking softly amidst the hustle and bustle.

The little girl felt that Zhou Yang had suffered the greatest setback and blow in her life, and her emotions collapsed for a while...

Zhou Yang shook his head, a little dumbfounded.

"It's all right... Teacher Song, are you taking advantage of me?"

"Hey, who wants to take advantage of you..."

After Song Yiyi saw Zhou Yang's weird expression, her pretty face flushed instantly, and she quickly withdrew her hand. Knowing that she had misunderstood, she wished she could find a hole in the ground for a while.

not far away……

The one who really collapsed was Feng Kai.

"Also, thanks to the directors and leaders who helped me along the way..."

He listened carefully, and heard a series of thank you lists, but he was not included in the list!

He stared at Zhao Zhen unwillingly, but watched Zhao Zhen walk down the stage step by step. Feng Kai's expression ranged from excitement, anticipation, adjustment of sitting posture, to stupefaction, and finally disbelief to disappointment...

[Why didn't he thank me? 】

[Directors?Why do you classify me as directors?You can say director Feng, or you can say Feng Kai, I have no credit, but hard work! 】

[My "Jinyiwei" made him famous, and I also shot a lot of things in "Mine Bottom"! 】

[You thank me and give me a close-up, even if it's a close-up for a second or two, wouldn't that work! 】

The lights on the stage are still flickering, and the announcement and presentation of the next award is going on...

Feng Kai at this moment seems to have returned to Berlin that year, becoming a witness, and then a frustrated person.

"Wow, Director Feng, this is Huaxing's first international superstar!"

"um, yes!"

"so amazing!"

"Well, it's amazing, it's really amazing..."

"Director Feng, are you okay?"

"I'm fine..."

Feng Kai seemed to be pulled out of his soul, and then dealt with it in a daze.

The 64th Venice International Film Festival finally came to an end amidst a burst of song and dance performances.

"Lighthouse by the Sea" became the biggest winner of the 64th Venice International Film Festival...

The best actor award was won by this film, the best screenplay award was won by it, and at the same time, the entire Venice International Film Festival's high-profile Golden Lion Award was also included in its pocket.

Holding the trophy, the director Mary Vane was so excited that she couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear, and she was so excited on the stage.

There is no doubt that this is the peak moment of her life...

The highly anticipated "Night Walker" actually failed, it was a mess, and nothing was obtained.

"Infernal Affairs" has also become a running companion.

After the awards ceremony was over, several judges came over and shook hands with Zhou Yang, expressing regret and regret for the movie.

The chairman of the 64th Venice International Film Festival even sighed: "It should have won an award. I am very optimistic about this movie. The script is good and the filming is also very good..."

"However, its opponent is "Lighthouse by the Sea", a movie that portrays a love story of a minority..."

"..."

When Zhou Yang faced regret, he was quite peaceful in his heart and didn't say much.

"Infernal Affairs" in the original world also excitedly won an international award.

It turned out to be nothing.

When "Infernal Affairs" in this world was nominated for the Venice International Film Festival, Christian hinted at Zhou Yang, asking Zhou Yang to prepare for "Lighthouse by the Sea" as his opponent.

Whether it is the Oscars, the three major European film festivals, or some other film festivals in the West, the enthusiasm for niche films has endured for a long time...

The pattern of the entire movie "Infernal Affairs" seems to be quite different in terms of overall pattern and performance.

The world is quite realistic.

At the opening ceremony of the Venice International Film Festival...

There are huge crowds of people, and the sound of gongs and drums.

After the awards ceremony ended, it began to look a little cold.

Those red-carpet actresses who showed off their splendor and showed their heads and poses left, and some crews who were "invited to the screening" also left.

But there were still a lot of reporters. After seeing Zhou Yang and his party coming out, they immediately swarmed around them...

Zhao Zhen became a favorite among the crowd, surrounded by him, he was almost praised to the sky.

"Mr. Zhou Yang, do you feel lost in this defeat?"

"Mr. Zhou, I'm Xiao Chen, the reporter of "Huaxia Movies". I want to ask you, how will you feel when "Infernal Affairs" meets the cold in Venice this time?"

"Mr. Zhou Yang, Huaxing is about to give birth to its first international superstar, what do you think of this matter?"

"..."

The reporters' questions were very vicious, and almost all of them wanted to rub salt on Zhou Yang's wounds, and even more hoped to see Zhou Yang's frustrated and gaffe-like expression.

however……

Zhou Yang's reaction was beyond their expectations. He remained calm from the beginning to the end. After answering a few words, he got into the car.

Before he arrived at the hotel, he received a call.

The call was from Xu Mei.

"Mr. Zhou, the box office of "Infernal Affairs" has officially broken through [-] million!"

"We're about to break history!"

"We are a new milestone for Huaxia Film, the box office king!"

On the other end of the phone, Xu Mei shouted excitedly!

(I am garbage, there is only one update today, I am garbage...)
