Thinking of this, joy suddenly rippled in Sun Hao's heart, and he smiled from the bottom of his heart.

"Clap clap clap..."

The audience was applauding, and other crews were also applauding. The crews of "Brokeback Mountain", "Ordinary Lovers", "Good Night, Good Luck", etc., which regard "The Piano of Steel" as their biggest competitors, were particularly enthusiastic. .

"The Piano" won the best new actor award, so the hope of winning the award in the future will be reduced, which is a good thing.

Zhou Tao jumped up from his seat and shouted uncontrollably: "I won the prize!

Director, I won an award! "

Zhang Meng, Xu Jinglei, Zhao Laoji, and Zhu Yawen all stood up and applauded to congratulate Zhou Tao: "Sister Zhou Tao, congratulations!"

"Zhou Tao, congratulations, after today's awards ceremony, you must treat yourself."

"Sister Zhou Tao, one word, cow!"

Smiling and hugging Zhou Tao, Sun Hao motioned for her to come to the stage to accept the award.

Zhou Tao was very obedient, nodded, then turned around and strode towards the stage.

"Congratulations! I am also a fan of Sun Hao, and I really like his movies. I hope to have the opportunity to work with Director Sun Hao like you." Scarlett Johansson hugged Zhou Tao, holding the trophy in her hand Handed it over to Zhou Tao.

The current Scarlett Johansson has not yet taken the sexy route, and the movies are mainly art films, which belong to young women in literature and art.It is her sincere wish to cooperate with Sun Hao, otherwise she would not have participated in the audition for the movie "Avatar 2".

"Thank you, Scarlett, I've seen your movie "Lost in Translation" and it was great! Hope to have the opportunity to work with you!"

At this point in the polite conversation, Zhou Tao suddenly paused, and then lowered his voice.

"Scarlett, let me tell you a little secret. In fact, you have already passed the audition for Director Sun Hao."

"Oh ah!"

And just when Scarlett Johansson was confused by the sudden good news, Zhou Tao smiled and raised the trophy in his hand.

"Thank you to the jury for awarding me this award, as a newcomer in the film industry I am very happy to receive this award.

In this way, when I went to audition for other film crews, I put the trophy in front of the director's eyes, which was very convincing.

Well, thanks to Director Zhang Meng, my partner Director Sun Hao, Ms. Xu Jinglei, and the crew of "The Piano of Steel", thank you!thank you all! "

Amidst the applause, Zhou Tao, who smiled sweetly, walked back to his seat facing the dazzling flashing lights and under the attention of everyone.

"director……"

"Ok?"

"Did I play well just now?"

"Very good, super stable, completely beyond my expectations." Sun Hao smiled and took Zhou Tao's trophy, holding it in his hand and looking at it carefully.

Hearing this, Zhou Tao brushed his hair lightly, and said with a smile, "No way, it's hard to give up on a natural beauty!"

……

The awards ceremony continued, and the Outstanding Technical Contribution Award went to "Uniform Lovers".

However, William Lubkonski was not present, and the producer accepted the award on his behalf.I have to admit, this stubborn old man is so awesome, how many people are struggling for the three major European awards, but they don't pay attention to it at all, and they don't even come!

Giovanna Mezzocciorno, the heroine of "The Beast in My Heart", is the most popular actress. Although many domestic media believe that Xu Jinglei has a chance to win this award, it is a pity that Giovanna Mezzocciorno's performance is indeed A step above other actors, the crown of actress still fell into her hands.

"director……"

"Ok?"

"I'm a little nervous."

Xu Jinglei, who was sitting next to Sun Hao, squeezed hard.

"The best actress has already been announced, why are you so nervous?"

At this time, Sun Hao smiled.

"It doesn't matter to me, anyway, the role I played is a little thinner; but you, the director, are different, not only the role is brilliant, but also your performance is very good, so I have a strong feeling that this year's Venice best actor is not you It must be."

"Hmm..." Sun Hao held back his laughter and became serious.

"Since you have confirmed that I am this year's Best Actor in Venice, why are you so nervous?"

However, before Xu Jinglei could answer, Javier Bardem, the winner of the last Venice International Film Festival, announced loudly on the stage: "The winner of the best actor award is "The Piano of Steel", Sun Hao!"

"I won the award, director, you have won the award!" Unlike Xu Jinglei, Zhou Tao, who has a good command of English, has been paying attention to the situation on the stage. When he heard that his man had won the award, Zhou Tao was the first to stand up and congratulate him .

"Director, you have won an award!"

"The actor, the actor!"

"The winner of the Venice International Film Festival!"

Sun Honglei, Zhu Yawen, and Zhang Ziyi were startled for a moment, and then cheered.

Sun Hao couldn't believe his ears, and watched others say that he hugged, shook hands, and joked.

"me?"

Zhou Tao nodded with a smile, and then said loudly, "That's right, it's you!"

Sun Hao still couldn’t believe it, because that’s not what was written in the script. According to Harvey Weinstein’s design, to maximize profits, let “The Piano of Steel” win the Golden Lion Award as much as possible.

Although he never talked about it with another person, Sun Hao has always been prepared in this way.

But now, Zhou Tao won the best newcomer, which is very surprising. Unexpectedly, he also became the Best Actor in Venice.

"Don't stand still, hurry up to receive the award." Seeing Sun Hao in a daze, Zhou Tao, Xu Jinglei and others reminded loudly.

"I haven't even prepared a speech, and I don't know what to say." Sun Hao smiled and adjusted his clothes, and walked to the stage with steady steps.

"Just a few words of thanks!" Xu Jinglei shouted at Sun Hao.

"Clap clap clap..."

In the warm applause, Sun Hao took the trophy from the award presenter Javier Bardem.

He raised the trophy in his hand and said into the microphone: "Thank you to the jury for awarding me this award, and thank you to all the actors and crew in the crew. I am very happy to be filming with you, and I hope to continue to cooperate in the future!

Finally, I must thank our director Zhang Meng, Director Zhang, you are the best! "

After the words of thanks, Sun Hao wanted to leave, but he just turned around and walked back to the microphone in full view.

"Oh, I'm sorry to waste everyone's time. Let me say one last thing. Director Xu Jinglei, in my mind, you are the best female director in the world, um, bar none!"

Chapter 1229

[Venice local time September 9th, the 10nd Venice International Film Festival officially closed.

The film "The Piano of Steel" directed by new mainland director Zhang Meng will surprise to the end. After helping former state television variety show host Zhou Tao win the best newcomer award, the famous director Sun Hao won the Best Actor award at the Venice Film Festival.

Director Sun Hao is also the second Chinese actor to receive this honor after senior brother Xia Yu...]

The entertainment pages of the three major domestic portal websites acted extremely fast. After a few minutes, the headlines were replaced with the news that Sun Hao became the Best Actor of the Venice Film Festival.

Although it is already the early morning of the 11th domestic time, many people who follow the movie "The Piano" have been waiting for news.

When the news came that Sun Hao won the Best Actor in Venice for his movie "The Piano of Steel", the students of the Central Academy of Drama cheered, especially the students of the 02 acting undergraduate class, who even sprayed in the dormitory with ribbons.

At the same time, on the Internet, whether it is movie fans, fans, or ordinary people who eat melons, there are thunderous cheers.

"Sun Hao has become the actor, I'll go, bull B, it's worth waiting for the news until the middle of the night!"

"I don't think Sun Hao will be a film director in the future. It would be great to just act directly. Venice Best Actor, Berlin Best Actor, Cannes Best Actor, plus Golden Globe and Oscar Best Actor, as long as there are, we can't let them go!"

"Director Sun Hao, I will always support you!"

"Sun Hao, I am your most loyal fan, and I wish you the Best Actor in Venice, one of the three major film festivals in Europe.

But, look at me too, I'm actually quite talented as an actor! "

……

From the moment the news of the award was announced, Sun Hao's mobile phone has not stopped vibrating. The congratulatory text messages are one after another, and the phone is just after receiving a call, and the second call will come in immediately. Even Xu Jinglei beside her , Zhou Tao, Zhu Yawen, and Zhao Laoji all received a lot of calls congratulating Sun Hao on winning the Best Actor Award in Venice.

At the end of the award ceremony, there was a celebratory reception organized by the film festival. At the celebratory reception, Sun Hao and Harvey Weinstein sat together.

"what happened?

Didn't you say yes? "The Piano of the Steel" is working hard towards winning the Golden Lion Award, why did it become "I am the Best Actor" in the blink of an eye? Sun Hao picked up his wine glass and touched Harvey Weinstein.

"Two reasons:

First, Italy is not Hollywood, and it is not the home of my buddies. Although there are some judges who are familiar with me here, my buddies really can’t do what they are asked to do. "Harvey Weinstein smiled and drank the wine in his glass.

"Then... what about the second reason?" Sun Hao asked.

"Second, that guy Marco Muller admired you very much, saying that the laid-off workers you played have a very good life, like digging out ash from a coal stove. Most people use an iron hook to dig out from below, but you are different. , you put a new briquette on it, and then step on it with your feet.

It wasn't until I couldn't step on it anymore that I used the hook to dig out the ashes. "

"so what?"

"So, Marco Muller said that this year's best actor must be Sun Hao. If it is replaced by another person, he will resign as the chairman of the Venice Film Festival next year."

"Uh……"

Hearing the voting inside story told by Harvey Weinstein, Sun Hao didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Originally, he wanted to hide behind the scenes and be a film director.

Can earn money, pick up girls, and enjoy the admiration of celebrities!

But who would have thought that I just felt that the script of "The Piano of the Piano" was good, and wanted to play for a while, um, and then I would become the best actor.

"Sun Hao..."

"Ok?"

"It's actually not bad. When you won the award for Best Actor, more than seven European film distributors contacted me, and they all hoped to introduce "The Piano".

If you add up their prices, it will probably exceed 780 million euros.Of course, this is not the final price. After negotiation, the final price may be higher. "

"Is it film distribution and distribution?" Sun Hao asked.

"Of course.

The distribution makes a lot of money, like the British film distributor Yimeizhi Film Studio, who bid 75 pounds and is only responsible for the distribution in the UK..."

When it comes to film distribution, Harvey Weinstein is a professional, and he does what he can to maximize profits.

Of course, Sun Hao also recognized his profession very much.

"So, Harvey, how much will our producers get?"

"If it's just Zhang Meng, I'll give him a maximum of 100 million US dollars, but are you here? Let's each have half of it?"

"okay!"

Sun Hao agreed, and raised his hand to greet Zhang Meng, who was standing not far away and was chatting with Monica Bellucci in suffocated English.

The movie "The Piano of Steel" is directed by Zhang Meng, and it is most suitable for him to sign it.

……

Without staying in Venice, Sun Hao, Zhao Laoji, and Zhou Tao boarded the plane back to China early the next morning.

He didn't deliberately conceal his whereabouts. When the plane took off from Venice, the domestic media had already received the news. Therefore, when the plane landed in the capital, when Sun Hao came out of the terminal, he was greeted by hundreds of reporters.

Of course, besides the reporters, there are also many movie fans and students. Looking around, there are probably 500 people.

These movie fans and students held various signs and posters in their hands...

[Welcome Director Sun Hao to return home! 】

【Teacher Sun, we love you! 】

[Actor, director Sun Hao is the actor! 】

……

Reporters, movie fans and students had been waiting at the airport for hours, when they saw Sun Hao, Zhou Tao, Zhao Laoji and others appear.The atmosphere at the scene was immediately ignited, the fans screamed frantically, and the reporters raised their cameras and kept pressing the shutter on Sun Hao, the whole hall was brightly illuminated.

The reporters gathered around, and in front of Sun Hao was a circle of microphones and recording pens:

"Director, congratulations on getting the first actor in your life. Do you have anything to say to domestic movie fans?"

"Director, there is a lot of appeal on the Internet. Everyone says that since Director Sun Hao has such acting skills, why not just write, direct and act in every movie like Mr. Zhou Xingchi?!"

"Director, I need you to confirm a piece of news. Someone on the Internet broke the news that they will be filming the film "Avatar" soon. In fact, it is not one but two films. Is this true?"

Sun Hao smiled and waved to the fans and reporters, then walked away while answering the questions raised by everyone:
