Chapter 114 Are You Willing to Serve as a Judge for the Next Session?

The host held the microphone and looked at the audience, "Next, please invite the award-winning actors and directors to give speeches."

The crew stood on the stage, smiling and looking at each other, and everyone's eyes fell on Gong Li.

According to the order of awards, the leading actors should be first, followed by the directors.

So everyone tacitly decided the order of speeches: ladies first, Gong Li gave a speech first, then Zhang Guorong, and finally Chen Xiao.

Gong Li's eyes flashed with tears. After hugging the director, she walked to the speech stage.

The other seven people, led by Chen Xiao, stood beside the chairman and the host.

The other crews in the audience were full of envy.

The crew of "Farewell My Concubine" booked the second half and directly occupied the stage.

When the two leading actors gave speeches.

It was already 2:30 in the morning in China.

But the news that "Farewell My Concubine" won five awards still caused a huge sensation.

Less than three minutes after the results were announced, the news topped the list of major platforms and was quickly forwarded and discussed by night owls and fans.

In the dormitories of various colleges and universities, especially the girls' dormitories, students covered their mouths and screamed.

I thought there was something fishy going on, but a new award was created!

Everyone's emotions instantly soared from the bottom to the peak.

Golden Lion Award for Best Director! It was awarded for the first time in history!

History, they created history!

Who dares to say that the Chinese film industry is weak? !

And at the Capital Film Academy.

The students were simply in a frenzy!

Just like Master Guan said in "Farewell My Concubine", "No dynasty or generation has ever been as popular as our Peking Opera, you have caught up!"

It can be predicted that they have also caught up, caught up with the era of the rise of the Chinese film industry!

Compared with those who have not yet entered the industry, they are in the forefront!

Compared with those who have already entered the industry, they have plenty of time to study. Tomorrow they will carefully review "Farewell My Concubine" and study frame by frame!

This is Chen Xiao's era, and it is also their era!

The students of the Film Academy did not intend to stay in bed and shout. Anyway, everyone was awake, so they shouted directly and went out to shout!

In the dormitory area of ​​the campus, cheers and screams came one after another.

"We are the champions!"

"Rise in the film industry!"

"Losing the Silver Lion Award, hahahaha!"

"Ahhhh!"

"Chen Xiao is awesome!"

"Farewell My Concubine, awesome!"

The scene is comparable to the night IG won the championship.

In a dormitory building of the Capital Film Academy, the dormitory manager was instantly awakened, thinking it was an earthquake, and rushed out the door, only to hear the voices of "awesome" and "rise" coming from all directions.

After a few seconds, she was also infected by this emotion, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly.

Although she is not a film and television person, how can she not be moved by the shouts of "rise" coming at her?

...

Just when everyone was happy for the crew of "Farewell My Concubine", in a luxurious villa.

In front of the TV, a slim woman was hugging a pillow and crying.

This person was Shen Xuan.

Her shoulders trembled, and she cried in a hoarse voice: "Sister, I really regret it, I regret it so much, I will never eat oranges again in this life."

Missing the important role in Chen Xiao's new film, this is probably her lifelong regret.

Shen Man patted her sister on the back and sighed.

It's really raining all night, and her sister has been hit one after another recently.

After the big-name incident, someone leaked the matter.

The only son of the chairman of Lezhong broke up with her, and other crews were busy distancing themselves from her.

Fortunately, Chen Xiao did not pursue it, and the matter did not continue to ferment.

Considering the penalty for breach of contract, the endorsement and TV series that had already signed the contract did not terminate the contract with her, and they are still filming.

But her status in the entertainment industry has plummeted.

Shen Man sighed, "Xuan Xuan, you should be quiet in other people's crews in the future. Recently, almost no one in the circle dares to act like a big shot. If you do this again, you will be finished."

Shen Xuan's story spread in the circle, and a paparazzi dug out that an old actor in "Farewell My Concubine" was directly eliminated by Chen Xiao because of being late.

Top stars and old actors were kicked out for being big shots.

As soon as the news came out, the trend of being a big shot in the entertainment industry decreased greatly.

At this juncture, Shen Xuan would be finished if she acted like a big shot again.

"I know, they are all saying that Director Chen is rectifying the entertainment industry. I'm not stupid, I won't make trouble again."

Said, Shen Xuan hugged the pillow and continued to cry.

It's a pity that no matter how many tears she shed, it can't make up for the regret.

Just when she was crying.

On the stage of the Venice Film Palace, everyone smiled brightly.

The two leading actors have finished their speeches.

Amidst warm applause and screams.

Chen Xiao walked to the center of the stage, took the three trophies from Chairman Chazelle, and placed them in front of the podium.

He raised the golden St. Mark Lion and smiled at the audience.

Amidst the warm applause, he put down the trophy and spoke to the microphone:

"To save everyone's time, I will only speak as the chief director."

"Thank you Venice Film Festival, thank you for the recognition of the jury, thank you for the film production team, the opera master, and all the audience."

"..."

"I hope we can cooperate in the future to explore how to improve the level of art, make good film and television works, and climb higher mountains together."

After speaking, he raised the trophy again, smiled and nodded to the audience.

Warm applause rang out again in the venue.

On the stage, Fang Rong smiled secretly.

Haha, I am indeed going to climb a peak soon, and I am climbing in the snow. More than 4,000 meters.

I heard that many young people have fallen down due to altitude sickness.

He specially trained for more than a month, maybe...

A scene popped up in Fang Rong's mind-

Many young people fell, but he stood like a hero. Including Chen Xiao, everyone admired and praised, "Brother Fang, you are so awesome!"

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly.

Hehe! Go, go to the glacier quickly!

However, the host's speech immediately brought him back to reality.

"Thank you Director Chen for your speech. Please ask the chairman to take a group photo with the crew."

After a short group photo, the crew and the chairman walked off the stage together.

Just as Chen Xiao was about to walk back to his seat, he heard Chairman Chazelle's voice in the headset, "Mr. Chen, are you free to chat later?"

Chen Xiao turned around, "No problem."

"Then see you at the cafe on the first floor of the Lido Hotel."

"Okay."

After saying goodbye to Chazelle, Chen Xiao returned to his seat.

"Director Fang, you guys go to the celebration banquet first, I'll go see Chazelle."

The celebration banquet was full of the crew's own family, so it was okay for him to go later.

Fang Rong touched his chin and whispered, "I heard that he has a weird personality. You should be careful."

Chen Xiao waved his hand, "It's okay. He can't hit me, right?"

"I heard that he really fought with other directors."

"..."

Twenty minutes later.

The cafe on the first floor of the Lido Hotel.

Three people sat around a round table by the French window.

In addition to Chen Xiao and Chazelle, the third person was Rocco, the director of the film festival of the Venice Biennale, the organizer.

Locke looked out the window and turned his head to look at Chazelle, "You really know how to choose a place. Are you afraid that others don't know that the three of us are meeting?"

Chazelle shrugged and said indifferently, "The view by the window is good. What others think is none of my business?"

Locke smiled helplessly.

Forget it, it doesn't matter if you are seen. Anyway, there is nothing shameful.

He looked at Chen Xiao and got straight to the point.

"Director Chen, are you willing to serve as a jury member of the Venice Film Festival next year?"

Chen Xiao hesitated for a moment.

The jury has a heavy workload.

He received films from more than 200 countries, watched and discussed them, and selected the shortlisted films, and then attended the entire film festival.

It took at least two months.

Forget it, two months was enough for him to shoot a movie.

"Sorry, I might be busy at this time next year."

What he didn't expect was that as soon as he said that, Chazelle sat up straight and stretched out his hand to Locke.

"I told you a long time ago that he would definitely not agree. If you lose the bet, give me 500 euros. Who likes to do such hard work?"

Locke reluctantly took out the only banknote in his pocket and stuffed it into his hand.
