Chapter 373: Best Picture Award
“Although I’m happy when I received my award, I just feel that it feels different when the whole team gets the award.” Yun Xiangxiang was still clapping.
Winning The best actress award only proved that the heroine had performed well in the film. Why was the best film the highest award?
It was because the best film meant that the entire film was outstanding. Anyway, she liked it better when the whole team gets the best film award more than the honorary film queen award.
The best photographer award was the same. Although the award was given to the photographer, it was undeniable that the photographer’s skills were superb. But without the director’s ease of use and the actor’s interpretation in place, The visual effects of this work could not possibly be recognized.
Next was the Film Queen Award. To Yun Xiangxiang’s surprise, she was nominated!
The broadcast clip was when the marquis of Cai molested madam Xi. She was a weak woman, but the moment the sword came out, the sword’s sharpness coincided with the fortitude and determination in her eyes.
Her sword pointed to the marquis of Cai first. Her weak body, delicate face, the heavy long sword, her strong facade, and her slightly trembling wrists formed an incredibly sharp contrast.
The marquis of Cai saw through her facade and pounced towards her indifferently, but did not expect that she chose to prove her innocence by death without hesitation.
Just when everyone thought Madam Xi was a strong and loyal woman, the marquis of Cai was nervous and afraid that she would die here.
He got Madam Xi, and she had yet to speak up. But if she were to die here, it was impossible to explain it.
When the marquis of Cai tried to stop her, Madam Xi didn’t do what others thought. She seemed to have already calculated that the marquis of Cai wanted to stop her.
She found the best opportunity, and with the most brilliant flick, she stabbed the strong and courageous marquis of Cai.
This was when the audience knew that this was a show in a show, and Madam Xi’s stubbornness was just an act from the beginning to the end.
She calculated this man who was unruly to her. Every expression and every detail was captured perfectly.
The scene froze on her, holding the bloodied sword, looking down at the maquis of Cai, who was falling to the floor.
Her eyes made people see wisdom, and her expression made people know that she was still a gentle and quiet beauty.
It was not fierce, or powerful, or domineering. It was just natural.
“The nomination is right.” He Xingzhou rarely said, earnestly.
This compliment was not because he was familiar with her, nor because it was their film, but because it was pertinent acknowledgment.
Yun Xiangxiang pursed her lips and smiled. She was also delighted with her portrayal of this climax scene.
A little effort in this scene would have destroyed Madam Xi’s gentle and graceful character, which was incompatible with the previous one.
But if there were not enough control, there would be no sense of layering. This dying scene would be just like the rest.
It was quite challenging to let the audience realize later on that it was clear, Madam Xi had been setting up the marquis of Cai from the moment she pulled out the sword.
The next three nominated stars were all internationally famous, and even Hollywood actresses.
In the end, Yun Xiangxiang still missed the big award of the film queen, but she was not disappointed at all.
To be nominated and her best scene broadcast was proof of the recognition of her excellence.
Not winning an award did not mean she was not good enough, but that someone else was better than her, and she still had room to work hard.
After the heroines were the heroes, there was no doubt that Lu Jin was shortlisted.
“The best actor award is superstar Lu Jin from China!”
She clapped excitedly again, and Lu Jin smiled at her resignedly. She was not that excited when she was shortlisted before.
This was the second time Lu Jin was crowned emperor at the Venice Film festival. His influence and popularity in Italy would increase to a higher level. She was happy for him.
The most wonderful thing was that the presenter of the Lu Jin’s award turned out to be the Italian actress Kaya, who had a chance to meet him once at a fashion show.
“I heard that Kaya is Jin’s suitor. Are you ecstatic now?” Of course, the host did not let this topic slip.
“Yes, I am happy, happy for him,” Kaya admitted genuinely.
Foreigners had never been reserved about their feelings, nor would they think that women chasing men are idiots, and they were not reserved.
“Jin, do you think you can be together regarding Kaya’s pursuit?” The host asked Lu Jin once more.
“I am honored to be favored by Kaya, but my ideal wife is a Chinese girl with black hair and black eyes.” Lu Jin rejected gently.
“Oh, it doesn’t matter, I can dye my hair and wear cosmetic contacts,” Kaya replied humorously.
This brought laughter from both on and below the stage, and the host did not poke fun anymore. Lu Jin was very gentlemanly and helped Kaya down the stage.
The next was the Best Director Award. There was no doubt that Wu Zhao was also nominated. Milles was nominated too.
Yun Xiangxiang recalled that previously “University Dream” was when Han Jing and Milles collided. In the end, Milles won and took the prize.
“Winning the Best Director Award is our old friend. He is…”
Therefore, Yun Xiangxiang’s heart rejoiced when the guest read out the winner for the Best Director Award.
“Director from China, Mr. Wu!”
Yun Xiangxiang clapped even harder. Wu Zhao, sitting in front of her, faced her as he left his seat, “Don’t use too much force. I won’t be responsible if your hands hurt later.”
Sitting in front of her, Wu Zhao naturally knew her excitement every time they were nominated for an award.
Wu Zhao did not delay. He stepped onto the awarding stage and took away the golden prize.
“The King’s Plan” had already won three out of four nominations so far, and the awards were all of great value.
Next was the judge’s award, “The King’s Plan” was nominated again, but the winner was someone else.
Then it came to the biggest award: the Best Picture Award.
The nominees included “The King’s Plan” and the film of the best actress winner. The other two were also very influential foreign works.
Yun Xiangxiang was even more nervous. It was too competitive, and it was Joseph who was awarded the prizes.
“There are so many excellent works this year. I hereby announce that the best film was “Lumberjack”…”
Hearing that it was a British work, Yun Xiangxiang was a little disappointed, but Joseph’s voice continued the next moment.
“The golden award goes to “Lumberjack,” and the Silver Award goes to “The King’s Wisdom.” Congratulations.”
“We won an award.” He Xingzhou said to Yun Xiangxiang happily.
Yun Xiangxiang was also startled, and immediately followed the crowd and clapped.
She just found out that when the Venice Film Festival sometimes had two excellent works at the same time, and they felt that both should be awarded. It would be set as a Gold Award and Silver Award.
So as not to miss the recognition of outstanding works, although the silver award is called the second best, it was also an award!
