[US Entertainment] Superstar

Chapter 397 Shadow Queen

The closing ceremony of the Venice Film Festival is actually broadcast live on TV, but it is only for TV stations in Europe. It is very difficult for audiences in other parts of the world to watch the closing ceremony video. The Internet has not yet developed to that point, and most media use text live broadcast method.

Yahoo Entertainment is currently the largest entertainment gossip website, and of course it will not let go of such hot spots as the three major film festivals.It's just that there is a clear difference in the number of hits by netizens. The ones with the most hits are basically red carpet photos or posts about celebrities and celebrities, while the posts that really discuss movies don't get much attention and discussion.

Almost none of the works shortlisted in the main competition unit has any reputation. Even the most experienced movie fans cannot know much about these filmmakers. After all, they come from various countries and regions all over the world, and the distribution is too wide!And everyone can only discuss it based on on-site reports and the analysis of film critics. You can't watch the movie yourself, and there is not much to talk about.

Coupled with the time difference, many people are actually just waiting for the result, not paying much attention to the process, which makes the forum very lively.

"The wind in Venice is too strong. I feel sorry for these female stars and models."

"The wind blew the dress beautifully, but the hairstyle was so messed up that I didn't even see Caroline Kukarova's face."

"Eve is in such a good state. There is a difference between having a work and walking on the red carpet with confidence. Armani's dress is so beautiful!"

"The hair stylist is very smart. She made this hairstyle for her. It looks very refreshing, as if it was shot in a different place from the others."

"Hurry up and fast forward to the awards ceremony!"

"It feels like there aren't many celebrities on the red carpet. Eve must support the starlight by herself. No wonder the reporters and hosts won't let her leave."

"What's going on at the scene, update it quickly!"

""Lost in Translation" has such a good reputation in the media, so I shouldn't have to run with you tonight."

The reason why the three major film festivals are less influential than the Oscars and Golden Globes is largely due to the fact that the audience cannot see the films participating in the exhibition, and the sense of participation in the film and the actor's award is actually not so sufficient.

The Oscar-nominated films every year are all films that have been released. The audience has more or less seen a few or one of them, and they know the details of those films very well.

However, the films of the film festival are all premiered on the film festival, and only a very small number of live audiences can see them.The rest of the audience can only watch the feedback and cannot know the real content of a movie, so naturally they will not be so sincere in chasing or cheering.

Now the reason why these netizens are so loud about Eve's actress trophy is largely because they only know Eve in the many participating films, and they can't name the other actresses at all.

……

Turning her gaze back to the Venice Film Festival, Eve looked at Sofia next to her with some worry. The closing ceremony of this year was full of surprises, and the consecutive awards announced were all dark horses.

The best director was won by Babak Bayami, the director of the Iranian film "Secret Vote", and the jury award went to the Austrian film "Hot Days". Now there are only three ultimate awards for best actor and actress and best film Not announced.

The highest award of the three major film festivals, that is, the best picture award, has its own name. Berlin is the Golden Bear Award, Cannes is the Golden Palm Award, and Venice is the Golden Lion Award. They are all related to the appearance of their respective trophies.The trophies of the male and female protagonists are all silver, also known as silver bears and silver lions and so on.

Sophia's face was slightly stiff. She originally thought that her "Lost in Translation" was very good, and all kinds of praises kept coming, and even the most severe film critics were reluctant to criticize.

In the end, I sat on the bench for an hour without any awards at all.

"The Golden Lion Award should be hopeless. I don't know if there is still a possibility for the actor award." Sophia said in a low voice. If she didn't win the award, she would be complained by the media and fans, but after a few years, no one would remember it.

Eve didn't want her expectations to be too high, she replied: "Our main battlefield is still in North America, Venice can give the best award, and it's okay if we don't."

This year's jury does not have judges from North America, but judges from Europe and Asia, which is obviously very detrimental to Hollywood films.

When the quality is similar, why should others give the award to Hollywood?Make Hollywood movies more powerful?

"But we have decided to release it globally. If we win the award, it will be more conducive to publicity." Sophia's words are very realistic. The award-winning works can have the name of the award on the poster. If they don't win the award, they can't do this. .

While the two were whispering, the legendary Italian actress Sophia Loren came to the stage. This is a real national treasure actor, and she received countless applause as soon as she took the stage!

Not only is the Italian David Award cancerous, but she is also the first foreign actress in Oscar history. She has won Cannes and Golden Globes and has been active in the film industry for nearly 40 years.

However, what made the crew and the audience uncomfortable was that Sophia Loren chose to present the award in Italian. Everyone was a little at a loss, they didn't know what they were talking about, and they just smiled and applauded politely.As long as I pretend to be natural, no one will find that I don't understand!

Eve clapped along with the crowd, and suddenly she heard a familiar name, and then everyone around looked at her, and at the same time, various congratulatory sounds kept coming.

The director next to him, who had the same name as the legendary actress on stage, Sofia Coppola, hugged Eve, who was still in a daze, and said loudly: "Congratulations, you have won the Best Actress Award! Come on stage to accept the award." !"

It can be seen from the name that the Coppola family is Italian, but they just moved to the United States. Their family can speak Italian, and the "Godfather" series of movies that are popular all over the world spread the Italian mafia to all over the world. Venice is like coming home.

The rest couldn't understand what the people on stage were saying, but Sofia Coppola had no problem at all.

When she heard that Eve had won the Best Actress Award, the female director was filled with excitement!Not only happy for Eve, but also excited for the movie, and at the same time feel that this is God helping me.

Because the more actor awards Eve has won, the more important she is as an actor and star. When people mention her, they won't think of the director.At this year's Oscars, many members will pay more attention to her status as a performer than to vote for the best director when voting.

Eve didn't think so far at all. She hugged Sophia and Bill Murray, and thanked the congratulators around her, then lifted her skirt and walked up the stage.

The expression on his face was only surprised at the first moment, followed by relaxation and a smile. His performance fully deserved this award, and there was no guilt or upset at all.

In just two years, she won the second Best Actress trophy of the three major film festivals, and she was only one Best Actress of the Berlin Film Festival away from the Grand Slam.

The grand slam mentioned in the film industry usually refers to the three major film festivals in Berlin, Cannes, Venice and the Oscar Golden Globes. Eve's debut time is very short, but the awards are not bad. She directly caught up with and surpassed many seniors, becoming The most promising actress to win a Grand Slam!

"Thank you all the judges for your love, and thank you for the movie "Lost in Translation". When I saw the script and the project, I said that I must play this role. Sophia wrote the story very well. This is the best I have ever played. One of the roles. It's an honor for our team!"

There is really no need to be sensational. Eve held up the trophy in the shape of a silver lion in her hand, and the media reporters below filmed this scene. The high-spirited young actress is completely the hot spot of today's news, which can save sales and distribution. sales volume.

Here, she had just arrived at the backstage of the awards ceremony, and many media outlets sent back the results and photos of the ceremony. Naturally, the online media responded the fastest, and many media outlets reported directly.
