By the way, I almost forgot that there was a Horizon Unit Award before the main competition unit was awarded.

The so-called horizon unit is the second largest competition unit of the Venice Film Festival.

The three major European film festivals all have a second competition unit, such as Cannes' attention;

The Berlin Film Festival has a panoramic unit, divided into two parts: "Panoramic unit special film" and "Panoramic documentary";

Horizon unit 2oo began to be held in 4 years, focusing on encouraging the experiment and innovation of films to capture the future trends and trends of international films. The unit is mainly feature films, but also allows documentaries to participate in competitions and feature films to evaluate awards.

The Horizon Unit is a screening unit, and the participating videos do not participate in the Golden Lion Awards.

Jia Zhangke, Wang Bing, Li Yu, Liu Jie, Guan Shu, Xu Haohaofeng and others have all been shortlisted for the Horizon Unit with their respective works.

This year's Chinese-language film missed the Golden Lion Award, which is the main competition unit, but one work was shortlisted for the Horizon Unit.

Documentary director Wang Bing won the Best Screenplay Award for the Horizon Unit for "Big Money". This is his second time winning the Horizon Unit in the Venice Film Festival!

Sam Mendes opened the envelope and looked at the directors in the audience.

The European, Asian and American directors who voted behind the scenes were eagerly watching Sam Mendes. In a sense, the Golden Lion, Golden Bear and Palme d'Or are the highest film awards they can win.

Most of these people have no chance to get into real commercial blockbusters!

Compared to these people, Shen Lin seemed terrifyingly calm.

He really doesn't care about the Golden Lion this time. To put it bluntly, "La La Land" has achieved a sensational effect through the screening of the Venice Film Festival.

The movie has been hyped and reputation.

It is precisely because of this that after attending the opening ceremony, Shen Lin led the crew out of Venice. The Toronto Film Festival is even more important to "La La Land"!

Moreover, according to the consistent nature of European film festivals, he will definitely not award the grand prize to the popular ones. The probability of his winnings is infinitely close to zero...

In fact, although all the media, including North American media and domestic media in Nie, praised La La Land, given the choice of the Venice Film Festival in recent years, they are not optimistic about La La Land to win the Golden Lion Award.

In order to show your personality, the Venice Film Festival will selectively ignore films from Hollywood. It has given you the best actress. What else do you want?

Sure enough, Sam Mendes continued: "The winner of the Golden Lion Award is..."

He paused briefly: "The Woman Leaving"!"

The movie palace is strangely silent, Wat?

"The Leaving Woman"?

What the hell?

Shen Lin was also shocked!

It took a long time to recover.

"The Woman Leaving"?"

"That film by Philippine director Raf Daz?"

After about a few seconds of silence, the applause began to sound.

But the applause sounded like a lot of force.

"Haha, can you win awards for a four-hour movie?"

Shen Lin couldn't help but complain to himself.

Alas, we are so fussy. Four hours are a big deal. As early as 2oo8 years old, Raf Daz won the Best Picture Award at the 65th Venice Film Festival Horizon Unit for his film "Melancholy".

Almost all their movies are long, and "Depression" lasts for more than 7 hours.

Relatively speaking, "The Woman Who Leaved" is quite short.

Raf Daz's works are famous for their longevity. "The Woman Leaving" lasts 226 minutes. Earlier this year, he was shortlisted for the main competition unit of the Berlin Film Festival, "The Secret Lullaby of Sadness" lasted 485 minutes, and it took a whole day to show the official screening!

Most people find it incredible after listening to it. Damn, 485 minutes, eight hours of movies?

It's almost time to catch up with the 13-level American drama in the first season!

So, Chen Lin is really too young in the art of film!

...

"Yeah, it's quite unexpected..."

After the award ceremony, Chen Lin met a domestic reporter and asked him about his views on this Venice Film Festival. The worst thing was his views on the Golden Lion Award winner "The Left Woman".

"Why?"

"I always think that when a movie is made, it should be aimed at the public and placed in the cinema for viewers to appreciate. I really can't accept a four-hour work. After all, the limit of holding urine in the human body is only two hours, which is scientifically verified."

Chen Lin's answer was very honest.

"But this work won the Golden Lion Award!"

"So I was surprised. I guess it was because my level was too low and I couldn't appreciate real art!"

“…What about your opinion on La La Land?”

"That's my work, what do you think?"

"What do you think about the fact that Chinese-language films are not shortlisted for the main competition unit of the Venice Film Festival?"

"…There are fewer movies suitable for film festivals in Chinese films, which are good things rather than bad things! I don't oppose film festivals, nor do I oppose sending movies to film festivals, I oppose making certain types of movies for the sake of film festivals."

Chen Lin thought about it and then replied: "Italian films have always advocated neorealism. The so-called neorealism films emphasize ordinary people and daily life as the focus of the film's discussion. They represent ordinary people living at the bottom of society and showing the survival process of ordinary people. This thing has no market and is completely contrary to the most mainstream movies..."

The two were chatting when Zhao Junqi came over.

"Hey, Sister Wei, you are here too? How about it, do you feel good about the judges?"

Chen Lin took the initiative to speak.

"Don't mention it, I'm almost exhausted when watching movies!"

Zhao Wei sighed, then looked at the reporter: "The film festival is over, aren't you going back to China yet?"

"Sister Wei, don't we want to interview a few celebrities."

"What were you talking about just now?"

"…I was telling him that the routine of art films is too deep, and I'm a little irritating. I'd better go home and shoot commercial films honestly!"

Chen Linzhuo said before the reporter said.

"Haha, really? You really said that?"

Zhao Wei's smile was exposed.

The military flag comrade has a very good personality.

"It's probably what it means. I didn't expect that a movie like "Barial Area" would win the Silver Lion Award. This is completely 18-banned Ivy! Speechless, the judges of this session are simply... no, I mean the other judges..."

Chen Lin was about to complain about the judge's bad eyes, but suddenly he thought that Zhao Wei was also one of the judges, so he quickly changed his words.

"...It's okay, I think it's incredible. I was so disgusting to watch that movie at that time!"

Zhao smiled and said, "By the way, when will you return to China? Why don't you go to my winery to sit?"

"Forget it, I'll fly to Bangkok later, and the whole crew is waiting for me!"

Chen Lin thought about it, but refused Zhao Junqi's invitation.

"Then I'll leave first, goodbye!"

"Yeah, goodbye!"
Chapter completed!
