………………………………………

In the hall of the award ceremony, Wang Meng sat down with both helplessness and a bitter smile.

I should have thought of it for a long time, even if I was nominated or even shortlisted for the final prize of the Golden Lion Award, the seat arrangement is always an insignificant position.

Zhang Lantian and Jia Zhangke didn't think so much about it.

The two of them are so nervous now that they have experienced the scene just now. Zhang Lantian also personally experienced it.

Even though he was scheming, he had no solution to the situation just now. Who would have thought that he would have come so suddenly, and who would have thought that Wang Meng would have refuted so passionately.

In fact, Zhang Lantian was thinking that if he had just treated Allen's words as if he hadn't heard them and pretended to be a grandson like this, then these things would not have happened.

Zhang Lantian glanced at Wang Meng. Although Wang Meng's expression was very serious at this moment, his firm and persistent gaze was impossible to be wrong.

So, if what happened just now was repeated, Wang Meng would stand up. It seems that he thought of pretending that his grandson was not true.

Zhang Lantian shook his head helplessly, just as Wang Meng said just now, it was too late to say this.

The only expectation now is to win the award!

If you win the award, everything is easy to say.

Not to mention that you can easily settle Allen, and taking this opportunity to take Wang Meng and Dream Factory to grow stronger.

But if it fails, not to mention that Wang Meng and the company will sink, the blow will be huge, and at least the nearly one year of efforts of DreamWorks will be wasted.

"Director Wang, I didn't do it well just now, so I should say those words." After thinking about it for a while, Zhang Lantian said regretfully.

Wang Meng understood what Zhang Lantian meant. Zhang Lantian was blaming himself for his slow reaction and should have answered Allen's malicious insult first.

In that case, even if Zhang Lantian says exactly the same thing as Wang Meng, it will be fine. At most, it’s better to resign or keep a low profile for a few years, which will not hinder the company’s development and public opinion.

However, Wang Meng is different. Wang Meng collapsed, and DreamWorks collapsed 90%.

The difference between the two's value ratio, public opinion ratio and reality is too big.

"No matter what you do, it's useless to say that these things are useless. Don't think about anything now. You can do whatever you want. Maybe we will succeed? Life is always unpredictable, right?" Wang Meng smiled rare.

"Haha..." Zhang Lantian smiled bitterly by Wang Meng, but she smiled a little ugly.

"Hope so!"

"Okay, let's start. Saying something else is useless. If you can't choose, just face it." Wang Meng said.

At 19:30 in Venice, the award ceremony began.

The jury members of the 63rd Venice Film Festival competition unit include a total of six judges, including famous Hollywood director and producer Cameron Crowe, Italian actor and director Miguel Prachido, Korean director Park Zan-yu, Spanish director Bigas Luna, Portuguese producer Paul Blanco, and Russian actress Chupan Hamadova.

Under the leadership of the chairman of the jury and famous French actress Catherine Deneuve, the Golden Lion Award and other awards in the competition unit of this year's Venice Film Festival will be decided.

The six international judges were recommended by the Venice Film Festival chairman Marco Muller and were approved by David Klov, chairman of the Venice Biennale.

The speeches on the closing ceremony and the themes of the award ceremony that remain unchanged for thousands of years are the same at home and abroad, and they are all praises.

Fortunately, Wang Meng's English level is very good and she can understand it.

Next is the main dish.

Many domestic and Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan were also participating in the award ceremony.

However, these people were not familiar with Wang Meng's relationship, so they just reluctantly greeted each other and nodded.

These people don’t know what happened to Wang Meng on the red carpet before.

In fact, only a small number of reporters knew about the scene just now, and recorded it. The stars on the red carpet knew not much.

After all, they didn't watch the live broadcast and didn't know that such a thing happened.

Among the previous awards, Zhang Yuan won the Robert Bryson Award on September 5, which is the first award he won by this Chinese filmmaker.

When it was transmitted back to China a few days ago, it caused a sensation.

Not all awards are issued on September 10, and some unimportant awards will be presented every day from August 30 to September 9.

As for Zhang Yuan, he was also a weird person. He was arrested twice after taking drugs and refused to change his mind. It can be said that he is a typical representative of depravity. Now is his most glorious moment.

On September 10, the ten most important awards were issued, namely the Golden Lion Award for Best Picture, the Silver Lion Award for Best Director, the Silver Lion "New Discovery" Award, the Jury Special Award, the Best Actor, the Best Actress, the Best Screenwriter, the Best Technical Contribution Award, the Best Horizon Unit Best Film, and the Lifetime Achievement Award, these ten biggest awards.

The previous life may be different, but this is the case with the Venice International Film Festival in this life.

The first Lifetime Achievement Award was awarded, and the director from the United States, David Lynch.

This 60-year-old man said with emotion. He didn't have much popularity in his film work, and now he has won the Lifetime Achievement Award, which is indeed worth congratulations.

The second award was the best film in the Horizon Unit. This award was participated by Chinese films and is also one of the most anticipated films in China for this film festival.

In CCTV's live broadcast room, Bai Yansong had just cleverly spent the scene of Wang Meng.

Now, seeing the awards for domestic film participation have arrived, Bai Yansong mobilized the atmosphere.

"The next step is to present the award for this year's 'Horizon Unit Best Film Award'. The Chinese film "The Court on the Horseback" nominated for this award. This film is directed by Liu Jie..."

"Professor Ma, what do you think of "The Court on Horseback"?" Bai Yansong asked.

Professor Ma said without thinking:

These critics and professors have studied the video thoroughly before, so they can easily get it.

Finally, Professor Ma said: "Anyway, I am optimistic about this film. As for the result, I am sure, but I am not sure."

"Well, it's revealed, what's the winner?" Bai Yansong stared at the live broadcasting machine and said quickly.

And the Venice awards ceremony...

“The one who won the 63rd Horizon Unit Best Picture Award” is…”

"The Court on Horseback" - from China, congratulations."

As the award presenter pronounced his name, CCTV's live broadcast room and the audience who were guarding the TV were in full swing.

At the scene, Liu Jie, director of "The Court on Horseback", was so excited that he couldn't help but adjust his mentality. After accepting congratulations from Wang Meng and others and filmmakers from Hong Kong and Taiwan, he slowly walked onto the podium...
