Applause was thunderous in the Sara Grand Theater. Mark Muller, chairman of the Venice Film Festival, stood in the center of the stage and announced the winners of the Venice Film Festival Lifetime Achievement Award. The winners were not one person, but a team, the most powerful animation film production team in the world today.''

"Please... John Lasseter, Brad Bird, Peter Dougt, Andrew Stanton and Lee Anchridge!"

Regardless of the reactions of others, Ryan took the lead in standing up and clapping his palms. The people around him stood up, led by him, until the audience stood up.

This is an honor belonging to Pixar Studio, an honor belonging to Industrial Light and Magic, and a honor belonging to Walt Disney. Pixar, who was ignored at the time and even ridiculed by others, has now become an animation giant that the whole world envies.

The five people who won the award are the All-Star team of Pixar Studios. If you use Oriental vocabulary, they are the Five Tiger Generals of Disney Animation.

When the five people walked onto the stage, the award presenters who came out from the backstage were obviously also carefully selected by the Venice Film Festival - George Lucas!

He is the real founder of Pixar Animation Studio. Even though he later sold the department to Steve Jobs, no one could deny it.

Under the long-lasting applause of the audience, George Lucas first briefly talked about the first meeting with John Lasseter in the technical department of his production company in 1979, and how the latter convinced him to invest and support the development of animation creation.

He then presented the Golden Lion, who represented the Lifetime Achievement Award to the Pixar Studios team.

"Thanks George, if he had not had his full support at the beginning of the establishment, there would not have been the Pixar Studio now."

After receiving the trophy, John Lassett was the first to stand in front of the microphone. "When Mark told me that he had won the Lifetime Achievement Award, I thought he had made a mistake. I was surprised. The Golden Lion Award was the first time in history to the animation team. It was not one person yet. We had thousands of people working for Pixar, which is the luck of all of us."

"Thanks to Ryan for his complete efforts to bring Pixar Studio out of trouble. He gave Pixar the greatest creative freedom, and from 1993 to the present, he has given Pixar the greatest support."

"Pixar always insists on not only the picture, but the emotions expressed in the story, so Pixar's animation is not just for children to enjoy."

Others also said a few words one after another, and the center of the words was naturally the Pixar animation they loved. "Technology serves the plot, we find the best directors and tell good stories. At Disney, we also maintain our own style."

Hollywood awards again?

This result was predicted by many people when "The Rat King" participated in the screening session. It is an indisputable fact that the Hollywood style of this film festival is blowing.

But after Ryan watched "The Rat King", he found some problems. Some problems that Pixar has accumulated continuously and successfully, but it is hard to say now. Everything must be solved when "The Rat King" is released on a large scale.

Success always makes people ignore some problems, and Pixar is no exception.

Those from Asia and mainland Europe will inevitably have some opinions, of course, it is not without understanding people. This is a reform made by the Venice Film Festival, or a compromise on the market and the mainstream film culture in the world. After all, the Venice Film Festival is becoming increasingly lacking in attention is not news.

Before that, Brad Pitt of "The Death of God" and Cate Blanchett of "I'm Not Present" have taken away Best Actor and Best Actress respectively.

If you can't win back a game on another important award, Hollywood will dominate this Venice Film Festival.

Next, the award was awarded the Best Director, commonly known as the Silver Lion Award, which is also the award that Ryan is most worried about.

"Don't worry." Natalie suddenly held his hand and comforted her. "As long as we do our best, it's OK."

"I hope it won't be the Silver Lion Award." Ryan shook her hand back.

The meaning of the three major European film festivals is much more obvious than that of the Oscars. If "Black Swan" wins the comforting award of Best Director Silver Lion, it will definitely be out of the Golden Lion Award.

After doing so much work in advance, the Silver Lion Award is not the result Ryan wants.

The applause rang out without warning, and Ryan quickly came to his senses, and Ang Lee strode to the stage and took over the trophy that represented the Silver Lion Award for Best Director.

He smiled, and the corners of Natalie's mouth bent beautifully.

She also knew very well that Ang Lee and "Lust and Caution" were the biggest opponents, now...

Although it is the Venice Film Festival, but since you have joined the director and since you have come to Venice, how many people don’t want to go back to win a Golden Lion Award?

The applause was accompanied by complaints. Almost all of these sounds came from European filmmakers. If they could express their opinions, they would definitely denounce Mark Taylor and the judges, denounced them for losing the most proud artistic nature of the film festival, and denounced their compromises to their greatest enemy, Hollywood.

That's right, in their eyes, even if Ang Lee participates in the competition with a Chinese film, he is still a genuine Hollywood director.

Will the Golden Lion Award be taken away by Hollywood?

Many people have come up with this idea. As long as Europe and Asia can leave the Golden Lion, the awards won before Hollywood are simply insignificant, and the Venice Film Festival will still maintain its own sex...

only……

These people unconsciously looked at the locations of Ryan and Natalie. No matter how they concealed it, some publicity, marketing and public relations on the surface could not be hidden from these industry insiders. After all, as long as they participate in the competition unit, they are essential to get the cakes, either open or secret off-trade methods.

Even if the art that the film festival claims is used as a measure, "Black Swan" is qualified to win the award.

When Hollywood's most famous Italian actress Sophia Roland stood on the stage, many people had stopped mumbling and speculating.

After listening to Sophia Roland's brief words, Ryan felt Natalie's slightly nervous. When he looked over, she gave him a smile...

"The winner of the Golden Lion Award for Best Picture is..." Sophia Roland almost stopped and quickly read out the answer, "Black Swan, Natalie Portman!"

"Congratulations, Nat."

Ryan immediately gave him congratulations. After Natalie stood up, she hugged him hard, and then hugged Gale Gado on the other side to celebrate. Then she slightly put up the long dress that was mopping the floor and walked towards the stage.

Applause rang out like a tide. No matter what kind of discussion will appear in the future, Natalie has become the biggest winner of this year's Venice Film Festival.

Besides, after the press conference is over later, Ryan will take Natalie back to North America. What do European filmmakers and European media say? Who cares about them?

"Thanks!"

After taking the Golden Lion, Natalie stood in front of the microphone, "This is an incredible journey. I was surprised that I could win this award. Thanks to Mark Muller for appearing and thanks to the jury."

"This is my first Golden Lion Award and the first heavyweight award I have won as a director. This is a magical experience. Here, I would like to thank Scarlett Johnson, Gale Gado and others for all the people involved in the filming, thank all the members of the crew, thanks to Disney for their full support, and…"

She looked here, "Thanks to Ryan Jenkins for the script."

Natalie held up the Golden Lion, "This award belongs to all of them, thank you!"

Before the film festival, it was like European films were not welcomed in North America. Not many European filmmakers watched Hollywood contestants. They always said that Hollywood films were just a false reputation, but they just used to capture celebrities to serve as "strong men". But the facts proved that Hollywood films can make more than a dozen European film streets from quality to commercial operations to public relations marketing.

Generally speaking, Hollywood movies won two awards: Best Actor and Best Actress, and it is no longer possible to achieve great success, but like the Oscars, the quality of the film is only the basic condition for ensuring the award, and the others are more from games and compromises in all aspects.

For example, Ryan secretly promised the new picture that, on the premise that the quality of the film is up, he will guarantee an Oscar nomination for the best foreign language film.

Any winning of the award is the result of a combination of multiple factors.

After the award ceremony, Ryan and Natalie attended the press conference, and he also accepted interviews from reporters.

"Miss Portman will be a great director, smart, calm and talented."

When asked about her opinion on Natalie's identity as director, Ryan was not stingy with praise, "The most important thing is that no matter what kind of achievements she achieved, she has always kept a clear mind, knew what she wanted, and what kind of effort she had to put in. The success of "Black Swan" was the result of her more than ten years of study and accumulation."

If it weren't for the long-term learning and accumulation and practice, even with the script of "Black Swan", Natalie would not have produced this video.

The Venice Film Festival came to an end. Gale Gado originally wanted to invite Natalie to return to Israel, but she politely refused. She took a private plane with Ryan and returned to their base camp Hollywood.

"How do you want me to thank you?"

In the master bedroom of the cabin, Natalie straddled Ryan and pressed him firmly underneath, "A passionate kiss, or a fierce release?"

Without waiting for Ryan to answer, Natalie covered his mouth, her brown eyes narrowed into thin lines, and she swung her waist and said, "I feel it. My dear, don't move, just lie down and enjoy it."

After saying that, she reached her other hand under her body, rubbed her to find the right position, and then sank her waist.

Strictly speaking, the Golden Lion Award at the Venice Film Festival is not too heavy in the mainstream Hollywood film industry, and it is not even comparable to the Golden Palme d'Or in Cannes, but it is always a heavyweight award. After returning to Los Angeles, Ryan and Natalie invited many friends and partners to hold a celebration party. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
