Chinese entertainment: What's wrong with actresses wanting to improve?

Chapter 481 Venice Film Festival

In the "World Cinema Bar" on Baidu Tieba, the thread summarizing Fu Yibai's achievements was once again pushed to the front page.

The original poster updated the timeline chart overnight. The line with the Venice Golden Lion, which was originally marked with a question mark, became a solid line, and the small text next to it changed from "September 11, 2011, Venice Film Festival closing" to a line of red text—"September 11, 2011, Golden Lion won."

The second floor is a new post made by the original poster at 3 a.m.

"Four trophies, eight years."

Berlin Golden Bear – In 2003, Fu Yibai's first feature film won the highest award, even though he hadn't graduated yet.

Cannes Palme d'Or – In 2007, four years later, he conquered the Cannes jury with his film "The Hunt".

Oscar for Best Director – On February 27, 2011, Interstellar made him the first mainland Chinese director to win the Oscar for Best Director.

The Golden Lion of Venice – On September 11, 2011, "The Woman Who Left" completed the final piece of the puzzle of the three major European theaters.

From Berlin to Venice, from 2003 to 2011, eight years, four top awards.

Third in world film history, and first in Chinese-language cinema.

"Four major awards in eight years—such an achievement ranks among the top in the history of world cinema."

How old is Director Fu this year? In his early thirties? How many more years can he keep making films? I don't dare to think about it.

"Fan Binbin's Best Actress award is also impressive. She watched the premiere of 'The Woman Who Left' in Venice. She played the role from youth to old age, and the transformation of her temperament cannot be achieved with makeup alone."

Well deserved.

New banners have been hung up on the Beijing Film Academy campus.

Two banners were hung side by side in the most conspicuous position at the school gate.

First item: "Warmest congratulations to our outstanding alumnus Fu Yibai for winning the Golden Lion Award for Best Film at the 68th Venice Film Festival!"

Article 2: "Warmest congratulations to our distinguished alumnus Fu Yibai for becoming the third director in world film history to win the highest awards at all three major European film festivals!"

Although the Central Academy of Drama next door was envious, they also posted a congratulatory message on their official Weibo account: "Warmest congratulations to Chinese filmmakers Fu Yibai and Fan Binbin for their continued success!"

Chenxi Media's official Weibo account released a formal announcement at 3:10 AM.

In addition to the award information, the domestic release date of "The Woman Who Left" was also added after the award information.

"The film will be released in theaters nationwide on September 30th. Stay tuned."

The top comments section was once again dominated by artists under Chenxi Entertainment.

Yang Rong leaned against the large bed, holding Zhao Ning, who had just finished breastfeeding, in her arms.

The television was rebroadcasting CCTV's news channel report on the Venice Film Festival, with the image of Fu Yibai holding the Golden Lion and standing on the podium filling the entire screen.

Zhao Ning had fallen asleep after finishing her milk, her little mouth slightly pouting, and the fingers still gripping her collar hadn't let go.

Yang Rong looked down at her daughter, then looked up at Fu Yibai on the TV screen.

She reached out and gently brushed Zhao Ning's little nose.

"Your dad won another award."

Liu Yan pushed open the door from the next room, carrying Jing Chen, whose diaper had just been changed.

The little guy was unusually quiet today, looking around with his big, dark eyes wide open.

Liu Yan sat down beside Yang Rong's bed, placed Jing Chen on her lap, and glanced at the television.

When is he coming back?

"What's wrong, missing him?"

Yang Rong made a joke.

"Didn't you think about it?"

Liu Yan did not refute, but instead asked Yang Rong a question.

"I've been thinking about him ever since he left."

Villa in Beijing, the capital city.

Li Dabai sat cross-legged on the living room sofa with a laptop on his lap and the Weibo trending topics list on the screen.

Of the top ten trending topics, Fu Yibai and Fan Binbin occupied six spots. She grinned as she scrolled down.

Qin Lan came downstairs, carrying two glasses of freshly made lemon water.

She walked behind the sofa, placed one of the cups on the coffee table in front of Li Dabai, and then bent down to glance at the screen.

Still checking the trending topics?

"No, I was wondering when Yi Bai will come back."

I miss him a little.

Meanwhile, at the headquarters of Huayi Brothers, in Wang Zhongjun's office.

Wang Zhongjun sat behind his desk, with the Weibo trending topics list displayed on his computer screen.

He stared at the topic "Fu Yibai has collected all three major European items" for a full two minutes, then took off his glasses, wiped the lenses with the corner of his clothes, and put them back on.

Wang Zhonglei was sitting across from me at the desk.

Wang Zhonglei held a cup of coffee that had gone cold, his expression more complex than Wang Zhongjun's.
