Chapter 56: Song Tang

  As the Silver Lion award for Best Film at the 19th Venice International Film Festival was announced, the entire Sala Grande theater finally welcomed its most exciting moment. Now, the entire Sala Grande theater is quiet, with no one speaking, and everyone's eyes are focused on Nikita on the podium.

  "I'm truly delighted, in this Sala Grande theatre, everyone's eyes are on me, I remember such an honor was a year ago, haha, it makes me feel proud and honored, but the only regret is that tonight's protagonist will no longer be me, oh God, I really hope this Golden Lion trophy will always belong to me." Chairman Nikita said emotionally, stroking the glittering Golden Lion trophy on the chairman's desk.

  "Haha!"

  "Greedy Russian!" As the crowd was deeply moved by Nikita's words and burst into laughter, Song Tang couldn't help but scold Nikita in his heart. Song Tang had never had a good impression of Russians who had brought deep harm to China throughout history, believing that every patriotic person would feel the same way, except for beautiful Russian women, of course.

  But the next moment, Song Tang was filled with goodwill towards Nikita on the podium!

  "Tonight, let's all witness a miracle together. To be honest, I'm a little envious of tonight's Golden Lion Award winner. No, it should be that we're all envious of him!"

  "The winner of the Best Film Golden Lion Award at the 49th Venice International Film Festival is..."

  "Vulgarity!" "Tang Song!" "Pa pa pa pa~~~"

  As the last suspense was lifted, the entire Saralang Theater fell into an unprecedented joy, with some people cheering, others disappointed, and some quarreling, but more people were cheering for Song Tang's acquisition of this award!

  "Oh! Hehe!" When Song Tang heard Nikita shout out his name from the podium, he couldn't help but want to tightly hug Nikita on the podium and give her two big kisses, of course, under the premise that Nikita was a beauty.

  "Oh my god, Tang, you're amazing, I love you to death!" At this moment, Jessica by Song Tang's side saw her boyfriend win the Golden Lion Award for Best Film, and her nervous heart was filled with joy. Normally shy in front of people, Jessica couldn't help but tightly hug Song Tang and kiss his face, sharing the joy of winning together.

  "I love you too, sweetheart." As Song Tang also kissed Jessica's face, then similarly happy Angelina mutually used eco-friendly kisses with each other.

  "Song, I really can't help but feel a little jealous of you. Why do all the good things happen to you? Now I'm even wondering if you've caught the attention of the goddess of luck."

  "Haha, John, speaking ill of others doesn't suit you!" Song Tang said with a straight face upon seeing John's joking words.

  "You know I'm heartbroken tonight, but congratulations Song!"

  "Thank you, John!" Song Tang had just finished speaking when Yang Lihua, Zhang Yimou and several others also came to Song Tang's side to offer their congratulations.

  However, Song Tang did not linger for too long because there was a trophy of his own waiting to be collected on the podium, and he didn't want to leave it behind at the Saralaang Theatre.

  "Hey, Song, to be honest I'm a little jealous of you. Why do you have to be so young? You know, you've unintentionally broken the record for the youngest winner of this award! Congratulations, Song!" Nikita said with a jealous expression after presenting the Golden Lion Award for Best Film to Song Tang.

  "Thank you! Mr. Nikita." Song Tang took the trophy handed over by Nikita, with a smile on his face, and said happily to Nikita.

  "Hehe, Song, you're tonight's protagonist, any words of inspiration for everyone?"

  "Of course, I'm looking forward to it!" Song Tang said with a serious face.

  After Song Tang received Nikita's gesture to speak, he stood in front of the podium microphone. However, the atmosphere at the Sarangde Theater was not suitable for his speech at this time, so Song Tang made a pause gesture and waited until the theater atmosphere calmed down before starting his speech.

  "To be honest, I'm very happy! Extremely happy! Especially happy!"

  "Haha~~~" The crowd below heard Song Tang's continuous laughter of three happy sounds, and suddenly burst into laughter. The crowd really couldn't think that this young man with a smile on his face and elegant manners would have a funny side, and for a moment they couldn't help but laugh out loud!

  "Pfft! Jessica, I didn't know Tong had such a cute side." Sitting not far away in the audience, Angelina looked at Song Tong on the stage, who was full of energy and couldn't help but say to Jessica beside her.

  "Really! Angie, I couldn't have thought of it either! It seems that none of us really understand him yet!" Jessica said with a complex gaze at Song Tang on the podium after hearing Angelina's words.

  Song Tang saw the waves of applause and laughter erupting from under the podium, his tense mood was somewhat relieved. To be honest, although Song Tang wasn't experiencing this for the first time, these were all things from past lives, and in those past lives he hadn't faced crowds from all over the world. It had been a long time since Song Tang had experienced this, so for a moment he felt a bit unaccustomed to it.

  "To be honest, I'm a bit surprised to have won the Golden Lion tonight, because tonight, whether it's 'A Simple Story', or 'Ham Ham' and 'The Story of Qiu Ju', they're all excellent, every film had a chance to win the Golden Lion tonight!"

  "But tonight, this Golden Lion Award is given to 'Vulgaria', first of all I want to thank the jury for giving me this award, then I want to thank all the crew members of 'Vulgaria', without their hard work, I wouldn't have gotten this honor!"

  。。。。。。

  Song Tang's speech, though not long, was only a few minutes, but it made everyone in the audience feel as if the person standing on the podium was not just an eighteen-year-old youth, but a veteran who had been in society for a long time.

  "Song, tell us, what's your plan for the next half year? I think everyone wants to know what our genius young director has in store for us tonight. Is that right, everyone?"

  "Ah!" "Pa pa pa pa ~~" I don't know when, Nikita had already walked down from the podium and stood beside Song Tang as tonight's host.

  Song Tang looked at the host and the expectant eyes of the audience below, originally not wanting to say much about the company's next arrangements. However, he suddenly thought that this might be a good opportunity for publicity, so Song Tang began to say: "Hehe, this was originally a secret of the company, not convenient to tell everyone."

  Song Tang paused on purpose, but seeing some disappointed eyes in the audience, he not only felt satisfied with his words, but also kept a smile on his face and continued: "However, there are still some things that can be said to everyone."

  "I think, basically everyone here is from the entertainment industry, and you all know that Da Tang is currently promoting the movie 'The Shawshank Redemption'. However, I can clearly tell you that the post-production of 'The Shawshank Redemption' has been basically completed, and the film will be released in early September. It will definitely not disappoint everyone. Although I don't dare to guarantee that it will surpass 'Low Profile', but it will absolutely not be worse than 'The Shawshank Redemption'!"

  Regarding Song Tang's new film, some movie fans in the Sarah Lang Theater are looking forward to it, but for some producers or representatives of other film companies, they remain vigilant about Song Tang's film. Everyone knows that this small and unknown film company, Datang, has been promoting its new film extensively, even in Europe, with a large-scale promotional campaign.

  "And the company's Hollywood blockbuster, which was heavily invested in this year, has also been completed. I guarantee that it will break the existing box office record~~~"

  The crowd was still immersed in Song Tang's words and hadn't come back to their senses, when Song Tang dropped another bombshell. However, no matter how they thought about it, this moment couldn't help but make them surrender to the aura on the chairman's stage.

  The 49th Venice International Film Festival's award ceremony came to an end with the last prize being awarded, and in just one evening, the entire Sala Grande theatre was filled with cheers and laughter. Some people left with joy and some with disappointment, but without a doubt, the star of tonight will be Song Tang.

  It can be expected that with the Golden Lion Award, Song Tang's name will resound in more places, and as Song Tang's reputation grows, new films will be released, taking advantage of this east wind, and will also achieve better results!
