China Entertainment's Standout

Chapter 957: Black Robe Patrol, Winning the Golden Globe Awards

"Produced by Jiangdong Entertainment, directed by Wu Yuze, written by August Changan, and starring Zhang Ruolan, Ding Yuxi and others, the youth campus TV series "Unrequited Love in the South" was completed today. This drama is the last part of the campus trilogy of the famous screenwriter August Changan!"

"A contemporary TV series jointly produced by Jiangdong Entertainment, Noon Sunshine, and SMG Shangshi Pictures, directed by Kong Sheng, produced by Hou Hongliang, and starring Wang Kai, Zhao Liying, Yang Shuo, and Dong Zijian, started filming today at the Chedun Film and Television Base in Shanghai."

"The military action blockbuster "Operation Red Sea" jointly produced by Jiangdong Entertainment, Naval Political Department Television Art Center, Shanghai Film Group, and Wanda has set a new record for the investment scale of domestic military films. The first wave of trailers has been released!"

"."

Zhou Yutang was in Hollywood, and the entire Jiangdong Entertainment Dynasty was running smoothly, and the news never stopped.

In particular, the simultaneous launch of several projects of Jiangdong Entertainment was like a series of blockbuster bombs, causing a shock to the entire film and television industry.

Including the dominating Lunar New Year trio, the "Rocket Girls 101" talent show, and the Asia Fashion Awards, all are progressing in full swing.

"Shi Shi, look over here!"

"So beautiful Shishi!"

Liu Shishi appeared at the media conference of the crew of "The Story of Minglan" today, and was also very popular.

With her status as the number one sister in the entertainment industry, she has no rival except for Tianxian.

Liu Haocun and Wang Yuwen were also at the press conference, but they were sitting in the corners. Looking at Liu Shishi, who was sitting in the C position with a gentle smile and surrounded by the media, Wang Yuwen leaned close to Liu Haocun's ear and whispered, "Wow, Sister Yi is in such a good state!"

It is said that red energy nourishes people, and this is indeed true.

Today, Liu Shishi's skin is still glowing white.

Moreover, her temperament is between that of a young girl and a young woman, and she is at the peak of her charm.

"Yeah, it's really beautiful."

A hint of envy flashed across Liu Haocun's eyes, and he revealed his signature innocent smile.

The dozen or so media outlets present today all surrounded the biggest celebrities including Liu Shishi and Chen Xiao.

Basically no one pays attention to little Karami like them.

"Liu Shishi, the ratings of "Princess Agents" are firmly ranked first in the national network/52 cities dual network, and the online broadcast data of the two platforms is booming. What do you think?"

A reporter asked.

"Thanks to the fans' love, Princess Agents has been able to achieve the current number of views. This is not the first time Tangren and Jiangdong have collaborated. I hope the upcoming production of The Story of Minglan will also go smoothly."

Liu Shishi smiled and said, "I have said a lot of words to thank Mr. Zhou, so I won't say more. He has a good vision."

There was a burst of good-natured laughter at the scene.

Who doesn’t know that the Grand Commander of Jiangdong and the No. 1 sister of Tangren are the nation’s first love CP?
A reporter from the Beijing News asked: "Shi Shi, Mr. Zhou has received four Golden Globe nominations. What do you think of the upcoming Golden Globe Awards ceremony?"

"Don't Hollywood media call Mr. Zhou Mr. Miracle?"

Liu Shishi brushed the hair by her ears and pursed her lips in a gentle arc: "I hope he can continue to create miracles and make a splash at the Golden Globe Awards."

"Congratulations, Mister Miracle."

Anne Hathaway, with short hair, was giving Zhou Yutang her signature bright smile.

"Annie, it's too early to say that now."

Zhou Yutang, who was wearing a high-end suit, left Bob, who was just excitedly chatting about the promotion of "Fifty Shades Freed", aside, turned around and hugged the Hollywood princess in a white dress, and whispered in her ear: "Your pearl earrings match your dress very well."

"Thank you."

There is no woman who doesn't like to be complimented on her outfit, let alone to be affirmed by a man like Zhou Yutang.

In an instant, she was fixed with envious gazes from women in several directions, and the curve of Anne Hathaway's mouth became even bigger.

She enjoyed this feeling.

Tonight is the Golden Globe Awards, at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills.

Naturally, there are many big names and celebrities here.

People came forward one after another to greet the Grand Commander of Jiangdong.

Giants like this who have access to top resources are very popular, and we have to make some good connections with them.

"Leo, Natalie has so many people!"

"Fuck, is the Grand Admiral so popular in Hollywood?"

"The village upstairs doesn't have internet? Jiangdong International Pictures is going crazy in Hollywood."

"As for the aura, my husband has it nailed."

"."

After walking the red carpet, the award ceremony officially began, which was around nine o'clock in the morning in China.

It happened to be Monday morning, and the live broadcast room opened by Douyin was full of people slacking off, and it was quite lively.

The Golden Globe Awards originated in 1944, and there was no awards ceremony at the beginning.

The general process is that the person in charge holds a press conference and announces the list of winners.

Later, as the status of the Oscars became more established, the Golden Globe Awards also began to hold awards ceremonies.

However, compared to the tradition and grandeur of the Oscars, the Golden Globe Awards are less formal.

The former holds the awards ceremony in a theater, while the latter chooses a hotel as the venue.

The same goes for tonight.

The Beverly Hilton Hotel's largest international ballroom.

Several rows of round tables have already been arranged. After the awards ceremony, people can enjoy delicious food while chatting in whispers.

Tonight's host is talk show celebrity Seth Meyers.

This person is experienced and good at livening up the atmosphere, but compared to Seth Meyers, Meryl Streep is more explosive.

When she received the Lifetime Achievement Award, she gave an impassioned speech criticizing Trump, which caused an uproar at the scene.

"As expected of Hollywood, the version leads the world"

Zhou Yutang knew exactly where in California it was. He supported his chin with one hand, his face showing no expression.

He had already heard the news before this year's Golden Globe Awards ceremony.

It was because of the chain reaction caused by the downfall of that fat guy Harvey that the feminist movement was launched in Hollywood.

In support of women's rights, many guests at today's Golden Globe Awards wore black dresses and Time's Up campaign pins.

While they were doing their own thing, Zhou Yutang continued to chat with Bob about the promotion of "Fifty Shades Freed" and a TV series project about an anti-superhero.

"Zhou, I really don't know what's wrong with your brain."

Looking at his relaxed partner, Old Bob was no longer surprised by his wild ideas. He whispered, "But then again, aren't you a contracted director of Warner? How dare you make fun of DC superheroes?"

What do you mean by "my motherland"? Isn't this a blackened version of Superman?
“No no no.”

Zhou Yutang raised his index finger and shook it gently: "There is an old Chinese saying that things will turn into the opposite when they reach the extreme. When superhero movies are popular, the market opportunity for anti-superheroism will also come."

The sky-high contract he signed with Warner included not only the contracts for "Joker" and "Aquaman", but also cooperation on other copyrights.

In order to curry favor with the big shot, Warner has made great concessions. "The Boys" will be released on Bilibili's overseas platform.

"Whatever."

Old Bob shrugged and said, "When do you plan to do it? If there's anything I can do to help, just let me know." While the two were talking, Zhou Yutang's old friend Nicole Kidman won the Best Actress in a TV Series for her role in Big Little Lies.

There was a burst of cheers and applause at the scene.

Nicole is still quite famous in Hollywood.

Old A8 was used to big occasions, but he was still very happy to receive the award. Zhou Yutang glanced at her ex-husband who seemed a little unnatural, applauded with some amusement, and tilted his head slightly and said,
“When will Marvel’s Avengers 3 be released?”

"It looks like it will be in the first half of next year."

"Then we can prepare to launch the project."

Zhou Yutang clapped his hands and chuckled, "I've read the script for Season 1, there's nothing wrong with it."

"Ok, let me arrange it."

Old Bob didn't even ask any more questions. He immediately nodded with a smile on his face: "Zhou, if the two of us join forces, no one in Hollywood can stop us!"

Hesitation for even a second longer would be disrespectful to the deity next to you.

Historical experience has proven that when you are wearing thigh bands, you must not have too many spontaneous ideas.

"Who is this Lao Deng? Why is he always talking to the Grand Commander?"

"That's the CEO of New Line, a big shot in Hollywood, and Governor Zhou's partner there."

"Why do I feel like he is the lackey of the Grand Commander?"

The camera followed Zhou Yutang's position throughout the whole process. Poor old Bob didn't know that his true face was exposed to the Chinese netizens without reservation.

But even if he knew, he probably wouldn't care.

After decades of ups and downs in this world of fame and fortune, face and reputation are not as important as the fragrant US dollars.

Once you take a shortcut and feel the money-making feeling, you will never be able to refuse it.

After the major TV awards, it was soon the turn of the film awards.
"Best Foreign Language Film, Into the Dark!"

“Best Animated Feature Film: Coco!”

"."

As the awards were announced one by one, some people were excited and laughed and chatted with their friends, but naturally some people couldn't help feeling disappointed.

Hildy Guznadottir is one of them. She almost became obsessed with the soundtrack for "Joker", but ultimately lost to "The Shape of Water".

"Hildy, the Oscar still has a chance, but the Golden Globe doesn't mean anything."

"Thank you for comforting me, Director."

Hildi Guznadottir forced a smile.

Compared to the Oscars, the Golden Globe Awards are presented in the form of a dinner party, which lacks many entertaining programs.

But tonight's host Seth Meyers was able to control the situation well enough, and the atmosphere was so good that it never faltered.

The Best Screenplay award went to "Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri," and Sam Rockwell also won the Best Supporting Actor award, while Frances McDormand won the Best Actress in a Drama.

——Previously, public relations companies unanimously agreed that this is the most powerful opponent of "Joker" this year.

As it turns out, this is indeed the case. The most proud performer of the night is Martin McDonagh's "Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri".

Zhou Yutang graciously gave applause and teased Joaquin Phoenix next to him, "It's your turn soon, Phoenix boy."

His full name is Joaquin Phoenix, and Zhou Yutang gave him the nickname "Phoenix Boy".

When he came to China for a roadshow last time, he wrote the three Chinese characters "Fenghuangzai" in calligraphy, and all the Chinese netizens were stunned.

"Best Actor in a Drama Movie Winner: Joaquin Phoenix, Joker, congratulations!"

When his name was called out, all the crew members around him poked their heads out, each with a smile on their face.

Before this, Joaquin Phoenix had almost won all the major awards, but he was still excited at this moment. He stood up and hugged Zhou Yutang, Bob and others.

"I really want to thank Zhou very much. He is an incredible director and deserves all the praise. If he hadn't firmly chosen me, I don't think I would be standing here today."

Fenghuangzai's stage presence was very steady. He even showed some affection to his girlfriend before coming down happily holding the certificate and trophy.

The eyes of everyone at the scene couldn't help but fall on Zhou Yutang.

Anyone who is not a fool can sense his influence.

From "Dallas Buyers Club" to "Whiplash", winning an Oscar is as easy as taking candy from a baby.

Last year, it was this man who was behind the scenes in producing "La La Land," which won 7 out of 7 Golden Globe Awards, including seven awards for musical comedy, director, actor and actress, setting a record for the most wins for a single film at the Golden Globe Awards.

This year's "Joker" shattered a series of movie box office records and truly became a hit.

In fact, his attendance brought a lot of extra attention to the Golden Globe Awards.

Such a young, wealthy, handsome and romantic super-rich man is a hot topic in himself.

"Bob, you should make room. I think Mr. Zhou would rather talk to a beautiful woman than an old man like you."

The host Seth Meyers had some friendship with Bob, so he made a joke about it, which caused a burst of laughter at the scene.

He opened his cue card, looked surprised, and read out: "Winner of the Golden Globe Award for Best Director: Zhou Yu Tang, "Joker", congratulations!"

Zhou Yutang's calm face rarely revealed a trace of emotion.

I had spoken to the PR company before, and it didn’t guarantee anything like what I had gotten when I was nominated.

Because we have done enough work, even if we have done public relations with the judges so that they are biased, no one will give a positive answer.

These are the rules of the game in this circle.

After all, the final winner of the award is not decided by one judge. Most judges are independent individuals and will not reveal their results to each other.

So despite the best efforts, the final result of the simulation was not very ideal.

Probably because there are so many strong competitors in this session.

In terms of qualifications, Martin McDonagh and Guillermo del Toro are far better than Zhou Yutang.

I had already prepared to return empty-handed before coming here, but I didn't expect to hit the target on the first try. It was really a pleasant surprise.

“Wow, Zhou, you won a prize!”

Bob, the old man next to him, was even more excited than Zhou Yutang himself. He jumped up from his seat as if his butt was equipped with springs, and gave Zhou Yutang a hug with a big laugh.

After standing up and briefly celebrating with the people around him, Zhou Yutang slowly walked onto the stage amid the thunderous applause.

"Los Angeles is so beautiful at night. When we started making such a high-budget, dark-toned comic book adaptation movie that explores mental health issues, almost no one was optimistic about it. But filmmakers sometimes have to break the rules. I hope everyone can pay more attention to vulnerable groups. This is also the social significance of the movie. Everyone deserves to enjoy all the beauty of this world."

"Smelly little Zhou, you speak really well."

Liu Yifei, who is far away in Milan, is currently attending a fashion dinner.

All the big names around her were posing, but she was the only one with her phone live streaming, which looked very sneaky.

However, the corners of her mouth that were slightly pursed up drew a beautiful arc, and she was indescribably proud, "The second Chinese-language film director to win the Golden Globe Award!"

Liu Shishi, who took a day off to stay at home, was also watching the live broadcast.

Seeing Zhou Yutang holding up the trophy with high spirits, his bright eyes were full of affection,
"Next, there's the Oscars."
