China Entertainment Anchor

"That weapon of yours also left a deep impression on me." Zhang Yang was talking about the evil scepter in "Avengers". It's really handsome! Really handsome!
"Oh." Dou Sen turned his head helplessly, and soon he regained his composure and started joking.

"I can suggest to Kevin that he bring the scepter to you."

"I am looking forward."

Dousin is talking about Kevin Feige. He is the president of Marvel. He has been in the position from 07 to now, and his position is very stable. Competing with Disney CEO Robert Iger.

Soon, Kevin Tsujihara and his beautiful female assistant also arrived. Zhang Yang saw that they were inseparable. Maybe they were not just acquaintances, but an all-pervasive friendship.

As soon as he arrived, a space around Zhang Yang was consciously vacated.

Kevin didn't come empty-handed. When he arrived, he took two glasses of wine from the waiter. He grabbed a wine glass in one hand and came to Zhang Yang.

Naturally, he handed a glass of wine to Zhang Yang. Zhang Yang took it with a smile and thanked him again.

At this time, Kevin pulled Zhang Yang towards the center of the venue. When he got there, he held Zhang Yang with one hand and raised the wine glass with the other. Then he raised Zhang Yang's arm and said loudly: "Everyone, let us prepare for the arrival of Director Zhang Yang. cheers!"

A group of people looked at the high-spirited Kevin in the middle of the venue and raised their glasses in shame.

Cheers×N
Zhang Yang naturally wanted to give Kevin face. After Kevin put down his arm, he took another glass of wine and said with a smile: "Everyone, I know many people want to hear my blessings."

"Oh." As soon as Zhang Yang said this, they started to boo.

"I wish everyone who attended today's party will achieve success in this year's Golden Globes and Oscars." After Zhang Yang finished speaking, he drank the wine in one gulp.

Except for some people who have collaborated with Warner a lot, those who came to the party today were all here to attend tomorrow’s Golden Globe Awards. When they heard Zhang Yang’s blessing, whether they believed it or not, they all shouted “Cheers!” again!

A lively party began, and the men and women chatted with each other, which was very pleasant.

At this time, Zhang Yang's bodyguard Xiao Zhao walked up to Zhang Yang and whispered: "Director Zhang, a waiter secretly took a photo of you and the president of Warner raising a glass of wine together."

Zhang Yang was holding a wine glass in his hand. When he heard Xiao Zhao's words, he twirled the glass: "Did the waiter take pictures of the others?"

"made a bid."

This is easy to understand. He is a person bribed by the media. They just want big news.

"Let him go!" Zhang Yang waved his hand nonchalantly.

Seeing that Zhang Yang didn't care, Xiao Zhao didn't worry about anything. The party ended after more than three hours.

The next day, there were a lot of reports about the party in the American media.

In particular, the photo of Zhang Yang and Kevin with their arms raised in the air made some Americans feel a little strange.

The signs of white supremacy in the United States have now emerged. Now two Asian faces stand at the center of a gathering of Americans, which makes many people in the West feel a little unhappy.

Also, Zhang Yang's blessings to others at the party aroused the curiosity of many people. They all wanted to see how many people who attended the party could win prizes.

Time turned and arrived at around 5pm the next day. After Zhang Yang, Zazie Beetz and Phoenix walked the simple red carpet together, they entered the awards hall. They came to sit down at the designated round table, and there was a lot of noise around them. Sounds like they don't care about the Golden Globe Award.

Zhang Yang looked at this very front seat and said to the Phoenix duo beside him: "After participating in the Golden Ball so many times, this is the first time I have sat in such a good seat."

The best foreign language film corner is really not in a good location.

"Director, as long as you make more movies in the United States, you will sit so close to the front every time." came a slightly hoarse voice.

Zhang Yang looked over and saw that it was Jin Qiu and Oscar's biological daughter, Aunt Mei!
"Thank you, I will consider it." Zhang Yang picked up the wine glass on the table and raised it to her.

"What's wrong with your throat?" Zhang Yang sounded a little hoarse when she spoke.

"It's just shouting too much, nothing serious." Aunt Mei waved her hand nonchalantly and domineeringly.

Looking at her expression, Zhang Yang knew there was a story in it, but he was not an American, so he didn't know much about such things.

Zhang Yang had just finished greeting Aunt Mei when another person came to sit at their table.

A big bald man, Jeff Bezos, he is the founder of Amazon.

"Hello, director." Jeff spoke to Zhang Yang politely.

"Hello, what are you doing?..." Zhang Yang was a little surprised to see him. What are you, an e-commerce person, doing here?

"Director, you may not know that Amazon has been producing TV series since 13.

It even started making movies the year before last, and the American IMDb is also an industry under its umbrella. This year, Amazon was nominated for a total of 11 Golden Globe Awards. "Mark Damon explained for Jeff. The movie "Manchester by the Sea" he produced was invested by Amazon.

"Forgive me, for you, I only paid attention to Amazon's market value, which seems to be more than 3300 billion US dollars at present?" Zhang Yang picked up the wine glass, raised it to Bezos, and then took a sip.

Zhang Yang’s current apparent net worth is about the same as Bezos’s. All his investments add up to a net worth of more than 300 billion U.S. dollars. Bezos owns 12% of Amazon’s shares and is worth about 400 billion U.S. dollars.
But when Bezos and his wife divorced two years later, he had to give his wife 4% of the shares, and his vitality was suddenly severely damaged.

"It doesn't matter. If the director is interested, he can also invest in our Amazon." Bezos invited Zhang Yang. Their Amazon streaming media is currently competing with Netflix for the market and is very coveted by all professionals.

Not to mention that Zhang Yang is not only a professional, but also a rich man. If he really invests, Amazon's shares will rise a few points more tomorrow.

"I have no investment plans at the moment." Zhang Yang declined his invitation. Even though he knew that Amazon would be worth trillions of dollars in the future, it would be too boring to only earn three times.

After hearing Zhang Yang's words, Bezos shrugged regretfully. Soon the Golden Globe Awards began with the gag of Jimmy Fallon. He is also an American talk show host. The talk show "Jimmy Tonight Show" currently hosted is also very popular.

The first award is for Best Supporting Actor in a Movie, and the presenters are Ryan and Emma Stone, whom Zhang Yang met yesterday.

Emma Stone is the heroine of "La La Land". In the end, Aaron Taylor-Johnson had the last laugh.

More than an hour passed, and various awards were handed out in an orderly manner. Soon it was Best Screenplay for a Movie. Zhang Yang was also shortlisted for this award.

The award guests were Disley Jon and Diago Luna, two unknown figures in the country.

This year’s nominees for Best Screenplay are:
Damian Chazelle "La La Land", Tom Ford "Nocturnal Animals", Kenneth Lonergan "Manchester by the Sea", Zhang Yang "Joker" and Barry Jenkins "Moonlight".

After the five movie clips were played, Delis opened the envelope and said, "You know who will win the prize!"

There was a roar in the audience, and the director suddenly cut the camera to Zhang Yang. Zhang Yang glanced sideways at the camera without saying much.

Then they quickly cut to Damien.

The best movie screenwriters are roughly between these two people.

Finally Diego announced: "Damien Chazelle's La La Land."

This is actually his second nomination, but the first time he won. Zhang Yang's movie "Joker" was nominated out of four, but the first one failed.

Zhang Yang applauded as usual, as if he didn't take this award to heart at all.

Some time later, after Thor and Wonder Woman jointly awarded "Her" the Best Foreign Language Film, the award came to the Best Actor in a Limited Series/TV Movie.

This time it was a surprise, Dou Sen won the Best Actor. This is his first nomination and he will win directly. If he does not participate in the Golden Globe Awards in the future, then he will have a 100% winning rate.

This guy was probably too excited. After giving his normal thanks in the first half, he started to be narcissistic and savior-like in the second half. He actually told a short story about South Sudan, which made the guests present look confused.

Zhang Yang felt very strange. He asked Phoenix and Bezos: "Has he always been like this? Why didn't I notice it last night?"

"Maybe he was too excited." Phoenix looked at Zhang Yang uncertainly and said.

"Maybe." ×2 Bezos and Shaji responded uncertainly.

The corners of Zhang Yang's mouth curled up.

About half an hour later, Viola Davis walked onto the stage and was about to present the Lifetime Achievement Award.

A collection of Meryl Streep's films and TV shows from various periods was immediately played on the stage, causing the audience to scream in surprise.

Meryl is very famous in the United States. When she finally stepped onto the stage to accept the award, not only did the audience burst into warm applause, but everyone stood up under the leadership of someone who didn't know who.

Zhang Yang also stood up, mainly because everyone else was standing, so it was a bit strange that he didn't stand.

When Aunt Mei started to give her acceptance speech, Zhang Yang suddenly took a breath of air. Was she criticizing the American boss?
She named many foreigners and outsiders in Hollywood in one breath, and even Zhang Yang was mentioned by her.

Knowing the information of so many people, Aunt Mei must have done her homework in advance.

When she said calmly: "Without these outsiders and foreigners, you would have nothing to see." The audience burst into warm applause. After all, the United States is a country of immigrants.

This section is not the end of Aunt May's performance, but the beginning of her performance. Look at her next speech.

“There was a performance that shocked me and felt like an anchor was driven into my heart.

It's not that this performance is particularly good, it has nothing to do with the word "good".

It's because the performance is so effective that it satisfies its entire audience and makes them laugh.

This performer, sitting in one of the most revered seats in the country, impersonates a disabled reporter, someone far less privileged, less powerful, and less able to fight back than himself.

That scene broke my heart and I can’t get it out of my head because it wasn’t a movie, it was happening for real, right in front of our eyes.

This instinct to humiliate the weak is exercised at will by a person with power in public. Its destructive power is penetrating into the lives of each of us.

Because he is allowing everyone to do what he does, disrespect and violence breed like germs and become contagious.

When people in positions of power use their position to bully individuals at will, they bully all of us.

This reminds me of the media,

We need principled media that muster the strength to report every atrocity and drag every perpetrator before the public to receive the rebuke he deserves. That’s why our predecessors legislated to protect journalism.

So here I am asking the coldest of all, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, and everyone here to join me in supporting this committee to protect our journalists,

Because we need them to fight on the front line, and the facts and justice they strive for need us to maintain. "

Aunt Mei was on the verge of tears when she finished speaking. She returned to her seat with tears in her eyes, and was greeted by continuous applause.
