China Entertainment: I have been a director since 05

Chapter 398 The winner is...

In fact, this year's Golden Globe Awards is the most embarrassing one, because before the Golden Globe Awards,
Although the nomination list still has suspense, it is no longer fascinating.

Some American professional film critics pointed out that the fundamental reason is that 2010 was the most sluggish year for the American film industry, which made it difficult for the Hollywood Foreign Press judges to make decisions.

In 2010, the American film industry hit rock bottom.

The number of moviegoers nationwide was only 1.29, the lowest in 14 years.

Many people are skeptical. It is hard to imagine whether the US box office can continue to reach the $3 billion mark in 2009 without the increasing number of IMAX and D screens.

These situations also made the final award ceremony mostly calm.

The first television awards to be announced are a soporific sight for film directors.

The biggest surprise came in the TV Drama Best Actress category. When the name was called out in the venue, Guan Ling heard thunderous cheers.

Although the works that are popular among American drama fans now are "Boardwalk Empire", "Glee", "The Big Bang Theory", etc.

And these movies will basically be the big winners of this year's Golden Globe Awards.

But in the end, "Sons of Anarchy" actress Katey Sagal defeated "The Good Wife"'s Julianna Margulies and "Crime Terminator" actress Kyra Sedgwick to win the Best Actress award, which was the first surprise for the Golden Globe Awards.

But that's all there is to it, and everything else is mostly straightforward.

As soon as the first film award was announced, the atmosphere suddenly became hot.

The various Internet platforms that were broadcasting live, the hosts of CCTV-6, and even the audience who were watching the live broadcast, all became interested and couldn’t help but be excited!
The first award was the Best Film Song Award. "The Chronicles of Narnia 3", which was released in mainland China, was nominated but ultimately failed to win it.

The movie that was won was Burlesque.

The second award is the Best Original Film Score, and the movie "Inception" was nominated for this award.

"The winner is Trent Reynolds for The Social Network..."

When the award presenter called out the name of "The Social Network", even Guan Ling's mood dimmed for a moment.
"Could it be that it's the same routine as before, and Inception will fail again?"

Guan Ling's mouth twitched. He felt that there was an invisible hand manipulating the cycle of history.

As far as the movie "Inception" is concerned, there is actually pressure for Best Picture, Best Director, and even Best Screenplay.

The only chance it has is for the Best Original Film Score, after all, it was composed by Hans Zimmer himself. He has won the award more than once, so he is a regular.

But I didn't expect that the Golden Globe judges would give it to "The Social Network" again.
Guan Ling had seen this movie before.

In fact, in terms of the main line structure, this film uses non-linear narrative, smooth camera movements, and fast cross-editing techniques.

It is not much different from "Inception" and "Father".
Although there are strong personal touches of David Fincher in it, Guan Ling believes that it can't be called a "masterpiece" at all, it can only be said to be a good film.
For entrepreneurs, this movie is a must-see.

But this movie also has its merits.
Its fast pace, dense narrative content, and machine-gun-style dialogue are truly unforgettable.

Perhaps it is appropriate to describe it as a violent storm.

However, this movie has popular geek language, fashionable background music, and excellent photography and narrative skills, so it is understandable that it became a favorite of the Golden Globe judges.

"Pity."

Guan Ling patted Hans Zimmer's shoulder and said something comforting.

"It's okay, actually. I guessed it. Inception has never been a favorite to win an award from any angle."

There is nothing wrong with that.

But it was obvious that Guan Ling and Nolan were not in a good mood after listening to it.

Then it entered the award that Chinese people pay the most attention to, the Best Foreign Language Film.

Most people who knew the order held their breath at this moment.

"Director Guan, I want to ask you how you feel right now." In the middle of the award ceremony, Scarlett came to Guan Ling with a bright smile. She raised a wine glass and greeted Liu Yifei again, "Hi, Crystal, I've heard of your name for a long time, but this is the first time I've seen you. You're very beautiful."

"Thank you." Liu Yifei smiled without showing her teeth. The woman in front of her was also very beautiful and sexy.

This made her feel a little uneasy.

In fact, unlike the seriousness of the Oscars, the Golden Globe Awards ceremony has a more lively atmosphere of gathering together, and it is very common to see stars walking around.

"My mood..." Guan Ling said, "It was nothing, but you came over and asked me. I'm really angry now."

Scarlett was stunned. She originally thought that Director Guan was someone who could make a joke, but these few words really made her feel a little scared. She doubted whether it was a bit rash of her to come over and say hello on her own initiative.
But the next second, Guan Ling's invitation to her to sit down and wait for the result together made her feel a little better.

At this time, the entire Chinese entertainment industry was filled with tension.

……

"We can see that Robert Jr., the presenter of the first award that has attracted the most attention from our Chinese audiences at this year's Golden Globe Awards, is walking up to the stage.

The five films nominated for the Best Foreign Language Film Award are "A Mistake" from Mexico, "I Am Love" from Italy, "In a Better World" from Denmark, "The Concert" from France, and "The Father" from my country, directed and written by Guan Ling and starring You Benchang.

Among them, "The Father" achieved a total box office of more than 260 million in my country, and even promoted the development of my country's pension policy. It can be said to be a stepping stone that concerns the national economy and people's livelihood.

Now, can this stepping stone open the door to the Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film, thereby breaking the record of Chinese director Chen Kaige winning the award in 1994, which has been sealed for 17 years? Perhaps the answer lies in the envelope in Downey's hand."

The host's seriousness made the audience inside and outside the TV's hearts stop!
Many viewers were speechless upon hearing this.

Seventeen years?
It feels like a long time has passed since the release of "Farewell My Concubine", which won the Best Foreign Language Film award.

"It turns out that it has been seventeen years."

After hearing the host's remarks, Chen Kai, who was watching the TV program, couldn't help but be moved.

Chen Hong held his arm, her eyes sharp, as if she could see what he was thinking, and as if she wanted to pierce the envelope in the hand of the award presenter on the TV screen.

"Brother Kai, do you think Guan Ling can get it?"

"You're just a kid, why are you still guessing?" Brother Chen Kai spoke frankly in front of his wife, "From a personal perspective, if he doesn't win the award, I will still be the only one. But if he wins the award, it will be a good thing for Chinese films. So for me, I can accept any result."

Brother Chen Kai did not say empty words that he hoped he would win. In his heart, he even had a glimmer of hope that he would not win. This way, he, Brother Chen Kai, would at least have a record that could be maintained for a little longer.

Guan Ling has won too many awards now, and he is a rising star.

Brother Chen Kai certainly knew that his record might not be able to stop Guan Ling, but he hoped that this record could be maintained for a little longer...

……

"Believe it or not, if Director Guan wins the Best Foreign Language Award, Weibo will be paralyzed tomorrow."

Zeng Jia looked at Yang Mi who was staring at the screen intently and said,

Yang Mi let it go in one ear and out the other, and probably only heard the word Guan Ling. "If you have anything to say, wait until the award presenter finishes speaking before you talk."

Yang Mi signaled Zeng Jia not to make any sound for the time being.

Zeng Jia almost couldn't breathe.

……

Nortel.

Tian Zhuangzhuang and others were sitting in the office, and many teachers gathered behind him.

"Do you think we can have one more ball in the Beida Hall of Fame?"

Huang Lei, a teacher from the acting department, unexpectedly came to the scene at this moment. After his sudden voice was heard, no one responded.

Huang Lei looked over and saw a hint of desire in everyone's eyes.

……

At this moment, most of China's audiences who care about the entertainment industry are probably waiting for Downey to call out that name.

But he deliberately prolonged the tone.

"The film that won the Best Foreign Language Film Award at the 68th Golden Globe Awards is...

A film that moved countless people..."

The audience in front of the TV closed their eyes nervously when they heard the word "moved".

Some even cursed directly because the award presenter did it on purpose.

Which of these five movies is not moving?
This trait is no different from not saying it!
"Can you please shout faster! People like you would have to cut hundreds of pieces to poop!"

"Oh my god, the sentence above has left no comments on Weibo."

"For the sake of ratings, the Golden Globe Awards officials are simply going all out."

Netizens' comments are also their deepest expectations for whether or not to win the award.
In fact, as the award presenter, Downey was also very clear that although there were few films in this year's Golden Globe Awards, the quality was not low, and the Best Foreign Language Film award was one of the few remaining awards with some suspense.

He still has to complete the tasks assigned to him by the authorities.

After the nominated shots of the five films flashed by.

Donnie finally finished shouting those last few words.

"Let us congratulate Guan, You and their film 'The Father'!"

As Donnie's voice fell,
With a bang, warm applause broke out in the venue.

The Chinese Internet platforms also became excited.

"Another Best Foreign Language Film award. Director Guan has been really going crazy over the past two years!"

"It's just the Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film. If Director Guan wins the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film with this, I don't even dare to think about it..."

"Don't tell me, this is very likely to happen. The Golden Globe Best Foreign Language Film and the Oscar have basically been the same. Unless the director didn't submit his film to the Golden Globe like he did last year, it will be possible for him to make a comeback."

"Guan Ling is awesome!"

"Director Guan, congratulations!"

You Benchang stood up suddenly. He was the most excited. Although he knew that the Best Foreign Language Film award might make it impossible for him to win the Best Actor award, he was still happy for Guan Ling and for the movie from the bottom of his heart!
When he received this award, he felt like a heavy burden had been lifted from his heart!
“Congratulations, Director Guan!”

Scarlett also smiled, her white teeth and red lips made her look sexy and charming, which made people feel hard and gave people an elegant dance style.

Nolan gave Guan Ling a high five.
"I didn't expect you to come out on top. But you definitely deserve it. I'm afraid no one who has seen the movie 'The Father' will not be moved by it."

"You, it seems like you will be like me. The Best Actor nomination will eventually become a symbol. I was nominated for the Golden Globe Awards four times before I won my first Best Actor award. Now I have accumulated three more Golden Globe Best Actor nominations. I guess I will have a chance to win the award again next time."

Guan Ling heard what Leo said before he went on stage and couldn't help but look at him.

What's going on? Does this mean you need to get four nominations to win one award?
Behind him, Leo's eyes speak volumes as he looks at You Benchang. If you look closely, you can see regret and a bit of gloating in them.

"It doesn't matter. I am really happy to see the movie win a mainstream award. As for my personal awards, they are not brought with me when I am born and cannot be taken with me when I die. It doesn't matter whether I have them or not."

Leo was left speechless by You Benchang's indifference.

Loose, this is too loose, I can’t fix it directly!

On stage, after Guan Ling and Tang Ni hugged,

I took the heavy trophy from his hands.

"I am very happy that I can receive such an important award at my first Golden Globe Awards ceremony."

He held the trophy high.

Not to mention, it’s quite heavy.

The looks that the people below gave Guan Ling had different meanings.

You Benchang felt relieved. Excitement and relief seemed to have freed him together. Before Guan Ling could do anything, tears already appeared in the corners of his eyes.

Liu Yifei's happiness was almost overflowing from her face that looked like a flower.

Little Leo looked at Guan Ling, who had a calm expression and seemed unperturbed by anything, and an idea came to his mind.

“The Father is a Chinese film, but the story it tells is not just about China.

Whether in the United States or in other countries around the world, the number of Alzheimer's patients is increasing, and I believe that this movie will allow everyone to have a deeper understanding of them and understand how their world works.

The suspense in this movie is just a means, but behind it, the delicate acting of Mr. You Benchang supports the movie's evil and love, grace and kindness, struggle and mud, and more universal values.

Please allow me to say something shamelessly grateful for receiving this award today.

Chinese films deserve to be on this stage, not just Farewell My Concubine, but now there will be another classic! "

Guan Ling's acceptance speech was not modest at all, but it caused a huge uproar at the scene.

Even Susanna, the director of "A Better World", couldn't help but applaud. Compared with her story,
Guan Ling's film is indeed much stronger than hers in terms of scale and coverage.

There was constant applause throughout the hotel!

Only the image of Guan Ling holding up the Golden Globe was captured by domestic media as the most classic moment after the start of this year's Golden Globe Awards ceremony.
