Chapter 863: The Attack, the Golden Globe Award!

Mickey Rourke —

Chen Yu's gaze fell on the newly announced Golden Globe Award list.

If he remembers correctly, at the 66th Golden Globe Awards in 2009, Mickey Rourke won Best Actor for his role in The Wrestling.

He defeated Leonardo DiCaprio and Sean Penn in one fell swoop.

Yes, that's the guy.

Sean Penn was not invincible!
In comparison, this film, with its extremely low budget, grossed $4490 million at the box office, making it undoubtedly a great success.

After all, The Wrestling King was not released on a large scale worldwide, so its success is enough to prove its extremely high level.

but.

The box office performance is not the true testament to the strength of "The Wrestler".

Rather, it's the impact it had, and the legendary story of Mickey Rourke's return to the peak of his career.

It's worth noting that Mickey Rourke has an impressive resume.

In the early 1970s, as an amateur lightweight boxer, he had a record of 27 wins and 3 losses.

1986 years.

That marked the beginning of the peak of his career.

He starred in "Nine and a Half Weeks" and "Angel Heart," both of which received high praise, and he directly became a leading Hollywood actor on par with Tom Cruise and Sean Penn.

After several years of silence, The Wrestling King became the pinnacle of his career.

He won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor, the BAFTA Award for Best Actor, the Venice Film Festival Award for Best Actor, and an Academy Award nomination for Best Actor for this film.

In later generations.

He also starred in "Iron Man 2" and "The Expendables".

His strength is undoubtedly beyond question.

Being able to defeat Leonardo DiCaprio and Sean Penn in the same period means he has achieved a victory.

Therefore, Chen Yu didn't have much confidence in winning the Best Actor award.

The contestants who made it to the finals this time are all undeniably talented.

Chen Yu was not trying to boost the morale of others while diminishing his own.

Not to mention Leonardo DiCaprio and Sean Penn, as well as Mickey Rourke, who beat two other Best Actor winners in his previous life.

Chen Yu was powerless to help even with the remaining two.

Frank Langella, one of Broadway’s most respected and accomplished actors, has won four Tony Awards in his career.

As for Brad Pitt, "Kalifornia" earned him his first Best Actor award at the Venice Film Festival.

His portrayal of a mentally ill character in "12 Monkeys" earned him a Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor and his first Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor.

She has also starred in numerous popular works.

"The competition is too fierce."

After hearing Chen Yu's words, Liu Yifei couldn't help but look up.

She naturally knew what Chen Yu was referring to.

Since the Golden Globe nominations were announced, there has been a lot of discussion online.

There are many speculations about this.

The influence of "Bruce Lee" is undeniable, but experts see the details while laymen only see the spectacle.

This competition was not as easy as it seemed.

The Best Supporting Actor award is practically a done deal.

After all, Warner Bros.' public relations efforts were quite effective, and the Joker character was already deeply ingrained in people's minds.

The most threatening rival has been affected by Weinstein, so the Best Supporting Actor award is not something to worry about too much.

buzzing-

Just as the two were reviewing the nomination list, the phone rang at the opportune moment.

It is Li An.

Li An did not attend the Golden Rooster Awards this year, and coupled with the mishaps at the Golden Horse Awards ceremony, he must be in a terrible predicament right now.

"Brother Yu, have you seen the Golden Globe Award list?"

Just as Chen Yu had expected, Li An had come for the Golden Globe Award.

"Looked."

"Bruce Lee has been nominated for five awards this time."

In addition to Best Actor, there are also Best Foreign Language Film, Best Director, Best Screenplay, and Best Feature Film.

Li An responded.

It seemed like they were hesitating about how to continue the conversation.

Chen Yu, however, did not show any emotion.

The two tacitly avoided mentioning the Golden Rooster and Golden Horse awards.

"but--"

"Bruce Lee will probably miss out on the Best Actor award this time."

After hearing Chen Yu's words, Li An finally made a move.

They naturally understood the meaning of that statement.

Whether we can win an award depends on North America.

"This year's shortlisted lineup is indeed quite tough to beat."

However, it's not entirely hopeless. If public relations are handled well, perhaps we can put up a fight against them.

of course.

For now, they can only take it one step at a time.

Being nominated for Best Actor is already a remarkable achievement.

After all, very few people in the entire Chinese nation can receive this honor one after another.

"This year's Golden Globe Awards ceremony will be held on January 11th."

"After participating, I'll come back to celebrate the Chinese New Year."

It has to be said that the schedule was quite packed.

However, the Golden Globes will definitely make a point of organizing the first awards ceremony after the major strike.

Chen Yu thought about it.

Holding the awards ceremony two weeks before the Spring Festival is a much better scheduling choice than the year before last.

At least in terms of time, it won't have too much of an impact.

As a regular guest on the Spring Festival Gala, I will definitely be involved in the rehearsals.

"Then we'll set off on the 9th."

Chen Yu shrugged, offering no further objection.

Although I don't have much confidence in this anymore, the necessary formalities still need to be followed.

"Okay, see you at the airport then."

Li An didn't bother him too much, and besides, he didn't need to worry about Chen Yu in this regard.

Chen Yu probably knows the procedures of all the award ceremonies much better than he does.

After all, he has won a Grand Slam, and at such a young age he has already achieved honors that many people cannot obtain even with hard work.

The two hung up the phone.

Chen Yu didn't have much emotion towards Li An.

As a director from Taiwan, Lee An has never wavered in his stance.

only.

Even he probably couldn't intervene in this incident.

Chen Yu naturally couldn't hold any grudges because of this matter.

Furthermore.

This is not in his character.

buzzing-

Just then, the text message notification sounded again.

Chen Yu unlocked his phone casually, but also noticed the message sent by Jiang Wen.

"Wow, Brother Yu's status is different now."

"An Oscar is just around the corner!"

Every awards season, Jiang Wen is like a ghost, always by his side.

this year.

He did not submit any entries to the competition.

To be precise, Jiang Wen is now completely focused on "Let the Bullets Fly".

The script is currently being finalized, and I recently contacted Chen Yu specifically about this matter.

in the past.

"Let the Bullets Fly" was filmed and released in 2010, but judging from Jiang Wen's current enthusiasm, he seems to want to bring it forward.

"Master Jiang, you're mistaken. I still owe you my kindness."

The message was sent and received a reply very quickly.

This old guy clearly can't stay still for a moment.

Chen Yu and Jiang Wen exchanged a few teasing messages. Compared to some celebrities in the entertainment industry who are outwardly friendly but inwardly at odds, Jiang Wen's temperament was more to Chen Yu's liking.

And that is what comes with it.

The phone was constantly vibrating.

Recently, both "Black Coal, Thin Ice" and "Bruce Lee" have received nominations. After receiving confirmation, many in the entertainment industry sent their congratulations.

At this moment, everyone admired Chen Yu to the point of complete awe.

A double nomination for Best Actor at both the Golden Globe Awards and the Berlin Film Festival is already an insurmountable peak in the entertainment industry.

As for Chen Yu...

They fully embraced the attitude of "since we're here, let's make the best of it."

There are not too many expectations, but it's not that there's no confidence at all.

……

2009 1 Month 9 Day.

Chen Yu and Liu Yifei have already arrived in the VIP lounge of the first class, and are waiting for Li An and the other main cast members of "Bruce Lee" to arrive.

"Brother Yu!"

Li An's voice came from behind.

As the two looked up, Li An had already appeared at the entrance of the VIP room.

"You've been here quite a while?"

Chen Yu and Liu Yifei stood up, greeted Li An, and then shook their heads.

"I just came here not long ago."

When the group met, they naturally talked about work.

"Zou Sheng originally wanted to go along, but his daughter stopped him."

I suppose I'm too old to withstand any more hardship.

The group boarded the plane.

As Chen Yu embarked on this journey, he was filled with a myriad of emotions.

Although he wasn't very confident about winning the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor this time, being nominated was already a great honor compared to his previous life.

These past few years since my rebirth.

He had already won a grand prize that he would never have dared to dream of in his previous life.

"What are you thinking about?"

It was rare to see Chen Yu lost in thought. When Liu Yifei asked him a question, he shook his head.

To be precise, it was just a bit of a reflection.

He turned his head and looked over at Liu Yifei. The exchange of glances between the two looked quite warm.

at the same time.

Chen Yu noticed Li An on the other side.

Compared to the previous period, Li An's condition has been affected to some extent this time.

It's probably related to the recent Golden Horse Awards.

In Chen Yu's view, Li An is indeed more professional than most directors when it comes to filmmaking.

His talent is evident from his previous work, "Life of Pi".

only.

Compared to when handling major events, Li An was noticeably more reserved.

He is undoubtedly a world-renowned and outstanding filmmaker, and there is nothing wrong with his political stance.

He probably thinks about these things more than the average person.

Chen Yu gave up on thinking about this question.

After all, such trivial matters don't require too much brainpower. The decline of Jinma was inevitable, and no one could turn the tide.

What they need to do now is go to Hollywood and win their own glory.

As for the rest, there's no need to worry too much.

At 1 a.m. Los Angeles time on January 10, 2005, Chen Yu and his group finally arrived at their destination.

After a long and tiring journey, Liu Yifei was already in a daze after getting off the plane.

exhausted.

He had completely lost his energy and spirit.

"Hello! Chan."

A summoning voice came from behind them, and only after everyone looked over did they notice Nolan, who had already walked up to them.

Needless to say.

Nolan's appearance was naturally for Chen Yu.

This actor, who is a perfect fit for him, deserves any concessions he makes.

"OMG!"

"It's really great to see you again. Let's go for the Ballon d'Or next."

have to say.

Nolan was in a very high mood.

Especially recently, Chen Yu's intervention to bring down Weinstein has earned Nolan's admiration.

Putting everything else aside, he demonstrated an extraordinary level of control over everything.

There will be absolutely no mistakes.

“Ang lee”.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

Nolan greeted those he knew present. He and Li An admired each other, and although they hadn't had the opportunity to collaborate yet, their mutual respect and appreciation were invaluable.

Chen Yu, however, was not surprised at all.

In later generations, the two often spoke publicly about their feelings for each other.

Their relationship was more like that of two masters who appreciated each other.

"follow me."

"I have already prepared a hotel for you."

Li An did not go with them. They also had friends in Los Angeles. Besides, Nolan's primary contact was Chen Yu, so they naturally had to be sensible.

For this city I've visited countless times.

Chen Yu did not have the same enthusiasm he had when he first came.

As for Nolan—

On the contrary, I was in a good mood.

The three got into a Rolls-Royce. Nolan always showed the utmost sincerity when dealing with Chen Yu.

Furthermore.

The relationship between Chen Yu and the company is now more than just a collaboration.

In Warner's words, this is a complete cash cow.

Although Nolan doesn't like to objectify others in this way.

But Warner was right.

Chen Yu is now a hot commodity worldwide.

With his Best Actor award, box office success, and numerous scandals, he has become one of the most influential and powerful figures in Hollywood, perhaps even one of the most prominent.

As long as we can collaborate with him, we can easily guarantee success in terms of quality, popularity, and box office revenue.

"We've discussed the Best Supporting Actor award at this year's Golden Globes privately."

"Both Warner and I believe this award is rightfully yours."

That's right.

This is already a widely accepted fact.

Chen Yu's portrayal of the clown is beyond question, and winning an award is inevitable.

In addition, they recently brought down Weinstein.

Then Philip Seymour Hoffman, the director of "Doubt", is no longer a problem.

Chen Yu simply smiled and remained silent.

He already has his own answer to this question.

In comparison, he is now more focused on winning Best Actor this time.

Chen Yu did not respond.
