China Entertainment started in 2004

"It's easy to say, but who doesn't want to win more awards?" Nicole Kidman replied softly.

If it were someone else, she would certainly not respond like this.

However, Wang Shu was a talented director, and she said this on purpose for Wang Shu to hear, indicating that she wanted to win the award.

This is also telling Wang Shu that if there are any projects in the future, he can invite her to perform.

"That's true." Wang Shu was of course aware of the subtext of the other party's words, but he pretended not to understand.

Nicole Kidman continued to praise him, "The Golden Globe Awards have always been a bellwether for the Oscars. Shu, you won all six nominations this time. You will definitely be the biggest winner again at the Oscars next month."

After a pause, he blinked at Wang Shu and said, "I don't know if Emma will be able to win the award..."

Although the Oscar nominations have not yet been announced, Stone has already won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor.

Based on this point, it can be concluded that Stone will definitely be nominated for an Oscar.

The same goes for Wang Shu.

Wang Shu has been nominated for the Golden Globe Awards six times and won all six. Anyone with a brain can guess that Wang Shu will definitely be nominated for an Oscar.

"It all depends on what the academy thinks." Wang Shu laughed, "But Emma is still young. Even if she doesn't win an Oscar, she will have many opportunities in the future."

"What? Do you mean... will you still support Emma in the future?" Nicole Kidman joked with a smile.

Wang Shu smiled and replied: "If there is a role suitable for her, I will certainly invite her to play it."

“When I make movies, I always look for actors based on the characters in the script.”

“This time, Emma is also very suitable for the heroine of La La Land.”

Nicole Kidman nodded, as if she believed it, and said with a smile: "So...is there a role suitable for me?"

"Not at the moment." Wang Shu replied.

Nicole Kidman was not disappointed when she heard this. Instead, she stretched out her fingers and touched Wang Shu's chest, bit her lip, and asked seductively, "Really?"

"Uh..." Wang Shu opened his mouth and said, "Not at the moment, but... maybe in the future."

Nicole Kidman heard this, with a bright smile on her pretty face, and said slowly: "Tonight... you must be very busy..."

After that, he looked at me with a sparkling look in his eyes and said, "I haven't been to your apartment as a guest yet. If you are not busy in the future, don't forget to contact me to visit your apartment as a guest."

Nicole Kidman, an Oscar-winning actress who has starred in various romantic films, is good at using her eyes to flirt.

As long as his body is not exhausted, most young men full of vigor and vitality will be immediately erected after being electrified by her.

…………

As Nicole Kidman said, Wang Shu is busy tonight.

Stone won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress and was very happy. She really wanted to express her gratitude to him.

So…after the dinner, Stone came to his apartment.

Tonight, Stone Sister was very proactive and asked to discuss various tricks.

Simply put, do whatever it takes to please Wang Shu.

"Shu, do you think I have a chance to win an Oscar?" Stone asked, nestling in Wang Shu's arms.

Although the nominations for the Academy Awards have not yet been announced, but... I still say that as the best actress of the Golden Globe Awards, it is impossible not to be nominated for the Academy Awards.

Therefore, Stone knew that she would definitely be nominated.

However, whether or not you can win the award is not certain.

Wang Shu looked under the bed and saw a stain on the floor. It was what Sister Shi Tou vomited out because there was a foreign object in her throat.

Both of them were a little tired at this moment and had not had time to clean up.

"Of course." Wang Shu responded without comment when he heard this.

"You won the Golden Globe. Of the five nominated actresses, you definitely have the best chance."

That's generally true, but the Oscars are not the Golden Globes after all.

"Ah~" Sister Shitou also knew this, but she was still quite nervous and said, "I know this too."

"But there are also many times when you win a Golden Globe but not an Oscar."

“So it’s useless to think so much now. Whether you can win the award or not, we’ll have to wait and see.” Wang Shu continued.

"Ah~" Stone sighed, and then said, "I am very satisfied with winning the Golden Globe today. It doesn't matter if I don't win the Oscar later."

Wang Shu did not respond. He knew very well that Stone was only saying this, but she really wanted to win an Oscar.

After all, compared with the Oscars, the Golden Globe Awards are not good enough.

…………

In China, as Wang Shu became the biggest winner at the American Television and Film Golden Globe Awards, the Literary Newspaper published an article at the first opportunity.

Title: "La La Land: Why can this clichéd dream-chasing story sweep the film awards?"

Content: "The 68th Golden Globe Awards ceremony ended last night in the United States. As expected, La La Land swept six awards, including Best Musical and Comedy Film, Best Director, Best Actor and Actress, Best Screenplay, and Best Original Song, becoming the undisputed winner of the Golden Globe Awards that night."

"It is not only the darling of award ceremonies, but also seems to have made film critics lose their minds - romantic, perfect, exciting, irresistible, a masterpiece, and some media even called it the best film of 2011." "All this praise and halo makes people wonder, what kind of film is La La Land?"

"The best way to understand this film is to first understand its English title, La La Land."

"For this name, the Merriam-Webster dictionary gives the following definition: 'a euphoric dreamlike mental state detached from the harsher realities of life', which means a state of mind that is blissful, dreamlike, and detached from the harsh realities of life. In addition, La La Land also refers to the unrealistic and desperate atmosphere of pursuing dreams that is unique to Los Angeles and Hollywood."

“This name is a perfect summary of the film’s content: the male and female protagonists leave their past lives and go to Hollywood to pursue their dreams. The female protagonist Mia, played by Emma Stone, wants to be an actress. After dropping out of school and coming to Los Angeles, she can only work part-time in a coffee shop and fails in auditions. The male protagonist Sebastian, played by Ryan Gosling, is a pianist obsessed with jazz and dreams of opening a jazz bar. However, in real life, he was even kicked out of a restaurant for playing Christmas carols.”

"When they met by chance, both of them were at the bottom of their artistic dreams, but they were attracted to each other because of art and appreciated each other."

"Encouraged by her boyfriend, Mia quits her job at the coffee shop and picks up her writing pen again to create the script for her One Woman Show. However, in order to realize his jazz dream, Sebastian has to join a modern jazz band that he once despised, and unexpectedly achieves huge commercial success."

"They fell in love with a seemingly distant dream, but they had differences on the road to pursuing their dreams. Mia stayed in La La Land to pursue her pure dream of performing, while Sebastian betrayed his original intention and toured the country performing music he didn't like."

“Dreams and love are organically intertwined, and dreams also bring an inevitable end to love.”

"They meet, they test, they fall in love, they doubt, they quarrel, they separate, they become a better 'me' but cannot become a better 'us'. The old routine of love story is vividly performed in La La Land."

"This 'cliché' is one of the reasons why this film has been criticized. As a love movie fan, I have to admit that the plot of this film is indeed not worth scrutinizing and thinking about. The portrayal of the emotional foundation between the hero and heroine is also a little pale, and it even romanticizes the true face of the city of Los Angeles."

"But I feel that its shallowness is precisely its profound meaning, and its rose-colored filter is precisely its mundane quality. Because of its beauty, it is destined not to be loved by everyone."

"Why do I say that?"

"Because in my opinion, the measure of a film's success should not be whether it is perfect, but whether it achieves its original intention."

"I think everyone is familiar with the director of this film, Wang Shu."

"This movie seems to be a story about young people in Los Angeles chasing their dreams, but isn't it Wang Shu's experience of chasing his dreams in Beijing that was incorporated into the movie?"

“That’s what gives this movie its soul.”

“Rather than saying that Hollywood made Wang Shu, it’s better to say that Wang Shu brought Hollywood back to its old dreams.”

"Wang Shu has worked his way up from being an extra, and he is still working hard to move up, without stopping."

"Others are slow and take several years to make a movie."

"He is either working or on his way to work. In just a few years, he has provided us with many excellent films."

“He loved music and he loved movies.”

"In La La Land, Wang Shu has brought the art of film as an audio-visual language to its fullest, and through the medium of film art, he has completed a tribute and eulogy to the golden age of musicals. This modern and contemporary musical is dotted with nostalgic fragments of the glorious past of musicals."

"The opening dance on the highway reminded people of Alan Peck's musical Fame; after a failed audition, Emma Stone's street dance with her three sweet roommates seemed to echo the famous Broadway director Bob Fosse's Missed Sweetness; the highlight of the hero and heroine falling in love, the mountaintop duet overlooking the night view of Los Angeles, the dance moves paid tribute to the classic musical Singin' in the Rain, and the scene description reminded people of the scene of the hero and heroine dancing in Central Park in The Caravan; and as for the weightless romantic waltz where they danced with the stars in the Griffith Observatory, it seemed to be copying the 1936 musical Swing Time, and it also seemed to be paying tribute to Disney's classic animation Sleeping Beauty."

“This romantic remembrance of the heyday of Hollywood musicals is not only reflected in the film’s song and dance segments, but also in every corner of the set and filming techniques. The Casablanca poster in the heroine’s room and Rebel Without a Cause shown in the theater even abandoned the modern 2.40:1 filming method and adopted the 1950:2.55 Cinema Scope that was popular in the widescreen era of the 1s.”

“It can be said that this is an extremely detailed and romantic nostalgia, which is not profound, but fascinating and crazy.”

"I personally suspect that the reason La La Land is so nostalgic is probably because Wang Shu was first exposed to American musicals of the previous era, just like young people in China are exposed to a lot of Hong Kong films from the 80s and 90s."

…………

"And such youthful stories are played out day and night in Los Angeles. The road to dreams is not smooth, and being able to walk hand in hand for a while is a blessing."

"Just like the theme song "City of Stars" throughout the film sings, 'City of stars, are you shinning just for me? City of stars, there is so much that I can't see.' Every dreamer who has wandered in a foreign land has had such a sense of loss, seeing the starlight but doubting whether the starlight belongs to him."

“Rather than criticizing its romanticism and bland plot, it is better to regard La La Land as a two-hour dream, a work of art that makes people grateful for the invention of film technology. This is a movie suitable for watching when you are disappointed with the world. After watching it, you will gain rational and moderate hope, and this hope is enough for young people to explore the world.”

"La La Land has officially announced that it will be released in China on February 2, Valentine's Day. Everyone who longs for love, longs for love, or is tired of love should go and watch it - to see a couple get together, to see a couple part, to see how love silently waits at the corner of life, to see how love becomes a thing of the past in a moving way, to see the fragility and longevity of love."

…………

That’s right, “La La Land” has been scheduled to be released in China and will be released on Valentine’s Day, February 2.

"Danchen, the Spring Festival is coming soon. Will your family urge you to get married?" Xu Huanhuan asked when they had a small gathering together with Yan Danchen.

"What? Are your family urging you to pay?" Yan Danchen did not answer but asked back.

Xu Huanhuan nodded.

Seeing this, Yan Danchen sighed and said, "I will definitely urge him, but it's useless to urge him if he hasn't found someone he likes."

Xu Huanhuan knew very well that Yan Danchen had always had feelings for Wang Shu.

However, as time went by, the gap in their identities and status became increasingly larger, and there was also an age gap.

Therefore, Yan Danchen became increasingly afraid to express his feelings to Wang Shu.

Sighing, "Yeah, if you haven't found someone you like, you can't just marry someone casually, right?"

Yan Danchen nodded in agreement.

The two chatted about this topic for a while, and Xu Huanhuan suddenly said, "Did you know that the American Television and Film Golden Globe Awards were held last night?"

"I know. Director Wang won all six nominations, becoming the biggest winner at last night's Golden Globe Awards ceremony!" Yan Danchen continued.

As soon as Xu Huanhuan heard this, he knew that Yan Danchen had always been paying attention to Wang Shu, otherwise Yan Danchen would not have known all about it since the American Television and Film Golden Globe Awards had just been presented last night.

After all, the Golden Globe Awards is an American film award, which has nothing to do with China. Unless it rises to the level of Gong Li, it is not even remotely related.

Generally speaking, it is impossible to pay attention to it. (End of this chapter)
