Huayu: As a child star, I just want to be famous

Chapter 386 Golden Globe Awards

In addition to TV dramas, the fields of film and popular literature also regard Chen Linfeng as the biggest surprise in the past decade.

The Sixth Princess’s “China Film Report” column did an inventory of domestic directors.

Although there is no ranking, looking at the order, he is the third after Zhang Yimou and Li An.

The introduction is, "He has a strong sensitivity to stories, which often touches people's hearts. Once he makes a film, it is bound to be a masterpiece. He is a representative figure among the directors of the new era.

His level has improved rapidly. Through just one work, his filming techniques have gradually matured and are on par with all the great directors."

This comment was criticized by many netizens.

"The work about learning transitions won the Golden Lion Award. Is there anyone who does transitions like this?"

"Channel 6 should be referring to "Wingless Bird", otherwise who would win the award right away without any preparation?"

"Wow, you're accumulating experience through animated shorts, and you've maxed out your level with the first feature film, right? Is your leveling up so fast?"

"That can't be helped. Look at how Xiao Chen writes novels and films TV series. Isn't that the same style? He is really not a human being."

"I've gotten used to it. Xiao Chen has always been like this."

"..."

This is even more true in the field of novels. As the only best-selling author whose books can be sold all over the world, his uniqueness does not need to be emphasized.

This is totally unique.

These inventories, summaries, and some media lists are not completely useless.

Affected by this, some official associations and organizations.

For example, the Writers Association, the Literary Association, as well as the Directors and Actors Associations are already preparing to give him an exceptional promotion.

It will be implemented in the next few years when new conferences are held.

This point was discussed between China Railway Corporation and Chen Linfeng when they spoke on the phone.

By then, the identity will be different again.

In addition to China, in the United States, Chen Linfeng frequently appears on shows and accepts interviews.

His fame has always been quite good, almost to the level of a popular star.

Time Magazine also mentioned Chen Linfeng when reviewing the past decade.

Of course, his greatest source of fame in foreign magazines is still the novels he wrote in the past.

Although the identity of a well-known writer is often not paid attention to, its importance becomes apparent when it is listed on the charts and evaluated.

Chen Linfeng’s appearance on various lists is largely due to the sales explosion of “Infinite World 3”.

This highlights another point - that the impact of a peak achievement far exceeds that of multiple lesser achievements.

In the eyes of many people, novels such as "Fate" and "The Book of Life and Death" have achieved good results and are somewhat famous in Europe and the United States.

After all, both are best-selling book series with over 10 million copies sold, but in terms of weight, they are far inferior to "Infinite World".

This can be seen from the tendency of Hollywood film and television adaptations.

Of course, "She" is an exception. This work has always been very popular because of its serious literary nature.

The evaluation is showing an upward trend year by year.

Outside of novels.

After all, the success of "Sherlock Holmes" is too recent, and its influence has not yet settled.

Many lists summarizing achievements do not even include statistically relevant content.

In addition, the identity of an Asian superstar can also add some points.

However, the Western world has never paid much attention to these areas, and their value is questionable.

Therefore, when compiling the list, Chen Linfeng is often ranked similar to Stephenie Meyer, the author of "Twilight".

And most of them are on the list as writers.

In the entertainment industry, there are too many European and American stars, and it is difficult for Chen Linfeng to stand out.

But despite this, he still became famous through various magazine reviews and summaries during the year-end period.

It also indirectly assisted "Sunset" in its Oscar-winning journey.

On January 1, at the US Critics' Choice Awards, "Sunset" won the Best Actress, Best Screenplay, and Best Foreign Language Film awards.

This award is one of the four major indicators of the Oscars, and its weight is higher than the previous union awards.

However, it is not very well-known in China.

What is more well-known in China is the Golden Globe Award.

In the past, Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige and Li An have been nominated for this award many times.

"Farewell My Concubine" and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" have also won the Best Foreign Language Film award.

Whenever a major domestic film competes for an Oscar, it is always mentioned in the reports.

Therefore, the Golden Globe Awards can be regarded as the American film award that Chinese people are most familiar with besides the Oscars.

There is always a lot of overlap between the Golden Globe Awards and the Oscars.

So it is true that it is a weather vane.

But in recent years, the situation has changed a bit.

The Golden Globe Awards began to pay more attention to stars and business, and had a preference for high-grossing movies, which was somewhat deviated from the Oscars.

The Golden Globe Awards ceremony is scheduled to be held on the afternoon of January 1th.

The Beverly Hills Hilton Hotel, Los Angeles.

Although it was not yet night, there was already a hint of intoxicating scent.

Reporters from all over the world have already been waiting on the red carpet area.

Every year’s Golden Globe Awards, apart from anything else, always has a good star lineup.

That's what the reporters came for.

And the stars who attended this year lived up to their expectations.

George Clooney in Up in the Air, Morgan Freeman in Invictus, Meryl Streep in Julie & Julia, Julia Roberts in Duplicity…

There were also guests who did not participate in the awards, including Leonardo DiCaprio, Nicolas Cage, Robert Downey Jr.

When these people appear, they always draw cheers from fans.

Of course, when Chen Linfeng and Liu Qianqian appeared together, they were no less impressive.

Many Asians in Emily Ken know them or are their fans. Many of them came today.

When Chen and Liu got off the car, they screamed and cheered, and the people around them also shouted, because they also knew the new star.

Isn't this Sherlock and his forensic doctor?

"Chen! Chen!"

"Sherlock, I love you!"

"Chen, forensic sister, look here!"

"..."

Chen Linfeng is no longer the unknown person he used to be.

This year, the gala will still be broadcast in more than 100 countries and regions.

China does not have the corresponding broadcasting rights, but the Sixth Princess specializes in reporting film and television news.

We are particularly concerned about Chen Linfeng's situation. Although we cannot enter, regular interviews and filming are still going on normally.

Now their reporters and photographers are among the crowd.

Seeing Chen Linfeng, a pure Chinese star, being welcomed by foreign fans in Hollywood, they couldn't help but feel a sense of pride.

These shots were also transmitted back to the country along with the signals and watched by viewers in thousands of households.

Even though they had heard about Chen Linfeng's current achievements, they still couldn't help but be surprised that there were Chinese people who were so popular abroad.

Although the country's national strength is gradually catching up, its mentality has undoubtedly not caught up.

To a certain extent, Chen Linfeng's various actions abroad are gradually becoming the basis for them to break away from their previous mentality.

"Oh, look who this is," In the interview area at the end of the red carpet, many stars were being interviewed by media reporters.

The crew is often divided into small teams, with the photographer carrying the camera, the sound engineer holding the microphone boom, and NBC's on-site reporter Chris walking over with a small microphone.

"Chen, welcome," Chris' voice could not help but get louder due to the noisy environment around them.

She asked with a smile, "This should be your first time attending the Golden Globe Awards ceremony, how do you feel about it?"

"I'm very happy. It's a very pleasant thing to compete on the same stage with so many outstanding filmmakers." Chen Linfeng replied formally.

"I think so," Chris nodded. "So, what are your expectations for this awards ceremony? Which award do you want to win?"

Chen Linfeng tilted his head slightly and thought for a moment, "If possible, of course the best movie would be the best, but unfortunately that's not possible. For the rest, I hope to win an acting award for the two teachers in our crew."

It was half truth, but that was the situation on this occasion.

Then, Chris turned the microphone to Liu Xixi, as she felt this girl might be the breakthrough point.

"CC, what award do you hope Chen will win?"

Liu Qianqian said innocently, "He just said that he hopes to give it to two teachers. I think he is right."

After saying this, he nodded as if to indicate that this was what he thought.

Bah, turns out he’s also a fox.

Chris felt bored instantly.

She forced herself to show interest and asked a few more questions, then went to find other stars to see if she could make big news.

The reporters from the Sixth Princess seized the opportunity and came up to say hello.

"Good afternoon, Director Chen. Can I interview you?"

Chen Linfeng was about to leave, but when he heard the familiar Mandarin, he immediately stopped.

"can."

"Many people in China are paying attention to your new round of attack on the Oscars. Do you think there is hope this time?"

"Probably a little bit."

"Oh? Which prize do you think has the best chance of winning?"

"There should be hope for both the Actor Award and the Foreign Language Film Award. In fact, I prefer Mr. Lu or Mr. You to win the Actor Award. This is also where we are working hard at the moment."

Chen Linfeng still said a lot more when facing his own people in China.

"Then Director Chen, do you have any expectations for tonight's Golden Globe Awards?"

Chen Linfeng shook his head. "It's hard to say. The Golden Globe Awards are starting to have their own personality. I can't guess."

"This is Liu Xixi's first time attending the Golden Globe Awards. What do you think?"

“I think there are so many big stars.”

"Haha, you are also one of the big stars."

Liu Qianqian waved her hand, "No, I am not here yet."

"..."

After a brief interview.

Seeing that nothing was wrong, Chen Linfeng and Liu Qianqian continued walking forward.

I happened to run into Leo chatting with someone.

The other party saw Chen Linfeng and walked over first.

"Chen, good afternoon, nice to see you again."

The two had just met at a cocktail party this month, and Chen Linfeng was doing public relations with the judges at the time.

In fact, Leo was also a judge. He just went up to chat for a while and the conversation went pretty well.

Chen Linfeng nodded to the other party, "Leo, good afternoon."

Leonardo looked at Liu Qianqian and said, "This beautiful lady must be your muse, hello."

Liu Qianqian waved gently and imitated Chen Linfeng's way of addressing, "Hello, Leo, nice to meet you."

I used to like Leonardo very much, but I don’t know why, but now that we have met, I don’t feel particularly excited.

The only thing I thought about was the other person's status in the entertainment industry, and I felt an urge to try it out.

Maybe this is ambition.

Liu Qianqian thought so in her heart.

Leonardo didn't pay much attention to the beauty in front of him. Although she was indeed pretty, she didn't match his aesthetic taste.

He continued chatting with Chen Linfeng.
