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

Chapter 387 Movie Queen
"Chen, I went back to watch your Sunset last time, and also watched your earlier Whiplash. I have to say, it's very good. I think you deserve an Oscar for Best Director."

His expression was sincere.

"Thank you, I'm glad you like it."

Chen Linfeng never cared about other people's compliments, no matter whether they were sincere or just acting.

The group was originally standing and chatting, but there were too many people around and the environment was not very good, so they slowly walked into the venue, chatting as they walked.

"What do you think of me, I mean, as an actor?" Leonardo asked suddenly.

"Not bad, the performance style is quite passionate and delicate in many cases. Overall, it has reached a first-class level. However, in a few cases, it was too exaggerated and lacked a sense of hierarchy."

Chen Linfeng made his evaluation from the perspective of a director and did not deliberately praise. Given his current status, he did not need to please anyone.

Leonardo listened attentively. The evaluation given by the other party was a bit harsh to him, but this was the evaluation given by a great director.

In fact, Martin Scorsese also said something similar to him, but that's how acting is. Even if you know your own problems, it is difficult to correct them.

Especially when you reach a very high level of performance, it is extremely difficult to improve further.

A typical example is Chen Daoming, who must be aware of the problem of his rigid performance style, but he just can't change it.

“A very fair review.”

Leonardo said bitterly, "Martin said so too. Maybe it's because my performance still has flaws that I haven't won the little golden man yet."

Chen Linfeng shook his head. "Your level must exceed that threshold. Performance is indeed a small factor, but it is not the key."

As for the reason, he did not say much. So many analytical reports around the world have already made it clear.

Leonardo himself knew it.

"I wonder if there is a chance to cooperate with you?" He looked at the other person with bright eyes.

Chen has received so many awards, like he is the chosen one, he wins every time he is photographed.

He has only made two art films, but they won the Golden Lion and Palme d'Or respectively.

Although he is not optimistic about this year's Oscars, it is not because of the work.

From his perspective, "Sunset" is undoubtedly far superior to "The Hurt Locker". If it loses, it can only be due to off-field factors.

At this time, the two of them had already entered the venue.

The Golden Globe Awards ceremony was in the form of a dinner party, with everyone sitting around together.

Originally, Leonardo and Chen Linfeng were not at the same table, but he was very proud, so he said a word to them and switched seats.

Others saw Leonardo sitting and chatting with Chen, who has been very popular recently, in the central area, and they all guessed what they were talking about.

Are you going to discuss cooperation?
The media in the venue would occasionally point their cameras at the two of them.

The two continued to talk about the previous topic.

"Of course there is no problem with cooperation, but I don't have any good ideas for award-winning works recently. Instead, I am very interested in commercial films. I wonder if you have read my short story "Inception"? "

When Leonardo heard the first half of the sentence, he couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

But when he finished listening, he suddenly felt that the name the other party said sounded familiar.

"Is this the script that Director Nolan has been trying to get?"

This incident is quite well-known in the circle.

Every year at the Oscars or other events, whenever Christopher Nolan sees Chen, he will definitely bring up the issue of buying the script.

And every time, Chen would refuse.

Over time, everyone became interested in this story.

Some people even came to watch it specifically and praised it highly.

Over time, the news gradually spread.

Although Leonardo had never read the original novel, he had heard the name.

"Yes, that's it. I think it's time to start this project. It's tentatively scheduled to start at the end of this year or early next year. I wonder if you are interested."

In its previous life, "Inception" was a movie that was supposed to be released next year.

But Chen Linfeng had already stockpiled the scripts, and because of his fame, no one would want to use shady tactics to change the skin and shoot the film.

After all, there are countless scripts in Hollywood, so there is no need to stick to just one.

In fact, Nolan himself has kind of given up in the past two years and turned to thinking about other stories.

What's more tragic is that Chen Linfeng also copied "Interstellar" in advance, and only took advantage of Nolan, almost exploiting him to death.

Nolan is still thinking about new stories.

Although he accepted to shoot a movie during this period, it was obviously not as good as the "Inception" he was originally supposed to shoot.

The battle of luck is so terrifying.

Back to "Inception", this movie was not a 3D movie in its previous life. It was stuck just before the 3D craze, which is really a pity.

In fact, judging from the scenes and pictures of the original film, it is a movie that is very suitable for 3D effects.

Therefore, Chen Linfeng was stuck for a while.

Of course, part of the reason is that his development in Hollywood had not reached that level before.

It would be more appropriate to start this year or next year.

Leonardo thought about it carefully but did not give a definite answer.

"Sorry, Chen, I have to see the specific story or script before I can decide. Please allow me to give you a reply later."

"That's as it should be. I'll be in Hollywood until the Oscar results come out. Just give me a definite answer during this time."

Leonardo nodded solemnly.

Although it is not an art film, it is not impossible to cooperate with commercial films.

Although he really hoped to get the little golden man, he actually knew in his heart where his base was.

There has been no relaxation in business either.

Waiting until around March to give a reply is exactly what Leonardo wants.

I heard that Chen's film "Taken" shot last year is about to be released. He wants to wait until the film is released and then make a comprehensive consideration based on the quality of the story itself.

At this time, the formal award ceremony procedure had already begun on the stage.

The two looked towards the front desk.

…"When the award ceremony started, the stars were very reserved and the food on the table was barely touched."

"Chen Linfeng had a great conversation with superstar Leonardo."

"Liu Qianqian lowered her head and picked at her fingers in boredom."

On the Internet, many portals are broadcasting live text and occasionally showing pictures of the scene.

“I don’t know if it was taken on site or captured from a live TV broadcast.”

Because it was winter vacation, Li Qingqing curled up in her bed, staring at her cell phone.

The Golden Globe Awards are held in the evening to night in the United States, while in China they are held in the early morning to morning.

Li Qingqing got up early, which was rare. But because it was too cold outside, she didn't want to get up to use the computer. Fortunately, it was convenient to surf the Internet with mobile phones, and she felt better in bed.

She almost fell asleep several times just now, but fortunately there were news reports about Chen Linfeng and Liu Qianqian to keep her awake.

Now the awards ceremony has finally begun.

"In a previous interview, Director Chen said that he hoped to win an acting award for both You and Lu, and that was not an empty promise.

The two teachers are currently gaining momentum during the awards season, with "Sunset" having won many awards.

But in fact, Director Chen and Director Zhang have a good chance of winning the Best Director Award, according to some media predictions:

Among the current favorites for the Oscar for Best Director, after Kathryn Bigelow of The Hurt Locker, there are Chen and Zhang, and James Cameron is behind them.

Li Qingqing likes Xiao Xu who posts live text broadcasts very much. In addition to reporting the on-site situation, he always includes some personal analysis of his own and some reports obtained in the United States.

Of course, what I like more is that he is also a Chen fan and is full of support for "Sunset".

Some of the comments below scolded him, saying that Xiao Xu's butt was too crooked, he always sat on their side and did not have an objective attitude.

Li Qingqing was speechless. It would be a shame to turn your back on outsiders.

New text reports popped up.

"The first award is out, it's the Best Supporting Actor in a Television Series..."

It was irrelevant content again, and Li Qingqing watched it with boredom.

"Nice! The new award is the Best Actor in a Miniseries. Chen Linfeng won this award for his role as Sherlock in Sherlock Holmes."

"He came up to receive the award. In his speech, he thanked the book fans for their support and specifically mentioned the domestic audiences' long-term support for him."

"Yes! Yes!"

Li Qingqing clenched her fists and called out in a low voice. She was afraid that her voice would be too loud and her parents would hear it. It would be bad if they were pulled out of bed.

The live broadcast continued, and the best mini-series was also given to "Sherlock Holmes".

Li Qingqing was no longer sleepy and she began to look forward to the moment when "Sunset" would win an award.

In the television categories, after the mini-series, there are awards for music and drama television.

This has nothing to do with domestic audiences.

Xiao Xu was very smart and only reported on the award-winning works during this period, and spent the rest of the time discussing the significance of "Sherlock Holmes" winning the award.

Fortunately, the work won an award, and Chen Linfeng won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a Television Series.

This is also the first time in China. No matter what, as long as it is the first, it will be of great significance.

Chinese people like this the most and want to be the first in everything.

Time gradually transitions to film awards.

"Martin Scorsese received the Lifetime Achievement Award, and Leonardo DiCaprio stood up and hugged his mentor. Director Martin has collaborated with Leo many times and pushed him onto the Oscar stage, but it's a pity that Leo has yet to win an Oscar."

"Here it comes. The first award for Sunset tonight is Best Screenplay. Director Chen won the Best Screenplay. Beautiful!"

Li Qingqing opened her eyes wide and felt that this morning was wonderful.

"It's a pity that the Best Foreign Language Film award went to The White Ribbon, which was Director Chen's biggest competitor when it was in Cannes.

In this award season, it has also won the Best Foreign Language Film Award several times, surpassing "Sunset". It seems that foreigners think this work still has its merits and can compete with "Sunset". "

Li Qingqing suddenly felt that the good points of shit were not beautiful anymore.

"Now it's time for the Best Actor in a Drama Series. Teacher You, Teacher You, do you have any hope of winning one?"

"Ah, what a shame, it was Jeff Bridges who won Best Actor for Crazy Heart."

No way, Xiao Xu, how come you have become a jinx? Hurry up and find someone to do the live broadcast.

Li Qingqing put her phone on the bed, unable to bear looking at it for a moment.

However, with nothing to do in bed, she swallowed her anger and continued watching.

"The Best Actress in a Drama Series award went to Ms. Lu, right? Oh, Ms. Lu got it. Congratulations to Ms. Lu, congratulations to Sunset, congratulations to Director Chen, and congratulations to Director Zhang."

"A new Golden Globe winner has been born. She is the first Chinese actress to win the award. This is another historic breakthrough."

"NICE!"

Xiao Xu, you are not that useless.

Li Qingqing was so excited that she could only applaud.

The atmosphere at the scene was still very warm.

Everyone applauded and welcomed the actress from China.

Chen Linfeng also clapped with satisfaction.

But he actually didn't feel very good.

Now that we have won a major award, it will probably be difficult to win the rest.

Sure enough, the next Best Director award did not go to "Sunset", but was given to James Cameron.

It's not surprising that the Golden Globe Awards is indeed moving towards a more commercial approach.

"Avatar" has such a high box office now that no one can ignore it.

However, when the presenter uttered the name "Avatar" in the subsequent Best Picture award, everyone in the audience was still a little surprised.

The previous hits "The Hurt Locker" and "Sating Soldier" have become supporting roles.

　I will speed up tomorrow and write directly about the Oscar plot.
