Chapter 758: Luck is too bad

"What's the matter, what kind of bullshit Golden Globe Award, Cheng Gang didn't even win the award, it's better to call it the Shit Eating Award."

"Damn, the judges of the Golden Globe Awards are blind.The Silence of the Lambs has such a high box office and such a good reputation, it's all due to Cheng Gang.Gong Li won the Best Actress, why can't Cheng Gang, who has the most credit."

......................

When the guest presenting the best director recites Oliver Stone's "Born on the Fourth of July", there is hardly anyone in Hong Kong who stands in front of the TV and radio who does not curse.

But no matter how much you scold, you can't change the results of the awards.

The populace is emotional, but the media is calm.

Whether it is the live broadcast of Jade Channel or other live broadcast stations, they all expressed their heartfelt congratulations to Gong Li on his award.

As for whether it's heartfelt or not, who cares.

The media regretted Cheng Gang's defeat, but they did not react and be dissatisfied as much as the people, and they did not even question it.

Because the media knows very well that no award says that whoever is necessarily qualified will be able to get it.

No matter how good the movie is, it is uncertain whether it can win an award.

Because whether or not you can win an award has never been a factor that only affects whether the movie is good or not.

Often, other factors have a greater impact on the outcome of the award than whether the film is made well or not.

The winner of the Best Director Award is Oliver Stone, his "Born on the Fourth of July" is good, in fact, from the fact that this movie has a total of five nominations, it can be seen that it won four awards for Best Screenplay, Best Actor, Best Director and most importantly, Best Picture.

Well, definitely good.

If it's not good, it's not enough to be on the list of five nominees, let alone win four awards.

Not to mention that director Oliver Stone is a big director who has long been famous, and won the Oscar for Best Director in the field platoon three years ago.

Of course, this can only show that the film is well made, and there is capital to compete with the silent lambs.

But this movie can win four awards, in the eyes of knowledgeable media, it is by no means just because the movie is well-made.

The biggest reason why this movie can be the biggest winner of this year's Golden Globe Awards is its subject matter.

Just like the field platoon that shone at the Oscars three years ago, this "Born on the Fourth of July" is also an anti-war film.

It tells the story of the hot-blooded young man Lang who joined the army after being inspired by the Vietnam War speech of the President of the United States, and finally came to his senses after experiencing a real and brutal war.

The film is not just about one person, but about a generation of Americans who reflect on the war and how it affects them. The film is conceived around Ron Kovick, an ordinary man born on Independence Day in the United States, as the protagonist, and basically uses the three marches he participated in as the structural thread that runs through the whole film. Although the scene of crossing the battlefield in the film only occupies 17 minutes, the whole film is shrouded in the shadow of war from beginning to end, full of sad atmosphere, and thought-provoking.

Anti-war is the biggest political correctness in the mainstream values of the United States since the end of the Vietnam War.

Therefore, even if you don't mention the reason why it is naturally difficult for Chinese people to win awards in American film awards, just because of political correctness, the Silence of the Lambs is no comparison.

Naturally, Cheng Gang's defeat has nothing to say.

Luck, just like Shawshank's redemption met Forrest Gump, he can only consider himself unlucky.

Cheng Gang didn't win the award, in addition to reporting his helpless loss, the media focused more on Gong Li, the new Golden Globe Award-winning actress.

And just when the media were writing articles and preparing to praise Gong Li, Gong Li, who returned to the hotel after the award ceremony, was very unimaged, crying and laughing with Qiao Feng across the phone.

Winning the award is certainly worth being happy about, but for Qiao Feng, the joy is just for a while.

After listening to Gong Li's worries on the phone for an hour and the excitement she had been with since yesterday and the excitement after winning today's award, Qiao Feng ended the call with Gong Huang, who was still unsatisfied.

Before hanging up the phone, Qiao Feng joked that the international long-distance phone bill was too expensive, and he felt that he couldn't do it with a net worth of tens of billions of dollars.

Gong Huang, who had just won the award, was full of confidence and patted his bulging chest on the other end of the phone, saying that Qiao Feng could be a little white face in the future, and she raised it.

Qiao Feng was so amused by Gong Huang's confidence that he didn't know where it came from, he hung up the phone and couldn't stop laughing.

When Qiao Feng hung up the phone, the Fugui Corps and the three-person New World had also been released for a morning.

Both Longteng Cinema and Xinbao Cinema each gave the two newly released films the largest schedule, and all the theaters on both sides screened these two films for three shows in the morning.

In order to make room for the rich corps, the Longteng Cinema Line has not moved except for the five screenings a day of the children of troubled times, and all the other films released have been reduced, and the screenings of the previous twelve theaters have been reduced to seven, and the movies that were originally screened in twenty theaters have been cut in half, leaving ten theaters.

Such a large-scale cut of the schedule of other films will naturally cause great dissatisfaction among these film investors, but in order to give Debao and Xinbao the biggest blow, Longteng Cinema Line doesn't care about the feelings of these film investors at all.

Besides, in this Spring Festival file, the movies produced by other independent film companies are not good enough to be worth Qiao Feng's attention.

Originally, the attendance rate of their movies was not high, but they were given more films because there were no other movies of sufficient weight except for the hot hand detective and the children of troubled times.

Now reducing the schedule is just restoring their rightful share of the schedule.

So who cares how they feel.

"How's the attendance rate of the Rich Corps?" Qiao Feng called Wang Jing.

89 years and 30 years later, the computer system ticket sales are different, at this time there is no ability to see the ticket sales in real time, even the last show in the evening sold out tickets, without statistics, until the early hours of the morning do not want to know how many tickets were sold.

Therefore, if you want to know the ticket sales situation most intuitively, you can only ask the ticket sellers of each theater.

But Qiao Feng not only wanted to know the real-time situation of the ticket sales of the Fugui Corps, but also wanted to know the ticket sales of the opponent's three new worlds.

So when the movie began to sell tickets for the first show, Qiao Feng sent his old friend Wang Jing to Tsim Sha Tsui to guard.

There is a theater in Tsim Sha Tsui that happens to be next to a theater of the Xinbao Cinema Line and a cinema of the Dragon Teng Cinema Line, and both cinemas are still leading cinemas.

Such a theater is the best way to visually compare the ticket sales of the two films.

Wang Jing, who received Qiao Feng's call, had a bitter face.

"Hey, it's hard to say."
