Chapter 320: Something Happened to Mu Ze
When Whoopi heard this, he stood up excitedly, and his excitement could not be concealed.
She is now famous in Hollywood, but before that she was just a little-known stand-up comedian.
This is the first actor award she won.
Even if this award does not promote her acting career in Hollywood.
But the moment she learned that she had won the award, her emotions were instantly uncontrollable.
This is the most authoritative award for Chinese films.
Whoopi walked onto the podium, whether it was the guests at the scene or the audience in front of the TV, they were still a little stunned when they saw this black aunt.
Whether she is the first foreigner to win the Golden Dragon Award is estimated to be unknown to many people.
But many people are sure that this is definitely the first black person to win the Golden Dragon Award.
Perhaps, the first American to win the award.
"As a black actor, I feel very honored and grateful to be able to win the Best Supporting Actress Award at the Chinese Golden Dragon Awards. I love Huaxia, it's a beautiful country. Finally, thank you Director Mu Chen. If it weren't for him, I might still be telling clichΓ©d jokes in a theater in New York......"
Whoopi may have a lot of stage experience, so after taking the stage, she instantly controlled her emotions.
Perhaps, there is still some excitement, but there is no gaffe, and it seems to be down-to-earth and generous.
"Nervous?"
After Best Supporting Actress, the Best Actor is awarded.
"You should ask Zhao Jin. Mu Chen smiled and said.
He really didn't expect much from the Best Actor award.
Perhaps, Mu Chen has never positioned himself as an actor.
The reason why he starred in this film is because there are many intimate scenes between the male and female protagonists in the film.
It's not appropriate to find a stand-in for those scenes.
doesn't look for a stand-in, and he doesn't want to see Li Ruoxi and other actors too close.
Mu Chen has no machismo, but it is difficult to accept too intimate scenes such as Li Ruoxi and other male actors filming kiss scenes.
Zhao Jin was really nervous at this time, if he could be crowned emperor in one fell swoop, it would be of great benefit to his future acting career.
What's more, which Chinese actor doesn't want to win the Golden Dragon Award for Best Actor?
Jiang Qin, who was next to Zhao Jin, seemed to sense Zhao Jin's nervousness, patted his hands, and then smiled at him.
The smile on Zhao Jin's face was a little calmer.
"The winner of the Best Actor is: "Killing Machine" Huang Yao! Congratulations to Huang Yao ......"
"Bang Bang!"
The applause rang out, and Mu Chen and Zhao Jin both smiled.
However, Mu Chen's smile was very indifferent, while Zhao Jin's smile seemed a little far-fetched.
"Huang Yao, this person seems to be a signed artist of Dawn Film and Television, right?" Li Ruoxi looked at Huang Yao who came to the stage and said with some surprise.
"It seems so!" Mu Chen said, "I remember that he also played the big brother in "Shaolin Football". Well, at the time I also told Marin that he was very good at acting. β
Huang Yao also starred in Marin's "Crazy Stone"!
"You!" Li Ruoxi shook her head and smiled, how could she not hear the uncertainty in Mu Chenhua's words.
An actor who won the Golden Dragon Award, Mu Chen was not sure if he was an artist from his own company.
He's a real failure.
"Are you starting to get nervous?"
Mu Chen said to Li Ruoxi with a smile.
At this time, Huang Yao walked down from the stage after delivering his acceptance speech.
Next, it's time to present the Best Actress award.
Li Ruoxi smiled, but did not speak.
Mu Chen had a tacit understanding with her, how could he not understand what Li Ruoxi meant.
She doesn't think highly of herself.
Is there a chance?
Naturally, there is. Li Ruoxi is definitely a queen-level performance in "The Love of People and Ghosts", but unfortunately she met a tough opponent.
Zhang Na won the Cannes seal last year with a literary film.
Sure enough, as Li Ruoxi guessed, Zhang Na won the Golden Dragon Award again with that film.
"Bang Bang!"
Li Ruoxi smiled and applauded, the smile on her face was not far-fetched.
Maybe she has a good relationship with Zhang Na, and after Zhang Na can be sealed again, she is happy for her.
Perhaps, without expectations, there will be no disappointment.
After Best Actress, the Golden Dragon Award ceremony is coming to an end.
"Best director, who do you think is most likely to win?" Li Ruoxi asked Mu Chen in a low voice.
"It's not me, it's Director Zhang. Mu Chen said directly.
If the reporter had asked, he would not have said so.
Li Ruoxi asked, what did he naturally think and say.
In the end, as Mu Chen guessed, the best director was won by Zhang Gang.
Mu Chen shook his head and smiled.
He didn't have much to lose. Even if he was shortlisted for both films.
As for whether the media will say that Mu Chen's two films can't do Zhang Gang's one film, and finally come to a conclusion that "Jiang is still old and spicy", then Mu Chen doesn't know.
Yes, he wouldn't care.
However, it is estimated that there is none. After all, "Truman's World" was written by Mu Chen, and he even hung up a producer.
"I don't know why, this is not the first time I have won the Golden Dragon Award for Best Director, but I have an indescribable sense of accomplishment. Zhang Gang said with a smile, "Today's young people are so cruel that they don't give us old guys a way to live." Thank you very much to the jury for awarding this award to me. β
As soon as Zhang Gang's words came out, everyone in the audience laughed.
Everyone can hear that Zhang Gang is ridiculing Mu Chen again.
"Truman's World...... Well, when I mention this film, my sense of accomplishment just now is instantly gone. Zhang Gang shook his head and said, "After all, this is written by that young man." I had discussed it with him countless times before making this film. I knew very well that if he directed, it might not be better. β
"To call him a young man is to rely on the old and sell the old. If I don't scream twice, I'm afraid I'm not qualified to call it that. Zhang Gang said with a smile, "I don't want to admit it, but I have to admit that the future of Chinese films lies in the younger generation of filmmakers." I hope we old guys can see the day when Chinese movies really rise. β
Zhang Gang won the best director, so the chances of "Truman's World" winning the best picture are much smaller.
"The winner of the best picture is: Avatar!"
Mu Chen got up with a smile, not much of a surprise at this.
"Avatar", a film that swept the world and even promoted global film reform, if it doesn't win the best picture, then which one else is eligible?
What's more, this film is not a popcorn movie without connotation.
Mu Chen even felt that a big reason why he didn't win the best director was because of the "tradition" of the Golden Dragon Award.
What tradition?
If selected, Best Director and Best Picture will not be produced in the same film.
If it does appear, it can only be said that there is no evenly matched opponent.
The original version of this film won the Oscars for Best Picture and Best Director.
Standing on the shoulders of giants, Mu Chen didn't think he was shorter than giants.
"Work hard for the rise of Chinese films!"
Mu Chen's award feels like this sentence, without any thanks in Chinese, but it makes many people's blood boil.
At the end of the awards ceremony, Dawn Film and Television undoubtedly became the biggest winner.
"Director Mu, you missed the Best Actor and Best Director, which award makes you feel more regretful?"
Mu Chen is definitely the most concerned filmmaker at this Golden Dragon Awards.
At the end of the award ceremony, he was naturally surrounded by media reporters.
"Of course it's the best director, after all, I'm a director. Mu Chen said.
"Have you ever thought about coming back next year?"
Another reporter hurriedly said.
Mu Chen is undoubtedly a frequent visitor to the Golden Dragon Award, and he is nominated almost every year, just how many are nominated.
Moreover, if he really makes a film for the award, it is very likely that he will get what he wants.
He has that strength.
"Didn't think about it. Mu Chen shook his head and said, "Most of my next films are purely commercial films. β
Purely commercial films are not the kind that combine business and art.
It is unlikely that this kind of film will win awards, and most of the nominations are technical awards.
Mu Chen's next plan, the chance of winning the prize is indeed not much.
Perhaps, just take the best screenplay or something.
Mu Chen will not adapt his own plans in order to win the award.
didn't win Best Director, Best Actor, but Mu Chen did not return empty-handed, he won the Best Screenplay, Best Film Song Award and Best Soundtrack.
It's a full load.
He is also the filmmaker who has won the most awards this year.
The Golden Dragon Award ceremony is over, but the impact has just begun.
Among them, Whoopi Goldberg won the Best Supporting Actress award, and many foreign media reported it.
However, it did not cause much repercussions.
The influence of the Golden Dragon Award is also limited to China.
After attending the awards ceremony, Mu Chen continued to follow up the post-production of "Iron Man" and discuss the script with the screenwriting team.
And Zhang Gang took "Truman's World" to Cannes.
This well-known French film festival, Mu Chen has really never been there.
It didn't take long for the good news to come back.
"Truman's World" did not win the Palme d'Or, but it won the Grand Jury Prize.
Zhao Jin failed to win the Cannes Best Actor and played soy sauce again.
However, it can be regarded as showing a face internationally. His acting skills have also been recognized by insiders.
""Kung Fu", I am still ready to let Miao Xun play the leading role. Ma Lin said, "This film and "Shaolin Football" are in the same vein in many places. What's more, although the kung fu in this film has special effects for deification, if the protagonist doesn't even have a little kung fu foundation, it will inevitably be a little tasteless. β
"Hmm!" Mu Chen nodded.
For Ma Lin's consideration, Mu Chen naturally agreed.
The original actor is famous for comedy, but he also has a kung fu foundation.
"Zhao Jin, that guy is ready to announce his relationship?" Marin then asked.
After talking about the movie, let's talk about private matters by the way.
"What, you also want to announce your relationship?" Mu Chen smiled and said.
Ma Lin shook his head, he didn't care, but announcing the relationship at this time would definitely be harmful to Qin Yu.
"Boss, Brother Ze was shot while filming in the United States. β
Mu Chen was about to say something, but Cheng Ting pushed the door in and said directly.
"Filming, shot?" Mu Chen stood up instantly, looked at Cheng Ting, and said, "How is my brother?"
