Chapter 319: The Golden Dragon Award is also going international

With her wonderful performance in "The Ghost Is Not Over", Whoopi is now a hot supporting actress in Hollywood.

Her participation in the Golden Dragon Award this time was beyond many people's expectations.

In the eyes of those people, Whoopi didn't need to come. After all, compared to the Golden Dragon Award for Best Supporting Actress, the Oscar supporting actress is meaningful to her.

After all, she did not plan to come to Huaxia to develop.

The reason why Whoopi came is probably to give Mu Chen face.

Mu Chen and Li Ruoxi listened patiently to Ubi's gushing there.

I have to admit that this is a very eloquent person.

"Alright, Whoopi. We understand your feelings, but I have to pour cold water on you. Mu Chen said with a smile, "You are only shortlisted, and your competitors are also very strong." You may not be able to win a prize. ”

"It would be a shame not to win the award. Whoopi was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "However, I'm already happy to be nominated." Am I the first American to be nominated for a Golden Dragon Award?"

"Oh, you're really asking me. Mu Chen shook his head with a smile and said, "I don't know much about the previous shortlist of the Golden Dragon Award. In recent years, though, you should be the only one. ”

Whether Whoopi is the first American to be nominated, Mu Chen really doesn't know.

"You're here!" Zhang Gang walked over with a smile.

Mu Chen smiled and introduced Zhang Gang to Ubi.

Whoopi didn't say that he knew only Mu Chen and Li Ruoxi in Huaxia, but he was definitely only familiar with the two of them.

"I got a message. Zhang Gang and Ubi said hello, praised each other, and then said to Mu Chen with a smile.

"What's the news?" Mu Chen asked very cooperatively.

"The Golden Dragon Awards are ready to make adjustments and add corresponding awards such as Best Foreign Language Film. Zhang Gang said with a smile.

"Oh?" Mu Chen was a little surprised, and said, "Is the Golden Dragon Award ready to be internationalized?"

The Golden Dragon Awards are now only Chinese film awards.

In other words, it is not a Chinese-language film, and it is not even eligible to participate in the Golden Dragon Awards.

To put it mildly, it is the most authoritative film award for Chinese films.

To put it mildly, it is an award for Chinese films that comes from Hi behind closed doors.

This award naturally has a huge influence in the Chinese film industry, but it is much worse when it is put on the international scale.

"That's good news. Li Ruoxi said with a smile.

Chinese film festivals go international, and the influence of Chinese films in the international community will naturally be greater.

"Good news indeed. Mu Chen nodded and said.

"For many people, I'm afraid not necessarily. Zhang Gang shook his head and said.

The Golden Dragon Award has excellent foreign films participating, which naturally makes the competition for this award more intense.

Some Chinese filmmakers who could have won the award or could have been shortlisted may not have a chance to win the Golden Dragon Award because of this. This is naturally not a good thing for them.

After all, even if they don't win awards, they can be shortlisted and get a nomination, and they can rise in an instant.

But it's a good thing for Chinese-language films. Mu Chen said.

Zhang Gang nodded.

Chinese films go international, and the Chinese Film Festival must also go international.

This is the path that Chinese films must take to develop to a certain extent.

The Golden Dragon Award made such an adjustment, in fact, has a great relationship with Mu Chen.

When countless foreign films come to compete for the Golden Dragon Award for Best Foreign Language Film, it is the time for Chinese films to really rise.

Mu Chen's words are estimated to have poked the itch of many people on the Golden Dragon Award jury.

Of course, the most important thing is probably a comprehensive consideration.

For example, the influence of Chinese films in the world is increasing, the competitiveness is getting stronger and stronger, and the Chinese market is also getting bigger and bigger......

If there were no restrictions before, foreign films participated in the Golden Dragon Awards, and domestic films were weak in competitiveness and swept by foreign films, it would inevitably be obviously ugly.

But if it is obviously inferior to the other party, but it is awarded to itself and loses credibility, it is estimated to be even more ugly.

Of course, if an excellent foreign film is not attracted, and the award for Best Foreign Language Film is useless, then I am afraid it will be even more ugly.

Now, obviously, that won't be the case.

In the eyes of many, the time is ripe.

The Chinese film market is now second only to the North American film market, and the potential is unlimited. Winning the Golden Dragon Award for Best Foreign Language Film has greatly promoted the film's box office in China.

This alone may attract countless excellent foreign films.

"I'm afraid it's not that easy. Zhang Gang shook his head and said.

If it doesn't become an instant hit, it will be harmful to the Golden Dragon Award.

But if you want to become an instant hit, it's obviously not so easy.

"When are you going to get up and go to Cannes?" Mu Chen asked with a smile.

How to adjust the Golden Dragon Award, Mu Chen is not very interested.

"Next week. Zhang Gang said with a smile.

"Then I wish Director Zhang a victorious return. Li Ruoxi said with a smile.

No matter how well "Truman's World" performed at Cannes, the film still performed amazingly in the awards.

As for the box office, we will have to wait until after the release.

And this film is scheduled for May Day!

Not long after, the award ceremony began, and everyone took their seats.

Mu Chen's two films were shortlisted, but the two crews were arranged together.

The first award went to Best Cut, and "Avatar," "Ghost Love," and "Truman's World" were all nominated.

All three films are produced by Dawn Films, but the cutter is not alone.

However, all three films failed to win this award.

The award was taken away by another film.

Mu Chen smiled and didn't care.

Next, "Avatar" won the best visual effects, the best sound effects, and the best cinematography.

and "Ghost Love" won the best film and television song, as well as the best soundtrack.

"Truman's World" has not been successful so far, but it has just missed out on the best cut and the best art direction.

This film was shortlisted for a weighty award.

"Resident Evil" won the best action design.

and "Adventure in the Center of the Earth" played soy sauce once, and the two awards nominated for were lost to Mu Chen's "Avatar".

"The winner of Best Screenplay was: ...... Who do you think it will be?" Li Chao said with a smile to another award presenter.

"I don't think it's useful!" Jiang Qin said with a smile.

Li Chao and Zhao Jin have a good relationship, and now they are naturally familiar with Jiang Qin.

"Oh, why does this sound so familiar?" Li Chao was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Then who do you think has a better chance?"

"Aren't you talking nonsense?" Jiang Qin said with a smile, "Director Mu alone accounts for two nominations, of course he has a good chance! He has a fifty percent chance, while the other two are only one hundred and fifty-five percent." ”

"Okay!" Li Chao said with a smile, "If Director Mu wins the best screenplay, which film do you think it will rely on? Is it "The Love of People and Ghosts", or "Truman's World"?"

"What do you mean, Director Mu has won the best screenwriter again?" Jiang Qin smiled and did not answer the rhetorical question.

"What does it mean to win the best screenplay again, that's another double question. Li Chao said with a smile.

"You can announce it directly!" Jiang Qin said with a smile.

"The winner of the best screenplay is: Mu Chen, "Truman's World". Congratulations to Mu Chen!" Li Chao didn't talk nonsense and said.

"Truman's World" won the first award.

Mu Chen walked to the podium with a smile, took the trophy from Li Chao's hand, and hugged Li Chao with a smile.

As for Jiang Qin, he also hugged it, but he didn't taste it lightly, and he just meant it.

There is a difference between men and women, even if they are familiar, they must pay attention to proportion.

"It's great to win Best Screenplay again. Mu Chen said with a smile, "The script, the book of a play." I hope that the circle can pay more attention to screenwriters. Thank...... Thank you!"

How many times did Mu Chen win the best screenplay? Maybe he can't remember it clearly.

This is not the first time he has advocated for the importance of screenwriting.

However, screenwriters in the circle are indeed getting more and more attention nowadays.

After the best screenplay, Qin Yu won the best newcomer with his wonderful performance in "Avatar".

In the film, although she did not show her true face, her acting skills were recognized by everyone.

won the best newcomer and added another award to "Avatar".

"The winner of the Best Supporting Actor is: "Truman's World" Chen Dao!"

The character played by Chen Dao directed the entire Truman Show and is an old and sophisticated crew leader.

As the producer of "Truman's World", this character designed everything to be almost perfect, controlling Truman in the surreal world of Seaview Town.

It's a chilling character.

Chen Dao is a big-name actor in the circle, and his acting skills are also recognized. Under his interpretation, this role is indeed vivid.

Although he is only a supporting role in this film, his salary is higher than that of Zhao Jin as the protagonist.

However, in Mu Chen's opinion, he is worth the price.

And he was nominated for an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for this role.

This is also the second Chinese actor to be nominated for an Oscar.

After Best Supporting Actor, it is the most taboo supporting actress.

"Whoopi has a good chance. Li Ruoxi glanced at Whoopy, who was a little nervous.

Next to her sat a crew member who acted as an interpreter for her throughout the whole process.

She naturally knew that the Best Supporting Actress award would be presented next.

Although, this award seems to be a bit dispensable for her. But that award is also an affirmation.

She needed that affirmation.

Mu Chen smiled and nodded.

If the Golden Dragon Award wants to go international, then Whoopi, who came to Hollywood, has one more advantage over other shortlisted actors.

What's more, Whoopy's performance in "The Love of People and Ghosts" is indeed amazing.

"The winner of the Best Supporting Actress award was: Whoopi Goldberg is not over! Congratulations to this friend from the United States!

The English of the award presenters is good, and after the announcement of Chinese, there is also an English translation.

This moment made many people present stunned for a moment.

At the Golden Dragon Award ceremony, it seems that this is the first time that such a situation has occurred.
