"Infernal Affairs" was released in December 2002, the plot is relatively coherent, the undercover and anti-undercover settings are very outstanding, and the theme is very shadowy.

However, the director's level is limited, the lens language is thin, and the confrontation between the police and drugs/dealers is all contained in the absolute conflict between good and evil, and the characters are placed at two poles, black and white, which is a typical entertainment treatment. Moreover, the Hong Kong-style cult style is obvious, and it is destined to be only a niche entertainment in a small range.

Relatively speaking, the mainland, which has been making efforts in the film market, with the support of the state and the encouragement of the people, finally gave birth to a Chinese-language commercial blockbuster distributed all over the world - "Hero"!

The film is not only popular in Asia, but also in China, Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Macao, and it is difficult to find a ticket. It even landed strongly in the North American market and won unanimous praise from North American film critics!

Rotten Tomatoes freshness, up to 96%, the fourth of the year!

In Time magazine's annual movie summary, "Hero" beat "New York Storm", "Lord of the Rings 2: Two Towers", "Chicago", "The Pianist", "All the Time", "Spider-Man 2" and a series of god films.

Ranked No. 1 in the best movie of the year!

Such an unprecedented grand occasion has caused a shocking wave in Asia, not to mention the continent on the other side, even the whole of Asia, has set off a violent "Hero" fever!

And "Infernal Affairs", which was released at the same time as "Hero", is really unknown.

Even, "Hero" has become a strong contender for the best foreign language film at this year's Oscars!

Don wanted to pay attention to these two excellent Asian films, but he didn't expect that as early as half a year ago, when the film was still in the post-production stage, Harvey Weinstein had already gone to Asia and bought the North American distribution rights of the two films.

Fortunately, the copyright of the adaptation of "Infernal Affairs" is still there.

At the beginning of this month, Donn ordered the film rights department to buy the film and TV adaptation rights of "Infernal Affairs", but was surprised to find that Brad Pitt's Plan B Entertainment Company was actively negotiating with Media Asia Pictures.

Tang was not polite, and called Brad Pitt, and then New Universal directly offered $1.5 million to Media Asia Pictures to package and acquire the film and TV adaptation rights of "Infernal Affairs".

The negotiations are still ongoing.

That's Hollywood's weakness.

If the station is too high, the attention will be too high, and we must be cautious and deal with copyright safely.

Otherwise, if Hollywood wants to make a real event that happened in the United States, it still needs to buy the rights to adapt a foreign film?

Just shoot it cheekily.

Most studios around the world do this.

New Universal spent $1.5 million on the rights to eliminate possible future risks. This cost is much more cost-effective than the copyright lawsuit that may occur in the future.

In contrast, studios in other countries have no scruples about this.

The creative theme of "Infernal Affairs" comes from "Changing Face", but Media Asia Pictures has never communicated with Paramount.

In that part of the Hong Kong government, Media Asia Pictures is the sky, can Paramount still go to sue?

……

As the Golden Globes progress, many of the big prizes have been announced.

Veteran actor Jack Nicholson won Best Actor in a Drama for "About Schmidt," and Chris Cooper won Best Supporting Actor for "Adapted Screenplay."

Somewhat unexpectedly, in the race for Best Supporting Actress, Meryl Streep of "Adapted Screenplay" defeated Kathy Becca, Cameron Diaz, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Susan Sarandon and successfully won the title!

Donne's face couldn't help but change slightly, and he hurried to the table of the "Chicago" crew and sat next to Catherine Zeta-Jones.

She was really not very happy, "Donn, what's going on?"

Don also smiled a little wryly.

He knew that this year, Catherine Zeta-Jones won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for "Chicago". So it is logical to think that she will definitely be able to win the Golden Globe Award for Supporting Actress.

As it turns out, the Golden Globes and the Oscars are indeed very different.

"Probably...... It's a cake, can't all the awards be won by "Chicago", right?" Don En felt helpless and explained casually, "Otherwise, there will definitely be public opinion unfavorable to the Golden Globes, saying that the Golden Globes have given up fairness and justice and compromised with me." ”

Catherine Zeta-Jones was sullen.

Don said: "Don't believe me, maybe Richard Gere can still win Best Actor in a Musical Comedy, and if I give you Best Supporting Actress again, what will it be? Isn't Chicago a Grand Slam? It's shocking." ”

"Then you can't cut me, can you?"

"Hehe, how can it be so exaggerated? Besides, just a Golden Globe Award, do you really care? Don't forget, I guarantee you an Oscar! Oscar for Best Supporting Actress!"

"Really?"

"Don't believe me?"

Don glanced at her.

Catherine Zeta-Jones pursed her lips and smiled, "Letter!"

Sure enough, Richard Gere won the best actor in a musical comedy with "Chicago".

In the subsequent selection of the best picture in the musical comedy category, "Chicago" also won the award, and Donn took the stage and delivered an impassioned acceptance speech.

"I didn't win the prize!"

When Donn came back with the trophy, Catherine Zeta-Jones puffed out her mouth, coquettish, like a girl, and a little bit of the charm of a young woman, and her eyes flowed.

Tang En was a little moved, and lowered his voice, "Why don't you work hard at night and make amends for you?"

Catherine Zeta-Jones's face was ruddy and coquettish, and she said coquettishly: "Apologies? I think it's about the same as celebrating your award." ”

"Well, why don't you just call Rachel and Nicole to celebrate? Don's heart was on fire.

Rachel Weisz is easy to say, but Catherine Zeta-Jones has no relationship with Nicole Kidman, and is a little reserved, "Nicole......? Will she win an award too?"

Nicole Kidman competes for Best Actress in a Drama Series, and the competition is fierce.

Including Julianne Moore in "Far from Heaven", Salma Hayek in "Frida", Meryl Streep in "Moment to Moment", and Diane Lynne in "Infidelity".

Donn smiled: "Meryl Streep has won the Best Supporting Actress, the Golden Globe Awards can't crown her double, right?

"That'...... Does she agree?"

"She's a lot better than you. ”

"Hmph, together, together, who's afraid of whom? We, two British, are we afraid of her as an Australian woman? Rachel, are you right?"

Rachel Weisz pursed her lips and smiled, "Yes!"

……

The Golden Globes are long.

It was ten o'clock in the evening that it finally ended.

As Donn said, Nicole Kidman successfully lifted the second Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Musical Comedy in her life, and also shyly agreed to Done's ridiculous proposal.

With the improvement of Donn's social status and personal prestige, Nicole Kidman has given up on himself in front of him, and those who once insisted on forgetting everything were basically responsive.

Don can play as much as she wants.

It's very good.

In the remaining awards, "Moment by Moment" became the best film in the drama category, and Martin Scorsese became the best director for "New York Vice".

Spain's suspenseful romance film "Say to Her" won the Best Foreign Language Film award.

After the awards dinner, Don had to attend the Golden Globe Awards.

If it weren't for the fact that New Universal had won too many awards, he would have taken Nicole Kidman, Catherine Zeta-Jones, and Rachel Weisz out of the scene and gone to his newly bought "outhouse" villa by the sea for a night of fun.

No way, the three films "All the Time", "Chicago", and "New York Vice" have won a total of 7 awards, and everyone is looking forward to it!

Don is not easy to leave, and the three actresses can't get out.

At the Golden Globe Awards, Don saw the crew of "Heroes" who were slightly depressed after losing the competition for best foreign language film.

Tang En hesitated for a moment, and took the initiative to walk up, with a sunny smile on his face, "Miss Zhang, I haven't seen you for more than two years, and you are becoming more and more like a star." ”

"Mr. Walker, you're getting more and more like a big boss. ”

The international chapter is an international chapter in the end, I haven't seen it for a few years, and it has changed a lot.

When she came to the United States with "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" a few years ago, she was still a shy little girl, and now she can calmly cope with this kind of social situation.

It is conceivable that with the popularity of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", this girl must have been sought after by all eyes in China, and she has attended too many various drinking parties and met all kinds of big bosses.

Lots of experience.

Tang En saw that she was so "mature", and she didn't have the sense of youth she had a few years ago, and the restlessness in her heart calmed down a lot, and her interest became clear, and he turned to look at the old planner who was standing aside and was a little stupid.

Don took the initiative to shake his hand, "The movie is wonderful!"

is such a simple English, but Lao Mouzi can't understand it, or Miss Zhang is translating for him.

Tang En was very helpless, so he simply rushed out of Chinese, "The excitement of "Hero" is beyond my imagination. ”

"Huh?"

The entire crew of "Heroes" was stunned.

Looking at Don stupidly, it's like looking at a monster!

Damn, even a foreigner translator can't speak such standard Mandarin!

No way, excellent people, you can't keep a low profile if you want to!

Don sighed and shook his head again, so he had to lead the topic to the movie, squinted his eyes, and asked casually: "I heard that ...... North American release of "Heroes", Miramax is in charge?"

Director Zhang nodded again and again, but when he looked at Tang En's eyes, he was obviously much closer.

Speaking Mandarin so well, at least there is a deep study of Chinese culture.

"Is it convenient to talk about the specific situation?"

"This ......"

Director Zhang was a little hesitant.

Tang En waved his hand and smiled, "It's okay if it's inconvenient, but you can also see the current situation, although "Hero" is a good shot, but I want to win the best foreign language film...... The Golden Globes can't be won, and neither can the Oscars!"

"Wouldn't it?" Director Zhang's eyes widened.

Don looked at him with a smirk, "Did that Harvey Weinstein guy give you some guarantees?"

Director Zhang hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice: "In August last year, he spent $3 million to buy out the North American distribution rights of "Hero", and promised that he would do his best to win the Best Foreign Language Film Award. ”

When Donn heard this, he couldn't help but widen his eyes, "How much? $3 million?"

"Hmm. ”

"Buyout agreement?"

"Hmm. ”

Tang En hated iron a little, "Director Zhang, you've been fooled!"
