Chapter 344: A Great Harvest
"The winner of the 62nd Golden Globe Award for Best Director is ......"
The NBC channel on the TV screen is divided into six frames, and in the center is Dustin Hoffman, who is in charge of presenting the awards, and he is unwrapping the envelope, and the five nominees, all in suits and leather shoes, are on either side, calmly or smilingly waiting for the results: Clint Eastwood (2/4, winner/nominated), 35-year-old Mark Foster (0/1), 51-year-old Paul Haggis (0/1), 34-year-old Christopher Nolan (0/1), 43-year-old Alexander Payne (0/2).
When Dustin Hoffman read out his name, everyone in the banquet hall was nervous for a moment, the best actor/actress in the drama category has been awarded, and Jim Carrey has rightfully lifted the trophy, after he had won two best actors in the drama category and musical/comedy in 99 with "Truman's World" and "Man on the Moon" in 00, this time the opponents including Johnny Depp of "Looking for Neverland" were not as loud as him, and Jim Carrey's award was in line with the media's predictions.
Once again won the best actor, Jim Carrey is naturally extremely happy, and the academic characteristics of "Mr. Hughes 2" also give him the best chance to enter the Oscars and even win the award, after many years in the film, he finally completed the pursuit with the role of Howard Hughes! The people of the Flame Movie are also very happy, and whether Jim Carrey can complete his dream will directly affect the plan of "The Green Hornet". And in terms of actresses, Hilary Swank is on the throne of Golden Globe for the second time.
"Clint Eastwood, Million Dollar Baby!"
A burst of crazy applause and cheers suddenly rang out, and several directors who were out of the game also laughed and clapped their hands, and there was no unconvinced or annoyed look, and the elder Eastwood won the Golden Globe Award for Best Director for the third time! This extremely charismatic old man's pleated face had a calm and calm smile, and he walked up to the podium with a calm and calm step. This year's Miss Golden Globe is none other than her 16-year-old daughter, Katherine Eastwood, who applauded happily as the camera swept over at this time.
"The winner of the Golden Globe Award for Best Picture in the Drama category was ......"
After the best director, it came to tonight's ultimate award, looking at Al Pacino who presented the award on the screen, Wang Yang's heart suddenly rose, and he couldn't help but widen his eyes and hold his breath, the award was awarded to "The Aviator" this year, that is, the adaptation of "Howard Hughes: The Secret Life", but the appearance of "Mr. Hughes" made Miramax have no production plan, and director Martin Scorsese and others went to shoot another film.
The Howard Hughes story was loved by the judges, and the classic "Mr. Hughes 2" had a big chance, with the bookmakers offering the second-lowest odds among the six nominees, with "Million Dollar Baby" being the lowest, followed by "Hotel Rwanda" and "Crash".
In the Hilton Golden Globe Awards Ballroom Ballroom, under the gaze of the audience of guests, Al Pacino looked at the results of the envelope and read into the microphone: "Citizen Hughes: Power, Money and Madness." ”
“YES…… YES!YES!!" Wang Yang and Jessica blurted out happily, "Citizen Hughes!!" Nolan and his wife got it!!Fire movie got it!!They stood up from the sofa with their hands raised in the air, jumped around with joy, and shouted excitedly: "Wow, wow, wow!"
That's why it's more comfortable to watch TV at home than to be on the spot, where the Nolan couple on the screen hugged each other tightly, celebrating excitedly with Jim Carrey and other crew members, thunderous applause and shouts filled the scene, and the camera swept across the guest seats with smiling faces.
“YOOOO~~OH,YAEH、YAEH、YAEHS!” In the living room, the two danced an impromptu hot hip-hop dance, Jessica pillowed her head with both hands, her back was against his body and her buttocks were arched, hitting between his crotch legs, her hands suddenly wrapped around his neck, her slender waist twisted like a water snake, she turned around and lowered her head back, her hands were tightly wrapped around his neck, and her left leg lifted and leaned on his waist and legs, while spinning her head rhythmically, Wang Yang took away her headband in time and threw it away, and her beautiful and slightly curly long brown hair suddenly danced.
He caressed her back wildly with both hands, and pressed his face forward to hers, and she fell backwards and fell backwards, and he looked up, and she came back seductively. The two suddenly stopped and looked at each other, and within half a second, the corners of their mouths were raised, and they could both feel each other's silent provocation: "Come on, are you afraid of you?"
Wang Yang suddenly raised his hands and slapped her buttocks crackling for a while, Jessica put down her left leg and let go of her hands, turned around and rubbed against him, in the crisp laughter, her shoulders and neck hands did the undulating movements of hip-hop, and stepped forward to pick his chin with her right index finger, pursed her lips and blinked kissing, with a, the charming style of sexy ** was fully revealed, her feet jumped rhythmically and retreated, and her raised hands pointed at him with their index fingers. Wang Yang slowly hooked his fingers at her, shook his palm suddenly, and danced to follow...... "YES!!" At the same time, countless fans of Flame Movie in front of the TV were also very happy and won the Best Actress in the Musical/Comedy category, and "District 9" won Best Director and Best Actor in Drama for the first time!
With tonight's grand prize announced, the ballroom has been thrown into a frenzy, and in a sea of applause, Mr. and Mrs. Nolan took the stage to accept the award along with two other "Mr. Hughes 2" executive producers, Graham King and Charles Rowan. Emma Thomas excitedly took the trophy from Al Pacino's hand, shook it a few times and handed it to her husband Nolan, who had gone from a millennial smile to a grin, and the shiny side hairstyle seemed messy.
Holding the heavy trophy, Nolan couldn't help but take a deep breath, great! Looking at the countless faces in front of the audience, they are all the main creators of one movie after another, the famous characters, and the producers of "Citizen Hughes" are standing on the stage! It's them! This scene made Emma Thomas's eyes suddenly moist, and she had always wanted to know how the winners choked up and cried, and now she experienced, and Christopher also experienced, this explosive sense of achievement!
"Thank you, thank you......" The applause gradually stopped, and Emma Thomas struggled to control her emotions, oh my God! She laughed a few times before she spoke: "First of all, we want to thank Howard Hughes, he is such a great person, thank you for his saga." Then we must thank Mr. Charles Hyam for writing Howard Hughes: The Secret Life, and Mr. Michael Dosning for writing Citizen Hughes: Power, Money, and Madness......"
"And the most important one. After thanking the crew, the organizers, and the Flame Movie, Emma Thomas smiled and looked to the side: "My husband, Christopher Nolan, this sentence may seem a bit unkind, but seriously, his excellent leadership and natural talent have made this movie and us successful. There was a round of good-natured laughter and then warm applause, and the camera swept over Kim Carrey and Jonathan Nolan, and Graham King and Charles Rowan on the stage also applauded, and Nolan smiled and said thank you.
Just when everyone thought she was finished, Emma Thomas said with a sincere face: "In the end, I really have to thank Wonder Young! It was all thanks to the support of this cool guy that we were able to make these two Hughes, he gave us the best trust, the best opportunity, and the best everything! We are very grateful to him......" Nolan, who was holding the trophy, also thanked: "Words are sometimes so pale, but I still have to say a ......" His heart surged, "Thank you, Young!"
The deafening applause began with Mark Celli, Paul Haggis and others, and immediately swept the entire banquet hall, and Natalie, who won the first prize, also applauded enthusiastically, looking left and right, it was really funny, he was obviously not present and did not nominate him, but his name kept appearing...... The 62nd Golden Globe Awards came to a successful conclusion, and the results of the 13 film awards were basically in line with the predictions of the mainstream media, "Crash", "Mr. Hughes 2", "Stealing Hearts", and "Million Dollar Baby" all ended their journey with 2 trophies;
Flame Films won four film awards in the drama category, Best Actor, Best Screenplay, and Best Original Song, and two TV awards in the musical/comedy category, Best Series, and Actress, becoming the biggest winner behind the scenes.
"Does this situation mean that the Flames have taken over the banner of Miramax? "Interestingly, there were three 'Thank you very much Wonder Young' at the party, and the young man brought three dark horses in one hand. ”…… On the second day of the Golden Globe Awards, online media such as Yahoo and AOL, as well as newspapers and media such as the Los Angeles Times and the New York Times, all handed over their entertainment pages to the event. On the same day, "Ghost Shadow 3", with a production budget of 5 million, was launched, and the reason why the cost of Magic Yang is so low is of course because Flame Films participated in the investment and enjoyed a 30% box office share. In fact, the salaries of starring Chloe Moretz, director Kevin Grout and others have not reduced the market price of Wang Yangduo.
On Saturday night, January 21, Wang Yang ushered in another opportunity to "make your own money", in the studio of Universal Studios, with the laughter and gaze of hundreds of audiences, and hosted by Jeff Foxworthy, he and Natalie teamed up on stage to record the first episode of "Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grade Elementary Schooler?".
"Who lays the biggest eggs among the living birds?", "Actually, I used to think it was penguin eggs, until I saw ostriches. "If there is an immortal bird in the world, I think it is, but it seems to be extinct, so it must be an ostrich." ”…… The two of them passed all the way, with multiple choice questions and question and answer questions...... After all three opportunities to ask for help from the kids, they all came to the ninth question with a prize of 300,000, and only three questions left could complete the game and get 1 million! The big screen on the stage showed this fifth-grade level question, and Jeff Foxworthy looked at the screen and read it out to the two serious-looking students: "Which of the following is not the Great Lakes of North America?" A Lake Huron, B Alberta, C Lake Michigan, D Ontario, E Lake Superior. ”
Wang Yang and Natalie, who were standing in front of the two answering podiums answering the questions respectively, glanced at each other, and both noticed that the other party was not completely sure, what was going on! Such a simple knowledge of geography...... Jeff Foxworth slapped his palms and brought them back to their senses. Amid the laughter of the audience, Wang Yang pondered: "I know that Lake Michigan and Lake Huron are definitely one of them, and I am not sure about the others." Natalie nodded, her eyes looking at the screen with seriousness: "Lake Ontario too, I remember." ”
"Stop, stop! You're fouling like that!" Jeff Foxworthy shouted to no avail, and the crowd around him looked at them with interest, USC and Harvard students were in trouble!
Both men thought it was either Lake Alberta or Lake Superior, and they silently wrote the results on the answer board and showed them to the audience before they began to exchange why. When everyone saw that Wonder Young chose Lake Alberta and Natalie Portman chose Lake Superior, they knew that someone was going to be finished!
"When I was filming Firefly last year, I went to Alberta, Canada, to shoot and there are a lot of lakes and rivers, like Lake Beto, and the scenery is very beautiful. Wang Yang shrugged his shoulders, glanced at Natalie who was stunned, and said honestly: "But I remember not hearing of Lake Alberta, otherwise I would definitely have an impression." Foxworthy gloated, and the audience couldn't help laughing, Natalie frowned and asked, "Are you kidding?" Wang Yang shook his head: "Not now." ”
"Natalie Portman, why did you choose Lake Superior?" Foxworthy turned bitter in a blink of an eye, Natalie was about to faint and spread her hands, almost speechless, angry: "I don't know at all!" The five Asian, Hispanic, African-American, and white children sitting behind the classroom desk burst into laughter, and the audience was amused by the funny scene, which was so funny!
As NBC currently advertises, "Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader" isn't just a puzzle show, it's also a comedy show. Thinking of the adults stomping their heads in front of a few children, the contemptuous and mocking expressions of the children, and the vitriol words and funny looks of Jeff Foxworthy, all of which highlight the embarrassment of the contestants, everything is perfectly presented in this moment.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry......" Wang Yang muttered as he turned his head and covered his face with his hands to show that he didn't want to see her. Natalie breathed deeply, more nervous than she had been on the Golden Globe podium a week ago, and a little dazed: "Oh my God, my God! I just know that Firefly has been to Alberta, and I've seen a few stills, and there are beautiful lakes in them! But Lake Superior...... I'm not sure. Foxworthy snorted: "Beautiful misunderstanding." In the laughter of the audience, he said: "But it doesn't have to be Wang Yang, right!
After a lot of teasing and teasing of the two, causing the audience to laugh again and again, seeing that the time was almost up, Foxworth and the live screen announced the wrong answers one by one: "Lake Michigan, Lake Huron...... Lake Superior!"
"Ahh Natalie opened her mouth wide and was stunned, if it weren't for everyone's eyes, she would have gone crazy and beat up the guy next to her!Lake Superior is one of the Great Lakes in North America, which naturally means that she is finished, and it doesn't matter if the prize money falls back to the 25,000 of the insurance line, but it stops at the ninth question...... The audience was not in a hurry to know the answer, the punishment was coming! The studio was about to be overturned by an unstoppable laughter, this is an unprecedented scene, a Harvard graduate, genius, and a big star who walked the red carpet to win the trophy in a beautiful way a week ago, Natalie Portman, she wants to say! Looking at the direction of the camera lens, Natalie's face was a little ashamed, this is simply killing her! After scolding Wang Yang from head to toe in her heart, she suddenly laughed: "I, Natalie Portman, are indeed not as smart as a fifth-grade elementary school student!" ”
"Whew!" The applause and laughter suddenly sounded deafeningly, looking at the smiling faces of several children over there, Wang Yang fully understood what it meant to be sad for a rabbit to die and a fox, and he sighed: "Oh my God......"
"I, Wang Yang, am indeed not as smart as a fifth-grade elementary school student!"
Although the correct answer to question 9 was Lake Alberta, on question 10, the USC junior college graduates also finished playing, and Wang Yang shouted the punishment slogan to the laughter of Natalie and the children in the audience. This episode of "Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?" will be released on NBC on February 16. If the ratings can explode, it will undoubtedly be a promotional beauty for "Firefly" and "Star Wars Prequel 3".
THE PROMOTIONAL PLAN FOR "FIREFLY" CONTINUES TO MOVE FORWARD ON THE SCHEDULED TRACK, WITH SPOOF TRAILERS FOR "DISTRICT NINE", "HANGOVER", "MIT-21-TEAM", AND "THE DEMON WEARS PRADA" ALL UPLOADED TO YOUTUBE FOR ENJOYMENT, AND THE VIRAL MARKETING PLAN IS SET TO START IN EARLY FEBRUARY.
After the Golden Globe Awards, the results of various union awards were announced one after another, and when the time came to January 24th, the 77th Oscars, the biggest name, announced the list of nominees, and Natalie Portman entered the Oscars for the second time without suspense, competing for Best Supporting Actress with Sophie Orknedor and others, and also confirmed the name of genius.

Miramax's "Finding Neverland" and Warner Bros.'s "Million Dollar Baby" each received seven nominations and ranked second, and the flaming film was officially the leader of this year's Oscars that the media scrambled for.
It is worth mentioning that this year's 25th Golden Sour Plum Awards announced the nominations as usual the day before the Oscar nominations were announced, and the biggest "winners" this year are "Catwoman" and "Alexander the Great", the former has a total of 7 nominations, and the latter also has 6, George Bush really shortlisted for the worst actor and the worst screen partner, Britney Spears also entered the competition for the worst supporting actress award with "Fahrenheit 911".
"Well, yes, yes......" In the spacious and bright living room, Wang Yang chatted mysteriously on his mobile phone and walked around. Jessica, who came quietly from behind, suddenly wowed, patted him on the shoulder, and said in a playful voice: "GOT-YOU~" Wang Yang hurriedly said to the other side, "I have to hang up!" and ended the call, Jessica squinted and glared at him, mmmmm, she has been often weird and weird lately, what do you want to do? She smiled and asked, "Which beauty dates you?"
"No, no, no, no, no!haha, don't talk nonsense...... Hey, hey, hey, are you suspicious of something?" Wang Yang hurriedly denied, his expression was indifferent and serious, making it not a joke at all, Jessica had to shrug her shoulders helplessly: "That's just a joke." Wang Yang laughed when he heard this, and pushed her shoulder: "I received it! haha, that's a joke, it's funny! haha......"
He walked a few steps, suddenly remembered something, turned around and said, "That's right! Sweetheart, I can't accompany you this weekend, I'm sorry, "Ghost Record 3", and "The Big Bang ......" He slapped his forehead in distress: "Oh my God, I have too many things to do." ”
Isn't it going to the beach this weekend? Jessica raised her eyebrows, because she couldn't help it if she worked, but January 31st was her wedding anniversary, and she had said that she would go to sea on the 30th, and then meet the 31st on the sea, she asked, "What about going to sea?" Wang Yang scratched her head hesitantly: "It should be possible!" Jessica seemed to laugh inexplicably, she didn't believe it! No matter how busy he was, he rarely did this, let alone such an important day? The script was so bad! She smiled and shook her index finger: " Wait, wait, isn't there any surprise? Oh I shouldn't have asked......"
"What a surprise...... Wang Yang was stunned, looking at her appearance of covering her mouth with her hands, and then came to her senses and laughed loudly: "Oh, oh! Yes, there are surprises, there are surprises! You will know when the time comes." As he walked outside, he casually asked, "What jewelry have you been looking for lately?"
Jessica curled the corners of her mouth and followed, ignoring his words, her eyes rolling, and she muttered, "This fool must be preparing some surprise, Seet......"
