On January 16th, the annual Golden Globe Awards ceremony was held at the Hilton Los Angeles Beverly Hills. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

This year, in addition to NBC and other TV stations in the United States broadcast tonight's awards ceremony live, more than 100 TV stations around the world broadcast it simultaneously.

Because there are two Chinese films competing for the best foreign language film this year, Zhang Ran's "The Aviator" and Zhang Yimou's "Ambush on All Sides", the CCTV movie channel will also record and broadcast the award ceremony, but the domestic audience is very dissatisfied with this, why not broadcast it live, what kind of recording and broadcasting, isn't this disgusting? Fortunately, the peak of the century will broadcast the whole process on the Internet, and fans are relieved.

In addition to the two Chinese films, the five films nominated for Best Foreign Language Film this time include the French film "Spring of the Cattle Herding Class", the Spanish film "Deep Sea Sleep", and the Brazilian film "Motorcycle Diaries".

The least promising of the five films should be the French film "Spring in the Cattle Herding Class", which has average reviews in North America, with a freshness rating of only 68 on Rotten Tomatoes and a rating of only 56 on MTC. The Golden Globe Awards are an award run by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, and low reviews from the media and film critics mean that there is little hope of winning the award.

The remaining four films, about how a trip to South America inspired Che Guevara's worldview, and "Motorcycle Diaries," where revolutionary fervor began to sprout in his heart, was the weakest, while the other three had their own strengths.

"Deep Sea Sleep" has an advantage in subject matter, and the theme of life and death has always been the favorite of the Golden Globe Awards and the Oscars for foreign language films; "The Aviator" not only won the Golden Lion, but also won the best foreign language film awards from many film critics associations in North America Although there are a lot of bad reviews in China, his reputation in North America is excellent, with 88 points on Rotten Tomatoes and 89 points on MTC, and more importantly, Zhang Yimou has been disappointed twice at the Golden Globe Awards, and the judges are likely to compensate him.

However, almost all the domestic media are on the side of "The Aviator", in addition to thinking that "The Aviator" is good and "Ambush on All Sides" is bad, everyone is also afraid of being slapped in the face by "Ambush on All Sides".

When "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was released, many media scolded Ang Lee to the blood, and after "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" won the Oscar, these people had to swallow their original words and sing praises to the movie. Although the media has never been disciplined, they still don't want to be slapped in the face again.

The media shouted loudly about the Golden Globe Awards, but Zhang Yimou and Zhang Ran may not take it seriously, at least Zhang Ran did not take the Golden Globes too seriously. Because the Golden Globes themselves are a very popular award, they are selected by more than 90 members of the Foreign Correspondents' Association, two-thirds of whom are part-time, and they are usually scattered in various industries such as education, real estate, automobiles and film promotion, and only occasionally write articles, and have little authority at all.

Zhang Ran's impact on the Golden Globe Awards is not for the award itself, but for the box office. There are many Chinese films that have won awards at the three major film festivals, and the awards at the three major film festivals are not very attractive to the audience. The Golden Globe Awards are relatively rare, and only two Chinese-language films have won the Golden Globe Awards, "Farewell My Concubine" on behalf of Hong Kong, and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" on behalf of Taiwan Bend. If "The Aviator" can win the Golden Globe, it will be excellent publicity.

The Golden Globes have never been a simple award ceremony, they are another form of beauty contest. The audience and the media are most concerned about who is wearing the right ones and who is wearing them badly on the red carpet of the Golden Globes. All celebrities, whether they can win awards or not, will dress up and show their most beautiful side.

At this time, the red carpet in front of the Hilton Hotel was full of people, the sound of the shutter clicking one after another, the flash of the camera flashed non-stop, and a glamorous star walked on the red carpet with a smile, posing for various good-looking poses while walking, taking pictures with the photographer on the sidelines, and then getting together with acquaintances in the red carpet area to chat, the scene was extremely lively.

Zhang Ran was wearing a black suit, coupled with the efforts of the stylist, to give full play to the advantages of his appearance, and the whole person looked heroic; Zhang Jingchu next to him did not wear Dior's dress this time, but wore a blue and white porcelain dress designed by Guo Pei, hiding the blue and white elements under modern clothing, and the design of broken porcelain patterns, between the folds and swaying, showed a unique dynamic beauty.

However, Zhang Ran and Zhang Jingchu are not well-known in Hollywood, especially Zhang Jingchu is completely blank slate. When they walked on the red carpet, they barely took any pictures, except for a few Chinese reporters. It's not the first time they've encountered such treatment, and they don't care too much about it.

"Robin!" suddenly shouted from behind him, and Zhang Ran looked back to see that it was Martin Scorsese.

Zhang Ran said to Zhang Jingchu, and the two walked straight over.

"Martin, long time no see!" Zhang Ran said enthusiastically as he came to Scorsese's side.

"Robin, you nasty little scoundrel!" Scorsese said with a smile on his face, he spoke quickly like a machine gun, "I watched your 'The Aviator' and watched intently, from the first shot to the last scene." Each scene is so full, so perfectly balanced with storytelling and art style. As a film that studies characters and reflects society, "The Aviator" is truly extraordinary!"

"Thank you Martin, I'm very happy to hear you say that!" Zhang Ran smiled, it is the highest honor for any director to be affirmed by a great god like Scorsese, "Let me introduce you, this is my girlfriend Zhang Jingchu!"

"Hello, Mr. Scorsese. Your Taxi Driver is one of my favorite movies. Zhang Jingchu was busy greeting.

"I'm so happy to see you, you're a charming girl, and your performance in 'The Aviator' is great!" Scorsese looked at Zhang Jingchu and replied with a smile.

"Thank you, Mr. Scorsese!" Zhang Jingchu replied with a smile.

Scorsese smiled at Zhang Jingchu, then pulled Zhang Ran and said, "Do you know which shot of you I like the most?"

Zhang Ran thought for a while: "The lens of the frame slowly unfolding to both sides?"

Scorsese laughed and said, "yes, that shot is amazing." The picture slowly unfolds, and the whole world opens up at once, as if a new world has been created, and that feeling is amazing! This shot will forever go down in history and become an immortal classic, I love this shot so much!"

Zhang Ran was a little proud: "The inspiration of the lens comes from Chinese paintings, many Chinese paintings are collected in the form of scrolls, open the scroll, and the whole world is slowly presented in front of you, that feeling is very wonderful!"

In fact, the inspiration for this shot came from the scroll of the 08 Beijing Olympics, but the Olympics are three years later, and it is impossible for him to say it at this time.

"The scroll of Chinese painting, I see. It's a beautiful shot, and that shot can be called a reel shot!" Scorsese's eyes were full of a big smile, "You know what? Now the movie I'm going to make is about China." ”

Zhang Ran thought for a while, and his eyes lit up: "You are going to shoot the American version of "Infernal Affairs", I saw that the newspaper said that Warner bought the copyright of "Infernal Affairs" and was going to make an American version, I was thinking that there might be no better candidate for this kind of gangster movie besides Martin!"

"Yes, that's a great story, I love it so much!"

Zhang Ran and Scorsese said as they walked towards the Hilton Hotel. After entering the hall, Scorsese asked Zhang Ran about their seats, and then patted Zhang Ran's arm: "I'm at table 3, I'm over, and we'll talk slowly at the party after the awards are over!"

The Golden Globes are not as serious as the usual awards ceremonies, and the stars are present in the form of a dinner party, where they can sit together and enjoy the ceremony and dinner.

Of course, the Golden Globe Awards seating arrangement is also exquisite, the more important the award, the more important the guest will be arranged. For example, Martin Scorsese's "The Aviator" is the favorite for the Golden Globes, and Scorsese and Leonardo are sitting at table 3. Although Nicole Kidman is a superstar and won Best Actress in a Drama for "Rebirth", she was placed at table 15 because of the mediocre quality of the film and the odds of winning.

Zhang Ran and Zhang Jingchu sat at table No. 68, one in the middle. Best Foreign Language Film is a small award of the Golden Globe Awards, and it is not particularly valued, and the fact that Zhang Ran and them can be arranged at table 68 shows that the Golden Globe Awards organizing committee is quite optimistic about "The Aviator". If "The Aviator" wins, it will be faster to go on stage to accept the award. For example, the least optimistic "Spring of the Cattle Herding Class" is arranged on the 265th, in case they win the award, they will have to walk for a few minutes on stage.

The Golden Globes are organized by the Foreign Press Association, and they are all actors and journalists, and Hollywood stars are not privileged.

Zhang Ran's table also has reporters, and in addition to that, there is also a sweet-looking and beautiful woman.

Zhang Ran looked at the woman secretly and asked tentatively, "Are you Britney Pearce?"

Britney glanced at Zhang Ran and didn't speak.

Zhang Ran smiled slightly, and I introduced: "Hello! Britney! My name is Zhang Ran, and I am a director. That is true. I'm going to make a short film in the middle of next year, and I need a girl who can sing, and I think you're a good fit. I wonder if you're interested?"

Britney glanced at Zhang Ran, Asian, still so young, what good movie can be made?Unceremoniously refused: "Not interested!"

Zhang Ran was slightly stunned, looking a little embarrassed, and refused so directly. He smiled and said nothing more.

Zhang Jing saw Zhang Ran deflated for the first time, and laughed softly: "You deserve it, it's rejected, let you talk to you randomly!"

Zhang Ran was speechless: "Am I that kind of person? I really have a role and need a girl who can sing." ”

Zhang Jingchu pouted and said: "I obviously said that I would make a movie for me after filming "Three Fools", and it doesn't matter if I speak!"

Only then did Zhang Ran understand what Zhang Jingchu was jealous of: "The one I want to make is not a complete movie, it is a short film of a few minutes." Do you remember? At the Venice Film Festival, a French producer invited me, along with other directors, to make a few minutes of love short film about Paris, and then synthesize a film called "Paris, I Love You"! This is the short film I'm going to make, and as for your heroine, I've already figured out what to shoot!"

When Zhang Jingchu heard Zhang Ran say this, she was very curious and asked, "Really, what are you shooting?"

Zhang Ran smiled: "Keep it secret for the time being!"

Zhang Jingchu slapped Zhang Ran lightly: "I hate it!"

Britney didn't understand Chinese, didn't know what Zhang Ran was talking about, and she didn't care. There are very few Asian directors who can mix well in the United States, anyway, she knows Ang Lee, and the person in front of her is obviously not Ang Lee.

In fact, she is not not interested in acting in movies, in fact, she is interested, and she has participated in several movies in recent years. It's just that most of these movies are of low quality, and what brings her is not glory, but shame. So far, she has won two Golden Sour Plum Awards, once for Worst Actress and once for Worst Supporting Actress. She doesn't want to be a laughing stock anymore, so she is more cautious in taking on the show.

The awards ceremony soon began, and Britney was slowly sipping red wine, listening to the host's sneer jokes, and laughing from time to time. Just then, she saw a familiar figure walking towards her, it was Leonardo. (To be continued.) )
