Song Zheng's current mentality, saying a little bit of Wen Zou Zou's words, is really a bit arrogant, but the fact is also the same, not to mention the strong influence of "Avatar", "The Happiness Line Behind the Dark Clouds" is not up to a grade at all.

With James Cameron's status alone, the current Song Zheng is beyond reach.

And James Cameron PK?

Make no mistake, this is the home of James Cameron in the United States, and it is impossible for those judges to make judgments without considering James Cameron's status in the industry and the extraordinary achievements of "Avatar".

Moreover, if Song Zheng remembers correctly, this year's Golden Globe Award for Best Director and Best Drama Film were all won by "Avatar", and even the previous media hit "Bomb Disposal Unit" has become a running role.

"Let's go!"

Now that the protagonist on the red carpet has changed, Song Zheng is naturally not interested in continuing to rub it off, and he still disdains to do such a tasteless thing on the red carpet.

Zhang Jingchu didn't have much interest in this kind of scene, and when she heard Song Zheng's words, she also sped up her pace, and the two of them quickly arrived at the interview area, and after a brief interview, the two walked into the hotel, took the elevator to the venue, and walked in, there were already many people inside.

"Hey!

Song Zheng followed the sound and looked over, and saw Old Man De Niro waving at him, and hurriedly walked over with Zhang Jingchu: "Hello! Robert!"

De Niro smiled and hugged Song Zheng: "I'm really happy to see you, it's a pity that you couldn't come over when "The Happiness Line Behind the Dark Clouds" was released." ”

When he first filmed "The Happiness Line Behind the Dark Clouds" for Robert De Niro, it was just a vacation-like mentality, although he knew that it was a good story, but it was too difficult for a literary film to achieve a high box office, but who knew that this movie caused a lot of sensation as soon as it was released, and the box office climbed all the way, and when the screening ended, the cumulative box office actually exceeded 300 million, which surprised De Niro.

When "The Happiness Line Behind the Dark Clouds" was released, Song Zheng was busy filming "The Prequel to the Mansion", but Zhang Jingchu took the time to come to the United States.

"It's a pity!" Song Zheng smiled, "By the way, I haven't congratulated you yet, the nomination for Best Supporting Actor in a Drama Drama should be considered a surprise, isn't it?"

Why De Niro took over "The Happiness Line Behind the Dark Clouds" at that time, the reason Song Zheng is very clear that for De Niro, being nominated for Best Supporting Actor is definitely a surprise.

"That's true!" De Niro smiled and winked at Song Zheng, "But I'm looking forward to working with you again if I have the opportunity, I promise that next time I cooperate, I will definitely show 100% strength!"

Song Zheng didn't feel offended by De Niro's words, but smiled and said, "I'm looking forward to it too!"

After chatting for a few words, the three of them found a place to sit down, "The Happiness Line Behind the Dark Clouds" was the only three of them who came to the scene today, and there were several people from the crew of the movie "Weakness" at the same table, Song Zheng paid the most attention to Sandra Bullock, the heroine of the movie "Weakness".

Song Zheng can't remember who won the Best Actress in a Drama category at this year's Golden Globe Awards, but he still remembers that at the subsequent Oscars, Sandra Bullock won the actress crown with the movie "Weakness".

Regardless of whether the Golden Globes are the bellwether of the Oscars or not, judging from the degree of overlap between the two awards in the acting awards, Sandra Bullock is the most likely to win this year's Golden Globe Awards.

So when I watched several movies that were shortlisted for Best Actress in a Drama category, Song Zheng paid the most attention to this weakness.

In all fairness, "Weakness" is indeed a very sincere film, and it allows people to see the temperature of true feelings. Of course, this film also has its own inevitable but innocuous weaknesses.

Michael's life and experience seem to be vague, and the film does not explain it very clearly. In addition to knowing that he is an orphan living on the streets, Michael seems to be shrouded in a hazy mystery from the words of his birth mother and others. Thankfully, the director's focus is not on telling the ins and outs of Michael's big guy's background.

What the film needs to be rendered is a warm halo, not those gray clouds. In Song Zheng's view, deliberately avoiding the haze in reality and rendering the brilliance of life is the main task of this film.

After removing those complicated branches, the film is more concise and interesting. After watching the film, Song Zheng still felt a little unfinished.

The film feels like a haunting piece of music, making people want to be with them all the time and inject a dose of vitality into the boring life.

After reading this movie, and thinking about it carefully, Michael is nothing more than an "alternative" with a double nature. Whether it's his meeting with Leanne's family or his later success in rugby, it makes him stand out from the crowd, and Michael is undoubtedly the happiest compared to his fellow slum mates.

Michael's poor academic performance, his negligent crash, or his running away from home because he was upset with his hot mom and Ms. Sue's arrangements are all things that have gone through the clouds of smoke in real life in an instant. Because tolerance and recognition can eliminate all distances and barriers.

This may not be a film that completely nurtures dreams, but it is a film that contains love. Whether it is the dream of looking up or the family around him, it makes people who have seen this movie can't help but love.

Just like Michael did to his own halfway home, because he understands the importance of his family, he will protect his players on the field as if he were a family.

In the case that everything has blind spots, love will make these blind spots disappear, and make the people, things, and things that it supports solid and impermeable. Dreams come from love and are part of love.

Everyone should know what they want and what they love. After figuring this out, Michael's choice and hot mom's arrangement are the same on the surface, but it is already fundamentally different.

Understanding and freedom make love last longer and stronger, and that's what Leanne was all about, and it's the truth that Michael was able to understand in the end. People live in the world, they should love life, and they should also have dreams.

Michael's dream came true thanks to his own hard work, and he couldn't do without the support and help of Leanne's family.

Of course, Michael was already part of Leanne's family. This is the real "perfect world", it is even more beautiful than a fairy tale. It makes people trust the power of love more and gives them the strength to pursue their dreams.

Dreams are like a star crossing the sky and leaving a trail for people to follow in their lives.

"Weakness" went from an article to a book, and from a book to a movie. It's all about a true story, from the warmth of the world. Because of love, people can heal the cracks and create the greatest miracles.

Sandra Bullock, the veteran American sweet girl who became famous for starring in "The Speed of Life and Death" with Brother Kei, is now almost 50, and finally played the role of a mother in line with her age in the movie "Weakness", no longer selling cute, no longer pretending to be pure, and finally won her the Oscar for Best Actress with this film.

But it's different now, at least in Song Zheng's opinion, Zhang Jingchu's performance in "The Happiness Line Behind the Dark Clouds" is far stronger than Sandra Bullock, purely from the perspective of acting skills, Zhang Jingchu may still be immature, but with the addition of the role of Tiffany, the whole is still stronger than the opponent, and the only thing to worry about now is the attitude of those judges.

With the arrival of several heavyweight guests, the venue became more and more lively.

Song Zheng just watched at first, until the guests at the next table arrived, and those hard-core handsome Hollywood guys naturally couldn't get into his eyes, but the woman who was surrounded by several handsome young guys was not simple.

Kathryn Bigelow!

Cameron is known as the "King of Movies", and his "Terminator", "Alien" and "True Lies" are all blockbusters that have caused sensations around the world, especially 1997's "Titanic" and 2010's "Avatar" can be called the world's most popular films, the former won eleven Oscars, and the latter has a global box office of more than $2.5 billion, until Song Zheng's rebirth is the world's highest-grossing one.

Behind every successful man there is a woman who is silently giving, Bigelow is the woman behind Cameron, of course, once she was, and now, she has broken out of her own world.

Like many Hollywood films, Bigelow and Cameron's first encounter can be called love at first sight.

It was one day in 1989, and Cameron was filming a music video for the heroine to be Bigelow, in which she played a sexy cowgirl. When they first met, Cameron fell in love with the blonde beauty in front of him with an elegant temperament and a slender body. In Bigelow's view, Cameron is imposing and exudes a glamorous charm.

At that time, Cameron's love life was not satisfactory, and he had just ended his second marriage. And Bigelow is also in a period of confusion in her life, although she has completely transferred to the film industry and has even directed a film, but these are not universally recognized.

In the eyes of industry insiders, she can only be regarded as a "ticket player" at best, and only Bigelow himself knows how passionate she is about film.

For the sake of film, Bigelow gave up her early life as a painter. She studied fine arts at the San Francisco Art Institute, and at the age of 20 was awarded a scholarship to study independently at the Whitney Museum, where she had a separate studio and was often mentored by famous artists. Bigelow, who was already well-known in the painting circle, suddenly discovered that movies could express his heart better one day, so he entered Columbia University to study film.

After meeting Cameron, Bigelow discovers that there is another person in the world who is more obsessed with movies than her. They are all full of passion, fanaticism and persistence for movies, and the same mood and common language have brought them closer.

Years later, Cameron said: "She was my 'priceless treasure', we knew each other, we appreciated each other, and many times, before I even spoke, she knew it." ”

That fall, Cameron and Bigelow entered the marriage hall hand in hand. However, perhaps in response to the saying: one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers.

Because the two are too similar, they are very strong, and they "flashed" after less than two years together. One of Cameron's biographers said: "There are too many similarities between the two except for their genders, and Bigelow is Cameron's soulmate, and because of this, the two cannot live together for long." ”

The years finally confirmed that they were a pair of friends who "got better after the divorce", and after separation, they each climbed to the peak of their careers, and Bigelow was finally no longer the "king" woman, on the contrary, in the male-dominated film kingdom, she used a woman's perspective to shoot a "more man" sturdy work, and sent herself to the throne of the queen of Hollywood movies.

No matter how time passes, there is a moment in the history of cinema that will always be remembered. That was at the 82nd Academy Awards ceremony more than two months later, and that night was also known as "Bigelow Night" in the previous life.

Probably, Bigelow never dreamed that that night, her biggest competitor would be her ex-husband. In this Oscar selection, Cameron took his unparalleled masterpiece "Avatar" to meet Bigelow's "Bomb Disposal Unit".

The two sides are already evenly matched in the selection of the Golden Globe Awards and the Directors Guild of America Awards, so the showdown in the Oscar selection has aroused everyone's expectations.

Everybody is watching this show, it's a big competition between an ex-wife and an ex-husband, and you know, in the United States, the Oscar race is more exciting than the presidential election.

In the end, Bigelow won six awards for "Bomb Disposal Unit", including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Original Screenplay, changing the "rule" that no female director has won an award in the history of the Oscars in the past 82 years.

Cameron and Bigelow did not stage a life-and-death struggle scene together, on the contrary, when the Best Director Award was announced, Cameron immediately sent his blessing to Bigelow, he gently patted her on the shoulder, and smiled sincerely.

At that moment, it was believed that the two-year brief marriage between him and her gave birth to a lasting friendship, and they were fellow filmmakers who cherished each other.

What most people don't know is that after the divorce, Bigelow did not get along with Cameron in old age, on the contrary, when Bigelow's career entered a trough and his future was confused, Cameron was not only a friend she could confide in, but also gave her some wise advice, in fact, the "Bomb Disposal Unit" that made Bigelow win the award was suggested by Cameron.

Although the love between them has long since passed away with the wind, the friendship has lasted forever. Perhaps even Bigelow himself could not tell how much influence Cameron had on her.

For those who have watched it, no one can forget the huge energy she released in the film, and what she is best at directing is the hot scenes with loaded guns, bare-handed fighting, and blood splashing.

Bigelow not only rewrote Oscar history, she also told the world that women can make movies that are more masculine and bloody than men, and that strength, fighting, and war are not the preserve of men.

In Song Zheng's seriousness, Catherine Bigelow is obviously a ruthless character in the film industry, as a female director, her works are all "fierce films", from "Blood Night", "Apocalyptic Stormtide", "Devil's Game" to "Bomb Disposal Unit", just looking at the title, it makes people feel like a man.

Even her only film with a female protagonist, "Thunderbolt Blue Angel", is full of violence, suspense and thriller.

In Hollywood, the directorial circle has always been a male-dominated world, and they are in charge of the voice. And for a woman to fit in, she must be as talented, as strong and explosive as a man in order to be famous.

On set, Bigelow was seen wearing a large shirt and bib like a man, shouting at his throat, "CUT!"

In the filming, she did not flinch from any harsh weather and violent scenes, and was on the front line with the actors, never asking for extra attention because she was a woman.

Jeremy Renner, the actor of "Bomb Disposal Unit", who was popular with her, once said: "She has irresistible tenderness, but the toughness in her bones makes us feel scared, and we dare not talk back on the set, because what she says is always right." ”

Bigelow also expressed his choice to stay away from women's tastes, "I just prefer power. ”

If many male directors can make beautiful love movies, why can't female directors make action movies?

In fact, she herself never thought that a female director would have any problems with making a war scene with almost no female characters, and making this kind of film was very much to his appetite.

Bigelow was fascinated by power, and in this way, she plunged headlong into a man's world constructed with bullets, blood and fights, and she always insisted that cinema has nothing to do with gender.

There is no doubt that she did.

Now, with the addition of Song Zheng to the world, it is unknown whether Catherine Bigelow can become the first female director to win the Oscar like in her previous life, but even if Song Zheng's butterfly is too domineering and fanned off her Oscar trophy, this will not affect her greatness at all.

"You seem to be interested in Catherine?"

Song Zheng was recalling everything that happened at the Oscars in his previous life, when he suddenly heard De Niro say this.

"Of course, I love her films, and a lot of men can't do what she does!"

De Niro smiled: "That's right, if you only watch her movies, it's hard to imagine that the owner of those works will be a woman, but, Song, I'm afraid you're in big trouble tonight, "Bomb Disposal Unit" has received a very high rating!"

Song Zheng knew what De Niro was going to say, but he clearly remembered that this year's Golden Globe Awards finally gave "Avatar" the best director and the best drama film.

Compared with the Golden Globe Awards ceremony, Song Zheng was obviously more interested in the "Bigelow Night" more than two months later, or it would be more appropriate to call that night "Bigelow's Night of Revenge".
