"It's an amazing feeling to be here, and when I was invited to make this film, I didn't expect to win this award. ”

At the Golden Globe Awards ceremony, Robert De Niro was standing in the center of the stage, holding a golden trophy in his hand.

Just a minute ago, the moment the award presenters announced the winner of this year's Golden Globe Awards for Best Supporting Actor, Song Zheng clearly felt that Robert De Niro's whole body froze, probably he really didn't expect to get this trophy.

Not to mention Robert De Niro, even Song Zheng didn't expect the old man to win this award, although he interpreted the role of his father very well in "The Happiness Line Behind the Dark Clouds", but if he wants to win this award, the opponents that the old man has to face are also extremely strong, such as Christopher Waltz, his performance in "Inglourious Basterds" is also very good.

However, the final result has come out, and Robert De Niro is once again standing on this stage after more than 20 years after winning Best Actor in a Drama Series for "Raging Bull".

"The last time I stood here was in 1981, more than 20 years have passed, at my age, I should have retired and spent a leisurely life, but there has always been a voice in my heart saying to me, 'Robert, this is not the end', fortunately I followed my heart, and I had the opportunity to stand in this position once. ”

In 1981, Robert De Niro was crowned the Golden Globe and Oscar winner for the role of La Motta in "Raging Bull".

He put his heart and soul into shaping the role, training with the character's archetypal boxing champion Ramotta for a year until he decided he could compete professionally.

In the second half of the film. He gained 60 pounds in four months, and became a good story in the film industry. The film earned Robert De Niro an Oscar, and he was hailed as "a master of the soul of suffering".

The journey of a character seeking the American Dream from struggle, success, and glory to failure, downfall, and despair is displayed on the screen by De Niro with an epic and strong background, and the shocking effect he achieves is admirable.

His interpretation of La Motta's soul is like a hard stone, sharp edges and corners, paranoid, delusional, arrogant, and unyielding. He destroyed his opponents, his family, and his career, but he didn't fall and stood in the corner of the ring dripping blood.

The punch in the air after reciting the lines at the end makes every viewer who has watched this movie realize that this is a fighter for life with a calm heart, not a clown who was once brilliant and now shabby.

Robert De Niro has suffered a lot for this movie, everyone knows that as a boxer, the most important thing is to control weight, and the most important thing for an actor is to control his body, and when an actor wants to perform a boxer, especially a boxer from the peak to the fall, then he has to complete a devilish trip on his fat body, and Robert De Niro undoubtedly did it, perfectly.

From the drastic changes in Jack LaMotta's figure in the movie, you can see a dedicated Robert De Niro, this spirit is worth learning from every actor, this is the most classic and eternal Robert De Niro in the hearts of countless fans.

Compared with many actresses who deliberately pretend to be ugly in order to win the Oscar, Song Zheng believes that Robert De Niro is more worthy of respect.

The second is Robert De Niro's grasp of various boxing movements, which is more difficult than losing weight and gaining weight, because without a certain amount of practice, there is an essential difference between an ordinary person's boxing and a professional boxer's boxing.

Hollywood tough guy Stallone once acted in a football movie, in which Stallone acted as the goalkeeper, and there was a pounce on the ball, but Stallone was very lame and unprofessional because he had not undergone professional training.

From this, you can imagine what kind of hard work Robert De Niro has put in, for such an actor, people have great reverence, this is the real idol.

Another thing worth commendating is Robert De Niro's acting skills in dealing with various feelings, he calmly grasps the character's mentality in each relationship, and uses his acting skills to play it.

The jealousy of his wife, the distrust of his friends, the contempt for his opponents, and the feelings for his brothers, Robert De Niro handled them almost perfectly, although his expression was a little exaggerated, but Song Zheng felt that it was a coincidental performance, because although this performance was exaggerated, it gave the movie a certain tension, making the movie look ups and downs, fluctuating, although this method is very clumsy, but it has an unexpected effect, it can only be said that Robert De Niro is a genius, a genius among actors.

Now, more than 20 years later, Robert De Niro is once again standing on the stage of the Golden Globe Awards ceremony, and the old man's excitement can be imagined.

"I want to thank my director Song Zheng, he is a real genius, I am lucky to meet him, and this luck has always accompanied my acting career, so I said that I am very lucky, at this age, I can still meet such an excellent director. ”

Listening to Robert De Niro's acceptance speech, many people at the scene were stunned, this old man actually put Song Zheng and those famous gods in the same position.

Because of Robert De Niro's acting career, there are several directors who can't avoid it, Martin Scorsese, Francesco Ford Coppola, and Sergio Leon, all three of whom are well-known all over the world, and it is they who fully tap De Niro's acting talent.

For example, "Bad Streets", released in 1973, can be considered the first gangster film in the orthodox sense of the word between Martin Scorsese and Robert De Niro, and it also established the long journey of cooperation between the two as golden CPs.

In the movie, Lao Ma tries to restore the generation of the beaten generation on the streets of Italy in his childhood, and tells the story with a distinctive film language, and Robert De Niro's life in the film is erratic, running around, and meaningless.

This kind of decadent pain is particularly thought-provoking under De Niro's exquisite interpretation, different from the slightly romantic gangster style of "The Godfather", whether it is Scorsese or De Niro, they are doing their best to show the most real street life, without embellishment, without rendering, the documentary imprint is very obvious, and this film undoubtedly makes Robert De Niro sharp.

Robert De Niro's superb acting skills in "Bad Streets" won him the best opportunity of his life, that is, he was selected by the great director Francis Ford Coppola to star in the sequel to "The Godfather", perhaps the greatest film in film history.

The first part of "The Godfather" is too dazzling, not only in all technical aspects of the impeccable, in the core of the story is unfathomable, the protagonist in the film is played by Hollywood's most prestigious acting school representative Marlon Brando, the elderly Vidocq Lyons gestures, not angry but mighty, full of drama, is respected as an actor's biblical performance.

With such a halo to shoot "The Godfather 2", the pressure can be imagined, whether it is Coppola, El Pacino, or Robert De Niro.

First of all, the time span, pattern, and depth of "The Godfather 2" have taken a step up compared to the first part, which Coppola has completed his ambitions, Al Pacino and the first godfather have opposite acting paths, and also performed their own role charm, Robert De Niro is undoubtedly the most pressured, because he wants to play the young Vidocq Lyon, which limits him to have to copy Marlon Brando, and there is no other way.

This kind of high restriction did not stump De Niro, but shocked the world film industry with his vivid and unsuitable methodological acting skills, and watched this film, which made the audience extremely convinced that the young godfather, the young Marlon Brando is none other than him, especially De Niro's imitation of the godfather's meticulous small actions, small habits, is really exquisite, unbeatable.

With the film "The Godfather 2", Robert De Niro won the Oscar for the first time, and since then, he has been on the rise.

If you want to find a film comparable to the "Godfather Series", the closest is undoubtedly "Once Upon a Time in America" made by the great director Sergio Leon.

However, due to various reasons, the film "Once Upon a Time in America" was not as popular as "The Godfather" back then, both in terms of market performance and word-of-mouth were criticized, and Sergio Leon ended up depressed.

This is an epic work spanning nearly 40 years, the film is based on the gangster character "Noodle" played by Robert De Niro, which not only shows the grievances and hatreds between the gangsters for decades, but also reproduces the social landscape of the entire United States.

"Noodles" from an ignorant teenager who doesn't know the world, to a gang leader who covers the sky with one hand, and finally to a lonely old man who has no desires, Robert De Niro has changed his temperament and walked leisurely through his life, so tragic and touching.

If the films "Bad Streets" and "Taxi Driver" are Lao Ma's up-and-coming restoration of "Italian" neighborhoods, the film "Goodfellas" released in 1990 is a complete masterpiece.

"Goodfellas" is a funny, cruel, meticulous and charming gangster film, and it is also recognized by countless fans, the most enjoyable gangster movie.

Robert De Niro took the lead in this movie, playing the vicious and sleek gangster in the film, at this time De Niro's praised methodological acting skills have been perfected, more improvised, and Joe Pesci, Leliotta, Paolo Sovino's group drama battle, extremely exciting, three minutes of a small laugh, five minutes of a big laugh, is the general feeling of the audience who have watched this film, due to Lao Ma's consistent smooth narrative technique, Robert De Niro's acting skills have been uninterrupted, making the audience feel that being a gangster is even more enjoyable than the president of the United States, this is De Niro in the film to give people the most intuitive viewing experience.

It can be said that it is the support of these three great directors that has made Robert De Niro what he is now, and these three great directors are all gods who enjoy a pivotal position in the world film industry without exception.

Now, Robert De Niro actually juxtaposes Song Zheng with these three great gods, and people can't be surprised.

Although Song Zheng has established his status in Hollywood with "True Lies", "Source Code", and "The Happiness Line Behind the Dark Clouds", it is still incredible that a Chinese director who has just passed his first year has been so respected by Robert De Niro.

What the hell is he?

Song Zheng couldn't help but be stunned at the moment, why did this old man suddenly come up with such a sentence?

On stage, Robert De Niro's acceptance speech was not over: "I know that saying this may make some people feel offended by Martin, but this is what I really think at the moment, only those who have really worked with him can experience this feeling, Song, he is really a young man with infinite possibilities, I believe that his future must be worth everyone's expectations!"

Song Zheng was praised by the old man so much that he couldn't sit still.

Fortunately, Robert De Niro's acceptance speech was almost complete: "Finally, I would like to thank all the actors and crew in the crew, it is because of their efforts that the audience can enjoy such a wonderful work, thank my wife, my children, they gave me the motivation to move forward as an old man, thank you very much! Thank you to everyone who likes this movie!"

De Niro raised the trophy again and gestured before stepping off the stage and returning to his seat.

"Robert, you're going to roast me on the fire!"

Robert De Niro shrugged his shoulders and said with a funny smile: "You know I did it on purpose, but there is one sentence, I am very serious, you are a genius, but unfortunately, I think you seem to lack a little motivation to move forward, what I just did was to give you some pressure!"

I'll go!

It can still be like this!

The award ceremony continued, and the next award to be presented was Best Screenplay, which was nominated for "District 9", "In the Clouds", "Bomb Disposal Unit", "Shameless Basterds", and Song Zheng's "The Line of Happiness Behind the Dark Clouds".

Regardless of the finished film effect, judging from the excitement of the script alone, Song Zheng feels that the biggest competitor is "In the Clouds", which is the least famous among the five nominated films.

This is a story that feels cold, not that there is no temperature, but when the temperature keeps rising, the sudden cooling catches people off guard, and this kind of big air-style drop comes from the harsh life. It's just that this work is cold and mixed with a lot of warmth, which can at least enlighten people, not be confused.

The story is about a company layoff expert named Ryan Bingham, whose job is to fly around to solve problems for companies around the world, and his goal in life is to accumulate 10 million miles by plane and become a platinum member.

But Ryan's "on the road" lifestyle is threatened by newcomers, and a college graduate named Natalie invents an Internet-based remote conferencing system that makes layoffs easy and hassle-free, and makes Ryan's work status seem unnecessary.

As the saying goes, Ryan's new mission is to familiarize Natalie with the work environment, and his flight journey finally has a less harmonious partner.

But in the end, because after a layoff job, a layoff woman jumped off a bridge and committed suicide, which made Natalie re-examine her work, and at the same time, Natalie resigned because of the reason for breaking up with her boyfriend. At the same time, Ryan's letter of recommendation also flew to the company where Natalie was going.

There is another clue in the story, Ryan meets his dream sweetheart, Alex, who is also a trapeze artist, at the airport, and their romantic relationship slowly unfolds in the chance encounters at the airport.

With Ryan's sister's marriage as a climax of their story, Ryan gradually changed his original thoughts in it, and gradually felt how important love is to a person.

Unfortunately, Alex is a woman who already has a family, and when Ryan runs to her house in the middle of a speech, it all comes to light that Ryan is just an extramarital lover to Alex.

When Ryan actually got the platinum card, he suddenly realized that this thing didn't mean much to him. He also needs love, and he doesn't want to be lonely.

It's hard to imagine that a work like "In the Clouds" can appear in the midst of a turbulent year in the wake of the global financial crisis, and it feels like a hero in troubled times.

At a time of economic recovery, the film directly stabbed at people's most heartache - unemployment, and also used the identity of a professional company layoff expert to illustrate this topic.

Cleverly, the film does not seriously entangle the topic of unemployment, but borrows the person Ryan, a layoff expert, to explore the pain and confusion experienced when discovering a turning point.

The vague change in heart has to give this movie a "dull" symbol, but fortunately, this work will refresh the audience from time to time, although it is not as exciting as special effects films, which makes people nervous.

The lottery guests have already come to the stage, and Song Zheng, who originally thought that he could keep his heart like water, suddenly became completely uncontrollable nervous, and it turned out that he didn't really care.

In the center of world entertainment, the center of world cinema, defeating those Americans who think they are high above and winning a trophy, even if it is a very light trophy like the best screenplay, for Song Zheng, it is also a stroke worth writing about in his life.
