When the next Best Picture in the Singing and Dancing / Comedy category was announced, Wang Zijun was directly speechless, and the low-budget "Goodbye Girl" won the award again. This movie won three awards in the inspirational category: Best Picture, Best Actor and Best Actress, and is a well-deserved darling of this year's Golden Globe Awards.

Later, the Best Picture Award in the drama category, "The Shawshank Redemption" failed again, and the trophy was taken away by "Turning Point". Wang Zijun was helpless at the same time, and he was full of slander in his heart, how did this movie get mixed into the drama category? Isn't it a ballet musical?

Well, ballet is just the main line and embellishment, and people win with the plot.

"Turning Point" won the best film in the drama category, but no one questioned that this film caused a sensation in American society last year, no less than "Star Wars", but it ignited the enthusiasm of Americans for dance, so that the number of American ballet school enrollment increased for several consecutive years.

In the competition for best feature film, Wang Zijun lost. Lucas was also defeated, Steven. Spielberg was also defeated.

But they have a more fierce battlefield, that is, the Golden Globe Award for Best Director!

The five nominees for Best Director are George W. Lucas, Star Wars, Steven. Spielberg, The Third Kind of Contact, by Herbert. Ross, "Turning Point", Sidney. Lumet's "Horse" (another translation is "Equine").

After the introduction of the five biggest director nominations, Wang Zijun was a little depressed Sidney. Poitier said, "Look, that guy has the same name as you." ”

Wang Zijun is talking about Sidney, the director of "Horse". Lumet, who had already won a Best Supporting Actor in this film, just won Sidney. Poitier's Best Supporting Actor was snatched away. I have to say, it's really a rival.

Richard, who snatched Sidney's Best Supporting Actor. Burton, also a Hollywood superstar, Elizabeth. Taylor's husband who got together and separated. Therefore, Sidney was robbed of Best Supporting Actor by Richard, whether it is acting or fame. Burton is taller than Sidney.

Sidney. Poitier laughed: "The director with my namesake will definitely be tragic. ”

Wang Zijun also laughed, of course it will be tragic, is it possible that he can still kill himself and Lucas and others and win the best director?

"The winner of the Best Director at this year's Golden Globe Awards is ......"

Wang Zijun took a deep breath and looked at George. Lucas, the guy was watching the award presenters intently, waiting for the final name to be announced. Look at Spielberg again, this super director, now his face is very bad, his film has won eight nominations, but now he has not won any of them, and the best director is his last hope.

"Zachary. Wang "The Shawshank Redemption"! ”

The audience was thunderous, Lucas just smiled at Wang Zijun with a disappointed expression, and Spielberg was holding back the fire, his "Third Kind of Contact" was actually wiped out at the Golden Globe Awards.

Wang Zijun hid the excitement in his heart and walked steadily onto the podium.

The one who was invited to present the award was a 60-year-old Hollywood director, who was afraid that after shaking hands with Wang Zijun, he sent the trophy to Wang Zijun's hand and said: "Young man, you are the first Asian to win the Golden Globe Award for Best Director, you have set a record, congratulations!" ”

Saying this, the film industry people who participated in the award ceremony below burst into applause again, and countless cameras flashed at the same time, recording this historical moment with the shutter and lens at the moment when Wang Zijun raised the trophy.

Wang Zijun stood in front of the microphone, smiling, and waited for the silence below before he spoke.

But as soon as he spoke, the people below were all stupid.

Because they couldn't understand what Wang Zijun said.

Yes, Wang Zijun's acceptance speech was in Chinese.

"I want to say, I came, I did it. Asians can do it, Chinese can do it, you can do it too. I hope that in Hollywood, on the stage of film festivals and film awards around the world, there will be more Asian faces, and more Chinese will hold trophies. In the future, audiences in the Western world will see more Asian films, Chinese films, and understand Asian culture and Chinese culture. Thank you! ”…,

Wang Zijun changed his hippie smile from the past, and bowed very solemnly.

When Wang Zijun was about to come down, the people below realized that he had finished speaking, and they all applauded kindly.

In their opinion, this Chinese kid may be too excited to express his emotions in his native language by giving an acceptance speech.

"Congratulations, Zachary!"

"Well done, young man!"

"Mr. Wang, I have a good script, I don't know if you are interested in cooperating."

“……”

At the subsequent champagne dinner, from time to time, people who didn't know each other came up to talk to Wang Zijun, some came to congratulate, some came to cooperate with him, and some simply wanted to get to know him. Wang Zijun's face was almost numb with a smile, but fortunately, those reporters were still very well-behaved, just taking pictures, and they didn't come up to interview.

"Hi Wang, congratulations!" An old man in his fifties and sixties came over with champagne.

Wang Zijun quickly remembered that this was Herbert, the director of "Goodbye Girl". Rose, like him, Herbert. Rose was also the big winner tonight.

"Congratulations too, Mr. Ross." Wang Zijun raised his glass and said.

"Cheers!" Herbert. Ross smiled and touched the cup with Wang Zijun.

The clinking of glasses, recorded by countless cameras on the sidelines, made headlines in the entertainment coverage of the United States in the following days. The film of the two, one of the five nominations won three awards, and one of the four nominations won three awards, this clinking glass scene is called: The two directors win the division?

Asia that received the news is also boiling, Asia's first Golden Globe Award for Best Director!

The Hong Kong and Taiwan media were very excited, and some movie theaters took out the already painted "The Shawshank Redemption" for screening again, and the box office was able to tie with the new films released at the same time.

In Southeast Asia, "The Shawshank Redemption" was fully released, and the box office was red all the way.

In Japan, Wang Zijun caused a sensation this time. Their proud director Akira Kurosawa won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film two years ago with a Japanese-Russian co-production "Desuuzala", but he didn't win the Best Director!

Some Japanese film industry figures and media shouted that Wang Zijun's award this time was a counterattack by Asian directors, and the momentum of celebration made those who didn't know thought that Wang Zijun was a Japanese.

There are also some people who are related to the current downturn in the Japanese film market, so as to criticize Japanese filmmakers for not wanting to make progress, and they are actually surpassed by the Chinese. Back then, Kurosawa could win the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film with his native "Rashomon", but now he has to work with the Russians to win this award.

The last one is a Japanese right-winger, clamoring everywhere to boycott Wang Zijun's film from entering the Japanese film market. and also took out Wang Zijun's directorial debut "Bloody Lonely City" to talk about things, claiming that Wang Zijun scandalized the image of Japan in the movie and was the enemy of the Japanese people.

Of course, it was more Japanese studios who took the opportunity to contact D&T Films to bring in "The Shawshank Redemption".

However, in the end, it was Saburo Takahashi's Asian film distribution company that got the copy.

As for the reason, do you need to say?

Not only Japanese studios, but also European filmmakers called D&T Films one after another after the news that Wang Zijun won the best director.

The Golden Globe Awards ceremony is over, and it's almost April.

The Golden Globes have always been the bellwether of the Oscars, and they only began to be held shortly after the Golden Globe Awards. However, this year's Academy Awards are a little late, and the devil knows how to run to July to present the awards, you must know that last year's Oscars were awarded at the end of March.

The list of nominees for the Oscars has not been released, but the shortlist for the Cannes Film Festival has been announced. Frank's hard work was not in vain, he took great pains to bring "The Shawshank Redemption" to the film festival, and now it has been successfully selected for the main competition unit and received multiple nominations. …,

Wang Zijun's fame has once again become famous in Europe and the United States, and he is known as an Asian director on the same level as Akira Kurosawa.

"Zachary. Wang's movies are always unforgettable, whether it's "The Ghost Love" or "The Shawshank Redemption", he is extremely good at grasping the audience's emotions and moving you in the most subtle places. There is no doubt that in terms of fame, he is now a world-class director. —The New York Times.

"Compared to Zachary. Wang's two Golden Globe winning films, I prefer his "Food Truck". He pioneered a whole new style of action comedy, Jack. Cheng's iconic fight show is hilarious and unforgettable. Especially the fight in the castle at the end is a classic scene in action movies, and I have watched this performance more than 20 times. The more you dig into it, the more you can discover the director's unique mind, and those who know something about martial arts will have a deeper experience. Personally, I think that "Food Truck" is a film that can be compared to Bruce. Lee's kung fu film "Enter the Dragon". - "Black Belt".

Various media have reported on Wang Zijun, but an article from the scientific magazine "Popular Electronics" once again pushed Wang Zijun to the forefront.

The author of this article was originally informed of the "father of the personal computer" Henry Brown. Roberts left MITS and went to his hometown to interview Roberts.

The reporter was going to interview Roberts about his entrepreneurial journey and his views on the PC market. As a result, Roberts inadvertently said Wang Zijun, and in the repeated questioning of reporters, it was determined that it was the Hollywood Zachary. King.

Roberts said that Wang Zijun was his investor, and he initially decided to develop a personal computer because he was inspired by Wang Zijun. In Roberts' words, "It was the king who ignited the spark of my mind and gave me the source of my creation."

"A few years ago, when Roberts announced the success of his Altair invention in Popular Electronics, thousands of computer enthusiasts made a pilgrimage to MITS to visit. But today we were surprised to find that the real father of the personal computer was actually the best director in Asia. ”
