Chapter 222: Tragic Hero, Me? (1st Update)

Every year, the awards season is also a time when all kinds of controversies fill the media pages, and there are constant wars and controversies.

Regarding the final results of this year's Golden Globe Awards, the media and fans are a little satisfied, but also dissatisfied. There are several awards filled with different controversial voices, like Best Actor in a Drama Series, and "Gladiator" fans have reason to shout, "Russell Crowe is better suited for Best Actor". Some people think that the veteran actor Tom Hanks deserves his name, but there are no surprises, and they think that he can have it or not, because he really has no shortage of Golden Globe actors. But the Yahoo user survey shows that in the survey of the most suitable actors, the proportion of the right side of Christmas Chen's handsome face suddenly exceeded 58%, and in this audience survey, Chen Tiandu, who was unsuccessful, became the most suitable candidate for the best actor.

Yahoo Entertainment layout analysis, "This voting index soared after Chen Tiandu lost the Golden Globe Awards, soaring from the original 32% to 58% in just a few hours." opened the official website of the matrix and found that a large number of fans spontaneously gathered and voted for him to express their indignation at the Golden Globe Awards...... In other words, it is a vote of pathos and sympathy. More detailed figures show that the proportion of male and female fans who vote is mostly female, and there are many male fans accounting for 41%. The age group accounts for 56% of the age group between 18~25 years old. ”

They also helped Chen Tiandu carefully analyze all the fan ratios, and recommended Chen Tiandu's next movie, which should make some young works to please fans, and also ensure that the box office is good.

In response to this behavior, some rival media ridiculed, "Yahoo is really heartbroken for Christmas Chen, it's really big!" Good! Person! ”

The same situation happened at the "Best Director Award", which was also dominated by sad votes.

It is also the reason why Chen Tiandu has made the official website of the matrix too prosperous. Let his fans gather too high. At the slightest call, a large area was immediately dispatched. Anyway, it's just a matter of clicking on the page to vote, and it's a matter of effort. Then in terms of the voting ratio for the best director, he actually crushed Steven, and even criticized Chen Tiandu's compatriot Li case.

This move of fans is unintentional, but there is a kind of posture that does not make Chen Tiandu a tragic hero and does not give up. Anyway, he also won two awards, although the significance of the three nominations is indeed a little weaker than the three nominations lost, but it is not too bad...... It's a real headache.

Such a popular fan site has attracted the attention of the organizers of the MTV Movie Awards. They contact the matrix. External links to the official website of the MTV Movie Awards to increase popularity.

Because it's very interesting, the Golden Popcorn Award is completely up to the audience, whoever has more fans wins the award, they don't care about artistry or word-of-mouth and the like, winning fans to win popcorn is similar to the meaning of the collective action of a large number of fans on the official website of the matrix.

It's just a trivial matter, Peck made the decision and agreed to this cooperation, and the two sides linked to each other on their respective websites.

Chen Tiandu has unwillingness in his heart, which comes from the future time and space. The film, directed by Martin Scorsese, was an instant hit. And both word-of-mouth and appreciable. Chen Tiandu's version of "Infernal Affairs" is also higher than Martin's version.

To say that "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is better than "Infernal Affairs", he will never admit it. There is no first, it's just the first time that Americans have seen this kind of Chinese kung fu film with a fresh picture, and any artistic connotation is blown out. Because "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has already hit the box office in Asia, which is a fact. Therefore, even if Chen Tiandu wins the award, he will not have the slightest idea of taking advantage, because this is what "Infernal Affairs" deserves.

So now a warm-up game of the Golden Globe Awards can't pass, the Oscars ...... Hanging.

In the final analysis, it is because he is Chen Tiandu, not Martin Scorsese.

But facts are facts, and no matter what fans say, it won't change the outcome. In fact, most of the Hollywood media and newspapers on the best director award are also mostly congratulations and praise, Li case can win the award is not an upset, in fact, the four nominees only Chen Tiandu is the underdog, in the betting company's betting market, his odds of winning the award are the highest, almost twice as much as the Li case.

The media newspapers in the United States are reporting, and the newspapers in China, Hong Kong, Baodao and other places are even more reporting.

But there is quite a kind of fighting in the ring, which is not harmonious. The media on the island reported on the Li case vigorously, while the media on the other side of the coast focused more on "Infernal Affairs". Because they didn't understand "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" but understood "Infernal Affairs", this is an indisputable fact.

Moreover, Chen Tiandu holds Chinese nationality, and Li is a Chinese, to put it mildly, commonly known as yellow skin and white heart, and the film is for foreigners, this reason further aggravates the sense of identity of mainland audiences.

However, the Li case has also gained a lot of money, "Ming Pao" said that "the Li case is a bridge between Chinese directors and the East, and Chen Tiandu is the greatest hope for Chinese directors in the future!" ”

commented on several works of the two in detail, obviously Li Case accepted more American culture, and Chen Tiandu also has pure American films, but many oriental philosophies have been added to his works, which is naturally a bonus given by "The Matrix". He is also good at movies of various themes, shooting blockbusters with good box office appeal, unlimited prospects, and great money.

"Oriental Daily" has more energy to evaluate Chen Tiandu's side business, and now it seems that the side business is more profitable than the main business.

After the Golden Globe Awards ceremony, the official also sent duì, but Chen Tian did not attend. After taking Kate home to recuperate, she was not in a hurry to return to work, because January 26 would be the Lunar New Year in a few days. He also remembers inviting a large group of people to his house to host a food party.

Chen Tiandu already has experience in holding this kind of thing. Mixed in the United States, how can you not participate in the pie. And he is not the kind of crazy pie duì, big hemp and small umbrellas fly together, just a very pure and pure family food pie, not outsourced to the pie duì company, mostly do-it-yourself, very delicious food, but has cultivated a few loyal fans.

Catherine Zeta-Jones came with her husband as promised, Golden Globe actor Tom Hanks brought a family over to eat a big family this time, Fa Ge actually didn't want to participate in the Golden Globe Awards this time, he was going to accompany his wife, but he was pulled over by Chen Tiandu. Anyway, they are all filming, and by the way, it won't take much time to attend the Golden Globe Awards. Pai duì also appeared with his wife. There are also a number of main creators of "Speed" and "Hacker", so that the entire lineup of Pai Duì is no less than the Golden Globe Award.

Megan, who was liberated by the school holidays, is also extra active today, and there are children making noise from time to time. It's all up to Victor. There was no Kate to help this time. The number of guests increased several times. Chen Tiandu felt more relaxed.

There are many differences in culture and living habits between China and the United States, which are also reflected in how to hold parties.

In China, whoever invites guests to hold a party, must entertain the guests well, not to mention eating and drinking, and it can't be bad. There must be something left, otherwise you will lose more and look stingy and unenthusiastic. Chinese hospitable. I'd rather nibble on steamed buns later, and take out the good things at home for the guests to eat. It's all about face. What you want is to fight for breath.

However, the Americans let the guests bring their own food and drink, according to the Chinese's point of view, what kind of system is this, if you are poor, don't do it.

People who have lived in the United States are no strangers to this kind of party where guests bring their own food and drink, and they are even accustomed to it. This kind of party also has a proper noun called "Potluck". This is not only a typical form of party held by Americans, but also the most popular way of party among Chinese people in the United States.

For this kind of party, the host provides the venue. A snack, a drink or a dessert after a meal. Each guest brought a piece of food that they had made themselves. I really don't know how to do it or don't have time to do it. You can buy food, fruits, or wine. Before the party, everyone can also negotiate the type of things each person will bring: salad, meat, dessert, drinks, etc. to avoid uneven distribution.

The host of such a party will not be too stressed to prepare the meal, and can invite many people to attend. And the more people who participate, the more diverse the food. Everyone shares food together. There is a lot of variety for everyone.

Chinese pay a lot of attention to eating. People take food as their day, and eating is the key in life. Spend a lot of time preparing three meals a day. Most people come home from work and their main activities are busy cooking and eating.

Americans are mostly reluctant to spend time on cooking and eating, eating relatively simply. Save time to develop a hobby or spend time with your family and do something fun together. Americans are also particularly reluctant to spend time waiting for meals, so various fast food restaurants such as McDonald's, KFC, Pizza, Arby, Subway (Subway) are everywhere. And there is a special "drive-through" channel, people in the car do not need to get out of the car, look at the menu on the big sign on the side of the road, use the guò walkie-talkie to order food, and then drive to the first window to swipe the card to pay the money, and then drive to the second window to get food, it is really a veritable fast food.

In the United States, even housewives who don't go to work don't cook every day, and many only cook 2-3 times a week. There are many times when the whole family eats out or buys takeout.

To host this kind of party, the host does not have the burden of cooking, so it can be held often, or in turns. So there are a lot of parties in the Americans. Each guest brings a dish, and the result is a huge banquet with a wide variety of food, and each person can taste dozens of other people's dishes.

The most important thing is that eating and drinking are not the main thing at the party, the purpose of this kind of party is to give everyone a platform for communication and entertainment, old friends get together, meet new friends, and no pressure party makes the whole atmosphere relaxed and happy.

This kind of gathering is not limited to relatives and friends, or between friends, and even spreads to other areas. For example, gatherings between colleagues in the workplace often take this form to connect with each other outside of busy work. Even during work hours, everyone celebrates Thanksgiving, Christmas, etc., together in a very easy way.

Entering the local customs, Chen Tiandu is also more integrated into it, so it seems more relaxed. All he had to do was make a few of his signature dishes, and he didn't have to worry about anything else.

Tom Hanks immediately said that next time he would also change it to his house to hold a party at home. It's a pity that he lives in Concord, and not so many people are willing to drive that far to get a meal.

After the pie was over, everyone was full of praise for his food.

In particular, the children especially liked his food, ate it well, and praised it with their mouths puffed out. It's really strange that this kind of trivial matter actually made Chen Tiandu's vanity satisfied Cheng dù bigger than the Golden Globe Awards! (To be continued......)
