Chapter 72: "Hackers" resumes work
Chen Tiandu may have forgotten jì, but the media, fans and filmmakers will not forget jì, that is, the 56th Golden Globe Awards will announce the list of nominees.
The Golden Globe Awards is the third most important award in the American film and television industry, ranking behind the Academy Awards and Emmy Awards, and as the first film and television award issued every year, it has always been regarded as the vane of the Academy Awards. This year's Golden Globe Film Awards, as well as the 71st Oscars, which will also be held, can be said to be full of gunsmoke, and this year is not a good year to rush for awards.
Not to mention "Saving Private Ryan", "Shakespeare's Love History" is simply a big killer, both in terms of content and subject matter, it is the most suitable for the Oscars, and the word-of-mouth has also exploded all the way, and it is the hottest in the eyes of the media. "The Sixth Sense" is also good, but unfortunately Chen Tiandu's qualifications are too shallow, and the subject matter is a horror film, which is not favored by others, including himself.
In fact, he forgot about time and didn't care at all, in his mind, the greatest affirmation and praise came from the audience, they liked the movie, cried for it and went crazy for it, this is his greatest pursuit and enjoyment. This is reflected in the fact that the film has won a huge box office with very little publicity, and it all depends on the word-of-mouth evaluation of fans; In second place is the Academy Awards, which is an honor that all filmmakers aspire to.
And the Golden Globe Awards, although it is the third largest film and television award in the United States, Chen Tiandu does not think too much about it.
The reason is that the Golden Globe Awards judges only have more than 90 foreign journalists, which is much less than the more than 6,000 at the Oscars, which means that the influence of personal preferences will be magnified, and the possibility of black-box operation is also high.
It's not that you buy awards and nominations directly, but "canvassing", and the film company will give some small favors to the judges, such as invitations to dinner receptions and champagne bouquets. This is also what public relations has to do, giving away some peripheral accessories of the movie, not to get special care, but to be treated relatively fairly.
The small favors are almost limited to this, and it is not the law that is most heavily regulated, but the journalists and paparazzi, and it is clear who gave whom what benefits. In 1981, Pia Zadoya's husband paid for a trip to Las Vegas, a historical event that continues to be a major criticism of the Golden Globes.
But after all, it is the third largest film and television award in the United States, and the institutions and judges naturally will not go too far and run counter to the media, otherwise it will not have any authority and importance, and it will not attract attention and be hailed as the vane of the Oscars. If you want to maintain this affirmation, the Golden Globes also need to affirm good movies.
Originally, I wasn't looking forward to it, but being made such a fuss by Kate made Chen Tiandu look forward to it.
Even if it can't be compared with Oscar, it's a zero breakthrough. Not to mention China, in the whole of Asia, how many people have won the Golden Globe Award?
"Hopefully." Unconsciously a little nervous, Kate leaned tighter.
Since 1996, when HFPA signed a new broadcast deal with NBC, the Golden Globes have been on NBC television. With the guidance of the host, one picture after another was played on the TV. There are a total of 15 film awards at the Golden Globe Awards, including Best Feature Film, Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Actor and Actress in a Feature Film, Best Musical/Comedy, Best Actor and Actress in Musical/Comedy Category, Best Supporting Actor and Best Supporting Actress; Best Screenplay, Best Score, Best Song, Best Foreign Language Film, Best Animation, and Jack Nicholson's Lifetime Achievement Award.
Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Actress have all gone through one by one, and the opportunities are getting fewer and fewer. When it came to Best Supporting Actor, the name "The Sixth Sense" finally appeared, and the two were finally relieved when an excerpt of Haley Joe Osmon's highlights appeared on the screen.
βYesγβ Hearing Haley's name, Kate immediately cheered happily, "A nomination, should we call Haley to congratulate him?" She looked up at Chen Tiandu.
Chen Tiandu smiled, "Don't worry, I'll talk about it when it's over." "Haley's expression is indeed impeccable, especially as a child, and the sadness that is so deep that it is almost carved into the bone marrow is not so easy to express.
Kett nodded, continued to watch TV, and when the nomination for the best possible screenplay award was announced, he almost held his breath in the room, and his eyes stared at the TV screen slightly. Predictive reviews in media newspapers, the scripts of "The Sixth Sense" and "Saving Private Ryan" were all praised as "rare", the former is "exquisitely structured", "the lines are wonderful", "there is warmth in the horror", etc., and the latter is a classic war film, not to mention. The two award-winning scripts are both written by Chen Tiandu, and there is a high probability of winning the award.
ββ¦β¦ The shortlist for Best Screenplay in the Film category is: Marc Norman, Tom Stoppard "Shakespeare in Love", Kresmas Chan "Saving Private Ryan", Todd Sorenz "Are You Happy", Andrew Nickel "Truman's World", Kresmas Chan "The Sixth Sense"! β
"Great, two, no, three, congratulations."
Chen Tian didn't say anything, just kissed her on the lips, let out a long breath and said, "You don't need to look at the rest anymore, that's the end of it." There are too many variables in the Golden Globe Awards, and even Spielberg does not dare to say that he will win the award completely. Your watch should be worthy of a Best Supporting Actress nomination. But it doesn't matter, our main PR direction is the Oscars, and there should still be a chance. Call Haley, I guess he's asleep. β
Kate picked up the phone and was about to call when. Chen Tiandu's mobile phone rang suddenly, and he took it to see that it was a text message from Charlize: "Director, congratulations on being nominated for the Golden Globe Award." Where are you now, are you going to come out and celebrate, with Kate? β
Chen Tiandu subconsciously glanced at Kate, deleted the text message with a little weakness, and replied to her while pressing the key position of the mobile phone, "Thank you, we just finished it." The mobile phone he used for communication has long since been replaced by a regular mobile phone. After all, it's not like holding an artifact mobile phone all the time, no need to charge, many functions, it's too alternative, even if Chen Tian is not worried about being curiously asked, but if someone steals it, he will have to cry to death.
"Wow, you're so enthusiastic~~" Charlize replied with another text message a moment later, "Is there any fancy or position?" I've heard that Oriental people are very well-behaved, and they have to turn off the lights when they go to bed, how does she feel? β
This was a little too enthusiastic, but Chen Tiandu still replied, "You underestimate Oriental people too much, there is a type called 'Crazy people who look like Wen Bin on the outside are more scary', obviously referring to me." You don't have to turn off the lights, but it's a pity that you need a video recorder or you can record it yourself and enjoy it repeatedly. As for the body|position... All kinds of positions, but she likes to be on them, and I prefer to be passive. β
"Haha, I really didn't expect you to have this hobby, and you also thought about taking selfies when you did it, could it be that men in control of cameras naturally like this."
"Well, life is life, work is work, and I have always been very separated. But if the work is too intense, life still needs a little more stimulation. β
"Then I'll give you an HD video recorder next time."
This is already Chi Guoguo's teasing, but who doesn't like a man, seeing that Kate had hung up the phone, he didn't dare to talk more and quickly ended, "Thank you, I have to rest, see you in the crew after the year." Putting down the phone, he asked Kate, "How's it going?" β
Haley was already asleep, and his mom answered the phone, ready to surprise him tomorrow. In fact, they would prefer you to call. Kate put her arms around him again. As soon as she said that, the phone rang again, and she said, "It's the person who congratulates you, answer the phone quickly." β
"The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, and I have a good mentality." Chen Tiandu turned over lazily, grabbed the phone, and when he saw that it was Spielberg's phone, he quickly made a silent gesture to Kate, "It's director Spielberg." β
"Pick it up."
β¦β¦
Kong Yiji and Fan Guangtou read the newspaper the next day, only to learn that Chen Tiandu had been nominated for two scripts, and shouted for him to be treated. The newspaper media also had a heated discussion about the nominations announced last night for the first time, and everyone was satisfied and dissatisfied.
The Los Angeles Times was very puzzled by the fact that "The Sixth Sense" only had two finalists, and published a large report titled "Golden Globe Awards snubbed 'The Sixth Sense'", questioning the judges' unfairness, "This is a strict mistake." After all, the audience praise of "The Sixth Sense" and the box office in the United States are all there, which is an indisputable hard number.
And Chen Tiandu's two nominations for Best Screenplay is not a good thing for him. This will spread out the vote, and there is a very high chance that both of them will miss in the end. It's a pity that both scripts are unique masterpieces.
Some people also analyzed Chen Tiandu's identity as a Chinese, which posed an obstacle to his award, and if there were so few nominations because of this factor, then the Laiwu Foreign Correspondents' Association really needed to reflect on it.
Of course, the most talked about are still "Shakespeare in Love" and "Saving Private Ryan".
The domestic media paid more attention to Chen Tiandu's first Golden Globe nomination. Not only the mainland, but also Hong Kong, Taiwan and even the whole of Southeast Asia are paying attention, and most of them are watching dramas. CCTV also specially contacted Kong Yiji, hoping to interview Chen Tiandu and ask him about his thoughts on being shortlisted for the Golden Globe Award, but he politely declined.
Because there is really no bottom, "What is there to look forward to on the Golden Globe Day Tour." β
Many friends called him to congratulate him, but he didn't pay attention anymore and spent nearly 6 hours a day practicing kung fu.
On New Year's Eve in 1999, Chen Tiandu and Kate went to Times Square in New York and enjoyed a grand concert.
Then the creators of the movie returned one after another, and "The Matrix" resumed work again.
