Chapter 219: I'm just on the road
(Ask for a subscription, ask for a monthly pass!!) )
Less than 24 hours after yesterday's presidential inauguration in Washington, Los Angeles remained unaffected and continued to host lavish awards ceremonies.
For Americans, 政zhì is political zhì, and entertainment is entertainment. Entertainment news must not be on the headlines of the political news, but the news may be on the headlines of the entertainment section. If any entertainment news makes political headlines, most of the newspaper's regular readers will protest and choose to unsubscribe from the newspaper, so the media is also very cautious about this. This is their democracy.
On January 21, the Hilton Los Angeles Beverly Hills, the entertainment capital, was holding its annual Golden Globe Awards ceremony.
As the bellwether of the Oscars, the Golden Globes and Oscars have had a record of 41 times for best picture in the past 57 years. Comparing the winners of the Golden Globe Awards and the Oscars in the last five years, the winners of Best Picture and Best Director are the same four times, and the Best Actor and Actress are the same three times. Especially in the past two years, except for the actor project, which won Jim Carrey two Golden Globes in a row but missed the Oscars twice, the other Best Picture, Best Director and Best Actress are all proud. As for Best Foreign Language Film, there have been two winners in the last five years who have been the same.
Unlike the Oscars, the Golden Globe Awards have a wide range of awards, not only including TV programs, but also movies are divided into two categories: "Best Feature Film" and "Best Comedy/Music Film", so Best Picture and Best Actor and Actress can be said to have two places each.
Shakespeare's Love History, which won the Oscar for Best Drama, won the Golden Globe for Best Comedy/Musical Film, not Best Drama; Gwyneth Paltrow of "Shakespeare in Love" and Helen Hunter of "Perfection" also won the Golden Globe Award for Best Comedy/Musical Actress.
For the Chinese media. They are focusing on Hollywood points this year's awards season. There will always be only two.
It's no surprise that "Infernal Affairs" and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" were both nominated for Best Foreign Language Film this time. They are all on the rise in the United States, and last year's "A Qiē About My Mother" is very strong, so the hope of winning an award or even being nominated for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film is very strong.
In particular, Chen Tiandu and Ang Lee were both nominated for Best Director, which shows that the film's achievements are recognized, but it is also impossible to ignore another powerful enemy, Steven Soderbergh was shortlisted for this project with two films, and his momentum is stronger than the two.
It is not the first time that Chen Tiandu has been shortlisted for this award, but he has been losing in terms of age, and people mention his age. There will always be some worries, "He's still young, won't he get it this year, will there be a next time?" ”
It seems that this has become a reasonable answer, but are the Golden Globes and Oscars so good to be shortlisted? Maybe this will be the last time.
Both fans and the media know this, so the discussion is hot. Therefore, "Infernal Affairs", which was shortlisted for five nominations, has also become the most watched film at this year's Golden Globe Awards, especially Chen Tiandu, who has been shortlisted for three awards this year, and will he return home again?
But the Golden Globes are not Oscars after all. "Life is Beautiful" didn't win the Golden Globe at all, but it won a lot at the Oscars. Therefore, it is too late to wait for the Oscar shortlist to be announced in mid-February.
……
Star-studded, star-studded!
It seems that every time such a large-scale awards ceremony is introduced, it can't run these eight words, and this year will naturally be no exception.
"Desert Island Survivors" and "Gladiator" are global hits, and as candidates for best actor in feature films, Tom Hanks and Russell Crowe's appearances are full of momentum. In addition, the veteran actor and newly married Michael Douglas was also shortlisted for "Rising Star", and he appeared with his sexy wife Catherine Zeta-Jones, which was a proper eye-catcher. In addition to these three favourites, Javier Borden, who was shortlisted for "Before Nightfall", and Christmas Chan, the new actor candidate for the new force, is clearly more popular.
Especially when he walked the red carpet alone this year without Kate. asked many media how Kate's injury was, and Chen Tiandu always replied: "It's no big deal, you need to rest more." ”
Fortunately, the crew of "Infernal Affairs" also came a lot, Andy Lau and Chen Huilin are also quite popular now, and even Han Sanpin flew over in a tunic to brush up his reputation. The third master is full of aura in China, and he is unaware of him here, so it is inevitable that he will be a little disappointed.
Fortunately, many domestic media also came this time, and several major newspapers and media in Hong Kong were almost fully dispatched. A Chinese and a Chinese are both nominated for the Best Director Award, which is unique in the whole of Greater China, no wonder they are as lively and excited as a holiday.
In addition to the crew of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", Zhang Ziyi appeared as a new face, looking glamorous and beautiful, which made the number of Chinese faces on the entire red carpet increase a lot.
Whitney Houston is also here today, she looks pretty good, and I don't know how much powder she has smeared. She is going to sing "Skyfall" today, and this song also has a good chance of winning a prize for "Infernal Affairs". For Whitney, whose career is at a low point and is heavily in debt, Chen Tiandu's move also makes her very grateful.
In the music category, Hans Timo was also shortlisted for two works this year, and the beautiful soundtrack of "Gladiator" was also written by him and Lisa Olsen. When it comes to soundtrack awards, he's at the top.
There is also the most beautiful actress lineup on the red carpet, Julia Roberts, Sandra Bullock, Judi Dench, Catherine Zeta-Jones......
"Hi Christmas Chan, is Kate okay?" When she was looking at the actress in boredom, Catherine walked over with her big-name husband and hugged Chen Tiandu, "I'm really sorry, I don't have time to visit her, I plan to go see her after this is over." ”
"Thank you. She's recovering well, but she can't move much. Chen Tiandu smiled and shook hands with Michael again, "Congratulations, Mr. Douglas, I'm afraid you can't count how many times you have been shortlisted for the best actor, it's really amazing." ”
Gentleman Douglas smiled, "Thank you." He looked at Andy Lau, Chen Huilin, Han Sanpin and others.
Chen Tiandu introduced, "Andy Liu, my opponent in the play; Kelly Chen, the heroine of Infernal Affairs. Han Sanpin, the leader of China Film Group, is one of the producers of Infernal Affairs. Douglas's eyes lit up, and he shook hands one by one when it was Han Sanpin's turn to be much more cordial, "China is a very beautiful country, and it has cultivated a genius like Chen, and I want to cooperate with Chinese filmmakers when I have the opportunity." ”
It's a pity that Han Sanpin's English is not good, so he can't hear it, so he has to shake hands with a smile.
Chen Tiandu smiled and translated, and Han Sanpin naturally expressed a warm welcome, said a word of official language, and asked Chen Tiandu to translate back again. The language barrier made Douglas lose interest in continuing to speak and stood aside without speaking.
Catherine was still asking Chen Tiandu which hospital Kate was admitted to, and Chen Tiandu explained: "It's time to go home tomorrow, and I'm going to hold a food party at home to celebrate her discharge, if you have time, you can come over." Catherine gladly agreed.
The two of them have been in good order from beginning to end, and they don't see that they have ever had anything to do with each other.
"Christmas Chan, I'm Julian Ferdy, can I be interviewed by our NBC?" A black female reporter with an NBC logo walked up and stopped the crowd. "Wow, Andy Liu, hello, can we interview you together?"
"Of course~~" Chen Tiandu felt that she seemed to be a famous host, shrugged his shoulders, glanced at Andy Lau and Chen Huilin, and happily accepted the interview.
"Christmas Chan, you have been shortlisted for three individual awards today, are you ready for your acceptance speech?"
Chen Tiandu suddenly laughed, please, this is a live TV broadcast of the awards ceremony watched by hundreds of millions of viewers from 130 countries and regions, do you want me to say big things, and said modestly: "I have a good mentality, I am very happy to be able to participate in this event, it doesn't matter if I win the award or not." ”
"And Kate wants you to win?"
Chen Tiandu smiled: "She wants me to take all the gold balls back, because many places in my display case are empty, and it is too eye-catching to put in the study." ”
"And how many are you going to take back?"
Chen Tiandu was speechless and said, "Okay, let's go around again, I plan to go back and make a few zuò by myself and put them there to bluff the guests." When people walk through the door, they'll be surprised, wow, how many prizes have you won? ”
Seeing that the oil and water from Chen Tiandu did not enter, she immediately shifted her target and asked Andy Lau. The character of Liu Jianmin is the only protagonist who can confront Chen Yongren in Infernal Affairs, and his popularity is by no means worse than that of Zhang Ziyi, who is excellent in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".
Asked if he had any plans to develop in Hollywood, he said that he had to look at the script and specific projects, and he had his own company, but he didn't just leave like Zhou Yunfa and Li Lianjie, and he didn't have Chenlong's hand. There are a few scripts, but they are all looking for him to play the opposite role, and the salary is not as high as him in Hong Kong, so why bother to ruin his reputation.
The red carpet was full of people, celebrities in handsome suits and beautiful evening dresses walked around, or with the photography of elegant poses, or groups of three or five acquaintances laughing and talking, the steps behind the surrounding guardrails were full of busy photojournalists, dazzling flashes kept lighting up from their cameras, and the sound of snapping even drowned out the chaotic noise.
went around and stopped, and finally transferred to a place with the crew of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", and they happened to be interviewed by several domestic media in the corner of the red carpet. When the fans over there saw Chen Tiandu and others coming, they immediately shouted loudly, "Christmas Chen, Christmas Chen, Christmas Chen......"
"Tiandu, your popularity is really amazing!"
Han Sanpin seems to really feel a lot today, and he never thought that a Chinese could gain such popularity in the United States. Today he has seen it all, and almost everyone on the red carpet knows him, "Glory for the country." ”
Chen Tiandu smiled modestly, "I've just started on the road, and I still have to work harder." (To be continued......)
