Chapter 216: Reloaded (thanks to the demon for the reward)

There are really not a few people who pay attention to the announcement of the Golden Globe nominations today, Andy Lau estimated that he was on the phone just now, but he was always busy, and now he finally got through, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he said, "Congratulations, congratulations." ”

Chen Tiandu was also modest as usual, inviting them to come to Los Angeles to witness the Golden Globe Awards, "It doesn't matter if you win the award or not, the important thing is that we have been here." When the time comes, everyone will come over, I will be the east, and everyone will get together again. I learned a few more special dishes during my vacation in Australia this time, and I just want you to try them. ”

Andy Lau said that he wanted to look at the schedule, his new movie was about to be released, and he might not be able to spare time, and finally added: "Try to make time, if there is no problem, it will definitely come by then, you can prepare chopsticks." ”

hung up Brother Hua, the phone rang immediately, and this time Zhang Ziyi actually rushed in, "Brother Tiandu, congratulations, you won five nominations for the Golden Globe Awards." ”

Chen Tiandu was really in a good mood, and joked: "Thank you, junior sister." Did you sue me first, did you call me first, or did you call the director of the Li case first? Zhang Ziyi was not fooled, and immediately said: "Of course, I will call you first, but unfortunately your phone is always busy, and then people will call the director of the Li case." ”

Chen Tiandu laughed, "Let you go, when will you come to the United States, it just so happens that my family has a party, so you can come over too." ”

"Hmm." Zhang Ziyi responded sweetly.

Then Chen Huilin, Zhang Jiahui and others called to congratulate him, and he also spoke on the balcony for more than an hour before he finally stopped. Rushing in was a sentence: "Beauties, the holiday is over, it's time for us to leave for home." ”

Kate doesn't care. Jun Ji-hyun was a little reluctant to leave. "I'm so reluctant to go. I haven't even had a handsome guy in Australia. Chen Tiandu stared at him in surprise.

When he dragged a large box and a small box back to Los Angeles, he was caught by the paparazzi. Immediately put on his sunglasses and walked forward.

"Christmas Chan, congratulations on your film leading the Golden Globe nominations. What about a holiday in Australia? There were a few clicks, and a chubby white paparazzi casually took a few photos of a handsome idol director wearing a gray multi-pocket jacket and jeans.

"Thank you." Chen Tiandu turned his head to look at him and tugged at the corners of his mouth.

Unexpectedly heard the answer, which made several paparazzi happy. Experience tells them that the director is in a good mood right now.

"Can you tell me how many awards you predict "Infernal Affairs" will win? Best Actor and Russell compete, Best Director and Steven compete, do you think you can win? A black paparazzi with braided hair on the right asked.

"Infernal Affairs" became the leader of the Golden Globe Awards, which is still a little surprising, and it has also caused a lot of controversy in the American media. It is true that Christmas Chen's movie does have a good reputation, but "Gladiator" and "Drug Network" are not bad. But if there is any of the five awards that "Infernal Affairs" was nominated for is inappropriate, the media can't fully refute the supporters, because it is indeed wonderful. In recent years, it is a rare masterpiece of police and bandits.

is known as "comparable to "The Godfather", which may also anger "The Godfather" fans. But it also reflects from the side how classic "Infernal Affairs" is.

Even CNN's "Daily News" is discussing, "Some awards are indeed deserved, but the competition is too fierce to win." This session is really hard to predict. However, Christmas Chen's nomination for Best Screenplay, Best Director, and Best Actor alone may cause the votes to be scattered, and it is very likely that Waterloo will eventually be caused. ”

Hearing this question, Chen Tiandu immediately became vigilant, either he didn't answer, or he couldn't give them a chance to make news. said lightly: "The movies of several masters are very good, and Russell deserves to win the award, let alone Steve." On the contrary, I am flattered that "Infernal Affairs" has received so many nominations, and I thank the Foreign Correspondents' Association for their favor. I would like to say that it is my honor to be nominated, and it doesn't matter if I win the award or not. I'm in a good state of mind right now, and I'm not going to be upset and overexcited about losing it. ”

This remark was too official, obviously unable to satisfy the paparazzi, and someone immediately asked: "Christmas Chen, you went out on vacation with two women, I heard that Gianna also lives in your house, what does it have to do with you." ”

"Gianna is a good friend of mine, and it doesn't have much to do with Chen, thank you." Kate took Chen Tiandu's hand and quickly got into the car and left.

"One last question, one last question." The paparazzi caught up, "May I ask if "Fast and Thrilling" is released, do you think it will beat the competitors of the same period?" Need for Speed ......"

Chen Tiandu stopped suddenly, turned around and waved his fist, and said with a smile: "It must be!" If I can't win them, I'll stop making any movies in the future! After saying that, he lowered his head and got into the car and left with a smoke.

But with this last sentence, these paparazzi have been waiting for hours at the airport in vain, "Today's mission can be completed." ”

This sentence was naturally pasted in the newspaper as it was, and the picture was supplemented with the one where Chen Tiandu was smug and waved his fist, which was simply a killing of Universal and Stallone. The embarrassing Situ talk show also opened the complaining mode: "Christmas Chen rarely bets, if he can't win, he will seal the mirror, how heavy should this resentment be...... Of course, he can close the mirror, just to concentrate on the development of the IT world......"

But when fans heard him say this, they were worried, and they couldn't help but look forward to "Fast and Thrilling" even more.

The controversy over the Golden Globes, apparently, does not stop there.

Some media were very puzzled that "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was not selected for Best Feature Film, thinking that this was because the Golden Globes snubbed "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", and carried out a large report, questioning the judges' unfairness. For Steven Soderbergh alone to occupy two best director and two best feature film spots, it is also a place where the media questions the controversy, although those two films are classics, but occupying two spots will always be said. Just like Chen Tiandu at the Oscars in 99, he alone occupied two nominations for Best Screenplay.

And in that session, Chen Tiandu also won the Best Screenplay Golden Man. By this precedent, it seems that the best director could be sent to Steven Soderbergh in advance.

And there are suddenly more reports about Chen Tiandu's characters: "He has since entered the ranks of first-class directors", "Horror, science fiction, police and bandits, pure commercial films, what ......theme will he challenge in his next movie", "It's too early to talk about his next movie." If you are defeated by Need for Speed or Speed. His next film will never be seen. Oh. Maybe he'll break his promise, and that's exactly what Hollywood stars are used to! ”……

Chen Tiandu said in an interview that although he has repeatedly expressed his modest attitude, he is already very satisfied with the nomination.

However, the trophy is a thing that is modest and modest, but it must not be humble.

Because the Golden Globe Awards also affect the Oscars in a certain way, the matrix is no longer a novice in the public relations of the Olympic bid. No less money should be spent. Advertised in film magazines at the Golden Globes and Oscars, bragged about in the pivotal film media. As usual, the 6,000 Oscar judges were given movie Blu-rays and small gifts, "Whether you appreciate it or not, you must watch my movie again." ”

Anyway, this time "Infernal Affairs" has already made a lot of money at the box office alone, and the DVD pre-sale results are also really good, if you can win another award from the Oscars, I believe that the follow-up peripheral development can rise by at least 20 points.

And the debate about the nominations for various awards is far from over in the minds of the website media, with the Oscar nomination day approaching. A new round of war of words will be revealed. Especially "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is still in the screening stage, and this round of nominations is stormy. I am afraid that it will further contribute to the growth of the movie box office.

After coming back, Chen Tiandu also took the time to take Megan Fox, who was on vacation, to secretly watch a midnight show of "The Rest of the Desert Island", which can be regarded as supporting the idol.

A few days ago, the film has won $450 million at the global box office, which is almost double its investment.

Who said that Hollywood only knows how to play with special effects, and the script is not important?

"Desert Island Survivors" won the box office reviews in the United States, winning the box office for 4 consecutive weeks, and the audience obediently sat on the chair to watch Tom Hanks perform survival in the wild alone, which lasted for an hour. William Blooms' screenwriting skills have been recognized, and there have already been seven-figure bids for his next script

also relied on the script to become popular, which also reminds people of Chen Tiandu back then, and then look at Chen Tiandu today, I'm afraid every screenwriter will be tempted.

According to Variety, the recently formed company Deep-River-Prods has paid Bloomers a seven-figure price for his next production, and whatever script Bloomers gives them, they will accept.

William Brols's screenwriting credits include "Desert Island", remakes of "Planet of the Apes" and "Apollo 13". Tom Hanks thought of the idea of "Desert Island" when he was filming "Apollo 13", conceived and brewed with Brols for 4 years to complete "Resurrection of the Catastrophe", and prepared to cooperate with Brols three times, Tom Hanks is really a noble man of Brols.

Some people may wonder if Chen Tiandu took Meghan to watch the midnight show together, can he still watch the movie.

Uh-huh~~ I can only say that you underestimate the "concentration" of a filmmaker, in short, a certain guy just watched it, but under the effect of distraction and great magic skills, Megan's mouth was swollen the next day, and she was asked by her mother.

And after the holiday, the "Matrix" crew also gathered again, and since the exterior scenes have been completed one after another, most of the remaining scenes are spent in the studio. The scene is more concentrated, and the rest is just slow grinding.

In the final battle of "The Matrix 2: Reloaded", Neo finds the computer core and the creator all the way with the help of the keysmith.

But he has to face a choice, to choose between saving Trinity and Zion, and there is actually a very typical American value in this, whether it is the whole of humanity or the whole country, if a person can't even protect his love and the ability to love, he can't protect the country or the world.

As a transitional work between 1 and 3, the twists and turns of the story are relatively peaceful.

Tell a simple story in a complex way, or tell a complex story in a simple way, which is better? The answer may be different. Chen Tiandu used a way that seemed to have the best of both worlds to tell "The Matrix", those who like brain-burning can explore the inner philosophy, and those who like vision can appreciate computer special effects, which can be said to meet the needs of different people.

You can ignore the philosophical lines, but you can't ignore his eye-catching special effects classics. In addition to the classic scene of car chasing, the most anticipated is the climax battle at the end.

And now, this scene is about to start filming. (To be continued......)
