"Nick, congratulations, you have a good win at the Golden Globe this time."

"This can't be regarded as my gain, Kevin's acting skills are the accumulation of thirty years, and the script was written by Bob, these lessons are not my credit."

The Golden Globe Awards ceremony has passed, and at the party after the Golden Globes, Levy holds a wine glass in his hand and greets the people who come and go.

This time at the Golden Globe Awards, his income is actually not particularly good: Eavesdropping Storm, which received four nominations in the film category, only won two awards for Best Actor and Best Screenplay in the drama category, Best Picture and Best Director, all of which were indisputably won by the Titanic. The three nominations in the TV category were all unsuccessful, and the TV series that has just been released for two seasons is still too immature to get any honor.

It's just that although Levy has not won many awards, he is still in the limelight. In terms of TV series, people don't care very much, anyway, there are many seasons of TV series as soon as they are broadcast, who cares if they win an award once or twice? In the film category, the Golden Globe Awards are still the vane of the Oscars in a greater sense, and winning two awards means that the film is this year's hot - although this hit seems to be difficult to win, but for a director, the first step is already the Golden Globe Award Four nominations, two awards, what is not satisfied?

For Levy, it was the perfect awards ceremony – if not the bad news at the party.

"Nick, I heard that our film has been selected as the opening film of the Berlin Film Festival?" At the party, Spacey and Levy talked about something else, "Are you going to leave for Germany in the next few days?" ”

"Yes, our film was chosen as the opening film. Good news to celebrate, isn't it? Levi raised his glass, and the two of them drank it all, Kevin Spacey handed the glass to the waiter next to him before speaking again, "So, don't you participate in the awards of the Directors Guild and the Screenwriters Guild?" ”

"There's no need, right? These two awards are almost decided, Bob will go to the Writers Guild, and I won't go. ”

Levy's attitude made Kevin Spacey a little amused: he certainly understood Levy's thoughts.

On the director's guild side, the question now is how to give the award to James Cameron. The filming of the big ship is enough to make all directors look up to it in terms of scale and technology, although the filming technique of eavesdropping storm is claimed to be used as a shooting teaching material, but it is not as shocking as the big ship, and Levy is going to participate in the awards, that is, to accompany the run.

On the Writers Guild's side, it's a different story: Ben Affleck's sudden statement offended almost all the critics, and made the film receive serious contempt in the process of various awards - the group of film critics, usually it seems that they only know how to chirp and find faults, but when it comes to the awards, their significance is highlighted. Many film critics are participants in various awards, especially the Screenwriters Guild's literary work awards, and their share is very large. Ben Affleck offended them, and the biggest antagonist of his film suddenly abandoned his martial arts, and when such a situation happened, what was there to worry about? The Screenwriters Guild's awards are to distinguish between adapted scripts and original scripts, except for the soul catcher, then the biggest competitor is perfection, and the comedy competition script wins, and it can even be said that it is not a victory.

Since there is no need to worry about these two, what Levy needs to worry about is naturally the Berlin Film Festival. The Berlinale opens on February 11, and the Golden Globe Awards are not yet a few days away. After the award is over in the United States, Levy also needs to consider leaving immediately to receive the award in Germany.

Unlike the Americans, eavesdropping storms are now a hot topic in Germany. The Berlin Film Festival of the Germans originally admired political films the most, all political films, there is the possibility of adding points, and Levy is still filming the story of Germany, the Germans attach great importance to this film, and it is also extraordinary, as soon as the film was announced to participate in the film festival, they have already said that this film will be the opening film - in the eyes of the Germans, this film deserves any honor.

Levy had already informed Spacey of these things, and now that he had mentioned them again, Levy had some bad premonitions in his heart.

"I think I have to say sorry about your trip to Berlin. You also know that the Screen Actors Guild Awards are being presented in the past few days, and I can't leave for a while......"

Kevin Spacey came to see Levy, and the biggest thing was to explain that he couldn't go to Berlin. Unlike Levy, who doesn't care about the Directors Guild Awards, he still cares a lot about the Screen Actors Guild Awards.

He has now won the Golden Globe, and if he can win another director's guild award, then he could beat Jack Nicholson to win the Oscar. It's just that because he won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor last year, many people in the media now think that winning the Oscar for two consecutive years is not in line with Kevin Spacey's strength, and he is also under a lot of pressure, so he will propose to Levy that he may have to miss the Berlin Film Festival.

Hearing his words, Levy was a little regretful, but he also knew that it was indeed a bit embarrassing for an actor to give up the appeal of the Oscars and go to Berlin to participate in the Golden Bear.

Awards season is here, and everyone has to get busy for their careers.

"Since you don't want to go, don't go." Levy could only accept this, "Let's prepare for the Oscars." Kevin, I sincerely hope you can win this year's Oscar. ”

"I sincerely hope so." Kevin Spacey smiled and took another glass of wine, "At the same time, I sincerely hope that Eavesdropping Storm can win the Golden Bear Award." ”

This blessing made Levy laugh, "I have no doubt about it. ”

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

I knew that my life in Germany would be the way it is now, and I should have followed the example of Kevin Spacey and not come to the Berlin Film Festival at all.

In the Berlin hotel, Theron prepared his dress in the mirror, and after looking in the mirror again and again to make sure that there was nothing wrong with him, he turned around and prepared to leave the room.

It's the third day of arriving in Berlin. Except for the opening ceremony, when he accompanied Levy on the red carpet and the figure who could find him, I didn't know where he was in the past few days. After this guy arrived in Europe, he seemed to be in a hurry, and he has not been seen in the past few days.

On the first day, he was busy meeting with the French soundtrack artist Jan Tilson he had found - in the eavesdropping storm, he used the soundtrack of the soundtrack master Hans Zimmer, and the soundtrack of the film was not criticized for anything, but in Levy's opinion, it was still not good enough, in the preparation of his new film, he worked harder to prepare for it, and specially found the French avant-garde musician Jan Tilson to score the film, and the two of them negotiated for a whole day before finalizing.

The next day, he was busy meeting with publishers in Europe. Since Eavesdropping Storm has already participated in the Berlin Film Festival, it will also be released in Europe. On the European side, especially the Germans, they are very important to this film, and they are also discussing with Levy about dubbing the film, showing it in Germany, buying the rights, and shooting the original German version.

It wasn't until the third day that he remembered to ask himself out for a walk. But when it came to the appointed time, he did not arrive on time.

Why is he always so busy? This attitude made Theron quite resentful, why he was always so busy.

However, when she walked downstairs to the hotel and saw Levy, her dissatisfaction was replaced by a new curiosity.

Levy was standing there, chatting with people. Standing across from Levy was an Asian. Although Theron has not had much interaction with Asians, the free and easy demeanor of the Asian in front of him is rare even in Hollywood.

"No more gossiping, the person you're waiting for has already arrived." The person on the other side saw Theron and stopped talking, he bowed slightly to Theron and saluted, and then turned around and walked out rather dashingly.

"Who's that guy?" Theron looked at the back of the person who was leaving, and admired his demeanor, and couldn't help but ask.

"One of the judges of this film festival, Mr. Zhang from Hong Kong, he is a very good actor, you can watch his play when you have time."

"The drama in Hong Kong? I have the impression that Hong Kong only has stupid hat kung fu movies......" Theron shrugged. "You can talk to an Asian guy very well...... Do you know that person? ”

"I've heard of it, but it's the first time I've seen a real person." Levi smiled and retracted his gaze, "Hong Kong is not only stupid kung fu movies, some Hong Kong movies are still very good, and they are worth watching." ”

"That's what you're talking about?"

"I just told him that if he had the opportunity, he could come to the United States as a guest, and maybe I would work with him on a certain film in the future."

Levy knew that in another five years, the actor could be doomed. He didn't know the reason behind the lamentable suicide, but he would be happy if he could help.

Moreover, he has long been salivating for the film industry in Hong Kong, and wants to find an opportunity to dig up treasures from there.
