Chapter 181: The Golden Ball Ends
"I didn't expect that I won the award in the end, I thought it was "Heaven at This Time"? The film exposes the tragic and profound consequences of the conflict in the Middle East, and the theme of calling for peace appealed to the judges' appetite. After winning the award, Lin Yuquan's state of mind had completely calmed down, and he said to Zhou Xingchi while sipping champagne.
"Actually, it's not a surprise, my "Kung Fu" award is a real surprise! After all, your "Red Cliff" is the most famous of the nominated foreign language films, and the content of the film also has the meaning of defending the homeland and fighting for peace, so it is not surprising. Zhou Xingchi took a sip of champagne and shook his head.
Lin Yuquan also knew this, but he didn't expect the publicity strategy to really take effect.
The awards ceremony continued, with the award for Best Original Score, John Williams' "Memoirs of a Geisha", Best Song 'ALoveThatWillNeverGrowOld', "Brokeback Mountain" - sung by Emmylou Harris, Lifetime Achievement Award Anthony. Hopkins, soon it was Lin Yuquan's turn to pay more attention, and it was also an award that countless people paid attention to - the Best Director Award.
The presenter of such a heavy award is naturally not an ordinary person, but the actor and director with the most abundant works in film history. Eastwood, the 76-year-old man has countless honors in his acting career, the most notable of which is that he has won two Academy Awards for Best Director and three Golden Globes for Best Director, and his "Million Dollar Baby" won the Oscars last year, winning four awards for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress and Best Supporting Actor.
"The 63rd Golden Globe Award for Best Director nominees are Woody Brown. Allen, "The End of the Game", George. Clooney, Good Night, Good Luck, Peter. Jackson's "King Kong", Li Yu's "Brokeback Mountain", Ferrando. Menaris, The Immortal Gardener, Steven. Spielberg, Munich. "Silver-haired Clint. Eastwood looked at the card and said, then opened the envelope without any delay: "The winner is Li Yu, "Brokeback Mountain". ”
The applause at the scene rang out.
In the end, he is a great director who has been famous for many years, and Li Yu has already won the Golden Globe Award for Best Director and Best Foreign Language Film for "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", so he looks very calm on the TV screen, just smiling and the crew's Heath. Ledger, Michelle. Williams shook hands and calmly walked onto the stage. Eastwood took the Ballon d'Or trophy in his hands.
"It's the third award tonight, and it seems that Director Li and "Brokeback Mountain" may be the biggest winners tonight." Lin Yuquan said when he applauded.
"Yes, now it's up to us to see if we can win the final Best Drama Film, although this award doesn't have the same effect as the Oscar for Best Picture, but it's also an award." A hint of envy flashed in Zhou Xingchi's eyes.
"In its current form, it should be fine, but "Good Night, Good Luck" and "The End of the Game", which were shortlisted for best film, were also big hits, but they have not received anything so far, and it is not ruled out that the Golden Globes want to divide the cake evenly and let one of the two win the award." Lin Yuquan nodded.
Best Actor (Musical/Comedy), Jacquin Phoenix, Unstoppable, Best Picture (Musical/Comedy), Unstoppable, Best Series – Drama, Lost, Best Actress (Drama), Felicity. Hoffman's "Crossing the United States", seeing this, Lin Yuquan also felt a little sorry for Zhang Ziyi, it was not easy to be shortlisted for the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Drama Film, and in the end it was a failure.
And at this time Denzel. Washington also took the stage to award the best theatrical film.
"The winner of Best Drama Film was Brokeback Mountain."
Tonight, Li Yu and "Brokeback Mountain" are not only the big winners, but also very popular at the scene, and every time it is their turn to win, the applause of the stars is overwhelming.
After the award of the best theatrical film, the annual Golden Globe Awards dinner finally came to an end, but the stars did not end to the Golden Globe Night event, and after the awards, the stars will go to the Golden Globe Awards.
"Master Xing, then let's talk another day, if your next film needs to introduce investment, we at Shuguang Film Company are happy to join." Zhou Xingchi's interest was not high, after saying goodbye to him, Lin Yuquan went to Paiduì, Li Yu was surrounded by the media, and saw Zhang Ziyi alone, so he smiled and said: "Why, I'm still sad that I didn't win the award just now, in fact, you didn't play badly, it's just that the judges didn't choose you this time, you have to have confidence in yourself, there is an Oscar behind!"
"Hehe, thank you, congratulations on winning the Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film! This is really a great honor, I don't expect an Oscar, I don't think I can even get a nomination, but you, hopefully, will win the Oscar later. Zhang Ziyi smiled very happily, and she didn't look disappointed at all.
"Of course I hope so, you also have to have confidence in yourself, even if the Oscars don't work this time, there will be later!" Lin Yuquan said.
"Yes, there will be a future, but at least not next year, you and Director Zhang will have new films this year, and if you want to fight, it will be the two of you to compete for the film, don't tell Director Zhang, in fact, relatively speaking, I am more optimistic about your "Painted Skin". Zhang Ziyi shook her head and said with a smile, she who participated in the filming of "Night Banquet" knows the gap between "Night Banquet" and "Red Cliff", and in the face of Lin Yuquan's new film that seems to be investing more, she is not optimistic that "Night Banquet" can break through "Painted Skin" and win the selection of the best foreign language film in China next year.
"Don't worry, I won't say anything to him, since you are so optimistic about my film, are you interested in making a cameo in "Painted Skin", Xiao Wei has not made a comeback, you can play other demon foxes!"
"Although the cameo is a bit cheap, but since it is a sincere invitation from you, a great director, then I reluctantly agree."
"Oh, that's it! You don't have to force yourself. ”
The pie lasted until one o'clock in the morning, and then Lin Yuquan returned to the hotel room, and when there was only one person, his quiet excitement came out again.
"I won the Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film, yes!"
As a director, Lin Yuquan is of course very happy to receive such a heavyweight award, for a while, he couldn't sleep, and he wanted to share it with others, and the first thing he thought of was Liu Shishi, these days, he gets along very well with girls.
If you want to do it, Lin Yuquan immediately took out his mobile phone, crackled and pressed the keyboard, and opened the global pass is convenient.
"Hey, I won the Golden Globe for Best Foreign Language Film."
Then, Lin Yuquan leaned on the sofa, looked at his phone expectantly, and waited for Liu Shishi to call back.
This time happened to be more than five o'clock in the afternoon Beijing time, so Liu Shishi's text message came quickly.
"Hehe, I watched the live broadcast on the Internet, congratulations, you have won glory for the people of the country again."
Lin Yuquan smiled slightly.
"Then you won't even send me a text message, you can't make a phone call, it's no problem to send a text message!"
"I didn't know you were abroad, I can text you." ”
"You and Zhang Ziyi are very eye-catching on the red carpet today, and the media are vying to interview you."
Is this jealousy? The corners of Lin Yuquan's mouth turned up slightly, and after chatting with Liu Shishi, he sent a text message to his parents, Wang Luodan, Liu Yifei and others.
We talked until half past two, and then he automatically cultivated in his sleep with a satisfied mood.
And while he slept, countless people around the world were shaken by the Golden Globes.
The biggest winner of this year's Golden Globe Awards is Chinese director Li Yu, whose western cowboy "Brokeback Mountain" won four awards in one fell swoop: Best Drama Film, Best Director, Best Screenplay, and Best Song. by James Smith. Mango's "Unstoppable" was also a big winner, shortlisted for all three awards, winning Best Musical and Comedy Film, Best Actor (Musical and Comedy Film), and Best Actress (Musical and Comedy Film).
Some people are happy and some are worried, and the saddest is probably George. Before that, "Good Night, Good Luck" directed by him was considered the biggest competitor of Li Yu's "Brokeback Mountain", but it was a failure. Clooney himself won the Best Supporting Actor with "Cinrena", of course, this can also be said to be the cleverness of the distribution of the Golden Globe Awards, which generally ensures that this year's Golden Globe Awards are stable and uneventful.
The same is true for television.
"Red Cliff", which won the best foreign language film, is naturally the focus of media reports and public attention, just like Zhou Xingchi said, although there are some surprises, but "Red Cliff" winning the award is not an upset, after all, among the five films nominated, although "Red Cliff" is not the most favored by the media, it is only under "Heaven at this time", and compared with "Heaven at this moment", the advantages of "Red Cliff" can be described as very obvious, it has a wide range of fans around the world and strong popularity, choose it to become the best foreign language film, The criticism was absolutely minimal. In fact, fans are very satisfied with "Red Cliff" winning the best foreign language film, and there are comments of praise and approval everywhere on the Internet, even film critics may feel sorry that "Paradise Now" did not win the award, but no one will think that "Red Cliff" is not a good movie and is not eligible for this award.
If the most enthusiastic response to "Red Cliff" winning the best foreign language film is of course in China, although Li Eucalyptus is the biggest winner, but in the end, it is a Hollywood movie, where is "Red Cliff" a Chinese-language film, and in terms of the influence of the film itself and the influence of the director, Li Eucalyptus and his "Brokeback Mountain" cannot compete with Lin Yuquan and "Red Cliff".
This can be clearly seen from the length of domestic media reports and the number of comments from netizens.
Xinglang Entertainment called Lin Yuquan "the glory of Chinese directors" in the report, praising Lin Yuquan for accomplishing incredible things at the age of 22, he not only became the third Chinese director to win this honor, but also the youngest of the directors who won the award for Best Foreign Language Film in the 53rd session (the first 11 Golden Globe Awards, only the 6th had the Best Foreign Language Film award), and believed that "Red Cliff" had a great chance to compete for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film in the future, and cited the example of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". The film also won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film after winning the Golden Globes, and it is not limited to Best Foreign Language Film, the excellent quality of "Red Cliff" makes it entirely possible to win other awards.
It is worth mentioning that "Farewell My Concubine" and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", which previously won the Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film, "Farewell My Concubine" was selected in the name of Hong Kong, China, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was selected and sent in the name of Taiwan, China, and "Red Cliff" was the first film to be truly selected and awarded in the name of China, which naturally inspired the pride of the domestic media and the public.
So when Lin Yuquan returned to Kyoto from Los Angeles, he was immediately chased and intercepted by the media, which made the Ziyu Villa where he lived also exposed again, and attracted a lot of media coverage.
Lin Yuquan naturally can't be idle, in addition to dealing with these media interviews, approaching the end of the year, as the boss, he has to deal with a lot of things in several companies, and it is equivalent to last year's year-end company dinner, this year's scale is much larger, last year there was only one company in Shuguang Film Company, and it did not expand so many people, this year not only expanded, but also Shuguang brokerage company and Shuguang Network, he didn't want to run three times, so he simply let the three companies have a dinner together, and chartered a whole floor of a hotel, which is very large.
And that's not even counting YouTobe in the United States, in fact, he had already been to YouTobe before returning to China, and had a grand dinner party with all the employees of the company.
On January 25, the company officially started the holiday, and Lin Yuquan also packed up his things and went home for the New Year.
At this time, the triumphant release of "Red Cliff" came to an end, and in the end, this epic war movie that shocked the world greatly won 267 million yuan at the domestic box office, breaking the box office record set by "Hero" that year. In North America, the world's largest box office center, it won $187.3 million, plus other countries and regions, the global box office of "Red Cliff" was fixed at $413 million.
But this is not the end, but just the beginning, with "Red Cliff" winning the Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film, and may even win the Oscars, it is foreseeable that the next DVD audio and video products launched by "Red Cliff" will sell very hot, bringing huge economic income to Shuguang Film Company, and this money will be invested in YouTobe, which has covered North America and appeared on the world's No. 1 video website, in order to obtain greater returns.
