Chapter 552: The First Award

"Wow, congratulations to Brother Yuquan, the Directors Guild of America Award, this is the best weather vane of the Oscars, if you can win the Best Director Award, it is basically equivalent to getting the Oscar Best Director Award." Liu Yifei had a happy expression.

Before that, she had a detailed understanding of the Directors Guild of America Awards, which is one of the most important awards in the Hollywood director field of the year, and it is very important that among the Academy members of the Oscars, nearly forty percent of the Oscar voters are from the Directors Guild, which also means that in the Oscar Best Director award, the Directors Guild's selection of the best director of the year and the Oscar are very consistent, which can be clearly proved throughout the past 60 Directors Guild Awards, in the 60-year history, It's a miracle that only six Directors Guild Award winners failed to win the Oscar.

"That's right, but it's not that easy to win!" Lin Yuquan shook his head, just as the first and second camps of the Oscar for Best Picture are clearly divided, and there is also a clear division in the Best Director award. The Curious Affair of Barton. Finch, Danny of Slumdog Millionaire. Bauer, "Foster Talks to Nixon" Lang. Howard, all three, like him, continued their strong performances in the awards season's various awards, without any suspense in the early nomination, as for the last nominee, "Milk's Gus. Fan. Sant eventually defeated Stephen of The Reader. Dudley, Sam of Revolutionary Road. Mendez, Christopher of Batman Begins 2: The Dark Knight. Nolan is in the race for best director, and these opponents are not weak. And they are all old rivals encountered in the awards season. It's definitely not an easy task to win them.

"It's not easy. But Yuquan you are the most likely, compared to the quality of the movie alone, the works of the other four directors are obviously far worse than "Savage: The Rise of the Ape Race", but it's a pity that the vote is not completely based on the quality of the movie, but it doesn't matter, even if you don't win the award, it doesn't matter, just like Yuquan you often say, I'm lucky to get it. Losing my life, "Wild Wilds: Rise of the Apes" has achieved enough success, it doesn't matter if it doesn't win an award, and winning another award is just the icing on the cake. Liu Shishi said with a smile.

"Ahem, I said Shi Shi, what you say now should be said after I don't win the award, as if I can't win the award anymore." Lin Yuquan touched his nose.

"Yes, it's not the right time to say something now, anyway, I think Brother Yuquan deserves the award the most." Liu Yifei glanced at Liu Shishi dissatisfied.

"Well, I was wrong. I also hope that you win the prize, I'm just talking about a possibility. Liu Shishi said with a bright smile.

“ok。 I accept your apology. Lin Yuquan chuckled, and continued: "Whether you can win the Directors Guild Award for Best Director will be talked about later, what I have to do now is to compete for tonight's Radio Film Critics Association Award." ”

"That's right, Brother Yuquan, you must win a few more awards tonight, and I will celebrate you when the time comes, and invite you to a big meal." Liu Yifei said excitedly.

"Ahem, I'll invite you to a big meal when I get there." Liu Shishi said immediately.

"Okay, both of you invite me to a big dinner, but I'll choose the location, I've invited you to eat so many times, I must eat it all tonight." Lest the two daughters have a dispute, Lin Yuquan said with a smile.

"Well, okay, but Brother Yuquan, you can't eat my poorly." Liu Yifei smiled brightly.

"You can do it yourself, what you eat tonight, what you eat next time you invite a big meal." Liu Shishi smiled fearlessly.

"Okay, you're amazing, I've got to think about what I'm going to eat tonight." Lin Yuquan smiled.

Compared with the female stars who worked hard to prepare for the awards ceremony, Lin Yuquan did not make any special preparations, but at 5 o'clock in the afternoon, he changed into an Armani suit specially prepared for this year's awards season, and followed his cool Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren sports car to the Hollywood Patronus Theater, where the 14th Critics Choice Awards of the American Broadcast Film Critics Association were grandly held tonight.

As the first showbiz event in the United States in 2009, the red carpet of the 14th Critics' Choice Awards of the American Broadcast Film Critics Association was naturally star-studded and star-studded. Cruz, Kate. Winslet, Annie. Hathaway, Angelina. Julie, Kate. Beckinsale, Meryl. Streep, Diane. Kruger, Marion. Cotillard, Katie. Perry, Dakota. Fanning, however, is that a number of charismatic male stars are obviously impossible to ignore, such as Robert Jr. Donnie, like Brad. Pete, such as Sean. Pan, of course, Lin Yuquan is obviously the one who is indispensable no matter what.

As Lin Yuquan stepped into the red carpet area, first the fans and audience screamed and cheered, and then the media's camera lenses all abandoned the original chasing object and fell on him, and the camera lights clicked and flickered.

For walking the red carpet, Lin Yuquan was already familiar with it, so he soon came to the area where the stars gathered.

"Director, you're here, long time no see." Abigir, who has worked with Lin Yuquan. Bryslin, Karan. McOlife, Dakota. Fanning immediately walked towards Lin Yuquan, and they were both nominated for the Best Young Actor Award, the only difference was Dakota. Fanning was shortlisted for another work starring in "The Secret Life of Bees".

Lin Yuquan is of course very happy about the nominations of the three people, but unfortunately the possibility of the three winning the award is not great, if nothing else, the winner should be Dave of "Slumdog Millionaire". Patel, it's not that the other party's acting skills are higher, but because of the film.

Although he has participated in many Oscar or Golden Globe award ceremonies, there are many Hollywood filmmakers, and the people who attend the awards ceremony are different every time, so there are still a lot of filmmakers who Lin Yuquan does not know. Howard, for this Hollywood representative director. Naturally, he has long been famous. In the past, he has directed "The Grinch of Christmas", "A Beautiful Mind", "Apollo 13", "Gambling Storm", "Da. "The Finch Code", "Fire Ambition", "Warm Family" and a series of box office hits or awards. To this day, the cumulative North American box office of the other party is second only to Steven among directors. Spielberg, himself, and Robert. Zemeckis, Chris. Columbus, George. Lukes is a five-member who also ranks among the top 10 directors at the global box office, and also won Best Picture and Best Director at the 72nd Academy Awards in 2002 for "A Beautiful Mind".

He Lang. In addition to admiring each other's extraordinary achievements in the past, Howard's communication also lies in the lack of enough excellent works in today's Summit Entertainment, Lin Yuquan hopes to have the opportunity to cooperate with each other in the future, which can be described as a drunkard's intention is not entirely in wine.

The same happened to Danny, who was present at the awards ceremony. Bauer, Gus. Fan. Sant, Clint. Eastwood, David. On Finch, Lin Yuquan doesn't mind if it's a commercial film. Art films are completely OK, as long as he thinks they have a value for filming, everything is fine.

Of course, it also happened to the four screenwriters who attended the awards ceremony, "Benjamin. The Curious Affair of Barton. Rose, Robin. Swincow, Simon of Slumdog Millionaire. Beufoy, Peter in "Foster Versus Nixon." Morgan, Dustin of "Milk." Reims. Blake, the four are undoubtedly quite good screenwriters in their own right, and their future scripts may never reach the level of the screenplays shortlisted this time, but there are obviously enough reasons to look forward to it.

In contrast, for the actors, Lin Yuquan is purely a simple understanding. In the exchange, the time quickly came to the start of the award ceremony.

Compared to the Kodak Theatre, the venue where the Oscars were held. The venue of the American Broadcast Film Critics Association Awards is undoubtedly a little shabby, the Hollywood Patronus Theater, which was inaugurated and opened on Halloween night in 1940, has a history of 68 years, and has had a very prominent period in history, even US President Kennedy has visited the theater, but in the eighties and nineties of the last century, due to disrepair, it was forced to close, until the first two years by the show organizer LiveNation invested millions of dollars to repair it, and reopened in October last year.

However, this did not affect the progress of the award ceremony at all, and the first award officially awarded made Lin Yuquan care.

"Among the nominees for Best Film Music is the big screen." Award presenter Michelle. The voice of the Faliver resounded in the theater.

As her words fell, the nominee appeared on the big screen in the center of the theater, along with a clip from the film: "Benjamin. Alexander of The Curious Affair of Barton. Despra, Clint of "The Changeling". Eastwood, Danny of "Milk." Eifman, Howard of Savage: The Rise of the Apes. Shaw, Raman of Slumdog Millionaire.

Not only Lin Yuquan, David. Finch, Alexander. Despra, Clint. Eastwood, Howard. Xiao Many people looked at Michelle on the stage with great concern. Faliver awaits the birth of the award-winning results.

"The one who won the best film music was." Speaking of which, Michelle. Faiver paused, looked at the audience with a smile on his face, and spat out the name of the winner: "Howard. Shaw, "The Savage: The Rise of the Ape". ”

"Wow, the first prize." Liu Shishi and Liu Yifei, who were watching the live TV broadcast, cheered almost at the same time.

At the same time, countless moviegoers across the United States who were watching live TV were also very happy, and enthusiastic applause also rang out in the Hollywood Patronus Theater.

"First prize." and Howard. After Xiao shook hands to congratulate him, Lin Yuquan applauded and watched each other walk onto the stage with a smile. Fareiver took the trophy in his hand.

"This is really a wonderful moment, thank you to the Broadcast Film Critics Association for giving me recognition, and here I also give special thanks to Kung Fu Lin, he is a great director, a particularly incredible director, in fact, in the music of "Wild Story: The Rise of the Ape", there is a lot of content from his ideas, it can be said that this should be a creation that I completed with him, this honor belongs to me and him, and finally I thank my family, thank you for your support of my work, thank you, thank you!" Howard. Xiao raised the trophy in his hand and walked off the stage.

The ceremony continued, with four awards in a row, with the exception of the performance in the middle, with Best Film Song going to 'TheWrestler' from "Wrestler", Best Documentary going to "The Tightrope Walker", Best Group Performance going to "Milk", and Best TV Movie going to "John. Adams" won, and then the Best Young Actor Award was awarded, although there was an almost certain conjecture in his heart, but before the award was awarded, Lin Yuquan naturally had expectations for this award.

"The winner of the 14th Annual Critics' Choice Awards for Best Young Actor at the North American Broadcast Film Critics Association is Dave Brown. Patel, "Slumdog Millionaire". "Guest of honor, Michelle. Monahan said with a smile.

In the warm applause, Lin Yuquan shook his head slightly, and then applauded with a smile. Patel walked on the stage, this Indian teenager is lucky, with "Slumdog Millionaire" now has a certain fame all over the world, but this alone is not enough for him to gain a foothold in Hollywood, to gain a foothold in Hollywood, either there are people to support, or they have excellent appearance conditions or extraordinary acting skills, but these three, the other party obviously does not have, and even due to the boycott of the film in India, the other party does not have much possibility to gain a foothold in India, the situation is very similar to the actor in Jia Zhangke's movie.

The award ceremony continued, followed by the award of Best Supporting Actress, for this award, Lin Yuquan has a lot of interest, this award is very competitive in the awards season, especially among the "Reader" Kate . Winslet and Midnight in Barcelona Penelope. Cruz, the competition between the two has been continuing, the Oscars do not know yet, and it will continue to the Golden Globe Awards, the Screen Actors Guild Awards, judging by the results of the awards season so far, Penelope. Cruz had a slight upper hand, but Kate. Winslet could strike back at any time, and Marissa Brown, who is also a rival tonight in "Wrestler". Tomei and Benjamin. The Curious Affair of Barton. Hansen is also quite competitive.

Personally, Lin Yuquan is more optimistic about Kate. Winslet, "Midnight in Barcelona" hasn't been watched yet, but "The Reader", "The Wrestler", "Benjamin. The Curious Affair of Barton" he had seen it all, Kate. Winslet is definitely the best actor of the three, although he can't judge Kate directly from the movie performance. Winslet and Penelope. Cruz who performed better, however Kate. Winslet is actually the heroine of "The Reader", and the fact that she chose to hit the supporting actress award only because of the company's strategy gives him reason to be more optimistic about Kate, who has significantly more roles. Winslet.

In addition, Lin Yuquan himself is also interested in Kate. Winslet has a good impression, not only because the other party's performance in "Titanic" left a deep impression on him, but also because the other party is a rare actor, in this impetuous showbiz, few popular actresses can give up many big-budget commercial film opportunities that could have been taken over like her, and choose to take on those small production films that may only be because of what she likes, and she never likes to swagger in front of the media camera when she has nothing to do, seeking what exposure and presence, Outside of filming, she has been staying in her hometown in the UK and living a quiet and ordinary life.

Lin Yuquan has always admired such an actor, in his opinion, this should be the acting attitude that a real actor should have, from his point of view, he very much hopes that such an actor can win honor.

"The winner of Best Supporting Actress was Kate. Winslet, The Reader. ”

Hear from the award presenter Ben. After Affleck announced the award-winning results, Lin Yuquan suddenly had a bright smile on his face and applauded vigorously to send his blessings. (To be continued.) )
