Chapter 1249 - Winning Prizes One After Another (400 Monthly Tickets Plus Update)
The Golden Globes are the most important outpost of the Oscars, and if you can successfully win the Golden Globe awards, then there is a big concept of finally winning the Oscars, so when you enter the awards ceremony, everyone is very nervous, especially those who have already been nominated.
Even Zunlong, who knew that he had little chance of winning the award, had a serious expression, although he knew the unspoken rules of the American film industry very well, but before the award was finally awarded, who would be willing to give up hope completely?
Chen Chong has a complicated expression, she is not willing to only see Zunlong win the award, but also remembered what Shen Long said to her at the moment, and she inevitably has expectations in her heart, if Zunlong can win the award, then will she have hope in the future?
However, in the end, when the final award was over, Chen Chong was still disappointed, Zunlong did not win the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor, Michael Douglas won this award for his outstanding performance in "Wall Street", Zunlong ran away again, and had to applaud Douglas with a trace of unwillingness.
In fact, Zhang Ziyi will be the same in the future, in 2006, she was full of expectations and hoped to win the Best Actress for her performance in "Memoirs of a Geisha", but she was also disappointed, and the Golden Globe Awards did not recognize her performance; It wasn't until 2019 that the first Asian-American winner in the acting category appeared, Sandra Oh won Best Actress in a TV Drama Drama for "Killing Eve."
Perhaps smarter than Chen Chong, or more likely because of China's rapid economic development in the future, Zhang Ziyi has realized that it is difficult for him to succeed in the United States after "Memoirs of a Geisha" did not win the award, so he gradually put his focus back on China, but did not miss too much.
And Shen Long and David Byrne took the stage together to receive the award for Best Original Film Music, seeing Shen Long on stage, Chen Chong's heart swelled with hope again, she knew that the treatment of behind-the-scenes workers and front-of-stage workers was different, and Shen Long's ability to win the award did not mean that she could also be recognized.
If you think about it carefully, the two kung fu superstars who can mix up in Hollywood in the future are Jackie Chan and Jet Li, and Americans can't compare with them in terms of kung fu movies; But with the gradual decline of kung fu films, they eventually left Hollywood.
"The Last Emperor" won a number of awards at this year's Golden Globe Awards, in addition to Shen Long and David Byrne, Bertruch won Best Director, and also won Best Screenplay with Mark Pepro, and the film also won the Best Picture Award in the drama category.
But Bertrucci was still not satisfied, "I thought I could get more?" As a result, he only won four awards, so the Oscars may not be optimistic. ”
"There's still time, and we can continue to work hard." Shen Long encouraged, in fact, he already knew the result, and this year's Oscar "The Last Emperor" will definitely become the biggest winner.
It's a pity that the Oscars will not start for a while, and a few months later, Shen Long once again ushered in the award ceremony of an award - the time for the Grammy Awards to be awarded.
This time he received two nominations, Best Movie Soundtrack Album and Best NewAge Album, originally he also wanted to come with Yo-Yo Ma, but Yo-Yo Ma has never been interested in this kind of event, he thinks that music is not comparable, so he will perform, but he will not compete, let alone pay attention to any awards, so he has won three Grammys before this without receiving it.
But his musical attainments are too awesome, so although the Grammys know that he will not accept the award, they still give him awards again and again, and by the time Shen Long crossed over, he had been awarded as many as eighteen times, but Yo-Yo Ma did not even win once, which seems to have become an inherent and unique scenery of the Grammys.
Entering the scene, Shen Long saw many well-known musicians, some who played rock, some sang jazz, some engaged in rap, and of course, some played classical and NewAge like him.
Because of the hot sales of "Memories of the Forbidden City" and the release of "The Last Emperor", many musicians who have become famous have come to greet him, and David Byrne has also constantly introduced Shen Long to his friends in the rock circle.
The awards ceremony began, and various awards were constantly being awarded, compared to the previous year, this year's list of winners has dimmed a lot, and in the future, music fans will probably only be familiar with the U2 band that won the best rock album, and George Michael, who won the best album.
Shen Long's previous attitude towards the two winners was different, he didn't want to have anything to do with U2, but said a lot to George Michael, because U2 has always loved all kinds of political activities and has a strong white-left ideology, which Shen Long doesn't like very much; George Michael, on the other hand, was the first rock star to perform in China, and they talked a lot about China.
Shen Long finally won the Best NewAge Album and Best Movie Soundtrack Album awards, which is much happier than winning the Golden Globe Award, because the reputation of the Golden Globe Award is not as good as the Oscars, and his influence in the music industry is far less than that of the Grammys.
"Well done! King! David Byrne gave him a big hug, "I'd like to win two prizes next time!" In fact, he wants to win two awards for Best Rock Album and Best Rock Band more than Best Movie Soundtrack, after all, his job is a rock singer.
"I hope to win other awards next time!" Shen Long is the same, for him, whether it is the Best NewAge Album Award or the Best Movie Soundtrack Album, after all, it is not as important as the Best Classical Contemporary Composition Award and the Best Classical Album Award, because he thinks this is Wang Qiming's ideal.
The Grammys are presented in early February, and this year's Oscars are presented in mid-March, so soon after winning the Grammys, it will soon be time for the Oscars to be awarded.
Shen Long reunited with Bertruch and other crew members again and came to the Chinese Grand Theatre in Hollywood, where this year's awards ceremony will be held.
"Bernardo, that's a good sign." Shen Long smiled and said to Bernardo Bertrucci that the Oscar at the China Grand Theater must be a good thing for this film about China.
