Chapter 385: The First Time I Came to the Unfamiliar Road
The number of viewers of the 62nd Golden Globe Awards last year was only 16.7 million, down nearly 40% from the record 26.8 million of the 61st the year before, and also set a new embarrassing record.
The nominees and the film are not popular, they met "Desperate Housewives", the list of award presenters is mediocre, the red carpet catwalk is not good-looking, and the host has no highlights......
The 62nd edition was a huge failure, an unacceptable result for both the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) and NBC, the livestreamer, and we can't do it again this year!
For example, Ye Wei.
The cover title of the latest issue of Time magazine today, January 16, is "Movie-Genius-VIY", and the 17-year-old and 331-day-old movie genius who has become a pop culture icon is on the cover, with a youthful and mature outfit, a diagonal back to the director's viewfinder, a tall figure, sharp eyes, and a hearty smile.
Anyone who sees it will say, young and handsome.
From March 2004, "Dance of Angels" was broadcast on Nickelodeon, and the prodigy VIY began to appear.
By January 2006, after nearly two years, it was finally no longer a meteor, sometimes dim, sometimes brilliant, but it was a star in the sky.
Interestingly, many years ago, on August 31, 1987, the cover of Time magazine was titled "Those-Asian-American-Whiz-Kids", and one of the six prodigies on the cover was 12-year-old Japanese Qiu Zeng, who later graduated from Harvard-Westlake School and Brown University, and was a special effects artist for ILM and one of the main characters in the TV series "Heroes".
Although Ye Wei was expelled from Harvard-Westlake, he is still one of the signboards, I really don't know if this is another prodigy honor of HW.
It's not just magazine covers, it's been news lately that he's been doing it. In all the Golden Globe preview programs and media reports, VIY has been mentioned a lot, will the prodigy be able to walk on the podium tonight?Best Director?Best Musical/Drama Picture?What will he say on the red carpet, on the possible stage?
The 185 media outlets around the world who participated in the event are paying close attention!
The 30,000-square-foot red carpet in front of the Hilton Beverly Hills features 58 cameras, 65 photojournalists, and more than 100 text and television reporters reporting from driveway to porch.
As Laurie Masterson, one of the Golden Globe judges and one of the ceremony planners, put it: "It's going to be a big party in 2006!"
If you ask who are the other nominees for this year's Golden Globe Awards?
George Clooney, Heath Ledger, Johnny Depp, Reese Witherspoon, Rachel Weisz, Mary Louise Parker, ...... Peter Jackson, Spielberg, Ang Lee...... 7 nominations lead the list with "Brokeback Mountain" for "Little Sunshine Beauty", Tom Hanks, Alan Arkin, Abigil Brysling.
This night is starry!
......
At 16:48 p.m. Los Angeles time, the star admission outside the Hilton Hotel was nearing the end, and only sporadic celebrity guests walked on the red carpet, stopped, and were interviewed by reporters.
"Is VIY coming?"
"Not yet, didn't see him!"
"He's not going to sneak in through the side door, is he?"
HFPA guaranteed that Ye Wei would walk the red carpet, and his blog also wrote that he would bring representatives of the deceived girls as his female companions. ”
"Oh, who is it?"
The photojournalists in the photography area on the left side of the red carpet show channel are talking, from the end of the driveway to the end of the hotel, a pair of eyes are searching for Ye Wei's figure on the red carpet, he is definitely not difficult to identify, the only youth nominee and guest of this year.
It's almost 5 o'clock, and the organizers have already said that all the guests should enter the venue and take their seats before 5 o'clock. There are still ten minutes left, and the other nominees of LMS have already arrived, why hasn't Ye Wei come yet!
Thinking of this possibility, the reporters were worried, and the organizers were even more worried, that the loss of VIY would be equivalent to the loss of the biggest hot spot of the night, and it might be equivalent to the loss of 5 million viewers. -- The Nielsen Company's authoritative research and forecast.
At the same time, countless TV viewers are also waiting to see Ye Wei.
If it weren't for one of NBC's promotional slogans before, "Are you looking for VIY? The 63rd Golden Globe Awards, you must watch NBC!", many young girl viewers would not watch this show at all, and many Asian viewers would not, and Ang Lee's personal charm as an old man cannot be compared with Ye Wei.
Many VIY fans will not either, today is just to watch the prodigy.
The same will not be true for the incalculable overseas audience, which will be broadcast in more than 130 countries and regions around the world, and in Chinese mainland, CCTV-6 will be broadcast at 22:00 on the evening of the 17th. More than hundreds of millions of viewers around the world will tune in to the ceremony!
......
A black Hummer courtesy car drove down North Santa Monica Avenue to the Hilton Hotel, with Ye Wei and Mody sitting in the back seats, and Gia and Rachel-Zoe sitting in the middle row.
"Do you feel okay?" Ye Wei asked as he looked at Mo Di.
From yesterday morning to now, Mody has been looking stupid for a long time, nodded when she heard the sound, and shook her head violently, "I'm nervous......"
"Haha, no need, you're going to be the most beautiful in the audience today. Ye Wei said with a smile, looking at the street scene outside the window, "And we will not stay on the red carpet for long, even if we want to stay, the staff will pull us in." I'm smart, aren't I?"
Masterson texted again. "They're going crazy!" Rachel Zoe said, "Johnny Depp was almost late last year, and it's you this year." ”
"I'm not that bad, I don't like to be late, it's just right. ”
"VIY, I want to ask you......" Mody asked with a blushing face.
"What? ”
"Can I treat this event as a performance?" Mody's eyes sparkled with hope, "Walking the red carpet, at the dinner, I play someone else, or a role?"
Ye Wei looked at her in amazement, and then said: "Of course not, what the hell is that? Will Johnny Depp play Captain Jack on the red carpet, please, you will be Modie Seedington! As he spoke, through the gaps in the green trees, he could already see the outline of the Hilton Hotel in the distance.
Gia reminded: "Ready, there is still one minute to walk on the red carpet." ”
"VIY, no. Mo Di's face broke out in a cold sweat, "I must perform, that's me!
"Don't be nervous, pay attention to your makeup!" Rachel Zoe said quickly, "Take a deep breath, Mody, count, one, two, three......"
At this point, the courtesy car slowed down and turned onto the Merv-Griffin Trail, where signs reading "Golden-Globe-Awards" began to stand on both sides of the road.
"30 seconds left! Ready!" Gia said again.
Ye Wei unbuckled his seat belt and yelled at Mo Di: "If you faint in fear as soon as you get out of the car, I will wake you up, you fall down on the red carpet, and I will carry you in." Be yourself! Listen, Mody, it's the first time I've been to an awards ceremony of this level, I'm not nervous, maybe? I'm nervous, yes, hundreds of millions of people around the world will see us, so what? We're cool kids!"
"10 seconds left!" shouted Gia.
The car has already driven to the entrance of the red carpet and stopped, and there are no two points in the terrain. This is a double channel, walking on the left is a red carpet show, on the right although there is also a red carpet but ordinary guests and staff passage, there is a flower bed and a sign in the middle of the passage, and the left side of the left side of the low flower bar is the photography area.
There was a bang outside the car, the sound of reporters running, the sound of cameras and cameras running like heavy rain, and the security staff in red vests who came up to help open the door to greet them.
"Did Oliver flinch before he took the stage? Was he booed and scared by the audience? No, she was the real winner because she won herself!"
Ye Wei untied the seat belt, and also helped the Meng Ran Mo Di untie it, and sorted out his clothes. The doors on both sides were unlocked, the staff opened the door, and Jiya and Rachel-Zoe, who got out of the car first, helped Mody get out of the car from the back of the entrance and quickly checked her makeup; Ye Wei walked out of the front door of the entrance.
At a glance, the long red carpet leads to the hotel building, and the magnesium lights shine wildly.
"VIY!", "VIY!", "This way!!" the excited cries of the photojournalists rushed to him, as if they were afraid that he would not walk the red carpet channel.
Laurie Masterson said in a tone that was about to collapse: "Why did you come? VIY, it's really not good, hurry, walk the red carpet." She commanded several staff members to almost take his arm to the left, there were less than 10 minutes left until 5 o'clock, and there were no other celebrity guests on the red carpet, there were no on either side, empty and quiet.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know the road for the first time, and I won't be next year. Ye Wei said.
"Walk the red carpet quickly!! there are interviews to ......"
At this time, Mody came over with a red face, she was not wearing high heels, just a pair of flat doll shoes, but her steps were still a little swaying, and she didn't dare to look at the photography area.
She had already rehearsed, she stood on Ye Wei's left, her height was one head behind him, he dragged her right hand with his left hand, and walked towards the red carpet show channel, Let's-Go-Get-It!
Seeing VIY coming with a beautiful girl with a raw face, the reporters in the audience were a sensation!
TV viewers have finally seen the prodigy!
