Chapter 418 Li Press's Golden Horse Invitation

""Truman's World" won the Golden Globe Award, Li Qian set a mainland film record, and won the Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film for the first time!"

"The first person in the history of mainland films, Li Qian has created a new history in the mainland film industry!"

"At ten o'clock in the morning on January 13, 2013, in the live broadcast of the Mi Lijian Film and Television Golden Globe Awards Ceremony, "Truman's World" defeated the Odili movie "Love", the Norwegian film "The Lonely Raft", the French film "Untouchable", and the single microphone movie "The History of the Royal Family" to win the Best Foreign Language Film Award, achieving a zero breakthrough in the Golden Globe Award for mainland film history!"

"The first Golden Globe trophy for mainland films, "Truman's World" is famous overseas!"

......

Just after the live broadcast of the Golden Globe Awards was broadcast to Stallone announcing the winning film for Best Foreign Language Film, major media also reported the news that "Truman's World" successfully won the Best Foreign Language Film Award for the first time.

In the past, let alone the Golden Globes, these media would not be so positive for the Oscars.

The Golden Globe Awards don't seem to have been broadcast live once, whether it's CCTV or video websites.

Not to mention the live broadcast, even after the ceremony, the TV station will not broadcast it in its entirety, but just edit it and broadcast a summary.

Only in 06 years, "Wuji" and "Kung Fu" two Chinese films competed for the Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film, and Li Press's "Brokeback Mountain" is also a big hit, CCTV 6 did a special feature in the "World Movie Journey" program "Watching Chinese Filmmakers Compete for the Golden Globe Award".

This time, because "Truman's World" is not only nominated for the Golden Globe Award, the Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film is basically nominated every other year in the mainland.

What's more, "Truman's World" was also nominated for an Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, the first time in a decade.

Optoelectronics attaches great importance to it, CCTV 6 sets, that is, the movie channel began to broadcast the whole process live in the morning, and Penguin Video also won the right to broadcast live online.

All kinds of media did not need to be said by others, and took the initiative to report spontaneously, and the news immediately spread all over the Internet.

Record-breaking, zero-break, milestone... One by one, unusual words are used in Li Qian and "Truman's World".

As a phenomenal masterpiece that won 1.7 billion box office, "Truman's World" is completely different from ordinary niche literary films, the whole industry pays attention, the whole network pays attention, and many audiences who have watched the movie will pay attention.

"Li Qian is awesome, he won the Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film!"

"The Golden Globe Award has been won, and the Oscar is not far away, don't they all say that the Golden Globe Award is the vane of the Oscars!"

"The first Golden Globe trophy for mainland films, although it is not as good as the Oscar, but it is there, and now the Oscar is missing!"

"A commercial film or a comedy can win the Golden Globe Award, not to mention the Golden Globe Awards and Oscars in the future. ”

"Mi Lijian also seems to approve of the movie "Truman's World", no wonder they don't talk about freedom every day. ”

"I don't think it's better to get your hopes up, Li Qian won the Golden Globe Award for the first time, and the Oscar has little hope, after all, it's a comedy, the Oscar will wait for next time. ”

"So inferiority? What's wrong with comedy, "Truman's World" has an IMBD score of 810 million, and the North American reputation is also very good, and it won the Golden Globe Award, why can't it win the Oscar?"

"As a professional, I would like to tell you that the Golden Globe Awards are now not authoritative at all, and they are becoming more and more entertaining, all for the ratings and audiences, which is completely different from the selection criteria of the Oscars. ”

", according to what you say, wouldn't it be that the movies that won the Golden Globe won't win the Oscars, so why should others participate!"

"Bullshit professionals, most of the movies that won the Golden Globe Awards last year also won the Oscars, aren't the professionals of Mi Lijian as professional as you?"

"Mi Lijian's professionals, no! Domestic keyboard professionals, okay!",

"Last year's Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film also won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, and "Truman's World" has at least a 50% chance. ”

""Truman's World" has great hope, and it is the first time that a mainland film has won an Oscar!"

"There are still people who say that Li Qian's movies have no connotation, they are just commercial films, and they want to have fun, some people blow those literary films all day long, why don't literary films win an Oscar!"

"The good-looking literary films are called commercial films, and the obscure ones are literary films, and there are a few literary films that won the Oscars, and most of them are commercial films. ”

"But anyway, after winning the Golden Globes, the chances of the Oscars have greatly increased. ”

......

Winning the Golden Globe Award, netizens are more confident in rushing to the Olympics, and at the same time, they are becoming more and more enthusiastic about discussing, even in the morning, the Golden Globe Awards have just been the best foreign language film, and the news about "Truman's World" winning the award can be seen everywhere on the Internet.

At the Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, on the other side of the ocean, Li Qian also held the trophy and continued to sit in the audience and watch the ceremony continue.

The entire awards ceremony did not cause much turmoil because Li Qian won the award, after all, this is Hollywood, and Li Qian only won the best foreign language film.

However, Deng Chao and they are quite excited, no matter what, after all, it is the only Golden Globe trophy in the mainland, and it is also known as the Golden Globe Award for the Oscars.

"Oscar should be stable now. Tong Liya said expectantly.

Li Qian shook his head, "It's hard to say, the current hit is the Odilli movie "Love", the Oscar taste is very strange, and even "Untouchable" was not nominated. ”

"I watched "Untouchable" last year, and it is also a comedy, is it that the Oscar judges don't like comedy like this?" Deng Chao said with a frown.

"I've also seen it, this movie is very touching, the comic score seems to be 9.2 points, and it doesn't even have an Oscar nomination. Zhang Wei also said.

"It's normal, to be precise, it's not to be able to watch entertaining and positive comedy movies, Chaplin even changed the nominations for best actor and best director halfway through that year, let alone win awards. ”

Chaplin's nomination will be swapped, which is really funny.

But what's even funnier is that Chaplin later moved to Switzerland, and the Oscars specially invited him back once again and presented him with an honorary award for his contribution to the film industry.

When people made movies, all the nominations were withdrawn, and when they were seventy or eighty years old, they were called back from abroad and given an honorary award.

In the twenties, Chaplin's nomination was withdrawn, and a special award was also given.

What's even funnier is that last year's Oscar winner, "The Artist", invited Chaplin's two granddaughters to host a grand screening event for the academy.

Because this movie looks a lot like Chaplin's autobiography, inviting his granddaughter to make people think of movies and Chaplin even more.

Similarly, "The Artist" is also a comedy movie, and as a result, it swept the Oscars last year, winning Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actor.

And "Sing in the Rain", another film in the 50s, which also showed the development of cinema from the silent film era to the sound era, also had comedy elements, but only won two nominations.

In terms of quality, "Singin' in the Rain" is the greatest song and dance film in Hollywood film history, and even the Mi Lijian Film Institute ranked it fifth in the history of world cinema, ahead of many classic films.

A movie that won in all aspects such as technology, watchability, and academic evaluation did not win the award, and the film that was almost good in all aspects swept the Oscars.

The difference is nothing more than that the protagonist of "The Artist" does not accept sound films, feels sorry for himself, and even wants to commit suicide.

And the protagonist of "Sing in the Rain" is actively accepting sound movies, and the plot is much more comfortable to watch than "The Artist".

The reason why "The Artist" won the award is this difference, the process of the actor switching from silent films to sound films is very tortuous, and it is a person who fights against an era, rather than adapting to the times.

If "Truman's World" makes the confrontation between Truman and the program team and the capitalists a little more intense, with more space, the front is concealed and pitiful, the struggle in the middle is mainly pathos, and the final ending is more inspirational, then Li Qian will have absolute confidence to win the award.

But in that case, first of all, there is not enough time, and secondly, although there are many contradictions, the struggle in the middle is mainly pathos, not absurd, and there is much less entertainment.

A 90-minute film, time is very limited, and there is a trade-off.

......

The ceremony lasted three hours and didn't end until 11 p.m.

There was a banquet after the ceremony, and Li Zhao went straight to Li Qian and said goodbye, "Congratulations to Director Li for winning the first Golden Globe Award for mainland films." ”

Li Press's "Life of Pi" won nothing, and both Best Picture and Best Director were taken away by "Escape from Hedland".

This film tells the story of 6 Mi Lijian diplomats and civilians, who were trapped in Yin Lang for 444 days when Yin Lang had just won the *** revolution, and was finally successfully rescued by CIA agents.

Mi Lijian and Yin Lang are mortal enemies, a political thriller, unexpected, and expected.

It is also a commercial film, in fact, most of the Oscars and Golden Globes are commercial films.

Neither of the two awards was won, Li Qian obviously saw that Li Press was a little disappointed, touched a glass with him, and said with a smile.

"Thank you Director Li, it's a pity to "Life of Pi", but "Escape from Hedland" is a political film, the Golden Globe Award doesn't mean much, and it is not nominated for the Oscar for Best Director, Director Li is still the biggest favorite. ”

Another big hit is Spielberg, the director of "Lincoln", but he has already won Best Director twice, which is a disadvantage.

"Then thank Li Daojiyan. Li pressed a smile, paused, and said, "Director Li, next year I will be the chairman of the jury of the Golden Horse Awards, and welcome you and your directors to participate in the Golden Horse Awards." ”

Golden Horse Awards?

Li Qian shook his head, "Director Li, everyone understands people, and I'm not afraid of saying anything unpleasant, whether I participate in the Golden Horse Awards or not has no substantive significance, the focus is not on me."

Among them, the initiative has always been in the hands of the Golden Horse Awards, because they don't want to take the initiative to integrate into the mainland film circle, always keep a distance, and even be too deliberate and hostile to mainland films. ”

"Hey. ”

Li Ji sighed, Li Qian said so, and he was embarrassed to force anything more.

Although I can't see the approach of the group of people at the Golden Horse Awards, I am also a little disgusted, and I know what to do all day long.

But there is no way, the funds for his first film "Pusher" that year were still given by the Information Bureau, and Xu Ligong, who supported him to make "Pusher", is the founder of the Golden Horse Film Festival.

In the past two years, Li Qian and his blockbuster movies have not participated in the Golden Horse Awards, which undoubtedly makes the Golden Horse Awards lose a lot of color.

However, although it was the first time to meet Li Qian, I still had a certain understanding of Li Qian.

The temper is not small, the industry status is very important, and now he has opened a company again, the development is very good, there is no shortage of fame and fortune, and he is determined not to participate in the Golden Horse Awards, no matter how he says it, it is in vain.

Li Qian thought about it and said with a smile, "Actually, Director Li can invite "1942", this movie is also very good, but it is not suitable for the Chinese New Year." ”

"1942"?" Li pressed a wry smile, 10 years ago, Ma Xiaogang and the Golden Horse Awards started a scolding war.

At that time, Ma Xiaogang scolded the entire Golden Horse Awards, and even the directors of Xiangjiang and Baodao.

Of course, it was also counterattacked by filmmakers from Xiangjiang and Baodao.

Ma Xiaogang also said that he would not participate in the Golden Horse Awards again, and "If You Are the Truth, Do Not Disturb 2" just did not participate, but ran to participate in the Academy Awards.

There are more than 6 Xiangjiang people in the creative team, Shu Qi, photographers, artists, etc., as well as Uniasia's investment, which is eligible to apply.

In the end, he won the Best Cross-Strait Chinese Film Award.

Ma Xiaogang is like this, and he will agree to be invited to participate in the Golden Horse Awards, which is strange.

"Director Li might as well try to invite him. Li Qian smiled, Ma Xiaogang said that he would not go to the Golden Rooster Awards, so he still went.
