Chapter 106： Christmas war (1/2)
Chapter 106 Christmas War
On the night of the 23rd, there was another thing that deeply attracted the attention of the media, movie fans and filmmakers. That is, the 58th Golden Globe Awards will announce the nomination list. (Read novel) The Golden Globe Award is the third most important award in the American film and television industry, ranking after the Academy Awards and Emmy Awards. As the first film and television award awarded each year, it has always been regarded as the Academy Awards. Weather vane.
This year ’s Golden Globe Film Awards, as well as the 73rd Oscar, which will also be held next year, can be said to have been smoldering. Since there is no such popular movie that absolutely sweeps all awards this year, so in the media ’s predictions There are quite a few popular candidates and movies. Including the biggest hits ”Gladiator”, and ”The Deserted Life”, ”Almost Fame”, Li An's ”Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon”, Steven Soderbergh's two films ”Never Compromise” and ”Drug Network” and so on.
In the award for best director, Wang Yang is also a popular candidate in the media prediction table. The candidate's work is ”When Happiness Comes to Knock on the Door”; yesterday with the release of ”Junuo”, this teenage pregnancy movie suddenly became Popular, X News's latest nomination prediction even said that ”can't think of any reason why 'Magic Yang has not been selected as the best director'.”
In the spacious and welcoming living room, Wang Yang and Jessica sat on the fabric sofa and watched the advertisement playing on the TV screen in front. Jessica suddenly exhaled nervously and took a hug next to her and asked, ”Yang, if you are shortlisted ... No, you will be shortlisted, how do we celebrate next?” Wang Yang looked at With such a nervous look on her face, she couldn't help but smile, moved her arm around her waist and said: ”You just kiss me enough.” He kissed her on the cheek again and said: ”Don't be nervous, there is nomination , Happy; no nomination, still happy. ”
He is not nervous and does not care at all. In his mind, the greatest affirmation and praise come from the audience. They like the movie, laugh for it, cry for it, and be crazy for it. This is his greatest pursuit and enjoyment. On the one hand, it is reflected in the evaluation of the fans, on the other hand, it is the box office; the second place is the Oscar Award, which is an honor that all filmmakers are pursuing; and the Golden Globe Award, although it is the third in the United States Big film and television awards, but he does not have that kind of ”craving”, and this award ranks behind him.
The reason is that there are only more than 90 foreign journalists in the Golden Globe judges. Compared with the Oscar's more than 6,000 people, it is too much, which means that the impact of personal preferences will be amplified, and the possibility of black box operation is also high.
It's not about buying prizes and nominations directly, but ”pulling votes”. The film company will give some small favors to the judges, such as invitations to dinner parties and gift of champagne bouquets. This is also the thing done by the PR department of Flame Movies, giving away some of the surrounding accessories of the movie, not for special care, but for relatively fair treatment. Xiao Enhui is almost limited to this. The most powerful supervision is not the law, but the reporters and the paparazzi, who gave which benefit at a glance, so that in 1981, Pia Zadoya ’s husband once paid to invite the judges Going to Las Vegas to play, such historical events are still the main criticism of the Golden Globe Awards.
After all, this is the third-largest film and television award in the United States, and institutions and judges will naturally not go too far, and run counter to the media, otherwise it will not have any authority and importance, nor will it receive much attention and be hailed as an Oscar. wind vane. To keep this affirmation, the Golden Globe also needs to affirm good movies. If Oscar is a hearty and delicious meal, then the Golden Globe is at least a good hamburger, or more.
So Wang Yang felt that it would not be too disappointing not to be nominated; but if he can be shortlisted, that is also a very happy thing, and it means that there is a great chance of being shortlisted for Oscar.
”Well, I'm not nervous.” Jessica threw the pillow aside and leaned on his shoulder. After a few seconds, she suddenly stood up again and frowned. ”I can't do it.” ”Gate” and ”Junuo” were so great, how could they not be nominated? The Internet and the newspapers said yes, there must be ”Wang Yang smiled and hugged her hard, and heard from the TV,” Hello everyone , I'm Conan O'Brien's voice, she immediately looked at the LCD screen, her eyes lit up and said: ”Yang, start”
I saw the smile on the screen of Conan O'Brien, the host in charge of this year's awards. He walked to the glass table, put the list on the table, and spread his hands and smiled: ” The golden moment for the nomination of the Golden Globe Awards has arrived this year. We have many, many excellent movies. There are ... well, I ca n’t count them out, otherwise I will lose my suspense. ”He squeezed his eyes in the style of his late night talk show, laughing Tao: ”Well, then who will be nominated for the 58th Golden Globe Awards? Let's see”
He opened the nomination list on the stage, made a surprised expression, and ”wow”, said: ”The first thing I tell everyone is the film award, and the shortlist for the” best song ”...”
There are a total of 15 Golden Globes film awards, which are the best drama movie, best music / comedy movie, best director, drama and music / comedy best actor and actress, unified best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress; Best Screenplay, Best Soundtrack, Best Song, Best Foreign Language Film, Best Animation, and Cecil-B-Dymir Lifetime Achievement Award.
After reading the five nominations for the best song award, Conan O'Brien continued to announce: ”The five nominations for the best soundtrack are, Hans Zimmer, Lisa Gerard,” Gladiator; Tan Dun, ”Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon”; Jen-Kez Melik, ”When Happiness Comes to Knock”; Rachel Portman, ”Love Chocolate”; the three soundtracks of ”Horse” Division, Kristen Wilkinson, Mattis Stewart, Laripa-Kston. ”
When ”YES” heard Jane's name, Jessica immediately cheered happily, raising her clenched fist: ”One item nominated.” She looked at Wang Yang with her teeth clean and smiled: ”Too ”Wonderful” Wang Yang nodded with a smile, and he was very happy for Jane. ”When Happiness Comes Knocking on the Door” is the master soundtrack of Jane, and everything in the movie has been sublimated. Not to mention the Golden Globe Award, the Oscar nomination is the most deserving award for Jane.
”The shortlist for the best script is, Cameron Crowe,” Almost Fame ”; Kenneth Ronalgen,” You Can Rely on Me ”; Stephen Garhan,” Drug Network ”...”
Jessica held her breath and stared slightly at the TV screen. She remembered the predictive comments of the media newspaper. The script of ”Junuo” was praised as ”rare”, ”exquisite lines”, ”warm and profound ”Wait, it's Conan O'Brien on the big hit screen continuing to read the remaining two nominations:” Stephen Clover, ”Miracle”, Doug Wright, ”Quill Pen.” And There is no ”Junuo” or ”When happiness comes to knock on the door”.
”What?” She shouted in surprise, covering her forehead at a loss, and said in a lost way: ”God how can this be,” Junuo ”is obviously hot ... Oh, hell, are they blind? Wang Yang gently touched her head and comforted: ”Sweetheart, do n’t be like this. The lines of” Junuo ”are very popular on the Internet, which is enough. And although the Golden Globe Awards are not eye-catching. , But it may be nominated for an Oscar, who knows. ”
”Huh.” Jessica nodded, but she was still a little unhappy with her furrowed. Wang Yang plucked her ponytail and smiled: ”Please, my little Mary” Jessica glanced at him and smiled: ”Well, but if you are not in the best director, I'll go to the Hilton Hotel ”Killing Conan O'Brien” Wang Yang laughed and hugged her: ”Wonder Woman, I need to remind you that this is not the nomination he chose, he is only the host.” Jessica squinted with a smile. Staring at the TV screen, he said, ”I don't care. He let me down.”
During the joke between the two, Conan O'Brien announced the nomination list of Best Animation, Best Foreign Language Film, Best Actor and Supporting Actress, and soon came to the Best Actress (Music / Comedy) One item. ”Junuo” newspaper is in the music / comedy category, so Natalie Portman of ”genius performance” is a hot candidate for this award. The media's prediction table almost said ”Junuo 100” % Finalists ”.
”There are five nominees, Renee Zellweger,” Nurse Betty ”; Juliet Binoche,” Love Chocolate ”; Sandra Bullock,” The Beauty Undercover ”...” Conan-O Brian glanced at the list on the glass stage again and looked up with a smile: ”Natalie Portman,” Juneau. ”
”Wow. Wow ... two nominations.” Jessica smiled softly and adjusted her sitting position. She looked at Wang Yang's side face and smiled: ”Natalie is really acting Well, everyone said she could be shortlisted for Oscar. ”Wang Yang didn't say anything, just kissed her lips heavily. Jessica feels the martial spirit, the Holy King makes the holy king, and the night kills the **** seal, the throne, and asks the devil to prosper. Move the heaven and earth to kill the **** and seal the throne in the night and ask the devil to be proud of the Nine Chongtian strongest to discard the young Dazhou royal family In the warmth, her heartbeat thumped up, and she smiled: ”Yang, I know.”
Seeing the sweet smile on her face, Wang Yang also smiled. At this time, the mobile phone on the coffee table in front of him suddenly made a ding-dong sound. He took it over and saw it. It was a text message from Natalie: ”Dude, although this It was an expected thing, but my whole person was still burning. Thank you, ”he said to Jessica.” It was a text message from Natalie. She said she was happy, like it was burning. ”While pressing The key position of the mobile phone, replied Natalie: ”Dude, hurry up and call 911”
”You don't need to tell me.” Jessica leaned on his body. Wang Yang put down his phone and hugged her again and smiled: ”I can also tell you.” Jessica nodded with a smile: ”OK”
Between speaking, Conan O'Brien has finished reading the nominations for Best Actor (Music / Drama) and Best Actress (Drama), followed by the Best Actor (Drama). With impeccably moving interpretation in ”When Happiness Comes Knocking on the Door”, Will Smith is naturally the popular figure in this award, and he just got the worst actor's experience of Golden Sorrel last year, which also made him 'S acting breakthrough is even more legendary, and the media even praised it as ”great”.
”There are nominees for the best actor in the drama category ...” Looking at Conan O'Brien on the screen, Wang Yang also felt a little nervous in his heart. He hoped that Will Smith would get this honor. I saw Conan read: ”Russell Crowe,” Gladiator ”; Tom Hanks,” The Rest of the Desert ”; Jeffrey Rush,” Quill Pen ”; Michael Douglas,” Miracle Kid ”; And Will Smith, ”When Happiness Comes to Knock.”
”YES” Wang Yang and Jessica both laughed excitedly and gave each other a ”slap” high-five. Jessica smiled and said: ”Great, we have three nominations.” Wang Yang picked up his phone and gave Will Smith sent a congratulatory message while laughing: ”At the time Will and I were in” Late Night Talk Show ”, I told Conan O'Brien 'Will can get the Oscar', I can see him I thought I was crazy, but now, haha, he said the list himself. ”
After the actor in the best drama category, there are three awards that have received the most attention, best drama, best music / comedy, and best director. When he heard that ”Juneau” was shortlisted for the best music / comedy, Jessica shouted happily: ”Four nominations” and Wang Yang, who was also very happy, celebrated with high-five; but then she scolded with disappointment again A few words from the Association of Foreign Journalists, because ”When Happiness Comes Knocking on the Door” has won the competition for the best feature film.
”Now is the last film award, the nomination list for the best director.” Conan O'Brien smiled and picked up the list on the table. He looked at it, with a mysterious look on his face, ready to laugh out loud: ” Who is it? What are you talking about? Steven Soderbergh, oh yeah, who else is there? Let ’s take a look at the 58th Golden Globe Award for Best Director ... ”
”Oh my **** ...” Jessica's breathing became very fast. She clung to Wang Yang tightly, grabbed his hand tightly, and murmured without blinking her eyes: ”I Oh my **** ... ”Wang Yang smiled, sniffing the scent of her hair and gently patting her back, as if she was competing for the best director. Conan O'Brien read on the screen: ”Steven Soderbergh,” Drug Network ”; Ridley Scott,” Gladiator ”; Li An,” Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon ... ”
As the three nominees were read out, there were only two left. Jessica's heartbeat almost stopped, flushed with nervousness, and quickly read: ”Yang, Yang, Yang, Yang ...”
Wang Yang was also nervous for a moment, looking at the screen with breath, it was always a pleasure to get a nomination, and he did not want to let Jessica down, nor did he want to let his parents and good friends down, he whispered My mother ’s voice of encouragement sounded: “A lot of neighborhood friends asked me these days, can Xiao Yang get the nomination for the Best Director of the Golden Globe Award? I said to them,“ My son is still young. Times. 'Sweetheart, understand? I will always be proud of you.'
”It's Steven Soderbergh again. This is the first time in” Never Compromise ”. A director has two nominations at the same time.” Conan O'Brien wowed and closed the nomination list, laughing: ” There is also the last nominee, Wang Yang, ”Juno”
”Wow” Jessica sat up suddenly, jumped off the sofa excitedly, her face full of smile, shouted with a trembling voice: ”Yang, you are shortlisted, you did it, you are the best director of the Golden Globe Awards ”Wang Yang stood up and spread his hands, hugged her tightly, exhaled, and smiled:” Well, Jessica, we did thank you for your trust. ”
The two looked at each other ’s eyes, and their heartbeats became fast. Wang Yang held her face in both hands. Her eyes were filled with love and expectation. He smiled and said: ”I want to reward” Jessica laughed Road: ”Well, come on,” he said, and he kissed her lips.
Just as they kissed passionately, the phone at home and the mobile phone on the coffee table rang, and the two kissed for a while before they reluctantly separated. Wang Yang picked up his cell phone, looked at it, and took the channel: ”Good evening, Will.” Will Smith over there smiled excitedly: ”MAN, this is crazy. I got the Golden Globe Award. The nomination, like a dream, really thank you and congratulations, MAN, the youngest Golden Globe Award nomination for best director ... ”
The blushing Jessica hurried to the wall over the phone. She picked up the phone and hurled ”Hello” briskly. She looked back at Wang Yang sweetly and smiled at the microphone: ”Well Thank you, it ’s really great, he ’s talking on his phone, um ... ”
”Man, there must be a lot of people congratulating you, so bye bye.” Hearing Will-Smith say this, Wang Yang laughed: ”You too, bye” ended the call, he opened the newly received text message on his phone I ca n’t see that much. It ’s all from the company, the crew, and my good friends. He has just finished reading Rachel ’s “Yang, congratulations, no reply.” He is about to check the next Michael Pete ’s. Call.
Seeing the caller ”Natalie Portman”, Wang Yang smiled and said, ”What's wrong? Are you in the hospital now? How burned?” Natalie laughed and said: ”Almost dying, happy to die Hey, when the guy announced just now, I was thinking 'No Yang, No Yang, No Yang ...' It turns out that you have nominated, which is really good”
Wang Yang looked at Jessica who was talking on the phone over there, wondering and saying: ”Are you right? No Yang?” Natalie over there said casually: ”Of course not, I gave it to myself Psychological implied, if there is really no you in the end, I will not be disappointed; but if you get nominated, I will get a surprise. ”Wang Yang couldn't help but smile, said:” Well, this is what you learned at Harvard? ” ”Natalie said:” There are drugs, ... ”Wang Yang smiled and said:” OK, OK, I have to hang up, bye ”
The first time it caused a heated discussion among the media and movie fans, everyone has something to be satisfied and dissatisfied.
X News.com was very puzzled that ”Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” was not selected as the best feature film. It made a large-scale report on the topic of ”Golden Globe Award” ”Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon”, questioning whether the judges were unfair, ”This is a serious mistake.” Steven Soderberg alone holds the two best directors and two best feature films, and it is also the place where the media question the controversy, although the two films are classics. , But isn't ”Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon”? Isn't ”The Deserted Life” right? They pointed directly: ”The Golden Globe Award needs to be reflected”
One of the most blamed places on this list is that ”Junuo” has not been nominated for the best script. Look at the online chat. A large number of lines in ”Junuo” have become the trend language. ”Said it” spread quickly on the Internet, which is the charm of its dialogue; and its story, the critics' consistent praise and high rating, the ideas contained in it were excavated bit by bit, without any Doubtful classic.
But now, it has lost Yahoo Entertainment's comment on this: ”What a joke? Are the 90 judges of the Golden Globe Awards all Stone Age people?” Fans also expressed their anger and even thought that Golden Globe The judges received the money to make such an unsavory decision. ”Junuo” should be nominated, and should receive this award. The fans of the suspense film are also very dissatisfied. The script of ”Memory Fragment” is unparalleled, absolutely It was a precedent for creating suspenseful logic films, but it also failed.
Are the Golden Globe judges neglecting the magic, and the flames movie? But it seems not. Will Smith was nominated; Natalie Portman was also nominated; and Wang Yang was also nominated for the best director, thus refreshing the nomination record of the youngest best director in one fell swoop. Of course, these three nominations are all popular predictions before, if they fail, they will cause controversy.
This year's Golden Globe Awards have three directors who have attracted the most attention and media coverage. For the first time, Steven Soderbergh received two nominations; for the first time, a Chinese director was shortlisted, Li An; for the first time, a Chinese director Finalist, Wang Yang, 20 years and 10 months old. The masses of the media naturally prefer legendary and miraculous characters. ”The youngest director nomination” is enough. The reports of miraculous young characters suddenly increase: ”He has since entered the ranks of first-class directors.”
