Chapter 446 Golden Globe Award for Best Director
Matt Damon and DiCaprio sat down in jeopardy because... it was finally time to award the Best Actor in a Drama Series award.
Both of them were nominated. Matt Damon was nominated for the Best Actor in this year's Golden Globe Awards for his leading role in "The Wolf of Wall Street", and DiCaprio was nominated for this year's Best Actor for his leading role in "The Road to Life". A Golden Globe Award for Best Actor.
Wang Shu feels that if Matt Damon can win an award, he will have to give one to DiCaprio.
So if it were not for his appearance, the role of the male protagonist of "The Wolf of Wall Street" would have been played by DiCaprio in the original timeline.
I saw the award presenter on the stage opening the envelope and loudly saying: "The winner of this year's Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a Drama Series is Mickey Rourke for "The Wrestler."
Forget it. A Matt Damon, the final winner of the Best Actor Award remains unchanged, it is still won by Mickey Rourke.
Mickey Rourke has been in the industry for thirty years and is a senior in the Hollywood industry.
It’s just that as a native American actor, Mickey Rourke, like many native American actors, does not have outstanding acting skills.
To be able to win the award for "The Wrestler" this time, in addition to having the qualifications, the true character role has a great advantage.
Mickey Rourke was originally a boxer. He got an acting opportunity by chance, and then changed his career to an actor.
The male lead of "The Wrestler" was originally set to star Nicolas Cage. He also went to an event held by the Independent Wrestling Alliance in New York to observe and prepare for the role.
Only because of some reasons, I resigned.
After Nicolas Cage stopped playing, the role fell to Mickey Rourke.
And, the movie will be released on January 16, 2009.
Currently, it has not been released in theaters.
However, it followed the same path as "The Wolf of Wall Street". In order to compete for the Academy Awards, it was screened in advance at the Academy on December 31, 2008.
As long as it premieres at the Academy before New Year's Day, you will be eligible to compete for the Academy Awards.
"The Wolf of Wall Street" was not as outrageous as "The Wrestler" and premiered at the Academy on the last day of 2008.
"The Wolf of Wall Street" will at least premiere at the Academy in late December to meet the conditions for participating in the Oscars, and then be released in early January.
As Mickey Rourke's name fell, the awards ceremony suddenly erupted in enthusiastic applause.
Although DiCaprio and Matt Damon were also applauding, Wang Shu knew that they must be extremely disappointed.
After all, although the Golden Globe Awards are not as good as the Academy Awards, they are still the only awards in Hollywood after the Oscars.
This award is also not easy to win, and it is also a very prestigious honor.
After being disappointed, Matt Damon looked back at Wang Shu and forced a smile: "The next step is up to you."
At this Golden Globe Awards, only two awards are actually related to Wang Shu.
One is nominated for Best Screenplay for "The Tuner" and the other is nominated for Best Director for "The Wolf of Wall Street".
The former has already received the award, and the latter will be awarded soon.
It is undeniable that "The Tuner" and "The Wolf of Wall Street" were both nominated for Best Picture. However, this award belongs to the entire cast and is accepted by the producer. In fact, it has nothing to do with Wang Shu.
If it is in China, under the director-centered system, the best film award naturally belongs to the director and the entire crew.
But in Hollywood, which is a producer-centered system, the best film belongs to the producers, investors and the entire crew.
As Matt Damon’s voice fell, the eyes of Monica, Sister Shitou, Kristen and others all fell on Wang Shu. Like Matt Damon, let’s see what happens next. look.
Not far away, Anne Hathaway also looked at where Wang Shu was.
The next step was the competition for the Best Director Award. She happened to have watched the movie "The Wolf of Wall Street" before, and she knew that there was a lot of interest in this movie on the Internet, so she couldn't help but wonder whether this movie could win the award. Get a prize.
Anne Hathaway was nominated for this year's Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Drama Series for "My Sister's Wedding". As an authentic American actor, Anne Hathaway's acting skills are different from those of most Americans. The same as the actors, very average.
It would be difficult for an actor like her to win awards without an excellent script.
Some actors, whose starring movies are not that good, can win awards for their excellent performances.
Some actors only came to the altar after encountering a good script.
Anne Hathaway is such an actor. She first became famous with the Disney movie "The Princess Diaries", and then successfully transformed with Li Yu's "Brokeback Mountain". In 2013, she won an Oscar for "Les Misérables" Award for Best Supporting Actress.
She became famous because she encountered Disney movies, and her successful transformation was due to the opportunity given by Li Eucalyptus, which made her encounter "Brokeback Mountain", a movie that swept the Oscars. Later, she won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress after encountering "Les Misérables" 》This drama.
As for Anne Hathaway, she pays attention to the Internet because she is one of the most disgusted female celebrities among European and American netizens.
The disgusting thing is not that Anne Hathaway made a mistake, but that Anne Hathaway's company set her up as a perfect princess and good girl, but she turned out to be funny to the outside world. image.
The marketing persona does not match the real person image, which makes many people extremely disgusted with it.
Wang Shu didn’t know that Anne Hathaway was looking at him. At this moment, he was responding to the poisonous milk from Matt Damon and others.
“I hope I can win the prize.” Wang Shu smiled and answered, “I am still young, even if I miss it this time, I will try again in the future.”
This is the truth, but Monica, Matt Damon, Sister Shitou and others looked incomprehensible when they heard it.
Wang Shu is a talented director who can write and direct himself. When Monica and others heard this, no one believed that Wang Shu would not be able to come back again. On the contrary, it would not be so easy for actors like them to come back again. .
There are many films that are nominated for the Golden Globe Awards and the Academy Awards every year. There are few directors like Wang Shu who have just come to Hollywood and made two films, both of which were nominated for the Golden Globe Awards.
For many other directors, it is extremely difficult to be nominated for a Golden Globe Award, but it seems easy for Wang Shu.
Although whether Wang Shu can win the award is a question mark, but... all actors who participate in the movies directed by him can compete for actor awards.
For actors, other things are not important. Being able to be nominated for the Actor Award and participate in the Grand Prize competition is the most important thing.
Other awards, no matter how many you win, have nothing to do with the actors.
Only the Actor Award is an honor that belongs to actors.
"Shu, do you still have the idea of competing for the Golden Globe and Oscar?" Monica couldn't help but ask.
After asking this question, Sister Shitou, Christine, Sister Widow, and others all focused their attention on Wang Shu. Others in the venue were very confused when they saw this.
I don’t know why they all look at Wang Shu?
Is it possible that he is wishing Wang Shu to win the award?
“I haven’t considered that much yet.” Wang Shu responded smoothly, “I mean as long as I don’t change my career, I will come back again after such a long time.”
Mo Nika and the others nodded after hearing this, each with their own thoughts.
Wang Shu’s strength is obvious to all. Monica, Sister Shitou and others are convinced that if they can participate in the art film directed by Wang Shu, there is a high probability that they will have the opportunity to participate in the competition for the Actor Award at major award ceremonies. .
As an actor, no one wants to win awards.
Therefore, whether it is Monica, Sister Shitou, or Matt Damon, they all hope to cooperate with Wang Shu in the future.
Working with a talented director, although there is no guarantee that you will win an award, at least your hard work will not be in vain. When working with ordinary directors, often the art films they participate in cannot even win the Golden Globe Award, let alone have the opportunity to compete for the Academy Award.
While Wang Shu was communicating with Monica and others, someone around asked curiously about the situation.
"What are Monica and the others talking about? Why are they all looking at Wang Shu?" someone asked secretly.
“It seems that Wang Shu will be planning to make an art film next,” someone answered.
"What? Wang Shu has written the script and is planning to make a movie soon?"
"Ah? Wang Shu is selecting actors now?"
Annie· Hathaway saw many people whispering, and her funny personality naturally couldn't help but ask the people she knew around her: "What are they talking about?"
One person understood some of the situation and replied in a low voice: "It seems that Wang Shu has written the script and is preparing to make a movie. The actors have not yet been determined."
Needless to say, this includes Anne Hathaway Everyone instantly understood why someone was whispering.
The actors have not yet been determined, which means that everyone here will have the opportunity to audition.
"That's it." Xiao Lizi looked stunned, and now he understood what was going on, and his eyes subconsciously looked towards where Wang Shu was.
In the original timeline, he won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor for "The Wolf of Wall Street".
Now played by Matt Damon, he meets Mickey Rourke and didn't win.
It’s not that Mickey Rourke is strong, but that this person happens to be acting in his true colors, and coupled with his high qualifications, he has an advantage.
Of course, there is also Matt Damon's acting, which is indeed relatively average.
If his acting skills were good, it would not have been until 2016 that he won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a Musical/Comedy for "The Martian".
As for the Oscars, although I was nominated, I ran with him throughout the whole process.
DiCaprio actually won the Academy Award for Best Actor in 2016.
On the stage, the award-giving guests have already taken the stage, and all the filmmakers at the scene quieted down and stared at the center of the stage.
The award presenter first interacted to adjust the atmosphere, then opened the envelope and took a look, and then said loudly: "The winner of this year's Golden Globe Award for Best Director is Wang Shu's "The Wolf of Wall Street"."
In January 2009, the United States was still in the quagmire of economic crisis.
During this period, "The Wolf of Wall Street" was released, instantly sparking heated discussions across the Internet and becoming one of the hottest topics in North America.
Carrying this general trend, the Golden Globe Awards finally had to consider the consequences of not awarding a single award to "The Wolf of Wall Street".
Any judge with no brains can realize that if the award is not awarded to "The Wolf of Wall Street" in the heat and atmosphere of the financial crisis, then the Golden Globe Awards will definitely be questioned and ridiculed by the entire network. This will cause great damage to the image of the Golden Globe Awards.
Under the general trend, going against the trend will only lead to bruises and losses.
Therefore, even if you do not want to award the award to "The Wolf of Wall Street", you must consider these off-site factors and award the award to "The Wolf of Wall Street".
If "The Wolf of Wall Street" was not released at a time when the financial crisis was raging, it would be up to the judges to decide whether to award the award.
But now, we have to consider the consequences of not awarding the award to "The Wolf of Wall Street."
After much thought and discussion, we finally decided to award the Best Director Award to "The Wolf of Wall Street".
The Golden Globe Awards are hosted by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. Both the judges and the organizers are also concerned about their own reputation.
Under this general trend, refusing to give "The Wolf of Wall Street" the award will not only affect the reputation of the Golden Globe Awards, but also their reputation.
At this moment, as the voice of the award-presenting guest fell, the scene suddenly burst into warm applause.
Sister Shitou, Christine and others not only applauded the hardest, but even cheered for Wang Shu happily.
When other people at the scene heard the name Wang Shu, they felt a variety of emotions including surprise, disbelief, and sudden realization.
Wang Shu is just a young director in his early twenties who first came to Hollywood from China.
Even if you are talented, you will be suppressed no matter what in Hollywood.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, Wang Shu is the least likely to win the award among the nominated directors.
Now, what is in front of him is Wang Shu winning the prize.
So, many people feel incredible.
There are also people who are suddenly enlightened.
Under normal circumstances, it is indeed not Wang Shu’s turn to win the prize.
But since Wang Shu was nominated for the Best Director Award for "The Wolf of Wall Street", this is not normal.
At this time, Wang Shu stood up and walked to the stage amidst warm applause, and received his first Golden Globe Award for Best Director from the presenters.
Although I have won the Best Screenplay Award before, as a director, the Best Director Award is the highest honor award for a director.
Wang Shu walked to the center of the stage with the trophy and began to deliver his acceptance speech.
“Thank you, Hollywood Foreign Press Association.”
The Hollywood Foreign Press Association is the organizer of the Golden Globe Awards, and this is how the winners usually start at the Academy Awards ceremony. Thanks to the American Film Institute.
It is precisely because the American Film Institute is the organizer of the Oscars.
"This award belongs to the entire "Wolf of Wall Street" team, all cast and crew, all producers. Thank you, thank you very much."
"I want to thank."
< br>"I want to thank."
"Movie."
"That's why I fell in love with making movies and telling stories, because it gave us a chance to laugh together and cry together. It gave us a chance to learn from each other and have more empathy for each other."
" So, thank you all, thank you all for making it possible for me to do what I love. Thank you very much.”
The Best Director Award is a grand prize, even if the acceptance speech exceeds the allotted time, it is generally not allowed. Will urge.
But even so, Wang Shu did not say too much, but thanked him in various ways, said a few false words, and walked off the stage gracefully.
