Chapter 450 Director Wang
“Wang Shu. won the Golden Globe Award for Best Director.”
Chen Kaige was having lunch at home, Chen Hong lowered his head and took a bite of the food, and said abruptly .
“What?” Chen Kaige didn’t hear clearly.
"I said Wang Shu won the Golden Globe Award for Best Director, and "The Wolf of Wall Street" also won the Golden Globe Award for Best Picture." Chen Hong elaborated without looking at Chen Kaige.
"How is that possible?" Chen Kaige looked unbelieving, "Anyone who is nominated for a director or nominated film can win the award, but Wang Shu is the least likely to win."
"You have never been to Hollywood to develop, so I don’t know.”
“Hollywood is not like the awards we have in China, where awards are given to anyone who is new to the entertainment industry at a young age.”
"Hollywood is different, you have to go through qualifications."
"Especially foreign directors are also boycotted by the United States. Not only do they have to go through qualifications, but it is also more difficult."
"I remember that after I won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival, I was invited to direct a movie in Hollywood. Although I didn't stay there for long, it is well known in Hollywood that they boycott foreign filmmakers."
“Especially those of us Chinese filmmakers who went to Hollywood were not only boycotted, but also looked down upon.”
“Don’t look at Chen Long’s success in Hollywood, that’s because Hollywood was Without the ability to fight in real time, Chen Long relies on this ability to make a living in Hollywood. "
" Nowadays, real-time fighting is gradually becoming available in Hollywood, and Chen Long is not easy to get along with. ”
“Have you not seen that Chen Long has been returning to China to make movies in the past few years? ”
"It's precisely because he can't make it in Hollywood."
"But that's too far-fetched."
"In short, it's impossible for Wang Shu to win the award."
"22 years old, Chinese director, first arrived in Hollywood, these three points are destined to fail to win the award."
Chen Hong listened to Chen Kaige's talk, hesitated to speak, and finally found the opportunity to interject. Said: "But Wang Shuzhen won the Golden Globe Award for Best Director, and "The Wolf of Wall Street" also won the Best Picture Award."
When Chen Kaige heard this, his expression froze, and even his slow eating movements stopped.
Seeing this, Chen Hong added quietly: "There has been news on the Internet."
"It is said that he is the first director from the mainland to win the Golden Globe Award."
"Creation Record."
When Chen Kaige heard these words, his expression turned ugly, and he still didn't want to believe it and asked: "Are you kidding?"
Director Chen Da is arrogant. As a second-generation son from a large courtyard, he looks down on directors like Wang Shu who come from a wild background.
Seeing Wang Shu win a prize, even a prize that he had never received before, was even more uncomfortable than eating Xiang.
Chen Hong looked at him and said softly: "I learned about this from seeing the news. Are you kidding me?"
When Chen Kaige heard this, his heart sank.
Not only did he categorically tell Chen Hong that Wang Shu would not win the award, he also categorically concluded it externally.
Now, Wang Shu has won the Golden Globe Award for Best Director.
For a time, his face turned blue and red.
Seeing this, Chen Hong shook her head and ate her lunch in silence.
Compared to Chen Kaige who looks down on Wang Shu and is certain that Wang Shu will never win the Golden Globe Award, Chen Hong believes that Wang Shu may win the award.
This is because she has contact information with Wang Shu and has talked about related matters.
Wang Shu had long told her that "The Wolf of Wall Street" was special. Under normal circumstances, his probability of winning the prize was indeed zero.
With this movie, the probability is no longer zero.
Chen Hong believed Wang Shu. Based on her understanding of Wang Shu, if this was not true, Wang Shu would definitely not say it openly.
Chen Kaige was silent for a while, and then hummed: "If you win the Golden Globe, you just win the Golden Globe. If you look closely, this award is just like that. It is not a high-end award."
< br>“In comparison, the Oscar is the most powerful award in Hollywood.”
"Wang Shu won the Golden Globe Award, which is nothing. It would be great if he could win the Academy Award."
The Golden Globe Award for Film is of course the only film award in the United States after the Academy Award. , however, this award is not at all equal to the Academy Awards.
The Golden Globe Awards. It’s just a film award in the United States.
Although Oscar is only a film award in the United States, it is famous all over the world.
The Golden Globe Awards for American TV and Movies are far less valuable than the Academy Awards.
Of course, this is viewed on the international stage.
But if it is placed in Hollywood, the Golden Globe Awards are extremely valuable awards.
After all, there are only a few pitfalls for the Oscars every year, and not everyone can win.
Under this circumstance, the gold content of the Golden Globe Awards must be highlighted.
What Chen Kaige said was simply because he didn't get it himself and said sour words.
After hearing this, Chen Hong answered abruptly: "I heard that the Golden Globe Awards are the benchmark for the Academy Awards. Directors and films that can win the Golden Globe Awards for Best Director and Best Picture will win at the subsequent Academy Awards. There is a 50% chance of winning the prize.”
When Chen Kaige heard this, his movements froze.
As a director who has been in Hollywood, he certainly knows that the Golden Globe Awards are indeed the weathervane of the Academy Awards.
The award ceremonies of these two awards are only a month apart. In previous years, films that have won at the Golden Globe Awards can also win at the Academy Awards.
There is even a high probability of winning the grand prize.
Chen Kaige was silent for a moment, then snorted: "It's just a probability."
"Furthermore, the Golden Globe Awards and the Academy Awards are different after all."
"The Golden Globe Awards Being able to award the Grand Prize to Wang Shu does not mean that the Academy Award can also be awarded to Wang Shu."
"I'm sure that Wang Shu will win the Golden Globe Award this time."
“He can’t even dream of winning an Academy Award.”
He wanted to make it clear that the Academy Awards were more about political correctness, qualifications, etc., and it was absolutely impossible for Wang Shu to win the award.
But to put it this way, it would seem that Wang Shu was not lacking in strength, but that he was unable to win the award due to other factors. Instead, he was bragging about Wang Shu.
Worrying about this, I swallowed back the words that came to my lips.
"Not necessarily." Chen Hong ate the food and said quietly: "I think that since Wang Shu can win the Golden Globe Award, he may win the Academy Award."
< br>“Because. He can win the Golden Globe Award, which is a trend.”
"This trend shows that he has broken the unspoken rules of Hollywood."
When Chen Kaige heard this, he was in a daze. Although he didn't want to admit it, Chen Hong's analysis did make sense.
Since Wang Shu can win the Golden Globe, he must have broken the unspoken rules of Hollywood.
He thought for a while and couldn't help but ask: "What is "The Wolf of Wall Street" about?"
"The Wolf of Wall Street" is only released in the United States, and currently it is only It had been released for a few days, and singer Chen Kaiwen was in China again. In addition, he had not inquired about it before, so he did not know the content of the movie.
Chen Hong shook his head and said: "I don't know either."
"But since I can win the award, there must be something special."
In fact, since "The Wolf of Wall Street" was released in North America She inquired immediately. Although she had not seen the movie, she had a general understanding of its content. Now that I saw the news about Wang Shu winning the award, I understood what was going on.
Just need to pretend not to know.
Because if she didn't even know these things, then Chen Kaige would definitely be confused.
Chen Kaige nodded when he heard this and said no more.
The atmosphere at lunch suddenly became colder.
"Xiaogang, Wang Shu won the Golden Globe Award"
It was also lunch time. Mr. Wang and Feng Xiaogang of Huayi, as well as well-established people in the industry, were in a high-end hotel. Eat together in the private room.
"If You Are the One" has achieved good box office results since its release. Both Feng Xiaogang and Mr. Wang are very high-spirited. In addition, as the new year is approaching, there will be more dinner parties.
When Feng Xiaogang heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then said in a low voice: "Just take it, what does it have to do with us?"
Behind a few people, there were still people standing. Waitress wearing cheongsam and black stockings.
These waiters are all in good shape and appearance. They stand behind everyone, selecting wine for them.
Of course, some people are unavoidable
For example, one of them was being pulled by Mr. Wang to sit on his lap. Although the waitress had resistance and reluctance on her face, she did not dare to disobey.
Disobedience is easy, just slam the door and leave.
But in this case, the job will be lost.
The wages of waiters in high-end restaurants are not low, and they do not want to lose their jobs.
As for responding to the hotel.
It's of no use.
Mr. Xiao Wang and his brother looked at each other, looked at Feng Xiaogang, and said with a smile: "Yes, it's none of our business?"
"Wang Shu will get the prize if he gets it, and he will He is not our Huayi director. No matter how many awards he wins, he is not from the same group as us.” I was in a bad mood and immediately stopped talking about this topic.
"Director Feng, let me select wine for you." The young and beautiful waiter standing behind Feng Xiaogang said softly while pouring wine for Feng Xiaogang.
Feng Xiaogang saw the black stockings on the little sister's legs, smelled the perfume on the other person's body, looked up at the other person, and suddenly pulled her into his arms at the little sister's exclamation.
Then raise and lower his hands.
Then, in front of everyone, he pressed the little sister on the chair and started exercising.
The people around him were not surprised by this. They just took a few glances and continued to drink, eat and chat.
"Danchen, did you know? Director Wang won an award, the American TV and Movie Golden Globe Award for Best Director, and his film also won the Best Screenplay Award." Zeng Li called Yan Danchen.
The two had collaborated before, and Zeng Li kept in touch with Yan Danchen because of his connections with Wang Shu.
“Huh?” Yan Danchen exclaimed when he heard this.
"Director Wang won the Golden Globe Award for Best Director? No way?"
Zeng Li heard Yan Danchen's surprised voice and smiled: "It's already been in the news, so why not?" Is it fake? ”
When Yan Danchen heard this, she also smiled and said: "Director Wang is really amazing. He won the Golden Globe Award when he first arrived in Hollywood."
Although she was smiling, her face was bitter.
Today, the gap between Wang Shu and her is getting wider and wider.
I once buried my feelings deep in my heart, but now I don’t even have the courage to speak out.
Not to mention, two or three years have passed and things have changed.
"It's really amazing." Zeng Li also marveled, "We are the first director from mainland China to win the Golden Globe Award, and he is also the youngest director to win the Golden Globe Award."
"I heard that there is a high probability of winning the Golden Globe Award. He can also win an Academy Award."
"Director Wang is likely to become our first mainland director to win an Academy Award."
When Yan Danchen heard this, he couldn't help but say, " An Academy Award-winning director, he is really amazing."
"What? Do you regret it?" Zeng Li couldn't help but tease after hearing this.
"Regret? What do you regret?" Yan Danchen panicked and asked quickly.
“Haha.” Zeng Li smiled, “I don’t know you yet?”
“I’ve known you for so long, can’t I see that you have feelings for Director Wang?”< br>
"Ah? What are you talking about? Why do you have feelings for Wang Shu? Are you thinking too much?" Yan Danchen hurriedly denied Sanlian.
"Okay, okay." Zeng Li responded, "No need to explain, I'm not a fool, can't I still see this kind of thing?"
"When I was having dinner with you, every time I mentioned Director Wang, you felt a little emotional."
"Then I asked Huanhuan to confirm that you like Director Wang."
>"It's just that when you were filming "Nine-Tailed Fox" with Director Wang, you didn't take the initiative, right?"
"No, don't talk nonsense." Yan Danchen denied, then pursed his lips and said, " Director Wang is a big director, he has contacts with many big stars, and many people like him.”
“I’m just a young actor, don’t make such a joke, it won’t be good if it spreads.”
Yan Danchen has indeed become popular since "My Girlfriend is a Nine-Tailed Fox", and has also had more filming appointments.
But no matter where in the entertainment industry, an actor's resources are determined by the financial backers.
Rather than taking it seriously that if you have good acting skills and are beautiful, you will have resources.
Yan Danchen became popular for a while, but due to lack of support, he returned to a tepid state.
Hearing this, Zeng Li fell silent.
She understood what Yan Danchen meant. This meant that the gap between their status was too big, and Wang Shu had many choices. She was not outstanding and had no advantage.
Having this thought is like a toad wanting to eat swan meat.
You need to be self-aware so as not to embarrass both parties so much that they cannot even become friends.
Thinking of this, Zeng Li couldn't help but said: "If you had boldly confided your feelings to Director Wang back then, you wouldn't have had as many scruples as you do now."
"And, Director Wang doesn’t have a girlfriend, so you just have to take the initiative and chase the man 100% of the time.”
"And with Director Wang's support, you might be an international star now"
When Yan Danchen listened to Zeng Li's words, he couldn't help but angrily interrupted: "Have you said it all? Why are you still mentioning that?”
“Is it because you like Director Wang that you keep talking about it?”
Zeng Li is not really in love with Wang. Tree, but a young, capable and talented director. Which actress doesn’t like him?
If actors want to go higher and further in the industry, they rely on support.
And Wang Shu has the corresponding energy.
Zeng Li sighed and said: "It's useless even if I like it, Director Wang doesn't like me."
"Oh, if I can become Director Wang's girlfriend, my career will be better Not to mention surpassing Gong Li, surpassing Sidan Shuangbing is still possible.”
