Chapter 387 Movie Queen
"Chen, I went back and watched your "Sunset" last time, and also watched the earlier "Breaking Drummer". I have to say, it is very good. I think you deserve an Oscar for Best Director."
His expression was sincere.
"Thank you, it's great that you like it."
Chen Linfeng doesn't care whether the other person is sincere or acting, he always doesn't care about other people's praise.
A few people were standing and chatting, but there were too many people around and the environment was not very good, so they slowly walked into the venue, chatting as they walked.
"What do you think of me, I mean, as an actor?" Leonardo asked suddenly.
"It's not bad. The style of the performance is quite passionate and often delicate. Generally speaking, it has reached the first-class level. It's just that in a few cases, it uses too much force and lacks a sense of layering."
Chen Linfeng evaluated from the director's perspective and did not deliberately praise. With his current status, there is no need to please.
Leonardo listened attentively. The evaluation given by the other party was a bit harsh to him, but this was the evaluation given by the great director.
In fact, Martin Scorsese also said similar things to him, but acting is like this. Even if you know your own problems, it is difficult to correct them.
Especially when you reach a very high level of performance, it is extremely difficult to improve.
A typical example is Chen Daoming. He must be aware of the problem of fixed performance style, but he just can't change it.
“A very fair evaluation.”
Leonardo said bitterly, "Martin said the same thing. Maybe it's because my performance is still flawed, so I haven't been able to win the statuette."
Chen Linfeng shook his head, "Your level must exceed that threshold. Performance is indeed a small factor, but that's not the key."
As for the reason, he didn't say much. So many analysis reports around the world have already made it clear.
Leonardo himself knew it.
"I wonder if I have a chance to cooperate with you once?" He looked at the other party with bright eyes.
Chen is so eye-catching in terms of awards, he is like the chosen one, no matter how much he shoots, he will win.
He only made two literary and artistic films, and they won the Golden Lion and the Golden Palm respectively.
Although he is not very optimistic about the Oscar this time, this is not the reason for the work.
From his perspective, "Sunset" is undoubtedly far superior to "The Hurt Locker". If it loses, it can only be due to off-site factors.
At this time, the two people had entered the venue.
The Golden Globe Awards ceremony was a dinner party, with everyone sitting together.
Originally, Leonardo's position was not at the same table as Chen Linfeng's, but he was too proud to talk to others and switched positions.
Others saw Leonardo sitting and chatting with the recently popular Chen in the central area, and they all guessed what they were talking about.
Are you talking about cooperation?
The media in the venue focused their cameras on the two people from time to time.
The two continued to talk about the previous topic.
"Of course there is no problem with cooperation, but I don't have very good ideas about award-winning works recently. Instead, I am very interested in commercial films. I wonder if you have read my short story "Inception"?"
< br>
When Leonardo heard the first half of the sentence, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
But after he finished listening, he suddenly felt that the name the other party mentioned sounded familiar.
"Is this the script that Director Nolan has always wanted to strive for?"
This matter is quite famous in the circle.
Every year at the Oscars or other events, whenever he meets Chen, Christopher Nolan will definitely mention buying the script.
And every time, Chen would refuse.
Over time, everyone became interested in this story.
Some people even came to see it and praised it full of praise.
Over time, the news gradually spread.
Although Leonardo has not read the original novel, he has heard the name.
"Yes, that's it. I think it's time to start this project. It is currently scheduled to start at the end of this year or early next year. I wonder if you are interested."
In its previous life, "Inception" was originally a movie that was supposed to be released next year.
But Chen Linfeng stocked up on the script early. Because of his reputation, no one would want to change the skin of the film.
After all, Hollywood has countless books, so there’s no need to stick to that one one.
In fact, Nolan himself has given up a bit in the past two years and turned his head to think about other stories.
What's more tragic is that Chen Linfeng also copied "Interstellar" in advance, and he caught Nolan alone, and he was lucky not to be bald.
Nolan is still thinking about new stories.
Although he also accepted to make a movie during this period, it was obviously not as good as the "Inception" that he was supposed to make.
The battle between fate is so terrifying.
Talking about "Inception", this movie was not a 3D movie in its previous life. It was just before the 3D trend, which is really a pity.
In fact, judging from the scenes and images of the original film, it is a movie that is very suitable for 3D effects.
Therefore, Chen Linfeng was stuck for a while.
Of course, part of the reason is because his development in Hollywood has not reached that level before.
It would be more appropriate to start this year or next year.
Leonardo thought carefully and did not give a definite answer.
"Sorry, Chen, I have to see the specific story or script before I can decide. Please allow me to give my answer later."
"This is what it should be. I will be in Hollywood until the Oscar results come out. Just give me a confirmation during this period."
Leonardo nodded solemnly.
Although it is not an art film, cooperation with commercial films is not impossible.
Although he really hopes to get the statuette, he always knows where his fundamentals lie.
There has been no relaxation in business either.
Continuing to reply until around March is exactly what Leonardo wanted.
I heard that "Taken" that Chen filmed last year is about to be released. He wants to wait until the movie is released and then consider it based on the quality of the story itself.
At this time, the formal process of the award ceremony had begun on the stage.
The two looked at the front desk.
..."The awards ceremony began. The celebrities were very reserved and the food on the table was basically untouched."
"Chen Linfeng had a great chat with superstar Leonardo."
"Liu Qianqian lowered her head and picked her fingers out of boredom."
On the Internet, many portals are conducting live text broadcasts, and from time to time, live pictures can be displayed.
“I don’t know if it was taken live or taken from a live TV broadcast.”
Because of the winter vacation, Li Qingqing huddled in her bed and stared at her mobile phone.
The Golden Globe Awards are held from evening to night in beautiful countries, but here in China it is held from early morning to morning.
Li Qingqing rarely woke up early, but because it was too cold outside, she didn't want to get up and use the computer to read. Fortunately, it is now convenient to surf the Internet on mobile phones, and she feels better in bed.
She almost fell asleep several times just now, but fortunately, the news about Chen Linfeng and Liu Qianqian appeared several times in between.
Now the awards have finally begun.
"In the previous interview, Director Chen said that he hoped to win an actor award for teachers You and Lu, which is indeed not a lie.
The two teachers are currently gaining momentum during the awards season, and there is news of "Sunset" winning in many Sentinel Awards.
But in fact, Directors Chen and Zhang have a lot of chances of winning the Director Award. According to some media predictions:
Among the current favorites for the Oscar for Best Director, Kathryn Bigelow of "The Hurt Locker" is followed by directors Chen and Zhang, and James Cameron is still behind them. ”
Li Qingqing likes Xiao Xu who posts text live broadcasts very much. He can always not only publish the live situation, but also bring some of his own personal analysis and some reports obtained in the beautiful country.
Of course, what I like even more is that he is also a Chen Chui, and he is full of support for "Sunset".
Some of the comments below scolded him, saying that Xiao Xu's butt was too crooked, always sitting on his own side, and not having an objective attitude.
Li Qingqing was speechless. She must have tilted her butt towards outsiders.
A new text report appeared.
"The first award is out, it's for Best Supporting Actor in TV..."
It was irrelevant content again, Li Qingqing looked at it boredly.
"Nice! The new award is Best Actor in a Mini-Series. Chen Linfeng won this award for his role as Sherlock in "Sherlock"."
"He came up to receive the award. Well, in his speech, he thanked the book fans for their support, and also specifically mentioned the domestic audience's long-term support for him."
"yes! yes!"
Li Qingqing clenched her fists and called in a low voice. She was afraid that the voice would be too loud and her parents would hear her, which would be bad if she was pulled out of bed.
The live broadcast continued, and the best mini-series was also awarded to "Sherlock".
Li Qingqing was no longer sleepy at all, and she began to look forward to the moment when the follow-up "Sunset" would win the award.
In the television category, after miniseries, there are awards for musical and drama television.
This has nothing to do with domestic audiences.
Xiao Xu was smart enough to only report on the winning works during this period, and spent the rest of the time talking about the significance of "Sherlock" winning the award.
Fortunately, the work won awards. Chen Linfeng won the Golden Globe Award for TV Actor.
It is also the first time in China. No matter what, as long as you are ranked first, it will be of great significance.
Chinese people like this the most and want to be first in everything.
Time gradually transitions to film awards.
"Martin Scorsese received the Lifetime Achievement Award. Leonardo got up and hugged his mentor. Director Martin has collaborated with Leonardo DiCaprio many times and pushed him to the Oscar stage. Unfortunately, DiCaprio has not yet won a statuette. .”
"Here we go, "Sunset" won the first award tonight, Best Screenplay. Director Chen won the Best Screenplay, beautiful!"
Li Qingqing's eyes widened, feeling that this morning was extremely wonderful.
"Unfortunately, the Best Foreign Language Film went to "The White Ribbon". When this work was in Cannes, it was Director Chen and his biggest competitor.
During this awards season, it has beaten "Sunset" several times to win the Best Foreign Language Film Award. It seems that foreigners feel that this work still has merits and can compete with "Sunset" . ”
The saving grace of this bullshit, Li Qingqing instantly felt unattractive.
"It's time for Best Actor in a Drama Series. Teacher You, Teacher You, do you have any hope of winning one?"
"Ah, what a pity, it was Jeff Bridges who won the Best Actor for "Crazy Heart"."
No way, Xiao Xu, why have you turned into a crow’s mouth? Quickly find someone to do the live broadcast for me.
Li Qingqing put her phone on the bed and couldn't bear to look at it anymore.
However, she had nothing to do in bed, so she still swallowed her anger and continued reading.
"Best Actress in a Drama Series, is it Teacher Lu? Oh, Teacher Lu won it. Congratulations to Teacher Lu, congratulations to "Sunset", congratulations to Director Chen, and congratulations to Director Zhang."
"A new Golden Globe Best Actress was born. This is the first Chinese Best Actress, another historic breakthrough."
"NICE!"
Xiao Xu, you are not so useless.
Li Qingqing was so excited that she could only applaud.
The atmosphere at the scene was still very warm.
Everyone applauded and welcomed the actress from China.
Chen Linfeng also clapped his hands happily.
But actually he felt bad inside.
With a heavyweight grand prize coming, it will probably be difficult later.
Sure enough, the next round of best director did not go to "Sunset", but to James Cameron.
It’s not surprising that the Golden Globe Awards are indeed on the road to focusing on business.
"Avatar" is now so high at the box office that no one can ignore it.
However, when the name "Avatar" came out of the mouth of the person who presented the award for Best Movie, everyone in the audience was still a little surprised.
The previous hits "The Hurt Locker" and "Sunset" turned out to be foils.
Tomorrow I will speed up the pace and write directly to the Oscar plot
