Chapter 72: "The Hacker" resumes work
Chen Tian may have forgotten it, but the media, movie fans and movie people will not forget it, that is, the 56th Golden Globe Awards will be announced.
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 award every year, it has always been regarded as the weather vane of the Academy Awards. This year's Golden Globe Awards and the upcoming 71st Academy Awards are already filled with smoke, and this year is not a good year to win awards.
Not to mention "Save Soldier Ryan", "Shapes' Love History" is simply a killer weapon. It is the most suitable for Oscars in terms of content and theme. It has a reputation all the way, and it is the hottest in the eyes of the media. "The Sixth Sense" is also good, but unfortunately, Chen Tiandu's qualifications are too shallow, and the theme is a horror movie, so it is not favored by others, including himself.
In fact, he forgot that time did not care at all. In his mind, the greatest affirmation and praise came from the audience. They liked that movie and cried for it and went crazy for it. This was his greatest pursuit and enjoyment. This was reflected in the film's seldom promotion and won the box office, all thanks to the word-of-mouth evaluation of the movie fans; the second place was the Academy Award, which was an honor pursued by all filmmakers.
Although the Golden Globe Award is the third largest film and television award in the United States, Chen Tian didn't respect it very much.
The reason is that there are only more than 90 foreign journalists at the Golden Globe Awards, which is too fewer than the more than 6,000 Oscars, which means that the impact of personal preferences will be magnified, and the possibility of undercover operations is also higher.
It’s not about buying awards and nominations directly, but about "cancelling votes". Film companies will give judges some small favors, such as inviting to dinner parties and giving champagne bouquets. This is also what PR needs to do. Some peripheral decorations of the movie are given away. It is not about getting special care, but about relatively fair treatment.
The little favor is almost limited to this. The most powerful supervision is not the law, but the journalists and the paparazzi. Who gave whom the benefits was obvious at a glance. In 1981, Piya Zadoya's husband paid for the judges to visit Las Vegas. This kind of historical event is still the main criticism of the Golden Globes.
But this is the third largest film and television award in the United States after all. Naturally, the institutions and judges will not go too far, contrary to the media and the public. Otherwise, it will not have any authority and importance, nor will it attract much attention and be hailed as the weather vane of the Oscars. To maintain this affirmation, the Golden Globe Awards also need to affirm good movies.
I was not looking forward to it at first, but Chen Tian was also looking forward to it by Kate's fuss.
Even if it cannot be compared with the Oscars, it is a breakthrough of zero. Not to mention China, but in the whole of Asia, how many people have won the Golden Globe Award?
"Hope." Unconsciously, Kate leaned tighter.
Since HFPA signed a new broadcast agreement with NBC in 1996, the Golden Globe Awards have settled on NBC TV. With the guidance of the host, the scenes on TV have been played out. There are 15 movie awards in the Golden Globe Awards, namely Best Drama, Best Director, Best Screenwriter, Best Drama Actor, Actress, Best Music/Comedy, Best Actor, and Best Supporting Actress in Music/Comedy category; Best Screenplay, Best Soundtrack, Best Song, Best Foreign Language Film, Best Animation, and Jack Nicholson's Lifetime Achievement Award.
The Best Picture, Best Actor, and Best Actress have passed one by one, and the chances have become fewer and fewer. When the Best Supporting Actor came, the name of "The Sixth Sense" finally appeared. When the excerpt of Hailey-Joe-Osmond appeared on the screen, the two finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Yes." Hearing Hailey's name, Kate immediately cheered happily, "A nomination is available, should we call Hailey to congratulate him?" She looked up at Chen Tiandu.
Chen Tian smiled, "Don't be anxious, let's talk about it after all." Haili's performance was indeed impeccable, especially as a child, the sorrow that was so profound that it was almost engraved into the bones was not so easy to express.
Kaite nodded and continued to watch TV. When the nomination for the greatest possible Best Screenwriter Award was announced, he almost held his breath in the room, staring at the TV screen with his eyes slightly wide open. The media newspaper's predictions and comments, the scripts of "The Sixth Sense" and "Save Private Ryan" were praised as "rare", the former "smart structure", "exquisite lines", "with warmth in horror", etc., and the latter is a classic war film, not to mention. Both popular scripts that won the award were written by Chen Tiandu, and the probability of winning was very high.
"…The list of best screenwriters in the film category is: Marc-Norman, Tom Stoppard's "Shapepeech Love History", Chrismas-Chan's "Save the Soldier Ryan", Todd Sorenz's "Are you happy", Andrlo Nickel's "Trump World", Chrismas-Chan's "The Sixth Sense"!"
"That's great, two, no, three, congratulations."
Chen Tian didn't say anything, but just kissed her lips and said with a sigh: "Don't look at the rest anymore, that's all. There are too many variables in the Golden Globe Awards, and even Spielberg dared not say that he won the award. Your performance should be nominated for a Best Supporting Actress. But it doesn't matter, our main public relations direction is Oscars, and there should be still a chance. Call Hailey, he probably has a sleep."
Kate picked up the phone and was about to call. Chen Tiandu's cell phone ring suddenly rang. He took it over and saw that it was a text message from Charlize: "Director, congratulations on your nomination for the Golden Globes. Where are you now? Are you going to come out to celebrate? Be with Kate?"
Chen Tian subconsciously glanced at Kate, deleted the text message with guilt, and pressed the phone key to reply to her, "Thank you, we just finished it." The phone he used for communication had long been replaced by an ordinary phone. After all, it was not very appropriate to hold a magical phone at all times. It didn't need to charge. It was so many functions that were too alternative. Even Chen Tian was not worried about being curiously asked, but if someone stole it, he would cry to death.
"Wow, you are so enthusiastic~~" Charlize replied to another text message after a while, "Is there any fancy style or physical position? I heard that Orientals are very disciplined and turn off the lights when they go to bed. How does her feel?"
This was a bit too enthusiastic, and Chen Tian still replied, "You underestimate Oriental people too much. There is a type called "Wenbin looks crazy and even more scary." Obviously, it means I don't need to turn off the lights. Unfortunately, I don't have to use a video recorder, otherwise I can watch it again after recording it myself. As for the body | position... all kinds of postures, but she likes it very much, and I also prefer to be passive."
"Haha, I really didn't expect you to have this kind of hobby. When you do it, you also want to take selfies. Are the men who control the cameras born to like this?"
"Well, life is life, work is work, I have always been very separate. But if work is too stressful, life still needs more stimulation."
"Then I'll give you a high-definition video recorder next time."
This is a naughty choice, but who doesn't like it? Seeing that Kate had hung up the phone, he didn't dare to talk too much and quickly ended, "Thank you, I have to rest. See you in the crew after the New Year." He put down the phone and asked Kate, "How is it?"
"Halley is already asleep. His mother answered the phone and is about to surprise him tomorrow. In fact, they want you to call." Kate said with her hugging him again. As soon as she said, the phone rang again. She said, "It's your congratulations, answer the phone quickly."
"The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. I have a good mentality." Chen Tiandu turned over lazily, grabbed the phone, and saw that it was Spielberg's phone number, and quickly made a gesture to Kate to silence, "It's Director Spielberg."
“Quickly pick up.”
...
Kong Yiji and Fan Guangtou read the newspaper the next day and found out that Chen Tian had both received nominations for two scripts, and they were clamoring to ask him to treat him. The newspaper media also discussed the nominations announced last night at the first time, and everyone had something to be satisfied and dissatisfied.
The Los Angeles Times was very puzzled by the fact that "The Sixth Sense" had only two shortlisted items. It reported a lot on the title "The Golden Globe Awards neglected "The Sixth Sense"" and questioned the judges' unfairness, "This is a serious mistake." After all, the audience's praise and the box office across the United States are indisputable hard data.
Chen Tian was nominated twice for the award for Best Screenwriter, which is not a good thing for him. This will diversify the votes and lead to the possibility of losing both in the end. Unfortunately, both scripts are unique and exquisite works.
Some people also analyzed that Chen Tian is both Chinese, which poses an obstacle to his winning of the award. If there are so few nominations due to this factor, the Laiwu Foreign Journalists Association really needs to reflect on it.
Of course, the most popular ones are still "Shapes' Love History" and "Save the Soldier Ryan".
Domestic media have paid more attention to Chen Tiandu’s first Golden Globe nomination. Not only in the mainland, but also Hong Kong, Taiwan and even Southeast Asia are paying attention, most of whom are watching the show. CCTV also contacted Kong Yiji, hoping to interview Chen Tiandu and ask him about his thoughts on the Golden Globe nomination, but he declined.
Because I am really unsure, "What are you looking forward to in one-day tour of the Golden Globes?"
Many friends called him to congratulate him, but he no longer paid attention and spent nearly 6 hours practicing kung fu every day.
During the New Year's Eve in 1999, Chen Tiandu and Kate went to Times Square in New York to enjoy a grand concert.
