Chapter 230 230 Ceremony Spectators

It was the first time to participate in such a star-studded award ceremony. Although Hugo was very calm on the surface, he still sighed in his heart: the ceremony originally watched on the TV screen was so colorful behind the scenes, and elites from all walks of life gathered. Together, there are not only the actors with the highest exposure on the screen, but also the producers and directors who control the life and death of a movie.

What attracts Hugo's attention more are those behind-the-scenes workers, screenwriters, photographers, editors, soundtrack engineers, lighting engineers, costumers, special effects artists... These people are all behind-the-scenes heroes of the film and television industry. When watching movies and TV, I rarely pay special attention to these details, but these countless details are piled up on the actors, and then the video art is presented with the screen as a medium. Even if someone pays attention to these details, they don't know who contributed to the creation of each detail, which has to be said to be a huge regret.

As a viewer, Hugo has not paid enough attention to the behind-the-scenes workers even though he has watched hundreds of movies in more than ten years. He knows the importance of these links, as if there is no special effects Like classic masterpieces like "The Lord of the Rings", "Star Wars" and "Avatar", Hugo has always had the concept of "one movie equals one team" in his mind, but unfortunately, he lacks enough effective channels To understand the behind-the-scenes information, this is also the limitation of the audience.

However, during the cooperation of the past two films, Hugo gradually gained a deeper understanding of the behind-the-scenes workers. "Women" he realized for the first time the tip of the iceberg of screenplay adaptation, although not really, it was a whole new world.

And today, Hugo had the opportunity to see these miracle makers standing behind the scenes. It was like seeing a group of otaku men finally come out of the imprisoned small box, which made Hugo feel fresh.

When the awards ceremony kicked off, Hugo kept an eye on the trend of the ceremony like a curious baby, as if he was not a participant, but a spectator who joined the award ceremony in the second half of the auditorium. But what makes Hugo quite embarrassing is that in the TV drama department of the Golden Globe Awards, because he has not watched most of the American TV dramas in the early 1990s, except for "Growing Pains", "Leaping in Beverly 90210" and other limited series Outside of the American TV series, he hardly knew any TV stars, which made Hugo quite regretful.

"Oh, I know him, Will. Smith!" Hugo finally revealed a look of joy when he finally found a familiar face in the TV department.

Hearing Hugo's low voice, Uma couldn't help laughing and teasing, "I didn't know you liked this type of comedy."

Will Smith, the "Historical Emperor" who will be popular all over the world in the future, has been on the big Hollywood screen for more than ten years because of his strong box office appeal. In China, fans have been given the nickname "Shi Huang". In the United States, he and Denzel Washington are the two most beloved black actors in the United States, and their status is aloof.

Before Will hit the big screen, though, his acting career began on the small screen, with the beloved comedy "The. Fresh. Prince. Of. Bel-Air" starting in 1990 , which was broadcast for six years, not only won Will the nickname "Fresh Prince", but also laid the foundation for him to become popular with the whole people.

What Hugo just saw on the big screen was Will's competition for Best Actor in a Musical Comedy Series. In the face of Uma's ridicule, Hugo shrugged innocently and said, "Relaxing dramas are always liked." Although he had never watched the drama "The Fresh Prince", but It didn't prevent Hugo from being in a happy mood after seeing the familiar face.

It's a pity that in the end Will lost to his competitor, John Goodman from "Roseanne". This is also a classic supporting role. He has appeared in Coen Brothers many times. In his works, Hugo can't name his representative works, but vaguely remembers that he can be seen in many classic works.

Then Hugo saw one of his favorite series, "Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS)" which was broadcast in 2003, the actor Mark - Harmon (Mark. Harmon) appeared in the ranks of nominees, winning the plot for Mark The nomination for the best actor in a series is a series called "Reasonable. Doubts", which made Hugo deeply feel the traces left by the generation gap of the times on himself.

In the field of movies, many old movies are still remembered by people again and again, but TV dramas are full of the imprints of the times, such as "Growing Pains". This series retains the memories of the post-80s generation in China. The post-90s or post-00s may not know this series at all; for example, "Friends", the main audience is still the post-80s, which may include part of the post-90s, but after entering the 21st century, it is estimated that the young People have no resonance at all. In their minds, "The. Big. Bang. Theory" is much closer to life.

The generation gap that Hugo had not felt in the past year is finally felt today: this is the early 1990s, a time when he was still playing in the mud and pretending to be Superman.

This side of Hugo watched the award ceremony and sighed constantly, and the award ceremony of the other side gradually entered the second half. When it was the turn of the best supporting actor award, Uma involuntarily held Hugo's left hand, but Uma However, she found that her hands were sweating, but Hugo didn't react at all, very calm. This made Uma turn to look at Hugo.

Hugo felt the nervousness from Uma and couldn't help looking at her. Uma opened her lips and mouthed, "Good luck!" Only then did Hugo react: he is also one of the candidates for this award. Sure enough, then his name came out from the sound, "'Scent to know a woman', Hugo Lancaster..." and then "'Righteous sea hero', Jack Nicholson", every time After the name appeared, there would be low applause from the scene.

Originally, Hugo had been enjoying the awards ceremony, but at this moment, the tension came again along with the tense atmosphere of the scene. This made Hugo's heartbeat continue to amplify in his ears, and his throat began to become dry. stand up.

In fact, Hugo's ability to win double nominations this year is the biggest affirmation in itself, but when it comes to winning awards, Hugo's chances of winning are not too big.

On the one hand, it is naturally the negative impact of the Golden Raspberry Award. Few people are willing to vote for the award for the winner of the worst actor in the Golden Raspberry Award last year. It is not discrimination, but a kind of subconscious rejection. People always think about it. : You performed so badly last year, and winning the nomination this year is a big victory. As for winning the award, did you really perform so well? Not so. Therefore, this invisible inner subconscious will make the negative effect of the Golden Raspberry Award play its residual value.

On the other hand, it is the strength of the competitors. The competition for the best supporting actor and the best actor in the drama category is extremely fierce. In terms of strength and performance, Hugo is not the most optimistic one.

In the Best Supporting Actor category, Gene Hackman of "Unforgiven" and Jack Nicholson of "The Righteous Sea" lead the way, as is David of "Mr. Saturday Night" who also won the nomination for the first time. Peimer and Hugo are both characters who accompany the prince to study. Another "gold worshiper" Al Pacino is waiting for the opportunity, but the main combat power is not in the supporting role. So it is generally believed that this should be a fight between Gene and Jack.

In the Best Actor in a Drama category, Al Pacino of "Scent and Knowing a Woman" led the way, followed by Denzel Washington, who won the Best Actor at the Berlin Film Festival with "Malcolm Aix". Chaplin's Robert Downey Jr. and Hugo are both nominated for the first time, and the escort roles are destined early in the morning. In the end, Jack Nicholson of "Hoffa" has a chance to upset.

And the vote-sharing crisis brought about by the double nominations has been brought into full play in Hugo, who is only 25 years old. Hollywood believes in genius, but not genius, and this is even more extreme for male actors. In 1987, the Oscars were willing to award the golden statuette to the twenty-one-year-old Mary-Matlin (Marlee. Matlin), and before the Oscars in 2014, there were as many as two-digit thirty Women under the age of 29 rank among the best actress titles, while the same statistic is one for men. Only Adrien. Brody became the "younger" in Oscar history in 2003 at the age of twenty-nine. The only actor under the age of 30.

For the 25-year-old Hugo, it is already a huge affirmation to be nominated for the Golden Globe Award, not to mention that the two works that Hugo was shortlisted for are not strong enough. "Yi Hai Xiong Feng" and Jack are divided, but they lack a fatal blow, so it is really difficult for people to put all their votes together.

Under such circumstances, Hugo did not expect that he would win the award from the beginning, but when things came to an end, the tension at the scene made Hugo's deep sense of anticipation still rise. After all, as long as he wins the nomination, he hopes to win the award. Award, this is the iron law, as one of the candidates, even if I know that there is little hope, it is natural to have hope. This made Hugo's dry palms start to get wet.

It is a pity that there was no accident in the result. Gene won the second Golden Globe trophy in his life with the outstanding performance of "Unforgivable" - the last time he relied on "The French Drug Network" in 1972 (The. French .Connection)" won the Golden Globe and Oscar titles.

Hugo regretfully passed his first Golden Globe Award trophy, and the Best Actor Award in the Drama category that was subsequently awarded also followed the historical trajectory in Hugo's memory. After giving a perfect performance, he won the Golden Globe Award without any suspense and set off for his first Oscar winner.

Although all the hopes in his heart were finally dashed and disappointment was inevitable, Hugo soon showed a bright smile and gave Al the warmest applause. After passing by, I won't be too disappointed. Besides, the losses of Hugo's two departments are definitely the result of hard power confrontation, and there is no need to be too sad.

And then, even greater good news swept in. After Clint Eastwood won the Best Director Award for "Unforgivable", "Smell the Scent and Know a Woman" won the best drama film, which is the fifth While the ten Golden Globe Awards came to an end, it also contributed another honor to Hugo's strong rise in 1992.
