Chapter 763 Golden Globe Awards! 5 Nominations and 3 Wins! Leonardo: "I Want to Marry You!"
Annapurna Pictures, Los Angeles.
In the president's office, Megan Ellison, who had short hair and a manly face, looked at the news about "The Revenant" on the Internet with disdain.
What qualifications does a Chinese director have to win awards in Hollywood?
After a moment, she pressed the intercom and said to her assistant: "Let Braun and Lord come over."
Soon, two middle-aged men walked into her office one after another.
Looking at the two "generals" standing in front of her, Megan Ellison asked directly: "How is the matter I arranged for you now?"
Hearing this, Braun took the lead in answering: "I have contacted many Oscar judges and sent them precious gifts according to your instructions. They also promised to vote for "The Theory of Everything" in the final election."
Megan Ellison smiled immediately, and she was very satisfied with this answer.
The reason why she was able to get in touch with Universal Pictures was mainly because of her Oracle father.
As long as she can help "The Theory of Everything" win the award this time, she can reach a deeper cooperation with Universal Pictures.
By then, Annapurna Pictures will surely shine in Hollywood!
But at this moment, Braun added: "President, there is another very troublesome thing. As far as I know, "The Revenant" is also very popular for winning the award. This time against Walt Disney Studios, our chances of winning are not very high."
Megan Ellison's face suddenly sank.
"Heh." She sneered: "The essence of public relations is actually a test of financial strength. Walt Disney Studios does have some strength, but can they invest huge amounts of money in public relations like me?"
She did things in a very fatherly style: "Next, I want you to raise the level of the gifts you send out to a higher level to suppress Walt Disney Studios."
"Yes!" Braun nodded slightly, turned around and left the office.
At this time, Megan Ellison turned to look at Lauder and asked, "Have you found what I asked you to find?"
"President." Lauder responded, "I got the news that Warner Bros. is ready to sell some of its film and television novel copyrights due to years of losses. The relevant auction should be held after the Golden Globe Awards ceremony."
"Good!" Megan's face was full of joy.
She had lobbied hard for a long time before getting some investment shares in the Sino-foreign co-production "The Great Wall" from Universal Pictures.
Next, she plans to prepare a big commercial film project by herself, strive to become a hit, and thus officially enter the field of commercial films.
And buying the copyright of the script is surprisingly the first step towards success!
At any time, mature novels and script copyrights are always faster than creating them from scratch.
She secretly vowed that she must succeed in getting a good project in the next trip to Warner.
Then, she looked at Lauder and said, "You have been in Hollywood for many years, and you are much more experienced than me, and you have enough connections.
Next, you have to help me keep an eye on Walt Disney Studios. If you get news that they are optimistic about a project or script, you must get it before them."
"Okay." Lauder nodded heavily: "Walt Disney Studios' film and television projects have never failed. Their vision is indeed different from ordinary people."
This is almost universally recognized in Hollywood, as can be seen from Walt Disney Studios' overall revenue last year.
An independent production company has far more revenue than the six major Hollywood studios, with big box office sales, big sales of peripheral products, and big sales of copyrights. This is simply amazing!
...
This night, Hollywood was obviously a little restless, and many people were looking forward to the Golden Globe Awards ceremony tomorrow.
And on the other side of the earth, China was also very lively at this moment.
"The fantasy adventure action film "Ghost Blowing the Light: Yunnan Worm Valley" jointly produced by Feiyue Film and Television, China Film, Shanghai Film, and Wanda has obtained the extension key qualification, and the release time will be postponed to 6 pm on February 15."
"The suspense war drama "The Pretender", exclusively produced by Feiyue Film and Television, starring Hu Ge, Jin Dong, Liu Mintao, Wang Kai, Song Yi and others, officially started shooting today at the Chedun Film and Television Base in Shanghai."
"Co-produced by Xinghui, China Film, Guangguang, and Feiyue Film and Television, directed by Zhou Xingchi, starring Deng Chao, Zhao Liying, Zhang Yuqi and others, with high investment The 400 million yuan magical comedy love movie "The Mermaid" was officially announced to be completed today! "
"The first round of satellite broadcast of the TV series "Red Sorghum" exclusively produced by Feiyue Film and Television has ended, and the ratings are ranked first in the same period."
"The TV series "Nirvana in Fire" exclusively produced by Feiyue Film and Television officially takes over "Red Sorghum" and will premiere on Capital Satellite TV and Oriental Satellite TV tomorrow night. Please look forward to it."
Although Chen Fei is not in China, there are constant news about movies and TV series invested or exclusively produced by Feiyue Film and Television, which makes the industry envious.
Especially the news of the extension of the key of "Yunnan Worm Valley" has made the movies released in January wail constantly!
This kind of blockbuster has been successfully extended, and the unlucky ones are definitely those shoddy things.
However, everyone can't even find a reason to resist.
Domestic movies, have broken 2 billion box office, No. 1 in the New Year's Day, and have a great reputation... Such movies are born to be the best works for extension of the key!
As for The Crossing (Part 1) and The Step Away, which had previously clamored to break the 1 billion box office, they have already died down.
…
On the night of the Golden Globe Awards, the world's attention is focused on Hollywood.
In the morning, as the sun rises, major media have begun to report on this event in detail.
They capture every detail, from the crew's preparations to the appearance of actors and stars, from the layout of the Golden Globe Awards venue to the celebrity style on the red carpet, all of which have become the focus of the camera.
At the same time, the audience is also keen to discuss and predict the ownership of various awards.
Among them, Chen Fei and Leonardo, as well as the crew of The Revenant, have attracted much attention for their outstanding performance and reputation.
Their names are at the top of the major prediction lists, making them strong competitors for this Golden Globe Awards.
As the ceremony approaches, fans and audiences around the world are holding their breath, looking forward to witnessing whether their favorite movies can achieve excellent results as predicted at this grand awards ceremony, and also looking forward to the final ownership of other awards.
This day is destined to be exciting.
When Chen Fei, Leonardo DiCaprio and other main creative members of the "The Revenant" crew set off for the awards ceremony, major portals in China have already posted bright red headlines:
"There are less than 3 hours left before the 72nd Golden Globe Awards for Film and Television, let's wait and see..."
In the car, Leo was chatting with other members of the crew, and there was no tension on his face.
It's just the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor, it's not like he hasn't won it before.
What he is most looking forward to now is the upcoming Oscars, which is the real key award. As for the Golden Globe Award, it doesn't matter to him whether he has it or not.
People are always most obsessed with what they don't have, and as for what they have already obtained, it doesn't matter.
...
Outside the Dolby Theater, there was already a sign of a sea of people.
Media, film workers and fanatical fans from all over the world squeezed the red carpet around, looking forward to catching a glimpse of the stars.
One after another, luxury cars carrying filmmakers, actors, and stars drove slowly on the road leading to the theater.
As the destination approached, the speed of the cars became slower and slower.
Chen Fei stared at the grand occasion outside through the car window, watching the actresses in gorgeous dresses calmly get out of the car and walk elegantly to the door of the Dolby Theater. He couldn't help but sigh.
For him, today was just a very ordinary event. After all, he had won many Golden Globe Awards and had not participated in them in recent years.
But for other stars and actors, tonight's event was very important, especially on the red carpet, where every footprint carried dreams, efforts and sweat!
The traffic was slow, stopping and starting, as if accumulating suspense and expectations for this important moment.
After a series of waiting, the crew of "The Revenant" finally drove slowly to the famous red carpet outside the Dolby Theater.
The sky was getting darker, but the bright lights of Hollywood lit up the night sky like daytime.
Countless media and fans gathered on both sides of the red carpet, eagerly looking forward to the arrival of the crew. Every eye was focused on the dozens of meters of red carpet, looking forward to the appearance of the stars.
The red carpet host introduced the upcoming guests in fluent English. When the name of the crew of "The Revenant" sounded, the atmosphere on the scene was instantly ignited!
"Let us welcome Chen Fei, the Chinese director who has won three Oscars, Leonardo Dicaprio, the world's top superstar, Matt Damon and Matthew McConaughey, Oscar and Venice Golden Lion winners..."
As the names resounded throughout the venue, under the gaze of the audience, the doors of Duoliang's luxury cars were opened at the same time.
The next second, Chen Fei led Leonardo, Matt Damon, Matthew McConaughey, and several Hollywood first-line actors who had guest-starred in the crew of "The Revenant" to step onto the red carpet.
The appearance of this top lineup immediately triggered screams and cheers on the scene.
Walking on the red carpet, facing the camera and the enthusiasm of fans, everyone showed unparalleled charm and confidence!
On this starry night, the crew of "The Revenant" undoubtedly became the most eye-catching presence on the red carpet.
At this time, in front of the signature wall, Megan Ellison was being interviewed by reporters on the scene with the crew of "The Theory of Everything".
Originally, the few people were chatting happily, but when the crew of "The Revenant" stepped onto the red carpet, the reporters gathered in front of them suddenly decreased by more than half.
Megan Ellison, who loves face, suddenly collapsed.
Turning her head to look at Chen Fei, Leonardo and others, she immediately snorted coldly: "Don't be proud for too long, be careful of falling."
However, at this time, the male and female protagonists of "The Theory of Everything", Eddie Redmayne and Felicity Jones, looked at the red carpet with envy.
The world's top directors walked in front, and all the superstars behind were the best actor level. This lineup is enough to crush all the crews at the Golden Globe Awards tonight.
Perhaps only Chen Fei can gather such a terrible lineup, and other film producers and directors don't even dare to think about it!
After all... with so many movie stars in the same crew, how much would that cost?
In the hustle and bustle of the red carpet ceremony, Charlize Theron, who served as the hostess of the Golden Globe red carpet, smiled and walked towards tonight's important guest - Chen Fei.
"The Revenant is recognized as the favorite to win the award." Charlize Theron bent down slightly, revealing the bottomless ravine on her chest, staring at Lin Nan, and slowly asked: "Fei, you How much do you expect from your five nominations?”
Chen Fei shrugged, as if he was not attracted by her hot figure, and joked calmly: "If I am looking forward to it, it must be 100%. I want all the awards, but in the end it still depends on the judges' opinions, no ”
He is already a veteran in the interview industry, and he has easily avoided all the small holes deliberately dug by Charlize Theron.
After the remaining people were interviewed separately, the group entered the theater smoothly.
Chen Fei stood at the door of the venue and paused for a moment.
Looking around, almost everyone in the venue is familiar!
Actors from the Marvel movie series are all here today, including "Global Storm", which is currently being filmed, as well as actors from the "Transformers" and "Pacific Rim" series, all arriving at the scene today.
Since the Golden Globe Awards are divided into TV series awards and movie awards, he also saw the actors of "Game of Thrones" and "Shameless".
"Game of Thrones" is currently in its fifth season. As long as it is online, it has the highest click-through rate and broadcast rate among all American dramas.
"Shameless" is not bad, currently second only to the three American TV series "Game of Thrones", "House of Cards" and "Breaking Bad".
The staff came over at this time and led the crowd towards the front row.
"Senior Brother Chen Fei!"
The sudden shout made Chen Fei startled. He turned his head subconsciously and saw Jing Tian and Wu Jing sitting in the back row, waving towards him.
The two of them came in with the crew of "Pacific Rim". Although they are destined to not win any awards, they are still awesome to show their faces here.
Chen Fei waved his hands towards the two of them and continued walking forward without stopping.
"Brother Wu Jing, do you think Brother Chen Fei can win the grand prize tonight?"
Jing Tian looked at Wu Jing expectantly, as if she was about to win the prize, and she was very excited.
"I feel like there's no problem." Wu Jing said firmly, his eyes full of envy.
"I thought so too!"
Jing Tian echoed back, his eyes following Chen Fei's back, his admiration beyond words.
…
At eight o'clock in the evening, which is exactly 11 o'clock in the morning domestic time, the Golden Globe Awards ceremony officially began.
After the very tacky opening remarks, it was time for the performance.
Singers and dancers performed on stage one after another and presented wonderful programs.
Leonardo suddenly poked Chen Fei's arm and reminded in a low voice: "Fei, look at that tomboy over there, she is Megan Ellison."
"Um?"
Chen Fei looked in the direction of Leonardo's finger and saw a "woman" with short shoulder-length hair and a serious expression sitting upright, staring straight at the stage.
"Hey? Isn't this a replica of Larry Ellison with long hair?"
"Hahaha!"
Leonardo couldn't hold back his laughter, causing many people around him to look at him.
After the show, the awards ceremony officially begins!
The first is the TV category. Not surprisingly, this year's grand prize was once again shared equally among three American dramas: "Game of Thrones", "House of Cards" and "Breaking Bad".
Kevin Spacey finally won the drama category for "House of Cards", while "Peacock" Matt Bomer and Maggie Gyllenhaal won the Best Supporting Actor and Best Actress in a Miniseries categories respectively. , "Game of Thrones" won the Drama Award for Best TV Series...
Then there are the film awards.
"Best Foreign Language Film, Dangal."
Waltons Pictures is off to a good start.
"Best Animated Movie, Frozen."
Waltons Pictures wins another big award!
…
"Best Screenplay Award: Armando Poe, Alejandro González Iñárritu, Nicolas Garcobon, "Birdman"! Congratulations!"
"uh-huh?"
Chen Fei raised his eyebrows but didn't pay too much attention.
It’s just a screenplay award. If you don’t get it, you don’t get it. There are still 4 nominations to come.
"Best Supporting Actor: J.K. Simmons, "Crunch"
2 out of 5!
Leonardo blinked, the smile on his face suddenly condensed a bit, and he felt inexplicably nervous.
"Best Actor in a Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy: Michael Keaton, "Birdman."
"Best Actress in a Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy: Amy Adams, "Big Eyes."
"Best Actress in a Motion Picture, Drama: Julianne Moore, "Still Alice."
The three consecutive awards have nothing to do with "The Revenant".
Next up is the Best Actor in a Drama Movie award.
Many people have turned their attention to Leonardo, because in the list of nominations on the big screen, he is clearly in the middle.
"Winner of the Best Actor in a Motion Picture Drama: Leonardo DiCaprio, "The Revenant," congratulations!"
"Oh! My God!"
Leonardo stood up suddenly, his eyes widening.
He really didn't expect that after "The Aviator" and "The Wolf of Wall Street", he would actually win the third Golden Globe Award in his career as an actor!
This also means that in the next Oscar, his chances of winning will be greatly improved again.
Leonardo ran onto the stage excitedly, took the trophy, looked at Chen Fei, and shouted loudly: "Fei! I swear! If there is a chance in the future, I will marry you!"
Under the stage, Chen Fei had black lines on his head and shouted towards the stage: "Leon! Shut up! I'm not interested in men!"
In an instant, fierce laughter erupted in the venue.
Everyone happily watched Leonardo playing tricks on the stage, but while laughing, they couldn't help but feel a little envious.
Golden Globe Award winner! This is second only to the Oscars in the entire Hollywood!
Soon, Leonardo returned from the stage after giving his acceptance speech.
At this time, the pressure suddenly came to Chen Fei.
He was nominated for the Best Screenplay and Best Director awards respectively.
If he doesn't get the former, if he misses the latter, he will lose this Golden Globe Award.
At this time, Charlize Theron, who had previously served as the red carpet host, suddenly walked out from backstage with a brand new card in her hand.
"Best Director Golden Globe winner: Chen Fei, "The Revenant," congratulations!"
On the stage, Charlize Theron, who had just broken up with Sean Penn not long ago, looked at Chen Fei with bright eyes, and the love in her eyes was undisguised.
She has already begun preparing to implement the "Hundred People Kill" plan, and Chen Fei, who is hailed by Hollywood as "the sexiest, most talented, and strongest Chinese director", is obviously one of her goals.
With warm applause from the audience, Chen Fei stepped onto the podium with confident steps.
After a gentle hug with Charlize Theron, he received the Ballon d'Or trophy.
"Thank you to the jury for their support, and to all the actors and actresses of "The Revenant" for their support..."
After saying a routine thank you, before leaving the stage, he specifically responded to Leonardo's previous "speech".
"I've made it clear here that I don't like men, so Leon, you'd better give up on your intention to marry me."
For a moment, the audience burst into lively laughter again.
Leonardo held the trophy, faced the camera, and deliberately made a disappointed expression, causing many people around him to hold their stomachs and laugh wildly.
After returning to his seat, the tension in Chen Fei's heart immediately subsided.
I have already received the Golden Globe Award for Best Director. Although there is another grand prize later, it doesn't matter whether I can get it or not, at least I won't get nothing.
But soon, the surprise came again!
George Clooney, who won the Lifetime Achievement Award at this year's Golden Globe Awards, slowly came on stage and raised the small card in his hand: "I announce! The winner of the 72nd Golden Globe Awards for Movies and Television for Best Picture in the Drama Category is "The Revenant" "!"
At this moment, the whole audience was in an uproar!
Even if you win 3 out of 5, the winners are actually the three top awards of Best Actor, Best Director, and Best Picture. Do you want to be so fierce? !
Megan Ellison, who was sitting in the third row, frowned and stared at Chen Fei who stood up on stage to receive the award. She suddenly felt the pressure in her heart doubled.
Although "The Theory of Everything" is not without success today, it has won awards such as best editing and soundtrack. It is not comparable to "The Revenant".
And judging from the audience's voice, the latter is obviously higher than the former.
Leonardo's ugliness operation is so effective that almost everyone in the United States feels sorry for him now and thinks he is worthy of an Oscar.
And now, the Golden Globes have also given the most direct response, which means that the Oscars are likely to do the same.
In an instant, she had a decision in her mind:
"The public relations efforts need to be strengthened. The Golden Globe Award is not among my expected goals, but the Oscars must not be lost!"
