On January 16, the annual Golden Globe Awards ceremony was held here at the Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles.

This year, in addition to the American NB and other TV stations broadcasting tonight's award ceremony, more than 100 TV stations around the world broadcast simultaneously.

Because there are two Chinese films competing for the best foreign language film this year, Zhang Ran's "Aviator" and Zhang Yimou's "Ten-Ambushes", CCTV Movie Channel will also record the award ceremony, but domestic audiences are very dissatisfied with this. Why not broadcast live? What kind of recording is not disgusting? Fortunately, the Century Summit will broadcast the entire online live broadcast, and the fans were relieved.

The five films that were nominated for the Best Foreign Language Film this time include the French film "Spring of the Cattle Class", the Spanish film "Sleeping in the Deep Sea", and the Brazilian film "Motorcycle Diary".

The only thing that hopes for the five movies is the French movie "Spring of the Cowherd Class". This movie has average evaluation in North America, with the freshness of Rotten Tomatoes only 68, and the rating of Mt is only 56 points. The Golden Globe Award is an award organized by the Hollywood Foreign Reporter Association. The low evaluation of the media and film critics means that there is little hope of winning the award.

The remaining four movies tell how a journey to South America inspired Che Guevara's worldview and made revolutionary enthusiasm sprout in his heart the weakest momentum, while the other three movies each have their own advantages.

"Sleeping in the Deep Sea" has an advantage in subject matter. Regarding life and death, the themes of foreign language films have always been the favorite of the Golden Globe Awards and Oscars; "The Aviator" not only has the Golden Lion Award, but also has the first place in "Visual and Audio" and "Movie Manual", but also won the Best Foreign Language Film Award from several North American Film Critics Associations; Although "Ten-Ambushes" has received a lot of bad reviews in China, it has a very good reputation in North America, with Rotten Tomatoes of 88 and 89 points. More importantly, Zhang Yimou has been disappointed twice in the Golden Globe Awards, and the judges are likely to compensate him.

However, almost all domestic media have stood on the side of "The Aviator". In addition to thinking that "The Aviator" is good and "The Ambush on Ten" is bad, everyone is also afraid of being slapped in the face by "The Ambush on Ten".

When "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was released, many media scolded Ang Lee to the point of being bloody. After "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" won the Oscar, these people had to swallow their original words and sing praises to the movie. Although the media has never had integrity, they still don't want to be slapped in the face again.

The media shouted loudly at the Golden Globe Awards, but Zhang Yimou and Zhang Ran may not take them seriously. At least Zhang Ran did not take the Golden Globe Awards too seriously. Because the Golden Globe Awards itself is a very popular award, selected by more than 90 members of the Association of Foreign Journalists, two-thirds of these members are part-time jobs. They are usually scattered in various industries such as education, real estate, automobiles and film publicity, but only occasionally write articles and have little authority at all.

Zhang Ran’s attempt to win the Golden Globe Awards is not for the awards themselves, but for the box office. There are many Chinese films that have won awards at the three major film festivals, and the winning awards of the three major film festivals are not very attractive to the audience. The Golden Globe Awards are rare, and only two Chinese films have won the Golden Globe Awards, "Farewell My Concubine" representing Hong Kong, and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" representing Taiwan. If "The Aviator" can win the Golden Globe Awards, it will be a great publicity.

The Golden Globe Awards have never been a simple award ceremony, but another form of beauty pageant. The audience and the media are most concerned about the Golden Globe Awards red carpet. Who wears the right clothes and who wears the same clothes again? For all celebrities, regardless of whether they can win the award or not, they will attend in full dress and show their most beautiful side.

At this time, the red carpet in front of the Hilton Hotel was filled with people, and the sound of shutters was clattering one after another. The camera flashed constantly. The bright and beautiful stars walked onto the red carpet with smiles, posing in various beautiful shapes while walking, cooperating with the photographers on the sidelines to take photos, and then gathered with acquaintances in the red carpet area to chat. The scene was extremely lively.

Zhang Ran wore a black suit, and with the efforts of the stylist, he used his own advantages to show off his appearance, making him look heroic; Zhang Jingchu next to him did not wear Dior's dress this time, but was wearing a blue and white porcelain dress designed by Guo Pei, which hides the blue and white elements under modern clothing. The broken porcelain pattern design shows a unique dynamic beauty between the folds and sways.

However, Zhang Ran and Zhang Jingchu are not famous in Hollywood, especially Zhang Jingchu is completely blank. When they walked on the red carpet, they basically didn't take photos except for a few Chinese journalists. This was not the first time they encountered such treatment, and they didn't care much about it.

"Robin!" A shout suddenly came from behind. Zhang Ran turned around and saw that it was Martin Scorsese.

Zhang Ran said to Zhang Jingchu, and the two walked straight over.

"Martin, long time no see!" Zhang Ran said enthusiastically when he came to Scorsese.

"Robin, you hateful little villain!" Scorsese had a smile on his face, and he spoke quickly, like shooting a machine gun. "I watched your "Aviator" and watched intently, from the first shot to the last scene. Every scene was so full and so perfectly balanced the story with the artistic style. As a movie that studies and reflects society, "Aviator" is really extraordinary!"

"Thank you Martin, I'm very happy to hear you say this!" Zhang Ran smiled. Being able to get recognition from a great god like Scorsese is a supreme honor for any director. "Let me introduce it, this is my girlfriend Zhang Jingchu!"

"Hello, Mr. Scorsese. Your "Taxi Driver" is one of my favorite movies." Zhang Jingchu was busy saying hello.

"I'm very happy to see you. You are a charming girl. Your performance in "The Aviator" is great!" Scorsese looked at Zhang Jingchu and replied with a smile.

"Thank you, Mr. Scorsese!" Zhang Jingchu replied with a smile.

Scorsese smiled at Zhang Jingchu, then pulled Zhang Ran and said, "Do you know which shot of you I like the most?"

Zhang Ran thought for a while: "The lens slowly unfolds to both sides?"

Scorsese laughed and said, "Yes, that lens is so wonderful. The painting slowly unfolds, and the whole world will be widened all of a sudden. It's like creating a new world. That feeling is so wonderful! This lens will be recorded in history forever and will become an immortal classic. I love this lens so much!"

Zhang Ran was a little proud: "The inspiration of the lens comes from Chinese paintings. Many Chinese paintings are collected in the form of scrolls. Open the scrolls and the whole world is slowly presented in front of you. That feeling is very wonderful!"

In fact, the inspiration for this shot was from the scroll of the O8 Beijing Olympics, but it was impossible for him to say it at this time after three years of the Olympics.

"The scroll of Chinese paintings is like this. It's such a beautiful shot. That shot can be called a scroll shot!" Scorsese's eyes were filled with a strong smile, "Do you know? The movie I'm going to make now is related to China."

Zhang Ran thought about it and his eyes lit up: "You are going to film the American version of "Infernal Affairs". I saw the newspaper saying that Warner bought the copyright of "Infernal Affairs" and was going to film the American version. I was thinking that there might not be a better candidate for such a gangster movie except Martin!"

"Yes, that's a great story, I really like it!"

Zhang Ran and Scorsese spoke as they walked into the Hilton Hotel. After entering the lobby, Scorsese asked Zhang Ran about their seats, and then patted Zhang Ran's arm: "I'm at Table 3, I'm here, and after the award ceremony, we will chat slowly at the party!"

The Golden Globes are not as serious as ordinary award ceremony. Celebrities attend the dinner and sit together and enjoy the ceremony and dinner easily.

Of course, the seat arrangement of the Golden Globes is also given in particular. The more important the award is, the more important the guests are arranged, the higher the guests are. For example, Martin Scorsese's "The Aviator" is a popular Golden Globes, and Scorsese and Leonardo sit at Table 3. Although Nicole Kidman is a superstar and won the Best Actress in the Drama category for "Rebirth", because the film's quality is mediocre and the chance of winning is not high, he was arranged at Table 15.

Zhang Ran and Zhang Jingchu were sitting at Table 68, one in the middle. The best foreign language film is a small prize at the Golden Globe Awards, which is not particularly valued. Being able to arrange Zhang Ran and the others at Table 68 means that the Golden Globe Organizing Committee is quite optimistic about "The Aviator". If "The Aviator" wins the award, you can walk faster when you go on stage to receive the award. For example, "The Spring of the Cowherd Class" is the least favored by "The Cowherd Class" to be arranged at No. 265, if they win the award, they will have to walk for a few minutes on stage.

The Golden Globe Awards are held by the Foreign Journalists Association, and they are all actors and journalists, and Hollywood stars have no privileges.

There are also reporters at Zhang Ran and the others' table, and in addition, there is a beautiful woman with a sweet appearance.

Zhang Ran looked at the woman secretly and asked tentatively: "Are you Britney Pierce?"

Britney glanced at Zhang Ran and said nothing.

Zhang Ran smiled slightly and introduced himself, "Hello! Britney! My name is Zhang Ran, and I am a director. That's it. In the middle of next year, I will shoot a short film and need a girl who can sing. I think you are very suitable. I wonder if you are interested?"

Britney glanced at Zhang Ran. Asians are so young, what good movies can they make? He refused without hesitation: "No interest!"

Zhang Ran was slightly stunned, with a little embarrassed expression, and actually refused so directly. He smiled and said nothing.

When Zhang Jingchu saw Zhang Ran being defeated, she chuckled softly: "I deserve it, I'm rejected, I'll let you chat with me!"

Zhang Ran was speechless: "Am I such a person? I really have a character and need a girl who can sing."

Zhang Jingchu pouted and said, "It is clear that she will make a movie for me after filming "Three Fools". She doesn't keep her word!"

Zhang Ran then understood what jealousy of Zhang Jingchu: "The one I want to shoot is not a complete movie, it is a short film of several minutes. Do you still remember? During the Venice Film Festival, a French producer invited me and other directors to shoot a short film of love about Paris for several minutes, and then synthesize a movie "Paris, I love you"! I am going to shoot this short film. As for your heroine drama, I have already figured out what to shoot!"

When Zhang Jingchu heard Zhang Ran say this, she asked curiously: "Really? What are you taking?"

Zhang Ran smiled and said, "Keep confidential for the time being!"

Zhang Jingchu gently beat Zhang Ran: "Hate!"

Britney didn't understand, didn't know what Zhang Ran and the others were talking about, and she didn't care. Very few Asian directors can make it in the United States, but she knew Ang Lee anyway, and the person in front of her was obviously not Ang Lee.

In fact, she is not interested in acting in movies, but in fact she is interested. She has participated in several movies in recent years. However, most of these movies are of poor quality, which brings her not glory but shame. So far, she has won two Golden Plum Awards, one for the worst heroine and one for the worst supporting actress. She doesn't want to be a laughing stock anymore, so she is more cautious in taking on the role.

The award ceremony began soon, and Britney slowly drank red wine, listened to the host's cold jokes, and laughed from time to time. At this moment, she saw a familiar figure walking towards her, which was Leonardo. (To be continued.)8
