Entertainment 1998

Chapter 711 Chapter 710, I am the Golden Globe Award winner, who should I be afraid of?

As the time came to 8 o'clock in the evening, the award ceremony slowly began.

The opening show is still the old talk show routine.

The host, George Carlin, made fun of celebrities, politics, the US president, Chinese education, the Pentagon, etc.

"Everyone knows that men like beautiful women, no matter if they have long legs or are big."

“It doesn’t matter if you’re 20 or 50.”

George Carlin came to the crew of "The Departed" with a microphone.

"Ha ha."

Everyone laughed in unison.

This guy from the "The Hours" crew just made fun of the divorce between Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman. He said that the reason for their divorce was because of emotional discord.

Why is the relationship not compatible?
Because of the huge height difference, Tom Cruise couldn't reach Nicole Kidman's mouth even when he stood on tiptoe.

As soon as these words were spoken, there was immediate laughter at the award ceremony.

Any adult can understand such borderline words.

I just don't know if Tom Cruise, who has a strong sense of self-esteem, will go straight to George Carlin and fight him after seeing this in the media.

But it’s okay now, after all, the handsome Hollywood guy did not come to the awards ceremony.

"But just because Tom Cruise can't do it doesn't mean that other people's height can't do it, like this Chinese film director Jiang Feng.

Jiang, you should be about 1 meters tall, right? "

The camera turned to Jiang Feng. Facing the camera lens and the microphone handed to him by George Carlin, Jiang Feng smiled slightly and shrugged.

"Mr. George Carlin, you know that women like to wear high heels, and the heels of high heels are about 10 centimeters high."

"Ha ha…"

It has to be said that Jiang Feng understands American humor. Although his words were implicit, everyone present understood them.

Although I am 1 meters tall, I still can't kiss Hollywood beauty Nicole Kidman because beautiful women like to wear high heels.

So if you want to pick a fight, you have to find a handsome guy who is taller.

The laughter was so loud that it seemed to overturn the hotel lobby. Charlize Theron, who was standing next to her, couldn't close her mouth from laughing either.

I am 1 meters tall and Jiang Feng is 77 meters tall. No wonder it is so suitable for us to stand together and kiss. He doesn't have to lower his head and I don't have to raise my head.

George Carlin did a great job setting the scene.

The banter before the show starts is a favorite of the guests on the show, as well as the audience watching on TV.

Everyone loves to see celebrities with glamorous appearances being teased.

After the laughter, the award ceremony officially began.

"The next award is for Best Original Song, and the nominees are:
Gangs of New York - Bono, Adam Clayton
"8 Mile" by Eminem

Madonna in Die Another Day
My Little Pony: Hans Zimmer, Bryan Adams

"Wild Adventures" Paul Simon

On the big screen, several films were played in turn.

The award judge held a microphone in one hand and a card in the other, looking at the audience.

"Best Original Song goes to Bono, The Edge, and Adam Clayton for Gangs of New York. Congratulations!"

"Clap clap clap..."

Suddenly, applause broke out from the audience.

At the ceremony, the awards ceremony is continuing...

"The winner of the Best Original Score is Elliot Goldensell's "Frida", congratulations!"

The crew of "Frida" was basically just there for cameo appearances, so when they heard that the movie actually won the Best Original Score Award, everyone hugged each other and congratulated each other immediately.

The next best supporting actor and actress awards were won by Chris Cooper and Meryl Streep respectively, both from the movie "Adapted".

The award presenter smiled and continued to present the next award.

“The nominees for Best Screenplay are:
Jim Taylor and Alexander Payne, About Schmidt

Donald Kaufman, Charlie Kaufman, Adaptation

Bill Condon, "Chicago"

David Hare, The Hours

Jiang Feng "The Departed"

Jiang Feng straightened his back and stared at the big screen on the stage.

"The winner of the Best Adapted Screenplay is: Jiang Feng's "The Departed", congratulations!"

"Ha ha…"

As soon as the award presenter finished speaking, warm applause broke out at the award ceremony.

"Jiang, congratulations."

Charlize Theron was the first to stand up and hug Jiang Feng.

"Jiang, congratulations!"

Next came George Clooney, Matt Damon, Leonardo Dicaprio and Harvey Weinstein, who also hugged Jiang Feng to celebrate.

Especially Harvey Weinstein, this guy, when he hugged Jiang Feng, he didn't forget to whisper something.

"Jiang, don't worry, this is just the beginning!"

"Thank you!"

Jiang Feng straightened his clothes and walked towards the stage.

Stepping onto the podium, Jiang Feng took the trophy, said a few words of thanks, and then walked off the stage amid cheers from Chinese filmmakers including Han Shanye, Zhang Yimou, Li Lianhua, Fan Jiuyi, and Li Xing.

Unlike them, Jiang Feng had a calm expression. A Best Adapted Screenplay Award was not enough to make Jiang Feng ecstatic, otherwise his acceptance speech would not have been so simple.

As soon as Jiang Feng stepped down from the podium, the presenter on the stage began to present the next important award, the Best Foreign Language Film Award.

“The nominees for Best Foreign Language Film are:

"Tell Her" Spain
Balzac and the Little Tailor, France

City of God, Brazil

The Undertaker
"Africa" ​​Germany

"Hero" China

When the Best Screenplay Award was presented just now, it was Jiang Feng who sat up straight, but now, not only Jiang Feng, but also Zhang Yimou, Zhang Manyu, Han Shanye, Zhang Weiping and others all held their breath.

In fact, long before the filming of "Departures", Jiang Feng had asked Han Shanye whether they should choose to shoot this movie in Chinese or Japanese.

If you choose to shoot in Chinese in China, then you have to ensure that my film is eligible to compete for the Golden Globe Awards for American Film and Television and the Academy Awards for Best Foreign Language Film.

Since the star-studded "Hero" was already released at the time, Han Shanye gritted his teeth and asked Jiang Feng to choose Xiao Rizi as the filming location for "Departures".

Now, it's time for these two movies to face off. It would be a joke if "Hero", which cost 3500 million US dollars, could not win more awards than "Departures", which cost only 500 million RMB.

But that's how life is, what you fear will come true.

"The winner of the Best Foreign Language Film Award is: "Departures". Congratulations to Zhang! Congratulations to Jiang!" "Pa pa pa..."

There was thunderous applause.

In particular, Harvey Weinstein, Matt Damon, George Clooney, Charlize Theron, Leonardo Dicaprio and others who had a very good relationship with Jiang Feng gave their blessing hugs as soon as possible.

"Jiang, well done! Not only can you shoot movies in English, but your Japanese-language film "Departures" has also been recognized by everyone!"

Jiang Feng scratched his head a little.

According to my own thinking, if "Departures" won the Best Foreign Language Film Award, I would not go up.

After all, when applying for the Golden Globe Award, Zhang Yimou was ranked ahead of him in the director column, but the atmosphere had become so heated that Jiang Feng had no choice but to go for it.

Although he had to go on stage against his will, Jiang Feng still waited for Zhang Yimou for a while under the stage.

"Jiang Feng, you go first."

Zhang Yimou was a little disappointed that "Hero", which he had prepared for two years and put all his efforts into, failed. However, his mentality was still good. When he met Jiang Feng under the stage, he signaled Jiang Feng to go first.

In this situation, Jiang Feng couldn't walk in front of him, so he took a step back and reached out to push Zhang Yimou onto the stage.

Coming to the stage and taking the trophy from the award presenter, Zhang Yimou and Jiang Feng jointly held the trophy high to show it, and then Zhang Yimou walked to the microphone first.

The award ceremony was in progress. If the two of them were to give way to each other on the stage for more than ten minutes, it would be disliked. Therefore, Zhang Yimou, who was a little excited, took the lead.

"Thank you to the Golden Globe judges, you have the wisdom to give us this award; thank you to my family and friends, it is because of your encouragement that I have come this far; thank you to Jiang Feng and the entire crew of "Departures", it is because of your cooperation that we can go further."

Having said this, Zhang Yimou stepped back slightly and bowed to everyone.

"Clap clap clap..."

There was thunderous applause.

Generally speaking, as a co-award recipient, one would have the opportunity to give a speech to express his gratitude for the award, so as the applause died down, Jiang Feng walked to the microphone.

"Thank you Director Zhang Yimou. He has said everything I wanted to say."

"Ha ha…"

Jiang Feng's witty remarks immediately drew laughter from the guests and audience.

Amidst everyone's laughter, Jiang Feng and Zhang Yimou walked off the stage, while the award ceremony continued...

"Best Actress in a Musical or Comedy: Renée Zellweger, Chicago. Congratulations!"

"Best Actor in a Musical or Comedy: Richard Gere, Chicago. Congratulations!"

"Best Picture - Musical or Comedy: Chicago, congratulations!"

As the awards were handed out one after another, the ceremony took a break and singing, dancing, singing and rap were performed on the stage one by one.

...

The performance ended and the award ceremony entered its second half, with important awards being presented.

The award presenter on the stage was replaced by Sissy Spacek. Last year, she won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress for the movie "Unfaithful Love". At this time, she stood in front of the microphone, glanced at the card in her hand, and slowly said to the crowd:

"The winner of the Best Actress in a Drama Series is Charlize Theron, for the film The Departed. Congratulations!"

groove! ! !
Charlize Theron, who was a little nervous just now, stood up amid the applause, clenched her fists, and cursed.

"Jiang, you know what? I love you so much!"

The 1-meter-tall blonde beauty ignored everything at this moment, opened her arms, and hugged Jiang Feng tightly.

"Haha..., really? If you say that, I will be so excited that I won't be able to sleep tonight."

The beauty was happy, so Jiang Feng naturally would not hold her back. He smiled and hugged her, and then witnessed Charlize Theron and other actors in the crew celebrating.

"Congratulations, Theron!"

"Charlize, congratulations!"

"Charlize Theron, don't forget that you made a bet with Jiang Feng. If you can win the Best Actress award tonight, he will agree to one of your conditions."

The old rogue Harvey Weinstein is a man who enjoys watching the fun and not minding any trouble. While congratulating Charlize Theron on her award, he also did not forget to make trouble for Jiang Feng.

"Hmm, yes."

Charlize Theron, wearing a red evening gown, pointed at Jiang Feng in front of the camera, smiled mischievously, and then walked towards the podium with light steps.

Walking onto the stage and receiving the trophy from the award presenter Sissy Spacek, the dignified and beautiful Charlize Theron stood in front of the microphone and spoke.

"Well, thank you, thank you to all the judges for giving me the award for Best Actress in a Drama Film. I have to say that you have excellent taste..."

"Clap clap clap..."

As soon as Charlize Theron said this, there was warm applause at the award ceremony. Both the audience and the guests attending the award ceremony cheered.

This is what a movie queen should look like.

Seeing Charlize Theron was so eloquent, Jiang Feng also wanted to applaud, but at this moment, the phone in his pocket vibrated violently.

[Brother Feng, I'm Yuanyuan. I'm telling you clearly that I'm jealous! But I still want to congratulate you. You've trained a Golden Globe winner.]

[Jiang Feng, first of all, congratulations on training a Golden Globe Award winner!

Secondly, I want to tell you that you are capable of doing this. I thought you were going to find me a group of sisters in China, but I didn’t expect that you have expanded to the international level now. 】

[Brother Feng, keep going! Charlize Theron is my favorite actress. I didn’t expect she would be with you.

Well, and I hope your movie wins another award tonight. 】

[Jiang Feng, although you are not married, you should also pay attention to the impact. Just looking at your interaction with Charlize Theron at the award ceremony, even a fool would know that there is something wrong between you two.

But to be honest, you are simply amazing. Not only did you win the Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film, but you also trained a Golden Globe Award winner. 】

There were too many text messages received, one after another. Jiang Feng glanced at a few of them and turned off his phone.

These people are so boring, their eyes are always wandering around women.

Can't you send some words of encouragement to your buddies...

Jiang Feng, you have to stay calm, stay cool, and try to win the Best Director Award and the Best Picture Award or something? !
Just as she was complaining, the jubilant Charlize Theron came down from the stage, and at this moment, the presenter of the next important award, Russell Crowe, stood on the stage.

Finally, it’s time to present the Best Actor in a Feature Film.

Jiang Feng looked to the left at Leonardo Dicaprio, then to the right at Matt Damon, and saw that their faces were full of anticipation, their eyes fixed on Russell Crowe.

"The Departed" is a drama with two male protagonists, and both of them have been nominated for Best Actor at this year's Golden Globe Awards. Now let's see which of them will win the award?

"The winner of Best Actor in a Drama Film is Leonardo Dicaprio, and the winning film is "The Departed". Congratulations!"

As soon as Russell Crowe, the winner of last year's Golden Globe Awards, finished speaking, Leonardo Dicaprio jumped up, shouted loudly, and hugged each crew member one by one.

"Damon, are you okay?"

After hugging Leonardo Dicaprio, Jiang Feng turned to look at Matt Damon and said comfortingly.

"Jiang, I'm fine."

Matt Damon's mouth twitched and he answered with a somewhat lost look in his eyes.

"Damon, it's okay. There's still the Oscars to come. Maybe that's how God arranged it. Leonardo will win the Golden Globe, and the Oscar for Best Actor will be left to you."

"Yeah, that's right, Jiang, you're right!"

After hearing Jiang Feng's words, Matt Damon regained his fighting spirit.
