Chinese Entertainment: Academic Director

Chapter 163 Oscar Nomination

"The 61st Golden Globe Awards for American Film and Television has come to an end. my country's famous director Cao Yang won the Best Director and Best Screenplay for Drama for his film "Despicable Milk" and helped Johnny Depp win the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor."

"Director Cao Yang's "Dirty Milk", after winning the Palme d'Or at Cannes, once again won the Best Director, Best Screenplay and Best Actor at the 61st Golden Globe Awards for American Film and Television. He won three out of five nominations, breaking the record for Chinese people in the Golden Globe Awards."

"At the 61st Golden Globe Awards for American Film and Television, Cao Yang, a famous Chinese director, was nominated for three of the five awards he won, with his film "Dirty Milk" winning Best Director, Best Screenplay and Best Actor.

This is the second time a Chinese has won the Golden Globe Award for Best Director. The last time was when director Li An won the Golden Globe Award for Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, making history.

"Director Cao Yang's first trip to Hollywood was another great success. After winning the Palme d'Or at Cannes, he once again became the biggest winner of the night at the Golden Globe Awards, winning Best Director and Best Screenplay.

After missing out on the Best Actor Award at Cannes, Johnny Depp was crowned the Best Actor Award at the Golden Globe with the help of Director Cao Yang. In yesterday's interview, he expressed his gratitude to Director Cao Yang and praised him as a great director..."

……

In addition to the news about Cao Yang being everywhere on the Internet, print media in China have also begun to report extensively. After all, in the eyes of ordinary people these days, the awards from Hollywood are still very impressive.

Ordinary people may not know how great the three major European awards are or how authoritative they are, but they definitely know about Hollywood and how powerful American blockbusters are.

So accordingly, we also think that their awards are very impressive.

"You are not a simple junior brother. Last time, so many people swore that Cao Yang gave up the Golden Globe Award. But just a few days later, he won the Best Director and Best Screenwriter awards, and also won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor."

Chen Hong looked at the news report and turned to Brother Chen Kai.

After so long, Brother Chen Kai has finally let it go. To be honest, he had some resentment towards Cao Yang a while ago.

Originally, he was the only Chinese to win the Palme d'Or, which made him seem more awesome than others.

Even though Lao Mouzi has won many more awards than him, so what? He is not the only one. Others also have what he has. Others have also won what he has won.

Things are rare.

But this kid Cao Yang caused quite a stir when he went to Hollywood, and it was said that the filming of the movie almost couldn't go on.

As a result, they wrote a script on the spur of the moment, and when it was filmed, it dropped everyone's jaws, and by some strange coincidence it won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival!

This is very depressing.

What's even more depressing is that he originally thought that Cao Yang would be like him and return empty-handed after his trip to Hollywood. For this reason, he comforted Cao Yang and felt a bit of sympathy at the time.

Who would have known that this damn kid was actually holding back a big move, winning three out of five Golden Globe nominations, and most importantly, the most important Best Director award.

The Golden Globe Awards are still very authoritative to some extent in the United States and Hollywood, otherwise there wouldn't be so many big-name stars giving their respects at every awards ceremony.

Just wait and see, based on his performance at the Golden Globe Awards, his Oscar nominations to be announced the day after tomorrow won’t be far behind.

"The Golden Globe Awards is something that the Foreign Correspondents Association does randomly. It has no authority. Didn't you see that Cao Yang didn't even attend the event? He even didn't bother to promote it. So people who don't understand the situation are making a fuss."

Old Chen looked ahead at a 45-degree angle and spoke lightly, as if the Golden Globe Award was something not worth mentioning.

Chen Hong smiled secretly. She has been with Lao Chen for so long, but she still doesn’t understand him?
I just can't let go of my pride.

It's the male chauvinism at work.

"Cao Yang is your junior fellow apprentice. No matter whether the Golden Globe Award is authoritative or not, you should at least call and congratulate him. This will show your generosity as an older brother."

Chen Hong is able to control Lao Chen. She can both take Lao Chen's face into consideration and get things done.

Old Chen pondered for a moment, then nodded, agreeing. "That's right. He is my junior brother after all, and we are all family. As the elder brother, I have to remind him all the time. There are so many temptations out there. I want to prevent him from being blinded by the benefits of the outside world once he has achieved some success."

"That's right. This is what you, as an older brother, should do. The more achievements he makes, the more you should remind him and prevent him from taking detours."

After Chen Hong finished speaking, a smile appeared on Old Chen's face. What he said was right and it touched his heart.

A good wife! Beautiful and virtuous.

Similarly, during the New Year's Day, Xiao Gangpao and Xu Fan were also discussing this matter at home.

"This grandson is really going too far. It's Chinese New Year, but he's occupying so many media outlets. Is that okay?"

The little steel cannon smacked his lips in dissatisfaction. Is it worth making such a fuss about a damn Golden Globe Award, something that the Foreign Correspondents' Club made up?
Xu Fan laughed, and Little Cannon became jealous.

During this period, he had a good relationship with Cao Yang. In addition, the box office was booming, which greatly increased his self-confidence. He no longer called Cao Yang "this grandson" and started calling him "that kid" instead.

In these few days, the old name was restored.

There is a saying that goes, jealousy has changed me beyond recognition.

"That's not what you said a while ago. You were in front of the media, asking Cao Yang to go to the United States to promote it."

Xu Fan's personality is different from Chen Hong's. She is not so cautious towards Xiao Gangpao and even makes fun of him from time to time. Xiao Gangpao is happy about it.

"Oh, don't mention it, this is what makes me angry."

Little Steel Cannon waved his hand, "That grandson is very bad. He must have a chance to win the Golden Globe Award, but he is just hiding his badness and won't say it. I've kindly reminded him."

"Really? I remember you said privately that he must have given up the Ballon d'Or because he felt there was no hope."

Little Cannon didn't care about Xu Fan's sabotage and said shamelessly: "I was misled by that grandson."

Is it so easy to win the Ballon d'Or now?
I guess the Americans saw that Zhang Yimou's film grossed 2.5 million yuan in China, and started to pay attention to the domestic market. Should I also...

Want a shit!
I can't even fool myself.

ok I admit it.

That guy doesn't know anything else, and his box office is just so-so, but he is good at winning awards, just like that old guy Zhang Yimou.

Winning awards is useless. In that crappy place called America, besides the Oscars, the box office still counts.

You are really capable. You got five Oscar nominations, that's really impressive. I still respect you as a man.

Cao Yang received many congratulatory text messages and calls from many acquaintances today.

Even Brother Chen Kai called specifically and apart from saying congratulations, he spent the rest of the time preaching to Cao Yang.

To sum it up, be modest and prudent. This is just a minor award that is not so prestigious, not an Oscar. Don’t be blinded by the media’s hype…

At 9:30 p.m., the Oscar nominations were announced.

"Mean Milk" received ten nominations including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress, Best Original Screenplay, Best Editing, Best Costume Design, Best Cinematography, and Best Original Score.
