Chinese Entertainment: Academic Director

Chapter 276 Historic
wow...

Applause began to erupt.

Eastwood coughed, and after a while of applause, he pressed his hands down to signal everyone to stop clapping.

"What happened? Did I mispronounce it?"

Sister Hong was clapping and praising Cao Yang's awesomeness when she suddenly became puzzled and asked Old Chen with some concern.

Old Chen frowned, patted Sister Hong's hand, and said softly, "Given Cao Yang's current status, even Eastwood wouldn't make fun of him by deliberately mispronouncing his name..."

He wasn't really sure either, and his heart was pounding.

Who knows if this old man on stage will go crazy? You know, this old man lost to Cao Yang at the Oscars last year. Is he holding a grudge and risking completely offending Cao Yang by playing a trick on him?

If that's the case, he'll go back and slam his fist on the table at the Film Bureau. Even if he has to use all his connections, he'll make sure the Film Bureau blacklists this old guy and never lets his movies into China again.

"Excuse me, please wait a moment before applauding. I want to add that this is Director Cao Yang's third Golden Globe Award for Best Screenplay! Yes, you heard right, the third time, the third time in a row!"

After Eastwood finished speaking, he raised his hands upwards as a gesture to everyone to stand up, and then he clapped his hands above his head.

Hua Hua Hua...

The guests applauded enthusiastically and stood up from their seats, looking in Cao Yang's direction.

Emma Stone covered her mouth in disbelief, looking at Cao Yang with astonishment. Then, she exclaimed and hugged Cao Yang tightly, whispering in his ear:

"Congratulations, Director! This is incredible. You are an incredible person. It's so shocking. I still can't believe it's true."

Then, as she released Cao Yang, she suddenly added softly, "I'll be eighteen in a few months, and I'll call you then."

"Congratulations, you are a great director, and even more so a great screenwriter and novelist."

Jason Reitman, the director of "Juno," also joined in the compliment.

"Thank you."

Cao Yang said something to Jason Reitman and got up from his seat.

Along the way, the guests stood and followed Cao Yang with their eyes, applauding him.

Old Chen also stood up. Looking at Cao Yang, who seemed to be the center of everyone's attention, he suddenly felt very gratified. His teacher had indeed made the right choice. This junior brother was truly remarkable!
"Thank you!"

Cao Yang walked onto the stage, first thanked Eastwood, and then took the trophy from his hands.

Eastwood hugged Cao Yang and said:

“You are a remarkable genius. I bought the entire book of your ‘Cao Yang’s Fantastic Journey’. Many of the stories in it are very exciting. If there is an opportunity, let’s collaborate and make a movie together.”

"There's a chance."

Cao Yang said to Eastwood.

He looked at the trophy and said into the microphone, "Thank you."

The applause, which had just subsided, rang out again.

"Thank you to the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, you are a very courageous group of people. Thank you to the entire crew of 'Juno,' thank you to director Jason Reitman, and thank you to Emma Stone for her wonderful performance, you are all the best."

"Also, I want to thank my alma mater, Beijing Film Academy, and my teacher, Mr. Situ, for teaching me so much. Finally, I want to thank my parents. Thank you." Watching Cao Yang walk off the stage, Old Chen clapped and said to Chen Hong, "From now on, when talking about the Golden Globe Awards, we can't avoid mentioning our junior colleague. Winning Best Screenplay for three consecutive years is probably unprecedented and will likely never be repeated."

Chen Hong nodded and then said, "Teacher Situ has excellent judgment. First it was you and Lao Tian, ​​and then Cao Yang."

Old Chen didn't even think about being modest; he simply nodded naturally, "The teacher's judgment is indeed excellent."

Looking at the triumphant Cao Yang, Stephen Chow was filled with emotion. Winning the Best Screenplay award for three consecutive years was something he could hardly believe, yet it had actually happened.

I can only dream about it being the best foreign language film, but there's no comparison!

Stephen Chow suddenly felt a little sorry for Lee An, whose "Brokeback Mountain" was originally the biggest favorite tonight, having received seven nominations.

Unfortunately, even if Li An wins major awards like Best Picture and Best Director, tomorrow's headline will still be about Cao Yang winning the Golden Globe Award for Best Screenplay for the third consecutive time.

What Stephen Chow could think of, Li An could certainly think of as well.

Furthermore, Li An thinks more and further ahead than Stephen Chow.

"Brokeback Mountain" is a project of Focus Features in Hollywood, and they made it clear to Li An when they were vying for the Oscars.

Because Cao Yang won the Oscar for Best Picture the year before last and the Oscar for Best Director last year, it's unlikely that the Oscars will give those two awards to a Chinese person again this year...

Therefore, the Golden Globe Award became Li An's greatest comfort.

Focus Features is also working in this direction, with a focus on the Golden Globe Awards.

However, with Cao Yang winning the Golden Globe Award for Best Screenplay for the third consecutive time, tonight's Golden Globe Awards are effectively over. No matter who wins what award, no one will generate as much buzz as Cao Yang.

This is something that will definitely leave a strong mark on the Golden Globe Awards.

Sigh, I don't know what the Hollywood Foreign Press Association is thinking. Do they really want to steal the spotlight from the Oscars?

Li An was depressed.

In September at the Venice Film Festival, "Brokeback Mountain" lost to Cao Yang's Chinese film "Black Swan". Tonight, even if "Brokeback Mountain" wins Best Film and Best Director, it will definitely lose to Cao Yang again in terms of popularity and buzz.

Zhang Ziyi stared intently at Cao Yang, watching everyone stand up for him, watching him go on stage, watching him give his acceptance speech, and watching him leave the stage...

She regretted it terribly, deeply.

She felt she had countless opportunities to "win over" Cao Yang, but unfortunately missed them all for one reason or another.

So now, to hell with the five of the Four Great Qingyi Actresses!
Isn't this mocking me?
If I had "captured" Cao Yang earlier, all these Best Actress winners would have been mine!
They all belong to me, fucking!
She pondered whether she still had a way to "win over" Cao Yang.

If I win the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress tonight, I'll see if I can take the opportunity to "win over" Cao Yang at the Golden Globe party hosted by NBCUniversal.

If I don't win the Golden Globe for Best Actress... it's impossible, absolutely impossible.

Even Zhang Ziyi herself couldn't imagine that if she missed out on the Golden Globe for Best Actress, the ridicule in China would be even more intense.

Damn it, just thinking about it makes me angry, and the more I think about it, the angrier I get.

I haven't lost my status, and my career in Hollywood is going quite well. My status is on the rise, so why am I not worthy of being one of the four great leading actresses in China?

This is fucking weird!
