Chapter 520

Perhaps due to the rise of the feminist movement in North America over the past two years, this year's Golden Globe Awards unprecedentedly sent out two female actors to serve as hosts.

However, Tina Fey and Amy Poehler are both famous North American female comedians, and the atmosphere of the opening segment was very well done.

With witty remarks and various jokes, they roasted almost all the big-name stars who were eating and drinking in the audience. Liu Yifei was laughing so hard in the audience that her gums were showing.

It was just that when it entered the performance segment later, watching Taylor Swift change into a glittering gown and perform her hit single "Sweeter Than Fiction" on stage, the corners of Liu Yifei's mouth twitched involuntarily again.

And when the host teased Taylor about her rich romantic history, Liu Yifei deliberately showed Wei Jin an expression that said, "Look, didn't I say this woman isn't simple?" which was truly quite funny.

After the opening, the awards ceremony finally officially began.

First to be presented were the television awards. Because they had nothing to do with Wei Jin, he remained in a state of wandering in the void for almost the entire time.

Liu Yifei, on the other hand, paid quite a lot of attention to American dramas, and from time to time, she would cheer and jump for joy because her favorite shows won awards.

This startled and erratic performance formed a sharp contrast with her exquisite face, making Chen Xi, Jin Zhiwen, and others quite surprised.

More than an hour later, it was finally the turn of the film awards, and Wei Jin also perked up slightly.

The first to be presented was a very special award—the Golden Globe Cecil B. DeMille Award.

The winner was a well-known Hollywood actor, director, producer, and singer over fifty—Jodie Foster.

This person's experience is very legendary; she entered the entertainment industry by filming commercials at the age of three, appeared in her first film at eight, and became a film's female lead at fourteen. Her career path is even more mysterious than that of Liu Yifei beside her.

In 1991, she won the Best Actress award at the Golden Globe Awards, the British Academy Film Awards, the Chicago Film Critics Association Awards, and the Academy Awards in succession for that film familiar to audiences, "The Silence of the Lambs."

And at that time, Jodie Foster was not yet thirty years old.

Today, she has won the Golden Globe Cecil B. DeMille Award at the age of 50. This is the youngest winner in 45 years.

Looking at the radiant Jodie on stage, Liu Yifei showed an expression of extreme envy.

The Cecil B. DeMille Award should be the highest honor and praise for a film and television worker among all kinds of awards.

It's just that no one expected that this fifty-year-old lady would be so bold on stage.

Yang Xue herself had no such pursuits; at the table, she just focused on eating. In her eyes, the delicacies on the table were far more attractive than Wei Jin, the boss.

Although North America has always advocated freedom of love, Jodie's self-declaration still made the scene restless.

You have to know, her son was still sitting in the audience; this was truly explosive.

However, the North American public does have a strong mentality. After a round of well-intentioned applause, the interlude ended, and almost no one continued to discuss this topic.

The awards ceremony continued.

The Best Animated Feature Film was awarded to "Brave."

And the Best Foreign Language Film, for which Feng Dapao missed a nomination, was awarded to "Amour," which shone brightly at the Cannes Film Festival last year and won the Palme d'Or.

Immediately following was the Best Original Song award, which was presented to Adele, who has risen rapidly in recent years.

This female singer, who is only half a year older than Taylor, is truly powerful. She won a Grammy Award two years after her debut, and her fame globally is no less inferior.

Afterwards, Adele sang the theme song for "Skyfall," which was also the award-winning track this time—"Skyfall."

Next, it was finally time for the nominations related to Wei Jin, the Best Original Score award.

The names of several nominated films appeared on the big screen: "Gravity," "Life of Pi," "Anna Karenina," "Lincoln," and "Argo."

"The winner of Best Original Score is... 'Gravity,' Wei, King, congratulations!"

As soon as the presenter finished speaking, Liu Yifei stood up excitedly.

"Brother, it's us, it's us..."

"Yifei, relax, relax, be calm, there are cameras."

Wei Jin smiled and patted the girl's arm, also feeling relieved in his heart.

Honestly, with 2 nominations, the possibility of being shut out was too high; now at least there was a guarantee.

Jin Zhiwen was quite funny; when signing up, he insisted on giving himself an English name.

It was just that when it was time to go on stage, Wei Jin noticed that the stick-like legs under Jin Zhiwen's high-end suit trousers seemed to be shaking a little.

However, regardless, as a highly influential award in North America, the Golden Globes still attracted a lot of attention.

Just when Jin Zhiwen thought his boss would reach out a hand of friendship to help him, he saw that his boss had already strode onto the stage, with no intention of taking care of him at all.

Taking a deep breath, Jin Zhiwen squeezed the acceptance speech in his hand and cheered himself up in his heart: "Steady, steady, don't lose face, Lanlan is watching me..."

When Wei Jin won the award, the time in China had also reached around 10:00 AM, and the popularity in Sina's live broadcast room had risen much higher than in the middle of the night.

"A great start, there might be more to come."

"It's a pity for 'Life of Pi,' the awards conflict..."

"Damn, what's wrong with Jin Zhiwen? He couldn't even speak clearly, it's truly a bit embarrassing. Look at how comfortable Wei Jin was just now, thanking the motherland and the people, he has stature, hahaha."

"Big brother, the audience is packed with big-name stars, it's already very good that Jin Zhiwen could speak English clearly, don't be so harsh."

"Damn, this broken English is also called speaking clearly?"

"Fun fact, Jin Zhiwen is of Korean ethnicity, he learned Russian from childhood, and he marks Chinese characters and pinyin when singing English songs, hahaha..."

"Wei Jin is still the best, Jin Zhiwen even thanked him for taking him along, haha."

"Just kidding, a gold-medal producer is not something to mess with. If Wei Jin's main job wasn't a director, I guess those heavenly kings and queens would have to kowtow to him if he mixed in the music circle."

"Let's talk about some metaphysics. In 2007, Wei Jin took Zeng Li for 'Room,' 3 nominations and 2 wins; in 2010, Wei Jin went alone for 'Hunting,' 4 nominations and 1 win; this time with Liu Yifei, it's already 2 nominations and 1 win, and it might even be a clean sweep. What does this mean? Wei Jin still has to take a female companion. Not to mention the camera time, at least the luck value is increased a lot..."

"That's the logic. I suggest taking Da Meiyuan next time. She is graceful and atmospheric, and she brings more luck to her husband. Two times in Berlin, Silver Bear and Golden Bear, all complete, check it out..."

"What are you talking about upstairs? When it comes to atmosphere, who can compare to my Da Tiantian? And the 3 nominations and 2 wins were clearly Tiantian's credit."

I have to say, funny netizens have a lot of joy. Soon the live broadcast room began to discuss the topic of which Jin Girl brings more luck to her husband.

The fans of several families were almost fighting like dogs. Wei Jin didn't know about the liveliness of the netizens. After delivering a standard acceptance speech, he returned to his seat and handed the little golden man and certificate to Liu Yifei and others to play with.

The Best Screenplay award was presented to "Django Unchained," which is the film that Leon participated in.

The Best Supporting Actress award was presented to "Les Misérables," which had high expectations at this Golden Globe Awards. Anne Hathaway, who was just over thirty, with Audrey Hepburn-style short hair, shed tears on stage.

Speaking of which, this female star with perfect looks and figure is not very popular in North America because she is too perfect. Both the media and fans feel that she is too pretentious.

However, Wei Jin noticed that Anne Hathaway hadn't left the stage yet, and Leon not far away had already started to get nervous because the Best Supporting Actor award next had something to do with him.

Unfortunately, the result was shocking. "Django Unchained" won, but the winner was not Leon.

"Brother, Leon is too miserable, he can lose even this?"

Liu Yifei also had an expression of disbelief. It is very rare for the main villain to lose to the second villain with less screen time.

"Perhaps, Leon just lacked a bit of luck..."

Wei Jin didn't know what to say either. Since he met Xiao Lizi, this guy has been on the road to winning awards, accompanying the race time and time again. He even felt whether Leon was cursed.

In contrast, his good friend Matt had much better luck. "Hunting" won the Berlin Film Festival Best Actor, and "Promised Land," which he starred in last year, was shortlisted for the main competition unit of this year's Berlin Film Festival. Perhaps he has a chance to lift the trophy again.

Withdrawing his thoughts, Wei Jin noticed that the Best Actress in a Musical or Comedy award was already being presented on stage.

As expected, with the help of Weinstein, the big cousin successfully won this award for "Silver Linings Playbook."

She also became the youngest Golden Globe Best Actress in the past 25 years, only one year older than the youngest in history, Marlee Matlin.

However, perhaps it was because she was too dazzling, Jennifer Lawrence was a bit carried away when delivering her acceptance speech.

It was one thing not to hide her gratitude for Weinstein's public relations, but she actually directly satirized her competitor—that powerful actor who was nominated for "Hope Springs" and was favored by everyone—Meryl Streep.

You have to know, the latter is more than thirty years older than the big cousin. At the very least, there should be respect for old artists, right?

Wei Jin shook his head while watching from the audience. With this arrogant personality, no wonder she was criticized by the North American media and disappeared for a while after Harvey fell.

She looks good, but she has no brains. It's a pity... After the interlude, the awards ceremony continued.

The Best Actor in a Musical or Comedy was also pocketed by "Les Misérables," and the winner was Wolverine, Hugh Jackman.

Speaking of which, this one also has artistic pursuits. After becoming popular in Hollywood with Wolverine, he quickly sought transformation and successively appeared in many literary films.

"The Prestige," which Nolan considers the most commendable film of his directing career, was a collaboration with Hugh Jackman, and the latter's acting skills are indeed good.

The Best Actor and Actress in a Drama were presented to Daniel Day-Lewis of the "Lincoln" crew and Jessica Chastain of the "Zero Dark Thirty" crew, respectively.

These two films haven't won a single award so far, so I guess it can be considered a kind of balance.

However, at this moment, Wei Jin had no time to complain, the Best Director award was coming.

Liu Yifei changed from her previous appearance of watching the show and held Wei Jin's arm with some force.

"The winner of the Best Director award is Ben Affleck, 'Argo,' congratulations!"

As soon as the presenter finished speaking, Liu Yifei seemed to have been drained of her energy, looking frustrated.

"Alright, Yifei, victory and defeat are common in military affairs, just keep a normal heart."

After all, a director who can both win awards and has achieved huge success commercially, and who also holds a lot of resources in both Eastern and Western film circles, is really too rare.

La Vice Chairman added a sentence. This was also his first time attending a North American awards ceremony. Having an award in hand was already a political achievement enough to show his face.

"Yeah, the boss is still so young, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future, maybe he will come back next year."

Chen Xi thought of the script that was about to be launched and seemed very confident.

"Hehe, this journey is over. Let's fight again at the Oscars next month."

The Golden Globe only had two nominations. Being able to win one, Wei Jin was already very satisfied, but he cared more about the upcoming Oscars. With eight nominations, how many could he win?

Hmph, I'm really looking forward to it.

The subsequent awards had nothing to do with Wei Jin and his party, and their mentality was very peaceful.

The Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy was still pocketed by "Les Misérables."

This film, adapted from a century-old masterpiece, had a total of 4 nominations and won three, two acting awards and one crew award, which can be called eye-catching.

The Best Motion Picture – Drama was awarded to "Argo."

Although this film about political events did not clearly express political views, it was still regarded as ZZZQ by the mainstream media, and winning the award was expected.

At this point, the 70th Golden Globe Awards for film and television in North America came to an end.

"Gravity" had 2 nominations and 1 win, taking home a technical award, which can be considered as completing the task.

It was "Life of Pi," which had three nominations, that came away empty-handed, which was a bit miserable.

However, it was obvious that Li An didn't take the Golden Globe Awards too much to heart. During the cocktail party, he was still smiling and communicating with guests from all walks of life.

Including Leon, there was no frustration of failure at all. After smiling and greeting Liu Yifei, he talked to Wei Jin about the upcoming Oscars.

"Wei, the results of the Oscars will definitely be different."

Honestly, Wei Jin didn't know how to respond to this. Back then, with two nominations for "Blood Diamond" and "The Departed," Leon couldn't grasp them. I'm afraid it will still be difficult this time.

But he couldn't directly dampen others' spirits, so he could only raise his glass with a smile: "Hmm, then I wish you success in advance."

"Hey, thanks, you too, but what about the script you promised me? I've been waiting for almost three years."

"Don't worry, it's already finished. Both scripts are at Summit Entertainment, you can take your time to choose one..."

"Oh?"

Leonardo's eyes lit up when he heard this. Can you choose the award-winning script? Then he showed an excited expression: "Okay, then I have to choose carefully, haha."

After the banquet, Liu Yifei couldn't wait to pull Wei Jin back to the hotel, offering her perfect body, enthusiastic like fire... (End of chapter)
