Chapter 589: The Awards, Four Wins from Six Nominations

Six nominations and six wins is, of course, merely a beautiful hope.

In Hollywood awards, the probability of such a thing happening is far lower than in the domestic scene.

After a night passed, the entire Hollywood had already entered its climax phase.

Starting from the morning, all kinds of media were reporting on the Golden Globe Awards information.

The content covered major film crews, actor stars, the award ceremony venue, the Golden Globe red carpet, numerous cross-over celebrities, and predictions on the winners of various awards.

Lin Nan and the crew of "Manchester by the Sea" naturally made the list, and ranked very high.

In the villa, since makeup and styling would not begin until after noon, Liu Liu Yifei decisively chose to stay in bed.

She even specifically "warned" Lin Nan not to disturb her before eleven o'clock, or else "severe punishment would be served"!

Lin Dao Da, of course, had no objection to this.

After tossing out a remark that "assistants, stylists, and representatives from the brand partners will arrive at the villa a little after eleven, don't oversleep," he went to the living room alone.

Phone calls and text messages kept coming, more than half from the domestic scene; it was truly hard on these people, as it was already 11 PM in the domestic region at this moment.

"Lin, quite a few Hollywood media outlets want to interview you before the award ceremony begins. Should you accept?"

On the sofa, Lin Nan hadn't even gotten his butt warm yet when Tang Mu came over with something important.

"When I first attended the Oscars last year, I didn't get this kind of treatment! I'm truly a bit impressed by these people; I don't even know what to say about them?"

Lin Nan shook his head, unable to hold back a chuckle, his tone carrying a hint of disdain.

Hollywood media also judge people by their status, and even more so than in the domestic scene. Compared to last year, he was indeed a hot favorite this year, a far cry from before!

"Your meaning is, refuse?"

"Mm, refuse it. No time, and no mood." Lin Nan said to Tang Mu, crossing his legs.

"This, that, well, okay then."

Tang Mu stammered and nodded. He dared not tell Lin Nan that he had already solemnly patted his chest and promised several media outlets, or he would be scolded.

"You didn't act first and report later, did you?!"

Lin Nan's eyes instantly sharpened; Tang Mu awkwardly rubbed his hands, a smile on his face that begged for a beating.

"Handle it yourself, and scram quickly."

Lin Nan waved his hand with a look of disgust, ready to see the guest off.

"Don't, I was just being kind... Alright, alright, I'll personally bring people over at noon to deliver the meal. Tell me what you and Crystal want to eat..."

Seeing that Lin Nan was about to lose his temper, this guy Tang Mu hurriedly slipped away.

"Truly becoming more and more outrageous, actually using my name to show off in front of the media?"

Lin Nan grumbled and complained; he was ninety percent sure that Tang Mu had absolutely bragged in front of the media, and in a show-off style!

After taking phone calls from Leonardo, Ma Te Damon, Jessica Chastain, and others in succession, Lin Nan continued flipping through the news.

He was now just waiting to take Liu Liu Yifei with him in the afternoon to "march out" for the Golden Globe Awards ceremony. He also hoped the results tonight would go as wished.

Entertainment news in the domestic scene had already reached an explosive peak.

Gossip about how twenty tons of gold were found in Uncle Zhao's house and that he had already committed suicide was actually topping the hot search and headlines; it was simply unbelievable.

Amidst the uproar of public opinion, the circle saw for the first time just how strong Uncle Zhao's influence was.

The General Administration issued an announcement for the first time, specifically clarifying entertainment gossip about a certain artist:

"... The official side has never banned anyone! Relevant false reports are purely rumors; please delete them immediately and do not repost!"

Lin Nan was killing time in the living room, not going out for a stroll.

Because in today's Hollywood, there were more paparazzi than stars; going out once would be very "dangerous."

Approaching eleven o'clock, Miss Liu kept her word, got up, and started washing and brushing.

And their assistants, bodyguards, plus makeup artists, stylists, and several brand representatives all rushed over before 11:30.

"Tang Mu will bring the meal over in a while. Everyone, let's have lunch before starting the work. Anyway, the Golden Globe red carpet isn't until after four in the afternoon."

Lin Nan addressed everyone.

Fortunately, the villa he bought back then was large; otherwise, with over twenty people, the living room would definitely have felt cramped, unlike now, where it remained very spacious.

"Lin Dao, you are too polite."

"Yes, our Producer Liu is naturally beautiful; two hours for makeup and styling is definitely enough."

Chattering flattery and back-slap sounds rose up everywhere.

Many couldn't help but look around this large villa in Beverly Hills, muttering in their hearts, just how many US dollars must this cost?

Just past noon, Tang Mu arrived with two restaurant trucks.

The huge courtyard immediately turned into an outdoor party scene.

"Leon and Ma Te can come over before two in the afternoon, but Jessica has to go at three."

"Mm, after all, she is a female actress; she needs quite a bit more makeup and styling time than male actors." Lin Nan nodded with a smile.

In just half an hour, everyone finished lunch.

And after rinsing her mouth, Liu Liu Yifei had already sat down in front of the dressing mirror.

Several makeup artists and stylists gathered around her and started working.

"Lin Dao, and you as well."

"Lin Nan, come quickly, there's a spot for you right beside me; you can't run away..."

Liu Liu Yifei joined in the commotion behind the stylists; Lin Dao Da also needed to get ready, as he would definitely be on camera.

"Alright, coming right up."

While Lin Nan and Liu Liu Yifei were getting their makeup and styling done, it was already nearly 5 AM in the domestic region.

On all major portal websites and Weibo's trending searches, huge headlines read:

"Countdown to the live broadcast of the 72nd Golden Globe Awards ceremony..."

Leonardo and Ma Te Damon, both in sharp suits, arrived at Beverly Hills, causing a stir.

Lin Nan, already styled and changed into his suit, couldn't help but tease the staff brought by Liu Liu Yifei and himself:

"In a moment, I'll let them take photos and sign autographs for you all. For now, don't get too excited!"

All in all, the charm of "Jack" was irresistible, even though the knife of time had stabbed Leonardo countless times.

"Lin Dao, there's a call."

The assistant handed the phone to Lin Nan. He glanced at it; it was a domestic number with no saved name.

"Hello?"

"Lin Dao, this is the Film Channel..."

Two minutes later, Lin Nan hung up and looked at Tang Mu.

"Lin?"

"Go outside and bring the Film Channel people in. Hmm, you come along too."

Lin Nan said this to both Tang Mu and the assistant simultaneously; Beverly Hills was not easy to enter!

"They found their way here?"

Seizing the moment while the makeup artist changed positions, Liu Liu Yifei asked.

"Yes, they want to record some footage as behind-the-scenes material before the live broadcast. The domestic side will broadcast in two hours on the Film Channel and various internet platforms.

Liu Qianqian, you, whose makeup and styling aren't finished yet, will be the main focus of attention later, hahaha..."

Liu Liu Yifei couldn't speak again, so she could only hum and haw to express her emotions, which translated to: "So what? It's a small matter!"

"Leon, Ma Te, would it be okay if you appeared on camera?"

Looking at the two sitting on the sofa playing with their phones, Lin Nan asked.

"OK!"

"Of course."

A four-person team from the Film Channel was brought in, accompanied by Jessica Chastain, her assistant, and her bodyguard.

Jessica, in a rose-colored gown paired with heavy makeup, looked perfectly matched and dignified.

"Lin Dao, thank you so much."

The leader of the Film Channel team came forward to express gratitude as the cameramen got busy.

"Jessica, come sit quickly. After Crystal finishes, we can probably set off." Ma Te Damon invited.

"Hmm, okay."

When it was just past 3 PM in Hollywood, it was already nearly 8 AM in the domestic region.

Major portal websites and internet platforms still displayed the "Live Broadcast Countdown" logo, but the Film Channel was already playing "Golden Globe Behind-the-Scenes."

A huge number of netizens noticed something was off. Good heavens, how was this behind-the-scenes footage?

This was inside Lin Dao Nan and Liu Liu Yifei's villa in Beverly Hills! A top-tier luxury mansion!

"The Sixth Princess is awesome this year! In the past, when broadcasting the Golden Globes, before it started, they showed scenes outside the red carpet, paired with predictions, commentary, and introductions to nominated actors and stars. This year, they actually made it into Lin Dao's villa!"

"Liu Liu Yifei is getting her makeup done, dressed so casually! It proves that no outfit can affect her beauty!"

"Little Li and Ma Te Damon appeared on screen... in suits and leather shoes, truly Hollywood superstars!"

"Jessica Chastain's gown is nice, just no cargo in the front!"

"Lin Dao's look today is a pity he's not acting in an idol drama! Simply a loss for the mainland film and television industry!"

"Am I the only one silently wondering how much this villa is worth? Such a huge living room..."

"No need to worry about that; it's not something we can concern ourselves with. But roughly estimating, it should be close to nine figures? The unit is US dollars."

At exactly 4 PM, seven cars drove out of Beverly Hills.

Besides Lin Nan, Liu Liu Yifei, and others, there were the accompanying assistants and bodyguards.

After they walked the red carpet, these people would wait outside until the awards ceremony ended and they could pick everyone up smoothly.

At this moment, live broadcasts of the Golden Globes on various domestic platforms officially began.

Furthermore, a large number of filmmakers, actors, artists, and media from the film and television industry were paying attention to this side.

Outside the Dolby Theatre, it was already packed with people.

Media, filmmakers, and fans from all over the world surrounded the red carpet completely.

Vehicles carrying filmmakers, actors, stars, and public figures moved slowly; the closer they got to the destination, the slower they went.

Through the car window, Lin Nan looked at the scene outside and couldn't help but sigh: "Just these last two or three kilometers, I estimate it'll take an hour?"

"Most female actors and stars wear gowns; getting out of the car is more troublesome, so it definitely delays time. I'll be about the same in a moment."

Liu Liu Yifei puffed her cheeks, looked at Lin Nan, and said with a clear implication.

"Rest assured, I'll help you out of the car, Princess Liu Qianqian."

"Hmm hmm, then I'll leave it to you, Lin Dao."

The convoy moved a few meters, stopped for two minutes, moved a few meters, stopped for two minutes.

More than an hour after the Golden Globe Awards ceremony red carpet began, the cast and crew of *Manchester by the Sea* finally arrived at the red carpet, which was only a few dozen meters long, outside the Dolby Theatre.

At this moment, the sky had completely darkened, but Hollywood's lights reflected the entire sky as if it were daytime.

Plus, the countless media and fans visible at a glance instantly displayed the full grandeur of the Golden Globes.

The red carpet host, speaking in English, was already introducing:

"Next, walking onto the red carpet under the lights and before the cameras is the cast of 'Manchester by the Sea'!

They are our old friends: Leonardo DiCaprio, Jessica Chastain, Ma Te Damon, and director Lin Nan with his fiancée, actress crystalliu!"

After Leonardo and Ma Te Damon stepped out of the first car, a wall of shouting instantly erupted.

The two helped Jessica Chastain out of the second car, their etiquette impeccable.

At the same time, Lin Nan stepped out from the back seat of the third car.

His height of over one meter eighty, combined with his slim-fitting suit, made him extremely conspicuous.

The next second, before countless cameras, Lin Nan had already taken hold of a snow-white, tender hand extending from inside the car.

Immediately appearing in everyone's sight were Bai Xi's arms, and jade feet stepping in pale gold crystal high heels.

Liu Liu Yifei, in a strapless sequined long gown, simply appeared before countless eyes.

The slightly form-fitting long gown outlined her graceful figure. Countless rose-gold sequins shimmered brilliantly under the lights.

On her white, tender, and slender neck lay a pink diamond-encrusted necklace, making her skin appear even more like snow.

And with her long hair piled up, plus her height of one meter seventy-one, her entire aura became even more otherworldly and independent!

Bright eyes and white teeth, a beauty from the northern lands; this perfectly described the Liu Liu Yifei in Lin Nan's eyes at that moment!

"Lin Nan?"

Miss Liu took Lin Nan's hand actively, interlacing their fingers, her eyes filled with tenderness, and she playfully interrupted his daydreaming.

"Let's go, beautiful Princess Liu Qianqian, I was so mesmerized."

"Mm-hmm."

Lin Nan and Liu Liu Yifei, hand in hand, walked onto the red carpet together with Leonardo and the other two.

As a director competing for Golden Globe film awards for the first time, Lin Nan was bound to be interviewed by the red carpet host.

Sure enough.

"Lin, for tonight's Golden Globes, 'Manchester by the Sea' is the recognized favorite to win. How much expectation do you have for your six nominations?"

"If it's about expectation, then it's definitely one hundred percent; I want them all. But whether I can win, or how many I can win, that depends on the jury's will. In short, I have come full of expectation."

Lin Nan felt this answer was quite perfect. Liu Liu Yifei was also nodding beside him.

Leonardo was an old hand at the Golden Globes, a two-time Best Actor winner—for 'The Aviator' and 'The Wolf of Wall Street'!

When answering the question, he showed no modesty at all, stating directly that he hoped to win his third Golden Globe Best Actor trophy.

Ma Te Damon and Jessica were much more reserved, merely expressing a desire to win awards.

The five walked along the red carpet, slowly heading toward the end, frequently waving to the media and fans on both sides along the way.

The moment they entered the doors of the Dolby Theatre, the smiles on their faces immediately faded; their facial muscles were a bit sore!

"Over there?"

Ma Te pointed in a direction because Matthew McConaughey was waving to the group.

At this time, the staff arrived, leading the five toward their assigned seats.

Since the Golden Globes are divided into television and film awards, Lin Nan saw many American TV drama crews that were very famous even domestically.

'Breaking Bad', 'Modern Family', 'The Big Bang Theory', 'Downton Abbey', 'House of Cards', 'Game of Thrones'...

As for the film actors, Lin Nan didn't recognize many either: Scarlett Johansson, Robert Downey Jr., Benedict Cumberbatch, Kate Winslet...

Seeing Kate Winslet, Lin Nan couldn't help but complain internally that the knife of time had stabbed "Rose" no less times than it had stabbed "Jack".

As soon as the five sat down, many actors around them greeted them, mainly coming for Lin Nan.

A director capable of competing for awards is, no matter where, a top-tier scarce resource!

Whether he knew them or not, Lin Nan accepted everyone's greetings, simply nodding with a smile.

The live broadcast ratings for the Golden Globes in the domestic market were rising in real-time, because it was about to begin.

"Lin Nan, look at the position farthest to the right by the corridor; the domestic media are pointing at us."

Liu Liu Yifei leaned close to Lin Nan's ear and whispered.

Afterwards, the two looked over together and waved with a smile; this shot instantly appeared in the domestic live broadcast.

At exactly eight o'clock in the evening, which is just past eleven in the morning domestic time, the Golden Globe Awards ceremony officially began.

Lin Nan even admired the Golden Globe's two hosts, who actually started by making jokes about the movie 'The Interview'.

"Due to the movie 'The Interview', this might be the last Golden Globe Awards. Because North Korea has expressed extreme dissatisfaction and condemnation, it might involve disputes at a higher level..."

As the words fell, a burst of laughter erupted throughout the venue.

Lin Nan remembered that even over here, this movie was a controversial film; many cinema chains refused to screen or schedule it upon its release.

After the warm-up above, the performance segment began.

After several famous singers performed consecutively, the television awards began to be announced first.

As the actors went up one by one to accept awards and give speeches, Lin Nan unconsciously felt a bit nervous; the film awards were coming!

The hands of him and Liu Liu Yifei, interlaced, unconsciously tightened, and then were gripped back even more firmly.

Lin Nan subconsciously looked at that exquisite profile, but what greeted his gaze was a beautiful front view.

"Hehe, our Lin Dao is actually nervous?" Miss Liu smiled, blinking her eyes, and lightly teased.

"Ah? Seems like, a little bit. Hehe..." Lin Nan nodded, not denying it.

It wasn't just him; Leonardo, Ma Te, and Jessica on the left, wasn't every single one of them looking completely focused? Their legs were even trembling slightly!

Although Leonardo had won two Best Actor trophies, his obsession with the trophies far surpassed his obsession with supermodels under twenty-five; he would only be more greedy. At this moment, he was resting his chin and lips on his crossed hands.

"Best Foreign Language Film, 'Leviathan'!"

The film awards began; Lin Nan instantly straightened his back, while Liu Liu Yifei leaned closer to him, holding his hand tightly.

"Best Animated Feature Film, How to Train Your Dragon 2!"

……

"Best Original Score……"

……

"Best Original Song……"

……

On stage, the winner was giving a speech; below, many were holding their breath.

"Lin? The screenplay award is up next……"

Leonardo on Lin Nan's left reminded him; Ma Te and Jessica also turned to look at Lin Nan.

"Yeah, I know."

Just as Lin Nan finished speaking, the presenter spoke up.

"The Golden Globe for Best Screenplay…… Birdman, congratulations!"

One down!

In the hearts of the five, that thought flashed instantly—they all felt a pang of discouragement.

Watching the ecstatic winner on stage, Lin Nan took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, trying to calm himself.

"It's starting," Liu Liu Feiren reminded.

"Best Supporting Actress: Patricia Arquette, Boyhood, congratulations!"

They clapped politely; the most tense was Ma Te Damon, for the next award was his nomination.

……

"Best Supporting Actor: Ma Te Damon, Manchester by the Sea, congratulations!"

When Ma Te's name was called, Lin Nan and the others all widened their eyes, their excitement and joy overflowing—finally, the first award of the night had arrived.

"Ma Te, you bastard!" Leonardo blinked, laughing and scolding.

"Hahaha, I knew it would be me……"

Ma Te Damon could not suppress his beaming smile and stood up.

Amid the applause of the entire hall, he embraced Jessica, embraced Leonardo, embraced Lin Nan.

"Crystal, let's just shake hands. Otherwise, Lin might give me trouble. Hehe……"

"Yeah, okay."

Liu Liu Feiren couldn't help but glance at Lin Nan; seeing his expression—"I'm just that petty"—she felt deeply satisfied, sweetly so.

When Ma Te stood on stage to receive the Golden Globe trophy, his face beamed with uncontainable joy.

"Thank you so much, Lin—really. He's sitting right there. He's the youngest director I've ever worked with; we've collaborated twice already.

The first time was The Hunt—he helped me win the Volpi Cup for Best Actor at the Venice International Film Festival;

This is the second time—he helped me win the Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actor! I hope there'll be a third, a fourth……

Oh, by the way, thanks also to Leo—for introducing me to Lin, otherwise we never would've made these two films……"

Ma Te was enthusiastically speaking on stage, but Leonardo on Lin Nan's left was pursing his lips, wearing an expression so comically murderous it looked like he wanted to send Ma Te to his grave!

In just five minutes, Ma Te came down from the stage, clutching the certificate and trophy, beaming with delight.

"Ma Te, congratulations. Let me see."

Jessica was the first to speak, taking the trophy and certificate.

"Leo, what's wrong with you?"

"Me? I'm thinking when I should punch you."

"Huh? Hahaha……"

Ma Te instantly realized—the Venice trophy was the one wound Leonardo would never forget!

"Lin Nan?" Liu Liu Feiren whispered.

"Just wait. It's coming soon. At this point, it's hard to say—but at least the crew didn't leave empty-handed, right? Whether your collection gains another piece, though, that's uncertain."

Lin Nan stroked Liu Liu Feiren's smooth hand, steadied his emotions, and forced a smile.

"I never said I absolutely needed it—there's still Berlin and the Oscars. Don't stress. Ma Te's one award is already enough to justify our return home."

"Best Actress in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy: Amy Adams, Big Eyes, congratulations!"

……

"Best Actor in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy: Michael Keaton, Birdman, congratulations!"

……

"Here it comes, here it comes!" Lin Nan and Liu Liu Feiren said in unison.

Both turned to Jessica and Leonardo; the two were swallowing hard.

"Best Actress in a Motion Picture – Drama: Jessica Chastain, Manchester by the Sea, congratulations!"

"Aaaah……"

In an instant, Jessica leapt up screaming.

The entire hall burst into laughter and applause—this was exactly how a winner should behave!

"It… it actually happened!"

Liu Liu Feiren was equally thrilled—Lin Nan had just won a Golden Globe Best Actress!

"Lin……"

Seeing Jessica charge toward him with a wild, ravenous expression, Miss Liu immediately sidestepped and placed herself in front of Lin Nan.

Her piercing gaze instantly froze Jessica Chastain in place.

Hundreds of people on the scene now understood perfectly well; the jeering and laughter grew even louder.

"Stingy ghost, Crystal."

In the end, Lin Nan and Zhou Jie Xi Ka embraced; this time, he wasn't taken advantage of like at last year's Oscars.

When Zhou Jie Xi Ka stepped onto the podium, Lin Nan was "called out" once again.

"Thank you, Lin, for casting me in two films for two consecutive years, allowing me to win the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress and the Golden Globe for Best Actress. Thank you.

Just as Ma Te said, I also hope we can continue to collaborate in the future, keep collaborating forever..."

Listening to the speech on stage, Lin Nan felt a bit nervous.

Two actors from the crew had already won awards; if he ended up with nothing, that would be a huge letdown!

A moment later, Zhou Jie Xi Ka happily ran down, sat in her seat, and flipped through her certificate and trophy.

This was actually her second Golden Globe for Best Actress; she had won one the year before for "Zero Dark Thirty," but when she campaigned for the Oscars that time, she lost to Jennifer Lawrence, who had the Weinstein Company's backing!

Finally, it was time for the Best Actor award.

Many people turned to look at Leonardo; he could be called a veteran of the Golden Globes.

"The winner of Best Actor in a Motion Picture Drama: Leonardo DiCaprio, 'Manchester by the Sea.' Congratulations!"

The third time!

Xiao Li Zi shot up from his seat, a smile of joy and excitement on his face.

"Congratulations, Leo."

"Congratulations, Leo."

Lin Nan, Liu Liu Yifei, Zhou Jie Xi Ka, and Ma Te Damon spoke in unison to offer their congratulations; everyone was happy.

"Thank you, Lin."

Leonardo was the first to embrace Lin Nan, his body trembling with excitement; this was his third Golden Globe for Best Actor!

Standing on stage, Leonardo fell silent for a few seconds, causing the entire venue to quiet down as well.

"Up until now, I still regret why I introduced Ma Te to Lin back then? I should have returned immediately to read the script for 'The Hunt,' instead of vacationing on Miami Beach..."

The stage suddenly erupted in even louder laughter; missing the Venice Best Actor award due to a vacation? Ninety-nine percent of the people present were hearing for the first time that Leonardo had such an embarrassing story!

"He still remembers that?"

Liu Liu Yifei lightly covered her mouth, leaning close to Lin Nan and smiling.

"In his eyes, awards are the most important. Just look at Ma Te's smug expression to know that."

Liu Liu Yifei looked to the left, and sure enough, she saw Ma Te Damon making faces at the stage.

"... Thank you, Lin. Perhaps this time, we can keep 'winning' all the way..."

Only four core creators from the "Manchester by the Sea" crew had come, but so far, three of them had won awards, which clearly demonstrated the film's strength!

However, immense pressure was now placed on Lin Nan.

Liu Liu Yifei's other hand reached out, taking Lin Nan's right hand into her palm, "You definitely can."

At that moment, the host walked onto the stage again, opening a new card.

"The winner of the Golden Globe for Best Director: Linnan, 'Manchester by the Sea.' Congratulations!"

Lin Nan's mind went blank, and he felt some ringing in his ears.

Looking at Liu Liu Yifei, who was excitedly shaking his hand, he finally came to his senses; was it really him?

"Lin Nan, I knew you would definitely win. Quick, go quickly..."

Miss Liu was overjoyed, laughing until tears blurred her eyes.

Leonardo and the other two were equally ecstatic; this time, "Manchester by the Sea" was the big winner!

Lin Nan calmly stood up, cupped Liu Liu Yifei's face, and kissed her red lips; after a long while, they parted.

Under Liu's dazed, slightly shy, and coquettish expression, and amidst the roaring jeers of the entire venue, he walked toward the podium.

Taking the certificate and the Golden Globe trophy, Lin Nan let out a long sigh; looking at the hundreds, nearly a thousand people in the venue, he fixed his gaze on Liu Liu Yifei, whose face was flushed with red.

"Did I really win the Golden Globe Grand Prize?"

A single joke line caused the host to applaud repeatedly.

"Thank you to my fiancée, Crystal Liu—Liu Liu Yifei; she is also a very outstanding actress. We will get married this year; this Golden Globe trophy for Best Director shall be the first wedding gift I give her..."

Confessing one's love on the podium is truly a very romantic thing, no matter where it happens!

However, Miss Liu was no longer the young girl she used to be; she wouldn't cry her eyes out, but her eyes were still very red, and she glanced at Lin Nan with a coquettish and tsundere look, as if to say, "Your confession is getting more perfunctory; I'm not very satisfied..."

Three minutes later, Lin Nan walked off the stage.

He was the second Chinese-language film director to win the Golden Globe Grand Prize after many years!

"Here, count it as part of the betrothal gift."

"Dream on."

Liu Liu Yifei snatched the trophy and certificate, a tsundere smile on her face, her eyes filled with deep affection.

"It's complete; everyone has one."

Sitting there, Lin Nan felt much more relaxed. Although there was still the final award for Best Motion Picture Drama to look forward to.

But just twenty minutes later, that expectation was dashed.

The Best Motion Picture Musical or Comedy award was won by "The Grand Budapest Hotel"; while the Best Motion Picture Drama went to "Boyhood"!

By now, it was ten o'clock in the evening, and the 72nd Golden Globe Awards ceremony officially concluded, leaving only the final celebration dinner.

And with four wins out of six nominations, "Manchester by the Sea" was still one of the big winners!

In domestic time, it was already past one in the afternoon.

As the awards ceremony broadcast concluded, the entire film industry seemed to quake like an earthquake.

After 22 years, mainland filmmakers finally secured a second Golden Globe Award: Lin Nan's Golden Globe for Best Director!

Major media outlets, news websites, film channels... all were interrupting their programming with breaking news. Entertainment headlines and Weibo hot searches, without exception, were flooded and dominated by the dropped-in Golden Globe Award information.

"The 72nd Golden Globe Awards for Film and Television officially concluded half an hour ago.

Lin Dao Nan, with the film 'Manchester by the Sea', powerfully won four major awards: the Golden Globe for Best Director, Best Actor in a Drama Film, Best Actress in a Drama Film, and the Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actor, achieving four wins from six nominations!"

"In Lin Dao Nan's acceptance speech, only Liu Liu Yifei was mentioned; the Golden Globe trophy for Best Director was one of the wedding gifts..."

The boiling of the mainland film and television industry has only just begun.

No one can ignore the weight of a Golden Globe Award for Best Director!

The government, schools, associations... all major film and television companies, actors, artists, and directors within the industry... everyone was still somewhat dazed, caught off guard...
