Chapter 275: Repeated

The Golden Globe Awards ceremony generally starts at 5:00 PM, also known as the awards dinner. The same crew sits around a table, with snacks, wine, and drinks. This point is much more humane than the Oscars.

Due to the reason of enhancing its own influence, since 2003, the Golden Globe Awards have been fixed to be held in mid-January every year to show the difference from the Oscar awards ceremony held in late February.

At 2:00 PM on January 16th, U. S. Western Time, the red carpet ceremony of the 63rd Golden Globe Awards for film and television officially kicked off.

In front of the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles, media reporters from all walks of life had already set up their positions, looking forward to finding enough material and hotspots for tomorrow's news.

Many domestic media came this time. Not only online media like the three major portals, but even many traditional media came, and CCTV also specially sent a group over.

It is very rare for so many Chinese directors and actors to be nominated for the Golden Globe Awards this time, so domestic media certainly attach great importance to it.

No matter the size of the film festival, as long as there is a red carpet, the most eye-catching ones are always the actresses.

This time it happened to coincide with "Martin Luther King Jr. Day." Against a black background, many women chose white-toned clothing, which, while not losing simplicity and solemnity, could also stand out better.

Like Keira Knightley, Emma Thompson, Felicity Huffman, etc., all are like this.

There are also actresses who chose black clothing. Charlize Theron wore a black perspective gown, and her aura was very strong.

Natalie Portman also wore a black low-cut gown, but it was not as transparent as Charlize Theron's.

There are also those who do not wear white or black gowns to highlight their personality.

Scarlett Johansson wore a bright red low-cut cinched-waist gown. Her balls were already big, and wearing it like this, the two spherical objects looked even bigger.

Zhang Ziyi was even bolder.

She was the only female guest in the audience wearing a yellow strapless gown.

Compared to the almost frontal full-nude belly-band outfit on the Berlin podium a few years ago, she is actually very conservative this time.

Zhang Ziyi is a person who is very good at marketing and can also let go of her face. It is estimated that she weighed it before wearing this set of clothes.

"Martin Luther King Jr. Day" is something she knew about long ago. She might have calculated that everyone would wear plain-colored clothes, so she came with a more personalized one, wanting to grab the hotspot.

If you want to say who needs the Golden Globe Awards most urgently tonight, Zhang Ziyi is definitely the one who wants it most.

She was nominated for Best Actress – Motion Picture Drama for "Memoirs of a Geisha." A Golden Globe Best Actress is still considered to have some status in the country.

Among the five people of the four great Qingyi in the country, four of them are either Cannes Best Actress, Berlin Best Actress, or Venice Best Actress, and what she can take out now is the Hundred Flowers Best Actress!

Since Dong Xuan won the Venice Best Actress for "Black Swan," Zhang Ziyi has been mocked by netizens.

Doesn't she want to win an influential international Best Actress?

Of course not!

But how could the European three major Best Actress awards be so easy to win? It is very, very difficult, okay?

Didn't you see that only a handful of people in all of Asia have won the European three major Best Actress awards?

Well, almost all of them are Chinese.

To be specific, those who have won the European three major Best Actress awards in recent years, except for one Maggie Cheung, are all people from the four great Qingyi in the country.

Zhang Ziyi really, really wants to win the Golden Globe Best Actress tonight. At least this is also an international award with good influence.

At five o'clock, the awards ceremony officially began.

Cao Yang sat with the people from the "Zhu Nuo" crew.

The director of "Zhu Nuo" is named Jason Reitman. Before filming "Zhu Nuo," he had only directed one failed film, a small fry.

The lead actress of "Zhu Nuo" is even a pure newcomer who had never filmed a movie before.

However, Cao Yang knows this person; her fame in later generations is very high, she has won Venice Best Actress, Golden Globe Best Actress, and twice won the Oscar for Best Actress, and is known as Stone Sister in the country.

That's right, the lead actress chosen by Fox Searchlight is the famous Stone Sister, Emma Stone.

She was born in 1988 and was not yet sixteen when filming "Zhu Nuo," which just met the requirements of the role.

The first award presented today is still Best Supporting Actor in a film. The presenters are Adrien Brody and Natalie Portman.

The winner of Best Supporting Actor is George Clooney. This is his first time winning a personal award with some weight in the U. S.

So he was still very excited and opened his mouth to tell a yellow joke mocking Washington bribers.

While George Clooney was telling the yellow joke and the guests were applauding and laughing, Cao Yang felt a tightness on his leg.

Cao Yang turned his head calmly and saw Stone Sister looking at him.

He is familiar with this.

With his fame getting bigger and bigger in recent years, and his influence getting bigger and bigger, the temptations he has received are countless.

He has seen almost all kinds of tricks.

Even the kind that looks very bloody in TV dramas, where the woman turns around at a banquet and accidentally spills red wine on herself, or accidentally trips and falls right into his arms, he has encountered them.

Cao Yang looked down, and as he expected, Emma Stone had taken off her shoes at some point and was rubbing her little feet on his leg from time to time.

I have to say, the entertainment industry all over the world is almost the same.

"I'm not interested in those under eighteen."

Cao Yang said in a low voice with a smile while clapping.

He is still very cautious.

Eighteen is a hurdle.

Although some places stipulate that sixteen is fine, if it is exposed and spreads to the country, it will be very troublesome.

This is the U. S.; who knows if someone will set a trap? He holds so many novel copyrights in his hands. For the sake of these copyrights, if some people fail to cooperate, they might really use means to force him to submit.

What's more, Stone Sister and Big Cousin are best friends; in the future, the two can play very wildly.

In short, stick to principles and be cautious.

Do not touch anyone under eighteen.

Adults are fine; he is not married, so as long as it is not forced, it doesn't matter even if it is exposed.

After presenting Best Supporting Actress, it was a series of television awards.

Then, Depp went on stage, preparing to present the Best Actress – Motion Picture Musical or Comedy award.

The film awards of the Golden Globes are divided into Musical/Comedy and Drama, each with separate Best Picture, Best Actor, and Best Actress.

While Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress, Best Original Score, Best Original Song, and Best Foreign Language Film are not classified.

That is to say, every Golden Globe Awards will have two Best Pictures, two Best Actors, and two Best Actresses.

"Zhu Nuo" was classified into Musical/Comedy, and the nominations received were Best Picture – Musical or Comedy, Best Actress – Musical or Comedy, and Best Screenplay (unclassified).

Seeing Depp about to present Best Actress – Musical or Comedy, Emma Stone became nervous.

She is considered very lucky; her first film was nominated for Golden Globe Best Actress – Musical or Comedy, which is considered an instant fame.

If she is lucky enough to win the Golden Globe Best Actress, she could skyrocket like a rocket and become a hot big star in Hollywood.

"The winner of Best Actress – Musical or Comedy is..."

Depp opened the envelope and didn't rush to read the name, but shrugged his shoulders before saying: "Reese Witherspoon, 'Walk the Line'."

Cao Yang understands Depp. Don't think that he might feel his shrugging is normal behavior, but Cao Yang knows he regrets that "Zhu Nuo" didn't win this award.

Emma Stone was very depressed; the pie that fell from the sky didn't hit her head.

Next was another series of television awards.

The Golden Globes are like this; at the beginning, they present a film award to warm up the scene, and then they present many television awards one after another. At this time, some people who want to watch film awards may have become impatient.

Therefore, they will present a major film award to buffer, and then it will be television awards again, until almost all television awards are presented, leaving only the film ones.

Amidst a burst of applause and cheers, Eastwood went on stage.

Eastwood lost to Cao Yang for Best Director at the Oscars last year, but he defeated Cao Yang and Martin Scorsese at the Golden Globes and won Best Director.

According to the rules, this year's Best Director should be presented by Eastwood, while Best Screenplay should be presented by Cao Yang, who won this award last year.

And this year Cao Yang was nominated for Best Screenplay again, so he and Eastwood swapped, letting Eastwood present Best Screenplay.

Eastwood waited for the applause to stop and said to the microphone: "I was last year's Best Director, and I was full of expectations to present this year's Best Director."

"Who knew that a certain guy doesn't follow the rules? After winning Best Screenplay last year, he was nominated for Best Screenplay again this year. You can't let him hold the envelope and read his own name no matter who is written on it, right?"

Haha...

The guests below laughed in cooperation, and the camera gave Cao Yang a real-time shot, putting him on the big screen.

"Is Eastwood talking about Cao Yang? Did he win the Golden Globe for Best Screenplay last year?"

Chen asked his wife next to him while clapping.

"His 'District 9' won two major awards at the Golden Globes last year, Best Actor – Drama and Best Screenplay. You were busy with 'The Promise' at the time, so you might not be very clear."

Hong said softly.

Chen nodded lightly, suddenly said "Eh," thought of something, and hurriedly asked Chen Hong:

"I remember Cao Yang's first film in Hollywood, 'Milk,' also won the Golden Globe for Best Screenplay, right?"

Sister Hong thought for a moment, shook her head, and said:

"I only remember his 'Milk' swept the Oscars, with ten nominations, winning five major awards: Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor, Best Cinematography, and Best Original Screenplay. As for the Golden Globes, I don't remember."

Chen looked up at Cao Yang's direction with a complex expression. He remembered that Cao Yang's "Milk" seemed to have won the Golden Globe for Best Screenplay.

That is to say, if he remembered correctly, Cao Yang had already won Best Screenplay at the Golden Globes for two consecutive years.

This time he was nominated for this award again. If he could win, that should be able to create history, right?

Although the higher Cao Yang's achievements, he was a little jealous while feeling gratified, but he still hoped that Cao Yang could achieve greater achievements.

Let's look forward to him creating history.

Eastwood teased Cao Yang and said again: "I appreciate Cao Yang very much. He is a genius, a person with extreme talent, a... well, I'm at a loss for words. I'm old and not very good at flattering people."

"In short, let's open the award. The nominees for Best Screenplay are:"

Woody Allen "Match Point," George Clooney and Grant Heslov "Good Night, and Good Luck," Paul Haggis and Bobby Moresco "Crash," Larry McMurtry and Diana Ossana "Brokeback Mountain," Cao Yang "Zhu Nuo."

"The winner is..."

Eastwood opened the envelope, took a look, took another look, went "Wow," and said softly to the microphone: "Cao Yang, 'Zhu Nuo'."
