The King of Huayu Science Fiction

Chapter 370
"The next one is Best Original Score for a Movie!"

"I don't know if I can take it."

"I'm sure I can. I've seen all the films nominated. Only "Uncle's Legacy" and "Colonel Ridley" soundtracks are not bad, but it's definitely not as good as "Gravity."

"You're so sure, why are you still biting your fingernails?"

"My affirmation is my confidence in "Gravity". If this award is not awarded to "Gravity", then there is nothing to participate in. I think Director Chen can leave directly."

"Good boy, do what you can."

"Ah! Got it, got it!"

"Damn! One blood!"

"Hahaha……"

"Is it recorded? Is it recorded?"

The large meeting room of DreamWorks was crowded with people, and the meeting room of more than 80 square meters was crowded. A large TV was placed on the cabinet against the wall in front of the long table. The chairs were all emptied, and only the long meeting table was difficult to move. move.

So some of the people in the front row sat or stood on the carpet, and the people in the back were divided into two rivers by the conference table, and some sat directly on the table.

Others crowded at the door.

There are people in the corridors.

Those who can see the TV screen are watching the screen, those in the back row, or those outside the door can't see it, it doesn't matter, take out their mobile phones, and watch the live broadcast together in groups of three or four.

Anyway, what we want is excitement and a sense of ceremony.

Of course, there are also those who watch the live broadcast comfortably on their computer monitors at their respective workstations.

The Golden Globes will be presented in the evening of US Western Time, which happens to be the morning of the next day in Huaguo, which is working time. Naturally, DreamWorks employees are fishing together to watch the live broadcast of the Golden Globes.

In addition to the employees of DreamWorks, the main creators of "Gravity" and "Matrix" joined in the fun. After all, these two films are the protagonists of this awards ceremony.

It is not only the Chinese people who care about the protagonist of this awards live broadcast, but also the audience on the other side of the ocean who care about the protagonist of this Golden Globe Awards, although these two films have not received many nominations.

The reason is also very simple, it is well-known and has a good reputation, and most people have seen it.

There are not many commercial films shortlisted for the Golden Globe Awards this year, and "Gravity" and "Matrix" are among the few shortlisted commercial films with the highest influence and reputation.

The vast majority of Americans are also lay people, otherwise how could there be voices calling for the Golden Globes and Oscars to open the door to super British films?

What made them cheer was that after waiting for nearly an hour, DreamWorks finally received its first award - the best original soundtrack for a movie.

Jiang Ming, the chief conductor and composer of the National Center for the Performing Arts Orchestra, took the stage to accept the award.

In fact, Chen Jingxing was deeply involved in the creation of the soundtrack of "Gravity", which was praised as "improving the whole movie by a point", "the soul of "Gravity", and even "the key inspiration". , the tune of the climax part was also provided by him, and then Jiang Ming and others in the orchestra made improvements and modifications on top of it.

But Chen Jingxing is not a person greedy for fame, or he is already famous enough, the so-called interlacing is like a mountain, a genius in movies is already a great talent, and if he is famous in music, he is a monstrosity.

In the modern society of information explosion, it is difficult to produce an all-rounder like Leonardo da Vinci.

What's more, music literacy is not easy to pretend, and it's hard to fake. Chen Jingxing is already a movie genius and a master of science fiction, so there's no need to add extra prestige to his reputation with unnecessary characters.

However, Jiang Ming still thanked Chen Jingxing in his speech.

"...Thanks to Director Chen Jingxing for the inspiration. Without Director Chen, we would never have been able to make such a piece of music...Thanks to Ms. Han Hong, her heavenly voice gave life to the music of "Gravity"..."

Even though Jiang Ming is well-informed, he is still very excited to stand on the podium.

Of course, the Golden Globes are not the Holy Grail of music, but they can't stand up to their big name and global fame.

Since the release of "Gravity", the performances of the National Center for the Performing Arts Orchestra have been sold out. For non-industry people, their reputation even surpasses that of the industry's biggest brother, the Huaguo Philharmonic Orchestra.

Of course, the must-play for every performance is "Gravity".

Invitations to performances not only in China, but also abroad, after this award, there must be more invitations.

Although it is very commercial and not elegant, it is definitely not as good as classical symphony performances in terms of style, but it can make money.

Moreover, the performance of "Gravity" does not prevent the Chinese Opera Orchestra from playing other pieces.

The release of the best soundtrack set off the first climax of the live broadcast. The TV screen connected to the live broadcast signal of Huanshi.com was full of words such as congratulations and well deserved.

Before the chatter of DreamWorks employees stopped, the awards for the best foreign language film came one after another.

This award is not of great importance to the Golden Globes, but it is very important to Chen Jingxing, DreamWorks and the Huaguo audience who pay attention to the live broadcast of the awards. The highest is the competition for the best foreign language film, not only in China, but also in other countries.

This is the strategic high ground that the English-speaking world occupies in the dissemination of film and television culture. It is the highest praise for foreign cultures like you that a non-English film can win the best foreign language film from me.

"...from Persia's 'Blackbeard'—

"Umbrellas of Edinburgh" from the UK——

from..."

Following the statements of the award presenters, clips of the shortlisted films appeared on the big screen one after another.

"—"Gravity"! Huaguo!"

"Fuck..."

Lu Hongzhe, the male protagonist of "Matrix", heard his agent's exclamation, and excitedly applauded along with the staff of DreamWorks, while turning his head to look at his agent: "What's wrong, Brother Cao? Look at your shocked expression." , haven’t you always said that “Gravity” is a great space movie?”

There was still a hint of disbelief in the manager's eyes, and he smiled wryly when he heard the words. He looked at Chen Jingxing who was hugging Qin Zhonghe and others on the TV screen, and said softly: "Greatness and winning awards are not the same thing..."

Among the five nominated films for the best foreign language film, "Gravity" is the only commercial film, and even the combined box office of the other four films is less than a fraction of the box office of "Gravity".

As the manager of the new star that DreamWorks single-handedly promoted, he is also very concerned about the nominations for this year's Golden Globe Awards and Oscars, and he has been immersed in the entertainment industry for many years, so he still has basic judgment.

Although the streets and alleys are cheering for the Golden Globe and Oscar nominations, he is actually worried about whether "Gravity" can win the best foreign language film, and even many film critics and senior movie fans are not optimistic.

The number one dream blower on the Internet, the C-station film and television UP host "Lycra Stars" made a special program to talk about the disadvantages of "Gravity" in the best foreign language film awards, and bluntly said that the possibility of "Gravity" failing is even greater. big.

Of course, in the eyes of many people, this is to save Chen Jingxing's character, but in the eyes of some film critics who are more familiar with the Golden Globes and Oscars, this is by no means a lie.

But I didn't expect that those four art films were really defeated by "Gravity".

Is "Gravity" really so powerful?Or is DreamWorks so powerful?
"Seeing that you are excited, it's not that you won the award..." After digesting the shock, the manager squinted at his artist whose face was flushed as if he was drunk, and couldn't laugh or cry.

Hearing this, Lu Hongzhe glanced at both sides, and leaned into the manager's ear with a sullen face, and said, "Isn't this the Oscar I'm looking forward to after? The Golden Globe Awards are such a big show, how can the Oscar be?"

As a film that has won five Oscar nominations, the Oscar Organizing Committee sent many invitations to "Matrix". Basically, the main creators can walk the red carpet and have their own seats in the theater.

It's not that Huaguo has no celebrities walking the Oscar red carpet, and even participating in the awards show, but they are basically invited by brands or other channels.

It has been more than ten years since I have been officially invited to participate in the Oscars with a work.

Lu Hongzhe, who is almost a newcomer, can achieve such an achievement in the first film, can he not be excited?Being able to take such a trip is quite a big plus for gathering fans, expanding business influence, receiving endorsements and fashion resources.

In fact, the manager knew this better than Lu Hongzhe. He smiled and sighed in his heart: "Never mind whether Chen Jingxing is supernatural or not, anyway, the DreamWorks ship will never come down. I heard that "Black Mirror II" has not yet been cast. Sure, otherwise..."

After best foreign language film, it's not as exciting as "The Matrix" for best screenplay.

The award recipients were Chen Jingxing and You Zuorong, head of the screenwriting team of "Matrix".

Chen Jingxing, who had already appeared on stage for the second time, did not need to thank his family, friends, and main creative personnel again. Instead, he took out a piece of paper, stared at the camera, and thanked in Chinese the six members of the "Matrix" scriptwriting team and All other screenwriters who participated in the discussion and perfected the "Matrix" script.

Including who mentioned what inspiration, and who made what contribution, they are all detailed.

Not only the guests in the audience were surprised by the simultaneous interpretation, but also the staff of DreamWorks were in an uproar.

Especially the screenwriters, even if they were not from the screenwriting team of the "Matrix" project, they all stared at the TV screen with red eyes.

Generally speaking, non-famous screenwriters like them are at the lowest end of the food chain, with meager returns from layers of outsourcing or hair-plucking, and writing scripts without authorship is the norm.

In a sense, it is not too different from the academic tutor system, or even worse.

Famous screenwriters or directors are mentors, and small screenwriters are the tools of the mentors. They work hard to provide inspiration for the "mentor" and even create most of the content of the script, but they may not be signed in the end.

Dreamworks is very generous in this regard, it will give everyone involved in the script creation, or even just give some kind of inspiration to the screenwriter's authorship, and even Chen Jingxing himself started not to sign the screenwriter in the later stage, just put in the script idea and it's over , the screenwriter's signature is a member of the project's screenwriting team.

Perhaps there is the idea that Chen Jingxing deserves to be ashamed, but in fact, the more important thing is that Chen Jingxing's "inspiration" will always run out one day. Screenwriters are the real precious wealth of DreamWorks, so he naturally has to treat his company's "wealth" well.

Because of this, usually the subtitle screenwriter column at the end of DreamWorks' film and television dramas is a long list of people.

It's just that he didn't expect Chen Jingxing to move this habit to the Golden Globe Awards stage where hundreds of millions of people around the world watch.

This of course moved the screenwriters very much, and also made some non-DreamWorks employees present in "Gravity" and "Matrix" feel that it is no wonder that DreamWorks can achieve today's achievements. No one can match.

After being moved, it soon came to the penultimate award of this year's Golden Globe Awards Gala - the Best Director Award.

It is also the most watched heavyweight award.

Whether at home or abroad.

It is a completely different concept for an ordinary literary film director and a commercial film director like Chen Jingxing to win the best director.

Influence is also quite different.

After a while, a deafening cheer sounded from the floor where DreamWorks was located.

Almost shook the entire office building.

On a certain floor downstairs, a man wearing glasses poked his head out from the cubicle and looked at the ceiling: "An earthquake?"

Soon someone said: "Oh, "Gravity" won the best director, Chen Jingxing won the best director, the best director of the Golden Globe Award."

It seems that there are a lot of people who go to work to fish and paddle, and the news has not been pushed in time. It must be the people who watch the live broadcast on their mobile phones in silence to know the first time.

The man in glasses clicked his tongue twice. They are also a film and television company, and they also do post-production of film and television dramas. Of course, they have long admired DreamWorks, which is in the same building. The staff of the two companies often meet, and even their own The company's employees jumped ship to DreamWorks.

"People are more popular than people, the gap between companies is bigger than the gap between people..."
