This director needs to apologize

Chapter 176 Tony is cute
The red carpet of the Golden Globe Awards is much more gorgeous than other award shows, even more than the Cannes Film Festival.

Because the number of people has doubled.

The participation of many stars in the TV industry has allowed Chen Yiming to see more fancy costumes.It has to be said that compared to the conservative old Europe, the style of nut stars is more bold and aggressive.

Vacuum and see-through are trivial. The one who walked in front of Chen Yiming and the others was from an unknown TV series crew. The leading actress's clothes were just two sheets, with only a symbolic high waist design added to the armpits.

Then, as the fragrance floated, two huge buttocks were looming under his nose, which made Chen Yiming, who strictly abides by the law of "seeing no evil", struggle in his heart.

Chen Yiming couldn't help but sigh, it's a pity that Paul didn't come, otherwise wouldn't this be the scenery he dreamed of?

It’s also interesting to say that most of the members of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association are photographers, but the Golden Globe itself refuses to set up a Best Cinematography Award. I don’t know if it’s because of the repulsion among peers.

As for why there are many photographers in the Journalists Association, we have to mention the hardships of foreign journalists in Nuts.

As we all know, journalists’ main income comes from manuscript fees, and within the manuscript fees, the compensation for photos and videos is significantly higher than for text.

Therefore, many foreign media reporters who were stationed in Nuts earlier were self-taught and developed first-hand photography skills in order to make more money.

Of course, today's association members no longer look down on the small amount of money they can make from selling words and movies. After all, the annual public relations fees from Hollywood studios alone are enough to make their mouths water.

"1951", which is operated with the help of Warner, is also unavoidable. Chen Yiming is not sure about the specific situation, but according to Sister Shen's words, there is always a six-figure public relations fee.

This is still a small amount, because Warner only focused on public relations for Best Foreign Language Film at the Golden Globe Awards. "1951" has almost no rivals in this award, so it only needs to maintain public relations to ensure that the judges do not make mistakes.

As for the other nominations, since there was no one he was determined to win for Best Cinematography, Chen Yiming made it clear to Warner Bros. to just let it go.

Chen Yiming, who was in a state of wandering around the world, successfully got rid of the "visual collision" in front of him and walked smoothly through the red carpet.

After dealing with the female host with some talk, the four members of the "1951" crew entered the awards venue.

Compared with the Oscars in the performance format, the Golden Globe Awards in the dinner format are much more free.

"1951" originally shared a round table with "Westward", but not long after Chen Yiming sat down, an old acquaintance sat down next to him with a smile. It was Chen Yiming's actor Tony Tarantino.

So Xiao Liu, who came back from going to the bathroom, was very sad. His seat was occupied and he didn't know what to do.

Tony nonchalantly directed Liu Dongjun to carry his chair over and add a seat directly to the round table of "1951".

The nine people sitting around this round table, the Cole brothers, the directors of "Go West", are two suspected autistic people. Chen Yiming has experienced more than a dozen award ceremonies with them, but they have not said a few words.

The male protagonist of the film, Jeremy Bridge, is a serious-faced old man who also cherishes his words like gold.

On the other hand, the male supporting actor Medivh Delmon is a funny guy. At past awards ceremonies, Chen Yiming got along very well with him and even gave him a cute Chinese name.

So Chen Yiming asked Duimeng to change seats and come over to chat with Tony.

Dai Meng also brought over the little girl from the same group, the nominee for Best Supporting Actress, 15-year-old Halle Field.

Chen Yiming introduced Duan Yining, who was also nominated for Best Supporting Actor, to Dai Meng, and then introduced his best friend Da Zhuang.

Everyone suddenly became acquainted with each other a lot. Tony brought all the evenly distributed snacks together, and several people moved their seats closer together to eat and chat.

Chen Yiming first taunted, "Tony, why are you here? I didn't hear that you have any works this year. Are you here to enjoy the red carpet?"

Tony smiled evilly and said, "I suggest you reorganize your wording. Last year's Best Director winner was me. Guess who will be on stage to present the Best Director award later?"

Chen Yiming screamed in his heart, knowing that no matter whether he won the award or not, he would inevitably be dealt with. Tony, this guy, would definitely not let him go.

So Chen Yiming was stunned and changed the subject like a normal person, "Last year your World War II movie was a huge hit. It was said that it won 200 awards around the world. Come and teach us your experience. How did you end up with those terrible cold dishes?"

Tony laughed, "Chen, it's useless for you to compliment me, your best director has flown away, I said so."

Daimeng asked, "Tony, I heard about the project you are preparing, a story about a German doctor who comes to Nut to rescue black slaves. Now I also got a similar script, in which a Westerner helps the locals resist monsters in the East. Invasion.

I'm especially interested in how you deal with cultural conflicts when you're conceiving the script. "

This topic attracted Tony's attention. After thinking for a moment, he said, "I'm afraid it just looks the same. I don't think there is any comparison between the two.

You know, Tony is unique, and the audience recognizes that uniqueness before they even enter the theater.

I suggest you consult Chen, he is a true Oriental. "

Dai Meng shrugged angrily, "You guys made an appointment, right? Of course I asked Chen, and he asked me to ask you."

Tony smiled and looked at Chen Yiming, "Chen, what do you think of that idea, the Western savior who saves the Eastern Kingdom?"

Chen Yiming also spread his hands and shrugged, "I think this idea is terrible. If you want to eat everything, you will probably not be able to eat either side.

I told Dai Meng not to rush into signing the contract, but to find out who the director is.If it is a Hollywood director, this project can still be saved. If the producer plans to find a Chinese director, it is strongly recommended to retreat quickly to save his life. "

Tony looked weird, "Are you saying the opposite?"

Chen Yiming shook his head, "Nothing wrong. This story just borrows Eastern elements, and the core is still Hollywood. If a Chinese director can't do this, the film will definitely be nondescript."

He turned to Dai Meng and said, "Using Hollywood narratives to tell Eastern stories, Disney and DreamWorks have great success examples, but they don't have an expert from the East to provide behind-the-scenes guidance. You know, Chinese people are used to Hollywood logic, and Nut people don’t care about Chinese logic at all.”

Tony interrupted with a smile, "Chen, can't you do the same? When I watched "1951", I didn't feel that there was any unique Chinese logic in it."

Dai Meng nodded in agreement, "I have encouraged Chen a long time ago, but it's a pity that he is not interested."

Chen Yiming shook his head like a rattle, "Forget it. If I want to beat the monster, I can make one myself. I don't have to interfere with other people's projects.

I stand with Tony in this regard. A director is first and foremost a writer. If the writer's writing is controlled by someone else, then what fun is there for the director?

By the way, Teacher Tony, I also have a question for you.

How do you get through the period of burnout after making a movie?I'm very bored right now, but damn, I don't want to move on to the next piece of work right away. "

Before Tony could say anything, Daimeng complained first.

"Xie Te, I hate this topic. You make me envious and jealous. Do you think you can be arrogant if you have the ability to create?

MING, listen to me, go buy, buy, buy whatever you want. Spend all your savings and you will naturally have the motivation to start work. "

Tony laughed after hearing this, but after laughing, he still gave Chen Yiming a suggestion.

"I served as a judge for a year last year, first at Sundance and then at Cannes. Man, my experience tells me that after reading countless films, you will naturally get out of burnout."

Chen Yiming's eyes lit up at first, thinking that he should be qualified to be a judge now.

But then, he remembered the fear he had when he attended two film festivals before and was dominated by "The Void" and "Salome".

He shuddered, shook his head fiercely and said, "I will never be a judge. I will never be a judge in this life!"

Just when Dai Meng and Tony looked puzzled, the female host came on stage and the award ceremony was about to begin.

Everyone pulled away the chairs that were bunched together and sat upright to get into the mood, because from this moment on, the live camera would be covered if they disagreed.

There are so many awards at the Golden Globe Awards, including 25 for movies and TV shows, so it’s not fast enough.

As usual, the small awards are given first to warm up the show. After the three awards for original music, film songs, and cartoons are awarded, the fourth one is the best foreign language film.

So far in the awards season, "1951" has only failed once in any awards ceremony for best foreign language film.

The Golden Globes judges did not hesitate, and the guest comedian Bill Hamel said "1951" as he wished.

Chen Yiming clapped his hands and signaled Da Zhuang to come on stage.

Mr. Ma stood up excitedly and hugged the nine people at the round table one by one, ignoring the helpless expressions on brother Cole's face and the disgust on little girl Harley's face.

When Da Zhuang gave his acceptance speech, Lao Duan complained in Chen Yiming's ear, "This kid kept muttering on the way here, saying that the Golden Horse Award is a dog's eyes on others. If he wins the Golden Globe this time, he will definitely not win again." I’m really worried about it.”

After the awards for foreign language films, there was a long list of awards for comedy, musical films and TV series. Chen Yiming clapped mechanically throughout the whole process, feeling like his body was about to be hollowed out.

I finally waited until the drama awards were announced, and the result was two sticks.

Best Supporting Actor, Lao Duan and Cute both lose, Best Actor in Drama, Xiao Liu is undoubtedly cannon fodder.

The next award was for Best Director. Tony walked out of the backstage with a smile, opened the envelope in his hand, and started to play a talk show.

“Before the awards ceremony, I had a face-to-face chat with the five nominated directors.

Old Tom was as unfazed as the king, but he stuttered nervously when he opened his mouth.

David didn't want to talk to me at all. He just wanted to get the award and go back to work on his career.

Darren is a proud artist and he even just showed me his Adam's apple.

Danny gushes at me, but I know he just wants to show off, and look, my hand is intact. "

The whole room burst into laughter, and it was obvious that everyone understood the meaning behind Tony's words.

Then, Chen Yiming saw Tony looking towards him with his iconic protruding chin.

"Oh, I almost forgot, there is also my dear MING.

I didn't want to mention him at first, because chatting with him was not pleasant. Every time I finished a sentence, he would yell NG at me. "

Chen Yiming knew that the live broadcast camera would definitely glare at him, so he forcibly suppressed the urge to complain, and just clapped with a smile amidst the boos and whistles in the audience.

When the laughter stopped, Tony returned to the topic, unfolded the envelope again, leaned close to the microphone and announced.

"The winner of the 68th Golden Globe Award for Best Director, "1951", Yiming-Chen."
