Full-time actor

Chapter 577 [4] Who is the winner of the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor?

"You are...too direct!"

Zhang Ziyi was talking to Chen Yu at the side, and Li An beside her was also smiling and patting Chen Yu on the shoulder: "There's no need to make such a fuss outside. We're all in the same circle, and we'll see each other sooner or later. It'll be hard to end it if things get too awkward!"

"I didn't argue with him. I was just being realistic. He got mad because of shame!"

Chen Yu straightened his clothes and smiled at the two of them.

He really wasn't angry, and there was no need to be angry. Instead, he was in a very good mood.

Others gave Chen Kaige face, and Chen Yu also gave it to him, but it was obviously not Chen Yu's style to be scolded by others without saying a word.

The key point is that Chen Kaige sued Chen Yu without any investigation, and Chen Yu didn't say anything, let alone say a bad word about him in front of the media. Now he is still not giving in. He is really shameless. Of course Chen Yu has to confront him.

Even a clay figure has some fiery temperament, let alone him.

"Is it really okay?"

Li An looked at Chen Yu, and Chen Yu smiled and said, "Really? I feel much better after saying that!"

It can be considered as a way to vent his anger. After all, Chen Kaige has been scolding him a lot in the media during this period, so Chen Yu just vented his anger.

"..."

Zhang Ziyi also shook her head speechlessly.

Obviously he couldn't understand Chen Yu's operation.

However, Chen Yu is indeed not afraid of Chen Kaige. After all, his box office success is there. Who in mainland China dares to say that their box office appeal is stronger than his?
The key point is that he has someone behind him, including the Central Academy of Drama!
After a while, Richard heard this and came over.

He asked Chen Yu, who waved his hand quickly: "It's okay, it's not as serious as you think. Let's go in!"

Chen Yu led the crew of "Departures" towards the Golden Globe Awards Hall.

Later on, there was the incident where Will Smith punched the host at the Oscars. So Chen Yu's popularity was nothing compared to that.

At most it will be on the front page of China tomorrow.

Given the current popularity of "The Promise" in China, it is hard to say how many people support Chen Yu.

This incident has no impact on Chen Yu at all, and Chen Kaige does not have the ability to ban him. At most, the two of them will never have any contact with each other again.

Chen Yu certainly didn't want to have any association with Chen Kaige, because all the movies he shot afterwards, without exception, were flops; except for co-produced movies, such as "Changjin Lake", which was co-produced by three directors, and it was not the result of his work alone.

The Volunteer Army was actually very defeated and had a bad reputation.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have gotten to the point where he could take on variety shows.

……

Soon, the 63rd American Film and Television Golden Globe Awards ceremony officially began.

Obviously, there are not as many big stars coming this year as there were last year. Last year, Jackie Chan, Nolan, Schwarzenegger, Sylvester Stallone, Leonardo DiCaprio and others were all there, but this year, as Chen Yu looked around, the big names were only the big directors Spielberg, Woody Allen, George Clooney, and Charlize Theron... Oh, and Captain Depp from Pirates of the Caribbean is here too.

But the starlight is obviously much dimmer than last year.

However, the live broadcast is still broadcast on more than 200 channels around the world, and its influence is still far-reaching.

Chen Kaige's "The Promise" crew was obviously sitting with Weinstein, a little distance away from Chen Yu's table, while Li An's "Brokeback Mountain" crew was next to him.

Zhang Ziyi and Stephen Chow were also quite far away, and this time Richard and Chen Yu sat at the same table.

It shows that his attitude is similar to Weinstein's.

Both of them have a say in the Golden Globe and the Oscars.

"OK, welcome everyone to the annual Golden Globe Awards ceremony. I'm your old friend Matthew!"

"I heard that there was some unpleasantness before the awards ceremony, but I think such a wonderful awards ceremony will definitely make you very happy, am I right, guys?"

Matthew, a famous American host, was joking.

"Oh oh oh~"

There was an immediate response from the entire audience.

Although Matthew didn't say who the person was, the lighting of the program crew was very playful and still called Chen Yu.

boom~!

Chen Yu smiled, made a shooting gesture, and said something softly, and the whole audience suddenly screamed.

Chen Kaige, who was not far away, obviously had a very unhappy expression on his face because the light also hit him, but he did not show any expression.

This is no joke, man.

Obviously still angry.

What Chen Yu said just now might have made Director Chen a little upset.

"Okay, let's get on with the awards ceremony tonight!"

"I think everyone should be looking forward to it. If you want to go to the bathroom, you have to go quickly, because after the real award ceremony begins, I can guarantee that you will not want to miss any exciting moments!"

Matthew made a face, and then after a burst of cheerful music, the first award was presented.

Best Original Song Award!

Brokeback Mountain was shortlisted for this one.

As expected, Brokeback Mountain was worthy of being the favorite for this year’s Golden Globe Awards, and with its location in the United States, it got off to a great start.

The first award was won by Brokeback Mountain.

Then, for the Best Original Score, Joe Hisaishi, the composer of "Departures", was nominated, but "Brokeback Mountain", "Memoirs of a Geisha", "King Kong" and "The Chronicles of Narnia" also have wonderful soundtracks.

"Memoirs of a Geisha"!
The film starring Zhang Ziyi won this award, and Joe Hisaishi missed it unfortunately.

"In the United States, there is still protection for local films!"

Chen Yu whispered to Richard beside him, and Richard shrugged: "Not necessarily. Every Golden Globe Award project needs public relations. Some pay less, some pay more. This soundtrack is also a very important award. For many composers, the quotes after winning and being shortlisted will be different!"

"And Spielberg will definitely go for it!"

"Memoirs of a Geisha" is a film supervised and produced by the great director Spielberg, who is also one of the investors.

With an investment of 8500 million US dollars, the final box office was 1.62 million, which was actually a loss.

Moreover, the global reputation was average and it did not take off. It was originally thought that it would take off in mainland China and Japan, that is, the Asian market, but it did not happen. An American found three Chinese people and made a Japanese movie, which was simply a weird thing and was not popular in any way.

It even failed the mainland review, resulting in a huge loss of market share.

Without Spielberg's reputation as the director of "Chicago", it is estimated that the global revenue would not even reach 1 million US dollars.

So for this reason, Spielberg must want to win a few awards to comfort his "wounded" heart; in the voting for the Golden Globe Awards, Spielberg obviously still has a certain say.

Soon, the Golden Globe Awards were presented one after another.

The Best Screenplay Award was still won by "Brokeback Mountain".

Best Actor and Best Actress in Television…Best Supporting Actor and Best Supporting Actress in Film, Best Actor in a Musical or Comedy, Best Actress in a Musical or Comedy…

Especially for the Best Actor in Musical or Comedy, the competition is much more intense than the Best Actor in Drama, for which Chen Yu was nominated. The main nominees are more famous than his.

Captain Depp needs no introduction.

Cillian Murphy, the future Oscar winner and the leading actor in Nolan's "Oppenheimer", is also among the nominees for Best Actor in this musical comedy category.

Coincidentally, there is another "clown".

A Joker better than Heath Ledger.

Joaquin Phoenix, the future leading actor of the independent film "Joker", was an actor Chen Yu liked very much in his previous life. He won the Oscar for Best Actor for "Joker", as well as the Toronto Film Festival, Cannes Film Festival and Venice Film Festival Best Actor.

He even won China's Golden Rooster Award and the Most Popular Actor Award abroad.

In his previous life, Chen Yu felt that he would definitely win the Golden Slam Best Actor award in the future, as his acting skills were indeed impeccable.

As for the Joker, he even surpassed the Heath Ledger's Joker version, which is regarded as a classic by countless movie fans; at the beginning, all the Joker's fans felt that no one could surpass Heath Ledger's version, but in Chen Yu's opinion, he did surpass it.

This kind of ability that surpasses the classics is indeed much more difficult than the classics themselves.

To give the simplest example, everyone thinks that Gu Tian Le played the role of Yang Guo well. There is a preconceived subjective consciousness behind this, and of course Gu Tian Le did play it well; so if later generations want to surpass him, or even reach the same level as him, the audience will feel that they are not as good as him.

You have to completely surpass him to be recognized.

It’s not that Heath Ledger’s Joker was bad, on the contrary, he is the best version of the Joker and has become a god.

But alas, Joaquin is stronger.

His Joker is a swan song.

In addition to the above three, this award also goes to the fifth-generation Bond Pierce Brosnan, Jeff Daniels from "The Martian"... and the last one is slightly less famous, Nathan Lane.

A total of six people were nominated for this award.

This also shows the difficulty of nomination, and it should be difficult for the judges to make a decision.

Sure enough, just as Chen Yu expected, Joaquin Phoenix had the last laugh in the end. He won the Best Actor in a Comedy or Musical award, and the audience gave him the warmest applause.

Deserved.

An actor with cleft lip and palate is naturally shorter than many other actors in appearance; but he managed to let audiences around the world see his acting skills beyond his looks.

Some people say that appearance is a disadvantage, and people will remember your performance.

If someone is too handsome, people may only focus on his looks and ignore his acting skills. This may be true to a certain extent, but in the film industry, it is much more difficult for an actor with average looks to qualify as a leading actor than one with handsome looks.

The applause lasted for a long time.

Joaquin was holding his Best Actor trophy, with tears in his eyes, as he gave his acceptance speech.

Many people don’t know that he has an older brother who was recognized worldwide in the 90s as a genius in acting. He was even hailed as a talented actor who could dominate the entire 90s. But like Heath Ledger, he died suddenly of a drug overdose at the age of 23.

River Phoenix!

At the age of 20, he won the Venice Film Festival Best Actor Award and was nominated for the Oscars for Best Supporting Actor and Best Actor.

Died younger than Heath Ledger.

In the future, Joaquin even named his child the same as his brother - River, in order to commemorate his brother who brought him into the industry.

"I want to thank my brother!"

"It was he who made me see the beauty of movies. Thank you!"

Joaquin spoke while crying, choking with sobs as he walked off the stage holding the trophy.

"Next, we're presenting the Best Actress in a Drama Series award!"

Felicity Huffman in Across America!

Desperate Housewives finally won the Best Actress crown.

Zhang Ziyi missed out on this award and a trace of regret appeared on her face, but this result was actually within her expectations. After all, each of the nominated actresses was more famous than the other, and it was indeed a very good result for her to be shortlisted.

After this award, Chen Yu was nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a Drama Series!
After this award, there are only four final awards left - Best Director, Best Foreign Language Film, and two Best Pictures in the drama and comedy musical categories.

"Let's take a look at the five movies nominated for Best Actor in a Drama at this year's Golden Globe Awards!"

"i wish i know how to quit you~~"

Heath Ledger appears in the shot.

This was of course a clip from Brokeback Mountain, and there was immediate warm applause from the audience.

……

“Bringing back the lost ones and giving them eternal beauty, this process is calm, delicate and gentle…”

"Witnessing every separation of life and death, soothing, perfect, deeply moved me..."

"I only wish you had been treated kindly by this world!"

Chen Yu's low, slow and magnetic voice was accompanied by his head bowed as he carefully prepared the body for burial.

The moment it was shown on the big screen, screams were heard in the venue.

……

The wonderful clips of each movie, along with the shots of several shortlisted male actors, were revealed to every audience member present.

To be honest, everyone’s acting is pretty good.

Even just this one shot in the trailer is a highlight of the acting skills of all the actors.

clap clap clap!
Amid the applause of the crowd, the person responsible for presenting the award was actually last year's Best Actor winner - Leonardo Dicaprio.

Chen Yu was just surprised that he actually came to the scene.

"Okay, pretty exciting times!"

“I saw a lot of familiar faces there, including my idol, David Strathairn!”

“I love his “The Big Blue Car”!”

"My man Heath Ledger, this role was supposed to be mine, haha!"

Leonardo DiCaprio suddenly laughed. At the beginning of Brokeback Mountain, it was indeed him who was chosen, but it was a pity that his status was too high.

"There is also a Chinese actor whom I admire—Chan!"

"I have watched House of Flying Daggers several times. It has some really exciting fight scenes!"

"..."

Dicaprio was holding an envelope for the Best Actor in a Drama Film. He introduced each person calmly, then tore it open slowly, and finally made a playful and slightly complicated expression.

“I think everyone should be looking forward to who this person is!”

Swish!
Little Li suddenly raised his head, looked in the direction of Chen Yu, and said word by word: "Heal Chan!"
