Full-time actor

Chapter 578 [5] Get another award!

heal chan!

When Leonardo Dicaprio said this name.

boom--

The whole audience burst into thunderous applause. Zhang Ziyi even stood up and clapped. Li An also looked in the direction of Chen Yu. Only Chen Kaige had a gloomy face. It was obvious that he was the one who hated to see Chen Yu win the award the most.

"..."

Chen Yu made a gesture of spreading his hands, then straightened his clothes and stood up.

At this moment, all the lights were focused on his head.

Today, after winning the Grand Slam Best Actor award, Chen Yu's temperament is undoubtedly much calmer than before. Even if he wins the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor, he can accept it with great calmness.

This is probably the inevitable experience for an actor to reach the pinnacle.

Winning the Golden Globe for being a Grand Slam actor is not a surprise, but just the icing on the cake; it is a recognition of his acting skills by the Golden Globe Awards organizers, not a surprise.

Fame, ability, public relations... When an actor's status reaches a certain level, the better his work, the higher the probability of winning an award.

The difficult part is the starting point and the accumulation. Now that Chen Yu has won the Best Actor award at the three major film festivals, any award is really possible for him.

"Thank you!"

Chen Yu held up the Golden Globe trophy and spoke fluent English: "Last year, I watched Director Zhang Yimou win the Best Director award from the audience. At that time, I was thinking, is it possible for me to win the Best Actor award?"

“I didn’t expect that this dream would come true so soon!”

"Thank you, director Yojiro Takita. Although I have thanked him enough, I still want to thank him for making such a profound movie. Death is an unavoidable topic for audiences around the world!"

"When I was filming this movie, I learned about the whole process of death and funeral from beginning to end. Thanks to the profession of actor, it made me experience everything in this world. This is a wonderful, complex and moving journey about life and death!"

"Thank you!"

Chen Yu bowed, then walked off the stage gracefully with the trophy.

clap clap clap!
There was applause and screams from the audience again. For the first time, Chen Yu was not as excited as when he won the Best Actor trophy. He seemed to have accepted the result calmly.

In fact, even if he didn't get it, Chen Yu would not have any regrets.

For a film like this, he really gave what he thought was his best performance; from professional experience, to getting into the role, to liberation, the filming scenes, the plot, and the story buried deep in his heart, were all interwoven into the current sequel.

At least, Chen Yu has a clear conscience.

"It's a pity that you didn't get to see this scene!"

After Chen Yu sat down, he said something in his heart.

A hunched figure seemed to appear before my eyes, an old figure who was lying meticulously in front of the corpse, quietly restoring the dead man's face.

He suddenly turned around without any hesitation: "Wire, backhand knife..."

During that time of working as a mortician, Chen Yu enjoyed the most extraordinary inner peace.

buzzing-

The vibration of the cell phone brought Chen Yu back to his senses from his thoughts.

"Hubby, congratulations!"

Where did Liu Yifei see this news? !
The time difference between the United States and China is exactly 12 hours. It should be around 9 o'clock in the morning. She should have just finished filming a few scenes. It is impossible to watch the live broadcast in the mountains.

As for the Golden Globe Awards, there are no channels broadcasting it in China, no reporters have been sent from China, and there is certainly no portal website to provide graphic and text coverage.

Liu Yifei is quite amazing.

"Thank you!"

"You are more informed than the media!"

Chen Yu thought Liu Yifei was just guessing, but he didn't expect Liu Yifei to laugh and say, "Are you curious? Where did I get this information?"

"Zhang Ziyi told you?"

"How is it possible? Why would she send me a message?"

Although the two people have contact information, it is limited to greeting each other during festivals and holidays, which is a plastic friendship in the entertainment industry.

Liu Yifei said playfully: "Guess again!"

"You can't guess. I'm not the worm in your stomach."

"You said before that it was the roundworm in my stomach?"

Are you taking this man's joke seriously?

Chen Yu really thought about it seriously and looked at the many people present: "Master Xing?"

It should not be.

“Tieba, there’s someone live streaming on Tieba, I saw it!”

Chen Yu: "..."

"You're already on Tieba?"

Chen Yu simply couldn't connect Liu Yifei with the surfing girl.

In his opinion, this was an old antique who couldn't even install applications on a Nokia Symbian smartphone; although she had started playing with computers very early, she didn't understand a lot of basic knowledge and often mocked herself as a computer idiot.

I really don’t understand, mainly because I don’t want to study it and I’m not interested in it.

Chen Yu was quite surprised that he was willing to risk his life just to watch his own live broadcast.

"What you said is true. I often visit your forum, okay?"

"Did anyone scold me?"

"Yes, every day, and some people even call you Chen Gou, hahahaha!"

The last time Liu Yifei saw the words "Chen Gou", she almost couldn't hold back, because the person who posted it seemed to be her fan.

"Chen Gou..."

Of course Chen Yu was not angry. He had actually heard this nickname many times. Ji Qiannan even asked him if he wanted to do some public relations. On the contrary, Chen Yu thought the nickname was acceptable.

A real actor can accept the ridicule of netizens. To Chen Yu, what happened with Chen Kaige is like a wake-up call.

If you can't even accept the word "Chen Gou", won't you be even more unable to bear it when evil beasts take over in the future?
While chatting with Liu Yifei.

The Best Director award at the 63rd Golden Globe Awards has also been officially announced.

In his home hoops in the United States, Li An once again defeated Yojiro Takita, director of "Departures", Spielberg of "Munich", Woody Allen of "Match Point", George Clooney of "Good Night, and Good Luck", Peter Jackson of "King Kong" and "The Lord of the Rings" series, and Fernando Meirelles, the Oscar-winning director two years ago and future chief director of the Rio Olympics, and won the Best Director trophy.

The competition for this award is too fierce.

After all, except for the popular "Departures", the other six shortlisted directors are all well-known directors in the industry.

Li An lives up to his reputation as the pride of Chinese people.

"Brokeback Mountain" swept the Golden Globe Awards this time and has won three major awards.

It was also nominated for the Best Picture - Drama award.

"Congratulations, Director Li!"

Chen Yu stood up and gave Li An a big hug, watching him go on stage to receive the award and give his acceptance speech. This was actually his second time to receive this award.

The last time was "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", which also swept the Golden Globes that year, but this is his fifth time to be nominated. Starting from "The Wedding Banquet" and "Eat Drink Man Woman", he has always been a favorite of the Golden Globe Awards!

Currently in the Chinese film and television industry, Li An’s status is indeed higher than Zhang Yimou’s.

"Chan, I heard you collaborated with Ang Lee on a film?"

Richard listened to Li An's acceptance speech and asked Chen Yu.

Chen Yu nodded: "Yes, Bruce Lee, I'm working on the script recently!"

"What about the investors? Is there any Hollywood Pictures?"

"Yes, New Line, and I, Li An, from Hong Kong's Golden Harvest!"

“This movie will definitely be a hit!”

Richard couldn't help but say.

Just think about this lineup + IP and it's dreamy enough, the influence of Bruce Lee in Asia, plus the fame of Li An and Chen Yu, and Hollywood also has its own popularity.

"It's hard to say until it's released. We still have to wait and see what the script says!"

"Well, but Ang Lee's control over the script is pretty good. Filming with oriental characteristics has always been his forte!"

When it comes to mainstream Hollywood commercial blockbusters, Li An is indeed far behind.

For example, "The Incredible Hulk", as well as the future "Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk" and "Gemini Man", all of them were flops.

As the two chatted, Li An walked off the stage in a reserved manner amid the cheers of the crowd.

Next, here are the three big things about the Golden Globe Awards.

Best Foreign Language Film, Best Comedy Musical, Best Drama Film.

The first award to be presented is, of course, the Best Foreign Language Film.

This year, for the first time ever, three Chinese films were shortlisted. "Departures" was included because it was a co-production between China and Japan. There are also "Kung Fu" and "The Promise". No wonder the mainland media boasted that Chinese films have already risen.

Looking at this momentum, they have been shortlisted for the top three in all of the American awards. Isn’t this a rise?
Chen Yu could only look on and smile.

Whether it has risen or not, don’t you media outlets have any idea?
To cover up the truth and steal the bell, we still have to look at domestic journalism.

It can be seen that both Stephen Chow and Chen Kaige have some hope for this award; especially Director Chen, he has always believed that there is no problem with the movies he made, and that the domestic appreciation level is low, so foreigners must have this ability.

After all, they have high tastes and they were the first to have film art, so Chen Kaige sat there, still retaining his fantasies and even with a hint of self-confidence.

"Departures", "Kung Fu", "The Promise", "Merry Christmas" (France), "Heaven at This Moment" (Palestine), "Gangster" (South Africa)!
A total of six films were shortlisted for this award.

"Departures!"

When the famous director Spielberg, who was in charge of presenting the awards, said the English title of the film, "Departures", everyone at Chen Yu's table stood up apparently.

Chen Kaige looked at Chen Yu in astonishment, his cheeks puffed up, and then he clenched his fists involuntarily.

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!
Stephen Chow clapped his hands, and everyone looked at the main creators of "Departures" and smiled back.

Although it lost many awards, the fact that "Departures" won the Best Actor and Best Foreign Language Film awards is enough to show how outstanding this movie is.

His films are more delicate and touching than those in his previous lives.

Chen Yu's acting skills added a lot of points to this movie.

All the main creators of "Departures" stepped onto the podium, each of them had a smile on their face, and Yojiro Takita was so excited that his eyes were filled with tears; you know, before this, he was just a second-rate director in Japan, not even a first-rate one.

At that time, Chen Yu was already very famous in Asia, but they actually found him and asked him to be the chief director of this film; and during the filming, they also respected many of his ideas.

It can be said that Chen Yu is Yojiro Takita's mentor.

Moreover, such an actor also won the respect of the entire crew. He did not have any arrogance or attitude of a big-name actor. On the contrary, he made a lot of sacrifices for this role.

"Yu Jun, you'll be the one to speak, right?"

Yojiro Takita choked up and tried his best to be humble on the stage, wanting Chen Yu to give his acceptance speech.

Chen Yu quickly invited him to be the representative, and everyone pushed him to the front of the stage.

"..."

Finally, Yojiro Takita bowed to everyone in the audience.

He really came prepared.

He actually prepared a speech to accept the award.

Wiping the crystal from the corners of his eyes, Takida said in Japanese-accented English: "I really didn't expect to win an award. When I won the award in Venice before, I didn't expect it at all, so I didn't prepare any speech!"

"But this time, I suddenly gained some confidence. This should be the courage that Yu Jun gave me!"

Yojiro Takita took a deep breath and suddenly looked at the many foreigners present: "I started out by shooting pink movies. I only had a dream of making movies since I was a child. It took me 20 years to gain mainstream recognition!"

It is no secret in Japan that Takita shoots pink, and it has been exposed a long time ago.

But many filmmakers in the audience gave him applause in support.

Compared to professional students and big directors, such a background is undoubtedly a plus; an inspirational and difficult past can always win the favor of anyone in the world.

This has nothing to do with race, nationality or skin color.

"One day in 04, a somewhat depressed Motoki-kun found me and showed me a novel!"

"That's the original work of 'Departures', 'The Coffin Man's Diary'. I was moved by this novel and spent three days reading it. Then I found Motoki-kun again, and he told me the story of how he and Yu-kun met!"

"Yu Jun——"

Takida smiled at Chen Yu who was standing beside him: "He also took a fancy to this story. The two of them wanted to find me to film this story. I was really surprised at the time, because there are many well-known directors in China and Japan. With Yujun's fame at the time, he could definitely find a big director!"

"Why did you choose me?"

"I will always remember what Yujun said to me when I first met him: I am the director he was looking for!"

"There is an old Chinese saying that goes, 'A scholar will die for his friend.' I felt Yujun's respect for me, and I also felt his respect for the film as an actor. I filmed this film with him with great trepidation, but in fact I thought too much!"

"He's not as hard to contact as anyone imagines!"

"In order to play this role well, Yu Jun experienced the life of an undertaker for more than a month, sleeping in a coffin and dealing with corpses. He said that during this month, he developed a very different respect and perspective on life!"

"So, we have this movie 'Departures', and he also gave the most exquisite performance in it!"

"My contribution to this film is just directing it. The real soul is Yujun. He gave this work a different artistic core. He showed me an actor's dedication and humility to his work!"

"Compared to the halo around him, I admire his attitude on the set more. It's worth learning for any actor!"

"Thank you!"

Yojiro Takita bowed again, and Chen Yu felt a little embarrassed.

This prepared speech is all about praising yourself?

The key point is that the foreigners were very satisfied with what he said and they all applauded; if it hadn't been for what happened before the Golden Globe Awards, many people would probably agree with what Takida said, but now, they have reservations.

Maybe Chen Yu is very dedicated when filming, but outside of the play, he has a different side of himself.
