Chapter 446 Golden Globe Award for Best Director
Matt Damon and Leonardo DiCaprio sat upright because it was finally time to present the Best Actor in a Drama Award.

Both of them were nominated. Matt Damon was nominated for the Best Actor Award at this year's Golden Globe Awards for his leading role in "The Wolf of Wall Street", and Leo was nominated for the Best Actor Award at this year's Golden Globe Awards for his leading role in "The Road".

Wang Shu thinks that if Matt Damon can win the award, he will at least kowtow to Leo.

Therefore, if he had not appeared, the role of the male protagonist in "The Wolf of Wall Street" would have been played by Leonardo DiCaprio in the original timeline.

The award presenter on the stage opened the envelope and announced loudly: "The winner of this year's Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a Drama is Mickey Rourke for The Wrestler."

Even with the addition of Matt Damon, the final winner of the Best Actor Award remained unchanged, and was still won by Mickey Rourke.

Mickey Rourke has been in the industry for 30 years and is considered a senior figure in the Hollywood industry.

However, as an American actor, Mickey Rourke, like many American actors, does not have outstanding acting skills.

The reason why he was able to win the award for "Dangal" this time, besides having the qualifications, was also because he had a great advantage by acting in his true self.

Mickey Rourke was originally a boxer. He got an acting opportunity by chance and then changed his career to become an actor.

The leading role of "The Wrestler" was originally scheduled to be played by Nicolas Cage, and he also went to watch the events held by the Independent Wrestling Alliance in New York to prepare for the role.

But later on, due to some reasons, I quit the show.

After Nicolas Cage dropped out of the role, the role went to Mickey Rourke.

Moreover, the release date of this movie is on January 2009, 1.

Currently, it has not yet been released in theaters.

However, like The Wolf of Wall Street, it was screened in advance at the Academy on December 2008, 12 in order to compete for the Academy Awards.

As long as it premieres at the Academy before New Year's Day, it will be eligible to compete for the Academy Awards.

"The Wolf of Wall Street" is not as outrageous as "The Wrestler" and was stuck premiering at the Academy on the last day of 08.

"The Wolf of Wall Street" will at least have premiered at the Academy in late December, meeting the requirements to compete for the Academy Awards, and then be released in early January.

As Mickey Rourke's name was announced, the award ceremony broke out into warm applause.

Although Leonardo DiCaprio and Matt Damon were also applauding, Wang Shu knew that they must be extremely disappointed.

After all, although the Golden Globe Awards are not as good as the Academy Awards, it is still the second most important award in Hollywood after the Oscars.

This award is also not easy to obtain and is also a very prestigious honor.

After being disappointed, Matt Damon looked back at Wang Shu and said with a forced smile: "It's up to you from now on."

In this year's Golden Globe Awards, only two awards are definitely related to Wang Shu.

One was nominated for Best Screenplay for "The Tuner" and the other was nominated for Best Director for "The Wolf of Wall Street".

The former has already received the award, and the latter will be awarded soon.

It is undeniable that "The Piano Tuner" and "The Wolf of Wall Street" were both nominated for Best Picture, but this award belongs to the entire crew and was received by the producer, so it really has nothing to do with Wang Shu.

If it were in China, under the director-centered system, the Best Picture Award would naturally be an honor for the director and the entire crew.

But in Hollywood, the producer is the center of the system, and the best film award belongs to the producer, investors and the entire crew.

As Matt Damon's voice fell, Monica, Stone, Kristen and others all looked at Wang Shu. Like Matt Damon, they watched his expression next.

Not far away, Anne Hathaway also looked towards where Wang Shu was.

Next was the competition for the Best Director Award. She had happened to have seen the movie "The Wolf of Wall Street" before, and knew that the movie was very popular on the Internet, so she couldn't help but wonder whether the movie could win an award.

Anne Hathaway was nominated for the Best Actress in a Drama Series at this year's Golden Globe Awards for her role in "My Sister's Wedding". However, as a native American actress, Anne Hathaway's acting skills are very average, just like most native American actors.

It's hard for an actor like her to win an award without an excellent script.

Some actors, even though they star in mediocre movies, can still win awards for their excellent performances.

Some actors became famous only after encountering a good script.

Anne Hathaway is such an actor. She made her debut with the Disney movie "The Princess Diaries" and became famous overnight. She then successfully transformed herself with Li An's "Brokeback Mountain". In 13, she won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for "Les Miserables".

She became famous because of Disney movies, and her successful transformation was the opportunity given by Li An that allowed her to encounter "Brokeback Mountain", a movie that swept the Oscars. Later, she won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for the movie "Les Miserables".

As for why Anne Hathaway pays attention to the Internet, it is because she is one of the most disliked female celebrities by European and American netizens.

The objection is not that Anne Hathaway made a mistake, but that Anne Hathaway's company gave her the image of a perfect princess and a good girl, but she actually presents herself as a funny person to the outside world.

The marketing personality does not match the real person image, which makes many people extremely disgusted with it.

Wang Shu naturally didn't know that Anne Hathaway's eyes were looking at him. At this moment, he was responding to the malicious words of Matt Damon and others.

"I hope I can win the award." Wang Shu continued with a smile, "I'm still young. Even if I miss it this time, I can try again in the future."

This is the truth, but Monica, Matt Damon, Stone and others looked puzzled when they heard it.

Wang Shu is a talented director who can write and direct his own works. When Monica and others heard this, they all believed that Wang Shu would not be able to do it again in the future. On the contrary, it would not be so easy for actors like them to do it again.

There are many films that are nominated for the Golden Globe Awards and the Academy Awards every year. Few directors are like Wang Shu, who just came to Hollywood and made two films, both of which were nominated for the Golden Globe Awards.

For many other directors, it is extremely difficult to be nominated for a Golden Globe Award, but it seems easy for Wang Shu.

Although it is still a question whether Wang Shu can win the award, but... all the actors who star in the movies directed by him can compete for acting awards.

For an actor, nothing else matters. What matters most is being nominated for an actor award and competing for the grand prize.

Other awards, no matter how many they win, have nothing to do with the actors.

Only the actor award is the honor that belongs to the actors.

"Shu, do you have any plans to compete for the Golden Globe Award or the Oscar next time?" Monica couldn't help but ask.

After this question was asked, Stone, Kristen, Black Widow and the others all turned their eyes to Wang Shu. The other people in the meeting room were quite confused when they saw this.

For some reason, they all looked at Wang Shu?
Could it be that he was congratulating Wang Shu on winning the award?
"I haven't thought about it that much yet." Wang Shu responded tactfully, "I mean, as long as I don't change my career, the future is so long, I will come back eventually."

Monica and others nodded after hearing this, each with their own thoughts in their hearts.

Wang Shu's strength is obvious to all. Monica, Stone and others are convinced that if they can participate in art films directed by Wang Shu, there is a great chance that they will have the opportunity to compete for acting awards at major award ceremonies.

As an actor, no one doesn't want to win an award.

Therefore, whether it is Monica, Stone, or Matt Damon, they all hope to work with Wang Shu again in the future.

Working with talented directors doesn’t guarantee you will win an award, but at least your work won’t be in vain. Working with ordinary directors often means that the art films you work on can’t even win a Golden Globe, let alone an Oscar.

While Wang Shu was communicating with Monica and others, someone around him asked about the situation curiously.

"What are Monica and the others talking about? Why are they all looking at Wang Shu?" someone asked quietly.

"It seems that Wang Shu is going to plan to shoot an art film next," someone answered.

"What? Wang Shu has already written the script and is planning to shoot a movie right away?"

"Ah? Wang Shu is selecting actors now?"

Anne Hathaway saw many people whispering, and she couldn't help asking the people around her, "What are they talking about?"

One person who knew something about the situation whispered, "It seems that Wang Shu has written the script and is planning to make a movie, but the actors have not yet been determined."

Needless to say, everyone, including Anne Hathaway, instantly understood why people were whispering.

The actors have not yet been confirmed, which means everyone here will have the opportunity to audition.

"So that's how it is." Little Li's expression suddenly dawned on him. He now understood what was going on, and his eyes subconsciously looked towards where Wang Shu was.

In the original timeline, he won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor for his role in The Wolf of Wall Street.

Now it's played by Matt Damon, who meets Mickey Rourke and doesn't win the award.

It’s not that Mickey Rourke is very talented, but that he happens to be playing himself in the role, and with his high qualifications, he has an advantage.

Of course, there is also Matt Damon’s acting, which is indeed rather average.

If his acting skills were good, it wouldn't have taken until 2016 for him to win the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a Musical or Comedy for "The Martian".

As for the Oscars, although he was nominated, he was just a runner-up throughout.

Leonardo DiCaprio actually won the Best Actor Award at the Academy Awards in 2016.

On the stage, the award presenter has already come on stage, and all the filmmakers present have quieted down and are staring at the center of the stage.

The award presenter first interacted to adjust the atmosphere, then opened the envelope and took a look, then said loudly: "The winner of this year's Golden Globe Award for Best Director is Wang Shu's "The Wolf of Wall Street."

In January 2009, the United States was still mired in the economic crisis.

During this period, "The Wolf of Wall Street" was released, which instantly sparked heated discussions across the entire Internet and became one of the hottest topics in North America.

With this momentum, the Golden Globe Awards eventually had to consider the consequences of not giving any major awards to "The Wolf of Wall Street".

Any judge with a brain can realize that if the grand prize is not given to "The Wolf of Wall Street" in the heat and atmosphere of the financial crisis, the Golden Globe Awards will be questioned and ridiculed by the entire network, which will cause great damage to the image of the Golden Globe Awards.

In the face of the general trend, going against the trend will only result in injuries and losses.

Therefore, even if you don't want to give the award to "The Wolf of Wall Street", you have to consider these off-site factors and give the award to "The Wolf of Wall Street".

If The Wolf of Wall Street had not been released at a time when the financial crisis was raging, the decision on whether to give the award would have been left to the judges.

But now, we have to consider the consequences of not giving the award to "The Wolf of Wall Street".

After much deliberation and discussion, we finally decided to give the Best Director Award to "The Wolf of Wall Street".

The Golden Globe Awards are hosted by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, and both the judges and organizers are also concerned about their own reputation.

Under this general trend, refusing to give the grand prize to "The Wolf of Wall Street" will not only affect the reputation of the Golden Globe Awards, but also their reputation.

At this moment, as the award presenter's voice fell, the audience burst into warm applause.

Stone Sister, Kristen and others not only clapped the loudest, they even cheered happily for Wang Shu.

When other people at the scene heard the name Wang Shu, they felt a variety of emotions, including surprise, disbelief, and enlightenment.

Wang Shu is just a young director in his early twenties who has just arrived in Hollywood from China.

No matter how talented one is, he will be suppressed in Hollywood.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, the director least likely to win the award is Wang Shu.

Now, what is in front of us is Wang Shu winning the award.

Therefore, many people find it incredible.

Some people also suddenly realized.

Under normal circumstances, it would not be Wang Shu's turn to win the award.

But since Wang Shu was nominated for the Best Director Award for "The Wolf of Wall Street", this is not a normal situation.

At this time, Wang Shu stood up and walked to the stage amid warm applause, and received his first Golden Globe Award for Best Director from the presenter.

Although he has won the Best Screenwriter Award before, as a director, the Best Director Award is the highest honor for a director.

Wang Shu walked to the center of the stage with the trophy and began to give his acceptance speech.

"Thank you, Hollywood Foreign Press Association."

The Hollywood Foreign Press Association is the organizer of the Golden Globes, and this statement is similar to how winners usually raise their hands to thank the American Film Academy at the Academy Awards ceremony.

This is because the American Film Academy is the organizer of the Oscars.

"This award belongs to the entire Wolf of Wall Street team, the entire cast and crew, all the producers. Thank you, thank you very much."

"I want to thank."

"I want to thank."

"Movie."

"That's why I fell in love with making movies and telling stories, because it gives us a chance to laugh together and cry together. It gives us a chance to learn from each other and have more empathy for each other."

"So thank you to everyone, thank you to everyone who has made it possible for me to do what I love. Thank you so much."

The Best Director Award is a big award, so even if the acceptance speech is too long and exceeds the allotted time, there will generally be no rush.

But even so, Wang Shu didn't say much. Instead, he expressed his gratitude in various ways, said a few empty words, and then walked off the stage in a cool manner.
