Entertainment: From the Octagon to the big screen

Chapter 822 - Awards in progress

Chen Yu took a deep breath and walked onto the stage with Jodie Comer to present the award for Best Foreign Language Film.

A total of five works nominated for this year's Golden Globe Awards for Best Foreign Language Film are from Mexico, Lebanon, Belgium, Germany and Japan.

The film approved and submitted by China was last year's box office champion "Wolf Warrior 2"!
Last September, Wu Jing received a notice that the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television recommended "Wolf Warrior 2" to participate in the Golden Globe Awards. He was shocked and couldn't believe it at all.

Although "Wolf Warrior 2" swept all its competitors in China, Southeast Asia and even Russia, the European and American markets responded mediocrely and did not cause any waves.

Apparently, European and American audiences think that this work is very similar to "The Expendables".

With a change of actors, backgrounds, and flags, it is basically an overseas deluxe version of "The Expendables", so "Wolf Warrior 2" makes money in the European and American markets simply by selling copyrights.

Wu Jing and the production team did not put much effort into marketing Wolf Warrior 2 in Europe and the United States.

Wu Jing also specifically asked Chen Yu not to promote or endorse "Wolf Warrior 2" in public. After all, "Wolf Warrior 2" is more attractive to Chinese audiences.

Moreover, Wu Jing wants to save face, and he is well aware that when creating this work, he borrowed, applied, and paid tribute to many classic films of the same type overseas.

Wu Jing himself joked that if "Wolf Warrior 2" won an award at a mainstream European and American film festival, then the entire European and American film industry should be torn down and rebuilt or closed down.

"Wolf Warrior 2" is not a super hardcore sci-fi masterpiece or masterpiece like "The Wandering Earth".

"Wolf Warrior 2"'s attempt to appeal to patriotism has resulted in its audience being very limited, with European and American audiences 100% not buying into it.

"The Wandering Earth" is a film about saving the world and saving all mankind. Its level and realm are in another dimension and are more in line with the values ​​of most European and American audiences.

Wu Jing really wants to use his connections to ask the radio, film and television authorities not to recommend Wolf Warrior 2 for the Golden Globe Awards. He really thinks it is too embarrassing.

It is also possible that the Chinese film and television industry and practitioners will be laughed at by their European and American counterparts. This blame is too heavy to bear.

Chen Yu also couldn't understand why the Radio, Film and Television Administration chose "Wolf Warrior 2" to participate in the Golden Globe Awards to compete for the Best Foreign Language Film. Logically, the Radio, Film and Television Administration should have been able to see the problem.

Wouldn’t it be nice to recommend some art films that are profound, distinctive and representative of the nation?

In the past five years, the two neighbors have relied on this routine to frequently appear at mainstream European and American film festivals. Previously, practitioners in Taiwan and Hong Kong also used similar methods to gain nominations.

Since the radio and television authorities don't like scar-themed and rural-themed films, there is no need for them to launch "Wolf Warrior 2".

Can we mention Jiang Wen? If he talks to Quentin, maybe he can get a nomination based on his relationship with him. Besides, Jiang Wen has been much more honest in recent years.

Unlike when he was young and openly opposed the radio and television, this proves that Comrade Jiang Wen has recognized his mistakes and corrected them.

No matter how effective this guy's correction is, at least he is willing to bow his head and give in.

Jiang Wen had previously approached Chen Yu to inquire about this year's Golden Globe Awards for American Film and Television.

The box office of "Hidden Man" collapsed and the investment was lost, but if it could get some nominations in mainstream European and American films, it might be able to make some money back by selling overseas copyrights.

However, the radio, film and television authorities still harbored grudges and prejudices against Jiang Wen, and would rather recommend Wu Jing than pay any attention to Jiang Wen who had surrendered.

Chen Yu felt a little complicated because there was no Chinese film in the Best Foreign Language Film category.

Jodie Comer also cursed secretly, after all, the title of Best Foreign Language Film directly kicked British works out of the circle.

Jodie Comer is English.

I have a natural aversion to American film, television and music ceremonies and awards.

Previously, the Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film was called: Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Film.

However, due to the fact that British works dominate this award almost every year, the name was changed and the relevant selection rules were adjusted:
The film must be at least 70 minutes long and at least 51% of the dialogue must be in a language other than English. From then on, British works bid farewell to this award, leading to a secret confrontation between the British and American film and television circles until today.

Jodie Comer was in no mood for nonsense. She took the white envelope from Chen Yu and prepared to reveal the answer. The host begged her through the headset to buy time.

Chen Yu touched the tip of his nose and glanced at the sister. He was about to tell a short story, but Jodie Comer pursed her lips to indicate that it was not necessary.

The hot favorite for Best Foreign Language Film at this year's Golden Globe Awards is the Japanese film "Shoplifters."

Di Lieba cried while watching and wasted half a pack of tissues; Chen Yu tried hard to control his eyes and keep himself awake.

Jodie Comer also went to the cinema to watch the movie. Although no tears were falling, her eyes were red.

Mainstream media in Europe and the United States generally believe that "Shoplifters" can win the award.

As a result, the Mexican film "Roma" was intercepted halfway.

After Jodie Comer read out the winning film, she turned to look at Chen Yu in confusion and astonishment, could this also be a big upset?

Chen Yu reached out his casual shoes and lightly touched Jodie Comer's high heels to remind her to control her expression.

The shocked look on the sister's face just now seemed to indicate that the Golden Globe Awards had manipulated "Shoplifters" to the detriment of the awards.

Due to the obstruction of the stage, Chen Yu's reminder was not noticed by outsiders. Jodie Comer immediately calmed down and congratulated the "Roma" crew for winning the award.

But the on-site director did not want to make the matter less serious and ordered the camera to be pointed at the director of "Shoplifters" and the male and female leading actors.

This time Chen Yu couldn't hold back his laughter, and Jodie Comer instead tapped his ankle with the tip of her shoe to remind him to hold it in.

Chen Yu's laughter caused a chain reaction at the scene. Everyone stopped holding back their laughter. George Lucas immediately stood up and turned to the "Shoplifters" crew and applauded loudly.

Cameron, Mr. Frey, the Ken brothers, Spielberg and other bigwigs also paid their sincere respects to the "Shoplifters" crew.

The crew of "Roma" was made to look very embarrassed. After receiving the trophy from Chen Yu, its director Alfonso Cuarón suddenly found he didn't know what to say.

Chen Yu could only pat his shoulder comfortingly and help him put the microphone in place.

Chen Yu guessed that the crew of "Shoplifters" did not spend money on public relations for the judges, and the latter decided to punish it in anger.

Anyway, there have been many similar incidents in the history of the Golden Globe Awards for American Film and Television.

Alfonso Cuarón is the first South American director to win an Oscar and a Golden Globe, and he holds a very high historical status.

But the 58-year-old was very reserved and uncomfortable at the moment, so Alfonso Cuarón just bowed deeply and walked off the stage quickly with the trophy.

The Best Foreign Language Film award ceremony is over.

The Best Animated Film then began.

The Radio, Film and Television Administration recommended Boonie Bears: The Big Change to compete for the award, but as expected, it failed to even get a nomination and went home.

Chen Yu really admires the leaders of the Radio, Film and Television. Could it be that the Radio, Film and Television want to use this opportunity to tell the outside world: We look down on this fake award.

The Golden Rooster, Hundred Flowers and Huabiao Awards can represent the highest realm of film art for all mankind.

If you do not agree with this point of view, it means that you are prejudiced and discriminatory and are not qualified to work in the film industry.

Chen Yu tilted his head to look at the broadcasting camera of the movie channel. How should the host of CCTV-6 respond at this moment?
