The king of ghost horse comedy

Chapter 149 Golden Globe Awards

Walking on the red carpet, Xu Guanwu was a little nervous at first, but fortunately he remembered what Zhao Yazhi said just now, and tried his best to keep a smile in front of the media.

The media is also very interested in this film investor from the East. In their impression, it is probably the first time for a Hong Kong person to walk the red carpet here.

That's why Xu Guanwu was favored by many media, click click click, the flashes flickered non-stop, and his slightly stiff smile was photographed.

When he walked to the other end of the red carpet, Xu Guanwu was used to facing the media, and his nervous mood gradually calmed down.

Under the guidance of the guide, Xu Guanwu and Zhao Yazhi walked to the photo area and posed various smiling poses for people to take pictures.

After stopping for nearly 1 minute, under the instructions of the guide, he boarded the interview platform again and accepted an interview from NBC TV station.The TV station is also a sponsor and partner of the Golden Globes.

"Long time no see, Stanley!" Host Alan Heller warmly greeted Xu Guanwu, "After filming "Rocky", you disappeared in Hollywood. Where did you go?"

"I went back to Hong Kong. You know that Hong Kong is known as the Hollywood of the East, but compared with Hollywood, the development of Hong Kong films is still very slow. So I use the knowledge I learned in Hollywood to accelerate the development of our Hong Kong film industry." Xu Guanwu explained.

"Who is this beautiful woman beside you? Can you introduce us?" The host asked again with a smile.

"She is my wife, Zhao Yazhi!" Xu Guanwu introduced with a smile.

"Zhao, you are very beautiful," Allen praised with a smile, "Apart from "Rocky", are there any other new investment projects recently?"

"Yes, there will be a "Jaws" recently, and I will meet fans soon." Xu Guanwu introduced with a smile.

"Jaws, wow! The name sounds scary." Allen pretended to be frightened, and then asked with a smile: "This time "Rocky" and "The Godfather 2", "Chinatown" " and other films competing together, do you think the chances of winning the prize are high?"

"Both "The Godfather 2" and "Chinatown" are great movies, and I wouldn't be surprised if any of their films wins." Xu Guanwu said with a smile, "Of course, if "Rocky" wins, I will be even happier. "

"Okay, thank you for accepting our interview, thank you!" Allen said with a polite smile after asking the prepared questions.

Xu Guanwu and Zhao Yazhi walked off the interview platform with a smile, and entered the lobby of the Kodak Theater under the guidance of the guide.

There are still quite a few reporters in the hall, like sharks, who go up to interview celebrities when they see them.

Celebrities, producers, film company representatives, etc. who were not on the interview stage just now also had the opportunity to be on camera at this time.

"Stanley, come here." Richard Zanyuke greeted him with a smile and introduced some friends in the film industry to Xu Guanwu.

Xu Guanwu and Zhao Yazhi walked over together, and under Richard's introduction, they met many Hollywood filmmakers.

Among these people are stars, directors and producers, film company executives, distributors, TV station representatives, film critics, etc., etc., and they constitute the entire Hollywood film market.

Although everyone only had time to say hello and say a few words, Xu Guanwu also knew that the opportunity was rare.Without the introduction of Richard, the "second generation of shadow", it would be difficult for him to get in touch with these people.

After staying in the hall for half an hour, the red carpet ceremony was finally over, and the guests entered the venue one after another under the leadership of the usher.

Because Xu Guanwu and Stallone were nominated for awards, they specially arranged to sit in the front row.

For the Golden Globe Awards, "Rocky" was shortlisted for five awards, namely Best Soundtrack, Best Screenplay, Best Actor, Best Director and Best Film.

Among them, the Best Film Award is an award for film investors, which is the award that Xu Guanwu is competing for.

Xu Guanwu is not very confident about whether he can win the award, because the powerful opponent he will face is the movie "The Godfather 2".

What a classic series of movies "The Godfather" is, you can only see its value after seeing the continuous reports of later generations.

This is a classic work that can span a long river of time. Faced with it, "Rocky" seems a little weak.

So when Xu Guanwu found out that he was going to compete with "The Godfather 2", he automatically gave up the hope of winning the award, and just went to Hollywood to hang out and get acquainted.

Anyway, for him, there will be more opportunities to invest in award-winning films in the future, so he can't afford to worry about gains and losses.

Compared with Xu Guanwu's calmness, Stallone was much more nervous.

For him, a trophy not only represents honor, but also represents countless money.

There is a huge difference in worth between an actor who has won awards and an actor who has only been nominated.

If Stallone wants to be promoted from a third-tier and fourth-tier artist to a second-tier and first-tier artist, then a trophy of the world's top awards is indispensable.

In the tense anticipation of everyone, the Golden Globe Awards ceremony will begin soon.

For this awards ceremony, two well-known talk show hosts were specially invited to host. They were full of witty remarks and eloquent, making everyone laugh from time to time.

However, due to the difference in cultural customs, Xu Guanwu didn't realize that there was anything ridiculous about it, so he just put on a good-natured smile.

After the talk show came to an end, the trophies were going to be awarded immediately. The first one was the trophies in the TV field. Xu Guanwu didn't understand this very well, so he didn't care.

Several trophies were awarded, interspersed with some song and dance performances, and finally came the part of awarding film awards.

Stallone, who was as bored as Xu Guanwu, immediately cheered up, because the first trophy was the Best Screenplay Award.

Seeing that Stallone was so nervous, Xu Guanwu couldn't help getting nervous.

"The 32nd Golden Globe Awards, the best screenplay award, shortlisted are "The Godfather 2", "Rocky", "Chinatown", "The Old Man and the Cat"..." the award presenter shouted.

"The winner is..." The award presenters paused for a while, and the music started immediately. Stallone took a big breath, and the veins in his nervous hands burst out, ""Chinatown", congratulations!"

Xu Guanwu couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and peeked at Stallone, but saw him facing the camera, smiling a little dimly.

"Don't worry, Stallone. Although I missed the Best Screenplay Award, I still have the Best Actor Award." Xu Guanwu comforted.

Stallone couldn't help but smile when he heard that.

The Best Soundtrack Award, the Most Promising Newcomer Award, the Best Supporting Actor Award, the Best Actress Award and other awards that were presented later were all taken away by other films. Halfway through the awards ceremony, although "Rocky" received five nominations, But none hit.

"The exciting moment has come. Now the award for best actor in a drama category is being presented. Please invite the presenters, Stephen Miller and Wesson Steinberg!"

Stallone became nervous again, staring straight at the stage.

"Ah Wu, do you think he will win the award this time?" Seeing Stallone working so hard, Zhao Yazhi couldn't help asking softly.

"It's hard to say, this time the opponent is so strong." Xu Guanwu shook his head and said.

"For the Best Actor in a Drama Series, the nominees include Jack Nicholson, Sylvester Stallone, Dustin Hoffman, and Al Pacino." Stephen Miller said.

"The winner is, guys, calm down, Jack Nicholson." Wesson Steinberg roared.

Xu Guanwu looked at Stallone worriedly. When the award presenter shouted out the word Jack, Stallone froze for an instant. eyes.

The next best director award was still received by Roman Polanski who directed "Chinatown". There was nothing wrong with "Rocky".

"Ah Wu, the Best Film Award will be announced soon, are you nervous?" Zhao Yazhi asked worriedly.

Xu Guanwu smiled and shook his head.
