America: Starting with the acquisition of MGM

Chapter 210 209. This is the first time such a spectacle has occurred at the Golden Globe Awards

Hilton Hotel, Golden Globe Awards party scene.

As usual, a long red carpet was laid out to the edge of the asphalt road, surrounded by media reporters and super fans from all over the world.

China's participating film this year is "Heroes of Heaven and Earth" directed by He Ping. Unfortunately, it did not win the favor of the association and was not shortlisted for the best foreign language film.

This also casts a shadow over the Oscars a month later. There will be no Golden Globe nominations, and there is a high probability that the Oscars will fail.

The result is actually not as good as last year's "Hero". Facts have proved that the extra words "Heaven and Earth" are useless, and the gorgeous co-production is also useless.

But if you are deliberately blocked because of ideological hostility, that is not the case.

First of all, China has not yet hosted the Olympic Games, the world's attention has not been focused on it, and the West has not yet regarded this giant dragon as its opponent.

Secondly, let’s take a look at the other shortlisted films: Afghanistan’s “Salma”, Canada’s “The Barbaric Invasion”, France’s “Mr. Ibrahim and the Flowers of the Koran”, Russia’s “Return” and "Goodbye Lenin" in Germany.

Russia can be shortlisted, Lenin can be shortlisted, what more bicycles are needed?

However, Eric still saw the Chinese media logos, Sina and Sohu, but not the official media.

"Look here Eric, smile, you will look more handsome when you smile."

Eric raised the corners of his mouth slightly to cope with the reporter's shooting.

Spielberg, who was passing by, stopped and looked at him curiously.

"What's wrong Steve? Am I dressed inappropriately? Or is there something dirty on my face?"

Spielberg shook his head: "No, I'm just curious why you are standing here alone? I remember you are the director and screenwriter of "Transformers" and "The Life of Adele."

"He is the producer of "The Devil Wears Prada" and the co-writer and producer of "Get Out."

"It seems weird that you have four crews to choose from and yet you're all alone."

Clint Eastwood also happened to pass by and heard the conversation between the two.

The older man couldn't help but stop and said in a joking tone: "Based on my life experience, I'm afraid it's because there are too many choices, so he has no choice."

Eric spread his hands helplessly: "Did you hear that? This old gentleman made a brilliant summary."

Clint Eastwood is right, he really doesn't fit into any group.

Gadot hopes that he will be with her, after all, Eric spends the most energy on Transformers.

The Olsen sisters believe that "Adele's Life" has the most nominations. The sisters are the protagonists tonight, and Eric should accompany them.

Theron believed that Eric had promised to help her become the best actress, so she also hoped that he could sit with her to build up her momentum.

Although Nicole has no works, she knows her ex-husband Tom Cruise very well and knows that he will definitely attend with his little girlfriend Penelope Cruz.

So I hope Eric can accompany her on the red carpet and vow to dominate her.

Each of the five women has their own thoughts, and they all want to possess themselves.

Eric couldn't help it. Whoever he was with would make other people unhappy.

Forget it, I might as well do it myself.

While the three of them were talking, they heard someone shouting from behind: "Nicole, you look so beautiful today, take a picture."

Eric looked back after hearing the sound and saw Nicole walking over wearing a gold and white backless dress, high heels, and holding a Hermès bag in her hand.

Following her was a rich woman who was half a head lower than her. She looked to be in her fifties and was wearing a matching black and red dress.

Soon the two bumped into each other, and Nicole pulled the woman closer and said, "Eric, you look so handsome tonight."

"Same to you, who is this?" Eric asked casually.

"My mother Jenny."

"Um?"

The woman smiled and said: "Hello Eric, Nicole has talked about you. She said you are a very amazing person."

Unexpectedly, the person opposite him turned out to be one of his future mother-in-laws. Out of the Chinese soul in his bones, Eric hurriedly shook hands with the other person.

"Hello Jenny, although this is the first time we have met, I have to say that you are so beautiful. I have found the reason why Nicole has such a beautiful face."

Jenny covered her mouth and laughed: "No wonder she said you are a great person and your words are so useful."

"Come to my house as a guest when you have time. My craftsmanship is very good."

"Of course, I have eaten ostrich meat. I think it must have come from a top chef."

"Hahahaha. Your mouth is so sweet."

Nicole secretly winked at Eric before pulling her mother to find her position.

Looking at the two people leaving, Eric was still a little confused, so he completed his first meeting with his mother-in-law in a daze.

“Since when has it become fashionable to bring your mother to the red carpet?”

Hearing his muttering, Spielberg said: "Not only did Kidman bring his family, but many people seemed to have a tacit understanding in this regard tonight."

"Jane Fonda with her son Troy Grady, Jamie Lee: Curtis with her daughter Anne."

"Patricia Clarkson brought her old father and Kevin Costner brought his 17-year-old daughter."

"Everyone seems to have made an appointment. Many of them are not insiders."

Eric joked: "It is said that the entertainment industry has always been cold and ruthless. I think this time at the Golden Globe Awards, everyone walked the red carpet with their families to show their family affection to the outside world."

"Why not love?"

"Haha. Because love is fleeting, and the divorce and cheating rates in Hollywood are higher than those in France! Family love will always be with us."

Entering the hotel and finding your seat, the layout this time was similar to that of the Emmy Awards. There were round tables with the crew or familiar people sitting around them.

The organizer obviously took Eric's actual situation into consideration, so the four crews were arranged in a square shape.

Eric can sit inside the square, allowing him to switch between crews at will.

But Eric could only curse this kind of layout, you guys are so damn stupid and don't worry about it.

Being so close together, wouldn't it mean that these ladies are facing each other?

I just don’t want this situation to happen, and I have always tried to avoid it, damn the association!

In the end, Ashley and Mary took the initiative and pulled him to their sides. The sisters clamped him on the left and right.

Gadot and Theron, who arrived a little late, could only curse silently and sit there helplessly, blaming the reporters for not letting them leave.

As the hands reached the prime time slot of 8 p.m., the 61st TV and Movie Golden Globe Awards officially opened.

The camera showed the whole scene, and then zoomed in to a close-up, Michael Douglas, Jack Nicholson, and Cate Blanchett all flashed by one by one.

Eric waved in front of the camera, and many women watching the live broadcast immediately exclaimed that he was so handsome.

The key is that he is not only handsome, but also super rich. He is simply a dream partner.

Since being broadcast live by NBC News a few days ago, Eric's reputation in the United States has been rising steadily. His reputation as the youngest super-rich man is far greater than his reputation as a director.

Then host Ellen DeGeneres came on stage and gave a talk show that attracted bursts of applause and laughter from the audience, and the party entered the awards ceremony.

The first award to be presented was for Best Supporting Actor in a Motion Picture Drama. Meryl Streep took the stage in a black dress.

She is not the kind of person who is good at telling jokes, so she started to follow the process after saying a few opening remarks.

"Nominated for Best Supporting Actor in a Drama Series are Peter Sarsgaard for "The Unexpected," Ken Watanabe for "The Last Samurai," Alec Baldwin for "Cooler," and Albert Finney for "Big Fish." , Tim Robbins' "Mystic River," and William H. Macy's "The Age of Fate."

Meryl Streep opened the envelope: "The winner is Tim Robbins, 'Mystic River'!"

The camera turned to Tim Robbins. This 45-year-old writer and director needs no introduction. "The Shawshank Redemption" has proven everything.

He walked up to the stage with a smile, accepted the trophy, and kissed Meryl Streep, a simple click, not the emotional kind of Nicole.

After thanking the association, director and producer, he walked off the stage.

Then the four leading ladies of Sex and the City appeared on stage together to present the award for Best Actor in a Drama Series.

"The Walking Dead" failed to win any Golden Globe Awards this time, and it didn't get a single nomination. Many fans are calling it unfair.

Some people think that at least the best screenwriter should be talented. After all, the script is so excellent that it has won an Emmy Award.

But in fact, the Golden Globe TV series does not have an award for Best Screenplay at all. Maybe the association feels that it is not professional enough to judge this award.

Although Brother Nu won the Best Supporting Actor, the three major categories of drama, comedy, and miniseries were competed together, and the awards were not awarded separately.

If you want to get a nomination here, the difficulty triples, so Brother Nu was also brushed off.

But it doesn't matter, Darabont is filming the second season of "The Walking Dead", which is the prison chapter of the original third season. It is recognized that the most exciting chapter is about to begin.

I can't believe that I can't conquer the audience and these judges.

Later, the best actor in a musical comedy film was won by Bill Murray for his wonderful performance in "Lost in Translation".

"Lord of the Rings 3" won the best original song and won the first award of the evening.

On stage, Keanu Reeves, The Savior, and Uma Thurman, The Killer Bride, appeared to present the award for Best Score in a Motion Picture.

The Transformers crew suddenly became nervous and stared at the envelope in Uma Thurman's hand.

"Soundtrack is an important part of a movie. It will make the movie more pleasing to the eye and allow the movie to enjoy sensory stimulation and auditory stimulation at the same time."

"Uma, can you imagine Pulp Fiction without the soundtrack?"

Uma Thurman swayed her steps and swayed her body slightly, performing the classic sway dance in "Pulp Fiction".

After shaking it for a few times, he stopped immediately, covered his face with his hands and said shyly: "This is simply the most shameful thing in the world!"

Ha ha ha ha

The audience burst into laughter.

"So the next awards are to pay tribute to those soundtrack masters, Howard Shaw in "Lord of the Rings 3", Hans Zimmer in "The Last Samurai", Gabriel Yard in "Cold Mountain", Danny "Big Fish" Elfman, Steve Jablonski, "Transformers."

The camera is given to everyone. Although they are behind the scenes, they are an important part of Hollywood and movies.

Uma Thurman opened the envelope and read with Keanu Reeves: "The winner is Howard Shaw from "Lord of the Rings 3."

There was an instant burst of applause in the hotel, and the Transformers crew was immediately discouraged, losing their only nomination.

Everyone comforted Steve Jablonski in a low voice, and the other person smiled in relief. He didn't have high hopes at all. It would not be a shame to lose to "Lord of the Rings".

The awards ceremony continued, and several TV drama awards were handed out.

What makes Eric a little disappointed is that there is still no harvest of his favorite "Friends".

"Chandler" Matt LeBlanc was nominated for Best Actor in a Comedy Series, but lost out to Ricky Gervais' "The Office."

It seems that these award ceremonies are scheduled, otherwise no one will give them.

I don't know if it's because of the crazy rumors that this year will be the tenth season of "Friends", which is the final season of the show.

The six old friends are tired after ten years of filming, and each of their salaries has increased to $1.2 million.

It's not 1.2 million for a season, it's 1.2 million for an episode. One episode for six people is 7.2 million US dollars. Plus the fees of other actors, as well as venues, wages, machines, etc., the production cost of one episode is nearly 10 million. This is the drama The main reason for the end.

But don’t think that because the cost is high, you will lose money. NBC calculated it very clearly, it just made less money.

Moreover, the conflicts with the six leading actors are already deep, and it will probably be more troublesome to continue filming. It is also a good choice to terminate it in time, so that everyone can save some dignity.

He probably knew that "Friends" was coming to an end, so he planned to save all the awards for the next one, just like "Lord of the Rings."

It was now time to award the Best Actor in a Drama Movie. Future Marvel Falcon Anthony McCann was nominated, and the Get Out crew became nervous.

James Wan and Ray Whannell cheered him on, and Eric was also staring at the stage. This was the only male character award nominated for MGM's four films, and he wanted it too.

But the competition is fierce, Sean Penn, Ben Kingsley, Elijah Wood, Jude Law, Tom Cruise, no one is easy to mess with!

"The winner of the Best Actor in a Drama Series award is Elijah Wood for "Lord of the Rings 3"!"

After Jennifer Lopez announced the results, Elijah Wood's eyes widened in surprise with an expression of disbelief.

The bearded man, Hugo Mortensen and others hurriedly hugged him and began to celebrate.

This result is a bit surprising, because Sean Penn has the highest call for winning the award, but who let this be "The Lord of the Rings".

Anthony McCann sighed first, then smiled and clapped. Sure enough, he was still too young and too low-profile in Hollywood.

Eric turned sideways and patted his shoulder to comfort him. Anthony McCann smiled and said, "It's nothing Mr. Cooper. If I don't win, you and Whannell's chances of winning the best screenwriter will be improved."

Eric thought to himself, if the young man talks the truth, you can still keep the falcon.

Amidst the applause, the Golden Globe Awards began a song and dance performance, inviting Kelly Clarkson, the winner of the first season of "American Idol".

After seeing and hearing her voice at the scene, Eric remembered that the famous song "Stronger" was her song.

Sorry, it's mine.

After watching the show, a beautiful figure walked from the backstage to the microphone. It was the shining golden Nicole.

She held the envelope in her hand and glanced at it with a vague look in her eyes.

"The award for Best Screenplay will be announced next. Each of them is the best writer, depicting vivid and beautiful stories on pages."

"With these excellent stories, excellent movies will be born."

"Nominated for best screenplay are Eric Cooper and Leigh Whannell for "Get Out," Sofia Coppola for "Lost in Translation," Patty Jenkins for "The Devil Wears Prada," Brian Helgeland's "Mystic River."

Every time a shot flashed, the audience burst into applause until Nicole read out the last nomination: "Eric Cooper for "The Life of Adele"!"

Wow.

The applause suddenly intensified.

With two films nominated for best screenplay at the same time, this is the first time this has happened at the Golden Globes.

Not to mention the Golden Globe, Oscar, Europe's top three, St. Bastien, Tokyo, Golden Horse.

This is the first time that I have visited all the major influential film festivals in the world.

In particular, Eric is really too young. Technically, his birthday has not yet arrived, so he is not yet 24 years old.

To achieve this achievement at the age of 24, he is the youngest person to be nominated for a Golden Globe screenwriter and the youngest person to be nominated twice for Best Screenplay. He has already broken many records.

It is very difficult for future generations to challenge. I am afraid that it will only be possible until people are sent to Pluto.

On the stage, Nicole opened the envelope and announced with a smile on her face: "The winner of the best screenplay is..."
