Chapter 1436： Fighting cattle from across the mountain

The Hollywood Foreign Press Association would certainly not want to see such a situation-"Death Row" was very popular at the Berlin Film Festival. If this work wins an award in Berlin, then the Golden Globes would be really shameful.

Objectively speaking, there are countless award ceremonies in the world, and each award ceremony has different preferences. The best film of the Golden Globe may not be able to show off in Berlin, and the Palme d’Or winners at the Cannes Film Festival do not mean The best picture of the Oscar is sure to win, just like everyone has their own preferences. The reason why the award ceremony can blossom is because their aesthetics are completely different.

Generally speaking, the Golden Globes and the Berlin Film Festival are two award ceremonies that are absolutely opposite. The aesthetic orientation of the Berlin Film Festival has always been known for its slant swords. It is difficult for the Golden Bear winners to win at the Golden Globes and Oscars. Major achievements, such as "In the name of the father", who won the Golden Bear Award at the 44th Berlin Film Festival in 1994, won the Golden Globe and Oscars without scoring any points. Return.

In this way, even if "Death Row" reaches the top of the Berlin Film Festival, it has nothing to do with the Golden Globe Awards.

But the current situation is quite special. Hugo refused the Golden Globe Award to attend the Berlin Film Festival, which originally showed Hugo's artistic style as an actor, which embarrassed the Golden Globe Award; more importantly, The list of winners of the Golden Globes not only made Hugo "dissatisfied"-this is speculated by the media, but also guilty of public outrage-most of the American media think the Golden Globes have fallen out of standard this year.

For the moment, the Golden Globes have always pretended not to know, and calmly faced all doubts, showing their calmness and atmosphere. But once the "Death Row" wins at the Berlin Film Festival, it makes the list of Golden Globe winners hard to convince the crowd. Even if it is not absolute, even if it is just people's joke-like talk, this will have a huge impact on the future development of the Golden Globes.

The Golden Globe, which hopes to get more attention in business, can easily become a joke if it wears an unconvincing hat.

The 2014 Golden Globe Awards, even if they were attacked by all the media, and even if their authority was repeatedly questioned, they can still laugh at themselves and entertain themselves, leaving all authority aside, it's just pure Enjoy the atmosphere of carnival together.

However, there is a huge difference between the Golden Globes now and twenty years later. At present, the Golden Globes has just begun to transform into a commercial road. They don’t have enough capital to laugh at themselves. They still need a broad base to provide support-this is their choice. The reason for the collective sharing of the cake, and also a piece of Hugo, is to maintain face-to-face harmony, so that the major Hollywood film companies choose to support them, and let the audience and fans choose to pay attention to them.

Therefore, if the shame is reduced to a laughing stock this time, then the next development of the Golden Globes is really difficult. The best result is that, as in the United States, the "Death Row" was well received, but in the end it was not enough to attack the award.

The American media reporters all know this. This time, they are all on Hugo's side, not because of their hatred of the Golden Globes-although it is undeniable that part of the reason is due to the unclear definition of the Hollywood Foreign Correspondents Association. The repulsion of organizations is mainly because they want to watch the excitement.

The award of "Death Convict Walk" at the Berlin Film Festival is bound to make the excitement completely boiled, which also made the reporters booze one after another.

As a result, before the closing ceremony and awards ceremony, the call for "Death Convict Walk" actually surpassed the reputation of "Sense and Emotion", and became the biggest favorite to win the Golden Bear Award. This is what the entire "Death Row" crew did not expect before they came to Berlin.

Walking into the banquet hall where the closing ceremony was held, Hugo saw the oncoming Emma Thompson. She opened her arms enthusiastically, "I finally saw you, Hugo Lancaster!" Ai Ma solemnly called Hugo by his full name, then wrinkled her nose slightly and blinked playfully, "The sound of the tsunami from the mountain just now almost made me think that there was an earthquake. I even joked with Xio, Under such a scene, you may find it difficult to get in."

Today, on the red carpet of the closing ceremony, Hugo finally saw the most turbulent crowd in these three days. The earth-shaking shouts made the always cold and solemn Berlin Film Festival look like a carnival mecca. The sound released the enthusiasm deeply hidden in the hearts of movie fans within two weeks. In February, the snow in Berlin was flying, but it was shining like a May primrose.

"I think it's because the weather is too bad. They saw my poor figure shivering, so they pityed me to come in to keep warm." Hugo teased lightly, making Emma haha ​​laugh, that hearty The laughter was not at all feminine, but it made people happy.

You are the most outstanding talented woman today. Emma's career trajectory has also risen from 1992. At that time, a "Howard Manor" made her win the Oscar as the Queen of Stars, and in the next few years she has achieved unmatched results. The brilliance. It can be said that Emma and Hugo cherish each other, and this year Emma personally participated in the adaptation of "Sense and Emotion", which proved that her talented woman from Cambridge University has too many similarities with Hugo.

But this was the first time the two met officially, which was really unexpected.

"Let me introduce to you, this is Kate, Kate, this is..." Emma was half talking, and a young girl behind came forward and said, "Hugo, I know , Mr. Lancaster."

"Madam, nice to meet you." Hugo smiled and made a gentleman's gift, then looked at Emma, ​​"Does my accent sound funny?" Hugo was speaking in English at this time. , Not London, it made him look a little weird and made the two ladies standing in front of him laugh.

Standing in front of Hugo was Kate Winslet, the actress who relied on the "Titanic" to become famous all over the world. At this time, she was still a young girl who was just twenty years old. In fact, Kate already had a certain reputation before "Titanic", and it was the work "Sense and Emotion" that made her enter the attention of everyone.

Kate still has obvious baby fat, and her plump cheeks give her a little girlish childishness, and a little bit of the charm after growing up. The fledgling Kate was obviously very excited when she saw Hugo, even her lips were trembling slightly, her eyes were firmly locked on Hugo, and she could clearly read her inner surging.

Although such a scene is not unfamiliar to Hugo, he still found it quite interesting. He looked at it politely with a smile on his face. Kate seemed to have a lot to say to Hugo, but he had not had time to speak yet. Li was walked over. Ann interrupted, "I think we should be seated."

Standing in front of Hugo is one of the greatest Chinese directors in film history, Li. install.

plum. Ann’s greatest achievement is the integration of the subtleties of the Oriental and the delicate feelings of the Westerners. He has made achievements that others have to look up to in the English film world, and in each of his works, he can read that it belongs to the Eastern culture. The poetic and picturesque style, this is really very rare.

"Sense and Emotion" as Li. Ann's first English-language work quickly became a success, winning the attention of the entire Western world, and even won the best film in the drama category at the Golden Globe Awards in one fell swoop, and it was also the top pick at the Berlin Film Festival.

Looking at Li in front of him. Ann, Hugo couldn't help but took a few more glances, not only because of his future achievements, but also because their souls came from the same land, Li at this time. An is only forty-one years old and looks very young. The crow's feet in the corners of his eyes can vaguely outline his nervousness-although this is not his first time to participate in an international film festival, it is still inevitable.

"Mr. Li, it's nice to meet you. I've been looking forward to seeing you." Hugo took the initiative to stretch out his friendly right hand.

Hugo's accurate Chinese pronunciation and accurate understanding of his surname made Li. An was surprised. He hesitated and stretched out his right hand. "Mr. Lancaster, why do you say that?"

"I have seen several works directed by you, "Pushing Hands", "Wedding Banquet" and "Diet Men and Women". Of course, there is also this "Sense and Emotion"." The last sentence was said by Emma, ​​Yu Guo's words made Emma smile, but Li. Ann looked very shocked. Because Hugo accurately stated the name of each of his works, this is almost impossible among Hollywood actors. What's more, this object is Hugo.

Hugo saw Lee. Ann’s expression came to understand immediately-he was still a little too excited. In fact, his closeness to Li Ann is not only because he has watched the future classics, but also Because of the secret in his soul that can never be said. plum. Ann seemed to be a node where he was standing in this time and space, connecting with the rooted place deep in his soul.

This made Hugo smile, "If there is a chance, I hope to get the opportunity to cooperate with you, I am serious." Hugo looked at Li. Ann's eyes said sincerely, this made Li. An ignorantly nodded, and then Hugo turned his head to look at Emma, ​​"I think I should go find my companion, otherwise I will be embarrassed when the closing ceremony begins." After that, Hugo was polite. Di and Emma, ​​Kate, and Lee. Ann greeted them one by one, then turned and left.

But Lee. Ann stood there but couldn’t recover. It’s not that he had too little experience. On the contrary, because he had enough experience, he could clearly feel the kindness that Hugo released to him. This is really unbelievable-No. 1 in the United States. Do you know yourself, the young director who just finished his English feature film debut? This is almost like a joke. But the facts are telling Li. Ann, this is reality, not a dream.

Kate was also unable to recover. She looked at the back of Hugo reluctantly, unwilling to look away.

Seeing this scene, Emma laughed blankly and had to wake up two people aloud, "Hey, guys, we should be seated."
