Chapter 1249 Consecutive Awards

The Golden Globes are the most important outpost of the Oscars. If you can successfully win the Golden Globes, then you have a great idea of ​​winning the Oscars. So when you enter the awards ceremony, everyone is very nervous, especially Those who have already been nominated.

Even Zun Long, who knows that his chances of winning the award is not high, has a serious expression on his face. Although he is well aware of the unspoken rules of the American film industry, who is willing to give up hope before the awards are finally awarded?

Chen Chong had a complicated expression. She was unwilling to see Zun Long winning the award, but also remembered what Shen Long had said to her now. She inevitably had expectations in her heart. If Zun Long could win the award, would she be There is hope too?

However, at the end of the final awards, Chen Chong was still disappointed. Zun Long did not win the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor, but Michael Douglas won the award for his outstanding performance in "Wall Street". Long ran with him again, so he could only applaud Douglas with a hint of reluctance.

In fact, the same is true for Zhang Ziyi in the future. In 2006, she was full of expectations and hoped to win the best actress for her performance in "Memoirs of a Geisha", but she was also disappointed. The Golden Globes did not recognize her performance. ; It was not until 2019 that the first Asian winner in the acting category appeared. Sandra Wu won the best actress in a TV drama category for "Killing Eve".

Perhaps it is because she is smarter than Chen Chong, and it is more likely because of the rapid development of China's economy in the future. Zhang Ziyi has realized that it is difficult for her to succeed in the United States after "Memoirs of a Geisha" failed to win the award, so she gradually shifted her focus back to China. Didn't miss much.

And Shen Long went on stage with David Byrne to receive the award for the best original film music. Seeing Shen Long on the stage, Chen Chong felt hopeful again. She knew clearly that the behind-the-scenes workers and the front-stage workers The treatment is different. Shen Long can win the award, but it does not mean that she can also be recognized.

Think about it carefully, Jackie Chan and Jet Li are the two kung fu superstars who will be able to get mixed up in Hollywood in the future. In terms of kung fu movies, Americans cannot compare with them; but with the gradual decline of kung fu movies, they will eventually left Hollywood.

"The Last Emperor" won many awards at this year's Golden Globe Awards. In addition to Shen Long and David Byrne, Bertelucci won the best director, and also won the best director together with Mark Piper. The screenwriter, the film also won the award for the best film in the drama category, which can be said to be a rewarding experience.

But Bertelucci was still dissatisfied, "I thought I could get more? I only got four awards. In this case, Oscar may not be very optimistic."

"There is still time, and we can continue to work hard." Shen Long encouraged. In fact, he already knew the result. This year's Oscar "The Last Emperor" will definitely become the biggest winner.

It's a pity that the Oscar awards ceremony will have to wait for a while. After a few months, Shen Long once again ushered in the award ceremony of a major award—the time for the Grammy awards.

This time he won two nominations, Best Soundtrack Album and Best New Age Album. Originally, he wanted to come with Yo-Yo Ma, but Yo-Yo Ma has never been interested in this kind of activities. He thinks music is not comparable, so he He can perform, but he can't compete, and he doesn't care about any awards, so he won three Grammy Awards before that and didn't receive it.

But his musical accomplishments are so awesome, so even though Grammy knew he would not accept the award, he still gave him awards again and again,

By the time Shen Long crossed over, he had been awarded eighteen times, but Yo-Yo Ma didn't even get one. This seems to have become an inherent unique feature of the Grammys.

Entering the scene, Shen Long saw many well-known musicians, some played rock, some sang jazz, some engaged in rap, and of course there were also classical and New Age players like him.

Because of the hot sales of "Reminiscences of the Forbidden City" and the release of "The Last Emperor", many famous musicians came to say hello to him, and David Byrne also kept introducing Shen Long to his friends in the rock circle. People, Shen Long are either enthusiastic or indifferent, if you become friends with them, you can certainly improve your reputation in the United States, but some people are better not to get involved too deeply.

The awards ceremony has begun, and various awards are constantly being handed out. Compared with the previous one, this year's list of winners is much bleak. In the future, music fans will probably only be familiar with the U2 band who won the best rock album. , and George Michael, who won best album.

For the two winners, Shen Long had a different attitude before. He didn't want to have anything to do with U2. Instead, he talked a lot with George Michael, because U2 has always loved various political activities, with Shen Long didn't like the strong white leftist trend; George Michael was the first rock star to perform in China, and they talked a lot about China.

Shen Long finally got the two awards of Best New Age Album and Best Soundtrack Album as he wished. This is much happier than winning the Golden Globe Award, because the reputation of the Golden Globe Award is not as good as the Oscar, and its influence in the music circle is far away. It is not as good as the Grammy, and being able to win the Grammy Award can greatly enhance his status in the music circle.

"Good job! Wang!" David Byrne gave him a big hug, "I want to win two awards next time!" In fact, he wants to win more than the best soundtrack album It is the best rock album and best rock band awards, after all, his job is a rock singer.

"I also hope to win other awards next time!" Shen Long is the same. For him, whether it is the Best New Age Album Award or the Best Movie Soundtrack Album, it is not as good as the Best Classical Contemporary Composition Award. It is more important than the best classical album award, because he thinks this is Wang Qiming's ideal.

The Grammy Awards will be presented in early February, and this year's Oscars will be presented in mid-March, so not long after the Grammys are awarded, it will soon be time for the Oscars to be presented.

Shen Long reunited with Bertlucci and other crew members again, and came to the Chinese Theater in Hollywood together, where this year's awards ceremony will be held.

"Bernardo, this is a good sign." Shen Long said to Bernardo Bertrucci with a smile. Winning an Oscar at the China Grand Theater must be a good thing for this movie about China.
