(Listen, please vote for the Three Rivers Award, please vote for the midnight recommendation, thank you!)
On January 24th, the 56th Annual Golden Globe Awards ceremony is about to begin, followed closely by the Oscars.
Early in the month, during several interviews, Chen Tiandu was asked questions like, "Are you confident about winning the Golden Globe for Best Screenplay?" "How confident are you about winning the Oscar for Best Director?" or "If you win, who would you most like to thank...?" He always smiled and said, "I'm already very happy to be nominated; I don't have any thoughts about winning. If I win? I'd most like to thank the presenter, they must have read the wrong name."
This was his true feeling. Winning the Best Director Oscar this year? Don't be ridiculous, it's impossible. This is not the same as a box office miracle. Whether it's the difference in themes and stories between "The Sixth Sense" and "Saving Private Ryan," "Shakespeare in Love," "Life Is Beautiful," or his own credentials, they clearly aren't enough to impress the judges. Being nominated is the limit.
Although he is essentially a supporting player for both major awards, Chen Tiandu still has many expectations for his first Golden Globe Awards. The competition for Best Screenplay is very favorable, after all, he is the only one with two films nominated. And Haley is also a strong contender for Best Supporting Actor.
This year's Golden Globe Awards are particularly noteworthy. Besides the numerous favorites, the biggest reason is the gathering of stars, including Steven Spielberg, Tom Hanks, Jim Carrey, Cate Blanchett, Judi Dench, Gwyneth Paltrow, Angelina Jolie, Gregory Peck, and of course, the new generation idols Chen Tiandu and Ben Affleck.
It's worth mentioning that today, the animated film based on the Chinese folk story "Mulan" has also been nominated for Best Original Song.
This is the first time a Chinese director has been nominated for the Golden Globe Awards, and even the domestic film channel has sent reporters to cover the event. Chen Tiandu, being a good host, has even arranged their accommodation.
Apart from the Chinese media, this grand event has always been a focus for fans. This year, it is expected that hundreds of millions of viewers from over 130 countries and regions will watch the live broadcast of the award ceremony, which will be aired live in the United States by NBC.
The red carpet is bustling with voices. Dressed in stylish suits and elegant evening gowns, celebrities and famous people walk around, posing gracefully for photographers or chatting in groups. On the steps behind the barriers, photographers are busy, their cameras flashing continuously, the sound of shutters drowning out the chaotic noise.
"Christmas, Kate, over here... Kate Belsey, Haley!"
Chen Tiandu is wearing a black suit with a round-necked white shirt, no tie. After the makeup artist's work, his mixed-race features are highlighted, giving him a youthful and charming aura. His outfit is not in any current fashion trend, but it has a style reminiscent of Armani. However, fashion experts can confirm that Armani does not have this style of suit.
The outfit of Kate, who is on his arm, has attracted even more attention from the American fashion world. It is a new design that has never appeared on any major fashion runways, a typical Chinese qipao transformation. The broken blue and white porcelain pattern on the fabric, the delicate cut, perfectly showcases the feminine figure. It is a blue and white porcelain qipao with a unique Chinese traditional style.
These outfits have even been praised by James Acheson, one of the greatest costume designers at the Oscars. His eye for fashion is beyond doubt.
"Click, click~~"
The blue and white porcelain qipao evening gown, with some modern cutting styles, makes both of them look stunningly beautiful. In the flash of the cameras, they leave a beautiful memory of their youth. Kate's unique personal charm and the sophistication of a British beauty add more luster to the blue and white porcelain qipao.
She loves this dress so much that she was even more excited when she found out it was designed by Chen Tiandu. Her performance on the red carpet proves how dazzling and radiant she is.
The sound of reporters shouting her name satisfies her vanity, and she can't help but tiptoe to kiss Chen Tiandu on the cheek. Chen Tiandu is slightly surprised, but his tense expression quickly disappears, and a smile spreads across his lips.
The reporters, of course, won't miss this display of affection. The couple's outfits today have added a lot of points for them. Of course, Haley, the only child star nominee, has also added more attention.
"Viewers, we can now see that the guests are starting to enter."
On the TV screen, an NBC female reporter is reporting from the center of the red carpet, "Just passing by are the creators of the film 'The Sixth Sense'... The award dinner is about to begin, please stay tuned, this is a report from Beverly Hills."
On the red carpet, Chen Tiandu also saw Tom Hanks. The old veteran still exudes the same charm. It has been over a year since they last met, and he didn't expect to meet again on the red carpet of the Golden Globes. Tom Hanks is also quite moved, giving him a light hug to congratulate him. Chen Tiandu is familiar with the "Saving Private Ryan" crew, and they naturally chat warmly.
The Golden Globe Awards ceremony is held in the form of a formal dinner.
In the crowded hall, people sit around round tables, with sumptuous and delicious food on the tables. Chen Tiandu, Kate, and Haley are sitting with the "Saving Private Ryan" crew at the front table. Around them are people from the "Shakespeare in Love" and "Life Is Beautiful" crews.
Although it is a formal dinner, the hall is filled with laughter and joy, like a party.
"Hello everyone, welcome to the 56th Annual Golden Globe Awards!" Amid applause and cheers, the host walks out from the side of the stage, and the ceremony officially begins.
The results did not deviate too much from media predictions. Haley's competition for Best Supporting Actor ultimately did not win. The child is carefree, clapping enthusiastically, not at all sad.
Kate hands him a piece of chocolate, "Haley, try the Golden Globe chocolate, or you'll have come for nothing."
"I've already had several pieces, look in my pocket." He quietly shows everyone his bulging pocket, full of chocolates, and everyone bursts into laughter.
Not only did he fail, but Tom Hanks also lost the Best Actor award to Jim Carrey for "The Truman Show." When it came to the Best Screenplay award, Chen Tiandu, the only one with two different works nominated for the same award, received special attention from the camera, but unfortunately, he didn't win this award either. "Shakespeare in Love" won another major award.
Thus, Chen Tiandu's first Golden Globe Awards journey ended in a supporting role.
Tom Hanks patted his shoulder, and Kate looked at him, offering comfort. Chen Tiandu shrugged, indicating that he was fine. Everyone's faces still shone with smiles, but they were genuinely nervous inside. In the competition with "Shakespeare in Love," they were clearly behind. Fortunately, Steven Spielberg still won the Best Director award, and the entire hall cheered for him.
Not only that, but when the host loudly announced "Saving Private Ryan" as the winner of the Best Drama Film award, the entire hall stood up. All the creators walked on stage together to accept this moment of glory.
"Saving Private Ryan" and "Shakespeare in Love" became the biggest winners of this year's Golden Globe Awards.
After a busy day, leaving the hotel, there was some regret. Seeing Kate a bit down, Chen Tiandu comforted her, "It's okay, dear, we still have the Oscars."
Kate smiled, "This is my first time walking the Golden Globe red carpet, and now I understand why everyone is so enthusiastic about winning. Only that award is a recognition of one's acting career, and the glory is born the moment you step on the stage." Seeing Chen Tiandu's concerned look, she laughed, "I'm fine, just a bit reflective. Since I wasn't nominated from the start, I didn't expect anything, so there's no disappointment. What about you?"
Chen Tiandu shook his head, "Although it's a bit disappointing, it was something I had already anticipated. Do you want some ice cream?" He suddenly saw an ice cream shop by the roadside and suggested.
"OK, I hadn't realized how hungry I was. I want three big tubs."
