China Entertainment King of Science Fiction

Chapter 370 A great harvest

“The next one is Best Original Score for a Movie!”

"I don't know if I can get it."

"Definitely. I've seen all the nominated movies. Only "Uncle's Legacy" and "Colonel Ridley" have pretty good soundtracks, but they're definitely not as good as "Gravity."

"You are so sure, why are you biting your fingernails?"

"I definitely have confidence in "Gravity". If this award is not awarded to "Gravity", then there will be nothing to participate in. I think Director Chen can leave directly."

"Good guy, do what you can."

"Ah——! Got it, got it!"

"Fuck! First blood!"

"Hahaha……"

"Is it recorded? Is it recorded?"

This is the strategic high ground occupied by the English-speaking world in the dissemination of film and television culture. For a non-English film to win the Best Foreign Language Film from me is the highest praise for foreign cultures like you.

After being moved, it soon came to the penultimate award of this year's Golden Globe Awards - the Best Director Award.

Whether at home or overseas.

Among the five nominated films for the Best Foreign Language Film, "Gravity" is the only commercial film, and even the box office of the other four films combined is less than a fraction of the box office of "Gravity".

Not only were the guests in the audience a little surprised when they heard the simultaneous interpretation, but the staff gathered at DreamWorks were even in an uproar.

Since the release of "Gravity", the National Center for the Performing Arts Orchestra's performances have been sold out. For non-industry people, its reputation has even surpassed that of the big brother in the industry, the China Philharmonic Orchestra.

Taking the stage to receive the award was Jiang Ming, chief conductor and composer of the National Center for the Performing Arts Orchestra.

However, Chen Jingxing is not a person who is greedy for fame, or in other words, his name is already big enough. As the saying goes, he is as different as a mountain. If he is a genius in movies, he is already great, but if he is famous in music, he is a monster.

However, Jiang Ming still thanked Chen Jingxing profusely in his speech.

From..."

In a sense, it is not much different from the academic tutor system, or even worse than it.

Can Lu Hongzhe, who is almost a newcomer, achieve such an achievement in his first movie? Can he not be excited? Being able to make such a journey will be a great addition to gathering fans, expanding business influence, and receiving endorsements and fashion resources.

"...Thanks to Director Chen Jingxing for the inspiration. Without Director Chen, we would never have been able to make such music...Thanks to Ms. Han Hong, her heavenly voice gave life to the music of "Gravity"..."

"..."Blackbeard" from Persia——

There are not many commercial films shortlisted for this year's Golden Globe Awards. "Gravity" and "The Matrix" are among the few shortlisted commercial films with the highest influence and reputation.

Of course, "Gravity" is a must-play in every performance.

Of course, there are also those who are comfortable watching the live broadcast on their computer monitors at their respective workstations.

"Umbrellas in Edinburgh" from the UK——

When the actor Lu Hongzhe of "The Matrix" heard his agent's exclamation, he excitedly clapped along with the DreamWorks staff, and turned to look at his agent: "What's wrong, Brother Cao? Look at the shocked expression on your face.

, haven’t you always said that “Gravity” is a great space movie?”

As a film that has received five Oscar nominations, the Oscar organizing committee has sent many invitations to "The Matrix". Basically, the main creative staff can walk on the red carpet and have their own seats in the theater.

Of course, the Golden Globe Awards is not the Holy Grail of music, but it can’t stand up to someone’s big name and global fame.

In a modern society with information explosion, it is difficult to produce an all-rounder like Leonardo da Vinci.

What's more, musical literacy is hard to fake and difficult to fake. Chen Jingxing is already a film genius and a master of science fiction. There is no need to add to his reputation with unnecessary personas.

The number one dreamer on the Internet, the C-station film and television UP host "Laika Starman" dedicated a program to talk about the disadvantages of "Gravity" in the Best Foreign Language Film Awards, and bluntly said that "Gravity" is more likely to fail.

big.

The vast majority of Americans are also ordinary people. Otherwise, why would there be voices calling for the Golden Globes and Oscars to open their doors to superhero movies?

Taking the stage to receive the award were Chen Jingxing and You Zuorong, the head of the writing team of "The Matrix".

The reason is also very simple. It is well-known and has a good reputation. Most people have seen it.

Generally speaking, non-famous screenwriters like them are at the lowest end of the food chain, receiving meager returns from outsourcing or plucking, and writing scripts without authorship rights is the norm.

This award is not very important to the Golden Globe Awards, but it is quite important to Chen Jingxing, DreamWorks and the Chinese audience who follow the live broadcast of the awards. After all, Chinese films usually win in such top awards with world influence.

The highest level is competition for the best foreign language film, not only in China, but also in other countries.

"——"Gravity"! China!"

In addition to the employees of DreamWorks, those who joined in the fun were also the creative staff of "Gravity" and "The Matrix". After all, these two movies were the protagonists of this award ceremony.

Especially the screenwriters, even those who are not part of the "Matrix" project writing team, are staring at the TV screen with red eyes.

Even though Jiang Ming is well-informed, he is still very excited to actually stand on the podium.

Although it is very commercial and not elegant, and the style is definitely not as good as classical symphony performance, it can make money.

Anyway, what I want is excitement and a sense of ceremony.

The influence is also completely different.

"Fuck..."

The large conference room of DreamWorks was packed with people. The conference room of more than 80 square meters was packed to the rafters. There was a large TV on the cabinet against the wall in front of the long table. The chairs were all cleared, except for the long conference table.

move.

What made them cheer was that after waiting for nearly an hour, DreamWorks finally won its first award - Best Original Score for a Movie.

Not only domestic, but also overseas performance invitations are constantly being invited. After winning this award, there will definitely be more invitations.

It doesn’t matter if you can see the TV screen, those in the back row, or those outside the door who can’t. They all took out their mobile phones and watched the live broadcast together in small groups.

It’s been more than ten years since I’ve seen anyone officially invited to the Oscars with their work.

After a while, a deafening cheer sounded from the floor where DreamWorks was located.

Others crowded at the door.

Hearing this, Lawrence Lu glanced both ways, and with a smug expression he leaned into his agent's ear and said, "Aren't I looking forward to the Oscars in the future? The Golden Globes are such a grand event, how can the Oscars be worth it?"

Chen Jingxing, who has been on stage for the second time, does not need to thank his family, friends, creative staff, etc. again. Instead, he took out a piece of paper, looked at the camera, and thanked the six members of the "Matrix" writing team and the screenwriter in Chinese.

All other screenwriters who participated in discussions and improved the script of "The Matrix".

In fact, Chen Jingxing was deeply involved in the creation of the soundtrack of "Gravity" that has been praised as "elevating the entire movie" and "the soul of "Gravity"", and was even a "key inspiration"

, he also provided the melody for the climax, and then Jiang Ming and the rest of the orchestra improved and modified it.

Moreover, playing "Gravity" does not prevent the Chinese Opera Orchestra from playing other music.

So some people in the front row were sitting or standing on the carpet, while some people in the back were divided into two rivers by the conference table, and some were sitting directly on the table.

It is not that there are no celebrities in China who have walked the Oscar red carpet and even participated in awards shows, but they are basically invited by brands or through other channels.

This, of course, moved the screenwriters very much, and also made some non-DreamWorks employees of "Gravity" and "The Matrix" actors present lament that it is no wonder that DreamWorks can achieve what it is today. The emphasis on screenwriters and scripts is indeed the highest priority in China.

No one can match it.

Not only are the Chinese people paying attention to the protagonist of this awards live broadcast, but also the audience on the other side of the ocean are paying attention to the protagonist of this Golden Globe Awards, even though the two films did not receive many nominations.

As the agent of a new star that DreamWorks has single-handedly promoted, he is also very concerned about the Golden Globe and Oscar nominations. Moreover, he has been immersed in the entertainment industry for many years, and he still has basic judgment.

A well-known screenwriter or director is a mentor, and a small screenwriter is a tool for the mentor. He works hard to provide inspiration to the "mentor" and even creates most of the content of the script, but in the end he may not get a signature.

But I didn't expect that those four art films were actually defeated by "Gravity".

It is a completely different concept for an ordinary literary film director and a commercial film director like Chen Jingxing to win the Best Director.

The Golden Globe Awards start in the evening, Western Time, which happens to be the morning of the next day in China, and it is working time. Naturally, DreamWorks employees gathered together to watch the Golden Globe Awards live broadcast.

Including who provided what inspiration and who made what contribution, all are stated in detail.

Before the chatter among DreamWorks employees stopped, the awards for the best foreign language film came one after another.

On a certain floor downstairs, a man wearing glasses stuck his head out from the cubicle and looked at the ceiling: "Is there an earthquake?"

It is also the most watched heavyweight award.

Because of this, there is usually a long list of screenwriters at the end of DreamWorks movies and TV series.

It almost shook the entire office building.

Perhaps Chen Jingxing feels he deserves it, but what is more important is that Chen Jingxing's "inspiration" will eventually run out one day. Screenwriters are DreamWorks' truly valuable asset, so he naturally has to take good care of his company's "wealth".

Following the presentations of the award presenters, clips from the shortlisted films appeared on the big screen one after another.

Of course, in the eyes of many people, this is to build up Chen Jingxing's character, but in the eyes of some film critics who are more familiar with the Golden Globe Awards and Oscar Awards, this is by no means a lie.

Although everyone in the street is cheering for the Golden Globe and Oscar nominations, he is actually worried about whether "Gravity" can win the best foreign language film. Even many film critics and senior movie fans are not optimistic about it.

The agent actually knew this better than Lu Hongzhe. He smiled and sighed in his heart: "Don't worry about whether Chen Jingxing has magical powers or not. Anyway, the DreamWorks ship will never get off. I heard that the casting of "Black Mirror II" has not been done yet.

OK, otherwise..."

After the Best Foreign Language Film, the fact that "The Matrix" won the Best Screenplay was not that exciting.

It’s just that I didn’t expect that Chen Jingxing would be able to bring this habit to the Golden Globe Awards podium watched by hundreds of millions of people around the world.

There was still a hint of disbelief in the agent's eyes. He smiled bitterly when he heard this. He looked at Chen Jingxing hugging Qin Zhonghe and others on the TV screen and said softly: "Greatness and winning awards are not the same thing..."

There are people even in the corridor.

The awarding of the best soundtrack set off the first climax of the live broadcast. The TV screen connected to the live broadcast signal of Huanshi.com was filled with words such as congratulations and well-deserved.

DreamWorks is incredibly generous in this regard. It will give signature rights to all screenwriters who participate in the creation of the script, or even just give some inspiration. Even Chen Jingxing himself began not to sign the screenwriter in the later stages, and just posted the script idea and that was it.

, the screenwriters signed are all members of the project screenwriting team.

Is "Gravity" really that powerful? Or does DreamWorks have such great powers?

"I see you're excited, it's not you who won the award..." After digesting the shock, the manager glanced sideways at his artist, whose face was red and seemed to be drunk, and he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Someone soon said: "Oh, Gravity won the best director, Chen Jingxing won the best director, the Golden Globe Award for best director."

It seems that there are many people who are busy at work, and the news has not had time to be pushed over. It must be those who are watching the live broadcast on their mobile phones on mute to know about it immediately.

The bespectacled man clicked his tongue twice. They are also a film and television company, and they also do post-production of film and television dramas. Of course, they have long admired the name of DreamWorks, which is in the same building. The staff of the two companies often meet, and even their own

Employees of the company left for DreamWorks.

"It's so irritating that people are so different from each other. The gap between companies is bigger than the gap between people..."
