Entertainment: I am the peak

Chapter 246 Another upset!
It is now around 17 o'clock in the morning on the 11th in China, which is just the right time.

Li Qiutang won the Best Director Award in the 68th Golden Globe Awards for "In Time"!
This news was spread by major portals at the first opportunity.

The second Golden Globe Award for Best Director in a Chinese language film and the first for mainland China was won by a young director who has been in the industry for less than 5 years and is only 26 years old!

This is not only Li Qiutang's personal success, but also represents the success of mainland director education to a certain extent.

Li Qiutang is not like Li An, the first Chinese-language Golden Globe Award winner for Best Director. He was born and raised in mainland China and received his film education in mainland China. He is the most direct director of the mainland academic school.

The fastest responders were those on Weibo.

He Jiong, Qin Lan and other friends in the circle sent their blessings as soon as possible.

Afterwards, Hu Ge, Yang Mi, Tang Yan, Liu Shishi and others, whether they knew each other or not, all reposted the award-winning Weibo and sent their blessings.

Shu Chang's reposted comment was a little strange: "Come on, Xixi!"

The one who won the award is Li Qiutang, why are you asking your best friend to cheer for her?

The only thing we can understand is that Liu Yifei is the leading actress and her new movie is about to be released, so we urge her to cheer up.

In the face of the Golden Globe Award for Best Director, all the previous rumors about the crew are no longer credible.

Even if it is said that the relationship between Liu Yifei and Zeng Yike is abnormal, it seems to have nothing to do with the movie itself.

But public opinion is sometimes so unreasonable. In the face of this overwhelming honor, "In Time" and its main creators automatically gain the right to be exempt from criticism.

Anyone who criticizes "In Time" now is just feeling uncomfortable.

Now in the Hilton Hotel's International Ballroom, the handsome old man Michael Douglas is receiving standing ovations from everyone in the ballroom.

One reason is that he has won numerous honors, and the other is that he is going to present the last award of the night, Best Picture - Drama.

Michael Lynn told Li Qiutang and others: "Generally speaking, the Best Director and Best Picture awards will be the same movie."

Li Qiutang's heart skipped a beat.

"But you've already been upset tonight, so it's unclear whether you'll get the Best Picture award or not."

Michael Douglas opened the envelope: "The winner is, Time Cage."

The In Time table went completely crazy!
The left-wing filmmakers at the scene whistled loudly, especially the European group, whose cheers were overwhelming.

The Best Picture award is given to the producer, so Cao Ping should have been the one to receive the award, but the Golden Globe Awards said that the recipient was James Schamus, president of Focus Features, the European and American distributor of In Time.

But after James Shams finished his acceptance speech, Li Qiutang still pushed Cao Ping out and asked her to say a few words.

Cao Ping does not speak English and can only say in Chinese: "Thank you Hollywood Foreign Press Association, thank you Focus Features, thank you director Li Qiutang, thank you."

That’s all she said.

The Hollywood Foreign Press Association is capable of causing trouble, but I didn’t expect it to be so successful this year!
It was an anti-capitalist film.

The live part of the Golden Globe Awards live broadcast ends here, and it will be time for cocktail reception and party.

It’s noon in China and the whole internet is boiling!

A Chinese-language film actually won the Golden Globe Award for Best Film!
Unbelievable!

Crazy!

Super dark horse!

The first in the history of Chinese-language films!
Xinlang's reaction was faster than the crew's official Weibo account. As soon as James Shams led the crew to the stage to receive the trophy, Xinlang's press release came out. "On the evening of the 16th, Los Angeles time, the 68th Golden Globe Awards ceremony was held. The Chinese sci-fi blockbuster "In Time" unexpectedly defeated the popular "The Social Network" and "The King's Speech" and won the Best Picture Award in the Drama Category. The picture shows James Shams, the North American producer of "In Time", going on stage to receive the award."

The crew of Let the Bullets Fly, which has passed its popularity, is still very friendly, but it posted a picture of Cao Ping expressing her gratitude: "Congratulations to In Time for making history, and I look forward to its release!"

The official Weibo account of Huayi Brothers Company also reposted the relevant news and sent blessings, saying that they are looking forward to the release of "In Time".

People in the circle joined in the celebration. Regardless of whether they knew each other or not, and whether they were sincere or not, they all sent their blessings to Li Qiutang and the crew of "In Time".

The noon news at 12 o'clock urgently inserted the news of Li Qiutang's award.

"Let's take a look at the latest news. At the just-concluded 68th Golden Globe Awards for American Film and Television, Chinese director Li Qiutang's film "In Time" won the Best Director and Best Picture in the Drama category. Li Qiutang became the second Chinese-language director and the first mainland director to win the Golden Globe Award for Best Director. "In Time" became the first Chinese-language film to win the Golden Globe Award for Best Picture in the Drama category."

As the biggest winner of the night, the crew of "In Time" was extremely popular at the cocktail party after the awards ceremony.

Directors, screenwriters, actors, producers, company bosses, and reporters all expressed their congratulations to Li Qiutang and others.

"In Time" became the highlight of the party.

"They are so weird. They obviously haven't even seen our movie." Liu Yifei whispered to Li Qiutang.

"It's no wonder that most Hollywood filmmakers don't watch films in foreign languages." This is their arrogance. They think Hollywood is the world's film center and simply disdain to watch films in foreign languages.

The party atmosphere was great and the Americans really enjoyed themselves.

Liu Yifei also pulled Li Qiutang to dance, shaking her head.

No one dared to drink too much because they were told as soon as the ceremony ended that there would be an interview after the reception.

At 2 a.m. US time, the crew of "In Time" left the Golden Globe Party and returned to the hotel.

"Hurry up and wash your face." Li Qiutang's assistant informed his boss, "The next five interviews are all from China."

"Who are they?" Li Qiutang turned on the faucet and scooped up some water to rinse his mouth.

"It's mainly six sets. We have to record 30 minutes of material for the six sets, and we have to edit a version for the syndicated broadcast. Then there are the online platforms such as Xinlang and Penguin."

“Which hookup?”

"Which hookup are you talking about?"

"The news broadcast also came to interview me?" He was quite happy.

"The reporters for the simulcast were not at the Golden Globes, they used one set of material with six sets."

"It's good enough to be on the show." It's an honor to be on the news broadcast.

After quickly washing their faces, Li Qiutang and her assistant hurried down to the hotel's temporary conference room to accept interviews from domestic media.

Some of the reporters were old friends. When the two sides met, the reporters congratulated Li Qiutang and Li Qiutang praised their hard work.

They were all trying to get news, but Channel 6 had a significantly higher priority. As soon as I sat down, Liu Ye and Liu Yifei also arrived. They did interviews with other agencies first.

“…Chinese science fiction still has a long way to go. I don’t want the audience to exaggerate the impact of In Time. The development of Chinese science fiction is still very difficult, but I also hope that this work can bring confidence to investors. Chinese science fiction has great potential.”

"...I will be even busier later. When I return to China, I will be busy with the release of the film. I hope it will achieve good results."

After recording six sets of materials, they continued to record the platform. The group was busy until 4 o'clock in the morning. They were all dizzy and went back to rest.
