Subsequently, Forrest Gump also won the Best Picture and won almost all the awards that focused on public relations. So this Golden Globe Award basically fulfilled all of Ronald's intentions.
At the 52nd Golden Globe Awards, in addition to the key awards involving Forrest Gump, other Golden Globe awards gradually returned to normal standards. Whoever spent more budget on public relations and the jury composed of foreign journalists, who booked
If you hold a big party in a high-end hotel, and have celebrities attend in person to take photos and sign autographs with the judges, whoever you choose will have a high probability of winning.
Jessica Lange won the award for Best Actress in a Drama for "Blue Sky," a film about a nuclear test in a desert area that exposed nomadic cowboys living there to radiation.
She won the award, defeating Meryl Streep, Jodie Foster, Jennifer Jason Leigh and others, and her superb acting skills won praise from the judges (other nominees did not work so hard to please the judges).
Speaking of which, most of these nominees have Oscar awards or nominations. Jessica Lange also won the Oscar for Best Actress. Before this, she had won the Golden Globe Award twice. Originally,
There is no need to work so hard.
However, the fate of the movie "Blue Sky" was ill-fated. It was originally planned at the bankrupt Orion, and the filming was completed in 1990. Director Tony Richardson even passed away in 1991, without waiting for the day when the movie was released.
Originally, this movie was a project at the same time as "Dances with Wolves" and "The Silence of the Lambs" that Ronald was deeply involved in. However, because Orion fell into bankruptcy and reorganization, they were very optimistic about the movie and never made it.
Selling distribution rights to the film.
It wasn't until 1994 that MGM, which liked to collect financial junk studios to create themes and try to get good performance in the story, officially completed the legal process of acquiring Orion, and then used Orion's label to produce the film.
Blue Sky is back in theaters in China.
Orion didn't have much extra budget to promote the release, so Jessica Lange had to do her best to promote it herself.
Speaking of this movie, the story actually has some connections with Hollywood. At that time, aircraft manufacturing tycoon Howard Hughes entered the film industry and made a movie "Conquering Paradise", telling the story of Genghis Khan.
The film was shot in an area not far from the Nevada nuclear weapons test site. As a result, hundreds of staff were affected by nuclear radiation, and a high proportion of them became ill afterwards.
Howard Hughes blamed himself so much that he withdrew the copy of the movie and never showed it in theaters again. The movie has also become a curse. The movie Blue Sky was recognized by many labor unions in Hollywood, accusing the military of nuclear test safety.
Sexual irresponsibility.
Another Best Actress (Comedy/Musical) was awarded to Jamie Lee Curtis of "True Lies". She was so excited that she was a little incoherent. She won with a commercial film
Emma Thompson, Andie MacDowell and others are indeed some unexpected surprises.
The two supporting actors and actresses are more realistic in their acting skills. Ed Woodley plays Martin Landau, a washed-up veteran horror movie actor, and Diane plays an alcoholic, washed-up female star in "Bullets Over Broadway".
West, won the award without much controversy.
There is only one male and female supporting actor award each, regardless of drama or comedy. This award has very little influence, so it basically wins the recognition of the judges with its true ability.
In the end, all three of Harvey Weinstein's films failed miserably, with the most promising "Pulp Fiction" winning in Best Actor (John Travolta), Best Supporting Actor (Samuel L. Jackson), and Best
All failed in the Best Supporting Actress category (Uma Thurman), and Quentin also lost to Ronald for Best Director.
At the end, Quentin Tarantino, who was sweating profusely and looking embarrassed, finally won the Best Screenplay Award.
He finally breathed a sigh of relief. He also looked like he was no longer under any pressure on the stage. He would laugh for several seconds after saying a word. In addition, the beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, which gave the audience the feeling that he was completely
People feel as if they are already "high".
The NBC broadcasters also cursed him, so they had no choice but to stop showing him close-ups and show a distant medium shot.
The most unexpected thing about the entire Golden Globe Awards, and the one that made Harvey Weinstein gnash his teeth the most, was the award for Best Picture in the Comedy/Musical category. Neither Yun Shang Storm nor Ed Wood won. The final award
Nor was it awarded to tonight's dark horse, "Four Weddings and a Funeral," but to Disney's animated feature "The Lion King."
An animated film was nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Picture. Only Beauty and the Beast in 1991 has done so in history. And it is generally regarded as a symbolic move to express the artistic level of Disney's animated films.
The achievement is very high, comparable to real-life movies.
Who knew that this year's Best Picture in the Comedy/Musical category would really be awarded to "The Lion King". As we all know, The Lion King is based on Shakespeare's "Hamlet" story and was adapted from it.
Therefore, he won the award as a musical, not a comedy. Thinking about it this way, it seems to make some sense.
After all, the composer of "The Lion King", Hans Zimmer, also won this year's Golden Globe Award for Best Score. And there are two of the three arias in the movie composed by Elton John and sung by different cartoon characters.
The song was nominated for Best Movie Interlude, including "Can You Feel the Love Tonight?", a duet song sung by Simba and Nana, which also won the award.
Therefore, it makes sense that such a strong movie soundtrack would win an award in the musical category. After all, there has been no new blockbuster musical in Hollywood for many years. This award can be said not to be bullied by Disney, but to several other films.
The so-called comedy is really not competitive.
"Hi, hahaha, hello everyone, hahaha, OK..."
After the Golden Globe Awards are over, the winners will come to a small hall at the back, which is the interview area for journalists. Quentin Tarantino seems to be really "high", not only speaking incoherently, but also often making sense.
The unknown laughter fits the stereotype of "geniuses all have unique quirks".
Some reporters also had bad intentions and deliberately asked questions that contained traps.
"Quentin, do you think that after winning this award, you have been recognized by more people and become more 'mainstream'?"
"Actually no, I have always felt that I am very mainstream. The Pulp Fiction I made, at least I think so, is a mainstream movie. I hope this award can change other people's impressions, but of course I also know that this is unlikely to happen...
…Hahaha……"
Quentin Tarantino has indeed stepped into the trap. He still does not have much experience in giving interviews to reporters. He admitted that "Pulp Fiction" is a non-mainstream art film that relies on the praise of film critics to achieve success at the box office.
success.
Now the reporters, who had been drowsy by the routine answers given by the previous winners, came to their senses. They arranged their order with eye contact, and began to prepare to ask questions that Quentin might give that would make it into the news.
The "hot" answer.
"Pulp Fiction and Forrest Gump, Quentin, what do you think of the showdown between these two movies?"
Finally, a reporter from the Los Angeles Times asked the most important question. The showdown he was talking about was the evaluation of the two movies that had been hyped by many media in the past few days before the Golden Globe Awards.
Everyone thinks that Forrest Gump represents conservative values, while Pulp Fiction is a movie that completely subverts everything. Everyone is looking forward to the upcoming Oscar showdown between Ronald and Quentin.
"You know what? Everyone is saying that the duel between our two movies. Forrest Gump is here..." Quentin Tarantino didn't seem to understand the competition that the reporter wanted to provoke, but he still started
Commentary from a director's perspective.
Quentin drew a stroke on the right side with his hand, indicating that this is the value represented by Forrest Gump, and the position of the small-town youth, a representative male protagonist type that was highly praised by Hollywood at that time.
Then he drew his hand on the farthest point on the left, "This is Pulp Fiction, as if our two movies are really tit for tat in all aspects.
"Hahaha..." Then Quentin burst into laughter, "Actually, I was sitting at the next table with the people from Forrest Gump just now, and I chatted with each of them. I asked them if they all
Have people misunderstood your movie?
In fact, this is a very satirical movie. There is more satire in it than any other mainstream Hollywood movie I have ever seen in my life. This is not a movie that praises the values of fools, but a skill.
A very masterful black humor movie.”
Well, as soon as this statement came out, the reporters looked at each other. This is more interesting than Quentin shooting Ronald directly. It immediately changed Forrest Gump from a movie about mainstream values to a black satire on mainstream values
comedy.
Some reporters who had read the original work by Winston Groom were even more happy and immediately wanted to ask Quentin some more questions, completely detonating this topic.
At this time, Ronald also received the award and came over for an interview. Quentin's interview took a long time, and he had been talking for more than ten minutes. At first, Ronald was still watching, but when he heard this answer
, he knew he was going to intervene. He walked out quickly from the side and behind where reporters could not see him.
"Ronald, Ronald..."
The reporters dispersed in a hurry and immediately came over to surround Ronald. In terms of interview value, interviewing Ronald was much more important than Quentin.
"Hi, Quentin..." Ronald went over to shake hands with Quentin first, and then gently patted the other person's upper arm with his other hand, preemptively assuming the attitude of a senior looking up to his junior.
"Ronald, what do you think of Quentin's pulp novels..." While the two of them were around, the reporters immediately started asking questions.
"There is no doubt that it is a work of genius. When I watched this movie in the cinema, I had to sigh every few minutes. The techniques of the classic Hollywood masters are quietly waiting for you to discover. To be honest, it can
In the second part...is it the second part, right?...It is very rare for the second movie to show such talent..."
"Oh...Ronald, I am your fan...hahaha..."
Quentin was extremely happy when he heard Ronald commenting on his talent. He let out a silly laugh, came up and hugged Ronald, and then pointed at Ronald and said to reporters, "Do you know? This man,
This man is the most talented person in Hollywood..."
"Okay, let's stop complimenting each other and give reporters a chance to take pictures..." Ronald held the Golden Globe Award and posed with Quentin who also held the Golden Globe Award, allowing reporters to press dozens of
Second shutter.
Skillfully changing the topic, Ronald smiled and held hands with Quentin. Just now, he was secretly teasing Quentin for "paying homage" to too many classics. After almost a few scenes, there was a familiar master.
Jump out from behind the screen and shout, "It's me, it's me..."
Anyway, it’s not that people who are knowledgeable in the industry can’t understand this. Reporters send it out, and ordinary readers only take it as a compliment. Only senior directors in the industry (all of whom have a lot of film viewing experience) will smile knowingly when they see it.
.
After answering the two questions, Ronald excused himself as he had other official duties to deal with. Please forgive everyone, but he still held Quentin's hand and pulled him out.
In short, we can't let Quentin continue the topic of Forrest Gump. This guy is the outside world's biggest competitor for him to compete for the Oscar for Best Director and Best Picture. Any comments coming from his mouth will be reproduced by the media.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! By then, the vague strategy I adopted in the promotion of Forrest Gump may fail. I can no longer insist that everyone has their own interpretation and upholds all values.
Americans can all find resonance in Forrest Gump’s greatest common denominator interpretation.
Quentin, who was cheered by Ronald all the way, also laughed wildly and walked out of the interview hall with Ronald.
When they got outside, Ronald immediately let go of Quentin, picked up Diane and left immediately. Quentin smacked his lips inexplicably and wanted to go back and continue chatting with reporters, but there was already a new interviewee behind him.
.
When he was hesitating whether to go back and continue the interview, Harvey Weinstein rushed over.
"What the hell did you say to him?"
"Who? Ronald, it's nothing? We just chatted about our opinions on our respective movies."
"Never, never talk to Ronald alone when I'm not around..." Weinstein said emphatically.
"Ah, I see..." Quentin was a little dissatisfied, but he couldn't lower his head. Although he won the best screenplay at the Golden Globe Awards and the Palme d'Or at Cannes, if Weinstein hadn't raised funds, to be honest
In other words, no other producer in Hollywood could provide him with the resources to make the movie he wanted to make.
This method of winning awards first and then using them as free marketing to gain better domestic box office is Weinstein's unique ability in Hollywood.
"This is a terrible person. You are still far away from him and are several levels behind. After you make a few more movies and win more authoritative awards, it will not be too late to compete with him head-on." Harvey Wei
Enstein patted Quentin on the shoulder. Many of his prize winning techniques were borrowed from Ronald.
Besides, I lost the Golden Globe Award inexplicably today, and I don’t know where the problem lies. The resources promised by that ally did not play a key role today. I still lost completely in front of Ronald.
.
The so-called "big guys" in these industries often attribute the success of their subordinates to themselves. This is the case with Guber in Colombia. Isn't he going to be kicked out now?
However, the imminent Oscar nomination battle is about to begin, and I have to urge him to allocate more resources. If I want to charge into the battle, I need to give him more ammunition.
"Hey, it's me, you saw the live broadcast? We have nothing but the best screenplay... If you can't help at the Oscars..."
"Don't worry, there are only thousands of Oscar judges, and no one knows how to drive them better than me."
