Chapter 243： Angelina and Scarlett

Angelina Jolie, born in Los Angeles on June 4, 1975, is a Hollywood movie star, social activist, and special envoy of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. Graduated from theleestrasbergtheatre&filminstitute and New York University Film Institute.

At this year's Golden Globe Awards, she will win the Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress for her legendary role. Now that I saw him, Zhang Dongcheng would naturally go over to say hello, and make sure he was familiar, so that he could find her to shoot Tomb Raider in the future.

Nowadays, the film and television adaptation rights of Tomb Raider have all fallen into the hands of Zhang Dongcheng. Of course he couldn't give up.

Although there is no plan to shoot Tomb Raider yet, Zhang Dongcheng will definitely not act like the disgusting approach of New Line Films. If you don't shoot yourself, you have to keep the copyright in your hands.

"Hi! Miss Angelina, hello!" Zhang Dongcheng came to Angelina Jolie and greeted her with a smile.

Angelina Jolie froze for a moment. Quickly reacted, "Oh! God, it turned out to be Director Smith, hello! You actually know me?"

In fact, it’s not surprising that Angelina is making such a fuss, she hasn’t really made it to the top yet. The turning point in Angelina's career came after 1998, especially from 1998 to 2000, when she was nominated for three consecutive Golden Globe Awards and won.

Then Angelina Jolie really took off. Now she can only be regarded as a well-known actress.

"Of course. I've seen your filming of Legend of Wind and Cloud, and your acting skills are great. I believe you will win the award tonight!" Zhang Dongcheng played the role of a magic stick without hesitation. Leak the news of Angelina's award in advance to her. Anyway, it won't be long before things will be confirmed.

And doing so can leave a deep impression in her heart, so why not do it?

"Thank you for your compliment, Director Smith. I've seen your The Matrix and The Mummy, and the shots are great!" At this kind of awards ceremony, the most common thing is the process of everyone bragging about each other. Angelina is no exception. "Oh, by the way, and two big smoking guns. I like it too!"

"If there is a chance, I think I will cooperate with Ms. Julie." Zhang Dongcheng put forward his idea without hesitation.

Angelina Jolie was very calm, smiled and said: "That is my honor!"

After communicating with Angelina for a while. Only then did Zhang Dongcheng return to his seat.

Just because he doesn't go to others, doesn't mean others can't come to him. Soon, a little girl appeared in front of Zhang Dongcheng and said in a childlike voice, "Director Smith, hello!"

Zhang Dongcheng was slightly taken aback. The girl who appeared in front of him looked like she was only thirteen or fourteen years old. With beautiful blond hair and a pretty face with baby fat, she could be seen as a beauty at first sight.

Actors of this age are usually child actors. The future of child stars is very bumpy, and there are few smooth sailing times.

The audience is familiar with how they looked when they were young. Once they grow up, they will always give people a weird feeling.

The girl in front of Zhang Dongcheng gave Zhang Dongcheng a sense of familiarity and strangeness, as if he had seen this girl somewhere, but he still had a feeling of looking at flowers in a fog, and he couldn't remember her identity.

"Director Smith, hello, my name is Scarlett Johansson!" The girl held out a hand playfully.

Zhang Dongcheng finally remembered the identity of this girl.

Although there is some suspicion of being an afterthought, after all, it was only after the girl said her name that she recalled it.

Scarlett Johansson, born in New York on November 22, 1984, is an American actress. In 1994, Scarlett starred in her first film "North".

In 1996, Scarlett starred in the movie "Manny and Luo" and was nominated for Best Actress at the "Independent Spirit Award" that year. In 2003, she won the Best Actress Award at the Venice Film Festival and the British Academy of Film Awards for the movie "Lost in Translation". And with "Lost in Translation" and "Girl with a Pearl Earring", she won two Golden Globe nominations for Best Actress at the same time.

In 2007, "The Nanny Diary" starring Scarlett was released. In August 2009, she was selected as the champion of the world's top ten **** actresses by the British fashion magazine "Glamour". In 2011, Scarlett starred in "The Avengers". In November 2013, Scarlett was nominated for Best Actress at the 16th British Independent Film Awards with "Under the Skin", and won the Best Actress Award at the Rome Film Festival with "Her", becoming the first actress in the history of the Rome Film Festival to rely on her voice Award-winning actress.

It can be said that the future Scarlett is definitely a rising star in Hollywood. But now Scarlett Johansson is only fourteen years old, and she is still a little girl.

Speaking of it, it seems that she shouldn't appear at the Golden Globe awards ceremony now, right?

Zhang Dongcheng's eyes circled around Scarlett curiously. Through the old TV at his cousin’s house, Zhang Dongcheng once saw Scarlett’s future movie, but at that time, Scarlett was mature, **** and charming, and now the obvious little **** The state gap is too great.

Feeling Zhang Dongcheng's eyes constantly turning around her body, Scarlett had an inexplicable sense of vigilance in her heart. I began to wonder in my heart, whether this big commercial director who has risen to fame in Hollywood and has the qualifications to become an entertainment tycoon in front of me has an admirable habit. Such as lo*ic*n!

"Director Smith?" Scarlett carefully called Zhang Dongcheng again.

Finally recovered from the memory, Zhang Dongcheng smiled a little embarrassedly, and said, "Sorry, Miss Scarlett, I was distracted just now!"

"No! It's okay, although it was rude for you to stare at a lady like that just now. But I won't blame you!" Although Scarlett tried her best to show maturity that did not belong to her age in her tone. What she said made people feel that she was still a child all the time.

"Okay, thank you Miss Scarlet for your generosity!" Zhang Dongcheng couldn't help smiling, and said with a smile, "Is Miss Scarlet also here to participate in the Golden Globe Awards?"

Scarlett shook her head and said with some disappointment: "No, I'm just here to visit. Director Smith, are you interested in working with me?"

The little girl looked at Zhang Dongcheng with some apprehension and asked.

There has never been an actor who approached him so straightforwardly to ask for cooperation. Zhang Dongcheng was slightly shocked by this little girl at that moment.

Scarlett at this stage is indeed an embarrassing age among actors. Acting as a child, it seems a bit big. Playing an adult, yet appearing young, has few roles for her.

It's been almost a year since Johansson, who turned 13 last year, played a young orphaned girl in "Sister Manny," a critically acclaimed performance that earned her an Independent Spirit Award nomination for Best Actress , she doesn't have any movie contracts. For an actor, lack of exposure means lack of popularity. Then acting career will be greatly affected.

Now that Scarlett's acting career has just started, she doesn't want to just sink like this. This is also the reason why Scarlett appeared on the stage of the Golden Globe Awards. She must seize every opportunity she can seize. If there is no opportunity, then create it herself!

Zhang Dongcheng, who knows Scarlett's future, knows very well that this year, Scarlett will be favored by the great director Robert Redford, and will play the heroine Kristen Scott in his new film "The Horse Whisperer" - Thomas' daughter. Although the film received mixed reviews, Scarlett's performance was widely acclaimed, earning a "Box Office Bomb" Best Supporting Actress nomination and multiple "Hopeful Star" titles.

It was also this film that began to lay Scarlett's road to superstardom in the future. But after The Horse Whisperer, Scarlett will fall into a two-year period of silence. It was like accumulating, and then exploded, becoming a bright star.

"Miss Scarlett, you know, I am currently busy with my new movie Secret Wars. I think even if it is a cooperation, it may have to wait until the second half of this year. Well, let's leave a contact information and wait until my time If there is a suitable role, I will contact you, how about it?" Zhang Dongcheng asked with a smile.

Scarlett was a little disappointed, but she didn't show a frustrated expression. Because before Zhang Dongcheng, she had already met many directors, and the answers of those directors were basically the same as Zhang Dongcheng's.

"Okay, Mr. Smith, I'm looking forward to working with you!" Scarlett smiled slightly, left her contact room in a ladylike manner, and drifted away.

Watching Scarlett go away, not long after, a blond girl with a press card walked up to Zhang Dongcheng. "Director Smith, I'm glad to see you again. Can you accept my interview?"

Looking at the familiar girl in front of him, Zhang Dongcheng couldn't help showing a kind smile.

Selena, a special reporter of the Los Angeles Film News, interviewed him during the production of The Matrix. At that time, it was at the entrance of the coffee shop, and Zhang Dongcheng was stopped by this Selina abruptly.

Zhang Dongcheng still has a good impression of this beautiful blonde female reporter. Of course, this good feeling is not because of the other party's pretty face and curvaceous figure. It's because this girl was the first to stand up for The Matrix and him.

And until now, the Los Angeles Film News has always been a supporter of Zhang Dongcheng, and has never hesitated to praise him in the newspaper and cheer for him.

"Of course, I am honored to be interviewed by Miss Selena." Zhang Dongcheng said Selena's name in one go.

Selena covered her mouth in surprise, "Oh! God, Director Smith, you still remember me!"

Although it has been less than five months since the last time I interviewed Zhang Dongcheng on the street. But Selena knew very well that she and Zhang Dongcheng had just met each other last time. She never expected that Zhang Dongcheng could remember her name clearly.

For a moment, a kind of emotion surged from my heart. It made Selena more and more convinced that Zhang Dongcheng is a good person. I must support him.

Sometimes people are like this, maybe a thing that is very inconspicuous to the other party can move you for a long time.

"Yes, I remember when Ms. Selena interviewed me last time. I was very embarrassed at that time. The whole Hollywood was bad-mouthing me and my movies. As long as Ms. Selena supported me without hesitation." Zhang Dongcheng expressed his kindness to Selena at the right time.

"Okay, Director Smith, so may I ask if Dongcheng Films really bought Marvel Comics?" After some pleasantries, Selena did not forget that she came to find Zhang Dongcheng's job after all. Soon entered the state.

"Yes!" Zhang Dongcheng nodded, and after affirming Selena's words, he said: "Marvel Comics is a company with a long history. For more than half a century, Marvel Comics has contributed countless In the story, there are countless superheroes that are familiar to everyone. In the future, Dongcheng Films will bring these superheroes to the big screen, so that everyone can relive the original touch!"

"Really?" Selena said in surprise: "Director Smith, in fact, I also like superheroes in Marvel comics. I believe that after your superhero movie is released, many people will support it!"

"Really? Thank you for the compliment."

"Director Smith, Dongcheng Pictures bought ZDC TV station, does it indicate that your focus of work will shift to the media in the future?" Selina continued to ask.

"No!" Zhang Dongcheng shook his head and explained: "Buying the TV station is a long-established plan of the company. Maybe I will devote some energy to the TV station, but my focus will always be on movies!"

Next, Selena asked a few more questions. Zhang Dongcheng also answered one by one.

"Director Smith, not long ago your disappearance caused a lot of noise in Hollywood. Many people want to know what you have been doing since you left the film these days?" Selina looked at Zhang Dongcheng curiously and asked road.

Zhang Dongcheng obviously had no way to answer this question. You know, in those days, he took advantage of the Asian economic crisis to dig out a few pieces of flesh from Indonesia! This is definitely a way to make a fortune.

Once exposed, Asian movie fans will resist what they say. Zhang Dongcheng smiled mysteriously and said, "I'm sorry, but I can't answer this question."

"Okay!" Selina was slightly disappointed. But being able to get so many revelations from Zhang Dongcheng's mouth is enough for her to concoct tomorrow's news. "Thank you for your generosity, Director Smith!"

After the interview with Selena. Zhang Dongcheng finally got a rare peace, and no one bothered him until the official opening of the 55th Golden Globe Awards Ceremony!

"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm very glad that you can come to this Golden Globe Awards Ceremony." The host Billy Crystal waved his arms, waved to many actors and directors below, and walked onto the rostrum .

Seeing Billy, Zhang Dongcheng laughed again. He still remembered that last year's Oscar was hosted by Billy. At that Oscar ceremony, Zhang Dongcheng was the statuette who won the best screenplay. I don't know if I can get those rewards at the Golden Globes this time?

But at the Oscars in a few months, the host will still be this guy. Speaking of which, he hosted two Oscars in a row.

"Everyone, you have a very powerful enemy this year, and that is James Cameron! Curse him now, maybe he can get a few fewer trophies, so you have a chance!" Billy teased James unscrupulously Cameron, let a burst of smiles spread from the stage.

I have to admit that this guy's lip service is really admirable. A few words can make everyone roar with laughter. As a person who energizes the atmosphere, he is undoubtedly very qualified.

"Okay! I believe many people are already complaining!" Billy said funny: "Billy is too annoying, we are here to receive the award, not to listen to your long-winded. Now, the award ceremony officially begins Already!"

Billy's words shocked everyone present. Seriously, especially those who were nominated alive, couldn't help but become nervous.

The first award is the best original song award in the movie category, which has nothing to do with Zhang Dongcheng. He is just a soy sauce watcher.

Although the soundtrack of The Matrix is ​​made by Hans Zimmer. Still not nominated.

There are a total of four films nominated for Best Original Music, and the most popular award-winning film is naturally the Titanic, which is still in theaters.

No one will deny that the song myheartwillgoon, translated as My Heart Will Go On; My Heart Is Still or Love Is Endless, is indeed a rare masterpiece of film music.

It is worthy of the film that James Cameron has spent so many years making. Even the soundtrack goes to the point of nitpicking.

In the end, without any surprise, Best Original Score went to Titanic. In fact, it is expected that this award will be won by the Titanic. This is the least suspenseful award in the entire Golden Globe Awards.

After the best original music award, the next best composition was also won by Titanic.

After several awards in a row, it was finally the turn of the best screenwriter related to Zhang Dongcheng.

For Zhang Dongcheng, the enemy this time is too powerful, and he doesn't dare to have too much hope at all. Instead of expecting too much and being disappointed in the end, it is better to maintain a natural attitude from the beginning.

The best screenplay nominations for the Golden Globe Awards this time, in addition to Jang Dong-seong's The Matrix, are of course James Cameron's Titanic. This movie is a monster!

In addition to this, there are three movies, "L.A. Confidential", "As Good as It Gets" and "Good Will Hunting". The Matrix squeezed out the place that should have belonged to "Wag the Dog".

"Oh, the winner of the best screenplay will be announced soon!" Billy laughed wantonly, and said, "There are five favorites this time. But there is only one trophy. Who can win this trophy?" take it away?"

Billy's eyes flicked over the many nominees. The camera also matched James Cameron, Zhang Dongcheng and the other three candidates for a few seconds.

The award presenter finally opened the golden envelope, glanced at the name on it, and announced into the microphone: "The winner of the 55th Golden Globe Award for Best Screenplay is...Smith Zhang!"

There was a wave of applause, but at this moment, Zhang Dongcheng was stunned.

You actually won an award? What are you kidding? Didn't Adaman focus on Michelle Yeoh when making public relations? How did it become like this?

Although this movie is a purchased copyrighted script, the original author Andy Wachowski agreed to sell the title rights of the script to Zhang Dongcheng, and he did a lot of adaptations, which is why Smith Zhang’s nomination belongs to him. But obviously Zhang Dongcheng didn't want to get this statuette by himself.

Although Zhang Dongcheng was puzzled, this time was obviously not the best time for him to think about it. With a faint smile on his face, Zhang Dongcheng stood up and walked towards the center of the stage.

"Wow! Congratulations, Smith! Although you missed out on the best screenwriter last year, this year you got the trophy as you wished. How is it? Are you very happy?" Billy came to Zhang Dongcheng's side and asked funny .

Last year's Oscars, Jang Dong Sung left a deep impression on him. This fledgling can win some Oscars, and he is still a rare Chinese, it is really hard for people not to pay attention.

"Of course, being able to win the award represents the affirmation of my film, and I will naturally be very excited. I am very happy!" Zhang Dongcheng responded when he took the trophy from the award presenter.

"So, do you have anything to say now?" Billy asked, winking at Zhang Dongcheng.

Zhang Dongcheng came to the stage hastily this time. Before that, he never thought that he would win the award. But this kind of impromptu performance can't help him.

"I want to say a lot, but if I really want to say it all, the next award will probably be postponed until tomorrow." Zhang Dongcheng's words immediately caused a burst of laughter.

"So, let me make a long story short. First of all, I really didn't expect to get this trophy. It was really too much pressure on me from the Titanic. Director James Cameron is undoubtedly a very good director. To win With this trophy, I can only thank God, because only he can let me get the trophy!" Zhang Dongcheng mentioned James Cameron slightly, then made a few jokes again, and then walked off the stage.

Just returned to the position of the Matrix crew, Michelle Yeoh said with a smile: "Director, congratulations, at least this time is not for nothing!"

"Yeah!" Zhang Dongcheng nodded, with a serious expression on his face, "But this time, your Best Actress might be a bit dangerous. I originally planned to let Adaman do public relations with the Golden Globe Awards, so that you can win a trophy. Only in this way can you gain a firm foothold in Oscar. But unexpectedly, such a result will appear in the end!"

"It doesn't matter!" Michelle Yeoh shook her head gently, "Anyway, there will be opportunities in the future, right?"

After consoling Michelle Yeoh and telling her to wait a while and be mentally prepared, Zhang Dongcheng handed the trophy to the Wachowski brothers and said, "Speaking of which, this trophy should belong to you!"

Indeed, Jang Dong-seong's The Matrix can basically be said to be the brainchild of the Wachowski brothers. However, before the filming of The Matrix, the news of the creative collision between Zhang Dongcheng and the Wachowski brothers had been spread throughout most of the United States under the publicity of countless media. It also sold well, and then gave up the title right to Zhang Dongcheng.
