Chapter 44 Award Ceremony
Around 5pm, with the arrival of the invited guest crew, this year's 60th Golden Globe Awards officially began.

The crew of "A True Detective" was seated at the back, the crew of "Chicago" was sitting in the front, and next to them was the crew of "Far From Heaven".

However, Gu Wei didn't know most of the people, but Reid started chatting and laughing with them.

As the host came onto the stage, the audience gradually quieted down, with only the flashes of cameras continuing.

The opening is basically the same old introduction, including the origin of the Golden Globe Awards, the time of the event and the shortlisted works for this year.

After the host’s introduction, the pre-awards performance began.

Songs, dances, and even black people’s favorite rap were all displayed one by one.

Gu Wei was feeling a bit bored watching from the audience, but Reid next to him was enjoying the performance and was swaying his body to the rhythm.

As the performance came to an end, the white judges responsible for presenting the awards tonight came on stage and were about to begin presenting the awards.

The film awards will be presented first.

"Congratulations to the movie Gangs of New York for winning the Best Original Song, and congratulations to Bono."

There was applause from the audience. Bono stood up, hugged the crew members, and then walked towards the stage.

The Best Supporting Actor and Actress awards were both from the movie "Adapted", and were won by Chris Cooper and Meryl Streep respectively.

The award ceremony continues...

Soon, the Best Screenplay award came to be presented. On the stage screen, shots of several films appeared in turn, including "A Time to Live and Work to Remember".

Gu Wei straightened up in his seat and stared at the judges intently. Reid next to him was breathing a little quickly.

"This is a young director from across the ocean, and his talent is amazing."

"Congratulations to the film "A True Story" and director Weigu."

"Gu, congratulations."

Reid stood up excitedly and hugged Gu Wei.

Gu Wei straightened his suit and walked towards the stage.

After taking the trophy and microphone handed over by the judges, Gu Wei faced the audience and said: "Thank you to the jury for giving me this award, and thank you to the crew and main creative staff, thank you."

"Crash".

Applause broke out immediately, and the audience below the stage did not hesitate to applaud, and many reporters took out their cameras to take pictures.

Gu Wei's speech was very short. After he finished speaking, he turned around and walked off the stage, handing the microphone to the judge next to him.

"Gu, congratulations, you have won another trophy."

After seeing Gu Wei return to his seat with the trophy in his hand, Reid congratulated him again.

Gu Wei smiled and said nothing.

To be honest, the Best Screenplay award was just an average one at the Golden Globe Awards and didn't make him too excited.

The nominees for Best Actor include Leonardo DiCaprio, Jack Nicholson, Daniel Lewis, Adrien Brody and Michael Caine.

Leo missed the Best Actor award again, while Jack Nicholson won the award for "About Schmidt".

Finally, the Best Foreign Language Film was won by the Spanish film "Talk to Her".

The Golden Globe Awards are given out together with film and television awards. After the film awards were awarded, the television awards began.

Gu Wei watched boredly from the audience. Although his English was good, he didn't quite understand some of the professional terms and names. He also didn't know much about television awards and could only watch for fun.

Just like writing a script, Gu Wei would ask Reid to find a professional to translate it before registering it with the Screenwriters Association.

In the end, the TV series "The Shield" won the Best Drama Series award, and the Best Actor award also came from this TV series.

After the award ceremony, it was time for the cocktail party.

Many celebrities and film producers greeted Gu Wei with glasses of wine in hand.

Gu Wei was just being polite and greeting everyone who came over. Since they were not familiar with each other, they did not chat in detail.

After the cocktail party, Gu Wei said goodbye to Leon and others, and returned directly to the hotel room with Reid.

.........

The next day, Gu Wei and Reid drove directly to the Universal headquarters.

"Taken" began filming in October last year and took nearly four months. The main shots have been completed and the film is currently being edited and post-produced at Universal Headquarters.

"Gu, I feel this movie can achieve good box office, and the company has already started publicity and promotion."

In the editing room of Universal headquarters, the person in charge asked directly.

When Gu Wei heard this, he stared at the camera in front of the screen and nodded with satisfaction.

Liam Neeson, born in 1952 in Ireland, is a native British actor.

The age of 51 has not affected his skills. His skillful fighting and rich acting skills add a lot to the film.

"No problem, the fight scenes are good".

Gu Wei then commented.

When the head of Universal Pictures heard this, he smiled with satisfaction.

The release date of the film has not yet been determined, and it mainly depends on the speed of editing.

Gu Wei did not stay long at the Universal headquarters. He had lunch with a few people at noon, and then returned to Montreal with Reid.

The crew of "The Day After Tomorrow" is still filming in Montreal. Every extra day of delay will result in a huge loss of US dollars.

...

At the same time that Gu Wei returned to Montreal, the news of "A True Story" winning the award spread back to China. Although it was not an important award, major portals still gave it face and reported it one after another.

"Boss, the main cast of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" has been decided, and it is expected to start filming after the new year."

"Okay, then you must keep a close eye on the project and don't make any mistakes."

A week after winning the award, Gu Wei, who was filming in Montreal, received a phone call from Wang Chen reporting on the award.

"By the way, boss, Liu Yifei rushed to Tangren Company from the Tianlong crew and auditioned for the female lead."

When Gu Wei heard this, he slapped his forehead. He had been so busy filming that he had forgotten about this matter.

“How was the audition?”

Gu Wei asked.

"Director Li Guoli is a little hesitant and is still considering this matter."

"Let's choose her. Please convey my meaning to Mr. Cai."

"Okay, boss."

Gu Wei hung up the phone after listening to it. Fortunately, Wang Chen reminded him that if Liu Yifei missed the role of "Zhao Linger" because of the supporting role in this movie, it would be a huge loss for her.

Gu Wei thought for a while, picked up his phone and sent a text message to Liu Yifei, telling her not to worry about the schedule, that he would arrange it himself.

As for the movie script, Gu Wei had already sent it to Liu Yifei so that she could familiarize herself with it in advance.

"Dong dong".

"Come in".

"Boss, the crew is here and they are waiting for you in the conference room."

Ryder opened the door and walked into the room, speaking directly.

Gu Wei nodded, put on his coat, and went to the hotel conference room with him.

Five minutes later, Gu Wei came to the conference room and saw that all the actors were sitting there except the main creative staff of the crew. He nodded unconsciously.

"Everyone, the filming in Montreal is about to end."

"In two days, we will set off for New York."

"Tom, notify the other actors in the crew and ask them to arrive in New York on time. We will start shooting as soon as we arrive."

Gu Wei glanced at the people present and spoke slowly.

"No problem, director."

Tom took a sip of coffee and replied.

"How about contacting the Manhattan Public Library? We need to go in early to set up the scene."

"Director, everyone has been contacted and you can come in at any time."

A crew member said.

The meeting lasted half an hour, with Gu Wei speaking most of the time, and the people present nodding in agreement from time to time.

In the next two days, Gu Wei arranged for the crew members to leave early and rush to New York first.

There are only a few shots left in the Montreal filming mission, and not many people are needed to stay on site.

Domestic time January 2003, 1.

Tianlong City, Dali, Yunnan Province.

The crew of "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" celebrated the wrap day today.

"I announce that the Tianlong crew has officially wrapped up filming today."

The bearded man held a megaphone and announced loudly.

Suddenly, there was a cheer from the audience. After nearly half a year of filming, the day of completion finally came.

"Director, thank you for your care during this period."

Liu Yifei came to the bearded man and said to him.

"Are you heading straight to Hollywood?"

The bearded man looked at Liu Xiaoli and others behind Liu Yifei. The accompanying staff were all carrying luggage.

"Yes, director, the flight tickets have been booked and we will leave in the afternoon."

Liu Yifei replied.

"Thank you Director Zhang for your care during this period. Director Gu is waiting for Yifei to join the crew."

Liu Xiaoli also said something.

"Haha, don't be polite. Just be careful on the road. I won't see you off."

The bearded man said generously that he was happy to see Liu Yifei starring in a Hollywood movie, and it would also be good for Tianlong's later publicity.

"Goodbye, Director Zhang."

"Goodbye, director."

After saying goodbye to the bearded man, the two men rushed to the airport with their entourage.

"Sissi, have a nice trip."

Su Chang sent Liu Yifei and others to the airport and said to her.

"Hehe, Changchang, I'll come play with you after I finish filming."

Liu Yifei held her hand, reluctant to say goodbye.

The two met on the set of The Story of a Noble Family. Su Chang was able to star in Tian Long thanks to Liu Yifei's recommendation. The two are of the same age and often play together besides filming. During this time together, they have forged a deep friendship.

"Xixi, let's go in, it's time to board the flight."

"Changchang, you should go back too, and drive slowly."

Liu Yifei and her mother walked towards the entrance, looking back at Su Chang from time to time.

.........

The New York Public Library, located in Manhattan, New York City, also known as the Manhattan Public Library, is the largest municipal public library in the United States.

The library was established in 1895 by the merger of the Astor Library, the Lennox Library and the Tilden Trust, and its funding comes mainly from donations.

The palace-style building, completed in 1911, has a neoclassical style and is also one of the important filming locations for the movie "The Day After Tomorrow".

January is the coldest month in New York City. Temperatures range from -12°C to 4°C, usually hovering around 3°C.

Monteria is approximately 3555 kilometers from New York, which is approximately 2209.12 miles or 1920 nautical miles. If you take a plane, it will take at least 3 hours to get there.

On January 1, Gu Wei and the crew took a flight from Montreal directly to New York Airport.

New York Airport.

"Boss, it's so warm here compared to Montreal."

After getting off the plane, Reid sighed.

Gu Wei nodded. He could clearly feel that although it was the coldest month of the year in New York at this time of year, it was still warm compared to Montreal.

"I suddenly miss the beaches in Hawaii. I never want to go to Montreal again in my life."

Gu Wei listened to Reid's complaints without saying anything. The group walked out of the exit and rushed to the hotel.

In the hotel room, Gu Wei took the mobile phone and looked at the flight information sent by Liu Yifei. The time difference between New York and China is about 13 hours, and they will arrive at the New York airport tomorrow morning.

Gu Wei sent a text message to Liu Yifei, but waited for a while but didn't receive a reply, probably because she was on the plane.

　The three teams are pretty good looking.
