Director Li Da, known as the Light of Taiwan.

No, it should be the light of Chinese people.

Ang Lee has a high status in Hollywood and is definitely a top-tier director.

Looking through his fame history, in 1995, he won 7 Oscar nominations for "Sense and Emotion" and entered the ranks of Hollywood's A-level directors.

The subsequent "Ice Storm" and "Riding with the Devil" still received praise, but it did not help Lee's status improvement, because he was just an ordinary director who shot English movies, so Ang Lee released "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" in 1999.

While successfully winning the Golden Globe Award for Best Director and Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" also sold well in North America!

We know that Hollywood is a business-oriented circle. Even if you are Frank Darabont, you made "The Shawshank Redemption", and there is still no big production to look for you!

Ang Lee successfully advanced to Hollywood's top-tier director with "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

Let’s talk about the inside story of “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon”. First, it was planned by Harvey Weinstein behind the scenes. Secondly, it wisely gave up the public relations of actors, and all its energy was devoted to the director and the film!

So, I don’t thank Ang Lee!

After "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", Ang Lee challenged the big production and filmed "The Hulk", which cost 130 million yuan!

Not only did he lose the box office, but his reputation was also a mess, and he had a nasty failure!

Hollywood is very realistic. If you can’t help me make money, then get out!

Then, Ang Lee rested for two full years.

Until 2005, he filmed "Brokeback Mountain". He was very smart. He knew that subjects such as homosexuality were more popular among film festivals and Oscars!

Then, he succeeded, and Brokeback Mountain won him some honors and won the Oscar for Best Director!

Logically speaking, for the actors who have made such great sacrifices in the type of subject matter of "Brokeback Mountain", it is enough for the male lead, but the best supporting actor must be given, right?

No, whether it is Heath Ledger who plays the protagonist or Jack Gyllenhaal who plays the supporting role, even Best Supporting Actress Michel Williams won the award!

The reason is simple, just like Heath Ledger himself, ‘He did not give him any help in the filming, and he also put him aside when he was hitting the award, and he didn’t even mention him in the final award speech!’

In fact, this is true. During the entire award-winning stage, Brokeback Mountain focused all its attention on the two aspects of Best Director and Best Film.

Ironically, 2oo6's Oscar-Best Actor Philip Seymour Hoffman plays Truman Capoter, also a gay person!

Even his award speech said: "Capote shows that not all gay people are cowboys, and some are sissy New York intellectuals."

However, Ang Lee has won the best director Xiao Jinren, and he doesn't bother to care about such things and does not respond at all. He can't slap his face, what else can Heath Ledger do?

It soon ceased.

Including the 2o12 movie "Boyant Pi", Ang Lee once again gave up the actors when he was awarding the award, and Sura Shama was not nominated for an actor!

Of course, Ang Lee must have a standard. Otherwise, no matter how much public relations are, he would not be able to win the Little Golden Man twice, and he would not be able to become the number one director in the Chinese world!

An obvious example is that "Billy Lynn's Midfield War" was also directed by Ang Lee, and what about?

The investment of nearly 50000 US dollars and the promotional fee of 4000 US dollars, the total cost of about 90000 RMB, the box office in North America is more than one million, and the box office of less than 20 million US dollars worldwide is rated as the worst movie in 2016 by the Hollywood professional magazine "Variety Show"!

Is it possible for such a movie to win something at the Oscar?

...

As expected, "Dallas Buyer Club" won two actor awards, best film and best director failed.

Alfonso Caron won the Best Director Award for "Gravity", while the Best Film in the Drama category was won by "Twelve Years of a Slave".

Although he knew that he was not successful with the award, Chen Lin could not suppress his heartbeat when Johnny Depp announced the Best Picture. Of course, after he announced the Best Picture as "Twelve Years of Slave", he quickly calmed down and applauded most of the people on the scene.

No matter whether it is sincere or false, you still have the politeness you should have!

To be honest, Chen Lin has a great hope in this Golden Globe Tour. After all, he has just won the People's Choice Award in Toronto, and the reporters who have followed the report have come several times.

It’s very different from when Zhang Ziyi won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress title, and there was no reporter sent in China at all!

Several major portals have opened special topics and are ready to report in real time.

The video broadcasting rights were also bought by Nuanxun. Many fans of Chen Lin sat in front of the computer, preparing to watch the boss conquer the Americans!

Unfortunately, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment!

It would be fine if the best director is not available, after all, the competitors are too fierce, and many people know from the bottom of their hearts that Chen Lin can nominate the Golden Globe Award for the best director this time is probably due to the blessing of race.

He is not the best film, which is very depressing!

Fortunately, Matthew and Jared mentioned him when they received the award speech for the Best Actor Award, which is the best comfort!

Chen Lin was very open about the defeat of the Golden Globe Award, but Ying Bao was a little at a loss. She thought Chen Lin valued this award very much!

Especially a bunch of reports in China have almost praised Chen Lin to heaven!

The real situation is disappointing.

Chen Lin got almost nothing!

When the dinner ended, yes, the Golden Globe Awards was in the form of a dinner party. The space on site was very small, filled with dozens of round tables, and even the aisle was very narrow. If the recipient wanted to take the stage to receive the award, he had to walk sideways through the round tables.

The stage ahead is even simpler, not as grand as the annual meetings of some companies in our country.

Even the round table is filled with food, which is really something to eat!

After leaving the Hilton Hotel, domestic reporters gathered up and asked Chen Lin about questions, probably asking him what he thought about the defeat in the first Golden Globe Awards.

Chen Lin was very "candid" and said directly, "this is within his expectations." As for the Oscar nomination list half a month later, he also said very carefully that there was no chance.

The news came back to China, and many netizens said that he finally understood his strength!

‘A young director thought he had been in the United States for a few years and dared to shoot American stories. This failure is a good thing for Chen Lin, and it can make him more settled...’

‘The failure of "Dallas" once again proves my previous point of view. Once some directors who have transformed halfway through the road lose their fans’ support, they will reveal their true colors. Not everyone can do a good job in movies!’

‘Where is the place where Chen Lin is better than Guo Xiaosi? I don’t understand!’

Senior domestic filmmakers and film critics all jumped out, belittled in various ways.

In fact, those who commented on these comments have never watched "Dallas Buyer Club". They didn't even know that "Dallas"'s box office in North America has reached nearly $100 million, which is a miracle for a low-cost movie with an investment of $80,000!

Chen Lin has also become a hot commodity in the eyes of many studios.

It is completely based on your own subjective assumption that Chen Lin cannot do it!

The slap in the face came very quickly.

On January 16, 2o14, the 86th Academy Awards were announced. "Dallas Buyer Club" won a total of six nominations. In addition to the two actor awards, there are also makeup awards, best editing, and more importantly, nominations for the best film and best original script!

When the news reached China, the seniors were stunned again. A reporter asked these people with a nomination list. Some hardliners said they were not optimistic about "Dallas Buyer Club" winning the best film, and some even said that Chen Lin failed to get the best director's nomination!
Chapter completed!
