The nomination list for this Golden Globe Awards is both unexpected and actually predictable.
LMS has gone through the crisis and has shown great power, winning 7 nominations for Best Picture and Best Director in Music/Comedy, and leading the list with Brokeback Mountain, which also won 7 nominations, followed by 4 nominations for "Good Night, Good Luck".
Ye Wei became the youngest nominee in history for the Best Director Award, not just Golden Ball, but all professional awards.
Date of birth: February 19, 1988
Nomination date: December 13, 2005
Age: 17 years and 297 days
Year: 2005
The record is undoubtedly broken. As for the Golden Globes, the youngest was French director Claude Lerush. This was the source of the source until 1966. He was nominated for his famous masterpiece "A Man and A Woman" which combines director, screenwriter, producer, photography and editing. He was 29 years old at that time.
Now that his record for 39 years has been refreshed, and an incredible number has been mentioned in one fell swoop, he has become the second place.
The original second George Lucas, who was 29 years old but more than a hundred days later, was nominated for his famous work "American Style Painting", and he became the third.
These two directors, one is a household name father of Star Wars and the other is an important figure in new-style films, were once hailed as geniuses, and only now have a new definition.
However, if you look at all the awards, 17 is still far from being a person. In 1980, Rick Skrud won the Best Newcomer Actor Award for his amazing debut in "The Heart of the World" at the end of the world, he was only 9 years old; in 1999, Heley Joe Osmon nominated for Best Supporting Actor for "The Sixth Sense of the Supernatural".
Both of them are now in danger of record! Because Abigil Bryslin was shortlisted for the Best Supporting Actress at the age of 9, he has broken Osmon's record.
"The youngest (tempt ngest)" is a must-use word for media around the world to report this list, as well as words such as genius, prodigy, and viy.
"wow!" and "amazing!" are words that movie fans have to use when commenting. Comment boards in Yahoo News and other places are full of people's amazement:
pbaifox praised: "Before watching LMS, I would think that this is the guise, but now I think Viy deserves it. He is a good genius!" Jounds sighed and said: "Does this mean we will spend our entire life watching Ye Wei's movies? I am 26 years old, and I don't think he will die earlier than me."
Ma2000 made a bunch of exclamation marks and "I love this guy", and nessrevorc said to the post: "Do you see how handsome his nomination photos are? I guess the girls are crazy, and Ye Wei can satisfy them everything." Linguisti was quite teasing: "To be honest, I hate Ye Wei. He made me like a 50-year-old loser who lives with my mother. I am 20 years old! But I love his movies, really."
Of course not everyone blesses this, especially in some conservative and right-leaning media websites, either just mention it, or raise questions and ridicule, or even describe it as another amateur performance of the Golden Globes. How could David Cronenberg, Allen Woody and others not be nominated, and a 17-year-old child has it?
And on the Chinese Internet, the media and movie fans are all joking, which is really a huge joy!
Although the controversy is in place, this year is still great. Two of the best foreign language films are from China, "Kung Fu" and "Wuji".
"Kung Fu" is well said by audiences around the world; "Wuji" has not been released yet, and its evaluation in the Western critics is pretty good. The Golden Ball judges highly praised the Chinese martial arts craze that has emerged in recent years, from "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" (finally won the award), "Hero", and "Wuji", all have nominated.
There are many Chinese elements, and Ang Lee and Ye Wei are there, which is the biggest Chinese element!
This news became the headlines of portals such as Sina.com. Due to the time difference, Asia was on the night of the 13th. The good news made the movie fans and fans collectively blew up, witnessing Brother Wei’s creation of history!
In many forums, posters and other places, there were celebration posts such as "Spread flowers and build buildings for Brother Wei!", and in a short time, they were so excited that Weimi was very high. There were also various secret posts, popular science posts, news collection posts, and prediction posts...
On the English network, supporters' enthusiasm gathers on blogs, tubes and other social outlets. People love young heroes, and Viy's success is exciting!
But the Golden Globe Award is not the ultimate prize of the film industry, but the Oscars are. Ye Wei and LMS are undoubtedly a big step towards the Oscars. The nomination of the Golden Globe is a huge advertisement. Now, the 6,000 peers with Oscar votes in their hands cannot not know who Ye Wei is even living in the Stone Age.
Some people must have never seen LMS before. Now out of curiosity, they will take a try-in DVD. If you take a good shot, you will choose it! Some people will continue to not watch it, but "The Golden Ball judges said it should be good, that should be good", choose it! This is a major advantage.
The Golden Globe Awards Dinner will be held on January 16 next year; and the Oscars will announce the nomination list on January 31 next year and will be held on March 5 next year.
The youngest Oscar nominee for Best Director is John Singleton, 24 years and 44 days, 1991
There are 6 people under the age of 30, the second place: Orson Wells, 26 years and 279 days, 1941
Third place: Kenneth Branav, 29 years and 66 days, 1989
Fourth place: Claude Lerush, 29 years and 113 days, 1966
Fifth place: m-Knight Shamalan, 29 years and 193 days, 1999
Sixth place: George Lucas, 29 years and 281 days, 1973
If Ye Wei is nominated for the Oscar by then, Shamalan's Asian record will be unsecured, Singleton's minority record will be unsecured, and everyone will not be protected, 17 years and 346 days.
There is still some time since now, everything has not been settled, and no weather vane is 100% accurate, and the Oscar battle has not officially begun.
But viy is already purple!
With his two major nominations for director and producer, his new project has received greater attention. Which one will it be?
"Fantasy Elf Event Thin"? "My Grand Gay Wedding"? "Cute Bones"?...
...
For Lionsgate, I was not very happy today. "Crash" only had two nominations for Best Supporting Actor and Best Screenwriter, but failed to enter the competition for Best Film in the Drama category. This is really not the goal of Jon Felheimer and others, although it was expected.
"Crash" was released early. In May, it is almost forgotten now. There is no topic or attention. The evaluation is not as good as the sky. The freshness of rotten tomatoes is only 75%.
Regardless of the considerations, business or film, there is a reason why the Golden Ball judges don't choose it.
But the public relations operations of Oscars and Golden Ball are not the same. The 6,000 judges are all industry insiders and have greater consideration for the movie. Lionsgate firmly believes that continuing to distribute DVDs well, so that more judges can truly watch this movie, be truly impressed, and become the largest number among the contestants. The complete Oscar-flavored "Crash" will definitely perform.
Ye Wei's harvest made the Lion Gate happy. Now it is a community of interests, and finally waited!
On this day, Lionsgate Films made a hot strike to announce a new situation to the outside world, and Ye Wei joined the production team of the new version of "The Witch Carrie"!
"He will stare at this project, and important matters will be carried out under his control." Jon Filheimer personally told the Hollywood Reporter with joy. "The old version of "The Witch Carrie" is a classic, and we believe that its new version will shine a whole new light in Viy's hands."
Stephen King told Variety Show: "It's been 30 years since the first version of Carrie, and the new generation of young people have no chance to watch this story in the theater. It's time to shoot a new version. Viy's "Exorcist Video" touched me. His talent is exactly what the new version needs. I look forward to this collaboration with him."
The two talked like Ye Wei agreed to direct, but this was indeed not very accurate news about his new project.
Of course, the media reported that Car Rie and Viy both attracted attention, and either of them would be an important horror film project. The public's eyes are really attracted. In the eyes of horror film fans, Yunik Kule fans, and people who love thriller, horror, and cults, this is better news than Viy's nomination for Golden Ball!
The fans were excitedly discussing: "Kuler, direct it!", "I want to watch Viy's horror movie!", "Will Nina Dubov play Carrie?"...
The old version of Carrie is so classic, with Rotten Tomatoes being 92% and 76% respectively. The new version of production, directing, editing, acting, and work will not be easy.
There has been no new screen version for many years, and one of the main reasons is that the old version is difficult to surpass. Genius brings people confidence, but horror movie fans may not be able to realize their wishes, because there are too many projects to hand over to director Ye Wei to director Ye!
Previously, six major studios sent invitations to Ye Wei, and Disney invited a supporting role to star in "Pirates of the Caribbean 3". It's really just that?
On this day, when the Viy craze once again set off a huge wave, Disney finally showed its trump card! The Lions Gate was unfortunately stolen from the limelight.
Disney has unveiled an amazing new project: Snow White and the Seven Monks.
"We have been planning this project for three years," Disney's official spokesman Heidi Trota told the media, "This will be a magical action live-action movie that combines Eastern and Western styles."
According to her, the first draft of the script has been written, and the story only adopts the framework of fairy tales, which took place in China at the end of the 19th century.
A rich British girl who grew up in Hong Kong was persecuted by her stepmother and had to flee to the mainland. During her wandering, she met seven Shaolin monks. She learned that she was destined to fight against evil demons, so she bravely accepted the mission. With the preaching and help of the monks, she learned a lot of kung fu and defeated the evil forces.
This project really shocked the media. There are many movies with "Snow White" theme, but the influential ones that have been released in theaters are Disney's 1937 cartoons. Although they have been re-released over the years, it has been almost 70 years since then.
Anyone can shoot Grimm's fairy tale, but not everyone can shoot it in big productions. Now Disney is finally going to shoot the live-action version of Snow White, but it is going to make a female version that combines East and West?
It's very incredible! This is Snow White, this is Disney. Think about the movie being really made, what will the Snow White in Disney theme parks become?
But isn't this the selling point? At least it's unexpected.
"The Chinese market, the Asian market is becoming more and more important," said Heidi Trota. "Chinese elements will help us open up this emerging market."
She also revealed that this is a high-budget project, meaning at least 100 million US dollars. She has been talking to Yuan Heping's team, known as the world's number one martial arts commander in the past two years. Due to the script issue, Yuan Heping will still serve as the martial arts director of the project.
"It was not until recently that we discovered that Ye Wei was the perfect director candidate." Trota also announced that the company was inviting Ye Wei to direct the project, and she praised it: "He has the ability to integrate Eastern and Western cultures. His fluent English and Mandarin can communicate directly with filmmakers from both places. He knows how to make it so that young audiences and family audiences like it, but he can shoot the story in depth. Perhaps no one in the world is more suitable than him."
"Snow White and the Seven Monks" are of course much more eye-catching than "The Witch Carrie".
God! Snow White is playing kung fu? The fans are really furious: "This is a bit weird." "Will you play the monk if you shoot viy?" "The question is who plays Snow White?"...
In the eyes of the media, this actually has great potential, or Disney never makes a fool of itself with 100 million yuan. The image of "Snow White" is too deeply rooted in people's hearts and means too old-fashioned. The live-action version is not necessarily attractive to the fairy tale style.
Snow White, Kung Fu elements, Oriental story background, Chinese filming, high budget, Disney with great business...
This project suddenly caught up and even surpassed "Fantasy Elf Event Thread" and became the most advantageous leader in Ye Wei's battle.
The only disadvantage is the grudge between Disney and DreamWorks, but what is the matter with Ye Wei? Friendship? Now that DreamWorks have been sold, anything can happen!
Chapter completed!
