Chapter 1945 1947 [Gold Medal Production]

   Entering 1997, in January, the awards season came.

   "The Shawshank Redemption" and "Leaving Las Vegas" have become the favorites to win this year's Golden Globe Awards.

  Especially Nicolas Cage, with these two films, all nominated for Best Actor. This phenomenon is extremely rare in the history of the Golden Globe Awards, so it has attracted more and more attention.

   And Xiang Nan was also shortlisted for the Best Adapted Screenplay Award for "The Shawshank Redemption", so he also attended this year's Golden Globe Awards. Accompanying him on the red carpet was Angelina Jolie who had been in contact with him before.

  Angelina Jolie was selected last year to play Daredevil's girlfriend, Elektra the Ninja, in Daredevil.

   This is also a superhero. He used to be a ninja from Tewakai, and later betrayed the organization and became a freelance killer. He has a friendly and enemy relationship with Daredevil, and he has a very personal charm.

  Angelina Jolie specially studied Kung Fu for three months in order to play this role well, so that she can be more realistic and brilliant when shooting fighting scenes.

  Xiang Nan appreciates her approach of striving for perfection. It just so happened that he was preparing to shoot his new work "The Matrix", and he just asked Julie to play the heroine.

  So today on the red carpet, he specially invited Julie to join him.

  After receiving Xiang Nan's invitation, Zhu Li immediately nodded and agreed.

  She already had feelings for Xiang Nan, and thought he was a very attractive old man. Handsome, mature and talented.

  She likes to associate with men who are older than herself, so that she can get the father's love that she lacked in her childhood.

  …

  The two walked the red carpet hand in hand.

  Julie's wild temperament has attracted a lot of attention.

  But people are still relatively unfamiliar with her. After all, her most successful work now is "The Gang of Evil Girls", and she plays a supporting role.

   Therefore, when she walked through the red carpet and came to the interview area, the host didn't recognize her, "Charles, this beautiful woman with personality beside you is..."

   "Angelina Jolie, the heroine of my new film." Xiang Nan introduced with a smile.

   "I see. Can you reveal some information about the new film?" The host asked curiously. The interest in Xiang Nan's new film is obviously much higher than that of Julie.

   This made Julie both helpless and depressed.

   "The new film will be a sci-fi film, I dare say it will subvert everyone's imagination." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "I am absolutely confident in this."

  Hearing what Xiang Nan said, the host became excited, "Then we have to wait and see."

  …

   Subsequently, the Golden Globes officially began.

   "The Shawshank Redemption" was shortlisted for eight awards. Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Cinematography, Best Editing, Best Soundtrack, Best Supporting Actor, Best Actor, Best Director, Best Film... Almost all heavyweight awards were shortlisted.

   "Leaving Las Vegas" is not far behind. Best Original Screenplay, Best Soundtrack, Best Editing, Best Actor, Best Film... also shortlisted for five awards.

   But they are not without competitors. The English Patient, directed by Anthony Minghella and starring Ralph Fiennes and Juliette Binoche, was also nominated for seven awards, one less than The Shawshank Redemption.

   Moreover, the word-of-mouth of this movie is quite good, and the probability of winning the award is also quite high, so Xiang Nan is not yet sure of winning.

   After the awards ceremony began, the awards were awarded one after another.

  Xiang Nan didn't pay much attention to the awards. After all, he already won a lot of awards, so it doesn't matter if one more or one less.

  Most of the time, he was chatting with the people around him. He didn't realize he had won the Golden Globe for Best Adapted Screenplay until the award presenter Madonna called out his name.

"Thank you, thank you to the judges for your love, thank you to the fans for your support, and thank you to all the crew members of "The Shawshank Redemption". It is your dedication that makes this script perfectly presented, so this trophy also belongs to you." Xiang Nan Immediately, he went to the stage to accept the trophy and delivered his acceptance speech.

   "It's all you, it hurt me." When receiving the trophy from Madonna, Xiang Nan also heard her underestimate.

   It turned out that a few years ago, Xiang Nan invested in the production of "Bodyguard", and the heroine in it was a singer, so Madonna recommended herself to play the role.

   As a result, Xiang Nan used her counterpart Whitney Houston, and the movie really exploded. Not only has it gained a very good reputation, but it has also earned hundreds of millions of dollars at the box office.

  The success of the movie made Whitney Houston's popularity skyrocket, and made Madonna even more depressed. For this reason, she paid a sum of money herself, and made a film "The Scary Love".

   But I didn't expect that after the movie was released, Madonna not only failed to get the expected acclaim, but was criticized by the industry for ruining the movie.

   Criticize her for only knowing how to show off her sexuality, but she didn't put more effort into acting. Not only did she fail to express the emotions of the characters, she even couldn't speak the lines well, just like elementary school students who read texts without any emotion.

  As a result, almost all of the tens of millions of dollars Madonna paid was in vain. She was ashamed and angry, but there was nothing she could do, so she had to vent her anger on Xiang Nan.

  If he decided to let himself be the heroine, why would he bother.

   Fortunately, Xiang Nan didn't pay attention to what she said, so it didn't affect the good mood of winning the award.

  …

   Afterwards, "The Shawshank Redemption" was in full swing, winning the three awards of Best Supporting Actor, Best Actor, and Best Feature Film one after another, becoming the biggest winner tonight.

  Unfortunately, the best director award was won by the director of "The English Patient", Anthony Minghella, which became the biggest regret tonight.

  Subsequently, the television awards were presented together, and the results of the awards made countless people exclaim.

  The original award for best drama series was once again won by "X-Files". Its leading actors, David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson, also won the award for best actor and actress in a drama category.

  The award for the best drama series in the comedy category was won by "Crooked Stars Hit the Earth" produced last year. Moreover, the best actor in a comedy category was also won by John Lithgow, the star of "Crooked Stars Hit the Earth".

   And these two dramas are all invested and produced by Xiang Nan.

   This almost grand slam winning method shocked everyone on the scene.

   "How lucky is he to be able to do this?"

   "The best drama film, the best drama series, the best comedy series... He actually invested in all of them. It's really lucky."

   "It's luck, but it's actually his strength."

  People sighed in succession.

   It was difficult to win one of the awards, but Xiang Nan won three in one go. Whether it is luck or eyesight, in short, it is enough to make people enviable.

   And such achievements have also made the reputation of Xiangnan's gold medal producer even louder.
