    The last Golden Globe award was taken away by "The Aviator", and Weinstein became the biggest winner of the night, which also announced the end of the Golden Globe Awards ceremony.  After the awards are presented, the banquet can finally begin.  The Golden Globe awards are broadcast live, and it is impossible to award awards while eating. Try to think about it, Leonardo bites steak in front of the camera, and Theron gnaws chicken legs in front of the camera. What kind of scene is that, and the image is amazing.  Words?  After the awards are given, the live broadcast is over.  The atmosphere in the entire banquet hall was completely relaxed. Many people got up and started walking around. The winners congratulated each other, and the frustrated ones started drinking and even went to the smoking area to smoke.  Cheng Peng only knew one or two of these big Hollywood stars. He had no friendship at all, and he had no idea of ??chatting with anyone. ??????????????????????????????????????????????????? However, this time I was able to win the Sony Classics Award with great efforts. Cheng Peng definitely had to express his gratitude in person, so he took Tong Lixi to find Michael Bakker and expressed his gratitude in person.  Public relations for the Oscars and Golden Globe Awards are very important. When Chen Kaige's "Farewell My Concubine" lost to "My Lover", it was because Chen Kaige thought he was determined and did not go to public relations; the same goes for "Saving Private Ryan".  Pierberg thought he was sure to win and did not put any effort into public relations, while Miramax spent 5 million on public relations for "Shakespeare in Love". In the end, "Shakespeare in Love" had the last laugh.  Michael Buckel seemed happy, because winning the Golden Globe Award will increase the box office, and DVD and TV rights will sell better, but he still has some regrets: "It's a pity that the movie was not registered for the Oscar, otherwise it would definitely have won it.  Nomination. There is still a lot of hope for winning the award." Cheng Peng also felt a little regretful: "I can't help it." Cheng Peng and Tong Lixi had a few words with Michael Bakker.  I returned to my seat and chatted slowly with the people at the same table.  While they were chatting happily, Harvey Weinstein came over and greeted Cheng Peng with a smile: "Dear Cheng, you are here. Congratulations on winning the Golden Globe Award!" "Thank you, Harvey. You are a great person tonight.  It¡¯s a great harvest, and I heard seven or eight people saying thank you to Harvey when they gave their acceptance speeches.¡± Harvey Weinstein laughed: ¡°I¡¯ve prepared a party, do you want to come to it?  ?" Cheng Peng smiled and shook his head. He had no interest in such a messy party: "I won't do it. I haven't recovered from the jet lag yet. I want to have a good rest!" Weinstein shrugged and said, "What a pity.  , there are many beautiful women waiting to meet you, it would be a pity if you don¡¯t go!¡± After the dinner, Cheng Peng and Tong Lixi came out of the Hilton Hotel, and a large group of reporters looked like hungry wolves.  They immediately gathered around me, mostly domestic reporters.  Cheng Peng and Tong Liyi were both shocked.  When the red carpet started, there were not many domestic reporters at all. Why did so many people show up all of a sudden?  However, Cheng Peng was in a good mood and did not refuse the interview. He kept a slight smile on his face: "It's already very late, won't everyone take a rest?" The reporters were overjoyed when they heard this. They knew that Cheng Peng was willing to be interviewed.  A reporter asked: "Director Cheng, congratulations on winning the Best Foreign Language Film Award. Do you have anything to say to the domestic audience?" Cheng Peng smiled and said: "Movies are made for the audience, and the audience likes them.  The best reward is a higher honor than all awards! Thank you for your support. Your support is the motivation for me to move forward! " "Director Cheng, you won the Golden Globe Award but did not get the opportunity to participate in the Oscars.  Are you sorry? " Cheng Peng glanced at the reporter and thought to himself, "This is trying to trick me. You don't have to worry about scolding Radio and Television. He can't control you anyway, but he can control me!"  He smiled and said: "I think I am already very lucky. I am very, very lucky to be able to win such an award and receive so much recognition for my first film. When I think about other things, I feel a little unpopular!  In fact, as a director, it doesn¡¯t matter whether it¡¯s a Golden Globe or an Oscar. Making good-looking movies and making movies that the audience likes is what I pursue.¡± ¡°Director Cheng, congratulations on winning the award. Many directors have won.  The Oscars and Golden Globes will use this as an opportunity to enter Hollywood. Do you have any plans? " "I don't have this idea for the time being. Cultural differences are really difficult to overcome. I am not Ang Lee and have no experience of living in the United States.  There are many things that I can¡¯t understand, such as the characters¡¯ language habits, logical thinking, etc. If I don¡¯t understand these things, I won¡¯t be able to direct the actors¡¯ performances, and maybe there will be problems in the movie one day, but now I still want to make a Chinese-language film!¡±  "Director Cheng, has the new film been confirmed? Who are the actors and what is the subject?" "A few days ago I wore??Armor Recording Program, I said at the time that the new film is about Da Qin. If you don¡¯t believe it, you all think that I am hyping up "Dark Invasion".  In "Hero" directed by Zhang Yimou, the King of Qin has a line, "I will lead the cavalry of Qin to conquer a great world."  However, the movie shows the bows and arrows of the Qin Dynasty, and the cavalry is not shown. I want to try it!  " The best foreign language film is just a small award, and it is generally difficult to arouse the interest of North American audiences. However, Cheng Peng's movie "Dark Invasion" has a box office of more than 10 million U.S. dollars, and it is very young, so it has attracted a lot of attention. And in China  The media is completely in a state of shock, almost like crazy. Almost all media are reporting with large headlines "The birth of a genius, Cheng Peng wins the Golden Globe Award!"  " "The youngest director to win the Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film, Chinese, Cheng Peng!  " "On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of Chinese film, Cheng Peng presents a Golden Ball gift!  " "Cheng Peng challenged Zhang Yimou to show the Great Qin Cavalry on the screen!  " Of course, while applauding Cheng Peng, the media also slapped the Broadcasting and Television. Cheng Peng's film won two of the three major Oscar contests, but the Radio and Television did not send Cheng Peng's film to participate.  Instead, the Oscar was given to "House of Flying Daggers", which was hailed as a bad movie. If I don't draw it now, articles will be like a dagger piercing the radio and television.  . I¡¯m afraid that it would have died under the sniping arrows of the media. At this time, the broadcasting company really regretted it. If ¡°The Two of Us¡± had been sent, I can¡¯t say that it would have won the Oscar, but it would definitely have been nominated like this.  , if "House of Flying Daggers" doesn't get nominated, they really can't explain it. Therefore, many people are silently thinking, Yimou, you have to work hard, you must get the nomination!  Peng's fans are even more crazy. The posts in the forum are refreshing at a crazy speed. "Boss, you are great. You will definitely win more awards in the future. Win all the awards!"  " "Fuck radio and television, if our boss is ranked for the Oscar, he will definitely win the award.  Why send the bad movie "House of Flying Daggers"?  " "Boss, I'm looking forward to your new movie. I also like Da Qin!  "The next morning, Tong Lixi took a plane back to China, but Cheng Peng was not in a hurry to return. In the evening, Cheng Peng called Zhao Linlin and asked, "Linlin.  Has China Film and Television settled the box office of "Dark Invasion"?  " "It has been settled. The total box office is 105 million, and our share of the box office is 33.26 million.  "The box office of "Dark Invasion" was 500,000 more than Feng Xiaogang's "A World Without Thieves", ranking third in the domestic movie box office rankings in 2004. "Kung Fu" ranked first with 160 million, and "House of Flying Daggers" with 1.5  The most depressing person is Feng Xiaogang. He, the mainland box office king, didn't even make it into the top three this time, and he also lost to a newcomer. He really can't figure out what the domestic revenue of "Dark Invasion" is.  It¡¯s over. The box office revenue is 33.26 million, the DVD copyright is 4 million, product placement, pre-roll advertising, naming fees for the premiere, audio and video copyright, and TV copyright. The total total is 35 million, and 25 million was spent on promotion and distribution.  Ten thousand, domestic revenue plus foreign copyright fees totaled 127 million. This is an amazing result. This year¡¯s hard work was not in vain. Cheng Peng nodded and said with a smile: ¡°There are still more than ten.  It's the Spring Festival today. Everyone has worked hard for a year. Let's pay everyone the money as we agreed at the beginning!  " "Why, if you don't come back, what happened?  " "There is something that needs to be dealt with, and I will stay here for a while.  You are the executive producer, so you should pay more attention to the preparations for "Myth"!  " "Put it down, I've been watching, Zhang Meng is in charge of the war drama part, and Qi Nian is in charge of the Yuezhi Kingdom part, no problem!  " "Thank you for your hard work, that's all, please contact me if you have any questions!  " After hanging up the phone, Cheng Peng thought about the problem in his mind and turned on the TV. However, the sound coming from the TV shocked him and he suddenly looked at the TV screen. " There was a middle-aged man in a suit on the TV.  He angrily criticized the camera: "Yes, I have been a screenwriter in Hollywood for thirty years and have sold several million-dollar scripts. Among them, "Little Rich" and "Mother and Son" were both good at the box office.  I have been committed to the research and development of scripts. After many years of hard work, I found that Hollywood scripts have a commonality, or a pattern. I called this pattern a node. Every Hollywood script has fifteen nodes, so I prepared to write  A book about this pattern.  A few days ago, I received a call from my friend Rick Kaplan. He told me that there was a video onlineIt made many Hollywood screenwriters go crazy. In the video, a young man described a very unique theory of script structure. It was very magical and practical. He suggested that I take a look.  When I watched that video, I was completely shocked. How could this happen? How could my fifteen-node theory be revealed by others?  God, I can't believe it!  Why did my thoughts appear in other people's videos?  I checked the young man's information and found that he was Chinese and had only made two movies.  This theory is definitely not something he can discover. Only someone who has studied scripts for decades can discover it.  This is definitely plagiarism. He plagiarized my idea. The idea of ??fifteen nodes is mine!  "The reporter asked: "Mr. Snyder, do you have evidence to prove that he plagiarized your idea?  " Blake Snyder said solemnly: "I swear to God, I sorted out the fifteen-node theory at the beginning of last year and described it to my friends, and they can vouch for me.  If Cheng Peng was a Hollywood director and grew up watching Hollywood movies, he might be able to discover the nodes. But he is Chinese, and Chinese movies are different from Hollywood movies. How could he discover the structure of Hollywood movies?  His movie "The Two of Us" was not written according to the fifteen-node theory, which is so strange!  Now that you know this theory, why not use it?  Obviously, he didn't know it at the time, but he was a shameful plagiarist!  " Cheng Peng looked at Blake Snyder talking to the camera and knew that what he was worried about had finally come true!
