Chapter 99 Almost Single

The winners of a total of 24 awards at this year's Golden Globe Awards have been announced on the official website and Facebook page of the Golden Globe Awards at the end of the award ceremony. In an instant, press releases from various media were crowded with major portals and magazines across the United States. Newspapers and periodicals are working overtime to prepare the pages for tomorrow's new issue.

The news that "Brokeback Mountain" defeated "Sideways," "The Aviator" and "Million Dollar Baby" to become tonight's biggest winner has spread throughout North America and is rapidly spreading to other regions.

Of course, this year is no exception.

When "Brokeback Mountain" achieved so much on the night of the Golden Globes that it could almost be described as a "big win", the press release in China had some unspeakable meaning - how should this be written? Are you going to support one and step on the other?

On the one hand, no public relations release was published domestically before the selection. It’s not that people don’t want to publish it, it’s that the authorities are suppressing it: Look what kind of subject this is! Look what kind of actor is this? They are not our own actors! Can't send it, don't send it!

On the other hand, everyone is so focused on praising "Brokeback Mountain", where is the place for "House of Flying Daggers" which was originally shortlisted for Best Foreign Language Film with great fanfare and a winning mentality but failed to win? ?

In comparison, the concept of "House of Flying Daggers" is slightly weak.

Of course, there are also people who are comforting - in recent years, the Golden Globe Awards are no longer satisfied with being the "Oscar vane" and want to be "independent". The Golden Globe Awards are frustrated, which in turn means that there is hope for the Oscars!

For the upcoming Academy Awards ceremony, CCTV will also broadcast it in real time. No matter what the results are, countless Chinese people will pay attention. Whether it is "House of Flying Daggers" or "Brokeback Mountain", the former is a serious Chinese movie, while the latter is a Hollywood director with a Chinese label. After all, they are all Chinese works!

Although "Brokeback Mountain" will not be released in China and has not even confirmed any Chinese publicity plans, it does not affect the knowledgeable Chinese netizens from learning about the movie "Brokeback Mountain" through other channels.
