Rebirth In Hollywood

The lights came on, and the tidal wave of applause completely drowned the entire theater. The industry insiders sitting in the first few rows walked to the first row of the crew to send their congratulations, especially the tall and beautiful woman. A performance that broke through the image.

"Congratulations, Nicole, your portrayal of the characters is simply amazing."

"Very good show, Miss Kidman."

"This character is still alive and kicking in my head now, and I think she will create miracles..."

Congratulatory voices like this are incessant, although some are polite, but they always reflect the actual situation. Nicole, like the rest of the crew, shook hands with these people one by one, and kept saying "thank you".

Ryan stood quietly outside the crowd, watching all this, now is Nicole's moment, and he doesn't need to go in there.

"Are you sure?" Antonia Kidman asked thoughtlessly.

"100% is absolutely impossible, 60% is always there." Ryan shook his head with a smile, even if all the work is in place, luck is also an indispensable factor, "Annie, are you interested in attending the press conference?"

"It's not my movie, I'm not interested."

"Go over and say hi to Nicole and we'll get back to the car."

After the crowd dispersed, Ryan walked over to Nicole and muttered a few words, then Antonia came over, took his arm, and walked out of the theater together.

As for the press conference after the premiere, there were Nicole, Steven Soderbergh and Erin Brockovich, which was enough to attract the attention of the media and generate a lot of buzz.

Ryan and Antonia sat opposite each other in the RV. After talking about a few innocuous topics, he quickly fell into silence. Especially Ryan, thinking of this movie, began to habitually wander or think wildly.

There is no doubt that Nicole gave the most wonderful performance since her debut in "Eileen Brockovich". At least in his eyes, compared to the big mouth Zhu in the previous life, he is better than the previous life. Even if the big mouth Zhu himself is not an actor known for his acting skills, Nicole's acting skills are definitely worthy of the golden statuette. .

Apart from those external factors, this year is the best opportunity, both in terms of acting skills and qualifications. The most competitive actress has already been killed by herself in advance. Even if James Brooks is very fast, it is impossible for "Perfect" to be released a few years ago.

For Helen Hunter,

He can only say sorry, um... and Big Mouth Zhu.

Thinking of Julia Roberts, Ryan shook his head slightly, this is another character whose future has been influenced by him. But not the most influential one.

In his opinion, even Nicole Kidman was not even as good as another person, and was changed more by the butterfly effect he brought.

That man is the legendary business godfather - Steve Jobs.

Now 97 years are coming to an end. Steve Jobs, who should have returned to Apple long ago, is still tossing his next computer. After getting $50 million from the sale of Pixar, he revitalized the computer company. Although the scale is only average, it has done a good job impressive.

The success of Pixar's IPO didn't do Steve Jobs any favors. On the contrary, it made people see his decision-making mistakes again. Such behavior of selling potential stocks will only make people look down on him and think that he has treasures without knowing it.

Without Pixar as a springboard and the billion-dollar net worth it brought, of course Apple's management would not be stupid to invite him back, so Apple and Steve Jobs are still parallel lines, and there will be no intersection in the short term. trend.

What surprised Ryan most was that, even without Steve Jobs, Apple still carried out a drastic reform in 1996 and launched it this year, which is Apple's all-in-one computer.

As in the previous life, this product was very popular with the market, making Apple successfully weather the financial crisis, and the stock price also has a trend of soaring.

All of this made Ryan deeply understand one thing. The world will run as usual without Steve Jobs. Apple is still on the road of the previous life, and he also makes Scott step up. into Apple stock.

After waiting for a full hour, Nicole returned to the car. The look of exhaustion on her face was enough to prove the madness of the reporters at the press conference. The occasions where she appeared were naturally besieged by reporters and paparazzi.

…………

Another crazy night passed. Ryan opened his eyes and looked at Nicole, who was curled up in his arms. The Australian girl had raised eyebrows and a satisfied smile on the corner of her mouth, as if she was still thinking about last night in her sleep. of sweetness.

Today is the weekend, so I don't have to rush to USC to take a class. With a light mark on Nicole's forehead, Ryan got up and dressed, and after a simple wash, he came to the living room.

As always, on the second day of the premiere, Lisa always prepared relevant newspapers and magazines. Ryan took a thick stack, waved to her, and returned to the bedroom on the second floor.

"Honey, where have you been?"

When he came back, Nicole was already awake, leaning on the head of the bed, staring at the door in a daze.

"Go get something you're interested in." Ryan shook the newspaper in his hand to her and sat beside the bed.

"Can you read it to me?" Nicole turned over and didn't bother to get dressed, so she fell on Ryan's lap.

"Of course you can." Ryan smoothed out a few strands of her scattered blonde hair and warned, "The premise is to be honest and not be naughty."

"God, do you think I'm crazy?" Nicole's hand got into the duvet, frowning and rubbing something, "I was exhausted last night!"

Saying that, he turned his head and glared at the culprit.

With Ryan's thick skin, he naturally pretended not to see it, opened a newspaper, put it in Nicole's ear, and read it softly.

"This is a time when heroes are scarce, and Erin Brockovich's story is moving, wonderful and rebellious. She was uneducated, a failure in life, but with humanity and tenacity. Spirit, helped 634 plaintiffs, brought down the behemoth Pacific Gas and Electric Company, and won the highest compensation ever in a direct lawsuit - $333 million! It can be said that Erin Brockovich is the civilian hero of this era...  …”

Ryan paused and took a quick look. Most of the reviews in the paper were about the movie, so he just tossed it aside and replaced it.

"Eileen Brockovich, played by Miss Nicole Kidman, is a full-fledged hot girl, not only hot, but also direct and rude, which has caused a lot of trouble. She is a little bit coquettish, a little bit hot, a little bit Gorgeous and a little cheeky, but persistent enough, tenacious enough, kind enough, this is the most impressive female character on the big screen this year."

Listening to the comments in the newspaper, Nicole switched to a comfortable position, buried her whole face in Ryan's belly, and mumbled, "Go on, Ryan."

"Okay." Ryan changed the "Los Angeles Times" and quickly turned to the entertainment page, "Nicole Kidman's performance far exceeded our expectations, people who have seen "Eileen Brockovich" , will never forget Nicole Kidman's sincere blue eyes, her eyes are sometimes pitiful, sometimes persevering, always reaching the depths of the soul, making people can't help following her footsteps, regaining confidence , discovering self-worth, this is definitely the most successful and classic role she has created since filming."

Gently pinching Nicole's ear, Ryan threw her mischievous hand aside and opened the Washington Post.

"Gorgeous dress, rude words, and the temperament of the little people at the bottom, Erin Brockovich in the movie, it is difficult for people to associate with the image of Nicole Kidman in reality. Her excellent performance, Makes you forget you're watching a show."

"Nicole Kidman in the movie is very charming, very attractive, she almost single-handedly supported the whole play, this is a movie that belongs to Nicole Kidman, except for the lawyer. Except for Albert Fanny, those other characters, in front of her performance, are not worth mentioning at all."

"Inspirational, righteous, happy, a movie with a big heart, holding the best female character of the year, she is straightforward, hard-working, caring and full of personality, although the beautiful mouth sometimes jumps out of rude swear words, But an angel of justice, Nicole Kidman perfectly combines her own charm with the uncompromising spirit of Erin Brockovich in reality, presenting an admirable civilian hero. …”

"Obviously, in such a time period, to release such a biopic based on a true story, Jenkins Pictures must be aiming for the Oscars. After watching the film, you will actually find that Nicole Kidman is in the The performances in it are completely worthy of a golden statuette, and in terms of qualifications and acting skills, this Australian actress who has long since joined the United States is no worse than anyone else."

In just over half an hour, Ryan rummaged through the major newspapers. These media may have mixed opinions on the film, but they spoke highly of Nicole's performance in it. Most people recognized her dedication. One of the most outstanding performances since filming.

In any case, with the full release of "Eileen Brockovich", the final PR battle has begun.

"It's getting late, Nicole. It's time for breakfast." Ryan looked at the time and picked up the Australian girl in his arms. "Do you need me to carry you into the bathroom?"

"Don't!" Nicole's eyes widened suddenly, God only knew how long it would take for the two to come out after they entered together.

"Come on, don't make Annie wait too long." Ryan finally reminded after picking up the scattered newspapers.

"Um……"

Hearing Annie, Nicole suddenly remembered what she said in the car last night, "Wait, Ryan, I have something to discuss with you." ()
