Rebirth In Hollywood

"Hi Miss Sarandon. Watermark Ad Test Watermark Ad Test"

Scarlett's voice came from one side, and when Ryan looked, she was smiling and greeting Susan Sarandon, the heroine of "The End of the World", "Can we change seats?"

"sure."

This person obviously understood, after Ryan nodded to her, he took the initiative to change to Scarlett's seat at another table.

Ryan had just greeted Scarlett, and Sofia Coppola, who was sitting at the next table, also came to this table and sat beside Scarlett.

"Ryan, it's been a long time." The female director, who is becoming famous, smiled and waved to this side, "Thank you for the suggestion in the email."

"You're welcome." Ryan waved his hand indifferently, "Actually, Sophia, your thoughts are already very mature, I just made a few trivial opinions."

"Hey, hello, hello..." Scarlett approached the table, "What are you talking about? Why can't I understand."

She has worked with Sofia Coppola and is very familiar with each other.

"My new movie." Sofia Coppola explained a few words, "For the script of the new movie, Ryan and I exchanged some ideas in emails and got a lot of inspiration."

"Oh..." The girl nodded, "When will the filming start?"

"I guess it will take a while. My script hasn't been finished yet." Sofia Coppola suddenly looked over, "And I haven't found a suitable investor. The film is going to be shot in Tokyo, and I can't afford the cost. .”

"Sophia, I am very optimistic about this movie." After discussing the script with the other party, Ryan knew that the direction of the plot was almost the same as in his previous life, so he said immediately, "I can invest in this movie, but..."

With the experience of The Virgin Dies. Sofia Coppola immediately understood that this was a condition, and couldn't help but said helplessly, "Ryan, what are your conditions?"

"Same as last time." Ryan's eyes fell on Scarlett.

Sofia Coppola let out an exaggerated sigh. "It seems that we have a good understanding. The first person I thought of was also Scarlett."

It's a pity that the girl in this rebellious period obviously diverted her energy. Natalie walked in from outside the banquet hall, she stood up and waved, signaling her friend to come over quickly.

After several people greeted Natalie, they sat down again. She asked belatedly, "You seem to be discussing what role I should play? Could it be the type of Princess Mia?"

"It's Sophia's new movie." Ryan knew that Scarlett's classmate is still a literary girl. "The role is the type you like. You can talk to Sophia carefully when you have time."

Scarlett Johansson obviously believed in Ryan, nodded directly, and said to Sofia Coppola, "I will hold a yacht party in a few days. I will call you then, don't worry, it's an all-female party , I've borrowed Ryan's yacht."

talking. Still winking at this side, Ryan had no choice but to nod.

This is the award ceremony of the Golden Globe Awards, and after chatting with Natalie, Sofia Coppola returned to her table.

The red carpet outside was still going on, and a steady stream of stars walked into the banquet hall. Because there was no relationship between walking the red carpet, Ryan came earlier, chatting with Natalie and Scarlett, and chatting with the people who came over. Say hello.

"Nate, you bought a villa in North Hollywood." Scarlett pouted deliberately, "Are you planning to settle in Hollywood?"

"Scarlett..."

During this period of time, Natalie gradually regained her composure, "It is impossible for me to move here before I graduate from Harvard."

"That means we will move here in the future?" Scarlett looked very happy, "After my birthday this year, I plan to move out from home, why don't we be neighbors, and I can help you look after the house when you are away .”

"Ryan has already greeted Lisa, and Lisa will send someone to manage the villa." Natalie's eyes swept over Ryan's face, as calm as when she was a child, "If possible, you It’s better to move closer, we can still be companions in the future.”

"I remember..." Ryan looked at Natalie and tapped his forehead lightly, "It seems that a villa in front is also for sale, Scarlett, let your agent ask about it."

Most of the time, the two girls get together and whisper together. The love they grew up together makes the relationship between them far better than the previous life. It can be said that they are best friends who talk about everything.

"Hey ladies..."

Seeing the lights on the stage in front of him, Ryan gently knocked down the table, "Pay attention to your manners, the live broadcast will start soon."

The Golden Globe Awards are hosted by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association and held as a dinner party. It is a very important film and TV award in North America, and was even dubbed the Oscar weathervane by some people a few years ago.

Because the nominations for the Golden Globe Awards are usually announced in mid-December, "Gladiator", which was released before Christmas, naturally missed this award.

In fact, Ryan doesn't care much about this award. The so-called Oscar wind vane is just a wind vane, and it doesn't have much influence on the Oscar awards.

The most typical one is the Golden Globe Awards. Members of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association are not included based on their qualifications and achievements in the news industry. Members only need to publish four paid articles a year. For this request, the only penalty is to transfer this member to 'cold' status.

Many people in this association live entirely on their pensions and do not rely on news for a living. There are even some ten-year-olds among them. More than two-thirds of these so-called journalists are part-timers. Their real occupations include education. , real estate, auto and insurance sales, etc., and only occasionally writes for small foreign publishers.

It is conceivable whether the awards selected by more than 90 individuals will be affected in some way.

The famous comedian Groucho Marx once said, "If the Hollywood Reporters Association really wants me to join, I don't want to. Once I join them to participate in the Golden Globe Awards, my credibility will plummet."

In North America, it is almost common knowledge that the Golden Globes are full of shady scenes, and some members openly admit that they are more influenced by small favors and flattery, regardless of the quality of the work itself.

In recent years, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association has also been working hard to reform the association system, responding to external criticism, and stipulating that gifts are now only allowed to be champagne, bouquets and movie accessories.

However, the media is still not well received. Many mainstream media even commented on the Hollywood Foreign Press Association by saying that the judges of the Golden Globe Awards are basically idiots.

Because "Gladiator" was not nominated, Ang Lee and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" became the biggest winners in terms of movie awards tonight.

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" won three awards: Best Foreign Language Film, Best Original Music and Best Original Song, while Ang Lee won Best Director.

Jenkins Films and Weinstein Films have arguably won big when it comes to PR for Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

As for acting awards, this movie can be completely ignored.

According to the wind vane, Ang Lee is very likely to win the best director of this year's Oscars. Unfortunately, the bald man who is still smiling brightly after losing the Golden Globe is the real hot spot.

Even if there is no memory of his previous life, according to the current state of Hollywood, Ryan feels that even Ridley Scott is more likely to win the best director statuette than Ang Lee.

The Twin Towers haven't collapsed yet, and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon isn't a work that can attract a large crowd like Brokeback Mountain.

The awards were presented one after another. Ryan knew almost nothing about TV dramas. Most of the TV stars who came to accept the awards were very strange to him.

Soon, Ryan saw someone who was interested, and this year's "American Idol" champion Kelly Clarkson was the guest of honor, presenting the best TV actor in music and comedy.

That's right, this is the female singer who was taken away by Ryan. The current "American Idol" appeared ahead of schedule, and she also made her debut ahead of schedule. She still won the championship and successfully signed a contract with the record company.

In any case, she is the first champion of American Idol. Even if it is for the ratings of this show in the future, Jenkins Films and Fox TV will make great efforts to praise her. If she is willing to work hard, she will be like in her previous life. , becoming the most successful champion of American Idol is not out of the question.

Then, comes the next award, which is why Ryan is here.

"The winner of Best Supporting Actress in a Musical Comedy is..." Julia Roberts standing on the stage read out the winner's name aloud, "Natalie Portman's "The End of Grass"."

"Congratulations, Nat!"

Ryan was the first to give a hug, and Scarlett then leaned over, "Wow, Nat, you won the award."

"thanks, thanks……"

Natalie thanked director Pooh Wang and others one by one. When she finally passed in front of Ryan, she let go of her lips that had been pursed all the time, and seemed to throw away all scruples, and took the initiative to hug him gently.

"Give me back my pendant, will you?" she said softly.

Ryan didn't say anything, but just gave Natalie a reassuring look.

The only thing related to me was completed, and the three of Ryan obviously didn't focus on the stage, Natalie's smiles became more obvious, and Scarlett looked at the golden ball with some envy.

"It's just right, Nat." She whispered when the camera moved away, "Our yacht party can be your celebration party."

Seeing Ryan's eyes moving over, Scarlett immediately said vigilantly, "Although we are borrowing your yacht, Ryan, we will not invite you. This is an all-female party."

"I never said I would participate." Ryan shook his head. ()
