Rebirth In Hollywood

"Is it true? I didn't dream, did I? Look what a wonderful thing God has done."

Raising the golden man vigorously, Ryan started the award-winner's indispensable speech, "First of all, I would like to thank the academy for not letting me wait until the day when my hair turns gray..."

This well-meaning joke immediately brought bursts of laughter and applause. Many people knew that if it wasn't for the age barrier, maybe he should have gotten this golden statue a few years ago.

"Thank you to the three people I have met in my life, you are the best and the best." "Fiction" The novel chapters are updated the fastest

The long testimonials are always unpleasant. After looking at Charlize who was also staring at him, Ryan speeded up his speech, "I want to thank too many people, it's better to thank some of them in public than to thank them in public. Let me give each of them a private thank you!"

"I want to thank everyone who contributed to this film, whether they contributed a piece of paper, a painting, a dance, a prop, a scene of comedy or a piece of music, I would like to thank them every time. Everyone who contributed to the film shared our experiences!"

In the end, Ryan said in a very serious tone, "If there is no movie, I think this world will be an uninhabitable wasteland."

"thank you all!"

After speaking, he walked off the stage.

In fact, before the Oscars began, Ryan had George and Lisa ready to mail a memento to everyone who participated in "Gladiator" should they win.

When he came back, he gave high fives to those who took the initiative to reach out, and Ryan sat back in his seat.

"Great testimonial." Charlize hugged again.

"From now on..." Letting go of the South African Diamond, Ryan jokingly whispered, "Charlie, you should think about what to say next year."

"Not until the last minute." Charlize took out what Ryan often said. "Nothing will happen to anyone."

Because of the absence of Sam Mendes, bad boy Sean Penn became the best director presenter. Without any extra words, the nomination list was read out directly.

"Ridley Scott, Gladiator, Ang Lee, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Stephen Dedley, Billy Elliott, Stephen Soderbergh, The Drug Network, and Women's War. ."

The spotlight was on Ridley Scott and Stephen Soderbergh,

The other two directors are not competitive, either in terms of qualifications or otherwise, and despite the occasional upset at the Oscars, best director rarely appears.

"Stephen Soderbergh, The Drug Network!"

Ridley Scott already has an Oscar for best director statuette. And Stephen? Soderbergh is a double nominee, the choice of the college is not unexpected.

So far, "Drug Network" has won four statuettes among the five nominations, and "Gladiator" and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" have also won four statuettes. The meaning of this year's Oscars is particularly obvious.

According to the Oscar tradition, the film that wins the best director often wins the best picture, and "Drug Network" has the upper hand in the attribution of the last award.

After Steve Martin made a few jokes about Catherine Zeta Jones. The husband of the British actress, veteran actor Michael Douglas, was on the stage for the best picture award.

"Hollywood produces a large number of excellent films every year. Last year, there were also many films with good reputation and box office. How much did "Drug Network" have at the box office? One hundred million US dollars? "Gladiator". Still saying to me, 'Oh my God, this movie is close to $300 million at the North American box office, why are Ryan Jenkins movies always selling?'"

A few more words about other nominated films. Michael Douglas said, "Let's just look at these great films and their producers, 'Gladiator' Ryan Jenkins, Ridley Scott. 'Drug Network' Mike Neville, Edward ? Swick, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" meritorious? Xu, Ann? Lee, "Chocolate" Maher Cooper..."

Ryan tucked Charlize in for Best Actor, ready to take the stage again.

"The final winner was... 'Gladiator,' congratulations to Jenkins Pictures, congratulations to Ryan, congratulations to Ridley!"

"Yes!"

Many people in the crew threw their fists, and in the sound of congratulations, Ryan and Ridley Scott walked onto the stage.

After taking over the golden figure handed over by Michael Douglas, Ryan took the initiative to step aside. The limelight that should have been shown has already come out. Although the best picture is awarded to the producer, the present moment should belong to Ridley S. kot.

Having been a first-line director for more than 20 years, and having won the best director himself, Ridley Scott, who has grown old and mature, just said a few clichés, followed behind Ryan and walked off the stage together.

"Wow, another one."

After everyone's congratulations, Charlize came over, and Ryan shoved the little golden figure to her, "Honey, this one costs money."

This is not a joke. According to the selection rules related to the Oscars, the winner of an award can only receive one trophy. If two people win an award together, they should each be awarded a trophy. , and the extra trophies are charged at the original price.

Of course, the value of the statuette itself is not high, and the production cost is only three hundred and fifty dollars.

This year's Oscars also came to an end. Although "Gladiator" only got five of the twelve nominations, it won the heavyweight best picture and best actor in the bag, especially Ryan He finally became the youngest Oscar winner. Facts have proved that on the basis of ensuring the quality of the film, a series of public relations are extremely effective.

Similarly, tonight is also the biggest victory for a Chinese-language film at the Oscars. "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" won four golden statuettes. No matter what the core idea of ​​the film is, it carries the halo of the Oscar's best foreign language film and can go to the other side of the Pacific Ocean. Make money.

This movie with a total cost of more than 30 million US dollars has already received more than 100 million US dollars at the box office in North America, but who will let go of the opportunity to make more money?

With such a laborious public relations, Ryan is not just for this Chinese movie to get a few golden statuettes.

After the routine group photo, Ryan and the others showed up on time at the Vanity Fair celebration party at the Hilton Beverly Hills Hotel as agreed in advance. Even if he wasn't the best actor, he was one of the centerpieces of the party. , not to mention that this time another layer of halo has been added.

All kinds of congratulations sounded continuously from the moment Ryan stepped into the banquet hall. Even though Charlize Theron always held his arm, there were still some female stars who took the opportunity of shaking hands to write one by one. The note for the phone number was handed over.

"If you want to go, just pretend I don't exist."

Of course, Ryan wouldn't take the South African diamond's wrong words seriously. He raised his glass to Johnny Depp in front of him and took a sip of soda before saying, "Don't forget, my dear, tonight It's a moment for both of us."

"Hey, Harvey."

When the big fat man passed by, Ryan stopped him and touched the cup, "Congratulations on our victory!"

The two laughed tacitly, and Harvey Weinstein mentioned something else, "Sony Records wants to sign Taylor."

"They actually found you as a lobbyist?" Ryan thought for a while, "Let's wait until Alison grows up to make his own decisions."

The Vanity Fair parties in recent years have become more and more mixed. Ryan didn't plan to stay here any longer. After greeting a few familiar people, he found Tina Brown and was about to leave.

"Charlie..." Just as they were leaving, the editor-in-chief of Vanity Fair suddenly turned to Ryan's side, "Are you interested in being on the cover of Vanity Fair?"

"This..." Charlize hesitated for a moment, showing a self-deprecating smile, then pointed to the slightly plump face, "My current image..."

"Then we'll wait for you to finish shooting the new movie."

Tina Brown is not a fool, as Charlize Theron frequently appears on the red carpet with Ryan in his arms, it will definitely become the focus of quite a lot of people.

Even if it is not a popular actress in Hollywood, standing by Ryan's side has become the most popular actress.

Just as Ryan thought, the party was full of business flavors, and there were a lot of up-and-coming people who tried their best to squeeze in here to find the right opportunity.

"Hello, Ryan."

Before leaving the banquet hall, Ryan met someone who recommended himself, "My name is Paul Anderson, and I am a writer and director."

The name of the other party was very familiar. Ryan looked at the tall guy, who was in his thirties at most. Most directors of this age were still in the middle and lower ranks of Hollywood.

"What's the matter?" Ryan nodded to Charlize, motioning her to wait a moment.

"I heard that Jenkins Pictures is looking for a director to turn your Resident Evil into a movie."

Opportunities are extremely rare in this circle. Paul Anderson is a typical Westerner, and he doesn't hide his intentions at all. "I think I will be the right person."

Hearing the other party mention "Resident Evil", Ryan remembered who he is. Isn't this the real husband of Alice in the previous life, the director of this series?

"Well……"

Nodding, Ryan took him out of the banquet hall and walked towards the elevator, "You have five minutes to talk about your vision for the adaptation of the movie."

The young director was obviously prepared. From the moment he entered the elevator, he started talking incessantly. When he reached the parking lot, Ryan raised his hand to interrupt him.

"Paul, tomorrow you go to Jenkins Pictures and find Ms. Stewart, you will be one of the candidates we consider."

In other words, it seems that he came together with Milla Jovovich because of this series, right?

Ryan was still thinking about it when we got in the car, and look, I put this pair together again, so...well, I'm kind of a good guy. (To be continued...) ()
