Chapter 468： political correctness

The next morning, Los Angeles was hit by a rare snowstorm. Neverland was covered with a thin layer of white snowflakes, and the temperature became cold almost overnight.

This is the first time snow has fallen in Los Angeles since January 1962, which is somewhat surprising.

"Unexpectedly, it will snow in Los Angeles!"

On a large and soft bed, Charlize Theron looked curiously at the snow scene outside, "I thought it only snowed in New York."

New York belongs to the cold temperate zone and suffers from blizzards almost every winter, while Los Angeles is much better with almost no blizzards.

"It's also the first time I've seen snow in Los Angeles." Looking at the snow scene outside, Ryan didn't think it was so strange.

When he was in the capital in his previous life, it snowed every winter, so he was used to it.

On the contrary, Charlize Theron, who grew up in South Africa, seemed very interested in the large snowflakes falling outside.

After watching it for a while, Charlize Theron looked away, thinking about Oscar again, "You don't plan to attend the Oscar ceremony!"

Spider-Man was also nominated for an Oscar.

Although it is only nominated for two technical awards.

"Yes." Ryan didn't want to make a trip in vain, so he was naturally not interested in attending any Oscars ceremony.

"Although I am also a member of the Academy, but those conservatives have always disliked me, and "Spider-Man" is likely to come back empty-handed."

He was a horror film director when he debuted, and then transformed into a commercial film guide, and even now he is still a commercial film director, it is difficult to get the favor of those old men.

What's more, the original "Spider-Man" did not win an Oscar statuette.

Ryan estimates that "Spider-Man" will also have little to gain from this year's Oscars.

According to the trajectory of previous lives, this year's Oscars ceremony will be full of political atmosphere.

Impressively, a best actress statuette was awarded to Halle Berry, making her the first black actress to win an Oscar for Best Actress.

At this point, each subsequent Oscar has become more and more political, which is almost ridiculous.

An award known for its art, but being influenced by politics, I feel speechless when I think about it.

It is a good thing for Ryan. If he tries to hit the Oscar in the future, it will reduce a lot of resistance.

Of course, Ryan felt that it was difficult for him to conquer Oscar with business.

However, James Cameron has completely conquered the Oscars with his "Titanic".

There is also "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King", which will be released in May. Peter Jackson will also conquer the Oscars with his trilogy.

But Ryan still doesn't think he can easily get an Oscar statuette, and he doesn't need the aura brought by the Oscar statuette.

After breakfast, Charlize-Theron drove to the production site and devoted herself to the rehearsal of the crew, while Ryan came to Orion Films to prepare for the overall relocation of various departments.

Orion Pictures has bought a decent office building in North Hollywood, with 175,000 square feet of interior space.

In the next month or so, while the overall building is being renovated, all departments of Orion Films will move there one by one.

All relocation work needs to be completed before the arrival of the summer vacation in May at the latest.

Since it is also located in North Hollywood, the relocation work is not so troublesome.

The only headache is that the law and order environment in North Hollywood is somewhat unsatisfactory.

North Hollywood has never been the area with the best law and order environment in Los Angeles. It is much worse than the law and order in areas such as Beverly Hills and Westwood.

Fortunately, the new office building is located in the area south of North Hollywood, where the law and order environment is relatively better.

In addition to the company's department moving into the new office building, Ryan began to devote himself to the preparations for the crew of "Spider-Man 3". As long as Natalie-Portman and Toby-Maguire come back, the crew can go to New Zealand to start the production at any time.

In late March, the 74th Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Awards came to an end. "A Beautiful Mind", co-produced by Orion Pictures and DreamWorks, won the best picture award without any surprise.

The best director award went to Ron Howard, who won a precious statuette for directing "A Beautiful Mind."

Denzel Washington won the Best Actor award, and the Best Actress was Halle Berry, just as Ryan guessed.

Stunningly, both Denzel Washington and Halle Berry are black actors.

It is said that at the Oscars ceremony, Russell Crowe, Tom Wilkinson, Nicole Kidman and others looked very ugly.

Even an idiot can see that this is the Academy's intention to award this year's Oscar for Best Actor and Actor to black actors.

There is no doubt that black actors have become a kind of politics in Hollywood.

Even Avi-Allard proposed to add an important black character in "Spider-Man 3".

To ensure political correctness, and to attract black audiences into theaters.

However, Ryan did not agree, but proposed to restart the "Blade Warrior" sequel filming plan.

"Spider-Man" is a superhero movie, and there is no need to emphasize any political correctness, as long as it is shot according to the plot characters in the comics.

Otherwise, a black superhero cannot be forced into the film.

Of course, if anyone says that Orion Films discriminates against black actors, Ryan will let him watch "Blade Warrior" first.

At the same time, "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" began to be widely publicized.

In fact, Orion Pictures released the first promotional trailer for "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" as early as February.

As the last part of the trilogy, the release of "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" not only attracted the attention of countless media and enthusiastic movie fans, but also Hollywood film companies.

Many films have avoided the beginning of the summer file.

Only one large-scale commercial film "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" was released in May, and "The Sum of Fears" released by Paramount will not be released until the 31st. This film has a budget of 68 million US dollars.

As a result, the April and June schedules have become extremely crowded.

On April 19th, the epic film "The Scorpion King" produced by Universal Pictures was released. Universal Pictures held a large-scale premiere, and opened with a scale of 3444 cinemas.

For a while, many media seemed to see a familiar scene.

From the release schedule of the first "Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" and "Lord of the Rings: The Knight of the Two Towers", as well as the current "Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King", there will be epic films released at the same time every time.

"The box office of "The Scorpion King" in the first weekend was only 36.07 million U.S. dollars, and it is not expected to have an impact on the release of "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King."

Peter Jackson's face is very calm, he has nothing to worry about this film.

This "Scorpion King" is only a spin-off film in the "Mummy" series of films, and the investment is only 60 million US dollars.

For other types of films, with an investment scale of 60 million US dollars, there are no big-name stars, and the budget can be regarded as very abundant.

But for an epic film, the investment scale of 60 million US dollars can only be said to be very reluctant.

To put it bluntly, this is a money-making movie under the title of "The Mummy" spin-off movie.

In a short period of time, Universal Pictures will not continue to shoot the "Mummy" series of films, so it simply launched a spin-off film to make money from fans accumulated in the "Mummy" series of films.

Although it earned $36.07 million at the box office in the first three days of the weekend, it's not bad.

But for "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King", this box office result is obviously far from enough.

"After The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, I'm going to take a break."

Peter Jackson said a little tiredly: "I need a long vacation to relax completely."

From the preparation of the entire project, to the launch of "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" and the upcoming "Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King".

After several years, Peter-Jackson has been in a state of high pressure. Both physically and mentally, he needs a period of complete rest and a long vacation for himself.

"Peter, you seem to have forgotten something."

Ryan looked at him and reminded him deliberately: "Next, we have Oscar, and your vacation may not be too long."

As the last part of the trilogy, Orion Films will definitely publicize the next Oscars on a large scale.

This is an inevitable thing ~ www.novelhall.com ~ is the last large-scale commercial operation of the trilogy.

"damn it."

"I almost forgot about Oscar." While Peter Jackson showed regret, he was very excited.

At this year's Oscars, "The Lord of the Rings: The Trooper of the Two Towers" once again became the accompanying runner, with seven nominations including the best picture nomination, but only won two technical awards.

It can be said that the next Academy Awards is the one in which he is most likely to win the best director statuette.

Once this opportunity is missed.

Then as a commercial film director, if he wants to hit the Oscar for Best Director, his chances will become very small.

"It seems that my vacation can only be postponed for a while."

Peter-Jackson shrugged and continued: "In the second half of the year, I will hire a professional public relations team."

With the global box office hits of "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" and "The Lord of the Rings: The Knight of the Two Towers," Peter Jackson, as the film's director, has made a fortune.

Ryan and Orion Films is not New Line Films and will not default on Peter Jackson's director fee.

Even, Orion Pictures has paid Peter Jackson all the director fees for the first two films.

With Peter Jackson's current net worth, he is completely able to spend a considerable amount of money to publicize the Oscar for Best Director.

This is also the rule of Hollywood.

Except for the best picture award, almost every actor and director who wants to win an award will choose to pay out of their own pockets.

Even if it's just symbolic.
