Chapter 527： Nomination list

As before, Ryan did not attend the nominees luncheon, besides, there was no personal nomination for him this time.

In this list of nominations, the first part of "The Lord of the Rings" has undoubtedly become the biggest winner, with a total of 13 nominations including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Supporting Actor, Best Art Director, and Best Original Song.

According to past practice, the more nominated films, the more likely it is to win the best film, but the first part of "The Lord of the Rings" is definitely not in this rank, after all, there are two other films that have not been released.

Another winner comes from Nicole’s investment in "Moulin Rouge." This film released by Twentieth Century Fox has achieved the best results in musicals in recent years. Not only has the North American box office increased all the way, it has also been awarded by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. Recognized and won eight nominations including Best Picture, Best Make-up, Best Editing, Best Actress, and Best Costume Design.

The Oscars in recent years, the competition between DreamWorks and Jenkins has almost become the theme of the stage, and this year is no exception.

"A Beautiful Mind" starring Russell Crowe, produced by DreamWorks, received eight nominations including best actor, best director, and best picture.

The focus of Ryan's public relations, "The Devil" did not disappoint, helping Charlize Theron to win the second Oscar nomination for Best Actress in his life.

Of course, this is the only nomination for this film.

Sitting in the new office in the Disney headquarters building, Ryan saw the nomination list and found that he had overlooked too many things. It was quite difficult for Charlize Theron to get the best actress.

Needless to say, the pressure from Nicole’s side, the Australian girl didn’t mean to give in at all. Since "Moulin Rouge" was screened, Pa? Kingsley and others have been doing their best to publicize her, although the role image is too beautiful, not She will be the first choice of the judges, but her contacts and networks for many years far exceed those of her previous life, and it is not impossible to be upset and win the prize.

But the biggest threat comes from the skin color. Ryan saw several very familiar names from the nomination list, such as "Boxing King Ali" Will Smith, "Training Day" Denzel Washington, and "Dance of Death Row". Lee Berry.

This seems to be the first time since 1972 that three black movie stars have been shortlisted for the best actor and actress at the same time.

Then, Ryan gradually remembered the award-winning situation of the previous Oscars. Whether it was the actor or the queen, many people later criticized it as one of the biggest parallel imports.

Because the skin color has become the biggest boost for them to win awards.

In any term, their skin color will only bring about a reduction in points, but 9/11 has just passed, and unity is now the mainstream voice, and black celebrities and actresses are undoubtedly the best embodiment of mainstream voices.

It's really troublesome!

Ryan couldn't help scratching his head. Oscar's fairness and justice are always relative. Movies and roles are only the most basic conditions for determining the attribution of awards.

Thinking of this, he called Spielberg and David Geffen, presumably the two would feel the same.

In some respects, black movie stars may have a great chance of winning, but if the voice and strength of opposition are strong enough, they can also be defeated.

The two parties quickly reached an agreement, and Ryan called the heads of the various media affiliated to Disney, and tried his best to create forces for Charlize and others.

With the calls made, not only Disney, but also the network of relationships he woven over the years has gradually been activated. For example, in the following two weeks, Charlize became the cover character of Time Magazine for the first time, which quoted After taking Roger Albert's original words, she called her performance in "The Devil's Head" the greatest performance in film history.

Although the canvassing party could not be held, there are still people running in secret under Ryan's instruction. His public relations team are all tried and tested veterans and will never touch the sensitive bottom line of the college.

As for the actor and actress in the previous life, Ryan didn't care anymore. Who made them not his friends?

Besides, if Harry Berry gets the best actress, by the time the third episode of "X-Men" is made, her pay will probably rise to astronomical numbers.

If such a group drama needs an Oscar queen to hold the line, Jean Gray is more suitable than the storm girl playing soy sauce.

Entrusted with a special person responsible for handling public relations matters, Ryan temporarily put the Oscar matter aside, there is still some time before the awards ceremony, and sufficient publicity must be maintained.

For judges like him who are used to voting with their feet, high-profile comments from the media are the best way to influence.

That's not right. He often voted to see the close relationship first, and then to recall the impression of his previous life. As for movies and characters, they would hardly be the basis for reference.

After becoming the creative director of Disney, Ryan has the right to directly intervene in all film affairs.

After the completion of the merger, typical teenage idol movies like "Princess Diaries" were fully transferred from Jenkins Pictures to Disney Pictures. As Disney’s most important department, in addition to preparing for "Pirates of the Caribbean", it will also Prepare to shoot "Very Little Secret Agent".

The person in charge of the latter set his sights on the little guys such as Tyler and Kristen Stewart, but Tyler had no interest in the movie starring Phil, and refused without even thinking about it.

Of course, Disney is a good hand at operating this type of movie, so finding the right actors is no problem.

There is also the animation part of Disney. Although Ed Camel and John Lasseter have the power to control all the animation companies under Disney, Disney Animation Studios and Pixar Studios are still very distinct.

Ryan also didn't want Pixar to become another Disney animation, and the works produced were all musical and sweet genres.

This type is enough to be produced by Disney Animation Studios. In order to promote the development of Disney Animation, 200 former Disney employees of Pixar returned to Disney and became one of the backbone forces of Disney's computer animation.

But Disney Animation is too far away from its former glory. It is impossible to regain its strength without several years of hard work.

Then there is the "Harry Potter" series. After obtaining a full range of authorization, Disney’s performance last month has seen an explosive growth. At present, it has reached an agreement with Ryan. Starting from the second part, it will be comprehensive Involved in the production and distribution of movies and the sales of peripheral products in the later period.

Afterwards, Ryan went to Disney Pictures, a subsidiary of Disney, to participate in the preparatory meeting for his first major production "Pirates of the Caribbean" after he joined Disney.

Today's Disney Pictures has also undergone staff turnover. Julis Stewart has become the head of this famous film company, and Jenkins Pictures has been completely handed over to Mario Casa and Melanie Sloan.

Of course, this film company is very different from Jenkins Pictures, mainly producing g-level or pg-level movies.

"Pirates of the Caribbean" used the original crew and signed three contracts. Of course, Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley didn’t need to say, they responded immediately after receiving Ryan’s invitation. Come down.

And Johnny Depp also didn't think about it for too long. The analysis of Captain Jack Sparrow in the script deeply attracted him.

Besides, this guy is getting older, and he has not developed smoothly in recent years, and he is eager to get rid of his current red but not purple state.

"Jerry, a few points."

In the conference room, after Yiying's business united his opinions, Ryan stood up and reminded Jerry Bruckheimer who was the executive producer, “Try to build a real Black Pearl and recruit some more in appearance. Characteristic actors play pirates. I believe this effect will be better..."

Hearing what he said, everyone sitting around the conference table laughed.

"Depp, you'd better get a few gold teeth." Walking to the future Captain Sparrow, Ryan patted him on the shoulder, "I have to learn how to walk catwalks."

Johnny Depp smiled and shrugged.

The first trilogy of the film will be shot all at once. Ryan has set a total production budget of more than 400 million U.S. dollars for this. After the initial funds are received, director Gore Wibinski and producer Jerry ?Bruckheimer, has found a suitable filming location for the movie.

The location was in Rosario, Lower California, where "Titanic" was filmed.

After the shooting of "Titanic" that year, Ryan had to sell the model ship as a scrap, but the artificial lake and the studio remained and became the preferred shooting location for many marine movies, and the rental fees brought by these , Is also a very expensive income.

After several years of development, Rosario has also become one of Hollywood's important filming bases.

"Remind you all."

At the end of the preparatory meeting, Ryan stood at the front of the conference table and said seriously, "Prepare enough medicine for seasickness."

He pointed to himself, "I have experienced it firsthand."

Because she was only sixteen years old Keira Knightley’s mother accompanied her to the preparatory meeting. When the others were almost gone, she came to Ryan.

"Thank you, Ryan." She shook Ryan's hand and said quite sincerely, "Thank you for giving Kayla this opportunity."

"You are welcome, Ms. Shaman."

The other party moved a lot during the shooting of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone", and Ryan waved his hand at random, "It is necessary to help each other."

"Ryan, isn't Tyler in Los Angeles?"

Hearing Keira Knightley’s question, Ryan shook her hand and greeted her, and said, "Emma Watson is here, and they have gone out to sea together. It is estimated that they will be back in a few days."

"When she comes back, I'll visit her again." Relationships are the most common method in Hollywood, and few people who can become famous are fools.

After finishing the preliminary preparations for "Pirates of the Caribbean", Ryan is about to invest in his new movie. Marvel Pictures' preparations for "Captain America" ​​are also being completed, and the shooting stage is about to enter. rs()
