Chapter 535： Drop the curtain

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

Lifting the golden man vigorously, Ryan began the indispensable testimony of the winners, "First of all thank the college, I did not wait until the day when my hair was gray..."

This kind joke immediately brought bursts of laughter and applause. Many people knew that if it were not for the age barrier, perhaps he should have got this little golden man a few years ago.

"Thank you for the three people I met in my life. You are the best and the best." "Fiction" "Fiction chapters are updated fastest

The testimony is too long and has always been unpleasant. After looking at Charlize who was also staring at him, Ryan speeded up his speech, "I want to thank too many people. Rather than thank some of them in public, it’s better. Let me thank each of them in private!"

"I want to thank everyone who contributed to this film, whether they contributed a piece of paper, a painting, a dance, a prop, a comedy or a piece of music, I want to thank them, every People who contributed to this film have shared our experience!"

Finally, Ryan said in a very serious tone, "If there were no movies, I think this world would be an inhabitable wasteland."

"thank you all!"

After speaking, he walked off the stage.

In fact, before the start of the Oscars, Ryan prepared George and Lisa, as long as they can win the prize, they will mail a souvenir to everyone who has participated in "Gladiator".

When he returned, he gave another high-five to the person who took the initiative to reach out, and Ryan sat back in his seat.

"A great testimonial." Charlize gave another hug.

"From now on..." Letting go of the South African Diamond, Ryan joked in a low voice, "Charlie, you should consider what to say next year."

"It's not the last moment." Charlize took out what Ryan often said, "No one will happen."

Because of the absence of Sam Mendes, the bad boy Sean Penn became the guest of honor for best director, a guy who doesn't always pay attention to things. Without any extra words, I read the nomination list directly.

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

The focus of everyone’s attention fell on Ridley Scott and Steven Soderbergh. The other two directors were not competitive, regardless of their qualifications or other conditions, even though Oscars would occasionally be upset. The best director rarely appears.

"Steven Soderbergh, "Drug Network"!"

Ridley Scott already has an Oscar for best director. And Steven Soderbergh is a double nomination, the choice of the academy is not unexpected.

So far, "Drug Network" has won four of 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 tradition of Oscars, the film that won the best director often wins the best film. In terms of the attribution of the last award, "Drug Network" has the upper hand.

After Steve Martin made a few jokes about Catherine Zeta Jones. The British actress’s husband and veteran actress Michael Douglas stood on the stage for the best film awards.

"Hollywood produces a large number of excellent films every year. Last year, there were also a lot of films with a good reputation and a double harvest at the box office. What is the box office of "Drug Network"? 100 million US dollars? And "Gladiator." Still telling me, "God, the North American box office of this movie is almost 300 million U.S. dollars. Why does Ryan Jenkins' movies always sell well?"

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

Ryan gave Charlize the best actor, ready to take the stage again.

"The final award-winning film is... "Gladiator", congratulations to Jenkins Pictures, congratulations to Ryan, congratulations to Ridley!"

"Yes!"

Many people in the crew shook their fists heavily, and in a voice of congratulations, Ryan and Ridley Scott walked onto the stage together.

After receiving the Golden Man handed by Michael Douglas, Ryan took the initiative to step aside, and the limelight that should have come out was already out. Although the best picture was awarded to the producer, the present moment should belong to Ridley Si. Cott.

Having been a first-line director for more than two decades, he himself won the best director, and the old-fashioned Ridley Scott just said a few clichés, followed Ryan and walked off the stage together.

"Wow, another one."

After the congratulations were over, Charlize leaned in, and Ryan handed the Golden Man to her, "My dear, this is for money."

This is not a joke. According to the Oscar-related selection rules, the winner of an award can only receive one golden trophy. If two people win the same prize, they should be awarded one golden trophy for each of them. , And the extra trophies are charged at the original price.

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

This year’s Oscar has also fallen off the curtain. Although "Gladiator" has only received five of the twelve nominations, it has included the heavyweight best picture and best actor in the bag, especially Ryan. He finally became the youngest Oscar actor. 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 movie at the Oscars. "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" won four statuettes. No matter what the core idea of ​​this movie is, with the aura of the best foreign language film of the Oscar, you can go to the other side of the Pacific Ocean. Made money.

This film with a total cost of more than 30 million U.S. dollars has already earned more than 100 million U.S. dollars in box office in North America, but who will let the opportunity to make more money in vain?

Ryan is not just trying to get a few golden figures for this Chinese-language movie with such a time-consuming public relations.

After the routine group photo, Ryan and others appeared on time at the "Vanity Fair" celebration party at the Beverly Hills Hilton Hotel in accordance with the prior agreement. Even if he is not the best actor, he is also one of the central points of the party. , Not to mention the addition of a halo this time.

Various congratulatory voices sounded continuously from the moment Ryan stepped into the banquet hall, even if Charlize Theron always held his arm, there are still some female stars taking advantage of the opportunity to shake hands, writing them one by one. The note of the phone number was handed over.

"If you want to go, just treat me as if I don't exist."

Ryan naturally wouldn’t take the words of South African Diamonds’ mouths seriously. He raised his glass to Johnny Depp in front of him and drank 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 called to 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 found you as a lobbyist?" Ryan thought for a moment. "Let's wait for Alison to make his own decisions when he grows up."

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

"Charlie..." Just when they were separated, the editor-in-chief of Vanity Fair suddenly turned to Ryan, "Are you interested in being on the cover of Vanity Fair?"

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

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

Tina Brown is not a fool. With Charlize Theron's frequent appearances on the red carpet with Ryan, it will definitely become the focus of quite a few people.

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

As Ryan thought, this party was full of the taste of trading, and there were many budding people who tried their best to squeeze in here to find suitable opportunities.

"Hello, Ryan."

Before leaving the banquet hall, Ryan met a self-recommended person, "My name is Paul Anderson, and I am a screenwriter and director."

The other party's name is very familiar. Ryan looked at this tall guy, at most in his thirties. Most directors in this age group are still in the middle and low tiers of Hollywood.

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

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

Opportunities are extremely rare in this circle. Paul Anderson is a typical Westerner without concealing his intentions, "I think I will be the right person."

When the other party mentioned "Resident Evil", Ryan remembered who he was. Isn't this the husband of Alice in the previous life and the director of this series?

"Well……"

Nodded, Ryan led him out of the banquet hall and walked towards the elevator, "You have five minutes to talk about your vision of adapting the movie."

The young director was clearly prepared. From the moment he entered the elevator, he talked endlessly. When he arrived at the parking lot, Ryan raised his hand and interrupted 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 with Milla Jovovich because of this series, right?

Ryan was still thinking about this when he got in the car. Look, I put the pair together again, so...well, I'm still a good person. (To be continued...) ()
