"Congratulations, Ronan. ”

At some previous parties, Martin Scorsese also met with Ronan: "Tonight, you and Relativity Entertainment are the biggest winners. ”

Ronan said modestly: "Luckily, the film is just in line with the social environment. ”

Martin Scorsese said: "The operation of the two films, 'Crash' and 'When Happiness Knocks on the Door,' cannot be explained by luck. ”

Ronan was no longer modest, but said, "Martin, I'm here because I want to talk to you about something." ”

Standing on the opposite side is the big man who has risen in Hollywood in the last two years and is also one of the most powerful people in this circle, Martin Scorsese has never had the idea of the other party coming to show off as a winner.

Martin Scorsese lifted his glasses: "Please speak." ”

Ronan also stopped going around in circles and said directly: "Martin, I don't know if you are still interested in Oscar?"

Each other is an insider, Martin Scorsese has no need to deny it, saying: "I'm old, I may retire soon, and I want to win the award for Best Director or Best Picture." ”

As one of the four great directors of the 80s, Martin Scorsese has the strength to live up to his confidence.

"Relativity Entertainment has a new project. Ronan said slowly: "Will Smith and Tom Cruise have been confirmed to play the two leading roles......"

Hearing these two people, Martin Scorsese was a little moved, good actors want to work with good directors, and good directors also want to work with good actors.

Ronan continued: "The subject matter is what you do best. ”

"Gangster films?" Martin Scorsese was rather questioning: "Ronan, the Oscars have always paid little attention to gangster films. ”

This is what he has learned over the past two decades.

Ronan said calmly: "The Oscars are also constantly changing, if it was placed in the past, Will could he get the best actor?" He said simply: "Martin, in my personal opinion, the Oscars will inevitably give you corresponding recognition, the four directors of the year, George withdrew from the directors' union, and he is no longer eligible for the Oscars, Steven and Francis have already won the best director and best picture." ”

Martin Scorsese was silent, the three old buddies of the year, George Lucas was not here, Steven Spielberg and Francis Coppola not only won the Oscar for Best Director, but more than once.

On the other hand, he himself is still struggling on the road to the Olympics.

Ronan's point of view, Martin Scorsese has qualifications, ability, connections, and a large number of excellent works, and the Oscars will definitely give him recognition, even if that film is not "The Departed", there will still be other works that will win awards.

But there is a premise, the appearance of eating cannot be as ugly as "The Aviator".

This personal biographical film of Howard Hughes does not look like a film directed by Martin Scorsese at all.

In other words, "The Aviator" is not only not Martin Scorsese's best work, but even below his average.

If it weren't for proper publicity and public relations, it would be difficult to say whether the film would be nominated for an Oscar.

"My personal opinion. Ronan added: "The Oscar judges are just waiting for a suitable opportunity. So, Martin, you might as well shoot what you do best. ”

Martin Scorsese frowned slightly: "If someone says that to me, I will never believe it." But you, Ronan...... Your eyes make me hesitate. ”

Ronan laughed, "Think about it, Martin. If you are interested, you can contact Shahai Entertainment to see the theme and script of the project first, and then talk about anything else. ”

Martin Scorsese nodded: "I'll think about it." ”

"By the way, one more thing. Ronan said in advance: "This project is aimed at the 79th Oscars, and the overall budget of the project is limited, and the salary may not be very high. ”

"I understand. "It's not the first time Martin Scorsese has made an indie award-winning film.

Having said that, Ronan has basically achieved his goal, anyway, everything that should be said has already been said, if Martin Scorsese is willing to direct, let Shahai Entertainment start negotiations, if he doesn't react later, then find another director.

The party is still going on, and Oscar's goodie bags are being delivered.

This is also a regular consolation project every year, and it can be regarded as a reward for the support of guests and nominees.

As the top gluttonous feast of the movie, the Oscars have a very practical performance in treating the comfort of the disappointed.

As we all know, although the Oscars have dozens of big and small awards, there are only a few who can get the little gold medals, and more than 80% of the nominees will still be disappointed.

Gifting a big gift bag to a star in attendance after the Oscars has become a traditional consolation prize at the Oscars.

All gifts will be placed in a specific package, and on the outside of the package the winner will read a particularly sensational message to the effect that not winning an award does not prove that you are not competent, and that there are no losers in the Oscars.

Of course, these expensive fees don't have to be paid out of the film school's own pocket.

Before the awards ceremony begins, the Academy holds a "bidding session" where advertisers who fail to invest money in clothes and TV commercials will not miss out on this opportunity, and they will naturally compete to be sponsors of the "big package".

Celebrities who are at the forefront of fashion get free gifts, and advertising sponsors also take the opportunity to increase brand awareness, which is also a win-win!

Just like some school sports meetings that Ronan once participated, the class with a bad ranking would get a fairness award or a spiritual civilization award.

When I was a child, I thought it was good to win a prize, but I didn't know until many years later that it was a consolation prize.

There was once a fan on the Internet who said that Leonardo had taken the super gift package for more than ten years, how tormented should he be?

It is estimated that the average human body will not be able to understand it, probably Martin Scorsese can understand Leonardo, right?

The total value of this year's gift package reached 50,000 US dollars, and after Ronan got it, he gave it to his assistant Connie as usual.

Scarlett Johansson also gave her goodie bag to her assistant.

The two left the banquet hall one after the other, and Ronan had already asked Connie to open the presidential suite with a special elevator in the hotel.

Walking into the elevator, Scarlett Johansson was full of surprise: "This is the elevator we used for the first time!"

Ronan said, "It's a revisit. ”

Scarlett Johansson squeezed her eyes: "Do you want to see tattoos?" ”

Ronan clasped his hands on his chest and leaned on the elevator: "I'm waiting to admire." ”

Soon, he found out that Scarlett Johansson had a horse tattooed on her back and hips!

"Why do you want to tattoo a horse?" asked Ronan.

Scarlett Johansson gave a very surprising answer: "Recently I heard that you go horseback riding a lot, so you can feel like riding a horse. ”

Horseback riding is not like driving a car and walking away with gas, and stepping on the brakes and stopping.

Horses can sense whether you can ride or not, and when they find that you can't ride, they will laugh at you, bully you, disobey you, or even turn over and ride you as a horse.

So, as a rider, you must have excellent riding skills.

Oscar night, a sleepless night.

This night, I don't know how many people slept on the break that didn't belong to them.

After dawn, the news of the Oscars washed away all the scandals.

"Relativity Entertainment, the biggest winner of the 77th Academy Awards!"

There is a lot of news like this.

But more of it is helping Martin Scorsese to complain, and most of the media who are unhappy, before the awards ceremony, no one thinks that Martin Scorsese can win the best director statuette.

Even, many of them also criticized Martin Scorsese's ugly appearance and "The Aviator" as useless.

This is the entertainment media, which is always looking for a news sensation.

As a result, Martin Scorsese, who endured numerous media criticism and disparagement before the awards ceremony, began to receive praise.

For example, "The Hollywood Reporter" previously angrily accused Martin Scorsese of giving up his humanistic care and social analysis, and choosing the flashy and untrue Vanity Fair and the unattainable dream chaser theme, which is a betrayal of himself!

But after the award ceremony, the old Martin was praised so much: a truly good director, a truly outstanding master, a real uncrowned king.

No matter what aspect it is, the truth is always on the side that occupies the right to speak in public opinion.

And the New York Times: Perhaps, Martin Scorsese will not win a golden man in the end, but can only hold a lifetime achievement award in his hand like his predecessor Alfred Hitchcock, and say a meaningless "thank you" to the equally embarrassed judges. But thankfully, the giant will not sink because of this, Martin Scorsese walked into the Relativity edifice and is ready to collaborate on a brand new movie with Shahai Entertainment!

Just three days after the 77th Academy Awards, Martin Scorsese, accompanied by his manager, came to Shahai Entertainment, talked with George Clint for a full two hours, and then took the script and project book of "The Departed".

The failure of "The Aviator" is far from knocking down Martin Scorsese, the veteran director's Oscar path, which can be described in that sentence - defeat after defeat, defeat after defeat.

Perhaps it is not appropriate to describe Martin Scorsese in the words of a football man on the other side of the Pacific, and the last sentence is more artistic: martyrs in their twilight years, and their hearts are strong.

Soon after Martin Scorsese got the script, he called Ronan in person, interested in the script and the story, but had to meet with the original author and the two leading actors in person before he was sure whether he could accept it.

This is also the director's responsible approach, once the film project invests tens of millions of dollars, it is a complex project, which must be paid attention to and cautious.

Ronan called Tom Cruise and Will Smith to have their agent coordinate a meeting with Martin Scorsese's manager, and asked George Clint to contact Andrew Liu and others in Port City. The latest chapters of the best entertainment era are here:
