Standing in the ballroom of the Hilton Hotel, Ronan mingled with a large group of Hollywood practitioners, quietly listening to the announcement of the winners on the stage in front of him.

Every time an old white man reads out a name, the audience erupts in applause.

The winners of the best film are announced below. The old white man's voice was not very high: "American Beauty, The Cider House Rule!"

Ronan immediately clapped along with the people around him, which lasted for a long time.

This is the Los Angeles Film Critics Association Awards, and except for the Lifetime Achievement Award, there are two other award winners, and there will be no awards, but the winners will be announced in the form of a cocktail party.

The winners were announced at the beginning of the reception, and the rest was social time.

Although this is only a film critics association award, the film critics have a considerable influence during the awards season, with many big-name actors, well-known directors and famous producers attending the reception, as well as hired public relations experts.

Ronan saw Steven Spielberg working on DreamWorks' "American Beauty", and the aura Haley Joe Osmont followed Catherine Kennedy to please an old man with a shiny head for "The Sixth Sense".

"Hello, Ms. Kennedy. Ronan doped in to introduce himself: "I'm Ronan Anderson of Relativity Entertainment. ”

Katherine Kennedy was also polite: "Hello, Mr. Anderson. Your company's performance this year is enviable. ”

It's clear that with the success of several films, Ronan has gradually gained some popularity.

Ronan exchanged a few pleasantries with Catherine Kennedy, exchanged personal business cards, and said goodbye at the right time so as not to disturb the other party's lobbying and public relations.

When leaving, I took a second look at Haley Joe Osment, the child star's performance in "The Sixth Sense" is really full of aura, and can even be recorded in the history of Hollywood.

Pity......

Too much talent has fallen in Hollywood.

On this occasion, the face must be thick-skinned, Ronan is extraordinary in this regard, coupled with the success of several films in a row, he also has some popularity, and in front of some people, the other party also greeted him politely, and after ten minutes, he exchanged five or six personal business cards.

Someone else took the initiative to come over and say hello to Ronan.

A blonde girl took the initiative to find Ronan and said with a smile, "Hello, are you Mr. Anderson?"

Ronan shook her hand and said, "Good evening, Miss Dunst." ”

The person who came over was Kirsten Dunst, who looked more beautiful in real life than in the movie: "Congratulations on the success of your film. ”

"Thank you. Ronan doesn't remember seeing her.

Kirsten Dunst added: "I regret it very much now, I should have taken the heroine of 'Death is Coming'. ”

The words reminded Ronan that Kirsten Dunst was once a candidate for the actress in "Here Comes the Grim Reaper."

Ronan also spoke beautifully: "I personally also like Miss Dunst, I have seen you play "Interview with the Vampire" and "Death of a Virgin", amazing performances. ”

Kirsten Dunst is not very old, but he is an old fritter who has been in Hollywood for many years, and he just looks at Ronan laughing.

Ronan is thick-skinned: "It's a pity that the crew has a limited budget. Miss Dunst, I hope there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future. ”

As long as a producer makes some achievements, his status is naturally above that of an average star actor, Kirsten Dunst said with a smile: "I also hope to work with Mr. Anderson in the future." ”

The two also exchanged personal business cards.

Ronan got acquainted with Hillary Swank again and found a big man, Harvey Weinstein, a leader in the independent film industry.

Accompanying Harvey Weinstein is Meryl Streep.

This fat man has a bad reputation and is also domineering, Ronan has no idea of coming over to say hello, just a little curious, Meryl Streep is mixed with Harvey Weinstein in this era?

After thinking about it carefully, it's really like this, Meryl Streep's film "Spinning My Heart" used to win the Olympics this year, and the producer is Miramax.

While discrepancies are the norm in the industry, Meryl Streep is also a prime example of this.

Harvey Weinstein was finished in her previous life, and she jumped out and stepped on it ruthlessly.

Actually, a person like Harvey Weinstein, an actress who doesn't give some practical benefits, will he help her rush to the Olympics?

It was not for nothing that Katharine Hepburn hated Meryl Streep so much.

Ronan withdrew his gaze just in time to see a big star approaching him.

"Good evening, Miss Roberts. Ronan greeted Julia Roberts politely.

Julia Roberts looked at Ronan and found that she didn't know him at all, and said casually, "Who are you?"

Ronan was meeting Julia Roberts for the first time, and the impatience in hearing these words further understood that people should not be seen as images on the screen, and Julia Roberts on the screen was always a warm American sweet sister.

It's not a big deal, and everyone in Hollywood, including him, essentially has similar commonalities, but many people hide it very well.

"I'm Ronan Anderson. Ronan calmly introduced himself: "President of Relativity Entertainment and Shahai Entertainment." ”

Julia Roberts's left eyebrow was raised, her big mouth turned up, and a smile instantly appeared: "It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Anderson." I've watched "The Grim Reaper is Coming", a masterpiece that is also enviable at the box office. ”

Ronan smiled, "It's not as good as Miss Roberts's movie." ”

Julia Roberts laughed as if she had changed someone, and laughed into a line: "Mr. Anderson is young and promising. ”

Ronan had a few more unnutritious pleasantries with her, and after exchanging business cards, Julia-Roberts took her leave.

Putting away Julia Roberts's personal business card, Ronan sorted out the bow tie, fortunately there are several successful films around, otherwise it would not have been possible to mix up on such occasions.

"Hi. ”

A greeting voice rang out from one side, "Ronan Anderson?"

Ronan turned his head to look and found that it was Tom Cruise, whom he had met from the previous party, and smiled again: "Good evening, Mr. Cruise." ”

Tom Cruise was alone, came up to the front, and casually said, "Ronan, you can call me Tom." ”

Ronan was also not polite, and nodded with a smile: "Okay." ”

Tom Cruise looked at Julia Roberts' back and said, "Look at what you just talked to her, aren't you uncomfortable?"

Ronan didn't understand what Tom Cruise meant, and looked at him in some surprise.

Tom Cruise obviously didn't look down on Julia Roberts, and didn't care about others spreading it, and whispered: "She has a notoriously poor attitude towards people who don't have money or no name, but on the contrary, she will be very enthusiastic." ”

Ronan whispered, "Indeed. ”

Essentially, Julia Roberts and Katherine Heigl belong to the same type.

Tom Cruise continued to gossip: "When she was filming 'Runaway Bride', there was a girl in the same scene as her, and Roberts said that if that girl was on the set, she wouldn't shoot it, anyone could be on the set, but that girl couldn't. ”

"Why?" Ronan wondered.

Tom Cruise deliberately said, "Guess what?"

Ronan guessed casually: "It can't be jealous of that woman's beauty, right?"

Tom Cruise laughed, "You see people are so accurate. He seemed to dislike Julia Roberts very much, saying, "I got the news from the crew producer, the girl was very confused, and the last staff member told her that it was because Roberts was jealous of her beauty and that she wanted to be the most beautiful woman on set. ”

Ronan shrugged: "What a quirk. ”

Tom Cruise laughs and says, "Overconfidence. ”

Ronan glanced at Tom Cruise without a trace, and it seemed that Tom could also use these four words in the future.

But he was a little strange that Tom Cruise came over to talk to him about what he was doing, and the two knew each other at best, not very familiar.

Ronan accompanied Tom Cruise to talk about a few interesting things in the circle, and Tom Cruise turned the topic to the movie, first talking about "Magnolia", which he used to win the awards this season, and then chatting about "The Grim Reaper".

"I heard you're working on a sequel to Project Human Clearance?" asked Tom Cruise.

Andrew and James Wong's agent Edward have been negotiating for several rounds, and it is normal for the news to get out, Ronan did not feel strange, smiled, and said: "The sequel plan is still on paper at the moment. ”

Tom Cruise looked enthusiastic: "Got stuck, don't have enough money, do you need my help?"

Ronan knows that Tom Cruise has a shell production company to his name, and he understands what he means, but he is not short of funds to shoot and produce a sequel now, and even if he is not enough to fund, he can solve it through financing.

A sequel to a blockbuster movie, the investment is more like a cake.

Ronan politely declined: "The funds are okay for the time being." Tom, if you are in trouble, I will give you priority for help. ”

"Okay. Tom Cruise isn't as out-of-the-box and extreme as he was sometime later, saying, "You can call me anytime." ”

Ronan also exchanged contact information with Tom Cruise.

While Ronan was still chatting with Tom Cruise, the eyes of a pair of good friends fell on the two.

"Leo, do you see?" Tobey Maguire gestured to Ronan's side with his gaze: "That person is Ronan Anderson, I only almost got the male lead of "The Grim Reaper", and it is said that he rejected it in the end. ”

Leonardo DiCaprio followed his friend's gaze and immediately saw a familiar face.

But after nearly a year of precipitation, Leon Andor's spirit is much less radiant, and the whole person seems to be a lot more mature.

"I know him. Leonardo remained calm: "Let's go, I'll take you over to get to know you." ”
