Hearing Ronan's words, Scarlett Johansson was full of curiosity: "How come there are still two options?"

The waiters brought the dishes one after another, but Ronan didn't answer, and after all the dishes were delivered, he chatted with Scarlett Johansson while eating.

Ronan swallowed the tender steak in his mouth and said, "The reason why I prepared two options is because one is more certain, and the other has a relatively low chance of success. ”

Scarlett Johansson tilted her head to look at Ronan, "Can you tell me more about it?"

"Absolutely. After taking a sip of water, Ronan said: "We don't care about other awards, including the Golden Globes, just the Oscars, there are two awards for female performance, Best Supporting Actress and Best Actress." ”

Scarlett Johansson nodded slightly: "I know." ”

Ronan said to himself: "Best Actress is relatively difficult, even if you get a nomination, it is not easy, if you win, it ......"

"I don't expect to win awards. After all, Scarlett Johansson has worked hard in Hollywood for many years, and she still knows more about the Oscars: "I have too many poor qualifications. ”

Ronan smiled and said, "Let's talk about Best Supporting Actress." Scarlett, do you know Catherine Zeta-Jones?"

"Mrs. Douglas. Scarlett Johansson said: "Best Supporting Actress at the last Oscars. ”

Ronan nodded slowly and said: "Originally, Catherine Zeta-Jones applied for Best Actress, but the competition for Best Actress was extremely fierce, with her performance and the resources she could use, it was not a big problem to get a nomination, and it was basically impossible to win the award, Catherine Zeta-Jones's public relations team changed its strategy and re-applied for Best Supporting Actress." ”

He coughed in a low voice: "As we all know, Best Supporting Actress is known as the Best Consolation Award for Middle-aged and Elderly Actors, and the competition is not as fierce as Best Actress, Catherine Zet-Jones's strategy succeeded, and in the face of some middle-aged and elderly actors, she, a relatively young actress, won the Best Supporting Actress Golden Man and became one of the winners of the night." ”

Scarlett Johansson was quite smart and immediately said, "Ronan, you mean to make me apply for Best Supporting Actress?"

"No, no......" Ronan raised his finger and shook it, and said very seriously: "I will work hard to do what I promised you, the choice is in your hands, I just explain the situation to you, after all, some things are best in front, I don't want to affect our friendship because of this." ”

Scarlett Johansson knows very well that they really have a friendship.

She sighed lightly in her heart, compared to most of the people in the Hollywood circle, Ronan definitely belongs to the kind of person who is affectionate and righteous, how many people can be like Ronan, and still take the promised things to heart after eating?

For those people, it is the norm to eat dry and wipe clean and not admit it.

Scarlett Johansson glanced at Ronan quietly and removed the bad aspects, which is really a good choice to marry, but the problem is that the bad aspects cannot be ignored at all.

It doesn't matter how the two play now, but to really date, what woman can tolerate her boyfriend fluttering the bunting outside?

Scarlett Johansson quickly returned to reality, smiled embarrassedly, and said, "I don't know which choice to make." Ronan, you might as well help me analyze it. ”

Ronan ate the last steak on the plate, organized his language a little, and said: "Let's look at Best Supporting Actress first, as one of the four major acting awards, the competition is also quite fierce, but it is not as good as Best Actress." Scarlett, you are the heroine in "Lost in Translation", and being demoted to compete for Best Supporting Actress has a certain advantage in itself. With your performance and the quality of the film "Lost in Translation", coupled with the operational ability of Embassy Pictures, the chance of getting a Best Supporting Actress nomination is more than 80%, and the probability of winning the award is about 40%. ”

Scarlett Johansson gently stirred the food on the plate and asked, "What about Best Actress?"

Ronan added, "I remember you turned twenty last week, right?"

Scarlett Johansson suddenly said: "Thank you for the gift you gave me, I love that sports car so much." ”

"You're welcome, you should. Ronan turned the subject back again: "Twenty years old is too young for Oscar. Since 1987, when twenty-one-year-old Mary Matlin won the Oscar for Best Actress for "Falling Out of Favor with God's Child," no one has won the award at an age younger than twenty-five. ”

"Don't forget, Mary Matlin is a disabled person, and this innate advantage is not comparable to others," he emphatically reminded. ”

There are so many factors that can affect the outcome of an Oscar.

Scarlett Johansson knows Mary Matlin, the only disabled actress and youngest actress winner in Oscar history.

In other words, at the age of twenty-one, she is the youngest best actress in Oscar history, and she is a disabled person who can arouse widespread sympathy.

Ronan added: "From then to now, the youngest Oscar actress during this period is Gwyneth Paltrow, who won at the age of twenty-six. ”

Scarlett Johansson suddenly interjected: "She's causing too much controversy. ”

Ronan shrugged slightly: "With our relationship, I don't need to lie to you. Scarlett, your chances of getting the Best Actress nomination this year are negligible, and even if you are nominated, I can only guarantee that you are three to forty percent sure. ”

Although the Oscar for Best Actor is a blessing for middle-aged and elderly men, and the Oscar for Best Actress is claimed to be won as soon as possible, most of the actors who won the Best Actress are above or close to the age of 30.

Once, after Mary Matlin, there was only one Oscar for Best Actress under the age of twenty-five.

But how successful is the big cousin of Milk? In terms of selling characters alone, Scarlett Johansson and Anne Hathaway combined are not as good as her.

Scarlett Johansson got into thinking that this choice was not very easy to make.

After all, every actor has a dream of being a movie queen, let alone the Oscar for Best Actress.

Ronan didn't say more, and he wouldn't directly interfere with Scarlett Johansson's choice, "Lost in Translation" will inevitably follow the route of award operation, no matter which one Scarlett Johansson chooses, in fact, it doesn't make much difference to the operation of "Lost in Translation".

"Are you really in good hopes of winning Best Supporting Actress?" asked Scarlett Johansson.

Ronan could only tell the truth: "This award is a well-known consolation prize for middle-aged and elderly people." Scarlett, I don't want to lie to you, and there is no need for this, I can only say that there is hope, and no one can guarantee the award. ”

Rather than having contradictions in the future, it is better to say some ugly things in the front, and this kind of thing must not give people unrealistic illusions.

Scarlett Johansson just gave up the opportunity to be nominated for the Oscar for Best Actress, and she was 10,000 unwilling in her heart, but it was possible to win the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress, which was a huge temptation for her.

Anyway, it's a heavyweight Oscar statuette.

"Can you ......" Scarlett Johansson stopped talking, and finally asked embarrassedly: "Ronan, can't it be operated at the same time?"

Ronan suddenly laughed and said in a half-joking tone, "Scarlett, you're too greedy. He restrained his smile: "Operating two nominations at the same time means that resources will be dispersed, and the judges who will vote for you in the future will also be dispersed. ”

Scarlett Johansson smiled embarrassedly and said, "I'm very greedy, but Ronan you can understand." ”

"I can understand that. Ronan can really understand how much fame and fortune are tempting people, why is he not one of them? Naturally, he will not laugh at Scarlett Johansson, but reminds him very seriously: "In your case, one more choice is not a good thing." ”

Scarlett Johansson doesn't understand this truth, but it's hard to choose.

Ronan simply stopped talking and concentrated on dealing with the food in front of him, Scarlett Johansson had already put down her knife and fork, propped her arms on the table and held up her face, seemingly staring at Ronan, but actually thinking about this problem intently.

Choices are hard to make, but they have to be made.

Scarlett Johansson thought about it for several minutes and finally made a decision: "Ronan ......"

"Huh?" Ronan picked up a napkin and wiped his mouth.

Scarlett Johansson took a deep breath: "I've decided, help me apply for Best Supporting Actress." ”

Ronan didn't say anything about it, saying, "Yes." He picked up his phone, sent a message to the relevant person in charge of Embassy Pictures, and said to Scarlett Johansson: "I notified the company." ”

After making a decision, Scarlett Johansson relaxed a lot and asked Ronan, "Have you eaten?"

Ronan nodded and took out his wallet: "Okay." ”

Scarlett Johansson immediately stopped Ronan: "Okay, I'm in for a treat tonight." ”

She paid the bill, took Ronan's arm, and accompanied him to the door of the store, Ronan asked, "What's next?"

"Go to your house. Scarlett Johansson said directly: "Our date tonight has just begun." ”

Ronan, of course, would not refuse, and took Scarlett Johansson to the black Rolls-Royce Phantom and returned to the Etoworlds Manor.

The new awards season has just begun, and since there are no other films that will hit the awards, all the resources of the Embassy Pictures are used for the film "Lost in Translation".

At the same time, Ronan also communicated with Sofia Coppola, and the resources of the Coppola family were also invested in the promotion and public relations of the film's awards season.

Compared to the average young director, Sofia Coppola has too many advantages.

Not only the Coppola family, but even George Lucas was launched by Francis Coppola.

and Nicolas Cage, who is also more or less helping his cousin with work.

At the same time, the famous director Ang Lee, who was still in great glory in the previous awards seasons, ran into huge trouble.
