The most important award of the North American awards season every year is undoubtedly the Oscars, and the announcement of the Oscar nominees, that is, the traditional Oscar nominees luncheon, can be called the focus of attention of fans around the world.

The list of nominees is undoubtedly the ticket to the Oscars.

In order for "Hero" to be shortlisted for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, Embassy Pictures has done a lot of work.

Nearly $5 million was invested in public relations.

This is also a good opportunity for the film to continue to expand its popularity before the Oscars, and Ronan has promised the producers before, so he arrived at 5 o'clock in the afternoon and arrived at the nomination luncheon on time.

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences held the Nominee Luncheon at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel, renting the huge Ballroom 1

A small red carpet was rolled out at the entrance of the hotel, and hundreds of media reporters gathered.

There was an agreement beforehand, and as soon as he walked into the media area, Ronan found Tom Cruise and Will Smith.

The three stood side by side and allowed media reporters to take pictures, but they all declined to be interviewed.

Entering the Ritz-Carlton's ballroom, Tom Cruise and Will Smith all switched seats at Ronan's suggestion and sat at the same table as Ronan.

The Oscar nominees' luncheon was held in the form of a formal banquet, with dozens of round tables filling the ballroom, which was a feast of food and drink.

Of course, those who can get the nomination are happy, and those who can't get the nomination will be disappointed.

This is Ronan's second awards-winning banquet in recent times.

Last week, he just attended the 60th Golden Globe Awards for Television and Film.

"Hero" was nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Foreign Language Film, but it was the Spanish film "Say to Her" that won the award.

The Golden Globe Award is a strange award, and no one can figure out what its award criteria are, and the best foreign language film winning favorite "City of God" returned empty-handed, causing countless people to fall into the eyeballs.

Gary Oldman once said that the Golden Globe is meaningless, just a collective of 90 incompetents.

The famous personality actor may not be right, but there is always some truth.

And he is also known for daring to speak the truth.

For example, there used to be myths about Heath Ledger, and countless people were mythic, saying that Heath Ledger died because he played the Joker wholeheartedly, and Gary Oldman, who also starred in "The Dark Knight", only gave one sentence when he was interviewed - nonsense.

Although the Golden Globe Awards do not coincide with the Oscars because of the completely different relationship between the judges and the Oscars, as an important award before the Oscars, the exposure and publicity that the Golden Globes can bring should not be underestimated.

For celebrities, exposure is crucial.

Therefore, at today's nominee luncheon, not only most of the people who applied for the Oscars came to the scene, but also a considerable number of guests came to cheer.

Ronan introduced Tom Cruise and Will Smith to Zhang Guoshi and other members of the "Heroes" crew at the next table, and chatted with the two friends.

Compared with the members of the "Hero" crew, he is confident that the film will be nominated for Best Foreign Language Film.

If it can be nominated for Best Foreign Language Film, it will take the opportunity to expand the North American screening of "Hero".

Even if you don't get nominated, it's not the end of the world.

Not far away, there is also Chris Renard from Shahai Entertainment Animation Studio.

Compared to "Hero" and Best Foreign Language Film, "Peppa Pig" was almost 100% nominated for Best Animated Short Film.

The competition for this award is not fierce at all, and even the list of nominees is simply five out of seven.

It doesn't take long for the Oscars to go, and the head of a Hollywood force like Ronan, who is not the first time to participate in the Oscar game, can more or less perceive the possible outcome of the nominations.

Director Zhang looked at Ronan, and there were three people next to Ronan at a small round table, and asked the actor next to him: "Jett, can you talk to them?"

If you can work with one of Ravel Smith or Tom Cruise......

Jet-Lee shook his head directly: "I can't talk to them, they ...... with me Well, in Hollywood are two completely different levels. ”

Director Zhang nodded and didn't say anything more.

"Are you saying that the agent didn't do his best when you were rushing for the prize?" Will Smith heard Tom Cruise's words and said directly: "What does such an agent want her to do? Just fire her squid." ”

Ronan advised, "Tom's problem with her hasn't been laid out yet, you should keep it secret." ”

Will Smith hurriedly said, "I know, I won't talk nonsense. He looked at Tom Cruise, "Tom, what do you think?"

Tom Cruise was blunt: "Wait until the list of nominees is announced." ”

Will Smith thought for a moment and said, "Also, if you can get the Best Actor nomination, it's not a good time to change agents." ”

Agents know too much about the privacy and secrets of their clients, and they usually have nothing, and if something breaks out before the Oscars, it will definitely drag down the award plan.

Stars like him and Tom Cruise, there are really a lot of things hidden under the halo, and seeing the light is not to mention how big a problem is, it is a troublesome thing after all.

Tom Cruise shrugged: "I guess it's unlikely that I'll get the nomination." ”

As he spoke, his gaze shifted to the left, and Ronan also looked over, only to see that four or five round tables were separated by Nicole Kidman sitting on the set of "All the Time", talking and laughing with Harvey Weinstein.

Ronan could see that even if Tom Cruise was an open-minded person, his face was not very good-looking.

Everyone knows that it is impossible to hold Harvey Weinstein's thick legs to impact the Oscars without giving something.

Will Smith probably saw some of Tom Cruise's thoughts and said, "Even if it doesn't work this time, we still have a chance." ”

He deliberately pointed at Ronan and joked, "Don't forget, we have a big backer!"

Tom Cruise turned his head and pretended to be relaxed, "Ronan, don't you want Relativity Entertainment to win a few Oscars for Best Picture?"

Ronan spread his hands helplessly: "I want to too, but the Oscar is not something that can be won." A few years ago, Harvey Weinstein made a "Shakespeare in Love", which annoyed the college quite and gave him a cold three years. But in the past three years, another dream factory has emerged, winning three consecutive Oscars for Best Picture. This year, Harvey Weinstein made a comeback, and when he heard about the nostalgic musical "Chicago", the old men loved it very much. ”

Will Smith snorted coldly: "It's been so many years, and they're still nostalgic for the so-called golden age." ”

Ronan suddenly said: "I should make a more nostalgic film to rush to the Olympics, such as a black and white silent film or something." ”

"That's right. Tom Cruise seemed inspired: "Aren't they nostalgic?"

Ronan was also inspired by his own words, will the black and white silent film of black transgender plus homosexuality and bisexuality be 100% award-winning in the future?

Sure enough, I'm a genius!

Suddenly, Ronan felt that someone was staring at him, and quickly turned his head and found Nicole Kidman.

The Australian actress's eyes fell on Tom Cruise, and she smiled at Tom Cruise, who was originally calm and breathed rapidly.

"Damn!" Tom Cruise muttered, "I'm going to fire Pat Kingsley!"

Ronan said, "Do it if you think about it, and I will support you." ”

"That's right. Will Smith said.

Ronan decided to change the subject to a lighter one and asked, "Will, you called yesterday and said you just returned to Los Angeles." I remember that it's been a while since you finished filming "Enemy of Love", so you shouldn't have secretly gone on a date with Charlize Theron, right?"

Will Smith hurriedly shook his head: "What are you kidding, that's an African iceberg, you would be interested in a woman like her who puts on a cold demeanor all day long? I went to Miami, where the Williams sisters are preparing for the Australian Open." ”

Ronan admired: "You're two again?"

Will Smith seemed to think of something terrible, his face changed, and instead of answering Ronan's question, he said: "Ronan, Tom, I highly recommend you to try it with professional female athletes, especially female tennis players, their legs are so strong that they are so tight that they are ...... to death."

Tom Cruise shook his head: "I'm not interested right now. ”

Ronan said, "Sister Williams is horrible. Will, didn't their legs break your waist?"

"Ahem...... Ahem......" Will Smith dodged Ronan's question by coughing, and said, "Do you have a favorite female tennis player, I can ask Venus and Selena to help introduce you." ”

Is there a tennis beauty in this era? Ronan thought about it carefully, it seems that Maria Sharapova, who can be regarded as a beauty when she was a girl, has not made her debut, and Ivan is estimated to be in some training camp for Piggy's wife......

Not to mention, it really made him think of a name.

Ronan asked, "Is Anna Kournikova still playing?"

"I don't know much about that. Will Smith thought for a while and said, "It seems that Kournikova has a boyfriend, and it is estimated that there is no play." Actually, you can find a tennis princess, and Hingis must be glad to meet a brilliant man like you. ”

Ronan remembers the name: "Hingis of Switzerland?"

Will Smith nodded: "Yes, it's the former world No. 1 women." She is easy to pick up and enjoys contact with great men, and she is said to have a lot of needs and addictions in that area. ”

Tom Cruise was a little frustrated by the two and reminded, "You two. ”

Ronan smiled and said, "Yes, this is a tall Oscar, and discussing these is a bit of a downward spiral." ”

Will Smith didn't care, and said, "Tom, you don't understand, Ronan must have understood. The more beautiful female celebrities we have soaked, the higher our style will be. ”

Ronan answered: "A few double beds, a few bride ......."
