But it's just a difference in the time of day, but from heaven to hell, what the hell is going on?

Tucker only felt that he was surrounded by the flames of shame all over his body, and the scorching heat almost burned him completely, and the humiliation and anger that burst out from the depths of his soul not only could not burst out, but also squeezed deeply into his heart, and the pain that burned his internal organs tortured him so that he could not even make a sound, and could only stand in place completely, like a walking corpse.

Ryan sat in the boss's chair, completely stunned, his whole mind blank, the only thing he remembered was, how did "City of God" be nominated for Best Picture? There seems to be no memory of what happened after that.

Ryan's brows were tightly knotted, he subconsciously pulled the hem of his clothes, and then put Erlang's legs on the ground, trying to stand up, but he didn't want his legs to be weak - it seemed to be a little numb, as a result, the whole person staggered, and he was about to fall, he hurriedly grabbed the armrest of the boss's chair, and then the wheels of the boss's chair played a role - he pulled the wheels backwards, staggered two steps in a row, the boss's chair did not have any resistance at all, and he sat on the ground with his last buttocks, It's really wolf bèi.

Jason couldn't help but take a step forward, "Ryan, are you alright?" ”

Ryan waved his hand again and again, quickly stood up, pushed the boss's chair back to the side, and tidied up his clothes casually, "It's okay, I'm fine." Although there were only three of them in the conference room at this time, there were no outsiders at all, not even George came, but Ryan still felt a little embarrassed and anxiously wanted to whitewash the peace.

But Tucker didn't seem to be aware of Ryan's intentions, he saw Ryan's panic, and he was even more dazed, grabbed Ryan's arm anxiously, and asked impatiently and earnestly, "What should I do?" What to do? Ryan. You say, what are we going to do? What the hell is going to happen now? ”

Ryan was annoyed by this series of questions, and his inner grievance reached the extreme, even if no one did anything at all. But he only felt that his cheeks were hot and painful, as if he had been slapped in the face. Ryan violently broke Tucker's hand away and replied impatiently, "What to do?" Hurry up and get the PR propaganda up and strive to get the little golden man! Then Ryan looked up at Jason. How many nominations did we get? "Just now he was distracted after reading the list of nominees for Best Picture, and almost missed the entire list of nominees.

"Four." Jason spoke, which made Ryan breathe a sigh of relief—the expected result, but then Jason added, "'City of God' six." One sentence made Ryan choke directly, as if he had been slapped in the face again, Jason hesitated, but still stubbornly said, "I won the best picture and the best foreign language film, and I also won the best film editing." We don't. "Another slap in the face.

Ryan only felt his cheeks swell, and that slap had almost shaken off all his dignity, all his pride, all his confidence.

They used to think that the success of "Lost in Tokyo" was irreplaceable, they used to think that "Lost Tokyo" proved their accurate vision, they used to think that "City of God" was a wrong choice, they used to think that "City of God" was a desperate choice after Lance was driven to a dead end......

But now all these ideas were overturned, one after the other, like Lance's perceptive eyes, and he watched them fall step by step into the abyss with mockery, mockery, and contempt, and the shame and pain were almost unbearable for him. After the Golden Globe Awards ceremony. How fanatical their joy was, how turbulent the counterattack was today, and even doubled or tripled the counterattack and crushed them fiercely. Leave no room for error.

Ryan clenched the fists of his hands, clenching tighter and tighter, the short nails pushed towards the palms little by little, and then the blood slowly seeped out. But even so, he still couldn't let go of his hands, and all the strength in his body was concentrated on his fists. So much so that the muscles began to tremble slightly, like falling into an ice cellar.

"It's over, we're done." Tucker grabbed his hair in despair and retreated into a corner, pushing himself to the extreme, muttering bitterly and dazedly, "The 'Hollywood Reporter' even thinks that the 'City of God' is qualified to challenge the supremacy of 'Return of the King...... Lance is about to make a comeback with this movie...... Chaos Pictures is about to rise strongly...... 'Pirates of the Caribbean' not only got 300 million at the box office, but also won an Oscar nomination...... We should have listened to Lance, we should have listened to him......"

At this, Tucker suddenly raised his head, as if grasping the last straw, and said with a twinkle in his eyes, "You say, if we go to Lance now and apologize to him, will he forgive us?" ”

"Shut up!" Ryan's anger had risen to the door of his head, his whole face turned red, and he looked at Tucker with angry eyes - Tucker's words were like a slap in the face with all his strength, and he was thrown heavily in the face, which made him completely out of shape, "Lance can't forgive you, forget about it, you have no chance to regret it!" The angry roar almost lost control, which made Tucker stunned, but Ryan didn't have the heart to pay attention to Tucker's affection, just scratched his hair like a trapped beast, "What's more, this is just a nomination, this is just a nomination!" ”

It's just an Oscar nomination, and it makes them mess up. The main reason is that there is only one day between the big win of the Golden Globes and the unpopular list of Oscar nominees, and the transition between comedy and tragedy is really too fast, so they are not mentally prepared at all.

"Even if Lance wins the award, it doesn't mean anything. It's just ......" Jason tried to enlighten Ryan and Tucker, but before he finished speaking, Ryan glared at him fiercely, and the rest of the words could only be swallowed.

In Jason's view, this is just a "City of God", the confrontation between Diorama Pictures and Chaos Pictures has just begun, and whether the "City of God" wins the award or not, their showdown will continue. It's not just the confrontation between "Troy" and "the day after tomorrow", it will continue for a long time after that. The anger and panic of Ryan and Tucker are not necessary at all. Rather than messing around here, it is better to hurry up and start the college's public relations to ensure that "Lost in Tokyo" can win at the Oscars.

The work is the foundation of a film company, whether it is an independent film company or a top large film company. Jason always remembered Lance's words.

Looking at Ryan, Jason swallowed the words that rushed to his chest. Compared with the "City of God" anti-heaven performance, Jason is actually more curious about "Pirates of the Caribbean" - it actually won Johnny Depp a nomination for Best Actor! You know, this is Johnny's first Oscar nomination, and before that, none of the works such as "Edward Scissorhands" and "Ed Wood" have been able to make the academy face up to Johnny, who would have predicted that a commercial film would do it.

In the 2003 year-end box office list announced not long ago, "The Lord of the Rings Trilogy: Return of the King" was crowned the year-end champion of the North American market with 377 million, and "Finding Nemo" and "Pirates of the Caribbean" also joined hands to break the 300 million threshold, ranking second and third respectively on the year-end list.

"The Matrix 2", "Fake Gods", "X-Men 2", "Christmas Elves", "Terminator 3", "The Matrix 3", and "A Basket of Children" occupy the remaining positions in the top 10, respectively.

As for "City of God" and "Lost in Translation", which have nothing to do with the box office, the former ranked 65th with a cumulative box office of $45 million, while the latter occupied the 93rd position with $30 million.

On this year-end list, compared to the "Return of the King", almost everyone focused their eyes on "Pirates of the Caribbean" and lamented the wisdom of Disney and Jerry Bruckheimer. But few people know that Lance once tried his best to fight for this work, if it weren't for their internal strain, does that mean that the situation of Diorama Pictures would be completely different now?

Perhaps, "Pirates of the Caribbean" was the heaviest slap in their faces...... They had a disagreement because of this film, which directly directed Lance's out; They led the split because of this film, which made Diorama Pictures miss the opportunity and at the same time, they were also forced into such a situation; They betray their friends because of this film and stand on the opposite side of Lance.

This slap was heavy and heavy, ruthless and spicy. Even Jason couldn't help but close his eyes at the moment.

The ringing of "Jingle Bell" interrupted Jason's thoughts, and he looked up, then saw Ryan turn on the phone irritably, and said roughly, "What's wrong...... No, George, I don't want to be calm...... Don't let me calm! I'm not your subordinate, grass/your/ass/eye, George, don't tell sù what should I do...... Grass! Of course I do! Hell yes! After a burst of angry catharsis, Ryan's feelings finally settled down, and as if he was listening to what George Clooney had to say, he held his phone for a while, and then hung up rudely.

Ryan stood where he was, anxiously walking back and forth in the conference room a few times, like ants on a hot pan, and finally, Ryan let out a long breath, "This is just the list of nominees, there is still a month before the awards ceremony, we ......" Ryan closed his eyes again and took a few deep breaths, "We should start a PR campaign, we still have an advantage over Lance, we can't let this advantage slip away." After a pause and a bit of emotional adjustment, Ryan finally regained his usual composure, but the flush of the wolf bèi's face revealed the wolf bèi just now, "Also, we must keep an eye on the 'Troy' thing, this is a work that cannot be allowed to fail." ”

Speaking of this, Ryan's fists couldn't help but clench again, and the thick blood in his palms made his fingertips slippery, "In terms of commercial films, we can't leave him any chance!" ”

But will Ryan really be able to get his wish this time? (To be continued.) )
