Three hundred and thirteen is Oscar again
On March 5, the annual Oscars came again, and Su Zhen and Nicole sat together in the VIP room of the Kodak Theater to watch the award ceremony.
"To be honest, I'm not used to sitting here," Nicole looked at the many actors, directors and other entertainers sitting downstairs, and couldn't help but sigh, once upon a time, like them, she needed to increase her popularity by attending this award ceremony. And now that she is the president of MGM Group, she no longer needs to compete with them for the front row seats that are not many, and even whether these people downstairs can win the award depends largely on her wishes... Although the selection mechanism of the Oscars makes it impossible for major film companies to control the selection, if the influence of a top film company is iron-hearted and does not want someone to win the award, it is not impossible, but it is generally not necessary to do so, after all, as long as you don't really offend yourself to death, no one will do this kind of unflattering thing, right?
"Do you think the location is comfortable now, or is the location downstairs comfortable?" Su Zhen asked with a smile.
"Do you need to talk about that?" Nicole glanced at Su Zhen amorous and saw that Su Zhen's heart was itchy, if it wasn't for the wrong occasion, Su Zhen estimated that he would have pounced directly, "Although it is no longer as glorious as standing in the spotlight in front of the stage, but now it feels better to be in control of everything behind it." This is the truth, after all, Nicole has already won the award she should get, and although she looks more beautiful under the spotlight when she is in front of the stage, in the final analysis, she is just a marionette to be manipulated. And now she is a puppeteer, which position is more comfortable, naturally there is no need to say.
In stark contrast to her, it is naturally her ex-husband Tom Cruise who is sitting downstairs, the most valuable actor in Hollywood? It's a pity that that's in the past, Tom's net worth has shrunk significantly, and today's salary can't even get into the top ten in Hollywood, and an actor of his level, as long as Nicole is willing, can easily come up with a few. Iron Man, released last year, has proven it. Robert Downey Jr., who has just been released from prison not long after completing his sentence, easily returned to the club of 10 million with this movie, so Nicole is now looking back at Tom Cruise, hehe.
Just then, the door to the private room opened. Avril's petite figure crept in.
"How. Are the girls alright? "Saw Avril come in. Su Zhen asked with a smile, he asked about the girl's generation who was about to perform on stage, Su Zhen thought about it. It was still decided to use the name of the girls' group from the previous life, although there was one less in number.
"Of course, I'm out of the horse, aren't you at ease" Avril said and straightened her chest proudly, but seeing Su Zhen and Nicole's suspicious faces, she was immediately defeated. "Okay, they might be a little nervous, but basically it won't be too much of a problem, and to be honest, I'm still a little unbelievable that these girls can handle this sexy dance."
"Haha, that's of course, how bad can the people I unearthed go" Su Zhen smiled proudly, why was Girls' Generation able to become a popular women's group in Asia in her previous life? Isn't it because these nine girls are rare that they can control the balance between innocence and sexiness very well? Thinking of that innocent face and sexy legs, Su Zhen couldn't help but feel hot in his heart, now these girls are his captive animals~ Oh hehe.
"Eight at a time, be careful to break your waist" Just when Su Zhen YY, Avril came out coldly, Nicole was dumbfounded, this chick really dares to say anything, and looking at Su Zhen's embarrassed face, is this right?
Su Zhen now has a feeling of regretting knowing this chick, compared to her, other women are simply good girls...... Well, the little girl in London is an exception, I guess the two of them will have some common language, but, eight at a time, it seems really tempting... Soon Su Zhen fell into YY again.
"Ahem, the girls are on stage". At this moment, Nicole reminded the two of them with a dry cough.
Although it is not the first time that Asian faces have appeared at the Oscars, but such a beautiful girl has attracted the attention of many media, fortunately, although the girls are young, they are quite typhoon, and there is no stage fright at all.
At the end of the performance, the one-minute solo performance made the audience in front of the TV and the guests interested in the girls, and they inquired about the origin of the girls, but found that no one knew the origin of these eight girls, until the next day, everyone learned that these girls would be the popular newcomers of Su's Records through the press conference officially held by Su's Records and the magazine of Vanity Fair, and the name of Girls' Generation, also took advantage of this shareholder wind, and successfully started in North America. Although it is not said to be popular, it is extremely rare to have a large fan base in North America...... Although they are basically men, and with the rise of fame in North America, Su Zhen decisively pushed the girls to the Asian market, and quickly built the girls into Asia's first women's group~ But these are all later words.
As the girls successfully completed the performance, Avril was relieved, which was even more nervous than when she sang on stage herself, after all, as a music producer, this was the first time she had come, and people usually came to her as a producer.
But she was relieved, Nicole couldn't relax, this year MGM was shortlisted for two films, one is "Brokeback Mountain" invested with the strong support of Su Zhen, and the other is the first work of the Marvel Universe "Iron Man", coincidentally, in the same year, Warner Studios also opened the first part of the Batman series, Mystery of the Shadow. So the most representative characters in DC Comics and Marvel finally crashed last summer, both handsome and rich, and both superheroes, but the final result was a big victory for Iron Man...... This made Su Zhen a little surprised, because in his previous life, the box office of the first two parts of Iron Man was not as good as Batman's, so when he learned that the two movies crashed at the beginning, Su Zhen was not sure at all, but the final result was really surprising, Iron Man's box office won Batman's 590 million with a score of 640 million.
However, Su Zhen didn't bother to bother with this problem, he just had to make money anyway. He's not a film critic, so there's no point in it.
It is precisely because of the success of Iron Man that Nicole has great expectations for Iron Man, but she doesn't like "Brokeback Mountain" very much, without it, naturally because the content of this movie is a little strange, especially in the eyes of Nicole, who believes in Catholicism, it is simply the original sin, but because of Su Zhen's interference, MGM took over the production and distribution of this film, and in the early days, the cold reception suffered by this movie also made Nicole think that she was right, because of the obstruction of the church, the release of this movie encountered a lot of difficulties, It only got 30 million box office in North America, but as time went by, the film's global performance was amazing, and finally won nearly 200 million global box office, which surprised Nicole, and what made Nicole unbelievable was that the film actually won a total of eight nominations including Best Director and Best Picture at the Oscars, but her optimistic Iron Man won nothing...... Even Batman, who was defeated by Iron Man, won the best cinematography - speaking of which, for the release of Brokeback Mountain, among the people around Su Zhen, the people who felt the most were Grace and Bella, in their opinion, this movie was simply tailor-made for them (they haven't read the original novel)... is also a cowboy, the same sex, and the same in Wyoming, but the protagonist in the movie is a man, for which the two of them "thanked" Su Zhen once.
However, although Nicole doesn't want to see Brokeback Mountain, but now that this movie has entered the Oscars, she naturally can't ignore it as the chairman, plus MGM has won several important awards last year with a million treasures, if it can win a few more important awards this year, it will be very beneficial to MGM's development, which is also a manifestation of MGM's return to the peak of the Hollywood film industry, isn't it? This sense of accomplishment is even better than winning an Oscar.
"Do you think this movie can win both Best Director and Best Picture?" Nicole asked, expectantly.
"It's difficult, I guess the director is fine, but the best picture may not be, as for the reason, just think about the protesters outside" Su Zhen said helplessly.
Nicole was a little helpless when she heard this, as a Catholic, of course she understood the influence of those demonstrators outside the Kodak Theater, it seems that Brokeback Mountain and Best Picture really didn't have a chance, but what she actually wanted most was the Best Film Award, because the Director Award belonged to the director, and it couldn't be put in the company's showcase.
