Chapter 367: The Big Hit

In the 90s, the Oscars in general showed a decline in ratings, and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, even if conservative, would not look at its own signboard dim, and since a few years ago, they have increased their cooperation with the media, and every time the Oscars season arrives, there will always be a number of topics for the news media that can continue to stir up.

And the media is also happy to cooperate with the academy, which is obviously a win-win situation.

Of all the topics, guessing which film is the favorite to win an award is both the most corny and the most effective.

There is no doubt that the biggest hit of this year's Oscars is "Saving Private Ryan", in addition to the fact that there are a lot of goofs in the movie, whether it is the theme or the quality of the film, it is the most powerful contender for Best Picture.

Even the media awarded the Best Director Golden Man to its director Stephen early? Spielberg, after all, Robert, who was also nominated for Best Director? Bernini is an Italian, Peter? Will's film "Truman's World" mercilessly satirizes the Hollywood film industry, the academy will never award him for best director, and the strongest contender comes from "Desert Island" director Robert? Zemeckis, but he last won a year after Spielberg.

Similarly, the media booked Best Actress early for Meryl? Streep, although "True Confessions" is not her masterpiece, but the competitors nominated at the same time are too weak.

Gwyneth? Paltrow is the most senior competitor, but whether the film she nominated for is a British film or a comedy about Shakespeare, it is inherently flawed.

Kate, the lead actress of "Elizabeth I"? Blanchett can be described as amazing, but Australia's nationality is a big issue, and it is impossible for the film school to award the best actress and best actress from Australia this time after the first two editions of the best actor and best actress from Australia, otherwise the American actor would have to rebel.

And Charlize, who was nominated for "Perfect"? Theron. If there is no Ryan? Jenkins's strong support, where did he get this sparkling South African diamond, if you want to win the best actress, you should slowly stay up for a few years.

As for Emily, who starred in "She's Lonelier Than Fireworks"? Watson, obviously, is here to accompany the run.

This year, which is considered to be the most fiercely contested award, is Best Actor, and in the eyes of the media, the biggest favorite is not Tom? Hanks, or Jack who did well in "Perfect"? Nicholson, but Ryan.

That's right, it's Ryan.

The media agreed. Ryan's performance in "Desert Island Survivors" greatly exceeded everyone's expectations, achieving a major breakthrough in acting, propping up the entire movie with one person's performance, and bringing a box office bomb with an artistic soul - after "Desert Island Survivors" was released in North America, the North American box office stayed at more than $360 million, the global box office exceeded $600 million, and the overseas box office is still superimposed - this is not the biggest reason why they judge Ryan to be a hit.

What is the biggest reason for the media?

According to the tradition of the Oscars, the Best Actress in the previous edition will be awarded to the Best Actor in the next edition. And who was the best actress in the last edition? Nicole? Kidman!

Think about it, when Nicole? What kind of chain reaction and sensational effect will Kidman cause when he hands over the highest honor of being an actor to his brother? The two of them are in North America, and they have countless supporters in the world. This moment will surely attract the attention of the whole world.

Even if it's for the ratings, even if it's for the sensational effect, even if it's to promote the Oscar brand, should the film school award the best actor to Ryan? Jenkins.

That's the analysis in numerous media outlets. As for whether this is the result of the last one, apart from God, only the accountant in charge of counting the votes at PricewaterhouseCoopers knows the way.

A lot of media outlets have been trying to interview Ryan for his thoughts on the matter. But because his relationship with the filming of a new film in Warsaw was unsuccessful, and when Ryan walked the red carpet, they immediately threw the problem on the back of their minds, because Ryan's image was too unexpected, even more surprising than the Tarzan-like appearance of the apes in "Desert Island".

His long, blackened hair was neatly combed at the back of his head, revealing completely sunken cheeks, and the form-fitting dark blue gown made him look like a palm tree next to Chandler's Hall, tall and thin, especially with his smooth forehead and slender hands, which seemed to be skin and bones.

Is he a hundred and twenty pounds?

This is the question in the hearts of many reporters, the last time he appeared in front of the media, he was already very thin, but now he is thin, which is a bit exaggerated.

Many people suddenly remembered how thin and tall he looked when he was a child.

The fans on both sides of the red carpet suddenly quieted down, they couldn't understand what their idol was doing suddenly became what they are now, except for the still bright smile, the whole person seemed to be narrowed several times.

Could it be that Ryan is seriously ill? The reporters who do entertainment are people who have rich associations, and they immediately think that countless super geniuses in history have been infected with incurable diseases......

More people thought of the movie being filmed in Poland, and since Jenkins Films announced that they would adapt "Dead City" into a movie, this autobiographical novel has instantly become a bestseller, and they have read it carefully, thinking about what happened to the protagonist in the book, and understanding.

Then there is admiration, a superstar who has achieved fame, in order to perfectly reproduce the characters in the book, can have such perseverance.

Although this admiration can only last for a very short time.

Despite the slight surprise at the reaction from both sides of the red carpet, Ryan waved his hand over to the interview area, where a reporter from ABC TV, who was in charge of the live broadcast, immediately walked over.

"Mr. Jenkins, you seem to be in very bad health?" The reporter asked the question in his heart.

"As you've probably heard, I'm filming The Pianist, based on Dead City, in which the protagonist is an artist on the verge of starvation."

Ryan made a gesture you understand and continued, "I'm in good physical condition, but I've lost a little weight, don't worry. ”

"The media think that Miss Kidman will personally present the Best Actor Golden Man to you tonight, what do you think?"

"Anything can happen until the last moment."

Ryan waved his hand, said no more, and walked directly to Chandler Hall. Nicole, with whom Blanchett walked the red carpet, was waiting for him at the door.

"Hell! I should have mobilized all the shareholders and management of the company to force the cancellation of the Pianist project. ”

After returning to Los Angeles from Poland, Ryan didn't know how many times he had heard Nicole complain, so he immediately bent his arms, waited for her to hold herself, and said as he walked, "Don't forget, I have a controlling stake in Jenkins Films......

"Don't forget, I'm the chairman of the board of directors of Jenkins Films!" Even if it's just nominal.

"Honey, I promise, nothing will go wrong." Ryan's voice was only audible to them, "I'll be back soon after the shoot." ”

"Hi, Leon."

The two walked faster and caught up with the pair in front, Leonardo? DiCaprio stopped and turned around, "Hello, Ryan, Nicole." ”

"Hello, Leon, you're so handsome today." Nicole complimented him.

That's true, Leonardo has a neat big back, a black dress with a white shirt, and the tall woman next to him looks particularly handsome.

"Tell me about it, Leon." Ryan looked at him, the woman was very tall, at least an inch taller than Nicole, who was five feet and ten inches.

Although Leonardo likes models with blonde hair and long legs, even if he basically plays, there seem to be few who can bring him to important occasions, and the woman next to him, who looks like she should be a model, can let Xiao Li take the Oscar red carpet, presumably he is serious.

And after tonight, the female model is sure to make a name for herself in the United States.

"This is Giselle? Bundchen, a contracted model from Brazil, Victoria's Secret. After introducing his female companion, Leonardo looked to his side again, "These two shouldn't need to be introduced by me, right?" ”

Giselle? Bundchen greeted Ryan and the others with a look of surprise, and asked with a little hesitation, "...... you guys?"

"I'm good friends with Leon."

Ryan patted Leonardo's arm lightly, "Let's not get in the way here, let's go in together." ”

"Okay."

The four of them walked towards Chandler's hall with a smile and a smile.

It's just out of Ryan's sight, Giselle? A strange look flashed in Bundchen's eyes, promising Leonardo? DiCaprio's pursuit is really right, not only walked on the coveted Oscar red carpet, but also met Ryan? A big man like Jenkins might even become friends, and then the development will definitely go very smoothly.

Ryan didn't take the supermodel in his previous life too seriously, Leonardo is a standard playboy, in addition to those vices, he has a lot of common problems that a playboy should have, Giselle? Although Bundchen is an unusually clever woman - can she become the richest woman in the entertainment industry in the world - it appeared a few years in advance, and I am afraid it will be difficult to make this old man pay attention.

Well, Hollywood men are all virtuous, and they can't control others.

Ryan shook his head as he walked to his seat, he didn't know how to solve this mess.

"Ryan, what a shame."

Leonardo didn't know how to persuade the couple in the back, changed the seat to the back of him, and after Ryan greeted the people around him, he leaned over and whispered, "On the catwalk after the New Year, Victoria's Secret has a few more models from South America, but it's a pity that you went to the UK at the time, and now you still have a chance, let Giselle ask a few of her companions out another day, and we'll have a party......"
