Chapter 262: Preparation

The bright stage is showing the hustle and bustle of the Oscars, Whoopi? Goldberg did his best to enliven the atmosphere of the scene, even if he kept dressing up ugly to achieve a funny effect, such as wearing Nicole at the beginning? The cocktail suit that Kidman wore in Moulin Rouge rained down from the sky, causing a lot of laughter.

However, Sean's mind at the moment is not on the award ceremony, anyway, he has no nominations at this award ceremony, so he should come to a big party. Since it's a party, it doesn't need to be too serious, so he can find time to think about other things, such as meeting Nicole when he came in with Naomi earlier.

It's not that he thinks anything of Nicole, it's just that despite his verbal tricks, the other party can see that he and Naomi don't have a normal relationship. Well, he didn't intend to hide it, but considering Naomi's attitude towards the relationship, he tried it despite the fact that she had taken the initiative to say "you really want to talk to me like that" outside.

Then Naomi chose to acquiesce, well, maybe she thought he wanted that, so she cooperated, but ......

Sean shook his head slightly, a little disappointed, but also a little ...... Glad?

"What are you thinking?" Vladimir, who was sitting with him, asked while clapping.

"I was thinking, it's really disappointing that I can only go up and sing a song on such a lively stage." Sean smiled, then asked rhetorically, "What about you?" After a long silence, he came here again as a producer. ”

"It's a pity that there is only one nomination for Best Original Screenplay," Vladimir shrugged, but didn't see any dissatisfaction, "but I believe it's just the beginning, right?" ”

He looked at Sean with a serious expression, as if he believed it from the bottom of his heart.

"Of course." Sean Haha smiled, "This is really just the beginning. ”

There is no film company that doesn't want its films to win the Oscar for Best Picture, even if it's just a small company, and Samsara Pictures can't be considered a small company anymore, with the new injection of funds, Vladimir has already pocketed the two small companies of Tan Haode, and the shriveled film library is slowly enriching.

Then, the "America's Top Model Contest" in collaboration with CBS and Victoria's Secret was slowly but constantly preparing, and many questions were raised and then solved. And the two horror films designated by Sean, the remake of "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" is nearing the end, and it can be transferred to the later stage after the Oscars, and Takashi Shimizu's "The Grudge" is still improving the script because it wants to set the story on the Americans, and Sean has left him enough time, so it will start shooting in June.

In addition to this, Vladimir also invested in two small-budget films, the ones that did not involve Sean, or made predictions.

It is impossible for film companies to rely on Sean alone to discern which scripts are worth investing in and which are not, which is what he and Vladimir agree on. In modern society, it is foolish to tie the rise and fall of a company entirely to one person, and a professional and effective team is fundamental. People like Jobs can cannon conventions.

Sean is not Jobs, he is an ordinary person in his past and present life, at best he is an ordinary person who works very hard, so this is very necessary. Moreover, even if he finds a script that may be a big hit, if he finds the wrong actor or director, or for any other reason, it may cause the movie to fail, and not every time his luck will be as good as "My Grand Greek Wedding".

Therefore, it is necessary to invest in some low-budget films, firstly, to enrich the film library, and secondly, to find some good works, most of which can recover the cost, and German companies will be happy to invest anyway.

Even if there is a certain loss, as long as it is within the tolerable range, it is no problem, because Sean still remembers something, as long as the time comes, it will inevitably surprise many people.

In short, his production company has grown steadily under the operation of Vladimir, and the amazing performance of "My Grand Greek Wedding" before it also gave this middle-aged man from the publishing department of Bowei an inexplicable confidence that he would be very serious about saying such things.

Okay, let's focus on the stage, no matter what happens to Samsara Pictures in the future, they are just Oscar companions for now, just like Sean is now.

With the award of Best Supporting Actress to Jennifer of A Beautiful Mind? Connery, this year's awards ceremony reached a small climax, and at the same time, Sean quietly got up and went backstage.

"Please come here, Mr. Tang, we have 15 minutes to prepare for you." The staff led him to the dressing room.

“xiexie。” Sean nodded politely, then walked briskly to his place, and nearly bumped into a skinny old man.

"Be careful, young man, I've only been here once, and if I have to go back before I play, then ...... That's great. The other party dodged flexibly and said with a smile.

"Oh?" Hearing this interesting answer, Sean involuntarily turned his head around, and then bowed, "Woody? Mr. Allen? ”

"No, I'm not," replied the little old man solemnly, "you know, Woody? Alan never attends the Oscars, so how could I be Woody? Allan. ”

Several staff members around couldn't help but laugh, and Sean couldn't help but smile and shook his head, and then stretched out his hand: "It's nice to see you here, not Woody?" Allen's Woody? Mr. Allen. ”

"I'm glad to meet you, sir whose name you don't know." The other party shook hands and said in a serious tone.

"Sean," Sean said, smiling as he sat to himself, "Sean? Tang Dynasty. ”

"Sean? Tang Dynasty? "Woody? Alan gave a look of surprise, "Yes, I know, the singer who sang "YouRaiseMeUp", right? It was a really good song, a very touching song. ”

"Hmm......" Sean pinched his nose a little embarrassed, "Actually, Mr. Allen, I'm an actor." ”

"Actors?" The little old man blinked, as if he didn't understand.

Then, the staff next to him had to remind: "Two gentlemen, we are short on time. ”

"Okay, let's talk later, Sean." Alan laughed and patted his arm again.

"No problem, Ai...... Woody. Sean nodded, and then followed the staff to put on makeup.

Of course he knows Woody? Allen will participate in this year's Oscars, although he has not been nominated for a single nomination, so the reaction is so fast, he recognizes him as soon as he sees him, and he may not be able to do it if he is replaced by someone else.

After all, this little old man never attends the Oscars, on the grounds that such awards are too subjective and impossible to judge real haode works. Well, whether that's true or not, just because he never attends the awards ceremony, but the film school still awards awards to him, you know how extensive his network is.

All in all, he will appear here at this moment, then there must be a special reason, and this special reason, Sean knows exactly that. Without him, or because of the disaster last year, the impact of the 911 incident on the United States and New York is very far-reaching, not to mention the war in Afghanistan and the Patriot Act, the police cordon in New York is much higher than before, and various inspections at JFK Airport have also increased a lot, which makes people a little uneasy.

Therefore, the film academy invited this little old man, who has lived in New York for many years and made most of the movies that show the style of New York, to make an exception to say a few words at the awards ceremony, introduce New York, and call on filmmakers to continue to make movies in New York to inspire people.

And the reason why Sean knows is because his show is in Woody? After Allen, even though the organizers kept it a secret during the rehearsals - they did a great job of it, and not many people know about it until now, Woody? Alan will be there at the Oscars.

However, these secrecy work is not perfect, so as two programs connected together, it is very simple for Sean to inquire about some news, so he will be sure at a glance just now, instead of thinking that the organizer wants to play a prank or something.

"He's a funny guy, isn't he?" After the little old man left, the staff who touched up Sean's makeup asked with a smile after chatting with him for a few words.

"yes, that's why his films are so good." Sean echoed.

It's not wrong if it's just that, Sean has seen some of the lines he wrote for the organizers, and it's really interesting, with some self-deprecating jokes, and if he reads it on stage himself, it will definitely be even more joyful. So, as this guy says, Woody? Alan is indeed a talented and humorous person.

But Sean didn't have any idea of wanting to work with him, because in Woody? Allen's movies are memorable, they are basically actresses, and it's one thing for a little old man to often play the leading role himself, colleagues......

And Woody? He has watched a few of Allen's movies, but he is not too interested, plus the little old man in his memory, his private life is not very good, and he is just married to his adopted daughter, and he vaguely remembers that in his previous life, he heard that he seemed to have done more than one adopted daughter, and I really don't know what to say.

It's just that, as soon as he thinks of Camilla, Sean finds that he is really not qualified to deal with Woody? Alan made irresponsible remarks.

Well, don't mention this, get acquainted if you have the opportunity, forget it if you don't have the chance, anyway, the other party is based in New York, and some people on the Hollywood side don't necessarily have to know him through him.

Thinking so, Sean waited for the makeup artist to deal with it, tidied up his clothes, recalled the lyrics and brewed emotions, and then came to the edge of the front desk, and on the stage facing thousands of guests, Woody? Allen used his self-deprecating humor.

"I said that other people are more competent than me, and I cited many names, like Martin? Scorsese, Mike? Nichols, Spike? Li, I kept proposing candidates, listing 15 masters who were more talented, witty, and powerful than me, and they said yes, but they weren't available! ”

The following suddenly made a big noise.
