Chapter 40: Oscar nominations

In February, the crew moved to Nevada, and because the filming schedule was far ahead of Jihua, Cameron made adjustments to the crew, and Ryan got two weeks off and returned to the school, which was already full of strangeness to him.

For Ryan, the school is really happy and headache, happy that the school has such a star student, can play a signboard, get more students, headache he always asks for leave, as short as a few weeks, as long as a few months, fortunately, his grades have been good, the guardian is also generous, so far, the school has received two sponsorships worth 100,000 US dollars.

Sitting in the classroom, Ryan rarely didn't write and draw, and seemed to be listening carefully to the lecture, but in fact, he was already out of the world.

"Home Alone" gradually withdrew from North American theaters, taking more than $280 million at the North American box office, and despite Disney's private work, the film is almost impossible to surpass "The Sixth Sense", but the second place in the box office list is definitely secure.

After entering the New Year, a new awards season kicked off, and "The Sixth Sense" received a lot of nominations and awards, especially himself, being nominated for Best Supporting Actor at both the Chicago Film Critics Association and the Golden Globes, and even the Young Star Award gave him a big hat for Best Young Actor.

Of course, he didn't attend any of these awards, and all of them were done by Jinsilie, otherwise he would have to die of exhaustion.

Frankly speaking, in addition to the Oscars, he doesn't pay attention to other awards, even the Golden Globes.

Although in North America, the Golden Globe Awards are the only film awards that are the Oscars, but they have always been criticized for being shady, and he doesn't want to mix more in it, besides, pie? Kingsley and Harvey? Weinstein put almost all of his energy into Oscar PR.

Yes, the Oscars are fair, but they are not unaffected, of course, the impact here is not to stuff money or engage in shady, it is to find their own death, which really violates the bottom line of the film school, they don't mind throwing you in front of the public to show their fairness and justice.

You know, many of the judges of the academy haven't even seen the nominated film before voting, and the person who can find a clip to watch is already in charge, so what is the basis for their voting?

Media coverage and reviews from well-known film critics!

There is no doubt that the closer the film is to the awards season, the more advantageous it is, and in this regard, "The Sixth Sense" is undoubtedly going to fall behind.

But with the popularity of "Home Alone", he once again became the focus of the media, and even "The Sixth Sense" was pulled out by many media, and compared it with this purely funny movie, which can be regarded as a free promotion for him.

These are definitely not enough, as early as around the New Year, the public relations battle of "The Sixth Sense" has begun, Ryan and Miramax jointly funded and bought the entire twelve pages of "Vanity Fair" and "The Hollywood Reporter", and began to build momentum for "The Sixth Sense", and he gave the "Los Angeles Times" a scoop that the third episode of Harry Potter will be released in March.

And this month, "The Sixth Sense" won the vote of the American audience as the favorite movie of 1990, which is another weight.

What they do is just to get an Oscar nomination, so as to get a ticket, as for winning the award, it depends not only on strength, but also on luck, "The Sixth Sense" is another thriller, there is a congenital weakness, in Miramax's PR jihua, as long as you can get any little golden man, it is a big victory.

When the bell rang for the end of school, Ryan packed his things, took out his backpack from the locker, and walked towards the school gate, not far before Jerry and Peter chased after him.

"Ryan, is it true that the third episode of Harry Potter will be published in March?" Jerry asked.

"That's right." Ryan nodded.

"Are you done with it? Can you let us see first? Peter smiled flatteringly.

"I'm done."

Just when the eyes of the two guys lit up, he made a helpless gesture, "I have mailed it to the publishing house, and I have not left a manuscript." ”

Seeing that the two of them were a little depressed, Ryan sighed, "That's it, when I get the sample book, I can show it to you first, but I am not allowed to pass it on." ”

"No problem! We guarantee it! ”

Ryan had just walked out of the school gate, and immediately found that the situation was wrong, one after another flashing lights were connected, as if they could dazzle the eyes of blind people, there were twenty or thirty reporters, like big green-headed flies that smelled blood, and instantly surrounded them, behind them, I don't know which strange TV station, even the TV broadcast truck drove over.

He himself was fine, after all, he had experienced bigger and more chaotic scenes than this, while Jerry and Peter beside him were so frightened that their faces turned pale and their bodies trembled.

Fortunately, the reporters targeted him and did not embarrass his two classmates.

"Ryan, I'm Ovany on FOX, and I want to ask you how you feel about being nominated for an Oscar?" The fastest reporter, although stopped by George, the security guard who rushed out of the school, stretched out the microphone and shouted desperately.

"Ryan, at the age of just eleven, you were nominated for an Oscar......"

"Oscar?" Ryan seemed to understand something, and then raised his voice, "Quiet! ”

"Guys, please keep order, you're so messy, I can't hear anything." Ryan pointed to his ear and quickly found an acquaintance, Mick of the Los Angeles Times? Taylor, "Mick, what the hell is going on?" ”

"Ryan, this afternoon the Academy of Motion Pictures just announced the list of nominees for the 63rd Academy Awards, and "The Sixth Sense" received six nominations, namely Best Picture, Best Director, Best Supporting Actress, Best Supporting Actor, Best Original Screenplay and Best Film Editing, of which you received two nominations!" Mick? Taylor said it in one breath.

"I see!"

No wonder these guys are crazy, but he doesn't have too many surprises and surprises, after all, the film has also been nominated for many Oscars in his previous life, although he can't remember how many.

"Ryan, what do you think?" Someone asked impatiently.

"Thank you so much for the recognition from the Film Academy, it's my honor, Xiexie!" This sentence is a must-say, this is the authoritative liliang.

"Do you think you're going to win?"

"You'll find out after the Oscars are over." He shrugged.

"The Sixth Sense and Home Alone both got close to $300 million at the box office, how did you do that?"

"That's a team effort." Ryan wasn't going to be led by them.

"In the history of the Oscars, only The Exorcist and Jaws have been nominated for Best Picture in horror films, and Sixth Sense is the third, do you think it will be an unprecedented breakthrough?"

"Let's ask the academy this question." Ryan rolled his eyes, eager to tell him that the breakthrough would be next year, in a movie called The Silence of the Lambs.

"Ryan, there have been several couples who have publicly declared you their lost child lately......"

At this moment, a group of people forced their way in, but it was Nicole's assistant who came to pick him up, and when he saw that there were reporters at the door, he immediately realized that the situation was not good, and called for support from the school.

Escorted by several male teachers, Ryan and the three got into the car, and when the car drove down the road, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'm sorry, Jerry, Peter, for getting you involved." The two classmates were still a little shocked, and the boy had to pat them on the arm.

"I didn't ...... Never mind. ”

Although they know that Ryan is a star now, there is no clear concept of how famous he is for children of this age, and after today's scene, they finally understand something.

"Where is your home? I'll send you back first. ”

……

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is Fox TV's news program, just today the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced the list of nominees for the 63rd Academy Awards. Jenkins, who was nominated for Best Original Screenplay and Best Supporting Actor for his performance in The Sixth Sense, is now in front of St. John's Elementary School, where Ryan attends...... He's out, Ryan ......"

Ryan ...... Ryan? Jenkins left the school in a car after answering a few questions from reporters, and we will wait and see if he can win an Oscar......

Natalie? Heschler stared, after watching the show on TV, he couldn't tell what it was like in his heart, that nasty guy, in just one year, he became a dazzling star, when will he shine?

"Nat, why are you distracted?" The mother sitting on the other side asked.

"Huh? Mom. Natalie gestured to the TV, "I'm just happy for Ryan." ”

Back in her room, sitting at her desk, Natalie was a little distracted, and directly across from her was a picture frame with a photo of her and Ryan, the same one he had taken in front of her house the last time he came.

In the blink of an eye, half a year has passed, and she can still only perform on the community stage, and he is about to appear on the big stage of the Oscars!

Not long after returning home, Ryan received a lot of congratulatory calls. Kingsley's, Touchstone Pictures, Miramax's, Harvey? Weinstein's and so on.

"It's a shame, Al, you didn't get nominated for Best Actor." He said into the microphone.

"It's okay, there's always a chance." Al? Pacino's mentality is really good.

Similarly, Ryan also made congratulatory calls to others, such as David? Finch, the director was very influenced by him, not only did he change his debut, but he also won a nomination for Best Director for the first time when he was in charge of the film director, whether it was good or bad for him, the boy couldn't tell.

Of course, it was Nicole who was the happiest, and she kissed Ryan several times on the face in a fit of emotion, and you can understand her mood when you think about what the mainstream media says about her - her acting skills are as amazing as her beauty.
