Chapter 418: The Best Movie of the Nineties
"Difficulties exist in every corner of our lives, but we are never afraid of them."
Ryan was dressed as Aragon, sitting in the rest of the studio, looking at the extremely thin teenager next to him, as if he saw himself ten years ago, "Brave New Zealander, can I know your name?" ”
"John? Tetru. The boy's face took on an unhealthy pale.
Is he Peter? Jackson specially invited to watch the crew filming, this New Zealand teenager is also a Lord of the Rings fan, unfortunately he has reached the terminal stage of cancer, after reading the relevant reports in the newspaper, the fat director specially contacted the medical institution, brought him here, and helped him fulfill his greatest wish in the last days.
"John, you must have read the Lord of the Rings, right?"
After the other nodded, Ryan continued, "Frodo? Baggins' skies were always shrouded in darkness, but he didn't give up and finally completed his mission. ”
"I'll be strong too." The boy looked at Ryan expectantly, "Can we take a picture?" ”
"Absolutely." Ryan agreed without hesitation, and then called the crew's cameraman, "Fanny, bring us a few group photos." ”
The boy grabbed the sword at his waist and let the flash light go on.
"Wait."
After the teenage mother came over, Ryan called out to them and ran to the prop team to ask for a prop dagger, "John, this is the elven dagger that Aragorn wears with him, I hope he can give you courage." ”
"Thank you, Ryan." The boy gently hugged him and walked out of the studio with his mother.
The other party's weak body couldn't support it for too long, and he had to go back to rest.
Sitting back in his chair, Ryan was taken by John? Tetru's look as if he was thin when he was a child touched his heart that was getting harder and harder, and after thinking quietly for a while, he called an assistant nearby.
"Rosie. Check John's medical institution, and I will pay for his future medical expenses, and donate a million dollars to the relevant cancer research organization in New Zealand. ”
In the face of death's call, there wasn't much he could do.
Ryan's remaining scenes are mostly scattered, today he is still fighting orcs under Minastiris, tomorrow he will appear in front of the set of the Fagon Forest, being tested by white-robed wizards, and occasionally riding Brigo in the wild.
From the third day of his arrival. The crew is once again in Aragon, prioritizing the filming of scenes related to King Elisa, Ryan can't stay here for long, and there are still two crews waiting for him in distant London.
A few days after Ryan arrived at the crew's residence, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced the list of nominees for the 72nd Academy Awards.
Not surprisingly, the nomination for Best Actor, which he cares about the most, appears on this list.
"The Pianist" received a total of four nominations for Best Director, Best Picture, Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Actor, although not much. But three of them are heavyweight nominations.
Related to Ryan and Jenkins Films, it was "The Matrix", which was nominated for four technical awards for Best Sound, Best Editing, Best Sound Editing and Best Visual Effects.
Even if the reputation is extremely good. Sci-fi films still can't escape the fate of being discriminated against by the Oscars.
With the nomination for Best Actor in "The Pianist", Ryan is Ryan's fourth consecutive nomination since "Cat and Mouse Game", "Titanic" and "Desert Island Survivor". But presumably the film school will face a lot of pressure.
Shortly after receiving the nomination list, Ryan received a request to the Pie? Kingsley's phone.
"Ryan, do you need me and Harvey to go all out for PR?" As a matter of fact. It's too late to exert force now, but it's better to do it than not to do it.
"No, Pat, just follow the normal rhythm."
Ryan doesn't think the older judges will vote for him, especially this time when he faces a tough competitor - Kevin? Spacey!
"American Beauty" is a mainstream movie that can no longer be mainstream, and it must be supported by the vast majority of judges, and Kevin? Spacey, in terms of actor status alone, whether it is age or qualifications, he has an absolute advantage.
Of course, Ryan wouldn't mind if the academy cramped and gave him that little golden man, although that might not be particularly big.
Just hung up and didn't long get out of the trailer, Ilya? Wood, Orlando? Bloom and Ian, who likes to hang out with young people? McLean and other active members of the crew came over, and it seemed that they had come to look for him specifically.
"Wow, Ryan, for the fourth consecutive Best Actor nomination, you should be treated!" There's still some distance between them, Ilya? Wood began to scream.
"Ian has only been nominated for an Oscar for so many years?" Orlando? Bloom walked over quickly, "Peter didn't shoot the plan at night, why don't we go to the pub in Queenstown?" ”
"This ...... Not quite suitable to put. Ryan winked his eyes at the British boy, and he immediately understood, Ian? McLean only goes to the regular bar, which is not for them, "Then let's find an open space and have a little celebratory dinner." ”
"Now, call Peter, and a few others, and we'll have a barbecue party in the open space outside the station."
Ryan's proposal was immediately approved by everyone, George immediately called for people to prepare, and when a few people were about to go back to change clothes, Ryan said, "Don't forget to call John?" Tetru. ”
"Don't worry, Ryan, we've got you covered."
Whether out of sympathy or for other reasons, John, who was seriously ill? Tetru was unanimously approved by the crew and became the most popular object.
After the sun set, the headlights outside the crew's station illuminated a large open space as bright as day, and several huge barbecue grills stood in the most conspicuous places, and the barbecue chef specially hired from Queenstown made fresh barbecue meat with a strong New Zealand flavor, which was delivered to several tables around the crowd.
"Sam? Mendes was nominated for Best Director for his first time at the helm of a film. ”
After a glass of beer, Peter? Jackson shook his head, and the envy in his tone could be heard by anyone.
"Hey, Peter, he's just lucky." Ian with old qualifications? McKellen patted the big fat man on the shoulder, "Maybe you can get a few nominations with the trilogy." ”
Ryan nodded approvingly and put down the food in his hand, "Peter, I bet you that when our elaborate trilogy, one succeeds more than the last, the Oscars will bow to non-realistic films for the first time. ”
"That's how you fooled James back then? Cameron's? "Peter? Jackson was visibly lacking in confidence.
"How about we make a bet?" Ryan raised an eyebrow at him.
"Bet on what?"
"If the Lord of the Rings franchise can get you the best director, how about selling me your stake in Weta Studios?" Ryan was kidding, of course, how many adults with a normal IQ would bet on such a thing?
Peter? Jackson also knew this, and also joked back, "If you lose, give me Pixar Studios for free?" ”
Everyone laughed at the same time, and then they immediately raised their glasses without knowing who shouted 'Cheers'.
"Ryan, do you think director Polanski will win the best director?"
Orlando? Bloom is gossipy, everyone knows Polanski's condition, and if he can win the best director, it will definitely be very interesting.
Of course, it would be even more exciting if he could come to Los Angeles to receive the award in person.
"It's hard to say." Ryan shrugged.
In fact, he just signed up for the other party, but did not put much effort into public relations, and if Polanski himself did not act, this little golden figure would definitely not belong to him.
"And who's your favorite pick?" It was Peter who was asking? Jackson.
"Am I personally bullish on Sam? Mendez. Ryan vaguely remembers this director, firstly because of "American Beauty", and secondly, because of him and Kate? Winslet was married.
It seems that none of his later works are as good as the other, I don't know if Lu Dao is a problem of personal level, or a tragedy caused by too high a starting point.
"But good multimedia say that 'The Pianist' is the best movie of the year." Elias? Wood said confusedly.
"Dear Frodo? Mr. Baggins. Ryan put on a very serious look, "Don't forget, there are also good multimedia that say that "American Beauty" is the best movie after entering the 90s." ”
"Just take a look at what the media and film critics say."
Experienced Ian? McLean waved his hand as if to chase away flies, "Don't take it too seriously. ”
Sean who is taking care of her daughter? Austin looked up and looked directly, "Ryan, what do you think is the best movie in the nineties?" ”
"Me?" Ryan pointed at himself, then smiled, and said mysteriously, "You can guess." ”
"The Shawshank Redemption?"
"Forrest Gump?"
"The Sixth Sense?"
"'Desert Island Aftermath'?"
"It can't be Home Alone, right?" Elias? Wood's unreliable answer drew condemnation.
"Alright, Ryan, you say it yourself."
Ryan smiled, and just wanted to say the answer, when a crisp voice suddenly came from the direction of the gate of the station behind him, "Of course it's "Titanic"!" ”
"For what?" Someone asked rhetorically.
"Because "Titanic" has triggered an unprecedented movie-watching trend in the whole world, it is also the movie with the widest audience and the most popular with the audience." The voice's explanation seemed to make a lot of sense, but the next addition made everyone stay on the spot, "The more important reason is that "Titanic" has the highest box office and makes the most money, as if someone has become a billionaire just by virtue of the profits from this movie and the surrounding areas."
