Helicopters hovered over Hollywood, cordons were set up in the streets, and the Kodak Theatre, where the Oscars were held, was protected with the best of skill and manpower. To keep things orderly, there are surveillance cameras, metal detectors, and a police officer in every corner, and even fans who sit in the stands to watch the stars enter the Walk of Fame.

The live broadcast of this year's Oscars also sparked some controversy, due to the fact that Justin ? Timberlake and Jenny? In the scene that Ferrickson made, the organizers had to take a five-second delay on the live program to ensure that no vulgar content was broadcast.

The other is that the award ceremony was held at the end of February, nearly a month earlier than usual.

"Ryan, do you need us to make a public statement in support of you?"

As soon as he walked into the Kodak Theater, Ryan saw Scarlett waiting here? Johnson and Christine? As Stewart, Chubby's words fell, the tomboy shook his fist lightly and said in a voice that only they could hear, "If we see that bastard, we'll knock him on the nose!" ”

"Dear friends, the law will rule fairly." Ryan said nonsense that he didn't even believe, and walked towards the main hall with the two girls, "All you need is moral support, and you should forget about it." ”

The two girls laughed, they were really angry when they learned about this incident, but they knew that they couldn't help much, and they also believed that Ryan could solve it easily, they had known each other for more than ten years, and he had never disappointed.

He has always been their support and umbrella, and they have great confidence in him.

"It's a pity Alison can't walk the red carpet with us." Scarlett in a dark green suspender evening gown? Johnson took the initiative to hold Christine? Stewart, "She can only watch live at home. ”

"Hey, Scarlett, and Christine"

Before entering the main hall. Ryan saw the two girls' arms together and joked, "You have to pay attention to the impact." ”

"Come on, Ryan."

Christine? Stewart wrinkled his nose as Taylor did, Scarlett? Johnson tacitly said, "Massachusetts has passed the gay marriage law, and your thinking is too conservative." ”

"Whatever you want."

Walking into the main hall, Ryan followed the two girls to the seats where the crew of "Lost in Translation" was located, and saw Sophia, who was smiling extraordinarily brightly? Coppola.

"Lost in Translation" not only won a nomination for Best Original Editor, but also made her the third female director and the first American female director to be nominated for an Oscar for Best Director.

"Hi. Sophia, you're so beautiful tonight. ”

"Thank you, Ryan."

Sofia? Coppola stood up and hugged Ryan hard, and these thanks were clearly sincere, "Thank you for your construction, thank you for your investment." ”

"You deserve it, doesn't it?" Ryan patted her on the back lightly, just as he was about to distance the two of them. Sofia? Coppola suddenly said, "That's how you won their hearts?" ”

These words are extremely low, Sophia? Coppola also winked at him.

"Alright, it's time for me to go back to the crew." Ryan didn't respond to Sophia? Coppola's teasing. And with Francisco? Coppola shook hands and walked over to the crew of "Lord of the Rings 3: Return of the King".

Maybe the media doesn't talk much about the lace anymore, but Ryan knows it, in the eyes of those who know him well. His relationship with the trio is no secret at all.

Looking at the tall back in the distance, Sophia? Coppola sighed and sat back in his place.

"Sophia. You'd better just be friends. "Francisco sitting next to her? Coppola suddenly said seriously, "I don't want my daughter to become someone else's mistress. ”

"I know what to choose, Dad."

The other party is indeed very exciting, if it weren't for those three women...... Sofia? Coppola shook his head and said firmly, "Your daughter is very clear-headed. ”

Passing through the main aisle, Ryan shook hands with the person who took the initiative to reach over, and walked to his seat, the "Lord of the Rings" crew can be called the largest crew tonight, not only have all the people who have received eleven nominations have arrived, but even the Ring Guard team has been assembled again, plus Naomi who is in another crew? Watts, the main cast is almost all here.

However, the most beautiful vase princess is missing, Charlize? Theron went to Europe.

She seems determined to start her own fashion career, and Charlize has maintained close ties with the fashion industry for some time, and this trip to Europe is also to meet with a few designers who will join her upcoming fashion brand.

"Guys......" Ryan sat down and looked at Peter? Jackson said to the people around him, "Are you ready to bring back the eleven little golden figures?" ”

"I think we ...... in addition to technical awards"

Ilya in the back? Wood leaned closer, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Probably empty-handed?" ”

"Ilya." Orlando on the other side? Bloom took over, "You mean Peter won't get Best Director?" ”

"Oscar History."

Ian, who was almost labeled Gandalf and Magneto? McLean also spoke, "No director has ever won the best director for a non-realistic theme......"

He patted Jackson on the arm, "Peter, may God bless you." ”

"And the best picture." Peter? Jackson looked at Ryan sympathetically, "I heard that Disney has done a lot of public relations, but will movies with magical themes really be favored by the judges?" ”

"If it's our original theme, it definitely won't." Ryan spread his hands and commented mysteriously, "But don't forget, this is The Lord of the Rings, which has an important place in the history of literature, and Oscar has always liked British literary themes, and most importantly, Tolkien has passed away." ”

A few people around him either blinked or nodded slightly, but Peter? Jackson pinched his chin and said, "According to you, the Harry Potter series has an unparalleled influence in children's literature, and when this series ends, will the academy ......?"

"Absolutely not!" Ryan shook his head slightly.

"Why?" Elias? Wood asked curiously.

"Because I haven't died yet." Ryan looked at the few guys around him who were laughing, and said as a matter of course, "If I'm dead, like Tolkien, the last part of Harry Potter might really be a miracle at the Oscars." ”

The people around him couldn't hold back anymore and laughed at the same time.

However, after laughing, I felt that in the style of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, Ryan had some truth in what he said.

As the time for the awards ceremony approached, the crew gradually quieted down, and Ryan could tell that Peter, who was sitting next to him? Jackson was excited, excited with a hint of nervousness.

From a commercial point of view alone, after the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, the big fat man of New Zealand has completely stepped into the ranks of first-line directors, but if he really wants to become one of the best directors on the planet, he still needs the recognition of an Oscar statuette.

Otherwise, no matter how good you are in business, you are just another Michael? Seashell.

In advance of the predictions of the media and professional bodies, Peter? Jackson is the biggest favorite for best director, and most industry insiders believe that the Oscars will give the series the greatest honor at the end of the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy.

"It's a pity, Peter."

The two chatted for a while, and the topic turned to the recent work, and Ryan said with pity, "You signed a contract with Universal Pictures, and I'm still waiting for you to direct "Elf Diamond." ”

"You know, Ryan." Peter? Jackson made an apologetic gesture, "I'm a crazy King Kong fan besides being a Lord of the Rings, and a remake of King Kong is one of my biggest wishes. ”

Nodding, Ryan said no more, Universal Pictures had an upfront budget of more than $200 million for the film, which was a huge draw for any director.

The movie in the previous life, although it was not too successful, it cannot be said to be a failed work.

After King Kong, Peter? Jackson's idea of frantically piling up special effects will definitely change, and that will be the most powerful for the future "Elf Diamond" series.

Of course, the first actor to be determined in this world is the heroine, Naomi? Watts still got the role.

The music on the stage sounded, Ryan temporarily threw away the thoughts in his head, and with the others clapping his palms together, the 76th Academy Awards ceremony kicked off.

Perhaps because last year's ratings were miserable, this year's awards show has a bit of a retro flavor of the 90s.

Billy? Christo was once again cut into the films that were nominated, and he and Russell? Chloe sets sail in "The Furious Sea", and Johnny? Depp competed in swordsmanship and catwalk, held up the holy sword of Nasir on the screen with Ryan's head cut, took out the mammoth giant elephant as Legolas, and even appeared completely naked......

For the sake of ratings, the comedian really fought hard.

"It's time." Arwen encouraged him.

"Take all the honor you hold dear and get back to the Oscar stage......" shouted Aragorn, who swung his sword on the Prancing Horse.

"You'd better keep up with this job, Mistress Christo." Captain Barbossa, who has turned into a skeleton, solemnly warns.

Finally, he was in the white robe of Jack? Nicholson's escort passed through the White City of St. and came to the Kodak Theater.

"It's your turn." Jack with a cane? Nicholson took off his trademark sunglasses and handed them to Billy? Christo, "Go get a full house, Billy!" ”

"Let me give them a good look!" Billy? Christo put his eyes on and walked into the Kodak Theater. (To be continued......)
