Chapter 370: After the Oscars

"Compared to the other nominees, I deserve it. I wouldn't have been able to play this role well if I didn't know how to love, and I want to thank my family for that. I would also like to thank my father and godfather, both of whom are respectable people. ”

Is this Gwyneth? Paltrow won Best Actress as part of his acceptance speech, but the next day, the media deciphered a myriad of meanings from it.

She is arguably the most unconvincing actress in the nineties, and even in the last two decades. Streep snorted.

"As she said in her acceptance speech, Miss Gwyneth should really be grateful to Mr. Paltrow Sr. and director Spielberg, without whom there would never be her actress."

This is a relatively polite statement, and the sharp-tongued critics have lashed out even more violently.

"I don't know when acting and the role in the movie are no longer the standard for measuring the Oscars, not so much Gwyneth? Paltrow won the award for "Shakespeare in Love", it is better to say that this is a victory for public relations, who knows that she was born in a famous family in Hollywood, her godfather is Spielberg, and her best friend is Drew? Barrymore, still with Ryan? Jenkins has friendships that she has made since she was a girl, and these have become a guarantee for her award. I can responsibly say that the best actress with the lowest gold content in the history of the Oscars was born. ”

After every awards ceremony, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is bombarded by the media, and this time they faced the most controversial one in recent years. In addition to Paltrow's Best Actress, Ryan's failure to win Best Actor also sparked massive protests in North America.

The main force of the protest came from Ryan's fans, who can only be described as massive, according to data released by AC Nielsen. When Fonda took the stage to present the Best Actor, this year's Oscars reached the highest viewership of 59.75 million, and he read Jack? Nicholson's name. The number of viewers plummeted to 38.66 million, and although the number of viewers recovered to more than 40 million, the dissatisfaction caused by this result can be imagined.

Before the awards ceremony ended, the official website of the Oscars poured into countless visitors, who left messages on the message board, believing that the judges were obviously ageist in their treatment of Ryan, and called on everyone to boycott the Oscars, and with the end of the awards ceremony, this situation intensified, which directly led to the paralysis of the official website of the Oscars.

It is said that after a period of busyness. As soon as the official Oscars website was restored, countless people crowded in, which led to paralysis again, and the college had to close the message board section of the Oscars official website, and it has not even been open since.

Naturally, the media will not let go of the opportunity to stir up this hot topic, and they have also published targeted comments.

"Oscar has been around for 70 years now, and despite its growing reputation, the inevitable ageing is well known. Most of the judges are older. Naturally, I feel very kind to the old actors of the same age, so if you want to win the Oscar, you have to stay qualified. Ryan, who is not yet twenty years old? Jenkins has been in Hollywood since the '90s, but the judges clearly think he's too young. You could have waited a few more years. ”

"Even the shocking performance of "Desert Island" can't bring him a Best Actor statuette, we can't understand what the college's judging criteria are? Since they dare to resist the pressure to award Best Actress to the equally young Gwyneth? Paltrow. Why are you dismissive of Ryan? ”

The remarks in the media further stimulated the already dissatisfied fans, and they can even be seen rallying and protesting on the Avenue of Fame.

And from a teenage fan group on New York's Upper East Side. announced on their specially established official website that if Ryan is sad and disappointed because of the loss of Best Actor, they can use all means to warm his wounded mind and body, and when they inherit the family property, they will definitely buy the Oscar, and Ryan will have whatever award he wants......

More radical fans said on the Internet that they wanted to give the president of the academy, Robert? Lem mails bullets.

For this reason, the spokesperson of the film academy specially accepted an interview with reporters, saying, "Judging from Ryan's performance in "The Rest of the Desert Island", his acting skills still have huge room for improvement, and with his age, as long as he does not take the initiative to quit, there is still a long acting career, if he is given the best actor Xiaojinjin now, then when he has a more outstanding role in the future, what should he use to reward him? You can't give him a lifetime achievement award at the age of less than thirty, right? ’

Having dealt with the academy countless times in the past, and being a member of the inner circle, Ryan naturally knew that the pressure should be in moderation, and he immediately updated his personal website after the academy's statement came out.

The general meaning is 'Xie Lu thank you for your support and concern, the college did not award the award to itself, there must be their consideration, I am still young, I can wait, I will work harder in the future.'" ’

Ryan's own attitude has largely eased the pressure on the college, and the current president, Robert Brown, has largely eased the pressure on the college. Lem also made a special call, although what he said was basically clichΓ©s, but it could also be heard that the old men at the core of the academy still had a good impression of Ryan.

This is evident from his mentorship at the USC Film School, where Professor Gretel is a core member.

"Ryan, your collaboration with Robert on "Desert Island Aftermath" has indeed exceeded all of our expectations, don't worry, you should have a more long-term pursuit."

Professor Gretel looked at the young man sitting across the desk, and knew that he couldn't teach him in the same way as a normal student, "I know that your goal is to be a producer who is in control of the overall situation, and you have a lot of practical experience in this area, and I don't think the academy has much to teach you, so if you want, apply for graduation this summer." ”

"That's ......" Ryan scratched his head, as if his credits weren't enough, "Professor......"

"Don't look at me with such innocent eyes." Professor Gretel waved his hand, "The academy teaches practical talents, not theorists, no matter how high the credits are, what is the use of no production experience?" I'll say hello to the school in advance, and besides, what did you do in private, and you don't know what to do? ”

"Okay."

After Professor Gretel waved his hand again, Ryan hurried out of the office.

What did you do in private? But after getting his personal dividends from "The Rest of My Life on a Desert Island", with Robert? Zemeckis has donated $10 million to the USC Film School.

It can be said that it is a common practice in North America for well-known alumni to return to their alma mater after their careers have been successful.

After the Oscars, the media uproar lasted only a few days, after all, this is the center of the entertainment industry in the whole world, there are countless news happening every day, and freshly baked gossip scandals are sometimes easier to attract people's eyes.

At the end of March, Lucasfilm released the trailer for "Star Wars Prequel: The Phantom Menace," which was a Star Wars franchise that stole the limelight almost instantly, even though it won't be released in North America until May.

In the film's advertising campaign a long time ago, it was revealed to the audience that it would be a complete trilogy series, about Luke? Anakin, Skywalker's father? Skywalker and Mother Padmay? Amidala's story, Anakin in the trailer? Skywalker is still a little kid, and the media and the public naturally focus on Padme? Amidala's body.

As Padmay? Amidala's actors, of course they won't let go.

Although there haven't been particularly great films and characters in recent years, Natalie? The name Portman, all too familiar to the media, is she Matilda, she is the acting genius of the year, and most importantly, she is Ryan? Jenkins' best friend.

Even, many media have wondered if they are dating in private, but they have not been able to get any evidence.

Long Island High School became a focal point for reporters, and Natalie's harassment was understandable, and she soon called Ryan, who had just arrived in Warsaw, to complain.

"I'm reviewing my homework, it's the most intense time for me to study, those guys are chattering around me, and if I don't get into Harvard, I'm going to kill them all!"

"Dear Nat, you just treat them as air." Faced with the girl who was throwing a little tantrum, Ryan could only answer like this.

"I can't study in peace, you know, Ryan, I'm preparing for the SAT test, and I want to win the National Scholar Award."

"In this case, I'll have people increase the number of bodyguards around you......"

"Don't."

Before Ryan could finish, Natalie on the phone interrupted, "I'm just a middle school student now......"

"It's better than that."

It seems that it was the slightly cold air of Warsaw that inspired Ryan, "You go to George and ask him to show more new news about the movie to divert the attention of reporters." ”

"What's new." Ryan's words seemed to make Natalie think of a good idea, "Ryan, I'll go talk to Director Lucas, and, hmm...... If there are journalists who besiege you in Warsaw, don't blame me. ”

Listening to the beeping sound on the phone, Ryan was very strange, what is Natalie going to do?

This confusion didn't last long, Pie? Kingsley quickly called, and Ryan nodded in agreement, even if it was to reduce the trouble on Natalie's side.

At a later moment when Ryan nodded, Lucasfilm announced another explosive news in the Star Wars prequel series, making this unreleased film completely the focus of attention in the entertainment industry, even in North America. (To be continued......)
