Chapter 289 Nomination announcement

Every awards season, especially a while before the official announcement of the Oscar nomination, Hollywood is definitely in a state of being full of demons and agency public relations. The Oscars ceremony is the best publicity show for celebrities of all sizes. If you can't even get the ticket, how about anything else?

In addition to those who can be involved in the nomination, those second-tier stars or new movie stars all tried their best to contact each other, hoping to get invitations from the organizing committee and become one of the guests or invitations.

Publicity and public relations can be said to be a very profound science. When you have something to do but the picture is huge, you cannot say it directly, so as not to arouse people's disgust and become the target of public criticism. You must master the degree and the psychological bottom line of the college.

Every year when the PR war is at its most intense, someone will secretly receive some obscure warnings. If you don’t know how to restrain yourself at this time, the film school will never mind throwing them to the media to show your fairness and justice.

Even if there are risks, countless celebrities still spend a lot of money and hire the most famous public relations company, because they may not get a small gold man if they do it. If they don’t, they will almost certainly miss the award.

The Golden Globe Award, Directors' Union Award, etc. have long announced the nominations. "Titanic" has become a major nominee and is also the film with the highest award-winning voice. The only remaining suspense is how many nominations will the School of Film Arts and Sciences give it?

As for another key film, "Irene Brockevich", due to the release time, he missed most award nominations, including the Golden Globes, and seemed to be a few steps behind his competitors.

Over the years, Ryan established a huge network of relationships in Hollywood and dealt with many core members of the academy. Although his PR skills are several levels worse than those of Harvey Weinstein, he has a lot of experience.

He stared at the media and Hollywood coldly, and Garcia Rodriguez kept passing the latest news, and his contact number with Harvey Weinstein would ring several times a day.

"Harvey, if necessary, you can give up all the performance awards in "Titanic" and strive for the best actress!"

Ryan's words can be said to represent his attitude towards a certain little golden man.

This year's Oscars are not a matter of searching for the Academy. Because the Oscars are about to celebrate their seventieth birthday. As for the date of the award ceremony, it is set in late March. According to convention, the organizing committee announced all nominations about two months in advance.

When Ryan saw the nomination list, the heart that Ryan had been holding finally fell back into his stomach.

"Eileen Brockevich" won five nominations for Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor, Best Original Screenplay, Best Director, and Best Picture.

"Titanic" won a total of 16 nominations for Best Makeup, Best Editing, Best Photography, Best Soundtrack, Best Art Direction, Best Costume Design, Best Visual Effects, Best Original Song, Best Supporting Actress, Best Actress, Best Director, Best Picture, etc.!

That’s right! It’s not the fourteen nominations that were once, but sixteen!

As for the two additional nominations, they have a direct relationship with Ryan, namely the Best Original Screenplay and the Best Actor!

The entire set of PR work can be described as a big win, especially the best actor in "Titanic", which is the least sure nomination for Ryan and Harvey Weinstein.

Strictly speaking, Ryan's performance in the movie is indeed much better than Xiao Li, who was young in his previous life, but his overly handsome appearance is a big problem.

However, compared with Xiao Li in his previous life, his identity and influence are completely incomparable. He is the leader of the entire "Titanic" project and one of the most popular figures in Hollywood commercial films. The movie that ranks first and second in total box office in film history is closely related to him.

To put it bluntly, this is the main reason why Oscars are "dismissed" by the so-called European directors. It will bow to business and be disturbed by too many external factors.

Of course, if the Oscars would nominate them, these "disdainful" guys would definitely run over with a shameless face.

Besides, are the three major European film festivals very fair? They are just sharing cakes.

Because all resources were spent on "Titanic" and "Irene Brockevich", several other films were inevitably affected, such as "The Man in Black", which swept the Christmas season and had a box office of more than $200 million in North America. It received several nominations in its previous life, but all of them were vanished in this life.

Ryan didn't care. In addition to the heroine, the other nominations were just by the way. Now "Titanic" has won a unique record in nomination, and the next one is naturally the winning record.

After the nomination list was announced, the whole Hollywood suddenly became excited, and all the media immediately responded. The editor-in-chief of the big newspapers and tabloids roared at the reporters and paparazzi under his command.

"I don't care what method you use, you must let Ryan Jenkins speak. If you don't get enough news, you will be at the door of his manor 24 hours a day and follow him around the clock! I only need news about Ryan Jenkins, no reason or excuse!"

Less than two hours after the list was released, hundreds of reporters blocked the door of Jenkins Manor, and all those close to Ryan were taken care of.

Pigsley, James Cameron and others have all become the focus of media attention.

Even Natalie, who was far away in New York, was blocked by reporters and paparazzi while out, and had to express her opinion.

"I think this is normal. This guy Ryan has broken a series of Hollywood records. It's no big deal to break a few more."

Normal? No big deal? Many reporters want to stuff the microphone into the mouth of the girl with a calm face. Now, in the 1990s, when operations are becoming increasingly standardized and competition is extremely fierce, it is normal for a movie to get 16 nominations?

Well, they knew that this girl was also a genius, and perhaps only geniuses could understand the genius' thinking.

"Miss Natalie, do you think Ryan's performance in "Titanic" is really worthy of the best actor nomination?" Some reporters were unwilling to give up and wanted to take out some exclusive content.

"The Academy is the most authoritative organization in the film industry. Since Ryan has been recognized by them, it means everything, isn't it?" Natalie's words seemed so natural.

In fact, not only Natalie, but many Hollywood professionals have accepted media interviews and expressed some opinions.

"Titanic is a great masterpiece. You can compare each nomination to the movie and you will find that it deserves any of these sixteen nominations!" Spielberg did not hide his recognition and praise for the movie. "As for Ryan, I don't think I need to say anything, right? "Jurassic Park" and "Titanic" are enough to prove his talent and ability! I don't think that even the past fifty years, similar characters will appear in Hollywood again."

"Yes, I don't deny that I played a leading role in the pre-preparation and post-production of the movie. However, the creativity and conception of the entire film came from Ryan, especially the key suggestions he made in it, which saved us from many detours. It can be said that without him, there would be no such great masterpiece!" James Cameron talked about the performance again, "Is there any problem with Ryan's performance in it? Absolutely no! His performance can even be described as perfect, and this nomination is what he deserves!"

"Do you know, in 1993, Ryan stood in front of me and asked, 'Hey, Harvey, are you interested in co-producing a movie, investing at least 200 million US dollars!' How shocked was that? But his perseverance, his confidence, his determination, and his talent, all clearly told me that if you participate, it would be an epic victory!" Harvey Weinstein talked in front of the reporter, "As for the result? I think everyone has seen it now, right?"

"I have never seen a creator who can grasp the tastes of the audience better than Ryan. As we all know, he is best at old wines in new bottles. Unlike others, every time he returns to the old wines, he always hits the needs of the audience and always succeeds. I believe everyone knows that the story of "Titanic" is a mutated "Romeo and Juliet". Just such a story that has been used repeatedly for hundreds of years, Ryan can still write different flavors." When George Lucas returned to California from the location, he also accepted an interview with reporters, "Titanic will become the benchmark for Hollywood commercial films, and Ryan has become our banner!"

"Titanic is indeed a big production that is more versatile than commercial, but the thoughts about society, human nature, and emotions contained in it cannot be ignored. It has strong practical significance and represents the highest level of Hollywood film industry technology. I think the sixteen nominations are not too much."

The spokesperson of the School of Film Arts and Sciences also expressed some official opinions at the routine press conference, "As for the nomination for Ryan Jenkins for Best Actor, I think his outstanding performance in the movie is enough to prove that this nomination is well deserved! Yes, his performance is a little problem, but it has more highlights. We can't ignore his efforts just because of his appearance, right?"

The official statement is enough to suppress many doubts. It has to be said that the huge halo behind Ryan and the active and hard-working public relations work played a huge role.
