Chapter 301 New company plan
PS: Oh, the new month has begun, and today is still four updates! Dear friends, please smash the ones in your hands.
If you include the unsuccessful audition experience in 1987, Nicole has been in Hollywood for a full ten years, and was nominated for Best Supporting Actress three times during this period and once for Best Actress, but she never had a chance with Xiao Jinren. Just tonight, she finally won the trophy that represents the highest honor for the actor. It would be strange if she was not excited or unhappy.
Once people get too excited, they will do something extraordinary. In addition, so many people gather around to socialize, Nicole can't help but drink a few more drinks and is already a little drunk.
"Ryan, this is the second happiest day in my life." Nicole pointed him from a distance, "This feeling is really wonderful."
"But I heard that those who win the Best Actress will be unlucky for three years." Ryan handed the wine glass to the waiter passing by, and couldn't help but slight blow, "Are you ready?"
"Do I need to prepare?" Nicole leaned forward, as if she wanted to strengthen her tone in this way. "Don't forget, the trilogy I'm filming, but you have carefully prepared it. If it fails, I..."
Seeing Harvey Weinstein coming with someone, Nicole quickly closed her mouth. Although she always liked to show a strong look, she also knew that in public, she had to leave enough room for maneuver or face for her beloved.
"Congratulations yet, our best actress!"
As soon as Harvey Weinstein finished speaking, Nicole laughed and said, "So, should I notify the crew to increase the pay?"
"I have no objection as long as Ryan agrees."
Turning around, Harvey Weinstein introduced the person behind the two, "Ryan, Nicole, this is director Stephen Somos."
"Hello. Ryan! Hello, Nicole!"
The other party was about thirties, and when he was smart and capable, he took the initiative to come forward and greet him.
"That's right, Ryan."
After both sides said hello, Harvey Weinstein directly expressed his intention, "Stephen has an idea. It's quite interesting, and I think it's very valuable to invest."
Harvey Weinstein's eyes have always been good. Hearing that he said, Ryan couldn't help looking at the man, his head quickly turned, and immediately remembered who the director was.
"Stephen, can you ask at ease?" Ryan has always been very cautious about investment.
"Of course." Stephen Somos nodded.
"If I remember correctly, you should have been working with Disney. Why did you come to us?" Ryan pointed to Harvey Weinstein. The conflict between them and Michael Eisner and Disney was not a secret to Hollywood.
"Disney rejected this project." Stephen Somos was inevitably a little lonely. "After the failure of "Extreme Cold", they lost their trust in me."
"Extreme Cold"? Ryan thought about it for a while, but he had no impression. It should be a movie that was not very successful. You can find out after a random look.
"Can you know the concept of your new script?" Ryan asked tentatively.
"sure."
Seeing the other party nodding, Ryan simply took them out of the banquet hall and asked the hotel for a reception room as a place for detailed discussion.
It was getting late. Stephen went straight to the topic, "This is a story about Egypt, related to Pharaoh, mummies and tomb robbers..."
The most basic thing for a director to impress investors is to have a good story. Although Stephen Somos's conception is far from mature, it has a rough prototype.
After a while, Stephen Somos stopped and looked at Ryan expectantly. Who knew that this person had huge cash flow? Not to mention investing in a movie, there was no problem in investing in several movies at the same time.
"That's it. Stephen." Ryan confirmed the desired result. "I'm very interested in this story. You get the script as soon as possible. The director's position and investment are not a problem."
Then, he looked at the fat man again, "Have, where are you?"
Harvey Weinstein shook his head invisibly, Ryan nodded understandingly, and asked someone to send Stephen Somos away.
"What happened, Harvey?" Ryan was very surprised. Every time he encountered an opportunity, this guy couldn't wait to invest. Why was he silent this time?
“Bob and I have had some trouble lately.”
The interests of both sides are closely related, and the friendship that has been established over the years, Harvey Weinstein's words are very direct, "The Disney Board of Directors, to be precise, is Michael Eisner who wants to kick us out."
This is really troublesome. No matter what, Disney is the largest shareholder of Miramax. If you really want to control Miramax's management, the Weinstein brothers may not be able to withstand it for too long.
"Then what were you and Bob's plans?" Ryan understood that the other party was definitely not here to complain.
"Find a way to set up Michael Eisner and transfer their shares at a high price, then jump out of Disney's quagmire, and use the capital Bob and I accumulated over the years to re-establish a film company."
Harvey Weinstein seemed to have made up his mind. He looked over and asked extremely seriously, "Ryan, don't know what you promised back then..."
"I'm very interested in becoming a shareholder in a new company." Ryan promised.
"And there is me." Nicole opened her blurred eyes.
"Okay, Ryan, Nicole, let's just let's do something big!"
Although he knew that the other party had a very good reputation, he received personal guarantees and Harvey Weinstein's confidence increased greatly.
"Is there a specific time plan? If possible, let this work directed by Somos be the first film of the new company."
"No, no, no, Ryan." Harvey Weinstein suddenly shook his finger, "I think you seem to have forgotten that Bob and I invested in "The Matrix" in private."
After he reminded him, Ryan naturally thought about it and couldn't help but smile. The Weinstein brothers had already prepared a way out for him.
Of course, this was just a simple intention. After all, it was not easy for the Weinstein brothers to transfer their shares in Miramax and set up a new film company. It took time.
The 70th Oscars have come to an end, but the feast that belongs to the media is far from over. There are too many things worthy of writing at this award ceremony.
On the second day after the award ceremony, almost all media outlets added supplements, with either a photo of Ryan and the twelve little golden men or the irresistible ship.
"Great record! Great Titanic! Great Ryan Jenkins!"
The Los Angeles Times posted such a striking and huge title on the front page, as if only in this way can the theme of the Oscars last night be highlighted.
"Twelve Little Golden Man! "Titanic" lives up to expectations and creates a brand new Oscar winning record. "My Heart Eternal" almost became the main theme of last night's award ceremony! Although Ryan lost three of the four nominations and only won the best original song of comfort, Little Golden Man created the most glorious moment in Oscar history. Don't forget that Nicole Kidman's Best Actress and Blue Sky Studio's Best Animated Short Film are closely related to him! He deserves the banner of Hollywood movies!"
In addition to Ryan, the newspaper also commented specifically on Nicole's Best Actress.
"Nicole Kidman's best actress is definitely worthy of her reputation. Looking at all the nominees, whether in terms of qualifications, fame, or the most important acting skills, she has an absolute advantage. The only thing that makes people worry is luck. God seems to have seen the efforts of this Australian actress and finally returned her honor to her!"
Nicole's Best Actress is definitely the least controversial among the four most important awards. To be precise, except for the very few people who oppose it, most of the media are her staunch supporters, and there are even comments saying, "Judy Foster and Nicole Kidman are the two most important actresses born in the 1990s!"
Of course, the public is born with sympathy for the weak, and there are many people who criticize "Los Angeles Secret", especially some people who like nostalgia and literary style.
"Los Angeles Secret" is definitely more qualified to win the best movie than Titanic! But the Academy would rather choose CG special effects than award it. This is a shame. Art actually lost to business! If there was no box office of up to $2 billion, would the judges still choose Titanic?"
This kind of voice is difficult to occupy the mainstream. After all, the success of "Titanic" has brought hidden benefits to the entire Hollywood.
However, many people pointed the artillery fire at the madman James Cameron. As for the reason, it was naturally his last speech to win the award.
"James Cameron finally fulfilled his dream of being the best director, but this tyrant on the set showed his arrogant side - I am the king of the world - think about it, how inflated he has to be to say such words! This is definitely the worst award-winning speech ever made by the Oscars!"
"Compared with the former truck driver, Ryan Jenkins showed good education. Even though he lost the best original script and best actor one after another, he still maintained his own style. Finally, the rap-like thanks and touching comments on the best film are the biggest highlight of this year's Okas."
No matter how controversial, comment, or criticize, the Oscar Little Golden People already have their own belongings, and these voices have nothing to do with the overall situation.
