As in previous sessions, Ryan did not attend the nominee luncheon, and, again, there was no personal nomination for him this time.

On this nomination list, the first song of "The Lord of the Rings" undoubtedly became the biggest winner, and won thirteen nominations including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Supporting Actor, Best Art Director and Best Original Song.

According to previous practice, the more nominations the film is, the greater the chance of winning the best film. However, the first song of "The Lord of the Rings" is definitely not in this ranks, after all, there are two films that have not been released later.

Another winner comes from "The Moulin Rouge", which was invested by Nicole. This film released by 20th Century Fox, has achieved the best results in musical and dance films in recent years. Not only has the box office in North America been rising all the way, it has also been recognized by the School of Film Arts and Sciences, and has won eight nominations, including Best Picture, Best Makeup, Best Editing, Best Actress and Best Clothing Design.

The competition between Oscars, DreamWorks and Jenkins Films in recent years has almost become the theme on the stage, and this one is no exception.

"Beautiful Heart" produced by DreamWorks and starring Russell Clowe won eight nominations including Best Actor, Best Director, Best Picture, etc.

The focus of Ryan's public relations, "The Devil" lived up to expectations and helped Charlize Theron get the second Oscar nomination for Best Actress in his life.

Of course, this is also the only nomination this film has received.

Sitting in the new office of Disney headquarters building, Ryan saw the nomination list and realized that he had overlooked too many things. It was quite difficult for Charlize Theron to win the Best Actress.

Needless to say, the pressure from Nicole is too much. The Australian girl has no intention of giving in. Since the preview of "The Moulin Rouge", Pai Jinsli and others have been working hard to communicate for her. Although the character image is too beautiful and will not become the first choice for judges, her many years of connections and relationship networks are far beyond her previous life. It is not impossible to win an upset award.

But the biggest threat comes from the color of the skin. Ryan saw several extremely familiar names from the nomination list, Will Smith, "Training Day" Denzel Washington, and Harry Berry, "Dance of the Death Prisoner".

This seems to be the first time since 1972 that three black movie stars were shortlisted for the Best Actor and Actress.

Then, Ryan gradually remembered the winning situation of this Oscar in his previous life. Whether it was the best actor or the best actor, he was later criticized by many people as one of the biggest parallel products.

Because skin color has become their biggest help in winning the award.

If they change to any class, their skin color will only bring a point reduction effect, but 911 just passed, unity is the mainstream voice now, and black actors and actresses are undoubtedly the best reflection of mainstream voices.

It's really troublesome!

Ryan couldn't help but scratch his head. Oscar's fairness and justice are always relative. Movies and characters are just the most basic conditions for determining the ownership of the award.

Thinking of this, he called Spielberg and David Geffen, and they probably would have the same feeling.

In some ways, black movie stars may win very much, but if the voices and power of opposition are strong enough, they can also be defeated.

The two sides quickly reached an agreement, and Ryan called the heads of various media affiliated with Disney, making every effort to create momentum for Charlize and others.

As the phone number was dialed out, not only Disney, but the network of relationships he woven over the years gradually started. For example, in the following two weeks, Charlize became the cover character of Time magazine for the first time, which quoted Roger Albert's original words, saying that her performance in "The Devil" was the greatest performance in film history.

Although the canvassing party could not be held, under Ryan's instruction, there were still people running secretly. His public relations team was all experienced veterans and would never touch the sensitive bottom line of the academy.

As for the actors and actresses in their previous lives, Ryan doesn't care. Who made them not his friends?

Besides, if Harry Berry wins Best Actress and waits for the third episode of "X-Men", her pay will probably increase to astronomical numbers.

If such a group show requires the Oscar-winning actress, Qin Grey is more suitable than Storm Girl who plays soy sauce.

After instructing a special person to be responsible for handling public relations, Ryan temporarily put the Oscars aside, and there is still some time before the award ceremony. We must maintain sufficient publicity efforts.

For judges like him who are accustomed to voting with their feet, high-profile comments from the media are the best way to influence them.

This is not true. He often votes by looking at close and alienating relationships first, and then recalling his impressions in his previous life. As for movies and characters, they will hardly be the basis for reference.

After becoming Disney's creative director, Ryan has the right to directly interfere in all film affairs.

After the merger and acquisition is completed, typical teen idol films like "The Princess Diary" have been transferred from Jenkins Pictures to Disney Pictures. As Disney's most important department, in addition to preparing for "Pirates of the Caribbean", they will also prepare for "Very Little Spy".

The latter's person in charge turned his attention to the little guys such as Taylor and Kristen Stewart, but Taylor had no interest in the movie starring non-Ryan and refused without thinking.

Of course, Disney is a good player in operating this type of movie, and finding the right actor is no problem.

There is also the animation part of Disney. Although Ed Camel and John Lasset have the power to control all Disney animation companies, Disney Animation Studios and Pixar Studios are still clearly separated.

Ryan didn't want Pixar to become another Disney animation, and the works produced were all song and dance films and sweet types.

This type of product is enough for Disney Animation Studios. In order to drive the development of Disney animation, Pixar's 200 former Disney employees returned to Disney and became one of the backbone forces of Disney computer animation.

But Disney animation is too far from its former glory. It is impossible to revive it without years of hard work.

Next is the "Harry Potter" series. After obtaining full authorization, Disney's performance exploded last month. It has reached an agreement with Ryan. Starting from the second part, it will fully intervene in the production, distribution and later peripheral product sales.

Afterwards, Ryan came to Disney's Disney Pictures Company to participate in the preparatory meeting for his first major production "Pirates of the Caribbean" after he took over Disney.

Today, Disney Pictures has also undergone personnel changes. Julius Stewart has become the head of the famous film company, and Jenkins Pictures has completely handed over to Mario Casa and Melanie Sloan.

Of course, this film company is completely different from Jenkins Pictures, mainly producing G-level or PG-level films.

"Pirates of the Caribbean" has launched the original cast and signed three contracts. Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley naturally needless to say, and after receiving Ryan's invitation, he agreed immediately.

Johnny Depp did not think about it for too long, and the analysis of Captain Jack Sparrow in the script deeply attracted him.

Besides, this guy is older and has not developed very well in recent years. He is eager to get rid of his current state of red but not purple.

"Jerry, what are some of them."

In the conference room, after a meeting was unified, Ryan stood up and reminded Jerry Brookheimer, who was the executive producer, "Try to create a real Black Pearl and recruit some actors with more distinctive appearances to play pirates. I believe this effect will be better..."

Hearing that he said, everyone sitting around the conference table laughed.

"Dep, you'd better put some gold teeth in it." Walking to the future Captain Sparrow, Ryan patted his shoulder, "and learn how to walk the cat step."

Johnny Depp shrugged with a smile.

The first three of the films will be filmed at one time, and Ryan has issued a production budget of more than $400 million in total. After the advance funds arrive, director Gore Wibinsky and producer Jerry Brookheimer have found a suitable shooting location for the film.

The location is Rosario in Baja California Asia, which is the filming location of "Titanic".

After the filming of "Titanic", Ryan had to sell the model ship as scrap, but the artificial lake and studio were left behind, becoming the preferred shooting location for many sea films. The rental costs brought by these were also quite considerable income.

After several years of development, Rosario has also become one of the important shooting bases in Hollywood.

"A reminder to you."

At the end of the preparations, Ryan stood at the front of the conference table and said seriously, "Prepare enough seasickness medicine."

He pointed to himself, "I have had a personal experience."

Because she was only sixteen years old, Kayla Knightley's mother accompanied her to the preparatory meeting. When the others were about to leave, she came to Ryan.

"Thank you, Ryan." She held Ryan's hand and said quite sincerely, "Thank you for giving Kaira this opportunity."

"You're welcome, Ms. Shaman."

The other party was busy in the filming of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone", and Ryan waved his hand casually, "It's time to help each other."

"Ryan, is Taylor not in Los Angeles?"

Hearing Kayla Knightley's question, Ryan shook hands and greeted her, and said, "Emma Watson is here, they are going out to sea together, I guess they will be back in the next few days."

"I'll visit her again when she comes back." Building relationships is the most common method in Hollywood, and few people who can become famous are fools.
