Chapter five hundred and seventy-four is to make money after all
No matter how flashy and nihilistic the party is, the participants always have a certain kind of upright spirit on their faces, and those grand or subtle emotions, they can always control them just right. Everyone is dressed properly, hoping that people can feel their temptation. If they have the heart, they can even see the imprints of war and politics, the colors of pop culture and fashion in them...
This is the Vanity Fair party on Oscar Night. In the mouth of the outside world, it is synonymous with luxury, like a mirror, containing everything about Hollywood.
Whether it is anti-war people or supporters of the war, they will also appear at this party after sitting in the same theater. As for the life and death of Iraqi civilians in the war, how many people on both sides will really care about it?
Compared to Iraq, they would rather congratulate them on their best actress tonight and have a good relationship with Ryan Jenkins who is standing beside her. In this way, their development in Hollywood will definitely be smoother.
Even if you miss the award, you can still star in those high-reward commercial movies. A small supporting role in "Captain America" made Ryan Gosling, who was previously unknown, become a popular star, and her salary rose sharply to eight million US dollars; a "X-Men" series will Hugh Jackman win the throne of first-line stars, and Universal has offered a $18 million US dollar for his new film...
And that Orlando Bloom, apart from being a little handsome, what else is there? He became famous through "The Lord of the Rings" and is said to be filming another big production trilogy series.
Ryan seems to have endless resources in his hands, but unfortunately the people who become lucky are extremely limited, and they all want to be the next one.
But after staying at the party for more than ten minutes, Ryan could not remember how many strange faces he had shook hands with. If Nicole hadn't come here with great enthusiasm, he wouldn't have appeared here.
"Okay, my dear." Ryan pulled her arm and Nicole, who was talking to someone, turned around. "Is there anything wrong?"
"It's time for us to go back." He pointed to the watch on his hand.
"Oh, I almost forgot." Nicole quickly turned his head and said to the person opposite him, holding Ryan's arm and snatching the best actress Little Golden Man in his hand, "Okay, let's go home quickly, Alison is still waiting at home."
"She should complain again."
Entering the elevator, he went straight to the parking lot, and the driver and bodyguard were already waiting here. Ryan and the others got into the car and left the Hilton Hotel.
Half an hour later, I had just walked into the villa. Taylor, who was getting taller and taller, ran over and gave Nicole a big hug.
"Congratulations, Nicole." The little girl took the little golden man from Nicole's hand and pulled her into the living room. She still turned around and waved to Ryan, "This is Nicole's second best actress. Dear Ryan, when will you get your second best actor?"
"Let's go in a few years." Ryan walked into the living room and replied casually.
Strictly speaking, he won the Best Actress Award three times in a row. Even based on the balance between sharing the cake, it is difficult for the academy to consider him in a short period of time.
Unless there are characters like Forrest Gump that are both mainstream and can make the actors stand out.
Anyway, I have already taken it once. Ryan is no longer in a hurry, and it will be long in the future.
"Nicole, you didn't thank me."
While Nicole was sitting on the sofa, Taylor held her like a little girl asking for candy, "I helped you too. I once told George, Stephen, and James that if they didn't vote for you, I would shaved their beards."
"Dear, do you want the reporter to turn you out now?" Nicole pressed her back and said to Ryan, who had his coat hung up, "Dear, pour me a glass of water."
"Coffee or black tea?"
"Just clear water."
He brought three glasses of water and placed them on the coffee table in front of the sofa. Ryan picked up Nicole's Little Golden Man from Taylor, opened the glass display cabinet, and placed it in the center of a pile of trophys.
It contains various movie awards from Europe, Hollywood and Australia, and the most important one is naturally the two Oscar-best actress Little Golden Man.
"In a few more years..."
Taylor also walked over, looked at the big and small trophies in the display cabinet with his hands in his chest, and pouted, "I must collect more phonographs than these."
"Do I need to have a celebration party for you then?" Ryan rubbed her blonde curls tied into braids. "It's getting late, you should go and rest, my dear."
"Okay." The little girl nodded and turned around and said deliberately as she walked towards the stairs, "Don't worry, I won't disturb you."
Afterwards, Ryan and Nicole also returned to the second floor. They were busy all night and were indeed a little tired.
"You're leaving Los Angeles again?"
After Nicole came out of the shower, she found Ryan wearing pajamas and checking the itinerary, "How long will it take?"
"It's hard to say, it depends on the specific shooting situation." Ryan put down the document and clapped Nicole standing in front of the bed, "Come here, my dear."
The pair of light blue eyes couldn't help but flip up. Nicole walked around and walked to the other side of the bed, sat cross-legged on it, and then passed Ryan's itinerary and browsed roughly.
"We're going to go to so many places to film?" she frowned.
"This is the final chapter of George's Star Wars." Ryan draped the goose down on her. "He definitely wanted to make it better. A few days ago, George told me that he wanted to retire."
"This series made George successful and restricted George." Nicole returned the schedule, tilted his body, and lay in his arms. "He really wanted to retire?"
"It's just that intention." Ryan made a gesture you understand, "It will probably take at least five years to implement it."
Nicole moved a little and found a more comfortable position. "When I went to Disney a few days ago, I heard Robert say you are in contact with China and want to hold a premiere for "Return of the King" in China?"
"That's right." Ryan turned his head and kissed her on the cheek, "You know, Nicole, I had this idea when "Captain America" was released, but it didn't come true. Now "Return of the King" has passed their approval and can be released simultaneously. The North American market has gone through the first two movies, so there is no need to spend too much effort in publicity. I want to use this movie to further open up the Chinese market and let the audience over there see what is a real big production."
Sniffing Nicole's hair fragrance and pinching a wisp of blond hair between his fingers, he continued, "I want them to understand that a film like "Hero" is nothing in front of "Return of the King". It is best to make Chinese movie fans recognize the name Jenkins Film and Ryan Jenkins, which is best to form a huge brand effect."
The advantages of pioneers are huge. If you wait until the next few years, there will be no more advantages you have established before.
However, Nicole is the one who knows him best after all, pointing to the essence of the matter, "Dear, you don't need to explain so much. After all, it's just going there to make money."
"I've never denied this," Ryan said for granted. "I'll also talk to their government about Disney's amusement park projects."
Now is undoubtedly the best opportunity. When the relationship between the two sides of the Pacific becomes cold in a few years, it will definitely be more troublesome.
Ryan wants to do it very easily. At the most appropriate opportunity, he will fight for the best interests for himself.
This year, the world situation is unstable and China is not stable, and ** has also appeared.
Originally, Ryan considered canceling the premiere, but only through Disney's Far East branch, he realized that although the ** was raging for a while, the situation was far less serious than in his previous life. Especially after the World Health Organization took the lead in issuing a travel alert internationally, the opponent had to release information to the public early and take relevant measures to curb large-scale communication, which resulted in a much smaller impact than in his previous life.
In mid-March, the World Health Organization canceled the relevant alerts.
The Iraq War has started for several days, and the Oscars have been held as scheduled. No matter how fierce the coalition forces in front of us exchanged fire with Iraq, Hollywood is still singing and dancing, and the entertainment version will not be stingy, and it will still report on this grand event on a large scale.
There is not much space about Nicole, and there is not much controversy in her winning Best Actress.
And the biggest debate comes from the best director.
"Martin Scorsese is lost again! Martin Scorsese is completely lost!"
"Holding humiliation and heroes should decline..."
Such sympathetic remarks are flooded in the entertainment pages of major media, and some people who even sympathize with Old Martin claim that this is another teasing of Martin Scorsese by the Academy.
However, these have become a foregone conclusion, and one of the four major directors still needs to accumulate if they want to win the award.
After Ryan finished some work, he would go to Tunisia to meet with the crew and continue the filming of "The Revenge of the Sith".
What he is concerned about is the box office of several films released during the Christmas season last year.
After the early popularity of "Captain America" has obviously insufficient momentum. As early as February, it was down in North America, and it won a total of US$288.9 million in North America. In addition, the overseas regions that have been released, the total box office exceeded US$450 million. According to Marvel Comics' estimates, the final global box office will be around US$600 million.
The box office of this movie can only barely recover the cost, but it has driven large sales around it. In the past few months, comics about Captain America, Black Widow and Wolverine have sold millions of dollars in Europe and the United States.
The situation is similar. "Harby Potter and the Chamber of Secrets", which saw the box office of the film in North America drop a lot compared to the first one, earning about $280 million, but the majority of its revenue has always come from the surrounding areas.
A successful movie can often save a company in difficulty. "Monster Shrek" is undoubtedly a typical example. Behind its North American box office of more than $270 million are equally popular peripheral products.
In less than half a year, DreamWorks Animation Studio not only recovered its costs, but also achieved huge profits, and the production of the second part had already begun.
