Helicopters hovered over Hollywood, cordons were set up on the streets, and the security work of the Kodak Theater, where the Oscars were held, was done to the best of its technology and manpower... In order to ensure order, there are surveillance cameras, metal detectors in every corner, and a police officer. Even movie fans who sit in the open-air stands watching the stars on the Avenue of Stars will be closely watched.

The live broadcast of this year's Oscar also caused some controversy. Due to the scene created by Justin Dingblake and Jenny Fer Jackson during the 38th Super Bowl halftime performance, the organizers had to delay the live program for five seconds to ensure that there was no vulgar content live.

The other is that the award ceremony was chosen at the end of February, which was nearly one month ahead of the customs.

"Ryan, do you need us to issue a public statement to support you?"

As soon as he walked into the Kodak Theater, Ryan saw Scarlett, Johnson and Kristen Stewart waiting here. After the fat girl finished speaking, the tomboy gently waved his fists and said in a voice that only they could hear, "If we see that bastard, we will definitely hit his nose in a crooked way!"

"Dear, the law will make a fair decision." Ryan said a lie that he didn't even believe in himself, and walked towards the main hall with the two girls. "You only need to support yourself mentally, but forget it in action."

The two girls laughed. After learning about this incident, they were indeed very angry, but they knew that they could not help much, and believed that Ryan could easily solve it. They had known each other for more than ten years and he had never disappointed.

He has always been their support and protective umbrella, and they have incomparable confidence in him.

"It's a pity that Alison can't walk the red carpet with us." Scarlett Johnson, wearing a dark green suspender evening dress, took the initiative to hold Kristen Stewart, "She can only watch the live broadcast at home."

"Hey, Scarlett, and Christine"

When he entered the main hall, Ryan saw the two girls holding their arms together and joked, "You should pay attention to the influence."

"Come on, Ryan."

Christine Stewart wrinkled his nose like Taylor, while Scarlett Johnson said tacitly, "Massachusetts has passed the gay marriage law, your thoughts are too conservative."

"It's okay for you."

Walking into the main hall, Ryan followed the two girls to the seat where the crew of "Lost Tokyo" was located, and saw Sophia Coppola who was smiling particularly brightly.

"Lost Tokyo" not only won the No. 1 nomination for Best Original Editor, but also made her the third female director and the first American female director to be nominated for Best Director at the Oscar.

"Hi Sofia, you're so beautiful tonight."

"Thank you, Ryan."

Sofia Coppola stood up and hugged Ryan hard. The thanks were obviously sincere, "Thank you for your advice, thank you for your investment."

"This is what you deserve, isn't it?" Ryan gently patted her back, and just as he was about to distance himself from the two sides. Sofia Coppola suddenly said, "You have won their hearts in this way?"

These words were extremely low, and Sofia Coppola also blinked at him.

"Okay, it's time for me to go back to the crew." Ryan did not respond to Sofia Coppola's joke. He shook hands with Francisco Coppola and walked to the crew of "The Lord of the Rings 3: Return of the King".

Perhaps the media no longer mentions those gossips, but Ryan knows that in the eyes of those who are familiar with him, his relationship with Nicole and the other two is no secret at all.

Looking at the tall back that was leaving, Sofia Coppola sighed and sat back in her seat.

"Sophia. You're the best friends." Francisco Coppola, who was sitting next to her, suddenly said seriously, "I don't want my daughter to become someone else's mistress."

"I know how to choose, dad."

The other party was really heart-warming. If it weren't for those three women... Sofia Coppola shook her head and said firmly, "Your daughter is very clear-headed."

After passing through the main aisle, Ryan shook hands with the person who came over and walked to his seat. The Lord of the Rings crew is the largest crew tonight. Not only did all the people who received eleven nominations arrive, but even the Ring Protection Team gathered again. In addition, Naomi Watts, who was in another crew, almost all the main actors arrived.

However, the most beautiful princess in the vase was missing, and Charlize Theron went to Europe.

She seemed to have made up her mind to start her own fashion career. Charlize has maintained close ties with the fashion industry for a while. This time she went to Europe and met with several designers she liked, hoping that they could join the fashion brand she was about to start.

"Guys..." Ryan sat down and looked at Peter Jackson beside him, and said to the people around him, "Are you ready to bring back the eleven little golden men?"

“I think we are in addition to technical awards…”

Elija Wood, who was behind, leaned closer, shrugged his shoulders and said, "It is very likely that he will return empty-handed?"

"Ilia." Orlando Bloom on the other side took over, "You mean Peter can't get the best director?"

“In the history of Oscars.”

Ian McLean, who was almost labeled Gandalf and Magneto, also spoke, "No director has ever been able to win the best director with non-realistic subjects..."

He patted Jackson on the arm, "Peter, may God bless you."

"There is also the best film." Peter Jackson looked at Ryan sympathetically, "I heard that Disney has done a lot of public relations, but will magical movies really be favored by the judges?"

"If it was our original subject, it would definitely not." Ryan spread his hands and made a mysterious explanation. "But don't forget that this is the Lord of the Rings, which has an important position in the history of literature. Oscar has always liked British literary subjects, and the most important point is that Tolkien has passed away."

Several people around were blinking or nodding slightly, only Peter Jackson pinched his chin and said, "According to your words, the Harry Potter series has an incredible influence in children's literature. Will the college be at the end of this series..."

"Absolutely not!" Ryan shook his head gently.

"Why?" asked Elija Wood curiously.

"Because I'm not dead yet." Ryan looked at the guys around him who were holding back their laughter and said for granted. "If I were dead like Tolkien, the last Harry Potter movie might really create a miracle at the Oscars."

The people around him could no longer help but laughed at the same time.

However, after laughing, I felt that Ryan’s statement made some sense in terms of the style of the School of Film Arts and Sciences.

As the award ceremony approached, the crew gradually became quiet. Ryan could see that Peter Jackson was sitting next to him, and there was a hint of nervousness in his excitement.

From a commercial perspective, after the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, the fat New Zealand man completely entered the ranks of first-line directors, but he really wanted to become one of the best directors on this planet, and he was still missing the recognition of the Oscar Little Golden Man.

Otherwise, no matter how outstanding the business is, it will be another Michael Bay.

Among the predictions of the media and professional institutions in advance, Peter Jackson is the biggest hit for the Best Director. Most industry insiders believe that the Oscar will give this series the greatest honor at the end of the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy.

"What a pity, Peter."

After chatting for a few words, the topic turned to the recent work. Ryan said with a pity, "You have signed a contract with Universal Pictures, and I'm still waiting for you to direct "Silver"."

"You know, Ryan." Peter Jackson made an apologetic gesture, "Besides being a Lord of the Rings fan, I am also a crazy King Kong fan. Remake "King Kong" is one of my biggest wishes."

Nodding, Ryan said nothing anymore, Universal Studios offered an upfront budget of more than $200 million for the film, which is a huge attraction for any director.

Although the movie in my previous life is not too successful, it cannot be said to be a failed work.

After experiencing "King Kong", Peter Jackson's idea of ​​crazy stacking of special effects will definitely change, which will be the most powerful for the future "Silks" series.

Of course, the first actor identified in this life is the heroine, and Naomi Watts still got this role.

As the music on the stage sounded, Ryan temporarily threw away the thoughts in his mind, and as others slapped their palms together, the 76th Academy Awards ceremony kicked off.

Perhaps the ratings of last year were terrible, and this year's awards ceremony was a bit retro in the 1990s.

Billy Cristo was edited into the nominated movies again. He and Russell Clowe sailed in "The Battle of the Sea of ​​Rage", competed with Johnny Depp for swordsmanship and cat steps, held up Nasir's Holy Sword in the picture where Ryan's avatar was cut, turned into Legolas and killed the mammoth elephant, and even appeared naked...

For the sake of ratings, the comedian really fought hard.

"It's time." Arwen encouraged him.

"Take out all the honors you cherish and return to the Oscar stage..." Aragorn shouted loudly, wielding his sword.

"You'd better continue this job, Lord Christo." Captain Barbosa, who turned into a skeleton, warned solemnly.

Finally, under the escort of Jack Nicholson in white clothes and robe, he passed through Saint White City and came to the Kodak Theater.

"It's your turn." Jack Nicholson, holding the cane, took off his signature sunglasses and handed them to Billy Christo, "Go and win the applause, Billy!"
Chapter completed!
