Rebirth In Hollywood

Helicopters hovered over Hollywood, the streets were cordoned off, and the Kodak Theater, where the Oscars were held, was guarded to the best of its ability in terms of technology and manpower. To keep things in order, there are surveillance cameras, metal detectors, and a police officer at every corner, and even moviegoers who sit in the bleachers watching the stars on the Walk of Fame enter the venue will be closely watched.

This year's Oscars live broadcast also caused some controversy, because of the scene that Justin Ding Blake and Jennifer Jackson did during the halftime performance of Super Bowl XXXVIII, the organizers had to take five seconds for the live broadcast. to ensure that no vulgar content is broadcast live.

Another is that the awards ceremony was chosen at the end of February, nearly a month earlier than usual.

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

As soon as he walked into the Kodak Theater, Ryan saw Scarlett Johansson and Kristen Stewart waiting here, and when the little fat girl finished, the tomboy shook his fist lightly, using something that only they could hear. The voice said, "If we see that bastard, we must knock his nose out of the way!"

"My dears, the law will make a fair ruling." Ryan said nonsense that he didn't even believe in himself, and walked towards the main hall with the two girls, "As long as you support your spirit, it's enough, and you can forget about your actions. ."

The two girls laughed. After learning about the incident, they were really angry, but they knew that they couldn't help much, and they believed that Ryan could easily solve it. They had known each other for more than ten years, and he never asked him People have been disappointed.

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

"It's a pity that Alison can't walk the red carpet with us." Scarlett Johansson, 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 Kristin"

Enter the front door of the main hall. Ryan saw the arms of the two girls holding each other, and joked, "You have to pay attention to the impact."

"Come on, Ryan."

Kristen Stewart wrinkled her nose like Taylor did, and Scarlett Johansson said tacitly, "Massachusetts has passed the gay marriage law, and your thinking is too conservative."

"Whatever you want."

Entering the main hall, Ryan followed the two girls to the seat where the "Lost in Translation" crew was seated, and saw Sofia Coppola, who was smiling brightly.

Not only did Lost in Translation earn a Best Original Editing nomination, it also made her the third female director and the first American female director to be nominated for an Academy Award for Best Director.

"Hi. Sophia, you're so pretty tonight."

"Thank you, Ryan."

Sofia Coppola stood up and gave Ryan a hard hug, the thanks apparently sincere, "Thank you for the advice, thank you for the investment."

"You deserve it, don't you?" Ryan patted her on the back, just as he was about to open the distance between the two. Sofia Coppola suddenly said, "That's how you won their hearts?"

The voice was so low that Sofia Coppola winked at him.

"Okay, I should go back to the crew." Ryan did not respond to Sofia Coppola's ridicule. Shake hands with Francisco Coppola again and walked to the "The Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King" crew.

Maybe the media doesn't talk about those laces anymore, but Ryan knows it, in the eyes of those who know him well. His relationship with the Nicole trio is no secret at all.

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

"Sophia. You'd better just be friends." Francisco Coppola, who was sitting beside her, said suddenly and earnestly, "I don't want my daughter to become someone else's mistress."

"I know what to choose, Dad."

The other party is indeed very exciting, if it weren't for those three women... Sofia Coppola shook her head and said firmly, "Your daughter is very clear-headed."

Crossing the main aisle, Ryan walked to his seat while shaking hands with the person who took the initiative to reach out. The "Lord of the Rings" crew was the largest crew tonight, not only won eleven nominations. The crew was all there, and even the Fellowship of the Ring team was assembled again, and with Naomi Watts in another crew, almost all the main actors arrived.

However, without the most beautiful vase princess, Charlize Theron went to Europe.

She seems to have made up her mind to start her own fashion career. During this period of time, Charlize has maintained close ties with the fashion industry. This time she went to Europe to meet with several favorite designers, hoping that they could join her soon. Created fashion brand.

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

"I think we aside from technical awards..."

Elijah Wood in the back leaned a little closer, shrugged and said, "It's likely to return empty-handed?"

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

"Oscar History."

Ian McLean, who was almost labelled Gandalf and Magneto, also said, "No director has ever won the best director for a non-realistic theme..."

He patted Jackson's arm. "Peter, God bless you."

"And the best picture." Peter Jackson looked at Ryan sympathetically, "I heard that Disney has done a lot of public relations, but will fantasy movies really be favored by the judges?"

"If it's our original theme, definitely not." Ryan spread his hands and explained mysteriously, "But don't forget, this is "The Lord of the Rings" which has an important position in the history of literature, and Oscar Always loved British literature, and most importantly, Tolkien has passed away."

A few people around blinked or nodded slightly, only Peter Jackson squeezed his chin and said, "According to you, the Harry Potter series has an unparalleled influence in children's literature. , when this series ends, will the Academy..."

"Absolutely not!" Ryan shook his head gently.

"Why?" Elijah Wood asked curiously.

"Because I'm not dead yet." Ryan looked at the guys around him who were holding back their laughter, and said as a matter of course, "If I'm dead like Tolkien, the last episode of "Harry Potter" It might really be a miracle at the Oscars."

The people around couldn't help it any longer, and laughed at the same time.

However, after laughing, I felt that Ryan's words made some sense in the style of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

As the time for the award ceremony approached, the crew gradually quieted down. Ryan could see that Peter Jackson, who was sitting next to him, was very excited, and there was a trace of nervousness in his excitement.

From a commercial point of view, after the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, New Zealand's big fat man has completely entered the ranks of first-line directors, but if he really wants to become one of the best directors on this planet, he is still short of the recognition of an Oscar statuette.

Otherwise, no matter how good the business is, it is just another Michael Bay.

According to the predictions of the media and professional institutions in advance, Peter Jackson is the biggest favorite for the best director. Most people in the industry believe that the Oscar will give the series the biggest honor at the end of the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy.

"What a pity, Peter."

The two chatted for a while, and the topic turned to their recent work. Ryan said regretfully, "You signed a contract with Universal Pictures, and I'm still waiting for you to direct "The Silmarillion."

"You know, Ryan." Peter Jackson made an apologetic gesture. "In addition to being a Lord of the Rings fan, I'm also a crazy King Kong fan. Remaking "King Kong" is one of my biggest wishes."

Nodding his head, Ryan said no more. Universal Pictures had an advance budget of more than $200 million for the film, which is a huge attraction for any director.

The movie from the previous life, although it is not too successful, can not be said to be a failure.

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

Of course, the first actress to be determined in this world is the heroine, and Naomi Watts still gets the role.

The music on the stage sounded, Ryan temporarily threw away the thoughts in his mind, and with the others clapping their palms together, the seventy-sixth Academy Awards ceremony kicked off.

Perhaps last year's ratings were terrible, but this year's awards ceremony has some retro flavor from the 1990s.

Billy Crystal was once again edited into the nominated films, sailing with Russell Crowe in Battle of the Furious, fighting swordsmanship and catwalking with Johnny Depp, cutting On the picture of Ryan's head, he held the holy sword of Nasir, turned into Legolas and killed the mammoth, and even appeared naked...

The comedian really fought for the ratings.

"It's time." Arwen encouraged him.

"Take out all the honors you hold dear and go back to the Oscar stage..." shouted Aragorn, who was wielding his sword on a prancing horse.

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

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

"It's your turn to appear." Jack Nicholson, who was holding a cane, took off his iconic sunglasses and handed them to Billy Crystal. "Go and win the applause, Billy!"

"Let me make them look good!" Billy Crystal closed his eyes and walked into the Kodak Theater. (To be continued..) ()
