Chapter 436
The nominee luncheon has begun. Although various delicious meals are placed on the dining table, few people have the appetite to eat, and everyone's attention is focused on the small stage at the front of the banquet hall.
Actress Kate Hudson, who hosts the nominee luncheon, is announcing the nomination list one by one.
This is just a nomination, not a formal award presentation. The list is read out by Kate Hudson and then displayed on the big screen behind her.
“The ones who nominated for the best animated short film are…”
Finally, a nomination list was announced for Ronan: "Cathedral, Thomas Bakinsky; "Big Eyed New Car", Peter Dougette; "Toushan", Koji Yamamura; "Peppa Pig", Chris Reinard; "Roulboard", Chris Setna."
Hearing this list, Chris Renard clenched his fists hard, and the animation team's work for most of the year was not in vain.
He looked at the location where Ronan was, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. With such a boss who supports the animation team, there is no reason why the animation team will not succeed!
And they also want to prove with success that those who swept them out are wrong!
Now it’s Peppa Pig, next it’s “Minius”, and then it’s the first animated feature film!
Chris Renard has seen the story outline and main character settings written by Ronan himself. The anti-hero and anti-traditional "Despicable Me" may really make the animation team regain glory.
Ronan expected that he won the best animated short film nomination. Next, it was time to consider how to get the best animated short film.
If you want to bring the little golden man home in a month, it is necessary to make appropriate investment.
The Oscar PR of "Hero" can stop, so that the publicity PR team's energy can be focused on "Peppa Pig"'s best animated short film.
Kate Hudson announced several nominations for technical awards and then announced the list of nominations for the best foreign language films.
Director Zhang was a little nervous and hadn't had this kind of expectation for a long time. Perhaps other awards had lost enough appeal to him.
This time I got nominated, I can get the best foreign language film Little Golden Man and become familiar with the Oscars.
Next time, maybe you can hit the best director.
The future of Best Picture is not impossible.
Director Zhang glanced at Ronan. This big Hollywood boss is a good person, paying attention to commitment, value credibility, and doing what he says, and can continue to cooperate for a long time.
"The Hotel in Paradise, Paula Van der Oster; "The Man Without Past", Aki Korismaki; "Hero", Yi Mou; "Love in Africa", Caroline Link; "City of God"..."
Director Zhang breathed a sigh of relief in an instant, and the crew congratulated him one after another. He was in a good mood. Although he did not win the award, he would return with great reputation when he returned in a few days.
Even if you don’t have time, you have to take time to go back before the award ceremony. This is your hometown of glory!
You must never wait for the Oscars. After all, no one can guarantee the winning of the award. Once you don’t win the award, the effect will be much worse when you go back.
After working hard in the Eastern film industry for many years, Director Zhang's accurate grasp of certain things is something that people have to admire.
"Congratulations." Tom Cruise said to Ronan: "Is the second best foreign language film nominated?"
Will Smith answered: "You're going to treat you tonight."
Ronan said first: "Thank you." Then he responded to Will Smith: "After the luncheon, I asked someone to fly the beef from the island country, and the latest king crabs caught..."
Will Smith said: "Okay, I will definitely go!"
This is a celebration banquet, and Ronan has to invite many people to attend the meeting.
The nominations were announced one by one, and soon the nominations for the four most important awards were nominated.
"The best actress nominations are Nicole Kidman, "Everything"; Renee Zellweger, "Chicago", Julianne Moore, "Far from Heaven", Salma Hayek, "Frida", Diane Liann, "Infaithfulness."
As expected, Nicole Kidman was nominated for Best Actress again.
Tom Cruise turned to look at Nicole Kidman, who also looked at him, then turned around and hugged Harvey Weinstein with a strong hug.
Ronan saw it, but said nothing. Even if Tom Cruise was unhappy, he was just his ex-wife.
If Harvey Weinstein wants to help win the Oscar for Best Actress, it is inevitable to give something.
If you gain something, you may lose something. Similar transactions have never been unspoken rules in Hollywood and have always been in the clear place.
Having said that, Harvey Weinstein's appetite is really good. From young and beautiful to old, he can take everything, even Judy Denge and Meryl Streep can keep his mouth shut...
Ronan admits that Weinstein is too much inferior to this. Maybe Will Smith can compete with him?
But Will Smith is much more particular than Harvey Weinstein. At most, the couple will play their own games without doing anything forcing others.
The list of nominations for Best Actress is followed by the list of Nominations for Best Actor.
"Adrian Brody, "The Pianist", Jack Nicholson, "About Schmidt", Nicholas Cage, "Adapted Screenplay", Daniel Day Lewis, "The New York Gangster", Michael Kane, "The Quiet American."
There is no Tom Cruise on the list!
Tom Cruise did not receive the Oscar for Best Actor!
The nomination list was announced, and although Tom Cruise maintained a polite smile, Ronan and Will Smith, who knew him, could see that Tom Gottie was very popular.
Ronan sighed lightly in his heart. From today on, the team behind Tom Cruise will inevitably undergo huge changes.
Will Smith pretended to be relaxed: "Tom, it's no big deal, it's better than being disappointed at the awards ceremony. You have time and opportunity, and this time it doesn't work, and there's another time."
Ronan said: "It's just a comeback."
Tom Cruise nodded: "Don't worry, I'm fine. I've been with you for so many years. I've gotten used to it."
Ronan then realized that Tom Cruise had won many Oscar nominations, and he also had a professional 20-year run.
As the nomination list ended, the luncheon officially entered the dining stage, and many people began to chat with tables. Ronan specifically greeted Chris Renard and the people from the "Hero" crew, inviting them to go to Future World Manor after the luncheon, and there was a celebration party in the evening.
In addition to these people, Ronan also sent invitations to others, such as Nicholas Cage.
"Sophia talked to me about you," Nicholas Cage said to Ronan: "She said you are a very amazing person, have a lot of ideas about the movie, and are a trustworthy partner."
Ronan replied with a smile: "I just did what a producer should do." He immediately said: "Nicolah, I hope we can have the opportunity to cooperate."
Since "The Whisperer", Nicholas Cage's career has gone downhill. Of course, he would not underestimate the show of a famous producer, and quickly said: "This is my honor."
Saying goodbye to Nicholas Cage, Ronan chatted with Martin Scorsese for a few more words. Old Martin had heard of him and was more polite to each other.
Ronan asked briefly, Martin Scorsese will work with Leonardo DiCaprio on "The Aviator".
It is not the time to mention "The Walker of the Skies".
After Martin Scorsese declined the party invitation, Ronan returned to his table and found that there was one more person here, a beautiful white woman who could shine.
Nicole Kidman is here.
The woman's face was full of smiles, and she was as proud as if she was an Australian koala.
Maybe it was time to say what was time to say, Nicole Kidman nodded at Ronan with a smile and then left here.
Tom Cruise also smiled politely.
Ronan asked, "What's wrong?"
Tom Cruise didn't answer, and Will Smith said: "What else can you do? Just come and show off, just a nomination."
"It's not just a nomination," Tom Cruise whispered: "She might really win the award."
Ronan shook his head: "Women, you can't help but tilt your tail." He said directly: "Winning the Oscar for Best Actress may not be a good thing for Nicole."
"How do you say this?" asked Tom Cruise.
Ronan said directly: "Before filming "Spy Shadows", Caa recommended Nicole to me, and I asked someone to conduct targeted market research and then declined."
"The pay is too high?" Will Smith asked.
Ronan said: "This is only one reason. The most important thing is that through front-line survey data, I found that American movie fans don't like Nicole at all."
Tom Cruise frowned: "No, right? The movies she starred in in the past two years have been good..."
Ronan sighed and said, "Do you know? There is a kind of audience paying for it called sympathy."
Will Smith and Tom Cruise are both smart people and immediately understand the meaning of Ronan dialect.
"So, she deliberately pretended to be pitiful?" Tom Cruise was one of the parties involved: "Take all the mistakes on my head, and I won't speak out if I'm sure I'm not going to speak? Then gain sympathy from the public and the media?"
Ronan did not answer positively, but said: "Once she won the Oscar for Best Actress, everything before will be zeroed with the huge benefits brought by the Little Golden Man."
Once he becomes the absolute heroine and truly carries a commercial film, Nicole Kidman is a veritable box office poison.
Will Smith said: "Ronan has always had a good vision, and I think that makes sense."
Tom Cruise didn't say anything, thinking that Nicole Kidman used him to gain hype and sympathy in the divorce case, and the remaining affection disappeared.
Chapter completed!
