Chapter 283 Civilian Heroes
The lights were on, and the applause like a tide completely submerged the entire theater. Industry insiders who were sitting in the front row walked to the first row where the crew sat and sent their congratulations, especially the tall and beautiful woman, who presented a performance that broke through the image.
"Congratulations, Nicole, your characterization is simply amazing."
“Very wonderful performance, Miss Kidman.”
"This character is still beating vividly in my head. I think she will create miracles..."
Similar to such congratulations, although some of them were politeness due to mercy, they could always reflect the actual situation. Nicole, like other members of the crew, shook hands with these people one by one and kept saying "Thank you".
Ryan stood quietly outside the crowd, watching all this. Now was the moment that belonged to Nicole, and there was no need to go over and get involved.
"Are you sure?" Antonia Kidman asked in a daze.
"One percent is absolutely impossible, 60% of them are always there." Ryan smiled and shook his head. Even if all the work is in place, luck is an indispensable factor. "Anne, are you interested in attending the press conference?"
"This is not my movie, I'm not interested."
"Go over and say hello to Nicole, and we'll go back to the car."
After the crowd dispersed, Ryan walked to Nicole and muttered a few words. Then Antonia came over, took his arm, and walked out of the theater together.
As for the press conference after the premiere, Nicole, Steven Soderbergh and Erin Brockwich were there, which attracted the attention of the media and caused considerable topics.
Ryan and Antonia sat in the RV in a relative manner, talked about a few irrelevant topics, and soon fell into silence. Especially Ryan, when he thought of this movie, he began to get distracted or random thoughts again.
There is no doubt that Nicole has dedicated the most exciting performance since her debut in "Irene Brockevich". At least in his eyes, it is better than the big-mouthed Zhu in his previous life. Even though Big-mouthed Zhu is not an actor who is good at acting, Nicole's acting skills are definitely worthy of the little golden man.
Apart from those external factors, this year is the best opportunity. Whether in terms of acting or qualifications, the most competitive actress has been eliminated in advance by herself. Even if James Brooks is very fast, it is impossible for "The Best of the Best" to be released before the New Year.
He can only say sorry for Helen Hunter, well...and Big Mouth Zhu.
Thinking of Julia Roberts, Ryan shook his head slightly. This was another person who had influenced his future, but not the one who had the deepest influence.
In his opinion, even Nicole Kidman was not even as good as another person, and was more changed by the butterfly effect he brought.
That person is the legendary business godfather - Steve Jobs.
Now 1997 is about to end. Steve Jobs, who should have returned to Apple, is still trying to mess with his NeXT computer. After getting the $50 million sold for Pixar, he revitalized the computer company. Although the scale can only be considered average, it is very exciting.
After Pixar's successful listing, it did not bring any benefits to Steve Jobs. Instead, it allowed people to see his decision-making mistakes, and the behavior of selling potential stocks in this way will only make people look down on him and think that he has treasures without knowing it.
Without Pixar as a springboard and the billion dollar net worth it, Apple's management will certainly not be foolish to invite him back, so Apple and Steve Jobs are still parallel now, and there is no trend of intersection in the short term.
What surprised Ryan the most was that even if Steve Jobs was missing, Apple still carried out drastic reforms in 1996 and launched iMAC this year, which is Apple's all-in-one computer.
Just like in previous lives, this product was very popular in the market, which enabled Apple to successfully overcome the fiscal crisis and its stock price to soar.
All of this made Ryan deeply understand one thing: anyone missing in this world will work as usual. Without Steve Jobs, Apple still embarked on the road of its previous life, and he also asked Scott to step up his appetite for Apple stocks.
After waiting for an hour, Nicole returned to the car. The tired look on her face was enough to prove the madness of the reporters at the press conference. When she appeared, she naturally had the siege of reporters and paparazzi.
…………
Another crazy night passed, Ryan opened his eyes and looked at Nicole curled up in his arms. The Australian girl's eyebrows were raised high, and a satisfied smile was still hanging on the corner of her mouth, as if she was still missing the sweetness of last night in her sleep.
Today is the weekend, so there is no need to rush to Nanka University for class. I gently printed a note on Nicole's forehead. Ryan got up and dressed, and then came to the living room after simply washing.
As before, Lisa would always prepare related newspapers and magazines on the second day of the premiere. Ryan took a thick stack, waved her hand, and returned to the bedroom on the second floor.
"Dear, where have you been?"
When he came back, Nicole was awake and leaning against the head of the bed, looking at the door in a daze.
"Go and get something you are interested in." Ryan shook the newspaper in her hand and sat beside the bed.
"Can you read it to me?" Nicole turned over, too lazy to wear clothes, and just leaned on Ryan's lap.
"Of course." Ryan smoothed out her strands of scattered blonde hair and warned, "The premise is to be honest and not naughty."
"God, do you think I'm crazy?" Nicole's hand got into the quilt, frowned and rubbed something, "I was exhausted last night!"
As he said that, he turned his head and glared at the culprit.
With Ryan's cheeky skin, he naturally pretended not to see it. He opened a newspaper casually, put it in Nicole's ear, and began to chant softly.
"This is an era of lack of heroes. The story of Erin Brockevich is touching, wonderful and rebellious. She has no higher education and is a loser in her life. However, with her humanity and tenacity, she helped 634 plaintiffs to defeat the behemoth of Pacific Gas and Electric Power Company and won the highest compensation in the history of direct litigation cases - $333 million! It can be said that Erin Brockevich is the civilian hero of this era..."
Ryan stopped and browsed it quickly. Most of the comments in this newspaper were about movies, so he simply threw them aside and changed them.
"Irene Brockevich, played by Miss Nicole Kidman, is a very hot girl. She is not only hot in shape, but also speaks directly and rudely, and has caused a lot of trouble for this. She is a bit coquettish, a bit stingy, a bit vulgar, and a bit cheeky, but she is persistent enough, tenacious enough, and kind enough, which is the most impressive female character on the big screen this year."
Listening to the comments in the newspaper, Nicole changed into a comfortable position, buried her entire face in Ryan's lower abdomen, muttering, "Continue, Ryan."
"Okay." Ryan changed to the Los Angeles Times and quickly turned to the entertainment version. "Nicole Kidman's performance far exceeded our expectations. Those who have watched "Eileen Brockevich" will never forget Nicole Kidman's sincere blue eyes. Her eyes are sometimes pitiful and sometimes persevering. They can always reach the depths of their souls, making people unable to help but follow her footsteps, regain confidence, and discover self-worth. This is definitely the most successful and classic character she has created since she started filming."
He gently pinched Nicole's ear, and Ryan threw her hand aside and opened the Washington Post.
"The gaudy dress, the rude words, the temperament of the little people at the bottom, and the movie Erin Brockwich is hard to associate with the image of Nicole Kidman in reality. Her outstanding performance will make you forget that you are watching the performance."
"Nicole Kidman in the movie looks charming and very attractive. She almost managed to support the entire drama with her own strength. This is a movie that belongs entirely to Nicole Kidman. Except for Albert Fanny, who plays the lawyer, the other characters are not worth mentioning in front of her performance."
"Inspirational, justice, pleasure, a big movie that has brought out the best female character this year. She is straightforward, hardworking, caring and full of personality. Although she often swears in her beautiful mouth, she is an angel who strives for justice. Nicole Kidman perfectly combines her charm with the uncompromising spirit of Erin Brockevich in reality, presenting an admirable civilian hero..."
"It's obvious that in such a time period, Jenkins Films will definitely target Oscars. After watching the movie, you will actually find that Nicole Kidman's performance is worth a little golden man. In terms of qualifications and acting skills, this Australian actress who has long been a member of the American nationality is no worse than anyone."
In just over half an hour, Ryan searched through major newspapers. These media may have mixed opinions about the movie, but they highly praised Nicole's performance in it. Most people recognized her as the most outstanding performance since she was a filmmaker.
Anyway, with the full release of "Irene Brockevich", the final public relations and publicity war has begun.
"It's getting late, Nicole. It's time to go for breakfast." Ryan looked at the time and hugged the Australian girl who was in her arms. "Do you need me to carry you into the bathroom?"
"No!" Nicole suddenly opened her eyes wide, and God knew how long it would take for the two to come out after they went in together.
"Hurry up, don't let Annie wait for a long time." Ryan finally reminded him.
"Um……"
