"Hi Julie, long time no see."

Ryan hugged Julia Roberts warmly, feeling the warmth of his chest, and said, "Congratulations on joining the $20 million salary club."

"Ryan, I should be the one who should really say congratulations." Julia Roberts opened her arms, stared at Ryan and joked with a smile: "Congratulations on becoming one of the top ten directors in Hollywood."

Hollywood first called Francis Coppola, Martin Scorsese, George Lucas, and Steven Spielberg the four directors of the 1980s.

In the 1990s, "Titanic" directed by James Cameron ranked first in the global box office, and "Independence Day" directed by Roland Emmerich had a global box office of more than 800 million US dollars.

There are also "Terminator 3" directed by Ryan and "Inception" in theaters. Many Hollywood directors came from behind.

Recently, the Hollywood media screened a new list of Hollywood directors. There are only ten people in total, and Ryan's name is among them.

"It's just a boring list." Ryan shrugged and invited Julia Roberts to the lounge to sit down.

As for the top ten Hollywood directors!

No Hollywood film company would take it seriously, there are many objective factors in it, and even the rankings are only based on the personal preferences of the media, who knows what data they rely on.

Besides, George Lucas on the list will hardly accept any invitation from any film company or crew except for the Star Wars series, and Steven Spielberg will only shoot films produced by DreamWorks.

Ryan will also not accept invitations from other film companies' crews, and James Cameron's behavior has caused a lot of headaches for Hollywood film companies.

Therefore, the ranking of Hollywood directors in this list is almost useless.

Calling the crew assistant to bring over two cups of coffee, Ryan looked at Julia Roberts who was sitting opposite, and said, "Thank you for the matter on "Notting Hill."

"It's a great film, and its overseas box office performance won't be much worse than that in North America."

In his previous life, he had seen not many films starring Julia Roberts, and the one that impressed him the most was "Notting Hill". Julia Roberts conquered countless audiences with her acting skills and personal charm.

Julia Roberts picked up the coffee elegantly, took a sip of it, and said, "The conditions for overseas distribution given by Universal Pictures are too harsh, otherwise it would be difficult for me to play a role.

As one of the traditional Hollywood giants, Universal Pictures will definitely offer a very demanding overseas distribution agreement to a British film company.

And the overseas distribution company under Ryan's name is headquartered in London, England. It can be regarded as a local distribution company in the UK, and the distribution conditions given must be much more favorable than Universal Pictures.

"Besides, I came here this time because I need your help with something." Julia-Roberts showed a trace of hesitation on her face.

"What is it!" Ryan suddenly became curious.

With Julia Roberts' influence, there should be very few unresolved issues.

"Oscar."

Julia Roberts said very seriously: "I plan to fight for the Oscar for Best Actress."

Every commercially successful Hollywood actor and director will try to hit the Oscars, and Julia Roberts is no exception.

Now that she has just become the second female star in Hollywood to receive a basic salary of 20 million US dollars, it is the best time to hit the Oscars.

If a member of the $20 million club fails to win the Oscar for Best Actress, the Oscar jury will face a siege from the media.

As we all know, Julia Roberts' acting skills are much better than many Oscar heroines.

She just lacks a work suitable for winning awards.

"You plan to hit the Oscars with your role in "Notting Hill"!"

Ryan shook his head and said very directly: "This is a British film, it is difficult to get the approval of the Oscar jury, and "Notting Hill" is a love film, it is very difficult to win the Best Actress award. Disaster."

Even, it can be said that there is no possibility.

How could it be possible for a British love film to win the Oscar for Best Actress?

Those old men won't agree.

"Not Notting Hill."

Julia Roberts explained: "It's a film I'm working on based on the real events of Erin Brockovich and PG&E."

Hearing this, Ryan immediately understood that she was talking about "Never Compromise".

The global box office of the original film was as high as 250 million U.S. dollars, but the film budget was only 51 million U.S. dollars. It not only made Julia Roberts the highest-paid female star in Hollywood, but also won the Oscar for Best Actress as she wished.

Not to mention Julia Roberts' acting skills and huge public relations expenses, the content of "Never Compromise" alone can win the love of many academic old men.

An ordinary female lawyer, facing the behemoth Pacific Gas and Electric Company, not only did not flinch, but also received the support of more than 600 residents.

Satisfactory compensation has been obtained for pollution incidents, creating the largest amount of compensation in similar civil cases in the history of the United States.

To this end, Pacific Gas and Electric Company paid up to 333 million US dollars in compensation.

This incident is simply a living legend.

"Julie, don't you think it's too early!"

Ryan looked at Julia Roberts in doubt. The original "Never Compromise" was a film released in 2000, but now it is July 1999, and there is more than a year before the Oscar's public relations.

"I hope I can get an Oscar nomination for Best Actress first."

Julia-Roberts revealed her plan to "show an attitude to the Oscar jury."

Attitude is very important to the impact of Oscar awards. It is almost impossible for a film or actor who is not active enough to win important awards.

"So Ryan, I need your help," she continued.

The production company of "Notting Hill" is only a British film company, which has almost no influence on the Oscar jury. Universal Pictures, the film's North American distribution company, politely rejected her request.

Universal didn't see the need for this.

With the box office trend of "Notting Hill", it will be released from North America before the end of the year, and Universal Pictures will not waste resources on Oscars.

"What do I need to do!" Ryan asked without hesitation.

As long as it is within his ability, he doesn't mind helping Julia Roberts once, which can be regarded as a reward from "Notting Hill".

"Frank Pearson, he is the next president of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, it is best to get his support and the support of the Coppola family." Julia Roberts said two names.

"Never Compromise" is still in the works and won't be released until next year at the earliest, and there won't be any PR for the Oscars until around early 2001, when Frank Pearson is likely to take over as president of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences .

The most important point is that with Frank Pearson's network and influence, it is not difficult to help her get an Oscar nomination for Best Actress.

Frank Pearson!

Ryan frowned slightly. He did know Frank Pearson, and the relationship was pretty good.

With Frank Pearson's influence, it cannot be said that he can influence the decision of the Oscar jury, but it is not a big problem to affect some of them.

It's just, is he worth paying a lot of favors for Julia Roberts.

"Julie!"

Ryan thought about it for a while, looked at Julia Roberts in front of him and said slowly: "The Coppola family's problem is not very big."

With Sofia-Coppola, as long as you say hello to Sofia, you can basically solve it.

"As for Frank, I need to ask his opinion first."

While speaking, Ryan stood up and walked in front of Julia Roberts, looking at her unabashedly, from her face to her chest and her long legs.

Julia-Roberts agreed with a smile, not minding Ryan's fiery gaze at all, and even stretched her body deliberately, revealing a large piece of snow-white skin, and said with a pun: "It doesn't matter, we have plenty of time."

Hearing this, Ryan laughed, put his hands on Julia-Roberts' exposed shoulders, and then came to the back of the chair, "Do you need to help you relax?"

Being served by one of Hollywood's top directors and rich men is something worth showing off in itself.

Julia-Roberts smiled and said, "Okay."

Ryan helped her comb her hair, and suddenly leaned into Julia-Roberts' ear, and whispered, "Julie, you are so charming, why don't we try it here."

Not only was Julia Roberts slightly surprised, she turned to stare at Ryan and said, "I will be in Los Angeles for a few days on Friday..."

Before she could finish speaking, Ryan lowered his head and kissed, "Honey, your figure is so good, and your skills are also superb."

"Let's explore now what's different about being a member of the $20 million club."

Probably due to years of exercise, Julia Roberts has a very good figure, and with the halo of being a member of the $20 million club, she has a far more sense of accomplishment than the average Hollywood female star.

The next moment, Ryan got up and walked to the door, locked the door behind him, and returned to Julia Roberts, "Come here."

While speaking, Ryan stretched out and pulled Julia Roberts, walked to the sofa, "Get down."

Julia-Roberts was not embarrassed, she lay on the sofa with more interest, and hooked her fingers at Ryan, "Let me see if you have improved during this time."

"I won't let you down." Ryan lowered his head and kissed two pieces of sweet red lips.

Not long after, there were bursts of women's shouts in the lounge.

Famke-Jensen passed by the door of the lounge, just in time to hear a faint sound, subconsciously stopped, and stared at the door of the lounge with some doubts.

Soon the voice became louder and louder, and UU Reading www.uukanshu.com did not intend to hide it at all.

Famke-Jensen is not a rookie, it is easy to think of the picture inside.

"Looks like Julia Roberts is coming!"

A strange look flashed across Famke-Jensen's face, "It seems that Ryan is very powerful, even Julia-Roberts was beaten to death by him."

After listening for a while, she walked quickly towards the distance, she didn't want to be seen.

An hour or so later, Julia-Roberts hurried out of the studio looking tired.

Almost at the same time, Ryan walked out of the lounge contentedly and continued to shoot, enjoying just a flavoring in life.

Of course, the enjoyment brought by a member of the $20 million club is indeed extraordinary.

In the next few days, Ryan had in-depth exchanges with Julia-Roberts from time to time, and Ryan experienced a visual, physical, and spiritual multiple enjoyment.
