Chapter 352: best picture nomination
Seek starting point subscription, monthly ticket, collection, recommendation ticket
Unlike the joy of the crew members of "There's Always a Sunshine", Harvey Weinstein's face was very solemn, and at the same time he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
There are two nominations for Best Director and Best Picture. With Miramax Films and his PR experience, at least one award can be guaranteed.
Better yet, the best picture Oscar winner.
In this way, "There is always a scorching sun" will definitely bring in a lot of income.
The only thing to worry about is that DreamWorks' "American Beauty" will obviously not give up the best picture award.
Orion Pictures' Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.
The revenue data of Orion Films cannot be ignored.
Thinking of this, Harvey Weinstein couldn't help but glance at Lesser Hallstrom. It seems that the following key public relations direction can only be placed on the best director award.
For film production companies, the influence and commercial value of the best director award is not as good as that of the best film award.
But it can still bring in a lot of money.
Of course, for the director, he hopes to win the best director award.
Harvey Weinstein is known as the backside of the Oscar push, for commercial gain, not for the Oscars themselves.
With the end of the announcement of the Oscar nomination list, the luncheon officially began.
In other words, everyone can sit down to eat and drink, take the opportunity to get to know each other, and expand the network of contacts.
Many actors and crews apply for Oscar nominations just to try their luck, and the communication during the luncheon is their focus.
Otherwise, it is difficult to see a lot of big Hollywood figures.
Ryan, as one of the key players in the field, naturally had a lot of people come to say hello, leave their contact information, and so on.
Ryan smiled and took the contact information, handed it over to Sofia Coppola, and then got up to say hello to Steven Spielberg.
"Hi Stephen!"
"At the beginning, I should have insisted on obtaining the overseas distribution rights of "American Beauty." Ryan said regretfully.
This is not to say casually, but it is really a pity.
With the overseas box office performance of "American Beauty", it will definitely bring in a lot of income.
"Ha ha."
"Ryan, it's a pity that you are one step late. DreamWorks has officially reached an overseas distribution agreement with Universal Pictures." Stephen Spielberg laughed heartily, obviously in a very good mood.
"American Beauty" was nominated for multiple awards, including Best Actor, Best Director, and Best Picture. It was the biggest winner of the Oscar nomination luncheon.
"By the way, I forgot to congratulate you, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has also been nominated for many awards."
Speaking of this, Steven Spielberg seemed to ask inadvertently: "In addition to the best foreign language film award, what does Orion Films think of the best director and best film awards!"
"Do you have any plans to win the prize!"
Ryan didn't answer, but looked at Stephen Spielberg with a smile and a glass of red wine, and said meaningfully: "It seems that we need to find another time."
try{mad1(\'gad2\');}catch(ex){} Hearing the words, Stephen Spielberg pondered for a while and said, "Yes."
The two films "American Beauty" and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" were nominated for the Best Director and Best Picture awards at the same time. The two can sit down and talk.
As for "There's Always a Sunshine" and Harvey Weinstein, who were also nominated, there is no such need.
Harvey-Weinstein's reputation is really not very flattering, and the majority shareholder of Miramax Films is Disney, so it is almost impossible for DreamWorks to cooperate with it.
At least in a short period of time, it is impossible for DreamWorks to have too much involvement with Disney.
The two chatted for a while, and Ryan saw George Lucas walking to the "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" crew table, talking to Sofia Coppola, Angelina Jolie, Tom Cruise, Lee Ann and the others talked, then said goodbye to Stephen Spielberg and left.
As soon as Ryan left, Roberto Bernini said with some doubts: "It seems that Orion Pictures also wants to try to win the Oscar for Best Director and Best Picture?"
"Who knows!" Jeffrey Katzenberg shook a glass of red wine a few times and said, "However, with Orion Pictures' revenue, it shouldn't be too much to spend a lot of money to publicize multiple awards. Big problem."
For the cooperation with Ryan's overseas distribution company, Jeffrey Katzenberg is very supportive. Not only are the commission conditions excellent, but the settlement speed of funds is far faster than that of Universal Pictures and Paramount.
At least the cooperation on DreamWorks Animation Studios, both parties are very happy.
"Harvey, long time no see."
When passing by the crew of "There's Always a Sunshine", Ryan deliberately greeted Harvey Weinstein and said, "It seems that I need to say congratulations to you."
"Thank you, no need." Harvey Weinstein nodded with a half-smile, then turned around, obviously not wanting to continue to pay attention to Ryan's cynicism.
Seeing this, Ryan was not angry, but instead showed a playful smile. Next, we can watch a good show.
When Ryan came back, besides George Lucas, there was another person on the table, a very beautiful woman.
Hilary Swank, who was just nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actress for her role in Boys Don't Cry.
But at this time, she didn't have any proud look on her face. Instead, she greeted several people with a low posture and left her contact information.
She didn't stay long, and hurried towards the next table.
"Hilary Swank!" Ryan picked up the business card and glanced at it, "Very strange name."
"This is a very good actress." Tom - Cruise took over the words: "I mean acting, not her popularity."
"Most of the films she starred in are small-budget art films, so few people have heard of her name." He explained.
Art Video!
When Tom Cruise said it, Ryan actually had some impressions. In her previous life, she seemed to have won the Oscar for Best Actress twice, but she had never been very popular.
Just like Tom Cruise said, she starred in almost all low-budget art films, and even won the Oscar for Best Actress twice, but it didn't bring her much fame.
try{mad1(\'gad2\');}catch(ex){} To put it bluntly, she is an art film actress, far away from the mainstream Hollywood crew, and her income is pitifully low.
Sofia Coppola on the side suddenly interjected, "You can include her in the shortlist for the audition for Charlie's Angels."
"Good proposal." Ryan nodded in agreement.
Not only is Hillary Swank's salary very cheap, but her acting skills can be praised by Tom Cruise, which is obviously very extraordinary.
"It seems that Orion Films likes to shoot films with women as the theme recently." Hearing the name of "Charlie's Angels", George Lucas suddenly felt a little weird.
First "Tomb Raider" and now "Charlie's Angels".
Recently, the shooting style of Orion Films seems to be a little strange
"In a short period of time, Orion Pictures doesn't have the energy to shoot "Charlie's Angels". This is just a plan." Ryan said truthfully.
Right now, Orion Pictures has a lot of shooting plans, and MGM's merger and acquisition, as well as the integration of overseas distribution companies and Blue Sky Studios, will be coming soon.
In a short period of time, it is impossible to continue to increase the shooting plan.
"George, why didn't you see Natalie?" Ryan suddenly realized that he didn't seem to see Natalie—Portman~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Star Wars: The Phantom Menace won three Oscar nominations, and One of the main actors in the film, Natalie Portman, did not come.
Speaking of Natalie Portman, George Lucas said very humorously: "As the heroine in the second Star Wars series, Natalie is rehearsing for another film, and It seems that the director of this film is standing in front of me right now."
"So it's up to me to ask you."
"Why isn't my little Natalie here!"
Ryan shrugged without any embarrassment, and said, "Well, it's my fault. George can go to my place for a big meal as compensation."
Natalie Portman attaches great importance to the characters in "Spider-Man", and has been studying the plot in the script these days.
"Then what are you waiting for!" George Lucas said half-jokingly, "I'm going to the wine cellar to pick a bottle of whiskey myself."
"The most expensive." Tom Cruise added.
"I'm going to pick out a bottle of brandy," Angelina-Jolie said.
"No problem." Ryan agreed very happily.
Although he didn't know what wine was in the wine cellar.
Regardless of past and present lives, he has no research on red wine, whiskey and other alcoholic beverages.
At the beginning, he only asked the housekeeper to buy a batch of wine to enrich the wine cellar, which can also be regarded as a collection.
It is impossible for guests to come and have a look. There is only an empty wine cellar without a bottle of collection.
The wine cellar is also a way of communication in the upper class in Europe and America.
