Chapter 418: new Zealand

"The best picture nominees for the 73rd Academy Awards are..."

"The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" was no surprise nominated for multiple awards, including 13 nominations for Best Director and Best Picture.

Another big winner is "Gladiator", jointly produced by DreamWorks and Universal Pictures, which also received 11 nominations, including three important nominations for Best Director, Best Picture, and Best Actor.

Even Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone was nominated for several technical awards.

It can be said that this year's Oscar nomination luncheon is full of commercial atmosphere.

The nominees for best picture were announced, and Stephen Spielberg looked sideways at the calm Ryan and the excited Peter Jackson at the next table, and couldn't help but flash a trace of worry.

On the Oscars, "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" will be "Gladiator"'s biggest competitor.

But thinking of the trade union awards, Stephen Spielberg suddenly smiled.

Oscar nominations mean nothing.

What's more, for Hollywood insiders, "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" is not a popular film at this year's Oscars.

The reason is very simple.

Including the Chicago Film Critics Association Awards, Los Angeles Film Critics Association Awards, New York Film Critics Association Awards, Directors Guild Awards, Producers Union and other union awards, "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" has almost no gains.

Even at the Golden Globe Awards, "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" was a complete failure.

It all shows one thing, many members of the Academy did not intend to give "Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring" important awards, at most some technical awards.

Another key point is that Orion Pictures did not spend a large amount of public relations funds, otherwise it could at least win some union and Golden Globe awards.

"Peter, how does it feel to be nominated for Best Director for the first time!" Ryan asked looking at the excited Peter-Jackson.

"Very good." Peter Jackson slightly lowered his voice, "I can't wait for the Oscars to come soon."

Seeing this, Ryan patted him on the shoulder, "You will get your wish."

Except, he wasn't referring to The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, or even The Lord of the Rings: The Knight of the Two Towers, but The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King.

Now is not the time for Orion Pictures to invest a lot of public relations resources.

It has won 13 nominations, including nominations for important awards such as best director and best picture, and has met the demands of Orion Films.

Next, Orion Pictures will focus on the DVD release of "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" and the promotion of "The Lord of the Rings: The Knight of the Two Towers", as well as the release of "Special Forces: The Rise of Cobra" in March.

The day after the Oscar nominations luncheon, Ryan handed over work to Sofia Coppola and boarded a flight out of Los Angeles.

By mid-February, when Ryan was on vacation in New Zealand, the North American box office of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" had exceeded 300 million U.S. dollars, the overseas box office was close to 600 million U.S. dollars, and the global box office reached 900 million U.S. dollars, becoming the second largest box office this year. A film that grossed over $900 million worldwide.

It has set off a magical frenzy in many countries and regions around the world.

The golden iron triangle in the film has become the most famous child star in the world.

"900 million dollars at the global box office!"

Holding a fishing rod, Cindy Crawford said boredly: "This film may be able to surpass the global box office of "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" with 968 million US dollars."

"It's not easy to say."

Ryan focused on holding the fishing rod, and said, "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone will need a certain amount of luck to surpass "Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" at the global box office."

No one is sure that "Harry-Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" can surpass the global box office of "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring".

This is a resort in Wellington, built on a seaside, you can sit on a small wooden pier to fish, and you can see the endless sea.

During their vacation in New Zealand, Ryan and Cindy-Crawford browsed the famous scenic spots in New Zealand.

Many places maintain pure natural scenery.

When you are in it, you seem to be integrated into nature, breathe fresh air, enjoy a free life, away from the noise of Hollywood.

This is real life.

Cindy Crawford glanced at the empty fish barrel beside her, and simply put down the fishing rod in her hand, "I don't have much talent for fishing."

"It doesn't matter." Ryan pointed to a few fish in his fish bucket and said, "They are enough to make a delicious fish soup."

"In the evening, you can **** craft."

Cindy Crawford looked at his fish bucket, there were at least five or six large fish, and then thought of her own empty fish bucket.

She couldn't help curling her lips, and said deliberately: "It seems that you are more suitable for fishing or opening a restaurant, rather than a Hollywood director."

"Miss Cindy-Crawford!" Ryan rolled his eyes and immediately countered, "Can I understand this being jealous?"

"Jealous?" Cindy Crawford said exaggeratedly: "I will be jealous of you?"

In front of Cindy Crawford, Ryan naturally didn't have to be shy about anything, he could joke unscrupulously, "I can swallow a beautiful mermaid in one gulp, and you..."

He smiled and winked at Cindy Crawford, "I can only sip the fish soup."

"damn it!"

Cindy Crawford gave him a hard look. "You should tell some other woman that."

"Like Angelina-Jolie!"

On this kind of topic, Ryan raised his hand and surrendered directly, so as not to spoil the atmosphere, "Okay, I'm the loser."

Cindy Crawford snorted softly, didn't continue to struggle, and chose to change the subject, "When do you plan to go back!"

"Again, you're not going to be at the Oscars next week."

"It will take a while." Ryan put the fishing rod aside, stood up and stretched his body, "I'm not interested in Oscar."

The two chatted for a while, and Ryan told Cindy Crawford to pack up and prepare to go back.

At the entrance of the hotel, I met a very unexpected person.

"Hello, Mr. Gosling, Miss Cindy." A look of surprise flashed across Rand Gerber's face, and his eyes fell on Cindy Crawford involuntarily.

"Hello, Mr. Rand!" Ryan greeted with a smile.

"Any time in the evening!" Lander-Gerber invited, "I know a nice restaurant."

"Sorry, I have a party tonight." Ryan politely declined.

"It doesn't matter." Lander-Gerber smiled~www.wuxiaspot.com~ said goodbye, and walked out of the hotel.

Walking into the elevator, Cindy Crawford crossed her arms, "Recently, I keep running into this person."

"Cindy, you are so beautiful." Ryan glanced at Cindy-Crawford, and there seemed to be a hint of vigilance in his heart.

Not only did he know Rand-Gerber, but he also read many reports about him in his previous life.

A wealthy American businessman, mainly engaged in restaurants, bars and other industries, he also founded several companies.

Of course, Rand Gerber's net worth is nothing to Ryan, and it may not even be comparable to Cindy Crawford.

Cindy Crawford, she's a rich little lady.

What makes Ryan vigilant is that Cindy Crawford encountered setbacks in Hollywood development in her previous life, and finally chose to marry her suitor Lander Gerber.

"You are jealous." Cindy Crawford said deliberately with a smile.

"Tonight, I'll tell you what real jealousy is." Ryan whispered provocatively into Cindy Crawford's ear.

In this regard, Cindy - Crawford show no weakness.

The elevator stopped, and the two walked into the luxurious suite and came to a huge living room.

This is a luxury duplex suite with a fairly large area, with two floors, two large bathrooms and a small washroom, and a spacious open kitchen downstairs.

Of course, the daily room rate is also very expensive.

After Cindy Crawford changed her slippers, she couldn't wait to go to the bathroom on the second floor, "I'm going to change some clothes."

"The fish soup is ready, remember to call me."

Ryan put away the fishing tackle and the fish bucket, went to another bathroom, took a brief shower, and started to clean up the few fish in the fish bucket.

He planned to make a fish soup first, and fry the remaining fish a little.
