Chapter 478: good start

  Group built a new entertainment complex at the junction of Hollywood Boulevard and Highland Boulevard, adjacent to the Chinese Theater, which began to be used on November 9 last year. And it has reached an agreement with the Oscars, and the Oscars for the next 20 years will be held here.

Without a doubt, this is a very good deal!

Because the Kodak Group, which produces film, spent $74 million to buy the naming rights of this theater for 20 years!

From now on, this is the Kodak Theater!

Regarding this matter, Dunn is also quite a bit regretful. If it weren't for the fact that his relationship with Kirk Douglas was too tense, he would also want to bid.

Called the imax theater, Netflix theater, or rose theater, Pixar theater, are very good.

Of course, the best is the Dolby Theater!

But it doesn't matter, the digital age has arrived, and the Kodak Group sticks to the film industry and does not let go, so that the world's giant group will quickly degenerate.

This is the power of technology!

When Kodak had no spare money to pay the naming fee, it would not be too late for Dunn to make another move. At that time, Dunn's power will definitely be extremely expanded, and even if Kirk Douglas interferes, it will not work.

On March 24, 2002, the 74th Academy Awards ceremony was held at the Kodak Theater.

Dunn is holding the heroine Nicole Kidman of "A Beautiful Mind" on the left and Natalie Portman, the heroine of "Juno" on the right, making an unusually high-profile appearance.

At last year's Oscar, Dunn was careful, for fear that the broadcaster abc would deliberately discredit him.

Don't be afraid now, the broadcaster is still abc, but Tang En can make a big splash and be unscrupulous!

Michael Eisner must not have dared to do anything about it.

This year's Oscars have been greatly affected by the terrorist attack. It can be seen that this year's security team has increased significantly compared with previous years, and the red carpet stands before the party will increase the reservation limit. Applicants will be selected randomly, and To undergo a background check.

In addition, the other highlights are-Woody Allen is about to appear; Oscar tribute montage; Will Natalie Portman win the best actress...

At the beginning of the ceremony, Dunn sat in the middle of the "A Beautiful Mind" and "Juno" crew, with Nicole Kidman on the left smiling and Natalie Portman on the right.

"A Beautiful Mind" is the most politically correct of all films, with 8 nominations in total; "Juno"...maybe the most politically incorrect of all, winning Best Screenplay and Best Actress Two nominations.

In addition, the musical "Moulin Rouge" also received 7 nominations.

"Originally, Director Luhrman wanted me to play the female lead in "Moulin Rouge", but at that time I wanted to make "A Beautiful Mind", so I refused." Nicole Kidman whispered in Dunn's ear.

Baz Luhrman is an Australian director. After failing to contact Nicole Kidman, he found Naomi Watts as the protagonist, who also successfully won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress Nomination.

The Aussie Gang is really united.

Tang En laughed and joked, "Why, do you regret it?"

Nicole Kidman shook her head, "What's the use of regret? Besides, Naomi didn't get a nomination, but "A Beautiful Mind"... will probably give me an Oscar."

Dunn lowered his voice, "Trust me, Nicole, you will definitely win this year's Best Supporting Actress!"

"Lend your auspicious words!"

Nicole Kidman chuckled.

The ceremony began quickly, with first guest Tom Cruise on stage, introducing legendary filmmaker Errol Morris, in honor of the art of montage.

Then, there is Oseo's first award - Best Supporting Actress!

The last Best Supporting Actor winner Benicio del Toro took the stage, opened the envelope and read the winner's name aloud: "Nicole Kidman, "A Beautiful Mind" ."

"Buzz!"

The audience stood up and applauded enthusiastically.

Nicole Kidman slowly got up, with slight tears flashing in her eyes, hugged Dunn tightly, and then hugged Natalie Portman, Russell Crowe and others one by one, deeply. Taking a breath, she slightly lifted the corner of her skirt with her right hand, standing tall and straight, and gracefully walked onto the podium.

...

After an incoherent award speech, Academy President Frank Pearson took the stage to deliver opening remarks and welcome guests to the awards ceremony.

Nicole Kidman also came back from the backstage at this time, holding a heavy golden figure in her hand, her face was rosy and she was shaking with excitement.

"Don, you are so great!"

At this time, she could not wait to throw herself into Tang En's arms, take whatever she wants, and let him pick and choose.

She was so happy.

This is the Academy Awards!

Is the first Australian actress to receive such an honor!

In recent years, the "Australian Gang" has united and worked hard to expand its territory in Hollywood, and it has indeed achieved no small achievements.

Mel Gibson won the Oscar for Best Director, and Geoffrey Rush won the Oscar for Best Actor, but among the actresses, there has been no achievement.

Now, Nicole Kidman finally has a breakthrough!

She represents all Australian actresses and proves that they too can have a place in Hollywood!

And this really shows that Nicole Kidman's position as the vice president of the "Australian Gang" Fellow Association is well deserved. She is the first among Australian actresses!

For various reasons, it was impossible for her not to be excited.

Tang En held her hand and found that her palm was sweaty. He smiled and said, "Relax, you are a big star, an Oscar supporting actress."

Last year, Natalie won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for "Soul Shifting Girl"!

Nicole Kidman shook her head, unable to hide her excitement, "You don't understand, you don't understand what the Oscars mean to us Australian actors, you are Americans, and you don't understand the difficulties of our foreigners."

"American..."

Dunn was slightly in a daze.

"By the way, how do you know that I will definitely win this award?" Nicole Kidman was not too excited yet, and kept talking while holding Dunn.

Next was the Best Editing Award, and "Unsinkable" won the award successfully, but this award was of little significance, so Dunn joked with her, "Me? It's very simple, there are two philosophies of Oscar: one, political correctness; Two, the art of balance. A Beautiful Mind is the greatest political correctness, but I can't possibly win the Best Director Award. For balance, you have to win no matter what."

"Ah?" Nicole Kidman's face turned pale, and even the joy after winning the award faded a bit, "You can't win the award? This is too unfair, "A Beautiful Mind" is so good, you are the biggest hero !"

Dunn had already figured it out, and said lightly: "Let's not talk about Kirk Douglas, even if it didn't, it would be difficult for the Oscars to award me the Best Director Award. I'm too young. Think about it a few years ago. 'Titanic,' wasn't it? I didn't win best director and Kate Winslet got best actress."

"Is this the art of balance?"

"Yes."

Nicole Kidman was suddenly a little disappointed, "But I don't want to sacrifice you to make myself perfect."

Tang En ticked in her palm, blinked his eyes quickly, and laughed in a low voice: "Don't take it to heart if you want me."

Nicole Kidman gave him a coquettish glance, then leaned over and whispered, "Australian actresses, let me know who you like."

Tang En almost laughed, with a playful look on his face, "Can you do it?"

Nicole Kidman looked serious, "What do you think?"

Dunn squeezed his eyes, "what about you?"

Nicole Kidman glared at him and snorted. After half a minute, he said in a low voice, "If you want, just invite me."

Dunn's face flashed with pride that could not be concealed.

Natalie pinched him on his thigh and snorted, "Looking at your expression, you know it's not good!"

"hey-hey."

Dunn enjoyed the feeling of hugging from side to side, and leaned over to tease Natalie again, "She was thanking me just now. You won the award later, how would you like to thank me?"

Natalie rolled his eyes at him, "Award? You really want to!"

"If you don't even have a dream, what's the difference between that and salted fish?"

"What's the meaning?"

Tang En coughed, "I mean... If you really win, what reward are you going to give me?"

Natalie bit her lip and looked at him, and said angrily, "Your thoughts are so evil!"

"Ah? I didn't say anything?" Dunn looked wronged.

Natalie hummed: "You don't have to say it, I know it too."

Tang En asked with a smile, "Then tell me, what am I thinking?"

"You must want... to want me and Scarlett to accompany you... to make a fool of yourself." Natalie's face was slightly hot.

Dunn's eyes widened in surprise, "Nate, you have figured out all my ways!"

Natalie raised her nose and said, "You are full of women, what's the problem?"

"Hehe~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Tang En didn't explain, "Then do you agree? "

"what?"

"What about us and Scarlett?"

Natalie's face turned cold and she snorted, "Dream!"

"I can help you get an Oscar."

"Then wait until the award is awarded!"

Natalie pursed her lips slightly.

Tang En smiled slightly, very arrogant, and said in a low voice: "That's okay, even if I meet a lot of beautiful women at the Vanity Fair party today, I promise to go home and live!"

This topic made Natalie feel very awkward. Of course she was looking forward to the Oscar winner, but she was also very nervous, anxious and uneasy about the ridiculous things like Dunn and Scarlett.

Her family is very traditional and conservative. She filmed "The Girl Who Moved Soul", there was a scene of kissing Nicole Kidman, but when she returned home, she was severely criticized by her father, who thought it was against her beliefs, blasphemy against God.

If you roll with Dunn and Scarlett...

Although she has never done such a thing, she has communicated with many women in the Mid-Levels Manor and knows what will happen when the three of them are together.

Women and women kissing, is a common thing.

She doesn't reject Scarlett, but she has a grudge in her heart.

"Cirque du Soleil is here, watch the show, I really like it!"

Natalie pointed to the darkened stage and immediately changed the subject.

Next up is the world's top troupe, Cirque du Soleil, performing a dance repertoire inspired by film and visual effects.

Tang En was full of arrogance, "Do you like it? It's simple, I'll buy it and give it to you!"

In the theater business, Tang En Pictures will have to be involved sooner or later.

Just like Disney.

Not to mention Broadway musicals and Las Vegas fantasy dramas, such business is indispensable in amusement parks alone.
