Chapter 40: Oscar nominations

After entering February, the crew moved to Nevada. As the filming progress far exceeded the plan, Cameron adjusted the crew. Ryan got a two-week vacation, and it was full for him to return. The school of strangeness.

For Ryan, the school can be said to be both happy and troublesome. I am delighted that there is such a star student in the school, who can start the signboard and get more students. For headaches, he always asks for leave. It can be as short as a few weeks and as long as several months. Fortunately, His grades have been good, and his guardian is also generous. So far, the school has received two sponsorships worth 100,000 U.S. dollars.

Sitting in the classroom, Ryan rarely did not write or draw. He seemed to be attending the class seriously, but in fact he was already wandering away.

"Home Alone" gradually withdrew from North American theaters and won more than 280 million US dollars in the North American box office. Although Disney has done a lot of work in private, it is almost impossible for this film to surpass "Sixth Sense". However, The second place in the box office rankings must be firmly secured.

After entering the New Year, a new awards season kicked off. "Sixth Sense" received a lot of nominations and awards, especially for himself, who won the best in the Chicago Film Critics Association and the Golden Globe Awards. Nominated for a supporting actor, and even the Young Star Award gave him a big hat as the best young actor.

Of course, he didn't attend all these awards, and Jinsli did all the work, otherwise he would have to be exhausted.

Frankly speaking, except for the Oscars, he doesn't pay attention to the other awards, even the Golden Globes.

Although in North America, the Golden Globe is the only film award for the Oscars, it has been criticized and shamed. He doesn't want to mix it up. Besides, Pie Kingsley and Harvey Weinstein almost All my energy was put on Oscar's public relations.

Yes, Oscar is fair, but it is not that it will not be affected. Of course, the impact here is not to squeeze money or engage in shady. It is to seek death by yourself. It really violates the bottom line of the film school. They don't mind throwing you in front of the public. , In order to show their fairness and justice.

You should know that many judges of the college have not even seen the nominated film before voting. People who can find a clip to watch are already considered responsible. Then what is the basis for their voting?

Media reports and evaluations from well-known film critics!

There is no doubt that the closer the film is released to the awards season, the more advantageous it will be. In this respect, "Sixth Sense" will undoubtedly fall short.

But with the popularity of "Home Alone", he once again became the focus of the media, and even the "Sixth Sense" was pulled out by many media, and compared with this purely funny movie, he was doing it for him. A free publicity.

These are definitely not enough. As early as the new year, the public relations battle of "Sixth Sense" has begun. Ryan and Miramax jointly funded and bought a full 12 pages of "Vanity Fair" and "Hollywood Report." , Began to build momentum for the "Sixth Sense", and he gave the "Los Angeles Times" an exclusive news, the third episode of Harry Potter will be listed in March, the other party's reciprocity, in the report will be more or less biased.

And this month, "Sixth Sense" won the national audience's vote of 1990's favorite movie, which is another weight.

What they did was just to be nominated for Oscars and get admission tickets. As for winning, it depends not only on strength, but also on luck. "Sixth Sense" is another thriller, which is inherent There are weaknesses. In Miramax's public relations plan, as long as they can get any of the golden figures, it will be a big victory.

The school bell rang, Ryan packed up his things, took out the backpack from the locker, and walked towards the school door. Before going too far, Jerry and Peter chased him from behind.

"Ryan, the third episode of Harry Potter will really be published in March?" Jerry asked.

"That's right." Ryan nodded.

"Then have you finished writing? Can you let us see first." Peter gave a pleasing smile.

"It's finished."

Just when the eyes of the two guys were shining, he made a helpless gesture, "I have already mailed it to the publishing house, and there is no manuscript left."

Seeing the two of them downcast, Ryan sighed, "Well, after I get the sample book, I can show it to you first, but it's not allowed to be passed on."

"No problem! We guarantee it!"

Ryan had just walked out of the school gate, and immediately found that something was wrong. The flashing lights appeared to dazzle blind people. There were a total of 20 or 30 reporters, like a big green fly smelling blood. Encircled in an instant, behind them, I don't know which weird TV station was, and even the TV OB van drove over.

He is okay. After all, he has experienced scenes larger and more chaotic than this, but Jerry and Peter around him paled with fright and their bodies trembled.

Fortunately, the reporter's goal was him, and they didn't embarrass his two classmates.

"Ryan, I’m Ivanni from FOX TV. I want to ask what do you think of getting the Oscar nomination?" The reporter who ran the fastest was stopped by the security guard George, who rushed out of the school. He shouted desperately into the microphone.

"Ryan, at the age of just eleven, you were nominated for an Oscar..."

"Oscar?" Ryan seemed to understand something, and then raised his voice, "Quiet!"

"Everyone, please keep order, you are so messy, I can't hear anything." Ryan pointed to his ear and quickly found an acquaintance, Mick Taylor of the Los Angeles Times, "Mick, what about what's going on?"

"Ryan, this afternoon the Academy of Film just announced the 63rd Academy Awards nominations. "Sixth Sense" won six nominations, namely Best Picture, Best Director, Best Supporting Actress, and Best Actor. Supporting role, best original screenplay and best film editing, of which you won two nominations!" Mick Taylor said this sentence in one breath.

"It turned out to be like this!"

No wonder these guys are crazy, but he doesn't have too many surprises and surprises. After all, this movie has also received many Oscar nominations in his previous life, although he can't remember a few.

"Ryan, what do you think?" someone asked impatiently.

"Thank you very much for the recognition of the Film Academy, this is my honor, thank you!" This sentence must be said, this is the power of authority.

"Do you think you will win an award?"

"You will know when the Oscars are over." He shrugged.

"The Sixth Sense and Home Alone both got close to 300 million U.S. dollars in box office. How did you do it?"

"That is the effort of the whole team." Ryan will not be led by them.

"In the history of Oscars, only the exorcist and the great white shark have been nominated for best picture in the horror film. The sixth sense is the third. Do you think it will achieve an unprecedented breakthrough?"

"Let's ask the academy for this question." Ryan rolled his eyes and wanted to tell him that the breakthrough will be next year. The movie is called "The Silent Lamb."

"Ryan, recently several couples have publicly declared that you are their lost child..."

At this moment, a group of people squeezed in, but Nicole’s assistant came to pick him up. Seeing reporters at the door, he immediately realized that the situation was not good, and got support from the school.

Under the protection of several male teachers, Ryan and the three got into the car. When the car drove onto the highway, they finally let out a sigh of relief.

"I'm sorry, Jerry, Peter, I have implicated you in." The two classmates were still a little frightened, so the boy had to pat them on the arm.

"It's okay... it doesn't matter."

Even though they know that Ryan is now a star, to what extent is it famous for children of this age, there is no clear concept, and after experiencing today's scene, they finally understand a little bit.

"Where is your home? I will send you home first."

...

"Dear viewers, here is the news broadcast of Fox Television. Just today, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced the nominations for the 63rd Academy Awards. The outstanding performance in "Six Senses" won two nominations for Best Original Screenplay and Best Supporting Actor respectively. Now we are in front of St. John's Elementary School where Ryan is studying...He is out, Ryan..."

"Ryan...Ryan Jenkins took a car and left the school after answering a few questions from the reporter. We will wait and see if he can win an Oscar statuette..."

Natalie Hurschle stared, watching the show on TV, and couldn’t tell what it was like, that nasty guy, UU reading www. uukanshu. com has become a dazzling star in just one year, when will you be able to shine?

"Nate, why are you distracted?" asked the mother who was sitting on the other side.

"Huh? Mom." Natalie pointed to the TV, "I'm just happy for Ryan."

went back to her room and sat at the desk. Natalie was a little lost. There was a photo frame directly opposite her. Inside was a photo of her and Ryan. This was the photo of him in front of her house last time.

In a blink of an eye, another six months have passed. She still can only perform on the community stage, and he is about to be on the Oscar stage!

Not long after returning home, Ryan received many congratulatory calls, such as sending Jinsli, Touchstone Pictures, Miramax, Harvey Weinstein, and so on.

"It's a pity, Al, you didn't get the nomination for best actor." He said into the microphone.

"It doesn't matter, there is always a chance." Al Pacino's mentality is indeed very good.

Similarly, Ryan also made congratulatory calls to others, such as David Fincher, the director was very influenced by him. Not only did he change his debut, he also won the best director for the first time he took charge of the film guide. The nomination, whether this is good or bad for him, the boy is not clear.

Of course, Nicole was the happiest person. She was so emotional that she kissed Ryan several times on the face. You can understand her mood by thinking about the mainstream media’s evaluation of her—the acting is as amazing as her beauty. Up.
