"While "Genius Ripley won six nominations at this Oscar, the most important Best Director and Best Movie are not included. What do you think of this?"

"Shaan Don and Jude Law were nominated for Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor respectively. Who do you think is more likely to win the award?"

"Are you ready for your next work?"

On the long red carpet, several reporters stood behind the fence at the turn and tried their best to hand the microphone in front of a middle-aged man with bare head. Next to them were two men and one woman, both handsome, one blonde and the other were very handsome in suits, while the women were very beautiful, with blonde hair hanging down from one side, and with a light-colored long-tail evening dress, it had an indescribable temperament.

"I am very satisfied with the movie "The Genius Ripley". Although it is a small regret that it was not nominated for Best Director and Best Film, it is no big deal. At least, the nominations of Sean and Jude show that everyone still recognizes this movie, right?" Anthony Mingla answered the reporter's questions with a smile, although she was quite bored.

These topics are often asked as the Oscar approaches. He doesn't know how many times he has replied, but these people still ask over and over again. Will he suddenly get nervous and give the opposite answer?

Finally, a reporter ran away at Jude: "Do you think you may win an award, Jude?"

"If possible, I really hope that the Film Academy will award me a Little Golden Man. Of course, it is normal if they have other considerations." Jude answered very smoothly and pulled the people next to him. "But the most regrettable thing is that Jack was not nominated, otherwise we would have two best supporting actor nominations."

Unprepared Jack Davenport was pushed to the media by him, and then answered the questions with a wry smile. Similarly, on the other side of Mingla, Gwyneth kept posing and asked the reporters to press the shutter at will. They were all representatives of the movie. At this time, they gathered together on the red carpet, which was also a unique scenery before the awards ceremony. Of course, it would be better if the male protagonist Sean was there.

Since Minggra stepped on the red carpet, she has been looking for Sean inadvertently. What makes this movie most proud is that she discovered such a newcomer, which is even more proud than the movie won the Oscar for Best Director and Best Film nomination. He has won the Oscar for Best Director once, but he never thought he won the second time so soon. As for Best Film, it is indeed a bit regrettable, but that is also a headache for Weinstein and the others. The discovery of Sean has won him countless praises.

Many people were not optimistic about Mingla's decision, so I won't talk about the dispute with Weinstein. Even within the crew, many people were talking about it privately. Although these discussions were much less as the filming of the movie, when the promotion began, the media began to talk about this matter again.

What is "Mingra is gambling" and what is "This is the biggest strange story in Hollywood history", thousands of words boil down to one sentence: Mingra has used such a new actor who has been in the industry for less than a year to play the leading role, either going crazy or having an ulterior motive with the other party.

However, when the movie was released, the questioning guys seemed to be slapped heavily. Sean won unanimous praise from critics with his wonderful performance, and the doubts disappeared without a trace. Later, Sean's age problem broke out, which caused a surprising and admiration, so that such a literary work even topped the North American box office list.

So Mingla became synonymous with vision. People say that only he saw Sean's potential, and only he dared to use Sean with disagreement. For a director, what else is more worthy of praise than this kind of praise?

John Harrington, who was far away in the UK, couldn't help but call Mingla and asked about Sean specifically. Of course, as before, Mingla refused to tell Sean his address.

"There is no need for this. I just gave him some advice, let alone recommendation. If you have not considered his conditions, you may not choose him even if I recommend it." Harrington said, "Let's talk about this later. Although he asked you several times my address, I will see you again if possible."

So, at this time, on the red carpet before the Oscars, maybe Mingla didn't feel anything at first, but when Jude, Davenport and Gwyneth came to him one after another, he suddenly hoped that Sean could do the same.

However, since Mingla stepped on the red carpet, she has not seen him yet, and Jude and the others have not seen him, and they don’t know if they have already entered or have not come.

Well, this is his first time participating in the Oscar. He may be a little more busy and he will probably be late. Mingla said in his heart.

Immediately, he was about to call them into the auditorium, but at this moment, the group of reporters at the entrance suddenly began a small commotion, and everyone couldn't help but look over. Soon, a tall and tall figure appeared in Mingla's sight. He looked very modest with a smile, and at the same time, he was walking inside with a maturity that was not in line with his age.

After a few steps, he came to Mingla, the other party stopped, then extended his hands and hugged him: "It's great to see you here, Anthony."

Mingla was caught off guard and was hugged for a long time before reacting, but then she smiled and hugged her tightly. He could feel the other party's heartfelt respect. He was serious, hardworking, modest, and cautious. Although he would also use tricks when necessary, it did not damage his good image. Mingla would like Sean, not just because she discovered him.

Stepping into the front hall of the Holy Auditorium, Sean couldn't help but take a deep breath. He had been here twice before today.

The first time was as a tourist. At that time, he had just arrived in Los Angeles. In addition to looking for a job, he also visited around. The Holy Auditorium is one of the well-known buildings in Los Angeles and has held several Oscars. The music fountain outside is also one of the must-visit attractions for tourists. In addition, it is in the city center and is one of the Los Angeles Music Center buildings. It is in contrast to the city government and has always been very popular.

The second time came as an actor or Oscar nominee for Best Actor. The organizer's film school will rehearse before the official award ceremony and invite nominees and award guests to participate.

Invited people can participate or not, after all, this is just a rehearsal, and many people do have something to do and cannot separate themselves. If they don’t participate, the organizer will find someone who is similar in shape to the invitation to replace the position. If it is a singer who wants to sing on stage, he or she will also specially sing a singer with good singing skills to sing on behalf of others.

At this time, the young singers selected as the singers will try their best to express themselves, hoping to be favored by others, and there are indeed many young singers who have been discovered in such occasions. Of course, it is not enough to sing too well. It is said that during the rehearsal last year, Whitney was unable to attend the show, so the organizer found a young female singer to sing with Mariah Carey for the duet. As a result, the young female singer performed better than Whitney, so the queen was furious and found someone to ban the female singer (note).

In short, becoming famous requires a price, so Sean came to participate in the rehearsal. He is a rising star, but he is not a big brand, and even if he is a big brand, he cannot completely ignore certain rules, so he comes to participate in the rehearsal, leave a good impression on the film school, and meet some characters by the way.

He really talked to some people, such as Sam Mendes, the director of "American Beauty", who had met at the Golden Globes before but had no communication. Or Russell Clow, the male lead in "The Insider", and where did he hear a gossip? It is said that in the nomination for the best actor, there should have been the male lead in "Sweet and Humble", but the judges had a problem in communication and finally wrote it as Sean Tang. After the list was announced, it was found that it was wrong, but it was too late to modify it, so he had to make Sean Tang the third youngest best actor nominee in the history of Oscars.

A good joke, at least Sean was stunned for a long time after hearing it. This is actually impossible. Although the names of the two of them are the same, their surnames are completely different. If the staff of the Film Academy make all this mistake, then it is better to quit as soon as possible. However, taking advantage of this topic, he won over his relationship with Russell and others, and even said hello on the red carpet just now.

Sean should have stopped to chat with them, and made a close gesture with them in front of the reporters, making him look like he has many friends, which was taught by Frederick. Unfortunately, Mingla was not far ahead, so he chose to rush over and hug his director.

Yes, this makes him seem modest and grateful. Sean does have this idea, but this is not the main reason. Sean is truly grateful to Mingla. If it weren't for this bald old man, he wouldn't know when he would have to wait for the opportunity to appear on the big screen, so it would not be an exaggeration to express his gratitude no matter how he expressed his gratitude.

Similarly, he was grateful to recommend him to Harrington in Mingla, so he asked Mingla several times about his address in the UK, but unfortunately he never told him.

Just now, Mingla smiled and patted his shoulder: "It depends on you, Sean, if God arranges you to meet, you will definitely find him."

Although he wanted to complain that he was not looking for true love, Sean finally shrugged with a bitter smile.

"Hey, what are you stumbled on, hurry up and go in." Jude slapped his shoulder at this time, and Davenport and Mingla walked in front.

"What, can't I take a closer look?"

"You mean, you can't come here in the future?"

"Don't think this is an award ceremony, I dare not touch you, Jude."

"Ahhh, then come."
