179 Another Battlefield

Ryan felt a little chilled, and he couldn't help but shivered twice, turned his head to look at Tucker and Jason in the room.

Tucker seemed to be lifted out of force at this time, and he had no bones or tendons on the sofa, like a pile of rubber hoods; Jason leaned against the window smoking cigarette, and the flashing cigarette butts complemented the night view of Los Angeles outside the window.

Ryan let out a long breath, calming down his tense spirit, but this was not an easy task. He had to let out a long breath again, but even so, his chest felt extremely stuffy. Even though he loosened the bow tie and shirt buttons, the suffocation that could not breathe still brought a strong sense of irritability and frustration.

Three small gold men in a row...Three small gold men in a row...

This almost gave them a fatal blow, not only defeating their efforts over the past month, but also completely dispersing all the confidence accumulated over the past year and a half. When Sofia Coppola announced the winner of the best adapted script, Ryan's first thought in his mind was... "Troy" would fail.

Thinking of this, Ryan quickly braked and breathed heavily. He could no longer continue to think about it, otherwise it would not be far from the destruction of the world. Ryan raised his head and hesitated for a moment, "Jason?" Jason turned around and cast a puzzled look. Ryan paused, "Do you have no opinion?"

Jason spitted out a cigarette, "I said before, this is just an Oscar. Even if "Lost Tokyo" unexpectedly won the Best Picture, Diorama Films could not be one of the eight major film companies overnight." In fact, this was what Lance said, Jason's thoughts surged to his mouth. But in the end he swallowed, turned his head and looked at the lights outside the window again.

Ryan took another deep breath, and he knew that Jason was right. They were once glorious and also appeared on the Oscar stage, but after the awards ceremony, everything had to start from scratch again. Because this is Hollywood. The competition is fierce and powerful Hollywood. Diorama Film has taken six years to get to its current position. Chaos Film only has a "City of God". The huge gap between them still takes time and works to make up for it.

Rome was not built in one day.

He was in trouble, just giving Lance more opportunities to take advantage of. What's more, "Lost Tokyo" did not lose tonight, and a best original script, Little Golden Man, is enough to make them invincible. So, he doesn't need to be angry, what he needs is calm and then defeat Lance step by step. "Troy" will be the first footprint.

"Tuck. Tucker." Ryan finally regained his usual calmness. Although the flames of anger were still burning in his chest at this time and could not be eliminated in a short period of time, now he can convert this anger into motivation, defeat Lance, and destroy Lance's motivation. "Tuck, we still have a mission tonight."

Tucker raised his head, his expression was stunned, as if he had not reacted, and his brain still had not resumed operation. It was not until Ryan's eyes burst out with anger. He woke up, "Uh, yes, tonight... Uh, Jason needs to deal with people from Lionsgate Pictures and United Pictures; then..." Tucker felt that his brain was running too slowly. He pondered for a long time before continuing, "It seems that there is a big project in his hand..."

"Alec-baldwin, that Baldwin?" Ryan frowned slightly, looking a little surprised.

"No, no." Tucker finally got a little normal at this time, "Howard-baldwin of Baldwin Pictures." Alec Baldwin is a famous entertainment family in the entertainment industry, and all three brothers are actors; Howard Baldwin is an upper-class celebrity in New York, an ice hockey fan, and the Hartford Whalers of the World Hockey League. "They are preparing a project, but they don't want to find a big company to cooperate, but hope to cooperate with a medium-sized production company of the same level."

After the Golden Globe Awards ceremony, the cooperation of "Naria Legend" was not reached. Disney Pictures was very fond of this series of novels, believing that it could copy the miracle of "Harry Potter", so Disney will complete the production itself, do its best to ensure quality, and keep all the benefits in its own hands.

Therefore, Diorama Film had to look for a brand new project again.

Ryan frowned when he heard the "big project". The "Troy" had already made Diorama Film unbearable; but after hearing it, Ryan's eyes lit up. It was really difficult to cooperate with large film companies. However, when he cooperated with medium-sized film companies like Baldwin Pictures, the two sides shared the risks, and the cooperation between the two sides was on par, which was indeed a good opportunity for Diorama Film.

As for the 2004 awards season plan, Jason has already made a draft, and the preliminary negotiations are also very smooth. Tonight, Jason will discuss the final cooperation details with Lionsgate Pictures and United Pictures, and begin to select directors, protagonists, etc. Coupled with the "Good night, good luck" that George Clooney is preparing, Diorama Pictures is indeed on the right track.

Thinking of this, Ryan couldn't help but clench his fists, "Very good, let's go now." Ryan greeted his friends, preparing to temporarily put the defeat of the award ceremony behind his mind and run the Oscar Night with all his heart, "Wait." Ryan remembered something again, looked at Jason and Tucker, hesitated for a while, and said, "We will definitely meet Lance tonight, and he is definitely the focus of the whole audience, but... there is no conflict allowed." Ryan's words were seen as Tucker said, Tuckerburn/can be refuted, but Ryan stopped him, "No! Tonight belongs to us, we must win several important projects, and only by developing us can we curb Lance. It's like 'Lost Tokyo', this is our advantage."

Ryan originally wanted to say, "What's more, the head-on confrontation with Lance tonight was simply a hit on the gun, which was completely a shame for himself." But after thinking about it carefully, he swallowed the sentence and did not say it, "So, ignore him, ignore him directly, and focus on our work, our own work!"

When Jason heard this, his eyes lit up and he said excitedly, "This is what I have always thought!"

Ryan nodded, "So, we'll do that tonight!"

Tucker looked at Jason, then looked at Ryan, and finally nodded weakly, then walked into the locker room with a look of delight and went to change clothes.

Although the Oscars and Oscar Night are actually two feasts in line with each other, for the people of Vanity Fair who live under the spotlight, maintaining proper etiquette and elegant manners is a necessary rule. Therefore, even if the interval is less than an hour, everyone will still return to their homes, change a dress, and then go to the Sunset Tower Hotel.

When Ryan and his group arrived at Sunset Tower Hotel, Oscar Night had just begun. The fans gathered at the entrance of Sunset Tower Hotel were bustling with fans on both sides of the street, including many Hollywood second- and third-tier actors. Everyone was racking their brains to try to get into this feast - anyone who could attend Oscar Night was enough to change their destiny in Hollywood.

Someone even led a pig and tried to convince the guard at the door that the pig was the big star in Zeng Jin's "Pig Baby" in order to enter the Sunset Tower Hotel.

Ryan adjusted his breathing, then walked out of the car and walked along the red carpet toward the entrance of Sunset Tower Hotel. Through the surging crowd at this time, he appeared in front of the guard at the door. Ryan showed the invitation of three people. The guard looked at the names on the invitation with a small flashlight, then said the names of three people to the headset, and then said politely, "Please look up at the camera above."

After about two seconds, the guard then smiled and said, "Mr. Cavalug, Mr. Toure, Mr. Berkeley, welcome to the Oscar Night of Vanity Fair."

Ryan pulled the collar of the suit, passed the guard level, walked forward along the red carpet, and left the envious sight behind him behind him. Soon, Ryan saw the vast lineup of reporters in front of him. In fact, there were only more than one hundred reporters in front of him - because most of the reporters were blocked outside the entrance, in order to protect everything that happened inside the Oscar Night, the reporters' entry and exit were controlled in the most rigorously, but because all the reporters were kept together, the scene looked spectacular.

Since Ryan is a producer, he rarely deals with reporters directly. He took it for granted and was about to step in. But his steps stopped involuntarily because he saw the figure standing in front of the reporter group, Lance.

Lance changed into a dark navy shirt and paired it with a black suit. The same color obviously showed a different temperament. Compared to the black suit that appeared brightly tonight, the outfit in front of him looked younger, revealing a kind of youthful and unrestrained outrageousness, just like the setting sun surging in the waves. The forbidden/desire temperament seemed to be breaking free from the shackles of the night little by little, and rushing towards him with his teeth and claws.

Lance turned his head, and the eyes of the two suddenly touched each other in the air, and immediately collided with dazzling sparks. Ryan raised his eyebrows slightly, and faced Lance's eyes calmly but imposingly. The powerful aura that had returned to the condescending perspective looked straight ahead without any weakness. Then a disdainful chuckled from the corner of his mouth, releasing a fierce fighting spirit, and said softly with his mouth shape, "I'll wait."

Then, Ryan straightened his back and took another step. His confident steps did not wait for the call of the reporter. He passed the interview area, intersected with Lance, and disappeared at the end of the red carpet.

Time and space intertwined, and the lights were bright, and the long shadows of the two people dragging on the red carpet were intertwined for a moment, but in a flash, and then they gradually drifted apart.
