The most important award in the North American awards season is undoubtedly the Oscar. The announcement of the Oscar nomination list, which is the traditional Oscar nominee luncheon, is the focus of movie fans all over the world.

The nomination list is undoubtedly an admission ticket to the Oscars.

In order for "Hero" to be nominated for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, Embassy Film has done a lot of work.

Nearly $5 million has been invested in PR publicity.

This is also a good opportunity for the film to continue to expand its popularity before the Oscars. Ronan had promised the producers before, so he arrived at the nomination luncheon on time at 5:00 in the afternoon.

The School of Film Arts and Sciences places nominee lunch at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel, specializing in renting the huge No. 1 Ballroom

A red carpet that was not very long was laid at the entrance of the hotel, and hundreds of media reporters gathered.

There was an agreement in advance, and as soon as he walked into the media area, Ronan found Tom Cruise and Will Smith.

The three of them stood shoulder to shoulder, allowing the media reporter to take photos, but they all declined the interview.

Entering the banquet hall of the Ritz-Carlton Hotel, at Ronan's suggestion, Tom Cruise and Will Smith all changed seats with others and sat at the same table with Ronan.

The Oscar nominee luncheon was held in the form of a formal banquet, with dozens of round dining tables filling the banquet hall, which was a great entertainment party for eating and drinking.

Of course, those who can get nominations are happy, and those who cannot get nominations will return disappointed.

This is the second award-winning banquet that Ronan has attended recently.

Last week, he just attended the 60th American TV Film Golden Globe Awards Ceremony.

"Hero" won the Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film, but the winner was the Spanish film "Tell Her".

The Golden Globe Award is a weird award, and no one can understand what its criteria for award evaluation are. The popular Best Foreign Language Film Award-winning "City of God" returned empty-handed, which made countless people fall into the eye.

Gary Oldman once said that the Golden Globes are meaningless, they are just a collective ** of 90 incompetent people.

This famous personality actor may not be right, but it always makes sense.

And he is also known for his courage to speak the truth.

For example, there were countless people who were myths about Heath Ledger, saying that Heath Ledger died because he was wholeheartedly playing the Joker. Gary Oldman, who also starred in "The Dark Knight", only gave one sentence in an interview - nonsense.

Although the Golden Globe Awards have a completely different relationship with the Oscars, the exposure and publicity effects that the Golden Globe Awards can bring cannot be underestimated as an important award before the Oscars.

For celebrities, exposure is crucial.

Therefore, at today's nominee luncheon, not only did the vast majority of people who applied for the Oscars come to the scene, but also a lot of guests came to cheer.

Ronan introduced Tom Cruise and Will Smith, and other members of the "Hero" crew of Mr. Zhang at the next table, and started chatting with the two friends.

Compared with the members of the "Hero" crew, he is confident that the film can be nominated for the best foreign language film.

If you can get the best foreign language film nomination, you will take the opportunity to expand the scale of "Hero"'s North American screening.

Even if you cannot get a nomination, it is not the end of the world.

Not far away, Chris Renard from Shahai Entertainment Animation Studio is also sitting.

Compared with "Hero" and Best Foreign Language Film, "Peppa Pig" can almost 100% receive a best animated short film nomination.

The competition for this award is not fierce at all, and even the nomination list is simply a 7-choice five.

Not long after the Oscars ceremony, leaders of Hollywood forces like Ronan, who are not the first time participating in the Oscar game, can detect the possible results of the relevant nominations.

Director Zhang looked at Ronan, and there were three people in Ronan next to a small round table, and asked the male protagonist next to him: "Jet, can you talk to them?"

If one of Ravel Smith or Tom Cruise can be cooperated...

Jet Lee shook his head directly: "I can't talk to them, they and me... how to say it, there are two completely different levels in Hollywood."

Director Zhang nodded and said nothing.

"You mean the agent didn't do his best when you were chasing the prize?" Will Smith said directly when he heard Tom Cruise's words: "What do such an agent wants her to do? Just fire her squid."

Ronan reminded: "The problem between Tom and her has not been raised yet, please keep it confidential."

Will Smith quickly said, "I know, I won't talk nonsense." He looked at Tom Cruise, "Tom, what do you think?"

Tom Cruise said bluntly: "Let's talk about it when the nomination list is announced."

Will Smith thought for a while and said, "Yes, if you can get the best actor nomination, it's not suitable to change agents now."

The agent knows too much about the privacy and secrets of the client and there is nothing in normal times. If some news breaks out before the Oscars ceremony, it will definitely drag down the winning plan.

Stars like him and Tom Cruise have a lot of things covered under the halo. Not to mention the big problem of seeing the light, it is a troublesome after all.

Tom Cruise shrugged: "I guess I'm not likely to get the nomination."

While speaking, his eyes moved to the left, and Ronan also looked over, and saw four or five round dining tables across. Nicole Kidman was sitting on the crew of "Yat Moment", chatting and laughing with Harvey Weinstein.

Ronan could see that even though Tom Cruise was an open-minded person, his face was not very good-looking.

Everyone knows that it is impossible to hold Harvey Weinstein's thick legs to attack the Oscar without paying anything.

Will Smith probably saw some of Tom Cruise’s thoughts and said, “Even if this time doesn’t work, we still have a chance.”

He deliberately pointed at Ronan and joked: "Don't forget, we have a big backer!"

Tom Cruise turned around and said casually: "Ronan, don't you want Relativity Entertainment to win several Oscars for Best Pictures?"

Ronan had no choice but to spread his hands: "I want to, but it's not something that can be won just by taking the Oscars. A few years ago, Harvey Weinstein created the film "Shakespeare in Love", which made the academy very annoyed and made him cold for three years. But in these three years, another dream factory appeared, winning three consecutive Oscars for the best film. This year, Harvey Weinstein made a comeback. I heard that the nostalgic song and dance film "Chicago" is very much loved by those old men."

Will Smith snorted coldly: "It's been so many years, and they are still missing the so-called golden age."

Ronan suddenly said: "We should make a more nostalgic movie, such as black and white silent films."

"Yes." Tom Cruise seemed to be very inspired: "Aren't they nostalgic?"

Ronan was also inspired by his own words. Will black and white silent films with black and white transgender plus homosexuality win 100% in the future?

Sure enough, I am a genius!

Suddenly, Ronan felt someone staring at this side, and quickly turned around and found Nicole Kidman.

The Australian actress's eyes fell on Tom Cruise and she smiled at Tom Cruise. The originally calm Tom Cruise's breathing suddenly became rapid.

"Damn it!" Tom Cruise muttered: "I will definitely fire Pat Kinsley!"

Ronan said: "If you think about it, go and do it, I, Will, will support you."

"Yes," said Will Smith.

Ronan decided to change the topic of relaxation and asked, "Will, you called yesterday and said you had just returned to Los Angeles. I remember that you have been filming "The All-National Love". You shouldn't have secretly dated Charlize Theron?"

Will Smith quickly shook his head: "What a joke, that's an African iceberg. Are you interested in a woman like her who has a cold expression all day long? I went to Miami, where the Williams sisters were preparing for the Australian Open."

Ronan admired him very much: "You have another one to two?"

Will Smith seemed to have thought of something terrible, and her face changed. She did not answer Ronan's question, but said: "Ronan, Tom, I highly recommend you to try professional female athletes, especially tennis female players. Their legs are full of strength and they are so tight that they are so tense..."

Tom Cruise shook his head: "I'm not interested now."

Ronan said: "The Williams sisters are so scary. Will, their legs aren't pinched off your waist?"

"Cough...cough..." Will Smith avoided Ronan's question by coughing and said: "Do you have any female tennis players you like? I can ask Venus and Serena to help introduce you."

Are there any tennis beauties in this era? Ronan thought about it carefully and it seemed that Maria Sharapova, who was a beauty in her youth, did not debut, and the piglet's wife Ivan was probably in a training camp...

Not to mention, it really reminded him of a name.

Ronan asked: "Is Anna Kurnikova still playing?"

"I don't know much about this." Will Smith thought for a while and said, "It seems that Kurnikova has a boyfriend, so there is no chance. In fact, you can find a tennis princess. Hingis is definitely happy to meet an outstanding man like you."

Ronan remembers the name: "Swiss Hingis?"

Will Smith nodded: "Yes, she is the number one woman in the former world. She is very good at getting started and is willing to contact excellent men. It is said that she needs a lot in that aspect and is addicted."

Tom Cruise was a little helpless about these two and reminded: "You two."

Ronan smiled and said, "Yes, this is a tall Oscar. Discussions of these are a bit of a downward trend."

Will Smith didn't care and said, "Tom, you don't understand, Ronan must have experienced it. The more beautiful female celebrities you have been, the higher our style."
