After the New Year, "Far Cry" which was previewed before Christmas officially landed in North America. Although it did not hold its premiere, relying on the strong appeal of Ryan and Nicole, as well as the massive comments about the movie in the media recently, it has attracted a considerable number of viewers to buy tickets to watch it.

The first week was more than 28 million US dollars and the next week was more than 22 million US dollars. Two weeks after its release, the movie's profitability was not a problem at all.

Although the media and film critics inevitably criticized the structure of the movie similar to "The Sixth Sense", they praised Nicole's performance in it, believing that she supported the entire movie alone.

At the same time, "Cat and Mouse Game" began to fall off the stage in North America. After entering mid-January, there were only less than 1,000 theaters left, but the box office in North America steadily stepped into the threshold of 200 million US dollars, and DreamWorks and Jenkins Pictures achieved a bumper harvest.

As early as last month, Harvey Weinstein began to jump up and down in the circle, wandering among the core figures of the academy, and fully exerting his wrists that he has trained over the past few years.

Ryan did not relax, and millions of dollars entered relevant departments of major mainstream media through the channels of Pi Jinli. Reports about "Cat and Mouse Game" and "Far Cry" were released one after another. The top priority was naturally the high evaluation of his and Nicole's acting skills.

No matter when, publicity and marketing are an indispensable means. At this time, people who are stingy in money are very likely to say goodbye to the nomination in advance.

Of course, the degree must be mastered well, otherwise it will be less than worth the consequences. Fortunately, in the past few years, Pi Jinsli has enough skills.

Throughout January, Hollywood was quite a bit of a trance, with PR companies hiring running around, one after another held in other names, and actually the public relations parties were dazzled by the media and the public.

In fact, some people's methods have approached the bottom line of the School of Film Arts and Sciences, and have received some warnings, whether in secret or in a bright and clear manner. If they do not know how to restrain themselves, their reputation will definitely be ruined.

What unexpected happened at this time. In mid-January, the college announced the nomination list for the 69th Academy Awards one week ahead of schedule.

"Ryan, congratulations, the nomination list will be announced in the afternoon."

It was a Monday morning. Ryan was busy with the script of "Irene Brockwich" when he suddenly received a call from Harvey Weinstein.

"Okay. Harvey, don't keep it in a silence, okay?" Ryan closed the notebook.

"Far Cry of the Island won the nomination for Best Actress and Best Editing, and "Cat and Mouse Game" won the four nominations for Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor, Best Photography and Best Soundtrack."

Hearing the sound from the phone, Ryan breathed a long sigh. He put in so much resources and energy and finally achieved satisfactory results.

"Congratulations, Best Actor." Harvey Weinstein was also happy, after all, it was related to a billion-dollar box office deal.

"Come on, Harvey. It's just a nomination." Ryan thought for a while and asked, "Where is your "British Patient"?"

"I won nine nominations." The fat man must have lost his eyes.

"It seems that I should have said congratulations to you." Ryan vaguely remembered that "The Patient in the UK" was the big winner of this year's Oscars.

"Okay. I'll have a celebration party tomorrow night, and invite you...well, is it OK to attend with Nicole?"

"certainly."

As soon as Ryan hung up the phone, the door was pushed open from outside. Nicole's tall and slender figure walked over. From the joy on her face, she also received the news.

"Congratulations. Dear." Ryan stood up and spread his arms.

"Do you need me to congratulate you, Ryan?"

In any case, this was Nicole's first best actress nomination. She hugged her sweetheart hard and was about to part. When her lips warmed up, she had already been blocked. Her hands skillfully and flexibly got into the clothes.

"Don't do this, Ryan, I just changed my clothes."

"Dear, don't worry, I will put it on for you with my own hands."

"Ryan, this is Dior's latest casual pants..."

"Come on, Nicole, just dropped a few buttons."

"Your hand is not there! Oh my, Ryan, I won't let you go, I swear!"

"Oh, God, Nicole, you are the miracle of the Creator, don't be so stingy, okay..."

"Take your hand away quickly, Ryan, or I'm not polite!"

"No, Nicole, do you want to murder? Let go quickly and don't bite, otherwise I will give you a good look!"

"Then come on, who is afraid of whom!"

"Is that true, Miss Kidman, I swear, you can't go anywhere today."

…………

Walking skillfully in the party, Ryan kept greetings with the people who came to greet him. These social engagements and social interactions are just a little bit of a problem for him now.

Besides, with his identity and status in this circle, unless necessary, he no longer needs to deliberately make friends with anyone.

This is a beach villa in Malibu, and the celebration party is being held by Harvey Weinstein.

After the Academy of Film Arts and Sciences announced its Oscar nomination, the chaotic public relations activities instantly calmed down. If you do something on the surface at this time, you will really be seeking death by yourself.

Although it has not won the Little Golden Man, it is already a very commendable thing to win "The Patient in the UK" nomination for nine Oscars.

"Ralph, the college is too stingy." Ryan raised the glass to Ralph Fiennes.

"There will always be opportunities." Fiennes drank the red wine in his glass, "Congratulations, Ryan."

At the party tonight, Ryan has received a lot of such congratulations. No matter what, it is a gratifying thing to be nominated for the Oscar for Best Actor at the age of 17.

"Ryan, do you need me to introduce some beautiful ladies to you?"

Harvey Weinstein walked over from the crowd at the other side of the pool with a wine glass.

"Come on, Harvey."

It was like there was a detection radar. Nicole returned to Ryan in time and looked at the fat man with his head tilted, "Do you want Ryan to make the entertainment headlines tomorrow? Those people may have the purpose of getting close to Ryan."

"Hey, Nicole Ryan is seventeen years old." Harvey Weinstein spread his hands helplessly, "It's already the age to have a girlfriend. You can't let him stay single forever, right? Besides, those girls are still innocent."

Over the years, the two sides have not only cooperated closely, but also become old friends, so they naturally have fewer concerns when talking.

Nicole's right hand swung around Ryan's left hand. If possible, she really wanted to grab that hand and connect with him. Announced to the bored fat man opposite that I am his girlfriend!

However, now it is just a luxury.

"Okay, Harvey." Ryan shook his head, took Nicole's empty cup and stuffed it to the waiter passing by, "It's better to let things go."

Seeing Harvey Weinstein leave, Ryan knew very well that this fat man's words were just a habitual joke. Of course, if he could use this method to exchange for more benefits from him, the other party would probably be happy to see it.

"Why? Are you moved?"

Nicole looked along Ryan's gaze and saw not Harvey Weinstein, but a few sexy and tall beautiful women by the pool.

"What?" Ryan couldn't help scratching his head.

"They are models of a certain underwear brand. It seems that you are very interested. Ryan?" Nicole's words mean nothing, "I still know a few of them. Do I need me to introduce them to you?"

"Ah... forget it. I'm not interested." Ryan keenly captured another figure and reminded, "Mirke Eisner is here."

Walt Disney is Miramax's largest shareholder. Despite the many conflicts between the two parties, the apparent relationship must be maintained.

"Ryan, I haven't seen you for a few years. You've grown up." Michael Eisner raised his glass.

"Hello, Mike." Ryan took a glass of juice from the waiter's tray and raised it, "It's only been more than two years."

The two met several feet apart, which instantly attracted the attention of many people at the party. Who doesn't know that after Michael Eisner took control of Disney, the biggest decision-making mistake came from Ryan Jenkins.

"I heard that Pixar is producing two animated feature films at the same time and will soon fulfill its distribution contract with Paramount." Michael Eisner's words were faintly strong, "Ryan, Pixar can continue to work with Disney."

"Paramon's release commission is 10%, what is Disney?" Ryan had no intention of giving in.

Disney is indeed a behemoth, but it does not belong to Michael Eisner. He is at best a housekeeper. Perhaps Ryan would have been afraid of Michael Eisner two years ago, but now...

The other party insisted on acc TV in 1995. The huge debt and complex relationship put a heavy burden on Disney, so there was no way to take care of the rest of the world.

Michael Eisner also knew this and knew that the other party had formed a solid interest alliance with Warner, Paramount and Twentieth Century Fox. Even if he really wanted to do something, he could only follow the rules of the game.

There is no problem with some methods to deal with ordinary people or ordinary Hollywood stars, but when you attack a rich man with a net worth of more than one billion or even more than two billion, you have to consider the consequences.

Of course, since the other party dares to show his own advice, he must try his best to return it. There will always be opportunities. One person cannot succeed forever. By then, Tom Cruise is the portrayal of Ryan Jenkins!

In the eyes of many people, Ryan just said a few words with Michael Eisner. He had already made the other party's side, and there was no need to tear the last face.

After leaving the party, Ryan and Nicole drove out of Malibu and soon entered the range of North Hollywood. When passing through the Bank of America Los Angeles branch on Laurel Valley Avenue, they found that the brilliantly lit silver-white rectangular building looked very familiar, and it seemed that they had seen it in a movie in their previous life.

"What's wrong, my dear?" asked Nicole, who was sitting beside him.

"It's nothing, I always feel that the construction of Bank of America looks familiar."

"Don't forget, Ryan, we've walked here before."

Hearing Nicole's words, Ryan felt that this seemed to be the reason, and gave up and continued to think about it. (To be continued...)
