Chapter 370 After Oscar
"I feel guilty about other nominees. If I don't know how to love, I will not be able to play this role well. For this, I want to thank my family. I also want to thank my father and godfather, who are all respectable people."
This is part of the award speech after Gwyneth Paltrow won the Best Actress, but the next day, the media interpreted countless meanings from it.
Her best actress can be said to be the most unconvincing one in the 1990s and even in the last twenty years. After the award ceremony, the media will definitely speak out for Meryl Streep.
"Just as the award speech said, Miss Gwyneth should really thank Mr. Paltrow and Director Spielberg. Without these two, there would never be her actress bestie Little Golden Man."
This is a relatively polite statement, and the critics who are sharp-tongued are even more aggressive.
"I don't know when acting and roles in movies are no longer the criteria for measuring the Oscars' performance award. Rather than saying that Gwyneth Paltrow won the award for "Shakespeare in Love", it is better to say that this is a PR victory. Everyone knows that she was from a prominent family in Hollywood. Her godfather is Spielberg, her best friend is Drew Barrymore, and her friendship with Ryan Jenkins as a girl has become her guarantee of her award. I can say responsibly that the best actress with the lowest value in Oscar history was born."
After each award ceremony, the School of Film Arts and Sciences is always bombarded by the media, and this time they faced the most controversial one in recent years. In addition to Gwyneth Paltrow's Best Actress, Ryan failed to win the Best Actor and also triggered large-scale protests in North America.
The main force of the protest came from Ryan's fans who could only be described as a huge number. According to data released by AcNelson, when Peter Fonda stepped onto the stage to award the Best Actor, the Oscar reached the highest rating of 59.75 million, and when he pronounced Jack Nicholson's name, the number of viewers plummeted to 38.66 million. Although the final ratings recovered to more than 40 million, the dissatisfaction caused by this result can be imagined.
Before the award ceremony ended, countless visitors flocked to the official website of Oscar. They all left messages on the message board, believing that the judges were obviously age-discriminatory when treating Ryan, and called on everyone to boycott the Oscars. With the end of the award ceremony, this situation became more and more intense, which directly led to the paralysis of the official website of Oscars.
It is said that after a period of busyness, the Oscar official website had just recovered, and countless people were crowded in, causing paralysis again. In the end, the academy had to close the message board section of the Oscar official website, and it has never been opened since then.
Naturally, the media will not miss this opportunity to hype the topics, and have also made targeted comments.
"So far, Oscars have been around for seventy years. Although its reputation is growing, the inevitable aging is well known to everyone. Most of the judges are older. Naturally, they are friendly to the same old actors, so if you want to win the Oscar, you have to be qualified. Although Ryan Jenkins, who is less than 20 years old, has been in Hollywood since 1990, the judges obviously think he is too young and can wait for a few more years."
"Even the shocking performance of "The Rest of the Desert Island" cannot bring him the best actor Little Golden Man. We can't understand what the academy's judgment criteria are? Since they dare to take the pressure and award the best actress to the same young Gwyneth Paltrow. Why do they disdain Ryan?"
The remarks in the media have further stimulated the already dissatisfied fans, and they can even be seen rallying and protesting on the Avenue of Stars.
A girl fan organization from New York's Upper East Side announced on their official website that if Ryan is sad and disappointed by losing the Best Actor, they can use all means to warm his injured heart and body. When they inherit their property, they will definitely buy the Oscars. Ryan will have any awards to him...
More radical fans said on the Internet that they would mail bullets to the chairman of the college Robert Lyme.
To this end, the spokesperson of the Film Academy specially accepted an interview with reporters, saying, "From Ryan's performance in "The Rest of the Desert Island", his acting skills still have huge room for improvement. At his age, as long as he does not voluntarily withdraw, he still has a long acting career. If he is given the best actor Xiao Jinren now, what should he use to reward him when he has a better role in the future? You can't give him a lifetime achievement award at the age of less than 30?"
He has had countless dealings with the academy in the past and is a member closer to the core circle. Ryan naturally understands that the pressure should be stopped at the right time. After the academy's statement came out, he immediately updated his personal website.
The general meaning is, ‘Thank you for your support and concern. The college did not award the award to itself. It must have their consideration. I am still young and can wait and work harder in the future.’
Ryan's own attitude greatly alleviated the pressure on the college. The current chairman Robert Lyme also called specially. Although he was basically cliché, it can be seen from it that the old men at the core of the college still have a good impression of Ryan.
This can be seen from his mentor at the University of Southern California Film Academy, where Professor Grett is one of the core members of the college.
"Ryan, the "Rest of the Desert Island" you worked with Robert did indeed come as we all expected. Don't worry, you should have a longer-term pursuit."
Professor Gret looked at the young man sitting opposite the desk and knew that he could not be taught by teaching ordinary students. "I know that your goal is a producer who controls the overall situation. You have rich practical experience in this regard. I don't think the college can teach you much. If you want, apply for graduation this summer."
"Then..." Ryan scratched his head, his credit seemed to be insufficient, "Professor..."
"Don't look at me with such innocent eyes." Professor Gret waved his hand. "The college teaches practical talents, not theorists. What's the use of no high credits without production experience? I will say hello to the school in advance, and say, don't you know what you did in private?"
"All right."
After Professor Gret waved his hand again, Ryan quickly left the office.
What did you do in private? It was just that after receiving his personal dividend of "The Rest of the Desert Island", he and Robert Zemikis jointly donated 10 million US dollars to the Southern University Film Academy.
It can be said that well-known alumni will repay their alma mater after their career success, which can be said to be a practice in North America.
After the Oscars, the media's noisy voice lasted for only a few days. After all, it is the center of the entertainment industry around the world. There are countless news every day. Fresh gossip and scandals are sometimes more likely to attract people's eyes.
At the end of March, Lucasfilm released the trailer for "Star Wars Prequel: The Ghost Threat". Although the film will not be released in North America until May, it is the Star Wars series, which almost instantly stole everyone's attention.
In the early advertising campaign of the movie, it revealed to the audience that this will be a complete trilogy series, which tells the story of Luke Skywalker's father Anakin, Skywalker and mother Padme Amidala. The trailer Anakin, Skywalker, is still a little brat. The media and the public naturally focus their attention on Padme Amidala.
Of course they won't let the actors who play Padme Amidala.
Although there have not been particularly outstanding films and characters in recent years, the name Natalie Portman is too familiar to the media. She is Matilda, the acting genius of that year, and most importantly, she is Ryan Jenkins' best friend.
Many media even doubted whether they were dating privately but could not get any evidence.
Long Island Middle School has become a key area for journalists to guard. Natalie is unimaginable. She quickly called Ryan, who had just arrived in Warsaw.
"I'm reviewing my homework. Now is the most stressful time for my studies. Those guys are chattering around me. If I can't pass the Haval exam, I will definitely kill them all!"
"Dear Nat, just think they are the air." Faced with the girl who was getting angry, Ryan could only answer this way.
"I can't study with peace of mind, you know, Ryan, I'm preparing for the sat test, and I want to win the National Scholar Award."
"Then like this, I'll let you increase the number of bodyguards around you..."
"don't want."
Before Ryan could finish speaking, Natalie on the phone interrupted, "I'm just a middle school student now..."
"It's better to do this."
It seems that the slightly cold air in Warsaw brought Ryan to inspire, "You find George and let him put more news about the movies out to divert the reporter's attention."
"New news." Ryan's words seemed to have made Natalie think of a good idea. "Ryan, I'll go and discuss with Director Lucas. And, well... If a reporter surrounds you in Warsaw, don't blame me."
Listening to the beeping sound on the phone, Ryan was very surprised. What was Natalie going to do?
This doubt did not last long. Pie? Jinsley called soon, and even to reduce the troubles on Natalie, Ryan would nod and agree.
Later when Ryan nodded, Lucasfilm released another explosive news in the Star Wars Prequel series, making this unreleased film completely the most concerned focus in the entertainment industry and even North America. (To be continued...)
