Chapter 418 The best movie of the 1990s
“Difficulty exists in every corner of our lives, but we never fear difficulties.”
Ryan was dressed in Aragon, sitting in the rest of the studio, looking at the extremely thin boy beside him, as if he had seen himself ten years ago, "Brave New Zealander, can I know your name?"
"John Ttrue." The boy's face showed an unhealthy pale.
Is he Peter Jackson specially invited to watch the crew filming. This New Zealand boy is also a fan of the Lord of the Rings. Unfortunately, he is already in the late stage of cancer. After reading related reports from the newspaper, the fat director contacted the medical institution and took him here to help him fulfill his biggest wish in his last days.
"John, you must have read the Lord of the Rings?"
After the other party nodded, Ryan continued, "Frodo Baggins' sky was always shrouded in darkness, but he did not give up and finally fulfilled his mission."
"I will be strong, too." The boy looked at Ryan hopefully, "Can we take a photo?"
"Of course." Ryan agreed without hesitation, and then found the crew's photographer, "Fanny, give us some photos."
The boy grabbed the long sword around his waist and let the flash light light light up.
"etc."
After the young mother came, Ryan called them and ran to the prop group to ask for a prop short knife. "John, this is the elf short knife that Aragon wore with him. I hope he can bring you courage."
"Thank you, Ryan." The young man hugged him lightly and walked out of the studio with his mother.
The other party's weak body cannot support it for too long and he has to go back and rest.
Sitting back on his chair, Ryan was touched by John Ttruh's appearance when he was thin when he was a child. He felt more and more hard, and thought quietly for a while and called an assistant nearby.
"Rosie, check John's medical institution, and I will pay for his future medical expenses. Also, donate one million US dollars to relevant cancer research organizations in New Zealand."
Facing the greeting of death, he didn't have much to do.
Ryan's remaining scenes are mostly scattered. Today he is fighting the orcs at the city of Minastyris, and tomorrow he will appear in front of the setting of the Fargon Forest. He is tested by a white-robed wizard and occasionally rides a horse in the wild on Brigo.
From the third day of his arrival, the crew entered Aragon again, giving priority to shooting scenes related to King Ilisa. Ryan could not stay here for a long time, in faraway London. There were two crews waiting for him.
A few days after Ryan arrived at the crew station, the School of Film Arts and Sciences announced the nomination list for the 72nd Academy Awards.
No surprises, the nomination for the best actor that he cares most appeared on this list.
"Pianist" won four nominations in total: Best Director, Best Picture, Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Actor. Although not many, three of them were nominated for heavyweights.
The one related to Ryan and Jenkins Films is "The Matrix", which won the nomination for four technical awards: Best Sound Effect, Best Editing, Best Sound Effect Editing and Best Visual Effects.
Even if the reputation is extremely good, science fiction films still cannot escape the fate of being discriminated against by Oscars.
In addition, the nomination for the best actor of "Pianist", is Ryan's fourth consecutive nomination since "Cat and Mouse Game", "Titanic" and "The Rest of the Desert Island". Others are in New Zealand and the comments from mainstream media in North America are unknown, but the film school will probably face a lot of pressure.
Shortly after receiving the nomination list, Ryan received a call from Pigkinsley.
"Ryan, do you need Harvey and I to do all our efforts in public relations?" In fact, it is too late to make efforts now. But it is always more certain than not.
"No, Pat, just follow the normal pace."
Ryan doesn't think that those older judges will vote for themselves, especially this year's strong competitor Kevin Spacey!
"American Beauty" is a mainstream movie that can't be more mainstream. It will probably receive the support of most judges, and Kevin Spacey, in terms of actor status, has an absolute advantage in terms of age and qualifications.
Of course, if the academy had cramps and gave him the little golden man, Ryan wouldn't mind, although this might not be particularly big.
Just after hanging up the phone and walked out of the trailer, Elia Wood, Orlando Bloom, and active crew members of the crew who liked to hang out with young people came over, and it seemed that they were coming to find him specifically, depending on the situation.
"Wow, Ryan, you should treat me to the fourth consecutive Best Actor nomination!" With a distance between Elijah Wood began to scream.
"Ian has been acting for so many years and has only been nominated for Oscars in total?" Orlando Bloom walked over quickly. "Peter has no plans to shoot at night, so why don't we go to the bar in Queenstown?"
"This...is not suitable." Ryan squeezed his eyes at the British boy. He immediately understood that Ian McLean only went to a fixed bar, which was not suitable for them. "Then let's find a clearing and hold a small celebration dinner."
"Let's do it, call Peter, and there are a few others. Let's hold a barbecue party in the open space outside the station."
Ryan's proposal was immediately approved by everyone. George immediately called and asked someone to prepare. When several people were about to go back to change their clothes, Ryan said again, "Don't forget to call John Ttruh."
"Don't worry, Ryan, leave it to us."
Whether for sympathy or other reasons, John Ttrueu, who was seriously ill, was unanimously recognized by the crew and became the most popular target.
After the sun set, the headlights outside the crew station shone a large open space as bright as daylight. Several huge barbecue grills stood in the most conspicuous place. The barbecue employed by Queenstown made fresh barbecue with a strong and fresh-Zeland flavor and delivered it to several tables where everyone sat like running water.
"Sam Mendes, he won the Best Director nomination for the first time he took charge of the film director."
After drinking a glass of beer, Peter Jackson shook his head, and anyone could hear the envy in his tone.
"Hey, Peter, he's just lucky." The veteran Ian McLean patted the fat man on the shoulder, "I can't say how many nominations you can get with the trilogy."
Ryan nodded in agreement and put down the food in his hand, "Peter, I dare bet you that when our carefully crafted trilogy succeeds one by one, Oscar will bow to a non-realistic film for the first time."
"That was you who bewitched James Cameron back then?" Peter Jackson obviously lacked confidence.
"Then what if we make a bet?" Ryan raised an eyebrow at him.
"What are you betting on?"
"If the Lord of the Rings series can get you the best director, what if you sell your shares in Vita Studio to me?" Ryan was of course joking. How many adults with normal IQ would be bet on this kind of thing?
Peter Jackson knew this and joked, "If you lose, give me Pixar Studio for free?"
Everyone laughed at the same time, and then someone shouted "cheering" and immediately raised their cups.
"Ryan, do you think director Polansky can win the best director?"
Orlando Bloom looked gossipy. Everyone knew Polansky's situation. If he could win the best director, it would definitely be interesting.
Of course, it would be even more exciting if he could come to Los Angeles to receive the award in person.
"It's hard to say." Ryan shrugged.
In fact, he just signed up for the other party, but didn't spend much effort on public relations. If Polansky had not taken action himself, this little golden man would definitely not belong to him.
"Who is the popular choice in your mind?" Peter Jackson was the one who asked.
"I personally like Sam Mendes." Ryan vaguely remembered the director, because of "American Beauty", and because of him and Kate Winslet.
It seems that his future works are worse than those of another one. I don’t know if it is a problem with his personal level or a tragedy caused by a high starting point.
"But many media say that "Pianist" is the best movie of the year," said Elijah Wood in confusion.
"Dear Mr. Frodo Baggins." Ryan looked very serious, "Don't forget that many media said that "American Beauty" is the best movie since the 1990s."
"If you want to say that media and film critics, just take a look."
Ian McLean, who has experienced experience, waved his hand, as if he was driving away flies, "Don't take it seriously."
Sean Austin, who was taking care of his daughter, looked up and watched it directly, "Ryan, which movie do you think is the best movie in the 90s?"
"Me?" Ryan pointed to himself, then smiled, and said in a mysterious manner, "You can guess."
“The Shawshank Redemption?”
"Forrest Gump?"
"The Sixth Sense?"
"The Rest of the Desert Island"?"
"Can it be "Home Imposses", right?" Elijah Wood's unreliable answer attracted a lot of condemnation.
"Okay, Ryan, you agreed."
Ryan smiled and was about to give the answer, but suddenly a crisp sound came from the direction of the gate of the station behind him, "Of course it's "Titanic"!"
"Why?" someone asked.
"Because "Titanic" has triggered a movie viewing trend that has never been seen in the world, and it is also the movie with the widest audience and the most popular audience." The explanation of that voice seemed to make sense, but the next word added made everyone on the spot. "The more important reason is that "Titanic" has the highest box office and earns the most money. It seems that someone has become a billionaire based on the profits of this movie and the surrounding areas."
