The rotating chair of the School of Film Arts and Sciences does sound very big, but in fact it is incomparable to entertainment giants like Ryan. Their influence is more within the academy, especially among the old core judges.

Perhaps Frank Pearson is not very powerful, but has strong qualifications.

Compared to young people like Ryan who have become famous quickly, Frank Pearson, who is already in his seventies, is more likely to influence the conservative judges.

It’s not without reason that Ryanken sells him a favor, as long as he can influence the choices of some of them.

There is nothing to say about the situation of favors in straightforward Western communication.

"Frank, I remember Jenkins Pictures should have sent you a copy of "Black Swan"."

“Yes, I received it.”

Frank Pearson is not a fool, but he didn't expect the favor to be so fast. "I've seen most of the clips. To be honest, Miss Portman's directing technique has made great progress compared to "127 Hours", and the performance is the highest level of the film I've ever seen her appear in."

"Ryan, don't you think..." Frank Pearson showed the old-fashioned side of the academy, "Is Miss Natalie Portman still too young?"

"I wonder if you have noticed a phenomenon, Frank." Ryan did not directly reject his words, and gave Natalie a wink at this side. After she and Gale Gado turned around, he said, "The top female movie stars in Hollywood have already been out of stock."

"oh?"

"Julia Roberts almost retired after marriage, and romantic comedy films have also declined." Ryan was not afraid of anything. "Nicole Kidman basically turned behind the scenes. After them, Hollywood has no female stars who can compare their acting skills and box office appeal. We need a new generation of female stars, a person whose own charm can conquer the world and attract more talents to join Hollywood."

Pearson frowned a pair of gray eyebrows, obviously considering what Ryan said.

He nodded to the person who greeted him at the other table. Ryan was not in a hurry to continue speaking. The things he said were the current situation in Hollywood. After the major actresses born in the 1960s, there were no real figures in the 1970s who could take the lead. Even the most prominent Charlize Theron was far from being with Nicole and Julia Robertsby.

What's more, who doesn't know now in Hollywood? South African Diamonds are more interested in doing business than making movies.

The college is a college in Hollywood, and it is necessary to safeguard Hollywood's interests and ensure Hollywood's leading position in the world.

After looking at Pearson Ryan, he said slowly, "Not every actress with excellent acting skills has a bachelor's degree from Harvard."

This sentence is obviously a reminder that there is another circle in North America called alumni!

Like Natalie, Frank Pearson is also one of the few Harvard alumni in Hollywood.

After John sent Frank Pearson and his group away, Ryan picked up the juice in front of him and took a sip. The other party did not say anything clearly or guaranteed anything. But the meaning revealed was enough.

I believe that without touching the bottom line, in next year's Oscar vote, there will be more conservative choices for Natalie.

The card of the alumni has been played by Ryan, and it is relatively easier for the card of ethnicity.

Ryan was not too worried about Oscar's public relations, but even though he had done a lot of work, he still didn't have much confidence.

This place is Europe, not North America after all.

Otherwise, Disney will not hold parties frequently in the past week.

Although members of the jury cannot attend, everyone has a social circle and there are always people who can influence them.

For example, Ryan specially invited Zhang Weiping from the new scene. They had a lot of business dealings with Disney Far East branch, which were obvious exchanges of interests, and there was always a way to influence the Olympic director.

If you do not use enough PR and use the strength of Chinese-language films in the Venice Film Festival in recent years, even if Ang Lee praises Natalie to heaven, the final golden lion will probably fall on the head of "Lust and Caution".

As for Best Actress, she has been in love with Cate Blanchett for more than ten years. She can’t take away the awards she can basically win...

"What do you think?"

One hand swayed in front of his eyes, but Natalie walked back, "It looked very stunning."

"Another business was negotiated."

Seeing Natalie being slightly surprised, Ryan made a gesture to her to sit down, "It's nothing, Frank Pearson wants to help his friend find a job with high income and high exposure."

"Todd McCarthy?" Natalie sat down and put down her glass, "Did you agree?"

"Yeah~"

Ryan nodded, "He is not David Denby and Roger Albert, and he has basically never attacked us unscrupulously."

If Frank Pearson had replaced them with the person in his mouth, Ryan would not have paid any attention to it. The situation of these two people was not very good.

However, most of these people are rich and have basically been fed by Hollywood in the early years. If they retire with peace of mind, they will have a wonderful old age.

In fact, this large-scale termination incident has basically nothing to do with Ryan and Disney. It is just a spontaneous commercial behavior of the media, just like the artificial loom that year was replaced by a steam loom.

With some time left before the end of the film festival, the professional team will naturally be responsible for the public relations. Ryan simply accepted the invitation of Russian rich man Roman Abramovich to go to Manchester in the Kingdom of Great Britain to watch the almost forgotten Manchester United vs. Chelsea match.

As the boss of the team, Ryan can be said to be extremely careless, but this time he came to Old Trafford Stadium, he prepared a gift for the team's players and all members of the coaching staff - a commemorative watch customized by Patek Philippe as early as the first half of the year - to commend the team for winning the Premier League championship last season.

As for bonuses and other things, he is not the kind of tycoon who brings a safe into the locker room to sprinkle gold. This is a commercial football club, and everything is handled according to the contract.

“I did a good job last season.”

After handing out the customized watch, Ryan deliberately stopped in front of Cristiano Ronaldo's locker and gently patted his arm, "I think you will become the number one football player in the world."

"Thanks."

The Portuguese seemed to have seen an idol, "Can you... take a photo?"

"no problem."

After saying this, Ryan regretted it. All the players rushed up, and even several assistant coaches from the coaching staff were crowded.

"Can't the coach chase stars?"

Faced with the complaints from some players, the assistant coach, who is also Portugal, was very upset.

Of course, it lasted only ten minutes from posting to group photos. As a fan of his previous life, Ryan knew the sacredness of the locker room to the team, especially this was still a British team.

After leaving the locker room, he saw Alex Ferguson standing at the door, shook hands with the old man, and without saying anything, he walked directly to the VIP passage.

Ryan doesn't mind that this old Scotland man is the boss of the team. As long as the other party retires, he doesn't point fingers at the candidates.

It is said that he is considering retirement at the end of this season. Should he consider Manchester United's opponent's head coach today? If you remember correctly, the bird will be over this season.

And Cristiano Ronaldo, if he follows the trajectory of his previous life, he will soon become the target of Real Madrid, and may even have become the target.

By the way, I am not Glazer in my previous life. Manchester United club has no debts and is not short of money...

Last year, Manchester United's total revenue reached 125.78 million pounds, making it the world's highest-paid club, with 16 million pounds more than the second-ranked Real Madrid.

Ryan did not take a penny to all of this money, and devoted himself to the club's recruitment and infrastructure construction, especially the expansion of the Carrington base, making it the largest, most advanced and most luxurious training camp in Europe. Even when training at the beginning of the season, many players were lost in the huge training base, and the club had to temporarily send nearly ten staff members to give directions.

Today, several financial institutions outside the world value Manchester United clubs close to £2 billion.

"You did a good business at the beginning."

This is what Abramovich said after seeing Ryan, but Ryan shook his head and said directly, "The Abu Dhabi consortium was scared away by my £3 billion offer."

This incident has long been hyped by the British media. Fleet Street believes that Ryan offered this outrageous price just to scare away the Arabs, but he didn't know that if the other party was really willing to be the sucker, he would definitely be happy to promote the deal.

Most of the topics of the two revolve around football, and occasionally talk about politics and economy. After several years of hard work, Abramovich was not completely excluded by the Western upper class as he was at the beginning. Some of his subordinate companies also cooperate with Disney's TV stations and the Internet and other media.

This is a world where Western culture and values ​​are rampant. Even if the rich are like Roman Abramovich, it is not easy to truly enter the upper class of Western society.

Compared to Ryan's expectations, the game itself was much more dull. Just halfway through the first half, a Chelsea player was sent off by a red card, which directly led to an imbalance in the scene. He was soon pressed by Manchester United in the backcourt and beaten up with almost no ability to counterattack. He conceded two consecutive goals before the end of the first half.

Abramovich's face was not very good. Ryan probably wouldn't have been flying for a few days.

The final score is 2 to 0. Chelsea's scene is far worse than the score. When Ryan returned to Venice to attend the final awards ceremony, news of the bird being dismissed from get out of class in the UK was also reported. (To be continued)
