Heads Up Hollywood

CIM Group built a new entertainment complex at the junction of Hollywood Boulevard and Highland Boulevard, near the Chinese Theatre, which opened on November 9 last year. And reached an agreement with Oscar, the next 20 years of Oscar awards ceremony, will be held here.

There is no doubt that this is a very cost-effective deal!

Because the Kodak Group, which produces film, bought the naming rights of this theater for 20 years at a cost of 74 million U.S. dollars!

From then on, here is the Kodak Theater!

Regarding this matter, Tang En also felt somewhat regretful. If it wasn't for his relationship with Kirk Douglas being too tense, he would also like to bid.

It is called imax theater, Netflix theater, or Rose theater, Pixar theater, all of which are very good.

Of course, the best is the Dolby Theater!

But it doesn't matter, the digital age has come, and the Kodak Group is clinging to the film industry and will not let go, so the world's giant groups will also quickly degenerate.

This is the power of technology!

When Kodak ran out of spare money to pay the naming fee, it would not be too late for Tang En to make a move at that time. At that time, Tang En's power will definitely be extremely inflated, even if Kirk Douglas obstructs it, it will not be effective.

On March 24, 2002, the 74th Academy Awards ceremony was held at the Kodak Theater.

On the left, Tang En held the lead actress of "A Beautiful Mind", Nicole Kidman, and on the right, the lead actress of "Juno", Natalie Portman, making an unusually high-profile appearance.

For last year's Oscars, Twain was very careful, for fear that the broadcaster ABC would deliberately discredit it.

Now I am not afraid, the broadcaster is still ABC, but Twain can make a big splash and be unscrupulous!

Michael Eisner must not dare to tamper with this aspect.

This year's Oscars were greatly affected by terrorist attacks. It can be seen that this year's security team has increased significantly compared to previous years, and the seats on the red carpet stand before the party will be restricted by appointment. Applicants will be randomly selected, and Subject to a background check.

In addition, there are several other highlights--Woody Allen will appear; the Oscar tribute montage; whether Natalie Portman will win the best actress...

At the beginning of the ceremony, Tang En sat in the middle of the crew of "A Beautiful Mind" and "Juno", with Nicole Kidman on the left smiling and smiling, and Natalie Portman on the right.

"A Beautiful Mind" was the most politically correct film of all, with 8 nominations; "Juno"... probably the most politically incorrect film of all, with Best Screenplay and Best Actress Two nominations.

In addition, the musical "Moulin Rouge" also received 7 nominations.

"Director Luhrmann originally wanted me to play the lead actress in "Moulin Rouge", but at that time I wanted to shoot "A Beautiful Mind", so I refused." Nicole Kidman whispered in Tang En's ear.

Baz Luhrmann is an Australian director. After failing to contact Nicole Kidman, he found Naomi Watts as the leading role. The latter also successfully won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress nomination.

The "Australian gang" is really united.

Tang En laughed and joked, "Why, do you regret it?"

Nicole Kidman shook her head, "What's the use of regretting? Besides, Naomi didn't get nominated, but "A Beautiful Mind"...is likely to give me an Oscar."

Tang En lowered his voice, "Trust me, Nicole, you will definitely win this year's Best Supporting Actress!"

"I'll give you a good word!"

Nicole Kidman chuckled.

The ceremony kicked off quickly, with first guest Tom Cruise taking the stage and bringing out legendary filmmaker Errol Morris, honoring the art of montage.

Then, there is Osio's first award - Best Supporting Actress!

The last Best Supporting Actor winner, Benicio Del Toro, took the stage, opened the envelope under the eyes of everyone, and read out the winning name: "Nicole Kidman, "A Beautiful Mind" .”

"Buzz!"

The audience stood up and applauded enthusiastically.

Nicole Kidman got up slowly, with slight tears in her eyes, she hugged Tang En tightly, and then hugged Natalie Portman, Russell Crowe and others one by one, deeply Taking a breath, he lifted the corner of the skirt slightly with his right hand, and walked up to the podium gracefully with a tall and straight figure.

...

After an incoherent presentation speech, Academy President Frank Pearson took the stage to deliver an opening address and welcome guests to the awards ceremony.

Nicole Kidman also came back from the backstage at this time, holding a heavy statuette in her hand, her face was rosy, and she was shaking with excitement.

"Twain, you are too great!"

At this time, she wished she could throw herself into Tang En's arms, and let him take whatever she wanted.

She is so happy.

This is the Oscars!

She is the first Australian actress to receive such an honor!

In recent years, the "Australian gang" has united as one and worked hard to expand its territory in Hollywood, and it has indeed achieved considerable results.

Mel Gibson won the Oscar for Best Director, and Geoffrey Rush won the Oscar for Best Actor, but among the actresses, there has been no outstanding performance.

Now, Nicole Kidman has finally made her breakthrough!

She represents all Australian actresses and proves that they too can have a place in Hollywood!

And this really shows that Nicole Kidman's position as the vice president of the "Australian Gang" Fellow Association is well deserved. She is the first Australian actress!

For various reasons, it is impossible for her not to be excited.

Tang En held her hand and noticed that her palm was covered with sweat. He smiled and said, "Relax, you are a big star, just an Oscar supporting actress."

Last year, Natalie won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for "The Girl Who Moved Soul"!

Nicole Kidman shook her head, unable to hide her excitement, "You don't understand, you don't understand the significance of the Oscars to our Australian actors, you are an American, and you don't understand the difficulties of us foreigners."

"America..."

Tang En was slightly in a daze.

"By the way, how did you know that I would definitely win this award?" Nicole Kidman was still not overly excited, and kept talking non-stop while grabbing Tang En.

Next came the Best Editing Award, "Unsinkable" successfully won the award, but this award was of little significance, Tang En laughed with her, "Me? It's very simple, Oscar has two philosophies: 1. Political correctness; Two, the art of balance. "A Beautiful Mind" is the greatest political correctness, but it is impossible for me to win the best director award. For balance, you have to win the award no matter what."

"Ah?" Nicole Kidman turned pale, and even the joy after winning the award was diluted a bit, "You can't win the award? This is too unfair. "A Beautiful Mind" is so good, you are the biggest hero !"

Tang En had figured it out a long time ago, and said calmly: "Let's not talk about Kirk Douglas' interference, even if it wasn't there, it would be very difficult for the Oscar to award me the Best Director Award. I am too young. Think about the incident a few years ago. Titanic, right? I didn’t get Best Director and Kate Winslet won Best Actress.”

"Is this the art of balance?"

"yes."

Nicole Kidman suddenly felt a little lost, "But I don't want to fulfill myself by sacrificing you."

Tang En ticked her palm, blinked quickly, and laughed in a low voice: "Don't take it to your heart if you like what I want."

Nicole Kidman gave him a coquettish look, then leaned over and whispered in her ear, "Australian actress, tell me whoever you fancy."

Tang En almost laughed, with a playful face, "Can it be done?"

Nicole Kidman looked serious, "What do you think?"

Tang En squeezed his eyes, "What about you?"

Nicole Kidman glared at him and snorted. After half a minute, he whispered, "If you want, just ask me out."

Tang En's face flashed with unconcealable pride.

Natalie pinched his thigh and snorted softly, "Looking at your expression, I know it's not a good thing!"

"hey-hey."

Tang En enjoyed the feeling of hugging left and right, and leaned over to tease Natalie again, "She was thanking me just now, and you won the award later, how do you want to thank me?"

Natalie gave him a white look, "Award winning? You really think about it!"

"If you don't even have a dream, how is it different from a salted fish?"

"What's the meaning?"

Tang En coughed, "I mean... If you really win an award, what reward do you plan to give me?"

Natalie bit her lip and looked at him, angrily said: "Your thoughts are really evil!"

"Huh? I didn't say anything?" Tang En looked aggrieved.

Natalie snorted: "You don't need to say it, I know it too."

Tang En asked with a smile: "Then tell me, what am I thinking?"

"You must want...you want me and Scarlett to accompany you...to fool around." Natalie's face was slightly heated.

Tang En's eyes widened in surprise, "Nate, you've figured out all my tricks!"

Natalie turned her nose up and said, "Your mind is full of women, what's the problem?"

"Hehe." Tang En didn't explain, "Then do you agree?"

"What?"

"What happened between us and Scarlett."

Natalie turned cold and snorted, "Dream!"

"I can help you win an Oscar."

"Then let's wait until we win the award!"

Natalie pouted slightly.

Tang En smiled slightly, very airy, and said in a low voice: "Well, even if I met a lot of beautiful women at the Vanity Fair party today, I promise to go home and live!"

This topic made Natalie feel very awkward. Of course, she was looking forward to the Oscar queen, but she was also extremely nervous, anxious and uneasy about the absurd things like Dunn and Scarlett.

Her family is very traditional and conservative. She filmed "The Girl Who Moved the Soul", and there was a scene of kissing Nicole Kidman. After returning home, she was severely criticized by her father, who thought it was a violation of faith, Blasphemed God.

If you have sex with Tang En and Scarlett...

Although she has never done this kind of thing, she has communicated with many women in the Banshan Manor, and knows what will happen when the three of them are together.

It is common for women to kiss women.

She doesn't reject Scarlett, but she has a grudge.

"Cirque du Soleil is here, watch the show, I really like it!"

Natalie pointed to the darkened stage and immediately changed the subject.

Next, the world's top theater company, Cirque du Soleil, performs a dance repertoire inspired by film and visual effects.

Tang En was full of pride, "You like it? It's simple, I'll buy it and give it to you!"

Tang En Pictures will be involved in the theater business sooner or later.

Just like Disney.

Not to mention Broadway musicals and Las Vegas fantasy dramas, such businesses are indispensable in amusement parks alone.
