Rebirth In Hollywood

The attention of the North American media quickly shifted away from the Harry Potter series, because the most intensely contested awards season kicked off. There are more topics to report and hype, and it is easier to attract the public's interest in a short period of time. focus on.

Although Harvey Weinstein left North America a long time ago and went to Australia to oversee the filming of the final drama of "The Matrix", Ryan's team has also gained a lot of public relations experience in the past few years, from "The Rest of a Deserted Island" in North America After the release, they became active among many judges and the media.

Compared with the same period last year, the public relations efforts of Ryan and Jenkins Films have dropped significantly. Even the KK agency, after receiving Ryan's support, has focused on Charlize Theron's Golden Globe Awards and the final Best Actress nomination above.

As for Ryan himself, just keep the nomination guaranteed.

As usual, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced the nomination list for the 71st Oscar more than a month in advance.

Although "The Rest of a Deserted Island" only got three nominations for Best Actor, Best Director and Best Picture, it was the three most important nominations, which was enough to make Ryan feel satisfied.

Like previous Oscars, there are many nominations related to Ryan. The theme song of "Prince of Egypt" was nominated for best original song, "Peerless Hero" was nominated for best visual effects and so on.

The biggest winners of the nominations are the other three films.

"Saving Private Ryan" became the biggest winner of the nominations, and won eleven nominations including Best Director, Best Actor, and Best Picture. The only pity is that the Best Supporting Actor submitted by DreamWorks for Ryan did not win. nominate.

This is also normal, since Ryan has been nominated for Best Actor for three consecutive years, no one can say anything if he takes away a Best Supporting Actor nomination.

Robert Bernini's "Life Is Beautiful," directed and acted by himself, was another winner. The Italian film received a total of seven nominations.

Perhaps because the Weinstein brothers left Miramax early to form a relationship with Weinstein Films, "Shakespeare in Love" received nine nominations, including best director, best picture and best actress. Much less than the previous life.

And because of Ryan. "As Good as It Gets", which was delayed for a year, also received three nominations for Best Supporting Actor, Best Actor and Best Actress.

The public relations of kk brokerage company. Coupled with Charlize? Theron's performance in the movie is considered quite good, South African diamond won the first Oscar nomination in life.

Ryan is very interested,

Is the first murder in the history of Oscar will not be staged.

And Gwyneth Paltrow, with the relationship that Paltrow Sr. and others have built up over the years. If the public relations are good--Spielberg even said hello to Ryan--it is possible for her to win the best actress, but the hat of the queen of water may not be able to escape.

Leonardo DiCaprio, who also starred in "Shakespeare in Love", was extremely disappointed that he was not nominated for Best Actor. He also made a special phone call and vented his refusal to participate in the Oscars ceremony.

Ryan persuaded him a few words, and Leonardo also dismissed the idea, otherwise it would be fine if he didn't attend the awards ceremony. If he uttered such a weird reason like in his previous life, he would have to offend the old man of the academy, and then go down the old road of being nominated but unable to win an award.

Anyway, Ryan's goal is not on this year's Oscars, he just paid a little attention to the list of nominations. He shifted his goals, and dieting, fitness, and practicing swordsmanship occupied most of his time, and occasionally he would pay attention to the progress of the next casting.

The efficiency of the production team was extremely fast. The audition advertisement was only released in the New Year of 1999, and they started the first round of super-large-scale auditions in late January.

It's no wonder the crew, there are too many applicants. If it continues, it is likely that there will be more than 100,000 people in the end. Auditions for 100,000 minors are held, which is estimated to break the Guinness World Record.

The crew reached an agreement with Studio Nine in the UK, and their largest studio outside of London will become the location for the crew to build studios and hold auditions.

Although I don't know how those young actors were selected in the previous life, but in this life he has become the leader of this project. Ryan still has a little interest in the audition, so he picked one of the days and came to the set.

A large area of ​​open space was cleared out on the set, and it will soon become the setting construction site for Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Witchcraft, and now it is filled with benches, on which sit a crowd of young actors waiting for auditions and their parents.

Among them, some people came to join in the fun because of their interest, but more people definitely wanted to become famous. As long as they were not fools and idiots, they could think that starring in this series of movies would definitely be a matter of fame and fortune.

As for the movie failing? It never occurred to them that this was the work of Ryan Jenkins!

"Hey Chris, what a coincidence."

Ryan looked at the crowd waiting for the audition from a distance, and was about to go to a few audition rooms, and happened to meet Chris Columbus in the corridor.

"It's not a coincidence, but I heard that you are here, and you came here specially." Chris Columbus's face was obviously tired, "How many times have you, the investor and the original author, been to the crew?"

"Chris, you know, I'm getting ready for a new movie, and I have other work to attend to..." Ryan made a gesture you knew.

Chris Columbus understood that the child star of the year had already completed his transformation, and was no longer a pure actor and playwright.

"Can you make way?" Behind Ryan, a clear girl's voice came, "The corridor is very narrow, you all blocked the way."

Only then did Ryan realize that he, several bodyguards, and George had completely blocked the way to several audition rooms, so he couldn't help but turned sideways, trying to step aside.

"You...you are Ryan."

The little girl's voice was full of surprises, she obviously didn't expect to meet her idol here, "Ryan, do you audition for us yourself?"

"Sorry, Ryan." The middle-aged woman next to her gently pulled the little girl, "She's a little too excited."

"It doesn't matter."

Eyes drifted over the little girl, a girl about Taylor's age, with fine brown curly hair, and a few faint freckles on the fair face on both sides of the nose.

"Damn it, I forgot to bring my autograph book." The girl was complaining.

It seems to be a little younger than the impression, but there should be nothing wrong with the appearance, after all, whether it is a movie or an image of myself, I have seen it too many times. Ryan couldn't help pinching his chin, and looked at the little girl carefully.

"R... Ryan..."

This little girl's reaction is extremely sensitive, it seems that it can be compared with Taylor.

"Little lady, may I know your name?" Ryan asked directly.

"Me?" The little girl couldn't help being a little surprised at this age after all.

But her mother was very shrewd, as if she realized something, she gently pulled her aside, and the little girl immediately laughed, "My name is Emma, ​​Emma Watson. Hello, Ryan."

Saying that, stretched out his small hand, Ryan shook it gently, and said very directly, "Hello, Emma, ​​you give me a very good feeling, come on, I am very optimistic about you."

"Really?" The little girl was almost jumping for joy, but bit a finger, "Ru...Ruen, do you know the role I'm going to audition for?"

"Isn't it Miss Know-It-All?" Ryan frowned deliberately, "If not, it would be too disappointing."

"Of course not... Ah, no, that's not right either." The little girl was anxious, as if she didn't know what to say, and she gradually calmed down after a while, "I like Hermione Granger the most."

"Then work hard, Miss Emma." Ryan finally encouraged, "I hope to see your name in the final list."

Whose name appears in the final list is not up to you. When the little girl left, it was inevitable that she would slander her.

After the girl and her mother walked into the audition room, Chris Columbus, who was watching the show, said, "Ryan, do you think this girl is suitable for Hermione?"

"Her temperament and appearance are very similar to my original conception."

That's for sure. When this series was first copied out, whenever the name Hermione Granger was written, the image of this girl and her grown-up must have appeared in Ryan's mind.

And in her previous life, she was the most popular actor in the Harry Potter series, not one of them, and she was one of the few actors who did not have a permanent disability.

The experience of her previous life has proved that the Miss Know-It-All she played has a strong market appeal. Now that she has met, Ryan will of course consider her first. This trait basically becomes disabled after getting older. What if the newly selected actor becomes disabled after a few years?

That would definitely take a toll on the movie.

There are very, very successful experiences here, but you still have to choose to take risks, that is not brave, but stupid.

"Well, I will pay special attention to her in the following auditions." The little girl obviously also left a good impression on Chris Columbus.

Ryan nodded. With him and Chris Columbus, as long as Emma Watson's performance in the audition is not catastrophic, there must be no problem in passing the first few rounds.

As for the other young actors, it depends on their luck.

After going around a few audition rooms, Ryan asked Chris Columbus to pay more attention to the audition situation. Like this kind of audition, insiders and related parties will always be indispensable, and Ryan doesn't care. Almost all Hollywood auditions It's like this, it's so normal.

What Ryan is worried about is that this is an audition for underage actors, and he doesn't want to see some shocking scandals appear in his company's crew. ()
