On March 25, the 73rd Academy Awards ceremony officially kicked off. This will be the last time the awards ceremony will be held in the Holy Citizen Auditorium. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has confirmed that Kodak, which is still under construction, will begin next year. The theater will become a regular venue for the Academy Awards ceremony. Watermark Ad Test Watermark Ad Test (Pingnan Literature Network)

As early as a few days ago, this place attracted the attention of many reporters. Hundreds of young women who drove across the North American continent gathered in the preset stands in advance. They were beautifully dressed and wore various luxury brands. With a signed banner supporting Ryan, they take turns singing and dancing here every day, which has become a scenic spot before the awards ceremony.

These female fans from the Upper East Side of New York are enthusiastic and crazy. When interviewed by the media, in addition to supporting Ryan's remarks about winning the best actor, they also openly clamored to give Charlize Theron Embarrassed.

Perhaps it was these fanatical women, or perhaps the academy had already considered this aspect. The day before the award ceremony, the organizing committee raised the guardrail and increased the number of security personnel in front of the preset stands, making the atmosphere of the scene There was a hint of tension.

News soon spread. Just a few days ago, Russell Crowe, who was the guest of honor for his role as a negotiator in "Elements of Survival", attracted the dissatisfaction of a criminal group in South America. The other party claimed that Will kidnap him in the near future as revenge.

Although the Australian movie star came to the Holy Citizen Auditorium, there were several more agents of the FBI behind him. His face was always dark from the beginning to the end of the red carpet, and he barely squeezed out a smile until the interview area.

Ryan held Charlize by his side and walked behind Russell Crowe. Right in front of him were two burly men, if only from the appearance. These agents from China are more like professional boxers.

Because of her active weight gain, Charlize deliberately chose a white dress that would not stand out from her figure, and walked onto the Oscars red carpet for the first time with her arms around her. Naturally very happy.

"Let's pass the interview area quickly." Ryan waved to the stands. Edge said to Charlize, "I don't want to deal with those reporters."

"I don't want to deal with them either." Charlize immediately quickened her pace. "Didn't George wait in the interview area?"

Russell Crowe is now the focus of media attention. When Ryan walked into the interview area, reporters from the broadcaster blocked him, like cross-examination. Asking all kinds of questions, if it wasn't for the other side, I'm afraid they could all pounce on it.

The appearance of Ryan and Charlize shared a lot of firepower for him.

No matter the reporter asked "Are you confident to win the best actor\

,"Or "Is there any shareholder in Pixar who is planning to transfer the shares to Disney", or "Why did Miss Theron suddenly gain weight? Is she pregnant?" Both of Ryan remained silent, and walked into the auditorium under the protection of George and others who had been waiting for a long time.

"God, what are they thinking?" Ryan's arm tightened. Charlize complained under her breath, "They asked me if I was pregnant?"

"Just ignore them."

He patted her hand comfortingly, and a greeting came from behind, "Ryan, long time no see."

"Hi, Stephen."

Hearing some familiar voices, Ryan turned around, shook hands with the bald man who came over, and joked, "You are our biggest opponent tonight."

""Gladiator" and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" jointly won 22 nominations." Stephen Soderbergh looked very humble, "Ryan, your biggest opponent is yourself. I am optimistic that you will get the best award." Good leading actor."

The three of them walked forward together, Ryan put away his smiling face and whispered, "I'm also optimistic about you getting the best director."

Although "Eileen Brockovich" appeared ahead of schedule, Steven Soderbergh still won two nominations for best director with "Drug Network" and "War of Women". It should fall on his head.

Not only that, the heroine of the "Women's War" that Ryan has never seen is Julia Roberts, and she won the second best actress nomination in her life for her tenacious and persistent role.

In fact, Ryan's vote for Best Actress goes to Dazui Zhu, even though he hasn't even seen the trailer.

Well, he has inherited the best tradition of the Oscar judges and has become a member of voting with his feet.

The seats of the two sides were far apart, and they separated after entering the theater. Ryan looked at the shiny bald head. The other party and his movie were definitely the biggest opponents of "Gladiator".

Although filming has always had a strong personal style and was even criticized as being too experimental, Stephen Soderbergh seemed to have found a balance between art and commerce in "Drug Network", and the film was both well-received and well-received.

This year's Oscars, "Gladiator" and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" all have a direct relationship with Ryan, and the organizers have also arranged the seats of the two crews together in accordance with tradition. (Pingnan Literature Network)

Of course, this place has also become the most concentrated place of Chinese descent in the theater. In addition to the main creative personnel of the film, the people Ryan knows include Tan Dun and Yo-Yo Ma, as well as a certain female singer who speaks loudly when greeting her. .

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" won ten Oscar nominations, which will undoubtedly attract the attention of the North American Chinese community. The joint interview delegation from both sides of the Taiwan Strait, as well as the Chinese audience who tried their best to enter the venue in order to witness the historical footage.

"Hi, Ridley." After shaking hands, Ryan took the initiative to distance himself a little, and deliberately looked at Ridley Scott, "You look black."

"The Moroccan sun is terrible." Ridley Scott, who had just returned from a set in Africa, "should have put the set in Nevada."

"Have you finished filming Black Hawk Down?" Ryan asked concerned.

"At least two months."

Hearing Ridley Scott's words, Ryan secretly sighed that the fate of this movie is really doomed.

After greeting the rest of the crew one by one, Ryan came to his seat, first hugged Leonardo DiCaprio, then nodded to Gisele Bundchen, and waited for Charlize to meet with him. After shaking hands, they sat down.

However, he was still restless. Many celebrities who had just entered the theater chose to come and say hello to him.

"There don't seem to be many guests here today."

As time went by, fewer and fewer people were active in the theater, and Ryan chatted with Charlize, "Do you feel this way, Charlie?"

"Didn't you read the relevant news?" Charlize was puzzled at first, then laughed again, "I forgot that you have been busy with work recently, it is said that the total number of guests and entertainers invited to attend this year is more than 2,800, yes The most ever."

"The fashion and jewelers in Los Angeles are going to get rich." Ryan said with a little emotion.

Every Oscar, the stars competing for splendor on the red carpet will always bring huge income to businesses in Los Angeles.

Fortunately, male stars, such as Ryan, have participated in so many Oscars and have always worn traditional dark dresses and bow ties, while female stars often spend a lot of money if they want to show off on the red carpet.

Fortunately, popular female stars like Charlize usually have sponsors or well-known designers to provide sponsorship, and ordinary stars can only pay out of their own pockets.

These costs range from dresses to jewelry to RV rides and often run into the tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Although the award ceremony has not officially started, more than a dozen cameras of the TV station will sweep across the field from time to time, capturing the expressions of the stars, especially those who have been nominated, before the ceremony.

Ryan's side was naturally the focus of attention, and even a camera obviously stayed on Charlize's face for a long time, which caused South African Diamonds to complain.

"God, the way I am now, the image is completely ruined."

Although she only looks plump, women are very concerned about their figure and beauty, "I really hope that I can finish filming "The Devil" tomorrow, and then hurry up to lose weight."

"Honey." Ryan deliberately comforted her with a joke, "I have to remind you that the film will start after three days, and it will take at least one and a half months to finish shooting."

"Why did you choose Christina Ricci as Shelby?" Charlize didn't answer him at all.

"The candidate recommended by Drew." Ryan made a gesture that you understand, and continued, "Director Jenkins also thinks that her audition is not bad."

Hearing the recommendation from Ryan's friend, Charlize had no choice but to shrug her shoulders, leaned closer to his ear, and whispered, "I have a better candidate, she must be more suitable for Sherby than Christina Richie .”

"Who?" Ryan's mouth trembled subconsciously.

"I've talked to Shelby several times. She's a very complex person." Charlize suddenly turned to the character. Is Terman the right fit?"

Seeing Charlize cover her mouth with a smile and retreat, Ryan gave her a covert glance, South African Diamond blinked mischievously, and then focused on the statuette on the stage.

Ryan would only take this kind of proposal as a joke and would never agree to it. He and Natalie finally formed a tacit understanding, and they usually don't mention the names of Nicole and Charlize. If these two women with quite personalities face each other , also playing a same-sex couple, what kind of unpredictable risks will it bring?

It is estimated that this movie with an investment of 30 million U.S. dollars may not be able to be filmed until today next year.

Squinting his eyes, seeing that Charlize's lips were pursed into an upward arc, Ryan simply put the words she said behind his head, and also stared at the set of Mr. Oscar standing on the stage, waiting for the award ceremony to begin. ()
