"Congratulations, Ronan."

At some previous gatherings, Martin Scorsese also met Ronan: "Tonight, you and Relativity Entertainment are the biggest winners."

Luo Nan said modestly: "I'm lucky, and the video is just in line with the social environment."

Martin Scorsese said: "The operation of the two films "Crash" and "When Happiness Comes Knocks" cannot be explained by luck."

Ronan was not humble anymore, but said, "Martin, I'm here, mainly because I want to talk to you about something."

Standing opposite is a big shot in Hollywood that has risen in the past two years and one of the most powerful people in this circle. Martin Scorsese has never had the idea of ​​showing off as a winner.

Martin Scorsese helped his glasses down: "Please say."

Ronan no longer went around in circles and said directly: "Martin, don't you know if you are still interested in Oscars?"

Both of them are insiders, and Martin Scorsese has no need to deny it, saying, "I am old and may retire soon. I am determined to win the awards for Best Director or Best Film."

As one of the four major directors in the 1980s, Martin Scorsese has his own strength to be confident.

"There is a new project for Relativity Entertainment." Ronan said slowly: "Will Smith and Tom Cruise have confirmed to play the two protagonists..."

When Martin Scorsese heard these two people, he was a little moved. Good actors hope to work with good directors, and good directors also hope to work with good actors.

Ronan continued: "The theme of the film is the gangster film you are best at."

"Gangster movie?" Martin Scorsese had quite a question: "Ronan, Oscar has never attached importance to gangster movies."

This is his experience and lessons learned over the past twenty years.

Ronan said calmly: "The Oscars are constantly changing. If it were put in the past, would Will win the Best Actor?" He said simply: "Martin, from my personal point of view, the Oscars will inevitably give you corresponding recognition. George, the four major directors of that year, withdrew from the director's union, will no longer be qualified for the Oscar selection. Steven and Francis have already won the Best Director and Best Film."

Martin Scorsese was silent. The three old guys of that year, George Lucas, were not here. Steven Spielberg and Francis Coppola not only won the Oscar for Best Director, but also more than once.

On the other hand, he himself is still struggling on the road to Austria.

Ronan's viewpoint is that Martin Scorsese has qualifications, ability, connections, and a large number of outstanding works. The Oscar will definitely recognize him. Even if the film is not "The Walker of the Spot", other works will still win awards.

But there is a premise that eating behavior cannot be as ugly as "The Aviator".

This Howard Hughes's personal biographical film is not like a film directed by Martin Scorsese.

In other words, "The Aviator" is not only not Martin Scorsese's best work, it is even below his average.

If it weren't for the proper promotion of public relations, it would be hard to say whether this movie could get an Oscar nomination.

"My personal opinion," Ronan said: "The Oscar judges are just waiting for a suitable opportunity. So, Martin, you might as well shoot the subject matter you are best at."

Martin Scorsese frowned slightly: "If others say this to me, I will never believe it. But you, Ronan... your eyes make me hesitate."

Ronan laughed: "Think carefully, Martin. If you are interested, you can contact Shahai Entertainment and first look at the theme and script of the project, and then talk about something else."

Martin Scorsese nodded: "I will think about it carefully."

"By the way, there is one more thing." Ronan said in advance: "This project is aimed at the 79th Oscars. The overall budget of the project is limited and the pay may not be very high."

"I understand." This is not the first time Martin Scorsese has filmed an independent award-winning film.

Having said that, Ronan has basically achieved his goal. Anyway, everything he should have said. If Martin Scorsese is willing to direct, he will let Shahai Entertainment start negotiations. If he doesn't respond later, he will find other directors.

The party is still going on, and Oscars’ big gift packs are being delivered.

This is also a routine comfort project every year, and it is also a reward for the college to support guests and nominees.

As the top feast of the movie, Oscar has made a very real performance in treating the disappointed.

As we all know, although the Oscars have dozens of awards, they are only a few of them who can win the Little Gold Man, and more than 80% of the nominees will be frustrated.

Giving big gift packs to the stars present after the Oscars is a traditional consolation prize for Oscars.

All gifts will be placed in a specific package. Those who lose the election will also read a particularly sensational message, which means that you do not win the award and do not prove that you have no strength, and there are no losers in the Oscars.

Of course, these expensive expenses are not paid out of your own pocket by the film school.

Before the award ceremony begins, the college will hold a "tender meeting". Advertisers who fail to invest money in clothes and TV advertising will not miss this opportunity. They will naturally rush to be sponsors of the "big gift package".

Celebrities who are at the forefront of fashion receive free gifts, and advertising sponsors also take the opportunity to increase brand awareness, which is also a win-win situation!

Just like in some school sports meetings that Ronan has participated in, classes with poor rankings will receive a fair prize or a spiritual civilization award.

When I was a child, I thought it would be good to win a prize, but I only realized it many years later that it was a kind of consolation prize.

A movie fan once said this on the Internet. How torment should Leonardo feel when he received a super gift package for more than ten years?

I guess most people can't understand it. Maybe Martin Scorsese can understand Leonardo?

The total value of this year's gift package reached 50,000 US dollars. After Ronan received it, he gave it to his assistant Connie as usual.

Scarlett Johnson also gave her big gift bag to her assistant.

The two left the banquet hall in a tacit understanding, one after another, and Ronan had already asked Connie to open a presidential suite with a special elevator in the hotel.

Walking into the elevator, Scarlett Johnson was filled with surprise: "This is the elevator we used for the first time!"

Ronan said: "This is a revisiting the old place."

Scarlett Johnson winked: "Do you want to see a tattoo?"

Ronan put his hands on the elevator and leaned on the elevator: "I'm waiting to appreciate it."

Soon, he discovered that Scarlett Johnson had a horse tattooed on his back and hip!

"Why do you need to tattoo a horse?" Ronan asked.

Scarlett Johnson gave a very surprising answer: "I heard recently that you often go on horseback so that you feel like riding a horse."

Riding a horse is not like driving a car and then stopping when you step on the brake.

A horse can feel whether you can ride it. If you find that you can't ride it, you will laugh at you, bully you, not listen to you, and even turn over and ride you as a horse.

Therefore, as a rider, you must have excellent riding skills.

Oscar night, a sleepless night.

That night, I don’t know how many people slept on the ground that did not belong to me.

After dawn, Oscar news washed away all scandals.

"Relativity Entertainment, the biggest winner of the 77th Academy Awards Ceremony!"

There are many news like this.

But more of the media that helped Martin Scorsese speak out, and before the award ceremony was held, no one thought that Martin Scorsese could win the best director Little Golden Man.

Many of them even criticized Martin Scorsese's ugly eating behavior and "The Aviator" as nothing.

This is the entertainment media, and what they pursue is always news sensational effect.

Therefore, Martin Scorsese, who was criticized and deprecated by countless media before the award ceremony, began to be praised.

For example, "The Hollywood Reporter" previously angrily accused Martin Scorsese of giving up his own humanistic care and social analysis and choosing the flashy and unrealistic fame and fortune-telling themes of dream-seekers is a betrayal of himself!

But after the award ceremony, I praised Old Martin so much: a truly excellent director, a truly outstanding master, and a truly uncrowned king.

No matter from which perspective, the truth is always on the side that occupies the right to speak for public opinion.

There is also the New York Times: Perhaps, Martin Scorsese could not win a Little Golden Man in the end, but could only hold a lifetime achievement award like his predecessor Alfred Hitchcock, and say an unnecessary "thank you" to the equally embarrassing judges. But it is worthy of our gratitude that the giant will not sink. Martin Scorsese walked into the Relativity Building and prepared to cooperate with Shahai Entertainment for a brand new movie!

Just three days after the 77th Academy Awards, Martin Scorsese, accompanied by his manager, came to Sandsea Entertainment, talked with George Clint for two full hours, and then took away the script and project book of "The Walker".

The failure of "The Aviator" is far from knocking down Martin Scorsese, the old director's Oscar journey, can be described in that sentence - he has been defeated repeatedly and repeatedly.

Perhaps it is not appropriate to use the words of footballers on the other side of the Pacific to describe Martin Scorsese, and the words in the previous sentence are more artistic: the martyr is in his twilight years and has ambition.

Shortly after Martin Scorsese got the script, he personally called Ronan and was interested in the script and the story, but before he was sure to answer it, he had to interview the original author and the two leading actors in person.

This is also the director's responsible approach. Once a film project invests tens of millions of dollars, it is a complex project. It must be taken seriously and cautious.
