Best Actor

In general, the production company is doing well, Vladimir has already targeted several small production companies, as long as the funds are in place, he can make acquisitions.

In addition to the channels of small companies, the most important thing is to pay attention to their film library. These small companies have dozens to hundreds of film libraries, and it is better to enrich their own film library. .

It’s a pity that the real valuable film library has long been divided up by big companies and big studios, and Samsara Pictures can only find some leftovers. There are a hundred of other people's worth.

But Samsara Films has to do this. I mentioned the value of the film library before. If a film company wants to develop itself in the long run, it is necessary to have a certain number of film libraries.

Although the value of the remaining films is not high, there is always better than nothing, as long as the acquisition price is within an acceptable range, and this, Vladimir will deal with it.

Sean seems to be caught in a strange circle now, his side business is developing well, not to mention the development of the production company mentioned above, but the single released has achieved many The achievement that a singer may never achieve in his lifetime.

So far, this song "YouRaiseMeUp" has been in the top ten of Billboard's TOP100 for almost 19 weeks, and it has been at the top of the list for a full 17 weeks!

That's an amazing number, because before that, the longest-staying No. 1 on the Billboard TOP100 was Mariah Carey's "OneSweetDay" with BoyzIIMen. After the song was released in November 1995, because one was a superstar and the other was a popular group, the strong cooperation quickly formed a chemical effect, and it finally took 16 weeks after landing at the top of the chart.

This record has been maintained, no one can surpass it, and if there is no accident, it will continue to be maintained.

But Sean released "YouRaiseMeUp" in October last year, and it was his wings as a butterfly.

In the original time and space, as an Irish song, this "YouRaiseMeUp" has not been released in North America, and naturally it has not been on the Billboard chart. In addition, the song itself is not to commemorate 9/11, but Americans feel that it is very suitable for the feelings that need to be vented, which connects them together.

In addition, Mystery Garden released this song in early 2002, when the wound of 9/11 had eased with the destruction of the Taliban, so even if it spread to North America and was sung by many people , Although the influence is great, it is not so great as to defy the sky.

But it's different now. Sean is now an American and a well-known actor. During the 9/11 incident, he donated 5 million yuan at a time, and then donated 7 million yuan one after another, which was criticized by many people. Recognition and Praise is a single that was specially produced to appease the domestic people, released shortly after the disaster.

In this case, several factors work together, plus some unnecessary but helpful conditions. For example, although Sean sang for the first time, he sang at a very high level. Or maybe the producers of the two songs are completely different, but the reference songs and lyrics are similar, so they are surprisingly similar. When combined together, there is such a record-breaking phenomenon. Who made this song a patriotic song?

In the beginning, the media used to speak ill of Sean. Even when the whole people supported him, they would still say things like changing his singing might be better. The longer YouRaiseMeUp stayed on the billboard, the less confident they became.

"This is a wonderful song, it would be better if I could change the singer." A newspaper commented when "YouRaiseMeUp" aired on the top 100 of the Billboard TOP100.

"Sean sings pretty well, but he obviously deserves more systematic vocal training." This is a newspaper comment after five weeks at the top of the chart.

"He has done the best he can and shouldn't be too demanding." This is a newspaper comment ten weeks after the top of the list.

"Quite perfect singing, Sean's minor shortcomings have become the most attractive part of this song, this is the singing full of emotion." This is the 14th week on the list, and it is tied Most records are followed by a newspaper review.

"This is a great song, and whether or not Sean will release his own music in the future, he will leave a big mark in the history of popular music!" This is setting a new record After that, a newspaper comment.

Of course, from Sean's point of view, it's better to have a little more grass.

In short, he is almost more famous in music now than in movies. Once invited to the radio to participate in a show, the other party directly introduced him as a singer, and then praised him even if he went to an actor They are all so good, and the performance in "Dance of Death Row" makes people praise so much, Sean is so embarrassed.

In addition, people who know him often use this to ridicule him. After all, there are not only actors and singers, but few who may have achieved remarkable achievements at the same time.

In this case, when this year's Oscar list was released, the nomination for Best Supporting Actor, which had been highly sought after, disappeared. "Dancing on Death Row" only had Best Actress and Best Original With two nominations for the script, Sean is even more embarrassed and depressed.

"They are so disappointing, they are not willing to even make a small nomination." Sean, who was flipping through the news on his notebook, said this with a half sigh and half a complaint.

"It's luck, Sean, and it's not that you perform well, the film school will definitely give you nominations or even awards." The beauty sitting on the sofa slicing apples said in a calm tone .

She was wearing a lake-green long dress, her legs were half curled on the sofa, and the curves of her calves were half-covered and half-exposed, giving her a faint sultry feeling. The blond hair is simply put in a bun at the back of the head, but it can't stop the natural noble and elegant temperament, who can be except Cate Blanchett.

"Why, are you still complaining that you didn't win the award for "Elizabeth"?" Sean raised his head and asked with a smile.

"No, even without Gwyneth, I'm unlikely to win, don't forget, I'm Australian." Kate still peeled the apple indifferently.

One bite.

So he really did it, Kate didn't dodge, just wrapped her arms around her waist and made a lip print on her neck.

"But I heard that winning is more about luck, and nomination only needs strength." Sean said this at this time, and then changed the subject with a smile: "It's a pity, "Perfect" Thieves didn't come out last year, otherwise with your performance in it, you'd definitely be in the race."

"Do you really think so?" Kate, who cut the peeled apple into small pieces and put it in the bowl, finally turned her head and raised her eyebrows, "In my opinion, if you can compete for gold Musical or comedy-type awards at the Balls are already pretty good."

"Actually that's what I'm talking about," Sean grinned, with a "you're fooled" look, "if you can compete for the Golden Globes for Best Female in Music or Comedy Protagonist, then the previous awards ceremony will definitely not be so boring."

Kate rolled her eyes angrily and wanted to stare at him with her hands on her hips, but then she found that Sean was carefully wiping her with a tissue, and the writing was stained from peeling an apple With Juice.

She couldn't help but sighed in her heart, he has always been like this, he pays great attention to those subtle places, and he can gain the favor of women.

"Anyway, you are much better than me," Shawn shrugged at this time, "You have already done a lot of good works before, and I managed to stage it in "Sniper Phone Booth" It's a solo show, but it can't be seen by everyone, and it turns out to be what it is now - a singer? Or an actor? This is a question worth considering."

When he said the last sentence, he deliberately lengthened his voice and brought an aria, as if he was reciting the lines of "Hamlet", and at the same time his face was filled with helplessness, depression and sadness , with a sighing expression, which is extraordinarily funny.

His face is also amazing, showing so many expressions at the same time, it will not confuse people, even if Kate is mentally prepared, she knows he is funny, but she still can't help but flutter came out.

"What's wrong, is there any problem?" Sean continued to look innocent.

"Okay, I know you're good at acting, but can't you be so funny in front of me!" Kate couldn't help but pressed her fist on his head with her knuckles.

"I just want to complain a little," Sean spread his hands, still maintaining his innocent look, "You know, it's fine if the film academy doesn't nominate me, and invites me again Singing 'YouRaiseMeUp' at this year's awards party, oh my god, did any of them get their heads wet?"

"Inviting you to sing "YouRaiseMeUp" at the awards ceremony?" Kate couldn't help but widen her eyes.

You know, although it is a great honor to sing songs at the Oscars, more than 95% of them are the theme songs of various movies, although there are one or two other songs, but It's basically a funny type, and this one released by Sean, a song that comforts countless people who were injured in last year's disaster, can be taken so seriously by the film school, but...

"That's right, it's really... so ironic." Sean grinned and sighed heavily, not pretending this time.

"Who let you release such a good song," Kate couldn't help but run, but then relieved, "However, this is also a kind of affirmation for you. - What are you going to do?"

Sean raised his head and looked into her eyes, with a hint of hidden worry in his gray-blue eyes, he smiled gracefully: "Of course I agreed, otherwise what can I do? "

He reached out his hand and patted Kate's, "Don't worry, I know what to do."

Kate didn't speak any more, stared at Sean for a while, then pinched the bridge of her nose after realizing something: "By the way, Sean, I may..."

"It's okay, I understand." Sean took over without waiting for her to speak, "Then, it's the old rule, you leave first, and then I wait for more than ten minutes before leaving."

His eyes were clear, without the slightest falsification, Kate sighed in her heart, then cupped his face, lowered her head and kissed his lips, then pressed against his forehead: "Maybe, At the end of this month, I can still spare a little time…”
