Emmy Awards Banquet

The comments on the media made Winona laugh for a long time after seeing it. Compared with the previous movies, this movie is closer to her true self, but her real performance is regarded as having superb acting skills. This kind of pride in deceiving the whole world made her quite excited.

"They really thought that it was a breakthrough for me to play such a role from those noble and elegant images, and they really thought that this movie was an incredible acting skill for me... Oh my god, how good my acting skills are, and they were all fooled."

When Winona laughed loudly at the media's evaluation. She didn't look classical and elegant at all, and she didn't have any elf-like characteristics.

It has been the third week since the movie was released, and the box office has already been very good, and the media's comments are still excellent, which makes her very proud every time she thinks about it.

Winona Ryder has seen all kinds of scenes. In the past ten years, she has been a news headline for countless newspapers and magazines and has received numerous interview columns from all over the world. However, there are very few instances she is as proud as she is now.

"Life is like a drama, and drama is like life. Who can tell clearly which one is real and which one is fake?" Levi sat beside her and just smiled.

Seeing Winona's pride, he also sighed slightly: She lived in the past so hard that she couldn't even see her own essence clearly, and now she could finally express the thoughts in her heart.

"I've already received quite a few invitations. Some magazines asked me to be on the cover, and some talk shows asked me to participate — someone even entrusted me to ask you, are you interested in participating in some promotional programs? Well, it is very beneficial to want to win prizes."

Winona came to Levi's company; of course, it was not without reason — in fact, she's here to promote the movie. Although the movie's filming is over, Winona is aiming at Oscar. She also hoped that more publicity could be carried out.

"I won't participate in the talk show; anyway, it's impossible for me to get an Oscar." Levi didn't agree to Winona's proposal. "I've been busy lately, and I have other things — you know, the Emmys are just around the corner."

He's really busy. It's September when the film is released, and the new series is also about to be released.

CSI is still on the air, and now its ratings are stable above 10, and the number of viewers exceeds 20 million. It can be said to be the most popular American TV series in the United States.

Who Wants to Be a Millionaire is down slightly but still tops the TV show category. And the Survivors, Levi asked others to work on, because the preparation work is cumbersome, it has not been completed yet. It is estimated that the broadcast will be postponed.

However, the TV series Heroes has been produced and is now broadcast.

The actors used in that TV series are also quite good: in this TV series, Levi finally finds an opportunity to cooperate with William Petersen and let him play a role in the series, while the part of leading actor, Peter, was handed over to a Danish actor Nikolaj William Coster-Waldau who was mainly active in Europe in the past. In Levi's memory, this actor participated in the Game of Thrones after he grew up as Jaime Lannister in the future. And now he is still very young, just right to play the leading role in the play.

And the rest of the minor characters have also found actors. Some of them, Levi also knew - for example, the one who played Peter's brother became George Eads, and the one who played the role of the policeman was still Greg Grunberg. However, for a few of them, he has basically never heard of Japanese and Indian actors. There are relatively few opportunities for foreign actors to participate in American dramas. This kind of opportunity can only be said to be whoever catches up.

But the two actresses in the play. He knows them well. In the casting of the crew, Levi was very surprised that they chose two well-known actors.

The one who played the split personality woman in the play is played by Madeleine Stowe, the imposing actress who starred in 12 Monkeys. Levi still has an impression of her.

The cheerleader in the TV series is Jessica Alba. As a child star, she has already starred in a TV series in Chicago Story as early as last year and also participated in the audition for this TV series.

Levi wasn't worried about other roles, but he still felt a little worried about this role: Jessica Alba's acting skills can only be described as horrible; is it okay to let her act?

"You can find any good-looking girl who is about 18 years old, but it is impossible for her to have good acting skills. There is only one Jodie Foster, and you can't find a second one," Clarke said. He didn't take it seriously, "She is playing a cheerleader, and this kind of role requires a face rather than acting skills."

This is true, and when it comes to face and figure, Levi is also sure that he can't find a better candidate — Hollywood's No. 1 vase is still very beautiful even in her infancy.

Ever since the TV series was produced like this. After taking a two-year hiatus from TV, Levi finally started working on his second TV series. He also decided to attend the Emmy Awards specifically because he has produced a new TV series. It is also necessary to maintain the relationship with the people in the TV series circle, at least who he wants to ask for a cameo or let whichever director takes the shot have to go through relationships.

Compared to promoting movies, what he wants to do most now is to promote his TV series. Movies are already a thing of the past, and some of his plans are only dared to be implemented after the TV series are produced.

"Then it's up to you... Anyway, you know, you won't get an Emmy award, and you won't like those banquets."

Winona left a sentence and departed, and what she said was indeed correct. Although Levi's still won many nominations, he still didn't win a single award. He didn't pay attention to the TV drama industry in the past year, so rewarding someone who doesn't work hard with such a cake-sharing award is impossible. It's normal to ignore him. However, although the awards will ignore him, it will be another matter at the subsequent banquet.

Unlike when he participated in the Emmy Awards a year ago and was still an unknown newcomer, he participated in the awards with a better reputation this time. A director who has shot two outstanding films is simply the focus of everyone's attention in the circle of the Emmy Awards.

In this circle, there are many people eager to transition from the TV drama industry to the film industry. Of course, they paid a lot of attention to the appearance of a director like Levi here.

Among these people, some were relatively timid and only dared to stop and watch from a distance, while others who were more courageous simply came up to ask questions.

"Nick, are there any new movies planned recently?" Walking here, there are always people coming to hear the news. "Is there any chance? Tell me. I believe you must have a lot of good ideas for making money in your mind."

"There are some good ideas, but it's hard to say whether they will make money or not..." Levi, and he said casually.

"If you have any ideas, you might as well bring them out; we can talk about them together..."

When you gain fame, more and more people will like this. Levi was polite with others and agreed with Winona's words: 'I really don't like it here.

Maybe I should leave earlier?' Levi was thinking about it, but suddenly, he saw two people before him: a tall, handsome guy talking and smiling at the girl before him; he was obviously very attractive. The blond-haired girl in front of him turned her back to Levi, laughing forward and backward.

And these two figures. Levi felt a little familiar.

"Hello, is this Miss Aniston?" Levi walked over, and the two people talking in front of him stopped talking at this moment and turned their backs to the woman. Levi turned around. Levi did not admit his mistake; that is indeed Aniston.

"Nicholas Levi?" Aniston also recognized him immediately, with a look of surprise on her face, "I didn't expect you to know me."

"Our TV series is also broadcast on Thursday. How could I not know my opponent?" Levi shrugged, "Hello. Miss Aniston, if I'm not mistaken, this is Mr. Brad Pitt, right?"

"Yes, it's me. Hello, Director Levi."

Standing opposite Aniston, Pitt looked completely different from Aniston. If Aniston looked surprised, then he looked shocked.

The man in front of him is a rising director whose two films are considered Oscar favorites! He has a very good level of shaping the characters in the movie. The first movie won the best actor, while the second movie made Winona Ryder a popular figure. It was a pleasant surprise that he had the opportunity to talk to such a director.

Moreover, he came here on his own initiative — Pitt had heard some rumors about Levi, and he knew very well that Levi is a director who pays great attention to the ability of actors. Such a director would never come to Aniston to chat casually. She doesn't have much acting skills; he must have come here to find him.

Pete never doubted his ability and also liked his old partner David Finch very much. But if there is a chance to meet another director, then why not do it?

This is beneficial and harmless to his career, but he doesn't know what to do to make a good impression on him? Pete regretted it a little. He was too impatient to attend the Emmy Awards this time and might miss the opportunity if he didn't make more preparations.

Seeing Levi approaching, Pitt's attention immediately shifted to Levi. With a very professional smile, Aniston, still amused by him just now, was slightly astonished: How did this man change so fast?

"Hello, Mr. Pitt, I have watched many of your movies; I like the movies Seven and 12 Monkeys..." Levi was talking to Pitt, which made him more confident; yes, he must have come to look for him; he said it himself; his movies left a deep impression on him.

"I very much hope that we will have the opportunity to cooperate in the future. But can you give me some time now? I want to talk to Ms. Aniston about a certain movie."

Talk to her? Pete's smile froze on his face — didn't he come to find himself?
