The Academy Award has always been an award that major American film companies must compete for. Even the Golden Globe Award, which has a high gold content, has been overshadowed by the long-lasting Oscar.
Someone has said that if you think your acting skills are great, everyone will agree that your acting skills are great, but if you don't win an Oscar, it only means that you are still an actor among many actors and will not become a king or queen. This is why
The future legendary Leonardo DiCaprio is the main reason why Leonardo has been nominated n times and failed n times, but still works tirelessly towards Oscars.
A trophy, an honor, a legend, a promise!
This is Oscar!
If the Oscars in previous years were lively, then this year will definitely be exciting, especially "Muhammad Ali" and "The Pursuit of Happiness" were nominated for Oscars together. These two fighting enemies will once again stage a new drama at the awards ceremony.
The battle of the century.
Colombia's "Muhammad Ali" received this Oscar nomination for Best Director, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor, Best Adapted Screenplay, and Best Editing, for a total of five nominations.
Fantasy Entertainment's "The Pursuit of Happyness" won this year's Oscars for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Screenplay, and Best Soundtrack, a total of five nominations.
It can be said that the Oscar nominations of the two films this time are evenly matched, but generally speaking, the nomination award of "Happiness" is more valuable because it has the award of Best Picture.
In fact, as soon as the Oscar nominations were announced, the two films have been compared, especially with the exception of "Gladiator", surpassing other films. They have become the two most important films with the biggest stakes at this Oscar.
Why a bet?
You know, the Oscars are the same as the Nobel Prizes. Due to the importance and grandeur of the awards, they have always been the focus of many gambling companies. After the awards are nominated, they will host and open gambling games based on the nomination list to attract gamblers.
Guests gamble.
Therefore, as usual, after the nomination list of the 73rd American Oscars was announced, Atlantic City Casino, Las Vegas Casino, and some powerful gambling companies opened gambling games to buy the winners and losers of the nominees.
For example, in terms of Oscar nominations for Best Actor, the five Oscar nominees this time are: Russell Crowe ("Gladiator"), Ed Harris ("Pollack"), and Geoffrey Rush ("Feather").
"The Pen", as well as Denzel Washington's "Muhammad Ali" and Will Smith's "The Pursuit of Happiness."
It can be said that in addition to the two veteran actors Ed Harris and Joffrey Rush, Russell Crowe, Denzel Washington and Will Smith are all popular superstars, and two of them are popular stars.
A black man and a white man complement each other perfectly. This also led to the "Oscar Black and White Battle" gimmick.
In terms of acting skills, these three people are all superb, Russell Crowe's steady and domineering performance in "Gladiator"; Denzel Washington's brave and aloof performance in "Muhammad Ali"; and Will Smith's performance in "Muhammad Ali".
The perseverance and diligence in "The Pursuit of Happiness" are all performed vividly and superbly.
It can be said that in terms of acting skills, these three have almost reached an unparalleled level.
In terms of overall strength, Ross Crowe is a late bloomer. He entered the industry very early and accumulated a lot of experience. This time he is gaining ground. Denzel Washington, as the winner of the black Oscar for Best Supporting Actor, this time aspires to win the title of Best Actor.
, is bound to go further. Will Smith, a rising star among black stars, is known as the black star with the most movie star looks. He has countless fans, but he has not accumulated enough masterpieces. The most important thing is that he is still too young.
From the above, it can be seen that the most promising actor to win the title of Oscar winner this year is undoubtedly Russell Crowe, followed by Denzel Washington. As for Will Smith, he belongs to the mysterious and unpredictable dark horse type.
Therefore, in the peripheral Oscar betting, the one with the highest voice is Russell Crowe, and the one with the lowest voice is Joffre Leash.
Ed Harris and Denzel Washington are evenly matched.
Will Smith stands out on the sidelines.
…
In addition to the Oscar Best Actor Award, which attracts everyone's attention, there is another award that is also very popular this year, and that is the Oscar Director Award. The reason is that as a Chinese, Yi Feiyang was nominated for this extremely valuable award for the first time.
In fact, in his previous life, it was Chinese director Li Bian who replaced Yi Feiyang as the dark horse of this Oscar. He received 10 Oscar nominations for his film "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and can be said to be the pride of the Chinese community. However, due to
With the appearance of Yi Feiyang, he flapped his "butterfly wings", so that Li Yin and his "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" have not yet been filmed, and Yi Feiyang replaced Li Yin and became the first Chinese director to be nominated.
.
…
Not to mention that the Oscar peripheral gambling game has become more and more lively as the awards ceremony approaches. Let’s talk about Fantasy Entertainment. After undergoing a series of reorganizations and transforming from a single film production company to a comprehensive entertainment company, it finally ushered in
The performance reports of each department in the new quarter of the first half of the year were provided.
In the large conference room of Fantasy Entertainment, the fat man Jack Black, who is also responsible for the production and distribution of music albums, stood up with a smile and said: "Hello everyone, because I have formed a band and played rock and roll before, I am also the head of the music department... Why?
To put it bluntly, because the music department was established not long ago, the results are not very good. Since its establishment, a total of 1.2 million Michael Jackson's new music albums have been sold, with sales of 85.2 million and a profit of 74 million. The development and sales of peripheral products have not been very good.
It was so good, the sales were less than 2 million and the loss was 16 million. The music department made a total profit of 58 million."
Rabbit Bill, who is also the head of the TV department, was shocked. He had never heard of such figures. No company's music album sales could reach such figures. After thinking about it, Rabbit Bill, the results of the music department did not belong to him.
Bian Da stood up depressed and reported: "Hi, everyone, I am Bill. I am responsible for producing variety entertainment programs with the TV station. Now we have developed a total of four variety shows with the Fox TV station, namely the second season of "Dance Floor Battle"
, "American Idol" Season 2, "Hell's Kitchen" Season 1, and auditions for "The Hunger Games". The revenue from these programs is commercial breaks, SMS voting, online voting, etc., totaling 168 million, excluding those with TV stations.
After the share and expenses, the profit is 48 million!"
Although on the surface it seems that Bill's income is not as high as Fat Jack's, everyone knows that Jack got the golden egg, while Bill got the golden chicken. With the popularity of these TV variety shows.
Advertising revenue will continue to increase in the future, and records will be sold once and there will be no continuing profits.
As for the planning department and marketing department, they are basically departments with only expenses and no income.
Fat Jack looked the most proud, because he suddenly discovered that so far, except for the film production department that was personally run by his boss Yi Feiyang, his results were the best.
Yi Feiyang and Dures looked at each other and couldn't help laughing. Fat Jack was very proud now, but he would be disappointed later.
In fact, the profit of each department cannot be said to be solely due to its own efforts, but the result of overall collaboration. This is not something to be proud of.
As the highest-paid director of the investment department hired by Fantasy Entertainment, Alex stood up. This old classmate recommended by Dures. His ability to do things is really strong, or very powerful, especially in investment. It can be said that
He has a unique vision... In fact, he proposed the plan to invest in and develop online games, but he gave the opportunity to receive credit to Dures. In Alex's words, this was called "Thanksgiving", but in the end Dures
I still told Yi Feiyang the facts of the matter. The plan was proposed by Alex. This not only made Yi Feiyang admire Alex even more, not only his talent, but also his character.
Alex stood up with a smile as usual: "The investment department has been established for less than three months. So far, it has made a total profit of 270 million for the company in real estate, stock market, Internet, etc.!"
This is undoubtedly a belated meeting, but it doesn't matter. Because the goals for the second half of the year have been set and everyone knows it. In fact, excluding all expenses, Fantasy Entertainment still made a profit in the first half of 2001.
More than 300 million. This number can make everyone burst into laughter because they know that the more the company makes, the more they will get.
The thing is, although Fantasy Entertainment is not a listed company, after verifying its accounts through a Wall Street accounting firm in the United States, the company still announced the total profit of Fantasy Entertainment in the first half of the year.
Moreover, after calculations by professional accountants, it is calculated that the current market value of Fantasy Entertainment has risen from more than 2 billion US dollars to 3 billion US dollars. This number is not too high, but rather low, after all, it has not been listed yet. But
Based on the real estate and real estate invested by Fantasy Entertainment Company, as well as the Google network and TV variety shows it controls, as well as the liquidity of 400 million, this price is worth thousands of dollars. In less than half a year, more than 2 billion has become
Today's 3 billion, such an incredible growth rate of assets is enough to make many Hollywood colleagues jealous.
The American media is also very gossipy. They like to hunt for novelties and compare, so they compare the "Three Golden Flowers" of the American film industry with Fantasy Entertainment, a subsidiary of Yi Feiyang.
It was shocking to discover that Yi Feiyang, Gusta and others were all so rich, so young and promising.
Gusta, the boss of Lionsgate Films, has assets with a market value of US$3.7 billion, including real estate, stocks, bank investments and other projects.
Jussis, the owner of Dimensions Pictures, has assets with a market value of US$2.8 billion, which mainly include mining development in Australia.
Ed Paber, the boss of New Line Cinema, has assets worth US$2.1 billion, which mainly include Internet technology shares.
It’s hard to imagine what the media is thinking. Perhaps it’s because the Hollywood film industry has changed so drastically recently that it is all dominated by young talents. So they are very keen on ranking them.
It happens to be the new Oscars, and I am even more excited to rank the richest people in the United States. Among the richest people in the United States under the age of 40, Yi Feiyang is impressively listed on the list, attracting all the unmarried people in the United States with a fortune of 3 billion.
The female perspective.
Of course, Gusta had the same attraction. Unfortunately, he was already married, and he was recognized as a good man among married men in the United States.
Of course, American women will not be deceived by the superficial appearance of these so-called "good men". In their view, as long as they are men, they are not an unbreakable fortress. The richer a man is, the more romantic he is! This is
The unchanging truth!
However, the American media are more interested in Yi Feiyang's fortune than Gusta's family business. For anyone, wanting to create billions of wealth in three years is definitely a sensation, and Yi Feiyang is undoubtedly
He became the central figure in this sensation.
Countless reporters rushed to Los Angeles Fantasy Entertainment Company, and some even took a plane directly to Hong Kong to find Yi Feiyang's father and mother, trying to find out the history of Yi Feiyang's fortune. However, when the reporter learned that Yi Feiyang's father had
Their fantasies were shattered when they were just a taxi driver and my mother was just a traditional housewife who liked to play mahjong.
Could it be that this Chinese Yi is really the son of God? A genius?!
However, the American media is still pursuing the investigation relentlessly. This investigation is even more incredible. It turns out that more than three years ago, Yi Feiyang's family was very poor. His son ran away and the family owed a lot of debt. This result obviously made Yi Feiyang very poor.
Everyone was extremely surprised and said that all this was really a miracle. Yes, it must be a miracle created by God.
But now that the Oscar ceremony is about to begin, can this Chinese Yi, who is favored by God, continue to become a shining star and a beloved son of God?!
No one knows!
…
"Hi. Did you see that this newspaper has published a lot of news about you. You are praised as the man that women in the United States most want to marry!" Anne Hathaway snuggled into Yi Feiyang's arms and said with a smile.
Yi Feiyang kissed her forehead gently and said with a smile: "Then do you feel honored? Now the man that everyone is fighting for is in your arms?"
"Damn it, I'm the one in your arms!" Anne rolled her eyes at this guy. She felt very happy and worried about this man who was increasingly domineering and imposing.
Happy to be by his side.
Worry that one day I will suddenly lose him.
"Stop reading this damn newspaper, it's almost full of nonsense!" Yi Feiyang took the newspaper from Annie's hand and threw it aside, "Come on, honey, let's talk about you... If I remember
Yes, you are going to New York to study dance next month, aren't you? I heard from Mrs. Lawrence that they have urged you several times, but you have been delaying for a long time and just refuse to leave. Tell me, why is this?
"Yi Feiyang looked at his beloved woman with his eyes and asked.
Annie sighed, like a cat, snuggled tighter into Yi Feiyang's arms, and said, "Hey, Yi, do you really want me to leave you?"
"Oh no, of course not!" Yi Feiyang heard the resentment in her heart, "I just want to say that you have to think about your own future... Besides, hasn't dancing been your dream?"
After a pause, Yi Feiyang added: "Actually, I'm sorry, Annie. You were supposed to go to school last year, but because of my movie, you didn't go. The school promised to help you retain your student status for one year. This year is
This is your last chance, I hope you don’t miss it!”
"If I say...I mean if," Anne said, "I don't want to go to school in New York, but I want to stay with you, what will you think?"
"This..." Yi Feiyang was stunned. He didn't expect Annie to be so attached to him.
In fact, apart from being attached to Yi Feiyang, Annie's biggest fear is that he will be snatched away by another woman.
"I respect your choice, Annie." Yi Feiyang thought for a while and said. "No matter what decision you make, I will support you. Yes, I will always support you."
When Annie heard what Yi Feiyang said, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief and smiled happily. She was really afraid that Yi Feiyang would drive her away... Didn't I say that when a man is tired of a woman, the first step is to drive her away.
A moment.
"Yi, there is something I have wanted to tell you for a long time..." Annie buried her head in Yi Feiyang's arms and said softly.
"Well, what's going on?" Yi Feiyang asked.
"You know, I think Jessica likes you."
Annie's calm words made Yi Feiyang jump.
"Haha, what are you talking about? How is it possible?" Yi Feiyang felt guilty.
"How is it impossible? I can see that the way she looks at you is very wrong! Yes, only when you look at the person you like, you will look like that... full of affection." Annie said softly.
"Then you must have read it wrong. Maybe she is preparing to film "The Hunger Games" because she is grateful to me for giving her the heroine role."
"Is that so?" Annie suddenly stared at Yi Feiyang.
"Why isn't it like this?" Yi Feiyang avoided Anne's gaze, stood up and said, "Okay. Stop thinking about it. I will walk the Oscar red carpet with you the day after tomorrow!"
"Walking the red carpet with me?" Annie was not as excited as Yi Feiyang imagined. "Actually, I have always wanted to say... if you also like Jessica, I can try... to accept her!"
Yi Feiyang: "..."
At that moment, he actually felt suffocated.
What?
Is Anne willing to accept Jessica?
Can she really tolerate other women?
No way, is this a test?!
Yi Feiyang carefully thought about it, "Haha, don't be stupid, how is this possible?"
Annie smiled sweetly and said, "Really?" She said no more.
Looking at Anne Hathaway's calm smile, Yi Feiyang suddenly felt that he had missed an opportunity? If what she said was true, wouldn't he...
Damn it!
Women's hearts are as deep as the bottom of the sea, what kind of thoughts are they on?!
…
Throughout the afternoon, Yi Feiyang was a little distracted while sitting in the office. Seeing him like this, the female secretary thought he was worried about Oscar the day after tomorrow, and wanted to comfort him, but didn't know what to say. Could it be that he was worried about Oscar the day after tomorrow?
,Boss, I support you, Boss, I support you?!
Alas. Let’s forget it!
This outstanding man exuding magic will only be his own boss. He will never be his own man.
The female secretary thought rather sadly.
Yi Feiyang picked up the coffee and took a sip of it, when there was a knock on the door.
Yi Feiyang, who had just been dreaming about enjoying the blessings of everyone, was stunned, but it was Jessica Alba who came in.
"Thank you Yi, thank you for giving me the opportunity to speak for you!" As soon as Jessica entered the door, she couldn't help but give Yi Feiyang a warm hug.
Yi Feiyang was confused. What happened? What kind of endorsement?
"I thought you had forgotten me, but I didn't expect you to be thinking about me all the time. Yes, I will definitely do a good job as the spokesperson for the "Hunger Games" online game this time. Well, as a spokesperson, I will definitely do my best,
If you play the role well, you will never be disappointed!"
Hearing what Jessica said, Yi Feiyang finally understood a little bit. It seemed that the online game endorsement for "The Hunger Games" was given to Jessica. Who did this? Who else could it be besides Dures, the company's second-in-command!
Just when Yi Feiyang was suspicious, the phone on his desk rang. After answering the phone, Dures' cold voice with a smile came from over there, "Yi, how about it? Jessica went to thank you."
Don't thank me, I just did something for you that you were too embarrassed to do!"
This sentence is very ambiguous. Why should I be embarrassed to do it?
Yi Feiyang looked at Jessica who was in high spirits, and said helplessly to Dures on the other end of the phone: "Wait, you guy, sooner or later I will go find you to settle the score!"
After hanging up the phone, Yi Feiyang looked pleased and said to Jessica: "Actually, it doesn't matter. Since you are the heroine of this drama, it is reasonable for you to be the spokesperson of the game, isn't it? Haha!"
Why do you laugh so embarrassingly?
"I knew you were good to me, Yi!" Jessica's enthusiasm was ignited again, and she directly put her arms around Yi Feiyang's neck and pressed her lips against it.
"Ah!" Yi Feiyang was unexpectedly attacked by her. She only felt that her lips were smooth and tasted sweet.
After Jessica finished the stolen kiss, she was inevitably a little shy. Although she was very bold, she still felt extremely shy in front of the person she liked.
The whole office was silent.
Jessica just raised her head and realized that Yi Feiyang's eyes were staring closely at her, and her heart could not help but beat a few times.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do it just now, it was just because I was too happy..." As soon as Jessica finished speaking, her pretty cheeks were immediately covered with a layer of drunken blush.
"Really? Is that really like that?" Yi Feiyang raised the corner of his mouth and stretched out his hand to hug Jessica into his arms.
Jessica, who had been so bold just now, suddenly had a flash of panic in her eyes, and struggled vigorously in Yi Feiyang's arms: "Oh, God! Don't... ugh..."
After saying just one word, Yi Feiyang's lips blocked her red lips domineeringly, causing all her words to turn into a long and heart-shaking moan.
Encountering Yi Feiyang's sudden attack, Jessica's body suddenly stiffened. But within a few seconds, Yi Feiyang began to suck the sweet fragrance from her lips. Jessica suddenly felt as if her body was being sucked out by Yi Feiyang.
He felt as if he was paralyzed, instantly paralyzed, and his heart was floating slowly, not knowing where he was.
If there was any barrier between Yi Feiyang and Jessica before, then at this moment, Yi Feiyang was really moved. The soft and warm feeling coming from Jessica made Yi Feiyang instantly
Then he got lost.
Opening Jessica's tightly closed lips, she tasted the fresh three-inch clove like a bee and butterfly playing with each other...
Just when the two couldn't help but kiss, there was a creak and the door of the office was pushed open. The female secretary gaped at the couple who were kissing passionately.
Yi Feiyang hurriedly pushed Jessica away from his arms, and then said to Jessica very seriously: "Do you understand? This is the passionate kiss in the play! Don't let me teach you how to act!"
Jessica nodded cooperatively, and then slipped away like a little woman. Before slipping away, she didn't forget to glance at Yi Feiyang... a charming look!
Looking back, Yi Feiyang looked at the female secretary, "Ahem, why did you come in without knocking?"
"I knocked, but you didn't hear it, so I..."
"Oh, that's it...you saw it just now, don't get me wrong, I'm teaching Jessica how to overcome psychological barriers and shoot kiss scenes..."
"Boss, you don't need to explain to me."
"Did I explain? No! I was just talking casually. By the way, what do you want from me?"
"Oh, this is the script Mr. Tim Burton asked me to give you, and this is the release plan for Director Gore's new play..."
The female secretary handed two things to Yi Feiyang.
Yi Feiyang nodded, "Okay, if there is nothing else, you can go out."
The female secretary smiled, and before going out, she suddenly turned around and said to Yi Feiyang: "Boss, if you are free, when will you teach me how to kiss? I'm very good at it! Haha!"
Yi Feiyang: "..." (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature for better novels and faster updates!
