It is said that Steve Jobs originally founded Apple with his friends, but later due to conflicts between his business philosophy and many people in the company, the veteran, founder, and technology developer was kicked out of the company he founded, and staged a scene like Joe Daxia
The tragedy of being kicked out of the Beggar Clan.
Later, without Jobs, Apple seemed to have lost its soul. Apple's business declined sharply. At the same time, Jobs started a new business after his departure and established a Pixar animation studio. After that, the company became well-known
3D computer animation company, and launched the world's first fully 3D three-dimensional animated film "Toy Story" in 1995, which became famous and his personal worth reached 1 billion US dollars.
But Jobs was worthy of his heroic demeanor and came back during Apple's crisis. After his return, Jobs made drastic reforms, stopped unreasonable R&D and production, ended the years of patent disputes between Microsoft and Apple, and began to develop new products, especially
In the past two years, it has developed iTunes and iPod, and has also begun to open stores in prime locations with great success.
If you want to acquire such a prosperous company, it is undoubtedly a dream!
Negotiations for the acquisition of Apple by Steve Jobs. Undoubtedly, Fantasy Entertainment was rejected. In the words of Steve Jobs, "Apple will never be acquired! Not now and never in the future!"
A very impressive company.
In fact, Apple today also has such strength.
Yi Feiyang is not a reckless person. After research, he found that if Fantasy Entertainment really wants to acquire Apple, there is only one way, and that is to poach!
The biggest drawback of poaching is that you have to pay a lot of poaching fees, because talent is difficult to measure in terms of money, and everyone's greed is different. Conservative estimates, if you want to poach a lot of Apple's talent
, it requires at least hundreds of millions of dollars in poaching fees. In addition, Apple is very powerful. Just like in a war, you must attack the opponent with ten times the strength to win. And Apple puts 5% of the money on the market.
The market value of the equity is approximately US$1.5 billion. Ten times the power would require US$15 billion. According to Fantasy Entertainment’s current strength, it is simply an impossible task!
In fact, in less than a year, Fantasy Entertainment, which claims assets of up to 8 billion, has frequently used its sufficient capital to acquire New Zealand's Weta Digital, India's Mammoth Pictures, and now AMC in the United States.
TV station, after this series of actions, Fantasy Entertainment’s empire has expanded a lot, but there are only about 1 billion U.S. dollars left in terms of working capital. Now they want to use this 1 billion U.S. dollars to acquire 100% of the value of 1.5 billion U.S. dollars.
Fifth, it can be said that it is very difficult to acquire a partial stake in Apple.
Faced with such a tough nut, Yi Feiyang, who was focused on filming, originally planned to give up. Anyway, he had already established a strategic partnership with Samsung, which was not inferior to Apple. But unfortunately, Jobs's words reached Yi Feiyang.
In the flying ears.
I don’t know what occasion Jobs said this. He said: "Yi Feiyang? That Chinese director, the Hollywood careerist? The guy who keeps acquiring companies and treats the United States as his own backyard! God, I can be very accurate.
Say, Apple will never allow such a tyrant to intervene, yes, I don’t like this Napoleonic dwarf! Unless I fall!”
Americans are actually very gossipy. These words quickly reached Yi Feiyang's ears. Yi Feiyang's first reaction was that he had no enmity with the old man Jobs. Why was he so jealous of evil? Also, scolding
I can be a careerist and a tyrant, but why do I want to slander myself as a short Napoleon? Are I short? Although I am a bit shorter than those big American men, I am still very tall at 1.85 meters tall!
Yi Feiyang, who had always been very rational, became a little irrational, especially Jobs' indescribable arrogance, which made Yi Feiyang very unhappy. He felt that he needed to fight back against his opponent's arrogance.
So Yi Feiyang ordered Dures and Alex to start poaching!
In the United States, there are many well-known "headhunting companies" that are responsible for helping other companies poach employees. The biggest advantage of these headhunting companies is the accuracy of intelligence. They can collect accurate information about any company's employees, such as his personal information.
Resume, his mortgage loan situation, car loan situation, and any problems with his funds. Then, these headhunting companies will conduct all-round and three-dimensional lobbying for this employee's character holes until he is tempted and decides to resign.
, join the new company.
While Yi Feiyang was busy filming the first season of "The Walking Dead", Dures and Alex were busy contacting headhunting companies to poach Apple's technical talents.
So a silent storm unfolded in two different fields.
…
"CUT! This shot doesn't work, try again!"
"CUT! This angle is wrong, try again!"
"No! Still not possible!" Yi Feiyang roared angrily.
But after trying it again, the result was still unsatisfactory. So Yi Feiyang yelled: "Idiot! Can you act? Grasp the connotation of the characters, understand?! What I want is for you to play the role well, not for you to be in the role."
The walking dead here!”
People who know him well know that Yi Feiyang has such a temper on the set. People who don't know think that this person is really difficult to maintain.
In short, those who came into contact with Yi Feiyang for the first time remained silent.
As the male protagonist, Colin was also afraid of being scolded by Yi Feiyang. Especially when Yi Feiyang got angry, he would tremble all over and even forget his lines.
Since then, the situation has gotten worse.
Not to mention delaying the shooting time, the shooting effect will not meet Yi Feiyang's requirements.
In fact, Colin's performance as a TV actor is already very good, especially in this drama, it can be said that his performance is completely extraordinary. However, Yi Feiyang's requirements are too high, and the filming of this drama was completely done using movie shooting techniques.
, so the requirements for actors are also the requirements for filming movies.
And Colin, for the moment, was unable to do this.
Here I must talk about the difference in shooting techniques between TV and movies. When shooting TV, because the story plot is long, the requirement for the actors is that they only need to take their time, and they are not required to name the characters in a short period of time.
Character characteristics must be fully interpreted, while movies require a story to be told within an hour or two hours, so the characters must be precise, quickly establish character traits in a short period of time, and make the characters stand out.
Colin has long been accustomed to the filming method of TV dramas, so in Yi Feiyang's eyes, he seemed "scattered" and "not in the zone", so he kept on camera.
As the saying goes, bystanders are obsessed with criticizing the authorities. As the assistant director, Tom saw Yi Feiyang scolding all the actors so badly that no one dared to speak out, so he bit the bullet and said to Yi Feiyang: "Director, I think it might be you.
The shooting techniques didn’t mesh well with their customary interpretation methods..."
This sentence was very tactful and subtle, but it calmed down the furious Yi Feiyang.
Yes, he was smart and quickly figured this out. It wasn't that the actors were too stupid, it was because his own requirements were too high.
For a long time, those who can become the leading actors in Yi Feiyang's movies are almost all acting figures with a few skills, such as Cage, Robert Downey Jr., Johnny Depp, etc. These people have collaborated with Yi Feiyang a lot, a little bit
It's obvious that people like Colin have never received formal acting training, and their acting methods are completely honed by playing small roles in TV dramas. It is inevitable that they are a bit exaggerated.
After figuring everything out, Yi Feiyang calmed down and felt that if he wanted to continue filming this drama, he must provide some acting guidance to these actors.
So Yi Feiyang finally decided to give these people three days to enter Fantasy Entertainment Company to receive hell-style training, or acting training.
Yi Feiyang believes that if these people are really talented, then they will definitely be reborn in three days!
The reason why Yi Feiyang was so generous and gave the actors three days to train was not only to lay the foundation for the smooth filming of the TV series, but also importantly, he had received an invitation from the North American Oscar Organizing Committee to participate in the 2003 Oscars as a nominee.
ceremony!
…
Long before Yi Feiyang was busy filming "The Walking Dead", the 75th Oscar Best Picture nominations that fans around the world were looking forward to had been announced, including "Chicago", "Artificial Intelligence", "The Pianist", "Gangs of New York", "Slumdog Millionaire"
Among the five movies that have excited the hearts of movie fans in the past year, another lucky guy will be born who will be recorded in the history of movies. Who will be the real winner in 2003? The enthusiasm of movie fans begins to increase with time.
As time goes by, it gets higher and higher, and they are all guessing who will have the last laugh.
Let's take a look at these five movies and learn about their legendary stories.
Although "Chicago" failed miserably at the box office to the sci-fi blockbuster "Artificial Intelligence" directed by Hollywood director Spielberg, it could not even catch up with the gangster blockbuster "Gangs of New York", which was rushed into production only a few days before the screening.
But the Oscar favored this movie, and its nominations included Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Supporting Actor, Best Original Screenplay, Best Cinematography, Best Art Direction, Props Decoration, and Best Costume Design.
13 categories including Best Film Editing, Best Visual Effects, Best Makeup, and Best Sound!
This epic blockbuster that combines Hollywood's favorite love, song and dance, has become the most powerful contender for this year's Oscars, with a total of 13 nominations, which makes it easy to think of winning 11 in one fell swoop at the 70th Oscars.
"Titanic" with a statuette.
The same love theme, the same outstanding grandeur, and the same thrilling and gorgeous scenes make people very willing to believe that this masterpiece from Disney's Miramax Film Company will receive the same Oscar recognition as its predecessors.
"Artificial Intelligence" received six nominations for Best Picture, Best Screenplay, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor, and Best Original Score. This is a science fiction blockbuster that Spielberg has been honing for two years.
Tell people that the potential of intelligent robots in the future is unlimited, and humans should cherish everything in front of them. Especially Spielberg, as the winner of the award, this drama has the spirit to succeed in the Olympics, and the whole aura makes people feel that it should not be underestimated
"The Pianist" was nominated for four prestigious Oscars, including Best Picture and Best Actor. This work of great director Roman Polanski is extremely popular. Although there is no war scene at all, it can be seen during World War II.
But his life scenes were sorted out in an orderly manner. And he also set a record, because before that, he had won the Palme d'Or at the 55th Cannes Film Festival for "The Pianist". It can be said that this drama is full of honors,
Whether you can win in the end or not is no longer important.
"Gangs of New York", the famous American director, Martin Sixes, who is also a veteran director with the most vigorous creative experience, is an Oscar-winning film. This film lived up to expectations and was nominated for several awards such as Best Picture and Best Director.
!Although the box office of this film is as high as 300 million and the reputation is also very good, compared to several other epic films, this film is not very popular about its award-winning prospects.
"Slumdog Millionaire", a film directed by Chinese director Yang Yi Feiyang and shot for less than 10 million US dollars, has become the biggest dark horse that people expected and exceeded expectations. As it swept the United States
After the slum incident, Yi Feiyang, who was promoted to a super director, succeeded in one movie after another, causing the media to break their glasses, and at the same time, it also made the movie fans addicted.
This time Yi Feiyang went crazy again, winning 11 nominations including Best Director, Best Film, Best Editing, Best Cinematography, Best Original Screenplay, Best Original Music, Best Original Song, Best Original Sound Effects, etc.
Nominated projects second only to "Chicago"!
When the Academy excluded a large number of white directors from the finals for Best Director, the five finalists were representatives of the academy, the old and strong director Martin Shakesth, and Spielberg, the representative of American directors.
, Roman Polanski, the director of the epic blockbuster "The Pianist", and Bob Fosse, the Hollywood musical director, and of course, the youngest and most dark horse Chinese director Yi Feiyang!
For a time, the eyes of the entire East were attracted. This Oscar ceremony, which originally had low ratings, was sought after by countless movie fans in Greater China because of the mysterious Eastern director Yi Feiyang. Even the aloof CCTV sent a special reporter to Los Angeles.
, presenting this Oscar event that will surely go down in history in front of movie fans across China.
…
On May 11, 2003, the 75th Oscars officially began.
This year's Oscars has set many records. This year is the second year that the Oscars ceremony has officially moved to the "Kodak Theater" built by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. From now on, this grand theater located at the intersection of Hollywood Boulevard and Highland Street will
It will be the forever home of the Oscar statuette.
As the second Oscar Awards ceremony held at the Kodak Theater, the organizers put in a lot of effort, and the invited guests were very generous. 2,800 well-known movie stars from Hollywood and even the world attended, creating the lowest absence rate in history. The Walk of Fame
It was unveiled 30 minutes earlier than in previous years, so the number of people walking through the red carpet and entering the Sherland Theater was also the largest in the past. Hundreds of celebrities, movie stars, and singers were all dazzling and dazzling, making it the largest in the world.
A fashion runway.
Afterwards, according to authoritative statistics from the Los Angeles Times, as celebrities and actors from all over the world arrived in Los Angeles at the same time to participate in this event, more than 2,000 sets of dresses were ordered or rented by various celebrities, and more than 1,300 extended limousines were used.
Rental services are in short supply, and even Hollywood’s “Rodeo Street” and “Harry Winston” jewelry stores report that the value of the fashion jewelry and accessories sold for rent this time exceeds US$75 million, which is also the highest profit in history.
once.
Celebrities gathered together, and the red carpet was full of celebrities in suits or glamorous clothes. They were posing with various POSs, smiling and taking photos with the reporters who flocked to them, or in front of the camera lens.
Show off your superstar style.
Yi Feiyang still looked as satisfied as ever, holding the noble and elegant Anne Hathaway on his arm, smiling at the camera lights as bright as stars. But this time, he couldn't just stay still.
By Hathaway's side.
"Hey, two stars, can you please look over here?" A reporter shouted, hurriedly taking photos, while Yi Feiyang and Hathaway turned their bodies in cooperation, making all the movie fans in the world.
You can see the sweet figures of the two.
Afterwards, Yi Feiyang let go of Hathaway's hand and walked up to the cast members of "Slumdog Millionaire" and took a group photo with them. After all, "Slumdog Millionaire" has a staggering 11 nominations this time, so it will definitely be the winner.
Winning something at this year's Academy Awards has become an unforgettable scene in Yi Feiyang's life.
"Dear Yi, this is the third time your movie has been nominated for an Oscar. Don't you want to say something to the people around the world who are paying attention to you?" An interview with ABC TV, which has won the live broadcast of the Oscars for four consecutive years.
The reporter ran over and took a microphone to interview Yi Feiyang, who was the most shining star among the 2,800 celebrities. The cameraman carrying the camera quickly focused the lens on Yi Feiyang's chiseled face.
"Ha! How can I put it this way? Anyway, I am very excited... Yes, very excited. No matter how many times I have been nominated, it feels like it is the first time for me to attend such a ceremony and see so many friends walking with me.
, and there are so many competitors who are worthy of admiration and respect. All I can do now is to calm down my excitement and meet new challenges!" After Yi Feiyang said these words, he winked narrowly and gave people a look.
A very friendly feeling.
"Haha, I didn't expect that our magical director who likes to create miracles the most would also be nervous!" The reporter excitedly caught Yi Feiyang's words and said exaggeratedly.
At this moment, a crisp voice suddenly shouted: "China Yi!"
Yi Feiyang looked back and saw that she was a super beauty. (To be continued.)
