Chapter 711: The Little Golden Man Towards Internationalization
After leaving the Rockefeller estate, John got busy the next day, and he didn't even have time to watch the Oscars, but he didn't have much to look at, because he knew the result.
This year's Oscars officially took the first step towards "internationalization".
The Oscars are not like Cannes and Venice, they are not international film festivals in the real sense, but only domestic awards in the United States, so few foreign films can stand on the podium of the Oscars.
But this year is different, the British film "Shakespeare in Love" became the big winner, with 13 nominations and 7 statuettes.
In terms of foreign language films, Italy's "Life is Beautiful" has received 7 nominations and 3 statuettes.
Best actor went to an Italian comedy star who couldn't even speak English, Roberto Benigni, for the first time in Scar's seventy-year history.
Although John doesn't like "Shakespeare in Love", he thinks it's a good start, the Oscars should have an inclusive mind, Hollywood is the world, and the Oscars should be.
However, for John's fans, a summer vacation without John is not a summer vacation, and an Oscar without John is not interesting.
Many fans waited for John to make a film, but they couldn't wait, and they played disappearing, this disappearance is more than a year, and fans with good things then launched a campaign called "Looking for John" on the Internet, and they found that John really disappeared, for more than a year, no media reported any news about John, and even the paparazzi did not take pictures of John.
John has been on business at Morgan Manor for more than a year, and it would be strange if the paparazzi could take a picture of him.
Although fans didn't find John, they found out that John's royal crew was secretly preparing for the pre-filming of "The Lord of the Rings", which made fans happy and called on John to come out and shoot this magic film quickly.
But John's fans were happy, but the other group was not.
Tolkien's "The Lord of the Rings" has many fans, these people know that John is going to adapt "The Lord of the Rings" and put "The Lord of the Rings" on the big screen, and they immediately quit, and classics are ruined by movie adaptations everywhere, even if this person is a world director, John who made "Forrest Gump" and "Saving Private Ryan" can't do it. So many book lovers ran to the new line and John's crew to protest.
However, the new line ignored these book fans, there are many fans of "The Lord of the Rings", but John also has a lot of fans around the world, these people are waiting for John to make a film, how can the new line give up because of the protests of some book fans.
John didn't pay attention to book lovers, he was busy now, a small meeting every three days, a big meeting every five days, how could he have time to pay attention to a group of people who were full of food and had nothing to do, and the idle eggs hurt.
The time enters January, is John's busiest time, the government's statistical work is fully over, the annual federal and southern government work report conference, the state government work report conference is about to be held, and this year will also hold the party affairs conference, these four conferences are the most important meetings of the United States and the Southern Union countries, once a year, mainly to report the government's work status for a year, as well as the work plan for the new year.
The first of the four conventions was the Federal Government Work Report Conference.
On behalf of the federal government, Clinton will deliver a state of the nation address to the heads of state of the North and the South to report on the federal government's achievements this year.
However, the party that is not in power rarely attends, and at most a copy of the report is sent at the end of the meeting, so the old Rockefeller did not come this time, and the old Morgan painted in Palm Beach again, and this time John listened to the report alone.
However, there are more people in the federal government work report conference than in previous sessions, and "SAP Times" and "SAP TV", as national media, want to broadcast the content of the conference to the people, so the relevant members of the palace office have the right to enter the venue to listen, so as to release the government's report card of this year to the people of the United States as soon as possible.
"On behalf of the federal government, I would like to formally report to you the achievements of the federal government in 1998. ”
Clinton stood in the middle of the large round conference room of the House of State, dressed in a neat dark blue suit and white shirt, and reported to John on the government's work last year. The representatives of the North, the President of the Senate of the Federal Government, and the top officials of the North listened in attendance.
"Last year, the Federal Government, under the leadership of the Führer and through the joint efforts of all colleagues, achieved extraordinary results and successfully fulfilled the tasks set for it.
Economically, we have achieved the ninth consecutive year of rapid growth, and by the end of December 1998, our GDP had increased by 11.7 per cent year-on-year compared to 1997, achieving a double-digit breakthrough of $13.13 trillion, of which the financial services sector grew by 1.1 per cent, the industrial manufacturing and technology sector grew by 9.4 per cent and 6.3 per cent, and the trade sector grew by 8.8 per cent. The double-digit growth reported by the Führer was completed.
The fiscal revenue was $2,675.3 billion, the expenditure was $2,033.6 billion, and the balance was $641.7 billion.
On the employment side, the unemployment rate fell by 18.9 per cent compared to 1997, and we created a total of 3.63 million jobs last year, of which 1.41 million were added in manufacturing, and nearly 800,000 people did not need government assistance. 360,000 people reached the ...... of the middle class. ”
In a 10,000-word State of the Union address, Clinton spoke for more than an hour, and the result was that the federal government did an excellent job last year, successfully fulfilling all the tasks assigned by John, and even exceeding the standard in many cases, especially in the economic field.
Thanks to the efforts of the two carriages of infrastructure and trade, the US economy has reached double-digit growth ahead of schedule, making the US economy unrivaled among the developed countries in Europe and the United States.
After Clinton's State of the Union address, John discussed the priorities for the year with senior federal government officials, as usual.
"In terms of finance, we must continue to strengthen monitoring, prevent the emergence of financial crises, reduce interest rates, and continue to stimulate market vitality.
Government departments should refine their budgets, improve office efficiency, and eliminate waste.
Increase support for science and technology industry manufacturing, increase support for small and medium-sized enterprises, strengthen Internet supervision, and improve Internet-related laws.
Increase investment in education, especially in re-employment.
We will continue to strengthen the crackdown on all kinds of crimes, especially drug-related crimes, illegal immigration, and gangster crimes...... and other vicious crimes....... ”
John's annual plan basically maintained the previous year's plan, with only some slight adjustments, and since there was no problem with the plan and system formulated, there was no need for major changes after it was tested and feasible. The national policy should continue to be implemented as long as there are no problems, and it is most taboo to change it twice in three days, which will cause confusion.
