Bix, who has been personally responsible for the release of "Mysterious Eyes", sits in his office.

Just now, Warner's technical evaluation department reported to him.

At present, the chance of winning "Life is Beautiful" is as high as 77%.

"Mysterious Eyes" is only 15%.

Bickers grimaced and threw the report into the wastebasket.

A few days ago, he just got the news that the shares in the hands of the two largest individual shareholders of Time Warner, David Ellison and Ivy Nivo, may be acquired by Robinoff.

In the case of Robinov, Bix knew better than anyone that he simply could not have had so much money to buy the shares of these two men.

Then the only explanation is that Peng Yichen and the Chinese film tycoon behind him made a move.

Only the Chinese people, who have been expanding and exploding in the film market in recent years, have the financial resources to eat such a huge share.

Although, even if the shares in the hands of these two people and the shares in the hands of Robinov combined, they still cannot fully control the entire company.

But if these Chinese people hostilely acquire the shares of Times Hua Na from the stock market regardless of the cost, it is likely that their shares will directly exceed 51%.

At that point, it will probably be time for him to roll up and get out.

But Bix saw all this, but he didn't have any way to take the initiative to deal with it.

The subprime mortgage crisis that broke out in 2007 hit the Wall Street consortium behind Bix.

In the past two years, these consortia have not only been unable to provide any financial help to Bix, but have been drawing blood from Time Hua Na to compensate for their losses.

Therefore, Bix currently can't come up with enough funds to confront Peng Yichen and them.

Now, this sensitive businessman of the Star Flag Country can only pray that "Life is Beautiful" will lose at the Oscars.

That might dampen the determination of wealthy people in China to follow Mr. Peng's lead in buying shares in Hua Na.

In that case, Bix still has a chance to live.

If "Life is Beautiful" finally wins the Best Foreign Language Film award at the Oscars, I am afraid that who will not be able to stop Peng Yichen from entering Time Warner at that time.

Seeing the ownership of Hollywood's largest film company, it was pressed on an award for the best foreign language film that was not always won by Hollywood people.

Bix smiled a little self-deprecatingly, hiding in his office, waiting for the final "verdict" of the Oscars.

……

In the anticipation of fans around the world, the time has finally come to May 22.

At around 7 p.m. West Coast time, the 82nd Academy Awards will be officially held at the Huaxia Theater in Los Angeles.

Because this time, well-known Chinese directors will attend the award ceremony.

The number of Chinese fans from all over the world in Los Angeles has been surging these days.

Especially on the day of the Oscars, the number of Chinese fans has reached the peak of the city's history.

As a direct result, the Los Angeles police were dispatched to carry out the strictest blockade and guarding of the streets on both sides of the Huaxia Theater.

According to preliminary estimates, at this time, there were more than 100,000 Chinese fans crowded outside the gate of the Huaxia Theater.

The five streets around the Huaxia Theater are all crowded with fans holding signs that say "Beautiful Life is the Best Movie".

The Los Angeles police had to rush to coordinate more police forces from San Francisco, San Jose and other surrounding cities to barely maintain the law and order outside the Huaxia Theater......

Hundreds of police cars are constantly patrolling the surrounding area, and the scene of several helicopters hovering in the sky even makes some unsuspecting tourists mistakenly think that this is not a Hollywood blockbuster.

……

This year is a big year for the Oscars, and in the past 2009, classic Hollywood movies have appeared in a bunch.

"Weakness"

District 9

"Growing Education"

"Bomb Disposal Unit"

Inglourious Basterds

"Cherish"

"Serious Man"

"Flying House"

"In the Clouds"

It is already a surprise that one or two of these movies can appear in previous years.

In this year, there were clusters.

And when the competition for Best Picture is extremely fierce, "Life is Beautiful", the film that competes for Best Foreign Language Film, suddenly strangely joined the "competition" for Best Picture through the online box office.

It has become a "gossip" topic talked about by fans around the world.

What surprised other fans of the Star Flag Country even more.

In previous years, Chinese people who rarely came to the Oscars to cheer for each other seemed to be paying great attention to the Oscars this year.

Outside the doors of the entire Huaxia Theater, white and black fans were even squeezed into a very small corner by yellow-skinned fans.

Many yellow-faced men, women and children followed the fan area at the entrance of the Huaxia Theater, shouting excitedly:

"Long live Peng Yichen!"

"Win Best Picture!"

And so on crazy slogans.

Some white fans who don't know about the online voting event feel a little inexplicable in their hearts.

They don't remember that in this year's Oscar shortlist, there is a movie called "Life is Beautiful".

But no matter what they think, in the minds of these Chinese fans, "Beautiful Life" is the best movie among all the movies at this Oscars.

The huge and boundless phalanx of Chinese movie fans almost drowned fans of other colors, turning the entire scene into a sea of Peng Yichen's movie posters and slogans.

Of course, there are more at this moment, and the eyes of fans from all over the world are focused on the top festival of world cinema through live TV and webcast.

Everyone wants to be a spectator who can witness the birth of a legend.

And tonight, for the Chinese audience, they are extremely looking forward to witnessing the breakthrough of Chinese films in the Oscars.

And they also firmly believe that "Life is Beautiful", which has been voted for by countless owners, will definitely be able to conquer the peak of the Oscars.

In order to meet the viewing needs of these Chinese fans, there are 7 media outlets in China that broadcast the Oscars live for the first time.

The movie channel of China Television Station, even before the start of the Oscars, broadcast live outside the Huaxia Theater, and countless Chinese fans "occupied" the spectacular scene of the 5 streets of the Star Flag Country.

Of course, on major websites and Weibo, there are more young people watching the live broadcast.

Weibo officials even directly opened a column for Oscar live broadcasts.

Countless netizens excitedly wrote their messages under the live video.

"I'm Orange Regiment No. 1807. Our Chenchen is the most powerful! The four Oscars shortlisted must all be returned!"

""Beautiful Life" is so good-looking, it will definitely win the Best Foreign Language Film Award, congratulations to director Peng Yichen in advance. ”

"'Life is Beautiful' is the best movie, I watched it four times when it came out. ”

Of course, when all fans are very optimistic about "Life is Beautiful" winning the award, there are still a small number of netizens who pour cold water on everyone to cool down.

"Life is Beautiful is a great film, whether it wins the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film or not. Everyone should keep a calm mind!"

Just when the netizens were discussing extremely fiercely, the picture in the Weibo live broadcast room suddenly lit up.

It turned out that the Oscars were about to start, and the host of the live broadcast room came out first to warm up the live broadcast later.

Weibo spent a lot of money this time and invited the well-known female host Lu Yu to host the live broadcast, and also invited Zhao Jianguo, who rarely appears on variety shows, as a special guest for this live broadcast.
