Chapter 162: Tiger Mom and Cat Dad!
For Shao Gong, the few days of his honeymoon are the most comfortable days for him, because he can completely put down his work and have a few comfortable days. But such days are always very short for him to go together. After a day trip to Matt's Mental Hospital, Shao Gong and Liu Yifei returned directly to Austin because Oscar was about to start.
While the Oscars will have early entry and seat rehearsals, there is no need for experienced guests and guests to rehearse in advance.
Last year, Dream Voyage's "Rain Man", "Jaws" and "Sky Prison" swept $2.1 billion around the world and were shortlisted for the Oscars at the same time. Now that the opening of the Oscars is imminent, the day after Shao Gong and Liu Yifei returned to Austin, Kevin Wright followed Shao Gong on the red carpet of the Oscars again.
Also going to the Oscars with Menghang this time are "Prison in the Air" starring Nicolas Cage; "Rain Man" is starring: Little Plum and Tom Cruise; "Jaws" starring the second is the sheriff played by Cage and the marine biologist played by Little Plum, so Quint "Colm Mini", who plays the fishing expert, represents the crew of "Jaws".
A group of five people stepped on the red carpet of the Oscars in high spirits, and everyone felt a lot of emotion in their hearts.
Colm Mini is on the red carpet of the Oscars for the first time, and he is very excited; Cage is not here for a long time, and he misses it very much; Xiao Lizi is Lao Tzu is finally back again, and this time he must win the best actor and be high-spirited; Shao Gong feels that he has come to the Oscars for the first time, and he feels bored in his heart, after all, this is his third time coming to the Oscars, or three times in a row, and it is really hypocritical to show his excitement again; Kevin is proving himself again, from a salted fish to a milestone.
After all, the current economic crisis has swept through all magnesium and Europe, which makes many companies a little worried about themselves, worried that investing in big productions will lose their money, after all, in the face of the economic crisis, no one is sure that they can catch big fish in this whirlpool, even the six old Hollywood companies dare not make rash moves, if it were not for this economic crisis, MARVEL would not have found a home because it could not be supported.
In fact, a few years ago, MARVEL was a little unable to hold on, because MARVEL went public in the early nineties due to the wrong leadership when it was prosperous, so it acquired a large number of other companies, including toy companies, card companies, and comic marketing companies, which also led to MARVEL later being burdened with huge debts, if it wasn't for the fact that there was no money at the beginning, MARVEL sold the rights of Blade Warrior to New Line Films to earn some copyright fees to relieve financial pressure, and MARVEL might have gone bankrupt.
Later, although the three blade warriors received mixed reviews, they also made people see a lot of business opportunities. So Fox bought the rights to the X-Men and Fantastic Four movies and made the first X-Men with great success, Sony couldn't sit still and bought the movie rights to Spider-Man, and Hulk was bought by Universal for the rights. At that time, MARVEL did not have its own film workshop, and it had no plans to make movies, so it relied on earning some copyright fees to keep the company running. However, an economic crisis almost bent MARVEL's backbone, which led to MARVEL's official intention to sell the company.
"Rain Man" in Menghang's three films went through layers of screening, and finally Shao Gong won the Best Original Screenplay, and Best Director two awards, the best film is Kevin came to the stage to accept the award, after all, he is a producer, and finally Xiao Lizi finally won the Best Actor with his outstanding performance in "Rain Man", realizing his gorgeous counterattack of two defeats and one victory in the past three years to Menghang. The subsequent Best Original Voice Acting, Best Cinematography, Best Art Direction - Set and Best Editing "Rain Man" were only nominated.
But the Oscars aren't just the end of "Rain Man", as "Rain Man" has also been nominated for the Golden Globe and the Berlin International Film Festival, as well as a number of other film awards, which should add a few more trophies to "Rain Man".
Unfortunately, "Prison in the Air" was only nominated for two Oscars: Best Sound and Best Original Song.
Jaws was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Film Editing, Best Score, Best Sound and Academy Award for Best Picture, while Jaws has not received any trophies for the Golden Globe Awards, People's Choice Awards and BAFTA Awards.
However, in order to stimulate the rise of the film market in the United States during the economic crisis, the audience selected the 100 new films of the century by the Film Association, among which Menghang's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", "Rain Man", "Jaws", "The Shawshank Redemption" and "Titanic" five films were selected.
Although Shaogong and Menghang's films won three battles and three victories at the Oscars, when he returned home, he found that the family was almost chaotic, because Shaogong told Liu Yifei before that he wanted to raise a cat, but he wanted a big, fat, and beautiful one, so Shaogong called Li Yong and directly asked him to buy two Bengal tigers from an old lady in Texas, which can fully meet Liu Yifei's three requirements of beauty, size, and fatness.
Although these two tigers are still in the milk drinking period, they have round heads, short ears, and look very cute, but they are tigers! Although tigers are also cats, they belong to the family of big cats.
The tiger pair is a male and a female, with the female tiger being white all over her body with black or dark brown markings. The male tiger is a brownish-yellow tiger with some black stripes.
Shao Gong is also very capricious in naming the tiger, the male tiger is named Tiedan, and the female tiger is named Erya.
Seeing Shao Gong holding the two tigers in his arms, Liu Yifei almost exploded: "You said you have a cat, but are you still raising a cat? This is clearly a tiger, okay, you actually raise tigers at home, aren't you afraid of raising tigers?"
"What are you afraid of, in Texas, many people are raising them, and what about crocodiles and cobras?
Shao Gong said indifferently: "Don't they look cute now, not much different from puppies." Now they are our children, a son and a daughter, both children and daughters, you are a tiger mother and I am a cat father, how happy it is for the family. ”
"Okay, what should you do when you grow up? What if they are wild one day and bite me or bite someone else? They can be raised at home when they are small, but where should they find space to move around when they are older? Have you thought through these far-reaching questions and buy them at home, tigers grow very fast, you see that they are still very cute this month, and they will be able to dismantle the house next month. ”
Liu Yifei looked like she was about to go crazy: "For the sake of your two tigers, I also deliberately checked on the Internet, but I didn't know if I didn't see it, and I was shocked when I saw it." It is said on the Internet that China's Siberian tiger is the largest tiger in the world, but the result is that people often see that the Bengal tiger is bigger than the Siberian tiger, and the wildness and combat effectiveness can also kill the Siberian tiger in seconds, the two children you bought are Bengal tigers, and you still let me be a tiger mother, you are not afraid that your two children will eat their tiger mothers first when they grow up, you want to change your daughter-in-law, right?"
"Nope. ”
Hearing this, Shao Gong hurriedly shook his head: "Is it easy to get married once? How can I have that kind of mind, I promise to train them well and let them be big cats obediently, this is my cat father's promise to your tiger mother." ”
"Promise, I said big brother, they are a male and a female, do you know how many cubs a tiger can give birth to in a litter? In a few years, you can become a tiger park here, I will tell you." ”
Liu Yifei said anxiously: "In a word, there are no me, I don't have it, you choose it yourself?"
"Aren't you trying to embarrass me? You're a tiger mom and I'm a cat dad, and we're a family. They are like our children now, you can be crazy about cats, why can't you be crazy about them, aren't they just going to grow bigger in the future, what's the matter! You say they eat a lot, I have inquired, two adult tigers can die for a maximum of 1,000 dollars a month, and on my terms, I can raise their grandchildren's grandchildren's grand And ......"
Speaking of this, Shao Gong handed over the tiger to the housekeeper, sat up from the sofa at once, and said with a serious gaze: "You, do you really want me to choose?!" Hearing this, Liu Yifei's arrogance weakened suddenly, this guy didn't love himself in the first place, and if he wanted to choose, he might really want the tiger and not himself. And he looks very strong, like a hostess, but in fact, he is a recipient, and when people are cold, he will die down first.
She struggled weakly: "Big brother, do you know how many tigers there will be in your family after the birth of the grandson of Tie Dan and the grandson of the grandson of the second grandson?"
"This, it seems that I really haven't counted it?"
Shao Gong wondered.
"Then I'll tell you, at least a hundred, if not more. ”
"Then I can raise it. ”
Liu Yifei saw his indifferent appearance, and directly raised his hand to surrender, and was directly dumbfounded.
Liu Jing walked over and patted her on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Senior brother said it's okay, it's definitely okay, do you want to believe senior brother?"
"I hope so!"
Liu Yifei's eyes were blank, but she suddenly remembered a question: "By the way, about my godfather?" Speaking of this, she reminded Shao Gong: "They are still being held by Li Yong!"
"I almost forgot about this. ”
Shao Gong patted his head with his hand and said to Liu Jing: "Comrade Brother Yong, let them go." Anyway, I'm married, and keeping them any longer would be a waste of rice. ”
"Okay, I'll call later. ”
Liu Jing nodded: "But there is still an important matter at the moment, the news that my senior brother and Sissi registered their marriage in Las Vegas has been transmitted back to China, and the entire entertainment industry is in an uproar, you claimed to have no girlfriend and no marriage partner in Hong Kong a year ago, but you suddenly got married in a flash after the year, you have to give an explanation to the media after returning to China! And then there are uncles and aunts who are not very angry, saying that you don't invite your father and mother to get married as a son, if they didn't get a visa in the short term, it is estimated that they would have flown to Austin a long time ago. There is also a great shock among the senior management of Dream Airlines in China, some of them are happy for their senior brothers, some can't figure it out, and some keep their normal hearts and some are depressed. When I heard that my little sister knew that you were married, my eyes were swollen from crying. ”
"I'm married, as for me?"
"The key is that the marriage of the senior brother was too sudden. ”
Liu Jing sighed weakly: "The domestic media also said that you deliberately concealed the truth of your love, and the plank road was secretly Chen Cang." It is also said that Sissi came to the United States when she was unmarried and pregnant, and she wanted to blackmail you into marrying your son. Don't you know what those people are talking about, in order to attract people's attention, they don't dare to write or say anything!"
"It's okay, let them be. ”
Shao Gong pretended to be full of nonchalance and said: "Anyway, we will return to China in a few days, and then we will meet with the domestic media, I don't want to worry about those things now, instead of thinking about excuses, I should love my tiger baby more! They are now the tip of my heart." ”
"The tip of your heart should be your wife, don't forget that you have not been married for more than a month!"
Liu Yifei interjected: "I still haven't terminated the contract with my godfather's red star! Are you willing to let me continue to be an artist under my godfather?"
"Why do you want to terminate the contract, it's completely unnecessary!"
Shao Gong saw her with a straight face, showed a smile and said: "Using the resources of other people's companies to earn their own money, a fool will not be willing!"
"This time, the godfather will definitely hide me in the snow. ”
"Snow hiding is better, you don't have to pay liquidated damages, and you can take a good rest in the open, anyway, your contract will expire in a year and a half, so what about half a year of rest. ”
Shao Gong has a worried expression: "When the time comes, Menghang will naturally terminate the contract and arrange it for you, you will go to the capital if you have an arrangement for the Red Star, and if you don't arrange it, you will live in Shanghai's Shili Peach Forest to live a quiet life, and you can earn 70 million liquidated damages for a year and a half, I still want to find this kind of good thing." ”
"But I'm worried?"
"Don't worry, what I give you, what you buy can allow you to protect yourself, and after you return to China, I will arrange Ximen Yan to be your personal bodyguard, at that time, you have a mother in front of you, and a bodyguard later, with the protection of my secret power, there is no problem with your own safety. ”
Shao Gong yawned: "If I give you something that you know how to use, like Chen Laogou, you can slap a dead man with one palm as easily as a mosquito, I know this in my heart." ”
"Well, I believe you. ”
Speaking of this, Liu Yifei smiled, she looked at Liu Jing and said, "Sister Jing, I have something good for you, it's a martial arts cheat." Hearing this, Liu Jing said again: "By the way, the day before yesterday, the company sent me a package, I opened it to see that it was Gongsun Xiaoxue sent me 'Tianyi Shengong', the letter said that it was her early years of qigong cultivation secrets, a very advanced kind, she also added my QQ, saying that she would guide me to practice in the early stage, so as not to waste my practice poorly." ”
"Gongsun Xiaoxue's martial arts are still very strong, the Wushuang swordsmanship I taught you is her housekeeping skills, and the other set of faster swordsmanship I taught you is my own creation in order to restrain the Wushuang Sword, but there is no strong nerve reaction, body agility and super speed, faster swordsmanship is a set of martial arts skills for fighting the five scum, so you still work more on the Wushuang Sword, and Yifei has some martial arts cheats on the moves of Shaolin Temple, I don't advise you to practice monk martial arts, but you can take it to see your own martial arts as a reference. ”
"I know, senior brother, if it's okay, I'll go back to cultivating. ”
"So desperate?"
"Of course, my martial arts have reached a peak of my own, and it is useless to practice hard, I didn't have cheats before, but now it's different, I have cheats in hand, and I have someone to guide me, and I feel sorry for myself if I don't work hard. ”
Liu Jing looked like a martial arts idiot: "I want to quit the entertainment industry now and be a martial artist wholeheartedly." ”
"The master said that you have perseverance, you really love to walk, and you want to go in this business, and now it seems that you are right. ”
Shao Gong showed appreciation: "Go, martial arts is important, but work should also be both, I will try to arrange less work for you, and pursue the martial arts goal in your heart with peace of mind!"
"Thank you, brother. ”
Liu actually hugged his fists and ran away like a duck.
"Sister really likes to be a martial artist. ”
Liu Yifei looked at Liu Jing's departure direction with envy: "I want to have a hobby worth my life to pursue!" Speaking of this, she glanced at Shaogong, and ignored it: "I'm going to rest, you go to love your hearty tiger baby!"
"It's so unloving!"
Seeing her staggering upstairs, Shao Gong said weakly: "You are their tiger mother, and you are too irresponsible to throw all the responsibility of raising children to the cat father!"
"You can clean up the mess yourself!"
There was a 'bang', and the door to the bedroom on the third floor shut.
