Just when there was an undercurrent in Daxia because of the ten nominations for "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", the Oscars on the other side also entered the final selection stage. The game of pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info various forces has also officially begun.

Fairness in this world has always been relative. This is true even for the Academy Awards, which have always been advertised as fair and open. It is true that the selection mechanism of the Oscars is impeccable, but the mechanism is created by people. The judges are not saints, they are mortals with weaknesses and loopholes. After so many years of exploration, some effective methods have also been summarized by major companies.

There are two major newspapers in the entertainment industry in the United States, one is "The Hollywood Reporter" and the other is "Variety". These two newspapers, as the most famous entertainment newspapers in the country, have become the focus of competition for all parties in this critical period of the Oscar final election.

Since the announcement of the Oscar shortlist, all pages on "The Hollywood Reporter" and "Variety" have been occupied by Oscar-shortlisted films. The two major newspapers and magazines will take the trouble to interpret these shortlisted films over and over again, and they can interpret the same movie from different angles. As long as you give enough money, they can read it until the Oscars open. This is the power of capital.

Of course, under these reports, the two major newspapers will also symbolically add a sentence: the above content is for your reference only. to prove that they are not forcing Amway.

But fortunately, the Oscars are a hot spot of national attention, so this behavior of the two major newspapers and magazines will not cause much criticism. Many people even speculate about the final outcome of the Oscars through the films reported by the two major newspapers. Although this speculation is baseless.

……

"Hans, here you go." His wife, Mary, handed the latest issue of Variety to her husband Hans. Hans's habit was to read newspapers and magazines while he had breakfast.

Hans took the magazine, glanced at the cover, and was a little surprised that the cover of this issue was an Asian.

"Do you know this person?" Hans asked Marie.

Mary glanced at it and shook her head: "I don't know, I only know the Li case of Asians." ”

"Dad, I know him, he is the actor of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", called Zhou Yanfa, he is so handsome, really, can you imagine the scene where he stood on a bamboo more than ten meters high and fought with a sword and people, that scene was simply handsome." Hans's eighteen-year-old son Remy saw the character on the cover, and immediately put down his fork and danced, obviously having seen "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", he was deeply impressed by Zhou Runfa.

"Oh, is that so?" Hans was interested, and just wanted to read it, but heard his son say: "Dad, let me watch it first, I really want to know what "Variety" says about Zhou Runfa. ”

"There's also a copy of The Hollywood Reporter here, Hans, you can give Variety to Remy." Mary Dow.

Naturally, Hans would not object. I took "The Hollywood Reporter", but found that the cover was an Asian again.

"Who is this?" Hans has no memory of the young man holding the trophy on the cover.

"Remy, do you know?" Hans asked.

Remy was fascinated, and when he heard this, he looked up, and then shook his head to indicate that he was not impressed.

It is impossible for a newspaper like The Hollywood Reporter to choose an ordinary young man as the cover character, there must be a story in this young man.

Hans began to read the first article. Sure enough, this article is about this young man, it turns out that he is the director of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", the director of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", which received ten Oscar nominations this time.

Not only that, he is also the director of last year's popular "The King of Detectives", and once won the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival.

Gu Wenwu's resume made Hans marvel again and again. Such a young director has achieved so much, it is simply a genius. It's a pity that "The Hollywood Reporter" does not introduce Gu Wenwu much, but more about "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

As a well-known film and television critic, the technical terms in the article did not interfere with him, but made him more and more curious about the film. The Hollywood Reporter said that this movie is so good because of money, or is it really good?

Previously, for various reasons, he didn't have time to watch this popular movie. But this article piqued his curiosity again. Although the movie has been drawn, you can buy a disc and watch the movie.

……

The final selection period for the Oscars coincided with the New Year in the Great Xia Kingdom. With the help of Searchlight Pictures, Gu Wenwu spent the New Year comfortably at home. But Zhou Yanfa is different, he can't spend this New Year in Xiangjiang.

"Zhou, I know that the New Year is very important to the people of Xia Guo, but I think that the New Year is every year, but there is only one opportunity like Oscar, so I think you should be able to understand, right?" Anna Dao. The current status of Zhou Runfa in her heart is different from the past. She can't let Zhou Yunfa feel bad about her.

"Anna, don't worry, since I'm here, I've already thought about it." Zhou Yan said.

"That's good, although you were shortlisted for the Oscars this time, but because your previous reputation was not obvious, this is a big disadvantage compared to the other three competitors, so next you have to listen to my arrangement, we have to let everyone know you first, well, let's start with a party tonight, this party is all insiders, many of them are from the academy, I will introduce it to you, but the specific effect depends on you." Anna Dao.

"I understand." Zhou Yanfa had been waiting for this opportunity for too long, and he would never allow such a great opportunity to slip through his hands.

That night, in a mansion in Beverly Hills, a large private banquet was being held. The owner of the mansion is an old-timer in the circle, and every year he holds such a banquet in his mansion. According to him, he wants everyone in the circle to have a place to communicate.

Anna is a well-known beautiful economic person in the circle and has a wide range of contacts. It can be said that the guests attending the banquet, as long as they are a little famous, she knows everything. This kind of understanding is not only knowing the name, but also knowing the person's past, and she can always point out the proud works of others, so that the atmosphere will naturally improve.

Looking at the long-sleeved and good dancing, Anna is exquisitely in this group of celebrities, like a fish in water. Zhou Yunfa couldn't help but feel a touch of admiration. Sure enough, no one got it by luck.

With Anna with him, Zhou Runfa integrated quickly. Although he is a native of Xia Guo, he seems to be very disobedient among a group of blonde and blue-eyed foreigners. But with the title of actor candidate, there is no disobedience. No one can be sure who will win the best actor, so no one will offend a character who may be an Oscar winner, even if he is now a little unknown.

"Today went well, but don't be too happy, it can go so smoothly because there are no other candidates at this party." Anna, who had drunk a lot of wine and had a slightly red face, said.

"I've been in the circle for so many years, if you have to remind me of this, then wouldn't I have been in vain for so many years." Zhou Yanfa said soberly.

"That's good, there will be many similar gatherings in the future, you need to be prepared." Anna Dao.
