Chapter 69: Respect the Rules

Seeing that everyone, including Judy, was confused by his casually fabricated "rule theory" but repeatedly said yes, while secretly snickering, Xiao Yang continued to put on an unfathomable expression and said: "Now let's go back and see again, after I predicted the earthquake a few days ago, will it not happen again?" Everyone knows the answer, but why? Because its rules lie in the movement of the earth's crust and the laws of physics, which will not be changed by my subjective will and words, in the same way, I predict that M.J. will reach a settlement with the prosecution, will both of them be affected by my prediction? Maybe, but the rules of the whole thing have not changed, and that is the current grand jury system in the American judicial system and the fundamental interests of both the prosecution and the defense! ”

After a cloud and mountain fog cover, Xiao Yang took the initiative to mention the Oscar that everyone is most concerned about: "From this point, if I make a prediction about the final list of winners of this year's Oscar now, will it affect its final result?" Of course not, because as long as its judging rules, which are the mainstream entertainment culture in Hollywood today, do not change dramatically as a result of my prediction – my personal remarks may affect the opinions of individual judges, but at the same time affect more than 6,000 judges? I don't think I've got that much appeal. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Of course, I would never do this until all the votes have been counted by the accounting firm." After a slight pause, Xiao Yang added with a smile: "This is not out of prudence, but out of respect for the rules, we all know that from a small individual to a large country, the world itself is composed of countless rules, and it is precisely because of the existence of these rules that the order of the entire human society can operate normally, so as a prophet, what I do is not to break the rules, but to maintain it as much as possible to ensure that it runs in accordance with the order it should be." ”

"To take the simplest example, I predicted to Judy that she would be nominated for next year's Oscar for Best Actress for "Neil", does this mean that she can get this result without putting in a hard performance, or that with a little more effort and public relations, she may win the award again?"

Without waiting for everyone to speculate, he gave his own answer: "Of course not, because her dedication, her dedication, and her persistence are her rules, if she slacks off because of my words, it is equivalent to taking the initiative to break her own rules, then this nomination will naturally be far away from her, and the balance of interests and balance is the rule of the film school, it is difficult to change or even break this rule with personal strength, so no matter how strong your public relations efforts are, I am afraid it will be difficult to persuade them to change their conventions. In just a few years, three actress laurels were worn on the same person's head in a row. ”

For the fait accompli such as the earthquake and the results of the Golden Globe Awards, he did not hesitate to express the words of "absolutely", "of course", "no doubt" and other words that expressed a strong affirmative tone, and when it comes to the results of a relatively large time span and may be affected by his remarks, it is necessary to use ambiguous words such as "if", "maybe", "I'm afraid", "try to try", the ending has not changed, indicating that his prediction is accurate, and the ending has changed, so he blames various external factors. This is actually the same as the fortune teller's two-sided rhetoric such as "the father dies before the mother".

Of course, Judy couldn't guess the fancy intestines in his stomach, but he just glanced at Sidney deeply, and smiled meaningfully: "Of course I won't break my own rules, I am who I am, I am Jodie Foster, and I will never be changed by the influence of the outside world." ”

Realizing the deep meaning of her words, Sidney reached out to shake her hand, looked at each other and smiled, heart-to-heart, warm and sweet.

At the same time, Julia was also gesturing to Mel Gibson with her eyes, of course, there was no element of personal affection in it, they were just discussing in this way, who should break this pointless bickering and lead the topic to the main purpose of tonight - everyone is so busy, if they don't want to ask Xiao Yang to help them divinate the future of the star path, who has the leisure to accompany him here?

After a "frown", Mel Gibson was the first to break the silence out of gentlemanly demeanor: "Yes, we have all heard Judy mention that you have predicted her future and are very interested in it, so could you also give some predictions about the future development of Julia and myself?" ”

"As a friend, I'll do my best." Xiao Yangxin said that your brother finally couldn't hold his breath anymore, and he wasted so much saliva and feelings in vain, and while secretly slandering himself, he didn't have any expression of conspiracy on his face, but frowned tightly, "It's just ......"

Mel-Gibson and Julia looked at each other and smiled, "Yes, I understand, there is no free dinner in the world, even if you are a friend, there is no reason for you to predict for free, and you can't save the reward you should give." ”

"No, no, no, it's not a reward, it's a sponsorship!" Xiao Yang spread out his hands and joked in a slightly exaggerated tone: "Look, you are so rich, but I am so poor, as a friend, don't you feel uneasy in conscience?" ”

"I'm a little upset to let you say that." Mel Gibson laughed a few times, patted his pocket, and said, "It's a pity that I'm here today as a guest, and I didn't bring a checkbook, you name a number, and I'll go back and send you the check." ”

Xiao Yang likes Hollywood, the sense of service and consumption is extremely developed, and friends will not feel embarrassed to talk about money face-to-face, but he did not follow the other party's request to open his mouth, although he has never talked about business with celebrities before, but he also understands a truth, and the media between you and me to bargain back and forth, and these financiers have to change their strategy, so he continued to use the conversation skills when he was in contact with Anthony Pericano, and said euphemistically: "Since it is sponsorship, Surely the number cannot be determined by me, but how can you evaluate it yourselves according to the prophecy I have given? ”

This is a small psychological tactic, in his opinion, anyone who can gain a firm foothold in Hollywood or even become popular, everyone has the self-esteem and arrogance of not admitting defeat, and appropriately use words to provoke them to pay according to their respective worth, which should be better than clearly marking the price.

Mel Gibson turned to look at Julia, who smiled, "Makes sense. ”
