"The sexy goddess Angelina was nominated for an Oscar for supporting actress for "Soul Shifting Girl", and she is aiming for the double crown of the Golden Globe Award and the Oscar!" -- The California Observer.

On the second day, the entertainment pages of Hollywood, or the national news media, were swept by the Oscars last night. This situation does not occur at the Golden Popcorn Awards, nor at the Golden Globes, only the Oscars.

This little golden man touches the hearts of movie fans all over the United States. Even this little golden man has attracted the attention of fans around the world. Many people say that he is not as artistic and extensive as Cannes, not as in-depth as Berlin is about cinema, and not as innovative as Venice. But when it comes to the most influential and well-known film awards in the world, it must be the Oscars.

In later generations, there was a very special term, called "Chongao". This is different from the Olympic bid, which refers to the Oscar for foreign language films.

America's status as the entertainment center of the world is what makes the Oscars special. This has also become the highest temple for many filmmakers.

Sean turned on his computer in the morning, glanced at some of the latest entertainment news, and found that the most prominent place was full of news about the Oscars. And many netizens also have a lot of discussions about this year's Oscar list.

Some netizens exclaimed that the lineup was gorgeous, some lamented the passing of veteran stars, and some people were upset about their beloved films, among which loyal fans of "The Matrix" even set off a wave of "conspiracy theories", which seemed very lively on the Internet.

The popularity of the phenomenal movie "The Matrix" can be said to be the backbone of the Internet, and they are unhappy with the film, which naturally causes an uproar on the Internet. The media flocked to it like a school of sharks smelling blood.

Of course, this is not without the push of the publisher of "The Matrix". Because the North American videotape market for "The Matrix" is in the hot stage, I think these distributors will not give up such an opportunity to promote "The Matrix".

The phenomenal film, videotape and DVD markets like "The Matrix" are also a large part of the revenue, or a large part of the profits. In the year 2000, the North American videotape market was still booming, followed by the DVD market, which was not as hot as the videotape market, but it also began to show its potential.

Historically, it was in 2002 that the sales volume and sales of the North American DVD market really surpassed that of videotapes. So in the year 2000, the real big head was still the traditional videotape.

As of the night of the Oscar announcement, the "Matrix" videotape market sold 8.1 million copies, with sales of a staggering 120 million, while the DVD market sold 1.9 million copies and sold $34.2 million. Such a result has approached its box office in North America, and its box office is only 170 million, which shows the horror of the video tape market.

Of course, the studios also see the profit value of the DVD market, and although the sales here are not as good as the videotape market, the profit value is surprisingly high. The cost is low and the profit is high, which makes many filmmakers see the hot profits here.

It can be seen that over time, the filmmakers will shift their focus to the DVD market.

By comparison, "60 Seconds" sold 1.3 million DVDs in North America and earned more than $26.3 million. The videotape has a sales volume of about 1.9 million and a revenue of 30 million. Reached the top 10 sales in the videotape and DVD market.

The hottest film in the videotape market in 2000 was not "The Matrix", but "Tarzan", Disney's animated film released last year, with a staggering 10.5 million sets of tapes and more than $210 million in revenue, making it the real hegemon of the videotape market. It was naturally followed by Lucas's "Star Wars Prequel 1: The Phantom Crisis" released last year, and the Star Wars series not only achieved Lukes' status as a great director, but also brought him unparalleled wealth. The sales of 9.3 million sets of videotapes brought in $133 million in revenue, which shows that the Star Wars series is definitely the most powerful weapon in Hollywood.

This is just the videotape market, the DVD market is not yet counted.

This is also the real reason why so many filmmakers are staring at the Oscar list, only interests are the eternal buttons.

The record for a natural year in the videotape market is "The Lion King," which is absolutely the best seller of 186 million units, and in terms of sales, that's another horrific achievement. Later, with the rise of DVD, this record also became the swan song of the traditional videotape market.

Cartoons dominate the DVD and videotape market, which is why Disney has been able to stand tall.

The Oscars bring not only fame, but also vested interests.

"Oh, I thought you'd call last night......" Angelina, who received Sean's call, was lying on the bed, with a sexy duvet covering her waist, revealing her charming and sexy legs, and suddenly smiled, and said to Sean on the other side of the phone, "But I still like your congratulations." ”

"I'll be back in Los Angeles in a few days and I'm going to the Golden Globes! Of course, I won't forget the cameo work on the film "Exclusive Memory". Hell, I'm busy every day now, well, you're in retreat better than I am......"

Angelina's phone call with Sean lasted more than an hour. Sean never thought he would be on the phone with someone for more than an hour, but when Sean hung up the phone, he found that it really took an hour.

Among the people nominated for the Oscar this time were also several acquaintances of Sean, and the closest person was none other than Angelina, so Sean called early in the morning to bless him. In addition, Russell Crowe's partner was also nominated for Best Actor, and Kevin Spacey, who was also nominated at the beginning, so Sean sent a message to Kevin Spacey to express his blessings.

Kevin Spacey sent a message to express his gratitude. As for Russell Crowe, Sean didn't message him. Because Russell Crowe had invited Sean to a banquet he held tonight, it was better to wish him in person than to express his kindness through his mobile phone.

During the filming of the movie together in Italy, Russell Crowe and Sean proposed this banquet invitation, and Sean naturally agreed.

He didn't expect that the other party's banquet would be one after the other party and the Oscars announced the list.

Russell Crowe's mansion in Los Angeles County is located in Los Angeles County, but his charity party was arranged at a villa in Beverly Hills. After all, compared to Los Angeles County, which requires a few hours of driving, Beverly Hills is more popular.

When Sean drove his all-black domineering Range Rover to the manor villa, he could see many luxury cars parked in the parking lot from a distance, and there were sexy ladies and men in smart suits coming in and out, full of Beverly flavor.

Following the waiter, I soon came to the hall inside the manor, the warmth was suitable, the party chose the typical cold plate method, a well-dressed man with a goblet of wine glasses gathered together to chat, it seemed that the atmosphere was harmonious, there was a performance stage in the hall, a small band was playing the saxophone, playing the piano to play the soothing tone.

The lights are bright, the atmosphere is relaxed, and the music is very soft, obviously this is not an ordinary party, it seems that it is indeed a banquet that Russell Crowe has prepared for a long time, Sean looks at the surroundings and nods secretly.

"Sean ......"

Russell Crowe walked over to Sean with a smile after being reminded by the waiter, looking at Sean in a neat suit and quipped with a wine glass, "Man, it's so cold, do you want some whiskey?" I'm an authentic British whisky......"

"Of course!"

"Haha...... It's a pleasure to meet you, Sean. ”

Russell Crowe laughed and had a bear hug with Sean, and the relationship between the two became more and more good after being filmed by the gladiators, and there was a feeling of sympathy for each other. Many people next to him saw Russell Crowe and Sean being so close, and they all looked at Sean curiously.

only to find that the man in front of him was not very familiar.

"I was at a party the other day when I heard Siccone mention you, and she said you're interested in her husband Guy Ritchie's new film? Oh man, it looks like you're in luck, I know that Guy Ritchie is a British! ”

Just as Russell Crowe and Sean were catching up, a handsome man and a tall woman walked into the living room together, and the couple immediately attracted the attention of many people as soon as they appeared.

"Oh, Sean, feel free to do so, I'll come as long as I go."

Sean smiled and waved his hand, indicating that he didn't mind, and watched Russell Crowe walk over to greet the handsome and personable man and the plump and tall cold and arrogant woman.

Seeing this couple, Sean smiled slightly, this is really a big star couple.

There will be no shortage of Hollywood couples who can let Russell Crowe take the initiative to greet them, but the only celebrity couple who appear at this kind of private banquet is the Tom Cruise couple.

The appearance of this celebrity couple has become the focus of the scene, no way, since "Mission Impossible", Liang Tang has truly established his status as a top idol superstar, and his appearance here naturally attracted everyone's attention.

Of course, there is also the snow-white cannon and platform standing next to the big star, the Australian cold and arrogant actress Nicole Kidman.
