Discussed with Mark about private jets, in Hollywood, the purchase of private jets is not a particularly luxurious act, the six-seater, Mach 0.8, 2500 kilometers range SJ30, the price is only a few million, in the cost of top stars, this is not more expensive than a luxury car. Moreover, the private airport occupancy in the United States is also very high, and the elite class owns all kinds of private jets.

However, as Daniel said, private jets are not more low-key than civil aviation, and in addition to safety and convenience, there is no great help for hiding whereabouts.

Mark and Daniel report on the rollout during this time.

"It's surprisingly smooth," said Mark, who had been busy lately, but luckily he was too young to start a family, and his family was in Seattle, so he couldn't see each other often. But as long as you are busy, it doesn't make people feel difficult, and now Mark is in such a state, and he is in a very good mood to see that F2F is developing rapidly every day.

"With over 500,000 users and growing rapidly every day, we've taken a big break from our campus campaigns."

This is also expected, high school students are still relatively closed, college students are not like this at all, most of their high school friends are distributed in different universities, in order to allow friends to communicate with themselves on F2F, they will take the initiative to gang up and let them apply for their own accounts, so in addition to the difficulty of starting the situation, now their work focus has returned to operations and online publicity.

"According to the current plan, we think that the number of users will exceed 1.5 million before the Oscars."

Daniel nodded.

Triver pulled the strings, F2F spent $1 million this year to become one of the many sponsors of the Oscars, this year's Oscars have established their own homepage on F2F, and will broadcast the Oscars process and exclusive photos live on the homepage, which even MB has been compared. For the first time, the Oscars officially broadcast the ceremony live on social media – a collaboration between F2F and Academy President Franke Murray. It was determined after close consultation with Pearson, which was also endorsed by the ABC. ABC owns the right to broadcast television, and it stands to reason that live streaming of online graphics and video clips is not in this category. But considering the close partnership between Oscar and ABC, Pearson still won the approval of ABC, and ABC is more reasonable in this regard. Of course, this is also directly related to the fact that cable networks have not yet felt the threat from social media.

Presumably, in a few years, they will not be so generous, but, the same. At that time, 1 million will not be able to buy the network broadcast rights, and Oscar will certainly not be so scruples about ABC, after all, in the final analysis, Oscar's broadcast is a big fat meat, not Oscar is asking for ABC, but ABC is asking for Oscar again.

A few days ago, the list of Oscar nominees was announced, and Daniel was nominated for the Oscar for Best Actor for his role as Captain Jack in "Pirates of the Caribbean", although he won the actor. It is difficult to get the second one, but it is relatively easy to be shortlisted, after all, as long as the Oscar winner is a film that comes out of the acting line, the level is recognized on the Oscar level line, and few people will question it.

"The Return of the King" won 4 Golden Globes at the Golden Globes and led the Oscars with 11 nominations in a blink of an eye, which is somewhat lacking in surprises, and before the Oscar nominations were issued, most predictors believed that the third "Lord of the Rings" would be the biggest winner of this Oscars. The 11 awards, including being shortlisted for Best Film and Best Director, do cover almost all the awards it can be shortlisted for, if it weren't for the shortcomings in the actors' performances, otherwise none of the four acting awards would have been shortlisted.

before. There are also quite a few people who expect this. Although everyone intellectually thinks it is unlikely, there is still speculation about whether it is possible for the Oscars to make Daniel nominated for Best Supporting Actor - it seems that the Academy has not gone crazy yet, and if they do make Daniel a supporting actor, it will probably become a joke in Oscar history.

In terms of Best Actor, Daniel himself was shortlisted for "Pirates". Sean, who has a grudge against Daniel. Pan was shortlisted for "Mystic River", replacing Daniel in Jude in Miramax's "Cold Mountain". Lowe also has a share, and in addition to the two, Ben. Kingsley and Bill. Murray was also shortlisted for "Dusty Home" and "Lost in Translation" respectively.

At the box office, the other finalists together are not as good as "The Return of the King". Pan won an actor at the Golden Globe Awards, and the opponent was extremely strong, which was breathtaking. Crowe, Daniel, who is also an Oscar-winning actor, and heartthrob Tom Tom. Cruise and Ben. Kingsley - is also an Oscar winner, even the weakest Tom is also a strongman who has won three Oscars and three Golden Globes. Sean. Pan was able to win the actor at the Foreign Correspondents' Association, and the work done behind him must be in place.

In fact, Daniel and the current president of the Foreign Correspondents' Association, Theo. Kingmar's friendship, Daniel wants to make a move, but he didn't actually do it, for many reasons, he just won the Golden Globe and Oscar last year, although the pile is in the limelight, but not to mention the difficulty, just say that the pay, it's a little not worth it, at Daniel's price today, winning another Golden Globe Award will not let the producer add a dime to him, as for the Oscar, it will be even more difficult.

Tom. Hanks' streak is ten years old, and there is no second person in this decade, and Daniel doesn't think he can match Old Tang in this area now.

No matter how slow it is, it won't hurt him.

In addition, it is also very important that he will not attend the Golden Globe Awards or the Oscars, and under this premise, it is even more difficult to ask the other party to give him the award.

After Daniel's absence from the Golden Globes, the question of whether he will attend the Oscars has become another hot topic in recent times.

So in the past two months, although Daniel has not come out once, in fact, there is still no shortage of news centered on him in the media.

The Oscar spokesman could only say that during the communication, Pearson even contacted the side personally, hoping that the two sides would be able to move in unison in the announcement - this was after Daniel made it clear that he would not attend.

So far, no words have been given.

The media called Triver and Cusa in the hundreds, some hung up, others vaguely responded without saying a word.

Even so, when the media reported it, they also used descriptions such as "Daniel hesitated ......" and "Daniel has not yet decided ......" to move the audience's attention.

In fact, not only major media and colleges, but also people around Daniel, are also prying on him.

Mark and Javier are two of them.

After F2F unexpectedly won the social media rights to the Oscars, MB's Javier suddenly got the hang of it and immediately spoke to Daniel on the phone, hoping that he could host one of MB's Oscar reporting features. Because of his attendance, if he can broadcast live on MB, he will definitely be able to attract a lot of attention, which will more or less bring back the attention that F2F stole a little.

In Javier's mouth, that's what Daniel said: F2F has won the live broadcast rights, MB is also Daniel's industry, even if a small part belongs to Google, Daniel can't be too favoritistic.

Obviously, Mark doesn't think so.

"F2F is still in the promotion stage, how can it be compared with MB." Mark's insistence is not unreasonable, at present, the F2F circles of various universities, middle schools, and companies have gradually been established, and the voices calling for them to talk about the removal of barriers are also getting louder, which is also the established strategy of F2F, and Mark hopes to take the broadcast of the Oscars as an opportunity to fully relax the early restrictions.

At this time, Daniel should come out and support F2F.

For him, the question now is not whether he wants to stand out in F2F, not whether he wants to be involved.

He has just left Hollywood for two months, but in fact, in addition to no fresh public activities, he is basically not much different from before in the eyes of the general public, if he emerges at this time, I am afraid that before May or June, there is no need to think about being able to retreat from the limelight, and it will not be able to achieve the purpose of alleviating the aesthetic fatigue of movie audiences in the previous two years, after all, in July, "Spy Shadow 2" will be released again.

"Other celebrities can't wait to hang in the newspaper every day, only you are worried that you can't get cold. This time, you have to get the head, this is your company, this time if the effect is good, it can reach 1.5 million before the Oscar, and 3 million after the Oscar a month, and the F2F will basically be able to officially carry out regular operations. ”

Indeed, Mark is right, and Daniel actually has no room to think about it.

sighed, and acquiesced.

Mark then talked to him about something else, "When we were promoting it at Harvard, we also saw a web page developed by their students, and they hung pictures of two people on it, and other people could like the more beautiful one. I almost blew up Harvard's server, which helped us somewhat, and the other party relented a little earlier, realizing the students' enthusiasm for online social networking. ”

Daniel's eyes lit up, and the Harvard student was obviously Mark. Zuckerberg.

"Have you met him?"

Mark really went out of his way to meet him, "I have the same name, both are called Mark, and I'm just in the second grade." He also said that he wanted to make a similar website to his classmates, which is similar to what you said when you first described F2F, of course I was too surprised, if we hadn't been one step earlier, maybe F2F would have been developed by him. However, Zuckerberg is very good at this field, and some of his previous achievements have also attracted attention, and Microsoft has also invited him to join, but he did not agree. ”

frowned, "What do you think, how about having him join F2F?" ”

Mark was stunned, "He has rejected Microsoft, I'm afraid he won't be willing to join F2F, right?" I didn't invite him ......"

Saying that, Mark himself hesitated, Zuckerberg was really interested when he talked to him about F2F, maybe he really wanted to do this job, it would be a pity to miss a technical genius.

"In this way, you make an offer to him, be sincere, and see if he is interested." (To be continued.) )
