Chapter 375: Shameful Loser

What are the consequences of expecting too much? If you ask someone from the other side of the Pacific to answer, the greater the disappointment.

After years of anticipation, many Star Wars fans finally waited for a new episode of the series, but although they were not completely disappointed after watching it, it was far from what they expected.

The audience still buys it, after all, the dazzling special effects and the actors' costumes are still very eye-catching, as for the storyline or something, just don't think about it, not to mention that the film also dedicated an exceptionally good Queen Amidala to them.

It was only then that the vast majority of viewers in the United States discovered that Matilda, who was crying back then, had transformed into a beautiful queen.

Even the mainstream media praised 'Natalie? Miss Portman, who did a great job of interpreting the role of Queen Amidala, was the one who prevented her from fully showing her acting skills and qualities, and after a few years of silence, the girl who shocked the whole of America at the beginning finally returned.

The media will praise the individual actors and the special effects in them, but the whole film and George? Lucas was not welcome.

"Powerful Industrial Light & Magic makes George? Lucas was so obsessed with post-production special effects that he ignored that a good story was the foundation of the film. ”

More unkindly, directly criticizing George? Lucas's knowledge of cinema is still stuck in the 80s, and the filming techniques and storytelling level are simply old-fashioned to the extreme.

Those tabloids who are afraid that the world will not be chaotic, and even directly let George? Lucas fired all the screenwriters and asked Ryan, who was going to participate in the second part, to write the rest of the story......

Of course, this kind of thing will never happen, and George? Lucas wouldn't do that, and Ryan wouldn't pick it up.

Sofia? Coppola, like her self-deprecation, did not escape the criticism of critics, who ridiculed her big teeth and hooked nose, criticized her for not being pretty enough, "a laughable performance." There is no future at all" and other harsh comments are overwhelming.

There is no doubt about Sophia? Coppola will be the favorite for next year's Golden Raspberry Awards.

And as a riposte, Sophia? Coppola simply announced that he would retire from the big screen indefinitely.

The media and film critics immediately cheered in unison, as if without her on the big screen, there would be no more bad movies.

"So, conscience will always be a luxury for the media."

Ryan was sitting in Scott's office on Wall Street, next to him on the couch Scott, "So, we're going to be a shareholder in the Los Angeles Times?" ”

Ryan spread his hands and made an expression like this. He asked, "How's the IT stock deal going?" ”

"Already with Jerry? Yang has reached a takeover agreement and he is currently in the process of raising capital. ”

The founder of Yahoo is eager to hold the vast majority of the shares in his hands, not to mention that Yahoo's stock price is rising almost every day, "I keep 10 percent, which is enough to ensure a voice in the board of directors." ”

"It doesn't take so much." Ryan waved his hand, and Yahoo's stake could be bought after it bottomed out, "just keep five percent." The rest of the ones are gradually thrown into the market. ”

"Are we asking John? Chambers pressured Cisco's board of directors to buy our shares in Cisco if nothing else. ”

Even a layman, Ryan has heard of Cisco and its helmsman, John? Chambers. The former's stock price, which can almost only be described as crazy, has brought the latter infinite confidence, and it is ambitious to surpass GM and become the world's largest listed company by market capitalization.

Cisco's board of directors will certainly buy back these shares. With Ryan's shares, if thrown into the market, it would be absolutely disastrous for Cisco.

The rest of the those. Scott is making a planned gradual sell-off, and Ryan doesn't need to worry too much.

"Next."

Even in the face of heavy taxes in the United States, the funds after the transaction will completely overwhelm Ryan's net worth on the face, and it is definitely not a wise choice to hold so much cash in his hands," Scott, find a way to buy Disney's shares and let people get in touch with those small shareholders of Disney. ”

"And ......" Ryan beckoned to George, Mr. Bodyguard immediately took out a copy of the document and handed it to Scott, and after he opened it, Ryan continued, "This company is financing to build its own website, and they have a huge funding gap at the moment, so get people to reach them, invest as much as possible, and make sure that Larry?" Gage and Sergey? Brin's position in the company. ”

Is this company or Ryan once with Jerry? What Yang heard while making small talk, Larry? Gage and Sergey? When the two of them founded Google, they received a lot of help from Yahoo, as if they were developing the famous website in their previous life.

What was the establishment of Google, Ryan didn't know what to say, the original plan was to wait until next year, but I didn't expect that there was news about them now, and at this time Google has not yet been listed, compared to next year, the impact will be smaller, after asking Garcia to inquire about the relevant situation, he decided to take action.

"George." Ryan turned his head and admonished, "Remember to inform Garcia and pay attention to the video site." ”

Mr. Bodyguard nodded coolly.

"Go to the airport."

Out of Scott's office in New York, Ryan got into the car and dialed, "Hi, Nat. ”

"Ryan." Natalie's voice seemed tired, "Where are you?" ”

"On the way to the airport, dear Nat, are you sure you won't see me off? It's so sad. ”

"I'm sorry, Ryan." Natalie seemed to know that she had neglected her lover during this time, "When the summer vacation starts, I will go to New Zealand to accompany you for three months." ”

"All right, my Queen Amidala." Ryan quickly changed the subject, "I wish you good results." ”

What happened to Warsaw was just around the corner, and Ryan didn't dare to let Natalie really stay in New Zealand for three months, otherwise it would be another trouble after Nicole came.

Yes, Ryan is going to New Zealand, and in April, the crew of "The Lord of the Rings" started filming in Queenstown, Peter? Jackson called several times urging him, and if he delayed any longer, the big fat man in New Zealand would probably come to North America in person.

No way, Ryan is a producer and investor, Peter? Jackson couldn't change the actor on the spot.

However, before going to New Zealand, Ryan had to make a trip back to USC, and he had to submit his graduation application to the college in advance.

Professor Gretel had already said hello, and the school didn't bother Ryan too much for the huge amount of money he had already donated and would definitely donate in the future.

After submitting the application, Ryan had just walked to the open-air café of the film academy when Darren and a few people came looking for him.

"Hurry up, there's a good show to watch, the madman has come to our school to give a speech." It was Reese who spoke.

"Who?"

Ryan has little interest in celebrity speeches, and if he really wants to be famous, the one in charge of the White House will bow his head in front of him.

"Larry? Ellison, president of Oracle. ”

Hearing Darren's name, Ryan remembered who he was and became a little interested, "Okay, let's go over and have a look." ”

The venue of the speech is the largest auditorium in USC, Chen Jiazheng has already come here, occupying a few seats in the front, Ryan appeared here, although it attracted a lot of attention, but today's protagonist is obviously not him, many people are staring at the door, waiting for the appearance of the famous rich man.

"Larry? Ellison always has amazing remarks in his speeches, and guess what he would say today? ”

Ryan and the others got together and passed the time with small talk, "nothing more than showing off how many properties he has bought, how many yachts he has built, and the sailing team he sponsors has won the America's Cup." ”

"Cut, what's there to show off? At Ryan's age, has Ryan succeeded? It's still more than Ryan's money. ”

Behind them is also a classmate from film school, who seems to be very well-informed, "What is Larry for Knowing the Road?" Can Ellison come here to speak? Heard of his son David? Ellison applied to film school this year, a condition set forth by the USC Board of Trustees. ”

This person is obviously a very gossipy guy, "If it weren't for the fact that his daughter was too young, it is estimated that the madman would have sent his daughter here." ”

"Whatever, we're not on the same path with them anyway." Darren? Bausman pinched his chin, "I'm more curious about what amazing things he's going to say?" Will it make the school committee regret inviting him? ”

"You won't point at us and scold us, right?" Ryan shook his head.

However, waiting for Larry? After Ellison stepped onto the podium, Darren and the others couldn't help but look at Ryan, because his nonsense turned out to be true.

Although older, Larry? Ellison did not lose his true character as a madman, standing on the podium like a king in the world, but his actions and words made the faces of USC faculty, staff and students change.

"USC students, please look at the students around you, don't doubt it, all of them are losers! You are all shameful losers! I didn't finish higher education, I was just a dropout! Maybe you can be proud to graduate from this school, but you can't change the fate of the loser! ”

The students in the auditorium gradually became agitated, how many students of this age could tolerate being pointed at their noses and spit? Well, maybe we're losers in front of you, but there's one guy in the room who isn't!

Many people turned their eyes to where Ryan was sitting.

Larry? Ellison also noticed this, he didn't restrain at all, he raised his hand and pointed towards the venue, I don't know if it was intentional or not, the direction behind his finger fell on Ryan's side.

"Have any of you ever succeeded? Perhaps, but don't forget, this summer USCA Film School will welcome an amazing student who is also a film genius! He's going to surpass the people the media hyped up, put an end to him and his films, and make him a shameful loser like you! (To be continued......)
