At the beginning of October '99, "Hot Mom and Hot Girl" was launched, and in mid-December of '99, "Hot Mom and Hot Girl" was completed.

As the fifth movie of the Olsen sisters, it is also the third movie in which they play the leading roles, and it is the penultimate movie in which they are ready to retire from the circle.

Why?

Because you don't need to!

is the so-called vicissitudes of life in front of people, in front of the public, the stars are glamorous, but behind the scenes that the public can't see, the stars are still at the bottom of the food chain - you can't tell the truth you want to say, you can't do what you want to do, even if you want to vent your inner dissatisfaction, you have to hide it, for fear of being discovered, and once discovered, all the stars can do is to be busy throwing the pot and trying every means to get themselves out of the whirlpool of critical public opinion.

But at the same time as throwing the pot, the star has to carefully look for the person who carries the pot, if it is a social animal who is unable to shout, it can still have some cover-up effect, and if the pot is thrown on the capital, the phenomenon of passing the pot will occur.

While the capital of all parties takes the initiative to take the pot, they will also go down in person, and these stars will be hammered into life and can't take care of themselves!

What a 10,000-year-old marketing number!

Why don't you want to be popular but participate in variety shows!

What a comminuted fracture can practice dancing after five days!

Beat you to death with a stick!

In front of capital, a star can only be an obedient tool, and in this case, what the Olson sisters shoot, Roland thinks it's no problem, because no matter whether it's word-of-mouth or grades, it can't affect them now.

And they can control others.

"So, would you like to give your fiancé a few days off?" Roland rubbed Kate's head as if pinching Shiba Inu's face.

"Woo, don't get ......" Kate wanted to pat Roland's hand away, but unfortunately, she struggled twice and didn't escape, so she honestly leaned on Roland's arms and muttered: "No......"

“What？” This answer surprised Roland a little, "Why not?" ”

"Because you said you listened to me all this time." Kate raised her right hand and shook her index finger in front of Roland, "So, I want to give you a holiday, you have a holiday, I don't want to give you a holiday, you don't have a holiday, and now, I don't want to." ”

Such words made Roland frown.

But before he could get serious, Kate had already turned around.

Poked Roland's chest with his index finger and said, "But, I want to go to see Sister Olsen's movie now, so not only do you have no vacation now, but you have to honestly accompany me back to the premiere." ”

The god-like brain circuit heard Roland's head full of black lines, and after he caught the smile hidden in the corner of Kate's eyes, he wanted to prove his family's throne without saying a word, like grabbing a chick, and pressed Kate on his lap.

Then he unceremoniously implemented the family law and greeted the soft glutinous peach.

"I'll let you joke with me endlessly!"

"Ahh Yes! Yes! Roland, stop fighting! "Kate, who is in pain, struggles to escape.

"I'll let you joke with me endlessly!"

"Help! Help me! Help me! My husband abused me! After the defeat, Kate shouted for help.

"I'll let you joke with me endlessly!"

"Woo~Woo~Woo~Honey, I was wrong~" Kate, who couldn't struggle and had no one to help, confessed.

Such words also made Roland stop, "Will you dare in the future?" ”

"Don't dare, don't dare." Kate shook her head repeatedly.

"Humph!" Roland snorted and let go of Kate.

When she got up again, her cheeks were crimson like ripe peaches.

The upturned mouth can hang the oil bottle.

"What are you staring at me for?" After seeing his mother-in-law's unwillingness to behave, he wanted to pretend to bully his wife, and Luo Lan, who lost the field in the afternoon and got it back, asked sharply: "Is it because I started too lightly?" ”

However, before the words fell, Kate had already stretched her neck, opened her bloody mouth, and bit Roland's shoulder directly.

Then, there was a ghostly scream-

"Whoa, whoa!"

"Don't bite! Don't bite! ”

"I was wrong! I was wrong! ”

…………

In addition to the acquisition of the Blue Sky studio, in July, a lot of big things happened.

First of all, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", which Roland doesn't care about at all, has finally been released!

After being screened at the Cannes Film Festival, they were screened in Asia by Sony.

On July 6, it debuted in Malaysia and Singapore, on July 7, the flames burned to Ang Lee's hometown, on July 8, the film was screened on the other side of the river, on July 13, the base camp of Anle Pictures was also pushed, and on July 15, Indonesia also saw this Western story in the skin of the East.

According to Sony's arrangement, the film will be screened in a regional rotation mode, first entering the market that can accept martial arts culture, and through the results of these regions, in exchange for theaters in the Western world, not only that, but when they log in Europe and North America, they will not spread the film on a large scale, but control the number of theaters where it will be released, exclude those ordinary audiences, and absorb the elite film critics who can make up their brains to watch it first, and create a perfect publicity stunt for this film through their mouths.

When the storm of public opinion is formed, the screening market is gradually expanding, and at that time, regardless of whether the general public is interested or not, they will be attracted to the theater by the high reputation, and if they understand it, it will naturally be happy for everyone, and if they don't understand it, the professional film reviews that have been circulating on major Internet forums for a long time can also teach them to be people.

To be reasonable, there is nothing wrong with this publicity model.

But for Roland, it was too long.

Therefore, on the day of the release of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" in Southeast Asia, its information was already included on IMDb.

A week after its release, nearly 5,000 people scored 9:0 to catch the attention of most people.

Immediately afterwards, some netizens who had nothing to do after eating pointed out that this movie was suspected of brushing scores, and took the initiative to report to the official, and the official who saw the user's reputation as bigger than the sky after receiving the news, he strongly intervened, and the two ways of background investigation and on-the-spot investigation wanted to clear the possible cattiness, not only that, but on the second day of the investigation, IMDb also issued a written result that most of the scoring people were indeed in the same area.

This situation satisfies those netizens who are idle and painful.

They feel that this kind of scoring movie will soon get the punishment it deserves.

But five days later, the report of the researchers who went to the screening location to conduct on-the-spot investigation in the way of watching the movie in person gave them a whale, because the ten researchers selected by IMDb in ten countries all gave a good score of no less than eight points!

"I don't know martial arts, but I can see that this is a wonderful action-adventure movie!"

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is a captivating action epic! It's not about the two armies in a boring action movie, it's about personal achievement, honor and dignity! ”

"Gravity-defying action movie!"

"An incredible cinematic masterpiece! The "Sense and Sensibility" of the East! ”

This is an unbelievable comment to IMDb users.

Although there are only ten researchers in total, these guys are all randomly selected by IMDb officials in Europe and North America, and many of them have also received feedback emails from registrations before, so there is no doubt about their credibility.

Not only that, but before leaving, the information of these people was also officially disclosed in accordance with the process, and after everyone clicked on their homepage, they could see the efforts made by these users in the past few years to help the website improve the information base......

The spontaneous curiosity, like a cat's claw, keeps scratching their hearts!

And just when these guys were confused and decided to pay attention to a wave of movies, and after they were released on their doorstep, when they tasted it in person, there were countless reports about it on the homepages of MSN and Yahoo.

["Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is the best movie of the end of the twentieth century! 】

[Far more than the epic mythology of "Star Wars Prequel: The Phantom Menace"! 】

[The perfect love that crushes "Titanic"! ] 】

[A strong contender for Best Picture at the 73rd Oscars! ] 】

[Sony's greatest investment since acquiring Columbia Pictures and Samsung Pictures!] 】

The exaggerated slogan made those IMDb users confused!

And even more surprising than them are those ordinary netizens.

No one figured out where the movie "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" came from, and after these people watched the news report and figured out the situation, they found out that Sony, the film's investor, had invested enough in publicity.

If you don't have the money, then why is there a news headline that goes far beyond "The Phantom Menace"?

If you don't have the money, which film critic will write a deadly manuscript that crushes the perfect love of "Titanic"?

No matter how bad the former is, it is also "Star Wars" with hundreds of millions of fans!

And the latter......

Roland's fans can spit out Sony's 100 billion market value!

"What exactly is Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon? How did a movie I never heard of surpasses SW? ”

"A love greater than Titanic? With Ang Lee? ”

"Sony wants to make money and wants to go crazy, right? Make such propaganda? Who knows when this movie will be released? I will definitely go back to the cinema to support! I'd like to see how good this movie really is! ”

"Panasonic has given up! Sony is really strong! ”

The sudden publicity and overwhelming discussion made Sony full of question marks.

They were just about to push a movie in North America, and they ran into running water?

Is there such a good thing?

And when they finished investigating what happened and found out that the explosion of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was related to the company controlled by Roland, they were entangled, because they couldn't figure out what the current state was!

"Why did Roland buy us a press release?"

"I don't know!"

"This kind of look looks like a PR draft that we bought, which is very bad for us! Disrupted all our plans! ”

"I can't help it!"

"Do we still have screenings?"

"What now? Public opinion is up, we are looking for someone to blow it, that can only be counterproductive! ”

"What about a direct release?"

"Come on, come on! Although the wind direction is dangerous, the momentum is already very good! ”

"Yes, yes, does the reputation of the movie matter? As long as you can make money like Blair the Witch, that's enough! ”

In fact, it doesn't matter how well Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon performs for Roland.

All he wants is to tie up "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and Sony.

He wants everyone to know that "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is a project promoted by Sony! He wants to engrave the concept that the fundamental purpose of Sony's invasion of Hollywood, which is to get a piece of the world public opinion position, is firmly engraved in the hearts of the public!

It's as simple as that.

…………

While Sony was frantically preparing for the release of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", on July 25, Roland, who was packing his luggage and preparing to leave Europe, heard an unexpected news - a Concorde passenger plane originally scheduled to fly from Paris Charles-Charles de Gaulle International Airport in France to New York's Kennedy International Airport in the United States crashed into Gones on the outskirts of the city shortly after takeoff, killing all 100 passengers and nine crew members on board, and killing four people on the ground.

The Concorde is the only supersonic airliner in the world that can fly at twice the speed of sound at altitudes close to space......

They are experiencing the first catastrophic accident in their operational careers.

After investigation, it was learned that on the day of the crash, there was a long strip of metal parts on the runway that fell out of the No. 1 engine of the McDonnell Douglas McDonnell Douglas DC-10 passenger plane of Continental Airlines, and when the Concorde took off, the wheels ran over the parts, causing the tire to burst, and the tire fragments shot into the wing cylinders, cutting the cables of the landing gear, causing a spark to ignite the oil leak and catch fire.

The point is that at that time, the air traffic control and crew had already discovered this problem, but because the plane had taxied to V1 speed and had to take off, the captain wanted to fly to Paris-Le Bourget Airport five kilometers away for a forced landing, but the problem was that the plane's engine No. 2 had been turned off at that time, and engine No. 1 was ignited, making it impossible for the plane to climb and accelerate.

In the end, it led to a tragedy.

This finding makes the Concorde, which can fly at supersonic speeds, the most dangerous civil airliner in the world!

Because if this kind of thing happened to a subsonic airliner, they would definitely be able to avoid it if they couldn't accelerate!

As a result, the clamor for airlines to ground such planes and give huge compensation to the victims intensified, and at the same time, the major media in the United States all set off the black history of the Concorde.

In June '75, there was a tire burst at Caracas Airport;

In June '79, there was a tire burst accident at Dulles International Airport;

A month later, in July, at Dulles International Airport, there was a second tire puncture accident of the same year;

In August '81, they continued to have flat tires after taking off from New York;

In November '85, they left Heathrow Airport because of a flat tire and blew up two engines;

In July '93, while landing at Heathrow Airport, the tires exploded;

In October of the same year, the same airfield, the same explosion......

When these facts were put in front of the public, Concorde could only swallow its anger and say that it would compensate the victims, and on the day they promised, Airbus's stock price plummeted!

That's right!

The Concorde is an Airbus model.

The reason why the media in America attacked them was to whitewash the engine parts that McDonnell Douglas had left on the runway, and to make the whole accident a tragedy caused by a product quality problem.

This will not only hurt Airbus's market share, but also help its own Boeing attract more orders.

If this is the end of the matter, it will be a small victory.

But the news that followed made Roland full of surprises.

When he set foot on California soil again, the first thing that appeared in his ears was the unified news of major media and radio stations-

The American Department of Justice has reached a settlement with Microsoft to drop its antitrust investigation into Microsoft's Windows operating system.

What Microsoft needs to pay is to stop interfering with the right of PC manufacturers to freely choose their systems, and to make parts of the source code of Windows software publicly available so that Microsoft's competitors can also write applications on the operating system.

Not only that, but at the same time as reaching a settlement, Microsoft also publicly announced that it would acquire Yahoo; And Ronald Perelman, who has kicked the founder out of management and became chairman, also announced that Yahoo is more than willing to negotiate with Microsoft.

When the news came out -

A global earthquake!

If everyone knows that under the development trend of economic globalization, it is impossible for America to dismantle Microsoft, but will only allow it to complete the monopoly, and the so-called split is just to make a show and pretend to be justice, then what is the acquisition of Yahoo?

Publicly endorse industry monopolies?

Aren't you just an imperialist act!

Imperialism is the highest and final stage of capitalist development!

Rely on the export of capital and let other countries work!

Change the economic life of other countries!

Before, you were still acting, but now......

Stopped acting?

Isn't the next thing to do is to defeat ____?

At the same time as the global shock, the European Union also reacted, and they were also investigating the alleged monopoly of Microsoft's Windows system, and they said righteously that they would never pass the approval of Microsoft's acquisition of Yahoo!

They will never let Microsoft, which is suspected of operating system monopoly, continue to monopolize the Internet!

But shortly after their statement was issued, the US National Transportation Safety Board said that after the explosion of Air France Flight 4590, they would immediately start a re-investigation into the safety standards of Concorde manufacturers, and they had evidence to suspect that the safety standards of Concorde manufacturers did not meet the requirements of passenger transportation, and once verified, they would include all the related manufacturers of Concorde aircraft in the list of prohibited import goods!

As soon as this news came out, the EU was silent.

Because this is the yang scheme.

Didn't you in the EU approve Microsoft's acquisition of Yahoo?

Then we're going to beat the out of your Airbus that has been in trouble for a long time!

Aerospace and Internet, take your pick!
