The Academy Awards have always been an award that major American film companies must compete for, and even the Golden Globe Awards, which have a high gold content, are overshadowed in front of the enduring Oscars.

Someone once said that if you think your acting skills are great, everyone recognizes that your acting skills are great, but if you haven't won an Oscar, then it can only mean that you are still an actor among many actors, and you will not become a king or queen. This is also the main reason why Leonardo has been nominated N times and lost N times, but he is still tirelessly marching towards the Oscars.

A trophy, an honor, a legend, a promise!

That's it, Oscar!

If the Oscars of previous years were lively, then this year will be very exciting, especially "Ali Boxing" and "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" were nominated for the Oscars together, and the two rivals will once again stage a new round of the battle of the century at the awards ceremony.

Colombia's "Ali Boxing" was nominated for Best Director, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor, Best Adapted Screenplay, and Best Editing, a total of five nominations at this year's Oscars.

Dream Entertainment's "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" won this year's Oscars for Best Film, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Screenplay, and Best Score, with a total of five nominations.

It can be said that the Oscar nominations for the two films this time are evenly matched, but in general, the nomination award for "Happiness" is more golden, because there is the award for Best Film.

In fact, since the Oscar nominations were announced, these two dramas have been compared, especially except for "Gladiator", surpassing other films. has become the two biggest heavy dramas of this Oscar bet.

What is a bet?

Know the way. The Oscar is the same as the Nobel Prize. Due to the importance and grandeur of the awards, they have always been the focus of many market companies. After the award is nominated, they will open a gambling game according to the nomination list to attract gamblers to gamble.

So, as usual, after the announcement of the list of nominees for the 73rd American Academy Oscars, Atlantic Las Vegas. Las Vegas casinos, as well as some powerful hand-eyed market companies, have opened gambling games to buy nominees' wins and losses.

For example, in terms of nominations for the Oscar for Best Actor, the five nominees for this year's Oscars are, Russell Crowe "Gladiator", Ed Harris "Pollack", Joffrey Rush "Quill", and Denzel Washington "Boxer Ali", Will Smith "When Happiness Knocks on the Door".

Arguably. In addition to two veteran drama bones, Ed Harris and Joffrey Rush, Russell Crowe. Denzel Washington and Will Smith are both popular superstars, and the popular fried chicken, two black and one white, complement each other. This also attracted the gimmick of the "Oscar Black and White War".

In terms of acting, all three of them are superb, Russell Crowe is steady and domineering in "Gladiator"; Denzel Washington's bravery and arrogance in "Punching King Ali" and Will Smith's perseverance and diligence in "When Happiness Knocks" are all vividly and brilliantly interpreted.

It can be said that in terms of acting skills, these three have almost reached an incomparable level.

In terms of overall strength, Ross Crowe is a late bloomer, he entered the industry very early, and has accumulated a lot of experience, and this time he has accumulated a lot of experience. Denzel Washington, as the winner of the Black Oscar for Best Supporting Actor, is bound to go one step further when he wins the title of Best Actor this time. Will Smith, a rising star among black stars, is known as the most popular black star, with countless fans, but the masterpieces have not accumulated enough so far, and the most important thing is that he is still too young.

To sum up, it can be seen that the most promising winner of this year's Oscar title is Russell Crowe, followed by Denzel Washington, and Will Smith belongs to the mysterious dark horse type.

Therefore, in the perimeter Oscar gamble, the most vocal is Russell Crowe, and the lowest is Jofer Lillash.

Ed Harris and Denzel Washington are evenly matched.

Will Smith was on the sidelines, standing out.

……

In addition to the high-profile Oscar award, there is another award that is also a big hit this year, and that is the Oscar Director. The reason is that Yi Feiyang, as a Chinese, was nominated for this gold and overweight award for the first time.

In fact, in his previous life, it was the Chinese director Li Press who replaced Yi Feiyang as the dark horse of this Oscar. He won 10 Oscar nominations for a "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", which can be said to be the pride of the Chinese community. However, due to the appearance of Yi Feiyang, he flapped the "butterfly's wings", so that Li Press and his "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" have not yet been filmed, and Yi Feiyang has replaced Li Zhao as the first Chinese director to be nominated for the award.

……

Not to mention that the Oscars peripheral gambling game has become more and more lively as the awards ceremony approaches, and in terms of fantasy entertainment, after a series of restructurings, and from a single film production company to a comprehensive entertainment company, it finally ushered in the new quarter of the first half of the year.

In the large conference room of Dream Entertainment, Jack Black, a fat man who is also the production and release of music albums, stood up with a smile and said: "Hello everyone, I am also the head of the music department because I have formed a band and played rock before...... Anyway, because the music department has not been established for a long time, the results are not very good. Since its inception, it has sold a total of 1.2 million new music albums from Mike Jackson, with sales of 85.2 million and a profit of 74 million. The opening and sales of peripheral products were not very good, with sales of less than two million and a loss of 16 million. The music department made a total profit of 58 million. ”

Bill Bunny, who is also the head of the TV department, was taken aback, he had never heard of such a number, and no other company could match such a number of music album sales. After thinking about it, the results of the music department did not belong to him, so Bill Rabbit stood up depressed and reported: "Hi, everyone, I'm Bill, I'm in charge of doing variety entertainment programs with TV stations, and now we have developed a total of four variety shows with FOX TV, namely the second season of "Dance Floor Fight" and the second season of "American Idol". Season 1 of Hell's Kitchen. There is also a Hunger Games audition. The revenues for these programs are interstitial ads. SMS voting, online voting, etc., totaling 168 million, with a profit of 48 million after deducting the share and expenses with the TV station! ”

Although on the surface, Bill's income is not as high as that of Fat Jack, but the big guys know that Jack has a golden egg, and Bill has a golden rooster, with the popularity of these TV variety shows. In the future, advertising revenue will continue to increase, and the record thing will be sold once and it will be over, and there will be no more sustainable profits.

As for the planning department and the marketing department, it is basically a department that only has expenses and no income.

Fat Jack looked the most proud, because he suddenly found that so far, except for the film production department personally managed by the boss Yi Feiyang, his results are the best.

Yi Feiyang and Dures glanced at each other and couldn't help laughing. Fat Jack is very proud now, and he must be disappointed in a moment.

In fact, the profitability of each department cannot be said to be the result of its own efforts, but the result of overall collaboration. There's nothing to be proud of.

Alex, the highest-paid head of investment hired by Fantasy Entertainment, stood up, an old classmate recommended by Dures. The ability to do things is really strong, or very strong, especially in terms of investment, it can be said that the vision is unique...... In fact, the plan to invest in the development of online games was proposed by him, but he gave the opportunity to receive credit to Dures, in Alex's words, this is called "Thanksgiving Illustrated", but in the end Dures still told Yi Feiyang the facts of the matter, and the plan was proposed by Alex, which not only made Yi Feiyang more impressed with Alex, in addition to talent, but also character.

Alex stood up with a smile as usual: "The investment department has been established for less than three months, and so far it has made a total profit of 270 million for the company in real estate, stock market, network, etc." ”

It was a belated meeting, but it didn't matter. Because the goal for the second half of the year has been set, everyone knows it. In fact, excluding all expenses, Fantasy Entertainment still earned more than 300 million yuan in the first half of 2001. This number literally made everyone's mouth crack with laughter, because they knew that the more money a company makes, the more it will share.

The thing is that although Dream Entertainment is not a public company, after checking its accounts with a Wall Street accounting firm, the company still announced the total profit of Dream Entertainment in the first half of the year.

And after the calculations of professional accountants, it is calculated that the current market value of fantasy entertainment companies has risen from more than 2 billion to 3 billion US dollars. This number is not considered high, but it is a little lower, after all, it has not been listed yet. However, with the real estate and real estate invested by the fantasy entertainment company, as well as the Google network and TV variety shows in his hands, as well as the full 400 million yuan of liquidity, this price is worth thousands of dollars. In less than half a year, more than 200 million has become today's 3 billion, and such an unnatural asset growth rate is enough to make many Hollywood colleagues covetous.

The American media is also very gossipy, they like to hunt for curiosity and like to compare, so they compare the "three golden flowers" of the American film industry with Yi Feiyang's fantasy entertainment.

It turned out that Yi Feiyang, Gusta and others were so rich, so young and promising.

Lionsgate's owner, Gusta, has $3.7 billion in assets, including real estate, stocks, bank investments and other projects.

Jusis, the owner of Empire Pictures, has assets worth $2.8 billion, including mineral development in Australia.

Ed Paber, the owner of New Line Pictures, has assets worth $2.1 billion, which mainly include network technology shares.

It's hard to imagine what the media thinks about it, perhaps because the Hollywood film industry has changed so much lately that it has been ruled by young talents. So they're very keen to rank them.

It happened to be the new Oscars, and I was even more excited to rank the richest people in the United States. Among the richest people under the age of 40 in the United States, Yi Feiyang is impressively on the list, attracting the attention of all unmarried women in the United States with his family assets of 3 billion.

Of course, Gusta had the same appeal, but unfortunately he was married, and was recognized as a good man among married men in the United States.

Of course, American women are not deceived by the superficial phenomenon of these so-called "good men", in their opinion, as long as they are men. It's not the kind of fortress that can't be breached. The richer a man is. The more merry! This is the unchanging truth!

But compared to Gusta's family business. The American media are more interested in Yi Feiyang's career. For anyone, wanting to create billions of wealth in three years is definitely a sensation, and Yi Feiyang has undoubtedly become the central figure of this sensation.

Countless reporters rushed to Los Angeles Dream Entertainment Company, and some simply flew directly to Hong Kong, but they looked for Yi Feiyang's father and mother, trying to find Yi Feiyang's history. However, when the reporter learned that Yi Feiyang's father was only a taxi driver before, and his mother was just a traditional housewife who liked to play mahjong, their illusions were shattered.

Could it be that this China Yi is really the son of God? Genius?!

But the U.S. media is still relentlessly tracking. This is even more difficult to trace. It turned out that more than three years ago, Yi Feiyang's family was still poor, his son ran away, and the family owed a lot of debts, which obviously surprised everyone, and sighed that all this is really a miracle, yes, it must be a miracle made by God.

However, seeing that the Oscars are about to start, can this God-favored China Yi continue to be the son of God who shines brightly and is favored? !

No one knows!

……

"Hi. See, this newspaper has a lot of news about you. Compliment you as the most desirable man for women in all of America! Anne Hathaway snuggled up in Yi Feiyang's arms. Said with a smile.

Yi Feiyang gently kissed her on the forehead and said with a smile: "Then do you feel very honored?" And now the man who is scrambling is in your arms? ”

"Damn, I'm in your arms!" Anne gave the guy a blank look. For this man who is more and more domineering and imposing, she feels very happy and worried.

Happiness to be able to be there for him.

Worried that one day he would suddenly lose him.

"Don't read this ghost newspaper, it's almost all nonsense!" Yi Feiyang snatched the newspaper from Anne's hand and threw it aside, "Come on, baby, let's talk about you...... If I remember correctly, you're going to New York next month to study dance, aren't you? Listen to Mrs. Lawrence, I have urged you several times, but you have been delaying for a long time, and you just refuse to move. Yi Feiyang looked at his beloved woman with his eyes and asked.

Anne sighed, like a cat, snuggled more tightly into Yi Feiyang's arms, and said, "Hey, Yi, do you want me to leave you so much?" ”

"Oh no, of course not!" Yi Feiyang heard the resentment in her heart, "I just want to say that you have to think about your own future...... Besides, isn't dancing your dream all the time? ”

After a pause, Yi Feiyang added, "Actually, I'm sorry, Annie. Originally, you were supposed to go to school last year, but for the sake of my movie, you didn't go, the school promised to help you keep your student status for a year, this year is the most important opportunity, I hope you don't miss it! ”

"What if I say...... I mean if. Anne said, "I don't want to go to school in New York and stay with you, what do you think?" ”

"This ......" Yi Feiyang was stunned, he didn't expect Anne's attachment to him to be so great.

In fact, in addition to being attached to Yi Feiyang, Anne is most afraid that he will be snatched away by other women.

"I respect your choice, Annie." Yi Feiyang thought for a while and said. "No matter what you decide, I will support you, yes, always with you."

Anne secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Yi Feiyang say this, and smiled happily, she was really afraid that Yi Feiyang would drive her away...... Isn't it said that when a man is tired of a woman, the first step is to drive her away.

Suddenly.

"Yi, there's something I've wanted to tell you a long time ago......" Anne buried her head in Yi Feiyang's arms and whispered.

"Well, what's the matter?" Yi Feiyang asked.

"You know, I think Jessica likes you."

Anne's calm words made Yi Feiyang chuckle.

"Hehe, what nonsense are you talking about, how is it possible?" Yi Feiyang is a bit of a thief.

"How could it not be? I can see that the way she looks at you is very wrong! Yes, you only look at the person you like with that look...... Full of affection. Anne said softly.

"Then you must be mistaken, maybe she is grateful to me for being the heroine for her, preparing to shoot "The Hunger Games"."

"Is that so?" Anne suddenly stared at Yi Feiyang.

"Why isn't that so?" Yi Feiyang dodged Annie's gaze, got up and said, "Okay." You stop thinking nonsense. The day after tomorrow, I'm going to walk the Oscar red carpet with you! ”

"Walk the red carpet with me?" Anne was not as excited as Yi Feiyang imagined. "Actually, I've always wanted to say...... If you like Jessica too, I can try it...... Accept her! ”

Yi Feiyang: "......"

At that moment, he actually had a feeling of suffocation.

What?

Is Anne willing to accept Jessica?

Can she really accommodate other women?

Isn't it, is this a temptation?!

Yi Feiyang pondered cautiously, "Hehe, don't be stupid, how is it possible?" ”

Anne smiled, "Really? "No more words.

Look at Anne Hathaway's calm smile. Yi Feiyang suddenly felt that he had missed an opportunity? If what she says is true, then wouldn't she be ......

Damn it!

Women's hearts are needles, what kind of thoughts are they?!

……

Throughout the afternoon, Yi Feiyang, who was sitting in the office, was a little distracted. When the female secretary saw him like this, she thought he was worried about Oscar the day after tomorrow and wanted to comfort him, but she didn't know what to say. Could it be that I support you, boss, and I support you, boss?!

Alas. Forget it!

This excellent man who exudes magic will only be his own boss. Never be your own man.

The female secretary thought with some sadness.

Yi Feiyang took a sip of coffee and took a sip of it, when there was a knock on the door.

Yi Feiyang, who was still fantasizing about enjoying the blessings of Qi just now, was stunned, but it was Jessica Alba who came in.

"Xie Lu thanks you Yi, Xie Lu thanks you for giving me the opportunity to endorse!" As soon as Jessica entered the door, she couldn't help but give Yi Feiyang a warm hug.

Yi Feiyang was confused, what's wrong, what endorsement?

"I thought you forgot about me, I didn't expect you to be thinking about me all the time, yes, this time I will definitely do a good job as the endorsement of the "Hunger Games" online game, well, as a spokesperson, I will definitely do my best to play the role well, and I will never let you down!"

Listening to Jessica say this, Yi Feiyang finally understood a little bit, it seems that the online game endorsement of "The Hunger Games" was given to Jessica, who did this? Who else can there be besides the company's second-in-command Dures!

Just when Yi Feiyang was suspicious, the phone on the desk rang, and when he took the phone, there was a cold and smiling voice from Dures, "Yi, how is it, is Jessica going to thank you?" Don't thank me, I just did what you were embarrassed to do! ”

This sentence is very ambiguous, what do I mean to be embarrassed to do?

Yi Feiyang looked at the elated Jessica, and said helplessly to Dures on the other end of the phone: "Wait, you guy, I'll go to you sooner or later to settle accounts!" ”

Hanging up the phone, Yi Feiyang made a happy appearance and said to Jessica: "Actually, it's nothing, since you are the heroine of this play, it makes sense for you to be the spokesperson of the game, isn't it?" Hehe! ”

Why are you laughing so embarrassed?

"I know that you are good to me, easy!" Jessica's enthusiasm was ignited again, and she directly put her arms around Yi Feiyang's neck and pasted her lips.

"Ahh Yi Feiyang was unexpectedly attacked by her, only to feel that the lips were smooth and sweet.

Jessica was inevitably a little shy after the kiss, although she was very bold, she still felt extremely shy in front of the person she liked.

The whole office, silent.

Jessica just raised her head when she realized that Yi Feiyang's eyes were staring at her tightly, and her heart couldn't help but pound a few times.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, just because I was so happy......" Jessica's delicate cheeks were smeared with a drunken blush.

"Really? Is that really the case? The corners of Yi Feiyang's mouth curled, and he reached out and hugged Jessica into his arms.

Jessica, who was bold just now, unconsciously flashed a trace of panic in her eyes, and struggled hard in Yi Feiyang's arms: "Oh, God! Other...... Woo......"

After just one word, Yi Feiyang's lips had already blocked her red lips domineeringly, so that all the words below her were transformed into a long moan that shook her heart.

Encountering Yi Feiyang's sudden attack, Jessica's body suddenly stiffened. But within a few seconds, Yi Feiyang began to suck the sweet fragrance between her lips. Jessica suddenly felt as if his body had been sucked empty by Yi Feiyang, and instantly softened, and the heart also floated up leisurely, not knowing where he was.

If there was any gap between Yi Feiyang and Jessica before, then at this moment, Yi Feiyang was really emotional. The soft and warm feeling that came from Jessica's body made Yi Feiyang lose in an instant.

Knock open Jessica's closed lips, like a bee butterfly playing with the tender three-inch cloves......

Just when the two couldn't help but kiss, there was a creak, and the door of the office was pushed open, and the female secretary looked at the man and woman who were kissing in amazement.

Yi Feiyang hurriedly pushed Jessica away from his arms, and then said to Jessica very seriously, "Got it? This is the hot kiss in the play! Don't let me teach you how to act! ”

Jessica nodded cooperatively, and then slipped away like a little woman, not forgetting to glance at Yi Feiyang before slipping away...... Ogle!

Turning around, Yi Feiyang looked at the female secretary, "Ahem, why did you come in without knocking?" ”

"I knocked, but you didn't hear it, so I ......"

"Oh, that's right...... You also saw it just now, don't get me wrong, I'm teaching Jessica how to overcome psychological barriers and shoot kiss scenes......"

"Boss, you don't have to explain it to me."

"Did I explain? Nope! I'm just saying, by the way, what are you looking for me? ”

"Oh, here's the script that Mr. Tim Burton asked me to give you, and here's the plan for the release of Director Gore's new play......"

The female secretary handed over two things to Yi Feiyang.

Yi Feiyang nodded, "Well, okay, if there is nothing else, you can go out." ”

The female secretary smiled, and before going out, she suddenly turned back to Yi Feiyang and said, "Boss, if you are free, when will you teach me the kiss scene?" I'm a good learner! Hehe! ”

Yi Feiyang: "......" (to be continued......
