Chapter 431: Turn of the century

Compared with previous years, the seventy-second Oscar awards ceremony means more cakes. No film can get more than four statuettes. The seemingly most successful "American Beauty" is at the last moment. Lost the most important best film.

In the past, when a movie dominated the Oscars, it would attract fierce criticism from the media. This method of dividing pork would also arouse criticism from the public opinion.

To put it simply, the media don’t care who is the winner or how many awards a certain film can get. What they want is just a topic of hype. As long as the media that attracts attention and claims to represent the public’s voice, the winners can be won. The heavens can also make them worthless.

Under normal circumstances, those who have not won the award will not only not be criticized, but they can also earn a lot of sympathy points.

If this frustrated person is one of the hottest spots before the awards ceremony, and he himself has a huge influence in the United States, then there will definitely be a voice of grievances in the media afterwards.

"The judges who can determine the ownership of the Oscar Performance Award have never liked young people. This can be seen from their attitude towards Ryan. They would rather award the best film to Jenkins Pictures as a consolation. I don’t want Oscar to give birth to a best actor who is only twenty years old."

"The college claims that it is carrying out rejuvenation reforms. What is the effect of the reforms? Maybe they will not admit it, but it has to be said that the core members of the college have always maintained an'old school' style, indulging in the golden age and reluctant to sober In their eyes. Ryan is still young and can continue to wait. For this reason, they even turned a blind eye to the merits of this young man!"

"Looking at the past history of Hollywood, we don’t know who achieved Ryan’s achievements at the age of 20. He was nominated for four consecutive best actor, created and starred in films that broke all the box office records that could be broken, and he was young. Light but it seems to be solid and mature, and has always maintained a professional spirit and a responsibility beyond age!"

"Can these judges really not see it? The Polish artist wandering in the ruins really can't impress them? Or did they habitually choose to ignore it?"

"Under the situation where 70% of the Oscar judges are over 60 years old, it is conceivable that young people want to win heavyweight awards. A group of people born in the 40s and 50s. Of course, the honor they value does not include handsome and Young, with wrinkles engraved on their foreheads and white hair on the temples are their favorite!"

"Although this suggestion is a bit outrageous, we still have to say,'Ryan, leave the Oscar for the time being, and wait for the best actor in the Oscar after the age of thirty! Otherwise. Even if you have achieved age-old maturity in film You can’t stand on the spire of the film industry because the decisive factor is not the film and the character itself, but the age that you can’t make up for no matter how hard you work.”

The Los Angeles Times pointed the criticism at the old and conservative of the college, and their remarks are very representative of the voices of the media.

"Among the young actors born in the 1970-1980 period. Ryan is definitely one of the best acting people, even the best one. His role in "The Pianist" is amazing. The character of the role's anxiety and explosiveness is shown in detail. He is indeed a very talented actor. He can always provide convincing performances. Oscar did not choose him. It can only be said that it is irreparable. regret!"

The "New York Times" remarks are relatively calm.

As for the reaction of the fans, perhaps four consecutive times of being rude to the best actor, most fans have begun to get used to it. Although there are not a few people who abuse the Academy on the Internet, there has been no protest like last year.

Of course, Ryan asked the agency team to post comforting and self-deprecating remarks on his personal website as soon as the Oscars ended, which also played a lot of role.

After all, a lot of criticism and sympathy in the media are inseparable from his public relations. If there are large-scale protests in reality and on the Internet, it is likely to be counterproductive and attract dissatisfaction and disgust from the college.

Public opinion must grasp the degree, and Ryan knows this well.

He just wanted the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences to remember that you have owed me a lot in the past four years...

Ryan left all these matters to the team behind him to handle. After several years of training, they knew how to grasp the degree. However, he himself, after returning from the UK, focused most of his eyes on On the Nasdaq stock market, it is definitely very interesting to witness the end of another golden age in the United States.

Perhaps it is the influence of deep-rooted religious culture. At the turn of the century or when the new millennium comes, Western society, especially North America, where liberalism is flooded, will always have a variety of inexplicable rumors, and the protagonists of these rumors are often A catastrophe capable of destroying human society.

After entering the 1990s, the development of computers and the prosperity of the Internet have made the two penetrate into every corner of American society. I don’t know where the rumors come from. The term millennium bug has become the most popular topic in the millennium. A considerable number of Americans They are all worried about whether a nuclear bomb controlled by a computer will be suddenly launched because of the millennium bug and eventually become the chief culprit in destroying the world.

So movies about the millennium bug came into being. Even if humanity is about to be destroyed, Hollywood can seize the business opportunities and make a fortune.

This is the characteristic of the media industry. Instead of believing that media professionals have a conscience, it is better to believe that politicians will tell the truth.

The facts soon proved that this was another unnecessary worry. When the bell of the new millennium rang, the crystal ball on Times Square fell, the expected nuclear explosion did not occur, the whole world was operating as usual, and Hollywood was still drunk.

After these worries dissipated, the rumored protagonist computer and the Internet have once again become the focus of attention in the United States, because the Nasdaq is performing miracles time and time again, and there are countless investors in IT stocks getting rich overnight.

Greed is one of human nature. When one U.S. dollar becomes twenty U.S. dollars, investors will not choose enough, but want to turn twenty U.S. dollars into 10,000 U.S. dollars. The skyrocketing Nasdaq index seems to make this Everything seems to be extremely easy.

If it wasn't for knowing the ending in advance, even Ryan himself couldn't guarantee that when faced with such a temptation, he would start letting go a year in advance.

In fact, many investors know that the stock market is abnormal now, but they are bewildered by the huge immediate benefits. They always believe that the stock market's frenzy will last for several years, and there will never be a crash in a short period of time...

"Last month we all got rid of it."

The new week is here, and in a large office in Burbank, Scott smiled and said to Ryan, "Except for the short money, we are now outsiders."

"Don't be too greedy, don't attract too many people's attention." Ryan put down the coffee cup in his hand, "It's the old way. The funds are distributed to all foundation accounts. Don't make too many actions during this period, regardless of Wall Street. Whatever we do, we can just watch."

If there is no shadow of the Wall Street conglomerate behind the Nasdaq, I am afraid that even Satan would not believe it.

Strictly speaking, Ryan and Scott's approach can be regarded as grabbing cakes from Wall Street. Although they have done it very secretly, they have changed hands since last year, and even many popular stocks that are rising rapidly are sold to Wall Street. People who have touched other people’s cakes, it’s impossible without paying a price.

Scott has always had close ties with Wall Street. Under Ryan's instruction, he has reached some agreements with the major Jewish groups on Wall Street.

Since last month, Pixar Studios and Jenkins Pictures have conducted a new round of financing, and Ryan has accepted their investment.

People who know how to share will always be more popular than those who eat alone, and Ryan's future plans will also require the support of Wall Street. The resources they hold are far from what any rich man or group company can match.

Although the shares held by Ryan will inevitably be diluted to less than 50%, plus the shares held by Nicole, the second largest shareholder, still firmly holds the controlling rights.

Besides, those people are just investments, and as long as the company can benefit, they will not jump out and make unnecessary interventions.

"Time should not be far away."

Hearing Scott's emotion, Ryan nodded in agreement.

As early as mid-March, the Nasdaq index had a slight decline, but most people believed that this was a normal self-adjustment of the market. Things seemed to be what they expected, and it ended on Oscar night. The next day, Cisco’s stock price rose by 0.86%, and its total stock value exceeded US$550 billion, thus surpassing Microsoft in one fell swoop and sitting on the throne of global market value.

The stock market is full of joy ~ www.novelhall.com ~ Analysts believe that Cisco's becoming the world's most valuable company is another important sign of the advent of the Internet age, and it is expected to become the world's first company with a market value of more than one trillion US dollars.

The previous view may be correct, but the latter is obviously advocating.

When Scott first started negotiating with Cisco last year, the company’s market value was only more than 200 billion U.S. dollars. In just half a year, it surpassed GM, stepped on Microsoft, and became the world’s largest company in market value. Are there really so many real assets?

According to the preliminary conclusion of Ryan’s research and consulting company, Cisco’s actual assets will not exceed 50 billion US dollars at most, and the rest is a bubble. Although Cisco’s helm John Chambers continues to advocate that his company has a bright future, things have come. Now, it has long been beyond the control of Cisco's board of directors.

If you look at the current situation, the price that Ryan sold at that time was extremely uneconomical, but the shares he held the most were Yahoo and Cisco shares. If they were not sold in time and delayed until this year, throwing them on the market would definitely cause a problem. In a disaster, not to mention how much money can be recovered, I am afraid he himself will become a public enemy of the IT industry and Wall Street. (To be continued.
