Chapter 431 Turn of the Century

Compared with previous years, the 72nd Academy Awards ceremony has a stronger meaning of dividing the cake. No film can win more than four golden statuettes. It seems that the most successful American Beauty, but at the last moment, Throwing away the best picture at the top of the list.

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 public opinion.

To put it simply, the media don't care who wins the award or how many awards a certain movie can get. All they want is a topic of hype. As long as it can attract attention, the media that claims to represent the voice of the public can hold the winners to the top. Heaven, you can also make them worthless.

Under normal circumstances, the losers who did not win the award, not only will not be criticized, but also win a lot of sympathy points.

If this loser is one of the hottest hits before the awards ceremony, and he himself has a huge influence in the United States, then there will definitely be a voice in the media for him afterward.

The judges, who can decide the Oscar for acting, have never liked young people, and this is evident from their attitude towards Ryan, who would rather award the best picture to Jenkins as a consolation, and I don't want Oscar to give birth to a best actor who is only 20 years old.

The academy claims to be carrying out youth reform, what is the effect of the reform? Maybe they won't admit it, but it has to be said that the core members of the academy have always maintained an 'old-fashioned' style, indulging in the golden age of the past and unwilling to sober up , in their eyes. Ryan is still young and can wait. For this reason they even turn a blind eye to the merits of this young man!

Breaking down Hollywood's past history, we don't know who did what Ryan did at the age of 20, nominated for four consecutive Best Actor nominations, created and starred in films that broke all box office records that could be broken, young Light but practical and mature, he has always maintained a professional spirit and a responsibility beyond his age!

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

With 70% of the Oscar judges over 60 years old, it is conceivable for young people to win heavyweight awards, a group of people born in the 40s and 50s. Of course, the honors they value will not include handsomeness and beauty. Young people, with wrinkles on their foreheads and white hair on the temples, are their favorites!

As outrageous as this advice is, let's say, 'Ryan, leave the Oscars for now and wait until you're 30 before you can compete for Best Actor! Otherwise. The achievements of the film industry cannot 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 try'!

The Los Angeles Times pointed the finger at the old school and conservative,

Their remarks are representative of the voices made by the media.

Among the young male actors born in the 1970-1980s. Ryan is definitely one of the best acting, arguably the best, and his role in The Pianist is astonishing and will The character's terrifying and explosive character is shown meticulously. He is indeed a very talented actor. He can always provide a convincing performance. Oscar did not choose him. It can only be said that it is irreparable. Pity!

The New York Times' remarks were relatively muted.

As for the reaction of the fans, it may be that they have been disrespectful at the Best Actor Award for the fourth time in a row. Most fans have also become accustomed to it. Although there are many people who abuse the Academy on the Internet, there is no protest like last year.

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

After all, many criticisms and sympathetic remarks 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 backfire, causing dissatisfaction and resentment from the college.

It is necessary to grasp the degree of public opinion, and Ryan knows this.

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

All these things, Ryan handed over to the team behind him to deal with. After several years of tempering, they knew how to grasp the degree of it, and he himself, after returning from the UK, focused most of his eyes on It is definitely very interesting to witness the end of another golden age in the United States on the Nasdaq stock market.

Perhaps it is the influence of deep-rooted religious culture. At the turn of the century or the advent of the new millennium, there will always be all kinds of inexplicable rumors in Western society, especially in North America where liberal ideas are flooded. 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 worried that the nuclear bomb controlled by the computer will be suddenly launched because of the Millennium Bug and eventually become the culprit that destroys the world.

So the movie about the millennium bug came into being, even if human beings are about to be destroyed, Hollywood can seize the business opportunity and make a lot of money.

This is the nature of the media industry. It is better to believe that politicians will tell the truth than to believe that the people in the media have conscience.

Facts soon proved that this was another needless worry. When the bell of the new millennium rang, the crystal ball in Times Square fell, the expected nuclear explosion did not happen, the whole world continued to operate as usual, and Hollywood was still drunk.

After these worries dissipated, the computer and the network, the protagonists of the rumors, once again became the focus of attention in the United States, because the Nasdaq was performing miracles again and again, and investors in IT stocks became rich overnight.

Greed is one of human nature. When one dollar becomes twenty dollars, investors will not choose to stop, but want to turn twenty dollars into ten thousand dollars. The skyrocketing Nasdaq index seems to make this happen. Everything seems to be very easy.

If he didn't know the ending in advance, even Ryan himself couldn't guarantee that when faced with such a temptation, he would be able to start letting go a year in advance.

In fact, many investors know that the stock market is not normal now, but they are confused by the huge immediate benefits. They always believe that the frenzy of the stock market can last for several years, and there will never be a collapse in a short period of time...

We just let it all go in the last month.

A new week has come, and in a large office in Burbank, Scott smiled and said to Ryan, Apart from the little money that was bought short, 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 still the old way, the funds are spread into the accounts of all foundations, don't do too much action during this time, regardless of Wall Street. Whatever we do, we can just watch.

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

Strictly speaking, Ryan and Scott’s approach can be regarded as stealing the cake from Wall Street. Although they are very secretive, they have changed their hands since last year, and even many popular stocks that are rising rapidly are sold to Wall Street. It is impossible to move someone else's cake without paying a price.

Scott has always been in close contact with Wall Street. Under Ryan's advice, he has reached some agreements with several major Jewish groups on Wall Street.

Beginning last month, Pixar Studios and Jenkins Films conducted a new round of financing, and Ryan accepted the investment from them.

People who know how to share will always be more popular than those who eat alone, and Ryan's future plans also need the support of the power from Wall Street. The resources in their hands are far beyond what any rich person or group company can match.

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

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

The time should not be far away.

Hearing Scott's emotion, Ryan nodded in agreement.

Back in mid-March, the Nasdaq had a slight dip, but most believed it was a normal market self-correction, and things seemed to be going as they expected, just as Oscar night ended The next day, Cisco's stock price rose 0.86%, and its stock value exceeded 550 billion US dollars, thus surpassing Microsoft in one fell swoop and sitting on the throne of the world's largest market capitalization.

The stock market rejoiced, and analysts said Cisco's emergence as the world's most valuable company was another sign of the advent of the Internet age, and it is expected to become the world's first trillion-dollar company.

The former point of 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 US dollars. In just half a year, it surpassed GM, stepped on Microsoft, and became the world's largest company by market value. Are there really so many real assets?

According to the preliminary conclusion of Ryan's investigation 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 constantly preaches that his company has a bright future, but things have arrived. It is now beyond the control of Cisco's board of directors.

According to the current situation, the price that Ryan sold at that time was extremely uneconomical, but he held the most shares in Yahoo and Cisco. If he did not sell it in time and dragged it out until this year, throwing it into the market would definitely cause a shock. A disaster, not to mention how much money can be recovered, I am afraid that he himself will become the public enemy of the IT industry and Wall Street. (To be continued.
