The perfect choice - Nicole Kidman is crowned Oscar winner for the third time.

After reading the title, Ryan looked at the mother and daughter sitting next to him, Do you still want to listen?

Nicole shrugged her shoulders, gently poked Sandy's back with her slender fingers, looked curiously at the little golden man's daughter and nodded, Dad... please... continue.

Do you understand what I'm talking about? Ryan pointed to the statuette again, Do you know what this is?

I don't know. Sandy immediately shook her head.

After shaving the little guy's face, Ryan picked up today's newspaper again. The eye-catching position on it was almost all occupied by the news of the Oscars ceremony last night. This is a hype opportunity that the media never misses every year.

Acting superstar Nicole Kidman won the Oscar for Best Actress as she wished. This is a perfect result that most people can be satisfied with. The Oscar judges made a correct but not difficult choice.

Seeing Nicole's crooked eyes, Ryan couldn't help laughing. Although Nicole had been very restrained at the awards ceremony, she was extremely excited when she returned home last night. After all, she has become a true legend.

Discarding memories of last night's madness, Ryan read on, Let the invincible Meryl Streep take her Oscar nominations to fifteen, a great feat, and nearly Nicole Kidman, who has been shining like a star for more than ten years, is placed on the throne of the actress for the third time, so that everyone has their own place, and the academy has created records and created legends.

Legendary? Sandy blinked his curious blue eyes, obviously not understanding the specific meaning of the word, Mummy, can I eat...Legendary?

It's an honor. Ryan put the newspaper on the coffee table and hugged his daughter. Just as Sunny is the smartest kid, legend is other people's compliments on Mommy.

oh……

I don't know if the little guy understood, but she just nodded mechanically. Then he threw the glittering Oscar on the couch and jumped off Ryan with struggle. He took his hand and shook it, Mummy, Dad, the garden... I want to go.

Okay. Ryan bent down and raised a finger at the little guy, but you have to walk over by yourself.

Ah... The little guy bit his finger and thought for a few seconds, Okay.

Out the back door of the villa. Sandy walked in the front, Ryan and Nicole held hands, and walked unhurriedly behind, entering the remodeled garden.

As Sandy grows older, there are many children's entertainment facilities such as small swings and seesaws. Being born in this kind of family means that Sandy's childhood cannot be spent like most children. However, both Ryan and Nicole are well aware of this.

Not long after walking, the little guy forgot what he just said. She started to play tricks, after all, she was not yet three years old, and she couldn't walk a long way. Ryan picked her up and walked into the outdoor playground, put her on the thick air cushion, and let her bounce and roll on it.

There were footsteps coming from the villa. Taylor, who was wearing casual clothes, moved her amazingly long legs and was walking towards this side. Before she could get close, Sandy grabbed Ryan's clothes and stood swaying. up.

Sister, sister, she called out over there, Taylor. Taylor.

Hi, Sunny. Taylor walked over quickly. do you miss me?

En! The little guy nodded seriously.

You are getting cuter.

After speaking, Taylor is like a child who hasn't grown up. Jumping on the air cushion, jumping and jumping with Sandy, the two of them quarreled for a few minutes before they stopped.

Don't you have to work today? Ryan asked.

I just came from Disney Animation Studios. Taylor hugged Sandy and sat cross-legged on the air cushion. Elsa sang more than one song. I used to discuss the music style with the crew, and I need to prepare two more episodes.

Ryan nodded. The project of Frozen Adventure went quite smoothly. Since the images of Anna and Elsa were determined, Disney Animation Studios quickly entered the substantive production stage, although it is still far from the actual completion. It's been a long time, but compared to the sluggish Pixar studio, the progress has been quite satisfactory.

According to the plan, Pixar Studios will release one animated feature film every year in recent years. This year's Up, next year's Toy Story 3, and the next year's Cars 2.

Especially the last one, it is almost destined to be a money-making machine.

Since the launch of Cars, even if the global box office of the film is not counted, only the peripherals and derivatives, this series has brought Walt Disney more than 2 billion US dollars in revenue so far, and it is definitely a boy's pocket money killer.

Back in the villa, Ryan put the statuette that Sandy threw casually on the sofa into the glass showcase, which was full of awards such as the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress, among which the most important ones were naturally three Best Actress statuette.

This is definitely a great achievement.

Only Ryan himself knew that he hadn't made a slip of the tongue. This was a promise that had lasted for twenty years.

He finally pushed Nicole to a position far higher than before, and completely became a legend in Hollywood. When the public recalled the period of the 1990s and the beginning of the 21st century in the past few decades, the first The first actress that comes to mind must be Nicole. She not only has awards, but also has a box office that other award-winning actresses can't even match.

Even Julia Roberts, another representative actress of the same period, was left far behind by Nicole.

I will focus more on producing films in the future.

Nicole's words came from the sofa, Unless there is a character you really like, otherwise...

If I could get my hands on an eight-seat phonograph at a time. Taylor was smart enough to understand the ramifications of the situation, and I'd quit pop and go into business.

Sanny. She pressed her forehead against Sandy's forehead, We will join forces to fight those villains who bully others.

Yes! Sandy said immaturely, The villain... Let's defeat it together, sister.

As the Oscars ceremony came to an end, Hollywood's 2008 was completely over, and those films that sold well at the box office did not accidentally miss the Oscars.

The North American and global box office champions in 2008 belonged to Transformers 2. Corresponding to the global box office, there are peripheral products whose sales are infinitely close to these two figures.

The second place still belongs to Disney. Iron Man 2 surpassed Raiders of the Lost Ark 4 co-produced by George Lucas and Steven Spielberg with 832.58 million US dollars, and won the North American and global box office The position of double runner-up on the list.

Although Raiders of the Lost Ark 4 has the same professional reputation as Transformers 2, it easily won the third place in the North American box office list with US$317.1 million.

Although the financial crisis has had a considerable impact on the film industry, last year's North American box office still showed a growth momentum, and the total box office exceeded the $10 billion mark for the first time in history, excluding the contribution of a series of commercial blockbusters In addition, I have to say the two dark horses The Weakness and Twilight.

Half a month after the Oscars ceremony, the former was released from across the board in North America, and the final North American box office stayed above 301.25 million US dollars. It was definitely the biggest dark horse in the North American film market last year. Unfortunately, this film did not do well overseas. Until now Its overseas box office is less than 100 million U.S. dollars, and it is still unknown whether the global box office will eventually exceed 400 million U.S. dollars.

The latter performed equally well, with a North American box office of US$197.52 million and an overseas box office of US$198.84 million, enough to make Disney laugh.

The continuous strong performance of the films produced by Walt Disney will not only arouse the envy of others, but also arouse the envy and dissatisfaction of some people. It is not that there are no people who have secretly played tricks in recent years, but in the face of Disney's powerful strength, there is no play too much role.

This time is no exception. After the Oscars, some media began to say that they could not target Disney’s normal film production and distribution, and there was nothing to criticize, but aimed at the emerging Internet media market, especially video sites.

It is definitely the leading online video website in the world, even accounting for more than 70% of the market share in North America. Among the rest, the Hulu website jointly established by Disney and 20th Century Fox will be divided into half, and Disney will rule the Internet video It is not an exaggeration to describe the current situation of this industry as an industry.

Monopoly, a minefield that North American business groups are trying to avoid, is undoubtedly the best reason to deal with Disney's online video business.

Many tabloids seem to have got some hints, and they are vaguely spreading gossip that the federal government is preparing to launch an anti-monopoly investigation on Disney's related businesses.

Fortunately, there is no such voice in the mainstream media. Disney also has the political power of sponsorship. The exact news Ryan got is just a rumor. The federal government has no plans to launch an anti-monopoly investigation on this business, at least currently there is not.

It is difficult to find out where this rumor originated, and Ryan is also paying attention to the dynamics of those former communities of interest that have now become loose alliances and competitors.

For the benefit, those people can stand with him and covertly protect him through the most vulnerable period of underage; and the interests that are tempting enough can also make them turn against him and stand on the opposite side of him.

In the process of such a crazy rise of Disney, it will inevitably touch the interests of many people. (to be continued)
