Chapter 561 Backdoor
Whether a vase can win an Oscar depends on which vase it is and who is behind it.

Ordinary Hollywood vase actors, if they want to transform from vases to acting schools and change the impression of the Oscar judges, it will take time, energy and other things, not a single star.

It may even be that the more beautiful she was before, the greater the contrast on the screen, just like the South African diamond Charlize Theron, when she first debuted on the screen, she was the dream lover of countless men around the world. Well, it was because of her plastic surgery acting skills in "The Devil", that she finally won the favor of those academic old men.

Rather than saying that Charlize Theron won, it would be better to say that the freckled, toothy, bloated, messy-haired woman in "The Devil" won the award, which is actually not the same as Charlize Theron. It doesn't matter much, and this is the "acting skill" in the eyes of the academic judges, basically it has nothing to do with the actor himself.

Coincidentally, the one who won the Oscar in the same way is Leonardo, who has been walked for decades and turned from a small plum to an old Li. He also relied on drilling the belly of a horse and eating raw beef liver. After tossing and dying, he finally won the Oscar. It is conceivable what the taste of those old men who are academically styled is.

But with Jenny's current acting skills, it is estimated that even if she changes her image on the screen, she may not be able to catch the eyes of the Oscar judges.

In addition to changing yourself, another way to win an Oscar is public relations. In this regard, the Weinstein brothers are unique. I don’t know how many Oscar movies have failed in front of Harvey Weinstein. .

If Jenny wants to win the Oscar, it is estimated that she has to rely on the latter. If someone else said it and let Jenny win the award, it might be just a joke, but if it is said in Song Yang's mouth, it might not be too much. It means that if Song Yang is really willing to spend money, it is really possible to help Jenny "buy" a trophy from the Oscars. In America, even the Oscars can be measured with dollars!
Jenny's return made Song Yang's villa more noisy. Song Yang also put down his things and hung out with Jenny for a few days, which was regarded as a vacation.

Jenny returned from Los Angeles, and the "Matrix" crew was still busy, with editing, soundtrack, post-production, announcement, etc. all in full swing.

In a few days, "The Matrix 1" will enter the theaters. The Wachowski brothers, the directors of the Matrix crew, also began to edit the new front section and put it on the advertisement.

During the previous Super Bowl, the advertisement of The Matrix was posted, but this time it started a large-scale hype. Various tweets about the Matrix movie appeared on TV stations, newspapers, and magazines.

The director released tidbits, and the leading actor Keanu Reeves also cooperated and began to spread some rumors with the female leading actor. Even the tabloid media, which has always caused headaches for Hollywood stars, became active.

Tabloid media also have their role, and they are definitely not good for serious publicity, but they are good at concocting topics and focus.

All kinds of news that lead to war, come up with all kinds of "Matrix" movies and starring rumors and scandals, mobilize public opinion, and concoct news that the box office prospects of Matrix movies are not good, no one will watch them, and then those big media Rebuttal.

Once you come and go, the heat will rise. These are routine operations. Hollywood has summed up a complete set of ways to guide public opinion for so many years. The more people there are, the higher the popularity will be. Even those who criticize the movie and those who support the movie may be the same group...

As an investor in the "Matrix" movie, Western Films is still a newcomer, and it's a little unfamiliar with how to operate it. However, as a partner, publicist, and distributor of this movie, it has a lot of experience.

Long before the filming started, the Matrix crew reached an agreement with DreamWorks, Miramax, and Paramount, which can be regarded as the western film industry paying homage to the hills of Hollywood.

The production team of The Matrix is ​​from DreamWorks, and the promotional party is Miramax, that is, the award-winning work is handed over to the Weinstein Brothers, and the distribution rights are given to Paramount Pictures.

So after the filming of The Matrix was completed, Miramax and Paramount began to promote and distribute The Matrix. During this process, Western Pictures must have paid a lot of money, but these are all tuition fees. If you don't pay some tuition fees, how can you learn Hollywood routines and gain a foothold in Hollywood!

The popularity of "The Matrix" is increasing visible to the naked eye in Hollywood and the public opinion industry in America. Major movie theaters have begun to put up promotional posters of the movie one after another.

As lively as "The Matrix", there is also Wall Street. Suddenly, there are several pieces of explosive news on Wall Street.

The biggest one, of course, is that "sources" revealed that General Electric is going to acquire Honeywell Group.

When the news broke out, before GE made an official offer to Honeywell, it was difficult to check whether it was someone inside GE who broke the news, or Honeywell did it.

However, the move of the breaking news party to release the news in advance made General Electric a little passive. The purchase price of 400 billion US dollars made this news the headline of the global financial news that day.

However, it’s not that no one is robbing General Electric for food. As soon as the news came out, United Technologies Corporation of America announced that it would join in the acquisition of Honeywell, and sent people to rush towards the Honeywell Group without stopping. The merger of the century has added a bit of suspense.

Who broke the news about General Electric, Song Yang does not know, but one thing is certain, anyway, the person who released this news just wanted to add some trouble to General Electric, and did not want General Electric to go so smoothly. The acquisition of Honeywell, as to whether it was done by a few people competing for the position of the head of General Electric, it depends on what Mr. Welch thinks.

In addition to General Electric’s quotation to Honeywell with more than 400 billion US dollars, the other thing that attracted the attention of Silicon Valley and Wall Street was that ICQ officially applied for listing on Nasdaq!

This is considered to be another gluttonous feast in the Internet industry. The valuation of ICQ is much higher than that of Yahoo, which is the number one Internet stock with a market capitalization of over US$[-] billion.

ICQ has the world's largest social platform, and there is also a new TV station called ICNC, which can be regarded as a model of new Internet media, and its valuation is naturally scary.

However, along with this news, there is another piece of bad news related to ICQ. The rumored internal strife in ICQ ended with the splitting of the Xueleshan game department!
