Producer [American Entertainment]

As mentioned earlier, Edward's friend nicknamed "Glasses" is also a little famous in a circle on the Internet. This circle is called [Science Fiction Lovers], which is a sub-forum on Skype.

There are many sub-forums like [Science Fiction Enthusiasts] created for the same interest, and there are many on the Skype forum.As a forum currently in a monopoly position in the United States, the Skype forum brings together different young people from all over the country with various hobbies. Among them are star fans like Margaret and Lydia in New York, and there are also Tech geeks like Edward and his friend "Glasses".

In line with the purpose of the "free and open" forum, since the end of last year, the skype forum has introduced a new policy, as long as the number of people who declare a certain hobby exceeds 100, the skype forum will add a special sub-forum for it.

"Glasses" is one of the original administrators of [Science Fiction Fans].

At the very beginning when there was no Skype forum, the veterans of the [Science Fiction Enthusiasts] forum were just netizens who knew each other in the Skype discussion group and had a common interest in science fiction technology and other aspects.Later, after the new policy of the Skype forum appeared, someone in the group suddenly thought: "Hey, why don't we also create a science fiction sub-forum? It can not only find more like-minded people, facilitate discussion, but also share more video and picture resources."

The people in the discussion group, plus one or two other friends randomly picked up by the people in the group, the application of a hundred real-name registered users was quickly completed, and the [Science Fiction Enthusiasts] forum was in this very casual situation. built up.

No one expected that [Science Fiction Enthusiasts] would grow so fast and gain such a high degree of attention.

As one of the initiators, "Glasses" and his other friends were all stupid at the time.

When they were still in elementary and middle school, students like them who had good grades, wore glasses at a young age, and liked all kinds of fantasy stories, were always alone and easily became the targets of bullying by the seniors.This once made them feel that they are probably the only freaks like themselves in this world. They are so strange that no one else can tolerate them.

Later, when they went to college, they found that they were not alone. There were so many students from different continents in the United States, and they could always meet one or two people who had the same hobbies as themselves. At least they could form an interest group. club too.

Later, they had the Internet and Skype, and they could chat with more and more friends.

Finally, there is the [Science Fiction Enthusiasts] forum, which makes the "not lonely" reach its peak.They found out that there are so many like-minded people in English-speaking countries all over the world, and they are not freaks.The active number of sub-forums even jumped to the top three of the Skype forums, second only to various celebrity gossips.

"Technology has made the world smaller. I'm glad to meet you." ——This is what was written on the [Science Fiction Fans] forum.

What was once unpopular can now be very popular.It's like "glasses".The simplest example, his bet on the [Movie Gossip] sub-forum, was placed on the top of the [Science Fiction Fans] as quickly as possible, and attracted frenzied onlookers, and the page-turning speed of the post was terrifying.

【Movie Gossip】The forum also followed closely, putting the "glasses" betting post on the top.

When the two sub-forums with very large traffic and activity are actively paying attention to this matter, it is naturally impossible for the main skype forum not to pay attention.

then……

[Hey, "Glasses", you are on the home page, do you know that? 】This sentence has become the best opening line when greeting "Glasses" online recently. The online name of "Glasses" is "Glasses", and he feels that the glasses are his body.

The general Skype forum even launched an entertainment questionnaire - do you think "glasses" is telling the truth.

Later, the questionnaire developed into a small gamble that does not involve monetary interests. Those who win can get a certain percentage of forum coins, which are used to download some resources, and those who lose are deducted a little forum coins.A big gamble hurts the body, but a small gamble makes one feel better. Such a small gamble seems to have become the most concerned thing on the skype forum.If you don't know "Glasses" and his bet, you are not a qualified "skyper", as young people who often use Skype forums call themselves.

Soon, this "national" event of the largest forum was reported by the well-known friends of the Skype forum, Skype News and the "Chicago Sun".

The "glasses" really became popular, showing their face in front of the people of the United States, and even appeared in many entertainment newspapers in other English-speaking countries.

Of course, since this bet is more of an entertainment nature, the three-dimensional information of "Glasses" will not be published in the newspapers, and everyone knows only a netizen named "Glasses".

Many people think this is a good thing, and it can teach young people who are always big talkers a lesson, don't think that you can just talk freely on the Internet.

[Movie Gossip] The administrator of the forum, ML1966, used the skype account linked in the forum, and urgently knocked on the "glasses", all worried: [Before things get serious, should the bet be forgotten?I'm sorry, when I pinned it to the top, it was just for fun, and I didn't consider such a big consequence. 】"Glasses": 【It's okay, trust me.Because what I said is the truth, in fact, I suggest that you put some forum currency on me as soon as possible to ensure that you will make a steady profit without losing money. 】ML1966 is dubious. On the one hand, she feels that "Glasses" is too difficult to get off, and the other party will be more embarrassing in the future. She should persuade him in time; william.

she?Yes, ML1966 is a girl, two girls to be exact.Margaret and Lydia, this is their shared forum account, to commemorate their friendship.Recently, the two of them have become the administrators of the [Movie Gossip] they have dreamed of because of their extremely frightening activity. They can be seen everywhere, anytime, anywhere, after all, they are two people.

"Should we trust him?" Margaret turned to Lydia and asked Lydia. She and Lydia were sharing a computer. The intimacy of a computer.

"I want to believe him." Lydia said, "Anyway, if you lose, it's just a forum coin. If you win, maybe we can get William's signature."

This is a conversation that appeared in Margaret's memoirs many years later, and she called it the beginning of the most important friendship in her life with Lydia, an ordinary afternoon, an ordinary sentence .

The "Chicago Sun-Times" once again caught the attention of readers across the United States because of two bets.

One is the well-known "glasses" bet, and the other is a bet that only William and Samuel should have known - whether William can make a sci-fi movie with $[-].

"According to the information provided by a well-known and well-intentioned 'informant' of this reporter, Mr. William Theros is indeed planning to make a science fiction movie, but it is not sure whether it will be completed or will premiere in Venice. Ying. OK, the reporter of this newspaper must admit that I cheated and wanted to find out the truth about the 'glasses' bet in advance, so that I can earn more forum currency on skype. I really, really, really want a certain movie. The must-have resource for mosaic free movies.

"In the end, I didn't find the answer, but found such a bigger 'gamble', so I can't wait to share it with readers and friends.

"Don't ask who my informant is. For the news about Mr. William, I can only rely on him for a living, so...but the source is absolutely reliable."

The publicity foreshadowing that William had planted in the office with Samuel a long time ago finally came into play today.Even if it is a niche science fiction film, he will never let go of any opportunity to make it occupy the attention of the public.

On September 9, the Venice International Film Festival will be grandly opened on Lido Island in Venice, Italy.

William attended the red carpet of the premiere of the opening ceremony with Neal, the leading actress of "The Man From Earth", Field and the director Mig, and it was the finale.

Because "The Man From Earth" is the opening film of this Venice Film Festival.

"Glasses" won.

As the earliest of the three major international film festivals in Europe, the Venice Film Festival is known as the "Father of International Film Festivals".During its golden age, it sent the world a number of excellent European directors, including Wheeler.What the film festival encourages is innovation, whether it is shooting techniques or film content, sometimes even willing to give up the "best" for this "novelty".

The purpose of the Venice Film Festival is - film for serious art.

Earthman is enough to meet the standard of "novelty". Therefore, when William, who was still involved in the filming of 007 in Cortina d'Ampezzo at the end of May, sent the unfinished prototype of Earthman to the jury. , the committee that just started preparing for the 38th Venice Film Festival finalized Earthman as the screening film for the opening ceremony.

Therefore, people on earth are eligible to participate in this year's Venice Film Festival.

However, there are actually not many finalists for the people on earth. To be precise, there are only two awards. One is that the Oscar queen Field was shortlisted for Best Actress, and the other is the Golden Lion Award representing the best film.

Field is full of ambitions for this unexpected shortlist, and he is determined to win.She really wanted to win a European actress who represented the pinnacle of art films, which would give her a different pinnacle in her career.Competing with Field was also "Laughing", which William had just watched not long ago, but Audrey, who was a supporting actress, was definitely not the nominee.Hepburn.

William, on the other hand, has no hope of winning the best film. After all, among the contenders for Earthlings, there are "German Sisters", a deep art film that is more popular in the selection process, and the fateful "Two Smoking Barrels".

"This only shows that your probability of winning the prize is higher than others." MiG comforted William, and he really felt so.In fact, MiG was also very nervous. After all, this was the first film he directed independently in his life, but because he was distracted and worried about William, his own nervousness seemed less important.

"I think the biggest possibility is that the two will be out together." It's not that William is pessimistic, but reality.

This time, the pedigree of the smoking gun crew will no longer bring it the good luck of Berlin, Germany and Cannes, France.To be honest, after winning two European awards in a row, in order to maintain balance, it is impossible to give the third award to the smoking gun anyway.As for the crew of Earthlings, they didn't even have Wheeler, so there was basically no need to think about it.

"Hey!" Queen Fields elbowed William and joked, "Aren't I famous?"

"It's just because you're so famous that I worry about it." The Venice Film Festival is likely to keep the balance by awarding the best actress to Feld and then awarding the Golden Lion to "German Sisters", which is a lot of film festivals. Often play means too.

Sure enough, the best actress was called Field's name.

William completely gave up the little spark of hope in his heart.When the guest presenting the Golden Lion announced the name of "German Sisters", he was not too surprised.

but……

Just as William was pondering whether to fly directly to Sicily to find Aunt Elizabeth for dinner, or to go again tomorrow, the award presenter announced another name.

"William. Mr. Theros? Didn't you come? Did I have hallucinations because I love you so much?" The guest joked at William.

Only then did William get up under the reminder of MiG, hugged MiG and the crew one by one, and then went to the stage with MiG to accept the award.William has an impeccable and elegant expression on his face, but his heart is still in disbelief. He won the award?So what happened to "German Sisters" just now?

When William and the crew of "German Sisters" both held the cup, he realized that the Venice Film Festival, a "terrible" film festival, sometimes set up double golden lions.

Aunt Elizabeth said that my father and son cannot always be prettier than before.

Cousin Sabatino said, damn it, if William doesn't come back, I'm going to find him!must go!This is so torturous!

The author has something to say: *The Venice Film Festival did have an example of awarding double Golden Lions.

*The name of the administrator "ML1966" is different from the last chapter ＿(:з」∠)＿Because the stupid author doesn't know why, I always thought that Lydia's English is Y, but it actually starts with L. I will revise the last chapter tomorrow BUG.
