Heads Up Hollywood

This year's Oscars, "The Departed" has won Best Art Direction, Best Supporting Actress, Best Film Editing, Best Screenplay Adaptation, Best Cinematography, Best Actor and Best Director.

7 out of 10!

The hit rate is 70%!

There is no suspense for the last nomination - Best Picture Award.

"The Departed" of course not.

It can be said that this time Tang En and Martin Scorsese joined hands to create a classic film.

Although the number of awards cannot be compared with "Ben-Hur" and "Titanic", it is quite a commendable event to win 8 awards.

After the awards ceremony, there will be the official Oscar party as usual, as well as the Vanity Fair party.

As the biggest winner of this year's Oscars, the crew of "The Departed" must attend.

If you want to celebrate alone in another place, you must at least go through the process perfunctorily.

The importance of official parties is getting lower and lower. Most of the stars just showed up to express their respect for Oscar, and then left one after another.

The Vanity Fair party is the point!

There are more celebrities here!

Businessmen, politicians, lawyers, writers, singers, actors, wealthy families from New York, all kinds of people will appear.

This is a big social party.

Even with Tang En's status, he could benefit from the "Vanity Fair" party, let alone those ordinary filmmakers.

It's just that Tang En has already passed the stage of being shy and taking the initiative to strike up a conversation. His style is becoming more and more low-key, and he is becoming more and more rich.

It has to be said that with the increase in wealth and power, his personal quality is also gradually improving.

However, Tang En's current status is too high.

As a result, many people want to strike up a conversation, but there is no suitable reason.

Except for beautiful girls who are confident enough about their looks and body.

For example, this blond, tall, young girl named Blake Lively.

"Are you here with friends?"

Tang En changed his perfunctory attitude and started chatting with this girl, obviously very interested.

"No, it's my dad."

Blake Lively clearly sensed Tang En's intention of not refusing, so he was very excited and his eyes lit up.

"Your father?"

"Yes, Ernie Lively, a film director, made three films."

Ernie Lively?

Tang En shook his head, never heard of it.

However, the big beauty in front of me is still very famous, even at this stage, she seems to be a little young.

Tang En had enough experience in clichés, and said with a smile: "Come with Dad...Are you still at the age of guardianship?"

Blake Lively gritted his teeth: "If I persist for another 6 months, I will be liberated. At that time, I will definitely move out of the house."

okay.

There is still half a year to turn 18.

It seems that it is unrealistic to ask her out in the near future.

The two didn't chat for a few words when a man's voice came from behind.

"Mr. Film King, congratulations!"

Dare to call Tang En from such a long distance, the identity of the person who came must be not bad.

Tang En looked back, and it was Rupert Murdoch, the head of News Corporation.

There was no way, Tang En had to entertain, so he quickly said to Blake Lively: "You have a business card, leave one for me. When you become an adult, I will ask you...to watch a movie."

Blake Lively was a little unhappy about Murdoch's intervention, and said anxiously: "It's okay, I can go out to watch movies anytime..."

Tang En was stunned for a moment.

real or fake?

Not pretending to be pure?

When I say watching a movie, do you mean watching a movie?

Blake Lively is only a senior in high school and only graduated this summer, so he is not mature enough to go out into the society. Fortunately, he was smart enough to react quickly, and immediately blushed, pursed his lips and said embarrassingly, "I... I... Oh, okay. Actually, I can do it now..."

Tang En waved his hand and said grandly, "Didn't you say that you will move out after the age of 18? I just happen to have a few vacant houses in Los Angeles. If you don't mind, you can move here and live there, free of rent!"

Blake Lively is not stupid, how could he not understand the meaning of it?

But the girl's reserve couldn't resist Tang En's fame, she nodded subconsciously, "Okay... okay... oops, but I didn't bring my business card, why not..."

She hasn't officially debuted yet, so why do she need a business card? I just wanted to take out the lipstick from the bag and write down the number on Tang En's hand, and felt that this idea was really naive.

Seeing her flustered appearance, Tang En was a little funny, and waved his hand, "Okay, go meet other friends, and I will send someone to find you later."

Find me?

How to find it?

Do you know me?

You haven't even heard of my dad...

Just when Blake Lively was confused, Dunn turned around and walked towards Murdoch.

The more women you deal with, the less patience you have.

Far less important than the old man Murdoch.

"Hey, it's just a fluke!"

Tang En smiled and walked up to shake hands with him, expressing his attitude modestly.

In the past year, Tang En and Murdoch cooperated a lot and established a very good relationship.

However, in the next few years, I am afraid it will not be so harmonious.

Sure enough, Murdoch said calmly: "Why, I heard...you have a website? Is it the same type of community website as Myspace?"

Tang En waved his hands resentfully: "Don't mention it, isn't that my girlfriend, Natalie!"

"Um?"

Murdoch raised his pale eyebrows slightly.

Tang En said: "Didn't Natalie study at Harvard, and she has a lot of fame. She is an active member in the student union and student association, and she knows a lot of people. There was a kid who hacked into Harvard's official website and stole it because he built a website." The student information is about to be expelled from the school. My girlfriend couldn't stand it, so she begged me."

"Website? You mean Facebook?"

Murdoch seemed to understand something.

Tang En nodded and said: "Yes, it was that website, but it wasn't called Facebook at the time. Nat was a website user, and she couldn't bear to see her junior being expelled and ruining her life, so she wanted me to invest in it and really make this website a reality. Get it up. Mark...that's the dumb boy, Mark Zuckerberg, he's only 21 years old, he's just fucking..."

Murdoch obviously will not be easily fooled.

mess around?

If it's really nonsense, you Dunn will subsidize this new website with hundreds of millions of dollars in a year?

Undoubtedly, Tang En is intentionally supporting the Facebook website, and it will inevitably compete with Myspace in the social network in the future.

Tang En didn't want to get into an early confrontation with Murdoch, and continued to show weakness. He gritted his teeth and said, "You know, I am a member of Google's board of directors and one of the earliest investors. I originally wanted to promote the cooperation between Google and Facebook, but Google saw Without the strength of Facebook, it is said that it is looking for other partners.”

The corner of Murdoch's mouth moved, almost laughing.

Of course he knew about it.

Because Google already contacted him!

Google intends to establish a long-term relationship with Myspace for 3-5 years, and place a super large order. The value of the order involved is at least 500 million U.S. dollars, and the highest...may reach 1 billion U.S. dollars!

Such a super large order is really unheard of in traditional media!

The emerging media such as the Internet is really a big money burner!

In order to spread the market, we really don't treat money as money.

Murdoch is very satisfied with this, and seems to have seen the day when Myspace will become another major Internet giant with the "help" of Google.

At present, News Corporation has reached a preliminary agreement with the founder and board of directors of Myspace, and will acquire Myspace in its entirety for US$560 million.

Within 4 months, the transaction must be completed.

At that time, Myspace will have the strong brand and channel of News Corporation, and signed a large contract order with Google, and the take-off is just around the corner.

Facebook?

Really can not!

Murdoch said with a smile: "For business, it should be based on profit and not sentimental. Google's approach is in line with business logic. If it really cooperates with Facebook, it will be called a violation of business ethics."

Tang En suddenly opened his eyes wide, "Rupert, I heard what you said...why is something wrong? Google's partner, can't it be Myspace?"

Murdoch was very satisfied with Tang En's astonished expression. He smiled solemnly and said: "The acquisition of Myspace has not been completed, and Myspace's finances are still in a frozen state."

Tang En took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "Aren't you going to cooperate with Microsoft and Time Warner to carve up Yahoo?"

Murdoch said sternly: "Rumors. Even a giant like Yahoo, even if it is a combination of the three, it is difficult to crack. I don't know what Microsoft and Time Warner think. In short, News Corp. has no such plan."

A smile appeared in Tang En's heart.

So much the better!

...

"Dad, I saw Dunn just now!" Blake Lively said happily.

"Twain?"

Ernie Lively froze for a moment.

He never thought that his daughter could still reach the level of Dunn Walker... But when he saw his daughter's delicate and beautiful appearance, his heart suddenly felt sour.

Blake Lively raised his chin and said to himself, "Dad, I've made up my mind. I'm not going to study at Stanford anymore. I want to engage in acting."

Ernie Lively felt uncomfortable, "You didn't learn to act!"

Blake Lively said disapprovingly: "So what? Didn't I participate in your movie when I was 11 years old? I remember you praised me for my acting talent. In school, I was also the captain of the cheerleading team. I also played in the choir, which I have a talent for. Of course, it’s all thanks to your artistic gene.”

Ernie Lively was very speechless, frowned and said, "You know, I'm just a little-known independent filmmaker, and I was able to participate in this "Vanity Fair" party because of De Niro's relationship. You want to engage in acting... ...I can't help you enough."

Blake Lively said lightly: "No need, I have Twain."

"you!"

Ernie Lively almost vomited blood, stared and whispered, "Blake, do you know what this means?"

Blake Lively didn't care, turned his head, and said plausibly: "Anyway, when I'm eighteen, I'll move out of the house. Dad, you're too strict, I've grown up!"

This is the pain of raising a daughter!

Ernie Lively felt his heart bleed.
