Compared with previous years, the 79th Academy Awards Ceremony seemed much quieter. At least on the day of the awards ceremony, there were not so many protest teams around Kodak Theater.

In previous years, protests of hundreds of people representing different groups or organizations were normal.

In some years, thousands of protesters have not been seen.

However, this time, it seems that the Oscars are less suspenseful and there are fewer protest groups.

Relativity Entertainment received multiple nominations, and Ronan also came to the award ceremony, but did not walk on the red carpet, but went straight into the VIP room from the side door of the Kodak Theater.

As soon as he entered the VIP room, he received a text message.

"I wish you success tonight!"

The text message was sent by Jessica Felton. She was filming in Latin America with the crew of "Fast and Furious 4". All scenes are expected to end in early March and return to Los Angeles to start post-production.

Because the crew encountered some unexpected situations in Trinidad and Tobago during the filming, the filming that could have ended at the end of February was postponed to early March.

During this period, Ronan went to the set to visit the class twice, and Jessica Felton also returned to Los Angeles. The two basically had a phone call once every three days.

But the topic between the two is more focused on work.

Jessica Felton is no different from usual. With his own abilities, he is full of work and study and accumulation. Ronan is relatively cautious, because once he takes this step and fails to succeed, the relationship between the two parties may even break down.

Besides, I have known each other for so many years, and I am not in a hurry to have some things.

It's not too late to wait for Jessica Felton to return to Los Angeles.

Ronan replied with a text message: Tonight will be the Oscars ceremony.

The two films "The Walker of the Infernal Affairs" and "Superman" have extremely low chances of unpopularity.

Just as he put away his phone, Ronan felt the shock again, thinking that Jessica Felton had replied to the text message, took it out and found that it was a spam text message.

This text message is very common. If you notify Ronan that he won the jackpot, please call xxxxx.

With the rapid development of the information industry, the frequency of receiving such text messages is getting higher and higher, and even Ronan is inevitable.

It will be even more crazy in the future.

There was a time when Ronan made a special statistics on the other side of the Pacific Ocean.

At that time, due to work, his personal information was leaked very seriously and he often received various fraudulent information or phone calls.

Luo Nan kept some of it and counted it. In just fifteen months, he won 33 cumulative cash prizes, with a total amount of more than 16 million soft girl coins.

There are also many winnings in physical categories, with at least a dozen kidney machines, five or six cars, and even houses.

Even the court summons and police arrest notices have been received.

I still remember the first time I received the so-called police call, I was so scared that I lost half of my soul. Fortunately, I was very careful, otherwise the money in the card would be someone else's.

"Hi, Ronan."

Just after putting away his phone, Ryan Kavanaugh came over and said, "You are going to be the big winners tonight!"

Ronan smiled and said, "It's hard to say anything before the result comes out."

Ryan Kavanaugh shook his head and said, "Who doesn't know, the result is almost 100% sure!" He said with emotion: "Ronan, I really envy you. When will Maple Leaf Pictures be like Relativity Entertainment?"

"Step by step, it took several years to reach a certain scale for the Relativity Entertainment." Ronan said the truth: "How are you and David at Walt Disney?"

Ryan Kavanaugh said: "We have more shares, but it is not easy to kick Michael Eisner and Roy Disney out. Such a huge group company cannot be solved in a short period of time. I made a three-year plan. In three years, Maple Leaf Pictures will definitely take control of Walt Disney."

Ronan said: "Some things, if you are anxious, will not have good results. Your decision is correct. You have huge capital, and the only thing you lack is time."

"Yes, it's too short for us to enter Walt Disney." Ryan Kavanaugh nodded repeatedly: "Time will allow Maple Leaf Pictures to accumulate more advantages!"

Ronan laughed: "I wish you success. Ryan, we must celebrate that day."

Ryan Kavanaugh shook hands with Ronan: "Absolute!" He then replied: "By the way, I haven't congratulated you yet. "The Walker of the Infernal Affairs" and "Twilight" have been sold one after another. Relativity entertainment is really magical. Is it surprising that "The Walker of the Infernal Affairs" has a big hit, and it's so puzzling that even "Twilight" can have such a high box office."

Ronan politely said: "This is all the credit of the production team and the distribution company."

As of this weekend, the North American box office of "The Walker" has accumulated more than US$190 million, and the global box office is close to US$400 million. It is not only the number one hottest in the Oscars, but also has achieved great success in business.

Although "Twilight" has a bad reputation for professional and audience reputation, and the box office has obviously shown a trend of opening high and closing low, it is far more successful than "The Walker in the Spot" in commercial terms.

Three weeks after North America was released, the box office of this bloody romance film reached 165.71 million US dollars in North America, and the final box office of North America must have reached more than 200 million US dollars.

Currently, overseas box offices have exceeded US$100 million, and the global box office exceeds 400 million is not under great pressure.

Ryan Kavanaugh discussed some questions about Disney with Ronan and went elsewhere.

Regarding the news about Walt Disney, Ronan certainly would not believe Ryan Cavano's words, but based on the situation summarized by all aspects, the three-year plan Ryan Cavano still has a certain credibility.

This also means that Walt Disney will have to fight for at least three more years.

Ronan then met Harvey Weinstein. Because of the same time, the two of them chatted and entered the main hall of the Kodak Theater.

Weinstein Pictures is targeting the Best Actress, and the heroine Helen Mirren, currently has the highest award-winning call.

When he came to the seat of the crew of "The Walker" and "Superman" crew, Ronan found his seat and found that Tom Cruise next to him was chatting with Brad Bird, looking like he had met too late.

During this period, the name of "Mission Impossible" appeared frequently.

"Good evening, Ronan."

Jessica Chastan, who was sitting in the front row, turned around and greeted Ronan.

Ronan nodded and said, "Hello, Jesse."

Even though Jessica Chastain was nominated for the Oscar Performance Award, even though he knew that his chances of winning were extremely low, Jessica Chastain was still very excited and said, "I...I..."

She seemed to have no idea how to express it, and she hesitated for a few words before saying, "I don't know how to express my gratitude in my heart."

Ronan waved his hand: "You don't need to be so kind."

Jessica Chastain said: "Relativity Entertainment is useful for me, just a phone call."

There is no doubt that this is also a very smart woman, and I hope to continue to cooperate with Ronan.

To a certain extent, Jessica Chastain is a bit similar to Jessica Felton in terms of work, except that one of them is an actor and the other is a producer with the crew with great power.

Ronan admires such a person very much and said, "There is a role for you, and I will ask you to call you."

"Yes." Jessica Chastain responded heavily.

Tom Cruise ended his chat with Brad Bird, turned to Ronan and whispered: "Jesse has always been grateful to you."

Ronan smiled, but did not respond at all, instead asked, "Tom, are you ready for the award speech?"

Tom Cruise shrugged slightly and said, "I'm not prepared. If I really want to win the award, I will play on the spot."

Ronan said: "Unless it's upset."

Tom Cruise's competitors for the Best Actor Award are Leonardo DiCaprio, Ryan Gosling, Brad Pitt and Forrest Whitaker.

"Blood Diamond" is just the response, and Little Little Zi's escape has just begun; Ryan Gosling's qualifications are much different, and in terms of age alone, the chance of winning is extremely small. On the nomination list, it is more like the lack of excellent works in 2006, and the general is selected by the slap; Needless to say, Brad Pitt is far less popular than Tom Cruise.

The biggest threat is Forrest Whitaker, but with the persistent efforts of Relativity Entertainment for several months, let alone middle-aged and elderly white people, even the black judges have a serious lack of identity with an African character.

If it were Oscars of other years, Tom Cruise would not be likely to win the award.

But this time, the competitors are really not strong.

Sometimes, only by comparison can we show our advantages.

"If you can win the award," Tom Cruise said in a low voice, "I'll give you a car when you look back."

Ronan didn't be polite to him: "That's all."

Tom Cruise suddenly changed the topic: "During this period, someone suggested that I invest in the financial industry. I don't know much about this. I want to ask you for your opinion."

Ronan said the truth: "I don't know much about the financial industry, so I don't get involved easily because there is no need to take this risk."

Hearing this, Tom Cruise thought about it carefully, and felt it made sense, and said, "Indeed, there is no need to take unnecessary risks."

Seeing Tom Cruise listened to his words, Ronan didn't say anything more.

With the advantage of being foresight, now standing at this level, and collecting a large number of relevant front-line information, Ronan has discovered the signs of the economic crisis.

Two thousand years later, the economic development of the United States has slowed down, and the industries that have truly developed rapidly are undoubtedly high-tech industries represented by the IT industry, as well as the real estate industry vigorously promoted by the federal government.

How to improve the economic situation across the United States? This important task fell on the real estate in the United States. The federal government made a choice around 2000, calling on everyone in the United States to buy houses. Even the Federal Reserve adopted a loose monetary policy, constantly cutting interest rates, and the loan interest rate was very low. It used real estate to drive the US economy and allow the US economy to continue to flourish.

They jointly encouraged middle and lower classes across the United States to buy houses, create a real estate prosperity, and use a larger bubble to block the black hole left by another bubble.

So, commercial banks issued subprime loans and packaged subprime bonds to investment banks. After the investment banks purchased these mortgage securities, they began to design financial derivative products. They also made a package and turned into subprime bonds - debt-secured bonds - sold to large clients and insurance companies of investment banks.
