Hollywood Tycoon [US Entertainment + Business War]

This isn't Jade's first Oscar appearance, but it's the closest he's come to an Oscar. "The English Patient" won 12 Oscar nominations, and almost booked the "Best Film" trophy; and "Independence Day" directed by Jed also won two technical award nominations. The contribution of the film's visual and auditory special effects is also enough for it to win a trophy.

Of course, what surprised Jed the most was that the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences notified Jed in advance that this year's Academy Award for Scientific and Technological Progress would be awarded to IMAX in recognition of IMAX's breakthrough in high-definition large-screen projection technology.Of course, this breakthrough was actually achieved by the DLP (Digital Filter Technology) and DMR (Digital Film Remake Technology) of the Pioneer Film Technology Laboratory under the leadership of Jed, but now IMAX has become a subsidiary of the Galaxy Film Entertainment Group. The so-called Pioneer Film Technology Laboratory also bears the brand of this company, so the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences decided to give the trophy to IMAX after confirmation.

For the three founders of IMAX, there are joys and sorrows. The joy is that they have finally been recognized and encouraged by the Hollywood mainstream. The sorrow is that IMAX will only be a pure technology company in the future, and the so-called theater dream has been taken over by AMC. up. AMC is about to announce the launch of their flagship movie theater - AMCIMAX Hall in the summer. This plan not only makes Royal Entertainment Group, the No. The theater company was very dissatisfied, and even Redstone, whose business focus had shifted to the entertainment business, expressed dissatisfaction on behalf of his American entertainment company.

This year's Oscars ceremony was held at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, and Jade was treated like a star when he appeared on the red carpet with Shannette and John.For Hollywood film and television reporters, there are not many Hollywood bosses who are so young, but there are not many bosses who are so young and know so much about movies, and the important thing is that Jed is also involved in film production.So when Jed made his debut, he was treated like a Hollywood superstar.

Along the way, many reporters asked whether they had confidence in "The English Patient" winning the award, and Jed expressed cautious optimism as always.In fact, Jed has long since stopped worrying about "The English Patient" winning the award, because this film is simply made for the Oscar judges.The World War II love theme produced by the British film team has memories, war, love, infidelity, and the final tragedy... All of these add up to the standard template of "Best Oscar Film".

Although the history of the Oscars has also shown signs of being overwhelmed, the problem is that most of the films nominated for the Oscars this year are independent films. This list of nominations has already dissatisfied many filmmakers. There is no funding for next year's Oscars.That's why the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is very smart. First, I got a bunch of independent films and art films to nominate to let you know how high my Oscar taste is. Second, the final list of winners must take care of big companies and avoid Oscars. Completely turned against Hollywood.

Jed has always been on good terms with the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, why?Because the American Film Academy is actually composed of four major professional branches in Hollywood, namely: Directors Union, Screen Actors Union, Screenwriters Union and Camera Union.As for the Producers Union, it belongs to the Motion Picture Association of America, which is a more powerful organization.Jed alone is a dual member of the directors' union and the screenwriters' union. What's important is that Jed is recognized as the No.1 screenwriter in the screenwriters' union. Although he has not held any position, many young screenwriters already regard him as a spiritual leader; In the directors' union, Jed has always been taken care of by Spielberg, and the expelled Lucas also admired Jed, so Jed has long been regarded as the leader of the next generation in the directors' union.Faced with such a strong Jed, the American Film Academy is naturally unwilling to offend casually.And don't think that the American Film Academy is really fair, they still favor the Americans.Galaxy Films is one of the few independent film companies in the United States that is purely American in terms of capital and personnel. Such a company is simply the son of the old men of the American Film Academy.If my son doesn't hurt himself, who else will he hurt?That's why Jed didn't worry about being overwhelmed.

Sure enough, the Oscar judges put the Oscars on "Jed Sherman time" in the first place.The first award awarded by this year's Oscars, the Oscar for Best Visual Effects was won by "Independence Day".The next best costume design and best editing were also won by "The English Patient". Everyone only saw that people at Jed's table stood up and walked onto the stage to express their thanks.Jed is well aware that in history, "The English Patient" is proud of this year's Oscars with 12 nominations and finally won 7 trophies, so Jed won the best sound effects and best original soundtrack in "The English Patient" When it came to the technical awards, he just clapped his hands lightly, as if everything was in his mind.Jed's attitude fell into the eyes of others, and they had their own interpretations.

The ones who are most displeased with Jed's appearance are naturally the Weinstein brothers. In fact, if there is no Jed as a spoiler, the Weinstein brothers are indeed the most successful film producers in modern Hollywood history. They have three film companies , in addition to the well-known Weinstein Film Company and Miramax Film Company, they also have a company called Dimension Film Production Company.Generally speaking, Miramax and Weinstein are two companies that are mainly engaged in distribution work, while Dimens Films is indeed a production company.Like Lionsgate films, Dimens Gate films have always been famous for making big box office profits with low-cost productions.So Jed had to admire the vision and ability of the two brothers, but at this time they had been blinded by jealousy.Under Meribo's small actions, several key distribution department managers of Miramax were pulled by him to Galaxy Films.

Just when the Weinstein brothers Bob and Harvey were jealous of Jed, "The English Patient" won Best Supporting Actress again.In fact, Jed admired the acting skills of Ralph Fiennes and Christine Thomas very much, but he really didn't get the favor of the judges. In the end, Juliette Binoche became the brightest star in "The English Patient".

The person in charge of the Oscar for Best Director is Mel Gibson, who won the Oscar for Best Picture and Best Director last year with "Braveheart". "It is bound to win two awards for best film and best director.Sure enough, Anthony Minghella, the director of "The English Patient", won the best director first.Then the best picture given by Al Pacino really went to "The English Patient" again. So far, "The English Patient" won seven trophies in one fell swoop, plus a trophy for "Independence Day", Galaxy Films won a total of Eight trophies.Not only the Weinstein brothers are enjoying themselves seeing the huge momentum of Galaxy Movies, but even century-old stores like Disney and Paramount are a little upset.But everyone is a messy person, so of course they won't make the scene too ugly at the venue.

After the Oscars, there is naturally an Oscar night party attended by the winners and presenters.The party was sponsored by Vanity Fair magazine to raise money for a number of charities.All the winners attending this party are required to donate a gift according to the rules, which will be auctioned by the organizer to the guests, and the proceeds from the auction will be donated to charity.The most prosperous and least offending industry in the United States is the philanthropy industry, so as long as there is no special important thing, everyone stays and participates in the Oscar charity night party.The charity auction is naturally the finale event, and "The English Patient", as the most prominent crew of this year's Oscars, naturally gave very valuable auction items.This year's Best Supporting Actress Juliette Binoche said that she would shoot one of her own sweet kisses. Seeing Binoche's statement, Jed had to admire this girl for being so good at making news.

Generally speaking, people rarely get drunk at such a party. After all, there are so many reporters and acquaintances, it is really embarrassing to lose face.But I didn't expect Mel Gibson, who had just been awarded the best director, to be drunk, and his mouth became very uncontrollable.He suddenly saw Jed and leaned over, "Oh, isn't this Mr. Sherman? It's so rare to meet you."

Seeing how drunk Gibson looked, the publicist hired by "Vanity Fair" rushed over immediately, trying to take Gibson away.Unexpectedly, after being drunk, Gibson was so powerful that he threw the publicist aside, rushed in front of Jed, pointed to his back and said, "Hey, Mr. Sherman, that's only for shitting. !"

Jed and John's complexions suddenly changed, and even Shannette, who had been smiling all the time, turned dark decisively.The fact that Jed Sherman is gay has always been one of the enduring topics in Hollywood, but Jed seldom hangs out in nightclubs recently, so the paparazzi and entertainment reporters have gradually let Jed go.However, the ultra-conservatives in the United States have been attacking Jed, and some fundamentalist Christians even declared Jed to be a sinner.Fortunately, Jed has never had anything to do with ultra-conservatives or Christianity, so he didn't take their words to heart.But this time, Mel Gibson rushed to the front and taunted her sexual orientation. Not only the people in Galaxy Movies were dumbfounded, but also the public relations of "Vanity Fair", and even the entertainment reporters and film critics present were also dumbfounded.

"What did that Gibson say to Mr. Sherman just now? He must be too courageous! Do you still plan to continue to hang out in Hollywood?"

Not to mention that Jed Sherman is a famous Hollywood producer, director and screenwriter, even if Jed is just an ordinary person, it is a hate crime for Gibson to insult Jed's sexual orientation.Jed could take Gibson to court at any time, and even the California District Attorney had to get involved.Of course, there are also people who are dissatisfied with Jed because of the popularity of "The English Patient" tonight, watching the jokes on the sidelines.

Jed only said coldly: "Mr. Gibson, I will let my legal team have a good talk with you about what happened tonight."

After speaking, Jed turned his head and left the venue. At the same time, all the staff of Galaxy Films and the crew of "The English Patient" also evacuated from the venue. Seeing this situation, the editor-in-chief of "Vanity Fair" wished to slap Mel Gibson to the Pacific Ocean.Originally, Juliette Binoche was going to auction off her own sweet kiss. What a great page this is tomorrow, but it was ruined by Mel Gibson's "shit theory".

The editor-in-chief helped his forehead, "It's more important to think about how to apologize to Mr. Sherman!"
