Ace Hollywood

I discussed a private jet with Mark. In Hollywood, buying a private jet is not a particularly extravagant act. The six-seater, Mach 0.8, and the sj30 with a range of 2,500 kilometers cost only a few million. Among the expenses of top stars, That's not more expensive than a luxury car. Moreover, the share of private airports in the United States is also very high, and the elites own all kinds of private jets.

However, as Daniel said, private jets are not as low-key as civil aviation. Apart from safety and convenience, they are of little help in hiding whereabouts.

Mark and Daniel report on the promotion during this time.

"It's surprising how smooth it went," Mark said with a smile. In fact, he's been too busy recently, but fortunately he's also very young, he hasn't started a family yet, and his family is all in Seattle, so he couldn't often Meet. But as long as you are busy, you won't feel uncomfortable. Mark is in such a state now. Seeing the rapid development of f2f every day, he is in a very good mood.

"The number of users has exceeded 500,000, and it is growing rapidly every day, and now our campus promotion activities have stopped for a large part."

This is also to be expected. High school students are still relatively closed, and college students are not like this at all. Most of their high school friends are located in different universities. In order to allow friends to communicate with themselves on f2f, they will take the initiative to form gangs and let them Applying for their own account, so apart from the difficulty of developing the situation at the beginning, their focus has now returned to operations and online promotion.

"According to the current plan, we believe that the number of users will exceed 1.5 million before the Oscars."

Daniel nodded.

Triver got in touch, and f2f spent $1 million this year to become one of the many sponsors of the Oscars. This year's Oscars have established their own homepage on f2f, and will broadcast the Oscars awards process and exclusive photos live on the homepage. Even MB been compared. The Academy's first official live broadcast of the awards ceremony on social media - determined after close consultation between f2f and Academy President Franka Pearson - has also been recognized. With the right to broadcast TV, it stands to reason that the live broadcast of online graphics and video clips is not in this category. But considering Oscar and the close partnership, Pearson still won the recognition, which is more reasonable at this point. Of course, this is also directly related to the fact that cable networks have not yet felt the threat from social media.

Presumably in a few years, they won't be so generous, but, the same. At that time, 1 million won't be able to buy the network broadcast rights, and Oscar will of course not be so scruples. After all, Oscar's broadcast is a big piece of fat. It's not that Oscar is begging, but Oscar.

A few days ago, the list of Oscar nominations was announced. Daniel was nominated for the best actor Oscar for his role as Captain Jack in "Pirates of the Caribbean", although he was after the best actor. It is difficult to get the second one, but it is relatively easy to be shortlisted. After all, as long as the Oscar actor is a film that comes out of the acting line, the standard is recognized on the Oscar standard line, and few people will question it.

"The Return of the King" won 4 Golden Globes at the Golden Globes, and immediately led the Oscar with 11 nominations, which is somewhat lacking in surprises. Before the Oscar nominations were awarded, most forecasters believed that the third "Return of the King" The Lord of the Rings will be the biggest winner of this year's Oscars. The 11 awards, including the best film and the best director, do indeed cover almost all the awards it can be shortlisted for. If it is not for the shortcomings in the performance of the actors, otherwise, none of the four performance awards will not be shortlisted.

before. Many people also expected this. Although everyone thinks it is unlikely, they still speculate on whether it is possible for Oscar to make Daniel nominated for the best supporting actor - now it seems that the Academy has not gone crazy. If they really let Daniel be nominated for the male supporting role, it is estimated that it will become the Oscar. A joke in history.

In terms of best actor, Daniel himself was shortlisted for "Pirates". Sean Penn, who had a grudge with Daniel, was shortlisted for "Mystic River", and Jude Law, who replaced Daniel in Miramax's "Cold Mountain", also participated. In addition to the two, Ben Kingsley and Bill Murray They were also shortlisted for "Dust Mist Home" and "Lost in Translation."

In terms of box office, the other finalists together are not as good as "The Return of the King", but Sean Penn won a best actor at the Golden Globe Awards, and his opponent is Xeon, which is amazing. Oscar actor Russell Crowe, the same actor Oscar winner Daniel, plus heartthrob Tom Cruise and Ben Kingsley - are also Oscar winners, even the weakest among them, Tom Cruise, who has won three Oscars and three golden **** Award strongman. Sean Pan was able to win the Best Actor in the Foreign Correspondents Association, and the work he did later must be in place.

In fact, with the friendship between Daniel and the current president of the Foreign Correspondents Association, Theo Gingema, it is not impossible for Daniel to make a move, but he actually did not do it. There are many reasons. He just won the Golden Globe Award and the Even though he has the limelight at the Oscar, Lianzhuang is not worth it if you don't talk about the difficulty or the effort. At Daniel's price today, winning another Golden Globe will not make the producer add a dime to him. As for Oscar, it's even more difficult.

Tom Hanks has been in a relationship for ten years, and there has been no second person in this decade. Daniel doesn't think he can match Lao Tang in this aspect now.

No matter how slow it is, it won't do him any harm.

In addition, it is also very important that he will not attend the Golden Globe Awards or the Oscars. Under this premise, it will be even more difficult for the other party to give him the award.

After Daniel's absence from the Golden Globes, the question of whether he will attend the Oscars has become another hot topic recently.

So in the past two months, although Daniel has not made his debut once, in fact, there is still no shortage of news centered on him in the media.

The Oscar spokesperson can only say that during the communication, Pearson even contacted the side in person, hoping that the two sides would be able to unify the pace in the announcement - this was of course after Daniel stated that he would not attend.

So far, no exact word has been given.

The media made hundreds of calls to Triver and Cusa, some hung up, others responded vaguely and didn't say a word.

Even so, when the media reported, they also used descriptions like "Daniel hesitates..." "Daniel is not sure..." to attract the attention of the audience.

In fact, not only the major media and academies, including the people around Daniel, are also chasing him.

Mark and Javier are two of the standouts.

After f2f accidentally won the Oscar's social media broadcast rights, mb's Javier suddenly got the hang of it, and immediately called Daniel, hoping that he could host a mb's Oscar report feature. Because he was present, if he could live stream it on mb, he would definitely attract a lot of attention, which would bring back the attention that f2f stole.

In Javier's mouth, this is what he said to Daniel: f2f has won the right to live broadcast, mb is also Daniel's industry, even if a small part belongs to Google, Daniel can't be too favoritism.

Obviously, Mark didn't think so.

"F2f is still in the promotion stage, how can it be compared with MB." Mark's insistence is not unreasonable. At present, the f2f circles of various universities, middle schools, and companies are gradually being established, and the voices calling for them to talk about the removal of barriers are also growing. This is also the established strategy of f2f. Mark hopes to use the broadcast of the Oscars as an opportunity to fully release the early restrictions.

At this time, Daniel should stand up for f2f.

For him, the question now is not whether he wants to make his mark on f2f, but whether he wants to participate in it.

He has just left Hollywood for two months, but in fact, apart from the fact that he has no fresh public activities, in the eyes of the general public, he is basically not much different from before. If he emerges at this time, I am afraid that before May or June, there will be no difference at all. You don't have to think that you can step back from the limelight, and you can't achieve the purpose of alleviating the aesthetic fatigue of movie audiences in the past two years. After all, in July, "Bourne Bourne 2" will be released again.

"Other stars can't wait to hang on the newspaper every day, only you are worried that you won't be able to cool down. This time, you must come out, this is your company, this time if the effect is good, it will be 1.5 million before the Oscars, and Oscar is one After a month, it will reach 3 million, and f2f will basically be able to officially carry out regular operations.”

Indeed, Mark is right, but Daniel actually has no room for consideration.

With a sigh, it was the default.

Only then did Mark talk to him about something else, "When we were promoting it at Harvard, we also saw a web page developed by their students, where the photos of two people were hung on it, and others could like the more beautiful one. Almost. Blowing up Harvard's server has helped us to some extent, and realizing the enthusiasm of the students for social networking, the other party will let go a little earlier."

Daniel's eyes lit up, and that Harvard student was obviously Mark Zuckerberg.

"Have you met him?"

Mark really met him on purpose, "I have the same name as me, both are Mark, just in the second grade. He also said that he wanted to make a website similar to the classmate record~www.readwn.com~ and started with you. When he described f2f, he said the same thing. Of course, I was too surprised. If we hadn't been one step earlier, he might have developed f2f. However, Zuckerberg is very good at this field, and some previous achievements have also attracted attention. , Microsoft also invited him to join, but he did not agree."

Frowning, "What do you think, let him join f2f?"

Mark was stunned for a moment, "He even refused to accept Microsoft's face. I'm afraid he wouldn't be willing to join f2f? I didn't invite him..."

Having said that, Mark himself hesitated. Zuckerberg was really interested when talking about f2f with him. Maybe he is really willing to do this job. It would be a pity to miss a technical genius.

"In this way, you send him an offer, be sincere and see if he is interested." (To be continued.)
