Blooming America

Chapter 158

"Bob Hope, I didn't expect that I could still see a real person." Ada seemed a little excited. Full text novels (starting novels ~ novels on the Internet)

"Ada, I believe we will have more opportunities to meet people who are more famous than him in the future, it's no big deal."

Catherine decided to calm Ada a little bit.

But this Bob Hope is indeed an amazing person.

He is an American comedian and his experience in the entertainment industry includes radio and TV host, actor, talk show comedian and producer. At the same time, he is also the number one "patriotic artist" in the hearts of the American people. He won more than 1,500 awards in his lifetime, and the Guinness Book of World Records therefore called it "the most respected person in the entertainment industry."

But this man passed away in 2003, but he was already over a hundred years old...

But now, Catherine saw a young face-even though he was 62 years old.

"Testing, testing, it seems that today's microphone is normal and nothing will go wrong."

Bob made a little joke for everyone first.

"Well, gentlemen and ladies, welcome to the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium, and welcome to the 38th Academy Awards ceremony."

The first to be awarded is the Best Sound Award. The nominees include "The Sound of Music", "Eternal Life", "Doctor Zhivago", "Crazy Racing" and "Beacon Pastoral".

"I don't know what you think, but I think if I were a judge, it would be difficult for me to choose..."

"Kate, who do you think will be the winner?"

Ada asked quietly.

"Undoubtedly, it is "The Sound of Music."

"why?"

"I said, there is no doubt about it~"

Catherine pursed her lips and smiled. It's better to be more serious at this time.

"Doctor Zhivago seems to be good too." Ada guessed.

"Perhaps."

In fact, the Oscar this time is a battle between "Doctor Zhivago" and "The Sound of Music", but Catherine is a Cheng Yaojin who was halfway through, and it is likely to change the outcome of this Oscar.

At this time, the answer has been revealed, and indeed the final winner is "The Sound of Music."

Then came a few more awards, and then, Catherine finally heard the name of her film.

"The best visual effects, nominated for "007", "Liu Fang", "Red Alert". Oh, it was the work of the magical girl we were absent last time. Oh, maybe she really has magic. "

Oscar sometimes bows to politics.

The closest relationship between Oscars and politics was when McCarthyism was rampant in the United States in the 1950s. The most prominent example is Charlie Chaplin. The Oscars in the 1960s were still affected by this.

In determining the ownership of the Oscars, the social environment, zeitgeist and theme are more important than the artistic content of the film itself. Oscar's choice is always a safe, mainstream, and non-controversial movie.

For example, the later famous "Law Abiding Citizen", because of political incorrectness, led to its tragedy at the Oscars, and even few nominations.

Catherine’s "Wasteland" almost ignited an explosive barrel. Oscar, out of his own consideration, could not award "Wasteland".

Because of this, Catherine is also a member of the anti-war in the eyes of outsiders... But few people know that Catherine has always maintained a relationship with the Pentagon, and the relationship is not light.

But "Red Alert" is not the same as "Wasteland". Like "Doctor Zhivago", this film belongs to the politically correct type.

"The best visual effect is..."Red Alert""

The crew cheered.

And Catherine stepped onto the stage.

"Oh, this is a beautiful girl in Taobao women's clothing Tmall Taobao mall Taobao women's winter jacket m."

Bob smiled friendly at Catherine.

"Thank you."

Catherine happily took over the heavy little golden man.

"It's just a pity, it's gilded."

Catherine was also humorous.

"We are all very impressed with the artificial intelligence in "Red Alert". Can you tell us how you made yourself transparent? Miss Edson?"

"I'm sorry, this is a trade secret."

Catherine finished speaking, and then came to the front of the microphone.

"I am very happy to be here today, thank you for your support, thank you."

After a brief speech, Catherine came down.

Oscar’s main play is often in the lead actor, best director, and best film. Although Catherine’s award has some weight, it is still a bit worse than the main play.

"Unexpectedly, we actually got Oscar Kate, you are such a genius."

But Catherine herself was a little disappointed.

"In fact, what I want is the best film and the best director."

Catherine expressed her ambition.

"Don't worry, you still have a lot of opportunities." Ada comforted her.

"right."

Catherine suddenly remembered something.

"By the way, Ida, in one month, my manor in California is about to be completed. How about going to the Snapdragon Novel Network on my birthday?"

"really?"

"Yes."

The awards are not rushed, but the highlight is always coming.

"The nominations for the best film are: "The Sound of Music", "Dear", "Doctor Zhivago", "Ship of Fools" and "Red Alert"

"Come on Kate, the most important one"

It's not just Ada who is excited, but also the crew members beside her.

"The winner is... "The Sound of Music""

The other side cheered, while the crew fainted.

Catherine sighed long.

Sure enough, I still have no relationship with myself

In fact, if Catherine is a more mature man, maybe this award will be available, but her gender determines the existence of invisible sexism.

Sex discrimination is something that has always existed along with racial discrimination, but compared to racial discrimination, **** discrimination is not as serious as racial discrimination.

It is no wonder that in the 21st century, Americans often have all kinds of strange novels that transform men into women. It seems that American women have great resentment towards men.

By the time she returned to the villa, it was already very late. Catherine casually kicked off her high heels, then took off her dress, and lay on the floor with a "big" character.

"Best visual effect..."

Having been nominated for five or six, and finally won only such an Oscar, Catherine was really unwilling.

"Oscar... Kate... we actually participated in the Oscar..."

"It's okay." Catherine remembered Stallone's excitement when he was nominated, and the disappointment when the best actor was taken away by Lee Marvin in the end.

Anyway, it would be nice not to go home empty-handed... Probably.

"Kate, do you have any new film plans?"

"Not yet, I've been busy." Catherine thought of her fiber optic plan again.

"The house matter?"

"No, it's the company's business. I'm laying the network line now."

"Network?" Ada was puzzled.

"Yes, maybe we will be able to communicate via video in the future."

Catherine's eyes suddenly lit up.

Yes, if the video communication can do this, the Pentagon will be very happy, and the optical fiber also ensures that it can have enough bandwidth.

"Video communication?" Ada was puzzled.

"Yes, just like live TV, completely unblocked video communication"

It doesn’t have to be a live video broadcast like in the future, but a broadcast method similar to that of a TV station... Is it just that, the investment seems to be high?

In any case, the idea is feasible. Catherine took the notebook and wrote the phrase "video communication" on it.

"By the way, what does your manor in California look like?"

Ida only heard that Catherine mentioned it, but she still had no impression of what the manor was like.

"You will know then, there is definitely a good place to go"

"Kate, you can actually buy more houses, maybe every state buys one."

"This is not good, if it is abroad, I will consider it."

When buying a house in China, Catherine would definitely not do it.

The real estate tax in the United States is increased or decreased according to the market price of the year. The real estate tax rate is levied at 1 to 3% per year, which is very cheating.

"Unless the IRS is destroyed by a nuclear bomb, otherwise I will never continue to buy a house in China."

Just like the land in Manhattan, although it has appreciated a little, after paying taxes, Catherine found that waiting for the appreciation to make money is an unrealistic idea that might make money, but that meager profit, Catherine really Look down on it.

"If the Soviet Union bombed the Internal Revenue Service, I would definitely clap and applaud." Catherine complained.

The United States is known as a "ten thousand tax nation", but it is more than just talking. Otherwise, Catherine would not have passed the tax haven of Liechtenstein and avoided most of the tax revenue.

...

Just when Catherine complained about the US real estate tax~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Bruce Lee's "Green Hornet" was also finished.

Originally, the film was supposed to be launched on June 6 and then released on September 9. However, because of Catherine's intervention, Bruce Lee's fate has changed, and the shooting time of this film, which is closely related to Bruce Lee, has also changed.

The current Green Hornet is going to start broadcasting on June 6.

But in the process of filming, Bruce Lee felt uncomfortable.

Because he heard that the original plan should be Bruce Lee as the first protagonist, but because Bruce Lee is a Chinese, Hollywood, which has always regarded commercial interests as the first element, cannot tolerate a Chinese to become a Hollywood star, so the boss invited it. White movie star Van Williams plays the leading role "The Green Hornet".

And more importantly, he was here, and he couldn't talk about the filming or something. Although Bruce Lee’s performance is very eye-catching and his relationship with the crew is also good, Bruce always has some knots in his heart.

He even missed the days when he quarreled with Eastwood.
