"The perfect choice-Nicole Kidman crowned the Oscar queen for the third time."

After reading the title, Ryan looked at the mother and daughter sitting next to him, "Do you still want to listen?"

Nicole shrugged, and her slender fingers gently stabbed Sandy on the back. She looked at the little golden man's daughter curiously and nodded, "Dad... please... continue."

"Do you understand what I'm talking about?" Ryan pointed to the little golden man again, "Do you know what this is?"

"I don't... know." Sandy immediately shook his head.

After scraping the little guy's face, Ryan picked up today's newspaper again. The eye-catching position on it was almost occupied by the news of the Oscars ceremony last night. This is a hype opportunity that the media will never let go of every year.

"The acting superstar Nicole Kidman got his wish to win the Oscar for Best Actress. This is a perfect result that satisfies most people. The Oscar judges made a correct but not difficult choice."

Seeing Nicole's bent eyes, Ryan couldn't help laughing. Although Nicole had been very restrained at the award ceremony, she was extremely excited when she returned home last night. After all, she became a true legend.

Dispelling the crazy memories of last night, Ryan continued to read, "Meryl Streep, who was invincible in acting, raised her Oscar nomination record to fifteen, and achieved a great record, but nearly In more than ten years, Nicole Kidman, who shines like a star, was placed on the throne of the queen for the third time, so that everyone got his place. The academy not only set records, but also created a legend."

"Legend?" Sandy blinked curiously blue eyes, obviously not understanding the specific meaning of this word, "Mummy, can you eat...Legend?"

"This is an honor." Ryan put the newspaper on the coffee table and hugged his daughter. "Just like Sunny is the smartest child, the legend is the compliment of others to Mommy."

"Oh……"

I don't know if the little guy understood, she just nodded mechanically. Then he threw the golden Oscar trophy on the couch, struggling to jump off Ryan. He grabbed his hand and shook it, "Mummy, Dad, the garden...I want to go."

"Yes." Ryan bent down and pointed a finger at the little guy. "But you have to walk over by yourself."

"Ah..." The little guy bit his finger and thought for a few seconds, "Okay."

Out of the back door of the villa. Sandy walked in the front, Ryan and Nicole held hands, walked behind unhurriedly, and entered the remodeled garden.

As Sandy gets older, many new children’s entertainment facilities such as small swings and seesaws have been added here. Being born in this kind of family means that Sandy’s childhood cannot be spent like most children. However, both Ryan and Nicole knew this very well.

Not long after he walked out, the little guy had forgotten what he had just said. She started to shame, after all, she was not yet three years old, and it was impossible for her to walk too long. Ryan picked her up and walked into the outdoor casino, put her on a thick air cushion, and let her bounce and roll on it.

There was the sound of footsteps from the villa. Taylor, in a casual suit, was walking towards this side with his amazingly long legs. Before she came closer, Sandy stood holding Ryan’s clothes and swaying. Up.

"Sister, sister." She shouted to the other side, "Taylor. Taylor."

"Hi, Sunny." Tyler walked over quickly. "do you miss me?"

"Hmm!" The little guy nodded seriously.

"You are getting cuter and cuter."

After that, Taylor is like a child who has not grown up. Jumping on the air cushion, jumping and jumping with Sandy, the two people quarreled for a few minutes before they stopped.

"Don't you need to work today?" Ryan asked.

"I just came from Disney Animation Studios." Tyler hugged Sandy and sat cross-legged on the air cushion. "Elsa didn't just sing one song. I used to discuss the music style with the crew, and I need to prepare two more episodes."

Ryan nodded. The project of "Ice Adventure" went smoothly. Since the images of Anna and Elsa were determined, Disney Animation Studios quickly entered the substantive production stage, although it is still far from being completed. It has been a very long time, but for the relatively slow Pixar studio, the progress has been quite satisfactory.

According to the plan, Pixar Studios will release an animated feature film at the rate of one per year in recent years. This year it will be "Flying House Tour", next year it will be "Toy Story 3", and another year it will be "Cars 2".

Especially the last one, it is almost destined to be a money-giving machine.

Since the launch of "Cars 2", even if it does not count the film's global box office, it is just peripherals and derivatives. This series has so far brought Walt Disney more than 2 billion US dollars in revenue, and it is definitely a boy's pocket money killer.

Back in the villa, Ryan put the little golden figure Sandy casually thrown on the sofa into the glass showcase, which is full of awards such as the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress. Among them, the heaviest is naturally three. The best actress, the little golden man.

This is definitely a great achievement.

Only Ryan himself knows that he has not made a mistake. This is a promise that has been persisted for twenty years.

He finally pushed Nicole to a position far higher than before, and completely became a Hollywood legend. When the public recalled the period between the 1990s and the beginning of the 21st century in the past few decades, the first The actress who thinks of it must be Nicole. Not only does she have awards, she also has a box office that other actresses cannot match.

Even Julia Roberts, the representative of another actress in the same period, was left far behind by Nicole.

"I will focus more on production in the future."

Nicole's words came from the sofa, "Unless there is a very favorite character, otherwise..."

"If I can take eight phonographs at a time." Taylor is very smart and understands the relevance of this situation in all aspects. "I will also withdraw from the pop music world and turn to the business world."

"Sanny." She pressed Sandy's forehead with her forehead. "At that time, we will join hands to fight the bad guys who bully people."

"Yes!" Sandy said naively, "badass... we'll knock it down together, sister."

With the closing of the Oscars ceremony, Hollywood’s 2008 has only come to a complete end. The movies that were on the box office charts did not accidentally pass by Oscars.

The 2008 North American and global box office champions belonged to "Transformers 2." This special effects blockbuster that was thrown on the ground by film critics, wishing to step into the hell, received US$431.87 million and US$1.110.15 million in North America respectively. Corresponding to the global box office, there are peripheral products whose sales are infinitely close to these two numbers.

The second place still belongs to Disney. "Iron Man 2", with US$832.5 million, beat the "Indiana Jones 4" co-produced by George Lucas and Steven Spielberg, and won the North American and global box office. The position of the second runner-up in the list.

Although "Indiana Jones 4" is like "Transformers 2", the professional reputation cannot be worse, but with 317.1 million US dollars, it easily ranked third in the North American box office list.

Although the financial crisis has had a considerable impact on the film industry, last year's North American box office still showed a momentum of growth, and the total box office exceeded the $10 billion mark for the first time in history, except for the contribution of a series of commercial blockbusters. Besides, I have to talk about the two dark horses of "Weakness" and "Twilight".

Half a month after the Oscars, the former was offloaded from North America. The final North American box office stood at 301.25 million US dollars. It was definitely the biggest dark horse in the North American film market last year. Unfortunately, this film was not strong overseas. China’s overseas box office is less than US$100 million, and it is still unknown whether the global box office will eventually exceed US$400 million.

The latter's performance is equally impressive. The North American box office of 197.52 million US dollars, plus the overseas box office of 198.84 million US dollars, is enough to make Disney laugh.

The continuous strong performance of the films produced by Walt Disney will not only arouse the envy of others, but also arouse the envy and dissatisfaction of some people. In recent years, there are not no people who have secretly tricked them, but in the face of Disney's strong strength Play too much.

This time is no exception. After the Oscars, some media began to say that they were unable to target Disney’s normal film production and distribution, and there was nothing to provoke, but instead aimed at emerging companies. The online media market, especially video sites.

It is definitely the leading online video website in the world, and even occupies more than 70% of the North American market share. Among the rest, the hulu website jointly established by Disney and Twentieth Century Fox has to be divided by half, and Disney dominates online video. To describe the situation of the industry today, it is not too muchmonopoly. North American business groups are trying to avoid minefields. This is undoubtedly the best reason to deal with Disney's online video business.

Many tabloids seem to have gotten some hints, vaguely spreading the gossip that the federal government is preparing to launch an antitrust investigation into Disney's related businesses.

Fortunately, there is no such voice in the mainstream media. Disney also has the political power to sponsor. The exact news that Ryan received is nothing but rumors. The federal government has no plans to launch antitrust investigations on this business, at least still has not now.

It is difficult to find out where this kind of rumors originated. Ryan is also paying attention to the dynamics of those former interest communities, which have now become loose alliances and competitors.

For the benefit, those people can stand with him and conceal him through the most fragile underage period; and enough tempting interests can make them stand on the opposite side of him.

In the process of such a crazy rise of Disney, it will inevitably touch the interests of many people. (To be continued)
