Chapter 387 Vanity Fair
An Feng has no worries about burning money to play racing cars, because there is too much money. Although the consortium has a huge plan that can destroy the country, who knows when it will start? Focusing on the reality, taxation is a headache. He has more income this year than last year, and his personal tax is also a scary figure.
Apart from investing in finance, he now buys some gold and hoards it. Recently, he occasionally pays attention to sports, but he doesn’t like much, horse racing, car racing and football. I don't understand, it's meaningless to invest money.
Last year, he asked his assistant to pay attention to the NBA. He was interested in it, and he also had the idea of investing in value preservation, but the most important thing was the interest. As long as he was interested, it was like football, and the loss was completely filtered by him... According to his assistant John, this year's NBA Spurs Something is wrong with the boss's funds.
The specific situation is unclear. The owner of the Spurs is nicknamed selling tractors to make a fortune. His net worth is not as good as that of the owners of other teams. An Feng played basketball for a period of time in high school and was also interested.
An Feng asked John to continue to pay attention. If it is suitable, he may consider starting.
A few days later, Roger and his wife visited.
An Feng, who came back from walking the tiger, happened to see them teasing the children. Roger made a funny face. An Feng said: "If you want to scare her to tears, don't even think about leaving tonight!"
Roger looked around and smiled: "I like this place."
"Maybe I should let you go and keep Miranda." An Feng stepped forward to give him a hug, and then gave Miranda a hug. "Hey, Miranda, the ring is worn on the ring finger all the time, the normal life must be so sweet that you forget me as a friend, right?"
"It's because you are a busy person and don't have time to receive us." Miranda said with a smile, "Very cute little baby, I want to have one too."
"Then I can't help you." An Feng shrugged and looked at Roger.
Roger smiled: "Of course you don't have to worry about it."
"Sit down quickly." Joanna sat on the sofa with the child in her arms, and they sat down beside her.
Miranda looked at Joanna and praised sincerely: "You have recovered really well. If I hadn't seen a photo of your belly a few months ago, I would not have believed it."
"Focus on exercising, anyone can do it." Joanna said with a smile. She was wearing a light gray dress with suspenders, a small necklace hanging around her neck, embellished with a **** collarbone, and long hair shawl. The child's appearance also brought a strong maternal brilliance.
An Feng nodded to the maid who brought tea to the table, and then asked: "I came here specially this time, what's the matter?"
"Can't I come to visit you specially?" Roger said.
"Okay, welcome anytime." An Feng took a sip of black tea with honey, "But judging by your appearance, there must be other things, don't hide them."
"There is indeed something I want to tell you." Roger said, "I heard that you invested in a movie last year?"
An Feng nodded: "Yes, it was released in October last year. It's called FR. I went to see it specially. As a popcorn commercial, it's pretty good."
"Have you not paid attention recently?" Roger asked.
"I'm busy with the children's mother and children, and I don't have time to take care of other things." An Feng said that he didn't go to burn money because he was busy, and he paid a lot of taxes last year.
"FR was nominated for an Oscar, thanks to the holographic technology you provided. It will compete for several awards for best photography, best visual effects and best sound effects. Although it is not a heavyweight award, with these advanced technologies, Competitors pale in comparison.”
"It seems that the beginning is not bad." An Feng has also heard the media's hot comment on holographic film art recently. At present, there are less than ten movie theaters in the United States that have the projection conditions. Trendy, the point is to be able to look in different directions. Although it is not an absolute free angle after artistic processing, the sense of experience has been improved several levels.
Even if they want to see absolutely free angles, the film crew can't do it, especially for some shots that rely on clever vision. If they have all-round vision, then people lying on the ground may look developed.
Roger continued: "I know the director and some entertainment tycoons. They got to know you through me and want to invite you to the awards ceremony and the dinner afterwards."
"About holographic technology?" An Feng guessed.
"Yes, especially the film companies are very interested in this technology. They have also contacted the Holographic Art Company, but the answer they got was not accurate, so they want to bypass the procedure and talk directly to you, the behind-the-scenes boss. "Roger said, "And I am here to do odd jobs."
An Feng laughed. If Roger was doing odd jobs, other entertainment tycoons would not be much better off.
"Are you interested?" Roger said, "If you don't want to attend the lively occasion, you can choose another time, but you have to come one by one, it is difficult to talk together."
"I don't mind the venue, but recently..." An Feng looked at Joanna.
"Of course you can go if you like." Joanna said very enlightenedly, "Do you need me to accompany you?"
"Then where should I go to find a female companion?" An Feng smiled wryly, and the other two also secretly laughed. It's not easy to be a good man.
"I'll accompany you." Joanna said, "I just didn't wear a custom spring and summer dress last time, and I should be able to wear it with my current figure."
"Absolutely no problem." An Feng flattered him.
…
The Oscar ceremony is a very grand event for both actors and directors, especially the red carpet is the hardest hit area for actresses to compete for beauty. With such a small red carpet, many people wish it would be longer. A thousand times, so that I can slowly enjoy the spotlight.
The red carpet starts to walk around 5:00 p.m., the awards ceremony is held at 6:30 p.m., the surrounding area of the Dolby Theater is bustling with big names... But it has nothing to do with An Feng. After 6:30 p.m., when the eyes of the media turn to the interior At that time, An Feng's Rolls-Royce arrived late.
An Feng is holding a VIP invitation card, which is located in the boxes on both sides of the stage. These are usually non-entertainment people, and only those with noble status can enjoy it, usually senior executives of film companies or investors. An Feng's other identity is an investor, and his qualifications are absolutely sufficient.
Entered the venue in a low-key manner, and was led to the door of the box by the waiter.
The private room is not big, and Roger and Miranda are also there, as well as a few middle-aged people. Roger introduced them to them. Not surprisingly, they are all senior executives of the film and television company, but they are not young, and they are from Time Warner. One of them had a friendship with Roger and used that relationship to approach him.
"This is Mr. Romano." Roger introduced, "These two are Mr. Ann and his wife."
Both sides greeted each other, but the ceremony had already begun, so they sat down and didn't talk much.
The surrounding festival boxes are all separated, and they can look down at the stage and the audience from a high position. Although they can't see the characters clearly, the bosses probably like the feeling of everything crawling under their feet. Entertainment characters are nothing to them. It's just an "entertainment tool" that can make money.
This year's awards ceremony was very procrastinating. Fortunately, the box is different from other places. It provides snacks and drinks. After seeing An Feng and Joanna, they began to order some food. Several entertainers headed by Romano took the opportunity to chat with him. , the topic is of course about the upcoming awards.
"I think FR is very likely to win the prize this time." Romano said flatteringly, what kind of society he has come into contact with, for a tycoon like them, he also knows some guys who are particularly bullish in society, especially Ann. Feng's identity as a yellow race is easy to remember.
"I hope so." An Feng said, looking at the awarding platform, the list in the envelope was being taken out by the awarding guests and read out.
"The best visual effect is..." The award presenter drew a long tone, and said together with the female guest: "FR!"
There was thunderous applause at the scene, the award-winning team hugged and congratulated, and sent someone to the stage to accept the award, followed by an award acceptance speech, An Feng applauded, feeling that without holographic technology, it would not be easy for this film to win an award. It is a gift to high technology.
"Congratulations, Mr. An!" The people in the box directly congratulated him.
Although there are no words related to him on the movie list, anyone with a discerning eye knows the importance of the technology provider. Mastering this channel is equivalent to grasping the future trend. Not too much, but it's hot, and the future is worth taking a gamble on.
An Feng also accepted their congratulations with a smile.
Although he didn't get the statuette, through layers of relationships, the technology of holographic projection is finally affected. An Feng simply imagined that in addition to promoting the luxury of holographic environment, it is also good as a movie technology... Anyway, in the end can bring him profit.
After the awards ceremony, transfer to the Sunset Tower Hotel to attend the Oscar dinner.
This is a celebratory party, with a higher standard than an award ceremony, and it is more flocking. There are a lot of unspoken rules and transactions in the party, including the unspoken rules between fashion magazines and famous brand advertisements, celebrities and their public relations.
Bida Company provided high-end drinks for this dinner and spent a lot of money.
But the award ceremony was delayed too late. If it wasn't for Romano's kind invitation, An Feng should have gone home considering Joanna's health. This time, to save face, he went back to the car first, took out the exquisite snacks prepared in the afternoon, let Joanna eat some, and then drank some biological drinks.
After being refreshed, Rolls-Royce continued to set off.
There is also a catwalk this time, whether it is an award or not, you can continue to appear in front of hundreds of media people if you are happy, showing off= coquettish. Joanna hadn't been reduced to the point of being watched and entertained, so she went directly to the tycoon-only passage and was escorted into the arena by bodyguards. There are also reporters in the arena, but the number is smaller. Everyone's eyes are on the stars, and they have no time to take care of the big shots.
Several important people sit down at the table.
This is the busiest business that An Feng has ever talked about, with the most irrelevant personnel, but if it happens one by one, he doesn't have that much time, so he just takes this opportunity to talk to six or seven well-known film companies in Hollywood. High-level talk about the cooperation of holographic films.
This is actually a matter of a business card. Everyone wants to talk to the boss in person. The purpose is to seize the opportunity, but unfortunately An Feng is a typical shopkeeper who throws his hands away. —Give each of them a company business card.
After dismissing them, An Feng concentrated on his own affairs.
To say that this trip also has an element of watching the excitement, it is the first time to get close to so many Hollywood movie stars, and to be honest, billionaires will also have favorite movies and favorite stars. It doesn’t mean that after tens of billions, the realm will be transcended. An Feng caught sight of many familiar characters on the spot.
Romano was with Roger, so he was also at An Feng's side. Seeing his eyes sweeping the audience, Romano asked, "Does Mr. An have any friends?"
"No." An Feng shook his head, "I just took a closer look at these big names."
"If Mr. An wants to like it, I can let them come here at any time." Romano is very confident, it is nothing more than adding a degree of exposure, just like the actress who was not well-known before, appeared on the cover of a fashion magazine after the dinner. The unspoken rules are already blatant.
"It's not necessary." An Feng said with a smile, Romano was getting close to him.
Although he didn't have much interest in dealing with these people, Romano was very attentive to An Feng. He praised Joanna. After An Feng was happy, he continued to talk about other things, and then talked about things with Roger... When it comes to investing in movies, An Feng has a lot to talk about.
An Feng said: "I am more interested in future themes, such as robots and artificial intelligence, topics that can be explored in depth, such as whether robots can replace humans, whether artificial intelligence will have an independent personality after it has consciousness, and cause chaos...I like it The thought process inside."
Romano said: "Mr. An, I do know that many editors design these scripts, especially after GP has vigorously developed in the field of intelligence in recent years."
"Really?" An Feng became interested.
