Plagiarism - 1968 [-], Hollywood Has Fallen

The interior of the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium is now brightly lit and richly decorated.

Most of the people sitting in the front row are nominated actors and crew members and their crew members, and most of the people sitting in the middle are senior executives of major film companies, as well as influential seniors in the film industry and famous people in the film industry.

Cantona sits in the center, and to his left are his three young men, Eisner, Diller and Ruel van Rossi.On his right is Evans, the president of Paramount, and they are having a friendly chat.

If it weren't for "The Graduate," Paramount might not even have an Oscar nomination this time around.However, "The Graduate" also lived up to Evans' high expectations. It not only won several Golden Globes, but also won the Oscars, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, and Best Actress. Waiting for 7 nominations.So, today, Evans looked refreshed and in high spirits.

"Oh, old man, you are the president of 4 companies now, and the burden on your shoulders is not light. Tang mocked that guy as a devil, and he clearly squeezed you. Next time I meet him, I want Tell him about him. Are you… can you take it physically?" Evans, who has been a friend of Cantona for many years, lamented how difficult it was for his friend.

Cantona smiled slightly and said: "No need. In fact, Mr. Tang Xiao is a respectable boss, and he didn't treat me badly at all. On the contrary, I am very happy working in Tang Dynasty Group Company. Oh, this is me The happiest year in decades. Nuo, look at my young lads, all of them seem to have inexhaustible strength, and each of them has their own strength. I can't do without them ,Ha ha."

Seeing his friend's happy appearance, Evans stopped talking about it. He suddenly said softly: "Old man, you should have heard about it? Columbia was acquired by Sony, and the previous Shaw Brothers acquisition in Hong Kong MGM, five of the eight major film companies in Hollywood have fallen."

"Yeah, the Japanese are not good at coming." Cantona also sighed: "Among the remaining three companies, apart from Paramount's strong strength, Century Fox has long wanted to let go, and Universal is even more powerful. A small company that has degenerated into only making low-budget films."

Evans said with a sassy smile: "Century Fox will not let go easily now. Their "Letter from Iwo Jima" last year made them a lot of money. Now, the film market has obviously improved. I think Darryl Zanuck that old guy wants to ask you guys for scripts again now. However, as you said, Universal has fallen, and I think it may also be the next target of Japanese corporate acquisitions. So, Paramount Decided to buy Universal first, please tell that guy Tang Xiao not to intervene again."

"Haha, don't worry, Tang Dynasty Group now owns three Hollywood film companies and a large TV company. We won't acquire a film company for at least five years." Cantona laughed, He understood that Evans was afraid of his boss's mocking.

They were talking happily when an oriental woman came to them with an old man.

Cantona stood up and said softly to Evans, "This is Fang Yat-wah, the president of Shaw Brothers MGM. The person behind her may be Mr. Run Run Shaw, the boss of Hong Kong Shaw Brothers."

Evans also stood up, Cantona stretched out his hand to hold Fang Yat-hua, but fixed his eyes on Run Run Shaw and said, "Welcome to the beautiful Miss Fang, must this be the famous Mr. Run Run Shaw?"

Run Run Shaw smiled heartily and said: "Mr. Cantona is too polite, I am Run Run Shaw. I, Shao, also sincerely admire Mr. Cantona's talent. Tang Dynasty Warner, Tang Dynasty Disney, Tang Dynasty United Arts and It is really enviable that Universal Television has achieved such impressive results in less than a year."

"To each other, to each other..." Cantona responded politely to Run Run Shaw, and then introduced to them: "This is my good friend and the president of Paramount Pictures, Mr. Evans."

"Long admiration, long admiration..." Run Run Shaw and Evans were polite again.At this time, Eisner, Diller and Ruhr Van Rossi beside Cantona had voluntarily given up their seats.

Just as Run Run Shaw sat down, a tall old man walked in with a smile. Cantona and Evans stood up again. Cantona smiled and stretched out his hand and said, "Welcome Mr. Daryl Zanuck, oh , I haven't seen you for a few years, you are still so young! What did you eat to grow up like this?"

Here comes Darryl Zanuck, the president of Century Fox.

Evans even smiled and said: "Darryl, you are not taking the same drug as Audrey Hepburn, are you? Why don't you hurry up and make a movie to compete for next year's Oscar winner?"

"Hahaha..." Darryl Zanuck laughed heartily, attracting many people's attention. He said with a smile, "Are you two guys envious? Haha, I won't go for the Oscar winner." Yes, but I will challenge Bruce Lee later! Haha..."

"Old man, you look happy?"

"Haha, can I be unhappy? When I came in just now, I saw that arrogant Japanese being expelled from the Oscar venue. Haha, it's so funny..."

"Is there such a thing?" Cantona, Evans and Run Run Shaw all came in too early, so they didn't know what happened on the red carpet just now.

"It's like this..." Darryl Zanuck frothed out what he had just seen, and then laughed again.

While he was laughing, a well-bred oriental man in his 40s approached with a smile. He stared at Cantona and said, "This must be Mr. Cantona? This is Mr. Cantona. Mr. Evans? This is Mr. Darrell? This is... Mr. Run Run Shaw and Ms. Fang Yat-wah? I am the president of Sony Pictures, the former Columbia Pictures. My name is Shizumi Yagyu. We meet you for the first time. Please Take care!"

After speaking, he bowed deeply to several of them.

"Oh, dear Mr. Yagyu, I seem to have heard that Mr. Akio Morita, chairman of Sony Corporation, is going to attend the Oscar ceremony in person. Where is he?" Darryl Zanuck teased the Japanese knowingly.

Yagyu Shizumi said embarrassingly: "Oh, Mr. Darryl Zanuck, our president has something urgent to do, so we can't come to the Oscar ceremony."

"Hahaha..." Darryl Zanuck laughed wantonly again.
