This is year 2120. A thousand years ago, humanity was introduced to the Delta-Psi virus. This virus is not really lethal yet it lead the whole human race to the brink of extinction that lasted for almost seven centuries.

Up to this day, we are living on a system called Districts. Humans have to be segregated according to their sense-dominance to keep the virus from mutating to its infinite possibilities of random mutation. 

An archive which had been concealed by our ancestors ten generations ago is, eventually, being stitched back to its wholeness. Could this be the answer to this perpetuating crisis or a door to a much worse tomorrow?

Two days later.
Shanghai.
The annual Music Awards Ceremony was held.
The stars gathered and the awards were given out one after another.
"The nominees for the Best Lyrics Award are: Chen Guang, 'A Small World'; Zhang Ye, 'Exaggerated'; Zhang Ye, 'I Really Love You'; Zhao Yunji, 'Blossom of a Dream'; Sun Tiandong, 'White Birch.' And now for the announcement of the winner for this year's Best Lyrics Award—the winner is…Zhang Ye! 'Exaggerated!'"
Applause rang out!
Everyone gave their congratulations.
"Congratulations!"
"Haha, congratulations, Director Zhang!"
"This is a good start!"
"There was no doubt that Teacher Zhang would win this award!"
"Yeah, he has written so many good songs this year."
"Yeah, if we really base it on the quality of the lyrics, it wouldn't be too much even if Zhang Ye had ten of his songs shortlisted for the Best Lyrics Award."
"For this award, Old Chen is still not a match for him."
"Zhang Ye has total dominance here."
"It's time for the song composition award."
"Let's see who wins the Best Composition Award."
Moving on.
The next award was announced.
"The nominees for the Best Composition Award are: Zhang Ye, 'I Am What I Am'; Shu Han, 'A Little Dance Tune'; Zhang Ye, 'Because of Love'; Xu Qi, 'Boundless Spring.' Now to announce the winner of this year's Best Composition Award. And the winner is…Teacher Zhang Ye! 'Because of Love!'"
There was applause!
"Wow!"
"Another one!"
"Impressive, Teacher Zhang!"
"Director Zhang, you owe us three meals now!"
"You've won both the annual lyrics and song composition awards! Only two people have achieved this in the history of the music awards!"
"Yeah, only two people have won it simultaneously!"
"Don't worry, there's still the Song of the Year Award up for grabs."
"Yeah, Zhang Ye might just become the first person in history to win all three of those awards!"
Finally, it was time to announce the Song of the Year Award.
"And the award for Song of the Year goes to—"
"Which is the first song that comes to everyone's minds?"
"Which song will it be?"
"I hereby announce that the award for Song of the Year goes to—'The King of Karaoke!'"
Applause rang out through the venue!
A lot of people even gave a standing ovation and cheered Zhang Ye!
"This song is truly good!"
"He's gotten the trifecta!"
"It's the first time that this has happened!"
"Three of the most important awards have been presented to Zhang Ye!"
"It's a pity that he did not win the Best Arrangement Award as well."
"Other than the Best Newcomer, the Best Arrangement, the Best Band, the Best Group, and some of the other awards, Zhang Ye has gotten all that he could get!"
"Zhang Ye is definitely the biggest winner tonight!"
…
The next day.
Nanjing.
The Film Awards Ceremony was held.
The Best Actor, the Best Actress, the Best Director, the Best Screenwriter, the Best Adaptation, and other film awards were given out.
All of these awards naturally had nothing to do with Zhang Ye.
…
And the day after that.
At night.
The annual Best Director Award was given out.
This was a directing awards ceremony that was independent of the film industry awards.
"The annual award for Best Variety Director goes to—Zhang Ye!"
"The annual award for Best Film Director goes to—Li Ke!"
"The annual award for Best Director goes to—Zhang! Ye!"
This announcement for the final award shocked many industry insiders!
"What?"
"The Best Director Award was given to Zhang Ye?"
"Ah?"
"That is way too surprising!"
"The darkest dark horse has won!"
"This is a top award that covers all of the other Director Awards. It's usually given out to a film director since the artistic qualities of a film definitely surpass those of the variety and TV industries. It's always been the case every year, so why was it given out to a variety director this time? This is unprecedented!"
"It wasn't given out to a variety director."
"Then what is it for?"
"The highest honor in directing was given out to the gala director!"
"You mean the Spring Festival Gala?"
"So that's how it is!"
"You've enlightened me!"
"It makes sense if that's the case! So it was presented to the executive director of the Spring Festival Gala!"
"With the heights that this year's Spring Festival Gala has reached, the presentation of this award is indeed faultless!"
…
On the same night.
At another awards ceremony that was held at the same time.
"The award for Best Dance goes to—"
"There's absolutely no suspense to who's winning this prize."
"And the winner is—'Thousand-Hand Guanyin!'"
The "Thousand-Hand Guanyin" was awarded the highest prize in the dance category!
As the choreographer and planner of this dance, Zhang Ye went up on stage to accept the award with Qi Xiaomei and a representative of the deaf-mute dance troupe.
…
Another day later.
At the venue of an awards ceremony.
"Next, we will be announcing the Outstanding Artist of the Year Award."
"And the winner is—Zhang Ye!"
…
One.
Five.
Ten.
Over several days, many awards were given out.
In this time, Zhang Ye collected so many awards that his hands went soft.
Of the many awards given out, only a few of them counted as the highest awards and would count towards the popularity score in the celebrity rankings. Most of the other awards did not contribute any points to a celebrity's popularity, like the Most Outstanding Artist of the Year, which may sound quite important, but was in fact just a prize that was given out by some local organizations rather than being some national award. Then, there were the awards like the online Most Talked About Person Award or the Most Popular Weibo Figure Award, which Zhang Ye also won, and could still be considered honorable prizes. This clearly showed the affirmation from the organizations and the people of Zhang Ye, so it didn't really matter whether it would contribute to the popularity scores or not.
All kinds of random accolades.
All kinds of mainstream prizes.
All kinds of the highest awards.
Zhang Ye had won a total of twelve of them and was ranked third among all of the celebrities to receive an award!
…
The netizens were very surprised:
"Zhang Ye is on a crazy streak!"
"Why is he winning so many awards!"
"With him winning all of those awards, can he even fit everything in his house? Hahaha!"
"Last year was a harvest for Zhang Ye, ascending to the S-list and winning all kinds of awards. There isn't anyone else who's had it more glorious than him."
"Yeah, even though Sister Zhang has garnered more prizes than Zhang Ye, most of her awards are related to the film industry. Zhang Ye wasn't even involved in any films or TV series, but if he really acted in them and didn't do too badly, he would likely get more awards than Sister Zhang."
"That ex-Heavenly King can't catch up anymore!"
"Yeah, their popularity scores have pulled apart from each other!"
"Zhang Ye has finally stabilized his position in the domestic S-list rankings!"
"It's the new year now. What do you guys think Zhang Ye will do?"
"Who knows?"
"He's already near the top in the domestic market, right?"
"Could Zhang Ye be gunning for a place in Asia next?"
"That sounds likely!"
…
On this day.
The final awards ceremony concluded.
At night, Zhang Ye drove home. The moment he opened the door to the villa, he jumped at the sight before him. The interior of the large house had been decorated and brightly lit!
Pop!
Pop!
Confetti streamed down!
A big crowd of people were applauding and screaming!
"Director Zhang!"
"Congratulations!"
"We're here to celebrate for you!"
"Let's enjoy this together!"
"Hahaha!"
"We were fantastic last year!"
Wu Zeqing stood on the side with a smile and watched everyone as they enjoyed themselves. Ha Qiqi, Zhang Zuo, Little Wang, Tong Fu, and the other employees from the studio had all come over. All of them looked really happy.
Zhang Ye also smiled. "What's with all of this?"
Ha Qiqi said, "We're here to throw you a party, of course."
Zhang Ye said happily, "Well, thank you."
"There's also a cake." Little Wang hummed a tune as she pushed the cake over. "Director Zhang, please cut it."
Zhang Ye looked at Old Wu. "Did you arrange this?"
Wu Zeqing smiled. "It has nothing to do with me. It was them who arranged this for you."
Zhang Zuo laughed and said, "You've reached the summit of the entertainment circle, yet we still haven't officially thrown a party for you. Now you've won so many awards, of which five are even the highest awards! This has helped our popularity score pull away by a large distance and there isn't a need to worry about being caught up to. We can finally celebrate in peace now."
"Let's have some cake."
"Here comes the wine."
"Come, cheers!"
"Everyone, cheers!"
It was extremely lively inside the house and everyone was very excited.
Becoming a Heavenly King!
Winning countless awards!
These were the results and harvests of Zhang Ye's past year!
Ha Qiqi, who had had a few sips of red wine, was already starting to ramble quite a bit. "Director Zhang, we've already achieved the goals that were set last year, and even completed them beyond expectations. Now that the 'Reach the Summit' plan has been realized and we're into the new year, why don't you set a new target for us? What shall we do this year? Which direction should we head in? We're at your disposal!"
Zhang Ye smiled and said, "This year? It's probably time to make a push in Asia?"
Everyone's eyes lit up.
"Asia?"
"Alright!"
"We should have aimed for the Asian region long ago!"
"Compared to the popularity we've domestically, we're still quite far behind on the Asian stage."
"Yeah, we might also be on the A-list in Asia, but our ranking is very far at the bottom. Moreover, once we head out of our own country, we're actually not that well-known to others. We're actually just somewhat on par with the other Asian B-listers because a large part of the popularity score is influenced by our ranking domestically. Since our popularity score in the country is rather high, it was this that pushed us up forcefully on the Asian rankings."
"Right, there's potential for development in Asia!"
"Yes, there's a lot of potential actually."
"Alright then, it's settled!"
"We'll listen to Director Zhang for orders."
Everyone got very excited and was full of confidence like never before.
Ha Qiqi said, "What a coincidence then, Director Zhang. We've just received an invitation at the studio that we haven't had time to tell you about. An event is about to take place in Asia, and since you haven't traveled out of the country before, why don't we take this opportunity to make an appearance in Asia? We can increase our visibility, and maybe scout out some opportunities along the way?"
Zhang Ye agreed, "That sounds great."
Ha Qiqi nodded. "Alright, I'll reply to them then."
"Come! Let's make another toast!"
"Our target is the Asian S-list!"
"Alright, the target is to become an Asian Heavenly King!"
"Cheers!"
"Cheers!"
And just like this, the goal for this year was set!

But no rumors degraded neither his fame nor his glory. His fame only got increased along with the years. When the young woman saw the standing ovation to her uncle, the pride in her eyes is clearly visible.

The award ceremony resumed from there. The award for best cinematography is given to an art cinematographer for an art film. the art film is one of the best films produced in this year.

Her love for him disappeared into thin air when he made her abort their unborn baby, which is a symbol of her love for him.

The woman who lost her prime time to be a heroine will be able to get her revenge..?

Or else like every other person who ignored their family will be left on the roads with no help and support.

Last year's IAAF Japan Grand Prix detonated the US stimulant scandal and half of the track and field circles that affected the United States fell. Perhaps the outside world does not know the detailed process of this matter, but many athletes and coaches in the track and field circle have a general understanding of the process, including Kondo Kumi who found that Gatlin has problems, plus Japan's second-longest intentional concealment, and including the attempted robbery, etc.

Perhaps because of this incident, many track and field athletes regard Osaka as an ominous place. It is said that Chinese people are superstitious, and foreigners are more superstitious, especially those athletes who sneakily use stimulants, and they dare not come to participate in Japan, so the popularity of the Japanese Grand Prix has dropped sharply.

In the absence of competitors, Zhang Guan easily won the championship of the 100-meter sprint event and returned home after earning a bonus and appearance fee.

A week later, the IAAF Super Grand Prix in Qatar was held in Doha.

The Qatari people don't lack money and give a lot of appearance fees, so they still attract some excellent athletes to come to participate, and Zhang Guan is, of course, the biggest star of this competition and receives the highest standard of reception.

However, there are still no well-known European and American players in this race. The only one that is more powerful is the American Tyson Gay. However, Gay is still one level worse than Zhang Guan, so Zhang Guan easily won the 100-meter sprint again.

In addition to Tyson Gay, another player also caught Zhang Guan's attention. He is a Nigerian player. He only ran 10.24 seconds in the game. His name is Samuel Francis. 

If Zhang Guan didn't turn out, Francis from Nigeria will immediately be naturalized to Qatar, and in 2007 he will break the 100-meter sprint Asian record, becoming the first Asian player to run within 10 seconds, and in the 2008 Olympic Games, he represented Qatar in the semi-finals of the Olympic Games. After that, the Gulf countries that have tasted the sweetness began to have a large number of naturalized African athletes. There are African naturalized athletes in track and field events such as sprinting, middle running, long-distance running and jumping. The "Chemical Corps" has become the main opponent of the national track and field team in Asia.

Although Francis is currently a Nigerian player, he appeared on the Qatar field, which clearly shows that the naturalized legion of the Middle Eastern countries is coming!

...

On May 23, Barcelona, ​​Spain, Zhang Guan, and Sharapova appeared together at the awards ceremony of the Lawrence Sports Awards.

This time, Zhang Guan was nominated for the Best Male Athlete Award and the most gold awards in the Lawrence Awards, while Zhang Guan's competitors this time are really strong.

From the record of last year, the car king Schumacher became the weakest one in the nomination. He did not win the Formula One championship, but it is said that he will retire after the season. As a legendary athlete, he will retire, this kind of thing can add points to the selection.

Golfer Tiger Woods entered his heyday last year. He won the Buick Invitational, Ford Championship, American Masters, British Open, WGC Championship, and so on.

But in comparison, Woods' results last year were not as good as those of tennis king Federer. Federer's overall record last year was 81 wins and 4 losses, second only to the 82 wins and 3 losses created by McEnroe. Federer won 11 singles titles in the previous year, including two Grand Slam titles and four A master series champion, the results are impressive. And the Lawrence Award has always favored tennis players, Federer has an advantage in this regard.

But in the nomination of the best male athlete, the player with the highest voice is not Federer, but the football player Ronaldinho. Ronaldinho led Barcelona last season, not only defending the La Liga title but also defeating Arsenal to win the Champions League. Ronaldinho also won two major awards of Mr. European Football and Mr. World Football last year, and this time the selection of the Lawrence Awards was held at Ronaldinho's home Barcelona, ​​which added a lot of momentum to Ronaldinho.

When it comes to the results achieved last year, none of these athletes can match Zhang Guan. In the previous year, Zhang Guan broke the world record for men's 100-meter sprint three times, broke the world record for men's 60-meter two times, broke the Asian records for 200-meter sprint and 400-meter sprint. The final prize was won, and in all the competitions, he won the championship without losing.

No one has ever achieved this result in history. Just breaking the world record of the men's 100-meter sprint three times a year is enough to sweep other nominated players.

The award ceremony finally began, and one after another the award was revealed. The best-disabled athlete went to Van Dyke, the best economic spirit award went to Rossi, the life-time award Cruyff are football players, the best pay award went to Hingis, the best newcomer award went to Nadal who were tennis players, the best team award was given to the Renault team, and the best female athlete was given to Alpine skier Costric.

After the award of the best female athlete, the award of the best male athlete came.

In the guest area, Sharapova said softly to Zhang Guan, "Your hope is great. Both football and tennis have won several weighty awards, and there are currently none for track and field events."

Zhang Guan nodded, then shook his head again, "The chance of a football player getting the best male athlete is not high, and Ronaldinho is far from the reputation of Bailey or Maradona. It is estimated that Ronaldinho would not be able to win the best male athlete. But Federer's chances of winning are still very high."

"A total of four female track and field athletes nominated the best female athletes, including Isinbayeva and long-distance Queen Di Baba, but both failed to win the best female athletes. I think the selection committee should give some to the track and field events!" Sharapova said.

At this time, the awarding guests began to announce the list of winners.

"The winner of the 7th World Lawrence Sports Award for Best Male Athlete is Zhang Guan!"

The camera immediately pointed to Zhang Guan, and immediately next to Sharapova kissed Zhang Guan.

Subsequently, Zhang Guan stood up and embraced Federer, Ronaldinho, Schumacher, and others, and the audience applauded in the audience to receive the award.

The best male athlete of Lawrence is definitely worthy of Zhang Guan, and Zhang Guan is also the first Asian to win the award of the best male athlete of Lawrence, and also the fifth athlete to win this award.

The Lawrence Sports Awards have been held for the seventh time, and the only winners of the Lawrence Best Male Athletes were Tiger Woods (twice), Schumacher (twice), Tour de France King Armstrong, and Tennis King Federer. The four individuals are also the nail households nominated for the Best Male Athlete Awards every year. Almost every nomination for the Best Male Athlete has them. Today, there is another crown in this nail household club.

...

After the award ceremony of the Lawrence Awards, Zhang Guan did not choose to return to his country but continued to stay in Europe, because in another week, he will rush to Norway to participate in this year's IAAF Golden League opening game. And Sharapova will also separate from Zhang Guan, she is going to France to participate in this year's French Open.

A week later, Oslo, Norway.

Yu Gui directed a list of entries to Zhang Guan, and then said, "Look, there are people that you didn't expect here this time."

Zhang Guan took the list and looked carefully. First of all, he found the name of Powell. Another Jamaican player was Michael Flat.

"Powell's injury has been healed for seven or eight months! I don't know how he is now." Zhang Guan asked.

Coach Yu thought about it and said, "Powell won the championship of 10.02 seconds in the Commonwealth Games a few days ago, but this result has no reference value for him."

Zhang Guan bowed his head and recalled carefully. The original Gatlin was suspended in 2006, and for this reason, Powell did not seem to have encountered a decent opponent in 2006. Although Powell has been winning the championship this year he did achieve a high enough score, it may be that the opponent is not strong enough. It wasn't until the rise of American Tyson Gay in 2007 that Powell began to come up with a real strength game and set a world record of 9.74 seconds.

Another Jamaican player, Michael Flat, was directly ignored by Zhang Guan. Flat also participated in the Athens Olympics and was eliminated in the semi-finals. His 100-meter sprint strength is similar to that of Kim Collins, and he is considered a first-class player, but not to the top level.

Zhang Guan continued to look along with the list, with old acquaintances Obik Viru and Kim Collins on the list.

"Orusoki Fasuba, Nigerian? Was it the guy who participated in the World Championships in track and field last year?" Zhang Guan asked.

"Yes, Fasuba is two years older than you. The Athens Olympics men's 4-time 100-meter relay bronze medalist, ran a 9.85-second result the other day, breaking the record of the 100-meter sprint in Africa." He smiled and glared at Zhang Guan, then said, "He was called "African Zhang Guan" by Nigerian media."

"African Zhang Guan?" Zhang Guan said unexpectedly, "I didn't expect that my African brothers would look down on me so much!"

"If it weren't for the fact that America and Europe had their 100-meter well-known players, maybe the "American Championship" and the "European Championship" would have been an option. But there is no famous sprinter in Australia!" Yu Gui said with a smile.

Zhang Guan shook his head helplessly and then continued to read.

"The United States sent three people! Shawn Crawford is here? He is quite strong and is at the same level as Maurice Greene and Tyson Gay is here, Tim-Montgomery? Montgomery? Is it the same name? Or is it that Montgomery?" Zhang Guan raised his head in surprise.

Coach Yu nodded seriously, "Yes, that is Montgomery! The former world record holder can also be said to be your predecessor."

This is not my original work, I just wanted to continue this novel so I’m translating it on my own free time. Please Enjoy

What will happen when the rising tide of the new generation meets the stubbornly conservative Academy?
 
Since the Toronto Film Festival, there has been a lot of hype in the media about the heyday of "Generation Y" actors, and this year, a large number of new generation actors did emerge, which made the nomination list full of expectations, but the truth is: it was difficult.
 
The mighty heat wave is like encountering the Siberian cold wind, and all the restlessness, excitement and chaos are quietly calmed down. Although it will not be completely discouraged, disappointment is inevitable.
 
The first is the supporting actor category, which has relatively little change.
 
In the Best Supporting Actress category, Melissa Leo and Amy Adams for "The Fighter", Helena Bonham Carter for "The King's Speech" and Jacki Weaver for "Animal Kingdom", without a doubt, continued the awards season's momentum by collecting nominations.
 
The only exception lies in the fact that Mila Kunis of "Black Swan", even though she won a special commendation from the Venice Film Festival, still failed to get the Academy's favor. Instead, it was Hailee-Steinfeld for "True Grit", who, at the age of 14, was a stunning hit.
 
Among the nominees for Best Supporting Actor, Christian Bale for "The Fighter", Geoffrey Rush for "The King's Speech", Jeremy Renner for "The Town", Mark Ruffalo for "The Kids Are All Right" and John Hawkes for "Winter's Bone" won their nominations.
 
Previously, the only one with the strength of the nomination "Generation Y" actor Andrew Garfield, even with the support of "The Social Network", ultimately lost the nomination, causing a wave of regret.
 
The second is the all-in-one lead actor department.
 
Relatively speaking, there were disappointments and surprises in the Best Actress category.
 
Disappointed are Anne Hathaway, Emma Stone, Julianne Moore and other actresses who dropped out, the difficulty of comedy works wanting to harvest nominations, it is really discouraging; and the rise of the new generation momentum suffered a severe blow -
 
As it turns out, even though the average age of winners is relatively young, with the average stabilizing at around thirty-seven over the years, it is still an insurmountable mountain for the young.
 
The surprise was that Jennifer Lawrence, who is 20 years old this year, received her first career Oscar nomination for her amazing performance in "Winter's Bone", while Michelle Williams received her second personal Oscar nomination after "Brokeback Mountain".
 
In addition to the two young people, Nicole Kidman with "Rabbit Hole" after eight years again to harvest nominations, Annette Bening is relying on "The Kids Are All Right" fourth impact on the Oscar small gold. This is all worth waiting for.
 
The last nomination seat went to Natalie Portman.
 
Although she has experienced the furore of the body double gate, her reputation and reputation suffered a severe blow, but the excellent performance in "Black Swan" still won Natalie the ticket to the small gold medal.
 
If you can successfully win the award, then Natalie will become the "Generation Y" among the first actor to harvest the small gold medal, this feat has also become one of the important attractions of this year's Oscars. However, before the fierce momentum of Natalie, but because of the entanglement of the body double door, deep in the mire, now the overall momentum is not clear.
 
Annette is undoubtedly the strongest challenger - she is one of the Academy's favorite actresses, her husband Warren Beatty is one of the Academy's most authoritative members, she is also one of the most sobering legacies in Oscar history, she is also one of Hollywood's most hard-working actors, she is also a solid basic performance on behalf of the expressionist school.
 
Each of the previous three misses has been saddening, should Annette be allowed to miss out a fourth time?
 
A rising momentum, a downward momentum, between the staggering, hard to predict the winner. This year's Oscars, the battle for Best Actress is bound to be a battle of dragons and tigers, which is really exciting.
 
If you say, the best supporting actor, best supporting actress, best actress are unpredictable in a small accident, but the overall pattern is a continuation of the awards season, then the best actor can definitely be described as a shaky ground, and can even be described as a cold explosion.
 
Among the five nominated seats, "The King's Speech" Colin Firth and "The Social Network" Jesse Eisenberg, the awards season's advantage continued, there is no danger of harvesting their own nomination seats.
 
This is the first Oscar nomination for the twenty-seven-year-old Jesse, who has been active in the field of independent films, the distinctive actor, finally entered the public eye with "The Social Network", the first nomination is the best affirmation.
 
As for Colin, this is the second year in a row that he has been nominated in the battle for the film, last year's "A Single Man" was highly acclaimed, and in the outpost among the momentum is really good, but in the final stage lost to Jeff Bridges, so many people feel regret. This year, he is back and will once again face off with Jeff.
 
Jeff, with his "True Grit" performance, was among the finalists for Best Actor for the second year in a row.
 
However, just as "True Grit" came out of nowhere, Jeff was almost a total failure in the previous outposts, and was able to win the nomination over a host of competitors in the final sprint, which simply broke glasses all over the floor.
 
It's not that Jeff is not good enough, it's just that he just topped last year with "Crazy Heart", thirty years of merit votes have begun to fall, "True Grit" in the first half of the awards season is not obvious; not to mention, his performance in the film also did not break the formula. It's not bad, but it's hardly a surprise, let alone a breakthrough.
 
Compared to this year's stabbing contest, Jeff's selection only makes everyone feel sorry for the other unsuccessful actors.
 
As Jeff came out of nowhere to occupy a nomination seat, the competition pattern became immediately tense, but what was even more disconcerting was that Javier Bardem burst out of the gate for the second time in the lead actor department.
 
The Spanish actor in Hollywood can be described as a boom, 2000 is still a period of unknown, relying on "Before Night Falls" to harvest the first Oscar nominations, and in 2007 with the "no one to rely on" in the wonderful interpretation, strong In 2007, he won the Best Supporting Actor Award with his performance in "No Country for Old Men", and this year, his brilliant performance in "Biutiful" was once again recognized by the Academy and received his third Oscar nomination.
 
The reason why it is cold, on the one hand, because "Biutiful" in the previous awards season competition, or mainly focused on the best foreign language film department; on the other hand, because the Academy is always more demanding on foreign language performances, the history of foreign language acting among the nomination stage of the actors is also very few.
 
But I did not expect that Javier was nominated, but also in the case of this year's new generation of actors so fierce competition, which is really ... dismayed, and even speechless.
 
In this way, there is only one nomination seat.
 
The original has been fierce competition, now more white-hot, even the dedication of the "Inception" and "Shutter Island" two masterpieces of Leonardo DiCaprio also did not get preferential treatment, which really makes people cry and laugh.
 
In the end, after Colin Firth, Jesse Eisenberg, Jeff Bridges and Javier Bardem, Renly Hall became the last of the five nominees for Best Actor!
 
Renly Hall! Renly Hall! Renly Hall!
 
With a superb performance in "Buried," Renly defeated his direct rival, James Franco of "127 Hours", in a stabbing duel for the eighth nomination. He was nominated for his first Academy Award in his career.
 
At the age of 21, Renly beat a series of unfavorable conditions, especially James, who had been gaining momentum, to win the nomination, which is definitely the biggest highlight of this year's Oscar nomination list!
 
Before the Oscar nominations were announced, James was leading the pack with his overall "127 Hours" advantage, holding off Renly by a wide margin. The ABC television station responsible for broadcasting the Oscar ceremony is also more optimistic about James' Oscar prospects, so it boldly broke the rules and chose James to join forces with Anne Hathaway as this year's Oscar host.
 
This unexpected choice is not only the choice of ABC TV to cater to young viewers, but also a microcosm of the strong rise of "Generation Y" this year, which also makes people encouraged and encouraged to report more expectations for the awards ceremony.
 
"127 Hours" and "Buried", two works close to the style, subject matter, genre and focus, the former has the absolute upper hand in the short duel.
 
In the Oscar nomination list, "127 Hours" received a total of five nominations, while "Buried" only received one nomination.
 
Incidentally, "Buried" was out of the running in the most promising categories of Best Original Screenplay and Best Film Editing.
 
Especially for Best Original Screenplay, the five nominees were "The King's Speech", "Inception", "Another Year", "The Fighter" and "The Kids Are All Right". In the face of such competition, "Buried" has every hope of going further, even if it replaces "Another Year" in the nominations, that is not at all unusual.
 
But unfortunately, Chris Sparling's stupid behavior, although not trigger a domino effect, but still more or less affected - this is Hollywood, there is no airless wall. In the end, "Buried" regrettably lost out on the Best Original Screenplay award.
 
Going back to "127 Hours" and "Buried", the former had the upper hand in a head-to-head comparison between the two films, and also won the "Little Best Picture" award. Best Film Editing Award, is considered to be a big hit of this year's Oscars.
 
Who would have guessed that James would lose out to Renly and lose the Best Actor nomination, and that "127 Hours" would lose its Oscar prospects.
 
However, while stifled, more people applauded Renly!
 
From "The Pacific" to "Buried" to "Like Crazy", Renly's breakout performance over the past six months has been nothing short of spectacular, finally culminating in an Oscar nomination. The nomination is in the bag!

After getting the final relief from his past sufferings, Chu Jiashu was given a second chance when he found himself in the body of an infant from an aristocratic family of Hall. Now, nothing is going to stop him from achieving his long-cherished dream of acting. Enter Renly Hall, a Hollywood miracle of 21st century.


Note from the translator - from me, that is.
   
"Honestly, I get frustrated too much when I look at countless subpar novels being translated day after day. So much human resources wasted. I kinda get what Qidian International is doing, but it is just, I can't bear the notion of having so many wonderful novels that belong to the Chinese platform to be left in the dust. English-speaking community should know of the existence of such brilliant works, and more so, they should enjoy them. The novel is by a Chinese dude "Qiqi Jia D Mao Mao", whatever that might mean, who wrote several showbiz novels (he is probably the best at what he is doing). It is not my work, I'm just a dude who, with the help of two free machine translators (DeepL and good ol' Google), can show you a hidden gem. Wait, you said machine translators? Sadly, yes. I can't speak Chinese at all, but fortunately, this novel is structured in a machine-translation-friendly way, like really so. Most of the time context is saved. I'm just polishing the edges with my superb (not really) editing skills, so you all chaps have a splendid experience with this good staff indeed. Actually, you can go and read machine translation or just wait for my updates. Up to you dudes and dudies. And then I go away...blewb, blewb, blewb, blewb, blewb....."

P.S.
"I am a knife for a hire. So the managers of the site can employ me for this novel, but please don't remove it. Oh, please, I'm begging you on my knees. You guys won't even think of translating this novel, and here I am "translating" it for free,.... well for the time being, that is mwahahaha!"

P.S. for P.S.
This novel does not contain the following:
Harem, definitely not NTR, stupid characters, NTR again (God, I hate NTR (secretly beating the meat for a one in hentai))

But this novel contains:
Great storyline, relatable characters, realistic situations, very fun moments as well as tear jerking ones (so much so, you will find your throat hella sore from crying all the time), surprise after surprise for the decisions that author went with.

You will have a good time indeed
WARNING! READ AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION!

Some distance from them, all the big names were walking the red carpet. Superstars were gathered there, their brilliance resplendent. 
Worldwide Entertainment also reaped quite a large harvest this year. Their artists' films were nominated for Best Film, Best Actor, Best Director, Best Screenplay, etc. 
One of the artists under Cai Yongsheng was even nominated for Best Novice. 
The past year's Golden Orchid Awards was a bit unusual in that there weren't a lot of films submitted for Best Novice. A few films were even banned in the country because of their sensitive themes. Hence, there was nearly zero competition for Best Novice, and anyone who met the requirements was nominated. 
This year was different though. All the major awards had intense competition, so it was difficult to be nominated. 
Based on Ye Wanwan's research, the novice under Cai Yongsheng was transferred from the batch of talented novices Chu Hongguang trained at Worldwide. This novice was equipped with the top resources and had an exuberant amount of funds. 
Cai Yongsheng was in high spirits as he led his artist. When he saw Ye Wanwan and her group, he instantly turned contemptuous. "My my, isn't this Ye Bai, Great Manager Ye? I heard your artist was also nominated! Congratulations!" 
The artists from Global around Cai Yongsheng all had strange smiles on their faces. "They were nominated for Best Companion, weren't they…"
"Pft, if it weren't for Red Lotus's artist being caught using drugs and causing this film to be banned, they wouldn't have had a chance." 
"They really got a huge-ass stroke of luck!"
…
The film, Red Lotus, that they spoke of was also a popular nominee for Best Actor. However, one of the artists in the film was caught taking drugs, so it caused the entire film to be banned. Hence, everyone in the industry thought A Life and Death Struggle got a huge-ass stroke of luck and filled the empty spot. 
Cai Yongsheng sardonically looked at Gong Xu and Luo Chen and intentionally said to the female artist next to him, "Ay, young people are still too naive. Now that they've suffered a loss, they probably feel regretful. However, it's too late now. I gave them a chance but they sadly didn't treasure it. Now they want to come back? They should wash themselves squeaky clean and line up in the back…" 
After he said that, he gloatingly walked toward the red carpet. 
Cai Yongsheng's voice wasn't loud, but it was loud enough for Ye Wanwan and her group to hear. 
Gong Xu pulled up his sleeves and angrily shouted, "He squandered so many resources only to get a Best Novice Award nominee, what the h*ll is he so proud about? If you had the same resources, Brother Ye, that would be enough to pocket the entire Golden Orchid Awards!"
Ye Wanwan said, "Put down your sleeves."
"Oh…" 
After Worldwide Entertainment's people left, Emperor Sky Entertainment was next. 
This year, Emperor Sky Entertainment was nominated for more than half of the awards. They had artists nominated for most major awards like Best Director, Best Film, Best Actor, and Best Actress, so they could be considered the biggest winner this time. 
With every big-name, popular potential award winner that passed by, fervent shouting swept through the area.
The climax was when Ye Yiyi and the current hottest star under Emperor Sky, Ling Shaozhe, walked by. 
Although Ling Shaozhe himself wasn't nominated, the film he was in was nominated for 7-8 major awards and had the best box office performance this year, so his popularity couldn't be contained. 
The entertainment industry was like this. Perhaps you weren't the most capable, but you had a grand tree behind you, so you could soar to the sky with its help.
"Miss Yiyi, everyone knows Emperor Sky Entertainment is booming with success this year and was nominated for countless awards. No wonder you're the leader of our entertainment industry…" 
On stage, the hosts lavished Emperor Sky Entertainment with all sorts of praises and took up a large amount of time.
Then a staff member hurriedly walked to Ye Mufan and said, "There's not enough time. Everyone from your group will go up together later!"


“How perverted is Si Ye Han's taste? He still wants me like this?” Waking up, she looked at her reflection in the mirror: explosive wig, tattoos, and demon-like makeup. Any normal person’s eyes would burn if they looked at her for more than a second.
Before her rebirth, she was in love with a different guy, so all she wanted to do was escape from Si Ye Han and hated him to his core after being locked up by him. 
After her rebirth, she looked differently at him, thinking that maybe he changed for the better?
In the past, her mind was muddled. She let go of a stunning husband, was hurt by a scumbag and backstabber and most of all, was brainwashed by her most trusted friend. In the end, she was utterly alone.
In her current lifetime, there are evil people scheming and eagerly waiting for her downfall. Sorry, but this girl won’t fall for the same tricks twice!

Akashi was sitting looking out at the almost completed village, he was thinking about things, mostly about far into the future and his plans to make his village the best he could, but after a while, he realized thinking hundreds of years into the future was not a very effective thing to do.
He then stepped out of his office and looked at the soon to be complete village, the location was beautiful. They had huge mountains that stretched miles long, beautiful flowing rivers, lush trees that were even better than the Konoha's, and best of all, it was always cool and sunny. Everything about it was amazing.
Akashi's personal favorite part would have to be the huge mountains, they were surrounding the village and there was only one small gap to get in through, so they don't need walls like most villages. It was the best defense, unless you were somebody like Madara it would be extremely hard to break into the village.
Now all he had to do was wait for the other villages to be created, the only problem with that was that there would be 6 villages and he didn't like the sound of that so he would just get rid of one.
He would probably get rid of the Mist. There are two reasons for this. One they were his least favorite out of all the villages. And two the 7 legendary swords of the mist, those swords would increase the power of his village a lot, if he could teach the jinchuriki kenjutsu and give them the blades they would be much stronger.
He had thought about becoming a jinchuriki many times but did not see the need to. He could already fight the strongest like Madara and Hashirama, and just in case he died it was more important to the village that it still had somebody that had enough strength.
Akashi also planned to learn some Kenjutsu, he would probably choose the Needle out of all the blades because of its usefulness to capture enemies, and with his ability to teleport it could make for a very deadly combo.
When he did destroy the mist he should probably get an ally to help, don't get me wrong I do think we could win, but why take the chance. The best ally he could get at the moment would probably be the leaf but he didn't really like Hashirama, so he would probably ask the Raikage.
The thought of fighting the 7 swordsmen of the mist was fun for him.
After taking his break he had to return to do more god damn paperwork. But this was extremely Important because he would be looking at teaching resumes for the teaching positions. After looking through all of them these are the people he selected 
Normal Academy
1st year- Inata Orihisa, he was a 2star Chunin but had solid knowledge and he had the basics down
2nd year- Takese Sunoue, she was a 2star Chunin but decently close to a 3star, she was definitely the best choice.
3rd year- Yuken Matsumomi, was a 3star Chunin but had a diverse set of Jutsu.
4th year- Kiniro Geno, was from the Geno clan, a small clan of weapon makers, he was also a 3star Chunin but actually had some teaching experience in his clan.
The Elite Academy
1st year- Iwagae Kaneko, he was from the Kaneko clan and was quite skilled, he was a 4star Chunin
2nd year- Uranari Namikaze, he was from my clan and I had seen him battle before so I trusted him. He was a 5star Chunin.
3rd year- Degishi Yanori, he was a 1star jounin but he was in his late 40's so he was quite experienced.
4th year- Miyase Namikaze, he was a 3star Jounin, but for some reason applied for this job, so I gave it to him.
Kenjutsu Academy, for this academy he almost chose all members of the Tenshero clan. This was a small clan that focused only on kenjutsu so it was the oblivious choice.
1st year- Mero Tenshero, he was a 4star Chunin who was a very good Swordsman.
2nd year- Garuo Tenshero, he was a 2star Chunin, you may be wondering why somebody of a lower rank would be at a higher class, the reason for this is that Mero is stronger Garuo is better at Kenjutsu.
3rd year- Tenboku Tenshero, he was a 1star Jounin and was very fast with a sword, a great choice.
4th year- Rononoa Zoro, was a master of swordsmanship, even creating his own style with 3 swords. (This will be the only crossover)
5th year(optional)- Kenshu Namikaze, he was a 4star jounin and an elder if the Namikaze clan
Police Acadamy
1st year- Isenobu Akanori, a very chill person and fun to hang out with, he was a 3star Genin
2nd year- Atake Dorio, a very strict person who always follows the rules and would never bend on anything, he was a 1star Chunin
3rd year- Sasaka Nomao, she had tons of teaching experience and loved learning so it was the best choice, she was a 3star Chunin.
After doing all the work Akashi then wanted to relax, he knew the other villages would soon be created. The stone and sand had already been created and he knew that the cloud would be next followed by the mist, he would soon head out to the land of lightning.

Warning- I do not own anything I used some jutsu from websites and others the only thing I did was some plot changes -

"Coach Li, congratulations on being the nominated for the best coach of the season!" Chenggong Sun said with the brightest of smiles. "There are only three people nominated. They must recognize your ability as a coach. Congratulations on becoming the best coach in advance!"
"The best coach of the season award will not go to me this season. I may be able to get it next season if I fight for it. After all, the Rockets and Raptors did really well this season. We didn't even make the playoffs. The NBA officials won't give such an award to me," Dai Li said, smiling.
"Fight for it a little. You're already nominated, so you might actually have a chance!" Chenggong Sun suggested.
Dai Li smiled mysteriously. He lowered his voice and said, "In truth, I've already spent quite a lot in PR just to get nominated, so I think this is as much as I can hope for."
"Oh, spending a lot in PR also works in the U.S.! I thought that it only worked back in China." Chenggong Sun nodded.
Dai Li really did spend a lot of money to get this nomination.
The annual NBA awards ceremony was usually held in the latter part of May every year, where nominees for all sorts of awards were announced. Some awards (such as the scoring leader, the rebound king, and the assist king) were supported by data. Whoever had the best stats would win, so there was no suspense at all.
However, some awards (the MVP, the best sixth man, the best defender, the best growth, and the best coach) were more subjective. The final winners in these categories are decided through the voting procedure.
Previously, the head coaches of each team would have one vote for each award. However, this had changed recently. Now, well-known sports journalists and sports pundits voted. In recent years, the NBA had also tried to involve the fans in the voting process.
People often fell into habits when voting. For example, a player was named the best defender last season would likely win it again if he was still a good player. He would at least be put in the best defensive line up. So, for players, it was hardest to win their first award. As long as a player got his first award, then the next awards became far easier.
Dai Li wanted to be nominated for the best coach award. The best method to get a nomination was to do PR with sports journalists who had votes. These journalists were certain to be backed by well-known media firms. Dai Li sent a message to these media firms by buying multiple advertisements for his training center from these firms. The sports media firms knew that Dai Li purchased those advertisement space with conditions and, when there's money to be earned, who would say no. Naturally, they would let their journalists vote for Dai Li if he was willing to buy advertisements.
In truth, he basically purchased his nomination for the best coach award. Other coaches did not have that enough money to throw away media advertisements.
Dai Li's physical fitness training center budgeted a certain amount for advertisement and public relations annually, so Dai Li had to spend that money sooner or later. Since it was money that needed to be spent, why not benefits it a little extra?
Dai Li also really needed this nomination. His identity as "Outsider" had plagued him for over half a season. Since the day he arrived at the NBA, an endless stream of people had coined him as "Outsider." He needed an award like this to support him. Even if he could not really win the award, being nominated for the best coach award would be sufficient in shutting up the people who had dubbed him "Outsider."
It was similar to the way that acting careers worked. If critics don't like an actor they say he isn't believable or can't capture an audience's attention. Other people are affected by these negative comments and believe that this actor is bad. However, when the actor receives an award, the negative criticism vanishes. If he received several heavyweight awards and became a master actor, then everyone who critiqued him would change their tune. All the negative comments would become excuses for absolution.
The coaching industry was similar. After receiving a few awards, people would naturally start praising someone.
In truth, the voting was also very lopsided.
The annual NBA awards ceremony was an appraisal of the award winner's season. A team had to play 82 games in a season. The players who could win an award would have at least played 70. It was impossible for the journalists to focus on too many players. They could not watch all 82 games of every team in the NBA. When they voted, they could only vote for players from the pool of players that they followed, or perhaps choose a few players with good stats from the statistics table.
Based on that, when the candidates for the annual NBA awards were released, there were always debates and arguments. Some fans always felt that the nominated players did not deserve the awards.
Dai Li and Chenggong Sun chatted casually for a while and began discussing the next stage of the training plan. At that moment, someone's phone rang.
Dai Li picked up his phone and his expression suddenly changed.
"Coach Li, you should go if you're busy. I'll be here to keep an eye on things," Chenggong Sun said kindly.
"Alright, I'll be right back," Dai Li said. As he left, he called for Cassel and walked to the meeting room.
...
"Coach, what happened?" Cassel asked as he walked in behind Dai Li.
"Ronny's contract renewal talks collapsed. He rejected the contract we offered," Dai Li said.
"He rejected a five-year contract worth 90 million dollars?" Cassel was a little surprised.
"Before the season ended, the team wanted to renew Ronny's contract, so they offered him a five-year contract worth 85 million dollars. He did not accept it. Now that the season is over, the team offered him a 90 million dollar five year deal, with the last year being his option. That averages out to 18 million dollars per year, but he still rejected it. He wants more!" Dai Li said.
Cassel nodded and asked, "Then how much does Ronny want? Does he want a super contract of 20 million per year? That's 100 million over five years!"
"His appetite has no limit. He wants a five-year contract worth 150 million dollars!" Dai Li said as a cold light flashed in his eyes.
"What? A five-year contract worth 150 million dollars? That's about as much as we could pay anyone. Has Ronny gone mad!?" Cassel exclaimed.
"It's a good thing he is a restrained free player and we have the right to a contract renewal. We can match the offer of any other teams. According to the rules, the other teams can only offer him a four-year contract, while we can offer him a five-year contract," Dai Li said coldly.
"But if Ronny keeps insisting on the five-year 150 million dollar deal, what do you plan to do? Do you really plan to lose him?" Cassel asked.
"I don't know," Dai Li said, shaking his head. He then said, "But I don't feel that he is worth the highest wage for five years! Worst case: we give him a qualification offer, use him for another year, and ask him to scram!"
...
Back when the Clippers accepted Wood's rubbish contract, Ronny was one of the conditions. Back then, Ronny only had a rookie contract. He was only a bench player and his game time was limited, but he still contributed an average of 12.7 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 2.7 assists per game.
The Clippers fancied Ronny's potential and planned to make him into the core of the team. They gave him a lot of chances. They let him become a starting forward and developed a lot of plays that centered around him. Ronny's stats continually increased. In the most recent season, he reached an average of 19.2 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 3.3 assists per game.
As a forward, 19+5+3 was a decent result. The previous season was the last year of Ronny's rookie contract, so contract renewal became one of the Clippers' main task over the summer.
Before the season ended, the Clippers had already decided to renew Ronny's contract and they offered him a five-year 85 million dollar deal. Although that contract was not the top wage, it was still considered pretty high among for a newbie's contract. After all, Ronny had never been a higher ranking player and wasn't considered an all-star.
Ronny rejected this offer and informed the media that he was fighting for the top wage.
After Dai Li joined the Clippers, they played quite a number of overtimes, which improved the average statistics of several of the Clippers players. They played several more minutes each game, so, naturally, they got higher stats. Ronny's average points per game went above 19.
The Clippers did not want to lose Ronny; they even offered him a five-year contract worth 90 million dollars. This was five million more than the previous offer, and his average annual salary would be over 18 million dollars. However, Ronny was still unsatisfied; he wanted the top wage!
Based on NBA rules, Ronny had already played four full seasons in the NBA, so he fulfilled the requirements of the Larry Bird exception clause. Although he had been traded once, his rookie contract inherited the Larry Bird exception clause. The team that obtained the player after the trade could still execute the Larry Bird exception clause. As such, Ronny could use the clause to obtain a top wage during contract renewal.
The Larry Bird exception clause states that free players could play for a team for over three years. Teams can re-sign their own free agents, at an amount not affected by the salary cap for a maximum of five years. The starting salary for the first year of the contract would be 25% of the current salary under the restriction of the salary cap. Every consecutive year, the salary would rise by 12.5% annually. However, if the player moved to another team by the end of the season, then his salary only rose by 10.5%, and the contract length was limited to four years.
The 12.5% annual salary increase in the Larry Bird exception could only be used on first-round drafted rookies. Ronny was a first-round drafted rookie. His wage in the first year was close to 25 million dollars, and the 12.5% increase in consecutive years would make his five-year salary 150 million dollars.
If he made 90 million dollars over five years, a loss of 60 million, he would lose 12 million dollars per year. Naturally, Ronny did not want to lose that much.
...
In the meeting room, everyone was discussing Ronny's contract renewal.
"150 million over five years is impossible. Ronny isn't worth this much. Although his stats improved to 19+5+3, he is still not an all-star. He's not worth such a high salary."
"Ronny's stats are based on the fact that there's more time to improve. In truth, his shooting rate hasn't improved that much since he was on the Chicago Bulls. If he weren't the tactical core of the team, he would not have the ball so much. He would never have gotten stats like these."
"I believe that Ronny can become an all-star player. However, it's difficult to believe he can become a game-changing leader of a team. A five-year deal worth 150 million dollars is really too much."
Everyone in the meeting room began stating their opinion.
If one were an all-star or had similar stats to an all-star, then a team could offer him a top wage without having to worry about facing a loss. Of course, this did not guarantee teams would earn profits.
A mega superstar, on the other hand, was guaranteed to make a huge profit for a team even if they offered him a the top wage.
Some players had strategic value. They occupied the slot of the top earner but they helped the team make the playoffs. For the team, these sorts of returns were well worth the investment.
Apart from them were mega super rookies. These players were definitely going to become mega superstars in the future. They could very well bring teams the championship or even create a golden era for the team. Teams were naturally going to offer players like these the top earner clause because it was the equivalent of paying for the future in the present,
Ronny wanted to become the top earner with a five-year deal worth 150 million dollars. Clearly, he felt that he was the kind of player who could develop into a mega superstar.
Unfortunately, he was not such a player.
In the meeting room, the management of the Clippers discussed this for at least half a day before finally reaching a consensus. They decided that they would not satisfy Ronny's demands for the 150 million dollar five-year deal.
"At the moment, it looks like we still have the initiative in Ronny's contract renewal. However, I'm worried that the other teams will start causing problems once the playoffs are over. If other teams offer him huge contracts, then it will be up to us to see if we want to match their offers. In that case, we become the passive party. I would prefer to complete contract talks as soon as possible," Xiao Yunan said and looked at Dai Li.
"A man who is not content with what he deserves is like a snake that tries to swallow an elephant!" Dai Li sighed. He then said, "I will think of some way to put pressure on Ronny. In the training camp, I will intentionally pay more attention to players in the forward position. I will also follow some free agents. Hopefully,, Ronny will know that we are already starting to look for his replacement. That way, he may be more anxious to renew his contract with us!"


How could a poor graduate student without any background or connections become successful? With a coaching system? An upgrade? This is not a computer game, but real life we’re talking about!
 
This will be a fantasy based on reality. Dai Li will fight back against all those who would mock and humiliate him with his astonishing and awe-inspiring training skills. From a nobody he’ll try to become the most illustrious coach in the sports world, so join him in proving to everyone who’s the real master here!
