King of Hollywood

The entire "Tonight Show" has almost become Adrian's stage. He described in detail the difficulties encountered in filming "Two Smoking Barrels". When asking questions, he is full of gentlemanly demeanor and is very educated, basically leaving a good impression on most people.

If it wasn't for the fact that Reynolds seized the opportunity to take back the initiative when he was hosting the audience's calls at the end and the audience's questions now, maybe this episode would have become Adrian's personal show. Even so, many people thought it was Adrian's intention. Renault himself admitted afterwards that the opportunity was probably left to him by Adrian on purpose.

"You can catch the rhythm of the conversation very well, Ed." After the show, Renault once said to Adrian.

"I can only say that I am lucky. I met you because of you now, not you in a few years." Adrian said in a modest tone. This is indeed the truth. If he is facing Jay Leno, who has hosted "The Tonight Show" for more than ten years, he will definitely not be able to take the initiative like this from beginning to end.

In any case, this kind of modest attitude has won the favor of the program group. Needless to say, Jay Leno, others also praised him for his good upbringing. However, if they knew that Adrian was thinking about whether it was possible to dig them over in the future, what kind of expression would they have on their faces?

Because this issue of "The Tonight Show" is a live broadcast, the reporters and critics who followed Adrian published their articles the next day, and most people thought that he performed very well.

"Here is an honest young man of good breeding," one wrote. "He did not shy away from the absurdities of the past and was so frank that I sided with him, since the tabloids love to exaggerate. "

"He is very good, his success comes not only from talent, but also from hard work." This is another reporter's article, "I believe that the youngest Oscar nominee for best director will have more brilliant achievements in the future. "

Such praise is of course related to Adrian's excellent performance in the show, but the monologue when answering "why are there non-stop making movies one after another" also plays a considerable role.

"Time is one of the most precious things in this world. I have wasted too much time before, so now I must seize every minute and every second. I must make up for all the wasted time. Those inspirations, those Thoughts keep popping up in my mind, urging me to grab them, I've missed so many things, I must never miss these again!"

When he said these words, his tone was strong and firm, and he looked like a good young man who had lost his way and was ready to change his mind and fight for his dream. Therefore, he won applause and warm applause.

Of course, if there is praise, there will also be ridicule and ridicule. A critic wrote in his column: "It is really unimaginable that Mr. Adrian has the ability to direct and produce movies after being electrocuted. Maybe we can use it in the future. His name is The Flash? DC should invite him to be a spokesperson."

There are many such ridicules, but basically they are all well-intentioned. Those ridicules are much worse. A tabloid reporter even simply declared: "Adrian is an expert in showmanship."

It's just that this kind of ridicule is really powerless. The public's curiosity about Adrian has steadfastly slid to admiration and praise. For example, when "The Tonight Show" was rebroadcast, the ratings were even a little higher than the first broadcast. In addition, as the end of March is approaching, the Oscars are imminent, and the nominees for all important awards have also attracted the attention of the media for the first time. Adrian's appearances in the media far exceed those of the other directors who were nominated at the same time .

Adrian was not overly excited because of this, but he was a little worried that if the reporters made such a move, it might affect the plan instead. Although he told Lavern not to solicit votes for "The Shawshank Redemption", Tim Robbins, who was nominated for Best Actor, and Morgan Freeman, who was nominated for Best Supporting Actor, were out of his control.

Especially Freeman, who has already been nominated for several Oscars, and this time he is nominated for Best Supporting Actor, it is hard to say whether the Oscar judges will award him this statuette. Whenever he thinks of this, Adrian feels a little depressed. If he had known this, he should have declared him the best actor in the same way as the original version.

But this depression was quickly forgotten, the thing had already happened, and there was no regret at all—unless he woke up and went back to the past now. No matter how well-planned and how well-thought-out, there will still be omissions. No one can calculate everything. Movie stories are always movie stories. It is more practical to think about how to remedy things than to regret doing something wrong. Of course, if you can't remedy it at all like now, then don't worry about it anymore, as long as you do your best.

After "The Tonight Show", TV stations such as FOX, ABC and CBS also came to the door and wanted to invite him to the show, but Adrian made Roger decline. Firstly, he still has the post-production of "Pulp Fiction" to be busy with; secondly, the same program loses its sense of mystery if it is played too many times, and he can't guarantee that he will have such good acting skills every time.

That's right, acting, that's what Claude said, that guy has been watching the live broadcast, and Adrian called just after the show: "Hey, man, you performed really well, I was almost moved Have you considered directing and acting yourself?"

"To be honest, I really hope that this big brick can carry a video, so that you can see the movements of my hands." Adrian replied at the time.

The jokes between old friends don't need to be taken seriously, Adrian is actually a little proud of his proper acting skills in private, especially when most of the media are on his side. However, self-directing and self-acting will definitely not be considered. Although he can change his mask anytime and anywhere without hindrance in interpersonal communication, it does not mean that he can play others well in front of the camera—of course, Conversely, a good actor can do it. For them, playing other people is a common thing.

So, now it's good to have half in the foreground and half behind the scenes.

All in all, after The Tonight Show, everything is fine with just a little hangover.

"Do you really think I'm a slightly fat old woman who likes to chatter, Mr. Adrian?" For a long time, Adrian would think of such depressing questions in his ears.

To this he had no choice but to answer, "Of course not, Mrs. Galen, that's just an exaggeration." Who made Mrs. Galen his housekeeper for many years? This is probably called cocooning yourself.

With the passage of time, the end of March finally came, accompanied by the grand event in the North American film circle - the Oscars!
