King of Hollywood

Chapter 104 The Stunning Nomination List

"So, you just want to apologize for getting a role for Jane?" Adrian frowned for a long while before asking, even though his face was still suspicious.

"Of course, I know that whenever you show that look, you will definitely have new ideas or ideas, and most of the time you will invite the person who inspired you to play the role, so I remind Jane again and again. "Dennis laughed twice, seeing Adrian glaring at himself, he quickly raised his hands to the sides of his head and shook: "Anyway, I do owe her something, supervising her fitness and weight loss at the beginning It was just a joke, so..."

Looking at Dennis who was gesturing and explaining, Adrian rolled his eyes and covered his forehead.

According to Dennis, he and Jennifer met by chance. About three months ago, he accidentally rear-ended a car while driving out, and the owner of that car was Jennifer, which naturally caused disputes. Dennis let her go at first, but Jennifer happened to be in a bad mood, so the dispute quickly escalated into a quarrel.

At that time, Jennifer weighed 200 pounds, and she was very powerful when she quarreled. If Dennis was not a head taller than her, she might have suppressed her. Fortunately, the police came soon and recognized Dennis, so it was not too embarrassing-fortunately, there were no reporters nearby at the time, and the situation was intense but did not last long, so they were not crowded out.

Afterwards, Jennifer calmed down after venting a bit, and Dennis also regained her composure, so the two found a cafe to discuss the aftermath. After several confrontations, Dennis and Jennifer became friends, and Dennis himself couldn't explain why. Next, Dennis jokingly said that he knew some very good nutritionists and fitness trainers who could help her lose that stubborn weight. These words touched Jennifer's pain, so she immediately refuted it. After two or three rounds, Dennis declared that as long as he supervised it, it would be difficult for Jennifer to lose weight.

For unknown reasons, Jennifer finally agreed, and after exchanging addresses and phone numbers, Dennis fulfilled the agreement from the next day, and then there was Jennifer Aniston who was relatively slender that day at the party.

Most of these things were told by Dennis, but some places he talked about were vague, such as the aftermath negotiation after a car crash; while some places were very detailed, such as how to supervise Jennifer's exercise. So there is still a small part that Adrian himself speculated, so he still feels a little incomplete.

"Well, you are just friends." Adrian rubbed the sides of his head, "So... where's your Noni?"

"Still... in the process of calming down," Dennis showed a helpless expression, "Sometimes I really want to call it a day. I never thought that it would end up like this. The three parties are repeatedly entangled, and it is difficult to make a decision... I am very sad. Difficulty, Ed."

"What's so embarrassing?" Adrian raised his hands, "If you feel bad, then break up. This kind of thing is very common in Hollywood. If you feel like it, stay together, and if you don't feel like it, break up. "

"But I still have feelings for Nori, Ed, I love her, and I really want to be with her." Dennis said seriously, while Adrian twitched the corners of his mouth, noncommittal to his statement.

"Besides, she officially broke up with Depp a few days ago, but the media didn't know about it, so I can't let her go." Dennis sat up straight and looked very calm.

After staring at him for a few minutes and making sure that what he said was true, Adrian raised his hands: "Okay, let's talk about your filming in the UK next, Neville is very satisfied with you, but I You need to pay attention to these things..."

Let him go, it's his private matter anyway. Adrian finally thought so.

Time has unknowingly collapsed into February 1993, and the world is still slowly moving forward according to the established track. Of course, there are also different places, such as the just-released list of nominations for the 65th Academy Awards.

Although many people have already predicted this list, and many people's predictions are very close to the truth, but after the list was officially released, many people still gasped or were dumbfounded.

"I think there has never been such a nomination list before, and I'm afraid there will be another one in the future. Adrian has created a miracle." A certain radio host was very excited when talking about the nomination list.

Critics are more likely to express their feelings in whining than showrunners: "The film academy judges must be confused, otherwise I can't think of a reason to give that kid so many nominations."

But the movie fans didn't care so much, they expressed their support for their favorite director overwhelmingly.

"Since he can shoot all kinds of subjects, and all of them are so good, he should be nominated for so many Oscars." Facing the reporter's interview, they shouted so wildly, although "Howard End" was released. Fans think that Adrian is deceiving them, but there are still many diehard fans.

The reason for this is that, if counted separately, Adrian alone won 6 nominations and no co-nominations at this year's Oscars. "Pulp Fiction" won him Best Original Screenplay and Best Screenplay. Nominations for editing, while Scent of a Woman and Howards End earned him two nominations for adapted screenplays, four nods here. And more importantly, is also the most surprising and envious envy, "Howard End" and "Pulp Fiction" won him two nominations for best director

That's right, there are two. Among the nominations for the 65th Academy Awards announced by the Academy of Film, the nominees for best director are: "Unforgiven"'s Clint Eastwood, "The Crying Game"'s Neil Jordan, Greg Elwes of "I Don't Know Who He Is" and Adrian Cowell of "Howards End" and "Pulp Fiction"

It is no wonder that some people think this is a miracle. Although there are still three directors in the history of Oscars who have won more than one best director nomination for different films in the same session, but that was a long time ago, and the most recent one is also The 11th session, that was still in 1939. With the gradual maturity of the Oscars, the selection mechanism has gradually become stricter, and such a situation has never happened again, so Adrian will receive such attention after the nomination list is released.

This is just a big aspect, being nominated for both the best original screenplay and the best adapted screenplay at the same time, and the best adapted screenplay is also double nominated, etc., are one of the reasons for eye-catching. In addition, several other important award nominations are also directly related to him. Although Monica was not nominated for Best Supporting Actress, Samuel L Jackson and John Travolta were nominated for Best Supporting Actor and Best Actor respectively

In this way, coupled with the unsuspecting nominations of Pacino and Thompson for best actor and actress, and nominations for best director of "Scent of a Woman" and "Howard's End", Adrian not only won in his personal capacity 6 nominations, and are directly related to 6 other nominations. To be honest, if Oscar hadn't always been relatively impartial - at least on the surface - and had a huge influence, maybe someone would have called it a shady scene.

In fact, some tabloid reporters have pointed this out cryptically, but few people echoed it. Even so, this list has also aroused many people's discussions, with various voices emerging one after another, and the level of enthusiasm is no less than the various quarrels about "Howard's End" at the end of last year.

"If they know that you have also declared "Scent of a Woman" as the best director, I don't know how they will feel." Flipping through these articles in the newspaper, Adrian asked Laverne leisurely.

"It won't be more intense than it is now, unless you get nominated for best director with three films." Laverne shrugged.

"That's impossible." Adrian laughed. There have only been two Oscars for three films nominated for best director. It is already a remarkable achievement to be nominated for two best directors now.

"You've done a great job, Laffer, no one has done better than you." He praised without hesitation.

"That's because the quality of the movie is guaranteed," Laverne shook his head, "Without this as a premise, no matter how good the public relations are, it's useless. You are truly outstanding, Ed, and there has never been a director like you. To be honest, if you didn’t only shoot the scripts you wrote, Warner and the others would have waved the scripts and asked for cooperation.”

"In fact, someone has already approached Roger, but there are not many scripts." Adrian shrugged and said, "Besides, someone has approached Claude to buy Bosworth Films. What are you thinking?"

"Because it's better to try than to do nothing." Lavern said with a smile, he knew part of the ambitions of Adrian and his buddies.

"I don't mind cooperating with big companies and turning the scripts they provide into movies," Adrian said suddenly, "as long as the story can move me."

This is also a way to establish a good relationship with major companies. Besides, they always have outstanding movie scripts that he has not recalled, so it is not a bad thing to cooperate once or twice, and...

"You should say this to Roger, not me." Laverne said half-jokingly, and then asked seriously after a pause: "Ed, maybe you can consider competing for the Oscar for Best Director."

"You really think so?" Adrian raised his eyebrows.

At first, his plan was to make Pacino and Thompson the best actor and actress, and he would be nominated for the best director to increase his qualifications. But Adrian did not expect that Laverne let him get a nomination for best director last year, and it was the youngest nomination for best director in the record, and then let him get two best director nominations for two films this year. Although his qualifications are low, at least he has been nominated for the best director, and the film academy has generously given him two nominations for the best director. It is hard to guarantee that they will not consider awarding him the best director. ()
