King of Hollywood

Chapter 53: Start

The reason why a grand event is a grand event lies in the scale of its holding, the degree of attention and popularity, and the form of holding it. Not as good as Oscar. Many ordinary people in Europe like to watch the Oscars, but relatively few ordinary people in the United States like the three major European film festivals. As for the format of the holding, it is even worse. The Oscar still has various programs and surprises, and the host is also very active, while the award ceremonies of the three major film festivals are much duller. Adrian has participated in them the most qualified to judge.

In the final analysis, Europeans’ pride and inferiority complex are at play, and they can’t compete with Hollywood in business anyway, so they have to erect the signboard of “art” to comfort themselves. After all, compared to the United States, which was founded less than 300 years ago, they have a history of thousands of years, which is enough to support them to look at Americans like "hillies".

In order to distinguish themselves from the rude Americans who only know how to make money, European "artists" naturally have to pretend to be more elegant. This is really a ridiculous idea. It is a normal behavior to avoid one's own shortcomings and use the strengths to compare with the other party, but because of this, you completely ignore your own shortcomings, as if they don't exist, or think that those are just Tao, what I insist on now It's the best, then it's contrived and stupid.

So I still love Oscar more. Standing on the red carpet outside the crowded sacred auditorium, Adrian thought so, the flashing lights around him kept ringing, and people came to greet him from time to time.

He can be said to be proud of his net style now, and he has climbed three steps in three years. This speed is unique in the history of Hollywood. The former youngest Palme d'Or winner, Steven Soderbergh, is still filming cost independent film, and he is already about to win the best director Oscar.

"I don't think anyone will have such a record again in the future." Spielberg said to Adrian. He looked high-spirited, with round glasses on the bridge of the nose and a neatly trimmed beard.

"Thank you." Adrian responded with a smile. He knew that the other party was congratulating himself in advance. Anyone with a discerning eye could see the value and influence of "Forrest Gump", and he also had excellent public relations personnel.

"I should be the one to say thank you. I've already had people look at the location you provided, and it's indeed very similar. Ian and the others think that with the addition of props, the similarity is at least 10%. Your suggestions are also very good. Appropriate, it looks like you have done a lot of work." Spielberg said with a smile.

"I just happened to be making a new movie in the UK, and there happened to be Irish people acting as extras," Adrian shrugged and explained, "Of course, I did collect a lot of relevant information before, the TV series that said it planned to be adapted into about ten episodes .”

The two were talking about the "Saving Private Ryan", the script had been sent to Spielberg two weeks ago by Zener, he liked it very much, and immediately started preparations. As an added gift, Adrian told him that there is a narrow beach in Ireland that is similar to Normandy, and it is possible to set up a set for shooting there.

Omaha Beach, the most intense battle in Normandy, is now a protected historical site. It is impossible for Spielberg to shoot there, so it is very important to find a suitable beach. At this time, Adrian sent this place to his hands in a timely manner. In addition, he also made a lot of suggestions, such as letting actors perform devil training, or using documentary methods to increase the sense of reality during the landing battle, so that The Big Three of DreamWorks have a lot of goodwill.

This is exactly one of Adrian's plans. The media and DreamWorks are now on the same front, and the media still owns part of the shares of DreamWorks. It is just right to add more attention to their exhibition. Besides, they were going to do this in the first place, so why not do it by telling them that they can gain a lot of goodwill?

After talking with Spielberg for a while, Adrian left immediately and walked along the red carpet to the auditorium. Although there were endless calls from reporters outside the guardrail, he just smiled and nodded but never answered. question.

"Should I congratulate you in advance, Ed?" A familiar voice came from the side, wearing a light-colored low ng1ù back evening dress. The ditch seems to be close to other people, the breasts hang down on the shoulders softly, the iconic mouth is slightly raised, and the half-smile is very charming.

"You have congratulated me before, Julie, it is very meaningful and memorable." Adrian looked at her with raised eyebrows.

How could Julia not know what he was talking about? If she had put it at another time, she would definitely have provoked her back with "Should I try again?", but at this moment surrounded by so many reporters, she could only take a deep breath secretly Don't burn your face.

"It seems that I'm one step behind?" Another familiar voice came to his ears, and Adrian sighed in his heart, while the surrounding reporters all showed excited expressions, and pressed the cameras in their hands faster.

Monica, who was wearing a deep purple deep v-neck evening dress, immediately appeared in front of the two of them, her jet-black hair cascading down like a waterfall, which was different from Julia's **o1ang. The sexy mouth is slightly open, the neckline is so deep that it almost reaches the navel, most of the two hemispheres are on the outside, and there are jī protruding in the key places, it seems that there is no breast stickers, it is extremely ugly.

If Julia's sexuality is charming and friendly, making people want to strike up a conversation, then Monica's sexuality is red, making people want to hug her immediately Playing wantonly in her arms.

Unfortunately, they are all mine now. Noticing the envious looks from the group of reporters taking pictures, Adrian said softly in his heart, and then responded with a smile: "It's not too late, Monica."

"Well, then congratulations, Ed, may your dreams come true tonight." Monica said.

"Thank you, with your blessings, my dream will definitely come true." Adrian said meaningfully.

But Monica is more used to his style than Julia. Even though there are all reporters around, she still smiled at him charmingly, but immediately turned to look at Julia: "Hi, Julie, long time no see gone."

"Yes, it's been a long time. How are you doing?"

"Not bad, a role in a low-budget independent film, how about you?"

"A new 1ang romantic movie is under preparation, and I have already agreed to play the leading role."

The two women talked as if no one else was there, and Adrian around him seemed to become transparent, and the reporters suddenly became more excited. The cameras in their hands kept pressing, and they probably had already thought about how to write reports after returning home, no " Monica and Julia talked affectionately, "the director of the miracle was left alone" means "the object of the past has become a stranger".

Adrian shrugged needlessly, only he knew that the two of them were fighting again.

"Then, I'll leave first." He seized the opportunity of the two women's brief pause to say so.

"See you later." Monica and Julia said in unison, and then went to the other side to continue talking.

Laughing inwardly, Adrian walked straight into the sacred auditorium. There were no reporters inside, which made him relax a bit. After tidying up his clothes, he glanced at the people talking here who were about to look inside. Walking down the hall, another familiar voice came to my ears: "Oh, I've been waiting for you for a long time, Ed."

"Hey, Kiki, so you're here." Adrian's eyes lit up as he looked at the girl standing by the front hall door.

Kirsten is dressed up beautifully today, a pure white dress complements the dark low-heeled leather shoes, the white fleece socks are very short and come down to the ankle, and the white beret hat , looks very pure and lovely. Only Adrian knows what a mature and ambitious soul is hidden under this pure and lovely appearance.

"Do I look good today?" Kirsten picked up the corner of her skirt and turned around with a smile.

"Very beautiful," Adrian said in admiration, "There is no one more beautiful than you now among your peers."

"Really?" Kirsten put his hands behind his back, and his tǐng chest looked even more cute, but he looked at Adrian's gray-green eyes with deep meaning, "Thank you, Ed."

As she spoke, she sighed again, and there was a bit of resentment between her brows: "I really didn't expect you to go to London to shoot a new movie. I had a lot of things I wanted to ask you in person, but unfortunately I can only talk to you over the phone now." did so.”

Although her naked face is still a little immature, this resentful expression does not feel any disobedience, on the contrary, it makes her look more like a Lolita. Although there were not many people in the front hall, there were always some, so blatantly—though only a little—Adrien took a deep breath, especially since she also mentioned the "telephone call."

After the trial screening of "Interview with the Vampire", Adrian added another item to her guidance. Although it was just a finger, it was still enough to give Kirsten the incomparable pleasure of falling in love for the first time. But she is still a girl after all, and she can't run around without her parents' permission, so she has only been to Adrian's office twice since last year, and she can't continue after he went to London. It is conceivable that Kerr How lost Sten would be.

Although she is more mature than her peers, it doesn't mean her self-control is as strong. However, Kirsten still learned something under the guidance of Adrian, and he could barely solve it.

After the Oscar nomination list came out, although she knew that the possibility of losing the Oscar was greater than that of the Golden Globe when she made the selection, and although she also expressed to Adrian that it would not matter even if she lost, but since she chose the Oscar at the beginning How could Kirsten, who fought hard at the Oscars, not desire to win this honor that seems to be within easy reach?

So the goblin worked harder to get up to Adrian, for example, while talking to him... Just think about it, while panting and groaning sounds came from the phone, he outlined the appearance of the girl in his mind, and at the same time told her It should be like this and that, how exciting this kind of half-brained stuff is.

A goblin is a goblin, and can always do something that surprises and thrills you.

"Don't worry, "James of the Brave" is about to start filming, and I will guide you in time." Adrian said with a smile, since there are such smart and studious students, why wouldn't he try to teach them as much as possible? In fact, the current Kirsten has achieved initial success, if not for some reason, he would have eaten her up long ago.

"Okay, let's go in, it's going to start in a few minutes." Adrian said and made a gesture of invitation.

Fortunately, Kate is pregnant and did not come, and Blanchett, Gwyneth, and Liv are not suitable to attend the Oscars yet-although there are plenty of tickets, it will only be a disadvantage to face them at the awards ceremony too early More than Li——Although Sarah can, she doesn't want to participate. Needless to say, even if she has accepted certain facts, it doesn't mean that she can face them calmly. In short, if they are all here, I'm afraid Adrian will have a headache for a while.

Even so, you will still meet some acquaintances who must stop and chat, such as Mrs. Hanks who arrived later than him but entered the front hall of the auditorium first, or Winona and Dennis who came together and appeared together, as well as those who are inside. Near the entrance of the hall, I had a chat with Brian de Palma, the director of "Mission: Impossible", about Cruzoff.

"Hi, Tommy, Nicole, Bligh, I'm so glad to meet you." Adrian greeted them happily.

"Hi, hello." Kirsten, who was always behind him, also smiled and waved.

"Look who is here, the best director tonight." Cruise laughed and patted his arm.

"Thank you." Adrian patted him in response with a smile on his face, but shook his head in his heart. Tom Cruise's social skills really need to be improved. Even if everyone knows that it is basically certain that Adrian will win the best director tonight, but in public, the "most possible" must be added. Otherwise, neither Adrian nor the other nominees are respected. And if at the beginning of the voting, everyone said in such an affirmative tone that Adrian had won the best director, maybe those judges would vote for others instead.

Therefore, Nicole next to Cruise turned her head away immediately. Although Palma had a good relationship with Cruise, she still shook her head imperceptibly. Even Kirsten next to Adrian lowered her eyelids and pretended Zuo didn't hear anything.

"It's a pity, those judges at the Film Academy are too conservative. They should at least give you a nomination. Ms. Rice has personally admitted that you are the best." Adrian said immediately.

"It's okay, they're always like this." Cruise waved his hand, as if he didn't care, but the four people standing next to him could see the dissatisfaction in his eyes.

"Is there a release date for "Mission: Impossible"? I've already missed the trial screening, but I don't want to miss it again," Seeing this, Adrian changed the subject, "I can't wait to see you and your wife. Both did a great job in the movie."

After finishing the last sentence, he looked at Nicole, who immediately turned away after meeting his gaze, as if unwilling to meet his gaze. Adrian smiled inwardly, it seemed that everything from that night at the Paramount reception was still in her heart.

"If nothing else, it should be June." Cruise answered his question, and then glanced at his wife.

"So you plan to lead the trend of the summer vacation?" Adrian was a little surprised, because the eyes of Cruise looking at Nicole were obviously not right, and there seemed to be a little bit of suspicion in it, what he didn't know Did something happen?

"Not really, after all we only have this one movie." Palma next to him said.

"That's right, so you may be able to come up with a few more blockbuster movies like last year." Cruise immediately came back to his senses, showing his iconic smile again.

Obviously, even if something happened, it had nothing to do with Adrian, otherwise, with Cruise's anger, he wouldn't be standing here talking and laughing with him-even though Cruise's attitude still seemed a little careless.

"It's not easy. You have to know that some things depend on luck." Adrian shrugged, and suddenly thought of something, he folded his arms and pinched his chin to watch Cruise.

Cruise was slightly taken aback, and then stopped talking. Nicole, who had been silent by her side, showed a complicated look. It was self-evident what Adrian's action meant.

"Maybe..." Adrian slowly opened his mouth after thinking for a long time.

"No problem." Cruise gave the answer without waiting for him to finish.

"Oh?" Adrian raised his eyebrows in surprise. Although this guy is a little thoughtful, has a strong desire to control, and his skills are not very good, he is not an idiot.

"You can...completely...do what you want." Cruise said with some pain. In terms of his desire to control, this is already a big concession. He had to play "Mission: Impossible" before The matter of production rights is still vivid.

"Don't worry, Tommy, I still have a lot of things to do recently, wait for me to think about it, and then I will talk to you in detail in u time, be patient." Adrian laughed and patted him Then he took a deep look at Nicole again, this time his blue eyes did not escape, he bit his mouth lightly, not knowing what he was thinking.

He didn't say any more, and after taking his leave, he took Kirsten into the inner hall, which was already filled with nearly two-thirds of the people. Adrian quickly found his own seat. As before, the crew of the film produced by the same company sat together, but Adrian was the director of "Forrest Gump" and Kirsten was the director of "Night Interview". She is the supporting actress in Vampire, so the seats are several seats apart.

"Don't worry, it's going to be yours," Adrian said, rubbing her head as they parted.

Kirsten didn't want to say anything, but seeing her mother sitting not far away, she finally just nodded obediently like an ordinary girl, but the look in her eyes carried a hint of meaning.

Already know jealousy? Adrian chuckled in his heart, reminiscing about the figure in the fiery red evening dress standing with Cruise just now, and then sat in his seat. \u003c/p\u003e
