King of Hollywood

Chapter 213 Lost and Found

When Celine Dion's heavenly song "My Heart Will Go On" came to an end, the hall was silent for at least ten seconds, and then the hall was filled with warm applause that seemed to be able to lift the roof. Cheers to this wonderful song.

Adrian was also applauding. I have to admit that Dion did a very good interpretation of this song, and her voice was also very moving, but it was not irreplaceable. It is a pity that I currently have no one who can control this song. Dion, who was wearing a black long-sleeved evening dress on the stage, was bowing and exiting the stage at the moment. She was very elegant, especially the heart of the ocean, which was specially worn on her chest, was shining brightly, giving her a bit of noble temperament.

The necklace Dion is wearing now is different from the one he wore in his previous life. When Cameron was filming, he originally planned to make a random prop. Although there are indeed several famous sapphire ornaments on the Titanic in history, the Titanic filmed in the 1940s has also been mentioned, and served as props several times in the story, and Cameron designed He also referred to the Hope Blue Diamond when he was filming, but after all, he couldn't really borrow a sapphire necklace for shooting.

He had planned to make it out of blue zirconia glass with a platinum necklace, enough to be authentic, and the cost would not exceed $10,000. But after Adrian found out, he waved his hand and found a well-known jeweler in London with private funds. He selected a 170-carat Ceylon sapphire and made a real necklace worth 3.5 million U.S. dollars to the crew. .

Cameron has often complained about Adrian. After the necklace was sent to the crew, every time he took it out for shooting, he was very cautious. He was afraid that someone would accidentally get flowers or even lose it. After the shooting, he sent it to the safe for storage. , will not stay outside for a second. Even so, what old Ruth threw into the sea was also a remade substitute. Although Cameron always likes to keep improving, he still criticizes his actions in this situation. The only benefit is that everyone The attention is particularly concentrated, which greatly speeds up the shooting progress of the shot with the necklace appearing.

Celine Dion was supposed to wear the necklace when she sang at the Oscars. A certain jeweler saw the business opportunity of the big boat, and after getting authorization, he specially made a sapphire necklace and entrusted her to wear it. The name "Heart of the Ocean" has been hyped to myself. But there is no such opportunity now. Adrian had already signed a sufficiently detailed contract with the jeweler in London when he commissioned the production, and registered the trademark "Heart of the Ocean" early, and when promoting the big ship, He also took "used a precious gemstone necklace to participate in the shooting" as a gimmick. Everyone knows that the necklace in the movie is a real one, so the heart of the ocean will only be the one in his hand.

Let's get back to the topic, let's put the female singer and the heart of the ocean behind for the time being, and breaking the award-winning record is the most important thing to pay attention to at present.

""Titanic", "My Heart Will Go On"" After the nominated songs were sung by the singers one by one, the award presenters announced the winner aloud. In the background music of the big ship, there was another round of warm applause.

Although it was the ninth time that "Titanic" was applauded eight times, the applause this time was more enthusiastic than the previous ones. Celine? Dion's live performance is of course indispensable, but it also shows from the side that "My Heart Will Go On" won the best song is expected.

Next up was Best Adapted Screenplay, which, without a doubt, went to L.A. Confidential. As a movie showing the retro style of Hollywood's golden age, it is undoubtedly very appetizing to the old men in the film academy. In addition, this is Oscar's 70th birthday. If "Titanic" was not too shocking, the response would be too much Enthusiastic, with an almost perfect combination of theme and special effects, "LA Confidential" will definitely be the biggest winner this year.

Adrian even thought maliciously that in another ten years, when Oscar was 80 years old, he would make a black and white silent film, describing the life of Hollywood film actors in the 1950s and 1960s. The leading actor should be like Clark Gable or Pat Rick Goley, if the heroine is like Vivien Leigh or Grace Kelly, he will definitely win the awards of Best Film, Best Director and Best Actor and Actress.

According to the usual practice, after the best adapted screenplay is the best original screenplay, Adrian immediately cheered up and began to concentrate all his attention. This is the most critical step. So far, nine statuettes have been won. As long as the best original screenplay is won, the award record will basically be broken. Best Actress for Winnes - frankly, it's pretty tough.

It's okay, I'll definitely get it. Adrian said secretly in his heart. You know, in order to win the award for original screenplay, he even prepared several years in advance.

However, there will always be accidents in this world. When everyone thought that "Titanic" was likely to win this important award, the names spit out from the award presenters were: "Mark? Andrews, James? L. Brooks, "As Good as It Gets""

Adrian's face darkened immediately, and then he cursed "Damn" in his heart. Originally the winner of this award should be "Good Will Hunting" by a certain pair of good friends. Unfortunately, the filming of this film only started at the beginning of this year. Not only did the screenwriter change, but two professors Robin Williams and Strand ? In addition to Skarsgard, the other three important roles have also changed.

The leading actor is Rui Fan's younger brother Jacques Phoenix. The three brothers are all excellent actors. Since they have taken care of Rui Fan for so long, they should support Jacques. The actor's friend is played by Tory Maguire, the future Spider-Man, who has already signed a "Spider-Man" film contract with him, and will start filming soon, and give him such a role before that. The next is also good. As for the supporting actress, it's the lovely little Nada. Although she is relatively petite, she is very suitable for the role of such a high-intelligence woman. Of course, some scenes were deleted after discussing with her parents.

As for the three actors in the original version, it doesn't matter about Adrian. As early as when he recommended Rui Fan to star in "Saving Private Ryan", he considered a problem. He discovered Dennis, rescued Rui Fan, and let them get the opportunity that should belong to others. Squeezing that person's living space is like Adrian plagiarizing countless scripts and causing the fate of the original author to change.

In other words, the cake in his hand (Adrian knows, a movie that can sell well) is only this big, if there is one more person to share the cake, someone will inevitably share a smaller one, so that everyone may not be able to eat enough . But for the time being, he couldn't make the cake bigger enough to fill everyone up, so what should he do? Kick out those who could have been given the cake, but have not yet been given one, and those who are not familiar with him, and leave the cake to those who have been cultivated by themselves, and those who are willing to stand firmly with themselves

This kind of thing has been seen too much in the previous life, coupled with what I have seen in this life, and the goal set from the beginning, it is quite easy to do, without any sense of guilt. Although he occasionally discovers his conscience, such as finding the original director to direct, or providing opportunities for JK Rowling, and setting up many charitable foundations, they are all based on the establishment of huge interests.

So, since Rui Fan replaced Matt Damon in "Saving Private Ryan", then take the rest as well, since he has never had any intersection with Damon and Affleck anyway. As for what will happen to them in the future, oh, don't worry about it, since Kim Basinger can win Best Supporting Actress for Adrian's "Back then", who knows they won't be able to make their debut with other movies ? Remember, this is Hollywood.

Therefore, the script of "Good Will Hunting" was written by the screenwriter Adrian early on, and then, as before, the influence was expanded through various channels. Old school way, but it works. Originally Adrian planned to produce and release it in 1997 as he remembered, but he was keenly aware of something when planning for the big ship.

In other respects, his reaction is similar to that of normal people, at best it is a little higher, but in film and television production and women, no one can match. Although he didn't know that Taifu was likely to win a record 15 nominations, he delayed the production of the film until next year to make way for Taifu.

However, even so, the best original screenplay still did not fall to the hands of "Titanic" and was taken away by "As Good as It Gets".

Adrian is also aware of the movie "As Good as It Gets". Basically, he has seen and analyzed the best film nominations in the same Oscar as Dachuan. Not surprisingly, Jack Nicholson will get his acting career The second best actor statuette. Adrian had thought about it before, even though none of the actors he was familiar with was suitable to play the leading role, but the movie's box office revenue was also good.

But this plan was finally given up. There are already too many hard-working works related to him, and they still have to be distributed, right? I always have to tell other film companies that Hollywood is not impossible without him, and these guys who share the cake are not comparable to Damon and others. So Adrian didn't even have the idea of ​​coming up with the script in advance, and he completely let go of this work, but he didn't expect to get such a result in the end.

"Don't worry, there are at least four more nominations." Cameron said comfortingly at the side at this time, although Adrian's face changed for a short time, he still noticed this, "Maybe the next four awards It's all ours."

"I know." Adrian replied briefly with a smile.

There are four more? Oh yes, there's Best Makeup in addition to Best Film, Best Director and Best Actress. He shook his head slightly in his heart, remembering that "Titanic" did not win this award.

However, things are so interesting and unpredictable. At this moment, the voice of the award presenter came from the stage: "Tina Enshor, Simon Thompson, "Titanic""

Amidst the astonishment and admiration at the scene, Adrian raised his head abruptly, and looked towards the stage in disbelief. The excited faces of Tina Enshaw and Simon Thompson had already occupied the entire screen, and the soundtrack of the big boat It also sounded again, this is already the tenth statuette won by "Titanic"

This... what's going on here? Adrian was still in a daze, and didn't realize it until a hand patted his shoulder heavily. While he was in a daze, Cameron had already led the people to stand up and applaud warmly and congratulate the two winners. The slap was made by him.

"Thank you, buddy, I suddenly feel a little dizzy." Adrian thanked him in a low voice.

"It's normal, and I can't believe it. This is already the tenth seat." Cameron laughed.

Adrian was stunned for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter, put his arms around Cameron's shoulders, and hammered him several times before stopping.

"Did you find the wrong person, buddy, you should hug the one on your left." Cameron grinned and said, although those punches were not heavy, they were definitely not light.

"No, no, dear James, I'm hugging you, that's right." Adrian turned his head and glanced at Gwyneth. The temperamental girl who was about to sit down in her long skirt blushed slightly. She gave him a reproachful look.

"You are really outstanding, James, otherwise this is not enough to express my feelings Begging the devil, proud of the world, the strongest abandoned young master, the royal family of the Zhou Dynasty, the martial arts, the heavenly general, killing the gods and the seal of the gods at night, seeking the magic, proud of the world, the ninth heaven, the strongest abandoned young man, the royal family of Zhou, the god-making general, killing the gods and the seal of the gods, asking the demons, the world's most powerful Abandon the royal family of the Great Zhou." He smiled and thumped Cameron twice before sitting back, and Cameron rolled his eyes and sat down helplessly.

The reason why Adrian lost his composure was certainly not because Cameron was outstanding—it was impossible for him not to know how outstanding this guy was—nor was it because the big ship was in sight of breaking the record, but because fate was really wonderful.

Because in my memory, the movie that beat "Titanic" to win the best make-up is-"Men in Black" is right, the one starring Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones, the movie is better than the novel sci-fi movie. Just relying on those various and weird aliens, it is also worthy of defeating the big ship to win this award.

But after Adrian intervened, not only did Monica play the role of the female coroner in the first film, but also made the film appear a year earlier, so this year's Oscar ship has no rivals. Rhea Stewart's centenarian appearance is enough to make people admire, not to mention so many other outstanding actors, so...

Adrian postponed "Good Will Hunting" to pave the way for "Titanic". Unexpectedly, "As Good as It Gets" took away the best original screenplay, but an unintentional action before made the ship regain the tenth place trophy. Life is indeed like chocolate, although Adrian knows most of the flavors, there are always times when he doesn't, and that's the beauty of life, isn't it?

By this time, most of the awards had been given out, leaving only the four most important ones, leading actors and actresses, directors, and movies.

"I'm always very sad at this time. They always refuse to give me one, even if it's just a miniature one, or they can set up an award for the best Oscar host." Crystal began to cry on the stage Sighing, he played up that resentful woman's appearance so that everyone couldn't help laughing.

"But even if I don't want to, I have to go on, and think about it from another angle, no one has seen so many statuettes as I have-yes, go to the back of the stage and have a look, there are a lot of statues in front of you, Oh, that's really satisfying." Krystal's words made everyone laugh again.

"Okay, let's invite the award presenters first, the next award is beckoning." He said and made a gesture of invitation, and Geoffrey Rush, the winner of the Oscar for Best Actor last year, walked up to the applause. up the stage.

"It's a great honor to be able to present this award. Please rest assured that I'm not Kouba, and I don't have to worry about offending anyone. Of course, ladies, please remember that it was not my intention not to say your name." Rush said solemnly , immediately aroused laughter, and the photographer even specially gave little Cuba Gooding a shot. He also laughed happily, especially after seeing himself appearing on the big screen.

Gwyneth sat up straight at this time, and the hand holding Adrian became tighter, and her breathing became heavier, a little excited, a little excited and a little nervous. Adrian patted the back of her hand comfortingly, gave her another encouraging smile, and then continued to look at the stage.

The movie clips of several nominees are being played one by one on the big screen, Gwyneth's "Titanic", Helen Hunt's "As Good as It Gets", Julie Christie's "Sex Game", Judy Dan "Mrs. Brown" by Strange and "Wings of the Dove" by Helena Bonham Carter. Afterwards, the heads of the five people appeared on the big screen, with Gwyneth in the upper left corner, Julie Christie in the upper right corner, Helena Bonham Carter in the lower left corner, Judi Dench in the lower right corner, and Helen Hunt is in the middle.

This is also a very interesting place. Judi Dench only collaborated with Gwyneth in "Shakespeare in Love" last year, but now she has to compete with her for best actress, while Helena Bonham Carter and Helen ? Hunter lost his original role because of Adrian, and was taken by the same person, but Helena Bonham Carter just got one more, the only one in "Fight Club" that is being filmed Female characters were supposed to be hers.

Even so, they still appeared on this year's Oscars and were also nominated. The inertia and changes in this world are really elusive. Therefore, there is no need to care about certain things, just wondering if Helena Bonham Carter will still be dating and engaged to Tim Burton.

"It's really a difficult multiple-choice question. It's a pity that we have to do it after all. Let's see who will be the final winner." Rush said as he opened the envelope in his hand.

The scene suddenly fell silent, and the expressions of the five women on the screen changed slightly. Gwyneth pursed her lips even more, and the frequency of her chest rising and falling became much faster.

"The winner of Best Actress is...". ..
