King of Hollywood

Chapter 281 Start Again

"Good afternoon, viewers, and welcome to the Oscars special, I'm Jerry Madsen, and I'm reporting from the Kodak Theater. It was erected outside the theater, and although there were not many guests on the red carpet, the warm atmosphere of the party has begun to appear."

"Huh, look who I see, our old cowboy Clint. Eastwood, he doesn't usually come this early - hey, Clint, how are you?"

"Good afternoon, Jerry, is it nice to see you?"

"Unhappy? Why? Just because I want to get news from you?"

"Isn't that why you greeted me?"

"Ha, our old cowboy series as always, then I'll ask directly, this is the second year in a row that you have been nominated for best director, and it has been ten years since you last won this statuette, do you think you are fighting against Environment, especially with two very strong opponents in front of you, can you win again?"

"There is no doubt that I am not only aiming for the best director, but I am also aiming for the best movie. I have no fear!"

"See, folks, this is our Clint. Eastwood, brave and tenacious as always, although I support my boss, I also support him-well, let's see who comes next It's..."

"Guys, here are the Phoenix brothers, the famous Rui Fan. Phoenix and Jacques. Phoenix, the most powerful competition for the best actor in Tainan tonight. Hey, Rui Fan, Jacques, look here, okay?" I'm Jerry, Jerry. Madsen, I hope you remember me?"

"Jerry. Madsen? Chef at that Italian-themed restaurant on Cedry Avenue? When did you switch to journalism? Well, I was kidding. Hi Jerry, nice to meet you."

"Thank you, Jacques, me too, especially seeing your brothers appearing together. Oh, yes, why didn't the elf prince appear with you? If he was there, I believe there must be more than that screaming around."

"He was worried that we would steal the limelight, so he stayed until the end—the truth is, he said that Jacques and I were the most dazzling people today, and he wanted to leave time for us."

"It's ridiculous, I still think he's better with you guys. So to change the question, who do you think will win the same Oscar as rivals?"

This is not certain, I believe that I can win, but Rui Fan also believes that he can win, so the result still has to wait until the moment of announcement. "

"It's very strange, why do I find this sentence very familiar?"

"Oh, of course, love says that to you all the time."

"Well, everyone, you have also seen that this is the most dazzling brother combination at this year's awards ceremony, and this is probably one of the most headaches for the academy in this year's Oscars. They are all so outstanding, no matter who wins the best A good actor, it's a pity for the other one."

"Okay, it's getting late, and there are more and more guests on the red carpet. After Martin Scorsese, Jamie Foxx, Leonardo DiCaprio, let's see Let's see who else is worth going up. Ha, I found one, not the one I miss the most, but it's not bad—hey, Natalie, look here, it's me, Jerry Madsen."

"Hey Jerry, are you reporting again this year?"

"Yeah, I love live coverage, especially the Oscars red carpet, I can ask you a lot of questions and you have to answer, even if it's perfunctory - so, are you ready?"

"Even if I'm not ready, you'd still ask, wouldn't you?"

You really deserve to be a top student at Harvard, so let me ask directly, from the 71st Oscar in 1999 to now, you have been nominated for acting awards, and this is the second time you have been nominated for Best Actress , can tell me how you feel. "

"There's no doubt about the thrill and the excitement, no matter how many times you've been nominated, whether you've won an award or not, that's what it's like to walk down a red carpet without exception."

"Many people thought that you were fully qualified to win the award for "Winter's Bone". Now that you have been nominated again, what do you think is the record of making up for regrets this time."

"kindness……"

"It's great. Everyone has seen Natalie's strength. I personally think she should win a statuette for Best Actress."

"Did you see, everyone, the great director of Marvel suddenly appeared beside Natalie and said good things for her, do you know what it means? Hey, Ed, I didn't expect you to show up at this time, see You are so energetic and have a confident look, I'm afraid you already have the chance to win, right?"

"Not necessarily, Jerry, I always say..."

"Until the last moment, you never know the final result-you always say that, Ed, can't you change the line? How about saying something that excites the audience? For example, predicting the next Oscar in this section."

"Sorry, Jerry, I don't have a crystal ball, so you'd better find someone else."

"Hey, wait, Ed... well, he's always like this, he doesn't say anything in this kind of situation, but he talks non-stop in private. Don't try to ask me, what did he say in private, isn't that What we want to pay attention to today is to see who the next guest who is willing to accept my question will be."

"I think someone should be responsible for the live report. Madsen only asks a few questions from the beginning to the end. It's not about whether you think you can win the award, or how you feel now. They are all questions that have been asked countless times, a little new. None." After entering the theater, Adrian, who was relieved, shook his head and said to Natalie who came in with him.

"All reporters are like this at this time." Natalie replied blankly.

Adrian raised his eyebrows, and suddenly smiled when he saw her: "You are so serious, Nada, you were more or less smiling just now, but now you don't look like someone nominated for Best Actress at all."

"You seem really sure." Natalie bypassed the sentence as if she looked up at him.

"Of course, I've been paying attention. Maybe I can't say 100%, but the chances are still very high - well, it seems that you probably don't want to talk to me too much now, so I'll leave." Adrian lightly Laughing, random quickened her pace and walked to the other side. Looking at his back, Natalie, who was still expressionless, subconsciously bit her lip.

There are many people in the front hall, and there is still some time before the official opening, so many people stop here for a while, chatting with familiar or unfamiliar people.

"Frankly speaking, I didn't expect to be nominated at first. This role is really good, and Professor Kinsey's books are also very in-depth, especially in that conservative era." Nicole said with a smile The people around said, and at the same time secretly gave Adrian a wink.

Even though he had been eaten up by him long ago, Adrian still had the feeling of "swaying". In contrast, Blanchett is another kind of charm. Her facial features are slightly hard and not very beautiful, but she has a temperament that makes people unable to let go of her eyes.

"So I picked Kate at a glance. Her tough style is very similar to that of Katharine Hepburn, and it's perfect for her to play the role." Scorsese said approvingly, and then glanced at Adrian who had just come over , even though it was just a glance, he could still see the discontent in his eyes.

After all, if Adrian hadn't intervened, he would have been on the throne of the best director a year ago, and he has worked hard for more than ten years for this. Although luck still plays a part in this, there are reliable sources that he and Sophia are very close in the number of votes, but without the troubles of this family, he can definitely get the statuette.

This is really too much. You must know that Monica's ability to win the best actress back then had something to do with them Italians. Even if it was an exchange of benefits at the time, there was still a favor to some extent, right?

But then again, so what? Today, Adrian is considered one of the people standing at the pinnacle of Hollywood power, not to mention the current Scorsese, even if he adds another Scorsese, he may not necessarily be his opponent, so he can only choose to ignore—— —He may not be able to vent his dissatisfaction with him, but it's still okay to ignore him, it's just...

"There is no doubt that "The Aviator" is not a good movie. It doesn't have to be as bad as any of the nominations today, Howard. Hughes is also a great talent. If possible, I really want to communicate with him across time and space." Adrian seized the opportunity to interject into their conversation.

Immediately, several low-pitched laughter rang out, with a hint of indescribable ambiguity, and some bold eyes were still sweeping back and forth between him and Blanchett. After all, Adrian and Howard, say the word. Hughes is indeed somewhat similar, especially in terms of female sex. It is said that the only first-line actress in that era was Joan. Fontaine and Elizabeth. Tyler hadn't been hooked by him, how similar it was.

"Thank you, I hope I can get what I want today." Scorsese said calmly.

"Perhaps we will have the opportunity to cooperate in the future, Martin," Adrian seemed not to notice his attitude, "I bought the right to adapt a film from Hong Kong, and I originally wanted to try a new film about gangsters. Movie genre, but it still lacks feeling in many places, so I think, maybe you are the most suitable. After all, in gangster movies, you are more romantic than the old Coppola in "The Godfather" Pay attention to digging out those deep things and showing the real side, so you are the master in this regard."

Everyone loves to hear flattery, especially the skillful flattery, and it comes from a person with a higher status and status. Even an old man like Scorsese who has been through many storms still feels comfortable.

"Thank you," he nodded politely, "There will be opportunities in the future, after all, you are also a genius director."

It could be heard that Scorsese was perfunctory, but Adrian didn't say any more. He smiled and then left and walked inside. Blanchett quickly chased after him: "Hey, Ed, let's go." So what are you going to do?"

"In order for you to catch up, Catherine." Adrian replied with a smile, and then said after a pause: "Perhaps it is better to use Hepburn. Although the spelling of Catherine is different, the pronunciation is almost the same."

"I really hope to have an Eva. Gardner can kill two of you when he comes out." Blanchett, who was walking side by side with him, hummed, looking at the aisle in the distance: "You But it was a good candidate, but unfortunately you turned into Betty Davis."

As far as she could see, Nicole was talking to Naomi on the side of the aisle. At this year's Oscars, except for the nominees Natalie, Kirsten, Blanchett, Nicole Apart from Rachel, Kate, Sarah, Naomi, Gwyneth=Liv, Jessica, Annie, Amanda, Scarlett... Almost all of them came, even Charlize also came with high-level It was the first time for her identity to walk on the red carpet—she appeared on the covers of several business-related magazines last year, and even the famous "Fortune" also conducted an exclusive interview with her.

It is conceivable that in a few years, what will happen on the red carpet of Oluska.

"It can be seen from here that Hughes and I are still different, right?" Adrian smiled, glanced around and suddenly lowered his voice: "Do you know what I want to do now, I I want to push you to the ground..."

Blanchett walked forward with a smile on his face all the time, until he and Adrian separated to go to the crew of "The Aviator", as if his obscene words did not exist at all. Of course, those red ears couldn't escape Adrian's eyes. If it wasn't for the Kodak Theater and the scene of the awards ceremony in Ozka, there would be no need to say anything about what would happen next.

Nicole was trained very well by him, and Blanchett was not bad, and the relationship between the two of them was rare. Police officer Blanchett was in a group with Gwyneth and Liv, and Nicole and Nao A group of rice, but who made them all Australians? Even Nicole was born in Honolulu.

Not to mention Nicole, all kinds of pretended clients and prostitutes, and both of them had a great time. As for Blanchett, Adrian's favorite thing to do is to throw down her queen-like appearance on the ground, but she is also the most excited when she is treated like this, and she handed over more readily after going to bed. After entering the court, he refused to use his mouth for a long time, so it is not difficult to imagine being trained like this.

Well, let’s not talk about this, after separating from Blanchett, Adrian quickly came to his seat, as always, the crew of "Indomitable" and "Brokeback Mountain" were next to each other, Natalie, Jacques, Rui Fan, Pete, Anne, and Amanda are all in their positions. Looking around, Nicole, Rachel, and Naomi are nominated, although they are not around, but they are all nearby like Blanchett-Naomi has no nominations this year, but "King Kong" has been shortlisted for several technical categories Awards, so the seats are basically at the front, like Kate and the others who don’t have any autographs, they go to the back, and some guests can only go to the second floor.

"Hey, Rui Fan, are you ready?"

"Jaquin, the answer will be revealed soon, have you bet on yourself?"

"You look beautiful today, Kiki, and so do you, Amanda."

Adrian greeted them one by one, and then walked to his place, but it was different when it was Annie's turn.

"Don't be discouraged, Annie, you will have a chance in the future." He said with a smile, and Annie also nodded with a smile in response, and let me, taking the opportunity to sit down, Adrian moved forward a little, and put With a look of indifference on the part of others, he lowered his voice to the lowest level: "Are you in there?"

"In... inside..." Annie's body trembled undetectably, but she kept smiling, "Anytime...anytime...you can..."

"It's a pity they didn't invite you to be the guest of honor," Adrian raised his voice immediately, "especially since you are so beautifully dressed."

Annie's smile never changed, but there were some fine beads of sweat on the tip of her nose.

After Adrian took his seat, the hall of the theater quickly darkened. After another ten minutes, with the sound of music, the 77th Academy Awards Ceremony finally started. Then, Billy was seen. Christo appeared on the stage - don't worry, he was dragged up, dragged up by this year's Oscar host.

"Listen to me, Chris, listen to me, I'm not the host of this year, it's useless for you to pull me up." Crystal pretended to be flustered.

"Oh, Billy, don't say that, I don't know how I'm going to host if you're not on it," said Chris, who was hosting. Tucker persuaded him with good words. He is a black comedian, yes, he was with Jack in the movie "Rush Hour". The guy that Chen partnered with.

To be honest, Adrian is not optimistic about his style, although the humility of the former and the current two hosts makes people smile, and the later clips that are nominated for the best movie are also very funny - Chris first in " "Soul Singer" and Lei. Charles went wild, got hit, and then went to Clint in "Million Dollar Baby." Eastwood asked for boxing advice, but was rejected by Hillary. Swank was beaten up and wanted to learn how to herd as a cowboy, but he felt embarrassed when he saw the affectionate Rui Fan and Pete, so he had to go to Howard. Hughes...

Always, that's how he strings together the five best movies, with exaggerated body movements, and makes people laugh out loud. In the end, after failing to do everything, Chris sighed that now only the host is left, and this time he must not fail and will not fail, and then appeared on the stage and received a round of applause.

This is a good start, but Adrian still insists on his opinion, unless Will is the host above. smith. In any case, Smith was born in a well-educated middle-class family, and the three views are more in line with the requirements of mainstream American society, as can be seen from his popular Chengdu, but Chris. Tucker... In short, black culture will never be the mainstream, so, in other words, to use the words of money - this is not discrimination - this is dog meat.

It's okay for a while, but once the time is long, it is easy to go wrong.
