King of Hollywood

"The story is very old-fashioned, but Sarah Michelle Gellar's charm saved it from the brink of vulgarity. Qi Niu Novels (www.qiniu.cc))" This is a newspaper's second Day's review of "Homecoming Alabama."

To be honest, this is not a pertinent comment. As a romantic comedy movie, the plot of "Love Home Alabama" is indeed very cliché. Basically, as long as you watch the beginning and think for a few minutes, the audience will realize that the heroine will sooner or later Will dump the mayor's son and return to his childhood playmate, but the movie does a good job of suspense.

Although everyone knows that the heroine will be with the hero sooner or later, even if they are arguing in the first few minutes, but the film is almost at the end, and the mayor's son has already set foot on the wedding red carpet, There is no possibility of a reunion in Chapter 127, and the actor has already signed a divorce agreement before that.

This situation is until the appearance of the old lawyer who is in charge of the heroine's divorce affairs at the wedding.

"Oh, Melanie, you woman, it's really not easy to find you."

"What's the matter, Mr. Harbert, he has already signed the divorce agreement!"

"Yes, I know, but he signed it, but you didn't!"

I believe that most of them will be stunned and then laugh out loud when they see this, especially the exasperated tone of the old lawyer, coupled with Sarah's surprised and innocent expression, the comedy effect is full. Adrian said at the premiere that he liked this plot very much, and it was such an unexpected big turn that made the whole movie more vivid. If it wasn't for this, Adrian wouldn't have made this movie The movie is for Sarah.

Of course, Sarah's performance in it is indeed very good, not to mention the change of accent between the north and the south, and many details are well handled, making the heroine's psychological change look very convincing.

Adrian saw those comments in Amanda's bedroom, while he was sitting neatly by the bed and flipping through the newspaper. Amanda, who was sitting on the head of the bed in her pajamas, was sipping the breakfast he bought.

"Want some hot juice?" Part of his attention was on Amanda, though he was reading the paper.

"Thank you." Amanda was not polite, and pushed the empty cup in front of him.

Adrian immediately picked it up and walked out, and then walked back quickly. He was not courteous but also not superior. His attitude was well controlled, giving people a feeling of spring breeze. In addition, although Amanda's bedroom is not big, she tidyed it up very neatly, and an indescribable sense of warmth wafted out immediately.

Amanda was not in a hurry to drink the juice, but looked at Adrian for a long time before saying: "You are indeed a very gentle man. Ed, no wonder so many women fall in love with you."

After she said that sentence last night, the following things were basically predictable, especially the sentence "no man has ever been in there", a pun, which directly aroused Adrian's sexual interest. As for the Valentine's Day rules, oh, don't worry, as long as it's past 12 o'clock, like Miranda Kerr's time. And just enough time to flirt with Amanda.

Amanda's apartment is in a middle-class neighborhood. Although the law and order is not as good as in the rich neighborhood, it is definitely much better than the slums. The clear distinction between the rich neighborhood and the poor neighborhood is one of the biggest characteristics of American cities, and the bias of the police force is naturally different. Of course, thanks to the role of Buffy's sister in "Buffy the Vampire Slayer", otherwise she would not be able to rent an apartment here, but she can move out at this age. It can be seen that Amanda is also a very independent girl.

Adrian doesn't mind this kind of independence. In fact, the more independent you are, the more you need to prove yourself, otherwise Amanda won't change her face after hearing the phrase "play on TV for a while." In the past few years, she has played too many TV roles. She is tired of these and longs to be a blockbuster in the movies. The influence of TV is always inferior to that of TV.

In Amanda's neat little den. Adrian chatted with her for a long time, until he was completely relaxed before starting the foreplay slowly. His timing was very accurate, and he entered her body at 12:01, so it was not a violation. Of course, like all the girls he got for the first time, Amanda enjoyed a perfect orgasm under his full preparations, so that everything calmed down. She had to hold Adrian tightly to fall asleep, so he woke up in the morning and had to wake her up in order to prepare breakfast.

"Thank you." Adrian smiled slightly, looking at Amanda with admiring eyes, and didn't think there was anything wrong with her last sentence.

"I really like chasing beautiful women, it's a man's nature." He continued, "There are no careless men in this world, but some people restrain themselves under various pressures. I'm different from ordinary playboys, I respect women very much, and if I like them, I can’t let them be hurt, just like a beautiful flower should be bathed in the morning dew, and should be plucked and held in the palm of the hand for care and appreciation, instead of being discarded casually.”

This sentence was so contagious that Amanda was stunned for a few minutes.

"But you still used some means... to force me and seduce me." She said provocatively after a while.

"Of course, because I want you, not just a one-night stand," Adrian said, looking into her eyes, and slid his hand across her face, "You're beautiful, Amanda, and this kind of beauty makes me want to Possess you."

Such blunt words made Amanda feel no annoyance at all, even after Adrian pinched her chin, she still looked away uncomfortably.

"Like... Kirsten?" she asked, biting her lip. "Are there many women like that?"

"You can ignore it," Adrian said here with a sigh, "I'm sorry, but I believe you also know that for me, ten years ago I could meet many simple girls, but now I have to Take some measures."

He leaned in front of her and stroked her lips lightly with his finger: "Maybe you can change my point of view."

This is not a lie. Since Amanda can play tricks and want to make his image in her heart not so special, Adrian can naturally do the same. He didn't care about such scheming, even women like Zeta Jones and Nicole were tamed by him, obediently flattering him, not to mention the girl Amanda.

Amanda stopped talking, but her chest rose and fell slightly. Adrian smiled slightly, then kissed her lips, and the girl began to cater to her without even thinking about it. First the lips intersected, and then sucked for a long time. With the entanglement of tongues, Amanda followed Adrian's rhythm completely. She didn't wake up until Adrian suddenly stopped and left. Even so, she was still unsatisfied. Leaned forward.

"You just tried it yesterday, although I have been very careful. But don't do too much strenuous activity." Adrian said with a smile, "If you want, I can stay here with you all day, if you don't want to, Then I will leave now, and I will come to see you after you calm down in a few days."

"No need!" Amanda blurted out. Although she immediately understood that she had lost her composure, she still said after rolling her throat, "You can stay."

"Okay, then I will serve you exclusively today." Adrian laughed, then remembered something and said: "That's right. There happens to be a sixteen or seventeen-year-old character that hasn't been decided yet, maybe you can go to Try it. It's a very important role that requires acting skills, and there are two well-known actresses as foils, do you have the confidence to show your best side?"

"Of course!" Amanda's eyes lit up immediately, and she agreed, "I can definitely do it!"

"White Oleander", this is the movie that Adrian said. The general content of the story is that the heroine lives happily and happily with her mother. Until one day, the mother was attracted by someone and fell madly in love with him, so she poisoned him with oleander flowers after being abandoned. The heroine witnesses her mother's arrest and her life is changed forever, having to move from one foster home to another, learning to face the difficult world and come out of the shadows. But at the same time, the mother in prison continues to influence her in various ways.

The movie was adapted from Janet Finch's novel of the same name, and was once recommended by Oprah Winfrey in her book club. In Adrian's memory, the box office of the movie was mediocre, but the word of mouth was amazing Gao, he originally planned to let Anne Hathaway play the leading role, and let Julia try to transform by the way. And let Kate accumulate acting skills. The role of Julia is the mother of the heroine, and she can be regarded as an independent woman, but she is suspected of being a villain, while Kate plays the supporting role of the second adopted heroine and is also a mother. She is a very nice woman, but because Julia's character hated her for taking away her daughter's feelings, she used sharp words to humiliate her when she went to visit the prison, causing her to commit suicide after she went back, and her daughter completely reconciled The mother in prison turned her face.

I believe that if Julia and Kate play well, this part of the scene must be very interesting, but it was originally scheduled to be launched last month, but it is still in preparation, because...

Although Amanda is a little younger than Anne, her acting skills are not bad. Whether it is in Adrian's memory or now in "Buffy the Vampire Slayer", she is very good. Although she may still be a little immature, but who is not immature, let the director pay attention, let Julia and Kate take care of her for a while, maybe it will be better than the original version, anyway, she is sensible and not like someone. Will make a decision, it is appropriate to give this role to her.

Since he stayed with Amanda in her apartment for most of the day, and went out with her in the evening, Adrian stayed at her house again that night, which was full of passion. Perhaps because of the affirmative answer from him, and the fact that they got along very well, when Adrian seduced him a little while taking a bath together, Amanda offered her mouth for the first time. Adrian also deliberately put it on her face at the end, Amanda was a little offended but didn't say much.

Putting this matter aside for now, "Love to Alabama" won a box office of 32 million in 3,000 theaters in the first week, and it was undoubtedly on the top of the North American box office list. %, but because it is already in the off-season, and there are no better romantic comedy movies at the same time, so it won the throne with more than 20 million. North America is very promising, and Sarah's sweet image on the big screen is also further recognized.

However, it wasn't "Homecoming Alabama" and its starring Sarah Michelle Gellar that attracted the most attention in late February, nor was it that Laura Crawford, who had lasted for more than half a month, The prototype Kate? Beckinsale's daughter and the media tycoon Adrian? Cowell all kinds of tricks, but the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced the 74th Oscar nomination list!

This time, many film companies breathed a sigh of relief. Although there are still two nominations for the best film belonging to the film company of the media--"The Lord of the Rings 1" and "Moulin Rouge" directed by Adrian himself--but after all, it is better than last year. A near monopoly is much better. As for the other three films, "Regardless Love" and "Gosford Manor" are independent films, and "A Beautiful Mind" has investment from Universal. But DreamWorks stepped in again. Although everyone knows the close relationship between the media and DreamWorks, it is another completely independent film company after all.

The nomination for best director surprised many people. Before that, many expected that Adrian would get two more nominations, but after the list was officially released, it was found that he only had one best director nomination for "Lord of the Rings 1". This made many people very puzzled, isn't Adrian planning to compete for this year's best director? You know, from the birth of the Oscar to the present, no director has won the best director with unrealistic films, and the film academy has long privately stated that they will consider more realistic films and directors. From this point of view. The probability of winning the best director with "Moulin Rouge" is much higher than that of "Lord of the Rings 1". After all, it has been a long time since there has been such a well-received song and dance movie, and most of the judges who can dominate the results of the Film Academy like it. nostalgic.

And after inquiring later, I found out that it is very likely that Adrian himself gave up on applying for the best director for "Moulin Rouge", which is even more strange. Does he have confidence in himself or does he want to give up this Oscar ? Looking at the list of directors, Ron Howard, Ridley Scott, and Robert Altman are all very strong contenders, especially Robert Altman has been nominated for Oscars several times, and the Palme d'Or, Golden Lion, I have taken all the golden bears, and now I only need a little golden man. Maybe Adrian wanted to avoid him?

No matter how you guess, people will never know Adrian's calculations, and his true intentions will not be known until a few years later.

As for the best actor, it did not come as a surprise to many people. Russell Crowe was undisputedly nominated for his completely opposite image in "Gladiator". Some people speculate that he is very likely to be like Tom Han Keith became the second person to win the Best Actor in a row, after all, it was also the director of Miracle who praised him. However, some people speculate that this year may be a victory for blacks. There has been no nomination for a black actor for a long time. This year, there are two nominations at once. In addition to Denzel Washington's "Training Day" nomination, Will Smith also got a nomination for "Ali Biography".

The only thing I don't understand is that Dennis Knight, who had an excellent performance in "I Am Sam", failed to get nominated, despite the overall mediocre plot of the film. Therefore, the ratings of professional film critics are not high, but they all agree that the performances of the three main actors are still very good. Because of this, Naomi Watts, who played the female lawyer, and Dakota Fanning, who played his daughter, were nominated for Best Supporting Actress. I believe Dennis will be very depressed.

The best actress nominations, no doubt, is the world of miracle girls, "Moulin Rouge" Nicole? Kidman, "A Beautiful Mind" Gwyneth? Paltrow. Sophie Marceau from Chocolate and... Rachel Weisz from DJ's Diary. Although Rachel and Adrian have not worked together, many people in the circle have seen her intimate appearance with him, not to mention that her films are basically produced by the film companies of the media.

"Adrian deserves to be the director who knows women best." A newspaper said with a slightly sour taste. You must know that even Woody Allen, whose subject matter is always switching between men and women, cannot have so many women nominated at one time.

Just look at these women. Rachel Weisz was selected by him to play the role in "The English Patient", who became famous at the beginning. She also played a role in "The English Patient" and was nominated for Best Supporting Actress. She can show a completely different character from "Braveheart". On the other side, Sophie Marceau was also hand-picked by him.

As for Gwyneth Paltrow, the shadow of Adrian is indispensable behind every Oscar nomination in the past few years. Because of this, many people speculate that she is the most likely candidate to win the Oscar this year. She can compete with Nicole Kidman. The rumor that Nicole divorced Cruise because of Adrian is already an open secret in the circle. The fact proves that her choice is correct. The best supporting actress last year is the best proof, but the same, this year It is a little troublesome to get the best actress, even if she starred in a movie directed by the director of Marvel himself.

However, the media did not ignore the fifth best actress nominee. Although she has no dazzling achievements and eye-catching scandals compared to the previous four candidates, she has created a record. Keesar Caster-Hughes, a twelve-year-old girl of Maori ancestry from Western Australia, won an Oscar for her utterly natural performance in Whale Rider despite her first film appearance The youngest best actress nomination in history! (Note)

Just a year after Natalie Portman became the youngest Oscar nominee for Best Actress at the age of 19 for "Winter's Bone," the young Australian actor is breaking it and Push this record to the point where it is very likely that it will never be broken again, so even if everyone knows that she is impossible to win the award, she is too young, but countless shots are still aimed at her.
