King of Hollywood

"This is an excellent work, which is the result of everyone's joint efforts, Judy, Anthony, Scott, George, etc., without you, there would be no "The Silence of the Lambs", thank you!" Jonathan ·Demi finished his speech with the statuette of the best film as a producer.

There was a burst of applause in the hall of the music center. Everyone, no matter what they were thinking, was applauding that this movie won the best picture Oscar at this moment, and Adrian was no exception.

"Okay, guys, it's over, don't be so downcast, remember how you comforted me before? It's just a game." After the award ceremony was announced, Adrian said to the people around him who generally seemed depressed .

"They're just not reconciled." Robbins explained, "After all, they won 8 nominations but didn't win a single award. It's really unreasonable."

"Indeed, at least I think Best Cinematography and Best Editing should go either way," Dennis cut in.

"Don't do this, think about "Turning Point" in 1977 and "Purple" in 1985. Both received 11 nominations but got nothing." Adrian waved his hand indifferently, "It's no big deal, there will be opportunities in the future .”

Walking to the front hall, the crowded crowd dispersed a lot. Many people gathered together in twos and threes to chat and wait for their cars or companions. The winners of several major awards went to the side hall to take pictures according to the tradition. After looking around for a while, Adrian and Robbins said hello and walked towards their goal.

"Hey, James, congratulations." He came to James Cameron who was chatting with several people.

"Congratulations? Well, from your point of view, we are right to congratulate us." Cameron looked at Adrian and said jokingly, "It's really unfortunate."

But he immediately put away his smile: "Don't worry, Ed, look, I've never been nominated for best director yet."

"When you nominate, the best director is already in your pocket." Adrian smiled.

"Is this a prophecy? Thank you, but I think so too." Cameron laughed loudly, as expected of a madman.

The two chatted a few more words casually, most of which focused on film technology. Most of the time, Cameron was talking and Adrian was listening. When it comes to specific technologies, he is definitely not as good as this technical madman, but occasionally he can give the other party some eye-catching tips.

"The reporters outside seem to have almost left, and I should leave too." Adrian said to Cameron after looking at the front hall, which was much less crowded.

"Okay, I'll contact you later." Cameron nodded and turned to leave.

"By the way, James," Adrian suddenly stopped him again, "do you have any plans recently?"

"Temporarily...no, I planned to go on a trip with Linda after I was busy with "Terminator 2", but I have been delayed by such and such things." Cameron spread his hands helplessly. Linda in his mouth is "" Linda Hamilton, the heroine in Terminator 2, is now his girlfriend.

"Why, do you have any good ideas?" He said and looked at Adrian with a look of interest.

"It's like this. I accidentally watched a French movie called "The Complete Woman". It was released at the end of last year. It was very interesting. The main idea is that the hero cannot reveal his identity to his family and friends because he is an elite in the secret police. In their eyes , he is just a mediocre clerk, and his wife has been longing for excitement, so he is attracted by a liar who claims to be a secret agent, and after the actor finds out, he starts to use his position to track his wife's life, which triggers a lot of dumbfounding. thing. I think it's a good subject for a remake."

Seeing that Cameron frowned, Adrian then added: "Of course, the whole movie is still full of boring chatter unique to the French. If you want to remake it, you must undergo major surgery and add some big scenes——Arnold How about flying a Harrier between tall buildings? Well, wait until you see the movie."

"Your idea is very interesting, Ed," Cameron said, rubbing his chin. "Isn't Complete Woman? I'll watch it."

Then he nodded, turned around and walked away. Adrian watched him for a distance and chuckled, and walked slowly outside.

In another time and space, few people have seen the movie "Complete Woman", but the American remake directed by James Cameron has a famous name: "True Lies"!

Although compared to the budget, this film with a global box office of nearly 400 million US dollars did not earn as much as some other high-grossing blockbusters, but it well explained the meaning of large investment and large production, and it also served as an example for Cameron. That film that caught the world's attention paved the way. For the sake of his own empire, Adrian has no reason to let it go, not to mention that he can further win over this technical madman.

"Hey, Ed." A voice came over and interrupted Adrian's thinking, and then Jonathan Demi appeared in front of him with a smile on his face, holding a shining statuette in his hand.

"The crew has a celebration party at the Melita Hotel. Would you like to come and join us? We can talk about "Philadelphia Story" by the way." Demi sent out the invitation, but he soon realized something, and the smile on his face Then it gets awkward.

However, Adrian did not show an offended look, and asked seriously after thinking for two seconds: "Can I participate?"

"Hmm...Of course." The astonished Demi nodded subconsciously.

"Then, it's a great honor." Adrian smiled slightly.

The crew of "The Silence of the Lambs" contracted the lobby on the fourth floor of the Melita Hotel, which can accommodate nearly a hundred guests. Not only people from the film crew and film company attended the celebration party, but also invited many other industry celebrities, of course, all related to entertainment, such as the editor-in-chief of "Vanity Fair" Tina Brown.

But the most curious thing is Adrian, the director of "The Shawshank Redemption". The "Shawshank Redemption" that won 8 nominations not only failed to win a prize, but also lost all important awards to "The Silence of the Lambs". , but he didn't feel any loss at all, and even came to the celebration party of "The Silence of the Lambs"...

Well, it’s true that director Jonathan Demme invited him. It’s true that the two of them have a good relationship. It’s also true that they will no longer be rivals after the award ceremony. Feel.

"You all know that "The Shawshank Redemption" didn't win a prize, so it's impossible to hold a party to celebrate. It's too bad that I have nowhere to go! Just at this time, Joe came to invite me, so I agreed, "Adrian's tone was a bit teasing about himself, "I don't think you will mind, right?"
