King of Hollywood

Chapter 198 is naturally more classic in my hands

The role makes the actor, not the actor makes the role, this is something anyone who enters the entertainment circle should understand. . So for an opportunity, a possible opportunity, they will try their best to fight for it. Of course, there are also people who stick to their own principles. Such people are worthy of admiration, but unfortunately there are not many of them. Unless they are particularly lucky, they will eventually be eliminated and disappear.

Therefore, those powerful film company executives, or producers who are good at making blockbuster movies, and talented independent directors are the targets of favored by actors who want to get ahead. But what if someone has all three characteristics together? For example - Adrian Kewell, a media upstart, a gold medal producer, and a miracle director?

Seven years ago, he was still an unknown person. Seven years later, he has become an upstart in the media industry, and has as much voice in Hollywood as any director, producer, or company executive who has worked hard for more than ten years. There are at least dozens of big-selling movies related to him. There are countless actors and directors who have shown their talents because of him. They won the Golden Globe and regained their status, not to mention Hu Kaili. Today's "Charlie's Angels" has made their fame even higher, and playing 4P together is no big deal.

What's more, besides this, there are many other people who also won honors at the Oscars because of him, such as Steven Spielberg, Al Pacino, Tom Hanks, Emma Thompson, etc. wait. Think about it, how can a guy who is both powerful and talented and can win the highest honors not attract women? What's more, he is very good at coaxing women, and he is very patient with everyone.

It was also because of this that he was able to hold arrogant women like Julia, Blanchett, and Nicole in his hands. Of course, only he could do this, and it was absolutely impossible for anyone else.

Well, this is all cliché stuff, but Adrian had a good night anyway. Facts have proved that he has absolutely no problem with one-on-three, whether the three women kneel down and take turns sucking, or fight one after another, or climb side by side on the bed at the same time, he will kill them all. , Desperate to immortality. Even so, he was still full of energy after waking up the next day, while Drew, Cameron, and Kelly Hu were too tired to get up.

Maybe one more or two would be fine? Facing the three entangled bodies on the bed, Adrian couldn't help but think so. However, this idea was thrown out by him after a few turns. Instead of thinking about it, he should think about how to add another one between Gwyneth and Blanchett, or even Kate and Charlize.

After all, they are different from Drew and others. Drew and Cameron are just friendly matches, but they are his carefully collected collections. It's a friendly match, it's over after the game, but the collection still needs affection, especially Kate, Sarah, Charlize and Natalie, the first few women he knew.

Needless to say, Charlize accompanied him all the way, and the mutual resonance between them is self-evident, and her blunt words sounded more like sex; although Sarah kept saying that she sold herself to him, But the nostalgia in my heart is very clear; Needless to say, Natalie, among so many women, it is rare to have such an object that needs to be managed, and it is also very interesting, isn't it? Although I always felt that something was wrong; as for Kate, that was the first woman he got after rebirth, and it was relatively simple at that time, let alone the mother of his first child. .

The later, the greater the career, the less the proportion of feelings, but definitely not without it. Monica, Julia, Gwyneth, Blanchett, Liv, etc. have poured in, even the leprechaun or Rachel, Zeta Jones and Nicole also have it, but the weight is different. . So it is definitely not easy for their women to accept or join in.

Well, this is a topic worth studying, and it won't be solved in a while, so let's take it slowly. There are more important things now, such as the announcement of the first Oscar nomination list.

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences chose to announce it on February 21. Everyone sighed in unison after getting the list, and another new record was born. That already world-famous big ship got a total of 15 nominations. Yes, 15. The academy was right, and people were right. Titanic surpassed the unprecedented 15 nominations of "Beautiful Comet" and became an Oscar most nominated film in history

"It's really a historic moment. On the first year of the Oscars, Cameron's big boat presented a special gift. Although he failed to nominate the best actor and best supporting actor, the number of nominations has already explained everything. I am afraid that it will be difficult for any film to achieve this level in the future." The New York Times wrote with emotion.

Yes, it is similar to what Adrian remembers, nominated for Best Film, Best Director, Best Editing, Best Costume Design, and Best Song. Gwyneth also got her wish and won the Oscar for the first time in her life. Nominated for Best Actress, but DiCaprio still failed to get nominated for Best Actor. This is not surprising, this is invisible discrimination. Tom Cruise also took a long time to get a nomination. How could DiCaprio, who was younger than him when he was nominated for the first time, be an exception? So if you want to be nominated, you should wait until you are disabled.

As for Best Supporting Actor, that’s because there are no real supporting actors in the film. Whether it’s the fiancé Carl or the first mate Victor, they all have similar roles and each has its own highlights. It’s normal not to be nominated. So which one is the extra nomination? is best original screenplay

In order to add one more nomination, Adrian spent a lot of effort, spending a lot of public relations expenses, and Laverne and Weinstein were responsible for it together. In short, one more nomination was needed. In my memory, "Titanic" has 14 nominations equal to "Beauty of the Comet", but now that it was written by him, it must be different.

This is why he has been asking Da Chuan to maintain the number of theaters until now, even at the expense of increasing the share of theaters - anyway, he has already made enough profits at the box office - the theaters that have already fallen to double digits, Immediately after the nomination list came out, it returned to triple digits, and after the end of the month, Dachuan officially announced that the global box office had exceeded 100 million yuan.

So Hollywood film companies started a new round of beating their chests and feet. If they set a box office record, they will set a box office record, but is it necessary to create such a high record? Almost all of them are looking up their necks. Do you dare to give us a little miss of catching up? And seeing that it is finally going offline, the Oscar nominations have started to be hyped again. You have released it since June last year. Is this going to be released for a year? How many topics do you want to occupy?

"It's really a sad thing. A movie that is piled up with technical effects is so popular, but a really good movie is ignored." Some critics wrote in their column But this is only an extremely isolated phenomenon. Except for some European critics who followed suit, no one responded, and more critics still hold a positive attitude.

"Although there are many factors that caused the box office miracle of "Titanic", the themes expressed in the film, the thoughts about love and human nature, are no less than the film technology displayed. The choice of the academy is not wrong, Cameron He is an excellent director, and Adrian once again proved his vision." This is the comment of "USA Today".

As Adrian said before, since it came from his hand, it must be different, such as being more classic and jaw-dropping, such as being nominated for 15 Oscars, or breaking through a box office of over 100 million US dollars worldwide.

"To be honest, I suddenly regret it." At the celebration party that followed, Adrian waved the final check to Cameron.

"Regret? Regret that you shouldn't have given me so much?" Cameron unceremoniously snatched the check from Wan Wan. This is the 30th check, which means that Adrian gave him a total of 1.5 billion. dividends.

"Of course not, I just think I should choose a check that is even a million, so that I can really flood you with checks." Adrian said seriously.

Cameron burst out laughing, then raised the beer bottle to him: "Thank you, Ed, thank you very much."

"Don't say that, you will be successful without me, I firmly believe in that." Adrian also raised the beer bottle in his hand.

Cameron smiled and didn't speak, he drank the rest of the beer in one gulp, his face flushed with excitement. With the rising performance of "Titanic" in the past six months, he has become more and more elated, and people in Hollywood have also given him more and more respect. It is absolutely impossible to be unhappy.

But he also knew that without Adrian's unreserved support, he would never be able to do this. Even if I told him at this time, he would not believe what would have happened without Adrian, so he took those words as a polite remark. Anyway, as long as the other party needed it, he agreed to everything.

Adrian also understands this, but he didn't talk about new works with Cameron. It's not the time yet, and the battle for votes has just begun. Even with the backing of a global box office of 100 million yuan, there is still a need for public relations. The nomination record has been broken before, why not work harder to break the award record? The more it gets to this time, the more we have to worry about capsizing in the gutter.

And the allocation of resources is also a problem. You know, in addition to "Titanic" getting 15 nominations, "L.A. Confidential" also got 1 nominations. The best supporting actress nomination promised to Zeta Jones was fulfilled.

"Looking at their comments, beauty and acting skills are equally important, making it hard to ignore. Maybe it's not perfect, but what they show is enough to conquer people who miss that era." Adrian came to Zee while reading the newspaper. Behind Ta Jones, he hugged the sexy girl in white women's clothing standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows.

"Pretty good." Zeta Jones turned his head with a faint smile on his face.

"You answered a little perfunctorily, my best supporting actress." Adrian kissed her earball.

"Not yet, you said, I can't get it this time, just to increase my qualifications, qualifications in Hollywood." Zeta Jones turned around.

"Yes, but it will be a matter of time to get it, as long as I am here." Adrian smiled slightly.

Zeta Jones looked at her in a daze, and even forgot to speak for a while, his eyes were a little complicated and confused, making him look even more beautiful and moving.

"Hey, what's the matter?" Adrian asked softly at this moment.

"Well... just a little unhappy." She woke up immediately and said while hiding the frustration between her brows.

"Why are you unhappy, can you tell me?" Adrian asked, "If you don't want to say it, then you don't have to force it."

"It's nothing, I had a cold before, but you didn't look at me, that's all." Zeta Jones said in a relaxed tone.

"Well, I apologize. I made a mistake at this time. Although things were busy those days, it was indeed a big mistake to forget this." Adrian said immediately.

Zeta Jones raised his eyebrows in surprise, and sighed after looking at him for a long time: "I thought you would justify yourself, such as 'I called you' or something."

"There's no excuse for that, my dear, it's indeed a mistake, and it's a mistake that must be admitted. If a person doesn't even dare to admit his own mistakes, then can he be expected to do anything great?" Adrian waved his hand .

Seeing his appearance as it should be, Zeta Jones couldn't help but sighed again in his heart, and then continued to ask in a relaxed tone: "Then there should be some compensation, right?"

"There was a party about "Titanic" today, but I declined and came to you." Adrian said immediately.

Zeta Jones burst out laughing, and looked at him with charming eyes: "I thought you would still be so straightforward."

"Really?" Adrian shrugged, "Okay, if you think it's not enough to use me as compensation, why don't you tell me what I have to do to make you accept my apology?"

"I'm just joking, Ed." Zeta Jones laughed, and then walked back to the living room and sat on the sofa, "Do you have any arrangements for the afternoon, I'll listen to you."

"There is no arrangement, just chat here." Adrian sat down beside her, then hugged her legs and put them on his lap, "Listen to you talking about the time, last time you It's not over yet."

"Do you really want to listen?" Zeta Jones put away his smile and became calm.

"Of course." Adrian patted her thigh lightly and replied in a sure tone.

When people are immersed in one thing, time always passes quickly, almost in the blink of an eye, and the afternoon passed. Before the sun went down and the sky was not completely dark, Adrian got up and said goodbye .

"You really don't want to spend the night with me, Ed?" Zeta Jones said in a slightly resentful tone.

"Frankly speaking, I really want to, baby, but there are still a lot of things to be busy recently. I have an important meeting tomorrow morning. I have to prepare, so I am really sorry." Adrian said in an apologetic tone, Then kissed her on the lips, "I'll see you again in two days, when we go out for a drive, how about going to the Nevada desert?"

As he said he blinked his eyes deliberately, Zeta-Jones immediately snorted heavily, as if saying no. She didn't hold back anymore, kissed Adrian back, watched him get into the car and watched the car disappear at the street before going back to the room and closing the door, then sighed irritably, and went to the refrigerator in the kitchen to find a can of beer Opened it and took a few sips before going back to the living room to sit down and rubbing the sides of his head in the rustling sound.

Already aware of it? It's a pity that it's too late. If I realized it before the nomination list came out, I'm afraid it will take a lot of trouble, but now...how would you choose, Catherine Zeta-Jones? You...will you be willing? On the way back, Adrian thought, smiling as he drove.

He wasn't lying, the reason for not staying overnight at Zeta Jones' place was because things were busy during this time, Titanic had an all-time high of 15 nominations and L.A. Confidential had a nod - in addition to the nine I remember In addition, Rui Fan? Phoenix actually got a nomination for the best actor. This made many people not expect that when the company first submitted him to compete for the best actor, they just had the mentality of trying it out. It really got a nomination. The reporters also shouted that the youngest Venice actor is back.

"Five years after the scandal of taking drugs and being admitted to the hospital, River Phoenix has returned to the public's field of vision again. Although he has appeared in many movies before and played Ryan in "Saving Private Ryan", but at the The haze of "L.A. Confidential" still hangs over his head, and many people still think that he can't go back to the past. But Rui Fan's excellent performance in "LA Confidential" gave the most powerful response this time, and won the Oscar for best performance. The nomination of the leading actor, no matter whether he wins this time or not, cannot be denied, River Phoenix is ​​still the same River Phoenix." A review in the "Los Angeles Times" wrote.

It can be seen from this that Rui Fan still has a lot of popularity. His outstanding performance in his youth has preserved the capital for his comeback. Of course, his own outstanding ability is also the reason. Rescuing him is indeed a good deal.

In short, both films are nominated, so public relations resources must be properly allocated. There is no doubt that the best film and best director must be won for "Titanic". But other aspects must be discussed. Adrian requires the ship to win at least 12 awards. Although this is also the same as the nomination, it is only one more, but it is not easy to achieve. Those places are relatively weak and need to be adjusted. Fighting for L.A. Confidential, these need to be discussed.

At this time, Adrian thought of something again, turned the steering wheel, and the car drove to a nearby high-end hypermarket. \u003c/p\u003e
