King of Hollywood

Chapter 211 is about to start

"As long as I think about it, it's very easy to get nominated? Well, only you can say this in Hollywood." Cameron said with emotion after calming down the reporters.

Adrian smiled and didn't answer, he didn't need to say anything, it was the truth. But from the director's point of view, he may not be as good as Spielberg or Lucas or Scorsese, an old guy who has been in Hollywood for more than ten years and has a richer network. But to add to that, there's no one who makes movies in Hollywood who can stand up to him.

These old guys all have their own film companies, and Dreamworks even has a faint tendency to fill the peacock left by the merged United Artists and become the eighth largest film company in Hollywood, which is comparable to the three medium-sized film companies in Adrian's hands. up. But the problem is that he has more than a film company in his hands, not to mention the two TV stations. Pixar, the ugly duckling of Silicon Valley, only he sees its potential. Now it is another dazzling pearl after Disney that has completely revolutionized animation production. Major film companies are now looking for business opportunities in 3D animation production.

In addition, not to mention Miramax and New Line, Adrian contributed a lot to Bosworth Films' rejuvenation from a declining state. Especially in the first two years when he took over, basically all the blockbuster movies came from him, and he also established good relationships with other companies because of this. Although it seems a lot less now, in fact, many blockbuster movies are still inextricably linked to him.

What's more, he himself can produce all kinds of well-received movies. Spielberg and the others didn't win the Oscar for Best Director at the age of 25. Or to put it in a more vivid way, it is like Rupert Murdoch or Summer Redstone manages their own group in an orderly manner, and on the other hand, they can personally act and direct to produce amazing works ——Although people more or less know that Adrian does not speak much in his own group, and has always claimed that his friend Claude contributed to the development of the group to where it is today, but he is firmly in the seat after all. In the position of chairman, and the film and television works of the entire media can be said to be supported by him alone.

No one would feel arrogant or arrogant when such a character said the above words. He has the capital, doesn't he?

"Congratulations, James." A crisp voice rang out, with a cadence and a British accent.

"Thank you, you too, Gwynnie." Cameron smiled and shook hands with the beautiful woman who appeared in front of him, followed by looking around, and stretched his neck to look behind her twice.

"What are you looking for?" Gwyneth asked curiously.

"I'm worried, will you suddenly create a basin full of water from behind and pour me from head to toe." Cameron said solemnly.

Gwyneth immediately covered her mouth and giggled: "I didn't know you were still so humorous, James."

"So you see, we may have opportunities to cooperate in the future." Cameron continued to maintain a serious look.

"Don't even think about it, James," Gwyneth yelled immediately, "I will never take my words back."

During the promotion of the big ship, Gwyneth told the media more than once that she would never want to cooperate with Cameron in the future because he was too harsh. Of course, they are basically said with a smile, and with a taste of ridicule and self-deprecation, which can also be seen as praising him for his excellence in disguise. Only someone knows that this is indeed Gwyneth's real idea.

"You'll have my back, won't you, Ed?" She cast her eyes on Adrian, and gave him a small smile. She is wearing a brown transparent silk evening dress, which is half-covered and looks very seductive. Her golden hair is pulled straight and hangs from one side. The faintly classical temperament adds another three points to her charm. .

"Of course, even if James grabs my neck and threatens to kill me if I don't hand you over, I won't agree." Adrian shrugged.

"It's impossible, and even if there is, it's just that you grabbed my neck and told me not to treat Gwynnie harshly." Cameron snorted softly, and then walked forward, "I'll go first Let's take a step."

"Even if you come in now, the little golden man will not be handed over to you in advance." Although Adrian yelled at the back to keep him, he couldn't let him stay for a moment longer, but he was quite knowledgeable.

"Look, you scared away the most potential best director candidate tonight when you came here. It's really... terrible." Adrian looked at Gwyneth and said in a teasing tone.

"Am I the plague?" Gwyneth raised her eyebrows pretending to be displeased.

"Of course not, otherwise they wouldn't press the shutter so hard. The flash almost dazzled my eyes." Adrian glanced at the reporters not far away. At first, there were not many people, and when Cameron left, So the camera is all pointing here, the director of Marvel with one of his Wonder Girls, is there anything more worth filming than this? As long as they show a little bit of intimacy, tomorrow's news will be written again.

"Okay, then I'll go in first." Gwyneth sighed helplessly, she knew he was reminding herself, after glancing around, she hummed softly in a voice that only the two of them could hear With a sound, he turned and walked inside.

Adrian also sighed softly, and looked where she swept, Monica, Julia, and Blanchett entered their eyes one by one, and they all glanced at him intentionally or unintentionally, and Gwen Like Nisi, they were all waiting for his appearance on the red carpet, even if someone came earlier. Monica is wearing a black tube top evening dress, which complements her messy black hair, making her sexy more mysterious; Julia is wearing a golden light V-neck evening dress, with her hair rolled up behind, so that the She has a more noble temperament; Blanchett is wearing a pink sleeveless evening dress with some small decorations, short and medium hair curled down from both sides, with a slightly proud smile, but also has an approachable look. Feel.

Each has its own merits. Adrian couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart, and then a little regretful. Although Kate has made a successful comeback, it is far from enough to rely on "Time to Kill", and she is not the protagonist, so she simply stays at home with Lily. Both Sarah and Liv have expressed that they are not interested in the Oscars, and they have no nominations, so why bother to join in the fun? Anyway, with Adrian here, the chances of most actresses wanting to step on the Oscars red carpet are not worth mentioning to them. Of course, as for what they are thinking in their hearts, that is their business.

Natalie is not qualified yet, and Kirsten is not nominated - she has ambition and brains, not to mention Adrian has told her a lot, now is the time to hide her clumsiness. But I have to say that this is a pity, Adrian still has some memories of what happened at the awards ceremony last year. As for Sophie, she should have come, but she complained on the phone that Adrian didn't go to France many times during this period, and lost her temper, so she didn't come at all, but her main thoughts were probably the same as Sarah's. La and Liv are not much different.

As for Naomi and Nicole, needless to say, for the latter, the current turmoil has not completely passed, do you want to attend with Cruise? And according to her current temper, even if she came, she wouldn't wait for him on the red carpet like Monica and the others. So, the only fish that slipped through the net, Rachel, Adrian found an excuse to deal with her again.

However, instead of going to one of the three of them after Gwyneth left, Adrian chose to...

"Gentlemen, you all seem to be in high spirits." Adrian laughed.

"Aren't you the same, Ed." Kevin Spacey answered first, Russell Crowe and River Phoenix also greeted him with a smile, besides... Catherine Zeta jones.

She is also wearing a black one-shoulder evening dress, her hair is also messy but not messy, and her sexy appearance is no less than that of Monica. Although she does not have her sense of mystery, the sultry aura from the inside out attracts everyone. She has attracted the attention of many men, and with her very natural charm, she is indeed a stunner.

"Mr. Adrian, "L.A. Confidential" and "Titanic" were nominated for best film at the same time. Which film do you want to win the most?" a reporter shouted.

"No matter which film wins, it's an honor. Frankly speaking, instead of thinking about it, we should bless Rui Fan, maybe he will become the youngest best actor." Adrian simply pushed the question aside. .

"What do you think about Leonardo's failure to win the best actor, Mr. Adrian?" A reporter asked hurriedly.

Leonardo was not nominated for Best Actor as he remembered, and he also refused to attend this awards ceremony as he remembered, young and energetic, right? In a few years, when he recalls his current actions, he will definitely regret it. Rui Fan is only four years older than Leonardo, and he is also the youngest winner of the Venice Film Festival. When the reporter asks this question, it is obvious that they are making comparisons. As for whether they will provoke conflicts, it is not their business. How can there be news about contradictions?

Adrian also knew this, so he just waved his hand, and then led Spacey and the others away from the reporter's range, ignoring their repeated questions.

"I'm really sorry to interrupt your interview." Adrian said apologetically.

"It doesn't matter, we are just a routine, and we have almost answered during the time that should be answered." Crowe said immediately.

Adrian smiled, then looked at Rui Fan: "How do you feel? Is there any difference between the Oscar nomination for Best Actor and the Venice nomination for Best Actor?"

"It's not different, the most is... the Oscar nominations have received more attention." Rui Fan shrugged, not too emotionally fluctuating, but it fits his name very well. Time is absolutely calm.

"It would be even better if you can get it, the youngest winner of Venice and Oscar." Adrian laughed, but he also knew that this was basically impossible, and the three major European film festivals were about to be reduced to close. The door is self-admiring, but it is not particularly conservative in this respect. After all, the degree of social conservatism is directly proportional to the size of the country.

So he changed the subject immediately: "It's a pity, either of you should be nominated for a best supporting actor."

"It's okay, I already have a statuette for a supporting actor, Russell is the real pity." Spacey said and patted Crowe on the shoulder, "He played a rough male policeman perfectly in the movie, With Catherine is that famous Disney cartoon."

These serious words immediately amused all the people in front of him, and it goes without saying that there is no other animation that is more suitable than "Beauty and the Beast".

"I have to say, Kevin, your description is very accurate." Adrian said with a smile, and then patted Crowe's shoulder: "Don't worry, Russell, if it doesn't work this time, there will be a next time."

"Yes." Crowe nodded. You must know that after meeting Adrian, he was nominated for the best actor in his first movie. Since then, he has always been respectful in front of Adrian. Do not believe.

"But it's indeed a pity. It would be so interesting if you and Zeta Jones were nominated for Best Supporting Actor and Actor, and even won awards together," Adrian said, smiling and looking at the Silent Zeta-Jones, "Are you right, Kate?"

"Of course, it would be even better if Rui Fan could also get the best actor." Zeta-Jones smiled slightly, "But I don't have too much hope for myself."

"Oh?" Adrian raised his eyebrows.

"You taught me, Ed," Zeta-Jones shrugged, keeping his eyes on him all the time, hiding the slight resentment in his tone, "You taught me a lot."

"I'm glad you remember, Kate." Adrian nodded with a smile, and quickly glanced at the other three men. Sure enough, a very smart woman, but... will it be useful?

"Everyone will have a chance, don't worry." He said so immediately, and then beckoned them to continue walking inside, "Let's go in first, today is quite important."

He didn't talk about this topic again along the way, Adrian took this opportunity to ask Rui Fan about Dennis' situation. Halfway through the filming of Adrian's "Mulholland Drive", David Fincher's "Fight Club" also officially started filming, and the three main roles were played by Rui Fan, Dennis and Winona.

As I said before, Winona didn't know why, she agreed immediately after receiving the invitation. Then, Adrian's prediction was right, Dennis's backyard was finally frozen, and Aniston had to take the initiative to end the cold war after learning that Dennis was going to star in a movie with Winona, but the relationship between the two The petty disputes between them continued.

For example, she can't stop Winona from taking over "Fight Club", she just needs to persuade Dennis to reject it, but this movie was named by Adrian for him to star in, how could he reject it? But the advantage of this is that Aniston's attention is on Dennis, and the atmosphere on the set of "Friends" has eased a lot.

During the past few months, the relationship between the three heroines can only be described as weird. They were basically involved in it during filming, but they hardly spoke to each other during the break. According to the staff present, Lisa Kudrow and Courteney Cox seemed to be... a little afraid of Jennifer Aniston, and Lisa and Courteney were always awkward.

The three male protagonists have been trying to solve them, but with little success, after all, they don't know what happened, even if they ask, they will only be dismissed by "you don't understand". Except for the four parties involved, only Adrian knew the ins and outs, but he couldn't say anything, so he had to pretend that he didn't know anything, and waited for things to develop on their own.

And after a limited reconciliation with Dennis, and started to quarrel over some minor issues, the relationship between the three heroines eased a lot. Although they couldn't say a few words to each other, they finally smiled. Once the dissatisfaction is vented, the conflict will naturally ease. When Adrian suggested inviting Winona to star in "Fight Club", he might have considered this aspect.

As for the little girlfriend Jordana that Dennis "hooked" later, after learning that he and Aniston had reconciled and were engaged before that, she slapped him angrily and left. I hope it won't affect her future, and she will be reduced to the same result as those two women by the wings of a butterfly—this is of course impossible, because Jordana's family background is much better than those two.

As for Dennis, he was slapped by Jordana and was in a daze. He had to deal with the relationship with his ex-girlfriend on the set and was busy trying to please his fiancée, so he simply gave up participating in this Oscar and stayed at home to be with Annie wholeheartedly. ston.

"It's... funny, Jenny comes to visit a lot and likes to have intimate conversations with Dan in front of...everyone. When she's not here, Dan and Nori sit in chairs and watch each other without saying a word, Dan. Dave is basically downcast, while Noni is holding her arms and seems unwilling and a little angry and sad, so that David often complains in private that he shouldn’t agree to you to use Noni as a supporting actress.” Rui Fan described the scene on the set The corners of Shi Shi's mouth kept twitching, as if it took a lot of effort to keep himself from laughing. Even Rui Fan, who is the calmest among the three Phoenix brothers, can become like this. One can imagine how...inexplicable these two guys are on the set, and it can also be deduced how worried Aniston is.

Rui Fan then added: "But they did a great job during the filming, David was just talking."

Adrian didn't care about these things. In addition to the considerations mentioned above, he recommended Winona because she was seeking transformation and her acting skills have always been good. He is not such a casual person. Well, let’s leave it at that. Dennis’s affairs should be left to him. It’s his loss if he doesn’t come. There are not many people who can witness the birth of the miracle at the scene.

Thinking of this, Adrian walked into the place where the award ceremony was held this year-the Temple Theater in Los Angeles. . ..
