King of Hollywood

\u003e Chapter Eighty-Three The First

There are many people standing in the front hall of the auditorium, actors, directors, producers, everything. This is a good place to chat. Outside, entertainment reporters are usually scruples, but inside, they have to go to their own positions, so many people pause here After a few minutes of greeting and chatting with acquaintances, Adrian came in and saw Sarah, Nicole and Naomi, Julia and Monica standing in different positions. {Rainbow Literature Network a i h o n G we n x u o m}

This is a natural thing. Although there are no reporters here, some things need to be covered up a little bit. It is one thing for others to guess, but it is another thing to prove it with your own eyes. Just like the US military treats homosexuals in the military, no one reports It’s okay to play a sex party, if someone reports it, you can only let him go—this metaphor is not so appropriate, and it is a little bit ridiculous, but some things are essentially the same.

After handing little Emma to Julia and talking to Monica, Adrian immediately went to find Nicole and the others. As I said before, basically every woman has been well-dressed. But she was wearing a white evening dress with sloping shoulders, her reddish golden hair was coiled behind her head, and a pearl necklace was worn on her white gooseneck, which gave her a kind of noble temperament. Naomi is wearing a sapphire blue evening dress with sleeves, with a pair of diamond earrings hanging on her ears. Standing next to Nicole, she looks quite petite, but at the same time she is gentle and pleasant, and she can't help but want to care for her .

The most interesting thing is that the two women are very different in height, but standing together they seem to be a good match, a kind of complementary taste. There is no doubt that this is the credit of Adrian. After getting along for a long time and doing certain things together for a long time, it is very normal for this to happen.

Sarah is wearing a pink thin-shouldered V-neck dress, specially dyed her hair with big golden waves, and the almost 7-inch heels make her more tall and straight, and also more protruding and backward, which is extraordinarily charming. Although she has chosen to ignore the women around Adrian and has been getting along well with Kate and Charlize, it doesn't mean she doesn't have a competitive heart.

Adrian didn't talk to them too much. He chatted with Nicole about "Moulin Rouge" which is still being filmed, and talked with Naomi and Sarah about their movies this year. "Transparent Man" starring Naomi will be released in the summer vacation. Although it is almost a year late, I believe the impact will not be too great. The movie is still in place as a sci-fi thriller.

In addition, the heroine of "I Am Sam" also fell into the hands of Naomi. Dennis originally wanted to recommend his wife, but it was rejected by Adrian. From "Midnight Ringer" to "Behind the Lie" and now "Transparent Man", Naomi has performed very well in thriller movies, and the word-of-mouth from film critics is not bad, but she can't always make thriller movies .

The first part of "The Lord of the Rings" has been completed and can only be released at the end of the year, Peter? Jackson is busy with the remaining two films. It is estimated that in the second half of the year, he will start to hope that Adrian will invest in "King Kong". The heroine must be Naomi's. But if you want to make an impression at the film school, you can't rely on thrillers, although next year he has a good movie for her, and let her practice singing and dancing like Nicole, but one is not enough , and the transition is a bit abrupt, so first use "I am Sam" to change people's impressions.

In comparison, Sarah is much more relaxed. She has little interest in Oscars, and the movies are much easier to arrange, so apart from "Buffy the Vampire Slayer", she only has one "Love to Alaba" that is in production this year. horse". This is a romantic comedy. Since she doesn't care about those awards, then Adrian will make her a new generation of American sweethearts. Don't think that romantic comedy doesn't need acting skills. The simplest example is Julia The Five Parts of Love. Adrian also said before that the plot of this movie is very clichéd, and Sarah needs to give full play to her acting skills to attract the audience.

The guests attending the award ceremony kept coming in and walking in. Julia, Nicole and the others also went in, but Adrian stayed in the front hall, greeting many acquaintances and friends, such as Spielberg, such as Sol De Berg, like Ron? Meyer, like the Weinstein brothers and so on.

"If you have time in the second half of the year, maybe we can discuss cooperating with a big production." After catching Cameron, Adrian talked about another topic.

"Oh? What kind of subject matter do you need to tell me at this time?" Cameron became interested.

"Because I like it very much, but in comparison, you are obviously better at shooting the thickness and beauty of machinery, so it must be the most suitable for you to direct and produce." Adrian said seriously.

"Thank you, I'm glad to hear your praise, Ed." Cameron became more interested, but suddenly changed the topic: "But I already have plans for the second half of the year, and I want to make a documentary for the battleship Bismarck. "

"It's okay, I have enough time to wait for you to finish your documentary, and I have enough funds for you to burn it." Adrian spread his hands.

He has said so, what else can Cameron say?

In addition to acquaintances and friends, other women are also the main reason for Adrian to stay in the front hall, such as Zeta Jones, Gwyneth, and Lin Chiling. Zeta Jones, who is also in a black evening dress, may be slightly inferior to Julia in terms of temperament, but surpasses a lot in terms of sex appeal. Gwyneth and Lin Chiling are both wearing cheongsams, but Gwyneth's is not standard, just borrowed from the style, Lin Chiling is a standard cheongsam, beige silk fabric, embroidered with large peonies, her The atmosphere is also considered to be just right.

Interestingly, Gwyneth's slit only goes past her knees, while Lin Chiling's slits go past two-thirds of her thighs. Coupled with her slender curves, she is no less seductive than other women.

"As I said, you are very attractive in this outfit." After Lin Chiling came in with Ang Lee and the other two leading actors of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", Adrian exchanged pleasantries with them and took time to talk to her said in a low voice.

Lin Chiling's smile suddenly became more charming. Although Adrian was stunned when Adrian said the next sentence in a low voice, she immediately nodded imperceptibly to indicate that there was no problem.

To his surprise, after waiting for a long time, Kate came in with Rachel, and they seemed to be having a good conversation. Thinking about it, they are all British, and they are only two years apart from each other, and they are both temperamental women. Although they have seen each other in various environments, they have not intersected. Good feelings are normal.

Of course, it was limited to this section of the red carpet. After seeing Adrian, Kate was fine, but Rachel habitually trembled and lowered her eyelids, while taking a small step back. Kate, who noticed it, was a little surprised, but didn't say much. She still knew the strange and deformed relationship between Adrian and Rachel, and it was because of some sympathy that she met Rachel on the red carpet. Say it together.

Adrian also didn't say much to them, that is, their respective upcoming movies this year, Kate's "Tomb Raider" or Rachel's "The Mummy 2" and - "Bj's Single Diary". He told her last year that the film adapted from the British novel that needed her to gain weight was Helen? Fielding's "Bj's Single Diary"

Rachel is currently staying in the crew of "Bj's Single Diary", so she looks quite rich at the moment, but a woman with temperament has an advantage in this regard, as long as she is good at controlling her demeanor, except for the sex point , there is not much difference in peacetime.

But what Adrian was talking about with her was not "Bj's Single Diary".

"You should have read the script, how do you feel?" When Adrian asked, Rachel had an obvious trembling movement, and her white teeth bit her lips.

"...It's okay." She finally said something vaguely.

Adrian wanted to force her again, and it was a pleasure to see her tangled up, but Kate didn't go very far, and even glanced at him, so in the end, he could only let Rachel go temporarily. What a pity if...

Shaking his head, the thought disappeared immediately. Anyway, there will be opportunities in the future. Adrian then turned his gaze to the entrance of the front hall. There was another reason for letting Rachel go temporarily. The person he was waiting for finally came in.

"I thought you weren't going to come in." Looking at Natalie's face, he said in a teasing tone.

"I just want to be a little later." Although she couldn't help but flashed a hint of disappointment when she saw him, Natalie still said in a calm tone, obviously she had such a psychological preparation.

"Besides, it can make your explanation more convincing, can't it?" She said again immediately.

Adrian couldn't help laughing, as expected of Natalie, she could use this as a reason for not wanting to talk to him - Adrian promised that she would not let the media speculate about their relationship for a long time Therefore, she can't have too much intimate contact in public, so she didn't talk to him on the red carpet outside, so she entered the front hall so late.

She spoke so grandly and so confidently, she obviously took everything into consideration, which is really smart.

"How do you feel, stepping on the Oscars red carpet for the first time?" Adrian asked with a smile, regardless of this.

"It's... not bad." After opening her mouth a few times, Natalie took a deep breath and gave the answer.

"It's good." Adrian looked at the time and then glanced around. Although there were still quite a few people, there were a lot fewer people than when he came in.

"Let's go in together, the awards ceremony is about to begin." Adrian made a gesture of invitation.

The two walked inside side by side. The hall was full of low voices at the moment, and the lights above the stage were dim, but two tall statuettes for decoration stood on both sides to form a semi-closed movable platform. stage.

Adrian didn't say a word along the way, and although Natalie remained calm, her pursed lips from time to time betrayed her heart. Obviously, his reaction was not what she expected.

It wasn't until he was almost at the location of the "Winter's Bone" crew that Adrian suddenly said, "Don't worry, Nada."

He looked into her eyes, with a hint of amusement in his smile: "You will come to this place as many times as you want."

After finishing speaking, without giving Natalie any time to react, she walked forward and went straight to the "Never Compromise" crew next to the "Winter's Bone" crew, and found her seat to sit down.

"What are you talking to Natalie about?" Julia's voice rang in her ears, and she glanced over there, "She doesn't seem very happy."

"That's because I told her that she's out of action tonight, and the best actress is yours." Adrian shrugged.

"You're lying to me again, Ed." Although Julia said this, her eyes couldn't help but bend. No matter what, she could hear him say that, even if it might be a lie, she still couldn't help feeling happy.

"Tell me, Ed, what is your relationship with that girl?" she asked suddenly.

No wonder, the women around him know that most of the women who have a good relationship with him have slept with him. The tabloids said that all the heroines used by Director Miracle have slept with him. The women who played the heroines in his movies were all tied to him by various means, and Julia herself was an example. However, Adrian has always respected his women. Even though he likes to play tricks on the bed, even though he likes to manipulate them, he never forces them. He's not an idiot, how could he be tied down by his profit alone.

But between Adrian and Natalie, Julia couldn't see this, although it was only on the red carpet of this year's Oscars that she had the opportunity to take a close look at this one who is qualified to compete with her for the best award in the media's mouth. The girl who is the best heroine, but she is confident that her vision will not go wrong. This is a very strange thing, at least Julia absolutely does not believe that she and Adrian have not slept, but the two seem to be always testing each other, which makes people curious.

"What kind of relationship do you think is the relationship." Adrian replied.

Natalie is indeed very smart, and she has been with him for several years, and her understanding of him is not inferior to that of Kate and Charlize, so she naturally knows how to deal with his little hands and feet that he can tolerate. However, the initiative is not so easy to get. She knows him, but it doesn't mean she knows him completely, and he knows her far better than she knows him. Has she thought about how to fight back? Then he didn't say a word and let her be suspicious.

More importantly, if Adrian is upset and feels that the situation is in Natalie's favor, he just flips the table. What can she do in this situation? Simply put, Natalie is like Don Quixote who charged at the windmill, and everything he did was in vain. Maybe she knows, maybe she doesn't know, it doesn't matter, Adrian will be very satisfied every time she sees her plan fail, she is always spinning in his palm.

Seeing that Adrian didn't intend to explain, Julia didn't continue to ask, but turned her attention to the stage. Just in time, the awards ceremony began.

"Welcome to the Holy Auditorium, welcome to the 73rd Academy Awards ceremony, it's the 73rd, not the 72nd and not the 74th, please keep this in mind when reporting." White-haired Steve? When Martin stepped onto the stage, he opened his mouth and caused a lot of laughter.

Last year, when a reporter reported the news of the 72nd Oscars, they used the words 73rd from the beginning to the end of the awards ceremony, and did not correct it until the final summary. If you think this is weird, you are wrong, because there is another guy who wrote the 71st class. God, it is understandable if one class is added because of careless calculations. People always like to add numbers, but What kind of head pumping must be done to count as missing a class?

So Martin used this to tease him as soon as he came on stage, successfully attracting people's attention, but his subsequent performance was not very good. Steve? Martin is 55 years old and is a well-known comedian in Hollywood. Currently, the most famous one is ten years ago and Nancy? "The New Father-in-Law" with Meyers. In Hollywood, there are many stories about the conflict between the son-in-law and the father-in-law, such as "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner" in the 1960s or "Meet the Father-in-law" last year.

In a way, "Meet Your Father-in-Law" can even be regarded as a reprint of "New Father-in-Law". Of course, as before, Adrian got the script early and handed it to New Line for production. Stiller also recruited, adding gold? Carey and Adam? Sandler, at least half of Hollywood's current comedians are in the hands of Adrian.

So, in that regard, the film school chose Steve? It is not a good idea for Martin to serve as the host of this year's Oscars. First, although he is still active in comedy, he is not as popular as young people after all; second, his comedy style does not match the Oscars. Adrian also understands what the film school does, Billy? Although Christo is excellent, he always appears on the Oscars, and sooner or later the audience will experience aesthetic fatigue.

It's a pity that it would be risky to replace someone who has never presided over the Oscars to take up this position. Just like the current Martin, sometimes it can make people laugh, but sometimes it makes people feel boring and boring. But fortunately, the Film Academy has also considered the possibility of this situation, so it has prepared some gimmicks.

"Every leading role is excellent, but it also needs an equally good supporting role, so we should also applaud the best supporting role." Martin said so on stage. There is no doubt that the first award presented is the best supporting actress!

Although in many Oscars, the two best supporting actor awards are awarded first, but this is not the rule of the film academy, so how to arrange it depends on the specific situation. The best supporting actress is placed in the first position like now, in order to attract attention, the five films come from the same media group, and the five nominees are all related to the same person. After the list came out, it has been hyped countless times by the media. I believe many people want to know who the winner of Best Supporting Actress is. How could the film school let go of such a good opportunity?

Facts have proved that their calculations were successful. After Martin's announcement, the hall, which was still buzzing with low discussions, fell completely silent, and all eyes turned to the stage.
