King of Hollywood

Chapter 114: One Game Left

\u003e Although the premiere of "A Beautiful Mind" was also considered to be star-studded, one of the male and female protagonists was the Oscar winner at the beginning of this year, and the other was the prospective actress who was nominated for the best actress for several years but lost every time because of luck. A lot of guests, but still can't compare with "X-Men" and "Lord of the Rings". After all, the investment of these two films alone exceeded 100 million yuan, and "A Beautiful Mind" plus the promotional expenses was only close to this figure, so the scale of the premiere naturally had to be a little smaller.

Even so, there is not much difference, the scene is still lively, even Spielberg is here, the film has DreamWorks investment, and Gwyneth is his goddaughter after all. Of course, that wasn't his main purpose, and in previous discussions of verbally assigning Marvel's superheroes, DreamWorks didn't get a single one.

When DreamWorks was founded, it was indeed very prosperous, but as time went by, the prospects became less and less optimistic. Several major film companies didn't like them very much, and they kept running on them in various aspects such as distribution channels. Although this situation has improved after the media acquired Universal Pictures, it is still very limited. Universal still needs to be consistent with others, just like the principle of unanimity among major powers in world politics.

Coupled with the fact that the Big Three were ambitious, the spread was too large at the beginning, and Adrian took away many good movies that originally belonged to them, so even if every movie of Spielberg can be a blockbuster, it will not be relieved. The DreamWorks Dilemma. So once there is a huge loss, it will make this already bad situation worse, such as the release of "Pearl Harbor" directed by Michael Bay this summer.

Michael Bay finally failed to escape the ending of parting ways with Bruckheimer. After all, a director who does not want to have the final editing rights is not a good director. It's just that he really wasn't suited to be a producer while directing, a mistake the original "Pearl Harbor" made. Now in this version, everyone who does not fall has committed a crime. You know, even if the same director directs the same theme, there may be many different places, make some mistakes that have not been made, or create some classic scenes that have not been done before, but Michael Bay just did it, except In addition to the amazing perspective of the spiral bomb, other aspects are still horrible.

Adrian reminded DreamWorks. Michael Bay is not suitable for war movies, and it is a war movie with a lot of love. If he is really going to direct, it is best to let an experienced producer supervise it. It's a pity that DreamWorks didn't listen to it. Fortunately, Kate didn't play the role, and Adrian had already arranged everything for her. Going to be the heroine in such a movie will only make yourself criticized. So it's Amy Adams who gets the current version of the heroine, who is sadly not as good as Kate - critics think she's a bit redundant in this movie.

The topic returned to DreamWorks. After suffering such a heavy blow, they had to hope to get some help from Adrian. Anyway, he is also a shareholder of DreamWorks-the part originally held by the media has been completely traded to Adrian. Given the popularity of Marvel's superheroes, a piece of the action would certainly ease the situation, and Spielberg and Adrian are close friends. It was only fitting for him to come forward.

"Don't worry, Steven, although there are many superheroes in Marvel, there are only a few popular ones. After so many years, the most popular ones are still Superman and Batman, so why bother to fight with them, if you really If you are interested in superheroes, you might as well watch it in a few years. Then you will find out what kind of superheroes are popular." Adrian said with a smile.

Then he comforted him again: "Don't worry, Steven. I'll leave the best for you, and don't watch "A Beautiful Mind" is a literary film. But I believe it will be very popular. And we also We have cooperated with "The Bourne", this series will also be very good, besides, "Shrek" you launched at the beginning of the year is also very popular, Katzenberg has a good skill in animation, why not carry it forward?"

Now that he has stated his position in this way, Spielberg can't say much for the time being. They didn't listen to Adrian's suggestion last time. As a result, "Pearl Harbor" encountered Waterloo, and the same mistake must not be made again. So the next time was spent greeting the guests who attended the premiere, and Adrian introduced Dakota to him by the way.

"This is Hannah Dakota Fanning, a very talented little girl, I am very optimistic about her future." Adrian said, "I had already planned to find other little girls to play the role of "A Beautiful Mind" Nash’s hallucination roommate’s niece, but she’s doing really well in another movie, I’m Sam, which will be showing at the end of this month, so I chose her after careful consideration.”

It can be heard from the words that he loves this little girl very much, so Spielberg extended his hand to Dakota very formally: "Nice to meet you, Dakota."

"I'm also glad to meet you, Mr. Director." Dakota shook his blue eyes with a smile and shook hands with him. He respected him but didn't mean much admiration, and he always stood by Adrian's side.

Adrian's statement is only half correct. He did want to find other child actors to play this role at first, but out of consideration for Dakota's prospects, although she performed very well in "I Am Sam". Excellent, but this movie is still too niche to cause a great response, so it is necessary to give her a weighty role in a work that can compete for Best Picture at the Oscar.

Facts have proved that she deserves to be picked up by herself, very smart little girl.

Then it's time for the official screening. Whether it's Russell Crowe, Gwyneth, or Ed Harris, all of them have shown their due standards. Nash's poor communication in the early stage but inadvertent romance, the stubbornness, rage and madness in the later stage, Alicia's strength and tolerance, and the chattering and persistent pursuit of the fictional fantasy character William Parcher are all taken by the audience. They interpreted it very well.

Adrian couldn't help sighing, with Gwyneth's acting skills now, if she takes the statuette, she will never get the title of the best actress who is not worthy of the name. Unfortunately……

Ron Howard has a precise grasp of the rhythm, although the front is a little slower. Nash's college life was a little bit more written, but it was basically smooth after Alicia's official appearance. He met each other, got married, and had a child. Alicia waited for her husband firmly, and finally woke him up from his fantasy, and the rhythm was very good.

The most sensational is two aspects. After Nash came out of the mental hospital, he fell ill again, and even wanted to hurt his wife and children. Finally, Alicia, who couldn't stand it anymore, rushed into the rain with her children and wanted to leave the house. . Just at this time. Nash finally took the initiative to discover evidence that he was indeed fantasizing. He also rushed out, blocking in front of the car his wife was about to leave.

"She...she hasn't grown up..." In the pouring rain, Nash, who was soaked all over, stammered to his wife in the car in front of the car.

Yes, until now, he finally discovered that after so many years, his roommate's little niece has never grown up. In torrential rain. The drenched man stood in front of the car timidly, resolutely and pleadingly, instantly hit the softest part of his wife's heart, and at the same time hit the softest part of the audience's heart, and the emotions accumulated before were also shaken. A degree of catharsis: he finally got it!

Don't underestimate this exclamation. The previous plots have been creating a feeling that Nash's illness is getting worse, and he is becoming more and more irritable and dangerous, which will greatly reduce the audience's appetite. At this time, news is especially important to deal with. Whether it has not reached the peak or exceeded the peak to vent, the effect will be greatly reduced. And at this moment the audience's exclamation showed. They have firmly remembered this shot, which is the best compliment to Howard.

The second place is that Nash has finally recovered most of his sanity. He was able to communicate and discuss with the students at first, and finally won the Nobel Prize. Then, the professors in the restaurant stood up one after another and put their pens on the table in front of him one by one, expressing in this way Kudos to him.

Although this scene is not as strong as the emotion in the rain, the shock and excitement are not inferior to the previous one, as if after experiencing countless storms, I finally saw a brilliant rainbow. At the same time that the emotions were completely vented, that kind of touch made people unable to hold back, and it was once again deeply engraved in the minds of the audience.

So, when the movie ended and the lights came on, there was a round of applause in the auditorium.

So, Spielberg admitted: "It's a very, very good movie."

Therefore, the media also praised it unceasingly: "A pretty perfect movie, Russell Crowe plays the extended game theory of the last century, John Nash, a mathematical genius who proposed Nash equilibrium, he went crazy because of hereditary schizophrenia, but In the 1980s, it turned miraculously for the better, and finally won the Nobel Prize in Brokerage in 1994. Russell captured the character's character traits brilliantly, and expressed them with superb opinions. Gwyneth played the role of Alicia, the wife who has been by Nash's side all the time, no matter how serious Nash's condition is, she will never leave him and embrace him with her strength. It is this great love that makes Nash finally come out of the fantasy world , this is Gwyneth's best role of the year, a convincing performance that makes the whole movie so much better!"

So, three days after it was screened in 800 theaters, "A Beautiful Mind" won a box office of 9 million in North America, which is already a remarkable achievement for an art film.

There is no need to talk about other aspects, such as the tepid confrontation between Adrian and the old Paltrow at the premiere, the smiling Adrian has always been very good. Of course, Gwyneth was unlucky because of this, leading Blanchett and Liv to play her to the brink of collapse the night after the premiere.

And Adrian's tour of the premiere is still not over. As Christmas approaches, there is one last grand premiere waiting for him.

There was a knock on the door, but there was no response in the dark room for a long time. Then, the knock on the door became louder, and at the same time there was a cry: "It's time to get up, sir, your time is running out."

Adrian yawned, and finally woke up. After answering aloud, he opened his eyes and looked at the head of the bed. The fluorescent electronic alarm clock was showing the time, and it was already 3:30. With a grunt, he was about to sit up. Then there were a few vague voices from both sides, and the two warm words that had been leaning on his body also twisted a bit.

"Okay. Babies, it's time to get up, it's time." Adrian yawned, turned on the bedside lamp, and reached out and slapped their buttocks twice through the thin quilt.

"What's wrong?" Gree Sobieski on the right opened a gap, looking a little dazed, while Eliza Cuthbert on the left didn't even intend to wake up. He also hugged Adrian's waist tightly.

"Hey, babies, although I know it's hard to be jet-lagged, it's time to get up now, and I can't sleep well." Adrian continued to pat them while yawning, until they woke up unwillingly. . I got out of bed, put on my pajamas and went to open the door.

"Sorry, baby, I kept you waiting." Adrian said jokingly, looking at Ellie Larter in a stewardess uniform outside.

After getting Eliza and Geri to bed, he called the four stewardesses on his private jet babes, and they didn't hate the title.

"I thought you were going to continue." Ellie kept her smile, but her eyes narrowed slightly, and the door of Adrian's room was wide open. She could clearly see Eliza and Geli stretching their waists and nude on the bed, as well as the stewardess uniforms and women's underwear thrown all over the floor, which made her somewhat unhappy.

However, after all, Ellie has worked on this plane for a few years, and she is used to the style around Adrian, and he treats her well. Immediately adjusted his mentality: "You still have an hour to an hour and thirty minutes to clean up, and the sunshine outside is just right. It is rare for London to return to the sun."

"Really, it's really rare." Adrian poked his head out. Sure enough, the sun came in through the window. Although not as bright and lively as Los Angeles, it is still sunshine anyway.

"And what about the costume I need?" he asked again.

"On the way, we will arrive at the airport in about 20 minutes. We have already communicated with the airport, and they will come directly to the plane." Ellie replied. Under normal circumstances, if his secretary is not with him, these things have to be done. She, the cockpit chief, is in charge, and to be honest, she likes the feeling of being in control.

"20 minutes? It seems there is still time," Adrian touched his chin, "Okay, I see, thank you, Ellie."

After he finished speaking with a smile, he leaned over and kissed the corner of her mouth, then blinked: "Do you want to come together?"

"No, it's not necessary." Ellie rolled her eyes, and she knew what she wanted to do by looking at him, so she refused to come down, and didn't give him a chance to pull herself in, turned around and walked quickly to the lower floor.

"Priyaka, I'm going to receive the person who brought the clothes. Ed won't come down in a while." Ellie called the other flight attendant who was left to order.

"What's wrong? He still doesn't want to wake up? This is not good." Priyanka was a little surprised.

"No, he just thought of a better way to wake himself up." Ellie shrugged. She had a normal relationship with Elisa and Geli, but she got along well with Priyanka, knowing that she was out of habit .

Before becoming a flight attendant on Adrian's private jet and his bed partner, Priyanka was a medical student and doing well.

"A way to make yourself more sober?" Priyanka was puzzled.

"If you want, you can help." Ellie's smile was meaningful.

Priyanka finally came to her senses, coughed dryly and said "I'll get ready" and walked away. Ellie smiled and shook her head, and then walked away too. As for the above——

"How do you feel, isn't it much better?" Adrian was playing with two beautiful girls under the shower head of the bathroom, under the splashing water.

"This jet lag is the worst one ever," Eliza muttered, wiping her cheeks.

"Are you blaming me, Eliza?" Adrian asked pretending to be serious. "It's too much to blame me? If so, I apologize."

"Oh, Eliza is scared." Gree, who hugged Adrian from behind, and then splashed on Adrian's chest, giggled.

"I'm afraid?" Eliza suddenly showed a dissatisfied look, sneered, and then she suddenly stuck to Geli's body, hugged her belly from the side, and opened her mouth to bite her earball, "That's just yours." conjecture."

Geli, who knew what she wanted to do, was about to struggle, but Adrian turned around and hugged her at this moment, unable to move for a moment. Of course, Geli didn't really want to struggle, she gave Adrian a charming look while drenched in water, and a big battle started again in the bathroom of the airplane bedroom.

The two girls are very young, and they work on Adrian's luxury private jet, plus all kinds of influences, such as Adrian and Ellie and Priyanka and her female secretaries and various female secrets, so With great difficulty, he carried her to bed one after another. Also because of this, the fun-loving women easily accepted threesomes.

Today Adrian kept having sex with them on the plane, and he was supposed to come a day earlier, but was delayed due to certain things, so he arrived in London near the time. I simply communicated with the airport, rested on the plane to adjust the jet lag, and took them to have fun in the bedroom, but unfortunately I couldn't bring Ellie and Priyanka in together.

Although it is not difficult to bring in, Ellie definitely doesn't care, even if she hasn't tried to have sex with them, it will take time to get Priyanka. And they all came together, who will take care of things on the plane? So I finally gave up on this idea, but it doesn't matter, anyway, he invited them to visit his manor after the matter is over, when the time comes...

The Second World War didn't take much time. After all, there was still time. It was just that when the refreshed Adrian appeared in the eyes of others, Eliza and Geli were still lying down and resting tiredly in the bedroom.

Next, after the professionals who came to the airport carefully packed him up, Adrian waited in his car and drove to Trafalgar Square, where "Harry Potter" The premiere of "With the Sorcerer's Stone" is about to begin. (To be continued..)
