King of Hollywood

"To sum up, three-quarters of the best actress crown is in your hands. We just need to maintain our current advantage." Sitting on the sofa by the floor-to-ceiling windows, Adrian Under the winter sun, he said lazily while stroking Gwyneth's golden hair that was nestled against him.

"Is that all?" Gwyneth pouted, a little dissatisfied and coquettish.

"Then what are you going to do?" Adrian showed an exaggerated expression, "You know, Kate didn't have this kind of treatment back then."

Blanchett, lying on a couch with a book, glanced up at them, then shrugged.

"It's been very difficult for Liv to be nominated for a long time, let alone this kind of treatment." Then he looked at the chair sitting closer to the French window, and he was hugging Eleanor and making her giggle Laughing Liv.

"Oh, Eleanor, your father is bullying me again," Liv immediately pouted and complained to the little guy, "He obviously refused to give me a chance, but he used the excuse that I don't have talent." Prevaricate me."

"Daddy is a villain." The little guy opened her beautiful blue eyes, and said the words she learned from her sister in a very serious and childlike voice, Liv and Gwyneth both burst out laughing , especially Liv, who kissed Eleanor's fleshy cheeks hard and yelled that she had spoken so well.

As for Blanchett, although she didn't make a sound and the open book blocked her expression, she could tell her reaction from the slightly trembling hands.

"Okay. I should stop Lily from instilling some bad information to her sister." Adrian sighed helplessly, and then his ears turned cold.

"Ed—" Gwyneth, who was biting his ear, continued to act coquettishly, "You said that you want me to be on the podium in style."

"Isn't it beautiful now?" Adrian asked with a smile, but seeing her showing a resentful look, he stopped teasing, "Don't worry, Gwynnie, you will understand when the list of nominations comes out. of."

He couldn't put it down holding her chin, ever since old Paltrow passed away. Already very obedient, Gwyneth has completely become his property, basically Adrian can play as he wants. Of course, Gwyneth also knew how to keep Adrian fresh to herself, so she didn't agree to many things at once, and she always pushed back and forth until she teased him enough before letting go.

This is very good, both sentimental and interesting, and it is worthwhile for Adrian to spend so much effort.

"I'm sure. Kate should have guessed something, but she probably didn't fully guess it..." Adrian looked at Blanchett at this moment, "So even if I tell you, it's just a discounted surprise .”

"Don't worry, Ed," Blanchett put down the book in his hand and gave Adrian a blank look. "I won't tell her."

"Okay, okay, just wait," Gwyneth sighed, then giggled and wrapped her arms around his neck, "Since you're so sure. Why don't we...have a baby first? "

Hearing this proposal, Adrian raised his eyebrows: "No problem, if you can walk the red carpet with a big belly regardless of other people's eyes, we can even start work tonight."

"I knew it." Gwyneth stuck out her tongue and didn't mention it again. She said that she just wanted to remind Adrian.

"Don't worry. Two to three months will pass soon." Adrian laughed immediately, then walked up to Liv and took Eleanor over, then reached out and pinched the youngest daughter's face : "You know, Eleanor, you're going to have a brother or sister soon."

"Low? Mimi?" The little guy mumbled words, staring at his father's nose without blinking, as if it was more attractive to her.

"By the way, Liv. You like children so much, why not..." After kissing his daughter, Adrian suddenly thought of something, looked at Liv and asked half-jokingly.

"I won't do it," Liv pursed her lips and snorted, "There is Eleanor, there is Lily, there is Diva, Juliet, there is Mary, there will definitely be more in the future, why do I have to have child?"

Well, that's it, you can tell from her childish appearance that even if she is pregnant now, she still won't be ready to be a mother. Adrian smiled, and was about to continue to say a few more words, but a second later he yelled, and the mischievous Eleanor giggled and reached out to grab his nose.

The laughter of several women suddenly sounded again, and the villa where Blanchett, Gwyneth, and Liv lived together was full of joy and harmony.

Back to the movies, no matter how highly rated "Devil" and Gwyneth have received, and Gwyneth is likely to have locked this year's Oscar for Best Actress, this is only a small film after all. Low-cost literary and artistic movies will be screened in hundreds of theaters at most before December passes, which is completely insignificant compared with those commercial blockbusters that cost thousands of theaters.

Not long after the release of "The Devil", "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets", which many people are looking forward to, also premiered in Britain and the United States at the same time. Of course, the premiere cannot be outside the UK.

Adrian is sure to be in too, even though Christmas is so close and movies like The Lord of the Rings, Chicago, The Hours are all lined up for release, and filming of La Vie en Rose It is still going on, and "Julie and Julia", which has already started, also needs to be supervised at any time, but the time to go to London can still be spared.

More importantly, unless there are some irresistible human factors, if you don't attend the premiere of Little Emma's movie, then you will suffer.

It was raining lightly in London on the day of the premiere, but this could not stop the enthusiasm of the fans. The scene was bigger than last year. After the release of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone", the enthusiasm of book fans and movie fans was fully released. . And the whole series has thus firmly established the status of classics, so it is no wonder that this will happen this year.

Compared with fans and reporters who can wear thick clothes and hold umbrellas, actors are much more miserable, especially actresses, in order to show their charm, they have to wear clothes with little fabric on the red carpet in winter, and they have to pose in various poses Take pictures for reporters. Fortunately, the road from the entrance to the theater is not far away. If you persist a little bit, as long as you don't get dragged by the reporters to ask endless questions, you will basically be fine.

"I really don't know what those guys are thinking. It's cold." Little Emma, ​​who had been treated like this, entered the theater and complained in front of Adrian.

After learning about the situation in detail, Adrian couldn't help laughing, because the evening dress has sleeves, not only does not show the back and shoulders, but even the arms are not exposed, so little Emma, ​​who is afraid of the cold, is covered with warm packs inside. But because there are too many stickers, it feels like falling down when you walk a little faster. It is not a fun thing to fall out of the warm pack on this occasion. She could only walk forward very slowly, so she was grabbed by reporters or fans and asked non-stop.

Of course, this kind of thing cannot be said in person now. Little Emma is depressed, and she with a little temper will not be reasonable at this time, so Adrian just smiled and comforted her.

Except for the director and actors of the second part. The director of the third film being filmed, Michael Newell, and some actors also attended the red carpet, including Liu Yufei. As the actor who plays Harry's first love, Zhang Qiu, and has officially entered the film crew for a period of time, she is also well-known in the UK. People in the school often ask her about the filming of the film. And asked her to help get some autographs, and the paparazzi would walk around the school from time to time, as if they were already a starlet, so there was no problem in attending the premiere of "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets".

"You did a good job, Feifei, keep smiling. You don't talk too much. There is no major problem with your manners, but you should be more bold and lively." After calling Liu Yufei to a corner where no one was in private, Adrian said Said.

"Well, I see." Liu Yufei nodded obediently.

Adrian laughed immediately: "Don't be so nervous, this is your first time walking the red carpet, it's normal to have these situations, and you will get used to it after walking a few more times."

Having said that, he paused. He stretched out his hand and pinched her chin, then glanced around from the corner of his eye, then leaned over and kissed her on the lips: "Besides, the time in London this time is very short, and there are other things , after you attend the premiere, the paparazzi will inevitably come to your door, so I will not go to your house, remember to tell your mother."

"Oh." Liu Yufei nodded, a look of disappointment naturally flashed across her face.

very good. Adrian, who saw everything in his eyes, said this in his heart. Thinking about it again, Liu Li is also very obedient now.

She originally wanted to accompany her daughter to the premiere. First, she was worried that her daughter would not adapt. After all, Liu Yufei's life has been taken care of by her for so many years. Second, she was worried that her daughter would be out of her control. Relying on such a daughter, she often visited the set during the filming before. In addition, I also wanted to have a good time in my heart, so I mentioned it in a roundabout way.

However, this request was rejected by Adrian, and he just let the director of the third film, Neville, take care of Liu Yufei when Liu Yufei walked the red carpet. As for Liu Li, she can run the gallery with peace of mind, don't you understand? Then learn! There are no completely useless women around him, and even Ji Li has gained countless fans with her pair of proud breasts, and she became very popular in "Super Heroes".

In the future, there will be more receptions for her to participate in. Instead of worrying about this, it is better to learn how to run a gallery while expanding your horizons. Probably because she suffered too much before, or because she just arrived here and Adrian ordered her to, she has always kept a low profile and met some wives nearby.

It's just that the petty bourgeois mentality still exists to some extent, and if you get in touch with it a lot, you will be seen through, and you will inevitably be looked down upon behind your back.

"If you really want to help your daughter, then pack up your image well." Adrian warned Liu Li.

She still has some skills, and if she repackages it and learns the skills and art of speaking, she will be able to attend various events in the future with more demeanor, and will not make some inappropriate words or sentences.

Regarding Adrian's proposal, although Liu Li hesitated for a while, she immediately agreed with a low eyebrow and pleasing to the eye. Basically, she also knows by now that she might lose control over her daughter. Fortunately, my daughter is still very dependent on me in life. Fortunately, I also... so she is very obedient.

Therefore, Adrian felt that the time had come, but it was a pity that he couldn't do it now. What he said to Liu Yufei was not an excuse to come to London to accompany little Emma? It was almost inconceivable that she started just after the movie was over.

"Do you still want to say that you have nothing to do with each other, Mr. Cowell?" Little Emma pulled Adrian and asked in a low voice, with a smirk on her little face, and her eyes kept glancing at Liu Yufei.

"Does it have anything to do with anyone?" Adrian asked madly.

"Don't hide it, I've seen it all. It's very clear!" Emma hummed and puffed up her chest. Adrian could only pretend to be deaf and dumb to avoid it.

Surprisingly, the little guy didn't chase after him fiercely, and he didn't mention it as if he forgot about it in the next few days, which made Adrian puzzled. She is not such a person, she must What other "conspiracy" is planning!

However, Adrian was careful for a few days. I didn't see any movement from little Emma, ​​but as usual, I dragged him around and avoided the paparazzi by the way-"Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" was unsurprisingly popular with fans after it was released, although the plot was different. It was deleted, but the major media still gave high marks. Similarly, several young actors have to make headlines on the entertainment page.

However, they are still children after all, no matter how arrogant the paparazzi are, they dare not treat them like adult stars, and Adrian has already learned how to deal with paparazzi. So when I was with little Emma, ​​I was not disturbed. So until he left, the little guy didn't do anything else, although he was still very naughty at times, but he was very measured.

In this case, Adrian can only conclude that the little guy has finally grown into a big girl, just. When you breathe a sigh of relief, you will inevitably feel a little lost.

After returning to Los Angeles, there was another premiere, first "Chicago" and then "Lord of the Rings 2". There are only 500 theaters in contact with a musical, and there is no conflict with "Lord of the Rings 2".

However, the premiere will still be held, and it is also a very popular musical on Broadway. Plus with Naomi and Zeta-Jones starring again, it was impossible for Adrian not to be there.

Needless to say the details, although the premiere of "Chicago" is not big, the scene is very lively, Naomi and Zeta Jones are all dressed up, murdering a lot of film on the red carpet, especially when Adri After Ann appeared, he held them one by one from left to right, and the sound of the shutter kept ringing even more. You must know that one is a miracle girl and the other is a quasi-miracle girl. Although both women have scandals from time to time, everyone knows that they have a close relationship with the director of miracle.

The premiere was a success. The three leading actors, Naomi, Zeta Jones and Clooney spent more than half a year practicing singing and dancing, and the director Rob Marshall also wrote and directed the stage play "Chicago", so they are very familiar with the production , so the dramatic tension and appeal of the film are not inferior to the stage play, and the timing of inserting songs and dances during the development of the plot is also very natural, so most film critics gave praise.

"Exquisite images, well-used tones, and eye-catching wonderful jazz dances make people feel like they are in Chicago in the 1970s."

"Everyone is brilliant, Catherine Zeta-Jones is hot, Naomi Watts is sweet and George Clooney is wily and, of course, scheming."

"Killed? It doesn't matter, as long as you dance well and have a good lawyer."

Amidst the numerous praises, the movie also got a box office of 10.78 million in the first week, which is already very good compared to the theaters where it was released. Miramax's marketing methods are really good. However, comments such as ""Chicago" is another excellent musical film after "Moulin Rouge", and musical films are about to usher in another revival" can be ignored. "Moulin Rouge" is largely musical films The rebound after hitting the bottom may continue to be mediocre like other genres in the future, and occasionally a high-quality film will come out, but it is almost impossible to get big hits.

This is just like "Pirates of the Caribbean", before which the pirate movie has come to an end, so this ingeniously added fantasy element and well-made movie has become a sought-after commercial masterpiece, and even developed into a series, however, Will there be any new pirate movies after this?

As good as "Chicago" was, with the premiere date looming for "Lord of the Rings 2," all eyes, hated or loved, were involuntarily cast on it. As early as when "The Matrix 2" was released, "The Lord of the Rings 2", which was involved in the controversy among movie fans, has begun to attract frequent attention, especially "The Matrix 2", which became the fourth part of the first week to break 100 million People are very interested in whether "The Lord of the Rings 2" can break through 100 million in the first week.

Then the silent "Devil" was revealed to be directed and produced by Adrian, which caused a storm, so that the ratio of the box office of this art film to the number of theaters released reached a fairly good height. Now, "The Lord of the Rings 2" is the third film released by the Marvel director at the end of the year, adding to the good results of "The Lord of the Rings 1" and Gwyneth as the female lead in "The Devil". There will be an important role in this movie, and the other two important female characters, the Elf Queen is one of the Miracle Girls, and the Elf Princess has also heard that she is not clear with Adrian, so people are naturally paying more attention stand up.

This is also helpful to the promotion of the movie, so the premiere of "Lord of the Rings 2" held on Christmas Eve is naturally extremely grand. (to be continued..)
