King of Hollywood Chapter 169: Odds

"Thank you, stop here." Following Roddick's words, Charlize stood up, slightly owed to the three people behind the long table, and then turned to the door.

After the door closing sounded, Adrian also stood up, greeted the two interviewers and walked out, making the two people who wanted to discuss with him face each other unclear.

"Hi, Miss Charlize, I really didn't expect that we would meet again in such a situation." Charlize, who came out of the Adrian sitting on the bench and packed things, said hello.

Charlize looked up at him and suddenly laughed, and Adrian looked at himself because he was unknown.

"Sorry, I just think... such dialogue should appear in the movie." Charlize said with a smile.

"So," Adrian gestured with one hand, "Should I draw a gun at you?"

"If you can get it." Charlize shrugged and followed up to stretch out his hand: "Nice to see you again, Mr. Adrian, to be honest, I really didn't expect to meet again , You are already a well-known director and filmmaker, and I will always remember the words on the street of Hudson River Mouth."

“I’m glad you can remember—you can call me Ed—I didn’t expect it at all. At that time, the cute girl was already beautiful to this extent.” Adrian shook hands with her.

"You can call me Charlie, Ed." Charlize giggled and looked extra charming, not like a 17-year-old girl, but the greenness hidden in the eyebrows but not Adrian's eye.

He raised his hand and looked at the time, Adrian immediately sent an invitation: "Can you have a cup of coffee, Charlie?"

"Now?" Charlize raised her slender eyebrows and stared at Adrian for a few seconds, "No problem."

As the sun moved westward, the orangeish sunlight pulled the shadows of the two people sitting by the window through the glass.

"In the beginning, it was really difficult. After all, I didn’t have any foundation at all, but...it was really interesting to say. Whenever I felt that I couldn’t persevere, I always thought of what you said to me that day. Words." Charlize sipped his coffee while talking about his experience, and from time to time he showed a bit of nostalgic memories.

"I never knew what my words would do." Adrian said in surprise.

"Oh, of course, because I don't think I can lose to an indifferent guy who can only comfort me with big words." Charlize blinked slyly, and Adrian suddenly showed a choked. The expression, then the girl in front of him giggled, and the trembling look was really attractive.

It’s really different from two years ago. Adrian said so in his heart while shrugging bitterly. Before that, he really did not expect that the sad and angry girl he met at the mouth of the Hudson River would be Charlize Theron, and he did not expect that he changed her pick just by saying a few words. Destiny, this feeling is really wonderful.

Speaking of that, she was indeed a beauty embryo at that time. Although she only touched for a few minutes, the impulsive appearance left a deep impression on Adrian; and two years later today, she has no more impulsive changes. I have matured a lot, and people have become more and more beautiful. Even if I don’t model anymore, my figure is still quite good.

"Anyway, I can help you." Adrian waved his hand generously.

"But what about..." Charlize suddenly sighed softly, "In fact, I almost gave up three times before, and the first penultimate was when my mother persuaded me to come back; the second penultimate was One of my teachers, Ms. Maria, gave me confidence; but the penultimate time was because I saw your news."

Adrian did not speak, but just looked at her quietly. The girl turned her head and thought about it before continuing: "That should be the first time you won the Oscar nomination for Best Director, just started in the newspaper. When I saw your photo, I just felt a little familiar, and after reading it carefully, I found some photos published in the magazine before I was sure that it was the guy who used my words to comfort me when I was the lowest."

"It seems that you are quite dissatisfied with me that day." Adrian said half-jokingly.

Charlize smiled: "If you want a specific adjective, it should be shocking and incredible. The man who claimed to stand on the top of the world has already been nominated for the Oscar for the best director, and broke the youngest record... …Since he can make such achievements in a year, why should I back down when I encounter difficulties?”

At this point, she sighed and looked at Adrian for a while before saying: "Unexpectedly, you will become a first-class director in another year, and broke the Oscar nomination record, see What you said at the beginning is not a big deal."

"It seems that you are very concerned about the news of the entertainment industry," Adrian said with a smile. "Have you ever thought about the development of the entertainment industry? You have an amazing beauty and stature. If you are an actor, many people will be willing to sign. How about you."

"Really?" Charlize raised his eyebrows.

"Of course, if it wasn't too rushed two years ago, maybe I already signed you then." Adrian said in a serious tone.

"Let's forget it." Charlize chuckled lightly. "Don't think I don't know the entertainment world. Beautiful women can only make vases. I don't want to do vases. And finally got a training certificate, Why give up this and do something else?"

It is Charlize Theron. Adrian said this in his heart, and the idea of ​​getting her became clear.

"Speaking of this, Charlie, I have to regret to tell you," he said with a pity in his hands, "Under federal law, under 18 years of age can not apply for a job like company secretary."

"Really?" Charlize looked at him in surprise.

"It's true, I think you should have been rejected by many companies before." Adrian said with a smile.

"Oh, hell" she showed an annoyed look, without concealing her frustration and disappointment.

"But what about..." Adrian reopened immediately, with a little joking.

"But what?" The girl raised her head. She looked at Adrian's expression and quickly understood what she was doing. She chuckled and adjusted her posture to reveal a beautiful look.

A really smart woman. It’s a good thing to have her as an assistant. Anyway, her fate has changed, isn’t she? Adrian shrugged and said, "It's very simple. Although there are regulations that can't be a company secretary under the age of 18, it can be a personal assistant."

"That's to say..." Charlize looked at the handle of the coffee cup in his hand.

"Will you be my personal assistant and secretary, Charlie?" Adrian didn't care and asked directly.

The girl pondered for a moment, then raised her eyebrows for the indelible, and seemed to see something, but then smiled: "Of course I would, otherwise I would not come to Bosworth Films for an interview, would I? ?"

The recruitment of secretaries and assistants is over, and Charlize’s story is just beginning. However, before she took office, Adrian had to rely on the assistants of several companies to help deal with some of the work. After all, Charlize still needs time to familiarize himself with the situation, and he still has to show on the weekend.

The debate on this year’s Oscar nomination has been temporarily settled, but the heat has not decreased at all, especially the discussion about who will win the prize is heard everywhere in the streets of the United States, every year. There is no exception to this, the famous William Hill gaming company in the United Kingdom also opened the market early.

The best odds are Al Pacino’s best actor. Whether the public or critics or Hollywood celebrities, they all agreed that this award is not Pacino, and 6 times nominated Qualifications, the role of people with disabilities, amazing performances, several major advantages have been exhausted, and even because of "Glengarry Glen Ross" won the nomination for the best supporting actor this year, if you still can not get the best actor The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences will definitely be accused unprecedentedly.

And the biggest rate, unfortunately, not Adrian, but John Travolta, who was nominated as the best actor. As in the original history, Travolta completely turned over with "Pulp Fiction", not only Because the signed share contract made a lot of money, and at the same time became the object of being chased by the media again, now he has also won the best actor, and it is not an exaggeration to describe his current situation with the pride of the spring breeze.

It’s just that he has been stuck in the trough for too long after all~IndoMTL.com~ Plus there are all the nominees of Pacino regulator, and the other three nominees are also superior to him, so he takes the best actor's compensation The rate is the highest.

However, although the odds of Adrian are not the highest, they are miscellaneous. After all, he has 6 nominations-well, counting the two duplicates is also 4 nominations, which is already a single Oscar single The record of nomination is gone. The lowest odds are the best adapted scripts, because the weight of the best adapted script is lower than the best original script, and he has two nominated adapted scripts. It is very likely that the judges will give him a consolation prize. The best odds are the best directors. Adrian has been in charge of the director for only two years. Although there are two nominations, the qualifications are a little shallower.

Of course, the highest odds are only in terms of a single award, because in addition to Adrian there is a handicap, that is to win all the nominated awards. The odds of this handicap are as high as 1 to 2000, for gambling It is quite comparable. If William Hill did not deliberately increase the odds of Travolta’s winnings to 1 for 2001 in order to win gimmicks, then the highest odds is undoubtedly Adrian.

In fact, most European bookmakers have the highest odds in the 65th Oscars.

In such a situation, Adrian participated in the X TV talk show hosted by Jimmy Kimmel. ()
