King of Hollywood Chapter 248: No accidents

"It's a pity that I always thought Naomi would get the best supporting actress." After Adrian sat back, Sophie whispered while watching the stage.

Despite the fact that several women of similar age around them are clearly distinguished for various reasons, the relationship between them is generally harmonious, so it is no wonder that Sufi would say so. As for Natalie, they all know a little bit, the twisted relationship between Adrian and her, just don’t understand what is going on, but they haven’t thought about it, because no one will make a fuss about Playboy chasing a woman. .

"It doesn't matter, there are opportunities in the future." Adrian smiled unintentionally. Since he served as an award guest, the probability of Naomi and Natalie winning the prize has dropped to a minimum.

The film academy does not want to appear in places that are too easily criticized. Although there are more places where they are criticized, there will always be pretense. However, in this respect, Adrian's previous guesses should be correct. The senior level of the College Board knows how much the voting situation may be. It may not be very specific, but the situation is definitely clear.

This is just right, some things can go more smoothly, even if it just adds to his plan.

Okay, back to the whole, there is another reason why Sophie would say this last sentence.

"Don't worry, watch it." Adrian gently patted the back of her hand. Sophie's face flushed suddenly. Without a doubt, he saw her thoughts.

Look at Blanchett on the other side, while listening to Marcia Gay Harden’s speech on stage. But the slightly bent corner of the mouth seemed meaningful, and Sophie couldn’t help but feel annoyed, but Adrian immediately took her hand. Although his eyes were focused on the stage, the warm feeling from the palm of his hand made Sophie relax. , So she finally coughed a little awkwardly.

Adrian understands Sophie's feelings, thinks about her longing desire, and thinks about his record in recent years, so the closer the goal is, the easier it is to suffer. In this case, Adrian just comforted her with actions. Language doesn't play much role, it is better to let her temporarily suppress it, and then use facts to prove that her concerns are wrong.

Yes, by this time, he can basically say so. In order to put Sophie on the throne of the best actress, in addition to the advantages that have been mentioned before, Adrian has also made some other points. effort. For example -

""Two Soldiers"!" When the award-giving guests pronounced their names, the audience applauded regularly, and Sophie beside Adrian looked a little lost, and then the anxious look between the eyebrows became more too much.

"This is a good thing, Sophie," Adrian gripped her hand tightly. Give her a reassuring smile, "Trust me, wait and see."

Sophie opened her mouth, but said nothing, but nodded slightly. Some calmness was restored again.

The best short film was not expected to be won by Super Sleepless at the Supermarket. Although "Two Soldiers" seems a bit lengthy, in Adrian, the content of 40 minutes can be cut in half, but who Let this short film tell the story of World War II, but also love, loyalty and responsibility. There are also sacrifices, all of which are the favorites of the film academy. It is basically impossible to avoid awards, even though "Supermarket Sleepless" can more easily resonate with ordinary people.

It's not that short films that "won" won awards will definitely win, not to mention the director of "Two Soldiers" Alan Schneider is an absolute American.

Sophie’s biggest shortcoming is that she is French, and the film academy has always favored natives, not to mention that she has already received a green card. Even if you are naturalized, it will take a long time to erase this from people's minds. The best leading actresses before, Gwyneth and Julia are Americans. Although Nicole is Australian, Australia is more easily integrated into the US cultural circle than other countries, as can be seen from the Australian gang in Hollywood. It is because of this that Blanchett, together with the public relations of Adrian and the creation of a situation in which two films compete at the same time, was able to reach the top, not to mention Nicole was born in Honolulu.

The most troublesome is Monica, but don’t forget, in Hollywood circles, the Italians led by Scorsese also have a lot of say-in this respect, Adrian snatched out last year. Scorsese was determined to be the best director, and it really shouldn't be. These, coupled with Weinstein's public relations capabilities and the full cooperation of the media, gave Monica up. This is the case. Some people still say that she has won disgrace.

Then, is there anything French in the circle of Hollywood?

Not enough seems very difficult, but it’s not that there is no hope at all. I won’t talk about the previous articles about Fahrenheit 911. Weinstein’s ability is also not mentioned. There is still a place -

"It's finally time for this again, every time it's so exciting, every time it's so enviable... Oh, sorry, I mean the one behind, not the one in front." Christo The appearance of making a wrong statement immediately caused a lot of laughter.

After several technical awards and more important script awards-no doubt, it is still swept by "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King"-the award ceremony finally ushered in the final climax, the most important SEG award Issued. The best actress was the first to bear the brunt, and when Christo announced on stage, Sophie began to get nervous again.

At this time, Adrian was more relaxed. As the award-giving guests began to introduce the nomination list, the choices were listed one by one on the screen. In addition to Sophie and Cate being nominated for "Rose Life" and "Warm Warm Inner Light" respectively, there are Samantha Morton of "New American Dream" and Cate Linna of "Wonder Maria" Sandino Moreno and Judy Madsen of Here.

In the eyes of others, this nomination is no problem, but they don’t know that this list is made by Adrian. If he does not intervene, at least two women should be on the list. Diane Keaton, who has performed well in "Love is a Compromise," also performed well in "Julie and Julia"... Meryl Streep.

However, the girl who described the drug smuggling in "The Blessed Maria" should participate in the Sundance Film Festival in January this year, and then received an independent film with certain praise and popularity. The focus of the film industry dedicated to the distribution of independent films was fancy, and then quickly released at the end of the year to be able to participate in this year's Oscar, and Cate Lina? Sandino? Moreno also won a best actress with focus efforts Nomination.

As for a woman's perspective of "here is" depicting an American family in the 1950s and 1960s, the release is Dimen Pictures, although it seems to be an independent film company. But in fact, the relationship with Miramax is inextricably linked, so Judy Madsen, who starred in the role, also received a nomination.

So, in this nomination list, Cate and Samantha are British, Cate Linna Colombian, and still very young, only Judy Madsen is American, but this is her first nomination. That's right. Everything is the means exerted by Adrian. Finding ways to get nominations for actresses with low chances of winning awards will squeeze those threatening ones away, leaving Sophie more room.

Otherwise, even though "Julie and Julia" is a warm-swapping story film, Streep might get the second best heroine's little gold man ahead of time-Diane Keaton The same is true-so it is necessary to do so. This is not easy. But doing nothing and doing nothing are two different things. Fortunately, after mobilizing countless resources, the final result basically met his requirements, although this made Adrian pay some considerable costs. But with Sophie's performance, it's totally worth it.

This situation has been created, as well as the "Fahrenheit 911" foreshadowing, and Weinstein's hard-working public relations, plus Sophie has also been nominated for several Oscar performance awards, and naturally there is no uproar. .

"Sophie Marceau!" When the name was pronounced. There was an uproar in the audience. Sophie covered her mouth in disbelief. She was even at a loss. She finally got the strong unrealism of the long-awaited thing and enveloped her so that she did not know what to do.

"Go up, Sophie." Adrian gently pushed, and applause also sounded at the moment.

"Okay...Okay." Sophie stood up, still in a trance. He even looked at Adrian timidly, and didn't stabilize his emotions until he stepped on the stage to pick up the little gold man.

"Sorry, I..." She took a deep breath, "I didn't expect to stand here one day, although I have dreamed countless times, when I just said my name, I even thought I was In dreaming, I even said to myself in my heart: Sophie, are you sure your name, not someone with the same name and surname?"

A low sound of goodwill immediately followed.

"Thank you," Sophie wiped out her eyes. "Thank you for the Academy of Films for awarding me this award. Thank you to everyone in the "Rose of Life" crew. Thank you for supporting my friends. Thank you...Adrian, thank you Give me a chance. I can finally prove that I finally used this proof..."

Sophie on the stage became choked up again. She squeezed her mouth and tried desperately to control herself, but the corners of her mouth kept shaking and her eyes were getting red. In the end, she let out a sob. Although she lowered her head and covered her mouth for the first time, everyone heard clearly, and her trembling shoulders also clearly expressed Sophia, who had been limping for decades. Finally got affirmation, so weeping feelings of joy.

Adrian stood up without hesitation, and began to applaud. Under his leadership, the people around him also stood up, and then stood up with many others, whether it’s because of Adrian’s face, Still because of the herd effect, everyone in the hall stood up and applauded Sophie.

"Thank you, thank you again, and thank you...Ms. Piaf," said the sobbing Sophie holding the little gold man in his hand. "I once doubted whether I could play this role well, but Piya Ms. Fu’s experience has always inspired me and made me have the courage to face and work hard to fight for it."

Finally, she took a deep look at the following Adrian: "If there is anything else I want to say, then there is only one word, what Ms. Pi Yafu said to the female reporter at the beach in the movie— -Love!"

After finishing, Sophie raised her skirt and bowed deeply, and warm applause rang again. When she walked off the stage. Despite covering his mouth with his hands again, the teardrops in his eyes fell uncontrollably. When he came to Adrian, he even hugged him tightly and buried his head on his shoulders. Sobbed.

Adrian didn't care about the appearance around her, and patted her back gently to appease, so that after a few seconds, Sophie controlled her emotions.

"Sorry, Ed." She said this after letting go of her hand, and then hugged Blanchett next to him. Blanchett also hugged her tightly for a few seconds. Then, she embraced the others in turn, and then sat back to her position. Although the applause was not big, she never broke.

"Sorry, Ed." Sophie said this again.

"It doesn't matter," Adrian smiled slightly, "Remember what I said before?"

Followed by raising the index finger to the mouth before Sophie spoke: "Don't worry. We have time tonight."

On the stage, the best actor is about to be announced, Sophie has no opening, but there are tears in his eyes with unspeakable gratitude, and the hand holding Adrian is tighter.

The winner of the best actor is not beyond the expectations of Adrian. It is still Sean Pan of Mystery River. Hollywood's well-known bad boy. Speaking of it, some people are so unlucky. Although Tom Cruise has tried his best to express himself in "The Last Samurai", unfortunately, Watanabe has received a nomination for the best supporting actor, but he has no results.

Okay. Not to mention this, Sean Pan, who went up to receive the award, was very happy. Although he was notoriously reckless and dared to take helicopter shots at the media, sooner or later everyone had to mature and get the best male The protagonist can be regarded as a film school for him to become mature. Or a certainty of becoming a compromise.

But the following Clint? Eastwood's face is not very good, the reason is very simple, looking at the history of Oscar, at the same time won the performance award, director's award and the best film works are very few. In addition to "Secret River" helping Sean Pan get the best actor, Tim Robbins also got the best supporting actor before. Then I want to get the best director and the best movie. Hope It is very slim.

If it is other time, the old man may be confident and fight for it. But there is a pervert that Adrian has been nominated for several consecutive times, no matter the best director or the best movie, he is really hard to have too much confidence. Although they are both referees and players-Eastwood is becoming a director from an actor, and has long been a member of the Film Academy. The network in Hollywood can not be said to be extensive, but Adrian has the power and resources He is far beyond comparison, this is always a money-first country.

So, just like Sophie’s best actress, before attending the awards ceremony, Adrian will ask you to do everything in all aspects over and over again, but after entering the Kodak Theater, it calmed down. If you are yours, you must be yours!

"Okay, guys, now is the last moment, maybe, tonight will have a miracle that has not been seen before!" Christo said with a frown, "Of course, I said the word miracle, it is indeed very The meaning of pure miracle, there is no other hint, I promise, absolutely no, please believe me!"

The scene laughed. Everyone knew what he was talking about. Adrian shrugged and looked at the stage with a decent smile until--

""The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King", Adrian? Kewell!"

Good! When the soundtrack of "The Lord of the Rings" sounded, Adrian suddenly sighed and gently waved his fist slightly. Although he has participated in countless Oscars and knows that he is the most likely to win the award, but as he tirelessly told the reporter, no one can guarantee that he will definitely be the winner until the last minute. From this point In general, Oscar’s business operations are indeed excellent.

After he got up, the people around him began to congratulate. Although Sophie became a little bit overwhelmed by her previous enthusiasm, Blanchett, Monica, and Liv Tyler didn’t have so many concerns and hugged them one by one. , And immediately attracted the attention of many people.

Adrian walked onto the stage with ease. IndoMTL.com~ coughed into the microphone after receiving the best director's little gold man, and then took out a small piece of paper from the jacket pocket and frowned. After a few glances, the stuttering speech began: "This...Thank you...Um...sorry, I don't see this word clearly."

Laughing suddenly sounded below.

"Okay, I said I shouldn’t have prepared it in advance." Adrian turned the paper over, and the camera shot over, blank above it, and the laughter grew louder.

"Frankly, I can’t remember the feeling of the trophy when I took the best director last time. Thanks to the Academy for letting me relive this feeling again, although...oh, my poor "Matrix", You are never suitable for this kind of scene." Adrian sighed pretendingly, and caused a burst of laughter again.

"Of course, this is already a very good change. I believe that the academy and all filmmakers have been working hard and constantly seeking new ideas and changes. Thank God, this is why we can always maintain our glory. Adrian raised the trophy in his hand: "Finally, thanks to the whole crew, this glory belongs not only to me but to you. Without you, I can’t show the magnificent Middle-earth world alone. Without you, I will be the only one. No one can carry this grand adventure to the end. This is a great victory. This adventure will inevitably be remembered in our hearts forever, thank you!" (To be continued...)
