King of Hollywood Chapter 317: Unparalleled, of course
"Performing all aspects of a character to the extreme, this is the meaning of the actor. The following are the nominations for the best actor in the Oscars." Natalie, who was wearing a purple dress, said with a smile on the stage. After these, the faces of the candidates appeared in turn and introduced on the large screen next to them.
Philippe Seymour Hoffman of "Capote", David Streizen of "Good Night, Good Luck", Adrian? Brody of "The Pianist," "Terrence Howard and Vigo Mortson in "History of Violence". Just as people whispered and made their final guess, Natalie had opened the envelope: "The Oscar winner is, Adrian? Brody!"
Immediately, applause and the soundtrack of "The Pianist" sounded. Brody put his hands in front of him, it seemed a little unbelievable, but immediately stood up and shook hands with friends around him to celebrate, and also hugged with Adrian.
"Thank you, Mr. Kewell." He said excitedly.
"This is what you deserve." Adrian patted his shoulder and glanced around at the same time, couldn't help but want to laugh in his heart, this must disappoint many people.
Brodi's best actor means that he belongs to "The Pianist" and there is no shortage of them. Don't forget what Brody's name is. Although these are somewhat idealistic, don’t forget that there are few atheists here.
"How do you feel, are you ready?" After Brody's speech was finished, Natalie followed him down, Adrian asked with a smile.
Natalie became nervous, but looked at it and replied in a reluctant calm tone: "I'm waiting."
"Then watch it carefully." Adrian said leisurely.
However, although he said so on his mouth, he was not calm. After all, what he had to do was something that had never happened in the history of Oscar, and the slogan "Girl from the Holy City, where wisdom and beauty coexist" Although it will get the support of many people, but at the same time it will also lose the votes of many people, so the final result will be as expected. He was not 100% sure.
At this point, Stewart above has finished his description, and Rui Fan, who looks very handsome in a suit, has already gone up: "Ladies and gentlemen, good evening, I know that everyone is very urgent at this time of year. , Just like I did last year. So I try to make time as fast as possible. Oscar nominations are as follows -"
As before, screen shots of nominated candidates began to play, the first of which was Judy Dench’s... Scandal Notes.
Frankly, Adrian was surprised when he got the nomination list. He remembered that Judy Dench should be nominated by "Mrs. Henderson's Gift". But she did get the nomination by "Scandal Notes", but that should be next year. Adrian considered to advance the movie for Blanchett, but did not expect Judy? The best heroine.
It stands to reason that if she really wants to win an award, she should choose "Mrs. Henderson's Gift". After all, this year is the 60th anniversary of the victory of World War II, and the second half of the film has many plots about the German bombing. But then again. Compared to Judy Dench’s previous role, the heroine of "Scandal Notes" is a bit unusual. This is a villain protagonist. It is easy to make a deep impression among a group of inspirational nominees and may play a magical effect.
Of course, this character is not so perfect, anyway. She is always a-well, Judy Dench’s idea does not need Adrian attention, not to mention... so he just kept thinking about the next picture. The remaining four nominations are all his women's-Keira may not be enough, but nobody cares, does he? Not to mention the time is coming.
The second appearance is the Cate shot in "Northern Winds and Clouds". The dirty clothes she only had as a miner, her scattered hair, and the irony of the surrounding timid people are loudly spoken. The shot rotates with her 270 Degree, with the angry language, seemed very tense. Frankly speaking, her current acting is much better than another time and space.
Next is Kayla in "Pride and Prejudice". The excerpt is that Elizabeth accused Darcy on rainy days. This scene of Kayla’s acting is not particularly outstanding, but her continuous and subdued London accent, but let She looks exceptionally cute. Adrian couldn't help but look out where she was sitting. It happened that Keira also looked over. Although she didn't dare to make too many expressions because the camera was facing herself, she made something that only he could see. Humming, while the left hand under the right hand clenched into a fist slightly, and swayed left and right, she would really pick a place to tease.
The fourth is Nicole of "Crossing America". The selected Su is very common, but she highlights her acting skills. She deliberately practiced this film for a period of time with low voice and coarse voice, and was exposed to several transsexuals. People, observe their lives, take a lot of details into the movie, and add makeup, if you don't look closely, you really can't see this is the famous Nicole Kidman. It's a pity that because of her big belly, she made an excuse not to be on the scene, only a photo on the screen.
Natalie last appeared, the selected clip was the last sober look, a messy room, from shallow to deep, people gradually changed from fierce to confused and terrified, and finally squatted down and hugged Sobbing gently in fear, there is quite a sense of hierarchy, and the infectious power erupts instantly.
Then, Rui Fan opened the envelope: "The Oscar winner is, Natalie Portman!"
After he announced his name, there was at least two seconds of silence on the scene, followed by a loud applause mixed with applause.
"Remember what I said?" Adrian applauded approvingly, and Natalie pursed her lips, trembling slightly while holding the armrest, and seemed completely unbelievable.
But she finally stood up steadily and hugged with Adrian and quickly walked onto the stage.
"...Thank you, at this moment, all I can think of is this word," Natalie, who had been brewing for a long time after taking Xiaojin from Ruifan, said with a vibrato, "I never thought I’ll stand here again so soon, I’ve never thought of raising the trophy of the best actress again so quickly, I never... I just want to say, thank you Mr. Adrian? Kewell, it’s yours Discovered me, and you guided me, let me step on the stage and stand here. Thank you very much, I will definitely go better..."
Her unconventional performance made Adrian raise an eyebrow. If most of the media’s relationship between her and him was only described in a speculative tone, then after this award speech, they can be replaced with affirmation. Tone. If this is the case, his last sentence is obviously reminding him not to forget his promise to her.
The last struggle? Adrian smiled and didn't care. After she thanked a lot of people and came down in applause, she opened her arms again and hugged Natalie.
"The touching speech is very beautiful." He whispered to her with a smile, and didn't care that the camera was facing him.
"I just want to say...I just want to say...these are...my sincerity." Natalie brushed the hair in her ears, her eyelids drooping and dared not stare at him.
Adrian didn't care at all. His eyes were always on the stage, and he put his index finger to his mouth and shushed: "Okay, I have something to say later, and now the most critical moment is coming." "
Compared to just now, his mood is much easier at the moment. Natalie’s best actress may have a chance to make a comeback, but this one will definitely not.
"The five directors chose the real theme without exception. Now let's take a look at the nominations." Award guest Tom Hanks was already on the stage, and he read the name a few minutes later: " Adrian?Kewell!"
Applause, warm applause, deafening applause, when Adrian stood up with a smile, everyone in the audience followed up. Even if there are quite a few people who are not convinced, they are helpless. After the announcement of the list, there is no possibility of change. Adrian's record-breaking three times as the best director has already been loaded into the history of Oscars, plus Natalie's previous best actress. Brody took away the best actor, the Academy of Film has already confirmed his status in Hollywood with practical actions. So no matter what, you must watch him ascend to the throne in a humble manner at this moment.
"Congratulations, Ed, it is really unbeatable." Hanks said sincerely when he handed the little gold man to Adrian.
"Thank you, Tommy." Adrian nodded, took the trophy and stood in front of the microphone, then glanced at the audience, smiled slightly, raised his hand and raised it, thank you again: "Thank you!"
No restraint, no pride, no pride, no pride, only—for granted!
Yes, from the beginning of the production of the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, he has prepared for this day for almost 7 years. During this period, he has experienced countless things. Looking back, he was a little surprised. After spending so much effort and consuming so much energy, and trying my best to take advantage of it, what can't be taken for granted?
Some people may find it unfair. They have been the best director for three consecutive years. Even if they bought a film academy, or made a behind-the-scenes deal, they are unlikely to achieve this level. Adrian must be super capable, hypnotizing all movies. Members who can vote in the college. Of course, they will never know what it means to take advantage of the trend. The so-called historical trend is vast, and the prosperity is the opposite. The importance of the trend is only mentioned. Only fools believe that as long as the movie is good enough.
Being able to take advantage of the situation, it can be shaken even in the high mountain, and Adrian just grasped this situation in the hands by the prophet. First of all, through the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, it continuously ran into the film school, nominated every year, everyone praised, coupled with the huge popularity of "The Lord of the Rings" itself, and the school itself for innovation and change, and he won several awards last time. Things happened years ago, so I got the first best director.
Then, borrowing the increasingly vigorous **** movement in the early 21st century, especially Massachusetts became the first state to allow **** marriage in 2004, it has further stimulated the development of various **** organizations. In the context of the social movement, "Broken Mountain" was launched. At the same time, some methods were used. In exchange for giving up the best film, the second best director was obtained.
Next, it goes without saying that the Jewish Holocaust, the 60th anniversary of the victory of World War II, opened fire mercilessly to European movies, stood clearly on the Hollywood side, plus the transactions of various internal forces, it was no difficulty to get Block 3.
As long as the order is slightly reversed, it is impossible to be as successful as this, especially before and after Brokeback Mountain and Pianist, so very particular, so Adrian is most worried about the gains and losses of the second best director. It is also the best director for "Broken Mountain". When it comes to "The Pianist", it is also given, not to give, not to mention trading.
This is the power of momentum. Of course, other factors are also important. For example, the quality of the basic film must pass, otherwise the previous ones are nothing but castles in the sky. Or maybe Adrian is pursuing the award as the best director and not the best movie, and has repeatedly assured the Academy that it will never seek the best director again this time.
Although for filmmakers, the best film is the highest honor, but this award is not awarded to the director like Golden Palm, but to the production company. The best film three times is no better than the best film three times. The director gained a higher reputation and was more likely to be jealous. As for not seeking the best director, they have already won the best director four times. How much do you want to get? John Ford only took it four times.
Some people may say that they have reached this point. Once again, is it not good for the unprecedented to be the one who won the five best directors in Oscar history? Of course it is not good. If it is decades later, it will be old and old, maybe Adrian will think so, but it is absolutely not possible now. If it just pops up a little, then there will naturally be no problem, but if it pops up too much. It is easy to be blown down by the wind.
What happened to John Ford’s record? With three consecutive best directors in a row, Adrian is already unique, and he doesn’t look at how much he has spent for this moment. And with his knowledge of the film academy, after this, the agreement that will be made in private internally will not appear the next best director for three consecutive times.
So, why can't he take this third little gold man for granted.
"This is an unparalleled glory, thank you all, I will always remember it." Adrian finished his speech, raised the trophy again and raised it, and then owed a little, and the warm applause sounded again. .
After that, needless to say, in exchange, the best movie was obtained by "Capote", and the 78th Oscar came to an end.
As for the Vanity Fair party in the back, there is also nothing to say, Adrian has not missed every time, and naturally participated in this time. However, the problem is that as the newly released best director for three consecutive times, countless people came to the party that night to greet him and talk, whether familiar or unfamiliar, so that his woman could not find him alone Because of the opportunity to chat, some reserved items can only be given up.
The only gain is that Philip Seymour Hoffman promised that if the role is suitable, he is willing to play the main role in the movie recommended by Adrian, whether or not he directed it.
It has been 06 years now. The stage drama version of "Child Abuse Suspected" that was abandoned was not unexpectedly performed on Broadway in New York, and won the Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award. Some things are still developing according to established rules. With. In this regard, the concerned Adrian was naturally the first to get the right to adapt. Natalie can’t use it, but it doesn’t mean that others can’t use it. Although now he can relax and rest completely, he still has to consider it for women, not ?
And Philip Seymour? Hoffman played the priest in the original version, and Adrian was too lazy to find someone, and compensate him by the way. After all, Hoffman should have won the best actor in this Oscar, but unfortunately because of the Adrian meddling, **** characters have already won the best actor before this, and Brody’s competitiveness is because he is a Jew, also There were a series of factors this year that became particularly powerful and eventually led to his defeat.
How can you not only sell your personal feelings but also maintain the standard of the movie?
Although I didn’t get close to Cate at the party, the show that night was indispensable. Although Natalie was also surrounded by a large group of people because she won the best actress, she failed to talk to Adrian, but in the end He secretly got into the RV he was going to be at the back door.
As the first woman to accompany Adrian on Oscar Night for two consecutive years, she is also a vote. Of course, Natalie will not be proud of it.
But despite this~IndoMTL.com~ Under Adrian, Natalie took the initiative to entangle him in the car for the first time, and went to the villa in Malibu in this way. But she thought that this would satisfy him, then she was wrong. When the RV stopped in the garage, Adrian did not mean to stop. He continued to be kind to her in the car first, after the driver left completely, Picking up Natalie and getting out of the car, she did the same while leaving the garage before entering the house, and also deliberately circled from the vestibule.
"No...don't do this..." Natalie, unable to struggle, said so tightly and begged as she passed the courtyard.
"Why? I did so much for you, you can't even meet this requirement?" This is a playful answer in Adrian, and the other person's body tightened immediately.
As always, although the Oscars are over, there are always aftermaths. For example, some media have made various ridiculous jokes about Adrian’s three best directors, and made various hints about Natalie’s best actress, movie. The college's behavior of splitting cakes is not a hot issue with more than three awards, which is the best proof. In short, there are all kinds of voices.
Mel Gibson’s big mouth even publicly declared that this was a victory for the Jews. Of course, he was a bit brainy. He didn’t attack Adrian, but complained that he shouldn’t please the Jews.
