King of Hollywood Chapter 88: The youngest director nomination
"I have never encountered such a situation. When I tried to describe a person, I didn’t even know where to start. This is a very strange person, and also a very wonderful person. I don’t have I have talked to him face to face, and I always like to look for their qualities in the directors’ works. But this is an exception. I have repeatedly viewed his three works several times, but I have not found any connection in it. This is really It was very surprising.
Simply put, the three films were shot from three different angles, without any interference with each other. We know that many directors have their own styles, no matter what themes are made, they will find more or less the shadow of some other works. But in "Memento" you will not see the slightest possible connection with "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels", and also in "Shoushenk's Salvation" you will not see the shadows of the first two movies.
I often think about who this youngest Oscar nominee for best director will be. His three works are like three unrelated people who made the director. When I learned a little about his experience, I felt that I couldn't see through. Just 2 years ago, he was just a drunk boy who bought all day long-yes, yes, literally. Adrian·Kewell's father, Jeffrey Kewell, was the president of a company. He died in an air crash with his wife four years ago. Adrian has since lingered in bars. However, two years after such a day, he seemed to wake up suddenly, picked up the guide tube and became the director, and achieved surprising results.
We all know that he has produced three movies so far, and we also know that he is a cutting-edge director of Hollywood and has the title of ghost talent, but I believe many people probably ignore the time he spent making movies. According to my investigation, "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels" was turned on in June 90, and then the movie participated in the Venice Film Festival in August; and "Memento" was turned on in November 90, and then participated in February 91 Berlin Film Festival; As for "The Redemption of Shoshenko", it was turned on in April 1991. Although it was released at the end of October, all the work was completed at the end of August!
God, no such director has ever had such efficiency, right? In addition, all three films have earned high box office, and "Memento" and "Shawshank's Salvation" have gained quite a high reputation. Although the reputation of "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels" is not as good as the latter two movies, it can be tailored delicately. Still won a lot of applause.
Frankly speaking, I haven’t watched "Shoushenk's Salvation" before the Oscar nomination list came out. Because of his two previous movies, I thought it was a similar movie again. It’s not until now that I understand what I almost missed. This movie reminds me of the hardships I faced when I was a little reporter 8 years ago. If I didn’t persevere with hope, I wouldn’t sit on a typewriter I wrote these words for you before. Can you believe it? It took him only 4 months or less to make this movie!
Quality and speed are inversely proportional. This theorem doesn’t seem to work on Adrian. At least I also know that he started production of the fourth movie before the release of Shawshank’s Salvation, and invited Al. Pacino starred in the actor; besides, just after finishing the production of this new movie, he immediately started the production of the fifth movie... Does his energy never run out?
It’s amazing, a dude who didn’t know anything about 2 years ago, but was nominated for Oscar Best Director two years later, and there are 3 of the 4 movies produced in these 2 years Have achieved success, how many people can achieve this level? ! Well, if this is not enough, according to the information I got, many high-end box office movie scripts last year came from his hands, such as Warner's "Bodyguard", or Universal's "Scream". .
After putting these materials in front of me, I froze for 5 minutes. I can't imagine what kind of person this is, how did he do it all? He thinks he should not be called a ghost, he should be called a wizard, if possible, I hope he can accept my interview. "
-Haggis Point, "The Washington Post"
With the announcement of the 64th Oscar nomination list, Hollywood immediately attracted the public's attention. This year's Oscar accidentally made the "The Silence of the Lambs" horror horror movie shortlisted as the best movie, best director, best actor, Eight awards including Best Actress and Best Adapted Script, Judy Foster and Anthony Hopkins' superb performances were also unanimously favored by film critics. Can Foster win the best actress again? Can Hopkins get the best actor with less than 30 minutes of performance? These are all talked about by people.
However, although the strong finale of "The Silence of the Lambs" attracted a lot of attention, it is not the most concerned. The most concerned is "The Salvation of Shawshank" and its director Adrian·Kewell!
"The Shawshank Redemption" was shortlisted for the 8 Oscars for Best Film, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Soundtrack, Best Editing, and Best Photography ! This is definitely an amazing result ~ IndoMTL.com ~ and the Adrian individual has also won three nominations for Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay, and Best Editing. One can imagine how surprised people should be. But what surprised them more was the personal experience of Adrian.
Before the report by the Washington Post’s chief entertainment reporter Haggis Pointe, people’s impression of Adrian was only a new director with the title of ghost, and all three films produced were successful- I have to say that he has done a good job of keeping a low profile in front of the media.
And when the Oscar nomination list came out, it was discovered that this 24-year-old young man actually became the youngest Oscar nominee for best director-unfortunately, the original youngest nominee for best director was better than Adrian John Singleton, who was 20 days younger, was squeezed out-in addition, he was also nominated for the best adapted script and best editing, which is amazing.
After the publication of Pinet’s report, this surprise was suddenly magnified numerous times. A dude who used to hang around in a bar two years ago suddenly picked up the guide tube as a director, and produced three movies in a row. Not only did each of them sell at the box office, but the last one also got the same as "The Silence of the Lambs" He was nominated for the Oscars for eight awards. In addition, he is also the screenwriter of "Bodyguard" and "Scream". His process of making movies is extremely short. His first two films are also at the Venice Film Festival and the Berlin Film Festival. Each has its own gains, this... this is too amazing, right? This is simply a fantasy novel!
The public's interest in Adrian has suddenly risen by dozens of degrees.
