King of Hollywood Chapter 89: Think in another direction

"What should I say to you, Laffer?" The Adrian sitting behind the large desk looked helplessly and sighed at Lafferne, "Should I praise you for your good work? Or blame you for your own claims?"

　　Since Laffern became the CEO of the company, Adrian called him to the office for the first time. Before that, he always went to Laffern to take the initiative to maintain the authority of his president.

　　 No wonder Adrian is a little unkind. He is really very depressed now. Just before, when shooting the Willis and the gangster Masha's Wen? Remus chasing scenes on the street, he was watched by countless reporters for a long time. If the weather is not bad and no flash is needed, no Know how many shots those guys will break. And every time after the rest of the shooting, they will stick like a fly and ask this question, which is very annoying.

　　 "You are more like a star than us, man." Willis ridiculed him so much.

　　 Just started shooting a chase scene on the street and Willis fans were waiting nearby, waiting to sign, but when the Oscar nomination list was announced, the nearby became all reporters and those who wanted to watch People who see what kind of magical creature Adrian is.

Frankly speaking, Adrian never thought that he would be nominated for the best director. In his memory, there are no best directors among the seven nominations obtained by "Shoushenk's Salvation". The most important ones are the best movies, the best actor, the best adapted script, and the others are all technical.

　　 can now not only get the nomination for the best director, but also won a total of 8 projects, the best sound effect has become the best supporting actor-Adrian specially made people to Tim Robbins reported the best actor , Reported the best supporting actor for Morgan Freeman, did not expect it to have a strange effect. Of course, most of this is Laffern's credit. Without his public relations efforts, how can the old men of the film academy give nomination so readily.

　　 If you change to someone else, you will surely jump with joy. That is the nomination of Oscar for best director. Moreover, it also broke the record of the youngest best director nomination. How could this not be worth celebrating. But Adrian is only depressed. He has spent so much energy, thinking that he will make a memorable appearance in the next few days, but he did not expect to be destroyed by the nomination of a best director who should be happy. It is undoubtedly a very bad thing.

　　 Depressed mood and the harassment of reporters, so Adrian came back to the company during the weekend break to ask Laffern Xing for guilt. He certainly did not say that he wanted this nomination.

　　 "Sorry, boss," Raphine said after a few seconds of silence. "I think I might have a problem with the other party's communication, so that they misunderstood me."

　　Adrian raised an eyebrow. This is obviously an excuse. Laffern’s ability is undoubted, otherwise he will not get 8 nominations for "The Redemption of Shawshank", so he will definitely not make such a mistake. And Laffern has no reason not to do what he ordered, so there is only one explanation for getting the nomination for the best director, and the judges will indeed be wrong!

　　 Although this conclusion made him cry and laugh, it is indeed possible to think about it carefully. Although declaring "Shoushenk's Redemption" as the best director's competition is just a statement, Laffern can't understand this after all, telling the other party not to be nominated for the best director? If the judges are wrong in their contact and feel that the movie is eligible, it is normal to give this nomination.

　　 In this way, Laffern can be said to be irresponsible. I believe that Laffern himself understands this, but he still takes this matter to himself. As for why this is done, there are two reasons.

　　In Hollywood, opportunities are often more important than ability. If Adrian does not appear, Lavern may stay in the position of general manager of this small company until he retires. His ambitions cannot be realized at all. His name will not be known.

　　As for another reason, Lavern also believes that the young boss who can make such achievements in just two years and can put himself in the position of CEO without unreserved trust also understands this. .

　　 "Forget it, the problem is not yours, the important thing is how to remedy it now." Adrian waved his hand, and it was exposed. "I think you should understand why I did this, Laffer."

　　Although he was still depressed and annoyed when he first returned to the company, he has adjusted his mentality now, and even enjoys this feeling to some extent. Lavern is very satisfied with him. Although "Shoushenk's Salvation" has quality assurance, it may not be unrelated to his public relations to get 8 nominations. This ability is regarded as first-class in Hollywood, and I believe he can Do it better. Such a talent, if not for himself, may be buried.

　　 In fact, Lavern is pretty good. Relatively speaking, the competition for actors is more fierce. Every year, thousands of young men and women flock to Hollywood with dreams, and those with backgrounds are better~IndoMTL.com~No The background can only bump around like headless flies. When they gradually realize the cruelty of reality, many people will do everything to win the opportunity.

　　Adrian still remembers a story about Jack Lemmon seen in his previous life. When he first came out, he won the Oscar for best supporting actor because of the movie "Mr. Roberts". He excitedly told his acting teacher. But the teacher pointed to the person who passed by them and said to him: 6 people who have just walked in this role may be as good as you; the most important difference between you and them is that you get They don’t have this character!

　　 Therefore, Drew will take the initiative to tease him; so, Monica did not reject him; so, Laffern accused him by default. This feeling of manipulating the destiny of others is really fascinating.

　　 "Frankly speaking, I don't think there is anything that can be remedied, Ed." Raffan changed his title back.

　　 "You can’t just let it go." Adrian frowned and raised his hands. He knew that Laffern was telling the truth. If it was only the youngest Oscar nomination for best director, then he could find ways to divert public attention. Unexpectedly, the "Washington Post" entertainment chief reporter named Haggis Pine actually turned his old man out.

　　 is too careless! Adrian said something in his heart, but then shook his head slightly. Even if there is no point, there will be others, and those materials are not classified and can be easily found. Moreover, his current career has only just started, far from being able to influence the media.

　　 "Maybe," Raphine looked at his boss after a few minutes of silence. "We can think in another direction."

　　 "Change direction?" Adrian raised an eyebrow.
