King of Hollywood

Chapter 152 Negotiations and Other

There's a little celebration going on in the CEO's office in Bosworth because there's only two people in the room right now.

“Congratulations, Ed, the British have nothing to say.” LaVerne wanted Adrian to greet him with a glass.

Every great CEO has some privileges in his office, like LaVerne's liquor cabinet, and the bosses don't usually interfere when they know the scale.

“How can it be said that there have been so many movie reviews of Howard Manor in British newspapers during this time?” Adrian turned around and said with a whisper in his hand.

The British media, of course, could not remain silent for the rest of their lives, so it was covered after a brief silence, although it was basically a review of the actors and a comparison of the film and the novel. One film critic, for example, thought that the relationship between Henry and Margaret had developed a little too quickly, and suddenly fell in love and married, failing to show what was in the novel, but he immediately said that it was actually normal, after all, that the movie was not like the novel for long enough.

Similar methods such as picking a little prick and pacifying it are common in the British media, and basically not mentioning the director very much. The vague phrases “Adrian is a great director” and “He does express what the novel is trying to express in a movie." Even Adrian's grandmother in England dared not mention it. What did she think about when she strongly criticized it before?

“Twisting and squeezing, like a pussy, is not pleasant at all.” This is how an American journalist evaluates the behaviour of his British counterparts.

Even though the UK media admitted to losing very badly, how to turn the corner after all showed up, so the US media that won the round then revealed it in large measure. Of course, the tabloids haven't heard of it in the first place, but for them, the facial thing doesn't exist.

“In any case, it is an achievement that cannot be ignored.” LaVerne said seriously.

“Thank you,” Adrian smiled slightly, raising the cup in LaVerne's hand, revealing a profound divinity, "so I've done what I promised and it's up to you now. ”

LaVerne looked neat and very serious: “I know, I'll do my best. ”

“Don't worry, we'll get the nomination first.” Adrian stuffed the amber drink in the cup, "I will do my best to provide you with the resources you need if you need to. ”

After a pause, he asked, "Oh, yeah, what about the one that was the front station or the subject of the wind direction? ”

“The nomination list will be published in just a few days, and everything goes well," LaVerne's expression loosens up and smiles, "and if you decide, I can start the PR party as soon as the nomination list is published. ”

“It has been decided, no need to change,” Adrian waved, "Monica just has a nomination. If she takes it now, the sound of the dark screen will be loud. Neither we nor they will want to see it, even if everyone knows what they are. So why don't you sell yourself a favor, and... that's it. ”

“Got it." LaVerne nodded and didn't talk much.

“That's it, I'm leaving. You're doing great, Ralph.” Adrian dropped the cup in his hand and patted LaVerne's shoulder for encouragement, then left the office and went outside.

As early as last year, when planning and preparing for these three films began, Adrian told his CEO of his intentions and affirmed that quality could be fully guaranteed, so LaVerne's ability became critical.

By now, they had both given each other a surprise, Adrian did guarantee quality, all three films had a double harvest in the mouthpiece and box office, Low Vulgar Novel not only got gold palms but also became his first North American box office over a hundred million works, "Smell the Fragrance Woman" and "Howard Manor" made many people break their glasses, and Pacino and Thompson's performances were certainly praised by the vast majority, not to mention "Howard Manor" as a small literary film, the box office was already on the way to 30 million - although it was overdraft, it was not overdraft for Adrian.

LaVerne got him a nomination for the best Oscar director and a record for his youngest Oscar director, so Adrian can expect his plan to become a reality in three months.

It's enough to have the best lead, the best lead, and the nomination of another best director, so it doesn't matter if you get the best director or not. Adrian in the car thought so. Though he has been remarkable this year, it does not mean that the Academy will consider him eligible for the award.

Although there are many eye-catching points in the art of shooting, The Low Fiction is, after all, too bloody violent and out of line with mainstream views. Don't think the Academy doesn't consider this when it comes to choosing the best director, it's just a lot easier than the best movie, but the Low Fiction definitely goes beyond that line.

Come on, it's still a question of seniority. Adrian's career as a director is only a little over two years old. If he gets the best director, how can he make other people feel? Yes, Oscar history also had many directors who had won awards for the first time, but before that, these people had been directors elsewhere, in stage dramas, on television, many times -- networking was built at these times.

And there's an extraordinary old man competing in this Oscar, so even if the chances are not zero, it doesn't take so much effort to get there, rather than devoting the resources to it, it's best to guarantee the best possible male and best female lead. Besides, LaVerne gave him a great idea, and if he succeeded, it would never be as resounding as getting the best director, so he didn't need to count that much for now, sooner or later.

Well, this is a few months from now, and it's not even on the nomination list yet. Adrian shook his head and thought of another nomination list, which would soon be announced for the 50th Film Golden Globe Awards.

Though the golden ball trophy will bring a little bit of a black screen, it will always have a lot of weight in the United States, at least the most up-to-date with movies like individual associations]. Anyway, the qualifications for the Golden Globe Awards are there, and while less than a hundred judges are susceptible to * accusations, there is still a basic bottom line. The awards can be controversial, but there is absolutely no such thing as knowing rotten things at a glance, otherwise the next thing to rot is the Golden Globe Awards themselves.

So Adrian asked LaVerne to announce the Golden Globe prize, mainly for Monica, for her appearance and performance in The Lowlife, though not lost to Uma? Thurman, even more beautiful and sexy in some places, but he's at least one shot short of acting. As I said before, because it took a long modeling career to make her face look a little stiff for a lot of time, and it would take a lot of time to correct it, so the nomination of Oscar's best female partner is not to be expected.

Now that Monica is her own woman, she definitely can't be offended, she wants to hold her in her hands, emotions and interests are indispensable, so she can't get an Oscar nomination for Best Actress, and it's perfectly fine to get a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actress. However, the chances of winning the trophy will not be high due to acting problems. Besides, Drew's the best actress to declare the Golden Globe? Barry Moore, since we made a deal with Drew, "The Gambling Flower" made her a lot of good reviews, so why don't we get her upstairs again? Just think of it as buying a favor.

Anyway, the prize is going to happen sooner or later. Don't worry, it's just the beginning. Adrian took the steering wheel to another street. When he thought of Monica, he couldn't help but feel a little shaky.

While spending most of these weeks with Kate, there's been a lot of meeting with her at Monica's, whether it's Kate's youth or Monica's enthusiasm, making her extra fascinating and wondering when she'll be able to enjoy both. Oh, and Julia, those five days of wild leaks are also very memorable, and it takes a lot of work to get her completely.

Adrian parked his car on the side of the road not far from his destination, stretching a lazy waist and growing out of breath. But it won't be too difficult because this year's goal is almost two-thirds complete, so long as everything goes well in a few months, then...

In order to achieve that goal, he had planned it from the beginning, spending not only a lot of time, but also a lot of energy. One can only see his great success this year because of three films. One can only see Golden Palm gained through the Low Volume Novel. One can only see the reversal of people's impression of his cult director through the Smell the Incense Woman. One can only see how disgraceful the questioned Englishman has been through the Howard Manor, but not his hard work and pressure behind it.

Just succeed, don't fail. Adrian put this pressure on himself because he believed he would never fail. It is precisely because of this pressure and conviction that he completed three classic films in the shortest possible time and reproduced them almost authentically, thus fulfilling his plan - and * * * is indeed a good way to relieve the stress.

In short, once you have achieved your goals, you will not have to be so tired next year, so that you will have more time to do something else. Adrian's fingers knocked on the steering wheel. As I have said many times, it is still necessary to say that everything has just begun.

At this point, the co-pilot's window sounded a knock, and Adrian put away his mind and opened the door to each other with a smile.
