King of Hollywood

Chapter 154: Lucas and the Industrial Light Demon

As in previous practice, the nomination list for the 50th Film Golden Globe Awards was released on the day of December 19, and most people were surprised to see the Bosworth Film Industry take the lead. Basically, three films from the Bosworth Film Industry, with the exception of comedy, song and dance films and special awards.

Best Film, Best Director, Best Screenwriter, Best Male and Female Leader… Even "Fragrant Woman" and "Howard Manor" are nominated for the best film at the same time, so that some believe that if he produces a comedy film or a foreign language film, he will be nominated as well. And this, naturally, refers to the director and producer of the three films, known as Adrian, the genius director? Corwell.

Such remarks must not be exaggerated, not to mention his previous films, but the three pieces shown this year alone are enough to be eye-catching. Get Gold Palm and Collect 100 Million Box Office Low Novels in North America; Jean Al? Pacino performs swiftly and turns herself around only making the impression of a cult-inspired film, "The Fragrant Woman"; and "The Howard Manor," which makes the British mute.

Especially at the end of the day, this little movie actually got 30 million boxes in North America. It's still pushing 40 million. The media is even shouting. Even a movie that obviously loses money can make a lot of money if it comes out of his hands. If these three movies come out of three hands that are not directors in the same year, or from the same director's hand in different years, it's no big deal, but it's now preferred to be produced by the same director in the same year... frankly, this kind of thing hasn't happened again in Hollywood.

So it's normal to get so many nominations for the Golden Globe Awards, and it's also normal to get this kind of review, but people need time to digest this reality. After all, it's the first time someone's done this, and a reporter from the Los Angeles Times wrote, “Maybe the magic director can change his name, how about a miracle director? ”

Of course, this term is largely just shuddering and tweaking, and the Golden Globe Awards, though they do have some weight, are not as good as the Oscars. But the Golden Globe Award is also one of Oscar's several wind signs, so many people are curious to know what happens when the Oscar nomination list comes out more than a month later.

So many journalists are chasing Adrian to hear how he feels about winning so many Golden Globe nominations and how he looks at Oscar. But Adrian always fought with them at Tai Chi, either in empty words and in plain words, or simply didn't say anything. Because he has a lot to do, like attend a movie premiere.

“Hey, Sandy, how you doing? You look good. ”

“Wow, beautiful Mrs. Pullman, you're getting pretty, amazing. ”

“It's good to see you, Mr. Andrews. Oh, don't mention that golf. It's terrible. ”

Through the bustling crowd, Adrian came to the center of the theatre's former lobby, greeting people he knew. The reason we have this big position and so many guests is because the upcoming film is the Jurassic Park, which took over 60 million dollars to produce.

After watching the sample, Universal, which had contributed a third of its funds and was responsible for distributing it, immediately decided to hold a massive premiere for publicity, and this is what happened.

“It's a shame you weren't there, Ed, when the Dragon first appeared, and they were still breathless, but they got stunned right after the Dragon came out.” A middle-aged man standing next to a flower table near the bar said, "He has a light beard, fluffy hair without mess, thick and thick eyebrows, his eyes are always squeezed into a line, it would be very dignified if he stayed calm, but once he laughed, he was a little cute.

“You shouldn't have said that to me, George, I've already begun to regret it.” Adrian cooperated to reveal his defilement and suddenly made the middle-aged man laugh.

The middle-aged man who led Star Wars and founded the famous industrial beacon, the famous George? After completing the Jurassic Park shoot and basically planning the rest of the work, Lucas leaves it to his best friend Lucas, who then finds Adrian to prepare the Schindler List and quickly travels to Poland.

Even now, almost Christmas, he stayed in Krakow to shoot, so Lucas, who was responsible for most of the late production, replaced him at the film premiere.

“It's okay, it's about to premiere, you'll see it soon.” Lucas Haha patted him on the shoulder with a smile.

“You know, George, I've heard a lot of people say that you're a very serious and insincere laugher, but it wasn't until I saw you today that I knew those rumors were unreliable.” Adrian said so.

“Actually, in a way, these statements are also true. I am strict at work, but it would be boring to say the same.” Lucas shrugged his shoulders and watched him change the subject: “Let's talk about you, Ed. How you feeling lately? You're the most popular director in Hollywood right now. What did the press say you were? Even..."

“Let's not talk about it, George,” Adrian laughed bitterly, "and I'm now thinking about what the next movie is going to produce to replenish the current overdraft. ”

“Would you be so worried?” Lucas Haha laughed and followed the thought of something interesting, “What's your new idea? Are we going to make another crazy new movie? ”

“No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.” Adrian shook his head and led the conversation elsewhere: “By the way, George, are you sure you don't want to make a sequel to Star Wars? If you don't think about the sequel, how about the prequel? We must not remain disappointed. ”

They just kept changing the subject, and Lucas looked happy with Adriana's untouched compliments. It took him almost a dozen minutes to get ready to leave, but Lucas patted him on the shoulder again and said in the foreword, “Thank you, Ed, you did a great job. ”

Adrian stared at the phone. But looking at Lucas' face with a sincere look quickly reacted, smiling modestly: “It's nothing, Steven. That's what he should be praised for. ”

“Don't be so modest, Ed. Steven told me everything you've done. No one can do better than you. He's been running around for the movie, and as an old friend, I'm glad someone helped him achieve his wish.” Lucas said seriously, "If it wasn't for the premiere, I'd buy you a drink and thank you very much. ”

“There will be an opportunity," Adrian said of what he remembered, "I have been busy with my own business, but I have been following the Polish side, listening to the staff over there say that Steven's mental state does not seem to be very good. ”

“Yes,” Lucas confirmed, “his voice sounded impotent when I spoke to him on the phone. It's not surprising that just thinking about going through the original tragedy again through the camera would be chilling, and for Steven it would be an untouchable ordeal. ”

“I can imagine," Adrian nodded sympathetically, "so maybe after Christmas and New Year we could go to Poland together to see him. ”

Lucas touched his chin for a few seconds and nodded: “That's a good offer, I'll think about it. ”

“So that's it," Adrian made a gesture to leave, "I'll be in touch when I can. ”

“Okay, call me if you need anything.” Lucas waved with a smile.

George Lucas. Adrian walked into the crowd and said the name, and a smile appeared in the corner of his mouth. Is this the first benefit of investing in Schindler's List? And of course, for a long time to come, industrial light demons are the biggest special effects base in Hollywood, even after the 21st century. Lucas' directorial work, though modest, built enormous connections with it, not to mention the fact that he was a Jew.

Shaking her head gently, Adrian shifted her attention around to find Kate's figure. Because they didn't want to be grabbed by reporters and asked, they entered the front hall of the theater through the side door. After finding Lucas and climbing with him, Kate left step by step, consciously unable to penetrate his mouth.

“There are so many people.” Adrian sighed helplessly at the crowd of people in the front room, and it was not easy to find Kate in this situation, but he was still trying to find her because Monica had come to the premiere, and he had clearly seen Kate and Monica walking together not far away when he had previously talked to Lucas.

Adrian was not worried about what kind of conflict they would have, and Monica would attend the premiere of Jurassic Park precisely because he personally called and implied in his words not to refuse. So, Adrian would like to know more about the clash between the knowing Monica and the unknowing Kate.

He's not worried, Kate's gonna find out anyway. And it's kind of a small experiment, isn't it?

Unfortunately, there are so many people in the front hall that Universal seems to be reluctant to bring the entire Hollywood celebrities together. There are just a few familiar producers all the way down, not to mention the directors and actors who have a one-sided edge, just to say hello and chill out his mouth.

“You guys can really run. Where the hell have you been?” Adrian paused before and after walking to a cylinder, looking around and shrugging funny. Then a warm body crashed into his arms.
