King of Hollywood

Chapter 184: Best Female Matches

"White Clamped Bamboo Peaches" was released on March 12, because it was a literary film with a poor slot and few exhibitors, so there was not a lot of box office, but about the same as the original version, it had a pretty good reputation. Both Amanda's daughter and Kate's final suicidal adoptive mother were praised by film critics, not only for Amanda's potential, but also for showing Kate a completely different performance style than actress stars.

As for Julia, it's her first time in this hateful, crazy, yet pathetic female role, so the comments are somewhat polarized. Some believe that she has accurately grasped the character characteristics of the character, that the previously independent and autonomous sweetheart image has begun to fix, and that it is good for her to expand her theatre by daring to try new characters; but some believe that her transformation has failed and is too hard to interpret, not only failing to achieve the desired results, but also engaging the reputation accumulated over the past few years.

The same number of people on both sides, who couldn't convince anyone, indirectly brought Julia back to the public in a new way. That's why Adrian had the White Bamboo Peach slot slotted at this time, and Julia had been completely out of the press for almost two months, and the popularity she had accumulated before that was likely to start to spill out on a massive scale, if she was going to play a movie in the future.

So Julia, who was working on her postnatal recovery campaign, needed a film like this that aroused memories of her through debate.

In fact, it's no big deal. The White Clamped Bamboo Peach was initially positioned as a work of art. So you don't need a lot of expensive box office, you just need to recover the cost, the key is the reputation. Julia's opinion, though divided into two pieces, was not so extreme that Kate, the foster mother, went to jail to visit Julia, the mother of the living, and the scene was very well placed.

That feeling was hard to describe in ink, and the emotions weren't very intense, but Kate and Julia, they all blended in and passed that feeling on to the audience.

“The best shot of the whole movie.” That's what the Hollywood Report says.

Of course, nobody knows except Adrian. How can two women wipe out such a spark and then convey their emotions very well in place?

“It seems that even if such a show is arranged in the future, it would be better not to go to the scene during the shooting.” Adrian whispered.

“Hmm?” snuggled Amanda in his arms lifted there.

“Nothing,” Adrian chuckled, turning over the newspaper in his hand, "you didn't disappoint me, Amanda. I like the phrase 'has a lot of potential'. ”

“It's good to have your approval, Ed.” Amanda smiled and looked happy, sincerely.

Adrian, though not explicitly stated, told her that she wanted to remain in Adrian's mind for a long time. Strength is an important factor, both in bed and under bed, in addition to doing everything for him to make himself more visible to the public.

“Should I say congratulations?” Kirsten, who cut this apple next to him, asked with a smile.

“Of course, Amanda said you helped her a lot.” Adrian laughed with disgrace.

But the fairy doesn't care at all. Despite their similarities, Kirsten had been around Adrian for years, not worried that Amanda would steal her head, so he quickly reached an agreement with her and formed a defensive alliance. Amanda is also a smart person, knowing that she is short, so the two of them fit together. Frequent exchanges of ideas took place last night in Adrian.

“Well, congratulations, Ed, and congratulations, Amanda.” Kirsten said, putting the chopped flesh in his mouth, then putting it in front of Adrian and pushing it in with his tongue after kissing his mouth.

Adrian frowned. Just to compliment her, Amanda's lips came together again, clogged her and snagged the flesh out of his mouth with her tongue and ate it.

“Hey, this is from Kiki.” Adrian was dissatisfied.

“But at the same time, she congratulated us on our succession.” Amanda curled her eyes and laughed, “If you're not satisfied...”

Kirsten over there immediately cut another piece like that in his mouth and crossed it into Amanda's mouth, which Amanda put into Adrian's mouth.

“You guys really enjoy playing this trick.” Adrian sighed, but clearly wrote “Satisfied” between his eyebrows, so the apple was then fed.

“Speaking of, it's Oscar's award ceremony again soon, and when did Ed get Amanda to try it on the red carpet,” he said, talking about the award ceremony immediately.

Amanda lowered her head and coughed softly, no doubt it was Kirsten trying to get her a chance, but would it be a little early to say this? Although the two men fit together in one beat, they did not reach the point where they were completely open to each other, and she naturally did not know that Kersten depended on her. Besides, Kersten was not just trying to help her.

“There was a lot of fun at the awards ceremony.” So Kristen looked at Adrian, and his eyes glistened with a deep glow, "and I kept smelling it, like I was doing it again. ”

“Don't be paranoid, Kiki,” Adrian laughed, reaching out and hanging from her nose, "to line up, it's your turn - don't worry, Amanda, there's a chance, take your time. ”

Amanda was slightly disappointed, but she adjusted quickly, and she was patient, and as for what Kirsten said about fun, oh, you can guess without thinking about it.

“Also," Adrian thought of something and laughed again, "Kiki, I'm afraid no one can walk the red carpet this year. ”

“Why?” Kirsten was a little confused.

“Soon you'll see the news.” Adrian, open your hands.

This Oscar is different from previous years. This year, the Faculty of Cinematography and Science does not intend to carry out large-scale propaganda, even the practice of red carpets has been abolished, as the Bush administration is about to use force against Iraq in the next few days.

Hollywood has always been a leftist gathering place, and there has never been a shortage of people who dislike the government, and Christo made a relentless mockery when he presided over the Oscars after the previous Clinton zipper door incident. If there was a good reason for hitting Afghanistan before, but hitting Iraq again would be a little far-fetched. The reason for weapons of mass destruction is so lame that most of Hollywood's stars, big and small, stand on top of the anti-war flag.

Unfortunately. These are futile, and what the government and the interests behind it are determined to do will never change because of their opposition and that of the Americans.

But for Adrian, that's a good thing, at least avoiding being questioned by journalists about the war on the red carpet - a few times before that, even though he was a miracle director on the red carpet, his status as chairman of the AC Media Board could never be erased. If the words are misled by the heart, there will inevitably be some negative reactions. Although Adrian is very good at talking gorgeous but useless nonsense, this is something that every public figure must have, but how to understand it is the audience's business.

Although until now he had severed both identities, he was basically a director and producer in the face of the public, and only in the office was he chairman of the board of directors. But it's like two sides of a coin, maybe not in front of you at the same time, but it's always there. Of course, no journalist dares to make a leading implication in the story, which is tantamount to declaring war on the AC media. But there's a little bit of trouble in the internet, like someone trying to teach him a lesson, or a little bit of a test, and you can't stop journalists from asking questions, can you? Even if he doesn't say anything and turns around, he can have a lot of things interpreted.

So it's good for him not to take the red carpet.

It's just that, if someone's happy about it, someone's lost it, like ABC, who broadcasts the award ceremony, and complains about it. Although Oscar has always been one of several programmes with very high ratings, there has also been a recent downward trend, with the scaling down of propaganda and the removal of red carpets, as well as the imminent outbreak of the war in Iraq, it is conceivable how far the ratings will go.

Other than that. As the first director of mainland China to attend the Oscar Awards Ceremony, he was dressed up and looked very spiritual in a Zhongshan costume. However, the stage of best demonstration of one's personality was cancelled, if not depressed, absolutely impossible. But his attitude was good, and when I met him at the Koda Theatre, his face was faint. Anyway, the honor of Oscar, the director of the mainland, belonged entirely to him.

This Oscar is chaired by Steve, a 73-year-old Oscar comedian? Martin, I think the Academy thinks he's doing well, so I invited him again.

Frankly, Martin did a great job, funny and humorous, and the laughter in the lobby, though not loud, never stopped. However, the atmosphere of this session was slightly more condensed, basically, even the female stars who had always fought for the awards ceremony had changed into evening gowns that were close to black or white. In this case, it would be strange if the atmosphere on the scene could be as warm as usual.

“Actually, it would be nice to have me sit in the chair honestly for at least a few hours.” After the Best Art Instruction was issued, the front, back and forth sounded neat.

Because the seats in his various drama groups, especially Demon Head and Ring King 2, were directed by him, plus a Chicago, Gwennis sat on his right, Blanchett on his left, Liv on his back, and Zeta Jones on his front. As for Naomi, she's a little far away, but very close to Nicole in "The Sin of Infidelity." Clooney.

Of the four women, only Liv had not come to the awards ceremony with him, but she had lived with Blanchett and Gwyneth for so long, and Adrian had already gotten her hands on it. How could she not have heard of it, so hearing it also naturally hummed out with the other three.

Adrian could only shrug her shoulders with laughter and sigh in her heart about their reaction. I don't know who arranged the seats like this. It must have been intentional.

“Well, let's keep an eye on the awards list.” He immediately shifted the subject, "you know," Heroes "is a Chinese film that I insisted on investing in and introducing, so guess if I can get the best outfit. ”

Since Globe purchased the North American copyright to Heroes, it was not limited to the best foreign language films at the time of filing, so in addition to this nomination, it was accidentally nominated for the best costume. It was truly an accident, and Adrian was not involved in all the declarations. It can only be said that they have better luck - at least better than the original, and although it is almost impossible to win a prize, there are two that are always more commendable than just one.

Sure enough, Chicago got the best costumes and the best art instruction before, and Weinstein was a good PR guy, and Chicago got 13 nominations, even more than Ring King 2. Not only that. Even Depp, who was a star in The Pirate of the Caribbean, was nominated by him for being the best actor! If Chicago hadn't been more likely to win the award, he might have pushed the Caribbean Pirate nomination for the best film.

When the guests on stage read their names, Zeta Jones' shoulders in front were clearly shrugged, and so far Chicago has won three awards. Though all technical, it also gives the group morale, and the next issue is the best female character.

“I must say, every nominee is a very good woman, Kathy? Bates-- oh. You're willing to be a companion. You already have too much honor. You too, Meryl? Miss Streep, don't laugh. Pollit? Nice work, Lawrence. Pretty good. Catherine? Zeta Jones. Oh, it's so short, but your performance is amazing; Sophie? Marcel, one of the most beautiful French women, has a refreshing image in Moment! I really don't know who to vote for.” Steve? Martin exclaimed loudly on stage, "That's why I couldn't preside over the polls. ”

Suddenly, there was a laugh, then. As usual, Jim, the winner of the awards? Bradburnt walked out the back with an envelope.

“I agree with Steve," he said, "and he came out and he made a lot of laughter," but that's how we got a great host. ”

And then the applause went off, and Martin was there with him, "I love you, Jim, just a few more words. ”

“Although I have been asked to say a few more words, and I would like to say a few more, for the sake of more people, let me do what I have to do.” Bradburnt didn't lose to Martin at all, and then he opened the envelope in a laugh: "Okay, so the winner of the Oscar's best actress is Catherine? Zeta Jones! ”

Then the Chicago orchestra went off, and Zeta Jones stood up for seconds, even though Adrian had revealed something to her earlier. The first time she held her face with her hands, her body trembled slightly. It seemed that she could not help but be excited. Only Adrian knew that she had taken this opportunity to look at him. No matter how much she had the opportunity, at this moment there was nothing but a thankful look in her eyes.

“Thank you very much...” Zeta Jones, who controlled her emotions, began her speech after accepting congratulations on the stage and taking over the little Goldman from Bradburnt.

The whole message has nothing to say, basically thanks to the past for coming, some formula. This is also normal, in this atmosphere of awards ceremony, where several previous winners ended their speeches with a call for peace, and where else could Zeta Jones be asked to go? And her message was filled with emotions, first by reflecting on the nominations she had received over the years to express her excitement, then by thanking the Academy of Cinema, her family, and the entire Chicago crew - interestingly, for not having Adrian's name on the list.

In short, the formula is not very sudden, and unlike in previous life, she is not pregnant, she is still bright and well maintained. Adrian has deliberately designed a method for her finger care. Although she cannot compare with other women with long fingers, she is much better than in previous life.

So after a speech, she won a lot of applause.

“Congratulations, Kate, you finally got your wish.” When she came back and sat down with the people around her, Adrian leaned forward slightly and whispered behind her head.

“You wouldn't mind if I didn't add your name to the thank you list just now.” When the lens on the screen moves elsewhere, Zeta Jones deflects half his head. Although the white goose neck is slightly wrinkled, it is still full of mature women's charm, and he is wearing a tuxedo with shoulders on his chest and evening dress. If you look a little further forward, you can see the deep gutter below - although the color can't be too bright, the styles and everything are completely unlimited.

“No, of course not.” Adrian smiled and sat back.

The excitement gradually calmed down after she got the Golden Man, and she reverted to what she used to be. Despite just giving Adrian a half-side, the complexity of the divine color clearly flashed over her face.

Adrian wasn't in a hurry, he had patience, and now, having promised her, she had got what she wanted most, what she thought, how could he not have guessed?
