King of Hollywood

Chapter 186: Best Director

“Very touching message, dear.” When Gwyneth returned to her seat, Adrian grabbed her hand and said softly, "Your father will be proud of you in heaven. ”

“Thank you, Ed, I love you.” Calm down, but some teary-eyed women look at him with gratitude.

“Yes, I love you too.” Adrian smiled and kissed her on the cheek.

Gwyneth then opened some incredible eyes, this was a public place, and it was the Oscar Awards Ceremony! Blanchett on the other side had some flavor to hold the lip line and stretched out his leg to kick it down on his calf. Adrian doesn't care, it's just a reward for Gwyneth, and the message she just gave, in someone else's ear, was that she was remembering her father, and in Adrian's ear, she was saying goodbye to him.

Besides, he is the boss of ABC, the camera will not turn to him at this time, plus the best male lead is being issued, and kissing is within normal range.

“Well, the most important moment is coming, but let's focus on the stage.” Adrian said, tapping lightly on Gwyneth and Blanchett's thighs.

The next is naturally the best director, and as an award for shafting with the best films, like the best male and female protagonists, it makes many people sad and happy every year. However, Adrian was not very concerned because he had a nomination, and although he had a nomination, he had not worked hard in public relations. He didn't expect to get it either. The conservatism of the Academy cannot be seen too high or too low, and it is neither in his plan nor in his interest to have the best director now.

But if you don't take it yourself, someone can, and PR resources are spent on it. Not only that, but it also triggered a lot of connections and relationships, even though it's also an unknown number, which is the least certain gamble Adrian had on Oscar, after all, it's history making.

“Oh, my God. I didn't expect history to come from me!” As a guest of honor Robert? Zemigis grows up and shouts, and he stands still for almost a few seconds before announcing out loud: “This is an unprecedented moment, Lost in Tokyo, Sofia? Corpora! ”

Unlike imagination, the whole scene was silent, and whoever it was, including Sofia herself, was staring at the stage. Like you don't know, Sophia? Coppola is someone. But in the next second, all sorts of amazing moments erupted, and the whole scene seemed to drip into the oil pot, and the crackling exploded. This was Oscar's first best female director ever! And so young!

Sophia opened her eyes and couldn't believe her mouth, and then looked around a little blindly, seemingly looking for someone to tell herself. It was her dream. Several other post-candidates, with the exception of Adrian, showed undisguised shock and disappointment, and the Academy preferred to hand over the best director to a woman rather than to them. This is outrageous.

Martin Scorsese was the hardest hit, he sat still, his smile solidified on his face, and when Zemigis said, "I didn't expect history to come from me," he was ready to get up, but he didn't expect it to end like this. After all, before that, he was confident that he didn't have enough advantages like this one.

Sophia is a woman, young, and can be ruled out first; then Adrian, who takes the best director from unreal films, as never before. Although the miracle director is good at miracles, don't forget that there's another Ring King next year; as for Rob? Marshall and Stephen? Dadley. They're too inexperienced to count the pieces with one finger, and neither Chicago nor Moment has reached the height of The American Beauty, trying to reproduce Sam? The miracle of Mendez is not easy.

Against Scorsese himself. He's with Francis? Corpora, George? Lucas, Steven? Spielberg, dubbed the top four directors of Hollywood in the '80s, has done countless great work and should have had a little golden man long ago. Faced with this situation, he is naturally confident, just never expected, the most unlikely person becomes possible, or the daughter of a director who was named after himself, how can he accept it!

Adrian, sitting in his seat, whispered softly, and it turned out that Old Coppola spent more time on her daughter than he expected. Adrian alone could not push Sofia onto the throne of the best director. After all, she was a woman and it was not easy to break the fetters of a relatively conservative cinema academy, so Adrian struck Old Coppola from the beginning.

Of course, he didn't come out directly, but let the people down there lobby for old Coppola. But after all, the old man started filming in the '60s, how could he not tell who was behind it, even though he didn't have much interest in Adrian —— probably the older Hollywood generation, with his daughter in the entertainment world, or the director, who didn't have much interest in Adrian.

But it's not like Sofia couldn't have done anything without the PR support of AC Media, until old Coppola was hesitant to ask for her daughter, and it wasn't easy for a female director to come forward, and it was even harder to get the best director. Jane, who directed Piano Class in '93? Campion, currently recognized as the closest female director to this honor, unfortunately encountered Spielberg, who pinched the Schindler List.

But it's not impossible to create a miracle with the support of a powerful figure, coupled with his accumulated connections. He hated to seduce his daughter Adrian, but he had to admit that Adrian had a great role to play by being able to achieve today, to stand up from the shadow of failure, and to shine in another way. So when there were more lobbyists, he finally made up his mind.

“... I really didn't think I'd be able to go anywhere again tonight, and it's a historic moment, and, oh, God, I've said all my messages before.” The excitement of Sofia's incessant speech, several times with a little crying, was so big that she could barely bear it.

“I… I… I…” she “I” have not been able to say the full words on several occasions, and it is a good thing that I applaud her very carefully below.

“… I think I… thank you no more," Sofia finally adjusted, "in addition to awarding this award to my college, besides the collaborators, there are two people I would most like to thank, my father. Without him there is no present... then Adrian, thank you for your guidance and advice... this is my happiest evening and I will always remember. ”

Luckily she didn't say anything like "I want to thank the two men who are most important to me in life” or “I'll always remember what you did for me", which relieved Adrian somewhat, although it caused a while of discussion, at least not so much headache.

To speak, he also deserves Sofia's gratitude, knowing that she can get the best director, despite a number of factors. Adrian and Old Coppola, for example, joined forces to use all kinds of resources and connections for her PR - although AC Media's PR goals were primarily focused on Gwyneth, it was much easier than previous Nicole or Monica, so assigning her something would be fine.

Then there was a little bit of luck - Adrian had learned from his own channel that the award for Best Director had generated a lot of controversy within the College, and that the College was working to rejuvenate itself. Trying to keep up with the trend, so with their constant urination, I'm sure the final votes are very close.

But most importantly, Adrian had already broken the record of Oscar's youngest best director nomination, as well as the record of the youngest best director winner! Without Adrian. So, 24-year-old John with the best directorial nomination? Singleton will be the youngest nominee, and Norman, 32, the Oscar's best director? Taurog is the youngest winner.

Now Sophia and then Norman? Taurog was a few days younger, and without Adrian, the Academy wouldn't let a woman break that record. That's right. That's discrimination, invisible but real, even if you want to file a complaint.

So it would not have been possible if Adrian hadn't raised the record of the best director winner to a point where it was basically impossible for anyone to go beyond it, while at the same time being the record holder of the best director nomination, no matter how hard it took for Sofia PR.

This year's Oscar has come to an end, and the first best female director is amazing enough. Not to mention the fact that Chicago gets the best movie in the world, which has to go backwards.

But the awards ceremony is over, but the party is just beginning, and Adrian has basically never been absent from the awards ceremony, and naturally will not be absent from the Fame Fair party. Besides, the party is not an award ceremony, and those who did not attend it can do so. Of course, those who attended the award ceremony are not necessarily going to attend the party, such as Scorsese, which is too sad for him this evening.

Nor did the old plotter attend. Although Adrian had invited him, he had full hope, but had not won any awards. Plus, he was not accustomed to American party culture, so he declined.

“I'm a little tired and want to go back to rest.” At the end of the award ceremony, he said in the presence of Adrian, who had invited him.

But that doesn't mean that he admitted defeat and quickly revived his spirit: “I'm working on a new martial arts production recently, the first draft has been completed, and some ideas have been concretized. If you're interested, Mr. Corwell, come to China and we'll all welcome your guidance. ”

New martial arts production? Adrian picked a slight eyebrow. If it weren't for the accident, it would have been the little sister who would never have died. Hiddenly, however, it is remembered that although the film is more devalued than praised in China, North America still seems to get a better box office than Heroes. After all, the old plot is quite brilliant in the rendering of the images and the use of the colors and lenses.

“Well, I also have a plan to go to East Asia...” Adrian nodded, he does have this plan, Facebook is currently working well and is about to surpass 100 million users.

Although the same types of websites will soon emerge, websites like Facebook are not difficult to create. But Adrian didn't pay attention, he went to see it, he did okay, but it's very much like myspace, which was named after the past life and Facebook, where people are free to apply for an account as much as they want.

There's no threat, you know, the biggest thing about Facebook is that the person across the network who communicates with users is a living person, not someone's... vest.

Simply put, there won't be that kind of, "Builder, you're so naive, do you really think there are so many people in this forum replying to your posts? Actually, I came back alone, otherwise I'll send you the same ID”. And to rob users more than Facebook? Taking the lead and cultivating loyal users, as well as the support of large media groups, can't be that easy.

So Adrian figured he could start promoting it in China with another vest, of course. Still work with Huayi, if they want, and call it the Internet of All. Besides that, he has other things, such as Scorsese being so pathetic tonight. Give him some compensation, by the way. Keeping the rhythm in your hands does not affect your grand plan.

But then he thought of one thing: "By the way, I heard that China hasn't seemed very safe lately. ”

The old plot beamed, took about a few minutes to react, and then categorically rejected: “There are some special cases. But it's perfectly normal. ”

Adrian was going to say something else. According to his friend, but think about it. You don't necessarily appreciate other people, so forget it, though. I'm afraid the trip will be postponed until the second half of the year.

As lively as ever, celebrities big and small adorn it every time, most notably, of course, the best fresh director, this is Oscar's first female director, and still so young, everyone who witnessed this moment in person will be honored in the future.

“I really don't know what to say to you, Ed. You are such a...” Sofia sighed when she faced Adrian alone after dealing with many people.

“What is it?” Adrian picked the eyebrows.

“You know what I'm going to say, asshole, genius, dude...” Sofia made a gesture, flashed a complicated look in his eyes, and then shook his head: “I really want to punch Nicolas, think about his previous eyes, and the look on that hippie smile, I swear, if he hadn't slipped fast, just say one more word, I would definitely give him a good look. ”

“Okay, Sophie, okay,” Adrian grabbed her hand and patted it gently on her back, "I know what you're thinking, don't worry, do whatever you want. ”

Sofia stopped, and she deliberately kept her long, soft hair on her shoulders and a sophisticated dress with a wavy pattern in inky green, which gave her an alternative hard-on look and a great flavor.

“I'm scared.” She whispered.

“What,” Adrian smiled, “do I look like a man-eater? ”

“If only it were.” Sophia sighed, "I'm afraid of you, Ed, if you're not going to let anyone go, that person will not struggle out. You always have a way of dealing with women, making them... willingly...”

She smiled and looked at him frankly.

“If I told you to stay with me," Adrian touched her face with his hand, “what would you give me? ”

“I don't know, Ed, I guess a lot of women don't either.” She replied honestly.

“So you see,” Adrian laughed, "do whatever you want. ”

Sofia looked at him for a long time and suddenly smiled, then stood up and sat on his thigh, reaching around his neck and kissing him in the mouth. The kiss was not warm, but it was a long breath, and it took a long time to break apart after being entwined by warm emotions.

“I know I'm not your type, and I know what you like about me, but it's still nice to meet you,” Sophia's fingers crossed his lips, "thank you for the gift, Ed. I'll never forget you in my life. Goodbye. ”

Said she got up and left, but didn't walk two steps back, dumped her hair and said in a very natural tone: "By the way, if I need to find you to solve my physiological problems in the future, don't refuse me. ”

“Well... I'd be happy to help you.” Adrian raised his hands with a smile. Well, that's good too.

Although in the corner, the intimacy between Adrian and Sofia is not unseen, but nobody cares, as he then continues to do with the Miracles * *, which is already normal in people's eyes. Perhaps they would be very jealous, but basically they are no longer jealous, and whoever holds up the actress for five consecutive years to get the best Actress in the Oscars is fully qualified for their favor.

However, Adrian is proud, but also troubled. After all, there are more than just miracle girls, Scarlett, Annie, Kirsten, etc., who come and talk to him on a rotating basis. Kate, Sarah, they're not so proactive, but in fairness, he has to go and find them. Until then, he had avoided all women appearing in the same public place, but now it seemed that perhaps some adjustments should be made.

Tonight, for example, because the passion at each award ceremony was different under the default rules, and the combination of individuals was different, it was unfortunate that Zeta Jones, who had won the best female lead, and Gwennis, who had won the best female lead, could not moan under him.
