King of Hollywood

Chapter 281 begins all over again.

“Good afternoon, audience. Welcome to ABC's Oscar Awards Ceremony special. Jerry speaking? Madison, live for you at the Kodak Theatre. As you can see in front of the TV, the tall little Goldman statue has, as always, been erected outside the theater, and although there are not many guests on the red carpet, the atmosphere has begun to show up. ”

“Ha, see who I see, our old cowboy Clint? Eastwood, he doesn't usually come this early —— hey, Clint, how are you?".

“Good afternoon, Jerry. How unhappy to see you? ”

“Unhappy? Why? Because I want to hear the news from you?”.

“Isn't that why you say hello to me?".

“Ha, our old cowboy as usual series, then I also asked straight away, this is the best director you have nominated for two consecutive years. It has been 10 years since you last won this little golden man, do you think you will win again in the presence of strong enemies, especially two particularly powerful opponents?".

“Without a doubt, I'm not only going for the best director, I'm also going for the best film, I'm fearless! ”

“See, folks, this is our Clint? Eastwood, as brave and stubborn as ever, although I support my boss, I also support him - well, see who comes next...”

“Ladies and gentlemen, before you are the Phoenix brothers, the famous Rivan? Finisk and Jacques? Phoenix, the best male lead tonight is the strongest contender. Hey, Ralph, Jacques, look at this. It's Jerry. Jerry? Madison, I hope you remember me. ”

“Jerry? Madison? The chef at the Italian restaurant on Cedric Avenue? Since when did you change your career as a journalist? Well, I'm kidding. Hello, Jerry. Nice to meet you. ”

“Thank you, Jacques. Me too, especially seeing your brothers show up together. Oh, by the way, why didn't Prince Pokémon show up with you, and I'm sure there's more to the screams around him than that. ”

“He was worried that we'd robbed him, so he stayed behind - the truth is, he said he wanted me and Jacques to be the brightest people of the day, and he wanted to leave us time. ”

“What a shame, I still think he's better around you. So let's change the subject and be opponents in the same Oscar, who do you think will win? ”

“I don't know, I believe I can win, but Raven also believes I can win, so the results are still to be announced. ”

“Strange, why do I find that very familiar? ”

“Oh, sure, Ed talks to you a lot. ”

“Well, ladies and gentlemen, as you can see, this is one of the brightest groups of brothers at this year's Oscar Awards ceremony, and probably one of the most headaches in the Academy. It's such an excellence that whoever eventually gets the best lead is a pity to the other. ”

“Well, it's getting a little late, and there's more and more guests on the red carpet, passing Martin? Scorsese, Jamie? Fox, Leonardo? After DiCaprio, let's see who else deserves to come forward. Ha, I've found one, not the one I want most, but it's good-- hey, Natalie, look here, it's me, Jerry from ABC? Madison. ”

“Hey, Jerry, are you in charge of the story again this year? ”

“Yes, I like live coverage, especially Oscar's red carpet, and I can ask you a lot of questions, and you have to answer them, even if they're spreading - so are you ready?".

“Even if I said I wasn't ready, you'd ask, wouldn't you?".

“You're a Harvard high-calibre student, so I'm just asking, since the '71 Oscar in' 99, you've been nominated four times for the performance award, and this is the second time you've been nominated for the best actress, and you can tell me how you feel. ”

“Undoubtedly, it's exciting and exciting, no matter how many nominations you get, whether you've ever won an award or not, when you walk on a red carpet, there's no exception. ”

“A lot of people think you were fully eligible for the Winter Bones award, and now that you've been nominated again, how likely do you think you are to make up for that regret? ”

“Mmm...”

“Big, Natalie's strength, as you've all seen, I personally think she deserves to have a little golden man with the best actress. ”

“See, ladies and gentlemen, the great miracle director suddenly appeared beside Natalie and said good things to him, you know what that means? Hey, Ed, I didn't think you'd show up at this hour, seeing as you're so spirited and confident, I'm afraid you're already holding the ticket? ”

“That's not necessarily true, Jerry, I always say...”

“Before the last minute, you never know the end result - you always say that, Ed, can't you just change the line? How about something exciting for the audience? For example, predict the current Oscar. ”

“Sorry, Jerry, I don't have a crystal ball in my hand, so why don't you go find someone else. ”

“Hey, wait, Ed... well, he's always like that, he doesn't say anything in this situation, he keeps saying it in private. Don't ask me what he said privately, that's not what we're paying attention to today, or see who the next guest will be willing to take my question. ”

“I think ABC should change the person in charge of live reporting, Madsen will only have a few questions from beginning to end, whether you think you can win an award or how you feel now, all answered countless times, nothing new.” After entering the theater, Adrian, relieved, shook her head at Natalie, who came in with her.

“All journalists do so at this time.” Natalie answered with no expression.

Adrian raised her eyebrows and looked at her and suddenly laughed: “You're so serious, Nada. You smiled a little bit earlier, and now you don't look like the person who was nominated for the best actress. ”

“You look pretty sure.” Natalie looked up at him and bypassed the sentence.

“Of course, I've been paying attention, maybe not 100 percent, but the odds are enormous —— well, it looks like you probably don't want to talk to me too much right now, so I'll just go.” Adrian laughed softly, then stepped forward to the other side, looking at his back, and Natalie, who still had no expression, subconsciously bit her lip.

There are plenty of people in the lobby and it's a while before the formal opening, so a lot of people stay here for a little while and talk to people who are familiar or unfamiliar about pulling relationships.

“Frankly, I didn't think I'd get a nomination at first, and it was a really good role, and Professor Kinsey's books were deep, especially in that conservative era.” Nicole said to the people around her with a light smile, while hiding a glance at Adrian.

Despite the fact that she had already been eaten by him with his ribbons, Adrian still had the feeling of "swinging” in her heart, and Nicole in all her flavors was indeed an immaculate beauty. By contrast, Blanchett is another charm, her five-way line is slightly stiff, not very pretty, but with a temperament that keeps people out of sight.

“So I picked Kate at first glance, the tough style and Catherine? Hepburn is very similar and it would be perfect for her to play.” Scorsese praised and then glanced at Adrian, who had just arrived, though only once, and he could see the disconcerting feeling in his eyes.

After all, if Adrian hadn't gotten involved, he'd been on the throne of the best director the year before, and he'd been working on that for over a decade. Despite the fact that luck still accounts for a certain number of factors, and reliable news that he is close to Sofia's vote count, he will definitely get the little golden man without this guy stirring the rain in it.

This is outrageous, you know that Monica was able to get the best actress in the first place, and it had nothing to do with them Italians, even if it was an exchange of interests, but more or less a love affair, right?

But then again, so what? To this day, Adrian is already one of those people at the top of Hollywood's power, let alone now that Scorsese, even with one more Scorsese, is not necessarily his opponent, so he has to choose to ignore - he may not be able to dissapoint himself with him, but ignoring him is okay, just...

“Undoubtedly," Flyer "is an excellent film, no worse than any of today's nominations, Howard? Hughes is also a great genius, and if he can, he really wants to talk to him across time and space.” Adrian seized the opportunity to get into their conversation.

Suddenly, a few low laughter sounded, with a hint of ambiguity, and some daring eyes swept between him and Blanchett. After all, say something, Adrian and Howard? Hughes does have that kind of similarity, especially in terms of women, who are said to be the only front-line female stars of that era? Fontaine and Elizabeth? He didn't hook Taylor up. How similar is that?

“Thank you, I hope I get what I want today.” Scorsese said, not too salty.

“Maybe we'll have a chance to work together in the future, Martin,” Adrian seems to have missed his attitude, "I bought a movie adaptation right from Hong Kong, and I wanted to try new movie types about gangsters, but always lacked a feeling in many places, so I thought maybe you were the best fit. After all, in gang-themed films, you focus more on discovering those deep things and showing the real side than the romantic colors that old Coppola showed in Godfather, so that's why you're the master. ”

Compliments that everyone loves to hear, especially those that are very skilled, come from a population of higher status and status, even old men like Scorsese, who have seen many big winds, will still feel comfortable.

“Thank you,” he nodded politely, "there will be a chance, after all, you are a genius director. ”

I could tell Scorsese was trying, but Adrian didn't say much, laughed and said goodbye and walked inside, and Blanchette quickly chased him up: "Hey, Howard, what are you doing so fast? ”

“To catch up with you, Catherine.” Adrian answered with a smile and paused before saying: “It might be better to use Hepburn. Although Catherine spelled it differently, the pronunciation hardly makes any difference. ”

“I wish I had an Ava? Gardner comes out and he can break both your teeth.” Blanchett, walking beside him, groaned, gazing at the distant aisle: "Nicole was a good man, but you turned her into Betty? Davis. ”

Nearly everywhere she looked, Nicole was talking to Naomi in the aisle, and in addition to getting nominations for Natalie, Kersten, Blanchett, Nicole and Rachel this year, Kate, Sarah, Naomi, Gwyneth, Liv, Jessica, Annie, Amanda, Scarlett... almost all came along and even Charlize walked onto the red carpet for the first time as an ABC executive - she was on the cover of several business-related magazines last year and even interviewed by the famous Fortune.

Imagine what would happen on Oscar's red carpet in a few years.

“You can see from here that Hughes and I are still different, right?". Adrian smiled and suddenly lowered his voice after sweeping around: “You know what I want to do now, I'm going to press you on the ground...”

Blanchett always walked forward with a smile until Adrian and I split up for the Flyer crew and it didn't change, as if his yin obscenities didn't even exist. Of course, the red earlobes couldn't escape Adrian's eyes, and if this wasn't the Kodak Theatre, Oscar's awards ceremony, what would happen next?

Nicole was a good teacher, Blanchett was a good teacher, and the relationship between them was rare, even though Blanchett and Gwyneth and Liv were in the same group, and Nicole and Naomi were in the same group, but who made them both Australians? Even if Nicole was born in Honolulu.

Not to mention Nicole, all kinds of prostitutes and ji-girls, and neither of them enjoyed themselves. And for Blanchett, Adrian's favorite thing to do was to tear down the queen's arrogant appearance and throw it on the floor, even if she was the most excited when she was treated like this, and if she handed over the daisy flower quickly after going to bed for a long time without having to use her mouth, it wouldn't be hard to imagine being taught to do so.

Well, without that, Adrian soon came to his place after breaking up with Blanchett, and as always, Natalie, Jacquen, Rivan, Pete and Annie, Amanda and Kirsten were all in place. Looking around, Nicole, Rachel, Naomi have nominations, but they're all nearby, just like Blanchett —— Naomi doesn't have any nominations this year, but Vajra has been awarded a few technical prizes, so the seats are basically ahead, like Kate and they don't have any nominations, so they're going in the back, and some regular guests are going to have to sit on the second floor.

“Hey, Raven, you ready?".

“Jacques, the answer will soon be revealed. Have you placed a bet on yourself?”.

“You look beautiful today, Kiki. You too, Amanda. ”

Adrian greeted them in turn and walked to her place, but it wasn't Annie's turn.

“Don't be discouraged, Annie, you'll get a chance later.” He said with a smile, Annie nodded with a smile, and then, as she sat down, Adrian moved forward a little bit with a look of carelessness and lowered her voice to the lowest: "Inside?”.

“Inside…” Annie's body trembled slightly, but she kept smiling, "Anytime… anytime… can…”

“It's a shame they didn't invite you to be a guest of honor," Adrian raised his voice immediately, "especially when you were dressed so beautifully. ”

Annie's smile hasn't changed, just a little more fine sweat beads on the tip of her nose.

After Adrian was seated, the theatre hall soon darkened, and more than a decade later, with the music playing, the 77th Oscar Awards ceremony finally officially began, and then Billy was seen? Christo appeared on stage. Don't worry, he was dragged up, dragged up by the current Oscar host.

“Listen to me, Chris, listen to me, I'm not the host of this year, and you're not pulling me any good.” Christo pretended to be panicked.

“Oh, Billy, don't say that. If you weren't up there, I wouldn't know how to host.” Chris presiding? Tucker talked to each other. He was a black comedian. That's right. That guy from Chen's partner.

To be honest, Adrian doesn't like his style, even though the humble passages of his predecessors and current hosts make people laugh, and then the snippets of the best movie in the nomination are very funny - did Chris first neutralize Ray in Soul King? Charles sings, gets hit, and then goes to Clint in "Million Dollar Baby"? Eastwood asked for boxing, but by Hillary? Swank beat the crap out of him, tried to learn how to graze, became a cowboy, and was embarrassed to see the affectionate Raven and Pete, so he went to Howard? Hughes...

In short, he ran five of his best films with exaggerated body movements, making people laugh. Eventually, after everything failed, Chris exclaimed that there was only one host left, and this time he could never fail or fail, and then appeared on stage to get a round of applause.

That's a good start, but Adrian still insists, unless it's Will who presides over it? Smith. Anyway, Smith was born into a well-educated middle-class family, and the third view is more in line with the requirements of mainstream American society, as can be seen from his popularity, but Chris? Tucker… In short, black culture is never mainstream, so, in other words, in the words of a previous life - it's not discrimination - it's dog meat.
