King of Hollywood

Chapter 283: Dust Settling

When the situation calms down again, not to mention the next three important awards to be awarded, and when Adrian returns to his position, the applause is almost settled. Of course, one has to accept their congratulations, Cicada Oscar's best director has never done this before, and probably will not in the future. As a witness, they will naturally have the feeling of glory, even Natalie will look at him more.

But their attention soon returned to the stage, because of Sean? Pan has appeared in front of people, and the old rule is that the best male lead of the previous session will present the best female lead of the year.

“They play different roles, they attract our attention…" Sean? Pan did not hesitate to finish his opening remarks and introduced the candidate.

Frankly, Natalie doesn't have an edge, regardless of age, seniority, or the subject of the film. What impresses people, that is, four nominations in six years and Joan? Carter is about to die two years ago. Oh, and singing personally in the movies, but Hillary? Swank also gained weight for Million Dollar Baby and practiced boxing.

However, there are certain determinants of things that are not on here, so...

“Incredible, Natalie? Portman!” Sean? Pan announced loudly.

Undoubtedly, the scene was once again very noisy, knowing that she was only 23 years old, that the youngest winner was two years apart, and that she had been nominated for the best actress in 00 years, breaking the youngest nomination record. Although the record was broken in the second year, she was still the second young nominee and… the second young winner!

Natalie obviously has some unbelievable, very slow and hesitant to get up, almost everyone believes that Adrian, who has held the best female lead for six consecutive years, is unlikely to continue, and the college is generally unlikely to allow this to happen, even if the character is eligible to play Joan as Little Goldman - Natalie? Carter was recognized by Kash's children, and when she was called to the stage by Jacques to sing together in the movie, she was impressed by the unwillingness to sing while she was playing, and that's what was playing on the screen after the announcement.

Even though Natalie knew Adrian's methods, she would inevitably think so, and only God knew how to play with herself, so she had done her mind, but no one thought the record would go on.

“Thank you...” Natalie was Natalie after all, after walking down the aisle, she calmed down, and after going on stage, she regained her normal appearance, with excitement and excitement, without distinction from the average winner.

“Thanks to the Academy for awarding me the best actress I've ever wanted to be here, but I didn't expect it to be today, so... I wasn't even ready for a message. Well, thank you, Mama, for always supporting me unreservedly; thank you, Daddy, for understanding each other, although we rarely agree; thank you, Jacques, for your excellent work and hope you'll be here in a few minutes; thank you, Joan? Carter and her family, thank you for acknowledging and thank Joan for leaving so many inspiring songs; thank you to the crew, thank you to all who have helped me, this honor should belong to everyone... Thank you to Director Kowell, you are a very, very talented person, it is an honor to work with you, thank you!” Natalie bowed slightly with the little golden man, then clapped again.

No matter how surprised or dissatisfied you may be, even if tomorrow's public opinion may strike hard, the result will be irreversible, just as Adrian Cicada has joined the best directors.

“Congratulations, Nada.” When she returned, Adrian took the lead in reaching out, smiling Natalie beamed, and shook him: “Thank you. ”

Just before that, her smile came from the heart, but then there was an unspeakable rush. But Adrian didn't make it too hard for her, so she sat back and didn't even have a hug, leaving room for Jacques and the others.

This is the play, my dear Nada, but the end has been decided, just like my own plan, after tonight, the dust has settled, and all that's left is a push. Adrian smiled softly, put her eyes on the stage, and then frowned again.

Chris? Tucker, currently the worst host of the Oscar Awards Ceremony, began to chat again, and not only did he make some comments about the best male lead nominee. This was supposed to be a vibrant act, but he basically kept Jamie from beginning to end? Fox and the devaluation of the other four, though more covert, could be heard, basically saying that the Phoenix brothers were only on par with Fox.

In short, there is no justice at all, so that laughter is always so sparse that even Fox himself is a little embarrassed in the end. Well, this year's Oscar will undoubtedly be the worst, and the Academy will have to pinch its nose and admit that racial discrimination, or rather discrimination, is the exact minefield. And, of course, thanks to that, Adrian will be able to successfully implement his plan.

Tucker's nagging finally ended, and Sophie followed him on stage, so who can laugh at the end?

“The winner of the best male lead is Raven? Finisk!” Sophie first announced it.

Adrian picked out the eyebrows and laughed and clapped with the crowd, which was none of his business, and he didn't intervene in public relations, which was the college's choice and... luck.

“Thank you, thank you College, thank you...” I received a little excitement from Sophie's little Goldman, Raven Smile, and he was so gracious that he just said two words and rang another round of applause.

“Looks like you want more than your brother, you have to keep trying.” Adrian said in Jacques' ear.

“It's okay," Jacques sighed and shrugged, "Ralph was better than me, and my role in Ennis wasn't necessarily as natural as his, he came home with the best male lead. ”

Adrian smiled and patted him on the shoulder, which is true, Raven had a good reputation in the circle, people were always low profile, nothing to smell, so far Christine? Bell's an authentic girlfriend, and it's been going on for years. So, despite the huge wind caused by the near death of drug addicts, most of the people in the circle were on his side.

So, coupled with the fact that he got the best male actor in Venice at a young age, and that most of the characters in these years have been praised by film critics, and the support of powerful figures like Adrian, even if it was the first time he nominated Oscar, with the help of luck, he succeeded in climbing to the top.

The reason for the repeated mention of luck is that if "Never Before" and "Broken Back Mountain" were only partial in this session, Fox would be quite likely to be the third black shadow emperor. After all, he should have taken it from this movie, Ray? Charles' death last year brought the film to the forefront, and it was normal for the College to award the best male lead to Fox for certain reasons.

Unfortunately, for Adrian's sake, "Never Forward" and "Broken Back Mountain" were produced in advance. The former is also a biographical film of a legendary singer and has just passed away, so whoever the college gives the best male lead is not comfortable explaining the other side. And the latter, the emotions of the black community, are rarely taken into account without the emotions of the homosexual community? Also because of Adrian, homosexual organizations are making more noise, arguing with conservative groups throughout January of this year.

So, when the factors were combined, the film academy finally awarded the best male lead to Raven —— and of course, one more important factor was that…

“Best movie ever, Crash!” With Barbara? After Streisand recited the name of one of the last and most important awards of the current Oscar, the loud lobby rose again, even from the best director.

Thought it would be another miracle director's story, some people have even begun to wonder what tomorrow's public opinion will look like. I didn't expect that the best movie is not Broken Back Mountain. And what's even more surprising is that, at the same time, it's not "Million Dollars Baby" or "The Flying Man," a film made by some of the best directors, but an untold "Crash."

Well, it's inappropriate to say it by name, but why beat everyone to the best movie, even though Crash has some meaning and is definitely not as good as Million Dollar Baby and Flyer?!

Had it not been for sitting in the front row of the Koda Theatre Hall, Adrian would have had to laugh a long time ago, because it was he who caused the situation. The film Crash attended the Toronto Film Festival last September, but never found the right distributor and was noticed by Adrian.

Adrian would not be unaware of the potential of Crash as a "once” defeat to Broken Back Mountain, so he recommended it to Paramount. Nor did Paramount live up to his expectations by showing and distributing at the end of the year and succeeding in getting the best original script and… the best movie of the day!

Adrian's reason for doing this is simple: no matter how brilliant the scene in Broken Back Mountain is, and how many people are looking for it, it's impossible to get the best movie! Remember what I said before? America as a whole is still a conservative society, and if Broken Back gets the best movie, it is tantamount to mainstream society acknowledging that homosexuality is socially ethical and deserves a lot of publicity.

This is absolutely not possible. Despite the fact that gay people are increasingly campaigning for their rights after entering 21, and that several European countries and Massachusetts allow homosexual marriages, they are still marginalized relative to the mainstream of society, only closer to the centre than before. So mainstream society would never allow film colleges to send such signals, even if Hollywood homosexuals are not a minority, which makes no sense.

Adrian is a semi-public homosexual. That is, unless the College finds that the impact of awarding the best director to Adrian far outweighs the impact of awarding the best film to Broken Back Mountain.

After all, if Adrian was truly in a semi-public out-of-the-box state, would awarding the best director to such a genius, a media tycoon, the most powerful man in Hollywood, undoubtedly push him into the gay crowd to Martin? Luther Kim's location, then the chain reaction will definitely outweigh the award of the best film to Broken Back Mountain.

Unfortunately, however, Adrian is not only a homosexual, but also a famous Hollywood dude, and the phrase, "If you haven't slept with Adrian, you can't be charming” has been spreading throughout the circle. So the likelihood of Broken Back Mountain getting the best movie is infinitely close to zero, so it happens to be a deal, so the best director and the best actor fall into the hands of Adrian and Rivan, respectively.

In any event, the College must reassure gay organizations and the Broken Back Mountain must be rewarding. Even if there is little hope of getting the best film, if Adrian does do a massive PR campaign, it will inevitably be very troublesome for the college to clean up after the awards ceremony. So, instead of looking for the best movie as a chip, asking for support for the best director and the best male lead becomes a good deal.

And then there's public relations, fighting opponents at the same time - like the Internet media, which turned over Eastwood's complaints about gay people 20 years ago, and the old man, despite his arguments, influenced Million Dollars Baby and Hillary? Swank. And so, finally, Adrian's purpose was achieved.

Although it is mainly the best director, as I said earlier, the best male lead has other advantages, so both fall into the hands of Broken Back Mountain.

And then at this point, Adrian sends another film that fits perfectly with Oscar's appetite, and is released by Paramount, and has nothing to do with AC Media's film company —— the story that this film tells is happening in Los Angeles, which is a great advantage, and the details will undoubtedly give judges a familiar feeling, coupled with the clashes and inversions between races, that one character after another is constantly shifting from justice to evil, from the injured to the perpetrator, and the bottom line is well captured, in line with America's main melody.

So the academy could be generous enough to give Paul the best movie? Haggis, and then a pair of hands on Eastwood and Scorsese: Look, it's not that I don't want to give it to you, it's not that I'm worried about stimulating the miracle director, it's that there are better works.

This Oscar has come to a close and everything is in Adrian's hands and expectations, so next year will be even better.

“Hi, Natalie, congratulations, the youngest best actress.” A laughing voice brought Natalie back to God, standing in front of a white woman about thirty years old, some familiar, but I can't remember who she was for a moment.

“Thank you, it's the second younger,” she smiled and corrected, “Mary? Matteline was only 21 years old when she won the best actress, and she was the youngest. ”

“It's okay, you're better than her, no matter what her reputation or acting is, right?". They waved, "In the last decade, you'll be the only one who remembers the most. ”

“Hopefully - you're good, too, Kelly.” Natalie finally remembers each other's names, Kelly? McDonald, an actress from Scotland, played some pretty good movies, most famously "Guess the Train."

“Pretty good,” McDonald sighed, suddenly looking at a man in the distance who was joking between a bunch of women, "I sometimes miss what happened in the Elizabeth crew, where I played a small role, and Mr. Corwell was such an amazing director, who kept moving between the two crews, but still handled everything very well. ”

Looking at the past with her eyes, Natalie laughed and wondered what it would take to get the man's "favor”?

Surprisingly, McDonald did not continue the conversation, let alone express in words her desire to get close to Adrian. After a few casual conversations, he congratulated her again and the other person left.

Natalieton was a little confused and confused, and if McDonald didn't have that idea, what was it about getting close to him? Maybe it's true. No idea? No, it's impossible! The other party is probably playing a trick like this because they want to catch it. She couldn't help but think of the women who had come to talk to her before, constantly interrogating her relationship with Adrian between words, and wanted to ask her to introduce the miracle director. After all, to this day, she is the only woman who has twice served as the lead actress in a film directed by Adrian herself and was nominated and then awarded the prize.

Damn, Natalie scolded low in her heart, grabbed a glass of champagne from a passing waiter and drank it all. What did that motherfucker turn himself into? I don't know how tomorrow's paper is going to be written... No, as long as there's a place on the Internet right now, you'll know, but there's absolutely nothing good to say.

When she walked onto the stage to get a little golden man representing the best actress, she was filled with joy. Anyway, she did do a lot in Never Gone, and she was confident that her performance would be worthy of this glory. But when she came down and faced Adrian, fear emerged from her heart uncontrollably, though not much, and hovered like a shadow in her heart.

She finally got what she wanted, but when she really got it she realized... it didn't feel very good either, especially when compared to her uncertain future, which made her even more nervous. Natalie knew very well that Adrian would not just let herself go.

We have to find a way. We have to! She keeps saying that to herself. Unfortunately, she had been cheering herself on for years, but there was no working solution, and no plot was powerless in the face of absolute strength.
