King of Hollywood

Chapter 317: Unmatched, Naturally.

“ww.x.om" takes all aspects of a character to the extreme, which is what actors mean, and these are the nominations for the best male lead in this Oscar. ”When Natalie in a purple skirt smiled and said these on stage, the big screen next to her revealed the faces of the candidates and introduced them.

Philip from Capote? Seymour? Hoffman, David from Good Night, Good Luck? Strazen, Adrian from Pianist? Brody, Terrence from Riverrun? Howard and Viggo from History of Violence? Mottson. Just as people were whispering and making their final guess, Natalie had opened the envelope: "Is Oscar the owner, Adrian? Brody! ”

Then the applause and "Pianist" sounded, and Brody held his hands in front of him, seemingly unbelievable, but immediately stood up and shook hands with his friends to celebrate, and hugged Adrian.

“Thank you, Mr. Corwell.” He was excited to talk about it.

“You deserve it.” Adrian patted him on the shoulder and swept around and couldn't help but laugh in his heart, which must disappoint a lot of people.

When Brody gets the best lead, it means that it belongs to Pianist, not one less, and don't forget Brody's name. Though these are somewhat purposeful, let's not forget that there are not many atheists here.

“How are you feeling, ready?” After Brody's speech, Natalie came down with him and Adrian smiled and asked.

Natalie was obviously nervous, but she looked at it and said in a slightly calm tone: "I'm waiting. ”

“Keep an eye on it.” Adrian said softly.

However, despite what he said, his mind was not at peace. After all, what was to be done was something that had never been done in the history of Oscar, and the slogan "Girls from Al-Quds, coexisting wisdom and beauty”, while enjoying the support of many, would also lose a lot of votes in their hands, so whether the end result would be what they thought it would be. He's not 100% sure.

At this point, Stewart ends his description, and Ralph, who looks handsome in his suit, has walked up: "Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, I know that by this time of year, everyone is in a state of urgency, as I did last year. So I try to make time faster, and Oscar nominates the following --”

As before, the screen begins to show films of nominees, first and foremost by Judy? Danch's... Scandal Notes.

Frankly, Adrian was surprised when he got the nomination list. He remembers Judy? Danch should have been nominated for Mrs. Henderson's Gift. But she did get her nomination from Scandal Notes, but that was supposed to be next year, and Adrian thought about moving the film forward for Blanchett, but didn't think of Judy? Danch named the best actress in the film.

If she really wanted to win, she should have chosen "Mrs. Henderson's Gift." After all, this year marks the sixtieth anniversary of victory over World War II, and there are a number of scenes about German bombing in the second half of the film. But then again. Relative to Judy? Danch's role in the past, the female lead of Scandal Notes, appeared somewhat unusual. This was a villain lead, and was easily impressed by the type of nominee that inspired him, which might have had a strange effect.

Of course, it's not that perfect, anyway. She's always been a... okay, Judy? Danch's thoughts don't need Adrian's attention, let alone... so he just thinks about it and keeps looking at the next image. The four remaining nominations are all his women -- Kayla may not be, but nobody cares, does she? Not to mention the fact that time is running out.

The second is Kate's footage in the Northern Wind Cloud, with her dirty clothes from a miner, her hair scattered, and the cowardly people around her, the footage spinning 270 degrees, accompanied by angry language, appeared tense. Frankly, her acting is much better now than another time and space.

Next up is Kayla in Arrogance and Prejudice, excerpted from Elizabeth blaming Darcy on the rainy weather. This play by Kayla was not particularly great, but her continuous and frustrating London cavity made her look extraordinarily cute. Adrian couldn't help but look into her seat and Kayla looked at it. Although she didn't dare to make too many faces because the lens was looking at her, she made a slight hum that only he could see, while placing a slight fist in her left hand under her right hand and swinging left and right, she really picked a place to tease.

The fourth is Nicole from "Crossing America," she chose a clip that was very ordinary, but very prominent. She practiced the film for a while. She also touched several transgender people, watched their lives, got a lot of details into the film, and added makeup. If you don't look closely, you can't really see that this is the famous Nicole? Kidman. Unfortunately, because of her tummy, she found an excuse not to be there, only a picture on the screen.

Natalie's final appearance, the chosen fragment is the appearance of the final awakening, a lame room, from shallow to deep, people also slowly went from fierce to confused to frightened, eventually knelt down as a group of people sobbing in fear, quite hierarchical, the infection erupted instantly.

And then Ralph opened the envelope: "The Oscar owner is Natalie? Portman! ”

When he announced his name, the crow was silent for at least two seconds, followed by a loud mix of applause.

“Remember what I said?” Adrian clapped proudly, Natalie clasped her lips, holding the armrest slightly trembling, seemingly completely unbelievable.

But she finally stood up steadily and hugged Adrian and walked onto the stage.

“... thank you, at this moment, all I can think of is this word," Natalie, who had been brewing for a long time after taking the little Goldman from Raven, said with a trembling voice, "I never thought I'd be here so fast again, I never thought I'd lift the trophy of the best actress so fast again, I never... I just wanted to say thank you Adrian? Mr. Corwell, it was you who discovered me, and you who guided me, and let me step on stage and stand here. Thank you very much, I will definitely walk better...”

Her perverse behavior led Adrian to pick the eyebrows, and if the media had described her and his relationship mostly in a speculative tone, they would be able to change their positive tone after the award. If that was all, his last words were clearly a reminder of his commitment to her.

The last struggle? Adrian smiled and didn't care. When she thanked a bunch of people and came down in applause, she opened her arms again and Natalie hugged her.

“Touching speech, very nice.” He smiled so much and whispered to her that he didn't care that the camera was pointing at him.

“I just want to say… I just want to say… those are… my true words.” Natalie swept the hairs of her ears, and her eyelids drooped so low that she couldn't look at him.

Adrian didn't care at all. He kept his eyes on the stage and shouted his index finger to his mouth: "Well, what can I say later? The most critical moment is coming. ”

He is in a much easier mood than he was just now. Natalie's best actress may have a real chance of turning over, but this next one will never happen.

“The five directors, without exception, chose the theme of reality. Let's take a look at the nominations now.” Award guest Tom? Hanks is already on stage, and a few minutes later he reads his name: "Adrian? Cowell! ”

Applause, warm applause, deafening applause. When Adrian stood up smiling, everyone in the room stood up. Even if quite a few of them are uncomfortable, there is nothing they can do. With no possibility of change after the announcement of the list, the best director of Adrian's record three-time cicada league is already the fact that it will be recorded in the history of Oscar, plus the best female lead of Natalie's Cicada league. Brody took the best male lead, and the Academy of Cinematography has determined his position in Hollywood with practical action. So at any rate, you have to watch him climb to the throne in a humble manner.

“Congratulations, Ed, it's unmatched.” Hanks said sincerely after handing the Golden Man over to Adrian.

“Thanks, Tommy.” Adrian nodded, stood in front of the microphone with the trophy, then swept the whole scene, smiled slightly, raised his hand and lifted it up, thanks again: “Thank you! ”

No hubris, no pride, no pride, no complacency, just —— of course!

That's right, starting with the Ring King trilogy, he prepared for the day for almost seven years, and during that period he went through countless things, and in retrospect, even he was a little surprised. After spending so much effort, using so much energy, and trying to borrow everything, what can't be taken for granted?

Perhaps some people will find it unfair that the best directors of the Cicada League for the third consecutive year, even if they bought the Film Academy, or made a behind-the-scenes deal, are unlikely to do so. Adrian must have superpowers and hypnotized all members of the Film Academy who could vote. Of course, they will definitely never know what borrowing means. The so-called historical trend is huge, and then the reversal dies. That is the importance of power, only fools will believe that as long as the movie is good enough.

It can be leveraged, even at high mountain peaks, and Adrian, by the prophetic perception, holds it firmly in his hands. First, through the "King of the Rings" trilogy constantly crowded the film college, the annual nomination, everyone praised it, plus the huge popularity of "King of the Rings" itself, and the college itself to seek new change, and his last award was a few years ago, so he got his first best director.

Then, drawing on the growing gay movement at the beginning of the 21st century, especially Massachusetts, which became the first state to allow gay marriage in 04, the development of gay organizations was further stimulated by the launch of Broken Back Mountain in the context of this vibrant social movement, accompanied by a number of columns and the second-best director in exchange for abandoning the best film.

Needless to say, the Jewish Holocaust, the 60th anniversary of victory over the Second World War, the relentless firing of European films, the flag stands on Hollywood's side, and the trading of internal forces, have won the third without difficulty.

With a slight reversal of the order, it's unlikely to be as successful as this, especially before and after Broken Back Mountain and Pianist, so Adrian is most worried about the gains and losses of the second best director. The best director for Broken Back Mountain is also being connected, to Pianist here, also to give, not to give, not to mention the deal.

This is the power of power, and of course, other factors are important. The quality of the underlying films, for example, must pass through, otherwise the previous ones are nothing more than aerial pavilions. Alternatively, Adrian pursued the award as the best director, not the best film, and repeatedly assured the College that he would never seek the best director again.

While the best film is the highest honor for filmmakers, the award is not awarded to directors like Golden Palm, but to production companies, and Cicada's three best films are not more prestigious than Cicada's three best directors and are more easily jealous. As for no longer seeking the best director, we have already had the best director four times. How much more do you want? John Ford only took it four times.

Perhaps some would say that this has already been the case. Again, isn't it bad for an ancient man to become one of the five best directors in Oscar history? Of course not. If it is decades from now, Adrian may consider it that way, but not now. The so-called wood show must be destroyed by the forest wind. If it just pops up a little, then naturally there's no problem, but if it pops up too much. Easy to get blown down by the wind.

Flatten John? So what about Ford's records? Adrian is unique with three times in a row as the best director, and we don't see how much effort he's put into this moment. And based on his knowledge of the Film Academy, after that, there will surely be an internal, private agreement that the next best director of Cicada will not appear again three times.

So why can't he accept this third little golden man for granted?

“It is an unparalleled honor to thank all, and I will always remember it.” Adrian finished his speech, raised the trophy again, then owed slightly, and a warm round of applause sounded again.

Afterwards, it goes without saying that, in exchange, the best film was obtained by Capote, and the 78th Oscar came to a close.

As for the later Famous Grounds party, there was also nothing to say, Adrian never missed it, and naturally attended. However, the problem is that, as the best director of the new Cicada League three times, countless people came to the party that night to say hello to him, familiar or unfamiliar, so that his woman could not find the opportunity to talk to him alone, and some of the reserved items had to be abandoned.

The only reward is, Philip? Seymour? Hoffman promised that if the role was appropriate, he would take the lead role in Adrian's recommended films, whether or not he directed them.

It is now 06 years old, and the original abandoned stage play of Child Abuse Suspicion Cloud did not unexpectedly appear on Broadway in New York and won the Pulitzer and Tony Awards, and some things are still evolving according to the established pattern. In this regard, Adrian, who is concerned, naturally got the right to adapt for the first time. Natalie doesn't need it, but doesn't mean anyone else does. Although he can relax and rest completely now, he still needs to think about it for the women, does he?

And Philip? Seymour? Hoffman played the priest in the original version, and Adrian was too lazy to find someone else to compensate him for. After all, Hoffman should have won the best male lead in the current Oscar, but because of Adrian's involvement, the gay character had already won the best male lead before that, and Brody's competitiveness became particularly powerful because he was Jewish and because of a series of factors this year, which eventually led to his defeat.

Why not just sell yourself a favor and keep the movie up?

Though Kate and I didn't make out at the party, there was no shortage of shows that night, and although Natalie was surrounded by a large group of people because of the best actress in the Cicada League, she couldn't talk to Adrian, but ended up sneaking into the RV he was going to be in the back door.

As the first woman to spend two consecutive years with Adrian on an Oscar night, she voted for it, and of course, Natalie wouldn't be proud.

Nevertheless, Natalie took the initiative to wrap herself around him for the first time under Adrian's roof and went all the way to the villa in Malibu. But she thought it would satisfy him. It was a big mistake. When the RV stopped in the garage, Adrian didn't mean to stop. He kept warming up with her in the garage first. After the driver had completely left, he picked up Natalie and got out of the garage and went in the house. He also deliberately circled from the front yard.

“No... don't do this..." Natalie, unable to struggle, said as she walked past the courtyard, tightening her body and begging.

“What, I've done so much for you, you can't even meet that requirement?” This is a dramatic response in Adrian, and the other person's body becomes tighter.

As always, while Oscar is over, there will always be some afterwaves. For example, some media do all sorts of sour tricks on Adrian Cicada's three best directors, and all kinds of hints at Natalie Cicada's best actress. None of the movie college's cake-divided behaviors won more than three awards, which is the best proof, in short, all kinds of voices.
