King of Hollywood

Chapter 312 Uniqueness

"You should run for president, Ed. m" After sipping a good black tea, Campbell said so. There is nothing difficult for the rich man, but there is a convoy behind him.

"In that case I wouldn't even be able to pass the primary election." Adrian, who was holding a cup of coffee, answered with a smile.

"Presidents can have lovers," Campbell said cunningly, "Your insight is so good, you can always grasp the key points of things, and solve them from unexpected places. You are full of charm and good at speaking, and you can always Get people to buy into your ideas, even if it seems impossible, why don't such people sit in the White House? At least better than George W. Bush."

"There has never been an example of a billionaire being the president, let alone the boss of a media group, which is not in line with the tradition of democracy and freedom." Adrian shrugged, "So Hollywood is more suitable for me."

Campbell laughed twice, took another sip of the red tea, and then said: "Okay, I can lobby for you. Wei asked to worry about it!?

"No problem," Adrian nodded immediately, "this sentence is enough."

After another few minutes of silence, Campbell patted the shotgun next to him: "Then let's continue, I still hope to get a wild boar before the end of this hunt."

Although he kept saying that he didn't guarantee anything, Adrian didn't take it to heart at all. As long as the other party opened his mouth, he basically had the chance to win. If you want to impress a person or a group, you have to come up with something that the other party can't refuse. So what kind of thing can't be refused? It's simple, unique!

Except for Natalie, there is no one in Hollywood who has a great reputation and a good image. She was born as a child star and is a talented woman with a high degree of education. At the same time... A female star who was born in Jerusalem and grew up to three years old! It is needless to say what the Jews mean to the United States. Although the emperor's words are exaggerated, they are indeed huge in Hollywood in terms of new TV media.

That's why Adrian and the media received considerable support from Wall Street. His status as a descendant of the Mayflower passengers made him very popular in p, which could also be seen as a sign of their involvement in Hollywood.

Of course, this does not mean that Adrian must fight against the Jewish group, although various competitions are indispensable. But at a higher level, everyone basically coexists and co-prospers. Therefore, Adrian, who saw this, invested in "Schindler's List" early to gain the friendship of some Jews, and cooperated with them in various ways. He can be regarded as their friend, and his identity is doomed I will not completely follow them to lead the way, so I have come to the present with both sides.

Now, his coronation is imminent, the 60th anniversary of the victory of World War II and the Holocaust theme "The Pianist" won him the support of political correctness and Jewish people, and his merciless attack on European movies allowed him to tie the entire Hollywood movie to him. Therefore, he wants to recommend a template. A template that can perfectly show the image of the Jewish people, to express our gratitude.

That's not a big deal. Yes, Adrian is indeed for Natalie, but it is also in the interests of the Jewish community. But being born in the holy city, in Jerusalem, was enough, not to mention she had lived there for three years. On top of that, her parents were both Jewish. Her Jewish identity is much more pure than those who are only half or less Jewish, and her great-grandmother served as a spy for the Allied forces in World War II. She also played the leading role in the stage play of "Anne's Diary". After stretching these lines and then publicizing them again, Adrian couldn't imagine the reason for the academy's rejection.

Yes, there will certainly be considerable controversy then, but so what? Anyway, because of Adrian, Oscar hasn't had any controversy over the years? Moreover, it is not that the controversial awards in history have not been done, and the key lies in the interests.

Well, this hunt is generally quite enjoyable, but there must be a lot of solicitation and exchange that should be done with public relations, and Adrian has long been ready to give up non-key awards. That works, as evidenced by the release of the Oscar nominations at the end of the month, with "The Pianist" and "Runaway" taking ten nominations together.

Best Film, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Cinematography, Best Costume Design and Best Editing went to The Pianist, while Best Actress, Best Original Screenplay and Best The editing is for "Out of Control". Although one nomination overlaps, it can be regarded as ten if counted separately.

"One more step forward!" was the first Oscar-related headline in a new issue of The Hollywood Reporter, and readers knew who it was, even if they weren't naming names.

This is the first time that Marvel Director has been nominated for Best Director? Who cares, like no one cares that this is the first time he has been nominated for screenplay-related awards. Everyone just wants to know whether he, who has already won the best director once in a row, can continue to do so, and... is in his hands again Can Natalie Portman, who shines brightly, become the first consecutive winner of Best Actress.

"Look, look, the members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences have been bought!" Such news continued to circulate on the Internet.

Of course, it's still the same. For a media tycoon, this is almost useless, and there are still many places worth paying attention to this year's Oscar nomination list. A little digging is a good news subject, such as the best actress award Nicole Kidman's name appears again in the nominations.

If you count "American Beauty", until now, Nicole Kidman has won 5 Oscar nominations in 7 years, and won consecutive Best Supporting Actress and Best Supporting Actress. As far as a former vase is concerned, this achievement is amazing. If it continues, it may surpass Katharine Hepburn and Meryl Streep to become the actress with the most nominations in Oscar history.

The reason why she was able to achieve this achievement, except for those die-hard fans on the Internet who clamored that "divorcing Cruise is really right", more or less would have guessed one or two, the name Miracle Girl is not just a title , among other things, among the list of Oscar nominations for Best Actress this year, in addition to Nicole who was nominated for "Crossing America", there are also Kate Beckinsale who was nominated for "Northern Wind and Cloud" and Pride and Prejudice nominated Keira Knightley.

The former also has the title of Miracle Girl, under the digging of the media. Her image in "Two Smoking Barrels" and "Memory Fragments" has been well known by people, and the "earliest" prefix is ​​basically confirmed. Moreover, it is basically known that Lily is Adrian's daughter. Many people even know that he has more than one child, and they guessed that the daughters of Monica and Sophie belong to him. Unable to publish in media.

As for the latter, although there is no clear evidence to prove that she had an affair with the director of Miracle, many reporters have taken photos of her having an intimate conversation with Adrian, which is the consistent character of a playboy. It's almost impossible to say no. This is why after "Out of Control", basically no one pays attention to whether Director Miracle has slept with Natalie, and it is almost impossible to say that she did not spend such a large amount of money.

What's more, "Pride and Prejudice" was invested by Miramax, and they also did the distribution in the United States. There are even rumors in the UK that, except for the heroine Keira Knightley who was appointed by Adrian, the director Joe? White was also designated by him, and all kinds of signs were mixed together. Even if there was really no one, the reporter could make it up.

In short. When these names appeared on the nomination list, the media naturally produced various analysis reports. Then, with a little guidance, it would be less if it was completely aimed at Natalie and Adrian, even if he had already made it clear that he would send her to the throne of actress again.

What's more, in addition to this, there are Asian faces in the nominations for Best Supporting Actress. Yes, Lin Zhiling and Nakama Yukie occupy a place on the list with "Sideways" and "Babel" respectively .

Lin Zhiling stopped talking. Sideways has three female characters, and she wasn't the best, so getting nominated was just a matter of PR. Although Nakama Yukie also has public relations. But acting is an important factor in it. She has not experienced Japanese dramas, nor has she acted in too many comedies, and her performance in "Babel" was really brilliant, and last year's "Memoirs of a Geisha" should have had a nomination , so this year I got my wish.

As for Dennis and Aniston, it's a pity that they didn't get any nominations for leading actor or leading actress. It's a pity for their couple's wonderful performance.

The appearance of Asian faces in the nomination list of acting awards is always a thing worthy of special mention. Before Lin Zhiling and Yukie, there were only 7 Asians nominated. This is still only half of Indian descent. ? Kingsley also counted sake. Now not only has the number increased to 9, but they are all actresses, and two at a time, it is almost impossible not to attract the attention of the media.

What's more, there are Kirsten and Blanchett on the nomination list. Kirsten's nominated film is an unremarkable movie "June Bug" released at the end of September. Not bad, but Blanchett's was released simultaneously in the UK and the US in mid-December. It was adapted from "Notes on a Scandal", a documentary novel in 2010, starring Judi Dench, and got a Nominated for Best Actress.

Not to mention Blanchett's status as a miracle girl, Kirsten, like Keira, has been photographed many times in intimate conversations with Adrian in public. He is very well controlled in this regard, and people in the circle can confirm that the miracle girls are very ambiguous with him, but for young girls like Kirsten and Scarlett, they think they have had one-night stands with him.

In this way, it goes without saying how many eyeballs it will attract, and the pressure on Adrian and Natalie will be even lighter. These reports seemed to come at them in a threatening manner, but they were quickly resolved one by one. What actually fell on him was only a few light blows, so Adrian had enough time to slowly prepare for the last moment. By the way Get some good news.

Michael Bay agreed to take over the sequel of "Transformers", which was both expected and unexpected by Adrian.

It was expected because Adrian believed that it would be a matter of time before the other party agreed. The biggest weakness of Shell is that he urgently needs a movie to revive his momentum. He used to be a director of commercial films, and he will be a director of commercial films in the future, and the biggest worry of commercial film directors is the loss of commercial value.

He is different from Sam Remy and David Fincher. The latter two are famous for their personalities. Finch still maintains his character in film production. However, the "Ghost Player" trilogy is still a rare lt-type movie. As a result, even if they fail commercially. Take a break and still raise money for the movies you want to make.

And Keke became famous as a commercial film from the very beginning, so commercial value is very important to him. Without commercial value, the guide tube in his hand will be unstable. And his few films after the turn of the millennium were basically losing money, and he also dragged DreamWorks, so now he is in desperate need of a blockbuster commercial film.

What better box-office guarantee than a Transformers sequel? Comment? For comparison? This is nothing compared to their own interests! Didn't the critics give him the title "Bombshell"? Did no one ridicule that he could only make commercial films? What's more, Adrian came forward to speak out in person, and even used the relationship of DreamWorks. How can the shell not be moved after a long time?

To say it was unexpected means that he didn't expect it to be so fast. He originally thought it would take at least three weeks or even longer to persuade, but it took only half a month or so for Bei Ke to agree.

"You are right, Ed, no one can surpass Cameron, so there is no need to surpass." Michael Bay told him that at the time, which surprised Adrian.

Since he wanted to persuade Bei Ke to do something he didn't want to do, it was definitely impossible to tell him directly. You need commercial movies now to revive your reputation, you can't beat Cameron. No one can surpass Cameron, so why surpass him? Especially the latter excuse is very convincing, of course, the premise is to admit that you really can't surpass the other party.

It's not easy. Many times, starting from reason, I also know that I really can't surpass a certain person. But it was hard to admit it in front of others, and I didn't expect that Bei Ke would actually agree.

"I have always been very grateful for your help, and I also think that there is no distinction between commercial films and art films. So I'd better continue to pursue my own things." Michael Bay said later.

This sentence can be regarded as solving Adrian's confusion. Very good, although Shell has some bad habits, at least he knows what he should do. Obviously, he always remembered Adrian's kindness when he discovered his kindness, and he was also very happy that Adrian could use him as an example when he refuted European filmmakers, which is a great reputation. Although he would agree, Adrian's growing power is indispensable, but it is already very good to be able to do so.

Very well, this matter has been settled like this, and Adrian immediately asked people to start preparing for two sequels. In addition, he is also preparing some new movies at the same time. It's not that he wants to start a new work, his goal is about to be completed, no matter what the result is, there is no need to make another movie, he plans to take a good rest, so there will be no further arrangements for the time being.

So, in fact, the preparation of the new movie is for his own woman. Now that he has more time, he can take his time and choose more carefully.

"A doctor, female doctor, doctor of history, you haven't played such a role, right?" Adrian hugged Zeta Jones from behind, looked at her in the mirror and asked with a smile, "Stop taking pictures, you He's recovering pretty well."

"Does Virginia count?" Zeta Jones ignored it, still looking at the mirror by himself, posing various poses in Adrian's arms.

"Of course not, that should be classified as a thief." Adrian leaned towards the back of her neck and took a deep breath.

"You really think I'm suitable?" Zeta-Jones turned around and asked with his head tilted.

"It's very suitable," Adrian put on an exaggerated expression, "When this script was found out from the pile of old papers, I still regretted why I didn't make it at the beginning, but after careful consideration of the candidate, I felt that it was a wise idea. Choice. If it was produced at that time or it was only a year late, you couldn’t find a suitable heroine, but now, you have become the best candidate.”

"Don't try to lie to me, Ed," Zeta Jones snorted softly, "don't tell me that none of your women are suitable."

"If you only talk about a single aspect, there are many suitable ones, but it's different overall. Everyone has their own things, so you are the most suitable one." Adrian said seriously.

After watching him for a few seconds, Zeta Jones smiled, took a few steps back, stretched out his hands to straighten his clothes, and turned around in front of him: "Do you really think I'm recovering well?"

"Of course," Adrian laughed, and stretched out his hand to gesture to her a few times, "Look at this figure, plump breasts, slender waist, and round buttocks, it's no different from before."

"Can't you think of some better adjectives?" Zeta Jones raised his eyebrows, "You used to be very good at describing women."

"Yes, that's right, but I think this way can reflect my current mood," Adrian smiled and approached her, "I really really want to press you to the ground now... "

"Julie is waiting for us below, come if you are not afraid of her getting angry," Zeta-Jones immediately puffed up his chest, "By the way, and we are going to breastfeed Kalis soon."

"So what? The little guy won't mind giving some to Dad." Adrian narrowed his eyes and tried to look obscene.

"Very good, when Carlisle grows up, I will tell her how you even robbed her of what was given to her." Zeta Jones rolled his eyes, and immediately stomped out.
