King of Hollywood

As usual, the nomination list for the 50th Golden Globe Awards was announced on December 19th. Although most people expected that Bosworth Films would take the biggest spotlight, they still have to wait until the list comes out. Startled. Basically, the three films produced by Bosworth Films accounted for all the nominations except comedy musicals and special awards

Best film, best director, best screenwriter, best actor and actress... Even "Scent of a Woman" and "Howards End" were also nominated for best film at the same time, so that some people think that if he makes a comedy movie Or for foreign language films, they will also be nominated. He naturally refers to the director and producer of the three films, Adrian Cowell, who is known as the wizard director

Such words must not be exaggerated, not to mention his previous movies, just these three works released this year are enough to dazzle people's eyes. "Pulp Fiction", which won the Palme d'Or and received 100 million box office in North America; "Scent of a Woman", which gave Al Pacino a hearty performance and reversed his impression of only shooting cult-style movies; Speechless Howards End.

Especially in the end, this niche movie has already earned 30 million box office in North America, and it is still advancing towards 40 million. The media even exclaimed that even if it is a movie that obviously loses money, as long as it comes from him, it can make a lot of money. These three films were produced by three different directors in the same year, or were produced by the same director in different years. It is not a big deal, but now they are produced by the same director in the same year... Frankly speaking, this kind of thing has never happened in Hollywood.

So it's normal to get so many nominations for the Golden Globe Awards, and it's also normal to get such evaluations. It's just that people need time to digest this reality. After all, it's the first time someone has done this. "Los Angeles Times" A reporter from China wrote: "Perhaps, the director of Wizards can change his name. How about calling him Director of Miracle?"

Of course, this kind of name is largely just teasing and ridiculing. Although the Golden Globes have some weight, they are still not as good as the Oscars. However, the Golden Globe Award is also one of the several wind vanes of the Oscars, so many people want to know what will happen when the list of Oscar nominations is announced in more than a month.

Therefore, many reporters are chasing after Adrian, wanting to hear how he feels about being nominated for so many Golden Globes, as well as his outlook for the Oscars. But Adrian has been doing Tai Chi with them all the time, either using empty words and stereotypes to deal with them, or not saying anything at all. Because he has a lot of things to do, like attending movie premieres.

"Hey, Sandy, how are you lately, you look good."

"Wow, beautiful Ms. Pullman, it's amazing how beautiful you are."

"Nice to see you, Mr. Andrews. Oh, never mind the golf. It was miserable."

Passing through the bustling crowd, Adrian came to the center of the front hall of the theater while greeting people he knew. The reason why there is such a big crowd and so many guests is because the upcoming movie is the "Jurassic Park" which has an investment of more than 60 million and took more than a year to produce

Universal, which provided one-third of the funding and was in charge of distribution, immediately decided to hold a large-scale premiere for publicity after watching the sample, and thus the current situation came into being.

"It's a pity you weren't there at the time, Ed. They were calm when the long-necked dragon appeared at first, but they became dumbfounded immediately after the Tyrannosaurus rex appeared." A middle-aged man standing next to the flower table near the bar He said happily, he has a light-colored beard, fluffy but not messy hair, thick and bushy eyebrows, eyes always narrowed into a line, if he keeps calm, he will be very majestic, but once he smiles, he is a bit nervous. cute.

"You really shouldn't have said this to me, George, I'm already starting to regret it." Adrian showed an annoyed expression in cooperation, which immediately made the middle-aged man burst out laughing.

This middle-aged man directed "Star Wars" and founded the well-known Industrial Light and Magic. The famous George Lucas Spielberg completed the filming of "Jurassic Park" and basically put the post-production work into After planning, I handed it over to my friend Lucas, and then found Adrian to prepare "Schindler's List" and soon went to Poland.

Even now, just before Christmas, he was still in Krakow for filming, so Lucas, who was in charge of most of the post-production, replaced him at the film premiere.

"It's okay, the premiere is coming soon, you will see you soon." Lucas laughed and patted him on the shoulder.

"You know, George, I have heard many people say that you are a very serious and unsmiling person, but when I saw you today, I realized that those rumors are not reliable." Adrian said.

"Actually, these statements are true in a sense. I am indeed strict at work, but it would be too boring if I am like this at ordinary times." Lucas shrugged, and then watched him change Topic: "Let's talk about you, Ed, how do you feel recently? You are the most concerned director in Hollywood right now. What does the media say about you? Even..."

"Let's not mention this, George," Adrian smiled wryly, "I'm now thinking about what kind of subject to make for the next movie, so that I can make up for the overdrawn part."

"Do you also have such worries?" Lucas laughed, and showed interest when he thought of something, "Why, do you have any new ideas? Are you going to start making new movies like crazy again? "

"No, no, no, although there are new ideas, at least I have to rest for a few months before talking about it. I don't plan to do things like this year." Adrian shook his head, and then turned the topic elsewhere: "Yes Now, George, are you really not going to make a sequel to Star Wars? What about the prequels? You can’t let us down forever.”

The two kept changing the topic and chatting, and Lucas seemed very happy under Adrian's subtle compliment. After chatting for another ten minutes, he was about to say goodbye and leave, but Lucas patted him on the shoulder immediately, and said incoherently, "Thank you, Ed, you did a great job."

Adrian was stunned for a while, but seeing Lucas's sincere face quickly reacted, and smiled humbly: "It's nothing, what Steven did should be commendable. "

"Don't be so humble, Ed, Steven told me everything you've done, and no one has done it better than you. He's been working on this movie, and as an old friend, I'm glad someone I can help him realize his wish." Lucas said seriously, "If it wasn't for the premiere, I would buy you a drink and thank you very much."

"There will be a chance," Adrian said, remembering something, "Although I have been busy with my own affairs, I have always paid attention to Poland. I heard from the staff there that Steven's mental state seems to be not very good. it is good."

"Yes," Lucas confirmed his statement, "when I spoke to him on the phone, his voice sounded limp. It's not surprising, just thinking about re-living the original tragedy through the camera is very exciting. To be shivering without chills, for Steven, it was an out-and-out torment."

"I can imagine," Adrian nodded sympathetically, "so, after Christmas and New Years, maybe we can go to Poland to see him together."

Lucas touched his chin and thought for a few seconds, then nodded: "This is a good proposal, I will consider it."

"That's it." Adrian made a gesture to leave, "I will contact you later when I have time."

"Okay, just call me if you need anything." Lucas smiled and waved his hand.

George Lucas. Adrian, who walked into the crowd, chanted the name, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Is this the first benefit of investing in Schindler's List? Of course, for a long period of time in the future, we will have a good relationship with Industrial Light and Magic, and even after entering the 21st century, Industrial Light and Magic is the largest special effects base in Hollywood. Although Lucas's directing works are not many, he has established a huge network of contacts, not to mention that he is also Jewish.

Shaking his head slightly, Adrian turned his attention to looking for Kate around him. Because they didn't want to be caught by reporters asking questions, they entered the theater's front hall through the side door. After Adrian found Lucas and had a chat with him, Kate, who felt that she couldn't get in her mouth, left first.

"There are so many people." Looking at the bustling crowd in the front hall, Adrian sighed helplessly. It is not easy to find Kate in this situation, but he is still working hard to find her. Because Monica also came to the premiere, and when he was talking to Lucas before, he had clearly seen Kate and Monica walking by from not far away.

Adrian is not worried that they will have any conflicts. Monica will attend the premiere of "Jurassic Park" precisely because he called the invitation himself and hinted in his words not to refuse. Therefore, Adrian wants to know what kind of conflict will arise between the informed Monica and the uninformed Kate.

He wasn't worried at all, Kate would find out sooner or later anyway. Moreover, this can be regarded as a small experiment.

It's a pity that there are too many people in the front hall. Universal seems to be eager to invite all the celebrities in Hollywood. Along the way, there are several producers who are more familiar, not to mention those who have met once. The director, the actor, just saying hello and pleasantries almost drained his mouth.

"You guys really know how to run. Where did you go?" Adrian stopped before and after a column, looked around and shrugged amusedly. Then, a warm body crashed into his arms. ()
