King of Hollywood

"I believe Tolkien didn't think when he finished the novel that the film adaptation would be released decades later, and it would sweep the world and set off a new craze. It's true, I really, really like The Lord of the Rings "King" trilogy, the beautiful scenes make people feel like they have really come to the halfway time. Of course, thanks to Adrian, he is so talented and is... so popular with women, I really I'm very, very jealous." When the lip-smacking Billy Crystal said the last sentence, the people below burst into laughter.

Facing the camera that moved over, Adrian had no choice but to shrug his shoulders, and then covered his forehead with a somewhat embarrassed expression.

This kind of thing happens every Oscar, and the hosts always try to make fun of some famous people or things in order to liven up the atmosphere. Since Adrian participated in the awards ceremony as a director and producer, he could only bear this kind of treatment. It seems that the photos of being surrounded by miracle girls before have been circulated wildly on the Internet.

Of course, there must be a sense of proportion in making jokes. If you talk too much, even if you just smiled at the time, you will definitely remember it in your heart, so you will have to get back the scene in the future. That's why the Film Academy likes to invite Billy Crystal to be the host. In addition to being witty and humorous, he is also very good at making decisions. Even if he is teased harshly, most people will laugh it off.

"He's absolutely right," Sophie leaned over and whispered, "Just look at the seating arrangements."

"It was arranged by the organizer. It has nothing to do with me." Adrian hurriedly pretended to be innocent.

"You think we'll believe it?" Blanchett said from the other side.

As in the past, the crew of "Lord of the Rings" and "Life of the Rose" are next to each other. Needless to say, Blanchett and Liv, Gwyneth was unable to attend the ceremony because she was pregnant, so Sophie was arranged sat next to him, and then Monica sat in front of him, so just like last year, Adrian was once again surrounded by four women.

In this situation, and with being surrounded by them outside the theater before, it was almost impossible not to tease him. Not to mention that The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King has been winning from the beginning until now. Although they are all technical awards, best sound effects, best makeup, etc., they are basically nominated. For example, now, the best editing is awarded to "Lord of the Rings", and one of the winners is... peter jackson!

"Thank you to the Academy, thank you to my family, thank you to my friends for their support. Thank you to everyone on the crew, thank you to the local government of New Zealand, and thank you to Mr. Adrian Cowell. I love the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy. I wanted to put it on the big screen early on, but I didn't expect Adrian to be the first to do it. Of course I was not convinced. But at the same time, I was very curious, especially when he chose New Zealand, my hometown, as the location, so I figured out how to join the cast. It turns out Adrian is the best. You brought out what was in my heart, everyone's heart of Middle Earth, and made it perfect! Thank you, thank you Thank you for allowing me to participate in this fantastic journey, thank you for making my dream come true, thank you!" Peter Jackson said with emotion while holding the statuette on the stage.

After the speech is over. Immediately there was warm applause from the audience, everyone was applauding, and Adrian was no exception, and even got up and gave him a hug after Jackson came down.

You know, there are always a lot of things for Adrian, so I don’t have a long time to supervise the post-production in the studio, and I usually leave it to others. Jackson has been in charge of the post-production of "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" for a long time. editor. Although some of them did not meet his requirements and were ordered to rectify, but many of them did a good job, so Jackson's name was put on it when declaring the best editing. Although the quality of the best editing is not as good as that of the best director, it is a statuette after all, which is more or less a compensation.

I am a good person. Adrian said this to himself as a matter of course in his heart. This isn't the first time he's said that, it's really shameless. Of course, good people don't care about this. He is busy preparing to do what he does every year at the Oscars.

"It...it seems...it's not allowed to come here." Natalie said hesitantly after being led to the rooftop. A gust of wind blew by and made her shiver. The night wind at the end of February was still a bit cold.

"It's too easy for me to get this." Adrian raised the key in his hand and shook it, then pulled her into his arms. Good supporting actress."

"Wait...wait, Ed, here's something..." Natalie pushed subconsciously, "it's too open here, and...it's a little cold."

The roof of the Kodak Theater is indeed huge, but so what? The larger the area, the more exciting it is to do.

"It's okay, it won't be cold after a little exercise." Adrian chuckled, picked up her skirt with one hand, and then searched inside along her thighs, "Besides, it's not like we haven't been in similar Remember the library at Harvard? Oh, and the Statue of Liberty, you were shaking with excitement every time."

Natalie's breathing suddenly became rapid, and she turned her head to one side, so as not to let him see the resentment and helplessness in her eyes. It's just that Adrian wouldn't care if he saw it. The reason why he chose her to be his Oscar girl tonight is still in the empty place on the rooftop, just to continue to stimulate her and...to prevent her from weakening her hatred for him Psychologically, he doesn't need her obedience—or, in other words, he needs another kind of obedience.

"Maybe...maybe we change places..." Natalie leaned back, barely supporting Adrian's chest with her hands.

"No, right here," Adrian kissed her neck, held her buttocks, and almost took her out of the room, "Be obedient, Nada."

This sentence immediately made her body tremble.

"In order to prevent chafing your back, I need to pick you up. So it's best to clamp your legs around my waist," Adrian whispered in Natalie's ear, "If you don't mind waiting When the Best Supporting Actress is presented later, if the candidates and award presenters are nowhere to be seen, we can take our time."

At this time, what else can Natalie say, not to mention that the other party's fingers have penetrated into it and fiddled non-stop, and the wet feeling clearly tells her that her body has betrayed her will. So she could only clamp Adrian's waist with her legs as she said, and then wrap her arms around his neck. He adjusted his posture and just sat in his arms.

Adrian immediately started to provoke, no matter how reluctant Natalie was, she couldn't help but make a few instinctive and happy sounds under his attack. If it’s just like this, it’s fine, Adrian didn’t intend to let her go just like that, and immediately asked while exercising: “Guess, Nada, how likely is it that the best supporting actress will fall to you later?” superior?"

Because of the good reputation of "Julie and Julia", Natalie got a nomination for Best Supporting Actress without any suspense. This is the third time she has been nominated, which is quite an achievement at this age. In addition, this year's opponents are not very strong, and many people think that she is very likely to win the first statuette in her life, but Adrian didn't ask this to know her opinion.

"I...I don't know..." Natalie gasped as his waist rose and fell, with a confused and resistant look on her face, obviously she still guessed what he wanted to say under this situation.

"You can guess." Adrian laughed, "Nicole won the Best Supporting Actress before I gave her the title of Best Actress, you are so fascinated and loved by me, and " "Breakthrough" is already aiming for next year's Oscar, you can guess. Will I let you win the Best Supporting Actress first."

Natalie's body convulsed suddenly, her eyes were closed tightly, her teeth were clenched tightly, and the expression on her face was painful but happy. Adrian took a deep breath and then swayed even more violently. What a ridiculous idea. Could it be that without his support, she doesn't need other people's support if she wants to get these honors? In the Oscar awards, especially the acting awards, acting skills account for 50% of the decisive factors, which is quite good.

Of course, then again, Natalie had to think so, and Adrian knew what she was thinking, nothing more than that. Without a bit of persistence, she would become one of the women who flattered him under him.

Oh, dear Nada, let me tell you what is good about you? Thinking of this, Adrian shook even more violently, shaking the girl wrapped around him so much that he couldn't help moaning loudly.

"Thank God, if I can't find you anymore, then I have to ask them to postpone the award of Best Supporting Actress." When Adrian came backstage, a responsible assistant greeted her with relief.

"Sorry, I left for a while and didn't participate in the previous rehearsal, so I'm a little late, Edmund." Adrian said politely.

"It's okay, hurry up and get ready, Billy's joke should be finished." Assistant Edmund said and waved to another person to notify the dispatcher. He didn't seem to care at all. In fact, even if Adrian let it go temporarily He is not tall enough to be the award presenter, so he can't care.

After all, where is Adrian's status, and seeing his satisfied appearance, he can figure out what he did before with his knees. This is a famous playboy, so it is the business to continue the award ceremony smoothly.

"Okay, let's invite a very important guest to the stage. It's really not easy to invite him." Following Billy Crystal's words, Adrian strode away from the envelope handed over by the assistant next to him. Behind the scenes came the stage.

Applause immediately rang out. You know, this is the first time Adrian has served as an award presenter at the Oscars ceremony. It's not that the Film Academy deliberately treated him slowly. Who made him rise so fast? Six or seven years ago, although Adrian was well-known and the youngest winner of the Oscar for Best Director, he was still a cutting-edge director and he was so young. Although the media had developed well, he was also an emerging media company and qualified There are so many people presenting the awards, it's not a big deal for him to be a little behind.

However, no one thought that the further you go, the less chance you have. The nominees for the acting awards are either closely related to him or sent up by him, and he himself is often nominated for best director, and the films he produces are also often Nominated for best film. In the past few years, the film academy has been under a certain amount of pressure because it has continuously awarded the best actress to the miracle girls. If he is allowed to be the award presenter again, awarding the statuettes to people who are close to him, or even to himself and his own movies, I believe the public opinion will be very lively after the awards ceremony.

Other awards are even more impossible. As Adrian's power has grown countless times, let a media tycoon, a well-known director and producer award the best makeup and best marketing? He's not James Cameron.

"I'm so flattered." Adrian got straight to the point without the slightest pretense, "There are one or several excellent supporting actors in an excellent movie, and sometimes the brilliance of the supporting actors even exceeds main character……"

Because of various concerns, the film school has been delayed until now. But it's not good to drag it on any longer. As some of the most powerful people in Hollywood, Adrian has never even been an Oscar presenter, which is too much. Therefore, taking advantage of the fact that Gwyneth was unable to attend the Oscars this year for some reason, and therefore could not be the award presenter, the organizer made adjustments and finally invited Adrian to be the award presenter for Best Supporting Actress this year, although there are still nominees There are people close to him. but……

"Now let's take a look at these five lucky ladies." Adrian said, and the picture on the big screen next to him began to change, and the five candidates and their movies were shown one after another with the introduction. Patricia Klaassen for Pieces of April, Marcia Gay Harden for Mystic River, Thorie Andasloo for Home Dust and Fog and Natalie for Julie and Julia ? Portman and... Naomi Watts from Cold Mountain!

Yes, except Natalie. Naomi is also nominated for Best Supporting Actor for her role in Cold Mountain. After Adrian asked Anthony Minghella to direct and produce "The English Patient", this old British man has been cooperating with the film company under the media company. "The Talented Ripley" was also released by Miramax. Derian invited Gwyneth and Blanchett to join. By the way, I gave him an idea for a new role-playing between the two of them.

So it is only logical that Adrian invested in "Cold Mountain" and recommended Nicole and Naomi to star together, although he intervened in the film as a producer and greeted Minghella before , gave up some unnecessary shots to make the content more cohesive, but the film still looked a little bleak after it was released.

For one thing, Minghella is now considered a well-known film director. Naturally, I don’t like someone meddling in my work, even if this person discovers me; secondly, Adrian doesn’t have time to supervise "Cold Mountain" like he supervised "The English Patient", so even if there are changes, there is still a rhythm on the whole The problem of slowness and fragmented plot, so although word of mouth is okay, the box office is still a bit horrible.

But Adrian didn't care. Since he knew that this might happen and invested and let the global distribution, he naturally wouldn't care about the loss. Besides, Universal should also properly invest in some loss-making movies. The profits in the past few years have made many people envious, so it should be restrained appropriately, as long as it is within the control range, it doesn't matter.

Anyway, as long as Naomi gets a nomination for Best Supporting Actress, it can be regarded as earning, plus the previous nomination for Best Actress in "Chicago", her qualifications are constantly increasing, even if Adrian asked her to She declined the invitation to "21 Grams", and it doesn't matter if she didn't get nominated for Best Actress this year. He has plenty of opportunities here.

Unfortunately, without Adrian's support, Nicole could not get another nomination for Best Actress, of course, Minghella also failed to get a nomination for Best Director, and "Cold Mountain" also did not get nominated. Nominated for best film. And the change is not limited to this, because of Adrian's arrangement, Natalie will definitely not be able to play a role in "Cold Mountain", so when Kirsten and Amanda had a contest on the bed, they were finally accepted by Adrien. Derian gave it to Amanda.

Although she was a little young and played a widow, she did a good job, and both Minghella and critics gave her good reviews. As I said just now, Adrian has a lot of opportunities here, and the arrangements are very reasonable.

Alright, let’s get back to the scene. The screen next to it has shown the appearances of five candidates. Some are nervous, some are looking forward to it, some are calm, and some... well, their faces are slightly red, and they look Absent-minded, if you look at the auditorium from Adrian's perspective instead of staring at the screen, you will find that she has a confused look.

That's for sure, you know, before on the rooftop, holding her and shaking her until the last moment, Natalie climbed up the peak completely convulsively, exactly the same as having sex in some dangerous situations before. That excited obsequiousness made her look extremely seductive. If it wasn't for the lack of time, Adrian would like to have another shot after being gentle.

"Okay, let's see which lady can lift this little golden man." Although there were countless thoughts in his mind, he always maintained his demeanor. After the list was announced, he immediately opened his hands envelope.

"Wow, an unexpected person." After seeing the name clearly, Adrian exclaimed exaggeratedly, "Marcia Guy Harden!"

It wasn't Natalie or Naomi, but Marcia Gay Harden from "Mystic River". Immediately the soundtrack started, and the audience applauded enthusiastically. (to be continued..)
