Chapter 53 Beginning

The reason why a grand event is the scale of its holdings, the degree of attention and the format of its holdings, etc. The three major European film festivals are actually no less than Oscars in scale, but they are not as popular as Oscars in terms of attention and popularity.

Many ordinary people in Europe like to watch Oscars, but relatively few ordinary people in the United States like the three major European film festivals.

As for the format of the event, it is even worse. At least the Oscars have various programs and surprises, and the hosts are also very good at engaging in the atmosphere. The award ceremony of the three major film festivals is much more boring. Adrian, who has participated in all, is most qualified to judge.

After all, it is the Europeans' self-pride and inferiority complex that they can't compete with Hollywood in business, so they have to erect the sign of art to masturbate.

After all, compared to the United States, which has less than three hundred years of its founding, they have a history of thousands of years, which is enough to support them to look at Americans with the eyes of the country bumpkins.

In order to distinguish it from the rude Americans who only know how to make money, European artists naturally have to pretend to be more elegant.

This is really a ridiculous idea. It is normal to avoid one's own weaknesses and compare one's strengths with the other party. However, it is therefore completely ignoring one's own weaknesses, as if it does not exist or thinks that those are just minor things, and what you insist on now is the best, that would seem artificial and stupid.

So I still love Oscars more.

Standing on the red carpet outside the sacred sacred auditorium, Adrian thought so, the flashing lights around him kept ringing, and from time to time someone came to say hello to him.

He is now proud and has reached three levels in three years. This speed is unique in Hollywood's history. Steven Soderbergh, the youngest Palme d'Or, is still shooting a low-cost independent film, and he is about to win the Oscar for Best Director.

I don't think anyone will have such a record again in the future.

Spielberg said to Adrian, who looked energetic, with the glasses on the bridge of his nose and his beard neatly trimmed.

Thanks.

Adrian responded with a smile, knowing that the other party was congratulating him in advance, and anyone with discerning eyes could see the value and influence of "Forrest Gump", and he also has an excellent public relations staff.

I should be the one who said thank you. I have seen the location you provided in the past, and it is indeed very similar. Yian and the others believe that the similarity between props is at least 90%. Your suggestions are also very suitable. It seems that you have done a lot of work.

Spielberg said with a smile.

I just happened to be making a new movie in the UK and just happened to have an Irish acting as an extra.

Adrian shrugged and explained, of course, I did collect a lot of relevant information before, and that novel is planned to be adapted into a TV series of about ten episodes.

The two of them said naturally that "Save Private Ryan" at this time. The script had been delivered to Spielberg two weeks ago. He liked it very much and immediately started preparing.

As a gift, Adrian told him that there is a narrow beach in Ireland that is very similar to Normandy, where you can set up a set to shoot.

The most intense Omaha beach in the Battle of Normandy has now become a protected historic site, and Spielberg could not have photographed there, so it is important to find a suitable beach.

At this time, Adrian delivered the place to his hands in time, and in addition to this, he also made many suggestions, such as allowing the actors to train in devils, or using documentaries to increase the sense of reality during shooting and landing warfare, which gave the three giants of DreamWorks a lot of favorable feelings.

This is one of Adrian's plans. AC Media and DreamWorks are now on the same front, and AC Media also has some shares in DreamWorks, which is just right to accelerate their development and attract more attention.

Besides, they were going to do this, and they told them that they could still gain a lot of favor, so why not do it?

After talking to Spielberg for a moment, Adrian immediately said goodbye and walked towards the auditorium along the red carpet. Although there were constant shouts of reporters outside the guardrail along the way, he just smiled and nodded but never answered questions.

Should I congratulate you in advance, Ed?

A familiar voice came from the side, wearing a light-colored low-cut backless evening gown. The bra inside held the pair of softness high, making the deep ditch look something else tempting. The big waves drooped softly on the shoulders, and the signature lips were slightly raised, and the look was very charming.

You have congratulated you before, Julie, meaningful and reminiscent.Adrian raised his eyebrows and looked at her.

How could Julia not know what he was saying? If she had put it at another time, she would definitely use it. Do you still have to try it now? Provoking it back, but now she is surrounded by so many reporters, so she can only take a deep breath to prevent her face from burning.

It seems I'm one step behind?

Another familiar voice came into his ears, and Adrian sighed in his heart, while the reporters around him showed excitement, and the camera in his hand was pressed faster.

Monica, wearing a dark purple deep V-neck evening dress, appeared in front of the two of them, her black straight hair hanging down like a waterfall, and her own style compared to Julia's big waves.

The sexy lips were slightly opened, the collar was so deep that it was almost as deep as the navel, and most of the two hemispheres were exposed outside. There was also a bulge in the key areas, which seemed to be without even a breast patch, which was extremely attractive.

If Julia's sexy is charming and friendly, which makes people unable to help but want to come forward to chat with her, then Monica's sexy is naked temptation, which makes people want to hug her in their arms and play with her freely.

Unfortunately, they are all mine now.

Adrian said softly in his heart when he noticed the envious gaze from the group of reporters taking the photo, and then responded with a smile: It's not too late at all, Monica.

OK, then congratulations, Ed, may your dream come true tonight.Monica said so.

Thank you, with your blessings, my dream will definitely come true.Adrian said meaningfully.

However, Monica is more accustomed to his style than Julia. Even though there are reporters around, she still smiled at him charmingly, but immediately turned to look at Julia: Hi, Julia, it's been a long time since we saw each other.

Yes, it's been a long time since I was gone, how are you doing recently?

Not bad, I played a role in a low-cost independent film. What about you?

A new romantic love movie is in preparation, and I have agreed to play the heroine.

The two women started talking as if no one was around, and Adrian beside him seemed to have become transparent. The reporters were even more excited. The camera in their hands kept pressing, probably thinking about how to write a report after they went back. It was either Monica and Julia had an intimate conversation, but Director Miracle was left aside. The former dating partner had now become a stranger.

Adrian shrugged meaninglessly, only he knew that the two of them had met again.

Then, I'll leave first.He said as he seized the opportunity of two women's brief pause.

See you later.Monica and Julia said in unison, then walked to the other side to continue chatting.

After laughing in his heart, Adrian walked straight into the Holy Auditorium. There were no reporters inside, which made him relax a little. After sorting out his clothes, he glanced at the people talking here about to raise their legs and walk towards the inner hall when another familiar voice came into his ears: Oh, I have been waiting for you for a long time, Ed.

Hey, Qiqi, so you are here.Adrian's eyes lit up as he looked at the girl standing by the front door.

Today, Kirsten dressed very beautifully, wearing a pure white dress, which complemented the dark short-heeled leather shoes. The white velvet socks were very short, and they returned to their ankles. With the white bud hat, they looked particularly pure and cute.

Only Adrian knew what a mature and ambitious soul hiding under this pure and cute appearance.

Am I good looking today?Kirsten pulled up the corner of his skirt and turned around with a smile.

Very beautiful.Adrian said in admiration, "No one among his peers is more beautiful than you are now."

Yeah?Kirsten was behind his back with his hands, and his small chest looked even more cute, but he looked at Adrian's pair of gray and green eyes with deep meaning, thank you, Ed.

As she said that, she sighed again, with a little resentment between her eyebrows: I really didn’t expect you to go to London to shoot a new movie. I had a lot of things to ask you in person, but unfortunately I can only do this on the phone now.

Although her round face was a little tender, this resentful expression did not feel any inconsistent, but instead made her look more Lolita's.

Although there were not many people in the front hall, there were still some. Although such a blatant temptation was just a little bit Adrian took a deep breath, especially when she mentioned the phone.

After the preview of "Night Visit to Vampire", Adrian's guidance on her added one more content. Although it was just a finger, it was still enough to make Kirsten fascinated with the ultimate pleasure of the first taste.

But she is still a girl after all, and she cannot run around without her parents' permission. So she has only been to Adrian's office twice since last year, and she can't continue after he goes to London. It is conceivable how disappointed Kirsten will be.

Although she has maturity beyond her peers, it does not mean that her self-control is equally strong.However, Kirsten still learned something under Adrian's training, and he could barely solve it.

After the Oscar nomination list was released, although she knew when she chose, the possibility of losing the Oscar was greater than that of the Golden Globes, and although she also told Adrian that it didn't matter if she lost, since Kirsten, who had chosen to fight for the Oscars, how could she not desire this seemingly within reach honor?

So the little fairy worked harder to tempt Adrian, for example, while talking to him...

Think about it, while panting and moaning came from the phone, she outlined the girl's appearance in her mind, and told her how exciting this half-brained temptation is.

A little goblin is a little goblin, and you can always do something that surprises and excites you.

Don't worry, "The Brave's Game" is about to start filming, and I will take some time to guide you.

Adrian said with a smile, since there are such a smart and studious student, how could he not try to train?

In fact, Kirsten has already achieved initial success now. If it weren't for some reason, he would have eaten her up.

Okay, let's go in, there are still dozens of minutes to start.Adrian said and made a request gesture.

Fortunately, Kate didn't come when she was pregnant, and Blanchett, Gwyneth, and Liv are not suitable for attending the Oscars yet. Although there are tickets, it would be more disadvantages to face them at the awards ceremony too early than Lisarah. Although she can, she doesn't want to participate. Needless to say, the reason is, even though she has accepted certain facts, it does not mean that she can face them completely calmly.

Anyway, if they were all here, Adrian would have had a headache.

Despite this, you will still meet some acquaintances who must stop and chat, such as the Hanks who came later but entered the front hall of the auditorium first, or the Winona and Dennis who came together, and the Cruise who were talking to the director of Mission: Impossible near the entrance of the hall.

Hi Tommy, Nicole, Bry, I'm so glad to see you guys.Adrian greeted them happily.

Hi, hello.Kirsten, who was always following him, also smiled and waved.

See who is here, the best director tonight.Cruise laughed and patted his arm.

Thanks.

Adrian responded with a smile, but shook his head in his heart.

Tom Cruise's communication skills need to be improved. Even if everyone knows that Adrian is basically sure to win the best director tonight, he must add the most likely word in public, otherwise he will neither respect Adrian nor other nominees.

And if everyone said Adrian was the best director in such a positive tone at the beginning of the voting, maybe the judges would vote for others.

Therefore, Nicole next to Cruise immediately turned her head away. Although Palma had a good relationship with Cruise, she still shook her head slightly. Even Kirsten next to Adrian lowered her eyelids and pretended not to hear anything.

What a pity, the judges at the Film Academy are too conservative. They should at least give you a nomination. Ms. Rice personally admits that you are the best.Adrian said immediately.

It's OK, they always do it.Cruise waved his hand as if he didn't care, but the four people standing next to him could see the unwillingness in his eyes.

Has the release date of Mission: Impossible?I have missed the premiere, but I don't want to miss the premiere again.

Seeing this, Adrian changed the topic. I can't wait to see you and your wife perform well in the movie.

After saying this last sentence, he looked at Nicole. The other party immediately turned away when he touched his gaze, as if he was unwilling to look at him.

Adrian smiled slightly in her heart, and it seemed that everything that had been left at the Paramount CEO's reception that night was still in her heart.

If nothing unexpected happens, it should be June.Cruise answered his question and glanced at his wife.

Are you planning to lead the summer vacation trend?

Adrian was slightly surprised because Cruise looked at Nicole with an obvious look, and it seemed that there was a little suspicion in it. Is there something he didn't know that happened?

Not counting, after all, we only have such a movie.Palma next to it intersects.

That's right, so you might be able to come up with a few more blockbuster movies like last year.Cruise then came to his senses and showed his signature smile again.

Obviously, even if anything happened, it had nothing to do with Adrian. Otherwise, with Cruise's stinginess, he would not have stood here and talked and laughed with him, even though Cruise's attitude still seemed a little careless.

This is not easy, you need to know that some things have to be based on luck.Adrian shrugged, suddenly thinking of something, picked up his arms and held his chin and stared at Cruise.

Cruise was slightly stunned and stopped talking. Nicole, who had not spoken around him, showed a complicated look. What Adrian's action meant was self-evident.

Maybe... Adrian slowly opened his mouth after thinking for a long time.

no problem.Cruise gave the answer readily without waiting for him to finish.

oh?Adrian raised his eyebrows unexpectedly. Although this guy is a little petty, has a strong desire to control and has a bad social level, he is not a fool.

You can...completely...as per your own opinion.

Cruise said with some pain. With his desire to control, this was a big concession. The fact that he had to produce "Mission: Impossible" was still vivid in his mind.

Don't worry, Tommy, I still have a lot of things to be busy with recently. Wait until I think about it carefully, and then take some time to talk to you in detail, so be patient.

Adrian laughed and patted his shoulder, then looked at Nicole deeply again, this time, her blue eyes did not dodge and bit her lip lightly, not knowing what she was thinking.

He didn't say anything further, and after saying goodbye, he took Kirsten into the inner hall, where nearly two-thirds of the people were sitting in the inner hall.

Adrian soon found his seat. As before, the crew of the same company produced the film crews sat together, but Adrian was the director of Forrest Gump, and Kirsten was the supporting actress in "Night Visit to Vampire", so he sat several seats apart.

Don't worry, it will be yours.Adrian said, touching her head as he separated.

Kirsten originally wanted to say something, but seeing that his mother was sitting not far away, she ended up nodding like an ordinary girl, but the look in her eyes was a bit meaningful.

Already knowing jealousy?Adrian chuckled in his heart, recalling the figure who was standing with Cruise in a fiery red evening dress, and then sat in his seat.
