Chapter 86 Next

At the Academy Awards ceremony, there is an object that will always be thanked by the winners, that is the School of Film Arts and Sciences.

They founded this award, they ran it, they decided who would win it, so every winner had to thank them, which is a symbol of power.

But at the 73rd Academy Awards, a person seemed to have a tendency to share this power with them to thank them, which sounded a bit ridiculous. The film school is a group, how could a person be on par with the group?

But unfortunately, this is indeed true.

A few years ago, when Al Pacino got his wish, he had already thanked Adrian for winning the Best Actor, but people hadn't noticed that even though he kept winning the Best Actor in a few years, even if someone kept putting a series of halos such as miracle directors, ace screenwriters, and gold medal producers on his head, it was not until today that people suddenly burst out that people were surprised to find that he had already had considerable influence in several major industries in the film industry!

Of course, as a single person, it is certainly impossible to compare with the Film Academy, but the winners of several important awards are so publicly expressed their gratitude, and at the same Academy Awards ceremony, there has been no one except Adrian for so many years.

Although he only went on stage as a filmmaker when the Best Movie was awarded at the end, his name was endless at the award ceremony. The audience may not know that he is not in the world, but there is his legend in the world. This Chinese saying is true, but they have definitely seen a movie, one of Francis Coppola's top works: "The Godfather"!

So what?

Adrian looked at Claude with a smile and took the cup from the bartender. Everything I did was within the scope of the rules. No one stipulated that the chairman of the board of directors of the Media Group could not be a director or producer, nor did anyone stipulate that the director and producer could not use the power they could use to promote and public relations for themselves. I am a very law-abiding person, as long as others also abide by the rules.

It's Ah, you are a rare genius.Claude also laughed. No one can be like you, both having a huge media group and making excellent movies.

That’s right, there are many producers in Hollywood who are powerful and good at winning awards, such as the Weinstein brothers under AC Media.

Similarly, there are many big directors who can make good movies and always shortlist for Oscars who have connections and connections with their own large film companies, and Spielberg is an example.

But Weinstein could not produce a movie like Spielberg, and no matter how public relations and publicity Spielberg could not reach the level of flexibility and agility as Weinstein, just like fish and bear's paw, you cannot have both.

But Adrian unified the two. He not only has the largest media group in the world and has a huge publicity machine, but also is good at discovering the strengths of screenwriters, actors, directors and even producers and guiding them to the peak of their careers. At the same time, he can direct and produce high-quality works that meet the taste of Oscars. This is the most important thing. Even if the guests who participated in the Oscars tonight were grateful to so many people for their gratitude to Adrian, they might be able to attack "Never Compromise" or Julia or Nicole's various shortcomings, but they would never dare to say that they are not qualified to win the Oscars.

The quality of the movie is there, and no one can deny it unless he talks lies with his eyes open, but in that way, it is not just Adrian who offended it.

Because of this, Adrian was not too worried about the reaction of the School of Film Arts and Sciences. After all, it was a loose group with thousands of members. Even he himself was one of the members. Many of them had interests with him. It was not difficult to differentiate them when they had a large amount of resources.

Adrian has always been good at stopping a little bit ahead of the bottom line. As he told Claude, he is a very ruled person, as long as others follow the rules.

As long as he controls it properly, even if someone wants to lift the table, he may not be able to lift it up.

Hello, Mr. Cowell, I was just listening to some people discussing you, but I didn’t expect to meet you here.A voice came into Adrian's ears at this time.

The person who spoke was a woman in her thirties. She sat next to her and asked the bartender for a drink before turning around to say hello to Adrian. Well, it was much better than the others who wanted to pick up a chat.

Hello Miss Ryan, I didn't expect to see you here, you are still so beautiful.Adrian pointed politely.

Diane Ryan, a female star with youth as famous as Brooke Little and Jennifer Connery in the 1980s, is also one of the recognized vases. Young idols can never escape this label.

To this day, Brooke Little is getting married and divorced, and he is no longer in the glory. Jennifer Connery switched to film TV series because of Adrian. Two movies that should have made her comeback. "Beautiful Mind" gave Gwyneth, and "Requiem of Dreams" did not appear at all. Adrian hated this cruel and cruel movie. It was useless except for the soundtrack. In short, it was the typical intentional purpose of doing something unusual to others to attract attention.

This is off topic. Although Diane Ryan is still active in the film industry and is also a regular party like Oscar Night in Vanity Fair, she can never take off her vase hat, so it goes without saying why she chatted with Adrian.

Of course, as a woman who has been in this circle for more than 20 years, she knew very well what to do best. After chatting with Adrian for a few minutes, she politely said goodbye, without any sign of entanglement.

A very attractive woman is also very eye-catching, much better than those who like to be entangled.Claude praised him from the side.

From the beginning of the Vanity Fair party, people kept coming to chat with Adrian and chatting with him, including men and women, old and young, actors and producers, magazine editors, etc. Even though they were still complaining in the Holy Auditorium dozens of minutes ago, why so many people were thanking him.

Humans are animals of interest, so Adrian doesn't have to worry about the bad impact of today's these.

Want to talk to her in private?Adrian asked with a smile, "Before you are still free now."

Oh, hell, don't mention that OK?Claude rolled his eyes and seemed quite painful. Dad already... Forget it, let's leave it to you, the Godfather of Hollywood.

Come on, Crow, don't use this title, okay?Adrian sighed.

how?Claude raised his eyebrows in surprise. How could a miracle director with huge influence in Hollywood feel inappropriate?

Of course not, I just don’t like the word Godfather, which can easily cause a lot of associations, and I prefer another word.Adrian smiled, King!

After saying goodbye to Claude, Adrian began to wander around the party. He was not for entertainment. Some people were waiting for him to comfort him, and of course, some people didn't need it.

Why am I sad? You have made me mentally prepare hundreds of times. Do I still need to care?Kate shrugged naturally, as if he really didn't care at all.

Well... Adrian didn't know what to say for a moment, so he touched his nose before asking again: Then I'll leave.

Kate made a gesture of asking for help.

Did I really leave?Adrian raised his legs and acted to leave.

Kate looked at him with a smile.

Are you really not going to keep me?Adrian frowned.

Why should I keep you?There are many people waiting for you.

Kate snorted, I just saw Gwyneth being so depressed there, and it seemed that no one wanted to pay attention to it. Don’t you plan to comfort her and show your demeanor?

Then you have to show it to you first.

Adrian laughed and reached out to sweep the hair on her ears. Okay, then I'll go over. Be careful, there will be more and more reporters around you, so be careful when taking Lily out for fun, don't let them take pictures.

You have said this hundreds of times.Kate rolled his eyes.

Adrian smiled and glanced around. Although there were many people, there seemed to be few looking here, but in fact, it was unclear what exactly.

This happened just so he immediately pinched Kate's chin, came over and kissed her gently on the delicate lips, and then left.

Kate was stunned for several seconds before looking at his back and sighing with a complicated mood.

Hey, why are you here alone?Adrian soon came to Gwyneth, who was sitting in the corner holding a wine glass.

The girl looked at him resentfully, then looked up and drank the drink in the cup.

Ha, this is not like my baby.Adrian laughed and reached out to put his hand around her shoulder. He was just a best supporting actress, so why bother to care?

I didn't care, I just... Gwyneth said distinguishingly, biting her lip and looking very unwilling to accept it. I just... don't want to lose to that woman!

Speaking of this, she suddenly looked at Adrian suspiciously: You must have someone give her special public relations support, Ed.

How could it be?Adrian laughed in silence.

Well, Gwyneth's agent and public relations team were arranged by Adrian. He didn't give any special advice, so they didn't use all their means to go public relations, so even if her parents were still helping her, they still couldn't control the results.

Adrian did not deceive her, and he did not give any special support in Nicole's public relations.

OK, dear Gwyne, don't care about these.

Adrian's hand slid behind the sofa, hugged her waist and stroked it back. In my opinion, this is better, constantly failing and working hard, and then when you pick up the Little Golden Man, everyone will cheer for you, and no one can question you.

He paused and looked to the side, just in time.

Russell.Adrian shouted, and the new actor passing by immediately stopped and walked over with his girlfriend.

Ed.He looked excited, obviously immersed in the joy of winning the award.

How does it feel to be the best actor?Adrian asked jokingly.

Great, very awesome, I love the feeling.Clo smiled and replied.

Don't be too proud.Adrian smiled and reminded him, and then changed his subject. By the way, "Beautiful Mind" has been on the filming for a month, isn't it not bad?

Well...it's really not bad.

Although I don't understand why he suddenly turned to this topic, Clow answered seriously. Mr. Nash is an amazing mathematician and an elusive wise man who seems to be in the middle of madness and sober. I still remember visiting his house, he was almost...

Speaking of this, Clow seemed to think of something funny: it took him almost ten minutes to think about whether to drink black tea or green tea.

After saying this, everyone present laughed, and Gwyneth was no exception.

It has to be said that Ms. Alicia is also a great woman. Fortunately, she has taken care of Mr. Nash day after day, otherwise he might not have woken up.Clow said immediately.

Did you hear it, Gwyne, you play a great woman.Adrian immediately turned to Gwyneth and said, "Can you fully interpret her inner self?"

certainly.Gwyneth showed an unhappy look, and Lang praised me more than once, Russell could testify.

That's right, that's true.

How could Clown at this time not understand why Adrian called him over, and nodded immediately and said: Gwyneth is excellent, Ed, Mr. Director does admit that it is very suitable for you to recommend her to play Ms. Alicia. I think it may be possible to celebrate her in the next few days.

Maybe I can celebrate you at the same time, so I'll wait to see the finished product.Adrian glanced at Gwyneth meaningfully, then laughed.

After chatting for a few more words, Clow left, then Adrian looked at Gwyneth's gray-green eyes: Do you need anything else to say?

No, I will do the things I need to do.Gwyneth said, lifting her chin.

Then, I'm going somewhere else, sorry, baby.Adrian kissed her lips at the same time, then got up and left.

Looking at his back, Gwyneth couldn't help but frown slightly again. She always felt that she seemed to have overlooked something.

After comforting Zeta Jones and teasing Julia with little Emma, ​​Adrian left the party hall and walked into the corridor.

It's so strange that I clearly saw her here just now.After walking back and forth, he said to himself strangely.

Or go see Nada first and come back?

Although I want to keep her for the last time, it would be a bit regretful if I go back early.

Adrian thought so, and was about to go back to the hall when his hands suddenly reached out from the corner, grabbed his collar and pulled it over, and then pulled it into a house next to him.

Before Adrian could speak, his mouth was blocked by his wet lips. The other party attacked fiercely, as if he wanted to seize the opportunity to overwhelm him. Naturally, he fought back without hesitation. His tongue was entangled with each other, and the sizzling sound kept ringing in the dim room. If it took a long time to break up, the two of them would pant.

You deliberately led me over.Adrian chuckled after pressing the chandelier switch.

So what?Nicole's face was flushed, her gray-blue eyes were also hazy, and she giggled, and she was extremely charming.

She whispered and pulled up the hem of the skirt, took off the thong inside two or three times, then kicked it to the side, and then skillfully unbuttoned Adrian's belt, unzipped the zipper and grabbed it in.

fuck me！

She was breathing heat in his ear with a faint smell of wine. Obviously, she had a few drinks before. I know who you are going to accompany tonight. It doesn’t matter. I just need to do it now. I want you to invade me hard!Ed, do you understand? He is fierce and merciless. If you don’t make me paralyzed here, I will never let you go!

I like how slutty you are now, Nicole.Adrian, who felt her hand movements, took a deep breath, as you wish, but...

He made a purse action: I don't have that much cash to pay for this fee tonight.

You are really the worst client in the world!

Nicole said gritting her teeth after looking at him for a while, but the excitement in her eyes became stronger, and one of her legs was raised and pressed against his waist, but it didn't matter. I'll treat you for free tonight, are you satisfied now?

Very satisfied.Adrian laughed and picked her up.

********************

It's Ah, it's a bit regretful, but it's normal, I'm a little younger.Natalie absent-mindedly dealt with the producer in front of her, while glancing around from time to time with her out of her light.

This is exactly the problem with the Oscars. Awards should be awarded to those who are truly talented, not to depend on who is of seniority. Frankly speaking, I think the practical significance of "Bones in Winter" is higher than "Never Compromise".

The producer rambled.

Natalie smiled without answering, glanced around again, and still no one was seen.

You want to find Mr. Adrian?The producer saw it.

Yes, no matter what, I should thank him in person, like… Russell or Julia and the others.Natalie took a deep breath.

I'm afraid I'll have to wait for a while. I just saw that he seemed to have gone upstairs with a lady.The producer blinked, so we might as well find a place to chat in private and wait for him to come back.

No, no, I have to go back, it’s not too late to say thank you later.Natalie picked up her handbag and was about to leave.

I can send you back.The producer said immediately.

Thank you, no, Natalie's tone became cold, and I arranged everything when I came.

After saying that, she hurried out, but fortunately, the annoying fly did not follow, which made her feel relieved. At the same time, the fierce conflict in her heart also made her feel uncomfortable and uncontrollable.

After witnessing Adrian's powerful influence tonight, Natalie knew that he could indeed win herself to the top of the world as long as he wanted. After being so close to the highest Oscar honor and setting a nomination record, and then passing by, she had never longed for it like now, especially when she knew she could not get it, when Spacey opened the envelope on it, she still hoped that the name she had recited was her own as if she was possessed.

Now, Adrian has proved what he said, but... she is scared...
