9days ago Urban Novels 8
As usual, the nomination list for the 50th Golden Globe Awards of the Film Awards was announced on December 19. Although most people expected that Bothworth Pictures would occupy the biggest limelight, they were still shocked after the list came out.

Basically, three films produced by Bothworth Films account for all nominations except comedy song and dance movies and special awards!

Best movie, Best director, Best screenwriter, Best actor and actress...

Even "Smelling the Fragrance" and "Howard Manor" were nominated for the best movie at the same time, so some people think that if he makes a comedy movie or a foreign language film, he will also get nominated.

This is naturally referring to the co-director and producer of those three films, Adrian Cowell, who is called the Wizards director!

This is definitely not an exaggeration. Not to mention his previous movies, the three works released this year alone are enough to make people blinded.

"Pulp Novels" that won the Palme d'Or and earned 100 million yuan in North America; "Smelling the Scent of the Woman" which allowed Al Pacino to perform happily and reverse his impression of filming cult-style movies; and "Howard Manor" which left the British speechless.

Especially in the end, this niche movie actually achieved a box office of 30 million in North America, and is currently moving towards 40 million. The media even exclaimed that even a movie that is obviously losing money can make a lot of money as long as it comes from his hands!

It wouldn't be a big deal if these three movies were made by three directors in the same year, or were made by the same director in different years, but now they were made by the same director in the same year...

Frankly speaking, this kind of thing has never happened in Hollywood.

So it is normal to get so many nominations for the Golden Globes, and it is normal to get such evaluations. It is just that people need time to digest this reality. After all, it is the first time that someone has done this.

A reporter from the Los Angeles Times wrote: Maybe, "Wizard Director" can be changed, how about "Miracle Director"?

Of course, this term is largely just a joke and a joke. Although the Golden Globe Awards are a bit important, they are still not as good as the Oscars.

However, the Golden Globe Awards are also one of the Oscars' several vanes, so many people want to know what will happen when the Oscar nomination list is released more than a month later?

So many journalists chased Adrian, wanting to hear how he felt about winning so many Golden Globe nominations and his look at the Oscars.

But Adrian always played Tai Chi with them, either using empty words and clichés to deal with it, or simply saying nothing.

Because he has a lot of things to be busy with, such as attending the movie premiere.

Hey Sandy, how are you lately?Your complexion looks good!

Wow, beautiful Ms. Pullman, you are getting more and more beautiful, it's amazing.

It's so glad to see you, Mr. Andrews, oh, don't mention that golf, it's so miserable.

Through the bustling crowd, Adrian greeted the people he knew and came to the center of the front hall of the theater.

The reason why there is such a big formation and so many guests is that the upcoming movie is the "Jurassic Park" that invested more than 60 million yuan and took more than a year to produce!

After watching the sample, Universal, which released one-third of the funds and was responsible for issuing, immediately decided to hold a huge premiere for promotion, so the current situation came into being.

It's a pity that you were not present at that time. Ed, they were still calm when the long-necked dragon appeared at the beginning, but they immediately became stunned after the Tyrannosaurus Rex appeared.

A middle-aged man standing next to the flower table near the bar said with a gaze. He had a light beard with fluffy hair but not messy, thick eyebrows, and his eyes were always narrowed into a line. If he kept calm, he would be very majestic, but once he smiled, he was a little cute.

You really shouldn't have said this to me, George, I've begun to regret it.Adrian cooperated and showed a look of annoyance, which immediately made the middle-aged man laugh.

This middle-aged man directed "Star Wars" and founded the famous Industrial Light and Magic, the famous George Lucas!

After completing the filming of "Jurassic Park" and basically planning the post-production work, Spielberg gave it to his friend Lucas to take charge, and then found Adrian to prepare for "Schindler's List" and soon went to Poland.

Even now, Christmas is coming soon, and he is still in Krakow for filming, so Lucas, who is in charge of most of the post-production, attended the premiere of the film on his behalf.

It's OK, it's going to premiere soon, you'll see it soon.Lucas laughed and patted his shoulder.

Do you know, George, I have heard many people say that you are a very serious and serious person, but when you see you today, you realize that those rumors are unreliable.Adrian said so.

In fact, in a sense, these statements are correct. I am indeed very strict at work, but it would be too boring if I do this in normal times.

Lucas shrugged and then looked at him and changed the topic: Let's talk about you, Ed, how are you feeling recently?You are the most popular director in Hollywood now. What are the media saying about you?Even...

Don't mention this, George.Adrian smiled bitterly. I am now thinking about what kind of theme to produce for the next movie so as to add back the overdrafted part now.

Do you have such concerns?

Lucas laughed, and then thought of something and showed an interesting look. What, what new ideas do you have?Are you going to start making new movies crazy?

No, no, although there are new ideas, I will have to take a few months off before talking about them. I don’t plan to do anything like this year.

Adrian shook his head and then turned the topic elsewhere: By the way, George, are you really not going to make a sequel to Star Wars?If you don’t consider the sequel, how about the prequel?We can't be disappointed all the time.

The two kept talking about the topic, and Lucas seemed very happy under Adrian's invisible compliment.

After chatting for about ten minutes, he was about to say goodbye and leave, but Lucas immediately patted his shoulder again and said inconsistently: Thank you, Ed, you did a good job.

Adrian was stunned, but when he looked at Lucas' sincere appearance, he quickly reacted and chuckled humbly: This is nothing, what Steven did should be praised.

Don't be so humble, Ed, Steven told me everything you did, no one can do better than you.He has been running around for this movie, and as an old friend, I am very happy that someone can help him realize his wish.

Lucas said seriously, if it weren't for the premiere, I would have given you a drink and thank you very much.

There will be a chance.

Adrian said something and remembered. Although I was busy with my own affairs, I was always paying attention to Poland. I heard from the staff there that Steven's mental state seemed to be not very good.

Yes!

Lucas confirmed his statement, and his voice sounded weak when I was on the phone.This is not surprising. Just thinking about experiencing the original tragedy through the camera will make people shudder. For Steven, it was an absolute torment.

I can imagine it!Adrian nodded sympathetically, so, after Christmas and New Year, we might be able to visit him together in Poland.

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

Then let it be!Adrian made a gesture to leave and contact him later if he has time.

OK, please contact me if you need anything.Lucas waved his hand with a smile.

George Lucas.

Adrian, who walked into the crowd, muttering the name, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Is this the first benefit of investing in Schindler's List?

Of course, we will have to establish a good relationship with Industrial Light and Magic for a long time in the future, and even after entering the 21st century, Industrial Light and Magic is the largest special effects base in Hollywood.

Although Lucas has not many directorial works, he has built up a huge connection based on this, not to mention that he is also a Jew.

Shaking his head gently, Adrian turned his attention to the surroundings and searched for Kate's figure.

Because they didn't want to be caught by reporters and asked about this and that, they entered the theater vestibule through the side door. After Adrian found Lucas and chatted with him, Kate, who felt that he couldn't get in touch, left first.

There are so many people!

Looking at the bustling crowd in the vestige, Adrian sighed helplessly. It was not easy to find Kate in this situation, but he was still trying hard to find because Monica was also here for the premiere, and when he was chatting with Lucas before, he had obviously seen Kate and Monica walk by not far away.

Adrian wasn't worried about any conflict they would have, and Monica would attend the premiere of Jurassic Park, precisely because he personally called and hinted in his words not to refuse.

So, Adrian wants to know more about what kind of conflict will arise between the informed Monica and the uninformed Kate?

He wasn't worried at all, Kate would know sooner or later anyway.Moreover, this is a small experiment!

Unfortunately, there are too many people in the front hall. Global seems to be eager to invite all the celebrities in Hollywood. There are several more familiar producers along the way, not to mention those directors and actors who have met once, just saying hello and greetings will almost blow his mouth.

You really know how to run away, where have you gone?

Adrian walked to a cylinder and stopped, looked left and right and shrugged with amusement.

Then, a warm body crashed into his arms.
