A small celebration is being held in the office of Bothworth Pictures. The reason why it is said to be a small celebration is that there are only two people in the room now.
Congratulations, Ed, left the British speechless.Lafone held up the glass and thought Adrian greeting.
Every outstanding CEO has some privileges in his office, such as Lavern’s wine cabinet. As long as he knows the right position, the bosses generally won’t interfere.
How come there is nothing to say?During this period, film reviews about Howard Manor have appeared in British newspapers.Adrian said teasingly as he turned his cup in his hand.
Of course, the British media cannot maintain a lifetime of silence, so after a brief loss of voice, they still reported it one after another, but basically they evaluate the actors and compare the differences between movies and novels.
For example, a film critic thought that the relationship between Henry and Margaret developed too fast, and suddenly fell in love and got married, and failed to express the things in the novel. However, he immediately said that this is actually normal. After all, the movie does not last long enough like a novel.
There are many practices like choosing a little spur to calm down immediately in the British media, and they basically don’t mention the director much. I really can’t avoid it and then I said a few words in a vague way. Adrian is a very outstanding director. He really expressed what this novel wants to express in a movie. Even Adrian’s British grandmother dared not mention it. He did not consider it when he strongly criticized it before?
Hesitantly, like a sissy, not at all happy.An American journalist commented on the behavior of his British colleagues this way.
Even though the British media's admission of defeat was awkward, no matter how he beat around the bush, he expressed it, so the American media, who won this game, immediately generously stated that he had exposed it.
Of course, the tabloids never stopped talking from the beginning. Anyway, for them, the thing about skin does not exist.
Anyway, this is an achievement that cannot be ignored.Lafone said seriously.
Thanks!
Adrian smiled slightly, raised the cup in his hand to Lafone, showing a meaningful look. Then, I have done what I promised, and it depends on you now.
Lavern looked very serious: I know, I will do my best.
Don't worry, get the nomination first.Adrian sipped the amber drink in the cup, and even if you need it, I will do my best to provide you with the resources you need.
After pausing, he asked again: By the way, how about the one who is the front station or the weather vane?
The nomination list will be announced within these few days and everything will go well!
Lavern's expression relaxed and smiled. If you decide, I can start the PR event immediately after the nomination list is announced.
It has been decided, no need to change it.
Adrian waved his hand, just let Monica have a nomination, if she takes it now, the shady sounds will be loud. Neither we nor them would want to see such a situation, even if everyone knows what kind of person they are.So it’s better to sell personal favors, and... that’s it!
Understood.Lafen nodded and said no more.
Just like that, I'll leave, you did a great job, Laver!
Adrian put down the cup in his hand, patted Lavern on the shoulder to show encouragement, and then left the office and walked out.
As early as last year when he started planning and preparing these three movies, Adrian told his CEO about his plans and stated that he could completely guarantee quality, so Lavern's ability became the key.
Now, both of them have given each other a surprise. Adrian's guarantee of quality has been proven. All three movies have achieved double harvests in reputation and box office. "Pulp Novel" not only won the Palme d'Or, but also became his first work in North America with a box office of over 100 million yuan. "Smile of the Scent" and "Howard Manor" have even made many people lose their glasses. Pacino and Thompson's performances have also been recognized and praised by most people, not to mention that "Howard Manor" is a niche literary film, the box office has already moved towards 30 million - although this is obtained from overdrawing, for Adrian, this overdrawing is nothing.
Before that, Lafen got him a nomination for Best Director, and also achieved his youngest Nomination for Best Director, so Adrian can fully expect his plan to become a reality in 3 months.
A Best Actor, a Best Actress, and...
Another nomination for the best director, it is enough to have these, and it doesn’t matter whether you win the best director or not.
Adrian, who was driving the car, thought so.
Although he is very eye-catching this year, it does not mean that the Film Academy will think he is qualified to win this award.
First of all, although "Pulp Novel" has many eye-catching aspects in shooting skills, the content is too bloody and violent, and does not match the mainstream viewpoints.
Don't think that the Film Academy doesn't consider such things when selecting the Best Director, it's just that it's much looser than the Best Movie, but "Pulp Novel" must have surpassed that line.
Secondly, it’s still a matter of qualifications. Adrian’s directorial career has only been a little over two years. If he only won the best director like this, how can other people bear it?
Yes, there are many directors in Oscar history who won awards for the first time, but before that, these people have been directors in other places, such as stage plays and TV, and they have been building their connections many times.
Moreover, there is an old guy with extraordinary qualifications to compete at this Oscar, so even if the possibility of getting it is not zero, you don’t need to spend so much energy to strive for it. Instead of spending all the resources on it, it is better to try your best to ensure the best actor and the best actress.
Besides, Lafone gave him a good idea. Once he succeeded, he would be no less than winning the best director, so he didn't need to worry about it for the time being, anyway, it would be his sooner or later.
Well, this is a matter of several months, and now the nomination list has not even been released yet!
Adrian shook his head, then thought of another nomination list, the 50th Golden Globe Awards nomination list that will be announced soon.
Although the Golden Globes will bring some dark spots, they are still quite important in the United States, at least more important than film awards such as various associations.
In any case, the qualifications for the Golden Globe Awards are there, and although less than 100 judges are easily affected and manipulated, there is still a basic bottom line. The works presented can be controversial, but there must not be anything that can be seen at a glance, otherwise the next thing that will be rotten will be the Golden Globe Awards themselves.
So Adrian asked Lafone to apply for the Golden Globe Awards, mainly for Monica. Although her appearance and performance in "Pulp Novel" are not inferior to Uma Thurman, and even appear more beautiful and sexy in some places, her acting skills are indeed at least one better.
As I said before, because of her long-term modeling career, her face looks a little stiff for a lot of time, and it takes a lot of time to correct it, so there is no need to think about the nomination for the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress.
Since Monica is her own woman now, she must not treat her unfairly. If she wants to take her into her hands, both feelings and interests are indispensable, so she cannot win the Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actress, and it is absolutely OK to win the Golden Globe nomination for Best Supporting Actress.
However, it is still because of acting skills that the chance of winning the trophy is not very high.
Besides, Drew Barrymore was also the one who applied for the Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress. Since she made a deal with Drew, "The Life-Gambling Flower" made her earn a lot of praise, so why bother letting her go up to the next level?
Just think it's just to buy a favor.
Anyway, the awards will come sooner or later, so don’t worry, everything has just begun.
Adrian drove up another street with the steering wheel.
When he thought of Monica, he couldn't help but feel a little rippling.
Although I have been with Kate most of the time in the past few weeks, I have often gone to Monica to have a tryst with her. Whether it is Kate's youthful vitality or Monica's passion, it makes people particularly fascinating. I don't know when I can enjoy these two feelings at the same time.
Oh, by the way, and Julia, those five days of crazy passion were also very memorable, and it took a lot of effort to get her completely.
Adrian parked the car on the side of the road not far from his destination, stretched his waist and let out a long sigh.
But this will not be too difficult, because the goal this year has been almost two-thirds, as long as everything goes well in a few months, then...
In order to achieve this goal, he has been planning from the beginning, not only spending a lot of time, but also spending countless energy.
People only see his great success in this year because of three movies, only see his Palme d'Or through "Pulp Novel", only see his impression of Cult director through "Smelling the Scent of the Scent", only see his once questioned British people lost face through "Howard Manor", but they don't know his hard work and pressure behind this.
Only success is allowed, no failure is allowed.
This kind of pressure was also given to him by Adrian himself, because he believed that he would never fail.
It is precisely because of this pressure and belief that he completed three classic movies in the shortest time and copied them almost authentically, thus realizing his plan - in addition, sex is indeed a good way to relieve stress.
In short, once you achieve your goals, you won’t have to be so tired and nervous next year, so that you will have more time to do something else.
Adrian's fingers hit the steering wheel.
Although I have said it many times, I still have to say that everything has just begun.
At this time, a thud knock sounded on the passenger's window. Adrian then put away all kinds of thoughts and opened the car door for the other party with a smile.
