The reason why Adrian desperately made three high-quality movies to release within 1992 was to maximize his fame in the shortest time.
Think about it, how many people will be sought after and paid attention to a director who can win Oscars and actresses and won the Best Director nomination in the circle?!
With such fame, it is undoubtedly of great help to his career. Needless to say, the invitations and temptations of those big film companies. Even with his vision and Cloud at the helm, AC Media still needs to rely on alliances to develop for a long time.
And the number of people who want to talk to him at various cocktail parties and parties suddenly increased a lot, and there were signs of this as early as after the Golden Globe Awards dinner, and there will only be more after the Oscar nomination list is announced.
The most common producers, investors, agents, screenwriters, directors, etc. are still actors.
As long as you can win a trophy, Golden Globe or Oscar for the Best Actor, you can greatly improve your fame, which is of considerable benefit to your development.
Which of the men and women who go to Hollywood to seek development is not for fame and profit?
If you like acting and art, you are just saying it. After all, you still need to be glamorous on the surface.
If you really devote yourself to the performing arts, it might be better to go to Europe, of course, and it is even more chaotic.
In short, for them, celebrities are just a job, a job with low investment and high returns.
Of course, a director who can make money and make awards is their biggest win-win target. As Lavern said, no matter how good the PR is, you must first have a movie of quality.
In Adrian's view, this is also a good opportunity to expand his connections, and it is more convenient for his agency company to find suitable actors, screenwriters, directors, etc. who have not yet become famous.
As for his first goal, those women he wants, as long as he has fame and power, are you still afraid that he will not be able to get it?
This does not conflict with canvassing for the best actress for the male and female lead.
Lafone explained, and I believe that Al and Emma's team will also canvass for themselves, so we can completely divide some of our energy and resources to work hard on the best director.Of course, Emma Thompson is British and lacks in Hollywood, and we will pay attention to this.
Can be considered.
Adrian gave an answer after thinking for a long time, but it is necessary to ensure Al, Best Actor and Emma's Best Actress!As for the best movies, you can consider them at your discretion.
The influence of winning the best director while winning the best director is definitely several times greater than the influence of winning the best director nomination.
Since the Film Academy has the intention to award the best director to him, why can't I work harder?
When I think about setting another record, I can't help but feel a little excited with Adrian's calmness and self-control.
Of course, this must be based on ensuring the best actor and actress of Pacino and Thompson. If you fail to steal the chicken, it will be more than worth the loss.
Lafen also heard what he meant and nodded immediately: I understand, I'm careful.
Then I'll leave it to you.Adrian didn't say much, then stood up and left Lavern's office.
He roughly understood why Lafone was so enthusiastic. In the past decade, especially at Bothworth Pictures, although Lafone had won nominations for the films produced by the company, he had never won the award once.
Well, I can't say that there was no one at a time. I have won the Film Critics Association Awards several times, but there have never been any of them with weight, such as the Golden Globes and Emmys, let alone the Oscars.
Now with Adrian's support and trust, his abilities have been fully utilized and he won the nomination for the best director last year, but unfortunately he ended up losing for various reasons.
So in the face of such a good situation this year, he naturally wants to better show and prove himself through public relations awards.
Everyone has their own desires and goals to work hard, so Adrian acquiesced to Lavern's approach.
He believed that with his steady attitude, he would not have given him the film company and also allocated a little option for rewards.
After leaving the office, Adrian went straight to the Human Resources Department, where he still had some things to deal with.
Since last time he told Lafone to find a secretary assistant, the Human Resources Department has recommended several people, but he is not very satisfied. After all, the two jobs he has to do, even if these two jobs are alternately carried out and the intensity is not high.
Therefore, Adrian simply asked the Ministry to conduct public recruitment, so various application letters flew in like snowflakes. Just the preliminary selection took most of the energy of the Ministry, which made the staff complain.
Our main job every day is to open letters and read letters. Mr. Adrian, can we do something else?
An assistant from the Human Resources Department sat in his seat and looked through the application letter and complained.
Adrian has a good reputation in the company. As long as he is not directing or late-production, he will make too much jokes with the staff, maintaining the boss's majesty and having a sense of affinity between colleagues, so the staff sometimes like to joke with him.
Don't worry, it will end soon, just find the right person.Adrian smiled and he was also looking through these application letters. There were so many kinds of people.
Can you give us some accurate news?Another employee asked at this time.
This is indefinitely, maybe tomorrow, maybe half a month later.Adrian shrugged, pretending not to hear the disappointment, and reached out to get another neatly stacked letter.
Those are unqualified job letters, Mr. Adrian.The assistant in front of him said remindingly.
Adrian was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand: It's okay, I'm just looking at it.
After saying that, he picked it up and continued to look it up. Sometimes it was so wonderful. If Adrian listened to his assistant's advice, he might have missed something. It has nothing to do with whether he can predict the future. This is called luck.
Looking at the application letter in his hand, Adrian was stunned for a long time. He almost rubbed his eyes to see if he was dazzled.
This was drawn from the last few letters. After all, they were all abandoned things. He didn't need to read them one by one, but he never expected to see such a name.
This is a girl under 18 years old. Her handwriting is very standardized and neat. In the introduction, she said that she has received training and has some internship experience. She hopes to get this opportunity. Her words are quite sincere and she also has photos posted. Although she is only one inch in size, she looks pretty.
Well, none of these are the key, the key is that her name is, Charlize Theron!
Mr. Adrian.The assistant's voice suddenly rang out. Adrian, who was holding the application letter, immediately woke up and looked at the other party: What's wrong?
Your phone number is from the front desk.The assistant handed the white receiver to him.
Thanks.Adrian said and took it over, Hi Teresa, is there anything wrong...is it...well, please ask her to my office and I'll go there right away.
After putting down the phone and thinking about it, Adrian got up and was about to walk out. After only two steps, he stopped again, and the application letter was still in his hand.
Looking at the things in his hand, he hesitated for two or three seconds, and then asked the assistant: Are there any interview arrangements recently?
There is on Thursday morning.The assistant recalled it and gave the answer.
OK, arrange her in too.Adrian didn't say much and handed the application letter directly to him.
Wait, Mr. Adrian, this doesn't fit... The assistant glanced quickly and then started shouting.
Don't worry, I know.Adrian, who had already walked a few steps, turned around and interrupted his words with gestures. It was just an interview and there would be no problems.
Then, without waiting for the other party to speak, he strode out of the Human Resources Department's office.
The age is comparable. Although the photos are small, they still look a little similar, but...
How is this possible?!
Adrian couldn't figure it out. If this is the butterfly effect, it would be a bit exaggerated, right?
Before he knew it, he came to his office. The door was covered with a faint slit. Although there was only one slit, the situation inside was very clear. The slender figure was sitting in the chair waiting for her.
Adrian immediately put away his mind. No matter what, let’s talk about it during the interview, and deal with the things in front of him first.
Hi Sarah.Saying hello, Adrian walked into the office with a smile that was the same as usual.
Hi Ed.
Sarah Michelle Gellar responded immediately, but her smile was very reluctant, as if she was squeezed out. The haze that had disappeared almost disappeared appeared between her eyebrows again, and her beautiful face also lost some of the previous glory.
It seems that it is because of that incident.
Adrian made a preliminary judgment in his mind.
He sat down behind his desk and changed into a concerned look: How have you been doing recently?Your face doesn't seem to look good?
Well... I don't have a good sleep.Sarah lowered her head and said with a light voice.
OK, do you need any help?Adrian immediately changed the topic.
After being silent for several seconds, Sarah spoke again: In fact...my mom didn't know that I was here today.
Adrian couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, which meant...
OK, I won't tell you mom.He said in a very serious tone.
Sarah finally raised her head and looked at Adrian with some hesitation, biting her lip as if she was very conflicted.Adrian said nothing, just looked at her and waited for her to speak.
The undulation of her chest gradually became larger, and her hands were pinched into fists, her eyes were extremely strange, as if she was resisting or afraid of something, and as if she was resisting this resistance, her body trembled slightly as if she was making the final struggle.
Finally, Sarah closed her eyes tightly, opened her again, straightened her chest, and sat upright and made her own choice.
I want to be a big star!The girl looked at Adrian, her face turned slightly pale, and a tremolo sound echoed in the room.
Think about it, how many people will be sought after and paid attention to a director who can win Oscars and actresses and won the Best Director nomination in the circle?!
With such fame, it is undoubtedly of great help to his career. Needless to say, the invitations and temptations of those big film companies. Even with his vision and Cloud at the helm, AC Media still needs to rely on alliances to develop for a long time.
