Chapter 135 It's Beginning

As a theater that can almost be called, specially built for the Oscars, Kodak Theater has put a lot of thought into how to receive guests.

After entering through the tall square arch, it takes a long walk to reach the front hall, and then you have to go through several steps before entering the screening hall again. The reporters cannot come in at this time, so the guests can feel at ease to walk and talk while walking.

What a pity, Dan, it's such a pity, I thought you could at least get a nomination.Adrian was standing in front of a man, three women and a little girl and sighing loudly.

Dennis, wearing a suit and a bow tie, looked very handsome, while Aniston, who was holding his arms tightly, was wearing a silver sleeveless fishtail evening gown, with his hair tied behind his head very beautifully, and he could not tell at all that he was a mother.

The Dennis twins are all over the age of one year, and fortunately they are also a pair of daughters, otherwise Adrian would definitely be very depressed.

Unfortunately, Winona seems to have already entered, otherwise it would be very interesting to stay here. You should know that after being caught by him and flew with him again, Winona simply moved into their home and claimed to live with Aniston.

And according to Dennis' retelling, she was always persuading Aniston to elope with her, and she didn't know if this was a brief introduction to show love.

Adrian originally wanted to remind him to be careful of the scene of the three people traveling by the reporter, but I'd better forget it. Dennis is not a fool, he will definitely be wary of it. If he is photographed like this, it can only be said that he is not lucky.

Needless to say, the little girl next to her, except for the cute Dakota Fanning, there will be no one else. The white light blue long-sleeved chiffon covers this black dress, as well as white velvet socks and small leather shoes, looks very well-behaved.

Especially with a delicate hairpin on her golden hair, her blue eyes are wide open, and no matter who sees it, she will feel pity.

As for the other two women, wearing a sapphire blue thin-shoulder evening gown, they looked very petite, naturally Naomi Watts, who won the first Oscar nomination for his outstanding performance in "I Am Sam".

And beside her, tall and slender, wearing a big red off-shoulder evening dress, only half a head away from Adrian was the most powerful contender for the best actress tonight, Nicole Kidman.

It's okay, it's just luck, and lacks qualifications.

Dennis shrugged, looking open-minded. However, Naomi is very outstanding and has no problem with nominating for Best Supporting Actress.

Thanks.

Naomi's eyes were curved and she looked very happy and excited.

This is very normal. After wasting nearly ten years, she finally got a first-tier actress and got an Oscar nomination. How could she not be excited?

Actually, Hannah is not bad, it's a pity that she didn't get the nomination.She said humbly again at this time.

It doesn't matter, there will definitely be a chance in the future.

Dakota shrugged openly like Dennis, and his cute actions immediately attracted everyone's laughter. Only Adrian saw a hint of unwillingness in her eyes.

Just think about it, just last year, Emma and Julia's aunt and nephew were both nominated, breaking the young record of Best Supporting Actress. As Dakota, who has been praised by many people for being awesome, especially his role in "I Am Sam", gave people a deep impression and would not be undesirable.

The little girl is also precocious, and if she is indeed nominated, she will break the young record, just...

Adrian frowned slightly but recovered immediately, and then put it behind his head.

OK, let's go in.He said after looking around.

Blanchett and Liv have both come in, while Sophie and Monica are not far behind them. Kate and Sarah's shadows are already shaking at the door. Although Lin Chi-ling, Kirsten, Natalie, Rachel and others are still outside, they are just eye-catching enough.

What's more, although Julia, Zeta Jones and Gwyneth were walking in front, they had not entered the hall yet. They might come back when they saw this situation. They would not miss the opportunity to give him a good look, so it would be better to go forward quickly.

I know, this is your first Oscar nomination, you're excited, but don't be so obvious, okay, Nami?Adrian, who was two steps behind, smiled and teased Naomi.

It's all because of you, Ed, I wouldn't have happened without you!Even though he said so, his tone was filled with coquettishness, and he was obviously acting coquettish.

Now I’m not guilty of organizing my work too tightly?Adrian asked with a smile.

Naomi has two movies released this year. In addition to the already-defined "Chicago", there is also "Trilling Space" directed by David Finch.

Finch began to conceive a new movie after "Fight Club". He agreed with Adrian's statement that he wanted to find a balance between business and art. "Fight Club" is indeed too biased, a bit too cult and anti-social, so this time he plans to make a more commercial movie, just like "Psychological Game" after "The Seven Deadly Sins".

However, although the works he directed were relatively long, there was not nothing to do during this period. For example, he worked as a producer of certain movies, or produced MV collections for Madonna, and Adrian was interested in training him, so he didn't get the script of "Trink Space" from David Cape until early 2001.

He initially wanted to invite Nicole to play the leading role, and he admired her performance in Far Cry, but Nicole only completed "Mold Rouge" and needed a break, so he declined the invitation, and then Adrian recommended Naomi.

He knew about this movie. Although it was not highly praised in Finch's works, it was already quite good as a commercial movie, and this character is worthy of play.

To reflect strength in thriller, maternal love is reflected. If these qualities can be grasped and fully displayed in the movie, even if the movie has a fair reputation, good reviews of the actors are indispensable.

Naomi took the thriller route before, and there was no barrier to interpretation. Moreover, the character was rich in layers, so she could also take the opportunity to transform. No matter how she looked, it seemed to be tailor-made for Naomi.

So she decided to do so. David Finch respected Adrian's opinion very much, and after the audition, she thought she was good. As for Judy Foster, she was not short of this type of role.

As for that daughter, it was naturally Kristen Stewart. Adrian was originally considering Dakota. She was a little younger but had excellent acting skills. Although Kristen had a pretty facial features, she still didn't look like a girl without long hair.

However, considering that Dakota already had "I Am Sam" at that time and played an important role in "Beautiful Mind", he chose Christine.

The film started filming in mid-2001. After the end, Naomi did not take a long break and then started preparing for "Chicago". Adrian told her in advance that "King Kong" will be officially launched next year, and she will play the leading actress.

It’s no wonder that Naomi complained that the arrangement was too tight, and of course, this complaint wasn’t really a complaint.

Don't be so stingy, Ed.Naomi gave him a blank look, I just said that, but you still don’t forget it.

Then her eyes softened as she looked at him, filled with this indescribable attachment: As you said, I want to make up for all the losses in the past ten years.

He reached out to help when she was most helpless. He cared for her and encouraged her, helped her stand up, and fully discovered her potential. Now he gave her a bigger stage, so even though he knew that he was lustful and that he liked to chase various women who were either beautiful or temperamental or distinctive, she was willing to stay by his side.

Adrian's eyes also softened, but the next second, the true form was revealed and quickly pinched her buttocks in a flash. Naomi immediately put away her smile and rolled her eyes.

If possible, I really want to come to the bathroom with Naomi at today's awards ceremony, but unfortunately, the candidate has been decided before this.

Adrian thought about this while slowing down his pace, and soon became parallel to Monica.

Sophie is in high spirits today.Adrian glanced behind him and teased Monica like this.

Not far behind him, Sophie was walking with a smile on her face while talking and laughing with the people around her. When Adrian looked over, he gave him a bold look.

Of course, this is her first nomination for Best Actress in the Oscar.Monica smiled slightly, not all dissatisfied because Adrian came together with her but said Sophie.

But I think she definitely doesn't know that she might be happy.

She then said jokingly again that as the second woman beside Adrian to win an Oscar winner, she saw something very clearly.

Don't worry, it will happen sooner or later.

Adrian smiled and shrugged, instead of continuing on the topic, he looked at the door of the hall that was already close to him, and although the method of slowing down his talk to his woman would not be too eye-catching, it would also cause the situation where he could not speak to all women. After all, he was walking forward.

Of course, it doesn't matter. Anyway, I didn't talk to all my women on the Oscar red carpet, let alone Rachel and Natalie probably didn't want to talk to him either.

The former is used to waiting for his oppression in this way, while the latter is now probably confused and conflicted, afraid of being influenced by him when facing each other and making wrong judgments, but...

She really thought she could escape from Adrian's palm?

And even if they talk to them, there are still many women at home, such as Charlize, Ivanka, etc.

Have you really decided, Monica?Adrian suddenly asked.

Although there were some things that were irrelevant, Monica nodded solemnly: Yes, haven’t you said that people always have to try something new.I am satisfied enough in the movie, so it is good to challenge myself in other aspects, anyway...

She smiled, with a little gentleness and a little cunning, which seemed very touching in that mature style: ... Someone kept me, and it doesn't matter even if I failed.

Derian laughed and nodded: OK, come on, you will succeed.

Monica wants to create her own fashion brand, which is what they are saying. As she said just now, she has won the Oscar for Best Actress, has also a successful work like "The Matrix" that is both commercial and artistic, and has a great reputation internationally and is called a national treasure by the Italians. It is enough to have such achievements.

Not to mention anything else, even three or four years ago, Monica would not think she could achieve such a success.

She is content and doesn't have that many ambitions, especially after being with Adrian for so many years, so she wants to try something new after "The Matrix" is completed, such as creating her own fashion brand.

She has been a model for at least ten years and grew up in Italy. She is indeed a natural sensitivity to fashion. She can grasp the trend of fashion, whether it is clothing, perfume or shoes.

However, in this way, you must devote yourself to creating a brand. If you want to design it yourself, the founder should design it manually, so that you can grasp the preferences of people or celebrities and drive popularity.

If you want to talk about connections, Monica is not short of any. Not to mention that Adrian is behind her, she has many friends in the entertainment and fashion circles over the years.

But in this way, the movie has to be put on, unless it is just like some celebrities, attached to some well-known brands, and designed one or two things to attract fans to pay their wallets.

In any case, Monica is now mostly a movie star, which is why Adrian is worried. But she has made up her mind, so he chose to support her.

I am looking forward to it, Monica, I am really looking forward to what kind of trend the fashion brand you create will bring, so that the future will be more interesting.

With this idea, Adrian entered the stage hall of the Kodak Theater.

On the ceiling, beautiful lamps are circled into an oval, dazzling with a dazzling light, and a golden arch stands on the stage, which looks quite gorgeous.

Almost half of the seats that can accommodate more than 3,000 people have been seated. There are three floors at the back and more than a dozen small private rooms on both sides.

It is worthy of being a multi-functional stage, and movies, pattern, and stage plays can all be played here.

Adrian sat in his seat and said sighingly, then looked at Nicole beside him, blinking in a joking manner: Why can't the organizer arrange for us to be in the private rooms on both sides?Personally, it is more comfortable to sit where to watch the award ceremony.

Nicole snorted softly, turning her head aside to ignore him, how could she not understand what he was saying.

Adrian laughed and looked to the side. Gwyneth, Blanchett and Liv were all nearby, while Julia, Zeta Jones, Kate and Sarah were far away. This is because this year's "Mold Rouge", "Lord of the Rings 1" and "Beautiful Mind" are closest to him, so the seats of the three crews were arranged together.

This is the case every year, and it almost becomes the Oscar routine. He is the only one who can be treated like this.

After a few dozen minutes, the hall was finally full, and the award ceremony was about to officially begin.

However, the host's appearance was very special. She landed from the ceiling on a rope ladder, and the background music was also the soundtrack of "Mold Rouge". Coupled with that gorgeous outfit, she undoubtedly imitated Nicole's gorgeous dress in the movie.

Well, if it was a beauty, it would be pleasing to appear in this way and dress up like this, but Whoopi Goldberg is a beauty?

So there was a lot of laughter on the spot.

Especially when she asked her good news, the specially designed smooth tone and the swaying plump body made the scene laugh.

Adrian just shook his head slightly in his eyes. Although Nicole beside him had a smile on his face, she had a look of disdain in her eyes. After all, this is the character she is most proud of at present. She was used by a comedian or a black man to make such a spoof. Even if she knew that the other party had no malice, just to activate the atmosphere and attract attention, she would inevitably feel uncomfortable.

Adrian also saw her little thoughts and shook his head slightly. Now it was just the beginning, and Goldberg had more tricks later.

This is the fourth time that Whoopi Goldberg has hosted the Oscars. Although Billy Cristo has hosted very well, it is impossible for him to host it forever. Even if the Film Academy is willing, Billy may not agree. Although hosting the Oscars is glorious, it is also a very difficult task.

But there are not many people who can serve as a substitute for him, so to be on the safe side, the Film Academy invited Whoopi Goldberg to host this time, at least the ratings of the previous sessions she hosted were pretty good.

But Goldberg has quite...

It can't be said to be bad, but it makes Adrian a habit that people who like beauty are uncomfortable. She likes to change into some gorgeous clothes in the host to show off on the stage. Among the three Oscars she hosted before, the least one has changed into seven or eight sets of clothes.

Although the main purpose of her changing clothes is to attract attention and ratings, she still said just now that if she was a beauty, she would be pleasing to the eye, but she was a fat black woman...

This is really not discrimination, it is just to be honest.

Sure enough, in the following awards ceremony, she changed her clothes as soon as two or three awards were awarded, and most of them were imitating Nicole's appearance in "The Moulin Rouge". Although the gorgeous outfits such as pheasant feathers were not on the back, it made her look even more funny, so Nicole's face was never so good-looking.

Why bother with this matter?Adrian pulled a free time to hold her hand and whispered in her ear.

Of course, Nicole knew this, so she took a deep breath and calmed down and watched the awards be awarded one by one.
