Chapter 184 Best Supporting Female

"White Oleander" was released on March 12. Because it is an art film, the schedule is not very good, and the number of theaters is very small, so there is not much box office. However, it is similar to the original version, and has a very good reputation.

Whether it is Amanda's daughter or Kate's adoptive mother who committed suicide in the end, they all praise it more than critics. They not only praise Amanda for having great potential, but also praise Kate for showing her own performance style that is completely different from the action actress.

As for Julia, this is her first appearance in this hateful, crazy but pity female role, so the comments are a bit polarized.

Some people think that she accurately grasped the character characteristics of the character. Her previous independent sweetheart image has begun to be fixed. It is very beneficial for her to expand her acting career by boldly trying new characters. However, some people think that her transformation was a failure and her interpretation was too stiff. Not only did she fail to achieve the desired effect, but it also affected the reputation accumulated over the past few years.

The number of people on both sides was equal, and no one said he was dissatisfied with each other, which indirectly made Julia return to the public with a new attitude.

This is why Adrian asked someone to arrange the schedule of "White Oleander" at this time. Julia has been in the media for almost two months. If this continues, the popularity accumulated in the past is likely to begin to lose a large scale, if she plans to act in a movie in the future.

So Julia, who is struggling to do postpartum recovery exercises, needs such a movie to evoke people's memories of her through arguments.

In fact, this is no big deal. "White Oleander" was positioned as a literary work at the beginning, so it doesn't require much box office. It's enough to recover the cost. The key is still reputation.

Although his views on Julia are divided into two parts, people who are not so extreme believe that Kate, who plays his adoptive mother, goes to prison to visit Julia, who plays his biological mother.

That feeling is difficult to describe with ink, and the emotions are not very intense, but both Kate and Julia are integrated into it and convey the feelings to the audience.

The most exciting shot of the whole movie.The Hollywood Reporter commented.

Of course, no one except Adrian knew why such sparks were created between the two women, and then conveyed their feelings very well.

It seems that even if such scenes are arranged in the future, it is best not to go to the scene during the filming.Adrian whispered.

Um?Amanda, who was nestled in his arms, raised up.

nothing.Adrian then laughed and flipped through the newspaper in his hand. You didn't disappoint me, Amanda, I like the saying "very potential".

It's great to get your recognition, Ed.Amanda smiled and looked very happy, which was sincere.

Although Adrian did not say it clearly, Kirsten told her that in order to maintain his position in Adrian's heart for a long time and to make himself more dazzling in public, in addition to giving everything he has to do for him, strength is also a very important factor, whether on or under the bed.

Should I say something to congratulations?Kirsten, who was cutting the apple next to him, asked with a smile.

Of course, Amanda said you helped her a lot.Adrian smiled very badly.

However, the little goblin didn't care at all. Although the two of them had similar personalities, Kirsten had been with Adrian for several years after all, and was not worried that Amanda would steal the limelight at all, so he quickly reached an agreement with her and formed an offensive and defensive alliance.

Amanda is also a smart person. He knows that his time is still short, so the two hit it off and often exchanged various experiences. Adrian had a good test last night.

OK, congratulations, Ed, and congratulations, Amanda.

Kirsten said as he put the cut pulp into his mouth, then leaned in front of Adrian, pushing the pulp in with his tongue after kissing him.

Adrian raised his eyebrows and was about to praise her. Amanda's lips came over again, blocked them and hooked the flesh in his mouth with his tongue and ate it.

Hey, this is what Qiqi gave to me.Adrian pretended to be dissatisfied.

But she congratulated us both at the same time.Amanda said teasingly with his eyes bent, if you are not satisfied...

Kirsten on the other side immediately cut another piece into his mouth and put it in his mouth, then crossed it to Amanda's mouth, and then Amanda used his mouth to put it into Adrian's mouth.

You really like playing tricks like this.Although Adrian sighed, there was a clear statement between his eyebrows, so the apple was eaten.

Speaking of which, it’s the Oscars’ awards ceremony again. When will Ed let Amanda try it on the red carpet?

As we chatted, we talked about the award ceremony that was about to be held, and then Kirsten asked.

Amanda immediately lowered her head and coughed lightly. There is no doubt that this is Kirsten helping her get an opportunity, but would it be a little too early to say this now?

Although the two hit it off, they were not to the point where they completely opened up. Naturally, she didn't know Kirsten's reliance. Besides, Kirsten was not just for helping her.

There were many fun things at the awards ceremony.Kirsten looked at Adrian as he said this, with a meaningful light flashing in his eyes. I kept savoring it, it seemed like I did it again.

Stop thinking, Qiqi.Adrian smiled and reached out to hang her nose. It was your turn to queue up. Don’t worry. Amanda, there will be opportunities. Take your time.

Although Amanda was a little disappointed, she immediately adjusted. She was very patient. As for the fun things Kirsten said, oh, you can guess a rough idea without thinking.

In addition... Adrian laughed again when he thought of something. Qiqi, I'm afraid everyone can't walk the red carpet this year.

Why?Kirsten was a little puzzled.

You'll see the news soon.Adrian spread his hands out.

This year's Oscar is different from previous years. The Academy of Film Arts and Sciences does not intend to carry out large-scale publicity this year, and even the red carpet practice has been cancelled because the Bush administration is going to use force against Iraq in the next few days.

Hollywood has always been a gathering place for the left, and there is never a shortage of people who hate the government. After Clinton broke the zipper door incident, Christo showed merciless mockery when presiding the Oscars.

If there were legitimate reasons to fight Afghanistan before, but it would be a bit unreasonable to fight Iraq. The reason for weapons of mass destruction is really bad, so most of Hollywood stars, big and small, stand firmly on the anti-war.

Unfortunately, these are useless efforts. The government and the interest groups behind them have made up their minds to do and will never change because of opposition from them and the Americans.

But for Adrian, this is a good thing, at least avoiding being asked about the war by reporters on the red carpet several times before. Although he is a miracle director on the red carpet, the identity of AC Media’s chairman cannot be erased.

If what he said is misled by someone who is interested, it will inevitably lead to some bad reactions. Although Adrian is good at saying nonsense that seems gorgeous but is actually useless, this is a ability that every public figure must have, but how to understand it is the listener's business.

Although he has cut these two identities until now, he is basically a director and producer when facing the public, and only in the office is the chairman of the board, it is like two sides of a coin, which may not appear in front of him at the same time, but it always exists.

Of course, no reporter dares to make guiding hints in the report, which is equivalent to declaring war on AC media, but it is necessary to do this little on the Internet, such as someone who wants to teach him a lesson or conduct a test, is somewhat troublesome, and he can't stop the reporters from asking questions, right?

At that time, even if he turns around and leaves without saying a word, it can still make people interpret a lot of things.

So it would be a good thing for him not to walk on the red carpet.

However, if some people are happy about this, then some people are disappointed about this. For example, ABC, who is responsible for broadcasting the award ceremony, complains a lot.

Although Oscars have always been one of several programs with very high ratings, it has also been a downward trend recently. Now that the publicity has been reduced, the red carpet has been cancelled, and the Iraq War is about to break out, you can imagine how far the ratings will fall.

In addition, there is Lao Touzi who came from afar. As the first Chinese director to attend the Oscars, he really dressed up and looked very energetic in Zhongshan suits, but the stage where he best showed a person's style was cancelled. It is absolutely impossible to say that he is not depressed.

However, his mentality is pretty good. When he saw him in the Kodak Theater, he looked calm. No matter what, the glory of the mainland director Oscar No. 1 is entirely his.

The one who hosted this Oscar was Steve Martin, a veteran comedian who had hosted the 73rd Oscars. Perhaps the Film Academy thought he hosted well, so he invited him again.

Frankly speaking, Martin did a good job, both funny and humorous, and although the laughter in the hall was not loud, he never stopped.

However, the atmosphere of this session was a little more solemn. Basically, there were no guests dressed very brightly. Even the female celebrities who had always competed for beauty at the award ceremony had put on evening gowns that were close to black or white. In this case, it would be strange if the atmosphere on the scene could be as warm as usual.

Actually, this is not bad, at least it is very likely that I will sit in the chair for a few hours.After the Best Art Director was awarded, a snorted hum sounded neatly from front, back, left and right.

Because the seats of various crews related to him are arranged as always, especially The Devil and The Lord of the Rings 2, both directed by him, plus a Chicago, Gwyneth sat on his right hand, Blanchett left on his left hand, Liv sat behind him, and Zeta Jones sat in front of him.

As for Naomi, she is a little far away, but she is very close to Nicole in "Infidelity and Seduction", the protagonist of both movies is George Clooney.

Among the four women, Liv was not passionate at the award ceremony with him, but she had lived with Blanchett and Gwyneth for so long, and was taken up by Adrian early. How could she have never heard of such a thing? So when she heard this sentence, she naturally hummed it with the other three.

Adrian could only shrug with a laugh and sighed in his heart. He didn't know which guy arranged seats like this. This must have been intentional, right?

Okay, let’s pay attention to the award list.

He immediately changed the topic. You know, I insisted on investing in and introducing the Chinese movie "Hero", so I might as well guess whether I can get the best costume.

Because Universal bought the North American copyright of "Hero", it was not limited to the best foreign language film when filing. Therefore, in addition to this nomination, I was also unexpectedly nominated for the best clothing.

This is indeed an accident. Adrian did not interfere with all the applications. They can only say that their luck is better than the original one. Although it is almost impossible to win the prize, there are two that are more commendable than only one.

Sure enough, "Chicago" won the best costume and the best art director before. This guy Weinstein is indeed very good at public relations. "Chicago" won thirteen nominations, even more than "Lord of the Rings 2".

Not only that, even Depp, who performed well in "Pirates of the Caribbean", was nominated for Best Actor by him!

If it weren't for the higher chances of "Chicago" winning the award, he might have pushed "Pirates of the Caribbean" to nominate for the best movie.

When the guests on the stage read out their names, Zeta Jones's shoulders in front were obviously shaking. So far, "Chicago" has won three awards. Although they are all technical, they also make the crew very motivated, and the next one is the Best Supporting Actress.

I have to say that every nominee is a very good woman. Casey Bates, you are willing to be a foil. You have too many honors. The same is true for you. Ms. Meryl Streep, don’t laugh; Pollet Lawrence, doing beautifully, quite wonderfully; Catherine Zeta Jones, oh, although there are only such a short scene, your performance is amazing; Sophie Marceau, one of the most beautiful French women, gives a refreshing feeling in "Yeye Moment"!I really don't know who to vote.

Steve Martin sighed loudly on the stage, which is why I can't host the voting work.

Suddenly, there was a burst of laughter at the scene, and then, Jim Browderbent, the winner of the previous best supporting actor who was the award presenter as usual, walked out from behind with an envelope.

I agree with Steve.As soon as he appeared, he said this and immediately caused a lot of laughter, but in this way we had an excellent host.

The applause rang out immediately, and Martin was still cooperating and shouting: I love you, Jim, say a few more words.

Although some people asked me to say more, I also wanted to say more, but for the sake of more people, I should do what I should do.

Browderbent was not at all inferior to Martin when he was whispering, and then he opened the envelope in a laugh: Okay, then the winner of this year's Oscar Best Supporting Actress is Katherine Zeta Jones!

Immediately, the soundtrack of "Chicago" sounded, and although Adrian had already revealed some tone to her before, Zeta Jones stayed for several seconds before standing up.

She held her face with her hands at the first time, her body trembling slightly, as if she was so excited that she could not help herself. Only Adrian knew that she took this opportunity to look at him. No matter how scheming she was, there was only a look of gratitude in her eyes at this moment.

Thank you very much... After taking the congratulations along the way and taking the Little Golden Man from Browderbent, Zeta Jones, who controlled his emotions, began to deliver a speech.

There is nothing to say about the whole speech, basically it is thanks for the past and is somewhat formulaic.

This is normal. In this atmosphere, several winners have ended their speeches with the call for peace. How much can Zeta Jones be asked to do?

Moreover, her speech was full of emotion. She first reviewed the nominations she received in recent years to express her excitement. Then she thanked the Film Academy, her family, and the entire crew of "Chicago". What's interesting is that Adrian's name is not on the list.

In short, the formula is not very abrupt. In addition, it is different from her previous life. She is not pregnant now. She is still graceful and bright and charming, and is well maintained. Adrian also specially found someone to carefully design a set of finger care methods for her. Although it cannot be compared with other women with slender fingers, it is much better than in her previous life.

So after her speech, she won a lot of applause.

Congratulations, Kate, finally got his long-cherished wish.After she came back and thanked the people around her, she sat down, and then leaned forward slightly and whispered behind her head.

You won't mind that I didn't add your name to the thank you list just now.

After the camera on the screen moved elsewhere, Zeta Jones turned half of his head. Although the white goose neck was somewhat wrinkled, it was still full of the charm of a mature woman. He was also wearing a shoulder-mounted strapless evening dress. As long as he looked forward a little, he could see the deep ditch below. Although the color of the color cannot be too bright, the style and other aspects were completely unlimited.

No, of course not.Adrian smiled slightly and sat back.

The excitement gradually calmed down after getting the Little Golden Man, and she immediately returned to her previous appearance. Although she only gave Adrian a half-sided side, her complicated expression still clearly flashed through her face.

Adrian was not in a hurry. He had patience. Now, what she had promised her at the beginning had already obtained what she wanted most. How could he not guess what would he think in his heart?

So, tell me, my little doll, what choice would you make?
