Chapter 21 Big Apple

Two weeks passed quickly, and the Venice Film Festival gradually came to an end, but the highlight had just begun.

For various film festivals, the most eye-catching thing is the award ceremony, especially this year, many outstanding works participated in the exhibition.

For example, the UK's "The Death of Stern", New Zealand's "The Angel of My Deskmate", Chile's "The Man in the Mirror" or the American "Good Guns", and of course, there are also the pure British black humorous "Two Big Smoke Guns" produced by American newcomer Adrian Cowell.

So far, "Two Big Blows" has basically ranked among the top five in the film festival, but 60% of this attention comes from the messy but orderly shooting techniques, while 40% comes from the director's nationality and the style of the movie.

As we all know, because of a series of factors, cultural British look down on Americans, but now the debut of an American newcomer is a British black humorous movie, which has to be said to be an interesting thing.

There are not a single American director who can make British-style movies, but most of them are quite famous people. Adrian has no works before this and has not even had short stories. He is basically a director who is too new to be new.

And she is a native American, but her debut work can make such a pure British style, which is amazing.

The British media explained this that Mr. Adrian's grandmother was British and he lived in London when he was a child, so he could make British-style movies, needless to say, it was revealed by Gary Brooke of Toukennan Films.

Of course, it is unknown how many people believe it.

In any case, people who are following the Venice Film Festival are curious about this movie, especially the people of Britain and the United States. The curiosity is raised, which invisibly gives "Two Big Smoke Bowls" a good popularity foundation.

In addition, Adrian won the Best First Award at the final awards ceremony to bring the film to more attention.

To be honest, Adrian never expected to win the award. Although "Two Big Blows" is pretty good from the perspective of the whole story, the European critics and directors did not like the artistic flavor, so when the award presenter announced it, he was very surprised for a while, and after being pushed off by Lavern, he came to the stage to receive the award.

Thank you to the judges for presenting this best debut to me, and I will tell every story in my future works.

After a brief speech, Adrian waved the trophy in his hand and returned to his position.

It’s not that Adrian had hoped that he could win one or even several awards, which would be of great benefit to his fame and the promotion of the movie, but after he actually got it, he began to disagree.

If it was the Golden Lion Award, that would be great. It would be meaningless to win the Best Debut Award.

Adrian mumbled in his heart.

In so many famous movies in the past life, how many of them have won this kind of comforting award?

This is how people eat what is in the bowl and look at what is in the pot.

However, he left this idea behind him after thinking about it. No matter what, it was at least an honor, the first honor he received after his rebirth, and the first step to establish his reputation, so the celebration banquet was still to be held.

It was just that because everyone did not expect that the award would be won, they did not book a restaurant or any other location. After the award ceremony, they were celebrating everywhere. In the end, they only found a small bar in the hotel where they were staying for a few drinks.

Even so, everyone was still very happy, including Lavern, who had been busy at the film festival. He didn't expect that what Adrian said to him more than two months ago would really come true!

Although the film company can only earn some distribution fees this time, it is undoubtedly a dawn that has passed through the darkness, and the new boss obviously will not stop there.

Because there are few people and the scale is small, and the location is not very suitable, the celebration party ended quickly, and Adrian took his sweetheart back to the hotel room.

Although Kate, who attended tonight, is not as good as the female stars from all over the world for the time being, her beautiful facial features and her youthful aura are particularly beautiful, especially the bright light between her eyebrows and eyes is extremely attractive. Since the broken melon has recovered, the two of them can almost be regarded as singing every night. Kate was just the first taste, and Adrian was teasing her, so she was completely addicted to it and could not extricate herself.

In addition, Adrian also specially selected a royal blue one-shoulder evening dress for her based on her impressions in her previous life and her experience in this life, which complements her temperament. Then he asked a hairdresser and beautician to take care of her. He attracted many attentions when walking on the red carpet.

I should congratulate you, Ed...Ah... When Kate just said something, he was pressed against the wall without hesitation. Kate giggled twice and then clamped Adrian's waist with his legs.

There was naturally another fierce collision, but the intensity tonight was far greater than before.

From the wall to the ground, from the bed to the sofa, from the bathroom to the window, there is no trace of love between the two. Not only do they use a lot of fancy styles, but they also ask each other again and again, as if it will never be enough.

Both of them knew that they were about to part.

In any case, Kate will go back to graduate from high school, and Adrian will return to the United States after the film festival to continue to turn his plans into reality.

So separation is inevitable, so the madness before separation is inevitable, even if we will meet in at most two months.

After the Venice Film Festival ended, after handing over the release of "Two Big Blows" to Lavern, Adrian sent Kate back to London, and then reluctantly flew back to the United States, but he returned not to Los Angeles but New York.

The Big Apple is the economic center of the United States of America; Wall Street, the economic center of the Big Apple.

It is full of greed, calculations, traps, cruelty and intrigue.

Even so, there are still countless people who are investing here one after another. This is the power of capital.

But Adrian came here not for capital. Of course, in a sense, he came here to meet someone.

I've told you long ago, Ed, don't do anything like a scoundrel all day, but when did you listen?In addition to drinking or drinking.

The old man put down the knife and fork in his hand, took a sip of wine and said slowly while rubbing his hands.

He had a slightly bald forehead, a high nose bridge, a rosy face, and his brown hair was neatly combed backwards, somewhat similar to Adrian's father, but there was not much expression on his face, and he looked at Adrian with a little disdain.

I know, Uncle Anderson, I'm already changing myself now.Although Adrian was a little unhappy in his heart, he replied in a respectful tone.

Change?Go to make a movie?Be a director?

The old man said sarcastically, are you still so unemployed, or do you think that acquiring a film company can prove that you have cheered up?What can continue to take the Cowell family to this day is not the self-righteous cleverness. When will you truly mature?

Adrien felt annoyed but still listened patiently. Fortunately, another old man on the long table spoke at this time: OK, Anderson, Ed is at least working hard for himself. Can't you say something to encourage?

effort?Going to make a movie?Anderson snorted coldly and didn't say anything else, clapped his hands and stood up and left the restaurant.

The old man couldn't help but sigh and looked at Adrian with an apology: Sorry, Ed, you know your uncle...he actually loves you.

It's okay, Aunt Marsha, I understand.Adrian wiped the corner of his mouth with a tissue, suppressing his unhappiness.

Go to the living room for a cup of coffee and tell me about the movie.Martha said with a smile on her feet.

Happy is coming.Adrian nodded and stood up, and the servants immediately stepped forward to pack up the table.

Anderson Cowell, Adrian's father's brother, is typical wasp, stubborn, old-fashioned, serious.

He and Adrian's father have a good relationship in business but don't deal with each other in private. They always talk about the family or the other. Neither Adrian nor the current Adrian like him.

The Cowell family is indeed a long history. According to the records of Adrian's father putting it at home, the ancestors can be traced back to passengers on the Mayflower!

It has been brilliant for hundreds of years, but there are ups and downs. Now it has been spread across the United States, but the family has no way to talk about it. Anderson is just to seek some psychological comfort.

Even so, Adrian came to New York to visit his uncle because he had a huge network of relationships on Wall Street.

As I said before, no matter where or where, human relationships are essential, and even in the United States, human relationships rarely surpass the rules, but they are only rarely.

In the past two years, because of the previous life of Adrian, his father's network of relationships has almost been cut off, and there are always things like this.

If he hadn't had a good godfather and a good best friend, he might have been cheated out long ago, and there were many playboys who had been cheated out in the United States.

Now that he has become him, he has his own ambitions, it is essential to regain the network of relationships.

Fortunately, it was only a waste of two years and the tea was not completely cool. Otherwise, he would not have contacted several major film companies so easily, but it is impossible to fully make up for the relationship between the past two years by counting.

Adrian also understood this, so he came to New York just to visit his uncle and aunt, and never mentioned anything else when chatting with them. These things have to be done step by step.
