King of Hollywood

Chapter two hundred and twelve

Birthdays are always very important, and the importance is directly proportional to time, whether it is a person or a festival or an event. So far, the Oscars have been held for 70 years, how many 70 years are there in life? So it is no wonder that the organizers will organize this awards ceremony with such great fanfare.

Not to mention the outside situation, Adrian couldn't be more clear along the way. There are more fans, reporters, and guests here than any other session. As for the inside, it is even more magnificently decorated, especially above the stage, there are two wrapped busts of statuettes on the left and one on the right. As soon as the guests enter the door, they will immediately catch their eyes, giving people an inexplicable feeling. impact.

There is a large screen between the two sculptures to show movie clips and the appearance of the nominees, etc. The previous screen was only half the size of this one, and it was placed next to the awards platform. As for the current one, it is suspended in the air and can be pulled up after the broadcast is over, without affecting the host, award presenters or the band performing.

"The effect is very good. This will definitely be a memorable awards ceremony." Adrian whispered to Gwyneth who was sitting beside her.

"Of course." Gwyneth smiled very affectionately, holding her hands tightly with Adrian's underneath, obviously planning to make up for what she didn't do outside, if she didn't dare to go too far , I'm afraid I've already linked my arms.

"I heard that this is the last time that the Shrine Theater in Los Angeles will host the Oscars. The Academy of Film plans to hold the award ceremony in a more luxurious theater in the future." Cameron interjected, ignoring the intimacy between the two.

"Yes, the new Kodak Theater is about to be completed, and there is news that they plan to hold the awards ceremony there." Adrian replied, and if nothing else happens, it will be the only place to hold it in the future.

After clapping Gwyneth's hand, Adrian turned his head and looked around, and soon found Blanchett. The other party immediately caught his gaze. Although there was a distance between them, Adrian still noticed Blanchett's displeasure when he saw Gwyneth beside him, but... it was for himself Whether it's for Gwyneth or not, I don't know.

Julia and Monica couldn't find it. Although he knew their seats, the hall was so big after all, but he found Rachel's position, which was at least 5 rows and 9 seats away from the front right. She sat there very quietly, and occasionally said a few words to the people around her. Adrian liked her temperament very much, and also liked to tear this temperament to pieces.

Zeta-Jones was just a row ahead. As before, the crews of "Titanic" and "LA Confidential" sat very close. Although she chatted enthusiastically with the makeup artist sitting next to her, she raised her head and glanced here and there from time to time, which made Adrian chuckle and chatted with Gwyneth more intimately.

Soon, the lights were dimmed, and with Billy Crystal jumping onto the stage, the 70th Academy Awards ceremony began. Adrian thought about it, this should be the seventh time for Christo to host the Oscars. He has participated in every Oscar since 1993, although the most impressive host is Whoopi Goldberg—who watched her The constant change of costumes will be impressive - but the best host is undoubtedly Crystal.

Basically, the Oscar awards ceremony is hosted by those well-known comedians. Although there are countless comedians in Hollywood, high-end comedians will not rush to the third party as soon as they open their mouths. Even if there are jokes on the third party, they will be very euphemistic Not too many, Christo is undoubtedly one of the best, otherwise he would not have hosted the 7 Oscars.

Well, along with Crystal's gag, here's a video of how he was forced to host the Oscars, a composite of clips from five of the best films. In this video, he was spit on Leonardo who taught Gwyneth to spit, he was pressed in the toilet by Crowe and Rui Fan to repair him, and he was despised by Nicholson and brought the spirit of the ocean. Xin served as Leonardo's model, making the hall burst into laughter continuously.

After such a lot of tossing around, the awards ceremony immediately began with the awarding of the first awards. Not surprisingly, the one who presented the awards was the one who said "I love you" countless times in his acceptance speech last year, and was ridiculed for almost a whole year. Cooper Gooding Jr., so it was self-explanatory which award was presented.

"This is really an embarrassing thing. As long as you read it, you will offend four other women with different styles. It's really embarrassing." Little Cooper? Still read it out: "Well, please remember those four, I actually don't want to do this, but I have to announce that the best supporting actress is..."

Adrian narrowed his eyes, put his hands together in front of his face, as early as when he got the nomination list, he had already determined that someone might get at least 80% of the Best Supporting Actress, so his lips parted slightly , followed the voice of little Cooper Gooding silently read out: "At that time", Kim Basinger

The audience suddenly burst into warm applause. On the big screen, the appearance of Kim Basinger occupied the entire screen. She covered her mouth uncontrollably, while her husband Alex Baldwin hugged her and congratulated her repeatedly. It's an interesting thing, right? Even though Adrian got the right to adapt "L.A. Confidential" and even if he replaced Zeta Jones, Kim Basinger still won the Best Supporting Actress award at the 70th Oscar.

The film "At that time" she starred in tells the story of a homeless person in a small town in the north in the 1970s. Changes that have taken place during this time. Because the director's rhythm is well grasped, and the plot has a very main theme, he won four very important nominations for Best Film, Best Director, Best Supporting Actress, and Best Original Screenplay.

Basinger played a single mother in it, not particularly outstanding but enough to get a nomination, coupled with the long-term accumulation of qualifications and contacts, there is no serious opponent this year, so she won the Best Supporting Actress hands.

Adrian clapped his hands with a smile on his face, and looked at Basinger who came to the stage to accept the award with great interest. This movie called "At that time" does not exist in his memory, perhaps because he has not seen it, but he may not have any impression of a movie that can get four Oscar nominations, right? So there is only one possibility, such a change is caused by his butterfly.

Thinking of this, Adrian smiled. The reason why chaos theory is called chaos theory is that the universe is unfathomable. From the moment he was reborn, every move he made was affecting the changes in the world. Besides, hadn't he changed much? Emma's parents, Kirsten's statuette, or those two women who should be famous, active or passive, why bother too much?

After all, Hollywood is Hollywood. As a world film factory, it is normal to produce a movie like "At that time", isn't it? Just like in Japan, although the three major migrant workers made a mess because of his mess, but in January, the Xiao Xuekan serialized a comic of a newcomer. Once it was published, it received considerable praise and became a hit, and the author of this comic is called Oda Eiichiro

Reality is always more bizarre than novels, and novels need to be rational, at least logically self-consistent, otherwise readers will not buy it, but if something unreasonable happens in reality, everyone can only accept it.

Therefore, Adrian doesn't have to care about the possible consequences of these things. He just needs to hold the movies in his memory tightly, and advance the adaptation rights of those popular novels as he did before. Selling it, and then seizing all the opportunities he can seize, is enough for him to build a solid empire.

Basinger had already stepped onto the podium to give a speech at this time, and Adrian withdrew his gaze and turned to Zeta Jones in front of him. Although he told Zeta-Jones that he should not want to win the prize this time, and Zeta-Jones himself knew this, but at this moment it is still inevitable to show a look of disappointment. Unless you are a heartless person, you will be indifferent to the possibility of flying away that is close at hand.

She quickly realized something, and turned her head to meet Adrian's gaze. Adrian smiled slightly and gave her a comforting and encouraging look. There was no usual flirting and teasing in this look, only sincerity. Zeta Jones couldn't help but froze for a moment, a complicated look flashed in his eyes, but he quickly reacted, returned his smile and turned away.

Adrian chuckled in his heart, and then Gwyneth's voice sounded in his ear: "Where are you looking?"

The voice was full of resentment, and one could imagine what she looked like now. Turning her head to see, it was indeed so, biting her lips lightly, with resentment in her eyes, as if she felt aggrieved and dissatisfied with his turning his attention to other women.

"What's wrong?" Adrian asked in a relaxed tone.

"It's nothing, I just want to know what you're looking at." Gwyneth pursed her lips, honestly speaking, her temperament was not suitable for this action, but at the moment she looked very playful.

"Okay, then I'll keep my eyes on you from the beginning to the end tonight, anyway, I don't have a single nomination." Adrian chuckled, the hands that were clasped together tightened, then let go, and then He sneakily reached out to her plump inner thigh and pinched it moderately.

"Forget it, the awards will be presented again soon." Gwyneth snorted softly, gave him a supercilious look, and then turned her gaze to Crystal, who was playing tricks on the stage again, but her hand was in Adrian's mind. When he wanted to retract his hand, he grabbed it and pressed it against his thigh. She also understands in her heart that it's fine to play with her temper, and it's not that she doesn't know what kind of character this bastard is.

Although their voices were not loud, it was impossible for the people sitting on both sides not to hear them, but whether it was Cameron on Adrian's side or other people on Gwyneth's side, they all regarded them as air and sat upright. looking at the stage.

The Best Supporting Actor followed closely behind the Best Supporting Actress. After the award, Christo continued to show off his words. Many people were ridiculed, including the one in the White House. The affair between Clinton and Lewinsky is now a turmoil and everyone knows it. With Hollywood's practice of making fun of the president, how could he escape.

"...So, this lesson tells us, don't touch the interns." Crystal concluded solemnly, it sounded like he was talking about "LA Confidential", but the last sentence As soon as he came out, everyone knew what he was talking about, and suddenly burst into laughter.

"Did you hear me, don't touch the interns." Gwyneth couldn't help but whisper in his ear, half teasing and half mocking.

Adrian smiled slightly, and the hand on her thigh slipped inside. Gwyneth hurriedly clamped her leg, and glared at him angrily. Adrian chuckled again and took his hand back.

When many people talked about this incident, they thought that Clinton was almost impeached because of having an affair with a White House intern, but this is not the case. As I said before, it is common for a president or a senior official to sleep with a political intern. Phenomenon, just like a night in Hollywood. The real reason for Clinton's impeachment was lying. When the judge asked him whether he had an affair with Lewinsky, he gave a firm denial. Finally, after the affair with Lewinsky was exposed, political opponents seized the opportunity and believed that he Now that he lied about this kind of thing, who knows if he lied about other things, which triggered a series of things.

Well, these are in vitro words, the next step is the technical award, the best sound effect, no doubt, easily won by "Titanic". Then, the big ship began to rush forward, as if it had just sailed out of Southampton, the spirit was invincible, and the best sound editing, best costume design and best art direction were all in the bag.

Although many people had expected this result, they still couldn't help but swallow their mouths when they actually faced it. The kind of award presenters kept announcing that the awards in their hands were won by the same movie, and when the soundtrack of this movie played one after another, it felt really hard. To describe it, even Crystal couldn't help but tease: "Well, maybe we can discuss it, how about sharing the awards with other films?"

"It's really surprising. I have won all the awards so far." Gwyneth said excitedly beside her.

"Calm down, my dear, it's not the most important award yet." Adrian patted her hand. He has always been calm, leading all the crew members to stand up in the soundtrack after each award announcement Congratulations to the winners.

Need to be that excited? That's what Titanic deserves, isn't it? Adrian thought so. He glanced at Gwyneth, who was still a little excited, and then shook his head slightly in his heart, wondering how disappointed she would be when the best actress was announced.

It can be seen from the Best Supporting Actress that the Academy of Film will not give too much consideration to "Titanic" in the performance award this time. Among the five nominees, the most threatening Kim? Ruth's Gloria Stewart, after all, "Titanic", which is heading for a global box office of 2.1 billion, is more oppressive than the box office of only one billion at the award ceremony in memory.

Because of the unprecedented 15 Oscar nominations, the big boat is still staggeringly supported by the theaters. Many people want to know whether it can break through 2.1 billion after breaking through 2 billion.

It's a pity that Stuart has been in a semi-retired state for the past few years and hasn't taken too many movies, so even though she had some good works when she was young, it's a bit far away from now. Basinger's Although the level of activity has declined in the past few years, it is undoubtedly better than Stewart.

In addition, unlike the Grammys, Oscar likes to go to extremes, either completely to the right or completely to the left. The film academy pays more attention to balance. They think that the special effects of the big ship are the main reason for attracting attention, and the performance of the actors has become the second. So The acting award went to someone else, so Basinger ended up winning Stewart.

Because of Adrian's participation, Gwyneth has not taken as many movies as she remembers in recent years, so her qualifications are relatively shallow, and it is difficult to get the best actress.

But the advantage of this is that the best movie is likely to be in the bag of the boat, after all, where the results are placed. Then the best director can almost lock Cameron. Most of the time, the best movie and the best director are given to the same movie.

Of course, there are no absolutes in the world, just like Eiichiro Oda can draw "Big Thief", and Kim Basinger can win the Best Supporting Actress for "At That Time", it is impossible to draw a 100% conclusion until the end. I heard that the old Paltrow is also running around with his daughter, probably in his opinion, as long as Gwyneth wins the best actress, she will naturally leave him as a bastard, haha...

In fact, it’s not bad that Gwyneth won the Best Actress. You must know that Adrian hopes that after breaking the box office record and nomination record, he can also break the award record. He counted with his fingers from the moment he clicked , there is still a long way to go from the number of 12 statuettes.

After singing and dancing, the award presentation continued, and there was still a long list of "Titanic". Several more important awards such as best editing, best photography, and best visual effects also fell into the pockets. The other production crews couldn’t help but feel sorry for the film, and finally the best musical and comedy soundtrack was won by "Six Heroes of Light Pig". "Take it away.

"Well, I must be dreaming, how could they take away so much, hey, wake up." Krystal held his face and rubbed it several times while talking, and his funny appearance attracted many laughs Voice.

The members of the crew of "Titanic" were especially loud. No matter how depressed the other crews were, their mood was extremely cheerful. What could be more pleasant than taking away a lot of statuettes? So far, they have won eight consecutive cities, not to mention the next one is basically theirs-the best song. ..
