v1 Chapter 169: Odds

"Thank you, that's all for now." With Roddick's words, Charlize stood up, slightly owed the three behind the long table, and turned to walk to the door.

After the closing bell sounded, Adrian immediately stood up, said hello to the two interviewers and went out, leaving the two people who had wanted to discuss with him face to face.

"Hey, Miss Charlize, I didn't expect we would meet again in such a situation." Adrian, who came out, greeted Charlize, who was sitting on the bench and packing.

Charlize looked up at him and suddenly laughed. Adrian looked at himself unknownly.

"Sorry, I just think ... it seems like this dialogue should appear in the movie." Charlize waved with a smile.

"So," Adrian gestured with one hand, "Should I draw a gun to face you?"

"If you can figure it out." Charlize shrugged, and then stood up and stretched out his hand: "I'm glad to see you again, Mr. Adrian, to be honest, I really didn't expect to meet again, You are already a famous director and filmmaker, and I always remember those words on the streets of Hudson Estuary. "

"I'm glad you can remember-you can call me Ed-I didn't even think about it, the cute girl at that time was already so beautiful." Adrian shook hands with her.

"You can call me Charlie, Ed." Charlize giggled, looking extraordinarily charming, completely unlike a 17-year-old girl, but the greenness hidden in the eyebrows could not escape Adrian's eye.

Raising his hand to look at the time, Adrian immediately issued an invitation: "May I have a cup of coffee, Charlie?"

"Now?" Charlize raised her slender eyebrows and stared at Adrian for a few seconds with a smile, "No problem."

As the sun moved westward, the orange-colored sunlight pulled the shadows of the two people sitting by the window through the glass to the elders.

"It was really difficult at the beginning. After all, I had no foundation at all, but ... it was really fun to say. Whenever I felt a little stuck, I always thought of what you said to me that day." Charlize sipped his coffee while talking about his experience, and from time to time he showed a look of nostalgia.

"I never knew my words would be so useful." Adrian said in surprise.

"Oh, of course, because I don't think I can ever lose to an indifferent guy who can only comfort himself with big words." Charlize blinked slyly, and Adrian showed a stupid expression. , And then the girl in front of the girl giggled and laughed.

And two years ago, it was really a sentence. Adrian said this in his heart while shrugging with a bitter smile. Before that, he really did not expect that the sad and resentful little girl that she had met at the Hudson Estuary would be Charlize Theron, not to mention that she only changed a few words and changed her answer. Fate, this feeling is amazing.

Speaking of which, she was indeed a beauty embryo at that time. Although she only touched for a few minutes, the appearance of that impulse left a deep impression on Adrian; and two years later, she has lost her original impulse and became Many people have matured, and people have become more and more beautiful. Even if they do not make models again, they are still quite good.

"Anyway, I can help you." Adrian waved his hand generously.

"But ..." Charlize sighed suddenly. "In fact, I almost gave up almost three times. The last penultimate was my mother who persuaded me to come back. The second to last was my first." Teacher, Ms. Maria gave me confidence; the third to last, but because I saw your news. "

Adrian didn't speak, but just looked at her quietly. The girl leaned over her head and thought about it before continuing. "That should be the first time you were nominated for an Oscar for best director. When I saw your photo, I just felt a little familiar. After looking carefully, I found some photos published in the magazine, and then I determined that it was the guy who comforted me with big words when I was the lowest. "

"Looks like you're quite dissatisfied with me that day," Adrian said half-jokingly.

Charlize smiled: "If you want specific adjectives, it should be shocking and incredible. The man who claimed to be at the top of the world has actually been nominated for an Oscar for the best director, and it also broke the youngest record ... since he You can make such achievements in one year. Why do I shrink back when I encounter difficulties? "

Speaking of this, she sighed and watched Adrian for a while before saying, "I didn't expect that after another year, you have become a first-class director and broke the Oscar nomination record. It seems What you said at the beginning was not a big deal. "

"It seems that you are very concerned about the news of the entertainment industry," Adrian said with a smile. "Have you ever thought about the development of the entertainment industry? You have amazing beauty and figure. If you are an actor, many people will be willing to sign you. Then. "

"Really?" Charlize raised an eyebrow.

"Of course, if I hadn't gone too fast two years ago, maybe I had already signed you then." Adrian said in a serious tone.

"Forget it." Charlize chuckled. "Don't think that I don't know anything about entertainment. Beautiful women can only make vases. I don't want to do any vases. And I finally got a training certificate. Do this do something else? "

It is indeed Charlize Theron. Adrian said this in his heart, and it became clear that he wanted her.

"Speaking of this, Charlie, I have to tell you with regret," he said with a pity, "under federal law, you can't apply for a position like company secretary under the age of 18."

"Really?" Charlize looked at him in surprise.

"That's true, I think you should have been rejected by many companies before," Adrian said with a smile.

"Oh, hell" she looked annoyed, not hiding her frustration and disappointment.

"But ..." Adrian then said again, with a little jokes.

"But what?" The girl raised her head. She looked at Adrian's expression quickly and understood something. She chuckled and adjusted her posture to reveal a good look.

Really clever woman, it is also a good thing to have her as an assistant, anyway, her fate has changed, hasn't she? Adrian shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's very simple. Although there is a rule that you can't hold the position of company secretary under the age of 18, you can be a personal assistant."

"That means ..." Charlize watched him rubbing the handle of the coffee cup in his hand.

"Would you like to be my personal assistant and secretary, Charlie?" Adrian didn't care, and asked directly.

The girl groaned for a moment, raised her eyebrows for the indelible again, and seemed to see something, but then smiled: "Of course I would, otherwise I would not come to Bosworth Films for an interview, would I?"

That's the end of recruiting secretaries and assistants, and Charlize's story has just begun. However, before she took office, Adrian had to rely on the assistants of several companies to help deal with some of the work. After all, Charlize still needed time to get familiar with the situation, and he had to show on the weekend.

The controversy over the nomination of this Oscar has temporarily come to an end, but the heat has not diminished at all, especially the discussion about who will win the prize is heard everywhere in the streets and streets throughout the United States, so every year is no exception The well-known British William Hill Gaming Company also opened the market early.

The smallest odds are Al Pacino's best actor. Whether the public, critics or Hollywood celebrities, they all agree that this award belongs to Pacino. 6 nominations, no qualifications. The role of the handicapped, amazing acting skills, several advantages have been taken up, and even because "Bai Jin Clan" has been nominated for the best supporting actor this year, if the best actor is still not available, the movie The School of Arts and Sciences will definitely face unprecedented accusations.

And the biggest magnification, unfortunately, it ’s not Adrian, but John Travolta who was nominated for the best actor. Just like the original history, Travolta turned over completely with "Vulgar Novel", not only Because the signing of the share contract made a lot of money, and at the same time became the object of the chase by the media, now he also took the best actor, using the spring breeze to describe his current situation is not too much.

It ’s just that he has been in a trough for too long ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ Plus there is a passino to stabilize all the nominees, and the other three nominees have an advantage over him, so he takes the best actor's odds Is the highest.

However, although Adrian's odds are not the highest, they are mixed. After all, he has 6 nominations-well, counting two duplicates is also 4 nominations. This is already a single-time Oscar single nomination. Of records. The lowest odds are the best adapted screenplay, because the best adapted screenplay weighs less than the best original screenplay, and he also has two nominated adapted screenplays, and it is very likely that the judges will give him a consolation prize. The highest odds are for the best director. Adrian has only been in charge of the director for two years. Although there are two nominations, his qualifications are relatively shallow.

Of course, the highest odds are only for single awards, because in addition to Adrian there is a market, which is to win all the nominated awards. The market odds are as high as 1 to 2000. The words are already quite equivalent. If it is not William Hill Company in order to win the gimmick, the intentional price of Travolta was raised to 1 to 2001, then the highest odds is undoubtedly Adrian.

In fact, most of the bookmakers in Europe had the highest odds on the 65th Oscar.

In such a situation, Adrian participated in the X TV talk show hosted by Jimmy Kimmel. ()
