King of Hollywood

v1 Chapter 180: Second Time Oscar (3)

"This is a wonderful night, isn't it?" The award-winning guest who came up from the backstage had a beard in his early forties, and the famous screenwriter William Nicholson came to the microphone and smiled and made an opening statement. " Of course, every Oscar night is very wonderful, especially when we get the little golden men. I bet that time was definitely more enjoyable than listening to someone who can only touch the trophy when hosting. many."

"Hahaha." There was laughter, and it was also interesting to see Christo being ridiculed.

"This is discrimination, I will reserve the right to protest, William." Christo standing under the stage immediately raised his arms and watched Nicholson on the stage pretend to have been harmed.

Unfortunately, Nicholson did not bother him, and continued to say to the guests: "It is well known that screenwriting is not an easy task, whether it is an adaptation or an original, so even if there is no award or nomination tonight, you don't need to be arrogant. You are the best, and one day you will be the best. "

There was a loud applause, and everyone was applauding him, including Adrian. Although he disagreed with this remark from the bottom of his heart, he did not applaud.

"So, now let me see the nominations for the best screenplay award." William Nicholson began to think of the nomination list. "April Days in Love," Peter Barnes; "Love in the River" Richard Richard; "The Comedy of Tragedy", Michael Deman; "Howard Manor", Adrian Cowell; "Smelling Women", Adrian Cowell. "

Each time a name is spoken, a small piece of the narrated character's name is displayed on the screen of the narrator. Because Adrian has two nominations, the screen is evenly divided into four pieces.

"If someone gets five nominations for five screenplays in the future, then the screen only needs to play his footage instead of splitting," Christo, who was next to the screen, suddenly said with emotion.

If it is not waiting for the list to be announced, I am afraid the lobby will be filled with the laughter of the guests. Even so, there are many low laughter one after another.

"If that's the case, don't need to present the award. Isn't it better to send the trophy directly to home?" Adrian couldn't help laughing and cursing, and his original nervousness because of the upcoming announcement also suddenly relaxed a lot.

He quickly realized this, and was surprised for a few seconds and then relieved. If there is no response, it is definitely not a normal person. After all, it is an Academy Award. Although he has planned for a long time, he is still inevitably excited when facing it.

So, will my first little golden man be born from here? Adrian glanced at himself on the screen, at least on the surface, still calm, but below, like many people, his hands were gently stirred together.

"Let's take a look and see who will get this trophy." Nicholson finally opened the envelope in his hand. He looked at the list and raised his eyebrows. Obviously, the name above did not make him feel accident.

"Howard Manor, Adrian Cowell," William Nicholson announced loudly.

The music suddenly played, and then there was a warm applause. Although Adrian had a momentary snoring, he quickly adjusted, stood up and smiled, and nodded to the guests who applauded him all around. After shaking hands with the crew members who stood up, they went to the stage.

"Congratulations, Adrian." Nicholson said and handed the little goldman in his hand.

"Thank you, William." Adrian shook him and stood in front of the microphone.

The applause gradually lowered, Adrian took a breath, and then thought over his head before he said, "Well, my first feeling is that Mr. Oscar is heavier than he thought."

A chuckle sounded.

"The second feeling is to thank the judges for awarding me this award. Thank you very much. At least this year I will not return empty-handed." Adrian grinned intentionally.

There was another chuckle.

"The third feeling, I think Billy and Mr. Oscar are becoming more and more similar. Maybe the judges can consider using his image to replace Mr. Oscar in the future. It will be almost anyway soon, and by the way, we can praise Billy for the award ceremony Contribution. "Adrian smiled grinningly at Billy Christo standing next to the screen.

This time it turned into a laugh, and Billy, who was not far away, rolled his eyes, his mouth twitching.

It wasn't until a little quieter that Adrian took a deep breath: "Well, first of all, I would like to thank King's College of Cambridge University for selling the adaptation and production rights of the novel to me. Second, I want to thank those who have doubts about my adaptation. It is their point of view that made me write the script more carefully and not dare to make a mistake. Then, I want to thank those who support me. Without their support, I Nor will the novel be perfectly adapted into a script. "

With that said, Adrian had settled down, and his expression became more dignified: "Next ... I want to thank my godfather and my friend Claude, who always stood by me when I was the most chaotic and frivolous. Always help me encourage me to cheer me up, without them I would not have me today. Finally ... I want to thank my parents, my parents in heaven, I hope ... I hope they can see, can Seeing me now, I can be proud of me. I really want to say to them, I love you. This is my first Oscar trophy. It will also be the most valuable and memorable one. Thank you, thank you all. "

He raised his arms high, choked in his voice, and flashed in his eyes. A few seconds later, thunderous applause rang out in the lobby, and everyone raised his hands to applaud him, including William Nicholson and Billy Christo near the big screen.

Adrian owed something on the stage, walked down the stage in the warm applause, and was embraced by everyone again after returning to his seat.

"Congratulations, Ed, I think your parents will be proud of you." After sitting down, Monica said, holding her, this time there was nothing more sincere in her eyes.

Adrian smiled reluctantly, patted her on the back of her hand, and nodded her thanks. Then he muttered in his heart: Maybe the best actor can be awarded to me.

The expression that was revealed at the end of the speech was entirely a clever live play. The image or the external image is very important. Even if everyone around you knows what kind of person you are, you must do a good job on the surface.

There are scandals and scandals. It is not a big deal. Scandals and scandals will only get more attention from the stars. Psychologists have tested and a set of ordinary photos of people. If you tell the testers which people have had a scandal or The scandal, then the tester's relative remember more.

However, scandals and scandals must not be the main means. They are like desserts, they may or may not exist, but they must not be used as dinner. Although the atmosphere of Hollywood is open, it does not mean that mainstream values ​​can be ignored, so those actresses and singers who act recklessly are always marginalized characters.

Therefore, it is very important to maintain a positive image. Those who are savvy and want to enter the mainstream society will not reveal their true appearance without reservation. As Adrian said to Claude, celebrities will only show the public what they want them to see.

Since some of his images will become known as time passes, the rich emotions become the best annotations by supplementing other aspects. However, Adrian is not completely performing, after all, this soul is merged, so that emotional impulse can be regarded as a true reflection, otherwise it would not be so eloquent.

Okay, let ’s change our sights on the awards stage, because Adrian's words seemed heavy before, and Christo was not too ridiculous. After a few funny words, he invited the next awarding guest. Since the previous one is the best adapted screenplay, the next is the best original screenplay. Both awards have always been awarded together.

"The Lust," John Sweeley; "Crying Game", Neil Jordan; "Vulgar Novel", Adrian Cowell; "Couples", Woody Allen; "Unforgivable" ", David Weber." Presenting guest Deborah Cox read the nomination list. She is a nearly 50 middle-aged woman and is also one of Hollywood's best screenwriters.

Adrian took a deep breath, UU reading www.uukanshu.com tightened Monica's hand tighter, and gave her a worried smile when she looked over. Can you break a record? Won the best adaptation and best original screenplay award in the same session? He pursed his lips and looked at the stage without blinking, as if all attention was drawn to the envelope in Deborah's hand.

"The winner of the best original screenplay is" Crying Game ", Neil Jordan" Deborah gave a slight sting and announced it loudly.

The sound of music immediately rang, and there was a warm applause from the crew of "Crying Game", and Neil Jordan was hug with colleagues with excitement and excitement. It's just that compared to the situation where the best adapted screenplay was issued before, there is a lot of noise in the applause, especially the three crews of "Scent of a Woman", "Howard Manor" and "Vulgar Novel" are the most prosperous. Few people think that this award is unfair.

"Okay, guys, this is nothing." Adrian stopped everyone's noise at this moment, and it was impossible to say that he was not disappointed, but it was a good opportunity to increase his aura. However, since the judges have already decided to give the best original script to others, then don't expect them to think that they have done wrong, so instead of being noisy, you are welcomed, as long as the more important awards later are not If something goes wrong, it's all right.
