King of Hollywood

v1 Chapter 89: Think in a different direction

"What should I say about you, Laffer?" Adrian, sitting behind his large desk, looked at Lafferne helplessly and sighed. "Should you praise you for your work? Or do you blame you for making your own claim?"

拉 Since Lafferne became the company's CEO, Adrian called him into the office for the first time. Before that, he always went to Lafferne to take the initiative to maintain the authority of his president.

It's no wonder that Adrian would be a bit rude, he is really very depressed now. Just before, when shooting the chase of Willis and the gangster Masha's wen Reems in the street, I was watched by countless reporters for a long time. If the weather is not good, and no flash is needed, no Know how many shots those guys will break. And every time they take a break after shooting, they will stick up like a fly and ask about it, which is annoying.

"You are more like a star than us, man." Willis teased him so much.

At the beginning of the chase scene on the street, fans of Willis were waiting nearby, waiting to sign, but after the Oscar nomination list was announced, the neighborhood became a reporter and those who wanted to see Adriatic. What kind of amazing creature Ann is.

Candid said frankly, Adrian had never thought he would be nominated for best director. In his memory, there are no best directors in the seven nominations of "Shawshank's Redemption". The most important ones are the best films, the best actor, the best adapted screenplay, and the others are technical.

But now not only has he been nominated for the best director, but he has also been nominated for a total of 8 projects. The best sound effect has become the best supporting actor-Adrian has intentionally made the best actor for Tim Robbins. Reported the best supporting actor for Morgan Freeman, but did not expect it to work wonders. Of course, most of this is Lafferne's credit. Without his public relations efforts, how could the old men in the film academy nominate so easily.

If you change to someone else, you will definitely jump for joy, but it is nominated for the best director of Oscar. Besides, it has broken the record of the youngest best director nomination. How could this not be worth celebrating. But Adrian was only depressed. He spent so much energy and thought to make a memorable appearance for everyone in the next few days, but he did not expect to be ruined by the nomination of a director who was supposed to be happy. This is undoubtedly a very bad thing.

Depressed and harassed by reporters, Adrian came back to the company to confess to Master Laffernxing during the weekend break. He certainly did not say that he wanted the nomination.

"Sorry, boss," Lafferne said after a few seconds of silence. "I think I might have a problem communicating with the other person, so they misunderstand me."

Adrian raised an eyebrow. This is obviously an excuse. Laffern's ability is beyond doubt. Otherwise, he will not get 8 nominations for Shawshank's Redemption, so he will definitely not make this mistake. And La Verne has no reason not to do what he ordered, so there is only one explanation for being nominated for the best director, and the judges will really be wrong!

结论 Although this conclusion made him laugh and cry, it is indeed possible to think carefully. Although it was only a statement to declare "Shawshank's Redemption" as the best director, Laffern could not understand this after telling the other party, do not nominate for the best director, right? If the judges get it wrong during the contact and also feel that the film is eligible, then it is normal to give this nomination.

If this is the case, La Verne can be said to have no responsibility, I believe La Verne himself understands this, but he still took the matter to himself. As for why this is done, there are two reasons.

In Hollywood, opportunity is often more important than ability. If Adrian does not show up, Lafferne may stay in the general manager position of this small company until he retires. His ambitions will never be realized. He The name is also unknown.

另一个 For another reason, Lafferne also believes that the young boss who can make such achievements in just two years, put himself in the position of CEO and has unreserved trust also understands this.

"Forget it, the problem is not with you, the important thing is how to remedy it now." Adrian waved his hand, and it was revealed, "I think you should understand what I did for this, Laffer."

Although he was still depressed and annoyed when he returned to the company, he has adjusted his mentality, and even enjoyed this feeling to some extent. La Verne made him very satisfied. Although "Shawshank's Redemption" has quality assurance, it may be related to his public relations with 8 nominations. Such ability is considered first-class in Hollywood, and I believe he can still Do better. Such a talent, if not for himself, may be buried.

In fact, La Verne is pretty good. Relatively speaking, the competition of actors is more fierce. Thousands of young men and women flock to Hollywood every year with dreams. Those with backgrounds are better ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ No background Can only ram around like a headless fly. When they gradually understand the cruelty of reality, many people will hesitate to win opportunities.

Adrian still remembers a story about Jack Lemmen that he saw in the previous life. He first won the Oscar for best supporting actor for the movie "Mr. Roberts". He excitedly told his acting teacher. But the teacher pointed at the person who passed by them, and said to him: Of the people who have just walked through, maybe 6 of them will play this role no less than you; the most important difference between you and them is that you get In this role, they don't!

So, Drew would tease him actively; therefore, Monica did not reject him; therefore, La Verne defaulted on the accusation. This feeling of manipulating the fate of others is really fascinating.

"Frankly, I don't think there is anything else that can be remedied, Ed." Lafferne changed his name.

"You can't just let it flow." Adrian frowned and raised his hands. He knew that La Verne was telling the truth. If it was just the youngest Oscar nominee for director, then there is a way to divert public attention. The thought of the Washington Post's chief entertainment reporter named Haggis Pinet turned his boss out.

I'm so mean! Adrian said something in his heart, but then shook his head slightly. Even without Pinet, there will be others. The information is not confidential and can be easily found. Moreover, his current career has just begun and is far from reaching the point where he can influence the media.

或许 "Maybe," Lafferne looked at his boss after a few minutes of silence. "We can think differently."

"Changing directions?" Adrian raised an eyebrow.
