"White Oleander" was released on March 12, because it is a literary film, the schedule is not good, the number of theaters is very small, so there is not much box office, but similar to the original, reputation is quite good. Whether it ’s Amanda ’s daughter or Kate ’s last suicide adoptive mother, she ’s more criticized than criticized, not only praising Amanda ’s great potential, but also complimenting Kate for showing a completely different actress. Your own performance style.

As for Julia, this is her first appearance in such a hateful, crazy but poor female character, so the comments are somewhat polarized. Some people think that she has accurately captured the character's personality characteristics. Her previous independent and sweetheart image has begun to be fixed. It is good for her to try her new role to expand her drama. But some people think her transformation is a failure. The interpretation was too blunt, not only failed to achieve the desired effect, but also affected the reputation accumulated in the past few years.

The numbers on both sides are equal, and no one convinces anyone, which indirectly makes Julia return to the public with a new attitude. This is why Adrian has caused the schedule of "White Oleander" to be at this time. Julia has not heard from the media for almost two months, and she has accumulated a lot of popularity before going on like this. It may begin to be lost on a large scale if she plans to act in a movie in the future.

So Julia, who is working **** postpartum recovery, needs a movie that evokes people's memories of her through argument.

In fact, this is not a big deal. The original positioning of "White Oleander" was a literary work. So you don't need a high box office, you can recover the cost. The key lies in word of mouth. Although Julia's opinion is divided into two parts, but not so extreme people think that Kate, who plays the foster mother, went to prison to visit Julia, who played the biological mother.

That feeling is difficult to describe in pen and ink, and the emotions are not very intense, but both Kate and Julia are integrated into it, passing that feeling to the audience.

"The best shot of the whole movie." The Hollywood Reporter commented so.

Of course, no one knows but Adrian. Why can the two women spark such a spark, and then pass the feeling very well.

"It seems that even if such a drama is arranged in the future, it is best not to go to the scene when shooting." Adrian whispered.

"Huh?" Amanda snuggled up in his arms.

"Nothing," Adrian immediately laughed, flipping through the newspaper in his hand, "You didn't let me down, Amanda. I like the phrase 'high potential'."

"It's good to get your approval, Ed." Amanda smiled and seemed very happy, sincerely.

Although Adrian didn't say it explicitly, Kirsten told her that she wanted to stay in Adrian's heart for a long time. In order to make himself more glorious in front of the public, in addition to paying everything for him, strength is also an important factor, whether in bed or under the bed.

"Should I say congratulations?" Kirsten, who cut the apple beside him, asked with a smile.

"Of course, Amanda said you helped her a lot." Adrian smiled very badly.

But the goblin didn't care. Although their two personalities are very similar, Kirsten has been with Adrian for several years after all. He was not worried that Amanda would steal his own limelight, so he quickly reached an agreement with her and formed an offensive and defensive alliance. . Amanda is also a smart person, knowing that she has a short time, so the two hit it off. He often exchanges various experiences, and Adrian had a good test last night.

"Okay, congratulations, Ed, and congratulations, Amanda," Kirsten said, putting the cut flesh into his mouth, then putting it in front of Adrian, using it after kissing his mouth. The tongue pushed the flesh into it.

Adrian raised an eyebrow. Just about to praise her, Amanda's lips came together again, and after plugging it, she used the tongue to hook out the flesh from his mouth and eat it.

"Hey, this is Kiki for me." Adrian pretended to be dissatisfied.

"But she also congratulated us for one more," Amanda said with a twisted eyes and laughed, "if you are not satisfied ..."

Kirsten over there immediately cut a piece and put it in his mouth, and then crossed to Amanda's mouth, and then Amanda put it into Adrian's mouth with his mouth.

"You guys really like to play this little trick." Although Adrian was sighing, "Satisfied" was clearly written between the eyebrows, so the apple was divided.

"Speaking of it, it will be the Oscars award ceremony again soon. When will Ed let Amanda go to the red carpet to try it," chatting and talking about the award ceremony that will be held immediately, and then Kirsten asked like this .

Amanda immediately lowered her head and coughed. There was no doubt that it was Kirsten who was helping her to get a chance, but now it would be a little earlier to say this? Although the two were in a hurry, they did not reach the point where they were completely open. She naturally did not know Kirsten's support, and besides, Kirsten was not just to help her.

"There was a lot of fun at the awards ceremony." Kirsten said, looking at Adrian, with a meaningful light flashing in his eyes. "I have been thinking about it, it feels like coming again."

"Don't think about it, Kiki," Adrian put a hand on her nose with a smile, "It's your turn to wait in line-don't worry, Amanda, there will be opportunities, come slowly . "

Although Amanda was slightly disappointed, she adjusted it immediately. She was very patient. As for Kirsten's fun things, oh, you can guess about it.

"Also," Adrian laughed again at the thought, "Kiki, I'm afraid everyone can't walk the red carpet this year."

"Why?" Kirsten was puzzled.

"Soon you will see the news." Adrian spread his hand.

This Oscar is different from previous years. This year the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences does not plan to carry out large-scale propaganda, and even the practice of the red carpet has been cancelled because the Bush administration is about to use military force against Iraq in these days.

Hollywood has always been a gathering place for the left, and there is no shortage of people who hate the government. After Clinton burst out of the zipper door incident, Christo's merciless ridicule when hosting the Oscar. If it was said that there was a valid reason to fight Afghanistan before, then it would be a bit of a rage to fight Iraq. The reason for weapons of mass destruction is too bad, so most of the big and small stars in Hollywood are clearly standing on the anti-war. .

Unfortunately. These are useless things. The government and the interest groups behind it are determined to do it. They will never change because of their opposition and that of Americans.

But it was a good thing for Adrian, at least to avoid being questioned on the red carpet by reporters about his views on war-this has happened several times before, even though he was a miracle director on the red carpet. However, the identity of the chairman of the media board cannot be erased. If what is said is misled by a caring person, it will inevitably produce some bad reactions. Although Adrian is very good at talking seemingly gorgeous but practically useless nonsense, this is the ability that every public figure must have, but how to understand it is the audience's business.

Although he has cut these two identities up to now, he is basically a director and a producer when facing the public, and he is the chairman of the board only in the office. But this is like two sides of a coin, which may not appear at the same time, but they always exist. Of course, no reporter dares to give a guiding hint in the report, which is tantamount to declaring war on the media. However, if you want to come a bit on the Internet, for example, someone wants to give him a lesson, or try a trial, it is a little bit troublesome, and you can't stop reporters from asking questions? At that time, even if he leaves without saying a word, he can read a lot of things.

So it was good for him not to take the red carpet.

just. Someone is happy about it, then someone is lost for it. For example, the side responsible for broadcasting the awards ceremony complained repeatedly. Although Oscar has always been one of the few programs with very high ratings, it has also recently declined. Now the scale of publicity has been reduced, and the red carpet has been cancelled. In addition, the Iraq war is about to erupt, so you can imagine where the ratings will be .

Beyond that. There is also a veteran from afar. As the first mainland Chinese director to participate in the Oscar awards, he really dressed up, wearing a Zhongshan suit is very spiritual, but the stage that best showed a person's style was cancelled. It is absolutely impossible to say that it is not depressed. However, his mentality is also good. When I saw him in the Kodak Theater, he looked indifferent, anyway, the glory of the first director of the mainland Oscar belongs to him completely.

Hosting this Oscar is Steve Martin, a veteran comedian who has hosted the 73rd Oscar before. Probably the film school thought he hosted well, so he invited him again.

Frankly, Martin did a good job, both funny and humorous. Although the laughter in the hall was not big, it never stopped. However, the atmosphere of this session is slightly more dignified. Basically, the guests who have not dressed very brightly, and even the female stars who have always been fighting at the awards ceremony have also changed into black or white evening dresses. In this case, it would be strange if the atmosphere at the scene was as warm as usual.

"In fact, this is also good, at least it is likely that I will sit in a chair honestly for a few hours." After the best art direction was awarded, a humming sound was heard from front to back.

Because the seats of the various crews related to him are always arranged together, especially "The Devil" and "The Lord of the Rings 2" are directed by him, plus a "Chicago", so Gwyneth sat down On his right-hand side, Blanchett was on his left-hand side, Liv was sitting behind him, and Zeta Jones was in front of him. As for Naomi, she's a little bit far away, but it's close to Nicole in "Infidelity". Both films feature George Clooney.

Of the four women, only Liv had not been passionate with him at the awards ceremony, but she had lived with Blanchett and Gwennis for so long, and was started by Adrian early. How could she not have heard? I have heard this kind of thing, so naturally I hummed with the other three.

Adrian shrugged in disappointment at their reaction, and then sighed in his heart. I don't know which guy arranged the seat like this, it must be intentional?

"Well, let's pay attention to the awards list." He immediately shifted the topic. "You know, the Chinese movie" Hero "was invested and introduced by me. Maybe I can get the best costume."

Because Universal bought the North American copyright of "Hero", it was not limited to the best foreign language film when applying. Therefore, in addition to this nomination, it was unexpectedly nominated for the best costume. This was indeed an accident, and all the declarers did not intervene. It can only be said that they have better luck-at least better than the original. Although it is almost impossible to win a prize, two are better than only one.

Sure enough, "Chicago" got the best costumes, and he also got the best art direction before. Weinstein really knows PR. "Chicago" got thirteen nominations, even more than "The Lord of the Rings 2" many. Not only that. Even Depp, who performed well in "Pirates of the Caribbean", has been nominated for his best actor! If it weren't for Chicago, the chances of winning a prize were even higher, and he might also promote Pirates of the Caribbean nomination for best film.

After the guests on the stage read the names, Zeta Jones' shoulders in front shook obviously. So far, Chicago has won three awards. Although they are all technical, they also make the crew's morale high, and the best supporting actress will be awarded next.

"I have to say that every nominee is a very good woman, Casey Bates-oh. You are willing to be a foil, you already have too many honors; so are you, Meryl? Don't laugh, Ms. Streep; Polite Lawrence, doing a pretty good job; Catherine Zeta Jones. Oh, although there is only such a short film, your performance is amazing; Sophie? Marceau, one of the most beautiful French women, has a refreshing image in Moments! I really do n’t know who to vote for. ”Steve Martin shouted loudly on the stage. Sigh, "That's why I can't preside over voting."

Suddenly, there was a laugh, and then. Jim Braudbent, the best supporting actor of the last supporting actress as a guest of honor, was coming out from behind with an envelope.

"I agree with Steve," he said as soon as he appeared, and immediately caused a lot of laughter. "But then we have a good host."

Applause rang, and Martin was still yelling, "I love you, Jim, say a few more words."

"Although someone asked me to say a few more words, and I would like to say a few more words, but for the sake of more people, I should do what I should do." Broadbent said nothing at all. After losing to Martin, he opened the envelope in laughter. "Well, then the winner of the best supporting actress in this Oscar is Katherine Zeta Jones!"

Immediately, the soundtrack for "Chicago" sounded, and although Adrian had previously revealed her tone, Zeta Jones stayed for a few seconds before he stood up. She held her face with her hands for the first time, her body trembling slightly, she seemed so excited that she couldn't help herself. Only Adrian knew that. She took this opportunity to glance at him. No matter how motivated she was, she was grateful at the moment. look.

"Thank you, thank you very much ..." After receiving the congratulations all the way to the stage, after taking over the Golden Man from Broadbent, Zeta Jones, who was in control of his emotions, began to give a speech.

There is nothing to say in the whole speech, basically it is to thank the past, thank you for coming, some formulas. This is also normal. In the award ceremony in this atmosphere, several previous winners have ended their speeches by calling for peace. What else can Zeta Jones do? Moreover, her speech was full of emotions. She first reviewed the nominations she had received in recent years to express her excitement, and then thanked the Academy of Film, her family, and the entire crew of "Chicago" ——Interestingly, there is no Adrian name on the thanks list.

In short, the formula is not very obtrusive, and unlike the previous life, she is not pregnant now, she is still beautiful and well-maintained, and is well maintained. Adrian also deliberately asked someone to design a set for her. The method of maintaining fingers, although still not comparable to other women with long fingers, is much better than in previous lives.

So after giving a speech, she won a lot of applause.

"Congratulations ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ Kate, I finally have to make up my wish." When she returned and thanked the people around, and sat down, Adrian leaned forward slightly and whispered behind her head. .

"You wouldn't mind if I didn't add your name to the thank you list just now." Zeta Jones deflected half his head when the lens on the screen moved elsewhere, despite the white goose neck Some wrinkles, but still full of the charm of mature women, but also wearing a tube top with a shoulder bandeau, as long as you look forward a little, you can see the deep trenches below-although the color can not be too bright, but what style There are no restrictions at all.

"No, of course not." Adrian smiled slightly and then sat back.

The excitement gradually calmed down after receiving the Golden Man, and she immediately returned to her former appearance. Although she only gave Adrian a half profile, the complex look clearly flashed from her face.

Adrian was not in a hurry. He had patience. Now, she promised her what she wanted most, and what she would think, how could he not guess.

So tell me, dear Catherine Zeta Jones, my little doll, what choice will you make? (To be continued ...)
