Chapter 265: Coping and choosing

Although Schindler's List is in the best situation at present, the canvassing work cannot be too relaxed. There are many people who have fallen in the last moment because of slackness throughout the ages.

Adrian said in Lavern's office.

He has always been talking about these things in his office, and he has hardly called other relevant employees, and he has actively maintained Lafone's authority in the company.

Faced with the boss' trust, Lafone naturally reciprocates, and the things he handed over to him rarely fail.

OK, I will keep intimate contact with all parties.Lafen nodded and wrote it down on the memo.

As for other aspects... Adrian pondered for a few minutes, and made every effort to publicize Tom Hanks' best actor, and give up Holly Hunter's best actress when necessary!

Lavern was a little surprised. Although he knew that Adrian would not change his decision, he still reminded him for his duties: Compared to Tom, Holly's approval rating is higher, Ed.

I know.

Adrian nodded, but, you know the new movie I'm preparing for, adapted from the political satire novel by Winston, I chose Tommy as the leading actor, and as long as nothing unexpected happens, 80% of the best actor at the Oscar next year will be his.

Having said that, why didn’t Lavern understand? Just two years ago, Adrian spoke to him, and last year’s Oscar proved that he did it, so he was hesitant and suspicious at all: I understand.

Adrian breathed a long sigh. Before that, Tom Hanks had not given him a clear answer, but after this year's Oscar nomination list came out, he immediately called to express his willingness to take on the role.

Adrian knew very well that it wasn't Hanks' business, and that he was also aware of what role his agent played during this time.

This is normal. Although the agent serves the actors, the first thing they think about is their own interests. The more actors get, the more they get. Therefore, the agent is more willing to persuade the actors to take on some movies with higher pay, and sometimes even find ways to privately reject some invitations that don’t look very good.

First-line actors and those long-standing celebrities have considerable autonomy, but second- and third-tier actors and just-known actors are often exploited by their agents. No wonder some people say that these guys are vampires, but the difference is that these vampires will still do their best after sucking blood.

Adrian was treated like this when he invited Pacino to star in "Smelling the Scent of the Scent", but now he has the title of Miracle Director and is worth recalling. He can even imagine how his agent persuaded Hanks: You see, although he let Al Pacino get the Little Golden Man, it does not mean that he can get the Little Golden Man 100%. This kind of thing depends on luck, and we cannot put our luck on one person.

Yes, I know you promised him, but it's enough to star in "Philadelphia Story", and that's what you promised at the party.

When he discussed with Hanks last time, he had some opinions about the script, and the agent kept persuading him. After entering 1994, Adrian was busy with his own affairs and did not contact him much, so he did not give a clear answer.

Of course, it is hard to say anything when the nomination list comes out. As I said just now, front-line actors have great autonomy in this, and some agents have been fired because they concealed invitations to certain roles from their employers.

Although he was not very happy, Adrian didn't plan to settle the score now. Anyway, Hanks had agreed. At least he was not bad. Moreover, sometimes he might get more benefits after a while.

Of course, if possible, try to do public relations for Holly as much as possible. You need to master the balance between this, Laver.Adrian thought for a while and then said this again.

I'll be careful.Lafen nodded to show his understanding.

Although Adrian had noticed this before and began to guide Spielberg to build his own film company ahead of time, Bothworth Pictures was still a little bit popular.

It would be fine if I was nominated for two best movies last year, but this year I was nominated for two best movies, and one of them could almost be considered internally appointed, which is naturally not good news for other film companies.

What's more, in just three years, Bothworth Pictures, which was already on the decline, has re-entered a second-tier film company in Hollywood and has a considerable influence in independent film production. Although the production and distribution of movies are not too many, 70% of them are profitable. No one will ignore such achievements. You must know that even the seven major companies cannot guarantee that more than 70% of the movies produced and distributed can make money, let alone those are profitable.

The senior executives of major films know who created such a situation for Bosworth Films' company. In addition, its parent company AC Media has risen like a comet and is currently negotiating acquisitions with TBS. Even if Bosworth Films has a good relationship with several film companies such as Universal and Fox, once certain interests are involved, several major companies may join forces to suppress it, just like the ones that Adrian remembers about DreamWorks encountered.

However, there is no need to worry too much. There are no eternal friends, only eternal interests. Besides, AC Media has entered the board of directors of Viacom by taking advantage of Viacom's acquisition of Paramount, and has established a good relationship with the Jewish organization through "Schindler's List", and has a large network of relationships. As long as Claude plays well in the Hezong League, even if there is suppression, it can be minimized.

Adrian told Lavern this way to cooperate with Claude. As long as the best movie, best director, and best actor are obtained, everything else can be given out.

Anyway, "Philadelphia Story" did not get a nomination for the best song because the theme song was produced by a record company under AC Media. Although the quality was good, it was not as good as the original version. Although it was unexpectedly nominated for the best soundtrack, this nomination was almost John Williams's possession.

"Piano Lesson" also lacks the nomination for Best Supporting Actress, and some things are still very random. Campion chose a New Zealand girl named Nancy Wall to play the heroine's daughter. Although she performed quite well, she had not reached the nomination level.

Although it’s a pity to give up the heroine, it doesn’t matter. I don’t know who will win. Holly will also find someone to communicate with her.

Besides, this does not affect Adrian's current reputation. You should know that the producers of the three movies have their names behind them. Although everyone knows that "Piano Lesson" is just a name, it is an indisputable fact that Holly Hunter is recommended by him.

In addition, Neeson and Hanks were both nominated for Best Actor, and Fiennes also had the nomination for Best Supporting Actor, which was enough to maintain the reputation of Miracle Director or the reputation in the circle was more accurate.

After finalizing the Oscar strategy, Adrian threw it all to Lavern as before, and then began to prepare a new movie. Last year, he made a movie that was delayed until this year. He did not have the style of a workaholic who should have. He should have some effort after he had been leisurely for so long.

But before that, we have to settle some troubles or interesting things caused by accidents.

Hello Monica, I'm so glad to see you again.

Julia raised her chin and reached out to Monica with a proud look.

She was wearing a black women's suit jacket on the upper body, but underneath were shorts of the same color as half of her thighs, with pairs of high-heeled sandals on her feet, and her two slender and well-proportioned legs were completely displayed outside. The big brown waves hang from both sides on her shoulders, making her look very elegant.

I'm also happy to see you again, Julia.

Monica smiled and shook hands with her without any other expression, but just held Adrian's arm tightly.

She was wearing a purple thin-shouldered low-cut dress, and her already plump breasts were even more eye-catching on the bra, especially the deep ditch, which was very attractive.

Now, the ditch was pressed against Adrian's arm with her movements, and it rubbed slightly a few times. Such provocative actions immediately changed Julia's expression.

Your figure is great, Monica, I think you have put in a lot of effort.

Julia said with a chuckling, looking at her without blinking. Although Monica kept smiling, she did not show any mercy in her mouth: It was Ah, after all, for women, sometimes it was enough to have a good figure.

The two women stared at each other without showing any weakness, as if sparks and lightning were crackling between their eyes.

OK, two ladies.

Adrian coughed lightly at this time. The debate about this should be put on hold for the time being. For any beautiful and sexy lady, figure and temperament are indispensable, such as you.

Although he was obviously mixing with him, Monica followed suit: That's true, let's go there, Ed, I saw Director Mandy and the others.

But at the same time, he pressed his breasts a little tighter, and Adrian's arms were almost trapped in the ditch. He was by her side now, and she was the one who had the upper hand, so Monica didn't care at all when facing Julia's provocation.

Julia was obviously a little unwilling to accept it, but seeing that Monica said this, it was hard to bother with anything else. She just looked bad and raised her hand and made a gesture of invitation, and then ignored Adrian's apologetic look when she passed by her.

Adrian chuckled and didn't take it completely to heart. Today is Valentine's Day and the premiere of "Delicious Love". This is Monica's first movie to play the leading actress. He naturally wants to participate with her, but he didn't expect Julia to come too.

But this is not the first time Monica and Julia have been like this. The two women have met before when they attended a party.

At that time, Adrian took Julia with him, and Monica was alone. Just like today, the two women met and met with each other, and sparks burst into pieces.

Julia won a game that day, and Monica won a game today, so it goes without saying where the key is.

I believe the audience will definitely be shocked. Although I still watched the preview version at that time, I could make such a judgment.

Adrian said this when talking to director Mandy Gale and others about the upcoming film.

Of course, of course, you know, Monica's performance was amazing.Gale said confidently.

Thanks.

Monica's smile seemed very charming. Although she no longer held Adrian's arm like she did before, she still stood close together. She knew the relationship between the two without guessing this way.

Don't forget that there is Lehman.Adrian reminded him to point to the male lead Lyman Atkinson beside Gale.

Oh, yes, yes, Lehman is also very good.Gale then laughed and patted Atkinson on the shoulder.

Adrian took the opportunity to approach Monica's ear and whispered: I think I have to leave, Monica.

You just wanted to find her in just a few minutes?Although Monica's tone was displeased, her expression seemed a little smiley. Don't forget, you promised me, Ed.

I know, but it is always bad not to go and see her, and I came here to comfort you last time.

Adrian reminded him, and his hands that had been placing on Monica's buttocks were squeezing hard. They stood against the wall and stuck together again, so there was no need to worry about being seen.

Although Monica frowned slightly, she then glanced at Adrian in a charming way.

OK, then go and comfort her.She bit the word comfort heavily.

Adrian chuckled, then pinched Monica's round buttocks, and then found a reason to leave.

At this time, Julia was drinking champagne glasses at the bar. Although it was very calm on the surface, if you observe carefully, you will find that she was gritting her teeth in seclusion. Obviously, she is in a very bad mood now.

Hi Julie, I'm so happy to see you, remember me... A man came over.

Sorry, I don’t remember anything, and I’m not interested in chatting with you. If you want to chat with me, please find someone else!

Julia said a word without even looking at it, and regardless of the man's embarrassing look, she picked up her cup and jumped off the high stool, and walked to another place regardless of the direction.

After walking for dozens of steps, Julia stopped and then covered her head and let out a low moan.

This made her wake up slightly, and she looked around and had already reached the corner of the wall. After breathing a lot, she turned around and was about to leave.

But as soon as I turned around, I ran into someone's arms, and then a familiar voice sounded: Ha, I think you must have drunk a lot of champagne.

Ed!Although Julia called out the other party's name in an angry tone, a hint of joy flashed through her heart.

how?Am I wrong?Adrian said in surprise, "Is champagne not alcohol?"

Julia rolled her eyes angrily: Don’t you have to accompany your sexy lover?

Now?No, I want to accompany you.Adrian said with a smile, reaching out to her waist.

There are many people here... Ed!Julia opened her eyes wide and glared at him before she could finish her speech.

Ah, the feel of your hips is also quite good.Adrian said in admiration.

Yes, which one is better than your Monica?

The words that originally wanted to scold him reached the corner of his mouth but involuntarily turned into something else. Julia could only show her momentum by holding her arms.

Well... Adrian dragged his voice longer, and the strength in his hands suddenly increased a lot. Not only did he say it unscrupulously, but he also brought some tricks and rhythms. Julia's body suddenly became much tighter.

Stop it, Ed!She glanced around quickly, then said with gritted teeth, her face turning a little red, and she felt a strange stimulation while feeling shy.

Well, each has its own merits.Adrian stopped and said with a smile.

You bastard.Although he said this on his lips, he had no intention of blame in his heart.

Sorry, Julie, I can't stay for too long, after all, this is Monica's movie premiere.

Adrian suddenly changed into an apology expression, so can he go shopping with my Orange County the day after tomorrow?We can set up parasols on the beach, drink champagne and listen to the undulating waves while talking about topics we are interested in, or hold a party and invite some people to attend, just treat it as compensation that we can't spend with you today, okay?

You are here again, don't think this is OK...Ah!

Julia screamed softly after she was halfway through her speech. Adrian's hand that was pressing against her buttocks began to move again. The difference from the moment was that while increasing the intensity and changing the rhythm, he further moved inside. You should know that Julia was wearing shorts, which in a sense was more convenient than short skirts.

Stop it, Ed!Julia said with a red face and gritted her teeth, but she didn't dare to move because she was afraid of seeing it, so she just tried her best to pinch her buttocks.

As long as you agree, I will stop.Adrian said with a smile.

You are blackmailing!Julia's breathing became much shorter.

No, no, my dear, I'm just asking you.Adrian raised his eyebrows and slid his fingers a little down his crotch.

OK OK OK I promise you!This is OK!Julia finally surrendered.

That's great, so let's just say it.Adrian laughed, came over and kissed her at the corner of her mouth, then turned around and quickly left.

asshole!

Julia took a few steps back and leaned against the corner wall, her chest undulating rapidly. Although she cursed in a low voice, she glared at Adrian's back with a hatred, but her eyes were always dazed.

It was really interesting to watch her struggle.Adrian's lips raised slightly and thought as he walked.But, give yourself up as soon as possible, Julie.

At this moment, the sound of a crisp sound rang in my ears: Mr. Adrian, can I ask for personal guidance?

Then, a beautiful girl appeared in front of him.
