Chapter 186 Best Director

A very touching speech, dear.After Gwyneth returned to her seat, Adrian whispered, holding her hand, Your father will be proud of you in heaven.

Thank you, Ed, I love you.The girl who calmed down but still had tears in her eyes looked at him with gratitude.

Yes, I love you too.Adrian smiled slightly, leaned over and kissed her on the cheek.

Gwyneth then opened her eyes wide in disbelief. This was in public and it was also the scene of the Oscars!

Blanchet on the other side pursed his lips with a bit of appetite, stretched out his feet and kicked him on the calves.

Adrian didn't care. This was just a reward for Gwyneth. Her speech just now was in the ears of others that she was commemorating her father. In Adrian's ears, she was indeed saying goodbye to her father.

Besides, he is the boss of ABC, and the camera will not be turned to him at this time. In addition, the best actor is being awarded, and such kisses are within the normal range.

Okay, the most important moment is coming, so let’s focus on the stage.Adrian said so, and patted Gwyneth and Blanchett's thighs.

Next is naturally the Best Director. As the finale with Best Film, like Best Actor and Actress, many people are both sad and happy every year.

However, Adrian will pay great attention not because he has nominated. Although he has received the nomination, he has not worked on public relations, and he also expected that he would not get it.

The film school’s conservatism cannot be too high or too low, and it is neither in his plan nor in his interests to win the best director right now.

However, if you don’t take it yourself, someone can take it, and the public relations resources are also spent on it.

Not only that, he also mobilized a lot of connections and relationships. Despite this, it is still unknown whether he can get it. This is also the gambling that Adrian was most unsure at the Oscars. After all, this is also a creation of history.

My God Ah, I really didn't expect history to be born from me!

Robert Zemegis, the guest of awards, grew up and exclaimed. He was stunned for almost a few seconds before he announced loudly: This is an unprecedented moment, "Lost Tokyo", Sofia Coppola!

Unlike in imagination, the whole audience was silent. No matter who it was, including Sofia himself, stared blankly at the stage, as if he didn't know who Sofia Coppola was.

But the next second all kinds of amazement burst out instantly, and the audience seemed to have dripping water into the oil pan, bursting with crackling sounds. This is the first best female director in the Oscars ever!

And he is still so young!

Sofia opened her eyes wide and covered her mouth with her eyes unbelievable, then looked around in a daze, as if she wanted to find someone to tell herself that she was dreaming.

The other late candidates, except Adrian, all showed undisguised shock and disappointment. It was too much for the Film Academy to give the Best Director to a woman than to give them.

Martin Scorsis was hit hardest, and he sat there froze, his smile solidified on his face. Just when Zemegis said that he didn't expect history to be born from me, he was ready to get up, but he didn't expect that this would end up being the result.

After all, before this, he was full of confidence, and no class gave him enough advantages like this class.

Sophia is a woman and young, so first of all it can be ruled out; then Adrian, who won the best director by non-realistic films, has never been there before. Although miracle directors are good at creating miracles, don't forget that "Lord of the Rings" has another movie next year; as for Robert Marshall and Stephen Deedley, their qualifications are too shallow, and the works can be counted with one finger, while "Chicago" and "Everything" have not reached the height of "American Beauty", so it is not easy to reproduce Sam Mendez's miracle.

In contrast, Scorses himself is known as the four major Hollywood directors in the 1980s, together with Francis Coppola, George Lucas and Steven Spielberg. He has countless outstanding works and should have won a Little Golden Man.

Faced with this situation, he was naturally full of confidence, but he never expected that the most unlikely person would become possible, and it was the daughter of the director who was as famous as him at the time, how could he accept it!

Adrian, who was sitting in the seat, let out a light tone and it turned out to be true. It seemed that old Coppola had spent more time on his daughter than he expected.

Adrian alone cannot push Sophia down as the best director. After all, she is a woman, and it is not easy for the relatively conservative film academy to break through the shackles, so Adrian set his mind on Old Coppola from the beginning.

Of course, he did not come forward directly, but asked the people below to lobby for Old Coppola.

However, the old man started making movies in the 1960s, so how could he not tell who was instructing him behind his back? Although he didn't have much affection for Adrian, probably the older generation of Hollywood, actors or directors with daughters in the entertainment industry, he had no good feelings for Adrian.

But if we can get the public relations support from AC Media, Sofia is not without the ability to fight. Before that, Coppola was very hesitant to face her daughter's request. It is not easy for a female director to come forward, and it is even more difficult to win the best director.

Jane Campion, who directed "Piano Lesson" in 1993, is currently recognized as the closest female director to this honor. Unfortunately, she unfortunately encountered Spielberg, who came with "Schindler's List".

But if there is support from a powerful character and the connections he has accumulated, it is not impossible to create miracles.

He didn't like Adrian who seduced his daughter, but he had to admit that Sophia was able to achieve what she is today, stand up from the shadow of failure, and appear dazzlingly in people in another way, and Adrian played a big role.

So, when there were too many lobbying people, he finally made up his mind.

...I really didn't expect to go to the place again tonight, and it was a historic moment. Oh, God, my speech has been finished before.

The excited Sophia said incoherently, and she had a little crying voice on several occasions. This surprise was so great that she could hardly bear it.

I...I...I...I...I...I haven't been able to say the complete words several times, but fortunately, the following applauded her very considerately and expressed support.

...I think I will... not thank you one by one anymore.

Sofia finally adjusted. In addition to awarding this award to my academy, except for the people who cooperate, I want to thank the most... two people most, my father, without him, there would be no one we are now... Then there is Adrian, thank you for your guidance and suggestions... This is my happiest night, I will always remember it.

Fortunately, she didn't say anything. I want to thank the two men in my life who are most important to me. Or I will always remember everything you did for me and so on. This made Adrian somewhat relieved. Although it still caused a wave of discussion, at least it didn't have to be so troublesome.

He can also be so grateful to Sophia. You should know that she can get the best director despite many factors, such as Adrian and Coppola, a senior, worked together to use various resources and connections to her public relations. Although AC Media's public relations goals are mainly focused on Gwyneth, it is much easier than Nicole or Monica before, so it is no problem to give her some.

Then there was a little bit of luck Adrian once learned from his own channels that the award for Best Director has caused a lot of controversy within the academy, and the academy is also working hard to rejuvenate and want to keep up with the trend. Therefore, with their consistent rudeness, I believe the final votes must be very close.

But the most important thing is that Adrian has broken the Oscars’ record of the youngest best director nomination and the youngest best director winner before this!

Without Adrian, John Singleton, who was nominated for Best Director at the age of 24, would be the youngest nominee, while Norman Taulogue, who won the Oscar at the age of 32, would be the youngest winner.

Sofia is the same age as Norman Taurog at the time, and is even a few days younger. Without Adrian, the Film Academy would not have allowed a woman to break this record no matter how much it changes.

That's right, this is discrimination, an invisible but real existence, and even if you want to complain, there is no way.

So, it would be impossible if Adrian hadn't mentioned the record of Best Director winner to a point where it was basically impossible for anyone to surpass it while being the record holder of Best Director nomination, no matter how much effort it took to public relations for Sophia.

This year's Oscar ends here. Just the first Best Female Director is enough to be surprised, not to mention that there are many topics. In comparison, things like "Chicago" have to be in the back row when winning the Best Movie.

However, although the award ceremony has ended, the party has just begun. Adrian has basically never missed the award ceremony, and naturally he will not miss the Vanity Fair party.

Moreover, the party is not an award ceremony, and people who have not attended the award ceremony can also attend. Of course, those who have attended the award ceremony may not necessarily attend the party. For example, Scorsis did not. This night was too sad for him.

Lao Touzi did not participate. Although Adrian invited him, he did not get a single award with full hope. In addition, he was not used to the party culture in the United States, so he declined.

I was a little tired and wanted to go back and rest.After the award ceremony, Adrian, who invited him, said so.

But this does not mean that he gave up, and he soon cheered up: I was conceiving a new martial arts production recently. The first draft has been completed and some of the creativity has been concreted. If Mr. Cowell is interested, he might as well come to China for a look. We all welcome your advice.

New martial arts production?

Adrian raised his eyebrows slightly.

If nothing unexpected happens, it should be the little girl who will never die.

However, I vaguely remember that although this movie has more criticisms than praises in China, it seems to have achieved a box office that is not as good as "Hero" in North America. After all, Lao Touzi is quite outstanding in rendering of the picture, color and use of the lens.

Well, I also happen to have plans to go to East Asia... Adrian nodded. He does have this plan. Facebook is currently operating well and is about to exceed 100 million users.

Although the same type of website appeared soon and it was not difficult to make a website like Facebook, Adrian did not take it seriously. He went to see it and did it well, but it looked like Myspace, which was as famous as Facebook in his previous life, people can freely apply for an account and apply as much as they want.

This is not threatening. You should know that the biggest feature of Facebook is that it can ensure that the person on the other side of the network communicates with users is a living person, not someone's... vest.

In short, there will be no such kind. Poster, you are too naive. Do you think there are really so many people replying to your posts on this forum?Actually, I replied by myself, otherwise I would send the same words to you if I changed my ID.

And want to compete with Facebook for real users?

It is not that easy to take the lead and cultivate loyal users, as well as the support of large media groups.

So Adrian thought that he could start promoting it in China with a different vest. Of course, he would still cooperate with Huayi, and if they wanted, he would call Renren.com directly.

In addition, he has something else, such as Scorses is so pity tonight, so give him some compensation. By the way, keep the rhythm in his own hands and cannot affect his plan.

But he immediately thought of one thing: By the way, I heard that China seems not very safe recently.

Lao Taozi was stunned for a moment, and it took about a few minutes to react, and then he flatly rejected: There are some special cases, but they are all normal.

Adrian originally wanted to say something, according to his friend's news, but he would have to forget it. If you say it, others may not appreciate it, so let it go, but the itinerary may have been postponed until the second half of the year.

The party is as lively as ever, and celebrities of all sizes are decorated with dazzling colors every time. Of course, the most popular one is the freshly released Best Director. This is the first female director at the Oscar, and she is still so young. Everyone who witnesses this moment in person will be honored in the future.

I really don't know what to say to you, Ed, you are such a... Sophia sighed when she faced Adrian alone after dealing with many people.

What is it?Adrian raised his eyebrows.

You know what I'm going to say, bastard, genius, playboy... Sophia made gestures, a complicated look flashing in her eyes, and then shook her head: I really want to beat Nicholas to punch him, think about his previous eyes and his hippie smiley face, I swear, if he hadn't slipped fast, as long as he said one more thing, I would definitely give him a good look.

OK, Sophie, OK.Adrian grabbed her hand and patted it gently on the back of her hand, I know what you are thinking, don't worry, do whatever you want.

Sofia stopped. She deliberately kept a long, soft hair and a chic dress with thin shoulders dark green and wavy patterns, which gave her an alternative and tough style, which was very interesting.

I'm scared.She whispered.

how?Adrian smiled, do I look like a man-eating monster?

If so.

Sophia sighed, I'm afraid of you, Ed, if you don't plan to let anyone go, that person won't try to struggle. You always have a way to deal with women and make them... willingly...

She smiled bitterly and looked at him calmly.

If I tell you, stay with me.Adrian reached out and stroked her face. What kind of answer would you give me?

I don't know, Ed, I think many women don't know either.She answered honestly.

So look... Adrian laughed, do whatever you want.

Sophia looked at him for a long time and suddenly smiled, then stood up and sat on his thigh, stretched out her hand to wrap her neck, and kissed him in the mouth.

The kiss was not warm, but the breath was long. It took a long time to separate in the warm feelings.

I know, I'm not the type you particularly like, and I know, what do you like about me, but I'm still very happy to know you.

Sophia's fingers stroked his lips, Thank you for your gift, Ed, I will never forget you in my life, goodbye.

As she said that, she got up and left, but after taking two steps, she turned back, shook her hair, and said in a very natural tone: By the way, if I need to find you to solve my physiological problems in the future, don’t refuse me.

Well... I'm happy to serve you.Adrian laughed and raised his hands.OK, that's good.

Although it was in the corner, the intimacy between Adrian and Sophia was not unseen, but no one would care. Just as he then flirted with the Miracle Girls separately, this was already normal in people's eyes.

Maybe they will be very envious, but basically there is no jealousy. No matter who it is, it is fully qualified to win the actress and win the Oscar for the Best Actress for five consecutive years.

However, although Adrian was proud, he also had troubles. After all, there were more than just Miracle Girls here, Scarlett, Anne, Kirsten, etc., who took turns to chat with him. Although Kate and Sarah were not so proactive, he had to go and find them out of fairness.

Before this, he had always avoided all women appearing in the same public place, but now it seems that it is necessary to make some adjustments.

For example tonight, because of the previous default rules, the passion at each award ceremony is different. In addition, the combination of each person is different, so it is a pity that Zeta Jones, who won the Best Supporting Actress, and Gwyneth, who won the Best Actress, cannot moan under him together.

Not only that, when he flirted with Gwyneth and talked about what happened after the party, Nicole's voice penetrated: You should be my partner tonight.
