Chapter 88: Youngest director nomination

"I have never encountered such a situation. When I tried to describe a person, I didn't know where to start. This is a very strange person and a wonderful person. I did not meet him in person. After talking, I always like to look for the characteristics of the directors' works. But this is an exception. I have watched his three works repeatedly, but I haven't found a connection in them. This is really very interesting. accident.
Simply put, the three movies were shot from three different perspectives without any interference before. We know that many directors have their own style, and no matter what kind of film they make, they will find some other works more or less. But in "Memory Fragment" you will not see the slightest possible connection with "Two Great Smoke Guns", and you will not see the shadow of the first two movies in "Shawshank's Redemption".
常常 I often wondered what the youngest Oscar nominee for the best director would be. His three works are like three irrelevant people making directors. When I got to know his experience a little bit, I felt that I couldn't see through. Just 2 years ago, he was just a drunken son who bought drunk all day—yes, yes, literally. Adrian Cowell's father, Jeffrey Cowell, was the president of a company. He died in an air crash four years ago with his wife, and Adrian has been in the bar ever since. However, after two years like this, he seemed to suddenly wake up, picked up the guide tube and became a director, and achieved surprising results.
We all know that he has produced three movies so far, and we also know that he is a Hollywood emerging director and has the title of a ghost, but I believe many people probably ignore the time he spent making movies. According to my investigation, "Two Great Smoke Guns" was launched in June 1990, and then this movie participated in the Venice Film Festival in August; "Memory Fragments" was launched in November 1990, and then participated in The Berlin Film Festival in February 1991; As for "Shawshank's Redemption", it was started in April 1991. Although it was released at the end of October, it was completed at the end of August!
Oh god, no such director has ever had such efficiency? In addition, all three films have earned a high box office, and "Memory Fragments" and "Shawshank's Redemption" have gained a very high reputation. Although the reputation of "Two Great Smoke Guns" is not as good as the next two movies However, the exquisite tailoring still won a lot of applause.
I frankly said that I hadn't seen Shawshank's Redemption before the Oscar nomination list came out. Because of his two previous movies, I thought it was a similar movie. I didn't understand what I almost missed until now. This movie reminds me of the ordeals I encountered when I was a little reporter 8 years ago. If I did n’t hold on to hope, I would n’t be sitting on a typewriter. I typed these words for you. Can you believe it? It only took him 4 months or less to make this movie!
Quality and speed are inversely proportional to this theorem. It doesn't seem to work on Adrian. At least I know that before the release of Shawshank's Redemption, he started the production of the fourth film, and also invited Al Paa In addition, Sino starred in the leading actor; besides, just after finishing the production of this new film, he immediately started the production of the fifth film ... Couldn't he never run out of energy?
It's amazing, two years ago, a sister-in-law who knew nothing, but was nominated for the best director of Oscar two years later, and three of the four films produced in the past two years were awarded Success, how many people can do this? !! Well, if this is not enough, according to the information I have obtained, many of the high-grossing box office movie scripts last year came from his own hands, such as Warner's "Bodyguard" or Universal's "Scream of Scream", etc. .
After I put these materials in front of myself, I spent 5 minutes in full. I really can't imagine what kind of person this is, how did he do all this? He thinks he shouldn't be called a ghost, he should be called a wizard, if I can, I hope he can accept my interview. "
-Haggis Point, The Washington Post
With the announcement of the 64th Oscar nomination list, Hollywood immediately attracted the attention of the public. This Oscar unexpectedly made "The Silent Lamb" this thriller horror movie shortlisted for the best film, best director, best actor, best Eight awards including Best Actress and Best Adapted Screenplay, and the superb performances of Judy Foster and Anthony Hopkins have also been favored by film critics.

Prior to the report by the Washington Post's chief entertainment correspondent Haggis Point, Adrian's impression of him was just a cutting-edge director with a ghost title, and all three films he produced were successful — no Not to mention he did a good job of keeping a low profile in front of the media.
When the Oscar nomination list came out, it was discovered that the 24-year-old was actually the youngest director nominee for Oscar—unfortunately, the youngest best director nominee was smaller than Adrian. After 20 days, John Singleton was squeezed-in addition, he was nominated for the best screenplay and best editing at the same time, which is amazing.

In addition, he was also a screenwriter for Bodyguard and Scream. His production process was extremely short. His first two films were also at the Venice Film Festival and Berlin Film.
