Chapter 154: Lucas and ILM

As usual, the nomination list for the 50th Golden Globe Awards was announced on the 19th of December. Although most people expected that Bosworth Films would take the biggest spotlight, it would still be after the list came out. Startled. Basically, the three films produced by Bothworth Films occupy all the nominations except for comedy, musical and special awards
Best film, Best director, Best screenwriter, Best actor and actress ... Even "Smelling a Woman" and "Howard Manor" were also nominated for the best film at the same time, so that some people think that if he makes a comedy film If you are a foreign language film, you will also get a nomination. This naturally refers to Adrian Cowell, the co-director and producer of the three films, known as the Wizards.
This kind of speech must not be exaggerated, not to mention those previous movies, these three works released this year alone are enough to make people's eyes lost. Gold Palm and the 100 Million Box Office "Vulgar Fiction" in North America; Al Pacino's lively performance and reversing "Smell the Woman" which only made cult-style movie impressions; and the British The silent Howard Manor.
Especially in the end, this niche movie actually got 30 million box office in North America, and it is still advancing to 40 million. The media even exclaimed that even if it is a movie that obviously loses money, as long as it comes from his hand, he can make a lot of money. These three films were produced by three non-directors in the same year, or by the same director in different years. It is not a big deal, but now they are produced by the same director in the same year ... Frankly, this kind of thing hasn't happened in Hollywood yet.
So it is normal to get so many nominations for the Golden Globe Awards, and it is also normal to get such evaluations, but people need time to digest this reality. After all, this is the first time someone has done this, "Los Angeles Times" One of the journalists wrote: "Maybe director Wizards can change their name. What about director Miracle?"
Of course, this kind of name is largely just ridiculous and ridiculous. Although the Golden Globe is a bit heavy, it is still not as good as the Oscar. However, the Golden Globe Award is also one of Oscar's several weathervanes, so many people want to know what will happen when the Oscar nomination list is released more than a month later.
As a result, many journalists are chasing Adrian, wanting to hear his feelings about winning so many Golden Globe nominations, and looking forward to Oscar. But Adrian was always playing Tai Chi with them, either using empty words and routines, or saying nothing at all. Because he has a lot of things to do, such as attending a movie premiere.
"Hey Sandy, how are you doing lately, you look good."
"Wow, beautiful Ms. Pullman, it's amazing that you are getting more and more beautiful."
"I'm so glad to see you, Mr Andrews, oh, let's not mention that golf, it's miserable."
Across the bustling crowd, Adrian greeted someone and came to the center of the theater's front lobby. The reason why there is such a big battle and so many guests is that the upcoming movie is the Jurassic Park with an investment of more than 60 million yuan, which took more than a year to produce.
After seeing a sample of the one-third of the funds and responsible for distribution, Universal decided to hold a large-scale premiere for publicity immediately, so the situation is now.
"It's a pity you weren't present at the time, Ed. When the gecko dragon first appeared, they were still sobered, but they became stunned immediately after the Tyrannosaurus reappeared." A middle-aged man standing near the flower stand near the bar. He said browfully, he had a circle of light-colored beard, his hair was fluffy but not messy, his eyebrows were thick and thick, his eyes were always in a line, if he kept calm, it would be very majestic, but once he laughed, it was a little bit more lovely.
"You really shouldn't tell me this, George, I've started to regret it." Adrian cooperated with an annoyed look, and immediately made the middle-aged man laugh.
This middle-aged person directed "Star Wars" and founded the well-known industrial light and magic. The famous George? Lucas Spielberg completed the filming of "Jurassic Park", and basically completed the later work. After planning, he handed it over to his good friend Lucas, and then found Adrian to prepare the "Schindler List" and soon went to Poland.
Even now, it's Christmas, and he is still in Krakow to shoot, so Lucas, who is responsible for most of the post-production, attended the premiere of the movie instead.
"It doesn't matter, it's about to premiere soon, you will see it soon." Lucas Haha smiled and patted his shoulder.
"You know, George, I have heard many people say that you are a very serious and unsmiling person, but today I saw that those rumors were unreliable," Adrian said.
"Actually, these statements are true in a sense. I'm really strict at work, but it would be too boring to do so." Lucas shrugged, then watched him change. Topic: "Let's talk about you, Ed, how are you feeling recently? You are the most watched director in Hollywood right now. What does the media say about you? Even ..."
"Don't mention it, George," Adrian smiled bitterly. "I'm thinking about what kind of subject to make in the next movie so that I can add back the overdraft now."
"Do you have such worries?" Lucas Haha laughed, followed by an interesting look that came to her mind. "Why, what new ideas do you have? Are you going to start making crazy new movies again?" "
"No no no, although there are new ideas, I have to rest for at least a few months. I don't plan to do things like this year." Adrian shook his head, and then turned the topic elsewhere: "Yes Now, George, you really don't plan to make a sequel to Star Wars? What about the prequel if you don't consider the sequel? You can't let us down all the time. "
The two kept talking about each other like this, and Lucas looked pleased with Adrian's compliment. He talked for about ten minutes before he was ready to leave, but Lucas patted him on the shoulder again and said without a word: "Thank you, Ed, you did a good job."
Adrian was stunned, but looked at Lucas with a sincere appearance and quickly responded, humbly chuckling: "This is nothing, Steven should be praised for what he did. "
"Don't be so humble, Ed, Steven told me everything you did. No one can do better than you. He's been running for this movie, and as an old friend, I'm glad someone Can help him realize his wish. "Lucas said seriously," If there is not a premiere, I will ask you for a drink and thank you very much. "
"There will be a chance," Adrian said, remembering something. "Although I have been busy with my business, I have always been paying attention to Poland. The staff there said that Steven's mental state seemed not so good it is good."
"Yes," Lucas confirmed his statement. "When I talked to him, his voice sounded weak. It's not surprising. Just thinking about going through the lens and going through the original tragedy again will make people It was chilling, and for Steven, it was a torture. "
"I can imagine," Adrian nodded sympathetically. "So, after Christmas and New Year, we might be able to visit him together in Poland."
Lucas rubbed his chin for a few seconds, then nodded: "This is a good proposal, I will consider it."
"So be it," Adrian gestured to leave. "I'll contact you later."
"Okay, just ask me if you need anything." Lucas waved and smiled.
George Lucas. Adrian who walked into the crowd muttered the name, a smile appeared in the corner of his mouth. Is this the first benefit of investing in Schindler's List? Of course, for a long time to come, we must have a good relationship with ILM, and even after entering the 21st century, ILM is the largest special effects base in Hollywood. Although Lucas's directorial works are not many, he has built a huge network of people on this basis, not to mention he is also a Jew.
Gently shaking his head, Adrian turned his attention to looking for Kate's figure. Because they didn't want to be asked by reporters, they entered the front hall of the theater from the side entrance. After Adrian found Lucas and talked with him, Kate left without consciously getting in the mouth.
"There are so many people. I searched hard, because Monica also came to the premiere, and when she talked to Lucas before, he had noticed that Kate and Monica never walked together.
Adrian is not worried about their conflict, and Monica will attend the premiere of "Jurassic Park" precisely because he called in person and hinted in his words not to refuse. So, Adrian wanted to know more about the conflict between informed Monica and unsuspecting Kate.
He wasn't worried at all, anyway Kate would know it sooner or later. Moreover, this can be considered a small experiment.
It ’s a pity that there are too many people in the front hall. Universal seems to be eager to invite all the celebrities in Hollywood. There are several producers who are familiar with them all the way, not to mention those who have one side The director and the actor just greeted him and greeted him with his mouth.
"You do run, where did you go?" Adrian stopped before and after a column, shook his shoulders with a funny look. Then, a warm body ran into her arms. ()
