Vol 3 Chapter 317: Unbeatable, for granted

"To perform all aspects of a character to the extreme, this is the meaning of an actor. The following are nominated for the best actor in this Oscar." When Natalie, in a purple dress, said these with a smile on the stage. , The big screens next to each other in turn show the faces of the candidates and make an introduction.
Philip Seymour Huffman in "Capote", David Strezien in "Good Night, Good Luck", Adrian Brody in "The Pianist" Terrence Howard and Vigo Mortensen in The History of Violence. Just as people whispered and made a final guess, Natalie had opened the envelope: "The Oscar winner is, Adrian Brody!"
Immediately, the applause and the soundtrack of "The Pianist" sounded. Brody held her hands in front of her. It seemed unbelievable, but immediately stood up and shook hands with friends around to celebrate, and hugged Adrian.
"Thank you, Mr. Cowell," he said excitedly.
"That's what you deserve." Adrian patted his shoulder and glanced around at the same time. He couldn't help but want to laugh in his heart. It must have disappointed many people.
Brody's getting the best actor means that there should be no one that belongs to "Pianist". Don't forget what Brody's name is. Although these are somewhat idealistic, don't forget that there are few atheists here.
"How do you feel, are you ready?" Adrian asked with a smile after Brody's speech was finished and Natalie followed him.
Natalie was clearly nervous, but she looked at it and replied in a barely calm tone: "I'm waiting."
"Then watch it well," Adrian said leisurely.
However, although he said so, his heart was not calm. After all, what he wanted to do was never before in Oscar history, and the slogan "Girl from the holy city that coexists with wisdom and beauty" would certainly get Many people support it, but at the same time many people will lose their votes, so whether the end result will be what they think. He was not 100% sure.
At this point, the above Stewart ended his description, and Rui Fan, who looked handsome in a suit, had already walked up: "Ladies and gentlemen, good evening, I know that everyone is impatient at this time every year, like I did last year. So I try to make time as fast as possible, Oscar nominated as follows-"
As before, the screen began to play movie clips of the nominees, the first being Judy Dench's "Scandal Notes".
Frankly, Adrian was surprised when he got the nomination list. He remembers that Judy Dench was nominated by "Mrs Henderson's Gift". However, she did get a nomination from Scandal Notes, but that should be next year. Adrian has advanced the movie for Blanchett's consideration, but did not expect Judy Dench to use this movie. Nominated for Best Actress.
It stands to reason that if she really wants to win the prize, she should choose "Mrs Henderson's Gift". After all, this year is the 60th anniversary of the victory of World War II, and the second half of the movie has a lot of plots about the German bombing. But then again. Compared to the previous role of Judy Dench, the heroine of "Scandal Notes" is a bit unusual. This is a villain protagonist, and it is easy to impress in an inspirational nominee, and it may work wonders.
Of course, this role is not perfect, anyway. She's always been-well, Judy Dench's idea doesn't need Adrian's attention, let alone ... so he just kept thinking about the next picture. The remaining four nominations are all his women-Kayla may not even count, but nobody cares, does he? Not to mention that time is coming.
The second one is Kate's shot in "Northern Storm". She is a dirty dress like a miner, with scattered hair and sneers at the timid people around her. The camera rotates 270 degrees with her. With angry language, it seemed very tense. Frankly, her acting skills are far better than that of another time and space.
Next is Kayla in Pride and Prejudice. The excerpt is that Elizabeth accused Darcy on a rainy day. In this play, Kayla's acting is not particularly outstanding, but her continuous and frustrating London accent has made her Looks extremely cute. Adrian couldn't help but look out where she was sitting. Kyla also looked at it. Although he didn't dare to make too many expressions because the camera was facing himself, he made a look that only he could see. She hummed slightly, and her left hand, which was placed under the right hand, shook her fist slightly, and swung it from side to side. She would really pick something to tease.
The fourth is Nicole of "Crossing the United States". The selected episode Su is very ordinary, but it highlights the acting skills. She deliberately practiced this movie for a period of time with low voices and rough voices. She also contacted several transsexuals and observed In their lives, many details have been included in the movie, plus makeup, if you don't take a closer look, you really can't see this is the famous Nicole Kidman. Unfortunately, because she had a big belly, she made an excuse and was not at the scene. The screen was just a photo.
Natalie's last appearance was the scene of the last sober look, a messy room, from shallow to deep, people gradually changed from fierce to confused into panic, and finally squatted down and hugged in fear Sobbing gently, quite layered, the infection erupted instantly.
Then Rui Fan opened the envelope: "The Oscar winner is, Natalie Portman!"
When he announced his name, at least two seconds of silence at the scene followed, and the applause mixed with applause.
"Remember what I said?" Adrian applauded freely, while Natalie pursed her lips, trembling slightly as she grabbed the armrest, as if she couldn't believe it.
But she finally stood up steadily, hugged Adrian, and quickly stepped onto the stage.
"... Thank you, at this moment, all I can think of is this word," Natalie, who had been brewing for a long time after taking the Little Golden Man from Rui Fan, said with a trill. Come here again quickly, I never thought I would lift the trophy of the best actress again so quickly, I never ... I just want to say, thank you Mr. Adrian Cowell, it is you You discovered me, and you also guided me, let me step on the stage and stand here. Thank you very much, I will definitely go better ... "
Her unusual behavior has raised Adrian's eyebrows. If most of the media's relationship between her and him had been described in a speculative tone, then after this award-winning speech, they could be affirmed. Tone. If only that was the case, his last sentence was obviously a reminder to him, don't forget his promise to her.
The last struggle? Adrian smiled and didn't care. After she thanked a lot of people and came down in applause, she opened her arms again and hugged Natalie.
"The touching speech is very pleasant." He whispered to her with a smile, and didn't care that the camera was facing himself.
"I just want to say ... I just want to say ... those are ... my true words." Natalie brushed the hair in her ears and her eyelids dared not to look at him.
Adrian didn't care at all. He kept his eyes on the stage and shouted with his index finger to his mouth: "Well, what's the matter? I think the most critical moment is coming now."
Compared to just now, his mood is much easier now. Natalie's best actress may have a chance to come back, but this one will definitely not.
"The five directors have chosen reality without exception. Now let's look at the nomination." The award presenter Tom Hanks was already on the stage, and he pronounced his name a few minutes later: "Adrian Cowell! "
Applause, warm applause, deafening applause, when Adrian stood up with a smile, everyone in the audience also stood up. Even if quite a few of them are not convinced, there is nothing they can do. There is no possibility of change after the list is announced. The fact that Adrian's record-breaking third-time best director is already loaded into Oscar history, coupled with Natalie's previous best actress. Brody took the best actor, and the Academy of Film has determined his status in Hollywood with practical action. So no matter what, at this moment you must watch him ascend to the throne with humility.
"Congratulations, Ed, it's unparalleled." Hanks said sincerely after passing the little golden man to Adrian.
"Thank you, Tommy." Adrian nodded, stood in front of the microphone with the trophy, then glanced at the audience, smiled, raised his hand and raised his head, and thanked again: "Thank you!"
No stubbornness, no pride, no pride, no arrogance, only—as a matter of course!
That's right, counting from the production of "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy, he prepared for this day for almost 7 years, during which I have experienced countless things, looking back, even himself was a bit surprised. After spending so much effort, using so much energy, and trying to find a way to take advantage of it, what can not be taken for granted?
Maybe some people feel unfair, winning the best director for three consecutive years, even if they bought the film academy, or did a behind-the-scenes transaction, it is unlikely to achieve this point. Adrian must have super powers and hypnotized all film academies. Members who can vote. Of course, they will never know what borrowing is. The so-called historical tide is violent, and if it goes along with it, it will change and it will die. It is about the importance of potential. Only a fool will believe that the movie is good enough.
Able to act, even in the high mountains, can shake, and Adrian just happened to grasp this situation by prophets. First, through the trilogy of "The Lord of the Rings", the film academy was continuously run, and nominated and praised every year, plus the huge popularity of the "The Lord of the Rings" itself, and the college itself seeking new changes, and his last award was also several Years ago, I got my first best director.
Then, borrowing the increasingly vigorous homosexual movement in the early 21st century, especially when Massachusetts became the first state to allow marriage in 2004, has further stimulated the development of various homosexual organizations. In this background of this huge social movement The "Broken Back Mountain" was launched next time, and at the same time, he performed a series of methods, and in exchange for giving up the best film, won the second best director.
It goes without saying that the Jewish Holocaust, the 60th anniversary of the victory of World War II, mercilessly opened fire on European movies, stood clearly on the side of Hollywood, plus the transactions of various internal forces, and won the third seat without difficulty. .
As long as this order is reversed, it is impossible to be as successful as this, especially before and after "Brokeback Mountain" and "Pianist", so Adrian is most worried about the gain and loss of the second best director. He is also the best director for Brokeback Mountain. When it comes to The Pianist, give is also given, not given, not to mention there is a deal.
This is the power of the potential. Of course, other factors are also important. For example, the quality of the basic movie must pass, otherwise the previous ones are just air towers. Or Adrian is pursuing the award for the best director instead of the best film, and has repeatedly assured the Academy that this time he will never seek the best director.
Although the best film is the highest honor for filmmakers, this award is not given to the director like Golden Palm, but to a production company. The best film won three times is no better than the best film won three times. It is more famous and more likely to be jealous. As for no longer seeking the best director, they have already won the best director four times. How much do you want to take? John Ford only got it four times.
Some people may say that they have reached this point. Take it again, isn't it good for the former no one to be the five best directors in Oscar history? Of course it is not good. If it is a few decades later, maybe Adrian will think so, but it is absolutely not right now. The so-called wooden show will be destroyed by Lin Feng. If it just pops up a little, then naturally there will be no problems, but if it pops up too much. It is easy to be blown down by the wind.
What about John Ford's record? Just by winning the best director three times in a row, Adrian is already unique and doesn't look at how much time he has spent for this moment. And with his knowledge of the film academy, after that, the internal agreement will definitely be made privately, and the next best director will not appear again.
Therefore, why can't he take this third little golden man for granted.
"This is an incomparable glory. Thanks to everyone, I will always remember it." Adrian finished his speech, raised the trophy again and raised it, and then slightly owed, warm applause again.
After that, it goes without saying that, in exchange, the best film was won by "Capote", and the 78th Oscar came to an end.
As for the subsequent Vanity Fair party, there is nothing to say. Adrian has not missed it every time, and this time he naturally participated. However, the problem is that, as the best-selling new director for three consecutive times, countless people at the party that night came to say hello to him, whether familiar or unfamiliar, so that his woman could not find him alone. The opportunity to chat, some reserved items can therefore only be abandoned.
The only gain was that Philip Seymour Huffman promised that if the role was right, he would be willing to play a major role in the film recommended by Adrian, whether or not he directed it.
It has been 06 years now. The stage version of "Children's Doubtful Clouds", which was abandoned, did not accidentally perform on Broadway in New York, and won the Pulitzer Prize and the Tony Award. Some things are still developing according to established rules. In this regard, Adrian naturally paid attention to the right to adapt for the first time. Natalie ca n’t use it, but it does n’t mean that others ca n’t use it. Although he can relax and rest completely now, he still has to consider for women. Isn't it?
And Philip Seymour Huffman played the priest in the original version, and Adrian was too lazy to find someone else, and compensate him by the way. After all, Huffman should have won the best actor in this Oscar, but unfortunately because of Adrian's intervention, the role has already won the best actor before, and Brody's competitiveness is because he is Jewish , And a series of factors this year, became particularly strong, and ultimately led to his defeat.
In this way, not only sell personal feelings, but also maintain the standard of movies, why not?
Although she couldn't get in touch with Kate at the party, the show was still indispensable. Although Natalie was also surrounded by a large group of people because she won the best actress, she couldn't talk to Adrian, but she secretly ended up Get in the RV he's going to get at the back door.
As the first woman to accompany Adrian on the Oscar Nights for two consecutive years, she also counted as a voter, of course, Natalie would not be proud of it.
However, despite this ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Nadalie took the initiative to get in touch with him in the car for the first time, and went all the way to Malibu's villa. But she thought that this would satisfy him. It was a big mistake. When the RV stopped in the garage, Adrian didn't mean to stop. He kept warm with her in the car and waited for the driver to leave completely. Later, she picked up Natalie and got out of the car. She just went out of the garage and then entered the house. She also made a special loop around the vestibule.
"No ... don't do this ..." Natalie, who was struggling, said with a strained body as she passed the courtyard.
"Why? I did so much for you, and you couldn't even meet that requirement?" This was an Adrian answer with a joke, and the other's body tightened.
As always, although Oscar is over, there are still aftermaths. For example, some media have carried out various sour comments on Adrian's three best directors, and made various suggestions on Natalie's best actress. Film Academy That kind of cake-sharing behavior, no one hit with more than three awards, is the best proof. In short, all kinds of voices.
Mel Gibson's big mouth even declared openly that this was a victory for the Jews. Of course, he had some brains to attack Adrian, but only complained that he should not please the Jews.
