The next few days were still the same as before. Adrian and Kate went to the scenic spots, tasted the food, toured the local conditions and customs, and occasionally asked about the memory fragment. It was like coming to Berlin for a holiday.
Although a series of movies with different styles, such as the silent lamb, have been shown in various theaters designated by the festival, the attention of "memory fragment" has dropped a lot, but its popularity has been called out, and the film critics have more praise and less damage to Dennis and Joe's acting skills, while they have mixed praise and praise for Kate, either they think it's very good or they think it's very bad With the ability that Lafayette has shown, there is no need to worry about the publicity of the film.
That's why Adrian let go. He didn't expect to win any awards at the Berlin Film Festival. But the reality is often unexpected, two weeks later at the award ceremony, "memory fragments" actually won the special award of the jury!
"Thank the judges for giving me this award..." Although Adrian was on stage to receive the award, he was talking and thanking a large number of people, but he was muttering whether the judges had lost their heads.
Although the Berlin Film Festival's jury special award and Venice's Best Newcomer Award are of the same nature, they also represent the recognition of the festival's judges. Although the judges of the film festival are from all over the world, it is the film makers in Germany and the surrounding areas who can make the film or make decisions at the critical moment. Venice, Cannes, St. Sebastian and other film festivals are no exception, and the Oscar is no exception.
These film festivals or awards have their own themes, and naturally they will not be awarded to movies that do not fit the theme. As I said before, the theme of the Berlin Film Festival is politics, while the theme of "memory fragments" has nothing to do with politics. In addition, the best director has awarded Jonathan Demi - "the silent lamb" has some political flavor. For example, the daughter of the kidnapped senator - there is no reason to send the consolation prize to another American film. So why did the judges hand over the special award to Adrian?
Adrian was very puzzled about this until he had a few words with Lafayette and combined with his own cognition. Now the Berlin Film Festival is far less than the Berlin Film Festival 10 years later. Although it is determined to catch up with Venice and Cannes, there is still a big gap between them for various reasons. Even one of the three major European film festivals is barely named. Now that Germany and Germany have just been reunified, this gap has been further widened, and Adrian has just won the Best Newcomer Award at the Venice Film Festival.
There has never been a director like Adrian who has been able to produce two high-quality films in just a few months. One of them won a lot of honors and the box office was extremely good, and the other was highly praised by film critics, even surpassing the first film. In this case, it's not a big deal to award two special awards to him. Anyway, this award is basically a consolation. Besides, there are two other awards that can't even be inferior to the Venice Film Festival? Besides, "memory fragment" is fully eligible for the prize.
In fact, to put it bluntly, a film festival or something is actually a cake sharing. As long as you are qualified, you can share it. However, it depends on luck if you can get it. After communicating with these, Adrian will no longer care about it. Naturally, Lafayette will make good use of the award to promote the release of the film.
After the award ceremony, the Berlin Film Festival, which also took two weeks, ended. Adrian sent Kate back to London and stayed for another two days before returning to Los Angeles.
Naturally, the next thing is to wait. The Berlin Film Festival opened on February 4 and closed on February 18. The first Gulf War ended on February 28.
Adrian, of course, was not idle, and the North American distribution of memory fragments was assigned to universal and began his life in front of a typewriter. When she was in Berlin in London, Kate asked about the content of Tomb Raider, and Adrian's plan included the script of Philadelphia story.
On the whole, it's very comfortable, not like the whole day in the editing room more than a month ago. The only regret was that Kate wasn't around, especially when she thought of her passion and how she was treated under his guidance. Since the last trip to Los Angeles, Kate has been thoroughly played by experienced Adrian in bed with various means, almost reaching the point of "XX under the bed, XX on the bed".
That's why Kate complained about Adrian that night in Berlin. Just complain to complain, how to still how, or that sentence, people in love always lack of reason.
The time finally passed in February 1990. With the multinational forces in the Persian Gulf declaring that they would stop attacking on the 28th, and the 100 hour ground campaign ended, the Gulf War, which lasted more than a month, came to an end. Next, it's time to count the spoils. Military and financial tycoons are losing and making money.
The telephone on the desk rang without warning, and Adrian, who was thinking, jumped next. Hesitating, he picked up the receiver and asked, "Hello, who is it?"
"Ed, it's me." There came Claude's voice, accompanied by heavy breathing, wheezing, very clear, as if a little out of breath."Hi, crow, you finally called me. It's really depressing. I thought you ran away with money." Although Adrian's heart cluttered, he still said in a sarcastic tone. Except for Adrian's brief "28th" phone call to Claude on February 20, they had no contact at all during the process.
"You know You know How much money did we put in at the beginning? " The heaviness of the breath became clearer, and with the sound of tearing, Claude was probably pulling the tie around his neck.
"In addition to my 65 million, you have invested more than 10 million, almost 80 million." Adrian recalled carefully, "well, don't play the game and tell me the details."
“…… 10 times! " After swallowing his saliva, there came such a sound.
"Ha, it's very good. It turns 10 I beg your pardon? 10 times! " Adrian almost didn't throw the microphone out of his hand. He opened his eyes and tried to control his body, but his teeth were still rattling.
"Yes, yes, ten times! You heard me right! That's 10 times! I've fucked it up 10 times! We made 800 million dollars back! " Claude on the other side of the phone immediately burst into laughter, as if a balloon filled with air was suddenly punctured and the air inside was vented.
Adrian opened his eyes hard, covered his forehead, and breathed heavily. His breath became as heavy as that of Claude. He never expected that it would be like this. At the beginning, he only hoped that he could double or triple and try to earn 200 million or 300 million dollars. Unexpectedly, 80 million dollars turned into 800 million dollars in the end! It's a bloody windfall! Claude this guy
"Claude, you guy..." Adrian also began to pull up his collar, as if to make himself a little more comfortable, "you're so damn amazing!"
"Ha ha, I love that. Say it again, say it again!"
"You're so damn amazing! Very, very great
Two people are so full of swearing, you and I said one word, each side of their own hard pounding the table, issued a?? voice, it seems that if not, they can not vent their excitement. After a long time like this, the two people on both sides of the phone gradually calmed down.
"I can't believe it. How did you do it, crow?" Asked Adrian, paralyzed in a high back chair, his chest still clearly undulating.
"I don't know. I didn't think about that at all. All my attention was focused on buying and selling. No matter how big the capital is, it's just a number for me. When I came back to see it when it was over, I was really surprised Claude recalled that the joy in the tone was very obvious.
"You have to be good, crow. You've said it countless times before, but I have to say, you're excellent." Adrian said sincerely.
"Yes, of course," Claude laughed. "You know, ED, when I told this to the old man, his face was so wonderful that he probably didn't expect me to do that."
"I have to remind you," Adrian said, a little funny. All fathers and sons in the world are similar in some places. "The old man in your mouth is both your father and my godfather."
"I know, I know," Claude sighed with exaggeration. "I just proved myself. Is there anything wrong with it?"
Fortunately, he then added: "of course, without your information, I couldn't have done this - you're OK recently? No one from the SFC wants you to have coffee? "
"Why, do you want them to come to me?" Adrian said with a smile.
"Hey, hey, hey, I just care about you." Cried Claude.
"Well, I see. Are you free this evening? I think we should talk about it in detail Adrian put off his joking tone and said seriously.
"No problem, rosata. It's your treat." Said Claude immediately.
"Yes, it's my treat." Adrian laughed.
Put down the receiver, Adrian stood up, went to the French window, Shua opened the curtain, Los Angeles that constant sunshine suddenly sprinkled in, will shine bright study. After a very comfortable stretch, he narrowed his eyes to the bright sky.
I didn't expect that the harvest would be so huge, not only the sufficient funds several times more than expected, but also Claude Good, we can choose from several plans. The rest depends on how to persuade him!
