"White Oleander" was released on March 12, because it was an art film, the schedule was not good, the number of theaters was small, so there was not much box office, but similar to the original version, the word-of-mouth was quite good. Both Amanda's daughter and Kate's last suicide adoptive mother are praised more than criticized by critics. They not only praise Amanda's great potential, but also praise Kate's performance style which is completely different from that of action stars.
As for Julia, this is her first time in this hateful, crazy, but pathetic female role, so the comments are somewhat polarized. Some people think that she has accurately grasped the character characteristics of the character, and the previous independent sweetheart image has begun to be fixed. It is very good for her to try new roles boldly to expand her own acting career. However, some people think that her transformation is a failure and the interpretation is too rigid, which not only fails to achieve the desired effect, but also implicates the word-of-mouth accumulated in the past few years.
The number of people on both sides was equal, and anyone who disagreed with the other side indirectly let Julia return to the public with a brand-new attitude. That's why Adrian asked people to schedule "White Oleander" at this time. Julia hasn't heard from the media for nearly two months. Before this goes on, her accumulated popularity is likely to start to lose on a large scale, if she plans to act in the future.
So Julia, who's trying to do a postpartum recovery campaign, needs a movie that evokes memories of her through arguments.
In fact, it's no big deal. "White Oleander" was originally positioned as a literary work. So it doesn't need much box office. It's OK to recover the cost. The key is word-of-mouth. Although the views on Julia are divided into two parts, people who are not so extreme think that the play of Kate, who plays the role of adoptive mother, visits Julia in prison, who plays the role of biological mother, is very good.
It's hard to describe that feeling with pen and ink, and the emotion is not very intense, but both Kate and Julia are involved in it and convey that feeling to the audience.
"The best shot of the whole movie." This is the comment of the Hollywood report.
Of course, nobody knows except Adrian. Why can two women rub such a spark, and then very in place to pass the feelings out.
"It seems that even if such scenes are arranged in the future, it is better not to go to the scene when shooting." Adrian whispered.
"Well?" Amanda, nestled in his arms, lifted up.
"It's nothing," Adrian said, laughing and turning through the newspaper. "You didn't disappoint me, Amanda. I like the phrase "great potential."
"It's good to have your approval, ed." Amanda smiles and looks happy. It's true.
Although Adrian didn't say it clearly, Kirsten told her that he wanted to stay in Adrian's heart for a long time. If you want to make yourself more dazzling in front of the public, in addition to paying everything for him, strength is also a very important factor, whether in bed or under the bed.
"Should I say congratulations?" Asked Kirsten, who was cutting the apple nearby.
"Of course, Amanda said you helped her a lot." Adrian had a bad laugh.
But the goblin didn't care. Although they were very similar in character, Kirsten had been with Adrian for several years after all, and he was not worried that Amanda would take advantage of himself, so he quickly reached an agreement with her and formed an offensive and defensive alliance. Amanda is also a smart person, knowing that her time is still short, so the two hit it off. We often exchange all kinds of experience, and Adrian had a good test last night.
"Congratulations, Amanda, and so do you, Amand." Kirsten said, putting the cut pulp into his mouth, then leaned in front of Adrian and pushed it in with his tongue after kissing him on the mouth.
Adrian raised his eyebrows. Just as she was about to praise her, Amanda's lips came together again, blocked them, and then she used her tongue to hook out the flesh from his mouth and ate it herself.
"Hey, Kiki gave it to me." Adrian pretended to be dissatisfied.
"But she also congratulated us." Amanda squinted and said, "if you're not satisfied..."
Kirsten over there immediately cut another piece and put it in his mouth. Then he crossed into Amanda's mouth, and Amanda put it into Adrian's mouth.
"You really like this little trick." Aden sighed with "apple" in between.
"It's going to be the Oscars again, and when did ed ask Amanda to try it on the red carpet," Kirsten asked after chatting about the upcoming awards ceremony.
Amanda immediately lowered her head and coughed. There was no doubt that Kirsten was trying to help her win the chance, but would it be too early to say this? Although the two were close to each other, they did not fully open their hearts to each other. Naturally, she did not know Kirsten's dependence. Besides, Kirsten was not only to help her."There's a lot of fun at the awards ceremony." As he said this, Kirsten looked at Adrian with a meaningful light in his eyes. "I've been thinking about it all the time. It's like doing it again."
"Don't be paranoid, Kiki," Adrian grinned and hung his hand over her nose. "You've been in the queue - don't worry, Amanda. There's a chance. Take your time."
Amanda was a little disappointed, but she adjusted immediately. She was very patient. As for the funny things kelsten said, oh, you don't have to think about it.
"By the way," Adrian laughed again, thinking of something. "Gigi, I'm afraid everyone won't be able to walk the red carpet this year."
"Why?" Kirsten was puzzled.
"You'll see the news soon." Adrian opened his hand.
This academy award is different from previous years. This year, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences does not plan to carry out large-scale publicity, and even the red carpet practice has been cancelled because the Bush administration is going to use force against Iraq in the next few days.
Hollywood has always been a gathering place for the left, and there is never a lack of people who hate the government. Before Clinton broke out the zipper door incident, Christo was merciless when hosting the Oscars. If there was a legitimate reason to fight Afghanistan before, it would be a bit of a drag to fight Iraq again. The reason for WMD is too bad. Therefore, most of Hollywood stars, big and small, are standing on the anti war front.
Unfortunately. These are useless things that the government and the interest groups behind have made up their minds to do, and will never change because of their opposition and that of the Americans.
But for Adrian, it's a good thing, at least to avoid being asked about the war on the red carpet - which has happened several times before. Although he is a miracle director on the red carpet, his identity as chairman of the board of directors of AC media can't be erased. If what you say is misled by someone with a heart, it will inevitably produce some bad reactions. Although Adrian is good at saying seemingly gorgeous but actually useless nonsense, this is the ability that every public figure must have, but how to understand that is the matter of the audience.
Although up to now, he has separated these two identities. When facing the public, he is basically a director and a producer, and only in his office is he the chairman of the board. But it's like two sides of a coin. It may not appear at the same time, but it always exists. Of course, no reporter dares to carry out guiding hints in the report, which is tantamount to declaring war on AC media. However, if you want to visit the network for a little while, for example, if someone wants to teach him a lesson, or to make a trial, there is no way to stop the reporters from asking questions? At that time, even if he turns around without saying a word, he can also make people interpret a lot of things.
So it's good for him not to walk on the red carpet.
It's just. Some people are happy about it, while others are disappointed. For example, ABC, which is responsible for broadcasting the award ceremony, complains repeatedly. Although Oscar has always been one of several programs with very high ratings, it has also shown a downward trend recently. Now the publicity scale has been reduced and the red carpet has been cancelled. In addition, the Iraq war is about to break out, we can imagine how the ratings will fall.
In addition to that. There is also a long way old son, as the first Chinese mainland director to attend the Oscar prize presentation ceremony, he dressed up in a real way. He appeared to be very smart in his tunic suit. But the stage that could best show a person's demeanour was cancelled. However, his mentality is also good. When I saw him in Kodak Theater, he was indifferent. Anyway, the glory of the first Oscar winner of the mainland director is entirely his.
It was Steve Martin, a veteran comedian who had hosted the 73 Oscars before. Maybe the Academy thought he was a good host, so he invited him again.
To be frank, Martin did a good job. He was funny and humorous. Although the laughter in the hall was not big, it never stopped. It's just that the atmosphere of this session is a little more dignified. Basically, there are no guests dressed very brightly. Even the female stars who always compete in the awards ceremony have also changed into black or white evening dresses. In this case, it would be strange if the atmosphere on the scene could be as warm as usual.
"It's not bad. At least it's likely to make me sit in a chair for hours After the award of the best art director, a slight hum was heard from the front, back and left.
Because the seats of all the groups related to him were always arranged together, especially "the devil's head" and "Lord of the rings 2", which were directed by him, plus a "Chicago", Gwyneth sat on his right hand side, Blanchett left side on his left side, Liv sitting behind him, and Zeta Jones sitting in front of him. As for Naomi, she's a little bit far away, but very close to Nicole in "infidelity." the hero of both films is George Clooney.
Among the four women, only liv did not come to the award ceremony with passion, but she lived with Blanchett and Gwyneth for a long time, and was caught up by Adrian early. How could she not have heard of such a thing? So when she heard this sentence, she would naturally hum it out with the other three.Adrian shrugged and sighed at their reaction. I don't know which guy arranged the seats like this. It must be intentional?
"Well, let's focus on the list of awards." He immediately changed the topic. "You know, hero is a Chinese film that I insist on investing and introducing. Guess if you can get the best costume."
Because universal bought the North American copyright of hero, it was not limited to the best foreign language film when it applied for it. Therefore, in addition to this nomination, it also won the nomination for best costume. It was an accident indeed. Adrian didn't intervene in all the declarations. It can only be said that their luck is better - at least better than the original one. Although it is almost impossible to win a prize, two are more praiseworthy than only one.
Sure enough, "Chicago" got the best costume and the best art director before. Weinstein is really good at public relations, but Chicago has won 13 nominations, even more than "Lord of the rings 2". More Than This. Even in "Pirates of the Caribbean" performance eye-catching Depp, he has won a best actor nomination! If Chicago was not more likely to win, he might have pushed Pirates of the Caribbean to be nominated for best film.
As the guests read their names on stage, Zeta Jones's shoulder in front of him obviously shrugged. So far, Chicago has won three awards. Although it's all technical, it also makes the team's morale high, and the next thing to be awarded is the best supporting actress.
"I have to say that every one of the nominees is a very good woman, Kathy Bates - oh. You'll take it as a foil; you've got too many honors; so do you, Ms. Meryl Streep, don't laugh; pollette Lawrence, well done; Catherine Zeta Jones. Oh, it's just a short play, but your performance is amazing; Sophie Marceau, one of the most beautiful French women, has a refreshing image in the hours! I really don't know who to vote for. " Steve Martin exclaimed on stage, "that's why I can't run the voting."
All of a sudden, the scene was filled with laughter, and then. Jim bradbent, the previous best supporting actor, who was the usual guest of honor, came out of the back with the envelope.
"I agree with Steve," he said as soon as he appeared, causing a lot of laughter. "But then we have a good host."
"I love you, Jim, and say a few more words," Martin continued
"Although I have been asked to say more and I would like to say more, for the sake of more people, I still do what I should do." Bradbent, who was not defeated at all by Martin, then opened the envelope with laughter: "OK, so the best supporting actress of this year's Oscar is Catherine Zeta Jones!"
Then the Chicago soundtrack went off, and Zeta Jones stayed for a few seconds to get up, even though Adrian had already revealed something to her. At the moment, Adelaide seemed to appreciate the opportunity, no matter how excited she was, she could only take a look at her face.
"Thank you, thank you very much..." After receiving congratulations all the way onto the stage and taking over the little golden man from bradbent, Zeta Jones, who was in control of his emotions, began his speech.
There is nothing to talk about in the whole speech. Basically, I thank the past and thank you for coming. It is a little formulaic. This is also normal. Before the award ceremony in this atmosphere, several winners ended their speeches with a call for peace. What can Zeta Jones do? And her speech was full of emotion. First, she reviewed her nominations in recent years to express her excitement. Then she expressed her gratitude to the film academy, her family, and the entire cast of Chicago - interestingly, Adrian's name was not on the list.
In short, formulaic, but not so abrupt, and different from the previous life, now she is not pregnant, is still graceful and beautiful, and maintenance is quite good, Adrian also specially asked for her to carefully design a set of methods to maintain her fingers, although still can't compare with other women with long fingers, but it is better than the previous life More.
So after her speech, she won a lot of applause.
"Congratulations, Kate. You've got your wish at last." When she came back and sat down with thanks from the people around her, Adrian leaned forward slightly and whispered behind her head.
"You don't mind if I didn't add your name to my list of thanks." Zeta Jones turned half of his head when the camera on the screen moved to another place. Although the white goose neck was a little wrinkled, it was still full of the charm of mature women. Moreover, she was still wearing a strapless evening dress. Just a little further forward, you could see the deep ditch below - although the color could not be too bright, there was no style at all There are limits."No, of course not." Adrian smiles and sits back.
The excited mood gradually calmed down after getting the little golden man, and she immediately returned to her former appearance. Although Adrian was only given a half profile, the complicated look still obviously flashed from her face.
Adrian is not in a hurry. He has patience. Now, she promised her what she wanted most. How could he not guess what she would think.
