"Ha, again." When the swim bladder moved, the old man sitting at the water's edge without moving raised his fishing rod with lightning speed, and a lively bass leaped out of the water along the fishing line.

At the same time, there was a crash sound nearby. A perch about the size of the old man was also pulled out of the water by another fishing rod and was jumping in the air happily.

"Congratulations, ED, for breaking through zero so quickly." Although the old man with gray hair was a little surprised, he immediately burst into laughter.

"I said, I'm very patient." Adrian put his fishing rod away with a smile. With the help of his assistant, he took the live bass and put it into the water tank he took with him.

"Yes, fishing requires patience, but patience is definitely not the only factor in catching fish," the old man said, taking his own fish and baiting him again. "See how much you can catch today."

Adrian didn't catch much fish. From the beginning to the end, Adrian only fished two. Although he could bear it, after all, the frequency of fishing was very small, which naturally could not be compared with those old men who lived leisurely every day and had enough time for leisure. But it doesn't matter. He didn't invite John Campbell to Lake Tahoe today to fish.

"It's delicious. I didn't expect that bass could do this. It's amazing. This is Chinese food? " After releasing some of the fish, he asked the chef to cook what he had left behind. Campbell, who had tasted the taste of the fish at a tidy little round table near the lake, was surprised.

"Yes. The Chinese have never lost out to the Italians and the French in their cooking skills, and their imagination has made a qualitative leap forward. " Adrian, who tasted the same thing, replied, then made a gesture, and asked the Chinese chef specially hired to come over and meet Campbell. It was also a pleasure to do this in the wilderness.

In the west, the status of chefs is not low, especially the chef, who is often the boss of the restaurant, and the guests think the food is good. It's common to ask for a meeting with a chef or even taking a photo.

"You can't underestimate how young you can make such delicious food." After shaking hands with a Chinese chef about 35 years old, Campbell said with emotion, and then took a deep look at Adrian. "This world belongs to young people. It is no longer the stage for old men like us."

"A Chinese politician once told young people that the world belongs to you and ours, but in the final analysis it belongs to you." Adrian smiles. "It's like a generation changing, it's like a relay."

"But it doesn't mean that the old people will quit the stage completely. Although young people are energetic, they also need experienced old people to help them steer at the critical moment. Sometimes the old methods often work wonders."

Campbell laughed. He seemed very happy. Then he put away his smile and looked at Adrian carefully after he cleaned it up a little bit. "Tell me what you want, ed."

"It's simple. It's just a piece of cake for you, John. "There's no need to cover up at this time. Adrian said his request directly." I hope you can help lobby your friends. Maybe they will support a young and talented girl. Get the honor that belongs to her. "

"Oh?" Campbell raised his eyebrows, as if by surprise, "is that what you want, ed?"

"That's what I want," Adrian repeated with a smile. "Yes, I want more than that, but I already have my own plan. And I'm very confident, so I'm not sure about this

"Harvey's got a big problem for me," Campbell said with an indifferent smile. "It's not easy, ed. you know, this honor has been monopolized for too long. What's more, the girl you're talking about is too young. You should know that too young a girl is seldom considered. The combination of the two is even more difficult

"Monopoly means monopoly, and I can't see who owns this honor." Adrian grinned cunningly. "And, the quality of the film and the character ensures the value of honor."

"Age is a problem, but it can't be solved, even It's also an opportunity. I know what the academy is thinking and worrying about. An actor who is too young suddenly gets the highest honor and is easily lost in applause. It is the same truth that this young man suddenly became famous and even became popular. For example, Mary Madeline, as the youngest Oscar best actress, was so amazing at the beginning, but now she is no one. Similar things can be found everywhere. In this regard, the college is also a kind of love, hoping that they can go further and do better. "

Campbell nodded quietly, but Adrian could see that in the last sentence, he narrowed his eyes, and the corners of his mouth moved up and down imperceptibly. Obviously, he was very satisfied with the statement.

"This kind of behavior is undoubtedly worth affirming, but it is not used for all people, no matter when there is a special column," he continued, "what's more, the college has been trying to get younger in the past two years. Not long ago, Emma Roberts became a member. Although the media ridiculed it, it was really changing itself step by step. So why not take the steps A little bigger? Besides, the winning age of the best young person in the last 20 years is around 25. This young girl is not far away from this figure. She plays her role very well. All the songs are sung in person, and she is smart and self-made. She is still a graduate of Harvard University. I can't think of anything inappropriate. ""You know, every 0.01 second increase in sprint records costs a lot." Campbell is not sure.

"But it's not about breaking the record, is it?" Adrian immediately went on, "it's right for colleges to want to be younger, but not only want to be younger, but also let the public see it.". We have always supported this, but we have never found the right opportunity to promote it. This is a win-win situation. "

From "we" to "find the right opportunity", his meaning is very clear.

"You don't have to worry too much, John. We all know that there are more than ten branches under the college. It's impossible to lobby one by one, so I have only this requirement. Of course, I would appreciate it if you could drop in a few words on the items I need. " Adrian spread his hands. Looking at him, waiting for an answer.

Campbell didn't answer, his hands crossed, his fingers moving. He kept silent for several minutes. Then he finally said, "well, I can't say no, but I have one thing to say in advance."

He showed a solemn look: "I'm just saying it for you. I can't guarantee whether it will succeed or not."

"Of course." Adrian laughed. "As long as you can help, John."

Campbell shook his head and complained to Weinstein again: "Harvey, this boy, always gives me a lot of trouble."

"Don't say that, John. Harvey has been doing a good job. Look at the academy because of how many changes he has made. " Adrian patted him on the shoulder and then said, "well, have you ever fished in the Lewis River in the northwest of Yellowstone? I always listen to the godfather. The salmon there is pretty good

"It's a pity not yet. That section of the river is very special. Wild salmon, rainbow trout and some special fish should be protected. In general, it is not open to people."

"It's very simple. I met a man when I was making Brokeback Mountain in Montana. It's not difficult to get a fishing permit there. Maybe you can try it

John Campbell, who was fishing with Adrian in Lake Tahoe, is not the California congressman. Although he is also a supporter of AC media - although he is a Republican - and intends to run for Congress this year, he has only the same name and surname.

Harvey Weinstein is a good lap Hugger, and this John Campbell is one of them, both in public relations and in film making. Although the film academy has revised some rules for him, it is a pity that they are not very useful. Adrian's support is one reason. Campbell is another reason.

This old man was born in the 1930s, Jewish, because he grew up in the era of big studios, so he entered Hollywood very early. He has done a lot of work, actor, screenwriter, director and even agent. He has also held administrative positions in several film companies. He is the kind of man who is not famous but forms the middle level of Hollywood. But different from those people, Campbell did not hesitate to re select the direction after seeing himself clearly and insisted on moving forward. In the 1960s and 1970s, Campbell expanded a lot of contacts, and the popularity was good, so he had a good relationship within the college.

From the 1980s to the present, several presidents have a good personal relationship with him. Most of the 2000 members who are about his age know him and are willing to chat with him. It's a pity to imagine how influential such a person would be. In fact, in the late 1970s and early 1980s, there were many public relations awards behind him. If he could help with the lobbying, he would be very likely to win the prize.

Weinstein had three public relations exchanges with Adrian before, and the last two were successful with the help of Campbell. He was one of his students. Otherwise, how could he be so proficient in public relations that the college had to revise the rules against him.

Of course, although there are not many similar people, they are definitely not rare animals. Campbell is better at lobbying and creating opportunities for public relations at best. In addition, his popularity is really good, which makes it go well. Weinstein has already monopolized the Oscars if he wants to win the best actress for Natalie. If he wants to win the best actress for Natalie, the probability of the two together is only 70% to 80%.

Therefore, Adrian himself ended. The reason why he always left public relations affairs to the people below or Weinstein was to create such a situation. Media tycoons with the aura of miraculous directors personally lobbied. You can imagine how strong the sentiment of the lobbying objects that they feel valued. Maybe there will be some old people who sell their old age, but if Campbell helps to explain, there is no need to worry too much.

What's more, Adrian can trade more things. As mentioned before, Weinstein and Campbell, the old man, have a chance of only 70% or so, but if it's Adrian and Campbell. So wireless is close to 100 percent. In the final analysis, the usefulness of public relations lies not only in personal contacts but also in interests. The probability of success is basically proportional to the investment. Although Weinstein is willing to spend money, he does not have more things to exchange than Adrian.

For example, in his talk with Campbell, Adrian hinted that AC media could further cooperate with the college through him - what kind of cooperation? Then we need to carry out specific negotiations under the signboard of youth. If you are the boss of another media group, the college may have concerns, but Adrian is different. Everyone knows about AC media. He is in charge of strategic conception, while Claude is in charge of specific administration. Although he always stirs the wind and stirs the rain, for example, what happened in Brokeback Mountain, he always appears in the public view as a director and producer most of the time, which means that he is different from other media tycoons.In other words, the guy who supported the development of AC media by his own works and vision is his own.

Several aspects come down, plus Adrian's requirements are not much. Although the best actress for several years has been put forward by him, it does not violate the rules. As long as the old school directors are hesitant, Adrian, who is well prepared, will have a way to turn it into his own advantage with the help of Campbell, and finally achieve his goal.

Some people may say, is it not worthwhile to spend so much time just for public relations to be a best actress? Of course not! Adrian said, though. It's just a request, but he and Campbell both know it. It's just a talk. As long as there is a chance in the middle of the lobbying, he will not mind saying a few more words. It is just a matter of a few seconds. What's more, Campbell is a Jew, and he has a lot of relations with the Jewish groups within the college. Taking this opportunity to have full contact with them is an important weight in Adrian's plan for the last step of next year.

The matter is like this for the time being. The specific situation is arranged and communicated by professionals. At least, the two parties had already made a few efforts to settle the dispute before the film was announced, because she had already made a few attempts to get into the Academy of art, and then had a few chances to enter the Academy.

Of course, the goblin is not necessarily the best supporting actress, not to mention more than her unfortunate people, such as Peter. The original "Brokeback Mountain" still has a best supporting actor nomination, but I don't know whether the Academy doesn't like him or his luck is really bad. Peter didn't get the nomination. It's a pity that his performance is better than the original.

Fortunately, without the best supporting actor and the best art director, Brokeback Mountain has basically maintained eight nominations.

"Memoirs of a Geisha", which is also unfortunate, failed to win any of several important awards. Only a few technical awards, such as best costume, best score and best adapted script, were won. Adrian also felt a bit of a pity for this. At first, he hoped to win a nomination for the best actress for Yuki Hui. On the one hand, it was a reward for her. On the other hand, he just occupied the nomination quota to further create space for Natalie.

Obviously, the academy has no plans to make the Oscars more open at the moment, although it nominated Watanabe for best supporting actor last year. However, it doesn't matter. Everything can't go well. As long as you can achieve your goal in the end, it doesn't matter if something goes wrong in the middle of the way. As for Ji Hui, he will definitely have a chance to compensate in the future.
