"… As expected, Natalie Portman was nominated for Best Actress again after 'Winter's Bone.' It seems that director Adrian Kewell's routine to tailor a movie for a woman every year and help her fight for the throne of Best Actress at the Oscars every year. Since the 71st Oscars, he has helped six female stars win this honor, and they are all completely different women. However, they have at least one thing in common, and that is, they are collectively known as the Miracle Girls.
This title comes from Adriaan himself. He has produced countless films with different styles but extremely outstanding achievements in the past few years, and people have called him the Miracle Director. Those female stars who have won his favor and can play the female lead in his films also have the title of Miracle Girls. However, whether Natalie is a Miracle Girl has always been a topic of debate. Although she has long worked with Adriaan in 'Winter's Bone,' many people have different opinions on whether she is a Miracle Girl or not. However, looking at the current 'Go Forth with Indomitable Will', this should be something that can be confirmed.
It has to be admitted that Natalie's acting skills are excellent. The emotions of the young June Carter are very convincing under her interpretation. Although those songs that she personally sang can't be compared to the original version, they are integrated into the whole film and promote the development of the plot. However, whether she can win the Oscar Best Actress Award with this role is still unknown. Adriaan is an excellent director, but he has consecutively won six Oscar Best Actress Awards, so the academy will definitely consider this. Secondly, Natalie is relatively young. Of course, then again, she has received two Best Supporting Actress nominations and one Best Actress nomination in just five years. Such a result will not be ignored by the academy. Maybe Adriaan can think of a way in this regard. Natalie's first Best Actress nomination was born from his hands … "
— New York Times Web site, entertainment page
After the Oscar nomination list was released, there was an endless stream of such reports. The relationship between Adriaan and Natalie had always been a hot topic. Everyone knew that every Miracle Girl was very ambiguous with the Miracle Director, and there was once a rumor that Natalie was the only one that Adriaan had not been able to get. Therefore, whether or not she was a Miracle Girl had always been a topic that many gossipers liked to discuss. In their opinion, with Adriaan's playboy personality, it was impossible for him to not be able to handle her. Perhaps it had something to do with Natalie's failure to win the award when she was nominated for the first time with a Miracle Director movie?
Now that she was once again the female lead in his movie and was nominated for Best Actress, only God knew what kind of chemical effect it would have in people's eyes.
Formal media were still very disciplined in traditional newspapers and magazines, but they were very open on the Internet. For example, the article on the New York Times website hinted that the relationship between Natalie and Adriaan was not shallow.
Unfortunately, this did not have much of an effect. Even though the Oscar nomination had made "Go Forth" and Natalie reappear in front of the public, "Brokeback Mountain" still received the most attention. After the eight nominations were released, even though they had expended a lot of energy in the war of words with the conservatives, the gay organizations still excitedly declared that it was another victory. The conservative groups, who had already semi-publicly declared that they would stop "Brokeback Mountain" from reaching the Oscars, had no choice but to compete with them again. This was undoubtedly very eye-catching.
In addition, Jaquen had also been nominated for "Go Forth," and the Finisher Brothers were also competing for Best Actor. Coupled with a certain someone's deliberate guidance, the news about Natalie was ranked behind them. In the flat society of the Internet, where people could quickly find their own interests, such gossip might be hotly discussed, but it was still not enough to influence the public opinion. Moreover, a certain someone had already started working on the Internet. He did not need the cooperation of several popular websites. All he had to do was ask someone to change a few data and keywords, and everything would be under his control.
Therefore, Adriaan did not pay too much attention to it. While it was chaotic outside, he was playing with his wife and child. Evelyn, who was born prematurely, was basically very healthy. However, compared to her sisters, she was still slightly lacking. When she cried, she did not cry very loudly. The doctor said that if she did not take good care of her, she would become weak and sickly in the future.
Fortunately, Evelyn was the same as Albo, eating and sleeping every day. She did not cry much. Who knew if she would become like Albo in the future? Even though the little girl was about to turn one, she still looked uninterested in anything. She sat on the bed all day, looking around with her eyes wide open. She did not spend much time playing with toys, and did not like to make a sound. All she liked to do was look at things. Sometimes, she would fall asleep while looking.
Once, Gwyneth left her daughter on the sofa and left. When she returned, the little girl's head drooped, and she nodded. She reprimanded the nanny for this, and for a time, she thought that her daughter had a mental problem. In order to comfort her, Adriaan had to take her and Albo to the hospital for an evaluation. Naturally, there was nothing wrong with the little girl.
"How could there be a problem with my daughter?" Adriaan declared proudly. Then, he received a supercilious look from Gwyneth.
Of course, this was not all he had to do during this period of time. Most of his work was to attend various gatherings and lobby for his targets. This was not an easy task. In the past, he would occasionally canvass for votes for his works at some gatherings, but firstly, he did not do it often. Secondly, most of the work was done by his subordinates, so he did not have to spend much energy on it.
However, it was different when he was personally involved. There were so many members in the academy. Even if he did not have to visit them one by one, he had to visit the core members who knew and influenced each other one by one. Of course, the effect was great. He was good with words, and his status was high. In addition, he had the help of a smart person like John Campbell. He easily gave the other party a good impression by flattering them.
Even so, even though he had always been energetic, it was inevitable that he would feel tired after attending a series of gatherings. After all, apart from these, there were many women at home that he had to deal with. Fortunately, many of the members in the academy had a good relationship with him, such as Hanks or his women. In addition, his subordinates were not idle, so he had basically achieved his goal.
Then, after the Oscar nomination list was released, such gatherings gradually decreased. No matter what, the academy had explicitly prohibited the film company from holding parties to canvass for votes after the nomination list was released. Of course, what they did in private was another matter. It was fine as long as they did not find out. In this way, Adriaan was relatively more relaxed. He had already submitted the terms of the exchange through Campbell, and the rest was left to his subordinates to handle. He only needed to show his face appropriately and communicate with those who had voting rights.
Even if someone caught this and accused him of canvassing for votes, putting aside whether the other party would be able to expose him, even if they did, there would be plenty of scapegoats. Who did not know what it meant to take the blame for the boss at this time?
Therefore, as long as it did not go too far out of his control, he could do what he had to do. For example —
"Hey, look, who's here." Will Smith, who was chatting with a friend with his wife, Jia Da, laughed and extended his hand to Adriaan. "I thought you were going to be here for a while."
"I've been here for more than ten minutes, but I had something to discuss with a friend." Adriaan shook his hand and said, "How do you feel? Your first comedy movie is about to be released."
"Oh, I'm very nervous!" Smith put on an exaggerated expression. "Just as you said, this is my first comedy movie. What if the audience doesn't like it? What if they hate me from then on? "
His glib manner made the people around him burst into laughter.
"Don't worry, Will. I guarantee that everyone will like it." Adriaan smiled and patted his shoulder. Then, he shook hands with his wife before looking at the chubby man on the other side.
"This is Kevin James." Smith immediately introduced him. "My … client in the movie. He's a little clumsy and cute. Of course, he's not stupid in real life, but he's also humorous and witty."
"Hello, Kevin. I'm Adrian Kewell. You can call me Adriaan or Eide." Adriaan smiled and extended his hand to the chubby man.
"Hello, Mr. Kewell … Eide. It's my honor to meet you." James looked excited. "I never thought that I would be so close to you. I like every one of your works."
"Thank you, Kevin. Although I only saw some of the trailers for 'Rivals of the Nation', I can tell that you're great," Adriaan said. "My intuition tells me that you'll be an excellent comedian."
"Really? That's great! " James was even more excited. "I have to celebrate when I go back. Director Miracle said so himself."
"Don't bother, Kevin. We'll celebrate for you after the premiere." Smith smiled and took over the topic. Then, he looked around. "Oh, there's one more person I want to introduce to you … Eh, she was here just now."
Hearing his somewhat regretful tone, Jada Pinkett immediately glanced at him. Smith immediately came back to his senses and stopped looking around. He put on a smile and said, "Forget it. She'll naturally appear when the screening starts."
Adriaan chuckled and did not say anything. He just helped to change the topic. "By the way, Will, have you read the script I gave you? How does it feel? "
"Oh, yes, it's great. It's exactly the role I want." Speaking of this, Smith became excited. "I can't wait to start filming. When Jada heard that we could act together, she was so happy that she almost collapsed the house."
"You're talking about that script?" Pinkett interrupted.
"Yes, dear. The one that Eide recommended to me. It's not bad, right?" Smith nodded.
"Yes, I like it too." Pinkett sighed. "To be honest, I want to fight for the role of the wife, but I don't want to fight for it at the same time."
"Why?" Adriaan asked curiously.
"I've never worked with Will before. It's normal to want to work with him, but we've been married for so many years and know each other very well. I'm afraid it'll be easy to laugh if we act together. Besides, this role isn't very good." Pinkett sighed.
Just as Adriaan was about to say something, a woman's voice interrupted, "Hey, guys, did I miss something?"
"Hey, Eva, where have you been?" Smith was the first to greet her. "Eide has been here for a while."
"Yes, I saw him just now." The woman smiled and extended her hand to Adriaan. "Hello, Mr. Kewell. I'm Eva, Eva Mendes."
She was not tall, about five feet five inches. Her wheat-colored skin made her look healthy, which complemented her narrow V-neck dress. She was not very pretty, but she had a good figure. She had a Latin style and looked very sexy. She also had a beauty mark on her face, which was very attractive to men.
"Hello, Eva. Please call me Adriaan or Eide." Adriaan smiled and extended his hand to shake hers. Then, his thumb slid down the back of her hand.
Eva smiled charmingly. Her eyes turned to the side unconsciously, and there was an indescribable feeling hidden between her brows. Perhaps he sensed it, or perhaps he didn't. Seeing that it was almost time, he said a few more words. Smith and his wife greeted him and entered the theater. Adriaan followed them, but he was a body behind Kevin James.
"I have to say, Eva, you're still very charming," Adriaan said teasingly in Eva's ear after they entered the theater.
Not only that, but he also placed a hand on her perky butt and began to knead it wantonly. Eva Mendes did not resist at all. Instead, she curled her lips seductively and said, "If you want, you can do it again anytime. Eide, because I think it's too much trouble, I'm not wearing underwear right now."
When Adriaan entered the theater, he ran into Eva before he saw Smith. To be exact, it was she who took the initiative to come over and flirt with him when they were alone. As mentioned before, Adriaan had always been open to such situations. What's more, Eva Mendes was considered sexy and tasteful. It was also very good to have sex with her.
However, he still slightly underestimated the woman's boldness. The two of them made love behind the square pillar on the second floor of the front hall in front of so many people below. At the most exciting moment, as long as someone looked up, they would see the two of them pressed against each other. This was not surprising. After losing many opportunities, Eva Mendes was still able to make a name for herself and fight for the female lead role in "Rivals of the Nation" to work with Will Smith. Naturally, she would not let go of any opportunity, even if she had a fixed boyfriend now.
Adriaan had a clear conscience. Not only did he have a passionate time with her on the corridor on the second floor before the movie started, but he also left midway to find two places for her to blow on him, just like how he had played with Aishwarya Ray.
Because February 14th was the traditional Valentine's Day, many romantic comedies chose to be released at this time, such as Will Smith's "Rivals of the Nation" and Bollywood's "Bride and Prejudice." As everyone knew, India's Bollywood had always been very closed off. It was not easy to get movies from other countries in, and it was not easy to get their movies out. It did not matter if you watched the scenes of singing and dancing once or twice, but after watching it for too long, you would get tired of it. However, Indians always enjoyed it. It had to be said that they were really weird.
Of course, it was not easy. Some Hollywood blockbusters still had a market in India, and some Indian movies of decent quality would also be released in North America. For example, "Bride and Prejudice," which was released in the United Kingdom and India last year, was a collaboration between Bollywood and a British film company. It was a movie made using "Pride and Prejudice." Most of the scenes were shot in the United Kingdom, and the dialogue was in British English instead of Hindi music. Therefore, Miramax obtained the North American distribution rights and arranged for it to be released on the eve of this year's Valentine's Day.
It was rare for an Indian movie to be released in North America, and a general premiere had to be held. Then, for the sake of Weinstein — apart from Campbell, he also helped out a little — Adriaan came along to support them, and he took a fancy to the female lead of the movie. It was said that Aishwarya Ray, who was known as Bollywood's number one beauty.
Although he had an Indian girl by his side, and Pu Yaka was interning at a big hospital that had a good relationship with AC Media, and would probably officially graduate next year, she would come over from time to time and roll in the sheets with him with the flight attendants. But after all, she had grown up in the United States. And Aishwarya was a proper Indian girl, and she did not smell like curry. In addition, Adriaan just hooked his finger slightly, and she would come over, so naturally, they had a good time.
What was even more interesting was that even though they had already been honest with each other, the bashful Aishwarya said that she was an MSL and had to keep her chastity until marriage, so she could only play with her backside and mouth. Adriaan had wanted to tease her a little. One look between her legs told him that she had a rich sexual life, and in this circle, even an MSL couldn't avoid certain things, not to mention that there were no big shots in her family.
In fact, when Aishwarya said that, it was half-joking and half-teasing, but out of "respect" for her customs, Adriaan only played in two places, and made her feel like dying. However, Aishwarya was not easy to deal with. Probably because she often did it, her mouth was very good at it. Mendes was already very good at it, but he still couldn't beat her. Among his own women, probably only Julia and Annie, who had the advantage, and Britney, who had been trained the best and would not refuse as long as it was Adriaan's request, were better than her.
Alright, let's not talk about this. Whether it was Aishwarya or Mendes, he only played with them once. This could be considered a real one-night stand — Mendes did not even count, and had only done it twice — so it was fine to just brush them off. Then, the 77th Academy Awards Ceremony, which had already been set on a date, was just around the corner.
