Chapter 834

"… 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 … "

Similar reports like this were endless after the release of the Oscar nomination list. The relationship between Adriaan and Natalie has always been a hot topic. Everyone knows that every Miracle Girl is very ambiguous with the Miracle Director, and there was once a rumor that Natalie is the only one that Adriaan has not been able to get. Therefore, whether she is a Miracle Girl has always been a topic that many people like to gossip about. In their opinion, with Adriaan's playboy character, it is impossible for him to not get her. Perhaps it has something to do with Natalie's failure to win the award when she was nominated for the first time with the Miracle Director's film?

Now she is the female lead in his film again, and she is nominated for Best Actress again. Only God knows how many chemical effects this will have in people's eyes.

Formal media are still very disciplined in traditional newspapers and magazines, but they are very open on the Internet. For example, the article on the website of The New York Times hinted that the relationship between Natalie and Adriaan is not shallow.

Unfortunately, the effect of this was not great. Even though the Oscar nomination made "Go Forth" and Natalie reappear in front of the public, "Brokeback Mountain" still received the most attention. After the eight nominations were announced, even though they have spent a lot of energy in the war of words with the conservatives, the gay organizations still excitedly declared that this is another victory. The conservative groups, who have already semi-publicly declared that they will stop "Brokeback Mountain" from reaching the Oscars, will no doubt fight with them again. This is undoubtedly very eye-catching.

In addition, Jaquen has also been nominated for "Go Forth," and the Finisher Brothers are also competing for Best Actor. Coupled with a certain someone's deliberate guidance, the news about Natalie is ranked behind them. In the flat society of the Internet, where people can quickly find their own interests, such gossip may be hotly discussed, but it is still not enough to affect the public's opinion. Moreover, a certain someone has been working on the Internet for a long time. He doesn't need the cooperation of a few popular websites. All he needs to do is ask someone to change a few data and keywords, and everything will be under his control.

Therefore, Adriaan does not pay too much attention to it. While it is chaotic outside, he will accompany the women and play with the child. Evelyn, who was born prematurely, is very healthy, but compared to her sisters, she is still slightly lacking. When she cries, the doctor said that if she does not take good care of her, she will become weak and sickly in the future.

Fortunately, Evelyn is the same as Albo, eating and sleeping every day. She does not cry much. Who knows if she will be like Albo in the future? Although the little fellow was about to be one year old, he still looked uninterested in anything. He sat on the bed all day and looked at everything around him with his eyes wide open. He didn't have much time to play with toys and didn't like to make any noise. He just liked to look at things and sometimes fell asleep while looking.

Once, Gwyneth left her daughter on the sofa and left. When she came back, the little girl's head drooped, and she nodded. She reprimanded the nanny for this, thinking that her daughter has a mental problem. In order to comfort her, Adriaan brought her and Albo to the hospital for an evaluation. Naturally, the result was that there is nothing wrong with the little girl.

"How can there be a problem with my daughter?" Adriaan said proudly, and then Gwyneth rolled her eyes.

Of course, this is not all he does during this period of time. His main job is to attend all kinds of gatherings, and then lobby the target. This is not an easy job. In the past, he would occasionally canvass for votes for his works at some gatherings, but there are not many times. Secondly, most of the work is done by his subordinates, and it does not take much effort.

However, it is different when he personally participates. There are so many members in the academy. Even if he does not have to visit them one by one, he has to visit the core members who know and influence each other. Of course, the effect was also great. He was good with words and his status was high. Coupled with the help of a smart person like John Campbell, he easily gave the other party a good impression by flattering him without leaving a trace.

Even so, although he has always been energetic, it is inevitable that he will feel tired after attending a series of gatherings. After all, apart from these, there are many women at home that he has to deal with. Fortunately, many of the members in the academy have a good relationship with him, such as Hanks or his women. Coupled with the fact that his subordinates are not idle, he has basically achieved his goal.

After the Oscar nomination list is released, such gatherings gradually decrease. No matter what, the academy has explicitly prohibited the film company from holding parties to canvass for votes after the nomination list is released. Of course, what they do in private is another matter. It is fine as long as they do not find out. In this way, Adriaan is relatively more relaxed. He has already submitted the terms of the exchange through Campbell, and the rest is left to his subordinates to handle. He only needs to show his face and communicate with those who have the right to vote.

Even if someone catches this and accuses him of violating the rules to canvass for votes, the other party will not be able to expose it. Even if they do, there will be a lot of scapegoats. Who does not know what it means to take responsibility for the boss at this time?

Therefore, as long as it is not too out of control, he can do what he needs to do. For example —

"Hey, look, who's here." Will Smith, who is chatting with a friend with his wife, Jia Da, laughed and extended his hand to Adriaan. "I thought you would be a while later."

"I've been here for more than ten minutes, but I have 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, 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 laugh out loud.

"Don't worry, Will. I promise that everyone will like it." Adriaan smiled and patted his shoulder, then 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 is a little clumsy and cute. Of course, he is not stupid in real life, but he is also humorous and witty."

"Hello, Kevin. I am Adrian Kewell. You can call me Adriaan or Eide." Adriaan smiled and extended his hand to the chubby man.

"Hello, Mr. Kewell … Eide, it is 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 are great," Adriaan said. "My intuition tells me that you will 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."

"You don't have to go through so much trouble, Kevin. We'll celebrate for you after the premiere." Smith smiled and took over the topic, then looked around. "Oh, there is 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 will naturally appear when the screening starts."

Adriaan saw this and chuckled. He did not expose him and only 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 can 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 very good, 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 have never worked with Will before. It is normal to want to work together, but we have been married for so many years and know each other very well. I am afraid that it will be easy to laugh if we act together. Besides, this role is not very good." Pinkett sighed.

Just as Adriaan was about to say something, a woman's voice interrupted, "Hey, everyone, did I miss something?"

"Hey, Eva, where have you been?" Smith greeted first. "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 am Eva, Eva Mendes."

She was short, about 5 '5 ", and her wheat-colored skin looked healthy, which complemented her light, narrow tube, and deep V-neck dress. She was not beautiful, 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 inadvertently slid down the back of her hand.

Eva smiled charmingly. Her eyes unconsciously turned to the side, and there was an indescribable feeling hidden between her brows. Perhaps he sensed it, or perhaps he did not. 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 one body behind Kevin James.

After entering the theater, Adriaan immediately moved closer to Eva's ear and teased, "I have to say, Eva, you are still very charming."

Not only that, but he also placed a hand on her perky butt and wantonly rubbed it. Eva Mendes did not resist at all. Instead, she teased, "If you want, you can do it again anytime. Eide, because I think it is too troublesome, I am 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 hit on him, and when the two of them were alone, she did not shy away from teasing him. 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 tangled with each other 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 together. 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 now had a fixed boyfriend.

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 give him a good blow job, just like how he had done 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 UK and India last year, was a collaboration between Bollywood and a British film company. It was a movie that was made using "Pride and Prejudice." Most of the scenes were shot in the UK, 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 Valentine's Day this year.

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 — besides Campbell, he had also helped out a little — Adriaan came along to support, 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 US. 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, Aishwarya had said this half-jokingly and half-teasingly, but out of "respect" for her customs, Adriaan had only played in two places, and he had made her feel like dying. However, Aishwarya was not easy to deal with. Probably because she often did it, her mouth had a very good feel to it. Mendez was already very good at it, but he still could not beat her. Among his 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 Aishwarya.

Alright, let's not talk about this. Whether it was Aishwarya or Mendez, he had only played with them once. This could be considered a real one-night stand — Mendez did not even count, he 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.
