Before following several days still and different, Adrian and Cate stroll the scenic spot to taste the good food to tour the local conditions and social customs, occasionally under the inquiry the «Memento» matter, probably comes to take vacation to Berlin.
Because although «The Silence of the Lambs» and other a series of stylish movies open in each theater that the film festival assigns one after another, «Memento» attention dropped much, but the popularity has hit . Moreover the movie critic's performing skill reputation to Dennis and Qiao's destroys to be short to Cate is the praise or blame, either thinks very good, either thought that adds on the ability that Fern displays very bad again, does not need to be worried about the propaganda work of movie completely.
For this reason, Adrian no matter independently, he is also in any case hopeless can attain any award item at the Berlin International Film Festival. The reality is often unexpected, at the two weeks later presentation ceremonies «Memento» has won the appraisal committee special prize unexpectedly!
„Thank the appraisal committees to issue this prize to me......” do not look Adrian mounted the stage to receive an award spoke with confidence to thank a large quantities of person, was muttering at heart these appraisal committees were the head enter the water.
Although the appraisal committee special prize and a Venice of best new person prize nature Berlin International Film Festival, may no matter what also represent the approvals of film festival these appraisal committees. Do not look at the appraisal committees of film festival from world, truly may be able to decide what or can at crucial moments about the result is these film-makers in German as well as surrounding area, Venice, Cannes, San Sebastian wait / etc. film festivals none who does not so, Oscar is no exception.
These film festivals or the movie award items have their subject, naturally cannot issue the award item at will does not conform to the subject the movie. Before has said that the subject of Berlin International Film Festival is the politics, but the «Memento» subject did not relate with the politics, in addition the best director has issued to some Jonathan Demme «The Silence of the Lambs» many also politics flavors, for example the daughter of that kidnapped senator will have no reason to comfort the prize to issue a US movie again. Why then the appraisal committees will hand over in the appraisal committee special prize the Adrian hand?
Adrian regarding this is very puzzled, until chatted several with Fern , after unifying own cognition, was understood. The present Berlin International Film Festival could not have compared by far the 10 years later Berlin International Film Festival, although wholeheartedly wants to pursue Venice and Cannes has not the small disparity for various reasons throughout, this reputations European three big film festivals are very reluctant. Now two virtue just unified, has further widened this gap, but Adrian just won the Venice Film Festival best new person prize.
Does not have that director in the several months to produce two qualities both are counted while the movie like Adrian, obtained not the small honor and box office is extremely splendid, but another also obtained the quite high appraisal in movie critic there, even has been over first. Such being the case, issued two appraisal committee special prize to him is also not the matter at the worst, this award item basically was to comfort the nature in any case, moreover two can't, be inferior including the Venice Film Festival? Also «Memento» completely had with the qualifications of prize.
Actually, to put it bluntly, film festival anything actually divides the cake, so long as there is qualifications to divide, but can divide to must look at the luck. After interlinked these, Adrian also no longer cares it, Fern well will naturally use the award that wins to drum up support the propaganda for screening of movie.
After presentation ceremony, similarly time-consuming two weeks of Berlin International Film Festival ended, Adrian delivering Cate returned to London to stay two days later to return to Los Angeles.
The following matter naturally waited , the Berlin International Film Festival was on February 4 opens, concluded naturally is on February 18, but the closure time of first Persian Gulf War was on February 28.
Naturally, Adrian is not idle, North American distribution of «Memento» after assigning to give to be global started the life before typewriter. In London during the stay in Berlin Cate, but has not closely examined little «Tomb Raider» novel content, in the plan of Adrian were also many «Philadelphia Story» script.
Generally speaking is very satisfied, not one month ago all day stays in the editing room anxious. The only regret is Cate not in the side, particularly often thinks of her fiery dressed carcass as well as, when under his training welcomed persuasively presents the appearance. Since the tour of previous time Los Angeles, various methods of Cate experienced rich Adrian with play with thoroughly is unable to extricate oneself on the bed, almost can achieve „on the bed next xx beds xx” situation.
Also because of so, will be complaining to Adrian in that night Cate of Berlin unceasingly. Complained turns over to the complaint, how should also probably be what kind, was those words, is in love the person always to lack the reason.
The time crossed in February, 1990 finally, along with the multinational force of Persian Gulf after announced that on the 28 th stops attacked had ended 100 hours of ground campaigns, lasted one month of Persian Gulf War in light of this draws to a close. Then, is takes inventory the spoils of war the time, military, the financial big alligator, owed, have gained.
The telephone bell on table does not have the indication has made a sound, will be pondering under Adrian jumps. Has hesitated, he took up the receiver to ask: „Hello, which?”
„Ide, is I.” That side has broadcast Chrowder's voice, follows also has the heavy breathing, hu-hu, is clear, as if somewhat cannot gasp for breath.
„Hi, Crowe, you gave me finally the telephone, may sink de to live in the air/Qi, I also think that you absconded to escape.” Although Adrian at heart thump, but with teasing the expression said that except for Adrian said through the telephone after Chrowder on February 20 short sentence „on the 28 th”, the period of their carried on has not related completely.
„You know...... You know...... Some fund altogether how many that we initially invested?” In breathing heavy even more clear, with also has the sound of tearing, Chrowder is drawing the tie on neck probably.
„Besides my 65 million, you also invested 10 million, is almost 80 million over.” Adrian recalled carefully, „was good, do not keep guessing, told me the special details.”
„...... 10 times!” After hard sledding has swallowed a saliva, that side broadcasts such sound.
„Ha, good, unexpectedly turned 10...... You said anything! 10 times!” Adrian has almost not thrown the microphone in hand, he opens the eye to control his body stubbornly strongly, but the tooth was still nipped the young lady to make noise.
„Yes, right, 10 times! You have not misunderstood! Is 10 times! I made this sum of money turn 10 times fully! Gained 800 million US dollars!” Telephone that side Chrowder immediately insolent laughs, probably fulled floaded operation the air/Qi the balloon to be broken by to bind suddenly, inside air shouted has divulged.
Adrian makes an effort to open the eye, covered the forehead to breathe the air/Qi in gulps, his breath became and beforehand Chrowder equally is also serious. He has not thought that can be this, he most starts also to expect that can rise 2-3, strives to gain 2 and 300 million, 80 million US dollars unexpectedly turned into 800 million finally unexpectedly! This really yes damn sudden and huge profits! Chrowder this fellow......
„Chrowder, your this fellow......” Adrian also starts to pull own neckband, as if this can make itself comfortable, „you damn were too great!”
„Ha Ha, I love these words, said again, said again!”
„You too damn great! Very great!”
Two people on talking of such full mouth bad language, each one that side makes an effort to thrash the table, sends out ping ping the sound, as if this cannot vent their excitements. Like this after crossing for a long time, by the telephone two talented people were quiet gradually.
„Cannot believe really how you achieve, Crowe?” The Adrian of paralyzed in high seat back cushion chair asked like this, obviously is still fluctuating his chest to the present.
„I do not know that I simply have not considered these, my complete attention concentrates is buying up sells above, the digit of fund again greatly for me also merely is only the digit. When all conclusions came back to look again, my solid being startled.” Saying that Chrowder recalls, the joy in expression is very obvious.
„Your non- conceal is splendid, Crowe, although before , had said innumerable, but I must say that you are outstanding.” Adrian wholehearted saying.
„Yes, naturally,” Chrowder laughs, „knows that Ide, when I told the old man these, his complexion was really too splendid, he has not thought probably I can also achieve this situation.”
„I have to remind you,” Adrian somewhat funny saying, in the world all fathers and sons are very similar in certain places, „that old man in your mouth, since your father is also my godfather.”
„Knew knew,” sighing that Chrowder exaggerates, „I have proven myself, has what not to be right?”
Fortunately, he adds immediately: „Naturally, without the information that you provide, was I impossible to achieve this situation you to be all right recently? Person who without Securities Regulatory Commission asks you to drink the coffee?”
„What's wrong, you think very much they do look for me?” Adrian has ridiculed one.
„Hey, I care about you.” Chrowder was busy at calling out.
„Good, I knew, in the evening has free time? I think us should detailed chatting well.” Adrian receives to open the expression of joke to say earnestly.
„Does not have the issue, Loursa dining room, you treat.” Chrowder said immediately.
„Good, I treat.” Adrian has laughed.
Puts down the receiver, before Adrian stands up arrives at the window, opens the window curtains, Los Angeles that permanent invariable sunlight immediately has sprinkled, illuminates bright the study room. After he extends incomparably stretched happily, to the beautiful sky is narrowing the eye.
Has not thought really this harvest meets so greatly, is not only that are many to expect several times of sufficient funds, Chrowder...... Very good, in several plans of preparation can designate, remaining how looks to convince him!
