Chapter 63: Chapter 63: The Male Protagonist

To tell the truth, which director or producer could achieve what Adrian has? His first film won the Best Newcomer Award at the Venice Film Festival, and his second film received the Grand Jury Prize at the Berlin Film Festival. Though luck played a role, it didn't overshadow the excellence of these two films—people in the industry refer to him as a genius director! These two low-budget, high-box-office films pushed Adrian to the pinnacle of second-tier directors and producers. Laverne was almost certain that, with proper management after the release of "The Shawshank Redemption," Adrian's promotion to top-tier director and producer was almost a done deal.
