King of Hollywood

Chapter 129 Step by step

"Adrian's new film, his fifth feature, "Pulp Fiction", which won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival, was finally released yesterday. Admittedly, this film that maintains his usual style is still It is very attractive. Too many people have described the ubiquitous details and the structure of the circular narrative, so I won’t mention it here. The biggest feature of this movie is the anti-traditional narrative story full of postmodernism. The collages of plots and subversions of deep patterns are both surprising and, by Adrian's own admission, a fun and entertaining film.

But the most surprising thing is not brought by this movie. At the press conference after the premiere, the wizard director personally announced that he is about to start the production of a new movie. Well, I know a lot of people will see this and say in their hearts: Oh, here we go again. Indeed, the director with the title of workaholic has started to produce his own new film, and sometimes it is really doubtful whether he will die from overwork one day. But this is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that Adrian announced that the new movie will be a complete literary drama movie

God, a director known for his cult style, who just won the highest honor at the Cannes Film Festival and the unanimous approval of the critics for such a film, actually wants to make a thoroughly literary film, just think about it All feel terrible. The difference between these two types of movies is probably greater than that of the Atlantic Ocean. I don't understand why Adrian wants to change his style so drastically.

Well, good directors don’t want to limit themselves to one genre, they are always eager to break through, this is not a strange thing, Adrian himself also thinks that he is now confined to a very small within range. But it doesn’t mean that if you want to make a breakthrough, you can definitely make a breakthrough. Adrian’s previous "The Shawshank Redemption" did a good job. The cult style in it is not obvious, and a lot of humanistic care is obviously added to the plot. Step by step is always the best Methods.

Now suddenly abandon the original style, and then gamble to produce a new type of movie. If it fails, the previous accumulation will fall short. Especially since his previous fourth film has been refrigerated due to failure, it is difficult for people to be optimistic about his breakthrough this time.

Well, I hope I'm just thinking too much, maybe Adrian will be a shocker, but I don't know. "

This is a report published in the "New York Times", which can basically represent the attitude of most entertainment journalists, that is, they are not optimistic about Adrian's literary drama movies. After all, the debate about his fourth movie is still going on, because Adrian has hardly defended himself before, and almost everyone thinks he acquiesced to the news of failure.

Therefore, many reporters feel that the reason why he put all his eggs in one basket to try a film with a completely different style is that he was stimulated by the failure of the fourth film and the success of the fifth film, so it is inevitable that some people will write sarcastically: " For Adrian, the Palme d'Or brought him much more pressure than honor, otherwise he would not want to use this method to prove himself. He even declared that the fourth film did not fail, waiting for the It will be released within this year to prove this. I really can’t understand why he suddenly said so well. Usually, such a declaration is either very confident in himself, or he refuses to admit his failure. Frankly speaking, I am in Ah Derian doesn't see the first point."

Of course, there are not many such satires. Except for some tabloid reporters who aim to please the public, most people’s tone is quite peaceful, even if there is sarcasm, it will be just right, like the New York Times reporter who gave a little blessing at the end There are also a little. It's just that no matter what, their point of view will not change.

It's just that, no matter how heated the discussion in the media is, Adrian, as the person involved, has never responded in the slightest.

"No, the more this happens, the less you need to respond, otherwise it will only let the reporters go wild. Besides, I haven't revealed the most important thing yet. I bet they will go crazy when they find out." Adrian Ann said to Claude on the phone, "So, instead of worrying about me, you might as well think more about the company."

He has been doing his own things according to the plan at a leisurely pace, such as contacting Hopkins, or urging the screenwriters to write the script of "True Lies", and at the same time exchanging the "Philadelphia Story" with Demi on the phone. Opinion.

Of course, the most important thing is to talk to Claude about the company's situation. The acquisition of the record company is already underway. Just like the acquisition of Bosworth Films, they selected a medium-sized but well-established record company. Compared with that time, the funds are already sufficient, so the scope of selection has also expanded a lot. It doesn't matter if the performance is good or bad, the key lies in the length of time it has been established and how the corporate culture is. What the media needs most now is the foundation.

Bad Gray Records is their goal. In the 1970s, this company had a few glorious moments and released some popular singers. It is said that Madonna was almost signed by them-of course, it is just a rumor. In addition, many great records have been released and produced on classical music, and there are many outstanding producers and singers in the heyday.

However, there were ups and downs, and in the mid-1980s, Bad Gray Records gradually declined due to a series of decision-making mistakes and its competitiveness was not as good as that of several major record companies. Even so, the company's distribution channels and personal connections have always been maintained very well, and this is exactly what Crowder likes.

After several negotiations, the other party offered a reasonable price. Claude felt that it was acceptable and informed Adrian of the situation. Although Adrian, who said he knew it, didn't feel much about these things, he began to think about whether to make some good songs, such as finding some young boys and forming a group?

It's just that although those songs are familiar and well remembered, he doesn't know how to get them out. He can't ask a music producer to come and listen to him sing, right? Yes, Adrian can play the piano, play the guitar and read the staves, but it doesn't mean that he can write these songs without flaws and without doubt.

Forget it, let's talk about it after Claude has rectified the record company, there will be a way. Adrian, who had no idea after much deliberation, immediately put it behind him, and then began to concentrate on the second most important thing.

"Very good, very beautiful, but it doesn't match the color of the trousers. You can change to a pair of trousers with a darker color." When the figure flashed out of the dressing room, Adrian, who was sitting on a chair and waiting for the boredom, suddenly became energetic Shaking up, he looked up and down carefully and said seriously.

"Really?" Kate turned around a few times, and then looked in the mirror again, "I don't think so."

"So what's your opinion, Kate?" Adrian said with a smile. This kind of backlash has not happened once or twice in this period of time, and he knows what Kate is thinking about.

Just think of Kate standing in the living room looking at him with folded arms when he got home in Los Angeles and saying, "Ha, back from your muse at last?"

You can see how upset she is.

And Adrian's solution is to resist Kate, take Kate to the room, throw her on the bed, hold her down and whip her until she can't get up. The reason for being so unceremonious is because I have been coaxing on the phone for a long time before, and now it is better to have the most intimate contact directly if I continue to coax. Kate's reaction was indeed in his expectation. After a few minutes of rest after the first time, she turned over and rode on him in the riding position, and the second time was the best proof.

Although such a simple solution to this small gap, jealous women are often unreasonable, so Kate had to argue with him during this period. Adrian would rank dating Kate as the second most important thing, and it has nothing to do with this.

Watching Kate continue to go into the dressing room to change after the audition, a smile appeared on the corner of Adrian's mouth. No matter what the argument is, she will still listen to her own opinion, so there is no need to worry too much.

Thinking of this, Adrian couldn't help pinching his fingers, and Monica's figure appeared in his heart again. Soon? No, there's no rush, it's better to do everything step by step, there will be bread, and milk... there will also be some.

After shopping, I discussed with Kate, and the two went back to the villa to have dinner together. Mrs. Galen left, as before, with Mexican rice and bacon, and they just had to make some salad and soup.

"I'm still good at making soup." After tasting the soup in the small pot, Adrian said boastfully.

Kate, who was cutting tomatoes, snorted, threw the diced tomatoes into a large glass bowl, washed her hands and poured the seasoning.

"Well, Kate's English-style salad is also very good." Adrian smiled and grabbed her waist from behind.

"How does it compare to your muse's Italian-style salad?" Kate rolled her eyes at him.

"Please, do you have to use this title?" Adrian sighed exaggeratedly.

"Then what do you call a jealous woman?" Kate turned her head around Adrian's neck, her expression was a little serious, and some hesitation and worry flashed in her eyes, "Amy... my friend told me that a director When calling his heroine a muse...not a good thing."

"Remember what I told you on the phone?" Adrian smiled and reached out to scratch her nose. "Most of the time, the goddess can only watch from a distance."

Well, most of the time it does.

Kate looked at his dark eyes without blinking, and suddenly turned around to hold the glass bowl: "Okay, let's have dinner first."

Adrian then held her arm: "Why, is it enough to end the topic like this?"

"Then what do you think, Mr. Adrian?" Kate gave him a sideways look.

"I'm going to London soon, and I won't be back in a few months, so—" Adrian clings to her, "I want to eat you here first."

"Here? Are you sure you can eat it?" Kate suddenly reached out and grabbed his bottom with a fierce smile.

“Try it and you will know”
