King of Hollywood

Chapter 131 Long shot

At dusk, the afterglow of the sun shone in the woods, covering the whole manor with a layer of misty yellow. On the forest path, Henry, the current owner of the manor, and his new wife Margaret walked side by side, and behind him Not far followed Margaret's sister Helen.

The three of them seemed to have their own thoughts, Henry looked a little impatient, Margaret looked a little embarrassed and depressed, and Helen at the end was a little bit resentful.

"Can't you really help him?" Margarita asked with a sigh.

"Mary, you have to understand that we and him are people from two different worlds, and we have already helped him, haven't we?" Henry said unhurriedly, "Can we stop this topic here?"

"But it was because of your help that Leonard lost his job." Helen raised her skirt and followed a few steps behind, glaring at Henry angrily.

"Cut" Adrian yelled just before Hopkins could speak.

He frowned and shook his head slightly, walked up to the three of them in a few steps, looked at Hopkins and then at Thompson, finally crossed his arms and focused his eyes on Kate: "Know what your problem is?" ?"

Kate recalled it carefully and shook her head in a daze. Adrian shrugged with a sigh, then turned and walked back, shouting: "Start again"

Kate opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but she swallowed it in the end. She just looked at Adrian's back with a slightly sad look. She had NGed about a dozen times, but he never told her what the problem was. If it was at any other time, she could still slowly adjust and explore, but what she is doing now is long-shot shooting. A shot is at least five or six minutes long. If it is always NG at the end, it will not only delay the progress but also Wasted everyone's energy.

"Don't worry, take your time." Thompson whispered comfortingly in her ear, "I think Ed wants you to understand what the problem is, which will be good for you."

"Thank you, Emma." Kate forced a smile, took a deep breath and returned to the original position.

In fact, these long shots were not in the original version, and Adrian naturally had his own considerations for making such an arrangement. In a sense, this movie is also a landscape film, showing the cultural scenery of the Victorian era from one side. These things account for a large proportion of the whole movie. Adrian also specially invited two experts to the crew Give advice to prevent mistakes in details, and the costume designer and prop designer also hired people from the UK.

When the work was finished yesterday evening, it happened that the afterglow was shining like this, and the whole manor was shrouded in hazy light, which looked extraordinarily flavorful. Such weather is very rare in Britain, which is famous for rain and fog, so after this scene appeared again the next day, Adrian decided to use a long lens to show this scene.

As a person who often touched the camera in his previous life and has copied 5 movies now, this is basically difficult. Besides, even if the shooting is not very good, it can be cut into short shots when editing.

But in this way, because the shooting time was too long, some of Kate's shortcomings were immediately exposed. Although she has done a lot of homework, read the script countless times, and discussed it with Adrian, but after all, she has not starred in many movies, and she is still a little immature in terms of skills, so NG has become a big deal .

Faced with this situation, Adrian unexpectedly did not give guidance, and would only ask the last sentence after each NG: Do you know where the problem is? Then the filming continued regardless of Kate's answer.

It's not that he doesn't want to direct, but if the director needs to explain for a long time, Kate's acting skills will be slow to improve. Although she is fairly smart, she is still a lot worse than those who are born to act.

After shooting two more times in this way, Adrian announced that the work was over when the sun had completely set.

After dinner in the restaurant of the manor, the staff began to rest in twos and threes. The women usually find a small room to chat. As for the men, although the British and the Americans are not completely different, they also have their own small rooms. Circles, and occasionally quarrels.

At this time, the role of Hopkins is reflected. He is both British and has lived in the United States for a long time, and the staff also respect him, so it is much more convenient to mediate than others.

"Emma, ​​I want to leave and stay here obediently for now, okay?" After staying in the women's room for ten minutes, Adrian finally couldn't help but want to leave.

No way, Emma must be by his side, and he can't take the little girl and a bunch of boys to brag, right? But in the women's chat room, the much-loved little girl is at home, but he doesn't feel a little bored.

"I'm going too." The little girl who was still sitting in Thompson's arms suddenly climbed down with both hands and feet, ran over shaking and grabbed Adrian's clothes.

"Oh, my dear Emma, ​​can you give me a little private time?" Adrian sighed, pinched Emma's little face and looked at Thompson who was standing by the long table.

"Emma, ​​let your Uncle Ed do his thing," Thompson walked over with a smile and picked up the little guy from behind, "Maybe you want to hear me tell you a story?"

Emma bit her lip and looked at Thompson and then at Adrian. After a while, she pouted and said hesitantly, "It won't be too late when you come back."

"Understood, miss." Adrian raised his hands helplessly, looked at Thompson who was covering his mouth and giggling, then turned around and walked out in big strides.

When he came to the living room, the people gathered here had dispersed, and Adrian went straight to the door of the room, and stretched himself facing the shadows of the trees swaying outside in the night. Fortunately, in the crew, the little guy and Thompson still get along well, or is it because they are both named Emma? But Thompson is good at coaxing children is also one of the reasons.

Adrian couldn't help but turned around and looked. Speaking of which, Emma Thompson is also quite elegant. If she wasn't married and a little older, maybe... He suddenly raised his eyebrows, and then rubbed his fingers, although Almost a month has passed, and even though I was still wearing long gloves at the time, that feeling is still very memorable. Adrian suddenly laughed. Greedy? Sure, being greedy is good—well, being greedy in moderation is good. Sex is the driving force for the development of this world. If a person dare not even face his own desire, how can he be qualified to say that he will succeed?

After walking outside and turning around, Adrian was about to go back, when he looked up, he couldn't help but chuckled. Then he entered the house to the second floor and followed the corridor to the end.

"Is the evening breeze pleasant, Kate?" he said with a smile, looking at the figure on the balcony.

"Of course, at least it's much more comfortable than during the day." Kate turned around and said lightly with the hair brushing her ears.

Adrian's eyes lit up. Although she had changed her costume, the classical temperament she had when she entered the play still remained on her body, so it looked like a new taste under the dim light of the corridor at the moment. .

"Still angry or unwilling?" Adrian walked to her side and put his arms around her waist.

"A little bit, after Emma talked with me, I probably understand your intentions." Kate raised her hand as if trying to circle his neck, but it hung down halfway.

"Emma? Which Emma?" Adrian asked deliberately.

"You know what I'm talking about." Kate showed an annoyed look, and immediately raised her fist and wanted to hit his chest, but she hesitated for a few seconds and put her hand down.

Adrian couldn't help laughing out loud, his big shaking of his head looked a bit in need of a beating, Kate couldn't help but raised his lowered hand again. However, this time, she was hugged into his arms by the other party before she could swing out, and then sealed her mouth.

After whining a few times, she could only lean her body up slightly and let Adrian wreak havoc in her mouth.

"What should I say about you, Kate?" Adrian held her face and said teasingly, "Don't you think that if there is no intimacy between us, they won't know that you are my girlfriend?"

"No, I just..." Kate pouted and waved her hands to explain.

"Okay, Kate, there are countless directors who let their lovers play roles in the movies they directed." Adrian squeezed her chin and suddenly lowered his voice, "Or do you think you should play the heroine?"

As soon as the words fell, there was a soft sound under his ribs, and Adrian immediately bent down with his teeth grinning. Kate, who was displeased, shook her hands and hummed softly at first, but after a few tens of seconds, she couldn't help but hastily supported Adrian, who was bent over and didn't get up.

"Are you all right, Ed?" Kate asked nervously, "I didn't mean to."

"I know you didn't mean it." Adrian smiled and hugged her suddenly.

Kate was startled at first, then her face darkened, and Adrian immediately said, "But it still hurts."

Curling her lips, Kate sighed: "Do you want me to apologize to you?"

"Of course," Adrian pinched her waist, "how about we find a room and apologize slowly."

Kate, who was hugged and condescendingly looked at him, couldn't help laughing. Just as she was about to agree, her eyes were suddenly attracted by something. Two or three seconds later, she patted Adrian's shoulder helplessly: "Put me down, Obviously, I will be hated for a long time again."

"Huh?" Adrian was a little puzzled, but he understood immediately after turning his head. In the corridor not far from the balcony, Emma was looking at him and Kate angrily, staring fiercely, with a look of grievance and resentment, and seemed very, very unhappy. Might have run over. And Thompson, who was holding her hand, stood aside with some embarrassment, and shrugged with a wry smile after Adrian looked over.

Restless brat. Adrian sighed softly in his heart, and had to put Kate down in his arms.
