King of Hollywood

Coming out of the bright room, Margarita and Helen bid farewell to the ladies they met in the salon and started their journey home. Although it was a bit late, the cylindrical street lamps hanging on both sides of the street exuded a faint and soft light, and there were also people standing in twos and threes on the street who were talking with each other from other parties, and there were faintly still people in the surrounding houses. The music came out, making all this look quite beautiful.

"Hi, Miss Margaret, nice to meet you here." A familiar voice came from behind, the two sisters stopped talking and looked back in unison, followed by expressions of surprise, they did not expect to be here Here met Mr. Henry Wilcox.

After a pleasant exchange of words, Helen mentioned the bright and sensitive young man she knew, and Margaret thought that Henry might be of help to him.

"I suggest that he leave that company as soon as possible," Henry said after learning about the company where the young man worked. "Please don't tell others that the company is underfunded and will be acquired before Christmas, so he better Find another job as soon as possible.”

"C" Adrian, who was looking at the monitor, suddenly shouted. He frowned and pondered for a while, then waved to Hopkins, who then walked over.

"Anthony, don't you think your tone is a bit casual?" Adrian said, blaming the rewinding picture on the monitor, "We discussed before that although Henry is a hypocritical and class-heavy character, but He is not a particularly bad person. And now he is planning to pursue Margaret, so he should show his bearing appropriately when speaking."

After thinking for a while, Hopkins shook his head: "No, no, no, Ed, I don't think this is very appropriate. As I said before, Henry is a hypocritical person who attaches great importance to class, although Margot Lite and the others thought Leonard was a smart young man, but in his eyes, poor people were the only definition of this young man, so this slightly contemptuous and casual tone should be in line with his mentality at the time. As for Ma Gretel's feeling was just touched at that time, so there is no need to pay too much attention to it."

"Well, I agree with the first half of the statement," Adrian said, suddenly looked at Hopkins and laughed, "As for the latter sentence—do you need me to read the original novel to you?"

Hopkins couldn't help being stunned, and laughed along with him, shook his head before saying: "Why don't you do this."

After finishing his clothes, he snorted softly and said in a casual yet elegant tone: "Please don't tell others that the company is short of funds and will be acquired before Christmas, so he'd better find another job as soon as possible." At once."

After he paused for a few seconds, he repeated it again, but this time his tone was a little more casual. Adrian raised his eyebrows, and then gave him a thumbs up: "It really deserves to be the best actor in the Oscar."

At this moment, a dazzling light suddenly flashed nearby, followed by another click. The staff of the film crew quickly walked over and invited the reporter hiding there out, but the other party smiled and left without saying anything.

"These guys are really everywhere." Adrian sighed after seeing that guy disappear, "Guess what tomorrow's newspaper will say, is it the American kid who scolded the new movie star? Or Professor Hannibal reprimanded' Wizards' director?"

"Why didn't the director and the male lead have an argument that made it impossible to shoot?" Hopkins said humorously.

"Ha, it's really you, Anthony, I think "The Sun" should ask you to be the editor-in-chief." Adrian laughed, and then patted Hopkins' arm: "I haven't thanked you for speaking for me yet Woolen cloth."

"I'm just stating the truth, unless you don't think it's true." Hopkins shrugged.

Because the location shooting during this period was all within the urban area of ​​London, it was much easier for reporters to collect information than when they were in the manor. And because of the scattered shots, the two protagonists had more time to rest, and those guys seized the opportunity to ask them a lot more.

Hopkins is often asked by reporters why he wants to cooperate with Adrian. Originally, he just talked about it in general, but a certain reporter asked him one day to speak for Adrian. Is it because there is already a countermeasure after the movie fails. So Hopkins bluntly stated that it is very unreasonable to deny the director at will before the film is produced. He fully believes that Adrian has the ability to make this film well.

It is conceivable that as a British and newly promoted Oscar actor, he publicly expressed his support for Adrian, who is being criticized by the media, and it will cause a great sensation.

"Obviously, Anthony is a little confused. He thinks that as long as he works with a director for a few weeks, he can know whether the other party is capable of directing a film that is completely different from his own style. Well, maybe I don't have as much acting experience as him, I I can't understand why he can make such a judgment, but at least I won't be so sure. Maybe he is a little too self-righteous? Who knows?" Some British newspapers said with sarcasm and doubts.

Of course, there are also some people who are booing: "Well, maybe he is right, but what is worrying is, will Anthony take Professor Hannibal's feeling into it? Or has he already brought it in?"

In short, the British media did not change Adrian's new movie much because of his remarks, but the American media, which has always been indifferent, seized the opportunity to defend the wizard director.

"Any movie should not draw conclusions arbitrarily before the production is completed. Yes, Adrian's previous style is too different from this novel, but it does not mean that he will definitely fail. Except God, there is no one. One can be 100% sure that something will happen." Haggis Painter, who had done an exclusive interview for Adrian, wrote in an article.

It's just that it's hard to say how effective such an excuse will be. After all, the saying "you can't draw conclusions arbitrarily before the production is completed" is also applicable to many bad movies. To be honest, many American reporters have complained enough about Adrian in their stomachs: Even if the style of the novel is a little similar to your previous movies, it won’t make us feel speechless.

Well, the topic returned to the shooting scene. Adrian didn't say anything more on this topic, but just patted Hopkins' arm again: "Okay, let's continue."

In fact, he knew very well in his heart that Hopkins would stand by him not just as he said, but what the other party said was not a lie. If he was not optimistic about himself, he would definitely not express his attitude like this, let alone when In front of so many reporters, you must know that Emma Thompson is optimistic about herself, but she never said that in front of reporters.

That being the case, Adrian also knew what he should do in the future.

"By the way, you haven't said which one is suitable." Hopkins reminded.

"The second one." Adrian made a decision after thinking about it.

After returning to the center of the set with him, talking to Thompson and Kate, and telling Kate to control her emotions, Adrian waved his hand to continue filming.

Basically, there were no major problems this time. After repeated shooting three times, the scene here is considered complete. On the second day, the crew moved to the City of London for location shooting. The Baltic Exchange was originally chosen to shoot the role of Leonard, but there was an explosion attack on the exchange more than two months ago, so they finally switched to a bank.

After so many days and so many things happened, the British employees interviewed by the crew thought that Adrian should be given time, and with Hopkins' statement, the popularity of "Howards End" in the British media finally came to an end. Although reduced.

Even so, there are still people who relentlessly criticize it, and there is an attitude that Adrian will continue to "spoil" the novel if he does not stop. For this reason, they also brought up the fourth movie that Adrian took the initiative to "refrigerate" before, to prove that he does not know literary drama movies at all.

"I hope that everyone will comment after the movie is released, at least it will be a little fairer." Finally, Adrian gave a brief response through the spokesperson.

After this response came out, most of the British media couldn't help restraining themselves a little. Although everyone knows that justice is a cover, and no one can truly speak impartially, there is still work to be done on the surface.

"I'm suddenly looking forward to the situation after the film is finished," Thompson said to Adrian during the film break. "Who will win between you and the media is really very curious."

"So no one thinks that I will definitely win?" Adrian asked jokingly.

"You have to understand, Ed, there is always uncertainty in this kind of thing." Hopkins said next to him, "Of course, I always think that you have the best chance of winning."

"How big is it?" Adrian showed a curious look.

"At least 60% or more." Hopkins laughed.

"I also agree. When you came to invite me, Mike Newell also wanted me to act as the heroine in his new movie, but after much consideration, I agreed to you." Thompson shrugged.

"Ha, it seems that I am really lucky. If you are a little late, maybe you will be snatched away." Adrian said in an exaggerated tone, following his heart: "By the way, you just said... Mike? Will?"

"Yes, what's the matter?" Thompson looked at him puzzled.

"If I remember correctly, he seems to be with Anthony..." Adrian turned his gaze to Hopkins.

"Yes, we worked together on the movie "Good Father" a few years ago." Hopkins nodded.

"That's it..." Adrian rubbed his chin, with an inexplicable look in his eyes, "So, is it possible to invite him to meet me? I just have an idea that I need a British director like him."
