King of Hollywood

Although Dennis lost some fans because of this movie-some cult movie fans think that he went to the romantic comedy as a betrayal-but he gained more fans at the same time.

"I never thought he would be so sexy and handsome. This is completely different from the cynicism in "Two Smoking Barrels" and the decadent temperament in "Memory Fragments". He is very charming and reminiscent." A young female fan said so.

Basically, a considerable part of the fans Dennis gained in this movie are young women like this. If he continues to maintain it, maybe he will become a popular lover like Tom Cruise. The reason why this happens is that apart from the really good acting skills and the very attractive characters, the huge contrast with the previous images is also one of the reasons. The attraction caused by the contrast is sometimes is very strong.

This is why Adrian insisted on having Dennis appear in "Four Weddings and a Funeral". The actors more or less have their own fixed framework, but some people have a very large framework and can play many different types. Characters, such as Pacino or De Niro; some people have a small frame and a narrow range of choices, such as Cruise.

Some things are innate, such as appearance and the temperament extended from it, no matter how hard one tries, it may not be changed. Can you imagine handsome Tom Cruise in a shitty comedy? Can you imagine Bruce Willis, who looks like a tough guy, acting in a sad and wan drama? Even old actors like Pacino and De Niro still have their own dead ends, let alone others? It's just a compliment to say that he can play any role.

But in any case, actors with a broad play path will always have a much longer career vitality than those with a narrow career path. As I said before, the reason why Adrian decided to support Dennis was not only the interesting encounter at the beginning, but also because of his strong plasticity. To put it simply, Dennis is now a piece of plasticine, as long as he wants to, he can squeeze himself into any image. However, Dennis is not too soft now, if he maintains a certain image for a long time, he will be stereotyped, so Adrian arranged this rom-com for him after a few cult movies, and as for the result, it doesn't take much said.

In short, "Four Weddings and a Funeral", which was released at the end of the summer vacation, became the most popular movie in early September. Romantic comedies were very popular movie types throughout the 1990s. One of the performances is also talked about, although there are always a few harsh critics, but most critics still give it affirmation.

Now that the situation is going well, the company will naturally start more publicity to maintain this momentum, such as arranging the crew to appear on talk shows and the like. Originally, Lavern hoped that Adrian could participate once or twice, but unfortunately he refused.

"How many producers have you seen on a talk show, Laffer? Yes, yes, but how many? If I were a director and I directed this movie, I wouldn't mind, but I'm only a producer, and I'm a frontman." , So forget it." Adrian said this, of course, the reason is more than this, but some things are boring if they are broken.

You must know that tabloids have a very powerful association ability, although the producer in a movie is the most easily overlooked, and "Four Weddings and a Funeral" is very brilliant from the actors to the director to the screenwriter, the producer behind the scenes Naturally, it will not be mentioned. But don't forget, Adrian also has the title of miracle director, and when he was rumored to have an affair with Julia, he also swore that he specially revised the script for her. Granted, the script was written from an outline provided by Adrian, so it's no wonder the tabloids let their imaginations run wild.

"Adrian deliberately revised the script to pursue Julia?"

"'Four Weddings and a Funeral' - a masterpiece from the director of Marvel."

Articles with such titles appeared endlessly in the tabloids, but they also attracted a lot of attention and enriched the conversations of Americans after dinner. So Adrian doesn't want to give them a reason to go on the show. Although it doesn't matter if the public knows it or not, it's a matter of your choice anyway, but it's better to keep a low profile now.

Regardless of these, Adrian focused his energy on other aspects. There are still some parts of the later stage of "This Killer Is Not So Cold", and the production of some of the invested films is nearing completion, and we still need to consider how to arrange the release schedule.

It is impossible to arrange them all on the Thanksgiving-Christmas-New Year's schedule. This schedule is already very intense. In addition to the blockbuster films of various companies to be released, there are also many films that are specially aimed at hitting the Oscars. Several movies are all arranged in this schedule, and I compete with myself for the box office... If it's just one or two, it's okay, but if there are too many, it's too stupid.

In fact, this does not require too much thinking. Although "Delicious Love" and "True Lies" are finished before the end of the year, they are definitely too late in terms of publicity. A movie, unless it starts with a major controversy and gets everyone talking, like last year's Howards End. Otherwise, if there is no sufficient publicity, no matter how good the quality is, it will inevitably be ignored.

In fact, it’s not just movies, isn’t everything like this? In this era of advanced information, the importance of publicity is self-evident. Don’t some directors who want to stand out like to deliberately shoot those taboo films that challenge the bottom line of social acceptance to promote themselves?

Well, it's far away. In short, there is no need to consider releasing these two films this year. The latter invested almost 100 million yuan, and it must be earned back. As for the latter, this is a work specially prepared to open up the situation for Monica, so naturally it can't be perfunctory, even if it can't cause such a big response like "Four Weddings and a Funeral", it still has to achieve a lot of results just work. So it is better to spend more time on publicity.

As for "Interview with the Vampire", the filming will start at the end of June, and this film also needs to be carefully crafted. It is still possible to complete it within this year, but it will be impossible to release it. It is not Adrian, a pervert who is in charge. Guide barrel. Besides, he could have promised to get Kirsten an Oscar nomination at the beginning, if the little girl's spirituality was not fully brought into play because of the rush of production, how could he let people fight for it?

Although "The Killer Is Not So Cold" is about to be completed, it doesn't need to hit the Oscars, so it can be like "Four Weddings and a Funeral" at the end of the New Year's schedule, and Natalie must always make a brilliant appearance .

In fact, all these things are not as important as one reason, that is, the three films scheduled on the schedule are all aimed at hitting the Oscars. Needless to say, "Schindler's List" is the most important film of Bosworth Films this year, and the pre-publicity has already started quietly, so naturally no mistakes are allowed. If the publicity plan goes well, it will hardly be a problem to win the best film, best director, and best adapted screenplay awards.

Then there is Tom Hanks and Denzel Washington starring, Jonathan Demme directing "Philadelphia Story", which is aimed at the best actor. You know, it was this movie that Hanks won the first Best Actor statuette, and then won the second one because of "Forrest Gump". The reason why Adrian recruited Demi to be the producer of "Philadelphia Story" in the first place was to consolidate his status and reputation by giving Hanks the opportunity to be re-elected. The adaptation of Winston Glum's political novel has already started. Adrian is about to write the script himself and act as director and producer, but it is inevitable that he will conflict with Glum who insists on participating in the adaptation work.

As for the third film, of course it is "The Piano Lesson" by New Zealand director Jane Campion. In Adrian's memory, this film is the closest to the best director Oscar for a female director before the truck driver's ex-wife. It's a pity Unfortunately, she met Spielberg and his "Schindler's List".

Adrian has no intention of changing this point. Whether Campion can win the best director has nothing to do with him, as long as the starring Holly Hunter can win the best actress.

Last year, after he used two films to make Pacino and Thompson wait for the throne of actor and actress respectively, the influence he gained was greater than imagined. Think about Julia, who is hard for him to give up , think of Kirsten who took the initiative. This year he intends to keep it up. Of course, he can't work as hard as he did last year. It was too tiring, so he finally chose to send them up as a producer.

Therefore, in the rest of September, he focused on these three films, such as rushing to Australia to attend the celebration party held by Campion.

In the original time and space, Campion’s large-scale film should have been produced in the first half of 1993 and participated in this year’s Cannes Film Festival, and not only allowed Campion to win the Palme d’Or but also Holly Hunter won Best Actress. But now, because of Adrian's appearance, although the film fell into the hands of Bosworth, it was also delayed for several months and missed the Cannes Film Festival.

But it doesn't matter, there are a lot of film festivals. In terms of qualifications, the Venice Film Festival at the end of August and early September is the first film festival in the world. And "The Piano Lesson" unsurprisingly defeated "Blue Love" to win the Golden Lion Award, and Holly Hunter also killed Juliette Binoche and won the Best Actress at the Venice Film Festival. Surprisingly, leading actor Harvey Keitel also won Best Actor.

Obviously, compared to the Cannes Film Festival with diverse styles, "The Piano Lesson" is more at ease at the Venice Film Festival, known as the paradise of low-budget independent films. It is no wonder that Campion, who is back in Australia, will hold a party to celebrate . ()
