King of Hollywood

Chapter 130 Action Director

Although there is still a week before the crew of "Killing Hour" will officially start, there is no mandatory time for Kate to report for duty, so she still has a lot of time to prepare, such as how to arrange for her daughter. It is definitely not suitable for Lily to follow the set all day, but at the same time it is impossible to stay by Adrian's side all day, so how to arrange time becomes very important.

Fortunately, the little guy is not unfamiliar with the nanny, and Charlize will visit Kate’s house from time to time, and she is also very popular with the little guy. Basically, there is no need to worry too much, so Kate can devote herself to the shooting go.

Counting the time, she hasn't been in front of the public for more than a year, plus the previous few works are not very eye-catching, even if the box office of "Tornado" is high enough, time has passed too Long, still will be forgotten. But it doesn't matter, with Adrian here, and the media group in his hands has initially taken shape, it is not difficult to make Kate stand out again.

Besides, Adrian also prepared a lot of movies for her. Originally, he planned to arrange a more interesting role for her, but after thinking about it carefully, the same kind of role seems a bit too much for Kate. Needless to say, "Tomb Raider" has already made her appearance into a game character. If it is made into a movie in the future, the female protagonist must be her. Let's talk about that... huh...

As for her "once" indifferent image, Adrian has also made arrangements. In order to prevent copyright issues, she is looking for someone to adapt it into a novel like "Tomb Raider" and "The Matrix". So even though I really wanted to know what eye-catching performance Kate would have in playing that role, I finally gave up.

But in this way, the matter of choosing a role for this movie becomes a little troublesome. After Kate, Adrian is thinking about Sarah. It happens that Sarah has practiced Taekwondo, although it is basically ua boxing embroidery uǐ, But the toughness and softness of the body are quite good, and Adrian has a deep understanding of this. But Sarah was a little too pretty, and a little too young, for a particularly good fit.

However, apart from Kate and Sarah, there seems to be no more suitable candidates, at least among his wives, Liv is relatively more suitable, but... she should go to the promising career of ua bottle. After thinking for a long time, Adrian finally decided to let Monica play the female lead role. Her facial features are not particularly exquisite but quite charming, and she can fully show her figure. As for the disadvantage of age, the makeup artist does not care It's going to be a disappointment, and it's very interesting to think about what she "was" imagining in this movie.

"Some horror and scary stories, but very imaginative at the same time." Monica, who had finished reading the novel in the study, pushed away from the bedroom, and was startled by the sound of um, ah, and ah that filled the room.

"Why do you still like to watch this?" Looking at the intense and ferocious scenes on the TV screen, Monica said half-jokingly, "You don't want me to do that, do you?"

On these topics, she never shied away from anything, and was even bolder than Adrian sometimes.

"How come? I can't bear it." Adrian shrugged with a smile, picked up the remote control and pressed the stop button, and the picture of "two kings and one queen" disappeared immediately.

Then, he picked up the cover of the video tape and shook it: "I was just curious and wanted to watch it. You know, although they didn't say it clearly in the promotion before, they also hinted at a lot. There should be many people like me in Hollywood. .”

"It turned out to be her..." Looking at the young woman full of depravity and wildness on the cover, Monica said suddenly.

That's right, that wild and unruly daughter of Joey Walter, who has become the hottest new star in the film industry since she entered the industry, and has also won an Oscar in Las Vegas, and received a lot of praise. Followed by few people. Of course, Old Walter definitely wouldn't take this as an honor, and he severed ties with this daughter who made himself a joke in Hollywood early in the newspaper, and accused her of embarrassing the family.

However, his daughter is not a fuel-efficient lamp. She also broke the news in the newspaper to fight back against her divorced parents, and also revealed that she robbed her mother's boyfriend. Moreover, all kinds of movies are received, the ua are so many, and the scale is so large that it makes people speechless. Retaliating in this way is very in line with her personality.

It has to be admitted that this method is very effective, at least the old Walter is in a semi-retired state in Hollywood, and her mother has not even been out for a long time, and she does not attend the various parties that she was passionate about before. However, it was difficult for her to turn over because of this, so she could only continue on this road. Sometimes fate is so impermanent, just a small change, a person's life may become completely different.

Adrian knew that this change was caused by his appearance. Although he didn't know where it caused the change, he didn't intend to make compensation. Although opportunities determine the future, personality also affects choices. In Adrian's memory, she was not much better than a movie actress in various ways in the age, and it didn't make him feel too much to be on this road. surprise.

If it was at the very beginning, maybe Adrian would still be interested in grabbing her and training her, but forget it now, it’s more interesting to watch her films.

Of course, these things will not be discussed now, and Adrian quickly changed the subject: "So it's all right?"

"Of course, I haven't cooperated with you for a long time." Monica automatically sat in his arms and said with a smile around his neck.

"But you have to be prepared to endure hardships, Monica," Adrian patted her crotch lightly, "you have to train for at least three months first."

"Training?" Monica was puzzled, what was the training? "

"Hmm... have you seen Hong Kong kung fu movies, Monica?" Adrian asked after thinking for a while, and continued after getting a negative answer: "Then let me recommend a few movies for you first, You can take a look at the time, I need you to fight with others like this in the movie, but if you want to do this kind of action, you can’t do it without training, so I will specially invite a few professionals from Hong Kong to be in charge Action instructor, don't call it hard work then."

Not to mention Monica's surprised look after watching those recommended kung fu movies, Adrian soon welcomed Yuan Heping, an action director from Hong Kong, in late July. he.

"I heard from John Wu that you are the best action director in Hong Kong, isn't it?" In the vacated conference room, Adrian asked with great interest looking at the skinny old man in front of him.

After hearing what the translator said, the other party immediately smiled, patted his mouth and said a lot, and everyone loves to hear nice words. But he spoke Cantonese, and Adrian could barely guess the meaning of a few of them. With the experience he had with Wu Baige last time, he has no interest in "showing off" Chinese.

"Mr. Yuan said that although he can't guarantee that he is the best action director, he must be the most experienced action director." The translator said afterwards.

This is the difference between Americans and Chinese. If you are an American, you will definitely climb up the pole, declaring that you are absolutely the best, while Chinese people always like to be humble and praise themselves from another angle.

Adrian didn't say much, just nodded: "I think so, I have also watched a lot of Hong Kong Kung Fu movies, and I often see Mr. Yuan's name appearing in the staff list."

A hint of surprise flashed in Yuan Heping's eyes when he heard the translator's words. He is not an idiot. Even if Hong Kong movies are passed on and everyone's name is accompanied by English subtitles, no one will know his English name. Then the other party should obviously know from the Chinese subtitles what he said. Does this "ghost" have such a good Chinese level?

"If it's possible, can Mr. Yuan let someone show it? I don't want to offend anything, I just want to know if kung fu can express what the movie wants to express." Adrian didn't know that he was thinking What, even if I knew it, I wouldn't care, so I quickly continued talking, but my words were full of politeness.

Obviously, this kind of eloquence greatly benefited old man Yuan. He immediately nodded with a smile on his face, gestured to the two apprentices he had brought, and then asked someone to vacate the venue through an interpreter. The two apprentices are almost in their early years. In the metric system, they are about 1.75 meters tall, and they look very strong.

The two walked to the middle of the venue and took a stance, paused for a few seconds to adjust their breathing, and then began to clasp their hands. Probably because the venue was relatively small, the two of them didn't make any big moves, basically it was just skill with their hands, probably something like grabbing hands, and Adrian was not particularly clear about this.

I have to say that the two young men really played very well, and their vivacious appearance was very enjoyable, but the strength was a little bit weak. Adrian, who would fight with Claude or the fighting coach from time to time, still had this vision. Yes - of course, maybe because it's a show of kung fu, they all have reservations, who knows?

Even so, none of the people in charge around him were surprised, including Charlize. Although the action scenes of American movies are powerful, they are relatively simple and far from good-looking. Hong Kong movies have some markets in the United States, but not everyone will watch them.

"Very good," Adrian clapped his hands after the old man Yuan made a gesture of invitation after the two young men finished their demonstration, "I think I can make a decision, Mr. Yuan."

He looked at Yuan Heping with a smile: "However, there is a change from the original proposal, and all the previous proposals are now invalid. I now officially invite you to be the action director of the two films." Fa.
