King of Hollywood

Chapter 143 Collective Loss of Voice

At the end of "Eyes Wide Shut", there was silence in the screening hall, and it took a long time before there was sparse applause. You must know that this is a very rude thing. If a film for critics does not get applause after the end, There's only one thing to say: this movie is so bad, so bad that you don't want to applaud.

Of course, it’s not because the movie is bad that there’s no applause here. In fact, after a few minutes, people realized that the applause was not enthusiastic, but it was much stronger than at the beginning. The reason why this happens is because the things shown in the movie are too bold. Whether it is Nicole's scene or the bodies of several women before and after, they are all within the acceptable range, but the religious scene in the middle The party was just too bold and shocking.

This sense of shock does not mean that what the movie wants to express makes them feel deeply, but that such a large-scale sex scene is almost the first time in the history of Hollywood movies, except for those movies. Don't look at what they said in the movie reviews, but when I saw these things for the first time—especially in a formal occasion—all the feelings I felt Forcibly abandoning the young Zhou royal family will kill the throne of the gods and gods in the night, begging the demons and proud of the world, the strongest abandoned young Zhou, the royal family will use martial arts to move the universe, will kill the gods and seal the throne at night, begging the demons, proud of the world and the ninth heavens, the most abandoned young Zhou royal family will make gods Killing the Gods at Night, Sealing the Throne, Begging the Devil, Overlording the World, Nine Heavens, the Strongest Abandoned Younger, The Great Zhou Royal Family is all born of emotion and not reason

But Adrian didn't care about this. He talked to Clarkson just after the movie ended, and left with Charlize. As for Cruz, Nicole went back early in the middle, and didn't even say hello to her husband. Angry" Shi also shrugged indifferently, it seems that with the advancement of "Eyes Wide Shut", some things have also advanced.

Soon he returned to his new villa in Beverly Hills. Adrian would not break his promise when he said he would buy a new villa. Ua spent several weeks carefully collecting information and listening to a lot of opinions. A mansion worth about 10,000 yuan and covering an area of ​​almost 1.5 acres was bought. The main building is not big, probably just a room, but buildings such as garages, gyms, exercise rooms, tennis courts, swimming pools, and home cinemas are dotted around. In addition, there are large lawns, bushes, and groves. Even in winter, it is still lush and pleasing to the eye at a glance.

After buying it, Adrian spent several months on the decoration. It doesn’t need to be too extravagant, but it must have a sense of fashion. At the same time, it is divided into several areas, with various styles, and must be well transitioned and integrated. , Just this design drawing cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. Then it was idle for a while, and after Mrs. Galen got familiar with the environment of the villa with a few newly hired female servants, Adrian recently moved into it.

"Welcome back." Nakama Yukie, who had been waiting at the mouth early, bowed deeply, then took the coat in Adrian's hand, and carefully held it in his hand.

"Thank you," Adrian nodded with a smile. "How are you doing recently? This is your first role."

"Take care, everything is going well." It has been almost a year, and Yuki Hui has always maintained her submissive attitude. Charlize is used to seeing her like this, but those new maids are inevitable cast curious god

Adrian glanced around, Mrs. Galen had already gone home at this time, he didn't say much, motioned for Yuki Hui to follow him, said good night to Charlize, and went upstairs.

"This role is specially customized for you by someone. Since you have passed the audition, you must do it and don't let me down." Adrian said after returning to the bedroom.

"Please rest assured, I will definitely do my best." Yukie immediately bowed once again.

In fact, she is still very lively here, and she also likes to play video games. There are various game consoles in her room, and she has already played and cleared "Resident Evil" and "Tomb Raider" on the computer. But in front of Adrian, he has always looked obedient and clever. Adrian has no intention of changing her mind for the time being, isn't it true for all Japanese?

However, Yukie is still quite hardworking in her studies. After coming to Los Angeles, she has to learn everything from scratch. Not only did she practice her spoken English in the shortest possible time, she also made a few good friends at school. She made rapid progress, and worked even harder after she failed the audition last time. Adrian saw all of this. After getting a relatively objective and good evaluation from the school, he immediately asked people to be included in the script of "Friends" arranged a corner for her

The original "Friends" has ten seasons, each season has about 23 episodes. Even if the last season is halved, it will still be an episode. Even if Adrian can recall all of them, he doesn't have time to write them all, so basically A is responsible for the company's screenwriters. . As long as you grasp the core content, about all aspects of American life and the sincere feelings between several characters, and pay attention to the audience's feedback, it will not be a problem to maintain the popular ratings, not to mention that Adrian will provide some original classics from time to time. Duan Zi, even though the ratings have fluctuated slightly after 4 seasons, it is still one of the popular dramas.

Therefore, it is not very difficult to modify the script, so Joey will have a Japanese-born girl in the next few episodes. The screenwriters put a lot of effort into the plot. At least Adrian didn't think it was good after watching it, but whether it will be popular depends on the audience's reaction. Of course, jokes about the Japanese are indispensable.

"It's okay, I can understand this kind of American style...it seems that everything can be used as a joke." Yukie sees this very openly. You must know that Americans are very opposed to racial discrimination, but they don't always The discrimination expressed in the mouth is everywhere. Although Yukie has a few friends with different skins, she also feels that the martial arts, the holy king, the holy king, the night kills the gods, the gods, the throne, the demon, the world, the ninth heaven, the strongest abandoned child The King of the Great Zhou Dynasty will kill the gods and seal the throne at night, begging the demons and the world, the strongest abandoned young master, the royal family of the Zhou Dynasty will use martial arts to move the universe, will kill the gods at night, and the gods will seal the throne. The Throne of the God Seal, Begging the Devil, Ao Shi, Nine Heavens, the Strongest Abandoned Young Master, and the Da Zhou Royal Family had experienced such discrimination, but she seldom took it to heart, so naturally she would not have any objection to the content of the script.

"Very well, let's talk about your understanding of this character." Adrian nodded and continued.

"The word you used is very appropriate," Yukie laughed suddenly, "the Japanese pronunciation is 'naturally dumb', which is really very vivid."

Adrian was not an otaku in his previous life. His understanding of this word is the same as that of most people. It is equivalent to a slow reaction. It takes a long time to react to things, or the understanding of some common sense things is different from that of ordinary people. . Joey in "Friends" is such a person. For example, he always thought that it was normal for a tailor to pinch his crotch when he measured his uǐ, but he knew that Ross and Chandler looked at him like a monster. Then I panicked and asked, "Isn't that so?"

The character prepared for Yukie is similar to Joey. It is conceivable what kind of jokes will be produced when the two are naturally together. Adrian did this to try to dilute the effect of different skin è faces on the audience. possible discomfort.

"Then that's it." After a few words of praise to Yukie, Adrian stood up immediately, and the girl who had misunderstood knelt down immediately and reached out to untie his belt.

"No, no, Yukie, you don't need to be convinced today. Adrian grabbed her face with a smile and squeezed it gently.

Yukie didn't insist either, and immediately bowed to the ground: "Then I'll take my leave."

Watching the girl exit the room, Adrian took a shower, changed into pajamas, checked the time, and then left the bedroom. After a few steps, he came to the room at the end of the corridor and turned the handle without knocking. Very good, Not locked.

"I really don't understand why a person like you who enters other people's bedrooms without knocking is called a gentleman." Charlize, who was sitting with her head reading a book, frowned immediately

"What if you knock it but you lock it?" Adrian spread his hands innocently.

"Don't tell me, you don't have a spare key." Charlize knew she had fallen into a trap as soon as she snorted, and then changed the subject, "What's the matter?"

"It's nothing, I just want to come and see you." Adrian shrugged with a smile, walked over and sat down, "What are you reading? "Management"? It's a good book."

"Okay, you've seen it now, can you leave? I'm very sleepy." Charlize put down the book in her hand and said unceremoniously, "If you have physical needs, you can ask your little servant girl to solve them."

"Little servant girl? Well, this title is very good, I like it." Adrian thought seriously.

"Ed" Charlize couldn't help rolling his eyes.

"Well, Yukie has an important role recently and I can't disturb her." Adrian spread his hands again.

"Then you can still make a lot of phone calls, even if they are not available now, at least you can find someone's wife since you can have sex with her in front of the camera during filming, since you can be in the movie box Fucking her in front of so many people, since you can find an excuse to have a flirty moment with her in the bathroom, it's no big deal to call her and ask her to come out and let you have fun." Charlize suddenly raised her voice, and she was so preoccupied. , The angry look is really interesting and meaningful.

"That can't be done. You know, when she was in the bathroom before, she beat and scolded, as if she wanted to kill me. Of course, in the end, I pressed her on the sink and let me rape her obediently, and she gradually became catering to her." , that taste is quite sexy." Adrian rubbed his chin and seemed to have an aftertaste.

"Yeah, you are always so good at playing with women in your hands, aren't you? Actually, you should be more daring, such as letting Nicole reach high in the box in front of Cruise. Wouldn't it be better? Have a pleasure?" Charlize said sarcastically, her anger became more intense, and she jumped off and walked to the bathroom.

But within two steps, Adrian pulled him into his arms.

"Let me go!" Charlize struggled angrily, but Adrian's words made her stop: "Why are you angry, jealous and dissatisfied, Charlie?"

"...I didn't." After several seconds of silence, Charlize said with a little confidence.

"Really?" Adrian took a bite on her small earlobe, "Don't lie to me, Charlie, I know you are very unhappy, although you keep acquiescing, but you don't like me coming, why? The other party is still a married man and I am so unscrupulous, as if I am very infatuated, if something goes wrong, it may become very bad. Besides...hehe..."

Even though she didn't say it all later, Charlize's face was still slightly red, which was a rare expression.

"I hate this about you the most..." She whispered after a while, "It seems like everything...but I still can't see through it..."

"You know, Charlie, I'm very happy," Adrian didn't care about this sentence, and continued on his own, "Because you are worried about me, because you care about me."

Charlize moved her mouth as if to say something, but finally remained silent.

"Nicole Kidman is not a simple woman, I know it well, so you don't have to worry so much." Adrian continued to pluck her silk, "I know why I didn't explain to you, why I took you to participate Screening? Because I want to tell you, Charlie, that you are special."

The girl in his arms snorted softly, but still did not speak, Adrian laughed again: "Yes, as I said before, every woman is different, and it is this difference that attracts me , making me want to take them as my own, but there are only three or four who have a special place in my heart."

Speaking of which, he took another sip on the back of her neck: "I told you, Charlie, I want to build my media empire in Hollywood, and I'm halfway done now. I know why I agreed to hire Are you? Yes, I don’t deny it, I’m a bit greedy for your beauty but there’s one more thing, and the most important thing, I know you will be the best witness, you will be by my side, witnessing the progress of my empire rise"

Adrian reached into his pajamas and stroked the inside of her uǐ: "So, don't think so much, now you are not just a witness, you are also participating in it, your talent is being It is obvious that my judgment is not wrong, only you are suitable to be by my side and watch this goal gradually become a reality with me, the feeling of satisfaction cannot be replaced.”

Under his big hands, Charlize's expression has become a little blurred, but her mind is still clear.

"You're always like this. While you're talking nicely...but at the same time you use various methods to obstruct your thoughts...so that people can't make a correct judgment..." She said intermittently with a little panting.

"Because I don't want to and I won't let you go, Charlie." Adrian blocked her red lips involuntarily.

"It's disgusting..." Charlize muttered vaguely, but she didn't resist anymore, and some disturbing voices soon rang out in the room.

Not to mention how Adrian can further write his beautiful secretary assistant in the palm of his hand, and press it to conquer. With the release of "Eyes Wide Shut", the topic of long-standing dispute should come to an end. Surprisingly, the critics, who should have been more lively, lost their voices collectively.

Whether it is the person who thought that Adrian could produce è works even if he couldn't make Kubrick-style movies, or the person who thought that Adrian was too arrogant to reach Kubrick's level at all, I don't even know what to write, only some diehard Kubrick fans continue to abuse on the Internet.

After all, the Kubrick style of this movie is too strong. Li Yanqiao's sub-shots, the musical instruments used for the soundtrack are very well-known, and the slow and lengthy rhythm, etc., every place is so Kubrick gram. Especially when the actor Tom Cruise went to rent a dress, the store that provided the service was very similar to the weird store at the beginning of "Strip Orange", but it seems that Adrian copied it directly from the throne of God And something is not appropriate, after all, some places can still see the difference, so the critics began to become distressed.

Nobody knows what Eyes Wide Shut would have been like if Kubrick had directed and produced it, and now that Adrian is directing, at least superficially, Kubrick, what is there to say about it? ? For those professional critics who can be invited to participate in various film screenings, no matter what opinions they hold, they must be accurate enough, otherwise what they write will only be ridiculed, which requires a sufficient understanding of the film.

But the problem now is that the key point of the debate was whether Adrian can direct a Kubrick-style movie. Now that "Eyes Wide Shut" is released, they can't make a judgment based on this. It's really weird matter. So many people had no choice but to go to the cinema to watch it again, which objectively increased the movie's box office a little.

Of course, the newspapers were not completely silent the next day, at least there was an article full of criticism in the "New York Times". It is a pity that what the other party criticized was not the structure of the film and Adrian's directing skills, but The grading of paa was questioned.

"In the middle of the movie screening, the plot story about the marriage crisis suddenly changed into a thriller movie, because A entered a party halfway through, it was a surprising party, they were so calm and peaceful It's so absurd, doing obscene things with solemn expressions, as if some kind of ceremony is being held. Well, that's not the point, the point is that no movie has ever shown so much and clearly as "Eyes Wide Shut" Although the important parts below are covered by the lens, those movements are extremely clear.

Adrian showed these unreservedly on the screen. Perhaps we should not blame the director for this, but according to the regulations, this is at least a -17-rated movie, but the movie's label is R-rated, which means that if there are parents Accompanied, even children of a certain age can enter the movie to watch. I can't imagine how I will answer and explain when my child asks me what this plot means. I know that there is a lot of room for paa to fluctuate up and down when it is rated, but it is obviously too big now. I don’t know if this is because of the pressure from Warner, but I believe many people will agree that this rating is wrong”fa.
