King of Hollywood

Chapter 156 Discussion on the prequels of Star Wars

"My opinion is, move this scene forward a little bit, preferably to the first part - hear me out, George? Very well, let's continue, the whole prequel trilogy is mainly about, Anakin How did Skywalker get killed by Qui-Gon? And how did Gold Digger fall to the dark side of the Force, right?" In George Lucas's conference room, in front of the heads of the Star Wars prequels and The screenwriter, Adrian, said, "As far as the whole concept is concerned, Anakin was terrified after seeing his mother murdered, and after violating the rules of the Jedi Knights for revenge, he was afraid that his wife Padmé Amidala would also Stepping into the footsteps, so he wanted to find a way to do it once and for all, so he sank into the dark side of the force, and then became Darth Vader under Palpatine's *, which is basically self-consistent. But the problem is , Can the process of midway change convince the audience?"

Speaking of which, he glanced at the people in the conference room, then picked up the marker pen and wrote down the names of Anakin and his wife on the clipboard, and then wrote a few words with an arrow: "First, we What is certain is that Anakin had a strong Oedipus complex."

There were a few low laughs in the conference room, Lucas also shrugged, and Adrian continued unmoved: "It would be best for him to fall in love with Amidala who is at least ten years older than him." So, do you think that when his mother dies in his adult arms, is the impact big enough? Enough for Palpatine to move him with a few words?"

He then wrote down the name of the Sith Lord, then shot the arrow at Anakin and put a question mark on it when he shot it back. Several screenwriters were in contemplation for a few minutes before one of them explained: "According to Mr. George's setting, Anakin is a very sensitive person, that's why he has such a good grasp of the Force. You know Even if you are a very strong person, it is not easy to adjust to seeing your dependent mother die in front of your eyes."

"Of course, I'm not questioning the rationality of this setting, I just want to ask how to express it," Adrian smiled and gestured, "I'm not questioning George's directing ability, but if the plot is compressed too much, then Some things will inevitably be discarded when expressed on the screen. Sometimes the audience will not understand the painstaking efforts of the creators. They will only think that just a few words from Palpatine made Anakin rebel, which is very unreasonable. of."

"Then tell me your opinion, Ed." Lucas stopped another screenwriter, and said to Adrian with a smile, "Stop hiding it."

"As you wish, sir." Adrian bowed deliberately and respectfully with his hands behind his back, and his funny appearance immediately aroused several laughs.

"My opinion is very simple, make the whole process more straightforward and intense, and advance the mother's death to the first part. The slave owners or others, such as those who won the car, want revenge for various reasons. So Anakin and his party were attacked. Of course, there were Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan, Anakin and the disguised Amidala were not harmed, but his mother was unfortunately killed and died in front of him , and due to the attack of Sith apprentices, Anakin couldn't even collect his mother's body. In the second part, Anakin often dreamed of the scene of his mother being killed. Those who attacked him killed them all in anger. In this way, it will be more convincing when worrying about Amidala's situation and being Palpatine." Adrian He said it in one breath.

The people present couldn't help showing a thoughtful look again. Indeed, children are like soft clay, and they are quite malleable. The shadows they cast when they were young will often accompany them throughout their lives. It would be more logical to deal with them this way. Persuasive, but also relatively more self-consistent.

"What's more, we can arrange for Amidala to comfort the young Anakin, so that it will be more logical for the two to be together in the future." Adrian added.

This is also a place where you can play. After whispering to each other, several screenwriters discussed with other people in charge, and then looked at George Lucas unanimously. Obviously, they all think Adrian's statement is very reasonable, but they think so alone, Lucas is the boss here.

"This opinion is worth considering." After thinking for a few minutes, Lucas made a final decision, followed him to stand up with a laugh, and patted Adrian on the shoulder vigorously: "As expected of an ace screenwriter, it is indeed correct to ask for your help." s Choice."

"It's just easier to see the problem from the perspective of a bystander." Adrian said modestly, "And finding the problem is the easiest thing. If solving the problem is the most important thing, I'm just making an opinion. How about it? You still need to do it, and if there is a slight mistake, it may be unflattering."

"Really? Why don't you comment on other places? There are many other stories in the prequel trilogy." Lucas said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

"Forget it. This is your work. You are the master of this world. You can set it however you want, as long as it doesn't conflict with each other. If you don't know these settings, you may be in a hurry It would be a joke to change the settings, such as the light saber at the beginning instead of the current light saber." Adrian declined in the same tone.

"Any true Star Wars mí would never confuse the difference between '' (light saber) and '' (jiī lightsaber)." Lucas looked at him pretending to be displeased.

"Of course, I'm just giving an example. I think it's enough for me to participate in this." Adrian still declined his proposal. The previous ones were all based on his memory, and the six "Star Wars" movies Although I have seen it in the previous life, animation and games are also involved, but after all, there is still a layer of separation.

"Well, I won't force you either." Lucas didn't force it either, and waved his hand to let the others leave. "Thank you for your opinion, it's very important, and it gives us more consideration."

"You're welcome, George." Adrian shrugged. "But I want to remind you that the movie's box office will not be a problem. Star Wars fans have waited too long, but word of mouth may not be very good."

"I understand that the higher the expectation, the greater the disappointment," Lucas seemed very free and easy, "I just want to fulfill my wish."

Fulfill your wish? No one would believe this. Star Wars has become a part of American culture. Lucas has already made enough money from this, so why wouldn't he want to make more? But this does not prevent Adrian from boasting a few words, and then after the others have almost left, he pretends to think of something and asks: "By the way, what do you think of that girl?"

"Which one?" Lucas didn't realize it at first, but he understood after a few seconds, "Natalie Terman? She is indeed an outstanding girl. I think she is very good."

"real?"

"Of course, I recruited her to watch all the movies. It's hard to imagine that she can play such a different role at her age. Where did you find it?"

Lucas said with some joy, and he could see that he was very satisfied with Natalie.

"No, she sent it up by herself. When she was filming "This Killer Is Not So Cold", she failed the first audition, and then came to me to recommend herself unconvinced," Adrian explained simply, " Honestly, thanks to me for giving her a second chance, otherwise she would have been missed with a fine actor."

After he paused here, he asked again in a relaxed tone: "So, can I tell her the good news?"

Lucas, who was very happy just now, frowned immediately, and Adrian just looked at him like that without urging, and the smile returned to his face after hesitating for a while.

"No problem, it's her," he said.

With his words, it is basically a success. Everyone knows how valuable the brand of "Star Wars" is. As long as it can play an important role in it, it will be difficult to think about whether it is popular or not. Think about Harrison Ford. And just before accompanying Natalie to audition yesterday, Adrian met an old acquaintance here.

They are not considered acquaintances, it can only be said that they know each other. He still hurt people's heart at the beginning, but as long as person v leaves an impression on him, he will not forget it, so he greeted him early.

"I didn't expect to see you here, Ed." Sophia Cora smiled faintly when she shook hands with him.

"I recommended an actor to George, and I was invited by him to refer to the script." Adrian didn't hide it, and there was a strange look on Sophia's face.

"What about you?" He then asked, "Are you here for the audition too?"

"Yes," Sophia didn't deny it, "but it's not an important character, it's just next to the protagonist V. I just want to...try again."

Adrian didn't speak, sighed after looking at her for a while, and was about to leave after smiling politely. This action immediately angered Sophia, and she immediately asked loudly: "Why, am I that unbearable, Mr. Adrian?"

Fortunately, there was no one in the corridor at that time, otherwise I don't know how many eyes it would attract.

"What was my opinion before, it is still the same now," Adrian turned his head with a good-natured smile, "If you change the direction, you will see the sea and the sky, Sophie, I have never missed anyone, don't forget, you are old Frank v'er."

After speaking, he bowed like a gentleman, and then left here, while Sophia stood there for a long time.

Frankly speaking, if Sophia is competing for the leading role of V, the chances of getting it are still high. Although she was rated as the worst leading role of V by the golden raspberry, the relationship between Francis Cora and Lucas is still very good. close. But even so, Adrian is just as sure, not to mention that because of "Schindler's List", she has a good relationship with Hollywood Jewish groups, Natalie herself also has an advantage.

You know, she was born in Jerusalem, and immigrated to the United States when she was about two years old and lived in New York. Although the United States does not legally stipulate that dual citizenship is allowed, there is no rule that dual citizenship cannot be held, so she is also considered List people with è. What's more, she also has a legendary grandmother who delivered information to the Allied forces during World War II. Terman, a surname that is only used in the entertainment industry, comes from her.

In addition, she is smart and precocious, her acting skills are not bad, and she is very good at judging the situation, so the result will not be as Adrian expected.

What a lovely girl. Coming to the outside of a lounge, Adrian looked inside through the crack. Natalie was sitting quietly on the sofa and reading a book, while her mother, Shelly, was sitting on the other side talking to her agent in a low voice, with her chin resting on one hand and a faint smile on her face, making her She looked very peaceful and beautiful.

The reason why Adrian rejected Kirsten's proposal that day, almost made her aware of it, was because Natalie was going to Los Angeles to audition for "Star Wars". However, with his own means, he not only made the little elf forget about this, but also picked her daisy by the way. The little goblin's body recovered very quickly, and on the third day after the birthday party, she was able to run around like a normal person, although she was crying for a while. It was the same day, I screamed in pain at first, but after I got used to it, I quickly started to cooperate, and I even felt a little reluctant to part after it was over.

It's quite interesting to say that, although Natalie was the first to be hugged among the Lolitas, it was Kirsten who picked the little daisy first, which is quite fair. Of course, it also has something to do with Natalie's relatively conservative attitude, and she refuses to change her position even a little bit, let alone touch her, but that shy appearance is very cute and attractive.

After realizing that his thoughts were too scattered, Adrian immediately restrained his mind. After straightening his clothes, he knocked a few times and walked in.

"Ed?" Natalie immediately put down the book in her hand and looked at him without blinking.

However, after Adrian greeted her mother and agent, she gave her an apologetic smile: "Do you want to know the result?"

"No need," Young V bit his lip, I think I already know the result. "

"Ha, so obvious? It seems that I should walk in with a serious face." Adrian said jokingly.

"It's useless, I can still see it." Natalie puffed up her chest and snorted softly, but she seemed to have something on her mind.

"What's the matter, Nada?" Adrian asked immediately after realizing this.

"What's wrong?" Natalie asked back.

"Really?" Adrian raised his eyebrows, then looked at her mother: "Shelly, if you don't mind, can you give us a few minutes?"

"Of course no problem." Shelly nodded, but she looked at Adrian and V'er curiously.

After they closed the lounge, Natalie gave Adrian an angry look: "You can be bolder."

"I just care about you." Adrian shrugged, then sat down beside her, "Is something wrong?"

"It's nothing, it's just..." Young V sighed, "I just didn't expect the movie you mentioned to be the prequel of "Star Wars""

She couldn't help rolling her eyes when she said this: "God, I haven't even watched the main story trilogy. After receiving your call, I had to rent a video tape and work overtime to watch it, and I also had to sort out some materials... I was really busy a few days ago, if you had told me earlier, I wouldn’t have been so busy.”

"I said, this is a commercial secret..." Adrian met Natalie's contemptuous eyes before he finished speaking.

"Really?" Young V folded his arms and tilted his head to look at him and asked in a lazy tone.

"... Well, I want to give you a surprise." Facing this smart guy, Adrian had no choice but to tell the truth, "Of course, if you have a reason, we can use another word: claiming credit."

Seeing his honest appearance, Natalie giggled immediately, she looked very cute out of joy, and then suddenly moved in front of him and took a sip at the corner of his mouth.

"Hey, some people thought I was a little bold just now." Adrian said in surprise half-truthfully.

"You are you, I am me, what you cannot do, I can do, I can accuse you, but you cannot accuse me." Young V said triumphantly.

"It's a double standard..."

"It's double standards"

"Okay, okay," Adrian could only raise his hands to express his surrender, and then patted Young V on the shoulder: "Don't worry, Nada, you really don't have experience in such big productions, but I believe this Definitely not a big deal for you. George thinks you auditioned well, and I think your Amidala v King will be well received by all. Anyway, don't worry."

Natalie tilted her head again, looked at Adrian for a while, and then sighed a little depressed: "You are always so easy to see through other people's minds."

"It's not that easy. I only made a judgment because I noticed your emotional changes and talked with you for so long." Adrian laughed. "Of course, more importantly, I understand you."

"You're really proud, Ed." Natalie made a face at him, and then changed the subject: "So, this matter is settled? Mom and I can go?"

"Really?" Adrian replied noncommittally.

"Of course," he said with a sly smile, "no one is going to keep me."

"I knew you would say this," Adrian pinched her little nose, "As long as you can get your mother to agree, if you go out alone, I promise to take you around Los Angeles."

"Then it's settled," Natalie agreed without even thinking about it, looking confident.

As expected, she did what she said, and called Adrian the next day, asking him to drive to the hotel where she was staying to pick her up, and boarded the car generously in front of her mother. He later found out that Natalie made an excuse to learn that Adrian was going to Pixar to preside over daily affairs. She thought it was a rare opportunity and wanted to follow her. Anyway, with Adrian by her side, everything would be fine, and of course Shelly agreed. down.

"It's not bad for you to deceive people..." Adrian, who hugged Young V tightly, panted lightly, jokingly said while attacking.

"I didn't... I just... didn't say... all the words..." Natalie groaned as she clung to him like an octopus.

On the balcony of Adrian's mansion, the two merged intimately in the sun. f
