King of Hollywood

\u003c/br\u003e Chapter 32 The result is hard to say

After going to the set of "Transparent Man", which was launched shortly after, and telling Naomi about the release time of "Behind the Lies", Adrian then went to the set of "Innocence", which is also the last one. Movies to ask about.色@色*文￥学%网M This film is quite similar in theme to Sofia’s last film "Girl Suicide", so although the pre-production was a bit longer, the filming was quite quick.

"The scene is also very simple, just find a woods and build it. Although Liv's acting skills are very ordinary, but it fits the role quite well, so it can be completed by the end of the month at the latest." Sophia was lazily talking Lying on the bed with only a thin blanket on her body.

"That's right, it's basically half as efficient as mine." Adrian lay on his side next to her, propping his head up with his arms.

"No one can compare to a pervert, right?" Sophia smiled slyly, and then she sighed again: "It's a pity that I can't catch up with this year's Cannes Film Festival, and I don't want to go to Venice again."

"Then go to the Berlin Film Festival. If you think their atmosphere is not very good, the Sundance Film Festival is also a good choice." Adrian said immediately, and then picked up a corner of the blanket with one hand and followed I touched it.

"Ed." Sophia rolled her eyes at him, but didn't avoid his hand, just felt his kneading and sighed: "Oh, I'm so stupid, I clearly told myself that a one-night stand with you is enough I didn't expect it to be..."

"It shows that you didn't take this sentence to heart, Sophie, it shows that you—" Adrian chuckled, "You are actually full of longing in your heart."

"No," Sophia retorted, "it's just that your methods are too clever, or to put it more mysteriously, you have an indescribable attraction, and you can seduce women with just a few words. I still remember leaving On the set, Liv's resentful eyes, as long as we show intimacy, her mouth will pout, how did you coax such an innocent girl?"

"The word coaxing is too serious, Sophie, did I coax you into bed?" Adrian said aggrievedly.

Sophia originally wanted to tease a few more words, but after thinking about it, she sighed again, "Well, no, you... are the most talented director I have ever seen, Ed."

Although there was a pause in the middle, she still spoke smoothly, which made Adrian raise his eyebrows in surprise: "It really surprises me, isn't the most talented director in your mind the great Francis? Cobb Mr. Ra? Wouldn't the next one be the great Sophia? Ms. Coppola? Adrian? Mr. Cowell would be third at best."

"I'm serious, Ed." Sophia didn't smile, and kept her eyes on him, "Yes, I don't deny that, in my heart, my father is the greatest, but he doesn't have that much at your age." So many noteworthy accomplishments."

"Wow, you also said that I can coax women, aren't you also good at coaxing men?" Adrian laughed, turned over and pressed her under him, bowed his head and kissed one, "If I like you, so Fee."

"That's the only way, no more." Sophia kissed back first, and then warned.

"Okay, okay." Adrian laughed and continued to kiss, "Then let's discuss the topic at the beginning. I still recommend participating in the Berlin Film Festival or Sundance Film Festival, so that you can slow down. Slow post-production and conception of new works, and then travel around the world to find inspiration, London, Paris, Rome or Tokyo, Taipei, Manila, write down the insights in your heart, spend a year slowly carving out the script, and then like Now that the filming has been completed in such a short period of time, and finally participated in the Cannes Film Festival in 2002-I have a hunch that this will be a very special film."

"Sounds pretty good," Sophia hugged him, "but this time the script is completely written by myself, and I won't show it to you until it's finished."

"Should there be the right to comment after reading it?"

"Well... no, I don't want to be influenced by you."

"Hey, if it's a good opinion, how can you not listen? Is it a bad thing to be influenced by me?"

"No, I won't do it if I say no."

"Really can not?"

"Really can not."

"Very well, then I'll make the impossible work now!"

"What are you doing?! Ed! Stop it! Ed!"

Now that Scarlett has been officially wiped out by him, it's time to make the debut of the most classic masterpiece of her girlhood. It doesn't matter much a year in advance, although this movie is more of a storytelling people, but the acting skills of the actors still cannot be ignored. By the way, you can also sell it to the Coppola family, and then put Sofia on the bed a few more times, just like now, even if it's just a friendly match, it can't be just one time. Besides, although Sophia is not beautiful, her temperament has always been very good, and it is okay to change her taste occasionally.

But it's still early for now, let's plant the seeds in Sophia's heart first. In addition to wandering around the studio, the various post-production studios are also where he will go these days. The two films that have been filmed this year, "Never Compromise" have just closed the filming, and they have to wait for a while to start the post-production Time, this is not urgent, as long as it can be released at the end of the year. The plot of "Winter's Bone" is relatively simple. The key lies in photography, acting and editing. The first two items have been done very well, and the remaining editing needs to be done by Adrian himself.

In fact, this is not hard work. After completing these two films, there will be no other shooting tasks this year. You don’t have to be as busy as last year. Just release it, and with the media in his hands, he doesn't need to participate in film festivals to make the film famous.

So actually the one that needs the most attention, the one that is in the final stages of production, is another one, the first part of The Lord of the Rings, The Fellowship of the Ring.

The consequence of shooting all three films in one go is that the shots to be processed are messy and complicated. Even though Adrian has been careful to reduce those unnecessary shots, this situation still occurs. What's more, all kinds of cg have to be processed, the static ones are fine, and if the dynamic ones can't pass the test with Adrian, it will take time and effort to re-render.

If it is completely controlled by Adrian, as long as he still maintains the state of flying around the world from time to time, then don't think about how efficient it is. Well, he's got a right-hand man on this movie, yes, Peter? Jackson, a fat man from New Zealand who likes to grow a beard, the original director of the "Lord of the Rings" series.

It sounds like Adrian is very unkind. He has taken away the best works of the other party, and he has been asked to be an assistant director during the shooting, and now he is an assistant for himself in the post-production, so as not to squeeze his stuff It's too shameless to come out and not stop. But in fact, this is not what he meant. Just like when he was filming in New Zealand, Jackson recommended himself. I have to say that he really likes Tolkien's novel.

Adrian has no reason to refuse, does he? As for some aspects, they have been taken away, so can they be returned? At best, give him the movie versions of The Silmarillion and The Hobbit in the future.

But even with Peter? Jackson's help as an assistant only improved the efficiency partly. Adrian's special technique is not something other people can learn. No one but him can maintain such a high lens utilization rate, even Peter who is very familiar with "Lord of the Rings"? Neither can Jackson.

"You are a genius, Ed, I can't figure out the mind of a genius." Jackson answered this question with sincerity.

Adrian's reaction was to pat him on the shoulder and leave with confidence. Anyway, the movie will not be released until the end of next year at the earliest. There is enough time. Even if he maintains his current state, if it takes more than a year If you can't get a "Lord of the Rings" in the movie, it's better to take off the title of director of miracle.

Skipping the two-day cruise with Julia, the next thing is naturally the premiere of "Secretary Belle", but the scale is small, which is different from the original idea. Adrian missed one point, that is, Kate's box office appeal is relatively low. "28 Days" also received some positive reviews, but it disappeared for more than a year because of Lily's pregnancy.

Everyone knows what it means to disappear for more than a year in this place where the renewal is extremely fast. Although Adrian is behind Kate, there is no need to start all over again, but most of the popularity still needs to be accumulated again.

And the movie "Beauty Secret Service" has almost no big names from actors to directors, and the only important one is Michael who plays the beauty pageant designer? Kane. If Kate has not disappeared for more than a year, with the box office of "Tornado" and "A Touch of Fate"-although the protagonist of "Tornado" is not an actor-and the accumulated popularity, the box office appeal may not be as good as the original version, but it is almost the same , no problem hosting a boisterous premiere.

It's not impossible to do this now, but it's a bit too extravagant. It is estimated that some people will take this ridicule. If the box office is average, there will be more such people. Therefore, if the scale is reduced, the scale should be reduced. Anyway, there should be some stars, movie fans waiting, and reporters catching news.

The premiere was arranged at the Dorothy Theatre, and it was quite lively that night. For some considerations, Adrian did not show up on the red carpet, but entered the theater through the side door.

"I don't want Lily to be exposed to the media so early," he told Kate.

Although he controls a lot of media, unless Kate is not an actor or he controls all the media in the United States, Lily will become the target of reporters sooner or later. Of course, from a father's point of view, the later the day comes, the better. As Lily's mother, Kate naturally had no objections, and the unhappiness that had been in her heart because he didn't walk the red carpet before also disappeared.

After chatting with the guests, Adrian entered the screening room with Kate when the time was almost up. At this time, there is no need to cover up his intimate relationship with her. It's not that people in the circle don't know what he is like People, it's not surprising. As for the reporters who might sneak in, let alone whether they might bring cameras in, even if there were photos, the photos here are not as convincing as those on the red carpet.

Although "Secret Agent Belle" has been modified a lot, it is only for the character of the heroine, and the theme of the whole story has not changed much. At the beginning, the heroine Gracie was called a freak by her classmates when she was a child—even the two boys she saved called her that. Of course, Emily gave the boy she saved without hesitation. ——The plot initially outlines her character. Then the time jumps to more than ten years later, and the criminals who conduct illegal transactions in the bar are arrested, and then the kindness of the heroine Emily does not help, and almost messes up the whole operation. Fortunately, another member of the same group reacted quickly enough , thus further revealing her person.

Next is the private life, the relationship with colleagues, a carefree, somewhat masculine female image, so all entered the audience's field of vision.

"Once again, I thought of your appearance when we first met." Adrian couldn't help but blow into Kate's ear.

"Yeah, that pot of coffee impressed me very much." Kate blocked his words immediately.

"Oh, you're so uncute now, I'm starting to regret letting you play in this movie." Adrian complained pretendingly, and then moved her gaze back to the big screen before she could speak.

Now that the character of the heroine has been revealed, the next step is to create conflicts, so some criminals plan to plant bombs at the Miss America contest, but they can't monitor and can't persuade the organizers to stop the competition, and finally they have to arrange Gracie To be an undercover agent, of course, she must learn how to run for Miss America in a short period of time. She doesn't have to be very competitive, but at least she can't be seen as a fake at a glance.

So, Michael, who plays the beauty pageant designer Victor? Kane made his debut. Speaking of which, the "Cider House Rules" that Kate is currently working on is also cooperating with Kane, but it doesn't have as many scenes as "Secretary Belle". I remember the last time Kate seemed to discuss the movie with Charlize, it's a pity I didn't see such an interesting scene.

The topic goes back to the movie. The beauty pageant designer Victor has created several Miss America, and he has an unusual obsession with perfection. Of course, he is also gay-in the movie, men who design clothes for women seem to be Has been fixed as a gay face, although most of life is indeed gay.

If such a man and such a woman are together, if there is no conflict, God will not believe it, so the jokes in the early stage basically come from them. I have to say that the old man Kane deserves to have won an Oscar—although he is a supporting actor—he interprets the appearance of homosexuality very well, especially those small movements, and the lack of attention to Gracie who never dresses up and pays attention to words and deeds. The masked disgust caused bursts of laughter from the audience.

"What do you think of Michael?" Adrian glanced at Kane who was sitting not far in front, and then asked Kate softly.

Kate thought and recalled in silence for several minutes, and finally sighed: "His acting skills are much better than mine."

Adrian, who was just trying to find a topic at random, raised his eyebrows, grabbed her hand and patted it lightly: "Don't worry, this is all tempered."

The plot continues, and there is no need to repeat it. Similar to many similar comedies, Gracie has to make some troubles when she participates in the beauty pageant from time to time, and then get away with all kinds of unimaginable ways, such as because a certain audience brought gun, so when there was a change, Gracie's avatar threw herself on the ground, and it turned out that the other party just wanted to smoke. Gracie's explanation for this is that she wants to use this kind of action to support smoking cessation activities.

The subsequent turning point was also not unexpected. Suddenly there was news that the bomb maniac had been caught, so the beauty pageant naturally lifted the alarm. But Gracie, who collected more information, didn't think so. She felt that the guy who threatened to create terror in the beauty pageant was not the same person as the bomb maniac. Unfortunately, no one supported her opinion, so she had to finish the participation Beauty pageants were left alone.

However, supporting roles are indispensable around the lonely hero, so some people still believe in her, and that is the designer Victor who has been confronting her when dressing her up. As a beauty pageant designer, although he has no influence on Miss America, he knows the inside story of Miss America, so another male detective who also believed in Gracie, but had to go back because of the order, got some news from him. Combined with the information Gracie told him at the beginning, the real criminal was finally discovered.

In the end, it was naturally a happy ending, in which the real face of the criminal was revealed in full view—the old woman who hosted the event, because after this event, she will no longer be in charge of the future Miss America, and while feeling resentful, there is a constant The son who did bad things, so he planned revenge.

At the same time, Gracie also rescued the elected Miss America and a good friend she met at the event from the bomber, which won countless applause. Afterwards, although Gracie went back, she still got the most popular trophy, which was presented to her by the elected Miss America at the breakfast party.

Although the plot is relatively clichéd, with a little inspiration and friendship and love, the taste of popcorn movies will become more delicious, which can be judged from the occasional low laughter in the screening hall. However, it is a pity that Kate is still too beautiful. Although the makeup artist tried to make her mediocre at the beginning, she still couldn't conceal her temperament, especially now that she is in the golden age of a woman. Come to think of it, it's hard to look amazing after the makeup in the play, so the feeling of the ugly duckling turning into a swan in the audience's mind will not be very strong. Coupled with the lack of box office appeal, it's hard to say what the result will be.
