"There is no doubt that there will be differences. After all, the three novels of "Lord of the Rings" have thousands of pages, and a movie is only 180 minutes at most. It is impossible for me to show everything in detail. Of course, I try my best. Considering the requirements of book fans, the most classic passages have been retained, although some plots are somewhat inconsistent with the original, but it does not affect the overall perception." Not surprisingly, Adrian talked to the reporter again on the red carpet.

This must be done. As a director and a producer, it’s okay to hardly follow the crew to promote it when making a commercial blockbuster. It’s always right to boast to the reporter when walking the red carpet to attend the premiere. ?

"You mean to say that you feel that you have perfected your own revision of the original work?" Someone asked, with a trap.

"I seldom use the word perfect. You know, it's not the more gorgeous words you use, the better. If every movie is said to be perfect, then the word perfect is too cheap," said Adri Ann smiled slyly, "But I always try my best to complete it, just like what we have always advocated, the process is always more important than the result."

At this time, a burst of cheers and screams came from the entrance of the red carpet, so loud that the reporters here couldn't help but turn their heads to look, and Adrian did the same.

Three women with different styles appeared in front of everyone together. The one on the far right has long blond hair and a long beige dress, which looks very elegant. The middle point is a big golden wave, and the black tube top dress sets off her temperament unattainable. The one on the far left has long straight black hair, and the white sleeveless narrow tube skirt makes her as cute and charming as a big girl. The women who were originally very beautiful appeared together again at this moment, and the men present were dazzled by seeing them, so it was no wonder that there were so many screams. The most interesting point is that from right to left. Blue eyes and blond hair, blond hair with blue eyes, blue eyes and black hair, all the way through the past, giving people a very strange feeling.

"Look who's coming, Queen Galadriel, Princess Arwen, and Princess Eowyn." As the three of them walked slowly while nodding to the surroundings, Adrian made a playful loud voice shouted.

Although the role of Gwyneth will not appear in the first film, the role of Eowyn was already well-known when the film was promoted, and it is no problem to participate in the premiere of the film as the leading actor .

"Hi. Ed, nice to meet you." Blanchett took the lead and smiled and hugged Adrian in front of the reporter. Her figure recovered quite well.

Although Gwyneth next to her raised her eyebrows inexorably, she didn't let others see her, and then hugged Adrian lightly like Blanchett. Liv didn't care about anything, and didn't care about anything, she walked up to him happily and hugged him like a model.

The reporter excitedly pressed the shutter beside him, and there was a continuous sound of clicks and clicks. As long as such a situation is posted in the form of a photo, it is enough to attract people's attention without adding words. It's all Wonder Girls. And both were nominated for Best Actress in the 71st Oscars, and those two films were produced and directed by Adrian, and they were filmed in the UK at the same time. The relationship between the two of them seems to be very good, and they are often photographed shopping together. So many people privately maliciously speculated whether they often slept with Director Miracle together.

Next, Adrian made an even more astonishing move, he was actually in front of so many reporters. He put his arms around Gwyneth and Blanchett's waist. Well, many directors would put their arms around the heroines in their works for reporters to take pictures, but the problem is that the rumors between the miracle director and the miracle girls are already well known, but because of his power, there is no turmoil. Under such circumstances, they actually acted so intimately in public, and there were rumors of a double flight with Blanchett and Gwyneth, so it wasn't that there was nothing wrong with each other. That is, he has no scruples at all.

Of course, everyone knew that the possibility of the former was basically negligible, and Adrian's title of playboy in private was not for nothing. But what does that have to do with them? As entertainment reporters, isn't that what they want? The people around pressed the shutter even more frantically. Moreover, Blanchett and Gwyneth cooperated extremely well. Both women leaned back their upper bodies. Although they didn't put their hands on Adrian's shoulders, they looked like they were leaning on his hands. Very intimate and ambiguous. The flash suddenly flashed faster.

But this is not the limit, and soon, Blanchett left Adrian's arm, and Liv next to him switched in. After a click, Gwyneth on the other side left again. Replaced by Blanchett. The reporters immediately took a long breath. It seemed that even Liv Tyler, a sweet and lovely girl, hadn't escaped the playboy's grasp, and looking at her intimate appearance, it was even possible...

The crowd began to commotion, and Adrian laughed, waved his hand and led the three girls into the theater. The reporters who had been pressing the shutter just remembered that they forgot to ask questions, but when they wanted to make up for it, they had already gone a long way, so they had no choice but to pick up the camera and take another burst of snap shots.

"It's surprising that you came together." Adrian smiled and said to the three girls around him after entering the front hall.

"Remember what I said, he likes it like this." Blanchett raised his chin to the other two, then glanced at Adrian and snorted softly.

"It's funny though," Gwyneth said with a smile.

"That's right, that's right." Liv hurriedly nodded in agreement, her eyes squinting as if she was very happy.

"In this case, how about we continue to study the story between Sauron and Galadriel, Éowyn, and Arwen tonight?" Adrian raised his eyebrows and said.

The three beautiful girls rolled their eyes at him at the same time, and then scattered away. Well, Gwyneth left later, because——

"Are you coming next week?" she asked, looking him in the eyes.

"Of course, how could I be absent." Adrian knew what she was thinking, "Don't worry, I won't say things to your father that make him unhappy."

Old Paltrow has never liked Adrian very much, especially since he and his wife are both in the entertainment industry and know certain things better. shu. But the problem is that Gwyneth doesn't listen to his advice and is obsessed with staying with Adrian, if it's anyone else. With his contacts, he can give the other party some color, but Adrian is not a big shot he can offend, and Gwyneth's achievements in the past few years are almost the sum of his and his wife's past, so it can only be This is the default.

However, although he acquiesces, every time he sees Adrian, he can't help but say a few uncomfortable words, but Adrian, who understands him, always smiles so as not to argue. Gwyneth also knows, but she still hopes that Adrian can get along well with her father, and next week "A Beautiful Mind" will have its premiere, the premiere of every daughter's Oscar-winning movie, old Pat Luo will participate. So Gwyneth had to pray softly to Adrian, and Adrian naturally comforted her repeatedly.

Putting this aside, the guests who came to the premiere of "Lord of the Rings" are not much less than those of "X-Men". Peter Jackson and his friends, two brothers of Silver Phoenix, and Hans? Zimmer and so on.

That's right, the soundtrack work of "The Lord of the Rings" was handed over to Hans Zimmer, a well-known soundtrack master who has hardly been recognized by Oscars. As early as the production of "Brave to Kill the Island", Adrian acted first, and did not give Dreamworks a chance to recruit him to serve as Bosworth's music director. Later, Universal was acquired, and after the integration, he became the music director of Universal as a matter of course.

Although I have seen countless movies and listened to countless soundtracks in my previous life, whether it is John Williams, James Horner or Ennio Morricone, I like it all, but for some reason Hans Zimmer is the one I like the most, Probably because his soundtracks are always widely circulated. So Adrian dug him up early and let him play the soundtrack of "The Lord of the Rings" so that he could fulfill his dream of an Oscar.

certainly. For this reason, he spent a lot of energy discussing it, and often argued with Zimmer about the main points of the soundtrack of "The Lord of the Rings". The ethereal style of the original version is indeed in place, so he hopes that Zimmer will also consider it this point. But Zimmer has his own ideas. Although the soundtrack must meet the requirements of the director or producer, there is no inspiration from his heart. The soundtrack would just feel so hollow, and every time Adrian went to his studio to discuss the soundtrack, he couldn't stop talking for hours.

"In the end, a lot of people complained to me, so I had to schedule every meeting after get off work." Zimmer couldn't help sighing when he said this, and then everyone around burst into laughter. Anyone who has worked with Adrian knows that this state of affairs is all too normal. Adrian can always control the debate within a certain range, so that no matter how big the differences are, there will be no time and space. It is a pleasure to discuss issues with him.

"Anyway, the soundtrack is beautiful, you are very good. Hans." Adrian smiled and patted him on the shoulder.

Zimmer is not a stubborn person who refuses to be flexible. He tries his best to keep his own style while getting closer to Adrian's request, and Adrian often hums some good melodies for his reference, so the final soundtrack is grand, Lighthearted, passionate, basically everything is covered, at least a step above the original version, Ji Mo is worthy of being a master musician.

"Well, I'm waiting to hear tonight, what is so wonderful about Hans' soundtrack, and whether it can really surpass James." After only two people remained, James Cameron said somewhat aggrievedly.

"Come on, Jim, James is indeed an excellent soundtrackist, but I think Zimmer is more suitable for the soundtrack of "The Lord of the Rings." Adrian laughed, and he would only use "Jim" when he had the same name. Nick name.

Cameron was talking about James Horner, his old buddy who has worked with him many times. Because the special effects of "Lord of the Rings" are all produced in the digital field, Cameron, who has a keen eye, recommended James Horner to Adrian. Soundtrack, I hope this old man can improve to a higher level, but Adrian handed over this work to Hans Zimmer.

"Don't worry about this, Jim, let's talk about your affairs. Is the documentary ready?" Adrian changed the subject.

"Oh, don't be so anxious, Ed," Cameron waved his hand, "There are still some later stages, don't worry, it will definitely be completed before next year's Oscars."

"Really? Great, maybe I should persuade the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences to advance this year's Oscars to the end of February." Adrian raised his eyebrows.

"No problem, Ed." Cameron laughed, "As long as the film school really changes the date, I promise to finish it ahead of schedule."

"Okay," Adrian glared at him, "So let's not mention this for now, regardless of the digital field, I still have some ideas."

Cameron put away his smile and made a gesture of invitation, looking very serious. He has always respected Adrian's right to speak in the digital field. Because in his opinion, Adrian saved the digital realm.

This special effects company was founded in 1993. The founder Scott Ross was the former general manager of Industrial Light and Magic. Later, Cameron and his friend and partner Stan Winston joined in and became the original iron triangle. But with the continuous development of the special effects company, the scale also began to expand, and more and more funds were needed, so Ross, who was in charge in 1996, got investment from Lehman Brothers.

If nothing changes, the capital injection of Lehman Brothers will cause another investment company, Kex Group, to covet the digital field, thus acquiring a 33% stake and controlling the special effects company. Let the Iron Triangle survive in name only. Then Cameron and Winston will have a conflict with Ross under the leadership of the Kex Group because of "Titanic", and finally withdraw from the board of directors of the digital field, and the digital field will take another path. After that, it slowly declined due to lack of flexibility.

Adrian still knew about this incident. Although he didn't know exactly what happened, there are many channels in this life for him to investigate, so when Rosla invested in 1996. Although the media has just begun to take shape and there are many places to spend money, it still took part of the funds to grab the 33% of the shares ahead of the Max Group.

In this way, the media has an absolute right to speak, and it is even more comfortable for him to support Cameron and Winston. So despite, after making Titanic. Ross, who was in charge, still had conflicts with Cameron and Winston, and at one point they had a quarrel, and even threatened to resign. Later, Adrian came forward to adjust their conflicts.

"Remember what I promised Scott?" Adrian said with a smile, "After intelligence analysis and specific investigation, I have decided to set up an overseas studio."

"Overseas studio?" Cameron narrowed his eyes.

"That's right, most of the special effects of "The Lord of the Rings" this time were in charge of talents recruited by Peter Jackson from New Zealand. As you yourself admit, that guy also has great ideas for movie special effects," Adrian smiled. He said, "The cost is relatively cheap, so setting up an overseas studio is very helpful."

After all. The difference between Ross, Cameron, and Winston is that the special effects for "Titanic" cost a lot, as he must consider a more comprehensive situation. And Adrian's promise to Ross was that he could solve this problem, but it would take a little time, so the conflict between the three was considered to subside. Without the control of the Max Group in the back, the cooperation foundation of the Audio-Technica is relatively solid. Although the quarrel was fierce this time, it did not hurt each other's feelings. Therefore, in Cameron's eyes, Adrian saved the digital field. .

"But..." Cameron hesitated.

"Don't worry, I did the research, remember what I told you when I was in New Zealand? I said that I plan to hire Chinese people to make special effects, and I'm serious. We have cooperation with mainland China, and their CG special effects talents There are quite a few, many of them are not inferior to American special effects artists, they are cheap and have excellent abilities, why not?"

In the previous life, the special effects companies after 2000 basically chose this path and set up a large number of cheap overseas studios. The digital field is also because of the slow response to this, and they are worried that their technology will be learned away. , and eventually went bankrupt under the name of the world's top special effects company. Adrian doesn't care about technology being learned away. For movies, CG is always the icing on the cake. A good story is the most important thing. Chinese movies and American movies in previous lives have fully proved this point. If it wasn't for some reason, he would have started this step a long time ago, but after 9/11, China and the United States entered the honeymoon period again, so he took advantage of the opportunity to bring it up now.

Adrian's initial investment in the digital field was not just because he wanted to help Cameron. With the development of movies, cheaper and cheaper CG special effects became more and more important. People's activities are all synthesized, especially the large number of superhero movies, which are almost all made of CG, so it is necessary to use a special effects company.

So the digital field has become the best choice. At least at the beginning of 21, their real power is strong, almost comparable to Industrial Light and Magic. As for the problems, with Adrian here, it can definitely be avoided, and then you can take this opportunity to further win over Cameron, so that he can develop the 3D camera in his heart with peace of mind, even though 3D movies will not start to enter in 7 or 8 years. Mainstream theater, but Adrian is used to preparing for the future.

"The production of CG has become cheaper and cheaper, but the labor cost is still high, so even if we don't do this, there are still a lot of special effects studios like this, why not start first?" Adrian continued.

"Okay, I'll tell Scott, if you have something to say, don't hesitate to talk about it in detail." Cameron said after thinking for a moment.

"What's your opinion?" Adrian asked.

"Directing movies and producing special effects is my job." Cameron shrugged solemnly, and Adrian immediately laughed.

He is a smart man, and he has said it in such detail, how could he not know how to choose? (To be continued... Q
