King of Hollywood

Since "Pulp Fiction" in the previous life was able to win the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival, the possibility of getting it now should be very high, not to mention that Adrian, who is very familiar with film history, clearly remembers that at the 65th Cannes Film Festival next year "Betrayal of Goodwill", which won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival, is the most mediocre work that has ever won the Cannes Film Festival.

Speaking of it, it is really quite black humorous. Quentin made "Pulp Fiction" obviously for entertainment, but it was interpreted into various versions by those film critics, and finally won the Palme d'Or in Cannes. Although there are also public relations factors of the producer Miramax, it is undeniable that those film critics who made a fuss helped a lot.

In Adrian's opinion, the feature of this movie is mainly in two aspects, one is the circular structure of chapters, the three stories and the characters in them interact with each other; the other is the theme of impermanence, of course this theme is very hidden, such as John Travolta, who shined in the first quarter like the protagonist, was killed by Bruce Willis as soon as he appeared in the second quarter. Another example is that the gang boss chased and killed Bruce aggressively at the beginning, but was later killed by an asshole And it's up to Bruce to get out, not to mention Samuel L Jackson and John Travolta in the car discussing in the car in the third quarter and accidentally headshot the guy in the backseat and all that kind of stuff The details are everywhere, and the film critics will think it is excellent, and it probably has something to do with it.

After all, "Pulp Fiction" was launched in 1994 in the previous life, and the circular narrative style and alternative descriptions of violence were indeed amazing at that time. Now, Adrian intends to advance this movie to 1992. He already has two cult-type works, "Two Smoking Barrels" and "Memory Fragments", and it is logical to make another movie like this. It's just that the box office may be less because of the previous two films-of course, it may be more.

Although the Palme d'Or in Cannes is not as influential as the Oscars in the United States, it has a high international reputation and is the coveted award of many directors. Now that there is such a good opportunity, Adrian will naturally not let it go. As for Quentin... it's better to continue to be the owner of your video rental shop, and he will find more patrons in the future.

In fact, Adrian's original plan was to start shooting "Howards End" after finishing "Scent of a Woman", but later he realized that the Cannes Film Festival will be held in mid-May. If he chooses to make "Howards End" then In any case, it is impossible to get "Pulp Fiction" out before May, even if he is now privately known as a progress lunatic in the company.

Well, it's not a big deal, just swap the production process of the two films. Anyway, the right to adapt the novel "Howard Endor" is in my own hands, so I don't have to worry about being taken away.

In addition, although the movie "Pulp Fiction" has many scenes, there is nothing to pay attention to in terms of director skills, so if the filming starts at the end of January 1992, he is sure to complete the shooting task in mid-March, and then spend It took a month and a half to post-production, and the timing was just right. Of course, the first prerequisite for doing this is to finish the later stage of "Scent of a Woman" and the script of "Pulp Fiction" earlier.

Therefore, Claude was very dissatisfied with him.

"To be honest, Ed, if your father didn't call you, would you still stay at home and not go anywhere?" Standing in the corner of the hall, Claude looked at the people talking in the center of the venue, and said Asked Adrian jokingly.

"How is it possible..." Adrian originally wanted to make a joke, but after Claude turned his head and looked at him with a half-smile, he changed his words: "Actually, if the godfather didn't call, I’d go out shopping with Kate, then have dinner and go for a drive, and then I’d end up at Marbury’s house, which, you know, I haven’t been in a long time.”

"Don't tell me, you haven't received my call before." Claude narrowed his eyes.

"But you didn't say it clearly on the phone, did you?" Adrian spread his hands, looking a little rascal.

Claude looked at him for a long while, then sighed: "I don't even know what to say, Ed. Two years ago you hung around all night, and your home was just a place to sleep; I'm so busy with my career that I hardly sleep at all. Although I understand your urgency, it is undoubtedly foolish to go from one extreme to the other."

"Hey, when am I so busy that I don't even sleep, I admit that my time is always tight these days, but my schedule is very reasonable." Adrian reminded.

"At the beginning of last month, I asked you to go to Puslan for a drink, but you refused; I invited you to the party three weeks ago, but you refused again; ten days ago, I asked you to go to the racecourse, and you still refused," Claude counted unhurriedly, "Your work and rest time is indeed reasonable, and the price is to reject me again and again. If you want, I can cite all the examples from last year."

"Okay, okay, I admit that it was my negligence, that's all right, next time you ask me to do something again, I will definitely agree." Adrian said quickly, after thinking about it, he added: "Whether at that time What am I doing!"

"Are you sure?" Claude looked at him and asked seriously, and after getting Adrian's affirmative answer, he said, "Well, how about we go to my father's golf course next week and play a few rounds?"

"Oh, hell! You can't do this, Claude!" Adrian immediately rolled his eyes. He had already thought of something and was about to speak out, but Claude took the lead.

Basically, the children of the rich will learn to ride horses, fencing, tennis, golf and other activities. These are games of the upper class, and the racecourse and golf course are also places for communication. Many businesses are decided while playing golf. of. Adrian can ride well, play tennis well, fencing is barely passable, but golf is terrible.

In Adrian's memory, it is common for the previous Adrian to throw the club when he swings, and even throw himself out from time to time. Claude proposed to play golf, making it clear that he wanted to see his jokes.

"Hey, you just promised me just now, do you want to go back on it now?" Claude asked with a smile.

"This...it's not fair!" Adrian took a long time to say anything.

"This world is unfair, Ed." Claude said in a lazy tone.

"Damn!" Adrian looked at him angrily.

Fortunately, a voice came at this moment, breaking the deadlock here: "Hey, Ed, Crowe, you are here."

"Hi, Dad."

"Hi, godfather."

The two turned their heads to look at the old man and shouted in unison, another person beside the old man couldn't help laughing: "You have an excellent son and godson, Mr. Ron Rees."

Adrian, who saw the person clearly, raised his eyebrows.

(Ahhh, all kinds of requests, all kinds of requests, everyone, please work harder...)
