King of Hollywood

The room was quiet for a few seconds, and then I heard Liv making a puffing sound, followed by Blanchett and laughed, and she didn't cover her mouth like Liv did, laughing out of joy, Gwen Nisi was also smiling, but she seemed a little helpless. Although the three women were talking about their children, they were also paying attention to the situation of Adrian and Eleanor, so the little guy's words were naturally heard in his ears.

"Is this funny?" Although Adrian couldn't help rolling his eyes after hearing what the fifth daughter said, he still couldn't help asking back in the face of the women's laughter.

It's a pity that the women didn't pay attention, but laughed even louder. Even Eleanor was amused to giggle, and even yelled and danced.

Well, it's worth a laugh, Adrian has had six children so far, all of them daughters. Although this is normal in terms of probability, after all, the mother of each child is different. A coin is tossed nine times in a row and it will be heads, but the probability of tails on the tenth time is still only 50%, let alone Ten different coins, but it's somewhat ironic, especially since...

"Do you really want a sister, Eleanor?" Adrian could only continue teasing the little guy in his arms.

"Yes!" Eleanor replied very loudly.

"Okay, did you hear that, Gwynnie, you have to have a daughter this time, understand?" Adrian made a serious look.

"I have no objection. But what if things go against our wishes?" Gwyneth asked with a smile on her hands.

"We'll talk about it later." Adrian waved his hand indifferently.

"It's really perfunctory," Liv cried out with some dissatisfaction, "If Gwynnie still gave birth to a girl, then you will have seven daughters, Ed, not three or four, but seven! "

"Yes, I know," Adrian shrugged, followed by a sigh. "I really can't figure out why God did this to me."

"Why are you doing this to you, don't you know?" Liv immediately rolled her eyes at her.

Adrian couldn't help raising his eyebrows, what's going on with her today, she's so active...Look at Blanchett and Gwyneth, both women showed elegant smiles on purpose, there is no doubt that Liv was caught again When the gun is used. certainly. Liv doesn't mind if she knows this or not, as said before, the three of them are basically one, like Monica and Sophie, and Kate, Sarah, Charlize and Evan Card.

"No, no, dear Liv. You made a mistake," he waved his hands solemnly, "I'm not complaining, I'm actually praising, praising God for giving me so many daughters."

"Praise? Why?" Liv immediately showed a puzzled expression.

"Don't you know?" Adrian blinked. "Generally speaking, boys are closer to their mothers, while daughters are closer to their fathers, so... hey!"

Just after saying this, Eleanor in her arms grabbed his face, not only pinching it back and forth. He also grabbed the flesh on his face and pulled it out, and giggled and looked very happy: "Dad is very funny."

"Okay, okay, Dad will stay here from now on and be your toy." Adrian said helplessly, rolling his eyes, and the women laughed again.

"Okay, Eleanor, come to Mommy and stop bullying Dad. This will make her very depressed." Blanchett clapped her hands and was about to get her daughter back, but Adrian took the little one The guy handed it to Gwyneth.

Although Gwyneth was puzzled, she still took Eleanor over and kissed her. Eleanor showed a joyful expression. She was used to the fact that there were two aunts besides her mother, but compared to her father I'm much more honest when I'm in my arms.

"You are going to be a mother soon, so you have to learn more about this aspect, Eleanor will leave it to you, and I—" Adrian opened his arms with a smile, and hugged Blanche one by one Liv's waist, "you need to have a good talk with the queen and princess."

"Ed!" Blanchett and Liv immediately shouted in unison, while Gwyneth sighed: "I knew it."

Then she stood up, carried Eleanor and walked out: "Let's go downstairs, Eleanor, your father has started doing bad things again."

"Is Dad going to become a big devil again?" Eleanor's childish voice came in when the door was closed, making Blanchett and Liv laugh endlessly.

"Look, look!" Adrian sighed and complained, "What have you taught her? What does it mean that Dad is going to become a big devil again!"

"This has nothing to do with us, it's all Lily taught her." Liv unceremoniously put all the responsibility on Lily.

"Ha, I'm going to shirk responsibility. It seems that I should let you have a child, so that you can feel what it's like to be a parent." Adrian said with a vicious look, but Liv didn't care at all. I didn't care, and immediately raised my chest: "I don't want to have children, if you think you can force me, then come!"

Adrian stared at her without speaking for a long while, Liv immediately snorted softly and left triumphantly.

"Liv is becoming less and less cute." Adrian, who kept hitting the wall, sighed again, and then sat down and hugged Blanchett in his arms, "Your Majesty Galadriel is more considerate."

"If I leave too, won't there be no one to accompany you? If no one is with you, God knows what bad things you will do." Blanchett smiled slightly, with an indescribable taste, Adrian has been I like the way she smiles.

Reaching out to touch her face, Adrian smiled after staring at her for a long time: "Speaking of which, the last "Lord of the Rings" will be released at the end of the year, and it will not be easy to see Queen Galadriel after that." .”

"What the hell are you thinking about?" Blanchett raised her eyebrows, but she could tell by looking at her eyes that had turned into a half-smile. She had roughly guessed it.

"What do you think of the "Shakespeare in Love" between me and Gwynne?" Adrian approached the girl, pinching her chin flirtatiously, "I mean the special version, last time I was in a private movie theater Play it, you saw it when you watched it with Gwynnie, I know."

Blanchett snorted softly, and a smile flashed in his gray-blue eyes: "Unless you have a good script...that can describe Galadriel's depravity in a reasonable and logical way."

"So simple?" Adrian was a little surprised.

"Obviously, you are determined to make it, even if you refuse now. You will find a way to lobby me to tease me again and again in the future, so let's not set a difficult condition and agree to it, let's see what you will do " Blanchett said leisurely, narrowing his eyes slightly, with a somewhat provocative taste, "I have read Tolkien's novels carefully, and Galadriel is a terrific big shot. Ren. I don’t dare to touch Roselorian, it’s almost impossible to make her fall.”

Then she raised her chin and snorted softly: "A man who is never satisfied."

With a slightly coquettish and dissatisfied look, coupled with a natural and elegant temperament, even though she has experienced countless times and tasted every inch of her skin, Adri still felt a little bit twitchy at that moment.

"There is always a way. All stories are written by people." Adrian laughed and put his hand on the base of her thigh.

"It's better to lure Arwen to depravity first, and then influence Galadriel through her." A voice came from behind, followed by Liv's warm body and hugged him from behind.

"Didn't you run away?" Adrian turned around in surprise.

"I just left for a while, it's not that I won't come back, or you don't want me to come back?" Liv raised her eyebrows and asked.

"Of course not—you also agreed?" Adrian turned his eyes and changed the subject.

"Oh. Of course, but I also want a good script." Liv replied quickly, her face flushed slightly, and her eyes turned away.

Adrian couldn't help laughing when she saw it in her eyes. This is her normal reaction. She used to spend a lot of time brewing emotions every time she took a photo. The larger the scale of the photo, the longer the emotional brewing time. But on the other hand, the more she behaved like this, the more she meant it.

This is really interesting. Adrian had been insinuating with them a lot before, and Blanchett and Liv had never agreed or opposed to tease him. Even if Liv falls into the verbal trap, as long as Blanchett is by her side, she will help turn the situation around. Why are you so blunt all of a sudden today? or……

The image of Gwyneth with a big belly flashed through his mind, and Adrian couldn't help laughing out loud in his heart. He immediately looked at Liv and then at Blanchett. The former shrugged and said: She made a questioning expression of "how is it?", but her eyes were a little dodgy, and the latter, um, she showed her meaning in her eyes openly.

Well, although they are one, but compared to Kate, Sarah, or the intimacy of Monica and Sophie, it is still a little bit worse, and some small thoughts are not surprising. It's okay, they have competition and a sense of crisis, so he can enjoy it better, isn't it?

"I'll take it out as soon as possible." Adrian finally said with a smile, while wondering whether to adapt "Elizabeth" by the way.

Oh, by the way, Liv doesn't seem to have a few single-handed and worthy movies. Well, some movies can be brought forward, but he plans to keep her princess title alive.

However, I want to think about it, but it is not easy to actually do it. Obviously, such a script can only be written by him himself, instead of compiling an outline and handing it over to other editors, but he still has a movie to direct at the moment, and the shooting efficiency is further reduced .

The word "cut!" has been yelled by Adrian countless times, but he has basically never reprimanded anyone. We communicated, followed by re-shooting.

It's not that he doesn't want to reprimand, but in this situation, reprimand is obviously useless. After the initial high-efficiency shooting, both the two leading actors and the staff have entered a certain period of fatigue. In addition, many places require Joaquin and Natalie to sing live, so various NGs began to continue. Appear.

This situation is not unheard of, but relatively speaking, it is much rarer. Most movies start slow and then fast. After the running-in period, they immediately enter a stage of high-speed shooting. This is why many directors like to use teams and actors who have cooperated many times. So it’s not easy to solve this problem, especially for live singing, which is very difficult to adjust. In order to achieve a perfect effect, it is necessary to NG a few times, but the number of NGs is too many, and the voices of the two leading actors can’t stand it.

"You should let them train for a while longer. That way they will perform better." Jamie North, a veteran rock music producer who was hired to be in charge of the film's soundtrack, said regretfully.

Adrian is noncommittal about this. Preparation is important, but it doesn’t mean that the longer you prepare, the better you can do it. The key lies in efficiency. If the actor can reach the state required for shooting in 2 months of training, then 4 more The month is meaningless, and may even affect the actor's judgment of the role.

Despite this predicament, Adrian is not in a hurry. He has directed the film for more than ten years, even if it is basically a copy, there will be no shortage at all, so after more than a week, he decisively advanced the location in Tennessee.

"Very nice pastoral scenery, isn't it? No wonder there are always such outstanding country singers as Cash and the Carter family in the south." After checking the equipment. Adrian said this to his assistant director.

It is already late autumn in terms of month, but many of the suburbs of Nashville are still very beautiful. Although Cash was born in Arkansas, he eventually died of illness in Tennessee, in order to commemorate it. The location was chosen here.

"Mr. Kewell, Miss Fanning is also ready." The assistant came over at this moment to bring the last message to Adrian.

Cash and Vivienne had four daughters in the early stage, but only the eldest daughter appeared in the whole movie, and she happened to be about ten years old, so Adrian chose Dakota to play the role. of. Secondly, as a child, Dakota Fanning's acting skills are relatively good, the only problem is that her beautiful blonde hair should be dyed maroon or even black - as for the blue eyes, this only needs to be processed in post Just download it.

"It's true that black hair doesn't suit you, but it's definitely not bad, so don't worry about it, Hannah, just work hard." He explained the last things. Adrian encouraged Dakota again.

She is quite reluctant to dye her hair. After all, now is the time when she is the cutest, and blonde hair is her signature feature. She has created many outstanding images by relying on this, so she is naturally reluctant.

"Yes, Ed, I will definitely do well." Dakota waved his fist with a smile, his eyes opened wide and bright.

No amount of reluctance matters, nor does it matter how the choice is made, does the hair matter, or is it a weighty character in a movie directed by the director of Marvel? You must know that this role has much more roles than the one in "La Vie en Rose", and the director of Miracle is obviously very optimistic about her.

That's how the shooting of the exterior began. From Jacques to Natalie to Rachel and Dakota, they all have their own roles. Of course, the most are Jacques and Natalie, and most of the turning point in the story of Cash's drug rehabilitation with Joan's help needs to be filmed here.

Adrian's filming was not fast, and he always took the trouble to discuss the roles with the two leading actors.

"In addition to liking you, it can also be regarded as a kind of worship. Cash likes the songs of the Carter family very much. It is precisely because he is used to listening to the songs of the Carter family that he has the idea of ​​becoming a singer. He and Joan have more common language."

"Joan likes and avoids at the same time. There is no doubt that she has feelings for Cash, but she cannot accept his love for various reasons, but she is willing to help him at this time. The key to the relationship."

"Don't care about how you perform, as long as you show your understanding, I have the final say on whether the effect is achieved."

"You don't need to deliberately express yourself, be natural, understand, be natural!"

In fact, after coming to the outskirts of Nashville, Jacques and Natalie's state has somewhat recovered, and there is no need for Adrian to repeat it. But Adrian needs to consider more far-reaching issues, such as maintaining this state, gradually recovering in understanding the relationship between Cash and Joan, and returning to the previous state after returning to the studio.

In addition, he also made some adjustments to the shooting content. Except for the first few movies, he will try his best to optimize it later. He also added a few shots of Joan taking care of a rehab Cash, which was very emotional.

Under the dim but warm light, Cash was lying sideways on the bed with a confused expression, his body trembling constantly, and the clothes on his body were wet with sweat, but he kept holding Joan's hand, and Joan was beside him for him. Wipe the body again and again, serious, careful, considerate, and gentle. There is no dialogue in the whole shot, only the body language of the two, together with the warm light and soft music, it gives people an inexplicable warmth and tranquility.

The design of this screen evolved from a certain sci-fi movie in the previous life. As a sci-fi action movie, it doesn’t make much sense to have this kind of scene, but in this kind of plot movie, it was carefully trimmed by Adrian , suddenly showed a difference. Among other things, from the lighting to the composition to the emotional expression of the two of them, this shot echoes the ending scene where Cash married Joan on stage and hugged her up to celebrate with the blessings of fans.

After countless foreshadowings, this scene of caring is equivalent to summarizing the relationship between the two, and then sublimated in the ending, which is smoother and easier to resonate with the audience.

"This place and the ending are my favorite places." Jacques made no secret of his love. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
