King of Hollywood

"Compared with the appearance in the photos, Adrian is much tougher in real life - of course, this is not unrelated to the lack of decent photos in the newspaper. You can't describe him as handsome. Although Adrian is young, he has a saying A self-confident temperament that does not come out, when you look at him, he will give you a feeling as if nothing can stump him.

We talked for about 30 minutes. Adrian always had a smile on his face, and he spoke in a leisurely manner, which made you attracted unconsciously. I seldom interrupted throughout the interview, and he was always talking, very talkative, and it was easy for people to become his listeners.

"Until now, sometimes I am still surprised that I would pick up the guide tube and become a director and a filmmaker" when he said this, the emotion on his face was obvious. Even so, I can still hear the confidence in his tone. As mentioned above, even though it is his first attempt to be a director, he still believes that he can do well.

Adrian did not shy away from his debauchery when he was young and frivolous. He admitted frankly that at that time, like all young people, he was clubbing and playing around all night, and never thought about his future. It just made him more addicted to alcohol and couldn't extricate himself.

Fortunately, he finally stood up again. According to his words, he suddenly woke up that day without any warning, and then began to plan for the future and plunged into it. Then, what we saw today is amazing Adrian.

'I can't describe the feeling, all kinds of ideas are constantly coming out, and I have to work hard to realize them, as if they have accumulated to a certain extent, they must burst out. I don't know why there is such an accumulation, maybe it is because of my previous irregular life? However, it is undeniable that it is very pleasant to realize these ideas. ’ Adrian explained his ‘crazy’ behavior in this way. When he talked about this topic, he seemed very excited and his tone was faster. He seemed to have endless ideas on movies, and inspirations would come out at any time.

I can't comment on him. He is different from all the directors I have come into contact with. He is full of energy and confidence, but also humble and polite. I know this article is not enough to fully describe the youngest Oscar-nominated director for best director, but these are my most honest thoughts. "

After Haggis Painter's interview was published in the "Washington Post", it immediately set off a wave of enthusiasm, and the public's interest in Adrian became even higher. The Best Newcomer Award at the Venice Film Festival, the Jury Prize at the Berlin Film Festival, the Oscar nomination for Best Director, and the high box office of these three films, as well as his absurd past, add up layer upon layer as if to create There were circles of dazzling halos on Adrian's head.

"The whole of Hollywood seems to be revolving around this prodigal son." Some media said so enviously.

Even the executives of the major film companies who knew Adrian a little bit were still unavoidably surprised by this trend.

"It's like finding a new idol, except this time it's a young director, not a big-screen star," says Disney's Eric Cahill.

"He must have done it on purpose. At least in my opinion, everything he does has a purpose." Spielberg, who is about to start shooting "Jurassic Park", was talking to his friends about Adrian When I said so bluntly.

Well, Spielberg is right, this is indeed what Adrian showed on purpose. As Lavern said, if you can’t fix it, then think in a different direction, although what he wants to say is to simply make a big publicity, let yourself lay a foundation in the public’s mind, and then wait until next year to reach a higher level-if Ah If Derian's three films can indeed be guaranteed in quality.

And if used properly, maybe you can win a trophy at the 64th Oscar. You don’t need to think about the important awards of best film, best director, best actor and best supporting actor, but you can win for best adapted screenplay, best soundtrack, best editing, and best photography.

However, Adrian obviously thought more far-reaching than him, and this sudden incident gave him a better idea. After hearing it for the first time, Lavern also thought it was feasible, and the effect was good.

In addition, he has a strange request: "The Shawshank Redemption" cannot win any awards!

"Because I want to create a classic and perfect work." When Laverne asked him why, Adrian said so. Although Lavern still didn't understand, he didn't continue to explain.

In Adrian's memory, the reason why "The Shawshank Redemption" left a heavy mark in film history and was hailed as the most perfect movie is not only its own quality, but also the title of "The Uncrowned King" is also an important factor one.

If it hadn't been fruitless because of hitting "Forrest Gump", "The Shawshank Redemption" wouldn't get so many sympathy points, and it is these sympathy points that added a very important one to "The Shawshank Redemption". The weight-most people have compassion for those who have lost after fierce battles, and whenever they make comparisons, they will always unconsciously favor the brave loser in their hearts-thus winning in the history of film. high position.

Now, "The Shawshank Redemption" appeared 2 years earlier because of Adrian, but it happened to hit "The Silence of the Lambs" again. It is obvious that several of the most important awards cannot be won, so it is better to simply give up all of them, and then That puts the film on the throne of "The Uncrowned King" as I remember it, and it's also very helpful for Adrian's adjusted new plan.

Alright, let's put this matter aside for now, anyway, the Oscars will have to wait until the end of March, and we should focus on the filming of "Pulp Fiction".

Because of the continued high level of public attention to him, Adrian has also become more and more busy, not only busy filming but also busy preventing those reporters from secretly filming the plot and so on-fortunately, most of the shots are indoors.

Although it was a bit hard, he didn't take it to heart. Since he decided to release part of the accumulated reputation, he naturally had to bear the corresponding pressure. Fortunately, there are bad things as well as good things. For example, probably stimulated by Adrian, Willis suddenly came to the state and finished the filming three days ahead of schedule; for example, many people congratulated him by phone, Claude, Godfather As well as some former friends, what surprised him even more was that Kate eagerly came from the college to visit the class, so Adrian specially comforted her in the hotel that night.
