King of Hollywood

Chapter XX Comments

Should we go through this once?

“Coincidence is undoubtedly the most appropriate word to describe the film, and everything happens because of coincidence, especially when it comes to an unexpected ending. However, the film, which is based on coincidence, is in no way annoying. The clues seemed to have been cleverly pinched by the director, but appeared to be orderly in turmoil, and he had to admit that the director had a very good grasp of multiline narrative skills.” - Italy, The Evening Post.

“This is a typical cut film with a strong personal style and English cold humor. Cut enthusiasts will definitely love it, and they won't expect ‘* *' to be so interesting from beginning to end. But, strangely or surprisingly, the director is an American! It's ironic and comedy that an American director made a completely British style cut. - A famous British film critic, Tony? Ryan.

“Too many coincidences made the film much less viewable, undeniably a set of stories by the director, but these coincidences made him a little mediocre. It's an interesting movie, but it's just fun and good for a break or a pleasure.” - The Figaro, France.

“At this year's Venice Film Festival, except for Martin? In addition to Scorsese's" The Good Guy, "an American film received a lot of attention, and what's interesting is that although the director is American, the film itself is a cut film with a strong British style, which you would definitely think was British if you didn't know it.” - United States, The Hollywood Report.

Basically, film critics and journalists watching at the Fletcher Theatre gave "Two Big Smoke Guns" a good review, except for the French. Even so, the French admitted that it was an interesting and entertaining film. Such a multiline narrative technique is remarkable even after 20 years, let alone now in 1990.

As a result, the number of viewers of the Two Big Smoke Guns quadrupled immediately the following day, and additional screenings were added immediately after consultations between the theatre and the organizers. As a result, cinematographers from several European countries came to the door to obtain local distribution rights to the film, as film critics and journalists quickly gained more visibility over the film festival's notorious Two Big Smoke Guns.

The first person to come to the door was Miramax, an American film company. This movie company is Bob? Weinstein and Harvey? Founded by the Weinstein brothers in the '70s and always known for producing independent films, Hollywood's independent producers are not irrelevant to the Weinstein brothers today.

And that's why Miramax had a particular eye for small films, so the head of the festival first found Adrian. Of course, they were doomed to return without success. After all, attending the festival in the name of independent films was only a cover for Adriana.

After the euphemism, Adrian had a few seconds of regret, and the other party was sincere, and the conditions were not so great for the new director. And he remembers that Miramax, or the Weinstein brothers, were very good at PR, and on several occasions got their films awarded the Oscar Award for Best Film, and if they were given the film, with Miramax's marketing, the distribution fee would certainly be earned.

But the idea stayed in Adrian's head for just a few seconds, so what if he gave it to them? There's no reason to push the benefits out. Besides, if you grow up in the future, you will certainly become an opponent to Weinstein in some ways, and you will have no reason to weaken yourself and grow others. Above all, of course, once a decision is made, it should be sustained, and the three hearts and minds will be empty - one of the things he learned in his previous life.

Next, film companies from other countries came to the door, and Adrian had to deal with it. Who made him participate in the festival in the name of independent films?

“Well, I agree with that. Congratulations, Mr. Brooke.” After an exchange of eyes with LaVerne, Adrian stood up and reached out to the middle-aged man in front of him.

“I'm glad to have the distribution rights to this film, and I think people will love it.” The middle-aged man stood up and smiled and shook Adrian's hand in a gentlemanly manner. Gary Brooke, one of the directors of the Tucnan Film Corporation in the UK for the Venice Film Festival, is a typical Englishman.

“May I ask, Mr. Adrian, how did you… make such a film with such a strong English black sense of humor?” Brooke asked at this time.

Adrian smiled a little: "My grandmother was British and I used to go to London with my parents when I was a kid, and the city impressed me so much that I chose this place to make my first film. ”

“So that's it.” Brooke nodded and lifted his chin slightly up, though still smiling.

Adrian smiled, but his face didn't show up. After sending Brooke out, he turned his head and said to LaVerne: “The British are always so self-conscious that even negotiations have to wait until the end, and...”

He made a gesture and shook his head again, and several British film companies came into contact only at the end, and they were obviously tangled, and the director of this British black humor style movie was an American!

“They get used to it and always like to indulge in the glory of the past without pulling themselves out.” LaVerne shrugged.

Adrian couldn't help laughing, and I didn't expect this guy to be sarcastic.

“He seemed to see something.” LaVerne cautioned at this time.

“It's okay, I invested in it myself, it's not a problem, and sooner or later they'll know.” Adrian shrugged his shoulders irrelevantly, which is one of the reasons he asked LaVerne to help him deal with the big movie companies.

LaVerne stopped talking and got up to say goodbye after packing up. When he was escorted out of the room, Adrian took a long breath, stretched his lazy waist comfortably and came to the balcony.

“Hi, baby, I'm so sorry to have brought you here.” Adrian smiled and sat in a lounge chair, and Kate looked over at the book and said hello.

Kate looked up and whispered nothing.

“What's the matter? Is something wrong?” Adrian asked inexplicably.

“Nothing,” Kate said in an exaggerated tantrum, "I'm just a little self-righteous. ”

Adrian was stunned, but laughed.

“Well, I made a mistake, missing a word, and should add some before the British.” He sat next to her and spread his hand, “I apologize again, okay? ”

Kate hummed softly, flanked her body and continued to flip through the book as if she heard nothing.

Adrian raised her eyebrows and suddenly stopped Kate from holding her back and walked her inside against her shoulders.

“What are you doing! Put me down!” I struggled when I was frightened, my feet kicked and slipped, and my hands pounded on Adrian's waist, until my butt was crushed and squeezed before my voice softened.

Ponton, Adrian leaves Kate in bed and squeezes her fingers and looks at her violently: "Obviously you should take some punishment, my dear Kate. ”

“You... I...” Kate subconsciously reached out and blocked her chest, "Don't mess around, Ed! ”

“It's been a few days, and it's time for more pain, isn't it?” Adrian hey, smiled and pressed over.

“Wait, it's daytime!” Seeing him for real, Kate shrunk back, but how could she escape?

“So what? No law says not during the day. ”

“But... but... this also requires me...”

“Don't worry, you'll agree. ”

“Wait... help! ”

Despite Kate's “long and arduous” struggle, how could she be Adrian's rival with countless women's experiences at first sight, and then lose herself in caressing and provocation? The afternoon sun falls through the balcony and windows, making the view in the room extraordinarily glamorous.

“You're an asshole, Ed.” Kate's soft voice rang, her eyes closed and her back bowed motionless and shrunk in Adrian's arms, seemingly powerless.

“Why do you say that?” Adrian held her from behind and kissed her back neck warmly.

“You can't even move me.” Kate's tone was filled with a little complaining, but more satisfying.

Adrian laughed and didn't talk, just kept warming up with her. The combined experience of his previous life made him understand a woman's body even better, and now the money is just as strong, making Kate desperate with ease.

“By the way, Kate,” Adrian asked suddenly after a while, "How'd you think? Don't forget, I want you to be the actress in the new movie. ”

With a slight tremor in her arms, Kate barely flipped over and looked at Adrian with a sophisticated look: “I don't know, Ed, I... I love you, I want to go, but...”

'Cause of school, and the mother might object, right? ”Adrian smiled gently," I think it's impossible for a student who's willing to go to Oxford to graduate from high school; similarly, a student who's willing to go to Oxford won't be able to go to Stanford. I can persuade Ms. Judy if you want. ”

“Stanford? But I went to Oxford to study literature.” Kate poked her finger through his chest.

“Stanford School of Humanities and Natural Sciences is good too," Adrian continued to persuade, “and if you think about Hollywood, I think you should go to Southern California Film Academy or California Academy of Arts - Kate, I think you're with me. ”

Sweet words always work, and Kate hugs Adrian after a few seconds of silence: "Ed, can you wait till I graduate from high school? I'll definitely think about it, and I want you by my side. ”

“Sure.” Adrian nodded and kissed her head down on her fine clavicle, "But let me take some interest first. ”

“Wait! No... you can't... ah! ”
