King of Hollywood

Memory Fragment. This is Adrian's new piece. After Richie, he reached out to Christopher, the best storyteller of the 21st century. On Nolan!

The film, which Nolan made in 2000, burned the brain cells of many fans at the time, and the whole story wasn't very complicated or brilliant, but it turned out to be a perfectly flavorful film under Nolan's clips.

The film consists of two clues, a reverse narrative, with a color lens; and a secondary narrative, with a black and white lens. The two lenses are exchanged every 5 minutes, all the way down and fused together at the end, indicating that the beginning is both the end and the beginning. Such a staggering way of behaving, coupled with the fact that every lens has a lot of details - for example, Leonard is a slightly fat middle-aged man sitting in a wheelchair talking about an insurance client with the same transient amnesia, but the moment the nurse walks past the patient and switches lenses, the person sitting in the wheelchair becomes Leonard himself!

Adrian didn't notice this the first time he saw it, he was impressed with the film because it switched too quickly and there were a lot of clues that kept him from analyzing it, and he finally noticed it two or three times later.

In short, it was applauded that, despite the complex clues that led to the film's ultimate harvest of only about 40 million box offices - still a lot of money at a relative cost of 5 million - Nolan had gained a very high reputation, and Nolan had thus laid his place in Hollywood. Adrian had heard such a review in his previous life, and if Spielberg was the most storytelling director of the late 20th century, the first storytelling director of the early 21st century would undoubtedly be Nolan! As I said before, the story itself is important, but so is the storytelling approach.

So Adrian didn't hesitate to choose this film for his second work, and as for Nolan, I'm sorry. Making that decision didn't upset him or anything, as he said at the beginning of the script, he didn't care that he had gone through too much. Adrian is well aware that 99 percent of the world's people would make the same choices as they do if they faced a situation like this: they had a movie library in their head, they had certain shooting and production skills, they knew many things about the future, and they had start-up funds.

Soon after Halloween in 1990, the popular "Two Big Smoke Guns" in the movie market went offline, accompanied by a $40 million box office. Three days later, the UK went offline, and the box office almost set the UK's record at around £30 million, plus a few other European countries that just showed up, the global box office could be close to 100 million!

This was the early 1990s, when the dollar was much more valuable than it was 20 years later, although Hollywood had a lot of small, high-cost box office films that could return as little as 1: 90. It was surprising enough for many people, even Adrian was surprised at the beginning. Since he chose this film to be a virgin and naturally remembered the information clearly, the film had almost 20 million box offices in the UK, but only a few million in the US, and now the North American box office has almost 100 times more than doubled, which is incredible.

Thinking about it, he also released that the United States had an interesting feature, that most films from outside North America wouldn't be too tall here, and that Americans didn't seem to be interested in films from other countries. Not surprisingly, as early as the late 19th century and early 20th century, the North American film market was dominated by European films, and people went after French and Italian films. The United States Government finally had to issue a decree banning cinemas from broadcasting European films and then vigorously supporting local films, which led to the rise of Hollywood. Nearly a hundred years later, with the growing power of the nation and the development of the Hollywood film industry, Americans naturally began to take pride in themselves, leaving other countries' films out of sight.

That's Adrian compared to Guy? Richie's biggest advantage is that he's American, he's got his own movie company, and he's got a pretty good general manager, not to mention the Venice Film Festival, who won the Best Virgin Award. Besides that, it's also important, it's 1990! This kind of film with a lot of information, multiline narrative, but not complex, is much more appealing to the public than it is in nine years, not to mention it's a good story, and it doesn't exist because time or circumstances are unacceptable. Together, these factors make it normal to get such a high box office.

Calculating, apart from all the costs - costs, issuance fees, distribution of exhibitors, taxes, etc. - Adrian could get at least about $20 million, doubling his personal property directly, and no wonder Claude would say it was abusive. And because of that, Adrian, who had already faded out of the sight of film company executives after the Venice Film Festival, came back to them again, and the young director was very interested in the circle, and occasionally mentioned during party chats.

It's just that they haven't found a chance to get in touch with Adrian yet, because he's already brought his team to a small town on the outskirts of Los Angeles to start making new movies before the two Big Smoke Guns go offline.

“I need you to have an indomitable emotion, you understand, Dan?” At the door of the town motel, Adrian explains to Dennis what to shoot, "you think you already know who killed your wife, and now you just want to kill him. Of course, you still have to be calm and faintly friendly when he calls you, if you can see him with a little haze in your eyes. ”

And after that, he turned his head and looked at the short man around him: “Joe, as for you, I need you to carry a little implicit scorch, and you've noticed something's wrong, but you can't be sure how bad it's going to get, since you're hoping to keep fooling Leonard like it used to. ”

“Simply put, this character is in a state of hesitation and fortunate, is that it?” Joe with the chin? Pantoriano thought about it and said.

“Well,” Adrian nodded, "if that's okay, we'll start -- oh, yeah, Bowen? ”

The photographer quickly came over and said, "I'm here, Mr. Director. ”

“I want you to move from here to here...” Adrian boxes the photographer and explains, "... and pulls out the full body of the two of them, you understand? ”

After the photographer nodded his head, he clapped his hands and looked around: "Attention, everybody, move, and, ladies and gentlemen, could you give us some space? ”

The people watching in front of the motel laughed, and three, three, two, two, split.

“Memory Shards, scene 24, act 112.” With the sound of the recording, the lens started to run.

“Did I mention my illness to you...” Leonard said gesturing to the administrator behind the window.

“Stop every day.” The administrator shrugged his shoulders and looked at him with a funny look.

Leonard had obviously become accustomed to this situation by putting a photograph directly in front of him: "Is this man here? ”

“Just arrived.” The janitor looked closely at the hand and said, as if in response to his words, a passionate voice came from the door: “Hey, Lenny. ”

Leonard turned his head and a short man with glasses looked at him half open with a glass door and smiled.

“It's Leonard.” Leonard's faceless correction, he walked over quickly: “I think I should have mentioned my illness. ”

“Every time.” Shorty men still smile.

“Cut!” stood behind the camera and watched Adrian shout.

“Dan, your face is still missing,” he looked at Dennis and said out loud, "Leonard's not just no face, he's just hiding his emotions down there, starting over! ”

And then less than three minutes later, he screamed again, "Cut! Where's your invisibility? Start over!”

“Cut! Enough concealment, but the haze in my eyes is too white, start over! ”

“Cut! You have to be suspicious, understand? You have a suspicion about everything around you because of memory problems. Start over! ”

“Cut! Start over! ”

“Cut!”

At first, Adrian would try to explain to Dennis that he didn't do it again after a few ng times, just repeatedly shouting "action!” and “cut.” By the end, even Joe felt a little over the top, but Dennis remained calm and had no superfluous expression except for shooting over and over again.

Finally, after the 76th consecutive ng ng, Adrian finally announced his passage, but without waiting for everyone to relieve himself, he took the camera from Bowen: “Let's do it again, this time with my own hands. ”

The decision almost left no one present, but watched Dennis and Joe, the lead characters, return to their positions, and the staff had to work hard.

Luckily, because Dennis stayed successful just now, the shoot didn't take much effort, it just passed once, and from the angle of Adriano's smiling mouth, it worked pretty well.

“Rest now for 30 minutes.” This wonderful phrase finally sounded, almost simultaneously, and even Dennis, who had been quiet, was weary after sitting down. After all, it would be unbearable for anyone to shoot a lens repeatedly for nearly a hundred times in a row.

“Why is Eddie so much tougher today than he was the other day? Was that the same thing you guys did in that movie?” Joe Pantoriano walked to Dennis with a plastic water bottle. After he promised to perform, he did a little research on Adrian, and after joining the crew, he had a good relationship with everyone. As an actor who had played a lot of characters in the acting world for 10 years, he was also a little tired but much better than Dennis.
