King of Hollywood

Chapter 31 End of the year

Adrian, who has seen countless movies and dramas, would certainly not know what that name means if he were just an American fan. Sarah Michelle? Gayla, one of the few high-quality idols recognized in the United States in the late 1990s. Quality idols, even young actresses who are beautiful, vibrant and healthy, have no negative rumors that parents and children alike like.

Most of their performances are youth-type films or television dramas, and the radiation may not be widespread, limited to North America, but rather popular. Adrian remembers the most clearly Sarah related films, no more than "Scream 2" - yes, the sequel to the youth horror film he sold to Worldwide - and "I Know What You Did Last Summer" - which is also a youth horror film, and the relationship with Scream Scream is complicated.

But Jean-Sa * * was also on the throne of a TV show called "Buffy the Vampire Hunter," a TV show that blended adolescent troubles with vampire-like x-archive styles. Though not as popular as the dying vampire novel 20 years later, it is also one of the classic performances. As a quality idol, Sarah's beauty is unquestionable, she has the rare goose face of a Westerner, and the five officials are also quite sophisticated, which is that there is a bit of gloom between her eyebrows.

Of course, now she's just a little girl, 13 years old, with a fat baby in her face, she looks cute, and she's already got a daughter-in-law, but how charming it is, but she doesn't look that exciting at the restaurant.

Adrian, who was preparing, glanced at Sarah, who was hurrying her time with her mother against the line. Listen to LaVerne, Roseland, who is also an agent, hesitated to read the script because it was an irrevocable cut film, but Sarah convinced her mother. Although she didn't know how to convince her, Adrian guessed something, and in his previous life he knew a little something about Sarah's family.

Maybe I can help her. Adrianmo thought so with her chin. She's still a little Lori, but Lori always grows up, isn't she? Besides, in my own plan...

Forget it, for the time being, it's not enough to get away from the popularity and fame you want. Adrian made a decision in his heart. It doesn't matter, at least now.

“Scene 178, Act 231.” With the sound of the recording, the baffle snapped down and the studio entered the shooting state again.

Although Sarah's play was added temporarily and would be discarded in the later edits, it doesn't mean that it's so-so when it's filmed. It's two things, Adrian knows that what he needs is more than just reproduction. He wants to be relaxed, but he absolutely won't allow it. Besides, he doesn't want Sarah to see anything at this time.

“Cut!” Adrian made a gesture after shouting again, “Sarah, you can rest now. ”

“Mr. Director, am I not doing well?” Sarah asked hastily, his cheeks were full of tension and anxiety.

“Don't worry, don't worry, it's not great, but it's already good.” How many times has it been since Adrian held his hands up and pressed them in vain? It can be seen from here that she is very concerned about the job. Yeah, right, acting's just a job for her.

“Listen, Sarah, you're not entirely familiar with the role yet, so you don't have to worry about it so much. Sometimes, the more you want to play her, the easier it is, okay?” Adrian comforted himself by touching her head: “You've done a great job, now go ahead and taste it and wait until tomorrow. You've also played several roles, and you should know you want to listen to the director on the set. ”

When he just reached out, her body slightly leaned back, but when he really put his hand on her head, she stopped moving.

“I see, Mr. Director.” Sarah nodded and went to Mother's.

“Well, ladies and gentlemen, Sarah's rested, and you're not ready to go, 15 minutes later.” Adrian added at this point that the news suddenly gave rise to a sigh of sigh. Of course, they knew it wouldn't change Adrian's decision, so they sighed and had to hurry to rest.

In fact, if Adrian wanted to, he could have shot Sarah for the most part on the first day and ended the next day. The character he added to her was Kate's sister, a bit of an autistic little girl under her care, because the scene was still in the room, except for some piecemeal shots about Dennis.

But it also has the advantage that some of the shots are already done before Thanksgiving, and Adrian has more room to play as he inserts the new scene, which, coupled with the unnecessary use of the later stage, makes the shooting even more unbridled and unaffected by the original scene.

But the problem is that the time is too tight, two days is enough for him to kick out the script, the shooting is not fully shaped in his head, so after the first day of intermittent shooting, let Sarah rest, wait until after today's progress to find a way to complete the scene, it's just one more day.

Time always passes quickly, and three days winks are gone, and Adrian's ad hoc play is basically finished. Because the whole crew was quite cooperative, nothing went wrong, and even took advantage of intermittent shots of several formal plots.

“Nice to work with you, Sarah, you're a good actor.” Adrian shook the little girl's hand and then stretched out to Roseland, "You have an excellent daughter, ma'am. ”

“Thank you, Mr. Director, Sarah is my pride.” Roseland said excitedly, holding her daughter in one hand.

Sarah's performance over the past three days has been remarkable, not because of how well she acted, but because she took her attitude very seriously. Not only did I have no complaints about the repeated shooting, but I did it meticulously every time, and even once I went downstairs, I accidentally twisted my foot and stuck to finish the shooting before it was painful - luckily, it didn't bother me.

In the end, she was impressed by everyone, and Kate praised the girl privately for her resilience while making a big difference to her. As for Adrian, it is natural to take care of the little girl.

“Haggis, they're going back to Los Angeles, and I'll let them take you back.” Adrian sends the mothers and daughters to the studio to use the front door of the house and greets Haggis, the assistant who is preparing the car.

As she walked them to the front and rear of the car, Adrian was preparing to go back, looking back from time to time at his Sarah suddenly escaping her mother's hand and running back like the wind.

“Forget something?” Adrian reveals unexpected divinity.

“No... I'm just...” Sarah gasped slightly, looking at Adrian for seconds before she owed her debt slightly: “I'm sorry, Mr. Adrian. ”

“Oh?” Adrian laughed, "If you apologize for what happened that day, I accept. Actually, it's nothing. I can understand how you feel. Remember what I told you? Things are gonna be okay. ”

Sarah opened her mouth and seemed to want to say something, but hesitated for half a while and just said softly: "Thank you, you're a good man. ”

Oh, shit. Can't we change the word? Adrian was depressed for a while and then felt her hands on her waist, and Sarah suddenly hugged him up and even buried her head in his chin!

It lasted almost 10 seconds before she let go, smiled at Adrian and turned to her mother. Adrian beamed for a moment and flashed a little surprise in her eyes, she... found out?!

How is that possible, she is only a 13-year-old child, and everyone is hiding well... well, not so well, but in any case she shouldn't... well, maybe she's just speculating and not sure, but I underestimated her, after all, she is a very young child. Adrian shrugged his shoulders and left the matter behind. If anything, he'll have to work on it later.

After Sarah left, everything was back on track, because the previous three days had accumulated, and it had taken one day and a day and a half, respectively, to film Dennis and Kate in the room against each other, as well as those piecemeal shots. Then, Adrian's second piece was a smooth mirror seal.

The next step is naturally to break up the crew and prepare for later work. Although everyone has just passed Thanksgiving, Adrian is still tired of compensating the little girl for three days of uselessness.

And it's time for Kate to go back to London. She's been in Los Angeles for half a month, and even though high school graduation isn't a problem, it doesn't mean she can be blatantly absent. Besides, it's not easy for her to decide to apply to the California Academy of Arts.

Of course, before leaving, the two of them had to party in the villa like they did in Venice, and the young Kate, who was moistened by Adrian, became increasingly fascinated in this regard. Especially since we made a small breakthrough the last time we shared a bath, this time the two of us played harder, and if we didn't consider the cold weather, we might try to experience it in the garden.

Well, if you don't talk about it, you'll have to be separated. After that, Adrian rested for two or three days, and then stuck his head in the company's editing room and started the late editing.

He could have had two months to make the late production, but because Sarah was delayed by a few days, plus Christmas and New Year this month, and had to apply to the Berlin Film Festival in advance, he had a maximum of one and a half months to make the late production.

It may be said that this is at least half a month longer than the Two Big Smoke Guns, and should be enough anyway, but the problem is that the later stages of Memory Shards require a lot more kung fu than the Two Big Smoke Guns, and a month and a half is still not enough. What annoys Adrian even more is that he has to sit in front of the typewriter for two or three hours every day, except for the clip, which he volunteered and was not forced to do.

I'm fucking crazy. Adrian said that in his heart more than once. But every time it's like drinking.

Starting at Christmas!
