King of Hollywood

Chapter 65 Horseshoe

Smell the Fragrant Woman was launched at Weldell Boys' High School in early October, though Al? Pacino's exterior scene at school was only a few short shots, but he came to the crew early to cover it. As a result, his arrival attracted a large number of students, and if the school did not help to maintain order, he did not know what the confusion would look like. Even so, over the course of the afternoon, only a few panoramic mirrors of the campus were taken outside Pacino.

“Did you see that? That's the charm of Godfather Corleone.” Adrian joked during the break.

“If I knew this was going to happen, I'd wait for you to finish shooting.” Pacino was a little overwhelmed.

“It doesn't matter, this kind of problem is encountered by any drama group, don't overestimate it.” Adrian didn't care.

Pacino was ready to leave when he had finished filming these shots and the students on the lookout had left. Although the crew still has a lot of shots to shoot today, it's basically night time, so Adrian dropped him off at the school door.

Surprisingly, by the time we got to the door of the school, several reporters had been there, and immediately after seeing Pacino, they were asking questions, and the smell of these guys was really sensitive.

“Pacino, did you come to Weldell Boys' High School today to make a new film? ”

“It's said that this time it's with ghosts. Adrian? Cowell cooperated. Is that it? ”

“What character are you in, Al? ”

Journalists asked questions and delivered various recording devices to him in the first place. Pacino frowned but did not show an unhappy look and kept smiling and answered: "Yes, I did work with Adrian on the new film, although for the first time I didn't know him very well, but his excellent script touched me and I really liked the character. But if you want to hear the story, I'm sorry I can't tell you anything, gentlemen, but I had a deal with the crew. After all, Adrian is here, and you can ask him. ”

Adrian, who was about to go backwards, shook his head laughingly and helplessly, reaching out and saying hello to the reporters. Journalists had to be stunned. Although the name of the ghost director had been quite prominent for more than a year, few photographs of him had appeared in the media and few people had interviewed him, so the journalists had not returned to God for a while.

It's no wonder that the public wants to see all kinds of gossip about bright stars. Few people pay attention to film directors except senior fans, so entertainment journalists have relatively little coverage of directors.

The professionalism prompted journalists to react quickly, with several of the immediate turning microphones aimed at Adrian. Although Adrian is known to be only 23 years old, he is still surprised by his youth when he sees the real person.

“As far as I know, your first two works have been very successful, and the third is about to be released, why are you so anxious to produce the fourth, Mr. Adrian? ”

“How did you produce two outstanding pieces in a row in a little over a year, Mr. Adrian? I've heard that the third work coming out recently is also very well received. What do you think of this? ”

“Why did you think to invite Al to a new movie? Can I talk to you about your thoughts? Mr. Adrian."

Faced with these questions, Adrian quickly made a restless gesture: “I wanted to work with Al a long time ago, and his performance in the Godfather series has always been my favorite, and it was really exciting to be able to invite him this time. Although the new film is a European film, I guarantee it will never be less exciting than the original. As for why we started planning the fourth part of the third piece before it showed, you all know that inspiration doesn't stop in your head forever. ”

Although he hasn't had much to do with the media for more than a year, Adrian, who talks in silence, is not afraid of such a scene, except that Pacino, who is still surrounded by most journalists, inevitably has some minor depression, especially when watching him continue to be questioned by journalists after boarding the car.

But when Adrian turned around and walked to school, this little depression dissipated. Instead of showing up outside like a big star and being chased by a puppy, mastering everything behind the scenes is what he wants most.

Soon after, when the night came, the crew shot the night, a group of students preparing to make a prank on the headmaster the next day, and Charlie, the man with the character, just saw the scene.

“Good. Let's do it again. Be careful not to make mistakes, Caspar.” Adrian at the back of the camera confirmed the lens and then asked everyone to take another shot as a backup.

Charlie's in his early 20s. Casper? Jacques' young actor, recommended by the corner selection department, has run a few dragon sets in several small cost pieces, and his performance experience is pretty good. But the main reason he was selected was because he looked more like a little white face.

Since this character is a student, it is naturally better to find a handsome and handsome actor. As for whether the other party will be labeled for eating by the face in the future, it doesn't matter about Adrian.

After about two business days of shooting the exterior of the school, two more business days of shooting Lieutenant Colonel Frank's play at home were completed and the crew moved directly to New York to prepare for the exterior shooting. It was supposed to be shooting shots in the studio first, waiting to get out of New York at the end, but Adrian found it inappropriate after a discussion with the assistant director. If we save New York for the last time, then at least until after Thanksgiving, when the first snow would have fallen, which was not the season in the script, so Adrian decided to go to New York first.

Fortunately, all the exterior sites had been contacted long before the shooting started, and just a few adjustments of time were needed, and management was doing well in that regard. Nevertheless, filming remains problematic, as the Waldorf Hotel requires the crew to film only at night in order not to affect their normal operation.

It doesn't really matter, the Waldorf Hotel doesn't have much of an outlook anyway, but I'm having trouble applying for a blockade on the street for a racetrack. After a while, community agencies came to believe that this was not the right place. After a while, public welfare agencies came to feel that it was not the right place. It took almost a day's work to get rid of these things. Then Adrian grew out of breath and it was really not a pleasure to deal with these guys.

Because there was nothing + demanding the use of dead maggots as props when shooting "Shawshenk's Redemption," he was not serious about these public welfare organizations, he didn't expect to see what was good about each other in New York, but he was lucky enough not to delay shooting by the Hudson River in Brooklyn District.

“Who is he?” The police officer standing in front of Red Ferrari looked at Charlie and asked Colonel Frank sitting in the cockpit.

“My boy, Charlie,” said the colonel, shaking his head with his eyes open, not like a blind man at all, "he kept telling me to drive out, can I let him down? ”

The young policeman laughed, and he thought about it and said, "Okay, I'll let you go, but on one condition, get the car back to the driveway, okay? ”

The two sides spoke a few more words, and the atmosphere became more relaxed under the deliberate guidance of the Lieutenant Colonel, and soon the police officers left. When the police car left, the spiritual lieutenant colonel suddenly became depressed, as if something had left his body.

“Excellent!” Adrian couldn't help but scream and clap and clap.

Al Pacino is an old skeleton, and after spending more than a dozen days in a blind house, he quickly summed up how to perform: his eyes don't focus when he sees anything. And he's in a very fast state, and when he starts to lose his temper, you'll never find another character in him, and he's the Colonel Frank, the grumpy deputy to General Barton. Sometimes even resting is immersed in the character, like walking with a foldable cane, or talking to someone and looking elsewhere.

This professionalism is naturally admirable, so when Adrian applauded, the crew applauded. Pacino on Ferrari wiped his face back a little, smiled at everyone and walked out of the car, but from the unexpected trance between the eyebrows, he somehow completely disengaged himself from the character.

Adrian didn't say much, so he patted him on the shoulder and let everyone rest for almost half an hour before continuing. The main shot in New York City is this racetrack, and all that's left is pieces of footage, like shopping with Charlie or arguing. In filming that controversial scene, Adrian deliberately took such a shot that the colonel accidentally fell into the flower bush after a small friction with Charlie. Unfortunately, this shot was an accident in the original version of Smell the Incense Woman, so Adrian had to steal the fun.

Because of the mess, the actors had to change their clothes and shoot on different streets. In this way, a lot of fans and reporters were quickly attracted. The fans were fine. Ken listened to the staff of the drama group and the reporters were troublesome. They always tried to find a way to listen to some news, and Adrian was their target besides Pacino.

After the last interview outside the school, a lot of people were surprised at Adrian, and his third piece was still not on the air, and he started making new films again, and he was still famous for Al? Pacino's cooperation is incredible. More importantly, the guy is a newcomer to the entertainment industry for less than two years and has already won awards at two major European film festivals.

The public's curiosity towards him is thus much greater than before, and naturally, the motivation for entertainment journalists has increased considerably. So, in order to finish shooting in New York in the shortest possible time, Adrian simply drew all his attention to himself.

“This is a near-perfect film - I'm not saying, of course, that my work is impeccable, I mean, it starts to make you feel depressed and bored, and when it builds to its peak, it comes out very quickly as the plot spills out, and at this point, I do a great job in this film. ”
