King of Hollywood

“Adrian's new film, also his fifth, won the Golden Palm Award at the Cannes Film Festival. The Low Novel was finally released yesterday. Admittedly, the film, which has maintained his style for a long time, is still very appealing, and there are already too many people describing the details everywhere and the structure of the loop narrative, which is no longer mentioned here. The biggest feature of the film is the anti-traditional narrative full of post-modernism, the collage of plots and the subversion of deep patterns that surprise and surprise, and Adrian himself admits, this is an interesting and entertaining film.

But the most surprising thing was not brought about by the film, and at a press conference after the premiere, the curious director himself announced that he was about to start making new films. Well, I know a lot of people who see this place say, "Oh, here we go again." Indeed, the director, who had the title of a workaholic, started making his own new film, and sometimes it was really doubtful that he would die of labor one day. But that's not the most important thing, most importantly, Adrian announced that the new film would be a complete literary and dramatic film.

For God's sake, a director famous for his cult style, and who just won the highest honor at the Cannes Film Festival and the unanimity of critics, wanted to make a complete literary film that was just terrifying to think about. I'm afraid the difference between these two types of films is greater than in the Atlantic Ocean, and I have no idea why Adrian would want to change his style so dramatically.

Well, good directors don't want to limit themselves to one type, they're always eager for breakthroughs, which isn't weird, and Adrian himself thinks he's confining himself to a very small range right now. But it is not necessary to break through, Adrian's previous Redemption of Shawshenk did well, in which the cult style is not obvious, and in which the drama clearly adds a lot of humanistic care, gradual progress is always the best method.

Now suddenly abandon the original style and make a new type of movie in a gambling fashion, if you fail, then the accumulation of what you did before will fail. Especially since his previous fourth film had been frozen for failure, it was difficult to get a good look at his breakthrough.

Well, I hope I was just thinking too much, maybe Adrian would scare the crap out of me, not necessarily. ”

This is a story in The New York Times that basically represents the attitude of the majority of entertainment journalists, which is that they don't like Adrian's literary drama films. After all, the debate over his fourth film has not yet come to a close, because Adrian had hardly ever argued before, and almost everyone thought he had acquiesced in the news of failure.

So a lot of reporters think he's so desperate to try a completely different kind of movie, inspired by the failure of the fourth movie and the success of the fifth movie, that someone would inevitably write ironically: “For Adrian, Golden Palm puts a lot more pressure on him than honor, otherwise he wouldn't want to prove himself in this way. He even claimed that the fourth film had not failed, which would prove itself when it was shown this year, and I really don't understand why he would suddenly say that he was usually either confident in himself or reluctant to admit his failure, and frankly I couldn't see the first point on Adrian. ”

Of course, there is not much sarcasm. Apart from some tabloid journalists who are partly for the sake of petting the crowd, most people have a fair, even sarcasm, and there is a little reporter like The New York Times who has a little blessing at the end. But in any case, their views will not change.

However heated the media discussion, Adrian, as a party, has not responded in the slightest.

“There is no need, the less responsive this is, or it will only allow journalists to flourish. Besides, I haven't revealed the most important part yet, I bet they'll go crazy when they find out.” Adrian said to Claude on the phone, "So instead of worrying about me, think about the company. ”

He has been doing what he planned to do without delay, for example by contacting Hopkins or urging writers to write a script for Real Lies, while exchanging views on the Philadelphia Story over the phone with Damy.

Of course, the most important thing is to talk to Claude about the company, and the acquisition of the record company is already eye-catching, and like the acquisition of the Bosworth Film Industry, they chose a medium-sized but well-established record company. Compared to that time, funding had been sufficient, so the scope of the selection had been expanded considerably. It doesn't matter if the performance is good or bad. The key is the length of the establishment and the culture of the company. What AC Media needs most now is the background.

Beidgrey Records was their goal, and the company had a few scenic moments in the '70s, and had launched some of the most popular singers, and it was said that Madonna had almost been signed by them - of course, it was just said. Beyond that, there are some great records that have been released and produced on classical music, and there are some great producers and singers at full height.

But there was a drop, and by the mid-1980s, because of Baidgrey's series of decision making mistakes and the fact that competitiveness had not always been as good as that of a few major record companies, it had slowly declined. Nevertheless, the company's distribution channels and connections have always been good, as Claude sees them.

After several negotiations, the other side offered a reasonable price, and Claude found it acceptable, so he briefed Adrian. Although Adrian didn't feel much about it, he started thinking about making some good songs, like finding some young boys and combining them?

However, even though the songs are familiar and memorable, he doesn't know how to get them out. Can't he ask a music producer to sing them? Yes, Adrian would play the piano and the guitar would read the five-wire spectrum, but that doesn't mean he could write these songs unbroken and unsuspecting.

Whatever. Wait till Claude fixes the record company. We'll figure it out. To think about it, Adrian, who had no idea, threw it behind his head and started focusing on the second most important thing.

“Very nice, very pretty, but it doesn't match the color of the pants, you can replace it with something darker.” When the shadow flashed out of the dressing room, he sat in a chair waiting for Adrian, who was already bored, to shudder, and carefully weighed up and down and said.

“Really?” Kate turned around a few times and took a shot in the mirror, “I don't think so. ”

“So what do you think, Kate?” Adrian smiled and said, "This kind of lift hasn't happened twice in a while, and he knows what Kate is up to.

Just think, when he gets back to his home in LA, Kate stands in the living room with her arms and looks at him with jealousy and says, "Ah, finally back from your muse goddess? ”

I knew how upset she was.

And Adrian's solution was to resist Kate, take her into the room, throw her into bed, hold her down, and whip her until she couldn't get up. You're welcome to do this because you've been on the phone for a long time, and now instead of just making the most intimate contact. Kate did react as he expected, resting for a few minutes after the first time, and the second time she rolled over and rode him was the best proof.

Although this little diaphragm was so simple to solve, the jealous woman was often unreasonable, so Kate had to lift her bars with him for a while. Adrian will make dating Kate the second most important thing, and it has nothing to do with that.

As Kate continued to change into the dressing room after the audition, Adrian's mouth smiled slightly. Lift the bar back up, she will still listen to her opinions, so don't worry too much.

To think of it, Adrian squeezed his finger, and Monica's figure appeared in her heart. Soon? No, not in a hurry. Everything is better on schedule. There will be bread, milk... there will be.

After shopping, they talked to Kate and went back to the villa to make dinner. Mrs. Galen, like before, had prepared Mexican rice and bacon before leaving, and all they had to do was make some salad and soup.

“Soup or I'm good at it.” After tasting the soup from the small pot, Adrian boasted.

Kate, who cut the tomatoes, hummed softly and threw the chopped tomato dings into a large glass bowl, washing her hands and pouring the seasoning.

“Well, Kate's british-style salad did a good job too.” Adrian grinned and grabbed her waist from behind.

“How does it compare to your muse salad?” Kate gave him a white eye.

“Come on, do you have to use that name?” Adrian sighed a little exaggerated.

“What do you call a jealous woman?” Kate turned her head around Adrian's neck and looked a little serious, with some hesitation and worry flashing in her eyes, "Amy... my friend told me that when a director called his actress Muse... it wasn't a good thing. ”

“Remember what I told you on the phone?” Adrian smiled, reaching out and scratching her nose, "the goddess could only look far most of the time. ”

Well, that's true most of the time.

Kate looked at him with dark eyes that didn't blink and suddenly turned around to get the glass bowl: "Okay, let's have dinner first. ”

Adrian pressed her arm and said, "What, is that enough to end the conversation? ”

“What do you want, Mr. Adrian?” Kate looked at him obliquely.

“I'm going to London soon, and I won't be back in a few months, so...” Adrian's with her, "I thought I'd eat you here first. ”

“Here? You sure you can eat?” Kate suddenly reached under him and grinned.

“Try it and you'll see."
