King of Hollywood

Chapter 144 Candidates for the main character

“Are you sure this is a good idea, Richard?” Adrian looked at the middle-aged man sitting in front of him after a little careful reading of the script in his hand and careful reflection.

The other has a very light, short hair with oval glasses, and the eyes behind the lenses are a little small but very godly. This is Richard, who wrote the script "Four Weddings, One Funeral"? Curtis, Mike? Neville eventually found this famous British comedy writer to do it.

“Yes, that would show a more open side of Americans, which is in contradiction to previous conservatives, and naturally becomes more interesting.” Richard explained.

Adrian's fears didn't show up, Curtis was writing in full accordance with the outline he had set, and he did a good job of detail and humor, at least in terms of the script, the whole story was as interesting as the original.

“Well, that's okay, but Mike has to converge a little while shooting, otherwise I may not be able to convince the chosen actress.” Adrian thought about it and said.

“Who are you going to choose as the lead actress?” Neville couldn't help but show his curiosity.

Adrian laughed and changed his posture before continuing: "That's what I thought about the male and female lead. The male lead. I'm going to have Dennis? Nate was, yes, the kid who played an important role in Two Big Smoke Guns and Low Volume Novels. ”

Speaking of which, he reached out and made a gesture to Neville who wanted to talk: "Don't worry, Mike, will you listen to me? First of all, he was also British, and I think the gossip reporters knew that very well; in fact, he was the lead actor in Memory Fragment and knew how to play the lead actor; and finally, as someone who promoted him with one hand, I knew how plastic his acting was. I am fully confident that he is capable of this role. ”

After a pause, Adrian glanced at Neville and said, “If you're ever in doubt, Mike, you can schedule an audition. ”

Neville and Curtis exchanged their eyes and nodded, “Okay, I'll arrange it. ”

He knew very well that scheduling auditions was Adrian's biggest concession. After all, he provided the funds, he provided the ideas for the script, and he had the right to speak for the star.

I hope Dennis is as plastic as he says. Neville thought of it that way, and then looked at Adrian and said, "So, what about the actress? ”

“I'm going to invite Julia? Roberts starred," Adrian smiled a little, "and if you'd been more careful, you could see that I had taken into account a lot of the characters she'd played in my setup. ”

Curtis next to him immediately turned a white eye, and based on his settings, who could tell if it didn't?

“Are you really going to invite her to the actress?” Neville shows off his surprise.

Not only has Julia gained tremendous popularity in the United States, but it is also popular internationally with many people, so Neville will be very interested in working with Julia.

“Yes, I intend to go back to Los Angeles after Halloween and invite myself.” Adrian nodded, "I had enough confidence to convince her to take over the role. ”

“Why not now? It's at least a week away from Halloween, right?” Neville asked without even thinking about it, and with embarrassment, the question was obviously somewhat abrupt.

“You know, trailers.” Adrian didn't care and shrugged after sighing.

Just a few days ago, the trailer for "Smell the Fragrant Woman" was shown on major North American television stations, as it had been previously revealed on paper media, so it jumped slightly upwards on the day.

This trailer is actually the second edition, and the first edition was made a few months ago, but as things got worse, Adrian took the time to re-edit it before going back to London to make the later edition. In the second edition, he cleaned up the main line well, appeared more concise and gave a more intuitive impression of the blind colonel, especially the last two shots, and the colonel drank and said, "If it were five years ago, I would have come here with a flame * * machine”, “I hear words like ‘leader's bassinet’? Well, the cradle would collapse if the branch was broken, and it would have collapsed here, and it would have collapsed”, which was very shocking.

Nevertheless, the impact of the trailer was somewhat less than satisfactory, and although it attracted a lot of viewers, the comments were mixed. If the Tango clip had just been aired, most of the American media would have supported him, but only 50 per cent of the trailers were after that.

“From the trailer, you can see more or less that Adrian didn't get away with the old movie style.” There is such a statement.

“Trailers are nice, but a good trailer doesn't mean a good movie.” This is also the case.

“I was worried that Al was likely to play a hard-won role.” There is also such a statement.

If it's not depressing, it won't be possible. Adrian figured it out a long time ago, presumably because he wants to highlight the character of Pacino, so the cut lenses are quite stretchy, so it's more coarse, so...

It was a bit of a laugh, but Adrian didn't take it personally, and the movie hasn't shown yet. However, the British entertainers, who had just dispersed, once again surrounded the studio and the hotel where he was staying. So, the troubled Adrian still lives in the studio, and only when he needs to talk to Neville about his work, like today, will he avoid journalists coming out of nowhere else.

“I understand.” Knowing what he was saying, Neville nodded.

“That's it, anyway, the final draft of the script is only a few days away, you can't let me take an incomplete script to impress her, can you?” Adrian jokes, "You can start the preparations just in time, and I'll have someone from the company come and assist you. ”

Once confirmed, Adrian resigned, and the prep for "Four Weddings, One Funeral" was basically no longer a big deal, as long as Julia agreed to perform. To think of it, Adrian Ben o had to look forward to seeing Julia again, waiting for himself… seemed a little longer.

But before that, there's something else to deal with, and there's only a little tail left in the late Howard Manor, which would be great if it could be done by Halloween. And there's Halloween.

The reason we chose to go back to Los Angeles after Halloween was to invite Julia, apart from the late movies and not wanting to be seen by reporters at this time, and more importantly - to spend Halloween with Emma.

“Candy Oh," the little guy in his arms waved the colorful candy in his hand, giggling and looking excited.

She was wearing a white lace dress, red leather shoes on white fleece socks, beautiful wings made of paper on her back and a star haircut on her head, cute as an angel. Emma doesn't know what Halloween is, but she doesn't stand in the way of Adrian's pull, knocking on someone else's door, and then stretching her hand out straight: "Candy."

Even if it's so straightforward, it saves the last half of the phrase "still a prank”, but the good looks and the milky words make all the knocked families happy to take out the candy.

“Careful, it's falling.” Adrian's eyes quickly caught the candy falling from Emma's hand, but a few fell to the ground and jumped and disappeared.

Emma lowered her head and searched for the missing candy under the illumination of the street lamp. She turned a few times with her rounded eyes, like finding some new fun. Happily, she swayed in front of Adrian with a candy and suddenly let go of her hand.

Not realizing what kind of Adrian immediately reached for it, without waiting for him to talk, two or three more candies rolled down.

“Emma" glanced at the little guy in her arms, although Adrian still caught them all.

Probably because he was wearing a mask, the little guy didn't have a frightened look on his face, and he was still giggling and waving the huge amount of candy in his hand.

“Well, put it in here.” Adrian said in disgust, picking up the bag that spanned his shoulder.

Emma threw up her tongue and threw the candy in her hand, just minutes apart, and then she reached out and grabbed his mask. Adrian sighed, leaving her to keep walking on the lively streets. Rodrine and Adam were so relieved that they weren't worried, they just let him bring the little guy out.

Unlike the Americans on Halloween, although the main roads are full of all kinds of decorations, there is a festive atmosphere, and most of the crowd comes and goes in strange costumes, but the streets are not very lively.

But if you go into a residential area, that's another sight. A party with all kinds of strange costumes can be in your own home, in a nightclub or in a small park around you, and you can't lose to the Americans at all.

Even spills have to be confined to a certain extent. Is it because the stubbornness or sulleness is incorporated into the bone? Adrian thought so and walked a few more blocks. Though he wore a simple and unethical Zorro mask, Emma in his arms was so cute that she was attracted to a lot of women.

Adrian is not interested in dealing with them, and tonight's main job is to have fun with the little ones.

“Now can we go back?” After resting on a bench on the street, Adrian asked Emma, licking her finger in her arms, who had just eaten a quick cake.

The little guy who heard it looked up from time to time and blinked at him with nothing to say.

“Don't worry, we'll sleep together tonight.” Adrian, who knew what she meant, sighed, and this Halloween was centered on her anyway.
