King of Hollywood

Chapter 147: Low profile

It wasn't until the sunrise that two people woke up entwined in strange positions in their beds, embracing each other to sleep. They sat up, laughed at each other and said nothing, and got out of bed together and went straight into the bathroom without even wearing clothes. The bedroom is a mess, and you can see the equally messy living room through the half-covered doors, wondering how intense the fighting was last night.

Wow, the hot water spilled out of the sprinkler head and drizzled over the bodies of both of them for a smooth flow. Adrian and Julia still haven't spoken and are cleaning their bodies. The two of them share a sprinkler that is inevitable to bump into each other, so they simply wash each other's bodies in the end, so that they can make more contact with each other, so they have to keep warm in the falling water stream, and from time to time they will make a row of laughter.

Over time, they inevitably jumped, and when they just woke up, self-restraint was relatively weak, so Julia realized that after last night's intense war, Adrian was able to wake up so high, kneel down without thinking, and did it very naturally. Adrian hummed softly, rubbing her hair against the wall and enjoying the service.

It took them a while to get dressed and come out of the bathroom fresh and refreshed, and then started a big cleaning campaign, while searching the fridge for some random food, put it in the microwave oven for two laps to fill the stomach. After all this, they sat quietly in the living room for a long time, until the sun climbed into the garden in front of the glass, and Adrian got up and walked out, and Julia followed, at which point they said the first words to wake up.

“I'm leaving.” Adrian stood at the open door and said so.

“I know." Julia leaned at the door and shrugged, silently for a few seconds, and she asked, "So when are you going back to London? Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow? ”

“At least a week later,” Adrian thought, "it's easy to get rid of the troubled reporters and go back to Los Angeles quietly, of course, and get some rest. ”

“Really?” Julia's eyes glistened, noticing that Adrian picked the eyebrows.

Two seconds later, they suddenly kissed each other, and the battle between their lips and tongues began unusually intense, as if they had been thirsty for a long time. The sigh grew louder and louder. Finally, the two separated, but immediately looked at each other and kissed each other again. However, this time, while kissing the house, Adrian knocked on his heel and shut the door again.

When such a farewell appeared again in front of the villa, five days later, Adrian was still wearing his hat and his last simple white shirt and grey trousers, although at first glance he knew it had been washed, came out and kissed Julia in a long, floral dress and said goodbye.

And Julia, who looked refreshed, didn't pull him back into her room like the last time, smiled and closed the door right in front of him, and made a really loud bang.

“Really, the woman's little temper...” Adrian shook her head with a laugh, and then sat in the car where she had parked for several days. The engine drove into the street, and the wind blew out of the windows and he couldn't help blowing a whistle.

In just five days, the two of them were basically nowhere to go, staying in the house, chatting, dancing, singing, watching videos, etc., doing whatever they wanted, doing whatever they wanted, except for a few occasional dinners out, most of the time ordering takeout.

Of course, that's not the most important thing. Five whole days on the bed, on the couch, on the floor, on the coffee table, in the bathroom, on the balcony... in this room, there are only unexpected places, there's nothing you can't do, and all the tricks that work are used up, and all the parts that work are used up. I have to say, it's really crazy.

Yeah, crazy five days, but also very nice five days. Adrian, who held the steering wheel with one hand, stunned his mouth, thinking of Juliana's wild quest or begging for company, he had the urge to turn the wheel back and stay for another five days. The most tempting thing about Julia was when she had that iconic mouth that had made Adrian * * go away for the first time, more flexible and varied after he pointed it out, completely beyond what Kate and Monica could compare.

Beyond that, the back was pretty good. At first Julia was very resistant, but then smoothly became obsessed with this feeling. The more she forgot to cooperate, the happier Adrian was.

I look forward to seeing you next time, Julia. Adrian smiled and said in his heart that he knew very well why Julia was so indulgent with him for days, just that you wanted to end it, but I didn't want to.

Because "Four Weddings, One Funeral" had been revised, he suddenly had a new idea, linked to the subsequent films for sale, what better way to suggest it than with the character of the act?

It may be a little long, but what does it matter? Just hold her in your hand. The evil man sitting in the car thought so, then bolstered the throttle and drove away.

The next day, Adrian chartered a private plane back to London, examined Howard's End of Day, and informed Mike? The matter of the lead Neville has been settled and he can begin formal preparations. If it goes well, perhaps next January, Adrian leaves everything else in the film to the director, and it is certainly not possible to prepare it as quickly as he would personally host it, and if the weather is bad, the start time may have to be delayed later.

After these two major events, he went to see Emma Jr. at Ms. Rodley's house and, after making the same agreement as before, he went back to Los Angeles on a rental private plane because Smell the Woman.

Without the premiere, the film has gone through too many ups and downs, even though it was invited to Al? Pacino starred, but it wasn't expensive, so simply cancel the premiere and save a fortune. Anyway, the primary role of the premiere ceremony is to promote the film, which is good enough.

Thus, given the silence of the screenings and the mere 1,000 screenings, the $7 million box office was still taken down that day, rising to 11 million by the end of the week after several media debates over the book. Shadows can be said to be eye-catching, and even though many people thought that the film had been frozen for so long, and now it's just a dying struggle, more people chose to enter the cinema, and then --

“This is Adrian, after Shawshenk's Redemption, another film that gives hope, from destruction to rebirth, Al? Pacino explains perfectly what must be done with a grumpy, stubborn, determined blind Colonel Frank, the best show he's done in years." - The Hollywood Report

“It was a magical anniversary, when a young, confused college student and a grumpy, dying lieutenant colonel interacted because of an accidental encounter and finally found what they lacked in each other. Had to be right, Al? Pacino's acting was amazing, and when he appeared on the big screen, he couldn't see a man with perfect vision, especially that incredible tango, but he was so cautious and stunning.” - "Zongyi"

“The title of director of magic is perfect for Adrian, but he perfectly blends the earliest styles conditionally and selectively into the film, and although there is always a shadow of those earlier works, it is completely different from the previous films, an excellent film, especially Frank's last speech in the lobby, and the vibrant feeling that Adrian did exactly what he wanted to do.” - The New York Times

“The plot is the same as the original Italian film, and Adrian, who is good at storytelling, never seems to have thought of doing more work on the plot, as if nothing would change the best - oh, no, at least the scene changes to the United States. This movie is more like Al in a way? Pacino's unicorn, the directorial role was minimized, and if I had any expectations of his Howard Manor before, I don't need to see it anymore. - The Times.

Basically, commentators have more reputation for Smell the Fragrance Woman than ruin, especially American critics, as if the film were the best film of the year, as if the doubts of the first half of the year did not exist. Criticism is mostly concentrated in the British media, and most British critics point to "Fragrant Woman" in a cold-eyed way, arguing that if this is Adrian's literary drama movie, that's all. At last, however, there was no quarrel between the media in the two countries.

The reason for such a split situation was that the American media had been silent about Howard Manor, and since the quality of the film was really good after it was released, it was natural to take the opportunity to fight back.

Secondly, the theme of the film did scratch the itch of mainstream American society. The view that "snitches are shameful” has always been the most shared by Americans. Many snitches in movies that match mainstream flavors or go to the box office are miserable. In the United States, some views are absolutely irreversible, such as the definition of the Jewish Holocaust in World War II, such as homosexuality and discrimination, such as the whistleblower's assessment, which is politically correct.

Three, Al? Pacino was truly remarkable, and although many people didn't say anything, it was clear to me that he had won six Oscar nominations before that, but had never gained anything. If this film claims to compete for this year's Oscar's best actor, with his acting and credentials, Pacino is at least 80% likely to win the prize.

The combination of several factors led to a low-profile but resounding situation of "Smell the Fragrance Woman".
