King of Hollywood

Chapter 172 Schedule of Visits

“I love this script, Ed. The writers wrote great. I can almost smell the Italian food. It's amazing. I also painted the image of this workaholic female chef in my head." Mandy? Gail whispered as he drank, “I've even found the tone of the film, which should be...”

Adrian next to "Scorching Summer" will take over.

“Yes, it's the atmosphere and tone of Burning Summer." Mandy slapped with joy and looked at Adrian unexpectedly, "Did you see that movie I directed? ”

“Of course, I asked you to direct this film precisely because I saw it.” Adrian smiled.

“Great, man, I gotta direct this movie,” Mandy said excitedly.

“Then it's settled, and I'll have the company discuss the contract and the specific matters with you as soon as possible, and if it goes well, I hope to get it up and running by the end of April.” Adrian nodded and made a gesture to Charlize around him, but Charlize had already begun to write it down in the memo when he first spoke.

“No problem, I'll do my best.” Mandy whistled loudly and asked what he remembered: "By the way, Ed, why don't you direct the film yourself? You know, you're a miracle director now."

“Because I'm taking a break, don't think it's easy to make three movies a year, Mandy. I won't do anything until I've had enough rest.” Adrian waved his hand and stood up, "Okay, that's it, I'm going back. ”

“Wait, Ed, we're having a party at night, maybe you can go," Mandy frown screamed him, "with unlimited beer supplies and hot girls, Holly? Hunter will be there. ”

“Sorry, I have other plans.” Adrian Mandy rejected his offer, then said goodbye and Charlize left the bar.

“Do you have a license, Charlie?” When he came to the car, he suddenly asked.

Charlize stunned slightly and answered with a stall: "Only an intern's license. ”

“It's okay, I'll just sit next to you.” What else did Charlize want to say in front of me, Adrian waved: “I just drank a little too much, I don't want to be in trouble with the police. Don't worry, just drive slowly, unless you've never touched a car since you got your driver's license. ”

“All right.” Charlize stopped speculating and the generous man picked up the car keys and sat in the cab.

Watching the street view go backwards, Adrian sitting on the co-pilot stretches out a little lazy waist, why is Mandy finalizing it? The key to Gail's stewardship of Delicious Emotions is his Italian identity. In the West, Italian and French cuisine are the most famous, British cuisine has always been the object of contempt. As for the culturally compatible United States, it is simply the representative of fast food, so you can only work on Italian and French food if you want to make movies about food.

Because Adrian chose Monica as the lead actress, the film's food would only be Italian, and the director would naturally prefer to find someone who also knows Italian food. Two directors with similar abilities, who know better about cooking Italian food, can do better in detail - that's Mandy's advantage, and after reading the information and today's conversation, Adrian is more certain of this, and with his good experience, he naturally chooses him.

The rest can go to LaVerne. Adrian made up his mind and made a decision. He believed Monica would surprise herself in the film, knowing that it had taken a long time to pick the script.

Since she's her own woman, of course she can't be bothered. Remembering Monica's enthusiasm, Adrian couldn't help but look at Charlize, who was staring straight ahead and driving the car.

“How do you feel?” He suddenly asked.

Charlize turned around and looked at him and said, "Is this a Hollywood routine or what? ”

“Normal,” Adrian laughed, "Actually, I thought I'd see a smoky picture of these guys not smoking, which is surprising. Basically, parties in Hollywood are the same as parties held by students at school, except for more luxury, liveliness and impunity. ”

“Really?” Charlize answered unanswered.

Adrian was slightly surprised and thought about it before asking: "Don't tell me you've never been to a party like this in school or at a ballet dance. ”

“How can it be, I've been there a few times, but I always feel a little out of place.” Charlize said it in a relaxed tone, but there was a glimmer of disgust in his eyes. "I went to fewer parties in the past two years, and I spent all my time studying and didn't even have the time to date. ”

Adrian couldn't help but be a little stunned, compared to the information in his memory, Charlize in front of him was so... did he say that his butterfly wings were so powerful that a flower turned her into a workaholic?

Never mind, don't worry, just watch it for a while. So he looked out the window again.

This year's Oscar nomination list was released just ahead of schedule, officially until the end of March, with almost a month left, while several films invested and produced by the Bosworth Film Industry were under way, and Adrian joined the tour after the company's events.

First Jonathan? Dyme directed the Philadelphia Story crew, which just happened to be back from Philadelphia, filming this interior play in Studio 93, which is naturally the first choice in close proximity. And of course, another reason is that the movie has been on for almost a month, and he hasn't even been in a crew with the writer and the producer, so he shouldn't have.

Even after Damy met him, he said, "I can't imagine, Ed, if every producer was like you, the Hollywood movie industry would be doomed. ”

Adrian apologized with words, even though it was said in a half-joke tone: "I'm sorry, Joe, it's my fault, I can apologize in front of everyone if you want. ”

Damy certainly wouldn't let him do that, complaining about it and then introducing Adrian to the current situation. The shooting schedule is now halfway done, the exterior of Pennsylvania has been read ~ and the book is finished, the rest is just the scene in the shooting. Approximately before the Oscar Awards ceremony, although the later period may take at least four months or more.

“It's okay, Joe, it doesn't matter if you spend a little more time, just put all your energy into it.” Adrian said that he had seen some of the lenses before he arrived, and even though they had not been processed, he could still see how well Damy's control of the rhythm handled the lenses.

“I'm going to schedule a movie for the end of the year, and we all know that Oscar likes to have flaws and like unusual characters, don't we?” Adrian concludes.

“So the miracle director thinks Tom hopes to get a nomination.” Damy was surprised that the film hadn't even been made yet and had already started talking about winning awards.

“Didn't you say Tom and Denzel were brilliant?” Adrian said silently.

Damy loved the stars of The Philadelphia Story more than once before when he talked about dramatic films, and it was wise to give Hanks and Washington two roles.

It is true that Adrian still sees the beauty of Hanks and Washington in the show, despite the fact that the choice of two players was made only out of memory inertia and to serve his name and plan, and now he really admires it, no wonder they both get the best male lead in the Oscar.

Not only that, they are also very dedicated. In the upcoming court show, Hanks played an AIDS man who was already very weak, so he had to lose at least 30 pounds and, after just over a week of kung fu, he reached the standard without delaying the shoot. And Washington's character needs to gain five to seven pounds, so he puts chocolate in his mouth as soon as he stops shooting.

In this way, because the two people who became friends of the movie had to perform some interesting scenes from time to time, like when Damien was holding Adrian to introduce him to Hanks and Washington, D.C., who was standing in front of Hanks chewing chocolate. To give Hanks a clearer look, he often does slow moves into his mouth, and after swallowing, he deliberately looks intoxicated, letting Hanks stare him straight in the eye.

Even after each meal, Washington deliberately asks, "Need some, Tom? It feels amazing. ”

“We'll see, Dan, I'll make you look good sooner or later.” Hanks was not angry, although he could not laugh at his behavior, but threatened with a faint smile and a half joke.

By the way, is this the first time Adrian's seen Tom? Hanks, this man with a square face does have an unspeakable temperament, even though he looks thin now because of the drama, and the makeup artist put a thick foundation on his face, and his hair was dyed white. With a gentle smile, it still gives people a sense of trust, and with those characters, it's no wonder they're representatives of American men from the '90s to' 00s.

“Nice to meet you, Mr. Hanks, Mr. Washington.” Adrian reached out to the two stars who were going to be so glorious in the film that he believed in Damy and their abilities, and he had that confidence.

“Me too, Mr. Corwell.” Tom? Hanks and Denzel? Washington shook his hand separately.

“I heard you recommended me and Tom to play these two roles. Is that right?” Washington asked first, then explained: “I read the script on the plane, I couldn't help but dance in a wonderful place, and the air lady startled me. I made contact with Joe as soon as I got off the plane, and I must perform this role. ”

“That's true, the script had an idea for a long time, and that's what I thought...” Adrian said with a smile.
