King of Hollywood

Chapter 175 Details of the Director

“Ed" 's little girl screamed excitedly, ran up her hands, and then jumped into Adrian's arms, staring at Charlize behind Adrian.

“Hey, Emma, looks a lot taller again.” Adrian held the little girl in her arms and shook her head close to her, then reached out and squeezed her face. The little girl laughed and hid in his arms.

Almost 3 years old Emma is a lot older and cuter than before. In addition, there are more and more words that she will know. As soon as the initial excitement is over, she grabs Adrian and squawks. Although many times the words are not satisfactory, she can still hear the meaning. It's nothing more than “I miss you very much”, “I'm trying to learn", "I already know a lot of words” I'm amazing ”, etc., naive and unpleasant.

“Is this the kid you're talking about?” After entering the house, Charlize asked secretly, and on her way here she had heard the story of Emma from Adrian's mouth. After being confirmed, Charlize looked at Emma with pity.

Adrian knew roughly what she was thinking, Charlize knew some things by memory, so he didn't ask much, and praised Emma after she took out her "proud work”.

I don't know why, Adrian always felt like something had happened to the little girl. When the New Year's holiday came, she had become more happy and could even sing a few small words when the outsiders came to be guests, but now the feeling of attachment to herself has become stronger. As for why he hasn't been in London for two months, he obviously doesn't know that the nanny didn't say a word about it, even though he had a chance to flank the nanny.

But the question was lifted as soon as the Rodriguez returned home, looking at Rodriguez's slightly convex stomach, Adrian understood everything. This is not to say that the couple got worse for Emma, after all, it was the daughter of their dead brother, but with their own children, they inevitably had subtle changes and deviations in attitude.

Emma's car accident sequelae had not fully recovered, and her mind was still very sensitive. Even though the changes and deviations were subtle, she could still detect them, so she inevitably came up with the idea that they might be abandoned. After all, she was barely three years old, and although her peers were already intelligent, she was still unable to think too complex.

When we slept together that evening, as usual, the little girl's questioning had confirmed the speculation.

“Why, their parents?” Emma, shrunk in her freckled pajamas in Adrian's arms, suddenly raised her head in the middle of the story and asked like this, her bright crystal eyes didn't blink and looked at him.

“Honey, it's just a story, and what happens in a story doesn't mean it's going to happen in real life.” Even though the little girl spoke ill, Adrian understood what she was asking and immediately touched her head to comfort her.

Emma obviously didn't understand, and the big brown eyes were still staring at Adrian. Adrian couldn't help but sigh and throw away the book in her hand. She was also unconscious to tell the story of Hansel and Gretel to put her to sleep.

“Okay, little guy,” Adrian said, bowing down, touching her head, watching her say earnestly, "I hope you remember that I'll be there for you no matter what, I swear, I swear to God. ”

The little girl looked at him for a long time and finally revealed a smile. She drilled in Adrian's arms and held him with her eyes closed. Adrian kissed Emma's forehead and, after a moment of memory, started humming a soothing song.

Adrian decided to bring the little girl with him, even though she won't be in London for long this time, because it's almost the end of the month. As Aunt Emma's Rodrine had no objection, everyone knew how the little girl felt about Adrian.

In fact, Adrian wanted to take Emma back to Los Angeles for a few months, but that's unlikely. So he finally chose to spend the next few days with the little girl, and there might be some unexpected gains.

“You go all the way from here to there, and then you come out, and you, you just stand here and you just keep talking. Also, lighter, I need the scene to be serious but not heavy, so it's best to make the light a little brighter.” Director Mike? Neville stood in the middle of the set, issuing orders.

This is a photo studio in London that has been built into a church setting, with a coffin in the middle, and is filming the funeral scene in "Four Weddings, One Funeral."

Neville is a very attentive director, as can be seen from the footage of the two weddings that have already been filmed. Although the environment is very similar, there are obvious differences in small details such as clothing, characters, and the process performed. As long as you make a few edits at a later stage, it will definitely not be confusing or feel similar.

There's all kinds of directors in the movie industry, good at using technology, like James? Cameron; good at mobilizing actors, like Jonathan? Damy; good at controlling the scene, like Mike in front of you? Neville.

They have characteristics, such as Cameron telling the lighter in detail what type of light he needs and letting him do exactly what he says; Damy telling the lighter what effect he wants, as long as the lighter meets his requirements; and Neville discussing it over and over again with the lighter so that he fully understands what he thinks and does.

But they all have one thing in common, and they care a lot about the details. In fact, great directors tend to have a good grasp of the details of a movie, a movie can last up to 180 minutes, and it's simply not possible to tell a story without a flaw, so supporting the story with the details makes it the most important tool for the audience to think for themselves. While audiences may think of things that directors don't even think about - especially open-ended movies - and then argue with each other, argue with each other, try to prove themselves right, so what? What impact does it have on directors and movie companies when they compete?

Adrian is aware of this, so far, with the exception of "Smell the Fragrance Woman," all films have been produced that are known for their details. He is also constantly observing other directors' ways of directing and authenticating his stuff, otherwise he will not run away from the computer at this time * and visit three studios for a visit.

“Well done, everyone, take 10 minutes off and hope to keep going.” After one shot, Neville clapped his hands and shouted out loud, looking happy with the shot.

After a few seconds, the heavy studio became noisy and Adrian walked with Emma to Neville.

“Hi, Mike.” He greeted.

“Hi, Ed.” Speaking to the deputy director and several assistants, Neville turned around and responded that he had not complained like Damy, "It's been a while since the shooting took place." Deep down in his heart, Adrian couldn't help but come.

Although Adrian had promised not to interfere with his rights on the set, what could he say if he really pointed up his hand and drew his feet? Adrian is not only a producer and an investor, but also a "miracle director”.

“You guided well, Mike, and inviting you was the absolute right decision - Emma, don't mess with my hair.” Adrian slipped away from her head, but the little girl in her arms did not relentlessly open her teeth to dance claws, giggling and pretending to be a ghost face. Adrian had to turn her eyes helplessly and let her do whatever she wanted, which made Neville laugh.

“You guys are so close.” He smiled and said, "Do you think there's anything you need to change? ”

“Of course not,” Adrian waved, and he understood Neville's concern, "I said," I will not interfere in your decision, except in exceptional circumstances. ”

Speaking of which, he looked at the male lead in the distance and couldn't help but ask Neville: “What do you think of Dan? ”

“Nice lad, although the audition was good, but I was still a little worried before the shooting started. But it turned out to be superfluous, and I was surprised that he was able to play both depraved male or neurotic robbers like Memory Shards and Lowlife Novels, as well as romantic comedy characters like that, which was very good.” Neville said so, but followed the lead, "but he didn't seem to be doing very well these days. ”

“I can see that.” Adrian looked far away at Dennis and said with a funny tone, what Dennis was talking about in the corner to a woman with a sad face.

“Well, I'll go talk to him first.” Say hello to Neville. Adrian walked that way and heard the woman say in a depressed tone before she got there: “Dan, I don't know, I really don't know...”

And he hesitated, and Adrian said, "Hi, Dan. ”

“Ah, Ed?” Dennis, who was going to hold the woman and comfort her, turned back and replied in surprise, "When did you get to the set? ”

“I was in London a long time ago, spent two days with Emma, and arrived at the set this morning.” Adrian explained, then smiled and looked at the woman who revealed herself to him in confusion.

“Um... this is Norrie, um, Verona, Verona? Ryder." Dennis introduced himself, but the color of the gods got a little weird, and he looked at Verona: “Norrie, is this Ed, or Adrian? Corwell. ”

Adrian gauged Verona with interest, and this was the first time he saw her, and while it didn't change his mind about her, he reached out: "Hello, Verona. ”

“Are you the miracle director?” Upon hearing his name, Verona's face immediately covered with a layer of frost and turned away. Dennis tried to call her, but after watching Adrian embarrassed, he made an apologetic gesture and chased her out.

Adrian was surprised, but didn't say much. He shrugged his shoulders and walked to the other side. The woman he was talking to was the main target of his visit.
