King of Hollywood

“Beni Lang Restaurant is the third part of the opera house, and they have the best Queensland crab in New South Wales, not much worse than Queensland, which sounds interesting, doesn't it? In short, coming here to try Australian cuisine after watching an opera or listening to a piece of music is a choice for many visitors.” Sitting in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass window, looking out at the undulating sea view, Adrian sipped coffee and listened to Blanchett's explanation.

Today Blanchett is wearing a ponytail, a grey long-sleeved jacket and still a jeans boot, although flat. This gives her a skilful look, but because she's young and vibrant.

“From the looks of it, the Sydney Opera House is like a big boat with a sail open, so someone says Jon? Usong was inspired by the ship. But some say he was inspired by the shell, and when he approached it, it didn't look like a sail. Unfortunately, they all guessed wrong because of Jon? Usong himself admitted that it was inspired by the stripping of half the oranges.” Blanchett says here that the corner of her mouth curls slightly, admittedly, and she smiles with charm.

“Thank you for your explanation, Kate,” Adrian said, raising the cup of coffee in his hand, "inviting you to be a guide is the right thing to do, otherwise I'm sure I'll miss something. ”

“I don't really like Sydney,” Blanchett said all of a sudden, "I know most about opera houses, so I'm sure you'd be disappointed if you asked me to take you somewhere else. ”

“Why?” Adrian was a little surprised.

“I was born in Melbourne, and I prefer the stunning woods there, and compared to Sydney's awful greenery, Melbourne is simply paradise. Of course, more is just instinctive dislike, just like some Sydney residents instinctively dislike Melbourne, very normal geography, isn't it?” Blanchett laughed very cleverly, making it difficult for Adrian to tell if it was true or not.

“Okay, Kate, can you answer me now?” Coffee, he put out last night's topic again.

“To be honest, of Shakespeare's four comedies, I prefer Midsummer Night's Dream, which has a romantic sense of fantasy, and The Twelfth Night, which I just saw in the theater, is somewhat too realistic.” Blanchett answered unquestionably, lowering her head to sip the coffee as well, her eyes slightly floating.

“Kate” Adrian growled her name, “I'm going back to Los Angeles in a few hours. ”

Blanchett's eyelids drooped low, her hands crossed together, and she kept pulling her fingers. It seemed contradictory in her heart. Adrian simply leaned forward slightly and watched her motionlessly.

“Do you like staring at people like that, Ed?” The girl finally couldn't help but talk, and the tone was a little annoying and strange, "yesterday, and now again. ”

“Oh, if that bothers you, I apologize," Adrian laughed and opened his hand, "in fact, a lot of people have said that about me, always staring at people. However, please understand that a director can easily see the excitement and excitement when a suitable actor comes along. Please don't question my eyes and judgment, some actors are so special that you will know that they are who you want them to be. I'm sure you know a little bit about me now, and I've never failed on this, so I really hope you... at least take the audition, okay? ”

Blanchett's face flew a little red, hesitated for half an hour before sighing bitterly: “You know, Ed, just yesterday, I also swore Dandan to himself: Kate, you're going to be the best stage actor. But at night, someone said to me," I have a role to play, and I want you to audition and even perform. "This man is also a famous Hollywood miracle director. Oh, my God, this kind of thing that only happens in movies suddenly comes to me, it makes me dizzy, it makes me uncomfortable... I need time to think, Ed, I need time to think about what I really need...”

With a sigh of sigh, the two became silent, Blanchett lowered his head and stirred the coffee, while Adrian placed his hands crossed on the table, looking out into the sea.

“Well, I know,” finally Adrian said, looking into Blanchett's eyes, "whether you refuse or promise, please give me a call. Besides, if you refuse, I'll seal the script and stop filming it. ”

“What did you say... say?” Blanchett shows shock, “no more shooting? ”

“Yes, it would be better if it stayed in the closet instead of having an actor play.” Adrian shrugged, and he grabbed her hand: “Please don't think I'm pressuring you, Kate, I just don't want to make a movie that's not so perfect, although it's not my director, although it's just a commercial movie, but... please forgive my obsession with it, please don't take it personally. ”

Looking at Adriana's bitter smile, Blanchett couldn't help but hold onto his hand and smile again on her face some time later: "I promise I'll think about it, Ed. ”

“Great,” Adrian said, “well, let's talk about it a little lightly, or go to some other attraction before I leave Sydney? ”

Although Blanchett did not give him an accurate answer, Adrian was confident that she would come to Hollywood sooner or later. Stage theatre is not the best profession for actors, and the Australian film industry is largely negligible, so Australian actors either go to England or Hollywood, and obviously it's better to get a foothold in Hollywood.

She would hesitate only because she was young and didn't realize the importance of the opportunity to the actor, or because she realized something else, after all, they only met for less than a day. It's okay, Adrian can wait, and if Blanchett does reject this invitation, he won't say anything, and the script in his hand is sealed. Although the script is not from his hand, although the film is also from the box office, so what? It's only a matter of money.

What is the importance of careers and women? The answer is that women are important without much influence in their careers. Don't forget what * * and ambition Adrian had at the beginning. The pleasure of this collection is unparalleled when all these women with different styles on the screen are possessed by him.

Adrian always knew what he wanted, and he always knew how to do it. Some women just play, but some women deserve to be around, Kate? Blanchett naturally belongs to the latter. She may not be a first-class pretty woman, but that cold, concealed, arrogant temperament has quite a taste, even though it is still green, it is absolutely wonderful to be able to teach such a woman to conquer.

Speaking of Kate, he would inevitably think of another woman who, although spelled differently, pronounced very similar. According to the information available, the harvest season is imminent.

Adrian returned to Los Angeles after only three and a half days in Sydney, not that he didn't want to stay any longer, after all, it was his “first time” to Australia, not to mention with a beautiful woman of Blanchett's temperament - most likely she wouldn't refuse if he asked her out.

It's just that there's still a lot to deal with here in Los Angeles, like the last bit of late work on "This Killer's Not Cold," like talking to LaVerne about "Piano Class" publicity, or with Winston? Groom quarreled.

“Do you know what that means, Ed? Gan's image is completely subverted, and there is no need to exist at all." An angry old man shouted in Adrian's office, his waving arms and his eyebrow-blowing appearance clearly told each other that he would never rest until a suitable explanation was given.

“I think I made myself clear from the beginning, Winston,” Adrian looked at him at the back of his desk and frowned, "I'm going to convert this novel into an inspirational film, not a metaphorical political film. He agreed at the time, so why say now that the whole story doesn't have to exist? ”

“Yes, of course I did, but at the same time I also stressed that Gann's personality cannot be changed too much." Groom was more agitated than calmed down because of his words for a few seconds.

“Look, Ed, look,” he rolled over the written script, "in my novel, Gan is both a genius and an idiot, he can be an astronaut and a garbage burner, and you turned him into a thick retard. I have no objection to you taking only the first 11 chapters to shoot, after all, so much in the book, it's impossible to tell it all in two or three hours, but you completely changed the character of the character, how do I accept that? ”

“Okay, Winston, just calm down, have a sip of water, and then we'll say," Adrian pinched his nose a little helplessly, "and arguing won't solve the problem. ”

There have been several such quarrels since the beginning of the adaptation of the novel. But it was on the phone before, and Adrian wanted to keep the argument on the phone, but it didn't occur to him that the old man Grum was running from Alabama, so now he's in the office arguing.

It's not that Adrian didn't want to be tough, but Groom is stubborn and strong and eats soft and doesn't eat hard. If he's really tough, he'll tear his face right off. Though he was prepared to do so long ago, he had to refrain from taking the initiative.
