King of Hollywood

“What, is there a problem?” Adrian smiled at Blanchett in a casual outfit with a peaked hat.

“I didn't expect you to pick me up.” Blanchett measured him curiously.

“It's sad," Adrian said on the phone. ”

“Really?” Blanchett was a little stunned, flying for hours, and she slept on the plane, definitely not remembering what she said on the phone earlier.

“Don't worry about it, let's just walk and talk.” Adrian came to her, and the gentleman picked up the suitcase in her hand and made a gesture.

Blanchett smiled, walked out with him, put her luggage in the trunk, got in the car, and she said, "Why are you dressed like this, Ed? ”

“For unnecessary trouble.” Adrian smiled and told driver Grover to drive.

“Necessary trouble?” Blanchett's a little confused.

“Today's airport was lively, and just now, the Baldwins were chased into the boarding gate by journalists, and if they saw it, there was no big deal, but there was a lot of trouble.” Adrian explained.

Blanchett suddenly lit up, apparently remembering his scandals, and somehow her eyes suddenly became a little strange. Adrian shrugged his shoulders, reminding him, "Where should we go, by the way? ”

“Oh, excuse me, please take me to the Merry Hotel on Brandon Avenue.” Blanchett was busy talking to the driver.

“The Merry Hotel on Brandon Avenue? Nice place," Adrianmo said with a chin recollection, "right next to Markens Avenue, easy transportation, shopping, excursions, and attentive service at the right price, you have a great view. ”

“Thank you, you have a good memory too, Ed.” Blanchett went on to say that they laughed together.

During the conversation, the car quickly arrived at its destination, and Adrian took Blanchett into the room and said goodbye.

“After a few hours of flight, you must be tired, so get some rest. We'll be in touch in a few days, and the movie will be ready in a few days.” Adrian said so.

“Ready? Shouldn't we audition first?” Blanchett asked in surprise.

“No,” Adrian shrugged, "based on what we talked about on the phone, about the plot and the actress, I'm sure you're the best fit, Kate. ”

“Do you... do you really think so?” Blanchett looked at him overwhelmed.

“Of course," Adrian laughed, naturally reaching over her horned hair, “I don't see it wrong. ”

“You seem to say that every time.” Blanchett's mouth moved, seemingly trying to laugh, Adrian stopped talking, politely left behind, but then he thought of something to turn around: “Oh, Kate, in a few days my new movie will premiere, would you like to come? ”

“The premiere of a new film?” Blanchett shows hesitation, “doesn't seem appropriate, does it? ”

“Nothing. Consider it a party. Besides, the lead actor and the director will be there, and you'll be talking at the premiere, right?” Adrian laughed, "it was settled. ”

After coming out of the hotel, Adrian sat in her car and told the driver to go back to the villa, then leaned on the seat and grew out of breath. Very well, Blanchett had arrived in Hollywood, as long as she came, this was his property.

As soon as he changed his mind, his attention shifted to the upcoming "This Killer's Not Too Cold," which should have been released in early January, but the company's resources were concentrated in Piano Class, Philadelphia Story and Schindler's List, so the publicity was not very good.

Journalists only knew that the miracle director had a new piece, but didn't pay much attention to it - “too much” compared to the films on Schindler's List, after all, each of those three films had its own stunt, such as lesbian directors, such as the Jewish Holocaust. Of course, "This Killer's Not Too Cold" also has the best stunt, but the problem is that unless it's an explicit sign like "Lolita," it's about adult and minor feelings, oh, it's about freaky works, other movie and television works, if involved, will definitely be boycotted.

Luc Besson would have had nothing to do with this in the United States, and that's why Adrian deliberately diminished this sentiment more when he copied it, acting more like it, rather than, if he was still promoting it with this stunt, wouldn't it be like moving a rock and smashing his own foot?

On the other hand, Christmas - many of the big movies on New Year's Eve still occupy all the grounds, so pushing back is not a big deal. On the other hand, the period between mid-January and the end of February is not as hot as Christmas - New Year's Eve, but it's good, and many romantic comedy movies are chosen to be shown on February 14th, such as Delicious Love.

It's okay, as long as the story is good, the audience will love it. Adrian looked out the window thinking so much, and then thought of something that lifted the corner of his mouth.

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

“You look beautiful tonight, by the way.” Adrian retracted his gaze and placed his gaze on the girl in front of him, smiling so as not to hide his appreciation.

“Do you really think so?” Sitting opposite him, Natalie's mouth curled up, she wore a brown long-sleeved waistcoat, two skirts folded underneath, her slender calves exposed outside, a pair of flat shoes of the same color as her clothes on her feet, and a darker bellet cap with straightened hair hanging from both sides, quite a bit of a literary style and a touch of elegance.

“Of course, do you think I would lie?” Adrian smiled a little, "although we've been in touch through letters, I really didn't think, but in a few months, you'll be more beautiful and cute than ever. ”

“Thank you for the compliment, but... how does that sound strange?” Natalie little frowned, but soon she thought of something with a reddish face, anxiously twisting her head aside, while grinding her teeth and sneaking a peek at Adrian with a mixture of embarrassing, embarrassing and dissatisfied eyes.

“I can't wait to see you in front of a reporter, and they'll be amazed.” Adrian didn't go on, he shifted the subject to exclamation.

Probably because the cabin was darker, the street lights flashed from time to time, and it was so dark that he didn't see her clearly. So the little girl decided to shut her mouth and stop talking, and then Adrian said, “I'm glad you came to Los Angeles for the premiere, Nada. ”

“I can't help it. Dozens of calls have been made to my house, and if I don't answer, maybe he'll rush over to my house to kidnap me.” Natalieton rolled her eyes without anger.

“Oh, that's a good idea. Why didn't I think of that?” Adrian suddenly clapped, "If I had flown straight to your house, I wouldn't have had to make so many calls. ”

Natalie had to roll her eyes over again, and that was pretty cute. In this strange atmosphere, the RV came outside the premiere theatre, and Adrian stepped out, and Natalie, opposite the gentleman, reached out.

The little girl had just stepped out of the car and the countless flash lights clicked. Despite her psychological readiness, she was jumped by the battle. One of them almost fell to the ground, and Adrian stood behind her in a timely, concealed hand stretched over her little waist, allowing her to maintain her balance without embarrassment.

Natalie, who was good at judging the situation, did not look up, but held Adrian's hand in secret to express gratitude.

“Mr. Adrian, what made you choose a hot action movie for your new work? ”

“Mr. Adrian, what do you think of some of the ideas in your new work that have been considered too disturbing by the audience who participated in the screening? ”

“Mr. Adrian, does this movie mean that you're about to make a complete shift to commercial-type filmmaking? ”

The reporters' voices rang, and in the face of these guys who wanted to grab him and pry his head open to see what was inside, Adrian kept smiling, but didn't answer a single question, but was just going to walk in front of his RV and get out at the same time. Jean? Ray, a reporter screamed.

“Say something?” Adrian looked up and thought, "Okay, so let me introduce you again, this is Jean? Ray is always wonderful. ”

And he looked at Natalie: "And this is the actress, Miss Natalie Portman."

Some things are still on track, like Natalie changing her surname to prevent it from affecting her family life, and using her grandmother's surname "Portman” as her name in the movie industry, so Natalie? And Hercules has officially become Natalie? Portman.

“Thank God I gave her a second audition, and without her, the film would be at least half-colored, and she was the smartest, most mature and most acting girl of her age I've ever seen," Adrian said, not stingy with her compliments, and Natalie had her hands behind her back with a big smile on her face and a photo taken by reporters.

“All right, that's it. Any questions after the movie, please?” Seeing journalists get a little upset, Adrian says again, then takes Ray. “Don't think American journalists won't be chasing after you and shoving the microphone in your mouth, but we're walking fast and don't give them time to react.” Adrian snorted, "If you stay a few more minutes, you'll know they're no gentleman more than their British counterparts. ”

“That's true, British journalists, or British tabloids, are probably the craziest guy in the world," Ray's shoulder, "entertainment reporters all over the world look alike. ”

And then he turned his head and looked at Natalie on the other side, and the little girl opened her eyes and looked forward, almost unconsciously, and walked with him, breathing slightly and hurriedly, and the excitement on her face seemed to still taste what it was.

“How do you feel, Nada?” Adrian asked after smiling softly.

“Well... it's great to be watched, chased, as if... just wave... and they'll cheer around you...” Natalie muttered, suddenly embarrassed to hold her face: "Sorry, I seem a little out of my mind. ”

“Never mind, Nada," Adriant deliberately lagged behind Rap; “Really?” Natalie, look up. "Am I doing well? ”

“Of course," Adrian laughed, wanting to touch the little girl's smooth face, but eventually pressed herself, just pressing her head, "you're brilliant, Nada, and with that, I knew you were totally entitled to their admiration and cheer. And I'm perfectly certain that in the future, you'll get much more admiration and cheer than you do today, and now it's just the beginning. ”

“Oh, that's a touching word, but it sounds more like a lover comforting a lover than a director encouraging his actors.” Go ahead, Ray. It's my fault. ”Ray awakened to Adrian's eyes.

A walker finally came to the front hall of the theater, and by this moment it was already full of people, with drinks or bare hands and lively conversations. Adrian was soon in a small circle with Natalie and Ray.

“Good to see you, Ed.” Keanu? Reeves was the first to come up and shake his hand, and his face was filled with a smile of enthusiasm. He was so enthusiastic because of him and Raven? Phoenix became a good friend when he filmed "Unbound Sky," and Adrian saved Rivan, naturally winning his favor.

“You're finally here, Ed, and we were just talking about you.” The second person to shake his hand is director Jane? De Bond, he had the same smile, though he didn't want Reeves to be too enthusiastic, but also intimate. You know, when Adrian specifically found him and asked him to direct the Tornado, he only started to be a director for a short time. Not even a single production had been made, and he was selling himself around. The world suddenly dropped such a large piece of pie, naturally, to thank Adrian zero.

“Yeah, I've heard a lot more about you from them than I've ever heard.” The third natural is Kate? Blanchett is wearing a decent turtleneck sweater with a coat attached to his hand and a cotton skirt to his knee underneath, black warm leg pants and a pair of high heeled boots in trousers, and a little sexy at the same time.

“There you go again, Keanu.” Adrian looked at Reeves and said with some impatience.

“Is there a problem? Didn't you save Ralph? Without you, Ralph might not be in the world anymore, would he? Besides, Jane and Kate aren't outsiders. It's not a big deal to tell them, is it?” Reeves couldn't help but laugh at Bond and Blanchett with a few questions.

“All right, all right, where were you?” Adrian couldn't help but shake his head with a smile and change the subject.

“On some of the topics of the scene," said the director's Bond interface, "it's a wonderful idea to confine the main scene to a bus, with a beautiful view of the blue sky and white clouds outside the car, while the tension crisis in the car, the shadow of the scene on each passenger's head, setting the crime scene on a bus that is readily accessible in this everyday life, gives a sense of authenticity and heaviness. ”

“Very well, that proves that I chose you to lead the decision entirely right.” Adrian Haha laughed, "I hope you don't hate me because I didn't give you a good rest. ”

The film, which invited Blanchett to star in the actress, made Reeves famous for "Speed of Life and Death." As early as last September, the Bosworth Film Industry received the script. Adrian checked the script received by the company every week, and naturally knew the value of the script, so he immediately decided to buy it for projection.

But there was a question that came up. Who should the actress choose? Adrian versus Sandra? Brock didn't have much interest, so he passed. Such a movie should consider its own woman first, but it seems only Julia is more appropriate to think about it.
