King of Hollywood

“Simply put, what I need is a big, comprehensive shot that shows the whole house and the grass and everyone outside, you know, Virgit?” Outside a secluded villa in the woods, Adrian said more to his photographer than he did with his hands drawn.

“It's not a long shot, is it?” The photographer thought about it and asked, after getting a negative answer, he said his opinion in silence: “Three or four lenses in front, we can sit on the boom and shoot from top to bottom, and the next few can build a track from that side to that side, from right to left. What do you think? ”

Adrian thought about it, built the next image in his head, and finally agreed: "That's it, but after that, we can take another shot in the opposite direction for comparison. ”

Virgit nodded and greeted the crew, and Adrian turned to Tom sitting in the chair with his assistant facing the line? Hanks, go. It is now April 18, in a small town called Erwell, Alabama, and is naturally filming Agan Zheng, which has been filming for almost two weeks.

“Hey, Tommy, what's up?” Adrian says hello all the way, wears white trousers and a blue striped plaid shirt, cares for little * flat-headed Tom? Hanks looks pretty thick.

“You can start anytime.” Hanks gave Adrian a thumb with a cool smile on his face.

Of course, he was pleased that Hanks got the best male lead without risk at the 66th Oscar Awards ceremony at the end of March. As for the best films and the best directors, they fell into Spielberg's bag without suspension, and the moment they got the best director, just like Percy did the year before.

Of course, just like last year, oh, more surprising than last year. Only the best male and female lead winners thanked him in their award-winning speeches last year, but also at the forefront of the thank you list, with the addition of the best director this year. Spielberg's message is undoubtedly more eye-catching than Hunter's "Thank you to Ms. Campion and Adrian for recommending me to her"; and Hanks' “In addition, thank you to Adrian for writing this script and recommending me to Joe if it wasn't for his recommendation”.

“Speaking of which, I would like to thank one man solemnly, Adrian? Corwell, he was incredibly helpful when I made this film, from selecting several actors to proposing scenes and plots, and Schindler's List could be produced, and he had to do at least a third of the work. If it weren't for him, maybe the movie would still be on paper, maybe not as good as it is now. Thank you, Ed. Thank you very much."

This was Spielberg's message about Adrian, when the entire music center was featured on Adrian's screen, and people who were supposed to applaud Spielberg turned to him. Thus, even if Adrian had only one nomination for the best original script from the Philadelphia Story on top of this Oscar, along with another writer, and eventually the award was taken by Campion, he would still be one of the most prominent individuals in the entire award ceremony.

However, this attention refers more to the attention within the circle, the general public is more willing to focus on the brilliant stars, and if Adrian shows up as the nominee for the contest award, they will be interested, but if he is just a guest, it is enough to take a look.

But it's not the same for the people in the circle, who don't want to walk up to the stage and lift their little golden men and women who are fighting in Hollywood? If Adrian gave Percy two films last year, let's get started. ”Adrian patted Hanks on the shoulder and made a gesture not far from the assistant director.

He didn't pay too much attention to those things, which were part of his movie career plan, and the situation would only grow more over time, such as Agan Zheng Zheng, which is now being filmed, so it's usually just right.

“Units ready” Adrian screamed after sweeping the scene, watching the monitor's signpost knock.

Now the shots are scattered, all part of Agan's home in Alabama, over a long period of time. The last shot, perhaps he was a high school student, and the next one was already standing next to the mailbox, where Lieutenant Dan told me that he had invested in a computer company that bought apples for him after making a lot of money fishing for shrimp.

“Very good, Tommy. Nice work.” After one shot, Adrian clapped his hands. Hanks, who stopped, shrugged his shoulders very plainly, looking like "this is what I'm supposed to do."

It can be seen that the previous experience of volunteering at the welfare home helped him greatly. He was very precise about the characteristics of the mildly mentally retarded, and also had his own interpretation of Agan. The thick yet honest and obsessive temperament exhibited fully met Adrian's requirements.

From either point of view - acting or being human - Hanks is a good dater. After obtaining Oscar's best male lead, his broker had once persuaded him to ask the crew for an increase in the film. After all, the newcomer had to have a price to match it, and not a few actors had done so.

But Hanks refused without even thinking about it. While it had an accurate judgment of Adrian's future, it also had its own principles, and not everyone could refuse so resolutely. As for how Adrian knew, it was normal for him not to do this if he didn't even have access to his own sources.

After shooting several shots in a row, Adrian announced a break and then walked over with Charlize, wearing a women's shirt, jeans, sneakers and a baseball cap that looked very low-key.

“Mr. Claude just called and seems to be looking for you.” Charlize said that she was a secretary in the office and an assistant in the studio, and although this outfit concealed her good looks, it did not conceal her amazing figure.

Adrian laughed and gauged her, until the girl's face was heavy and she answered the phone and walked outside the set.

“Hi, Claude. What can I do for you?” After the call, he went straight to the subject, and for a few minutes he smiled, “did he? Good, I'll have Charlie contact the plane right away... it's okay, it won't affect me, I'll arrange this side before I leave, and there are just a few things that need to be taken care of in LA. ”

Adrian, who ended the call, stood there for a moment and thought, and came to Charlize: "Charlie, get in touch with ILFC right now, I'm in Alabama, and I need a private plane. ”

“Going back to LA? Now?” Charlize asked unexpectedly.

“Yes, as soon as possible, all trips have to be rescheduled.” Adrian nodded her head and slapped her on the butt without a trace, quickly turning to the assistant director.

“Richard, Dean, Victor, Ray, I have some bad news for you.” That's what Adrian said when he found the associate director, as well as the director's assistant and executive producer.

“Oh, don't tell me to seal the streets again or borrow the stadium or something. The last time we did that, people in town almost complained.” Executive producer Ray? Huggins suffered a face.

“Come on, Ray, I bet he wants us to take the other cameras and experiment with some shooting, which isn't something we haven't done before anyway.” Deputy director Richard? Ryan sighed.

“Perhaps you feel the lawn is not tidy and want to trim it again? Or do you think the lawn is too tidy to make it more messy?” Two director assistants you say I'm funny.

“Well, you guys, don't you think I'm usually too nice, so now I can be a little rash?” Adrian half-joked and half-warned, seeing several people laugh and stop talking before continuing: "I'm leaving for a few days, and there are some important things I need to deal with over there in Los Angeles. ”

“You mean to leave?” The deputy director shows an amazing look, "but there are dozens of shots left, and there's a wedding or something... are you going to stop? ”

“Of course not. You, Richard, shoot when I'm gone.” Adrian pointed to the deputy director.

“Me?” Richard? Ryan gets more surprised, "Are you sure, Ed? This is your movie. ”

“Yes, I know, so I'm not going to let you shoot some more complicated shots.” Adrian nodded, "Now let's pause the shooting, and then I'll talk to you about the shooting, the shooting, and when I get back, I'll draw all the split shots for your reference. I'm sure you'll do well, Richard, and you have the basic qualities that a good director needs most. ”

The underlying line of this sentence is that if you do well, I can consider letting you try to direct a movie. This temptation is definitely not something Ryan can resist unless he wants to be an associate director for the rest of his life.

“I see.” Richard? Ryan immediately promised to come down.

“Good, I'll announce this to the crew soon, and let them do what you want when I leave, including Tommy," Adrian nodded, looking at the other three, “and as for you, I won't have to say much and do everything I can to help Richard do his job these days, okay? ”
