King of Hollywood

Chapter Four: Too Much Things

What if it's Kim? Gary is the kind of actor who can change his face at will, then Kevin? Spicey is the kind of actor who can change his personality at will. If you look at his work continuously, you'll find that the last moment he was a rude, swearful guy who turned into a cold-blooded killer with no humanity, and the next moment a cowardly man with a cowardly fear. From an actor's point of view, he's definitely brilliant.

And David? Finch is one of Adrian's favorite directors, first, he tells stories, and secondly, he keeps a sharp one of his own while telling stories. Spielberg is the most storytelling director, but often he has to bow his head to business and entertainment. But Finch rarely does that, and it's rare for a director like some author films to express what he thinks of himself without ever taking into account the viewers' views, and to look good while at the same time being uniquely ideological.

But that's why he's always wandering the mainstream dividing line, and the film academy doesn't like him very much. Although Finch once said, "I don't know what the college thinks, and I don't know what an award-winning film looks like," no one knows if it's immune or helpless.

Of course, this is the future, and now Spicey is just beginning to show off, and although the vampire-style real estate agent who played in the movie "The Bikins" two years ago was well received, he's still a little far from being a front-line actor. Finch was even worse. The year before, he had finally won the director of Heterosexual 3, and Fox was dissatisfied with what he was shooting, so he denied the right to edit another edition of the show. The angry Finch immediately announced that it was not his work, so he was still a new director in filmmaking.

“This role belongs to a religious fanatic who believes that the world is filthy and needs to be cleansed with vigorous means, so in the end he does not hesitate to place himself on the altar as a sacrifice for his own ends.” Spicey is a brilliant guy to talk to.

“Unlike a young man like Mills, who grew up watching television, who loved classical music and was good at finding answers in the literature, he solved the case step by step. But also because of the familiarity with the world, there is a lack of enthusiasm for many things.” Freeman commented on his character, "but I liked his last line, ‘Hemingway said that the world was beautiful and worthy of our struggle, I agree with the second half'. ”

“Though life is quite satisfying, Mills, like most young people, is brave, impulsive and angry, so eventually John? Du selects an ‘anger' spokesperson.” This is Dennis' view of his role.

“Very well, your opinions are all very valuable," Adrian nodded with a smile listening to the actor, then turned to Finch, who sat beside him without a sound from beginning to end, "What about you, David? ”

Finch drooped his head low and his index fingers were tapping at each other at a rhythm, because of his baseball cap, he couldn't see his face clearly. A few seconds later, he looked up, thinking to Adrian, “What is the theme you want to express, Ed? Or... what did you think when you wrote this script? ”

“What do you think?” Adrian picked an eyebrow, "if you want to ask me about John? With Du's opinion, David, I can only regret to tell you that I have no opinion whatsoever. I'm just writing a story, just that it's amazing enough. As for what the film wanted to say, that was the director's responsibility, and what the producer needed to ensure was the viewability of the story, and even the director should not show too many opinions in the work, saying half and the other half for the audience to guess. ”

Listen to Adrian, Finch Moore, with his chin half-witted, didn't say another word, but he didn't cover his eyes.

“Come on, David, my terms are good enough. What are you hesitating about?” Adrian suddenly laughed, "I'm not one of Fox's idiots, don't forget what kind of movie I first made. ”

Said he was looking at Fischer in a bit of a drama: "Or didn't Tom tell you that? ”

Innocent Fischer shrugged, and Finch couldn't help but laugh, and he took off his baseball cap and scratched his head: "Well, obviously, I have no reason to refuse. ”

Indeed, in addition to the final editorial rights, Adrian handed over all the rights to the film venue to him, even on the later clips, indicating that his opinion would be fully respected and that there would be no such thing as heterosexual 3, which was already a very generous condition for a new director.

As a result, the preparations for the Seven Crimes were finalized, essentially the original Benjamin horse, except for Dennis, who replaced Pete in Mills. This is the route Adrian designed for Dennis to exercise his rubber mud abilities with a wide variety of characters, some of which resemble the transformative character of Spacey. However, Spacey was born into a formal drama school, with a more orthodox act and a bit of stage style; Dennis relies entirely on his own exploration and experience, which may be relatively more thorough to transform, but that requires constant accumulation. Adrian would love to see him play with Spicey at his peak, if Dennis could follow the design path.

As for Pete, that doesn't matter about Adrian, maybe he'll take Cruz's baton and become a new generation of idols and say not necessarily... Well, as if he were?

There are two other reasons why you chose to produce The Seven Crimes. Yes, Kevin? Spacey and David? Finch. The more talent you always have in your hand, the better, like Michael waiting for the virgin to show? That's funny, Michael? Bay and David? Finch has accumulated experience shooting MTV, but the two of them have embarked on two diametrically opposite paths in filmmaking, which is that people are different.

Okay, here we go again. Anyway, Adrian noticed Kevin two years ago? Spacey and David? Finch, because their brokers were affiliated with the broker company that AC Media acquired, and they did so long before Adrian acquired them. In fact, the broker of that company also serves several unfamiliar actors and directors known to Adrian, which is why they became the target of their acquisition.

In short, the idea of producing the Seven Crimes was there, after all, Finch's famous work, and the script was written by the writers early, and now it's just a reference to the schedule.

“Well, that's it.” Half an hour later, Adrian stood up and shook hands again with several people, "I look forward to your performance, gentlemen. Especially you, Kevin, if you can give me a totally different image, and you can't even think of the real estate agent in The Baikin Nation, I have a great script for you. ”

“Really?” Spacey raised her eyebrows and looked somewhat flattered.

“Of course," Adrian's smile seemed unpredictable, "in a sense, it was a one-way show for a man, and he needed very good acting. Want me to bet on that, Kevin? ”

“Then wait and see.” Spicey nodded, hiding her emotions from you, but the hidden excitement in her eyes did not escape Adrian's eyes.

After Freeman and Dennis congratulated and encouraged Spacey, Finch, with his chin in his chin, said, "Oh, yeah, do you have any advice for the actress, Ed? ”

“Oh, I was going to do a small audition, but the day before I got back from Alabama, I suddenly thought of a good candidate, but I just haven't been in touch.” Adrian said, "I'll be sure as soon as I can. Don't worry, I promise she'll fit the character. ”

“Well, then I'll leave.” Finch didn't care about it and said he was ready to leave when he found out.

The same was true of the other three, who greeted Adrian and left.

“Wait, Dan, I have something else to talk to you about.” Adrian called Dennis.

After everyone else left the conference room, Adrian punched Dennis with a smile: “What's going on? Your spirit doesn't look very good today. ”

“Is it obvious?” Dennis asked with some surprise.

“Of course not, but don't forget I know you very well.” Adrian smiled.

Dennis sighed, spread his hand open and didn't say anything. Seeing that he didn't want to talk about it, Adrian moved on to the subject: "How do you feel? This role is not what it used to be. ”

“Fine,” Dennis pinched his nose and his face suddenly changed, "it's fine if you just put in that emotion, after all, everyone has been impulsive and angry. But to master that degree and dig deeper into the character, I'm afraid I need to practice again and again. Besides, I don't know anything about David's style of coaching, and I don't know what this character is like in his mind, so..."

He made a gesture and sighed, “Why not you, Ed? ”

“What, you're easier to name my role requirements?” Adrian asked jokingly.

“Of course not,” Dennis waved, "you know, those directors and producers said privately that your style of mentoring was unpretentious, and even the two very similar films," Two Big Smoke Guns "and" Low Volume Novel, "were surprisingly different in many places, so how could I know what you wanted from the character? ”

“Ha, that's a compliment, isn't it?” Adrian raised his hand with some exaggeration.

“Well,” Dennis shrugged, "what I'm trying to say is that, if you were in charge, it would obviously be easier for us to communicate, and it would be easier to understand what effect you want. ”

“Another compliment, it's almost a bum.” Adrian smiled and patted Dennis' arm: “That's it, you never let me down, so don't do it this time. ”

And after a pause, he said, “Besides, I have a suggestion to make, you know, with David. ”

Adrian looked at Dennis and said, “Remember what I told you before? You don't fit all the movies I want to make, and he's a good director. ”

It took Dennis about a few seconds to digest his words, and he nodded. “I get it, thank you. ”

Adrian smiled and patted him in the arm again, but Dennis showed hesitation because he remembered something.

“What's the matter?” When Adrian realized this, he asked.

“Hmm...” Dennis said, hesitating for a few minutes, "I think we talked about TV actors earlier, and you said it would be difficult to transform after being extremely popular in a popular series like Jenny's. ”

“Yes, I remember I told you that Old Friends was at least ten seasons old and their image was fixed in the eyes of the audience, and it would be unacceptable if it changed.” Adrian nodded.

“Is there no other way?” Dennis frowned.

“Unless…" Adrian thought, "Unless from now on conscious changes, such as performances in characters that are completely contrary to the character of television dramas, may be able to diminish the image that has not yet been fully established. ”

“So, what role do you think Jenny would fit in?” Dennis went on to ask.

Adrian pinched her chin and thought, a somewhat prank thought emerged: “Jenny's image in The Old Friends is a sweet one, some confused big lady's image, if you want to change, you can play some, there are a lot of more powerful women in action. ”

“Action scene? You mean, let Jenny deal with heterosexuals or terrorists like Ripley or McLane?” Dennis had an incredible look, and it was obvious that such a lens could not or would be difficult to outline in his head.

“Why not?” Adrian laughed, "You know, just an hour ago, I had a writer-director discussion about how to show the power of women in film and television, and decided to make a TV show about a teenage girl saving the world, and why couldn't Jenny try to play that role in a movie? ”

Speaking of the back, Adrian's tone was obvious, but Dennis shrugged and asked, “So, do you have the right character, Ed? ”

“The right character? Seems...” Adrian was just about to answer, and suddenly he thought of something that looked at Dennis like a smile, "What's wrong with you today, Dan? Why are you so enthusiastic about Jenny? ”

Denniston shook a chill and revealed an innocent look: "Is there? ”

“Of course, you talk about the right role from the transition to whether there is one right now. ”

“That's because... we're friends, very good friends. ”

“Oh, yeah, very good friends, come on, Dan, tell me, are you guys in bed? ”

With his mouth open, Dennis grinned and finally covered his forehead: "Yes. ”

The answer was weak, as if something had gone wrong, and Adrian shook his head: “Come on, Dan, it's just sex. Do you need to go to the confession room to confess? ”

“But we've always been friends. ”

“Why didn't you think of that when you slept with her? ”

'Cause it was an accident at her house, and then we all had a lot of wine, just once, right? ”

Dennis rolled down his throat, staring at Adrian as if he wanted to argue, and eventually drowned his head: "Okay, Ed, let's not talk about this, shall we? ”

“You think it doesn't exist without talking, man?” Adrian hasn't let him go, "I bet Jenny has the heart to pursue you. ”

“She's already confessed," Dennis sighed, "and she announced she was going after me after the * point that morning. ”

“So you want to make it up to Jenny this way, and then you draw the line with her," Adrian shook her head, “What do you want me to say about you, Dan? You're such an idiot. If you say that to Jenny, you're fucked. ”

“But it's much better than this, I love sp;“ you bastard, ”Adrian shook his head with a smile, his eyes Dennis, so he didn't go on,“ Well, I'll keep an eye out for the action character that suits Jenny for you, so let's do the rest ourselves. ”

He laughed again when he said it was over: "Well, I'll do you another favor. I have other movies to ask this time back, and one of them is going to invite your girlfriend to the show. ”

“You mean," you don't? ”Dennis, make a gesture.

“Do you think I'm that kind of person?” Adrian immediately raised his eyebrows.

“Of course not,” Dennis raised his hand the first time, "thank you, thank you very much. ”

What a fool, such a good opportunity. Since coming out of the conference room, Adrian has been saying that in his heart. But when he got back to the office, he threw it behind his head, because Charlize walked in with his itinerary tomorrow.

“I've already contacted her agent and have a date scheduled for tomorrow afternoon, plus a woman just called you.” Charlize said in a chilling tone, "If you can, please tell me which other women you have so I can make better arrangements for you. ”

“You know, Charlie,” Adrian looked at her laughing a little far-reaching, "I never hid. ”

Charlize snorted and turned away from the room.

Some jealousy. Adrian smiled and thought, then flipped through what she had left behind and accidentally revealed it in his eyes. I thought you'd given up. I didn't think you'd make it.
