King of Hollywood

Chapter 65: Getting Started

“Hey, Emma, that's not gonna work. Don't laugh. Be serious and serious. The lady with your name is a lady. If it doesn't work, you can take Kayla as Mr. Knightley. She's his last name anyway.” Adrian looked at the two girls in front of him and, despite his constant gesture, spoke quite softly.

“This is too much trouble. Is acting so much trouble?” The little guy complained with his mouth and looked depressed with the script.

“That's what you're asking, honey.” Adrian's laughing, “you said to read the script, you said to learn to act, and you deliberately let Kayla play with you, and now you're saying trouble. ”

“But... but...” Emma felt something was wrong, but she couldn't say, and her mouth couldn't help but get taller.

“It's all right, Emma, let's try again. Just a few more times and we'll figure it out.” Kayla comforted herself and glanced at Adrian with an unexpected look.

Adrian, who noticed this, had to pick his eyebrows and measure Kayla again? Knightley sliced her hair short and wore neutral clothes. She would look more like a boy if it weren't for the five officials, which also made her eyes smell provocative.

But Adrian didn't take it personally. He knew it was just Kayla's subconscious move, and by the time she visited Brave Heart's crew, she would have some negative opinions, like she was rejecting everything around her. With his observation of women, how can he not see that Kayla's heart is hiding a strong sense of inferiority?

At the beginning of this conclusion, Adrian was somewhat incredible. In terms of appearance alone, Kayla does have some drawbacks, such as the fact that the lines on her face are now a little stiff, but generally a very soft girl, and some fake boys are completely different things. Jules, who is currently head of the Bosworth Film Editorial Department, is the standard fake kid, and anyone who sees it will think it's a clean boy unless they have long hair and makeup.

And Kayla's parents loved her very much, and her family were very close, and Adrian couldn't think of anything to be ashamed of. It wasn't until Savion told him that Kayla was suffering from more severe dyslexia.

Imagine that books are already one of the most basic and most important skills of humankind, and when peers read more fluently and get praises from teachers and parents, they look at strange words that don't make sense. Such a blow is undoubtedly enormous for a child who has not yet established three views.

No wonder in the future, she won't be able to express herself very well. Those interviews will show up almost exclusively with remarkable words to attract attention. Plus that awkward figure, it's also unexpected to feel inferior - don't talk about her being happy with her figure, which woman doesn't want to have her own devilish figure? But how could she be so stupid to deny and shy away when these flaws became her characteristic after she became famous and began to be admired? She was a bit arrogant, and probably developed a strange personality that didn't look at anything but looked anxious.

Disadvantages are the normal, fresh people, and I'm happy to help people correct them. Keira looked at Emma and laughed, Adrian with a smile on her face said so in her heart.

“Ed, do you need to see it now?” Kayla's mother, Savin, walked over.

“Already done?” Adrian was somewhat surprised to pick up the paper she handed over, "you're very efficient. ”

“Adjustments are made only on the basis of existing ones.” Savin shrugged after saying hello to her daughter.

“You're so modest, I thought you'd have two more days to finish the modification.” "Adrian smiled and flipped open the paper, leaving Savion smiling all over his face without showing a trace of compliment.

After a few minutes he finished reading it, it wasn't a big change, otherwise he wouldn't have left Savion alone.

“Very well, that's what I want, thank you, Savin.” Adrian nodded.

“I'm glad to satisfy you, but Ed, let me mention that this is still important for the whole novel and has partly contributed to Emma's transformation.” Savin said that again.

“I know, so this will be presented in a conversation between Mr. Knightley's brother and Miss Emma," Adrian explained, "In short, I want to minimize the content. After all, this is a romantic romantic romantic comedy film, where romance, love and comedy are the main elements, and other things can be found, but they cannot affect these three points. ”

“Of course you have your own considerations.” Savin didn't say anything more, nodded and went to talk to his daughter.

Adrian stretched out a comfortable lazy waist and continued to read the modified scripts in his hand. Even though a lot of people say Jane? Austin likes to ridicule the "door-to-door" view in her work, but in fact she herself agrees somewhat with that view.

Austin's novel rarely had a complete tragic character, but there was such a pair in Emma that a noble lady, despite her family's strong objections, married an officer to the great love commission, and continued her luxurious life after marriage, leaving her family in debt and suffering, and her son died ill before the age of three. In contrast to the other four pairs of men and women in the original book, identities and status match, Mr. Knightley is the owner of the estate and Emma has a £30,000 dowry. Even a few others bring happiness to female roles, none are not wealthy men.

As for the aristocratic lady, there was a ten-minute discussion, which was mixed with her friends' advice to Emma (note), but it was obviously a little too long and there was a suspicion that the hustle and bustle had taken over her. Adrian thought for a long time before deciding to take it off, it was impossible to move all the contents of the original book onto the screen for 120 minutes at the most, and had to be discarded; second, as stated earlier, the theme of the film was romantic romance comedy, and nothing else could be allowed to dilute the subject.

The original Emma was probably the result of this and other factors that led to the reputation and the loss of the box office. Adrian is not going to let himself do the same. He is a miracle director after all. This optical circle must be maintained, even if the box office is really not good by then, at least the cost can be earned back.

Of course, modifying such a scenario alone is not guaranteed, so Adrian also figured out a number of ways to reduce costs, such as putting Emma behind Brave Hearts, where most people and a few props are universal, which equates to cost-sharing.

As for the possibility of being awkward after the modification, Adrian did not take it personally. Although he had to maintain the halo, it was not intolerable to fail once or twice. It was not a bad thing to take advantage of this opportunity to exercise. Even if he had planned for the future, it did not mean that he intended to steal from beginning to end.

“Mr. Director, everything is ready.” An assistant ran over.

“Good, then hurry,” Adrian jumped right up, "the weather forecast said of possible rain this afternoon. ”

Emma also has a lot of exterior scenery, although many problems can be overcome, the darkness of the weather can adjust the camera's lens, no sun can replace it with lights, but when it rains, there is no way. And the big problem with the British weather for the movie crew was not knowing when it was going to rain, Adrian had suffered enough when he shot Howard Manor and Brave Heart, so he started to move as soon as he heard what was ready.

“Come on, guys, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go."

As early as two years ago, in an effort to find a way to treat her dyslexia, Savion played a guest role with Keira in various movie venues, and although many of them were in a backdrop, Keira enjoyed not getting in each other's way and improved somewhat.

Now that you're rarely working in a miracle director's crew, Shavin certainly won't let go of the opportunity. Adrian also enjoyed herself, giving Emma a character with a line even though she had very few child characters. That's why Kayla plays acting games with little guys.

Just before Adrian, the Gwyneth walkway was almost in place, and the classic English lady's dress with lace in ink and green made his eyes shine: "You're beautiful, Gwynnie. ”

“Thank you.” Gwyneth gracefully raised the skirt in arrears, and Juan Xiuzhong was a little feisty.

“Are you free tonight?” She asked with a smile, "It's rare that no paparazzi followed me, and I wanted to go around. ”

“Tonight?” Adrian couldn't help but sigh, "unfortunately, the little guy asked me to accompany her tonight. ”

“Emma wants you to stay with him?” Gwyneth picked out the eyebrows and looked away and was talking to someone else. Charlize, “You stayed with her all night yesterday, didn't you? ”

“You know, I was tired yesterday and I couldn't tell her the story, so she insisted on making it up to me today.” Adrian shrugged, "If only you'd said so earlier, I'd already said yes. ”

“Unfortunately, I was going to impress you.” Gwyneth sighed a little exaggerated and still stumbled away from Charlize from time to time, not wanting to show the faint look in her eyes.

These didn't escape Adrian's gaze, he had to be a little strange. Gwyneth and Charlize didn't socialize much during this time. Although he made out with Charlize a lot, he avoided Gwyneth. Even if she knew, she would pretend not to know, but it was really strange to see her like this.

He didn't think too much, let's do the most important thing first.

“All right, let's get ready, watch out for another string.” Adrian said half-hearted.

Honestly, when Gwennis said "impressed," she really aroused his curiosity, and she said the same thing that night. However, this does not make him change his mind. It is only a matter of math that he has spoken, and it is not him who is in a hurry. Instead, the proper disguise will yield more.

Indeed, after listening to him say that, although Gwinnis walked to the set as promised, the disappointing divine color was so overflowing that the first simple lens had to be adjusted twice.

What kind of surprise would you bring, Gwynnie? Adrian watching the monitor thought so in his heart.

The cold wind blows, the leaves float with the wind, the sound of sand, the afternoon sun shines in the woodland, the young women sitting on the floor legs are vibrantly talking, wearing classical clothing, every move is particularly elegant, like a still life painting. Even if the sun was created manually, it would not change the atmosphere.

“Very well" Adrian looked at the monitor and shouted, then several assistants quickly took the coat and put it on the front for the ladies. Although it was May, it was still a little cold between the woodlands.

“Thank God it's been a beautiful couple of days and everything's going well, so that's it for today.” He then announced that it was the next day, and luckily it had not rained, and the weather forecast could not be relied upon.

I talked to the people around me, and Adrian walked over to Savion's mother and daughter, and Kayla had finished her shot, and Savion's script had been approved, and it was enough to spend another night in town.

“So be careful on the road,” he said with Emma in his arms and looked specifically at Kayla, "Come on, Kayla, I'm sure it would be great if you were willing to be an actor and work hard for it. ”

“Do you really think so, Ed?” Savington was a little excited, and the miracle director's name was there.

“Yes,” Adrian nodded, "I think Kayla has some potential, but it's mostly up to her. ”

Here he squatted down in front of the girl, looking into each other's eyes: “Well, how about making a deal with me, Kayla, if you can make it to my request in three years, I'll give you a role. ”

“So... what's your request?” Kayla turned her eyes and asked after half an hour.

“We'll see,” Adrian laughed, "Yes, it's an unequal treaty, and I think it's easy to break a treaty, for example, if it's hard to get a title or if you don't meet my requirements, so do you have the courage to say yes? ”

“Then it's settled." The girl immediately lifted her chest and looked at him with arrogant eyes. Her mother couldn't even get her mouth in time, and the excitement was really useful.

“Kayla...” Savin finally sighed and touched her daughter's head.

“Don't worry, Mom, I don't think being a famous miracle director would cheat a little girl this way, would it?” After comforting her mother, Kayla frowned and looked at Adrian.

“I have to say, your daughter is really smart, Savannah.” Adrian Haha laughed, and Emma in her arms laughed, though unknown.

“Emma, let Charlie stay with you today.” Seeing Savin's mother and daughter leave, watching the crew being packed, Adrian said to the little guy in his arms.

The guy twisted his head and looked at him for a long time before he had a ghost face: “Got it. ”

At the end of the day, the rest of the day is naturally a break, and Adrian walks around town with Gwyneth, which he promised yesterday. Walking with an elegant woman in this ancient town without a paparazzi is also a pleasant thing to confess.

“You know, being an actor can be really fun sometimes, because you can do things in a movie that you thought you couldn't do.” Not as usual, Gwyneth walked with her hair down and said, with a slight smile on her mouth, her grey eyes were bright and had a special rhyme in them, and the performance seemed to allow her to incorporate the elegance of an English woman into her bones.

“That's the charm of the movie, and a lot of things that are not possible in reality can be expressed in the movie.” Adrian replied with a smile.

“So me and I like to show different images, experience different stories, and then...” Say here she stopped, her throat shrugged gently, then her eyes blinked and she didn't look at Adrian, “accept everyone's cheers and praise. ”

Gwyneth's temperament suddenly changed and her chin rose high, giving her a sense of disregard for everything. Her breathing was slightly rushed and seemed calm, but her hands had pinched her fist.

Adrian picked the eyebrows for indelibility. It's funny how she shows her attitude in disguise. What exactly did Charlize say to Gwyneth to make her say that? Looks like we're gonna have to get a chance to talk to Charlize, and, of course, “reward” her.

“Everyone will cheer and praise you, Gwinnie, I promise.” Adrian said in an unquestionable tone.

So they looked at each other halfway, smiling again from Gwyneth's face, and the elegance of the past came back to her, reaching out and holding Adrian's arm: "Let's go back. ”

In the following time, the two of them no longer talked about it, dined, chatted, shadowed, and made small games, and Gwyneth finally regained the character of an American woman, laughing invisibly in a guessing game.

“Spread your hair, Gwinnie, it's loose.” Laughing and dropping the list of words in her hand, Adrian said, pointing to Gwyneth's hair.

“Is your hair going to split?” His face fluttered red, his eyes all smiled into the moon-toothed Gwyneth immediately revealed her worried look, touching her head to confirm before relieving her breath: “Fine, just a little, if it's completely loose, I can't do this alone. ”

“What's the matter?” Adrian puzzled, “Today's show is done, why keep this hairstyle? ”
