King of Hollywood

Chapter 93: The Miracle Director and His Miracle Ladies

“Then go on.” After getting the feedback, Adrian said so and called Gwennis to tell her.

“Really?” Gwyneth's voice sounded a little tired in joy, and after Halloween she returned to Rosalito, where Cameron was not the kind of director who liked to drag, especially when Adrian was so trusted that his filming cycle was long, largely because of his overquest for perfection.

It was interesting and contradictory to say that, on the one hand, he did not want to keep the schedule tight and, on the other hand, he was constantly pursuing perfection and the prolongation was always unpleasant. Adrian had checked the schedule of the Titanic, which was no different from turtle climbing, and had he been in charge, the male and female protagonists would have met.

So you can imagine Cameron's working attitude, and according to Adrian, everyone in the crew has suffered a lot, and Gwyneth is no exception.

“Of course, if you read the paper, you'd know I wasn't lying to you. I told you you were, and you would be, and you'd be better off playing the part now,” Adrian said with such comfort. “Well, remember to come back to the premiere before Thanksgiving and tell James that if he didn't let go, I'd come to him myself. ”

In fact, the voice of criticism is not without it, and there are British film critics who think Gwyneth is doing something slightly and is hard in many places; and there are American film critics who think she shouldn't be playing an Englishman at all, because this is tantamount to erasing her qualities. And in the movie, British film critics think Emma has nothing to do with the style and elegance that was previously displayed in Howard Manor, too much to turn around the relationship between men and women to weaken the potential ideas of the story, the only good part is that the pace is better than Howard Manor; American film critics criticize Adrian for being too indulgent in English-style films, and this year's two new works tell the story of England, which is just too bad.

You see, in a more extreme way, everywhere, of course, these people are a minority, and the vast majority of the film critics who took part in the screening gave Emma a high score, and if the score is the highest, then the film should be infinitely close to four. As for the tabloids that liked pricks, they didn't want to take part in the screening, so they had to make a few picks from the side.

For example, in the serious media, it's amazing how efficiently Adrian has finished filming Emma within two months of April and then had to deal with it in a later stage of production before Thanksgiving, with a lot of publicity and a pretty good quality. But the tabloids believe that Emma started after the Brave Heart was finished, but put it on the front page, so there must be something wrong with Brave Heart.

“Perhaps the miracle director realizes that he's not so sure about war movies, maybe he feels too stressed, so he can only make changes with constant delay, otherwise why can't they be shown first? Perhaps he'll refrigerate it for a few months, like Smell the Fragrant Woman.” There is a speculation in the tabloids that they are always happy to do this irresponsible and eye-catching behavior.

Adrian didn't know that, even if he did, he wouldn't care. Nobody knows why he put "Brave Heart" behind him except for a few senior executives in the company, so the tabloids like to guess, and now the most important thing is the premiere of "Emma", in order to get a talkative result in the box office.

In sum, the cost of Emma is not low, so the size of the premiere is not low, although it can't be compared to those of super large production, there are still a lot of guests, and there are a lot of reporters outside the theater. For many people, parties, premieres, liquor parties, etc. are places of opportunity, not to mention the premiere of the work of the miracle director. Together with the distribution, which was entrusted to Miramax, they had a very good set in that regard, even though the budget was relatively modest.

“Excuse me, please step aside.” Roger shouted as he squeezed through the crowd, and he looked at it with a little bit of scorch and finally caught a familiar man: "Hey, William, have you seen Mr. Adrian? ”

Although Roger has been managing film-related, private economic affairs for Adrian, he is well acquainted with each other, but he usually refers to him as "Mr. Adrian” on entirely private occasions.

“This reminds me who I'm working for.” In response to Adrian's query, he replied that, of course, it also gave him a fairly solid position.

A tall man passing by Roger was suddenly unable to defend himself, and he pulled him over, almost tripping, and immediately complained angrily: "What are you doing, Roger? ”

“Sorry, man, I didn't mean to.” Roger busily apologized to him and immediately asked, “I'm looking for Mr. Adrian, Harvey of Miramax? Weinstein is anxious to talk to him. Do you know where he is now? I looked all over the front room and I didn't see him. ”

“Does that have to be asked? Since it's not in the front room, it's definitely in the side lounge," William? Reward was not cheerful and said, "Look which one is hanging outside, don't bother, then he must be in there. ”

“Oh, my God, I forgot this, thank you.” Roger slapped him on the arm and left, but was pulled by the other hand.

“You don't want to go now, do you?” Rivard said, laughing and not laughing.

“You mean...” Roger raised his eyebrows and immediately thought of a possibility, while Rivard nodded with certainty, indicating that he was right.

“Well... well, it seems I have to tell Mr. Harvey that this is not a good time to talk.” After mumbling, Roger sighed and said, like Rivard, there was a little drama and envy in his tone.

What would Adrian do, anybody close to him know that Roger did, William, his assistant director several times? So did Rivard. Though nothing is said in the mouth, a thumb is inevitably raised in the heart. Even though this is common in Hollywood, few women can be cured by spinning among themselves like Adrian. Of course, it would be nice to know these things for yourself, if you take them out and talk nonsense...

In the theatre lounge, the woman was sitting in front of the dresser tidying her clothes, she was dressed in a pink thin shoulder strap, her blonde hair was high and held up behind her head to form a haircut, revealing a clean white goose neck and two-thirds of her back spine, which was quite seductive, while the face in the mirror was satisfied with a smile, bright and sexy.

“You're so tempting, Gwinnie.” Zipped up his pants and put the tie on his shirt, Adrian walked over and hugged her from behind, smiling and warmly kissing her on the shoulder.

“It happens all the time, and you seem to like doing it in this kind of thing.” Gwyneth glanced at Gwyneth as she pulled the sling on her skirt.

“Hey, it looks like you dragged me here today.” Adrian warned.

“You can totally refuse, can't you?” Gwyneth immediately rebutted, well, never compare to a woman on this topic, so Adrian quickly raised his hands: “Okay, my fault. ”

Then he sat down beside her and smiled in his ear: "Don't you think it's exciting to make out in a room with a crowd of people just one wall away? Oh, maybe I should let somebody knock the wall out and switch to the cops? The kind we use in the D.A., we can see outside and we can't see our mirrors outside, and that would definitely be more exciting, and maybe someone would dress up in the mirror. ”

“You're nasty, Ed." Gwennis frowned, but the tone smelled delicate.

Adrian, dressed in his clothes, stood up and reached out: "Okay, let's get out of here, the movie's about to start, and you'll see your perfect performance soon. ”

“I can't wait.” Gwyneth stood up and grabbed his arm, just as she had previously walked into the theater under the watchful eye of many journalists.

Although the shutter kept ringing and the flash didn't stop, Adrian didn't care. Journalists like to shoot if they like, but there's been a rumor about him and Gwyneth before, and some things will be revealed sooner or later, rather than mixing up the water and the better.

“By the way, Ed, it's Thanksgiving soon. Maybe we can plan something?” Gwyneth suddenly said that after leaving the lounge.

“Sorry, Gwinnie, I've got Thanksgiving planned.” Adrian answered unexpectedly, tapping her hand on her arm with sincere apologies.

The complexity slipped away from Gwyneth's eyes, and although she was ready, she didn't expect Adrian to refuse so simply. Of course she knew what Adrian had planned, and many things he hadn't deliberately concealed, which made Gwyneth want to have a little temper and a little wrist, so she had to bite her lips gently.

The film is undoubtedly quite good for adapting the famous romantic comedy. For decades, many viewers have been laughed at by interesting plots, warmer colored images look very comfortable, and the attentive clothing and scenes put the Victorian style of the English estate into place, and Gwyneth's performance is impressive.

“Oh, Mr. Knightley, don't you think that's a good idea?” When Gwyneth spoke this line on the screen, her mouth curled slightly, her eyes turned slippery, and she looked so cute with a little pride and evil, she twisted her teacup with two fingers and carelessly delivered it to her mouth, so after the end, she rang a lot of applause.

“Never had an American actress? Like Gwyneth, no American director could make such a beautiful English-style film like Adrian, a great actress? And with a great director, there's this great movie.” - The Independent.

“Adrian's mastery of English style remains elusive, although it may not compare to Howard Manor on the subject.” - Empire.

“Gwyneth's amazing act can shut up those questionable voices.” - Chicago Tribune

After the screening, Miramax's PR skills were really good, because journalists who had long been arguing about it suddenly waved their pen poles. They were very good at using form propaganda to create momentum. After the screening, good reviews accounted for 90, but after the premiere, the figure dropped to 85, and the vast majority of film critics in the United States gave high marks.

In spite of all the controversy in the British press, some people think Emma is nothing like Howard Manor, Adrian's level of leadership is falling in a straight line, and some people think Gwennis' speech is too much. The staff won't lose to her at all, but generally they prefer positive reviews.

From what the movie stands for, Emma is not as good as Howard Manor. After all, the former is only a comedy of love, and the latter is much more profound. But who let the movie come out of Adrian's hands? The miracle director's name, coupled with his outstanding work and achievements, is enough to fill the gap, not to mention that Milamax, led by the Weinstein brothers, didn't lose out on LaVerne-held Bosworth at all in publicity.

So is Gwyneth, and if it's just a movie show, is it any good British actress? Anyone can do it, but the problem is, she's different, a native? Native American actress? Instead, the staff performed an unmistakable English flavour, which should satisfy the pride of the British. Not to mention Adrian's Eye Boost: What's the miracle director's favorite act? The members will all get success. Nature has also received more praise.

So Emma, who had only won the reputation but lost the box office, got the Wande box office in the first week of the show, which is not particularly good, but it's already good relative to cost, and the likelihood of cost recovery from the box office alone has increased considerably. And Gwyneth 'popularity soared. Was she supposed to be a second-rate actress? The person she jumped immediately stood on the line of sight.

“Remember what I told you?” Adrian said softly after receiving Gwyneth's call.

“Oh, I love you, Ed, I love you very, very much.” Gwyneth responded with excitement.

But as the movie was popular, his scandal with Gwyneth began to get a little arrogant, after all, the night of the premiere, Gwyneth entered the theater with his arm in close photographs taken by countless people. So the gossip-making tabloids immediately took action - and that's why the movie received a high percentage of positive reviews. The newspapers were busy covering the scandals.

Some tabloids turned over the old news of Emma's earlier shooting, saying that they had started dating. Some tabloids, based on two previous reports on Adrian and Julia, consider the miracle director to be stepping on two boats. Another tabloid turned up a photo of Adrian dating Monica, thinking Gwyneth was a cover, and he was still dating Julia.

At one time, all kinds of inside news came out, greatly satisfying the public gossip.

And as the most well-known tabloid, The Sun simply made a list, not only of Monica, Julia, and Gwyneth, but also of Blanchett, and the title of the story was: The Miracle Director and his Miracle Girls.

At the same time, they line up what's known, like being a very rare Italian actress in Hollywood, in the mouth of a spectator they see with their own eyes? Officer, Monica? Belucci stood on his heels precisely because of Adrian's "Lowlife Novel," and then developed to determine his status, and Adrian personally admitted she was his muse at the Cannes Film Festival; or Julia? When Roberts became popular for "Retaining a Lover," he was also revitalized for his appearance in Adrian's Four Weddings and a Funeral, and there was news that Adrian had rewritten the script for her; then Kate? Blanchett, who is said to have been invited several times when selecting a female lead to produce Speed of Life and Death; as for Gwyneth? Not to mention, Pat, what would it take to get a director to use an American actress? An English character?

“Apparently, Adrian is more in love with elegant women, especially Kate? Blanchett and Gwyneth? Patrolo, very similar in character and appearance, Julia? Not to mention Roberts, Monica? Belucci may be a trait, but it's all the same, so I was thinking, when his other piece comes out, Sophie? What will Marcel look like?” Journalists at Sun ended the story with this passage.

Unfortunately, Kate was forgotten. Although she had played in four films about Adrian, she could not be particularly impressed. Tornado was a good opportunity. Unfortunately, the huge catastrophe robbed everyone, and she soon became pregnant, so she slowly faded out of sight.

But the result was that Adrian had a very depressing Thanksgiving, and Kate was also a woman, equally unreasonable, especially at a time when the scandal was full of air.
