King of Hollywood

Chapter 202: The Ununderstandable Script

Screenwriters in the editorial department left with confusion and uncertainty, why would a miracle director want to write a script that no one could understand? But that didn't prevent him from taking the script back and organizing it quickly for Adrian. All the writers in the Bosworth Film Editorial Department knew it was bad, and the two other film companies - and even the other big ones - were envious of them.

In two cases, Adrian gave an outline, which they filled out in detail and then read by him, repeatedly knowing that it had been modified to his satisfaction. One was written by him himself, but he was confused because he was anxious to get it done quickly, and they had to sort it out into a standard script format. But either way, those scripts that are filled according to the outline are either selling well or have a good reputation, and Adrian doesn't have a bad time writing their names in the screenwriters' bar about helping to sort them out.

Not to mention the rewards, and the Bosworth writers were so squeezed, there was no other way to make up the story, and a few who left Bosworth were favored by a lot of producers, enough to make other people blush. Film writers, by the way, are less well placed in Hollywood than TV screenwriters, who either finish the script and sell it to the producers or the movie companies, or sign the script that's supposed to be done, and there's nothing left for them after the film is made.

But TV screenwriters are different, and many popular TV dramas are produced while shooting, taking into account the will of the audience. Recently, abc also conducted a survey on the website to see if Raymond should break up with his current girlfriend, which resulted in a support rate of 73, and all three remaining episodes of the female lead character were cut off. Plus, they still have some copyright, so TV drama writers have a relatively large amount of power, and a lot of little actors find ways to get writers to write more for their plays.

Well, without talking about it, the script will be ready to pick the actors and Adrian will be done in two months. There was no such thing in this year's plan, and he was totally temporarily in the mood to prepare a long film for Monica after the summer break, in addition to the Shaun Love History and Elizabeth, which were already mostly completed, which were still busy in hand. The reason why a new script was suddenly written and was ready to start shooting immediately was because, in addition to previous occasions, some people were starting to twist again.

Nearly the 70th Oscar Awards ceremony, the most prominent is undoubtedly the Titanic, a supermassive work, with nearly 300 million invested back in a global box office of 2 billion, plus 15 nominations from former nobody, and no one's going to underestimate James? Cameron, not to mention Adrian, an investor and writer and producer. Such a huge box office, even after all the dividends and expenses deducted, had at least hundreds of millions of net profits, no one had laughed at him for having no place to burn his money, not to mention because the Oscar-nominated cardiac agent, the big boat that had reached the end of the road caused yet another wave, albeit small enough to make many people envious.

If anyone likes it, someone will hate it. Adrian, while he has again established his accurate view because of the Titanic, has not had a single nomination for this year's Oscar, and you know at least there was a nomination for a screenwriter's prize last year. That's not surprising. The only movie he showed last year was taking over Stanley? Kubrick's "Big Eye Ring," and Kubrick's films weren't favored by the Academy of Cinematography, and the writers who participated in the Titanic refused to sign their names, and it was natural that none of them had been nominated.

So one had to take the opportunity to criticize him. Some said that Oscar could finally be fairer. Others said that he had exhausted his talent and was going downhill. There was also a sarcasm that Adrian had done a careful analysis of Kubrick's work, and had learned enough without a nomination.

It doesn't matter what's ahead, it's an exaggeration that some media outlets use to attract attention, but at the end of the day, it attracts a lot of comments. Over time, the Big Eye Ring has been repeatedly compared and analyzed by many with previous works by Kubrick, and like those films, the more favorable the film is at the back, at least in terms of color and music use.

If this is Kubrick's work, people just add all kinds of compliments, but the problem is that Adrian, the best director in the Oscar under thirty, is too young for the directorial profession. Not to mention the considerable achievements in writing and production, but also the super-rich, new and expensive media industry.

Such a man could make films for sale, films that the Academy likes, but producing Kubrick-style films - the so-called "deep digging of humanity”, the "anti-human nature of the system”, and so on - is something that many critics of the sanctity of cinematographic art are reluctant to believe. Even after the film was shown, the paralyzed Kubrick thumbed up the film when it was shown, and many people still didn't want to believe it.

“Adrian could totally modify the movie without being so greedy that he wouldn't get a single nomination.” One critic wrote that he seemed kind enough to think for him, but what he actually said was that, at first glance, these people could somehow be seen in it.

Adrian would have ignored it. These people were nothing more than bitter mouths. They spared no effort to preserve their idols and could not hear anything bad, including who replaced them or mention them. Although this is quite childish, it is not a patent for young people after all, and not every critic can look at things objectively.

He was too lazy to respond and refused all interviews, and those words disappeared before long, until he met Naomi? Watts.

Speaking of which, this beautiful woman who was born in England and grew up in Australia was a real pain in the ass. She worked as a model, couldn't find her place, so she could easily grasp the opportunity to be an actor. She came to Hollywood for a few years and did nothing but act as a passerby in various TV shows or movies, and almost collapsed until David? Lynch's "Muhland Road" featuring the actress became famous and became the best example of the late development of a large vessel.

Yes, David? Lynch, not David? Finch (f

). Different surnames, the director's style is also a North/South retreat. Finch enjoys filming some deeply themed films, and although the editing is powerful and shocking, it's basically understandable. Lynch, who became famous earlier, was different, and his earliest work, "Rubber Head," was an incredibly astringent film, that is, "* Town", which was changed from a movie to a television show by wavefolds to be slightly more understandable, and other things such as "Blue Velvet" or "My Heart Wild", in which Cage participated, were nothing but painful to watch.

Moreover, the turmoil of the past few years, and last year's Lost Highway, made it unbearable for a number of critics who had supported him, to criticize him strongly. David Lynch reflected on it, and a few years later he had the Muhland Road, which was said to require a very high level of intelligence to understand, but unfortunately now he had no chance.

Yes, Adrian's current script is "Muhland Road," which is just in time for the Cannes Film Festival in two months. Don't they like crookedness? So tell them the truth, I can shoot anything.

It's not for temper, it just happens to happen, and then a lot of interesting things come to mind. Honestly, though there are so many beautiful women in Hollywood, Naomi? Watts was also a little older, but still counted among the best, and if she could, she wouldn't necessarily fall into the way Adrian was when he met her, which is exactly why he moved his mind.

Even if someone persists, it will change after constantly hitting the South Wall, and then reaching out to her when she is most vulnerable and in need of help, it is easy to conquer her, so Adrian followed her that night in a pretty good show. It's not entirely acting, Adrian half of the time is sincere, he confirms that she is excellent, that a woman who can persevere is always attractive, can't help but want to write it in her hands and then teach herself what she wants to see.

Beyond that, he did see her videotape in auditions for several of the female partners in The Killing Moment, but he didn't care at the time. The first time he saw her that night, he felt familiar. Although he had memories of previous life, his impression of this life was equally good. In that case, what's the problem with using Muhland Road as well, and then slapping someone? Not to mention... he quickly conceived a few carvings of an arrow.

As for David? Lynch, who cares what he thinks, copies so much, doesn't care about one more, let alone Adrian really doesn't like him. This guy's features have been mentioned before, weird and likes the sword to go off the edge, the clips in every movie are pretty messy, so messy that people can't see the story at all.

Adrian, though he did not like Kubrick, retained some respect, despite the slow pace and length of Kubrick's story and the mysterious number of dialogues, at least a complete story, and played a significant role in promoting film technology, such as the fact that the special effects of Space Roaming 2001 caused a lot of sensation at the time, and Lucas and Cameron were both affected by the film.

But Lynch abandoned the logic of the story altogether, and the original work had that framework of stories, and the next step was to cut irrelevant images into everything, like messing up all the sentences in a novel and then regularly-regrouping it, knowing every word, but not knowing what it was saying when it was linked.

But after all, movies are not novels, movies have scenes and voices, so Lynch's movies are filled with a lot of curious, bloody * * images, and this is used to attract the audience and get them to brain repair —— it's well known that brain repair is powerful, and the audience will always supplement the incomplete story in the direction they want, and circle it, and no one will think they don't understand, like the emperor's new outfit.

And this is what Adrian hates the most, especially after making or copying this many movies, and he keeps insisting that a good movie has to have an appealing story first. Movies are also needed, paintings are good, music is good. The first purpose is entertainment. Only after satisfying entertainment needs can we come back to talk about art and go beyond entertainment to talk about art, which is just the end of Scherbourne.

So even though Lynch didn't give up his tricks in Muhland Road, he just immediately greeted the good voices after adding something that could be more like a mainline than a mainline. And then all sorts of guesses and interpretations come out of the oven, and here's a herald of what's there and what's there to say, as if every lens had a deep heart.

In his previous life, he watched a lot of these movie reviews -- both Chinese and American —— and what's ridiculous is that these superiority surpluses don't understand that a film like this can be made by a graduate director, and that Lynch can shoot as much as he wants, and I'm afraid Lynch is hiding in some corner or staring at them with pride or contempt when they talk about the metaphor of the film in the sun.

All right, let's not talk about it. It took the editors only a day to sort it out, and Adrian started getting people to prepare it, and what the film needed was too simple.

Knock, knock, knock, knock, knock, knock, knock, knock, knock, knock, knock, knock, knock, knock, knock, knock, knock, knock, knock, knock, knock, knock, knock, knock. ”

“Actually, you can say it on the phone, or just let her in, Charlie.” Adrian raised her head and smiled slightly, although Charlize officially called him Sir, her mouth curled slightly, with a hint of glitch and helplessness, which made her look stubborn and cute.

“I thought it was more formal.” Charlize shrugged her shoulders and couldn't make a mockery out of her tone, but Adrian had no intention of arguing with her about these at this time, and went with her hands immediately: "Okay, honey, let her in. ”

The beautiful assistant secretary hummed softly, turning around and walking, as hard as ever. Soon, the knocking sounded again, although the back door was not closed when Charlize walked.

“Come in, Naomi, I've been waiting for you for a while.” Adrian stood up and made a gesture.

Naomi smiled softly and then sat down at the desk. She wore a white suit today. The whole person looked very spiritual. Her fine eyebrows, tall nose and red lips showed no sophistication. Apparently, she had carefully dressed herself, plus a large * wave of soft dropping on her shoulders, her long legs wearing fleshy stockings, and five inches of high heels. The whole person had a sexy feeling only if she became a shu woman.

“Sorry I'm a few minutes late.” She smiled with apologies.

“It's okay, wait for the lady to be virtuous.” Adrian smiled, "You look beautiful today. ”

Naomi's mouth curled slightly with an uncovered appreciation: "Thank you, you can call Naomi, Ed. ”

“Okay, Nami.” Adrian nodded, glittering his eyes, and handed her a document on the table: "I have something to talk about today. Let's take a look at this. ”

Naomi picked it up, looked at the skin, her body trembled slightly, how could she not know what the other person was giving herself. Fortunately, she quickly took control of her emotions, took a deep look at Adrian, and turned around. The office was quiet for the next few decades, and Naomi was always reading the script, except Charlize came in with coffee once.

She didn't read quickly and always turned the page after a delicate taste, although sometimes she frowned and gave a puzzling look, but didn't look up and ask anything. This made Adrian very satisfied sitting at the desk, seemingly reading the documents, but secretly measuring her.

“I'm done.” After closing the script, closing his eyes and having a long exit, Naomi said, “I'm sorry, Ed, I didn't understand the story, except that the actress bought the murder of her own homosexual. ”

“It's perfectly normal. I wasn't meant to be understood.” Adrian laughed, "you can take it back and spend two days reading it carefully, and I need you to take a good look at the female lead, and then we'll talk about it. ”

“You mean... you mean the actress?” Naomi hesitated to say that her breathing was also a little rushed.

“Yes, I told you, you're a very promising actor, so I arranged for you to be the lead actress, and I personally directed you to finish the shooting and editing in two months, and then go to the Cannes Film Festival in May, and maybe give me another golden palm if they want.” At the end of the sentence, Adrian was quite understated, but no one can question his current achievements.

So Naomi lowered her head, her shoulders trembled slightly, she could not be blamed for her breakdown, but after more than a week of kung fu, her life changed dramatically, and now she wants to be the lead actress in a film directed by the miracle director herself, which means that it is self-evident.

“You won't let me down, will you?” Adrian asked softly at this point.

“No, absolutely not.” Naomi raised her head and said in a rather resolute tone, her eyes slightly reddened, but no tears fell, and then she stood up: “I'll take it back and give it a good look. ”

“I look forward to your opinion.” Adrian stood up and spoke with encouragement.

Naomi hesitated and suddenly lowered her voice: "By the way, Ed, can I... invite you to dinner tonight? ”

Adrian picked the eyebrows with some surprise and didn't answer.

“Just making some simple food in the apartment, you know I am now too... I just want to express my gratitude...” The lower Naomi's voice, the more her eyes looked elsewhere, revealing a hint of shame.

“I'm happy to say yes," Adrian laughed, gleaming again, "but unfortunately, I have a party tonight, so let's wait until the next time we discuss the script, it's just for a few days. ”

Despite some disappointment, in his gentle eyes, Naomi nodded slightly in the corner of his mouth...
