King of Hollywood

Chapter 225: Prospect Planning and Preliminary

“This is indeed a beautiful city and one of the best beaches in the world, perfect for a vacation, the French do enjoy it and arrange a film festival here," Adrian, standing at the entrance to the balcony, looking at the view outside, said, waving red liquid back and forth in the glass, relaxing as he is now in the mood. []

“Yes, it's beautiful, it's my first time in Cannes —— I mean, as an actor.” Naomi was sitting in the same cup far away from him, while Nicole, sitting further away, did not speak, and she hung her legs to taste the wine in her hand as if everything around her had nothing to do with herself.

“Later on, dear Nami,” Adrian turns around and smiles, "and soon you'll realize that coming here as an actor doesn't make much difference from coming here as a tourist, and even more freely as an actor. ”

Said here, he accidentally glanced at Nicole, but unfortunately he was still tasting the wine in his hand, and even if he used a more intimate name for Naomi, he couldn't change that.

“I totally believe that, as soon as I get out of the hotel these days, I'll be surrounded by reporters, and I'll only be able to grass around for a few laps.” Naomi sighed and looked away through the balcony, fingers tapping gently in her face.

“Don't worry, the festival opened yesterday, and Muhland Road premiered tonight, and in a few days it will be slowly buzzing around here, and going out again, even with reporters, won't be as much as it is now.” Adrian consoled himself and thought about something and sat down with Naomi: “By the way, Naomi, have you ever done an analysis of yourself? What roles are you good at, what are you not good at, and how do you grow and avoid shortages? ”

Naomi thought about it, and then she shrugged her shoulders helplessly: “You know, I've had almost no part of the character since I started acting, so how is it possible to do this analysis? ”

“Well, I have two thoughts for you now,” Adrian said, “the first is the same as most actresses, the romantic romantic romance comedy line, you're so beautiful and charming, you're so weak and pathetic, you have a pretty good acting, you believe you can get out of different paths in the same way, and I have this role right now. ”

He reached up and lifted Naomi's chin and gently touched her pretty face. Although the movement was gentle, the expression was serious. Naomi couldn't help but lower her head and dare not look at him.

“On the other hand,” Adrian continues, "it's a thrilling route, you know, Muhlando is classified as a crime, suspicious, thrilling type of movie, and since you have performed quite well in films on this subject, it's also a good option to continue and expand on your strengths, and you also have this role here. ”

Slightly further away, Nicole finally lifted her head, just looking at this side and quickly turning to the other side, but her slightly invisible lip bite did not escape Adrian's eyes.

“It's a tough choice," Naomi sighed after thinking about it, but the look of the eye waves seemed to have made a choice, "after all, I had no experience. ”

“It's okay, you have enough time to think and analyze," Adrian chuckled and suddenly a little arrogant appeared on his face, "even if you chose the wrong path, I can let you start over. ”

Naomi laughed softly, but her head went down. Half an hour later, she lifted up again: “What about Nicole? What else did you arrange for her? ”

Although we've only played the troika once so far, and it's still for Muhland Road shooting, Nicole's situation has been guessed by Naomi * *, so you don't have to worry about anything to ask. Anyway, the other party should know the same thing. There's nothing to be ashamed of. Besides...

Smart woman. Adrian praised in his heart. No wonder he had a choice, but he had to say something like that. He immediately looked at Nicole on the subject: “You should have seen the script, Nicole. How about that? ”

“A single mother lived in a manor with two children and then recruited several strange servants, and strange and terrible things kept happening at home, as if there was a ghost invasion, before she finally found out that it was herself and her children who died.” Nicole turned her head and some of the coldness briefed the script on one side and shrugged her shoulders, “I had no idea it was that ‘genius' idea. ”

The word "genius" has a sharp pronunciation, which obviously means the opposite, but Adrian doesn't hesitate to say, "Thank you, it was my idea. ”

“It's also a creepy movie, isn't it?” Naomi asked clearly.

“Yes, Nicole had made some good movies before that, but she only had one label in those movies, which was -- the vase," Adrian said, standing up behind Nicole, putting her hands on her shoulder, Nicole putting the glass down and nothing else, and the color was very calm.

“Like you, Nami, in many TV shows and movies, the guest list is a vase that doesn't pay attention to, but for some reason Nicole has a higher starting point.” Adrian went on to say, "Because you're all too beautiful, and beauty makes people want to take possession, and beauty makes people ignore the rest, and nobody wants to inspire your hearts, that's why you're in this awkward situation. ”

There was a slight tremor in his hands, and Naomi heard a slight distraction, and Adrian, though explicit, spoke of what they really wanted in their hearts.

“So I arranged this movie for Nicole, and in general, the creepy movie is easy to highlight an actor's acting, and that frightened look can contrast sharply with what it looks like when it comes to peace, so long as the fear and fear look credible, it gets a pretty good reputation. And, of course, if you overuse it, it's easy to crumble your performance, and that depends on the actor's grasp. And in addition to the director's explanation, the actor's own sketch, and the state of the shooting, it's also important for the actor to have the fit with the character, which I'm preparing to do very well with Nicole.” Adrian sat down beside Nicole and held her over her shoulder.

“Nami, the first thing you gave me was a tender need for care, so I had that role in Muhland Road. And Nicole, what impressed me most was the cold feeling, the pale face had a bit of nerve, and there was a morbid beauty, which is why I have this role now.” Adrian smiled.

Speaking of which, he finally stopped, and the room was quiet, and Naomi and Nicole were all starting to sound a little crazy, and it wasn't long before Nicole's voice rang again: “Is that what I gave you the impression? ”

Despite her efforts to keep her tone cold, the turmoil was evident.

“For the time being, but I'm sure this impression will change slowly over time, right?” Adrian laughed and slipped his hand down on his shoulder, finally grabbing it under his nipple root through his armpit.

Nicole turned her head and looked at Adrian with blue eyes, and the complexity and some trance flashed away and stood up: "I want to go back and pack up and prepare for the premiere of the evening. ”

She walked out of the suite and Adrian gave Naomi an apologetic look. After returning a worry-free look, she got up and followed Nicole out. Naomi sighed softly as she saw the two of them leave the suite and sat silently on the chair for a moment before standing up and pouring herself another glass of wine.

She shook her mouth twice and took a sip, staring at the red liquid in the cup and then shook her head with a smile, and immediately put her mind to the premiere of the evening, which was the first film she starred in at the international scene.

“You seem a little angry?” Follow Nicole into her suite and Adrian asks.

Although three suites were booked, Naomi basically lived with Adrian and would only evade if someone was looking for him. And Nicole basically stays in her room and doesn't meet two people unless Adrian invites her.

“No, I just... don't think the script you gave me was evaluable.” Nicole shook her head and she wanted to refuse him in, and Adrian wanted to come over and “talk to her” last night, but went back after she refused. But he didn't say anything, especially when he came to Adrian today and opened the door with Naomi's eyebrows.

“Actually, the script is very similar to a movie a few years ago.” Adrian laughed softly, pulling her into his arms and sitting on the couch bench, and now it's just the two of them, and he's naturally bolder.

Nicole struggled slightly and eventually fell into his arms in obedience: “Really? ”

“Of course, you should remember the story of a psychologist and a little boy.” Adrian hinted, "Yes, that's right, Bruce? Willis and Silver? Phoenix's Sixth Sense was my idea, too. Don't you believe my eyes? And there are a lot of logical loopholes in that story, but in the end, the mystery revealed is too shocking to ignore the logical loopholes, and the script has that story for reference, which will be even more perfect. ”

He lowered his head and kissed her face, then smiled again: "Actually, you don't have to be angry. As I said, this is the impression you've given me before, and the impression is constantly changing. ”

“Really?” Nicole, who had a little vision, laughed and sat down, “But first impressions are important, aren't they? ”

She grabbed the hair from her ears with an arrogant mouth, referring to what was self-evident, Adrian smiled with a tantrum, and then sat back and stared at those beautiful eyes in front of her: “Yes, I still remember, right here a few years ago, when you handed me the gold palm, I remember a few dresses in black, a tall figure, a beautiful face, and when you almost fell off the stage, and when I grabbed your arm, that feeling was always hovering in my heart. Probably since then, I've had the idea of trying to take you for my own. ”

Nicole showed surprise for the first time in a few days, and was set to look at Adrian without knowing what to say, and the momentum was completely suppressed.

“You'll see, Nicole, sooner or later you'll be mine, from beginning to end, from inside to outside, all mine.” Adrian smiled and said, as if announcing something.

After a long time, her chest fluctuated several times, and Nicole bit her teeth and said, "Now I'm yours, and even if you wanted me to blow you, I wouldn't refuse, would I? ”

At night, after the light came up, there were quite a few journalists outside the Palos Theatre with red carpets, who were constantly whispering and looking at the end of the street, obviously waiting for someone.

Quickly, there were a lot of people watching the movie. Identified guests began to enter from the red carpet. Although there were a lot of journalists asking for pictures, their slightly distracted appearance showed that they were not the ones they were waiting for until the two cars appeared in people's sights. Two silver Rolls-Royce, which are said to have been flown in by private aircraft, can have such a pen, and no one has to say much.

“Mr. Adrian, why did you choose to participate in the film festival with Muhland Road instead of the other films you made last year?” Adrian, who had just got off the bus and was surrounded by these questions, had not left the hotel in the past few days except for the opening ceremony, and naturally received considerable attention, while Nicole and Naomi, who had since stepped out of the other car, did not receive this treatment, and they went out a few days without answering many questions.

“Simply because the film was made on a temporary basis, with little investment of 15 million, and because of its short production cycle and experimental nature, it was used for the Cannes Film Festival.” Adrian responded very well this time, while clarifying certain things without showing a trace.

For example, there were hundreds of thousands of dollars invested in rumours before, which is a joke. Nicole is not very expensive right now, but she played the part of "The Forever Batman" and still has three or four million pieces. Although Naomi is almost new, Adrian gave her half a million dollars in pieces - once Naomi got the pieces, she returned the rent she had previously “borrowed” and the fees she had used to settle the landlord's wife.

Coupled with spending on forest species, how is it possible to invest only a few hundred thousand like the Two Big Smoke Guns?

“There are rumors that your film is hard to understand. How would you rate it?” A journalist asked ambiguously.

“Just go check it out.” Adrian also gave a smooth answer.

“Heard the film was inspired by Naomi? Ms. Watts, is that so, Mr. Adrian?” Question after question.

“This statement is both correct and incorrect, the idea of the film was long ago, but I always felt something was missing, so I didn't pay for it until...” Adrian said, waiting for Nicole and Naomi to walk right behind him, and then stood in the middle and held the limbs of the two beautiful girls, “Until Naomi I met her, she inspired me a lot, made me enrich the script, and then invited Nicole through again, and their performances were brilliant, without them, the film was incomplete. ”

This left-handed gesture suddenly brings a crazy flash of light. It's not uncommon for a director like this to embrace the actress and co-star of a movie at the same time, but the question is who is holding this person? The loud name was not really seen by the public, but the people in the circle could not be clearer, so if the journalists missed the opportunity, it would be better if they bought a piece of bread and killed it.

After more than 10 seconds, Adrian let go of the two women and walked to the theater - it was one thing to hold the photograph and another to walk all the way in - and the clicking noise continued for half a day before stopping, and the journalists realized that it was impossible to ask questions. But it should be worth it if you can't ask the question, Adrian will definitely stay in Cannes before closing, don't worry about not catching him.

Not to mention, there seems to be something to shoot in front of you, and Nicole and Naomi walked to the theater together, and that intimacy seemed a little beyond the boundaries of a friend.

Finally entering the theater, Adrian sighs in his heart and immediately chills out with someone he doesn't know, Luc? Bethon and Jean? Renault comes to the premiere and naturally greets, in addition to producers, filmmakers, directors or actors from various countries, plus people from his own company, there are many of these guests. Not to mention the film critics and the general audience, which I'm afraid would not have been able to accommodate had it not been for the Paros Theatre.

The premiere here was much simpler than the premiere of a commercial film, and soon people began to enter, and Adrian's seat was arranged at the end. That's what he asked for, because "it's the only way to get a better view of the audience's response." And the other side, believe it or not, was their business, and the whole last platoon was assigned to the crew, and Nicole and Naomi were sitting on his left and right sides.

The show is finally coming up. After turning off the lights in the screening hall, Adrian said so in his heart. I wonder how people would react to this movie? What a curiosity and expectation.

Nicole and Naomi looked at each other and saw that they were all focused on the screen, and Adrian temporarily converged. Soon, the lights hit the screen, and the miracle director's version of Muhland Road was about to begin...
