King of Hollywood

Chapter 247 An Interesting Idea

Waves of ragged waves hit the coast one after another, splashing the flowers of the flowers, sunny skies, keeping the Mediterranean towns built in the second and thirties of the century quiet and peaceful 0 Men sipped tea calmly under the umbrellas of the small square, women walked together to tell gossip that they would only know, children kicked ball and play by the long sea embankment.

“It's still so beautiful, isn't it, darling?” Standing on the embankment, Adrian handed himself to the cold shed and said to Monica at a distance from the skyline. []

“Yeah, it's no different than it was a few years ago. It's really a good place to relax.” Monica wrapped her arms around him and said that she was still wearing that long white dress for photography, with a loose black tie around her neck and laced up heels, making for a glamorous ripeness.

The waters of Siracusa are cloudy and far less blue than tourist attractions such as Chana, but the island's small towns are very peaceful and uninteresting. When Monica and Adrian came here together, they didn't expect to come back here in another way, and the warmth of the ocean wrapped around her heart when they thought that Adrian had planned it for several years.

“Mr. Director, I'm ready.” This is when the notebook walks over.

“Okay, I'll be right over.” Adrian nodded and slapped Monica on the butt when she left: “Go on, baby, show your most tempting side. ”

Monica took a look at him and then pulled him to the trailer on the island, while Adrian walked to the set for routine questioning before the shooting began. Today is the first time that male lead Renato meets Marlena, on the edge of a long embankment, and a group of young people about her age watches her walk quietly, screaming behind her.

“You've been doing great, boy. Keep up the good work today, all right?” Adrian patted Marino on the shoulder.

“Yes, sir.” The young man nodded and he had come out of that little blow, especially after coming to Italy, when Adrian and Monica had made out in front of the crowd a lot more often, he had understood.

“Good, but don't be too depressed, young man, there are a lot of girls for you" he laughed after haha, Marinoton blushed and lowered his head.

No longer teasing this honest child, Adrian clapped his hands and announced loudly that the shooting would begin. These cameras were easy to pass, the town's people were passionate about the crew, Adrian had already been prepared, and he communicated well with the local government, especially after hearing that the famous Hollywood miracle director had mastered the mirror, and partially reduced costs for the crew.

Despite the relative closure of the island's small towns, he learned a lot about the outside world after popularizing the Internet, and the local government was well aware that as long as Adrian had filmed here, and as long as the film provoked a sensation, they could earn a lot of money from travelling.

It also relieved Adrian that he had spent so much time looking for people and communicating, knowing that most of the film was exterior shooting, so even if he had finished the internal shooting in Los Angeles, he would still be in this place for a long time, so it was important to get along well with the local people, fortunately, as I said, most of them were very good.

“These are simple people, definitely not the guys in your script, and if Marina lived here, she would certainly be respected.” After the shooting of a scene in the square, a middle-aged man with glasses touched his bald forehead and watched three or two sitting together as a temporary actor, a local resident, said with emotion.

“I know, of course, that this is a vibrant place, and there is no better place to shoot than this.” Adrian shrugged.

“Yes, and I know, I have to say, Ed, more visionary than most Italians can find a place like this.” The other side shouted again, "no wonder they always said you couldn't see. ”

“Just come to Sicily and ask for more runs, anyone can find it, Giuseppe.” Adrian laughed.

“It's also important to see what's right for the scene.” Giuseppe Leonardo's eyes were always on the square, and he sighed: “Why didn't you give me the script earlier? ”

“Oh, you're interested in it? ”

“More than that, you don't know how much I've seen it... like, if I hadn't heard that you were already preparing, I would have been haunting you and let me direct this movie 0”

Tonadore took it very seriously, rubbing it all over his chin, apparently his psychological language. Adrian silenced for a few seconds, then got up and patted him on the shoulder: "Remember what I said, Giuseppe? Half of this movie was inspired by your" Paradise Cinema, "which I really liked, so it was also about growth, and the story was in Italy. ”

“Cheshire.” Tonadore finally took back his eyes. "Glad you enjoyed the movie, and glad it inspired you.

Speaking of which, he turned his head and revealed a bit of an interesting look: “What about the other half? ”

Adrian shrugged her shoulders unanswered, and Tonadoretón smiled and looked at Monica, who was in the distance with her assistant on the line: "What a beautiful woman.” Sue

“Yes, very beautiful.” Adrian also looked at Monica and said very calmly.

Soon after leaving the "Beautiful Legends of Sicily" crew, Tonadore spent only three days back and forth, promising Adrian to attend the premiere of the film and inviting him to the premiere of the film he had shown in the old months. It was a complete surprise that he would come to Siracusa, and when Adrian contacted him through someone else and asked him to help find a suitable Italian actor, the main purpose was to see if he had begun to conceive of a new script.

Turns out, Adrian was completely relieved, but after all, the film was "once" by Tonadore. After seeing the script, he loved to let go. As he said, if Adrian hadn't already started preparing, he might have really managed to get the directorship, so after hearing about Liu Group's arrival in Syracuse, he came to see what was also sensible 0

To be honest, Adrian feels good about Tonadore, and the vast majority of European directors, without the additive elements of their work or something weird that nobody can understand, seem to be far from art. The Italian directors are particularly serious, and what's even more striking is that they don't want to tell a good story, they want to do it deliberately, as if they have an obsessive-compulsive disorder, like the old guy from Bertolucci.

Though Tonadore can do it, at least two of the most famous works, Paradise Cinema and Maritime Pianist, have a good story. Adrian wouldn't have wanted to steal it if it wasn't for Monica at this stage.

As to whether to be ashamed of the eyes appreciated by the original author, a little bit, but soon to be thrown behind his head and continue to do his thing, just as arms dealers read "God bless” and then continue to trade, knowing that the weapons they trafficked caused a lot of casualties.

Things have been going well because the locals have gone black, and of course it has nothing to do with Adrian being humiliated by some of the most important and troublesome shots - like Marina being bombed by the Allies and running around… staying behind. And then, at this point, another guest came to crew zero.

“Hello, Monica, it's Sophie, Sophie Marzo.” Wearing a thin trench coat, the two little boots were exposed, hair tumbling down, and Sophie reached out to Monica with a smile.

“Hello, Sophie, it's good to see you...” Monica was very enthusiastic, "I really liked your movie, whether it's First Kiss or Fang Fang, I would even try to be an actor and have Fang Fang factors. ”

Seeing Monica speak to her so indissolubly, Sophie was not comfortable with continuing the rejection that she was so far away, that she quickly chatted with Monica. Because they're all Europeans, one from France, one from Italy, and there's so much in common, and with Monica's deliberate pleasure, the two women are getting familiar until Adrian walks in.

“Monica, get ready to start.” He interrupted their heads and let both women beam.

“Okay, I'll be right there.” Monica took the lead, smiled at Sophie, and then hurried to the set.

“You guys seem to have a good conversation.” After Monica left, Adrian laughed and measured Sophie.

“What do you want to see? Fighting or fighting?” Sophie groaned softly, hugged her arm, and smiled like two people before.

“You know, I'm glad you came to Siracusa, Sophie, especially..., Adrian said halfway and stopped and then blinked narrowly.

I didn't know I was coming. Su Pan really wanted to say this, but after seeing each other smile, he somehow shrunk back to zero.

“Well, let's not talk about it for now. There are a few more shots to finish today, and when we're done, we'll find a place to talk.” Adrian smiled at the eye crew and said, then handed her the script of the movie: “This is the story of the movie, let's analyze it from your perspective. ”

He was about to leave, but after walking two steps, he came back and stuck it in Sophie's ear with an unhappy look: “Although heels turned into boots, as long as there was nothing in them, I would always love your outfit. ”

“Ed!” Sophie couldn't help staring at Adrian, who smiled and flew back to the crew.

Goddamn it! Sophie bit her teeth and touched her face. She had a fever, which must have turned red. Of course she knew what Adrian was saying. When she came to Paris that day, she was wearing this trench coat right now, and there was nothing in it. As long as she thought which corner of the box was right, the two of them would go and start Hu Tian Hudi.

It was just exciting, and then every time I thought about it, there was a bit of shame and fear, even though she wanted to gamble like this herself. Adrian laughed at her with this. She was wearing the same trench coat today, and naturally she couldn't escape. As before, Sophie could only express her dissatisfaction by staring at him, but her dissatisfaction with Monica and Adrian dissipated completely.

“Act 9, entrance 1, go!” Monica walked into the lens after the camera turned for a few seconds as the recording board snapped.

The scene here was simple, the nightmare of her husband's death was confirmed, and the vast majority of the people in town were rejecting her, and Marlena, forced to walk the path of betraying * *, and when she was dressed sexily, she came to the town square with her head high, sat on a chair and just pulled out a cigarette, and instantly

Several lighters were handed over.

“c vomit!” Adrian screamed out loud and stepped up to Monica. "That's not enough, Monica. Remember what I said? She hides her vulnerability with pride, and you have to grasp that limit. ”

Throughout the story, before this turnaround, Marina drooled her head down every time she came to town, looking cautious and avoiding the aggressive eyes of men and women. And this time, when she didn't have to worry about it anymore, she raised her head for the first time and came to the square with a little smoky smell. Adrian needs Monica here to reveal the sadness hidden in Marilyn's heart, so be proud and show that this arrogance is pretending to be fragile, and it's not easy for Monica to do that.

“Again.” At Monica said yes, back in position, Adrian clapped his hands and said out loud 0

This came a few dozen more times, four halfway breaks, and no one said much about it, despite the fact that most people were a little tired. Sophie was slightly surprised by the fact that during this time she had read the script quickly and had basically understood the approximation of the story and the importance of the play. To be honest, she loved the role, and if it was any other time, she would have fought for it, but now it seems that Adrian was obviously making the film for Monica, which would have made Sophie jealous.

At the same time, Monica's performance in this shoot, even if she did it herself, could not have been better, but Adrian was still not satisfied with the repeated showings. It's been a long time since I asked an assistant for a break to find out that Adrian's jealousy grew bigger every time there was an important shot to make Monica perform best.

Finally, before the best shooting time passed, Adrian finally passed this shot, causing the crew to make a low cheer, and then again encouraging the rest of the shooting to be done, finally without delaying today's progress.

The night rose, the beach lit a bonfire, the crew threw a party here, and many residents of the town joined in, especially those who had served as temporary actors, all singing and dancing around the fire, very happy. If you don't like campfires, the crew has prepared another spot nearby, decorated with various colored lights, and plenty of food and drinks, enough to be wasted.

Adrian never saves money on living goods, even in films like The Beautiful Legend of Sicily or Muhland Road, which he likes to enjoy. Anyway, because of his control, a lot of the shooting is wasted, the cost is slightly lower than the original, and it doesn't matter if you use it for life.

“When you have something beautiful, eye-catching, yet unprotected, people around you are constantly trying to take it away from you and take it for themselves. Marlena's tragedy was here, and she was beautiful, and with the beauty of the inclined country, men wanted to occupy her, and women were jealous of her, and she couldn't protect herself, so men kept trying to assault her, and women deepened their hatred of her step by step, and when that hatred reached its threshold, and after being broken through by external forces, women began to vent to satisfy themselves by destroying what was good or what they thought was ugly.” By the sea, not far from the two places, Adrian tells the story of the script by two women sitting at the small round table and next to her.

Nobody bothered him, even though one was in his heart or surprised or envied or praised, to let Sophie, Marcel and Monica, Belucci sit next to each other, a playboy indeed.

“I'm sure the play in the square will be shocking, but why not design it as a tragic ending?” Sophie turned to the cup in her hand to ask, and at the same time glanced at Monica, "Tragedy can make a stronger emotional shock, and it can make a more impressive impression. The famous dramas and operas that come through are all tragic. ”

“Ed naturally has his thoughts, and he's always right.” Monica smiling deliberately does not amount to infinite concessions.

Adrian couldn't help but smile in his eyes: “I don't like to tear things apart for the audience. That's stupid. There are enough tragedies in the world. I prefer to give them hope, even if it's just a tiny little bit, than telling the audience that" they're going to end up useless... ””

Silently, Sophie got a little rushed. Drinks in the cup and look at Adrian: "Speaking of your analysis, are you too, Ed? ”

Adrian picked his eyebrows a little confused, but immediately reacted, shook his head with a smile, and then looked at Sophie without blinking. Monica also quickly understood, then lowered her head and laughed. Sophie was lost for a few seconds, but quickly reacted, and her red-handed face went awkwardly low 0
