King of Hollywood

Chapter 287: The premiere of New York

Despite everything going well, the Holy Helmets Valley war still takes at least a half to a month, as the second most important plot, unlike the battle between the first tail guard squad and the Beast Man, a real war in which less than a thousand troops of Lohan defend themselves against the attack of nearly 10,000 Beasts, the brutality of which is to be seen. For this reason, there are hundreds of temporary actors in every shoot, who wear armor and carry weapons, and not a single shot can be done, naturally less efficiently, not to mention Adrian's first shooting of a war scene.

“I knew I'd make" Save the Private Ryan "myself.” Adrian couldn't help complaining about the messy exterior.

Though he had already tried to dispatch the big scene long before the production of "Shawshenk's Redemption," and had done a good job of not letting the classic scene in the prison square disappear, the battlefield scene was another thing. Fortunately, these were expected and he had enough time to adjust slowly, so… there was no pressure to leave again at the end of the month. []

Who made him a miracle director? There was always a reward that could not be escaped, and this time he had no intention of escaping. Adrian had no pressure, but several other deputy directors could not help but sigh. As long as he left, the burden of shooting was all on them. It was depressing that Adrian, who had not done well, had to come back. Jackson was excited, however, that he was now in charge of one of the groups, and that Adrian's power would increase considerably if he left, which would allow him to make the film better according to his own mind.

Adrian also knew this, but didn't pay much attention to it. Anyway, the script was very appetizing to Jackson. It was no big deal to give him more power to play. Sharing was not a good idea. It wasn't up to him.

Instead of the last trip out of New Zealand, we went to London and then to New York, where we did everything we had to do before we went back to Los Angeles. In fact, he could have gone straight back to Los Angeles and gone to New York, but since the main thing was in New York and the selection of characters was happening in London, it really shouldn't have happened without asking.

As efficient as Harry Potter's choosing of characters and King of the Rings' shooting efficiency are, they have narrowed down to only a few hundred children during this time, and none of the main characters have been considered very formally, except for Emma's Hermione. The only ones identified were the Weasley twins, not the Phelps brothers from Birmingham, as Adrian predicted, but the O'Dorsey brothers from Liverpool.

The twins are irrevocably red-haired, and lively and naughty, because of the daring tricks they played with Columbus during the interview. I can confirm that if Adrian doesn't get involved, I'm afraid none of the original actors will show up except Emma, and the coincidence and uncertainty of this kind of thing is too great.

As for Emma, after confirming Hermione's upcoming appearance, her original interest generally became invested.

“How did you solve that problem, Professor?” She used to hold the novel and read the words to herself in the mirror, sometimes making up some sections of the bridge herself and not having fun.

Although Adrian stayed in London for only two days, she performed in front of him deliberately, and wearing a Graffindor uniform - not the original one - was tailored to fit perfectly by Adrian's deliberate advice to the crew, coupled with a prop wand that kept her waving, added hermione character and character to Emma.

“You know, Ed, after I told Ruth on the phone about Hermione, she screamed over there.” Little Emma is also proud to tell the story between her and Little Emma.

Adrian was glad she was able to get into it, but she always felt that the little girl was planning something, especially when she looked at his ancient elf smile. And of course, it shouldn't be a bad thing, so he doesn't really care, and there's more important things to do right now: get to New York, adjust the jet lag, and go to the movie premiere.

At the end of May and beginning of June of '99, a superproduction was about to be released across the United States, not to say how invested it was, how strong the cast was, but its name in the United States was unknown to all and had a huge fan base, which affected at least one generation of time, was one of the best memories of many Americans and one of the representatives of American culture.

Many movie companies have delayed the movies in their hands because of it, and the AC media is no exception, knowing that Mummy and the Sky Trap are excellent works. There are even proposals to move to the Christmas archive, but there are movies like Notting Hill, Spider-Man, etc., and you can do it yourself and yourself once or twice.

Anyway, at the beginning of the preparation of the film, countless fans had already looked forward to it. By now, outside the pre-sale movie tickets, the dragons had been filmed, especially in New York, where the premiere was located, and the long crowd could almost go from this side of Manhattan! Is George the only one who can have this kind of festivity, this kind of enthusiasm? Directed by Lucas himself, his sequel to the space opera is "The Pre-Star War Herald: The Ghost Threat"!

Coobrick's 2001 Space Roaming and Lucas' Star Wars series, though almost 10 years apart, are all representatives of American science fiction films and have all started a different trend. Cameron's idea of making films only emerged after watching 2001 Space Roaming.

But after all, Space Roaming 2001 was too astringent, even though the special effects were top notch at the time, so as soon as the Space Opera Star Wars series appeared, it won the favor of the vast majority of people and became a cultural phenomenon in the United States. Despite the fact that Lucas has only so many films, and despite the fact that the Film Academy doesn't look forward to seeing him, he is still one of the greatest directors in the world, not counting as the Industrial Light Demon.

This can be seen from the night, clustered outside the Imperial Theatre in Times Square, cheering fans, wearing Das? Vidal's helmet, either with a light sword for toys or in the robe of a Jedi samurai, spilled their enthusiasm under the huge poster of The Ghost Threat, and the scene was far more lively than the Dare Death Squad.

“I know that a lot of film critics criticize me for not moving forward, and the idea of movies is still in the '70s and' 80s, but the effects are richer, so what? I don't need to care.” Standing on a red carpet in front of the theatre, Lucas said, in the face of a journalist's interrogation, that he didn't care.

As a commercial film, the Ghost Threat naturally had to arrange media meetups, and most film critics thought the images and effects were good, but the storytelling remained at the level of the seventies and eighties.

“Yes, George? Lucas doesn't have to worry about that.” A voice came from behind, and Lucas turned around and laughed and hugged.

“I thought you'd be here in a little while.” Lucas Haha smiled and said to Adrian.

“Well, I'm going to share the enthusiasm of the fans. After all, I've done too much, though small.” Adrian said half true and half false.

The reporter next door seized the opportunity to ask, “I hear you were involved in the screenwriting of The Ghost Threat, Mr. Adrian. What do you think of the critics' comments? ”

“I wasn't too involved, I just made a few comments.” Adrian said the right thing first, then kissed Lucas on the ass: “Forget those, gentlemen, all you have to do tonight is remember one name: Star Wars! God, I've waited almost 15 years, so let me enjoy it. ”

Everyone around them laughed, and Lucas next to them laughed, believing that most of the people who loved the series thought so, but that didn't stop journalists from asking questions.

“Do you think you can make more of the Ring King trilogy than the Star Wars trilogy?” A guy suddenly asks.

Unfortunately, Adrian doesn't eat this: “Two completely different subjects, incomparable, and you probably know a lot about Ring King, so let's focus on something else today. ”

Over time, the media under the AC media began to have selective coverage of the production of Ring King, and sources needless to say, knew that there was nothing they could do about it, even though other media hated itching, until now they still did not know where Adrian was filming this fantasy.

But New Zealand's film scene will be revealed shortly, and journalists can't think for a moment that doesn't mean they'll never know, so it's the right thing to do to reveal it in their own way at the right time before they find it, and maybe a lot of flies around later, but at least he can get ready.

I talked to the reporters a few more words, pushing those questions against King of the Rings without a trace, and when a huge cheer broke out on the red carpet - Master Yoda came to the premiere, despite being a robotic figure and the action was very rigid, I poured a load of oil on the passion of the fans. Then Adrian and Lucas went into the theater together.

Like all premieres, most guests are laughing in the lobby at this time, waiting for the time to line up to enter. Adrian greets Lucas with some important actors, like Kuigon? Kim Liam? Nelson and Ivan Obi-Wan? McGregor-Lucas picked them out.

“By the way, how come the esteemed Queen Amidala wasn't there?” After a few conversations with them, Adrian suddenly asked so jokingly.

“Her Majesty wanted to take the exam, and her goal was ivy, so she couldn't distract herself, so she didn't come.” Lucas replied humorously with his words.

In fact, Adrian knew long ago that Natalie would not be coming to the premiere of The Ghost Threat. After all, he had been in touch with Natalie, and this could not be known more than after Lucas. Now the first thing I want to say is that he can't be indifferent to one of the stars not being present, and then... he wants to ask for proof.

That's right, ask for confirmation, Natalie said on the phone that because graduation was imminent and her goal was Harvard, she had to focus on SAT and AP exams and naturally couldn't make it to the premiere. With her unique personality to do whatever it takes, it's a good decision. Although she's going to be one of the most popular actresses in America after The Ghost Threat, and it's very simple to get into Harvard, she certainly doesn't want anyone to think that she can get into Harvard based on this film, not her own accomplishments, just...

Adrian has always had the wrong feeling, which in fact has been around for a long time and can only be ignored before, but is starting to get a little obvious now. Especially during this time, although he was busy producing Ring King, he also took the time to come to New York, but every time Natalie had something to get rid of, she left in a hurry.

“What a disgusting feeling...” Adrian knocked on the head, "Maybe we should have a chance to talk to Natalie? ”

In retrospect, this should have started after the Oscar Awards ceremony, and she's probably starting to get a little dissatisfied, so it's time to be honest. But that certainly isn't now, Adrian has a lot to do, and Natalie is still running for school, and after the summer vacation, Harvard passed her application, lived in college for two months, and the Ring King shoot can be finished, and then she can sit down and talk about it later.

Adrian then shifted his attention to the others, and Queen Amidala was not here, but her double was there. Keira, who was dressed up with her parents to attend, was well received, basically, except in the face of Adrian.

“Not bad, this is my first... premiere.” Kayla kept twisting her head and dared not look at him. Her face was faint red and her spinning eyes were filled with shyness and annoyance.

That's what she looked like on the plane - when Adrian went to London and invited the Knightley family to come along - apparently hasn't adjusted since that day, not only to let a stranger touch it, but almost * *. Every time I think about the situation at the time, there is a strange feeling in Kayla's heart, even if Adrian is not a stranger, but she is not particularly familiar with each other, how could she have been so stupid?!

So Adrian didn't overstimulate her, and her parents were nearby, saying a few words and leaving, of course, the disappointment in Kayla's eyes was still in his eyes.

And then there was the time of the movie, and there was nothing to say about that. Compared to that edition in memory, although there was a change in camera switching in a lot of places, it was generally consistent. As for Queen Amidala's garments, which were inspired by Japanese geisha, Adrian chose to ignore them directly.

However, there were some differences behind it, and Anakin's mother was killed when he joined forces with Obi-Wan when the slave owners wanted to repent and gathered many people to fight back with strength. The young Skywalker cried with his mother's body in his arms, while Amidala, dressed as a maid, softly comforted herself.

At this time, the Sith apprentice also chased after him. After a mixed war, Anakin, although taken to Amidala's ship, failed to retrieve his mother's body and eventually cried in Amidala's arms until he fainted.

Lucas accepted his suggestion in its entirety and deliberately laid a brush on Anakin and Amidala's love, believing that when the second part came out, their feelings would not be so abrupt. In addition, the birth of Anakin's brother was altered so that Luke would not come out empty when he was adopted.

The later plot returned to the original version, with the protagonists returning to Nabu to raid the trade union, which was finally expelled after Amidala came forward to unite the natives, Kui Gang still died in battle and Obi-Wan took Anakin as his apprentice. Honestly, if Natalie didn't wear that strange costume, she would still be quite clean. She could still see the shadow of Matilda, but unfortunately she wasn't around at the moment.

Of course, it would be even more wonderful to watch her hands up and down on her tiny body... well, that's the legacy of playing more roles in New Zealand.

While there is no doubt about the popularity of Star Wars, and many Star Wars fans were dedicated for the first time, perhaps influenced by the media's statements that "the target audience for this film should be the 10-year-old and long-time Star Wars fans” and “Lucas pushes Star Wars movies to the edge, it seems that future Star Wars movies should be computer games”, the Ghost Threats, which was shown in 2,900 exhibitions, had some subsequent flavors the following day, which added just over 10 million, so the weekend ended up with only 60 million box offices on three days.

But everyone knows that this is just the beginning, and that the fans of Star Wars are not the only fans, and not all media outlets have no good words. North America's breaking billion is only a matter of time, and it is very possible to take one billion worldwide.

But it had nothing to do with Adrian. After attending the premiere of Star Wars, having the female secretary from Los Angeles resign from a series of invitations, she took her low-key to a luxury private yacht on the Hudson River for a low-key wedding by a media tycoon, yes, Murdoch and Dunvendy.

Some things change because of him, but some things don't, especially those with brains and wrists who are always proactive, so Dunwendy still meets Murdoch.

Murdoch's divorce from his second wife has similarly boiled down over the past year, with insiders knowing they were merely covering their ear bandits, even though the Sun pretended to be cynical and claimed that even their own boss was covering the divorce.
