King of Hollywood

Chapter 32: It's Hard to Tell

On the scene of the soon-to-be-booted Transparent, he told Naomi that the screening time of "Behind the Lies" had been “deep” again, and Adrian went to the scene of "Innocence" and was the last film to ask. The film is quite similar to Sofia's last Teenage Girl Suicide on the subject, so although it was a little longer in the early stages, it was shot fairly quickly.

“The scene is also simple, just find a tree to build, Liv's acting is ordinary, but it fits the character, so it can be done by the end of the month at the latest.” Sofia was lying lazy in bed talking and only had a blanket that looked a little thin on her body.

“Well, it's basically half as efficient as I am.” Adrian lay beside her all over her body, holding her head up with her arms.

“Nobody can compare to a pervert, can't they?” Sofia laughed a little sly, and she sighed again: "Unfortunately, I can't make it to this year's Cannes Film Festival, and I don't want to go to Venice anymore. ”

“Then go to the Berlin Film Festival, which is also a good option if you don't think they have a good vibe.” Adrian said immediately, then one hand grabbed the blanket and touched it.

“Ed.” Sofia gave him a white eye, but he didn't hide from his hand. He just felt his rub and sighed. “Oh, I'm so stupid. I clearly told myself that having a one-night stand with you would be enough. I didn't think...”

“It means you don't have that in mind, Sophie, it means that you ——” Adrian, hey, smile, “deep down is actually full of desire. ”

“No,” Sophia rebutted, "it's just that your methods are too smart, or even more mysterious, and you have an unspeakable appeal that can seduce a woman in just a few words. I still remember when I left the set, Liv's grudging eyes, and as long as we behaved intimately, her mouth would pound, how did you fool such a simple girl? ”

“It's too serious to fool you, Sophie. Did I fool you into bed?” Adrian exclaimed.

Sophia wanted to say a few more words, but then she sighed, “Well, no, you... are the most talented director I've ever met, Ed. ”

Despite the pause, she spoke smoothly, which struck Adrian with surprise: "What a surprise, isn't the most talented director in your mind the great Francis? Mr. Coppola? Isn't that great Sophia? Ms. Coppola? Adrian? Mr. Cowell can only rank third at most. ”

“I'm serious, Ed.” Sophia didn't laugh, her eyes were always on him, "Yes, I don't deny that my father was the greatest in my heart, but he didn't have that many notable achievements at your age. ”

“Wow, you said I could fool a woman, didn't you know how to fool a man?” Adrian Haha laughed, rolled over and pressed her under her and kissed one with her head down, "I like your words, Sophie. ”

“That's it, no more.” Sophia first kissed back, then warned,

“All right, all right.” Adrian Haha laughed and continued to kiss, “So let's talk about the first topic, and I suggest you go to the Berlin Film Festival or the Sundance Film Festival, so that you can slowly make a late film and come up with a new one, and then walk around the world looking for inspiration, London, Paris, Rome or Tokyo, Taipei, Manila, and take a year to write it down, and slowly carve out the script, and then shoot it in a short time like this, and finally take part in the Cannes Film Festival in '02 —— I have a hunch that this is going to be a very special film. ”

“Sounds good,” Sophia held him, "but I wrote the script myself, and I won't show it to you until it's done. ”

“Should I have the right to make comments after seeing it? ”

“Well... no, I don't want to be influenced by you. ”

“Hey, if it's a good idea, how can you not listen? Is it a terrible thing to be influenced by me? ”

“No, not if I say no. ”

“Really? ”

“I really can't. ”

“Fine, then I'll make it work now! ”

“What are you doing?! Ed, stop! Ed!”

Now that Scarlett has officially been eaten and wiped dry by him, it is time to introduce the most classic representative of her teenage years. It doesn't really matter a year in advance. Although the film is more of a storyteller, the actor's acting cannot be ignored. By the way, you can sell the Corpora family a good one, and get Sofia into bed a few more times, like now, even if it's just a friendship match, it can't just be once. Besides, Sofia is not very pretty, but she has always had a good temperament, and occasional flavor changes are okay.

But it's too early to bury the seeds in Sofia's heart. In addition to the roaming studios, the late production studios are also where he is going these past few days. In the course of this year, two films were completed. Never Compromise has just closed the mirror. If you want to start the late period, you have to wait a while. This is not urgent, as long as it can be shown at the end of the year. The story of Bones in Winter is relatively simple. The key is photography, acting and editing. The first two have been well done, while the rest of the editing needs to be done by Adrian himself.

In fact, this is not a hard job. After completing the two films, there will be no other shooting tasks this year. There is no need to be as busy as last year. You can enjoy the slow carving. As with Never Compromise, as long as it can be shown at the end of the year, and with the media in his hands now, there is no need to rely on participating in the film festival to make the film famous.

So in fact, the most important thing to pay attention to is that the late movie is another one, The Ring King's first song, The Ring Guardian.

The result of completing all three shots with one breath is the chaotic and cumbersome footage to deal with, even though Adrian has been careful to reduce those unnecessary shots. Not to mention the variety of cgs that have to be processed, statically okay, dynamically if Adrian can't get through it, it takes time and effort to re-render.

If Adrian is in complete control, as long as he keeps flying around the world from time to time, then don't think about how efficient he is. But luckily, in this movie, he had a good assistant, didn't he, Peter? Jackson, a fat guy from New Zealand who likes to wear a beard with a beard, is the original director of the Ring King series.

Sounds like Adrian took the best of each other's work, and has already made him an associate director at the time of the shooting, and now assists himself in the later stages, not squeezing his stuff out, some too shameful. But in fact, that's not what he meant, and Jackson recommended himself, as he did when he shot in New Zealand, and I have to say, he really liked Tolkin's novel.

Adrian has no reason to refuse, does he? As for some aspects, can you return them? Give him the movie versions of Pokémon Diamond and Hobbit Adventures at best.

But even with Peter? Jackson's role as an assistant has only partly improved efficiency. Adriana's special technique is not something anyone else can learn. Although the film scrap rate can be thrown into the waste basket with digital cameras, no one can maintain such a high lens utilization except him, even Peter, who is so familiar with Ring King? Neither can Jackson.

“You're a genius, Ed. I can't think through geniuses.” Jackson answered the question so and sincerely.

Adrian's reaction was to take a picture of his shoulder and leave without worry. Anyway, the film had to wait until the end of next year to be shown. Even if he stayed that way, if he couldn't finish a Ring King for more than a year, it would be better to remove the title of miracle director.

Skipping a two-day outing with Julia, it's naturally the premiere of Agent Caleb, but on a small scale, it's different from the original idea. Adrian missed the point that Kate's call to the box office was relatively low. Although she starred in a high-volume movie like Tornado a few years ago, and the recent Fate of the Fate and 28 Days received some positive reviews, she lost track of herself for more than a year because she was pregnant with Lily.

Everyone knows what it means to disappear for more than a year in a place where this update is particularly fast, and most popularity needs to be rebuilt despite Adrian's support for Kate and not having to come back completely.

And Agent Caleb, the film has almost no big cards from the actor to the director, and the only thing that counts is Michael, who plays the beauty pageant designer? If Kate hadn't disappeared for more than a year, with the Tornado, The Fate of the Fate movie box office - although the main character of Tornado is not an actor - and the accumulated popularity, the call to the box office might not be as good as the original, but it would be no problem to hold a lively premiere.

It is not impossible to do this now, but it is inevitably somewhat too luxurious, and it is expected that few people will take this irony, and if the box office is average, there will be more of them. So, a reduction in scale would be nice, but there would be -- stars, fans waiting, journalists grabbing the news.

The premiere was arranged at the Dorothy Theatre, which was quite lively that evening, and for some reason Adrian did not show up on the red carpet, but entered the theatre through the side door.

“I don't want Lily to be exposed to the press so early.” That's what he said to Kate.

While controlling a lot of media, Lily will sooner or later be the target of journalists, unless Kate is an actor or he holds the American media in his hands. Of course, from the point of view of a father, the later the day arrives, the better. As Lily's mother, Kate naturally had no problem with it, and the slightest discomfort that had previously arisen in her heart because he had not walked through the red carpet dissipated.

Talked to the guests. When the time was almost up, Adrian and Kate entered the projection hall together. At this time, there was no need to hide his intimacy with her. It was strange that the people in the circle didn't know what he was like. As for reporters who might sneak in, let's not say that they might bring in cameras, and even if they did, the photos here would not be as convincing as the ones on the red carpet.

Though there have been a number of changes to Agent Carrie, it's only about the character of the female lead, and the whole story hasn't changed much in the subject matter. Initially, Gracie was described as a freak by her classmates as a child - even by the two boys she saved, and Emily, of course, did not hesitate to punch the kid she saved. Then the time jumped to more than a decade later to capture the criminals who traded illegally in the bar, and Emily, the actress's kindness, helped, almost ruined the whole operation, and luckily another member of the group responded quickly enough to further show off her personality.

Next, private life, relationships with colleagues, a big, unrestrained little section, some masculine female images so fully into the audience's view.

“I thought of you again when I first met you.” Adrian couldn't help but breathe in Kate's ear.

“Yeah, that pot of coffee impressed me.” Kate when he blocks his words back.

“Oh, you're so cute right now, I'm starting to regret letting you star in this movie.” Adri mounted the mock complaining and then moved her gaze back onto the big screen before she asked.

Now that the character of the female lead has been revealed, then naturally the next step is to create a contradiction, so there is a criminal who intends to plant a bomb in Miss America's contest, the FBI cannot monitor it and cannot convince the organizers to stop the contest, eventually having to arrange for Gracie to be undercover, of course, she has to learn how to run for Miss America in a short time, not necessarily very competitive, but at least not to be seen as a fake.

So, Michael, the beauty pageant designer? Kane came out flashing, and by the way, Kate's busy Apple Winery Rule is also working with Kane, just not as much as Agent Kallie's play. Remember the last time Kate seemed to have discussed the movie with Charlize, it was a shame we didn't see such an interesting scene.

Back in the movies, beauty designer Victor had created several years of Miss America, unusually obsessed with perfection, and, of course, he was a homosexual —— in the movies, men who designed clothes for women and so on seemed to have become gay faces, although most of their lives were indeed homosexual.

Such a man with such a woman, God would not have believed if there had been no conflict, so the laughter of the previous period had basically come from them. It has to be said that the Oscar-winning - albeit male - interpretation of homosexuality by Old Kane, especially those minor moves and his disgust at Gracie for never dressing and paying attention to words and deeds, aroused the audience's laughter.

“What do you think of Michael?” Adrian glanced at Kane, not far ahead, and asked Kate softly.

Keatmer thought and remembered silently for minutes and finally sighed: “He acted much better than I did. ”

Adrian picked an eyebrow and grabbed her hand and patted it gently: "Don't worry, it's all polished. ”

The plot continues to go down without repeating itself, much like many similar comedies, Gracie has to stab some loose ends from time to time when participating in the pageant, and then get mixed up in all sorts of fantastic ways. For example, because one audience was carrying a gun, Gracie was pushed down on the ground separately when there was a change, and the other party just wanted to smoke. And Gracie's explanation for this is that she wants to use it to support her smoking cessation activities.

The subsequent turnaround was equally unexpected, with a sudden message from the FBI that the bomb maniac had been caught, and the alert was automatically lifted on the side of the pageant. But Gracie, who had gathered more information, did not think so. She felt that the same person was not the one who was intimidating the guy who was going to terrorize the beauty pageant and the bomb maniac. Unfortunately, no one supported her opinion, and she had to stay alone on the pretext that she was still in the perfect pageant.

But the lonely hero was surrounded by characters, so someone believed her, Victor, the designer who had always dressed her up against her needle. As an aesthetic designer, although he had no influence on the FBI, he knew what was going on with Miss America, and so another male agent who had to go back because he had some faith in Gracie got some information from him, and then combined with the information Gracie had given him, he finally found the real culprit.

In the end, naturally, a successful ending revealed the true face of the culprit - the old woman who hosted the event, because after the event, the future Miss America would no longer be responsible for her, resentment and a son who often did bad things, so she planned to retaliate.

At the same time, Gracie will also be elected Miss America, a good friend she met at the event, who saved her from the bomb and won countless accolades. Later, although Gracie returned to the FBI, she was awarded one of the most popular trophies and presented to her at breakfast by the elected Miss America.

Although the plot is relatively vulgar, with a little inspiration and friendship, the flavour of the popcorn movie becomes even more delicious, as can be seen from the low laughter that sounds from time to time in the projection hall. However, unfortunately, Kate is still too pretty to hide her temperament, even though the makeup artist had tried to make her mediocre at the beginning, especially now that she is in the golden age of a woman, so that after makeup in the play it is difficult to impress people, so the audience's feeling of the ugly duck turning into a swan will not be very strong, coupled with the lack of appeal in the box office, it is hard to say what the outcome will be.
