King of Hollywood

Chapter 111, one after another.

~ Date: ~ October 08 ~

A woman in her thirties, with dark hair, gave her a mysterious temperament, but some of the hard five officials were sharp, especially the pair of eyebrows, thin and straight, as if to tell everyone that she would never lose. Instead of wearing a dress like any other woman, she was dressed neutrally in black overalls, which made her look stunning and handsome.

“Hi, Sophie,” Adrian replied with a smile, "How could he not know the woman in front of him?“ It's great to see you here. ”

And he started introducing, “Scarlett, this is Sophie. Sophia? Corpora, the famous female director; Sophie, Scarlett? Johnson, the future star. ”

“Hello, Scarlett. Nice to meet you. Oh, I remember you from The Horse Speaker, right? Quite a good actor indeed. ”

“Thank you, Sophia. I'm glad to meet you, too. I've seen Young Girl Suicide under your direction, and it's really easy to touch the weakness in your heart. ”

They were so cold, but Sophia's eyes swept from time to time between Scarlett and Adrian, and her eyes were deep. But she quickly got a little uncomfortable, because Scarlett was similarly eyed back and forth between her and Adrian, and it was equally profound. Then Scarlett also found Sophia's eyes, and the pair became embarrassed.

“Speaking of which, Sophie, do you have any instruction as to how you, the director, can come to today's premiere?” Adrian, smiling in his stomach, hurried to ease the atmosphere.

“Nothing, I'm just here with Dad.” Sophia? Coppola's face made a careless Ni, but it only made Adrian laugh harder.

“Well, then, what is the instruction of the distinguished director of Coppola?” Adrian asked seriously, "I just said hello to him earlier. ”

“Nothing, he just told me. Keep me away from you.” Sophia said facelessly, unfortunately Scarlett couldn't help but whip the corner of her mouth after listening to this.

And of course, she realized she was a little overactive, so she coughed up and said, "But I need to talk to you, so I have to put this behind me. ”

“Oh, what is it?” Adrian picked the eyebrows. Abandoned the idea of catching up on the phrase "I'm just here with Dad”.

“Have you... seen my script?” After two seconds of hesitation, Sophia asked. The colour also changed, as if she wanted recognition but didn't want it.

“Of course," Adrian's eyes suddenly lit. That's what he's waiting for. “Nice script, very nice, fully shows the feminine mindset, except for a few details that basically have nothing to modify. ”

“Really?” Sophia's face suddenly smiled, and some of the stiff five officers softened quite a bit, looking quite happy.

“It is believed that it was Mr. Coppola who saw it that would draw such a conclusion. Tokyo must have impressed you," Adrian said in an amazing tone. “When are you going to shoot? ”

“Next January, it's almost December. Christmas is right in front of us. If we go to Japan, we'll be delayed. Unlike you, I don't have that much money to squander.” Sofia shrugged her shoulders.

“If that's the case, we'll probably miss next year's Cannes Film Festival.” Adrian warned.

“Why must you attend the Cannes Film Festival?” Sofia frowned slightly, "Why not go to the Venetian Film Festival? I think they're easier to write. ”

Adrian smiled and didn't break her mind, just saying, "Frankly, Sophie, if you want to compete for next year's Oscar, it's the best thing to do at the Cannes Film Festival. ”

“There is no best practice… Wait, you mean to fight for Oscar?!” Sophia revealed a surprising and unbelievable divinity.

“Of course, don't forget what kind of eyes I have," Adrian said with a taunt, “I've read the script carefully, and I'm sure that as long as you keep it up to the usual standard, coupled with the great performances of the actors, it will be a great story about the loneliness of people from other parts of the country, and it will be the top of the list of female directors. And just in time, the Film Academy is also trying to make a difference, and they definitely don't want to be taken down by Cannabis, so why don't you try to fight it once? You're not unconditional. ”

Sofia was a bit dazed, apparently shocked by his thoughts, but think about it, it's likely As Adrian said, the Academy announced in the first half of the year that a new group of members would be developed, and that they were young film practitioners who, although they actually played less of a decisive role in the selection process, were at least a gesture. To make sure it's flat, the Academy doesn't mind introducing the first best female director.

Capabilities Sofia has, both films have proven her talent in directorship, the media no longer grasps her rigid posture when she is an actor, and the Coppola family has good connections in Hollywood, and Adrian should support her if she says so, it's just...

“It's just...” Sofia said.

“Don't just, Sophie, yes, a little bit of luck is needed, next year is the best time for you, and if you miss it, it'll be years. Because for a few years, luck was on my side.” Adrian said with his hands open.

It was arrogant, but no one would feel wrong if he said it, Adrian had done too many miracles, and it seemed easy to create a few more. Of course, neither Sophia nor Scarlett understood the true meaning of Adrian.

“If it's just a financial issue, I can help solve some of it in my personal capacity, and I have some relationships in Japan that can provide some of the scenarios I need.” Adrian continued.

Sophia made a few pointless gestures, and for some reason she resisted Adrian's favor: "But… there are actors who need to...”

“This is easier," Adrian replied quickly, with a smile in the corner of his mouth, "the exasperated American actor Jean-Bil? Murray is perfect to play, and as for the young wife of the photographer, the star of the future in front of you will definitely capture the character. ”

“Me?” Scarlett opened her eyes in surprise, listening to their conversation all the time.

“Exactly. That's you, Scarlett.” Adrian nodded with a smile. “I've been trying to find you a role to play, and this fits perfectly, although you're a little young, definitely. ”

“You're kidding. Ed!” Sophia, with half a mouth open, finally called out.

“No, no, no, dear Sophie.” Adrian shook his finger, "don't say you didn't think about Scarlett, otherwise why didn't you just mention" The Dare Death Squad "instead of" x Warrior "instead of" The Horse Speaker "? ”

So much talk. Except for Sofia's quest for the best director. That's all he wanted to say, and as Scarlett's best known reputation as a teenager, of course, she should be.

“Don't worry, Sophie, if you're free, we can have a little chat.” Then he laughed again. Not at all concerned about Sophia's frowning, even if she resisted for a moment. But eventually, he would convince Scarlett to look at Adrian and Sophia, and he would raise his eyebrows and reveal his confusion.

All right, put this on the air for now. As time draws near, guests at the premiere enter the screening hall, ready to watch this film from a surprising group of superheroes who were moved to the screen again after The Blade Warrior and Spider-Man.

In terms of the overall scenario, there was not much change compared to the original version. The little naughty one played by Scarlett started because the mutation sucked the life out of her boyfriend. The phoenix woman played by Zeta Jones spoke to the United States Congress to gain voice for the mutant, then listened to Professor x and Magneto, while the little naughty met the Wolverine Wolf and was attacked by the Swordtooth Tiger along the way. So easy to come to the mutant college, Professor x's side misunderstood Wan Magnetic King's goal because he was with Wan Wolf and Xiao Naughty, and eventually Wan Magnetic King grabbed Xiao Naughty and prepared to use her on the Statue of Liberty to turn everyone into mutants - of course, eventually defeated.

However, there are too many differences in the details, the simplest is that some of the original bugs caused by makeup are gone. For example, there is a scar on Wolverine's face in the previous lens, but the next one is gone, or finally after Magneto was caught, when Professor X met him in prison, the buttons on his body were still made of metal, etc. In this regard, Adrian, who has memories of previous generations, has repeatedly emphasized that, with Spider-Man Pearl in front of him, the production cycle of X-Men has been extended considerably, so the bug in this area has been greatly reduced to allow the audience to better appreciate the plot.

Further modifications and adjustments are conversations for the entire series of ambushes after redefining the world, such as the first time Magneto and Professor X met in a movie, when Magneto sighed and said, "I'm sorry about your legs. And Professor X replied," I never thought about it, Marcos, it was an accident.

Here's the setup in "x War Police: Lesson 1," where a government agent on Professor X's side was killed because of his own men while the young Magnetic King and the young Professor X split up, and then fired angrily at Magnetic King. Of course, it didn't work for Magneto, he blocked the bullet with one hand, and the agent knew it didn't work and kept pouring the bullet, and the last bounce hit Professor X's lumbar spine.

Then, when the Swordtooth Tiger first met Wolverine, his attitude was intriguing.

“Look, my brother, after all these years, you are still so... cowardly.” After his initial appearance and taught Wolverine a lesson, the Swordtooth Tiger said in a relatively disdainful tone, looking like he was teasing Wolverine.

Without a doubt, this setup comes from Wolverine, where they're a couple of brothers, and of course, it's not going to be explicit here, let the audience guess for themselves. But in relative terms, the Swordtooth Tiger's play increased considerably, saving Wolverine once in the final war, and when Wolverine asked him why he was saving himself...

“You should understand.” The Swordtooth Tiger replied, "You weren't my opponent before, not now, even with Adman Metal. ”

He left the battlefield, and Wolverine chased him and yelled, "You know how much! About me! ”

“Think about what we said, Logan!” The Swordtooth Tiger left with a big smile.

Everything is in preparation for a separate collection of characters. So the back two of the swordtooth tigers have to show up, and the makeup is not as furry as the original. I specially found a good looking actor. It smells wild in front of Jackman.

Relatively speaking, the demonic woman interacted less with Professor X and King Magnetic in detail, except Professor X asked before King Magnetic left: How's Raven doing? And after turning into an ice man and misleading the little naughty, then diving into the EEG room and pouring the liquid into the instrument and letting Professor x fall into a coma in search of the little naughty with the instrument ■ After all this came out, she asked Wan Magneto: You promised. Eric's gonna be okay, right?

These places are not eye-catching, but after the movie. Still has a lot of repercussions among comic book fans.

“Professor X's paralysis was caused by the Magnetic King? It's not science!”

“Aren't Wolverine and Swordtooth Tiger dead? Looks like a couple of brothers! ”

“There's a triangle between Professor X and Magneto and the Demonic Woman? Jesus Christ, isn't that a big joke? ”

Posts like this are everywhere on the web, and the entertainment media comes in, publishing amazing comics about the characters' settings, and finely counting where they don't fit in. But it doesn't make any sense, whether it's DC comics or amazing comics, there's a lot of parallel universes. And with countless contradictions, the universe is a good man. But in another universe, perhaps a bad man, Magneto died in one universe because Professor X saved himself, so he inherited his legacy and created a mutant school. So, that's not even a loophole.

Indeed, the content soon updated on the amazing official website indicates that the world of x-war police in the movie is a new parallel universe, so there is a new setting. As for what the new settings are, I'm sorry, because they can't be dramatic, it's not possible to explain them in detail at this time, so you can only look for answers in the movie yourself.

Despite strong protests from cartoon fans, it also intangibly attracted a large number of people to the cinema, so the first week, 67 million box offices were placed at the top of the North American list.

As for film reviews, what else can be demanding about a superhero movie adapted from a comic strip? While the struggle between mutants and non-mutants inevitably mirrors something like racism, it's only comics and movies after all, and as long as there's no obvious inclination, there's no problem - that's why the movie perspective always starts with Professor X and his students, and why the Magneto Mingwu in comics is so stupid.

So most of it is focused on special effects, dramatic frames, and character shaping, which Adrian emphasized a lot when he started shooting, just as he insisted on redefining it to fit the real world, combined with the abundance of resources in the hands of AC Media, and the world works very well, so most people praised it.

The relative concentration of criticism on the plot is helpless. As Adrian said at the premiere ceremony, the entire world of X-Men is so huge, coupled with so many characters, that they can only capture a story and then transform it. But the movie is only about two hours at most, and it can't be adapted to reflect all the details, so there are flaws in the plot that can't be done.

And for that reason, when the surprise side tells him that redo is okay, but based on these settings, such as a little ambiguity between Professor X and Magnetic King, for example, Wolverine and Swordtooth Tiger are brothers, and so on, to write a detailed story suitable for making a movie, it's a huge job that takes a long time to complete. So Adrian finally abandoned his intention to define the whole chain of worldviews and logic so that they could freely play on that basis.

In any case, like Spider-Man, X-Men, although not as brilliant as the first week's breaking billions, has also achieved considerable success, and surprising superheroes have been further watched, making the world even happier. But that's just the beginning. After Thanksgiving, another film premiered. Miracle director Adrian? The first of Colwell's "King of the Rings" trilogy!

The premiere of "King of the Rings" was just as grand in the same theater as "X-Men," even though only Blanchett, the Oscar, was among the leading actors, eventually -- Ian? McLaren and Christopher? Although Lee is also famous, he is an old man after all - but Tolkin's fans have countless novels, and many people may seem a little too bored, but in the eyes of more people he is the original ancestor and classic work of fantasy literature, so Adrian was officially producing a film version of the novel, which generated considerable discussion, almost as much support and opposition.

Thereafter, with the limited disclosure of some shots and footprints, the controversy gradually subsided. After all, the film had begun, how exactly to wait for the show to show, if it was really bad, it was not too late to criticize or even criticize.

Who knows that this is more than a year. Although it is known that it takes time for the three parts to be shot together, it also takes time for the post-production period after the shooting, and then the slotting period is arranged, but it is inevitable that people will wait. Interestingly, very few people complain about this online, because once you wait too long for the Ring King movie version in a popular forum, there will be a bunch of Hacker Empire fans out there right away saying it's nothing.

“You've only waited a year, we've waited three years to see the dawn!” They are angry and grudging.

Now that the premiere is finally coming, book fans and film fans naturally have to come to the premiere red carpet to watch, so the liveliness of the scene is not lost at all to the "x Warrior", making Adrian emotional to participate one after another.
