King of Hollywood

Chapter 118: Knock it off?

In the history of Hollywood, the 1930s and 1940s were the golden age of song and dance films, and with the continuous improvement of the way they were shot, and the fact that they had peaked in luxury scenery and production at that time, the song and dance exhibited from the movies and on Broadway were completely different things. Such song and dance films were more focused on the combination of content and form, and the artistic achievement was very high, so even though they were still black and white sè, they were still popular throughout the United States. ~ ~

By the 1950s and 1960s, with the expansion of colored sè films, song and dance films began to become epic, reaching the peak of what a type of film could have in Hollywood, and there emerged many actors famous for this type of film, even getting Oscar's best nv protagonists, like Julie? Andrews.

“It was a wonderful time to sing and dance all the time on camera, a feeling of freedom that you can't feel right now," Andrews said with emotion, adding, “Of course, I'm not saying it's not a good time, but people will inevitably feel the glory of the past, especially when my voice has been operated on, and can no longer sing. ”

Suddenly, the surrounding crowd shouted at her, and this was the premiere of Princess Diary, a movie about modern fairy tales that followed the Red Mill. The time is a little tight, but the New Year's season is coming to an end. If we don't hurry, then for the sake of the box office, we can only postpone it until the summer vacation.

“Don't say that, Julie, even though you can't sing anymore, I'm sure you'll remember Mary Bopins from Pleasant Worlds, and Maria from The Voice of Music all the time? Von Tripp, you've left a trail in the history of singing and dancing.” Adrian praised.

Though after the 1970s, the Hollywood song and dance film began to shrink altogether and the cause of Andrews was greatly affected by the emergence of technologies such as Space Roaming 2001 and later Star Wars, among others, and the interest in sports. Forgive me, she still hasn't given up her beloved song and dance movie, the movie doesn't sell, so go to Broadway to perform until '97 because the tumor needed surgery on her throat, and then triggered a series of medical lawsuits before she had to say goodbye to the singing business.

“I'm sure you do too, Adrian, although it's no longer possible for a song and dance film to rekindle the heat of cháo, Red Mill is indeed the best song and dance film of all these years, Nicole? Kidman nv also behaved quite sè, it's great to see such a song and dance movie today.” Andrews complimented.

As mentioned above, after the full shrinkage of song and dance films after the 1970s, traditional methods of performance were no longer popular, and the path of innovation was occasionally tried, but did not elicit as strong a response as before, and song and dance films gradually became less popular. After "Everybody Says I Love You" in '95, there was no more work of a higher standard. In fact, even "Everybody Says I Love You" was criticized, and many people thought it was Woody? Alan starts down the hill.

This is why the Red Mill is of great concern. The type of film may have a low cháo, but it will never disappear, and some bright fire huā will always erupt over time, even if it lasts for a short time. Likewise, the old folks at the Academy would miss that era, the era that glorified them, the age when the art of singing and dancing was an important award winning criterion, so Adrian repeatedly demanded that Nicole must go into action.

Adrian gave a typical example when he persuaded Naomi to sing and dance like Nicole did, Audrey? Hepburn's performance in the film version of "Shushu nv" must have been quite sè, but she didn't even get the best nv lead nomination on the Oscar that year, because none of the dances and songs she danced and sang. And Julie was the one who got the best nv? Andrews, for the third consecutive year, she starred in the stage play "Shushu nv".

So, Nicole's winning base. Of course, it is still not easy to win awards only on the basis of the foundation, and there are some important things that need to be done.

“Remember what you promised me?” At the end of the conversation with Andrews et al. jiāo, Adrian called out a middle-aged man who was somewhat short from the crowd.

“What do you mean?” Harvey? Weinstein blinked.

“Coming up, March thing.” Adrian was too lazy to reveal his fake expression, to be blunt.

“Oh, yeah, I know.” Weinstein, lu, suddenly enlightened god sè, paused for two seconds before lu made another ambiguous smile: “Nicole? Kidman, right? ”

“This is the only film I directed and produced that could possibly take the best nv protagonist.” Adrian laughed.

“That's true,” Weinstein nodded in retrospect, "it seems there will be standards in the future. ”

Follow him again hey smile: “It's a real thing, and it's very xing, and only a big man like you can tame her, but... I remember you once said" Beautiful Mind "is also going to Oscar, so..."

Weinstein made this gesture without saying the following words, but Adrian was well aware of what he meant, assuming that some of the rumors of previous life were not entirely untargeted, in relation to some of his previous manifestations.

“That's my business, Harvey,” Adrian said in a lazy tone, "you just have to do it."

“All right, all right, but look, Ed, Pirates of the Caribbean just started shooting, trying to...” Weinstein stacked his smile.

“This time as last time, Harvey,” Adrian interrupted, “all resources at your disposal, I just want to see the results, so don't say you didn't get the benefit. ”

This profit-making guy didn't speak and laughed twice without shame.

“Don't let me down, Harvey.” Adrian didn't care either, just said it in a very serious way.

Weinstein finally closed his smile and nodded with the same seriousness: "No problem, Ed, as you said, the incident is more plentiful, the situation is more favourable, and I have no reason to fail, just wait and see. ”

He paused, and he just said, “Frankly, Ed, it's been a great fortune working with you. ”

He said it in good faith, and it was true that no media group would give him as much power, even for a short time. And by assuming that power, Weinstein understood that their brothers were not running large media groups, but were more involved in film production and distribution.

“Me too.” Adrian patted Weinstein on the shoulder, helped by a guy who had connections in Hollywood, and things got a lot easier, and AC Media was certainly better suited to have Miramax than Disney.

After leaving Weinstein, Adrian walked to the other side, just sighing in her heart at the same time, if only she was as intelligent as Andrews.

“This is our great miracle director, Adrian? Mr. Corwell, he's a really great director.” Annie? Hathaway was very excited to introduce Adrian to her friend, who, despite her intimate pull on his corner, meant nothing at all, as if it were just a very talkative friend.

“Nice to meet you. I'm Adrian? Corwell, he's not the owner of any company, he's not the director, he's just Adrian.” Whatever it is in your mind, Adrian is still distancing himself from these young people in an approachable way. It's too simple to get their liking, not to mention their minds, like the young nv kid on the far left whose eyes are flashing all the time.

“I'm so happy, Ed. Can you believe it? My first movie is coming out!” It was so easy to wait until the show was about to start, when everyone started going into the screening hall, Adrian got a few minutes to be alone with Annie, and she was so excited to say it again.

“Enjoy your evening, it will be your official Hollywood experience.” Adrian felt no impatience at all, and still kept this smile.

“I really don't know how to thank you, Ed, for giving me this horn.” Annie senses that Adrian can feel it, she's sincere, but that's why he has a headache.

“Buy me a cup of coffee.” That's what he said.

“Just a cup of coffee? How can that be,” Annie didn't hear what I said, “If the movie was a success, my friend and I were going to throw a party to celebrate, could you come and host? ”

She opened her eyes and looked at him like a prayer, holding her hands in fists, looking very earnest, as Adrian said, if she didn't laugh, it was really beautiful.

“Well, if I had time.” Adrian thought about it and said, "Remember to call me first. ”

“No problem!” Look at her leap. If she hadn't gone into the projection hall, she might have jumped and cheered.

Adrian sighed in her heart when she saw Annie so happy that even the nv kid on the left had more eyes than you had. The nv kid, who looked a little bit like Sarah between his eyebrows, stuck a small note in his hand when he just left, undoubtedly wrote about her phone and address.

But it's like Annie didn't hear anything. Well, she's a little slow sometimes, but she shouldn't be so slow, should she? Perhaps she was just protecting herself, but those words sounded sincere, and Adrian's countless judgments in this regard would basically not go wrong.

Looking back at the amount of contact she had during this period, the more it became possible to prove that her eyes were really wrong, and of course, she was also really cute and very talkative, and the people who came into contact with her didn't hate her, as they did just now.

Looks like we're gonna need a few more moves. Want to hit her? Adrian sits in his seat, and his eyes are not far away. Hathaway, in my heart, said so.

Needless to say, the contents and repercussions of the Diary of the Princess received around 7 million box offices in 2200 exhibitors on the first day of screening, compared to 20 million on the first three days of the weekend. Not surprisingly, this number is lower than expected, or Adrian's memory of the box office, after all, it is January, and the number of exhibitors is smaller than the original.

Forgive me, but the first week of the movie was still at the top of the North American box office list, and the quality of the movie was one reason, and some of the media praised it, Gary? Marshall made a beautiful fairy tale movie again, and thinks Julie? Andrews and new actor Annie? Hathaway is doing great, especially innocent and beautiful Annie, like Audrey? Hepburn and Julia? The Roberts complex - a name that Adrian had given us - had also been raised a long time ago. Of course, all nv kids have a princess dream in their hearts, and the reason the movie is popular.

Even today, royalty is almost a tourist destination in the zoo, but the words nobility, prince and princess are still sought after by many. So Disney always holds the "princess knot," because it makes it easy for NV kids to pay their bags. Unfortunately, now that AC Media is working on this, Princess Diary is just the beginning, and I don't know what Disney will do.

Besides, in the early days of January 2002, Adrian continued his leisurely life, and although the filming of The Hacker Empire was important, he was going to London again soon, and he was going to stay for a few days, and asked all the staff to film for a while, and stopped for a while, don't you think?

So I paused my work and took care of the NV children while running back and forth between the NV people. Lily, this naughty troublemaker, doesn't have to say anything. She's going to school in six months. Adrian has to let her go. Just tell her not to set a bad example for Deva and Juliet. Those two little guys not only stick to their dad, but they stick to their sister.

Eleanor was fine, and besides the nanny and mom and dad, she had two aunts who loved her. Gwyneth may not be very comfortable, but Liv really, really likes Eleanor, always saying that seeing her blue eyes is like looking at herself and feeling sorry for herself. By now, this little guy has been able to turn around and sit up, and he's always kept his eyes as open as his mother's, curious to gauge the world, and even his first call was his mother, making Blanchett happy and proud for a long time.

As for Mary, who is over a year old, she has been able to say some brief sentences, and her little pink cutie is very funny when she speaks with her big tongue, okay, that pair of eyebrows máo is beautiful and not upward. But she has a bad máo disease, and she always likes to bite things -- instead of stuffing them in her mouth, she opens her mouth to bite them. On one occasion, Adrian hugged her and didn't pay attention, and she climbed over her body and bit her ear for a long time. She was reluctant to put her down. Her mouth seemed sad that she couldn't be late. Fortunately, her teeth were weak.

“Tell me honestly, Jesse, did you do the same thing when you were a kid?” Adrian asked Jessica very seriously, making a "sure it's you” look that made Jessica smile and hammer him a few punches.

However, not all work had stopped, the routine work reports of the AC media were still to be seen, and some decisions had to be made, and Ivanka had always done well and made it very easy for him, even though he was still in school.

In relation to television films, there are three important things, one of which is whether or not The Black Angel of the End is over. As a science fiction film, and a relatively small number of science fiction films, the viewership rate has not been very high and has declined slightly since the third season began. And despite the background changes, the events of 9/11 had a certain impact on the show, and Jessica's mind was gradually shifting to the movie. On several occasions, Adrian had implied that she wanted to make a movie, and thinking about it, it would be appropriate to transform her now.

More importantly, this sci-fi movie also cultivated some thought-provoking staff in the sci-fi opera, and Adrian was also preparing a sci-fi movie for Gilly in the second half of the year - a little Nikki who also went to haunt Adrian when she found the opportunity and took full advantage of her figure, which was quite eager to become famous. So we need to split the resources to make it, and, by the way, to remind Cameron that he needs to speed up, so the end of the fourth season seems to be positive.

It's just to reassure the production team and get them to start preparing new TV shows, and it needs to be handled with care.

And then there were two films, one of which was Chicago, which was launched late last year, and the stage drama was celebrated on Broadway, and now classic song and dance or traditional song and dance because Red Mill had a brief flash, and Hollywood producers would certainly not have let go of the subject, unfortunately, Adrian would have gotten the copyright, otherwise Naomi and Zeta Jones wouldn't have had that much time to practice song and dance.

Yes, the song and dance film that Adrian had told Naomi was this one. He didn't see many song and dance films in his previous life, but this one impressed him a lot and even surpassed the Red Mill. Without him, the song and dance of the barrister holding the press conference for the main character of NV was very graphic. The main character of NV and the journalists were just the barrister's puppets. The barrister wanted them to say whatever they wanted. With the rhythmic song and dance, the irony of black sè humor was very sharp.

Naomi's practice, Adrian knows, and with her acting, there's no problem getting a nomination. Needless to say, Zeta Jones was hers. Although her performance was not very eye-catching in her previous life and she accounted for a large part of the off-site factors, now that she has two nominations, it is by no means difficult to win the award, let alone Adrian.

Director Nature or Rob? Marshall, he directed a few movies, but a number of theatrical dramas, and a few years ago he directed the theatrical play Chicago, which fits perfectly.

As for the hero, remember Adrian and George when we shot Eleven Rohans? What did Clooney say? Though he doesn't have much of a dance foundation, he started training at the same time as the movie started in mid-last year, perhaps not as well as the professional dancers, but singing and dancing in front of the camera is fine.

And with Adrian watching, the film won't be any worse than the original.
