King of Hollywood

In the warm afternoon sun of spring, the gates of the Koda Theatre look quite vivid, and by this moment, it is already surrounded by human voices. The long red carpet stretched from one end of the street to the entrance to the Kodak Theatre, and the tall Golden Man model was erected, with countless journalists standing in the prescribed area filming bickering women and charming men on the red carpet, still so lively every year, even though the ceremony had been held for 74 years.

The noise rang from the entrance, and a slightly thin but spiritual figure appeared on the red carpet, with a fine black frame of eyes, appearing to be Weanwenya. Journalists are targeting this middle-aged man, the world's most famous director, with countless accolades, more frequent visitors to the Oscars, and his own film company, who has a reputation in Hollywood and even internationally, for countless applause and attention wherever it appears, as it is today.

But only this middle-aged man, smiling at journalists, knows that despite his success, neither side is basically as good as the other. Although the old fellows are very conscientious in running the company, their abilities are always limited and their focus is not complementary, and they look very spectacular, but in fact, the business is shrinking. Early ambition is facing a serious test of reality, let alone film production. Last year's films of the other company, whether real people films or animated films, are at the top of the Hollywood steady sentence.

Perhaps, from a personal point of view, you can stabilize one side of the movie box office. Although they can produce any style of movie, there is still a lack of accumulation in this area, but it is probably too soon to be surpassed. Think about last year's movie. He shook his head with a smile. Why should he care? Having seen nothing in Hollywood all these years, we are partners again.

That being said, he has a headache when he thinks about the other person's private life, and although he has no right to interfere, it involves…

“Hi, Godfather.” A familiar voice enters the ear and Gwyneth's smiling face is reflected in the curtain.

“Hi, Gwinnie.” Spielberg and his daughters embraced him and sighed in his heart. If he was purely from a male perspective, he was probably the object most hated by Hollywood men.

It wouldn't matter if Adrian was just a regular dude, but now almost everyone in Hollywood knows who he is. He didn't just play with it, he kept every one of those wonderful women around, and he was willing to give birth to his children. Kate Beckinsale, Monica? Belucci, Kate? Blanchett and fewer people know about it. Sophie? Marcel, who basically gave birth to him, forgive me, but there are still a lot of women who want to know him, and Hollywood will never find another one like this again.

But who made him so powerful? He was already the chairman of the board of directors of a large media group under the age of forty, and he was an excellent director himself, fully able to discover the characteristics of women. Bringing them to the rear throne is enough to give many women a hug, not to mention a good trick. Spielberg had also persuaded his goddaughter to stay with a playboy, and old Patello had a tantrum in front of his daughter, but Gwyneth was kind to them in other ways, but no matter what they said, they didn't listen.

“Feel comfortable around him, don't worry about anything. No pressure, very comfortable.” Gwyneth used to describe how Spielberg felt around Adrian.

So, what else can he say? You know his other goddaughter Drew? Barrymore, who is said to have secretly sighed at himself, has not met Adrian long ago. Spielberg even heard that last year she was at a bachelor party the day before the wedding. And Cameron, the good sister I met because of "The Breakfast Doll"? Diaz and Hookalie indulged together at Adrian's, and although Drew insisted on denying it privately, he felt it was still very likely.

Nevertheless, no matter what he saw, there was no way to reverse the situation, just as he could not prevent Drew from using drugs and alcohol, it was someone else's private business, and he was just their godfather, or the most common one. Or because... Okay, let's not talk about it. Anyway, even Warren? Betty and Woody? Ellen, not as good as Adrian is today, and no one like that will show up for decades. Let's not think about it, but work together to make the dream factory stronger.

“Yes, I hope Beautiful Mind gets the best movie, I personally love it, Ron did a great job, and Russell and Gwyneth did a pretty good job, and it would be perfect to get the best director and the best male and female lead together.” Spielberg is not at all polite to the press footage, and director Ron? Howard and Russell with a date? Chloe and Gwyneth stand aside and add a few words to him from time to time.

After all, this film has the funds of a dream factory, and it has been released with a lot of energy. It's kind of a work of collaboration between Universal and them, and Spielberg is naturally hoping to get the best film.

“Me too.” A voice came along, and Adriana's face appeared in front of the crowd, not so handsome, but so flavorful.

“Hi, Steven.” He opened his arms warmly to him.

“Hi, Ed.” Spielberg smiled and embraced one and looked around, um, there was no other woman nearby who had ambiguous relations with Adrian.

“No wonder I just heard a cheer over there. It turns out you came.” Then he said.

“The big director's compliment just sounds different.” Adrian picked out the eyebrows, which prompted a laugh, and then the reporter hurried up and asked questions, and there were really not many opportunities to interview him.

Spielberg then gave way slightly to allow Adrian to fully confront the journalists. If it was five or six years ago, he would have had to talk to him in front of these people. Now that he is older and has more troubles lately, he is not interested in doing so.

Adrian didn't say much, he just liked "Beautiful Mind" and Russell and Gwyneth's performance, but the reporter grabbed the nominations for "Red Mill" and "King of Rings 1" and asked him if he was dissatisfied with the two pieces. Unfortunately, the problem was that Adrian had to say that he was very good at speaking, and that he was very modest in saying that the two films were nothing. But then he praised it again, eventually indicating how the results would have to wait for the awards ceremony to end.

But probably because Gwyneth was around. Mentioned Nicole? When Kidman said just a few words, Spielberg shook his head slightly on his own.

“You just seemed to disagree with me, Steven.” After getting rid of the reporter and starting to move on to the Kodak Theatre, he talked to Russell and exchanged a few vague words with Gwyneth. Adrian slowly stepped down and walked alongside Spielberg.

“No, it's nothing, it's just that reporters feel a little out of their minds, trying to dig the news out of your mouth.” Spielberg remarked.

Adrian Haha laughed. And then I changed the subject: "Oh, yeah, I heard about Arthur? Gordon, the movie adaptation of that novel is in your hands or in the hands of a dream factory. ”

Spielberg, who knew that he and he had come to everything, must have done something else, picked a frown: "Arthur? Gordon's novel? ”

He quickly remembered and looked at Adrian with a strange look: "Geisha Memoirs"? ”

“Yes,” Adrian nodded with a smile, “you know, I have a deep and sensitive understanding of Asian culture, so after reading Geisha Memoirs, I had the idea of adapting. I also have the right Japanese actor here. I didn't expect you guys to do it one step at a time, so I thought... maybe you'd like us to make it? ”

“Let you make it? Don't you think you're asking too much? Ed?” Speaking in that tone, Spielberg didn't look angry.

“Have you decided to direct and produce it yourself?” Adrian is still smiling.

“Of course not, I have a lot to do, but after all, we have the right to adapt. Do you want to take it in one sentence? ”

“You don't know how the Japanese react to this novel, do you? Just last year, Ms. Iwasaki Peak, a prototype of Sayuri, also published A Real Geisha Memoir to express her dissatisfaction. So I can basically predict what happens when the movie comes out.” Adrian winks, "but it's different if you leave it to us to make, because I know how to modify how it works to get them to accept the story. ”

Speaking so much, Spielberg didn't have any expression, just stared at him and waited below.

“All right, all right.” Adrian raised his hands and looked a little helpless, "we could work together, like The Beautiful Mind, and then I had a script about Japanese culture, and I looked forward to it as long as the dreammill wanted. Cooperation could also be carried out in the current format. ”

“Oh?” Spielberg revealed curiosity.

“You know what, John? Logan was a very thoughtful writer. Last year he and David? Franzoni almost got the best original script of The Gladiator. Adrian explained,“ This year he had another idea, a story about a Japanese samurai. Around the middle of the 19th century, when Japan needed change because of the United States, Japan completely abolished the profession of samurai, and then started a riot in which an American, the protagonist, was caught up in friendship with this group of samurai, who were bound to fall, and became obsessed with the charm of samurai. ”

“Sounds... interesting.” Spielberg pushed the glasses and quickly counted them in his heart.

It is impossible to judge the script from such a narrative, but the problem is that Adrian is very attractive, and no-one doubts his view anymore, and it is entirely worth a try. And while Geisha Memoir is a great seller, but it is unacceptable to some Japanese people, Iwasaki Peak almost sued Gordon, which is why Spielberg wanted to lead it, but then gave up. If he gave it to Adrian, it would be nice to give him a headache.

“This script written by Logan is called The Last Samurai,” Adrian said at this moment, “I can have the outline sent to you whenever you need it, and the production rights are not indisputable, and whoever you want to lead is fine. ”

“Including Tom? Cruz?” Spielberg spoke out.

Dream factories are working with Cruz during this time, with Spielberg personally directing, and Cruz's Minority Report has finalized this summer's vacation slot, which will continue if the box office meets expectations. So Spielberg knew very well that Cruz would never allow anyone around him to have an ex-wife and Adrian in advance, otherwise it would be better to just look ugly.

He's heard the rumor, too. And I know it's very likely, just by looking at Adrian and Nicole, but that doesn't mean he'll be on Cruz's side. After all, there's no reason for Adrian to alienate Adrian from his early support for the creation of the Schindler List and the establishment of the Dream Factory until now.

Pick up the camera, he's the director, and when you put the camera down, he becomes a businessman.

And for Cruz, he feels even. Although polite most of the time, sometimes excessive stress leads to unprovoked ecstasy or rage, which is disgusting. But it's also easy to impress, so Spielberg says it naturally right now.

Adrian then gave a surprise look, and Spielberg, consciously speaking the wrong words, was about to remedy them, but the next sentence stunned him.

“Sure, as long as you want," Adrian said, with a strange smile, seemingly remembering something interesting. “Whoever takes the lead can. ”

Finally. Adrian was relieved after Spielberg left.

Well, the whole thing was like this, when I went to Tokyo to visit Kyoko Fukuda because of the relationship with Takeshi Hamasaki, as a “conscientious” and “moral” capitalist, I should still say how much after that, after all, Kyoko Fukuda that pair of Toyotomi is not as good as Ivanka, Scarlett and Kelly. But the servants also worked hard.

Adrian was a little upset until John? Logan's new script appears.

He didn't think Logan, who wrote The Gladiator, was also the writer of The Last Samurai —— well, he just didn't look carefully in his memory —— which just solved the problem. In "The Last Samurai" there happens to be a small female character, just in time for Kyoko Fukuda to try it out.

As for Yukie, don't worry, Adrian won't hurt her. The road has been arranged. With Gilmore Girl and a few films, she still has a lot of fame in North America. She is a relatively well-known Asian actor. In the middle of the process, however, there are some pieces that are missing. Fortunately, Adrian came up with another film about the Japanese because of "The Last Ignorance," which was adapted from Arthur? Gordon's novel, Neither in Japan nor China, had a good Geisha Memoir.

Honestly. The movie's box office and reputation are pretty bad, but most of the reason lies with the producer. I don't know which genius was the idea, even if the Japanese don't have the number one actor in the international rankings, it shouldn't be Chinese actor. The word difference is very easy to associate, ordinary people don't care about those differences, so the result is that the Japanese don't like it, the Chinese don't like it, the previous place has some to catch back, the latter place can't even get in.

And it would be foolish to set a show date in December —— and this is something Adrian remembers only when he hangs his head —— and this has nothing to do with Americans, it's just that Hunchy's movie is on Christmas archives, and it's early in the day, and it's still stuck in a couple of big commercial films, and even if Adrian directs it himself, it would take a lot of work to do that, and it would take a long line of projection to make it possible to get some of the box offices after January.

In addition to the two hard injuries above, the film ended with a heavy loss, and Sayuri stayed with the chairman as a lover. Western feminists will never like this plot, and perhaps this is the case in reality. There is no place for purity in the entertainment industry, no matter what profession. Needless to say, Adrian is surrounded by a lot of lovers, but it does not mean that feminists can allow such plots in movies, especially in a movie that makes a lot of noise, which is inevitable.

In this case, if the box office gets taller, that's what the hell is going on. The thought of Iwasaki Peak as a prototype would be angry, probably irrelevant to the ending of the plot. After all, she is an independent woman in the current reality.

Adrian remembers that Geisha Memoirs got almost a billion boxes around the world, so there are still advantages in the plot, such as demonstrating Geisha training, games and other flowery whistle moves. Even in Japan, which is very excluded, it seems to have taken more than 10 million, so if the three most important points mentioned above are corrected, it won't be difficult to have a higher box office and reputation for the movie.

Now that Yukie has been in Hollywood for many years, her reputation is not insignificant. There is nothing wrong with her as Sayuri's corner. She also happens to put her reputation on the next level to build a stronger foundation.

Unfortunately, however, the film copyright of Geisha Memoirs was taken by the dream factory in the late 1990s. It was not easy to take it away from them, so Adrian simply traded it for "The Last Samurai". Anyway, the film was also very selling, just let Kyoko Fukuda take on that female role.

Was it Adrian or did you not expect Spielberg to ask, "Including Cruz? So he was kind of surprised, after all, that the original" The Last Samurai "starred Cruz, and now it's in his hands in this way? So he didn't hesitate to say yes, remember the original version of... Watanabe Ken, should be the name, got the nomination of the best male partner, but Cruz had nothing to gain, how can such an interesting scene disappear?
