King of Hollywood

“Very good, very good this time!” Almost thirty times after ng, Adrian finally stopped shouting that the lens was ready to pass. ([])

Jacques and Rachel were both relieved on the set. Rachel was particularly obvious. This was the most number of ng since "Never Been Forward" shooting. Jacques was fine. He had performed well before, and it didn't matter if he was in this situation. But Rachel just started shooting less than two days ago, and she knew it was going well, so the pressure was going to be a lot higher.

“Rest ten minutes.” After a closer look at the footage behind the monitor, Adrian announced.

And then he taped Jacques praising him, encouraging his assistants, and then came to Rachel, who was in a bit of a trance? In front of MacAdams: "Are you all right, Rachel? ”

“Ah? Oh, Ed, I'm fine, I'm just...” Rachel was shocked when she saw Adrian and quickly stood up and gave her an embarrassing smile. The two bars made her look lovely.

“Relax,” Adrian made a gesture, "sit down, it's break time. ”

“Okay.” Rachel nodded and sat down as he said, just her eyes kept turning, still looking a little nervous.

“Remember what you initially said about Vivian?” Adrian asked in a relaxed tone in his eyes, "and the husband had no common language, which led to the breakdown of the relationship between them, right? Now that you've been playing this role for two days, I'm sure you've got a better understanding. So, that's the point? ”

This relaxed Rachel a little and shook her head after looking at Adrian: "Yes, I have more understanding, but most of the views I had before me still have to maintain. ”

“Oh?” Adrian picked an eyebrow and made a "please say” gesture.

“Vivian and her husband's lack of a common language remains the key to their separation,” encouraged Rachel said immediately, "and after I got the script, I carefully crossed the character and looked for relevant information. It's a bit critical that Johnny got married before joining the army. And there were a lot of marriages like this in World War II, and most of them were done in a very hurry, and that's one of the main reasons they didn't have a common language. ”

Rachel paused here and Adrian nodded with a smile.

“So I kept this view," Rachel continued, "but based on some of the information from the late fifties, I believe Vivian still wanted to live with Johnny. After all, they already had children, and she tried to understand Johnny's life, but the world was so far apart that it eventually led to a divorce. ”

“Hmm...” Adrian moped his chin to make a thoughtful appearance, and Rachel, once again slightly nervous after a breath, watched him carefully.

“Let me see the script.” He said so. Then I brought Rachel's script, and it took me a few minutes to flip it over.

“Well, the back set of footage is temporarily off, and I need to change it a little bit," Adrian said as he flipped the script over to Rachel. “See this passage? You have to conceive, and I need you to be angry and show a little helplessness and blend in with what you said before, okay? ”

“This...” Rachel looked a little surprised at him, "If you adjust now...”

“It won't be a problem, if it's been a while. I'm not going to make that change, but now it's only two days, and you're not fully integrated into the character,” Adrian laughs, "and it's easy to make that change at this point, as long as you have that determination, so would you like to try it? Rachel?”

Half of them didn't answer, and Adrian screamed, “Rachel? ”

Looking at his Rachel, he reacted. He laughed embarrassingly and asked carefully. “But I need time to reintegrate into feelings. ”

“No problem, I can shoot other shots first, you can brew them here, and we'll try again when you're done with the show today, okay?” Adrian immediately said, calling the deputy director with a wave and several assistants, telling them to start adjusting and letting Natalie know that she was getting ready to go early.

Although the whole story happened in the South of the United States, there was no need to go out there and build a scenery like Bones in Winter, and if you weren't worried about being attacked, a biographical film about a legendary country singer wouldn't find a view of Tennessee in it, and Adrian even wanted to find a place in California or Texas.

You know, in order to give the whole movie an atmosphere of the '50s and' 60s, he took a lot of work, and not only did he hire an old rock producer to play the orchestra in preparation, but he also trained Jacques and Natalie in all aspects so that they could perfectly imitate Cash and Joan in front of the camera, even the guitar and microphone used the products of the time, with little use of digital technology, and the cameras used older models.

Then you work a lot on the scenery and the clothing, which naturally creates the look of that time in front of the camera. As a result, the exterior portions are concentrated in the back, and most of the shots can be done in the studio, so today, Rachel has a new idea, Adrian has to adjust easily, and the main actors are in front of her.

Actually, Adrian didn't think about what Rachel was thinking, but Rachel's acting was somewhat worse now, and, like Vera, she was older than herself, so he gave up on her plan. But now that Rachel offered, she said she could do it, and Adrian let her try.

Of course, Rachel's thoughts were clear to him, and Rachel's eyes sparkled when he told her he was going to put her in a female role in his newly directed film. The vision of a miracle director, the work of a miracle director, the invitation of a miracle director. What this means is that she doesn't need to be in a TV show at all if she's going to be famous in the movie world.

But Adrian wouldn't do what she wanted. If Rachel could satisfy him in the future, he wouldn't mind giving him more sweets, but until then, let's be honest and shoot a TV show. Besides, Lost is not a regular TV show. As for Vivian's role, uh, you know. Even if Cash and Vivian ended up with a divorce, they still had at least four daughters, and if Cash and Joan had both passed away, they would certainly not have liked the biographical film about their mother, but had to be emotionally skewed away from Cash and Joan because "Never Forward" describes the emotional journey between them.

So, as you can imagine, wait for the movie to go on. What complaints will Cash's daughters make. As long as Natalie stays in the beginning, Rachel doesn't have much room to play, and the end result doesn't have to be said much.

In fact, it was this Adrian who put Rachel on Vivian, otherwise wouldn't it be better for so many women around them to come? Gives Rachel the benefit. Give her a goal that looks good, but doesn't make too much difference. Doesn't that count well? Of course, there is another reason for her to perform.

“Hey, Rachel, any other plans tonight?” After today's shooting, after telling the story, Adrian came to Rachel and asked.

“Hmm?” Rachel beamed first, then swept around to reveal a flattering look, "No. No, what can I do for you? ”

“Yes, I'd like to know if there's that honor to have dinner with you.” Adrian smiled.

Rachel blinked and seemed to have lost track of him. Half a dozen minutes later: "If it was just dinner..."

“Thank you." Adrian immediately made a gesture, and the two left the studio in the next issue of staff watching.

Seeing Natalie in her eyes, while maintaining her indifferent expression on her face, pretended not to see anyone else - including Jacques - throw or look surprised or admired. But I couldn't help but laugh in my heart and feel even more uncertain about my future.

“What, do I have something on my face?” Adrian asked after driving the battery car to the parking lot and getting in his seat.

“No, it's just...” Rachel made pointless gestures, "suddenly I thought... you were a little different. ”

“Oh?” Adrian laughed. "Was I horrible? ”

“No, of course not, but...” Rachel didn't seem to know how to describe it, “The impression you gave me before was...”

“Pure dude,” Adrian picked out the eyebrow interface, “a thoughtful chase for a woman, although she can talk, some style, is considerate to a woman, and she gets along well, but she is a good person, and her mind is full of ideas on how to get the woman she wants to go to bed. ”

“Well... this...” Rachel coughed dry and looked out the window a little embarrassed, “I didn't say. ”

Adrian laughed softly: "But today, you suddenly think I'm a little different, nothing extra to say when shooting, nothing unrelated to work, and listened carefully and fully respected your opinions, as if they were two people. However, as soon as the shooting ended, his courtesy appeared again. He actually asked himself out to dinner in front of so many people. Someone didn't know that the dude was ever upset to ask a woman out to dinner, so he had to declare in advance, just to eat dinner. I didn't expect this guy to say yes. It's really bad, he must have some plans and plans...”

Speaking of the back, Adrian started deliberately pretending to have a tone, and Rachel couldn't help laughing.

“I've always heard that while you're a great director and producer when you're making movies, you like to make pointy and harsh ridicules about people who don't meet your requirements when you're filming.” Rachel said so after laughing, "so I inevitably got a little worried, though... but okay, I finally realized that a lot of the rumors weren't so accurate. ”

“I know who needs ridicule, and who needs encouragement, to be a good director, must learn to observe," Adrian said softly. "The same goes for the playboy, who wouldn't know what women are thinking if he didn't observe. You don't know how to cheer them up. ”

“Really?” Rachel's face changed slightly, "That night... you didn't. ”

“So I want to make it up to you today.” Adrian said in a very sincere tone, "You wouldn't want to give me this chance, would you? ”

“You're an elusive man, Ed,” Rachel sighed for a moment, “Go ahead, you set it all up. ”

Speaking of which, it was interesting to see the two women who walked the three of us together the first night, both of whom were deserving women, despite the circumstances. Somewhat influenced by the party atmosphere, but if it wasn't for the woman who pulled her face off, how could she have agreed to Adrian's suggestion?

But after that, Adrian and Vera went out for a little while at a party, and Rachel didn't go on, and she seemed to characterize her behavior as pioneering, separate from formal dating, so even that night she acted much more proactive than Vera. But then every time Adrian asked her out, she ended up being rejected.

Although Adrian had only asked twice, she had succeeded in attracting his interest, so that Rachel could refuse an invitation to a date, but not to a film, especially the actress of a biographical film directed by the miracle director herself. This is more attractive than the actress in a TV show. So she finally said yes. In this case, how can Adrian allow his prey to escape, and then the rest of the story becomes plausible?

Adrian, of course, inevitably wonders, if she ever refused, how much she might have planned to back down, Rachel? MacAdams is not just a girl. But then what? At least Rachel fits his taste. And sexually intriguing, will judge the situation correctly, he said, she immediately promised, so he doesn't mind her being careful, hurry up and play a few more times.

Speaking of which. Adrian wasn't interested in watching the show for so long, but things were always hard to figure out.

“Going to Japan next month to shoot, are you ready, Yuki?” When we finished filming back to the mansion, we were going to take a break and go to Kate's, where Ji-hye was at home. Adrian couldn't help but laugh at her a few words.

“Of course," Yukie was always that low-eyed gesture that never got tired of looking at, "I trained a lot and sometimes even thought that I could totally be a geisha. ”

“Oh, to be my personal geisha?” Adrian laughed as he took off his coat.

“I'll do whatever you need me to do.” Ki-hye naturally took over the coat.

Adrian laughed, “I'm going to go around East Asia for a while, and I'm definitely going to the set, and if you're still here, show me your hands. ”

“Okay.” Ji Hui bowed, then hesitated, "Annie? Miss Hathaway is here, in the study, about half an hour ago. ”

Adrian picked an eyebrow and looked Ji Hui's head down. Some timid gestures didn't say much, just nodded: “I get it. ”

He walked down the stairs to the second floor, and soon came to the door of the study, and the door was open, and she could see the pale face sitting on a single sofa, Annie, she was dressed simply but officially, the coat, to the narrow knee skirt, and the high heels, just a lot of nagging, her eyes swollen, her hands stirred together nervously and scorched, her eyes staring at the front.

“Hi, Annie, Yuki said you've been here half an hour. What's up?” Adrian walked in and asked in a relaxed tone.

Annie was scared first, and after seeing Adrian clearly, her eyes flashed and she fell on her knees, hugging his leg and crying: "Please, Ed, please, have mercy, forgive me, I didn't do anything, I really didn't do anything. ”

Despite her psychological readiness - Annie must have cried in front of Yukie, without a doubt, or she wouldn't have let her in. But Adrian still didn't think that she could do this, she didn't say anything, she just knelt down and hugged her leg before she started begging, which is really unbearable.

“Get up first, Annie, you're embarrassing me.” Adrian sighed.

“No, Ed, please, no," Annie sobbed, holding his leg tighter on her knees, "I didn't do anything, I didn't do anything... but the press said I was an accomplice... the police also said there was evidence that I wasn't innocent... they also said I was applying for a search warrant and the prosecutor was suing me... I really didn't do anything, Ed, please, give me a break, give me a break! ”

The sad and cute voice was enough to move anyone, but Adrian had no expression on his face. He tried to step back two times, but Annie immediately moved her knees and heeled her, her arms wrapped around his legs. Apparently, even if he kicked her upside down, she would still climb over and continue as long as no one threw her out.

“Shouldn't you be looking for a lawyer? As long as you're really innocent, a good lawyer is enough to help you with everything.” Adrian sighed.

But Annie didn't answer, she just curled up on the ground and grabbed his leg and cried, repeatedly in her mouth: “I was wrong, I'm sorry, I was wrong. ”

This woman... Adrian couldn't reside in her heart to twitch, although her eyes were not good, but she still had some wisdom in her head, and she could pull off her face, figure out her situation, know what the problem was, when she set everything aside - dignity, personality - to beg for forgiveness in the lowest possible way, no wonder she did the same in previous life, but she could still mix up some fame. (To be continued.)
