King of Hollywood

Chapter 235: Ralph's “Boyfriend”

“Look, she's serious, what an exciting love.” On the big screen, sexy-dressed Sophie said in a lazy tone, her eyes blinking and looking at Monica with her sunglasses and a double gun.

Movie plots had advanced, and when Murphy and Trinity and the bodyguards of the Prophet went to the French to find the trainer, to try to save Neo, and were surrounded by a regiment of French men, Trinity clearly expressed her attitude that she could do anything to save Neo, so that the French wife was amazed.

If it's the original Hacker Empire 3, there's nothing special about the exclamation, but it's different now, because the second film, which has been embraced as one of the classics by many fans, is the one where Sophie, the guest of French wives, forcibly kisses Monicasso, who plays Trinity.

“You have to admit, when Sophie? Marcel and Monica? When Belucci kissed each other, it was incredibly tempting.” Someone wrote so admirably on the internet.

In this situation, Sophie's characters seem a little vague when they say such things, and her expression is lazy and sad, believing that many people will fully develop the play in their minds.

“This looks much better than it did at the time of the shooting, have you practiced together many times in private?” Sitting in his seat, Adrian deliberately whispered to Sophie and Monica, sitting together, smiling low and looking narrow, but getting two white eyes and a gentle hum.

So, if it's changed to Neo faking his death and returning. Naturally, you won't be able to see the fun part. Well, this is a joke, and the main reason it hasn't been changed is because the novel was written in its original form. In this way, adaptations that merely complement the plot or make all kinds of cuts are nothing, but completely subverting some of the plots can make some fans unacceptable, especially novelists and script adapters and film directors the same person. Adrian had to abandon this somewhat interesting idea, along with other factors, such as rearranging the hints in the details.

Anyway, the original plot is pretty good, so since it's hard to modify, it's a lot of work to fix. Especially the final battle between Neo and Smith. The original version of this place, where two people came and went like Superman, seemed to be very powerful, but the false feeling was even more obvious, even though everyone knew that it was about antivirus software and viruses.

So if we can make this last battle even better, then the movie will have to go up again. To that end, Adrian decided to let Yuan Ba direct the action himself, rather than his apprentice. At the same time, an creative group was added.

Although Yuan Ba's request for a price increase had to be accepted in the end - although Adrian had initially signed him a three-part contract, since the crew looked like he had no choice, Yuan Ba naturally had to do so. Nevertheless, despite the promised price increase, he managed to find a way out of his bottom line after repeated negotiations. The numbers are not very large. Moreover, the action design group established long ago below Universal has made great progress in this regard. Unless it is a Martial Arts film in another two years, Hong Kong's motion guidance is probably no longer needed, so even if he is given a pension or tuition fee, this money will be fine.

I'm sure Yuan Ba saw this too. That is why such a request was made at that time.

The money was actually worth it, Yuan Baojia creative group, then Adrian joined in from time to time to discuss a few words, and this war between Neo and Smith became very interesting, especially the one that broke the laws of physics and fought all the way down the vertical wall of the building. With all sizes of flying masonry, it's very dynamic, giving people a completely different feeling to the first act, and it's a little bit like the annihilation of the heavens and the earth in comics.

Of course, this cg was rendered repeatedly, and Adrian deliberately ordered the special effects group to slow down. It was shown at the end of '03 anyway, and the cg started to be made after the two films had been taken together. For almost a year, the end result was naturally quite remarkable.

Adrian thought it was pretty good, though some might like it and others might not, and this fantastic fight was a perfect ending to the Hacker Empire trilogy.

“Although the miracle director began by stating that the end of the film was just as good as the end of the novel, after reading it, I thought the end of the film was worse than the end of the novel. Yes, the film ended brightly, with Neo sacrificing himself, and Zion's humans and robots reaching a peace agreement, yet less profound than the novel's chaotic and vague ending.” This was part of an article by a critic at the previous Hacker Empire 3 screening, and was endorsed by a number of people immediately after the film was released.

At the end of the novel, the future of mankind was not clearly given, but ended with a small figure turning away, a slightly longer mouth, and a description of “all normal” psychological activity. That is, if needed, it can be interpreted to mean that Zion is actually a second layer of virtual space, infinitely imaginative.

For those who like to brainstorm, the end of the novel is undoubtedly more appetizing to those who analyze the various details of the previous two songs over and over again, and instinctual opposition comes after a clear movie end. However, some people like the end of the novel, others like the end of the movie, it's clear and clear, so you don't have to figure out exactly what it means.

“Mr. Cowell never said it was a film of art, although it was full of metaphors, and essentially the Hacker Empire series was first a commercial film and then a representative of Cyberpunk culture. Although the two sequels that followed lacked a bit of a sense of stunning compared to the first, they were still excellent pieces, and there were still a lot of details to analyze, and there was no need to do it again and again on the end.” This is what an online film critic wrote in his own highly visited blog.

There was also a lot of support for this comment. Anyway, a relative minority of people like to brainstorm and like to look for all kinds of similar, rather than detailed, details in a movie, and more people go to the cinema to relax. That's one of the reasons Adrian ended up in the original version, and he couldn't give up a larger audience for the sake of that small group of people.

It's a good thing that both sides argued about it. Is it controversial to attract attention, and the reputation of Hacker Empire 3 is generally good. But most of all, Adrian laughed, and the fans of the Internet, after some of the debates that you've been having with me, have gone a long way, for a reason. Although Adrian arranged this, he left enough clues throughout the story to name the actual ending as a novel version.

They gave a lot of evidence, and someone even watched three or four scenes in a cinema, and they wrote down some key, or self-critical, places where this assertion came round and went online. Well, this is a kind of brain remedy, and it should be both his big fan and his big fan of The Hacker Empire, otherwise how could he be so fanatical?

And it's because of these people. The Hacker Empire 3 first week box office went well over 100 million, and although it was less than the Hacker Empire 2 first week box office of 130 million, it was also quite remarkable. This is what happens when the second film is fully fermented, and Adrian becomes the director of the first two films for the first week, proving once again the name of his miracle, at the same time. After the bustle of November, the movie market in December also kicked off again.

In this case, nobody gets to rock face to face, so, Tim? Burton's new Big Fish plays behind Hacker Empire 3, but with an unusually low profile. But there are only 6 cinemas, and there is no premiere yet. This is a pity for Adrian, after all, he recommended the actress Kirsten to Burton, and if there is a premiere, it's fine to help the fairy station.

But that's all right, Tim? Burton's fantastically inspiring route to Gothic style was once again frustrated, and Adrian remembered that the global box office did not seem to have recovered the cost. Still, the reputation is as good as ever, which is why he would recommend Kirsten as the actress.

So, he's the only one who can fight him on the stage. More than a week after Hacker Empire 3 was shown, Ring King 3 was officially released.

“Don't you find it a little silly to ask me that question, sir? For a director, all the work was his children, and there was no favorite way to say it.” Once again, Adrian stood on the red carpet. In the face of the journalists' various shots, “These are two completely different series, all with a grand and complete view of the world, but the object is completely different, why must they be compared together? ”

He was still holding right, but not Monica and Sophie, but Blanchett and Liv, and of course, the reporters kept pushing the shutter.

“Mr. Corwell, why Gwyneth? Miss Patrol didn't make it to today's premiere?” A journalist suddenly asked.

Adrian's smile stayed the same: "Shouldn't we be asking her agent about this? Well, according to the information I received, she was feeling a little sick and resting at home, so she couldn't come to the premiere, and she had apologized and expressed regret to me on the phone. ”

“What a pity, why didn't I apologize and express regret on the phone?” Blanchett sighed so much after getting rid of the reporters outside, while Liv smiled and covered his mouth.

Though they also sandwiched him in the middle, he did not embrace their waist and limbs this time, as he did at the premiere of Hacker Empire 3. More than a week ago, the photograph had attracted a lot of attention, and if it came out again, it would be hard to say if some bold, arrogant guy would want to take it any further. Some of those stories were about Timonica and Sophie's kids, so today there's a reporter asking why Gwyneth didn't come.

If Blanchett had been pregnant in the first place, because the Internet was not as developed as it is today, and although they were famous, the average person was not as receptive as the youth idols. But in the back, Julia was a very popular American sweetheart, and Gwyneth eventually gained a lot of attention after taking the film off of Demon Head after losing Oscar several times, and reporters were aiming at their every move.

The former is fine. Adrian sent her to Hawaii to cultivate for a while, and "White Clamped Bamboo Peaches" kept her popular, and she lost weight quickly after childbirth, so even if someone guessed, it was just a catch. But Gwyneth was the first to tell her about her pregnancy, undoubtedly another argument and compromise, but Gwyneth spent a lot of time with her mother, so she was photographed with a small belly drum.

Fine, because Adrian's precautions are right. The media also said that she was a little blessed, didn't dig too deep, and that the temporary hidden trail kept her popular with the Ten-Day Mop Book, like Julia, so she was still in a state of arrest. However, the inability to attend King of the Rings 3 was indeed very reminiscent, and Adrian certainly could not give journalists more information in such cases, although he knew that they would be published sooner or later as his daughters grew up, but with different means. The results are also different and, if achieved, the negative effects are believed to be minimized.

Just like this...

“If you really want to, Kate, we can try.” Adrian frowned and turned to Liv, who was about to speak: “So are you. ”

“I didn't say anything.” Liv threw up his tongue and quickly changed his mouth. Forgive me, but she still whispered uncomfortably.

Well, the principle of unanimity, their mood is understandable, so... when the premiere is over, go home and communicate slowly.

Just like the premiere of Hacker Empire 3. There are many guests, but Adrian is already the most powerful person in Hollywood from the director's and producer's point of view, not to mention sitting in the chair of AC Media, the head of the media group, a great director and producer, and the first in Hollywood history. There must be plenty. Especially since his Hacker Empire 3 is sucking money around the globe, and his Ring King 3 is likely to end it, how is it possible not to be personally involved?

In this case, Adrian spent half a day talking to the Phoenix brothers.

“I've heard them say that every time Legrace bows and arrows, the screams of the girls are the loudest moments, it looks like. Your image is going to be fixed like this.” Adrian smiled and twitched the smallest silver, then blinked: “What, your little girlfriend didn't come along? ”

Speaking and pretending to look at Dong Zhang Xi, he made Jacques and Rivan laugh.

'Cause I don't want to be prosecuted. ”Silver mourned and wrote the phrase," Can't you let me go? "They seem to have a good relationship.

“All right, forget it," Adrian waved, then turned to Jacques and Rivan, "and as soon as I got back, I saw the last few shots of Gone, and it turned out Jacques was perfect for Johnny? Cash, so, Ralph, are you ready to beat your brother? ”

“I don't know," gave this answer to Rivan, “I didn't see the specific effects after the clip, I couldn't comment, but I went to Montana for enough training this time, and I would certainly not lose. ”

“Yeah, just to kiss a man on camera is enough to compare me to it.” Jacques grinned over Ralph's shoulder with his eyes rolled over and then revealed his curiosity towards Adrian: “Oh, Ed, you never told us who Ralph's boyfriend was. ”

“Well...” Adrian thought about it and gave the answer: "Well, anyway, you're going to meet soon, and you're going to turn it on by March next year - have you seen The Sixth Sense of Life and Death? ”

“Let me think…” Jacques grabbed his head and it didn't occur to me that Silver and Ralph had said their names in unison: "Brad? Pete? ”

“Yes, that's right, Brad? Pete." Adrian hey, smile, "although much older than Rayvan, it definitely fits well together. ”

“Wow, wow,” Jacques screamed, “listen, what our miracle director said! God, I heard some women like to fantasize about bringing together some handsome men. I didn't expect you to have that kind of hobby, don't tell me that you are actually...”

“Want to try it?” Adrian immediately raised his eyebrows and watched him reveal his dangerous divinity.

“I didn't say anything. I didn't say anything.” Jacques quickly covered his mouth, smiling and swinging his hands.

Ralph shook his head next to him, gave his brother his elbow, and then shifted the subject: “I know, Pete, I was in The Night Vampire, and I had a series of reporters, and I played with him, and he was good, but why did he pick Jack? Where's Trister, Ed? ”

“I met him in the production of Night Visit Vampire, and as an actor, he was pretty good, distinctive, and hard-working, just not very lucky.” Adrian explained, "I went through a lot of lists when selecting the right characters, but when I saw a poster for The Sixth Sense of Life and Death, it was when I lowered my head and kissed the heroine on the back, and it happened to be in a poster I designed for Broken Back Mountain, Jack? Trister's image coincides -- don't worry, he didn't kiss Ennis? Derma's hands back. ”
