King of Hollywood

At the beginning of New Year's Eve, there are no more weekly commercial screenings like the Christmas season, and the entire market is starting to fall back, and companies are starting to think about arrangements for the new year, in addition to movies that continue to draw money, such as movie slots, or upcoming awards, as well as investment and production of new movies.

Adrian was no exception, and he was eager to find someone to pick up Cameron's squad and put the shelves on the back of Transformers first.

It's not easy, it's not easy, Cameron did a great job on the first one, not to mention the fact that the movie has 1.1 billion box offices worldwide! And some areas are not offline. Whether or not we end up with 1.2 billion, it's still a staggering record, and while it's about half as good as the staggering 2 billion on the Titanic, it's undeniable that the two best selling films in the world today are from James? Cameron's hand.

Think of the original, the world is just over 700 million, almost doubled, it's really Cameron. Faced with such an insurmountable mountain and ready to be compared by film critics and fans, the box office is the most obvious proof that anyone needs to measure themselves before taking over.

Did Adrian think about it most, or Michael? Bei, at least he knows what the audience wants to see, and even if the plot is flawed, he can use other means to draw the audience's attention. As for the plot, after careful attention to the Harry Potter series, he had realized that it was impossible to do a task to want the series of films to be of the same quality.

It's just that it's not easy to pick up Cameron's class. Bei himself doesn't like to make sequel movies - he probably realizes that sequel movies have to be compared to previous directors, and he doesn't like the feeling. However, a lot of things have gone wrong for him over the years, and several films he made after breaking up with Brookheimer have been lost, but the horror films he invested in in in partnership with Bosworth have made money, so maybe he can sit on them? And his relationship with Dream Factory is good...

Ultimately, Adrian decided to let someone get in touch with him for a while, see how he reacted, and then he turned his attention to his film.

Because the movie companies are not particularly concerned about the January season, the films that were previously spotted will basically show gradually at this time, so "Out of Control" is scheduled for mid-January. Because there were already many film critics watching and writing comments at the time of the previous shooting, there was not much excitement, but that is why. The controversy over the film has not ceased and three camps have been divided.

First of all, the professional film critics, they all criticized the film very seriously, and they all had similar opinions. Natalie acted very well and had an unnamed shock in it. But the whole movie, although the fire was well controlled and the suspension was hidden to the last minute, had handled the details well and was missing in some places, so compared to Adrian's previous work. Out of Control can only score 80.

Then there's the fan base, Adrian and Natalie's. Rational fans also analyze the strengths and weaknesses of stories and performances, but loyal fans always find ideas to prove that their idols are the best. Especially Natalie's fans, who were passionate about Amidala before the Star Wars because they liked her, and her performance in "Out of Control" was incredible, so you can always see some words on the Internet that exaggerate her.

The third is the guys who attacked to attack, all kinds of people in there, and they have one thing in common. That's hating Adrian, so they'd be happy to capture the miracle director's vulnerabilities for criticism. Plus, there are people pushing it back, so it's not too bad. The purpose of Adrian's production of "Out of Control" was most publicized by them, and as I said before, it's not hard to guess from his actions over the years.

So, "Adrian bought the Academy of Film Arts and Sciences?” Such headings have been circulating on some websites for a long time, with the aim of saying nothing more. Dead and loyal fans are naturally trying to defend the idols, and in their view, not to mention a few awards in the district, where all the little Oscars are awarded to Adrian or Natalie. As for film critics, well, this has nothing to do with their profession, so there's no need to worry about it.

Adrian also ignored it, which might make him a little passive in public opinion, but it really didn't do much. If you're the owner of a movie company, or just a producer or something, you might have a problem with that, but don't forget, he's a media tycoon.

So these tricks can only work half as well as usual, and they've all come to this point, and there's nothing he's prepared for, and nobody's going to stop him.

“Everything has come to an end, and all we have to do now is wait in peace, dear Nada.” Adrian caressed the * * in his arms and said so in a playful tone.

Natalie, with her eyes half-closed, made a few pointless sounds and immersed herself in the aftermath, naturally unable to hear the teasing smell of his words. Adrian didn't say much, either, and lowered her head and kissed her on that not very soft, then pulled her hands up and down again.

Of course, in sum, there is actually one more thing that needs to be done, which is not easy, but it is not impossible.

Boom! Shots fired, a black-tailed deer fell in the bushes in the distance.

“Yes!” Adrian, dressed in a wild hunting costume, put down his shotgun, shook his hand and waved hard in the air, and his face did reveal an excitement. Then he made a gesture to get the deer back.

“I have to say, well done, Ed, but it's only three forks, and if it's five forks, it's perfect.” John in the same hunting costume? Campbell, put his hand in front of his eyes and said a sad word from afar.

Bending over high, low and undulating hills, at a glance, large bushes beneath tall oak trees give life to the surrounding area, the San Antonio Valley Nature Reserve in southern California, some of the most famous hunting destinations on the west coast, where many people come to hunt wild deer from October to January of the following year. But Adrian and Campbell are now in the east, and not many people have been there, because it's not open to the public, of course, for big people like Adrian. That's not a problem.

“It's okay, I've found the feeling that from now on, this is no longer your exclusive session.” Adrian remarked proudly, getting the shotgun loaded.

“Really?” Campbell laughed, "I admit you're good at shooting, Ed, but not just shooting prey. You have to be patient and resilient, plus a little luck. ”

He said that he had a little eye for the distant, belonged to his prey, almost three wild deer, pretty good harvest.

“Good shooting is the foundation," Adrian smiled, “just like the movie wanted to win, although the decisive factor is in all aspects, quality is always the foundation, and there is no foundation. Everything is just a phantom. ”

Campbell didn't catch the cavity, checked his shotgun and walked forward: "I hope to hit a boar. Here it is.”

Adrian didn't care, so he followed and continued: "You know, guns, cars, they're all men's favorites, and I'm no exception, and I'm a member of several top gun clubs, in addition to collecting cars. Playing with a lot of famous firearms may not be the best, but it's enough for me to harvest my prey after getting used to it. And..."

He laughed profoundly: "I've always had good luck. ”

Campbell still didn't answer, took a long way to the raised hills, raised his telescope, looked and shook his head, which turned to Adrian and sighed: “What more do you want, Ed? Your purpose has been achieved, I can reveal a little bit of news. There is more controversy within the Academy for Pianist. You just need to push a little bit to get what you want and accomplish what nobody else has done. ”

It was clear to him that Adrian invited himself out hunting, or hunting in the San Antonio Valley Nature Reserve, not just for hunting.

“Of course," replied Adrian, similarly with a shotgun behind him, in a relaxed tone, "I've been preparing for so long, not to fail, but —— don't you think Out of Control is a good movie? Don't you think Natalie's acting at the highest level of her acting career? ”

“Oh?” Campbell picked his eyebrows and revealed an intriguing glimpse, "Looks like you really like that girl, Ed. ”

“Natalie is a great actor and I think she deserves her reward.” Adrian doesn't move his mind.

“No, no, no, no, Ed,” Campbell shook her head, "even ten years ago, she couldn't have, and you should know that perhaps the college would have liked to see the first Cicada actress show up, but definitely not a young woman like her. ”

“But she's a great template, the one Hollywood wants most.” Adrian said softly, "This helps raise the profile of Hollywood and the film industry as a whole. ”

“I know what you mean, countless young people who graduate from high school every year, or don't even have a high school degree, want to come here for a job, to look for a chance to become famous, but only a handful of them can show up in movies and TV shows, and then a handful of them can get official roles, and a handful of them can become famous, and most of them end up just...” Speaking of which, Campbell shrugged, “So in the eyes of the public, or conservatives, Hollywood is a land of paper drunkenness, and the stars are shallows who don't even have a higher education, and there are bad girls. ”

He paused and looked at Adrian: “Yes, it's a problem. Although Dante said to let others talk on his own path, we all know that image is important, especially for a huge entity, but--”

Campbell turned his head: "Why choose Natalie when a highly educated star doesn't have one? ”

“It's not just a matter of high education, John,” Adrian still looks like a light cloud, "in my opinion, the template we need should be: smart, highly educated, classy, acting, not so pretty that it's easy to overlook other aspects, but also attractive. So, she should be from a child star, not too red fire, but must be controversial; secondly, she should not be too pretty, but must have character and character; again, she should have a high degree, preferably an Ivy League graduate; and lastly. She has played a role that shows both the feminine and the feminine. ”

Campbell looked surprised for a few seconds and laughed: “I have to say again, Ed, it seems you really like the girl, it's so... it took so much work. You weren't ready over a decade ago, were you? ”

“You think I'm talking about Natalie?” Who knew Adrian had picked an eyebrow and laughed with a big smile, “No, no, no, no, John, no! ”

He's got his mouth up high and his cunning insight: “I said no, I said no, I said —— Judy? Foster!”

Yeah, as one of Hollywood's greatest female stars, Judy? Foster fits exactly what Adrian said. She started her career as an advertising model when she was 3 years old. The famous character was Scorsese's daughter-in-law from Taxi Driver in 1976, which made her the most popular child star of the day. It was so controversial that a few years later someone assassinated the President for her.

And then she went into Yale, about Tony, the black woman writer? Morrison's thesis also gave her considerable professional attention. After the assassination, there were a few ups and downs, but many believed that if Pear Blossom and Silent Lamb were to continue, perhaps she would already be the first actress after the Cicada Oscars.

And precisely because of the two films. Making Foster a strong female spokesperson, coupled with his own independence, is a unique landscape in Hollywood. So even if she's not that standard pretty woman. The face also looks like some, but it's really very appealing.

Of course, Natalie fully meets these requirements, so Campbell doesn't have to think about it. But he wasn't particularly surprised when he got Adrian's answer, but he kept his silence, holding up his telescope from time to time, searching around for prey, and Adrian was not in a hurry and was very patient.

“Know why Judy? Foster?” A long time later, Campbell finally asked and gave the answer without waiting for Adrian to answer, "because she was gay. ”

Adrian opened his mouth and didn't say anything, which is a real problem, and in fact, when he said that earlier, he deliberately ignored an important condition.

The birth of a child star indicates that the Hollywood star mechanism is sound, not every child star will end up corrupting and then overwhelming; a high degree of education indicates that not all Hollywood stars are shallow and ignorant; not a beautiful and full temperament indicates that Hollywood is not a man of appearance; and just the right way to show a woman's weakness and strength through a role can make a woman star appear in line with the mainstream of society.

Beyond that, there is not enough gossip to show the cleanliness of the stars. Judy Foster, as a lesbian, had a very low profile in her private life, and the paparazzi had never been all-powerful, not to mention she was still favored by the Academy of Films, one of Hollywood's images, so even though countless people suspected her of being gay, there was no exact proof that she was always a strong female representative of Hollywood.

Although Natalie's other conditions were met, basically everyone was able to determine her relationship with the miracle director after The Out of Control, and no matter how concealed, Adrian was someone that everyone already saw.

Of course, Adrian, having chosen to lobby Campbell to help, was sure that all aspects of the situation had been considered, so he quickly said again: "This is an advantage for Foster, but in many cases, it can also be an advantage. You know how many events Glad has held in the last two years, right? With two states already allowing homosexuals to marry, and more states passing similar laws in the future, even without the Broken Back Mountain, more homosexuals would dare to reveal their sexual orientation to the public, and Foster would certainly be one of them. ”

As I said a long time ago, the United States as a whole is a conservative country. Don't look at the fact that homosexual organizations are now in the heat of various movements and remain marginalized in the overall social environment, although discrimination is not evident. In this case, it doesn't matter if Foster keeps his low profile, but once his sexual orientation is revealed, even if everyone knows that the negative effects won't be much lower than Natalie and the miracle director.

“Some things are actually well settled, and as a normal female star, it's impossible not to snitch, as long as you can keep it within acceptable limits. Sooner or later, Foster will be replaced, and there will be more than one Hollywood template, so why can't Natalie fill this vacancy?” Adrian continued.

But Campbell seemed deaf, and he held up his hunting rifle and focused his aim, and from a distance, a wild deer was burying something between the two oaks from time to time.

Adrian didn't pay attention to his attitude, which was normal. After all, he did have some demands, and the awards he received earlier put a lot of pressure on the Film Academy. Unfortunately, Adrian didn't fight unprepared wars, and he didn't have a killer.

“And," he said again, looking in the direction Campbell was aiming, "Natalie wasn't without an edge, and besides my support, she had a place no one could compare. ”

Adrian raised his mouth again and revealed that insightful cunning again: "She is from Jerusalem! ”
