King of Hollywood Chapter 238: His Royal Highness Queen
"Anyway, congratulations, Jane, you directed a very good movie." In the middle of the spacious living room, Adrian raised Jane Campion’s cup in his hand, "At the same time, I also congratulate Harvey and Holly for winning the best actor and actress in Venice, especially Harvey. They don’t have the kind of unhurried feeling of Mr. Wolf in "Pulp Fiction". I didn’t recognize it when I first saw it. Can't help asking Jane: Hey, you got it from that Maori tribe."
A few people around suddenly burst into laughter, attracting people standing in their place to talk to each other.
"Thank you, Ed. Without your support, I don't know when it will be completed until the film is completed." Campion said with emotion.
"Don’t say that, Jane, I just met at the meeting, and good movies will never lack investors. Even without me, someone will support you to make this movie." Adrian said modestly, and thought of it again What: "Oh, if your manuscript is ready, I can take it back when I go back to Los Angeles, so that it can be published at the same time as "The Piano" is officially released."
"No problem, I will let you bring it to you later." Campion nodded in excitement, as if she was a teenager young.
This is the advantage of having a publishing company. At first, Campion was able to persuade, and novelizing and publishing movies was also one of the factors.
After a few more chats, Adrian casually found an excuse to leave the crowd. Although Campion’s party is held in his apartment in Sydney, there are many people invited to come, so they all stand or sit very closely. Adrian can’t find a quiet corner.
Finally, I took a left and right look. After the men and women on the balcony left, he walked past Shi Shiran. Sydney is brightly lit at night, and Campion’s apartment location is well chosen. Since you can see the gorgeous night view and the charming sea view, the sea breeze gently blows your face, and you can still smell a bit fishy. Adrian stretched out his arms and sturdily stretched a lazy waist, breathing hard again, but still yawned.
He arrived in Sydney yesterday. Los Angeles to Sydney is one of the longest non-stop routes in the world. He has to fly at least 6 time zones and a daily line. Such a long flight time cannot be adjusted by only 24 hours, so he has always been a bit uncomfortable, plus he has to deal with Campion and others, even if Adrian is known for being energetic, it still inevitably feels a trace Silk fatigue.
Frankly speaking, he doesn't really like female directors, especially female directors who make literary films. This is not to say that he has sexism, but women are always mixed with too much sensibility when directing. This kind of thing will be very attractive if used properly, but it will be very hypocritical and awkward once it is excessive.
In Adrian's view, if a female director really wants to exercise her abilities, it would be better to direct two more action movies and grasp the balance between reason and emotion. Although Renee Starr made many films for the Nazis, the grasp of this balance is not comparable to these female directors now.
In spite of this, there are still many people who like this hypocritical style. They think this is the style that female directors should have. Well, this has nothing to do with Adrian, as long as "The Piano" can add a piece to his record, he will not care what is hypocritical.
In this way, "The Piano" can be scheduled to be released first, and winning the Venice Golden Lion Award is also a publicity stunt. Adrian was looking at the shadowy high-rise buildings in his mind. Then the sound of the door opening came from the side, and a tall and graceful figure immediately walked to the balcony, his hands resting on the stage and sighed softly.
She immediately noticed that there were others on the balcony. After a little surprise, she showed an apologetic expression.
"I'm sorry, I thought no one was here." The girl said with a smile, she was wearing a white turtleneck sweater, below are denim trousers and high-heeled leather boots, the facial features are angular but with a kind of female talent There is a sense of softness. The light in the room is transmitted and hits the face, which is bright and dark, which makes her particularly beautiful for the light blue eyes.
She is not so beautiful, but she has an indescribable temperament. Just when the sea breeze blew, she reached out and brushed her hair that was blown up, which seemed very tasteful.
"It's okay," Adrian gracefully spread his hand, "I want to be quiet for a while, so I came to the balcony. It's very good, suitable for quiet thinking, the only regret is a little... a little cold ."
The girl could not help but chuckled lightly: "Of course you will feel cold when you wear so little."
"There is no way to go in a hurry, and I forgot to bring my clothes," Adrian complained. "It's summer in Los Angeles."
"You are from Los Angeles?" The girl showed a curious look.
"Yes, Jane's film was invested and distributed by me. This time I won the Golden Lion Award at the Venice Film Festival. Of course I have to come here to congratulate." Adrian said with a gesture.
"So you are the one..." The girl looked up and didn't think of it for a long time, and finally had to smile and looked at Adrian: "Sorry, I should have remembered it, I heard it when I came."
"It doesn't matter," Adrian shook his head indifferently, and then reached out his hand, "Adrian? Kewell, nice to meet you, you can call me Adrian or Ed."
"Catherine? Alice Blanchett, please call me Cate." The girl shook hands with him immediately, "I am also very happy to meet you, Ed."
Although it has been confirmed in my heart, after hearing this name, Adrian couldn't help but admire it in my heart.
"I believe there are already many people, especially men who have said this to you, but I still have to repeat it. You are beautiful, Cate." The corners of Adrian's mouth slightly curled up, creating a beautiful arc .
"Pretty?" Blanchett sighed suddenly. "Unfortunately, most people don't think so. They always say that my facial features are too hard. Sometimes they are more like a man. A lot of distance."
Even the future "Queen" is still a young woman with a little bit of greenness and unconfidence. Adrian felt a little emotion in her heart and became more interested in her.
"I think you might have misunderstood something, Cate," Adrian said in a casual manner. "The ‘ful’ in your mouth should be exactly the meaning of ‘pretty’?”
"Is there any difference?" Blanchett looked at Adrian in doubt.
"Of course, the former is a feeling, while the latter is just a description, a description of appearance." Adrian's dark eyes looked at Blanchett without blinking, "I heard a word, Cate , I think this sentence is right, there are only lazy women and no ugly women in the world."
He did not conceal the appreciation in his eyes: "Yes, whether a woman is beautiful depends first on whether she will dress herself, if she will wear makeup, she will show herself, but if these do not match his temperament, they even contradict If so, is this woman still beautiful? Beauty is a feeling. This feeling does not only come from appearance and temperament. Although we only met for a few minutes, we don’t know each other, but your temperament is quite. Not bad..."
Speaking of this, Adrian suddenly closed his mouth and stared at Blanchett for a few minutes before laughing again: "Have you had any acting experience, Cate?"
"What?" Blanchett was confused, not understanding why he suddenly jumped the subject so far.
"Since you are participating in Jane's celebration party, even if you are not an actor, you should have a relationship with the actor, right?" Adrian asked, touching his chin.
"Well...in fact, a friend of mine invited me to come, she is a photographer." Blanchett shrugged.
"Really?" Adrian looked at him in amazement.
"Of course-not" a sly look flashed in the eyes of the girl, "In fact, I only went to the Australian National School of Art and Drama last year, and I have performed many dramas, especially Shakespeare's dramas."
"Great, it seems that my premonition is correct," Adrian exaggerated a bit, and followed his eyes to become eager, "There is a role for you, Cate, maybe you are willing to participate in the audition?"
"Character?" Blanchett blinked in surprise. "You mean... acting in a movie?"
"Yes, yes," Adrian nodded. "Would you like to try it? This script has already been handed, but there has been no suitable candidate. The actor was decided not long ago, but The heroine is still unsure."
"You don't think...you don't feel..." Blanchett gestured, seeming to want to laugh but sometimes don't know how to laugh, "I mean, we only met for a few minutes, and then you suddenly Inviting me to participate in a movie audition, this is really a little..."
"I know this is a little abrupt, but please believe me, you have that kind of temperament, that kind of strong, a little cool, a little weak, and a very independent temperament, which is very suitable for the needs." Adrian Tongcan Lotus Said, "At least take part in the audition?"
"Um... well, I want to say I am honored, but..." Blanchett was somewhat helpless. She chuckled and followed with a distressed look.
At this time~IndoMTL.com~ Jane Campion appeared at the balcony entrance: "So you are here, Ed, Sam is finally here..."
"You came just right, Jane, help me quickly." Before she finished, Adrian pulled her to the balcony, and then introduced Blanchett: "This is Cate, Cate? Blanchett. Special."
"Hello, Cate." Campion reached out his hand.
"Hello, Ms. Campion, I like your movie very much, whether it is "Sweet Sister" or "Angel and Me at the Table", it is very good." Blanchett said with a little excitement.
"Very well, now you all know, then," Adrian coughed dryly, "Now I want to invite Cate to audition for a movie, I think she is very suitable, but she is hesitant, so I hope you Can help me persuade her"
"Ha, some people are hesitant to invite the director to audition." Campion looked at Blanchett with some surprise.
"Big Director?" The girl looked at Campion and puzzled at Adrian.
"Don’t tell me, you don’t know who he is, dear." ()
