King of Hollywood Chapter 102: No need to worry

>There are a lot of eye-catching entertainment news from the end of August to the beginning of September 2001, but the most eye-catching ones are not the ones revealed by "American Weekly" because they appeared in the movie version of "Tomb Raider" Laura Crawford and Cate who became a popular female star in Hollywood? Beckinsale had a five-year-old daughter.

In the eyes of most Hollywood entertainment reporters, Cate from the UK? Beckinsale is a rather ups and downs actress. As early as the early 1990s, she began to appear in the role of the film, and even once served The protagonist of the super-selling commercial blockbuster "Twister", unfortunately the most eye-catching protagonist of this movie is Twister, so although her performance is not bad, she still failed to take off.

In the following years, she felt a little disappeared, flashing like a meteor like most actresses, and then no longer asked. However, at the end of the century, she gained a lot of popularity through "Serendipity" and "Agent Belle", and truly became a first-line actress, and the title of the British rose fell on her again. Immediately afterwards, she was nominated for Best Supporting Actress by "The Cider House Rules". It seemed to be a bit like acting and idols. Even though some people criticized her for being a vase, she couldn't make much of a storm.

Then this year, the movie version of "Tomb Raider" was born under the expectations of countless game fans. The wonderful and exquisite movements and fairly excellent plot design have made this movie adapted from the game a lot of people. It's sought after, and also topped the North American box office list, although only for a week. But as far as a game adaptation film is concerned, this result is already quite good.

Cate? Beckinsale is also hailed as the most tasteful Laura Croft, or the actress closest to Laura's temperament, maybe not all game fans agree. But most people think so. As for those non-gaming fans, Cate's sturdy skills and good plots have also won a lot of support, so her popularity has suddenly risen several steps, and she can almost be among the popular female stars.

Under such circumstances, "American Weekly" published photos of her and her daughter, one can imagine how much sensation it would cause. There are almost a dozen of these photos, basically Cate and her daughter, accompanied by play. There are those who accompany the meal and those who visit the store. They clearly show the intimate feelings between mother and daughter. No matter who reads it, they will not think that this is a child of another family. Even Cate made a brief statement through the agent after the photo was published. The child in the photo is indeed his own daughter. I hope you will not disturb her, but I haven't mentioned anything to her daughter's father.

If it is just that, the sensation, although sensational, will not become the most concerned entertainment gossip. just. Almost 90% of people have thought of a shadow behind her for the first time about who the father of the child is after reading the report. The report on "The First Miracle Girl" published by "The Sun" after it was released on "Tomb Raider" is now well known. Someone with good deeds also proved early that Cate? Beckinsale did appear in "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels", "Memento" and "Howard Estate".

Think about the consistent style of Adrian. Think of his **** name, think of him and his wonder girls. Although he made his debut in Hollywood back then, when Julia was photographed dating him, he had just started not long before. Who can be sure that something has not happened? And the little girl in the picture is almost five or six years old, then it should be pregnant and born between 1994 and 95, which coincides with the low tide of Cate, probably because it is pregnant It was only temporarily out of public view, and more importantly, the shadows of Director Miracle were indispensable behind the several films that brought her back to life. According to unconfirmed news, the script creativity came from him.

Once this inference is established, it will be a huge piece of news. Unfortunately, no one dared to prove it, and even did not even openly question it. It's a bit tumultuous on the Internet, but most entertainment reporters choose to ignore it, and at most vaguely suggest in the report.

The current Adrian is not the Adrian a few years ago. As the chairman of the board of the world’s largest media group, it’s too simple to make someone who irritates himself. No reporter would be a fool. Even those gossip reporters who write about all kinds of gossip with little or no credibility are unavoidable when they write this.

It’s not that there are no reporters who want to make side effects from other angles. But after Cate? Beckinsale issued a statement, he basically didn’t accept reporters except for a little talk about his daughter in a subsequent TV show. Visit in this regard. As for the miracle director, he is busy shooting the two episodes of "The Matrix" complained by countless fans in the studio, how could it give reporters a chance.

"We can use two cameras, one from this angle to this angle, and the other from that angle to that angle, so that the effect you want comes out." In the studio, the technical staff is working Explain to Adrian how to use the camera to realize the scene in his mind.

"The stability is not enough." After carefully sketching it in his mind, Adrian shook his head. "If it's too elegant, it won't look good to fight."

Thinking for a few minutes, he photographed the technician’s shoulder: “Don’t worry, I will let the martial arts instructor think about it.”

Yuan Heping is explaining the actions for the two main speeches on the other side. What I’m shooting today is the action scene where the savior had a fight with the guardian of the protection of the prophet before entering the matrix to see the prophet. This action drama should not only look good but also reflect the unrealistic sense of elegance of the matrix, but it can't be too elegant as the original version, otherwise it will give people a very strange feeling, so both shooting and action With high requirements, Adrian is thinking again and again.

"I am very interested today, Yuan Ba ​​Ye." There is still a distance, Adrian greeted in Chinese.

"Yo, the big boss is here." Yuan Heping, who was punching, immediately closed the action and smiled back. Although he is not very clear about the status of Adrian in Hollywood. But he also knows that it is a great big man. It can be said by such a big man that Yuan Ba ​​Ye, even if it is a joke, is enough to make him proud.

Although Yuan Heping served as the martial arts director of The Matrix. But basically did not personally guide the action, all are disciples. However, it is rare to see old friends in the United States, and it was still Jeter Lee who had worked very happily with him in Hong Kong. I couldn’t help but be happy to do it myself.

"How is it?" After saying hello to Reeves and Jet? Lee, Adrian detailed what he wanted and Yuan Ba ​​Ye, and then asked.

"This... is really not easy to handle, to be honest, it has to be quite elegant. It has to be quite heavy, which is too contradictory." The old man said in a strong Cantonese accented Mandarin, and turned around twice in the same place. , He looked at Jeter Lee: "Ajie. Do you have any good solutions?"

Wearing a Tang suit, Jack Lee has been listening carefully after taking off his sunglasses. Although his skills are not bad, and he has cooperated with Yuan Heping countless times, he just shook his head at the moment.

But the next second he suddenly clapped his hands: "Yes, maybe it can be like this!"

Immediately. Jet Li and Yuan Heping discussed, a series of professional terms emerged from their words, and the incomprehensible Adrian could only shrug and wait for the result. In the previous life, he did not have the experience of directing Kung Fu movies, even if he directed. It may not be possible to get the best martial arts instruction.

They didn't spend much time, and they discussed and made gestures. Adrian looked at it and saw some taste. Although the two people's move is very common and slow. But if it is combined with the shooting method, it should achieve the desired effect. I have to say that there are indeed two people who are one of the best martial arts coaches here.

Now that the action has been determined, it took some effort to take a rough test shot, and the rest is to practice with the two leading actors. Needless to say, Jet Lee was born in a Kung Fu movie and was involved in action instruction. This is not difficult at all, but Reeves also did something very quickly. It's no wonder that he had been training for several months, but he didn't completely drop it after the first part. Recently, he had rehabilitative training and he was in good condition.

However, because he does not understand Chinese, Adrian always stood beside him with a smirk while communicating with Yuan Ba ​​Ye and Jet Li.

"Very good, take a break now." After repeating the first two paragraphs repeatedly, Adrian and Yuan Heping exchanged their opinions and announced it.

Although the shooting time of these two scenes is slightly longer, the effect is in place. Adrian is very satisfied, and encouragement and praise are inevitable.

"It's a lucky thing to have you attend, Ajie-can I call you that?" He asked Jet Li with a smile.

"Of course." Who's Jeter? Lee nodded immediately, "This is what I should do, thank you very much for bringing me to Hollywood, Adrian."

His tone is quite sincere, and he looks very respectful. Also, when he was squeezed again and again and would only get a chance to enter Hollywood, Adrian reached out his helping hand, which was quite Respect gave a $3 million paycheck. Subsequently, "The Expendables" achieved great success. Although he played a supporting role, he became famous in Hollywood, and various filmmakers came to the door. Last year, a movie starring him was released.

As a Buddhist, it is a virtue to show gratitude, not to mention the grace of knowledge encounters, so I agreed to the invitation of Adrian early. When I needed it, I immediately put down the things in my hand and rushed over.

"Shall I give you a piece of advice?" After a few more chats, Adrian suddenly asked.

Jett? Li Weiwei was a little surprised, but still made a gesture.

"I watched the movie you starred in last year. I don’t comment on the plot. It still has your style in terms of action effects, so the box office is not bad," Adrian looked at him. "But, far Not as good as "Rush Hour", even "Rush Hour 2" released this year."

He frowned slightly, but said nothing.

"Find a partner, Ajie, even black, Indian, and Mexican," Adrian looked at him sincerely. "This is Hollywood. Potential discrimination is everywhere. You may be able to completely I win a glance on my own, but after two or three times the popularity declines faster than you think. Jack? Chen is smarter than you in this respect, and it is hoped that the "Western Veyron" released at the end of this year will be with Owen Wilson. Starring together."

"Thank you, Adrian, thank you for your reminder." After a moment of silence, Jet Li finally said, "But I don't plan to do this."

He smiled: "I just want the world to learn about Chinese Kung Fu and let the world see the capabilities of the Chinese."

This answer made Adrian raise an eyebrow, both as expected and unexpected. After all, it came out of the mainland, and it was somewhat arrogant. Otherwise, I would not have invested in a film like "Chinese Hero" at the time, and I was interrupted by three ribs during the filming. unfortunately. People always have to bow their heads to reality, even if Jack Chen used the method of partnering with the Americans to maintain his popularity in Hollywood for a long time, let alone Jeter Lee, who plays the protagonist. I don't know if he will have such a trace of regret after five or six years.

"Okay, since you have said so. I will not mention it again, but no matter where you go in the future, the position in "The Expendables" will always be reserved for you." Adrian didn’t say much, just Patted his shoulder. This was his choice, and it was benevolent to do it on his own.

A few more words, Adrian walked away to prepare for the next shoot, as long as Jet Li and Reeves can maintain their current state. This fight will end soon, but then there is a battle between the savior and more than 100 Smiths. It requires careful control.

"I looked at the schedule. Are you worried about arranging the plot so late?" The joking voice came from the side. Monica, in a black tight leather jacket, came over immediately.

Although there is no part of her scene here, there are some minor scenes directed by the assistant director in the studio next door, such as the party of the captains in the matrix. If you want to shoot completely in four months, you have to find a way. It's better to improve efficiency, so Monica can come over and see at any time. After giving birth, she recovered quite well, the body curve is still so tempting, coupled with the familiar temperament, just now the seemingly non-smiling appearance has enough temptation.

"You know, I always think that self-direction and self-direction have an influence on the director. It is best to use live props in your own movies like Hitchcock, but to play a role of weight, Still have to make some preparations." Adrian shrugged, and then changed the subject before Monica spoke: "Oh, what about Deva? Didn't you bring her to the studio today?"

"Now I dare to bring her out in this situation?" Monica immediately gave him an angry look.

Because of Cate and Lily, almost all the miracle girls have been paid attention. Blanchett is relatively low-key, but Monica and Sophie have heard rumors of having children before, so They all began to be cautious, and even after getting the best actress and wishing to have a baby, Julia temporarily slowed down.

"But it's just some reporters, don't worry about it. If you are worried, you can take her to another city to play." Adrian doesn't care.

Basically, the heads of several major media groups are more or less aware of his affairs, so he doesn’t worry that the reporter will do too much. In his current capacity, if someone takes children, If you attack him arbitrarily, whether deliberately or unintentionally, you are declaring war on the media. No matter who it is, Murdoch or Eisner are not so stupid, and if Zhang Zhang’s good card against Adrian is hurriedly played out, it may well outweigh the gains.

Their concerns are correct because Adrian holds more than one card in his hand.

"Relax, my dear, this trend will soon pass." He then comforted again.

Compared with Cate, Monica is more blind to Adrian. Naturally, she doesn’t think much like Cate. After being so comforted, he didn’t say anything.

What a pity. Looking at the back of Monica leaving, Adrian couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

When I thought about Cate's gritted teeth about Ivanka, he couldn't help but want to laugh. After finally flying two secrets in the office that day, because he was going to accompany Lily, he simply took them back. Naturally, the evening continues, but I don’t know what the purpose is. Charlitz coaxed Cate. For Cate, who can only accept Sarah and Charlize at the most, what a big shock this is, so I only declared that day.

But in Adrian's view~IndoMTL.com~ she's just pretending to be pretending to know that Cate is quite excited when she presses Ivanka on the bed and plays with it. Ivanka is coming in sooner or later.

So when I contacted Monica and Sophie again, Adrian had to sigh. If the stupid woman Penelope did not feel dizzy and did such a stupid thing, she might be able to play with the three European allies.

Of course, regret, regret, Adrian did not really mind. Just another thing immediately came to mind. DP has already received 5 million investment to start shooting the adult version of "Tomb Raider", the **** queen also promised to star in, the plot naturally follows the "Once" original version, and various types of melee scenes are indispensable. Of course, she alone is not enough, so there is a DP newcomer also joined them. The Spanish girl Blanca Baden from Europe, there is no doubt that this is a stage name, and her original name is called Monica Cruz.

This is just a little interest.

Although most of the time is spent on the filming of "The Matrix", it does not mean that Adrian will not participate in any activities. On the evening of September 6, he appeared outside the Metropolitan Opera House at Lincoln Center in New York. On the red carpet, attended this year's MTV Awards ceremony. (To be continued...)
