"There is no doubt that there will be differences. After all, the three novels of "The Lord of the Rings" have thousands of pages, and a movie can only be up to 180 minutes. I can’t show everything in detail. Of course. , I have tried my best to consider the requirements of book fans. Those most classic passages have reservations. Although some of the plots are somewhat contradictory to the original, they have not affected the overall perception." Adrian did not accidentally talk to the reporter on the red carpet. .

This is a must. As a director and a producer, when making commercial blockbusters, he almost never follows the crew’s propaganda. When he walks on the red carpet to attend the premiere, he always boasted to the reporter. Should it?

"You mean, do you think you have perfected your original work?" someone asked, with a trap.

"I rarely use the word perfect, be aware that it’s not that gorgeous words are used as much as possible. If every movie is said to be perfect, then the word perfect is too cheap," said Here Adrian smiled slyly, "But I always try my best to complete it, as we have always advocated, the process is always more important than the result."

At this time, a burst of cheers and screams came from the entrance of the red carpet, so huge that the reporters here couldn't help turning their heads to see, and Adrian did the same.

Three women with different styles appeared in front of everyone, with long blond hair and a beige dress on the far right, very elegant. The middle point is a big golden wave, and the black tube top dress enhances her temperament. On the far left is black long straight hair and a white sleeveless narrow tube skirt makes her like a big girl. Originally a very beautiful woman, she appeared together again at this moment, and the dazzling males were present, so it is no wonder that there are so many screams. The most interesting thing is that from right to left. Blonde hair, blonde hair blue eyes, blue eyes black hair, all the way through, giving a very strange feeling.

"Look at who is coming, Queen Kailantriel, and Princess Amin and Queen Iowyn." When the three of them nodded to and greeted each other, the Adrian was slightly jokingly tall Shouted.

Although Gwyneth’s character will not appear in the first part, the role of Iowyn was well known when the film was promoted, and she participated in the film premiere as a starring role. No problem.

"Hi. Ed, I'm so happy to see you." Blanchett stepped forward and smiled and hugged Adrian in front of the reporter. Her figure recovered quite well.

Although Gwyneth raised her eyebrows indifferently, she didn’t let others see them, and then she and Adrian lightly embraced them like Blanchett. Liv Tyler doesn't care about anything, and doesn't care about anything. There are all sorts of joys and joys.

The reporter pressed the shutter excitedly beside him, and the clicking sound continued, as long as it was posted in the form of a photo, it would be enough to attract the eye without text. They are all miracle girls. And they were nominated for the best actress at the 71st Oscar. The two films were produced and directed by Adrian. They were also filmed in the UK at the same time. The relationship between the two of them seems to be very good. They are often photographed together for shopping, so many People secretly speculate whether they often go to bed with Director Miracle together.

Next, Adrian made a more amazing move. He actually appeared in front of so many reporters. He stretched out his arms and embraced Gwyneth and Blanchett's waist. Well, many directors will hold the heroine in their works and let reporters take pictures, but the problem is that the scandal between Miracle Director and Miracle Girls is well-known, but it is because his power has not been heated up. In this case, it was actually such an intimate appearance in public, and there are rumors of flying together with Blanchett and Gwyneth, so it is not that there is nothing between each other. That is, he has nothing to fear.

Of course, everyone knows that the possibility of the former is basically negligible. The private title of Playboy in Adrian is not in vain. But what does that have to do with them? As entertainment reporters, isn't that what they want? The people around pressed the shutter even more frantically. Moreover, Blanchett and Gwyneth are still very cooperative. Both women leaned back and raised their bodies. Although they did not put their hands on the shoulders of Adrian, they looked like they were leaning on his hands. Intimate and ambiguous. The flash suddenly flashed faster.

But this is not yet to the limit. Soon, Blanchett left the arm of the Adrian and the Liv Tyler next to it was replaced. After a click, Gwyneth left on the other side. Changed to Blanchett. The reporters took a long breath, and it seems that even Liv Tyler? Taylor, the sweet and lovely girl, did not escape the playboy's palm, and looked at the intimate appearance, it may even be possible...

The crowd started to commotion, and Adrian laughed, waved and led the three girls to the theater. The reporter who had been pressing the shutter just remembered that he had forgotten to ask a question, but when he wanted to make up, they had already walked far away, and in desperation and regret, they had to pick up the camera and shoot again.

"It's amazing, you guys came together." Adrian smiled and said to the three girls beside him after entering the lobby.

"Remember what I said, he likes that." Blanchett lifted his chin to the other two, then hummed softly at Adrian.

"But it's quite interesting." Gwyneth said with a smile.

"Yes, yes." Liv Tyler nodded in a hurry, and his eyes seemed to be very happy.

"Since this is the case, why don't we continue to study the story between Sauron and Kylantriel, Iowyn, and Arwen tonight?" Adrian raised an eyebrow.

The three beautiful girls gave him white eyes in unison, and then scattered away. Well, Gwyneth was going to go a little later at night, because--

"Will you come next week?" she asked, looking into his eyes.

"Of course, how could I be absent." Adrian knew what she was thinking, "Don't worry, I won't tell your father what makes him unhappy."

Old Paltrow has always disliked Adrian, especially since he and his wife are both in the entertainment industry and know more about certain things. shu. But the problem is that Gwyneth doesn't listen to his advice and wants to stay with Adrian, if it is someone else. In terms of how much his connections can give the other party some color, but Adrian is not a big man he can offend, and Gwyneth’s achievements in recent years are almost the sum of his and his wife’s past, so it can only be the default Down.

However, although the default is the default, every time I see Adrian, I can’t help but say a few uncomfortable words, just understand that his Adrian never smiles to argue. Gwyneth also knows, but she still hopes that Adrian can get along well with her father, and next week "Beautiful Mind" will hold the premiere, each daughter will hit the premiere of the Oscar movie, Old Paltrow will participate. So Gwyneth had to pray for Adrian soft words, and Adrian naturally calmed down.

Not mentioning this for the time being. The guests who came to the premiere of "The Lord of the Rings" are not much less than "X-Men". Peter Jackson and his friend, two brothers of Silver Phoenix, are responsible for the dubbing. Hans Zimmer etc.

Yes, the soundtrack of "The Lord of the Rings" was handed over to Hans Zimmer, a well-known, but hardly recognized master of soundtrack by Oscar. As early as in the production of "Dragon Island", Adrian first started to be strong, without giving DreamWorks a chance to dig him up as the music director of Bosworth. Later, he acquired Universal, and after the integration, he became the music director of Universal.

Although I have watched countless movies and listened to countless soundtracks in my previous life, whether it is John Williams or James Horner or Enio Morricone, I like them all, but I wonder why Hans is the most favorite? Zimmer, probably because his soundtrack always circulated. So Adrian dug him early and made him the soundtrack of "The Lord of the Rings" in order to make him dream of an Oscar.

Of course. To this end, he spent a lot of energy discussing the above. The main points about the soundtrack of "The Lord of the Rings" are more often disputed with Zimmer. The original ethereal style is indeed in place, so he hopes that Zimmer will also consider the soundtrack. this point. But Jimmer has his own ideas. Although the soundtrack has to meet the requirements of the director or producer, there is no inspiration from his heart. The soundtrack will only seem very empty, so every time Adrian goes to his studio to discuss the soundtrack, he can never stop talking for hours.

"At the end, many people complained to me, so I had to arrange every negotiation after work." Ji Mo said that he couldn't help but sigh, and then everyone around laughed out loud. Anyone who has worked with Adrian knows that this state is too normal. Adrian can always control the controversy within a certain range, so that no matter how big the difference is, it will not be time and space. It is a pleasant thing to discuss the problem with him.

"Anyway, the soundtrack is beautiful, you are excellent. Hans." Adrian smiled and patted him on the shoulder.

Jimer is not a stubborn and unwilling person. He tries to keep as close as possible to the requirements of Adrian, and Adrian will often hum some good melody for his reference, so the final soundtrack is grand and light. Spirit and blood are basically everything, at least a bit higher than the original version, Jimmer is worthy of being a master musician.

"Okay, I'm waiting to hear tonight, where is Hans's soundtrack, can it really surpass James." After only two people left, James Cameron was a little bit unfair. Said.

"Come on, Jim, James is indeed an excellent soundtracker, but I think Zimmer is more suitable for the soundtrack of "The Lord of the Rings." Adrian laughed, and he only used "Jim" when he was renamed. This nickname.

Cameron is talking about James Horner, an old man he has worked with many times. Because the special effects of "The Lord of the Rings" are all produced in the digital field, the sharp-eyed Cameron recommends James Horner to Adrian As a soundtrack, I hope this old man will be able to take it to a higher level, but Adrian handed this job to Hans Zimmer.

"Don't care about this, Jim, let's talk about the things on your side, are the documentaries done?" Adrian changed the subject.

"Oh, don't worry so much, Ed," Cameron waved his hand. "There are still some later stages, don't worry, it will be completed before next year's Oscar."

"Really? Great, maybe I should persuade the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences to advance this year's Oscar to the end of February." Adrian said with a raised eyebrow.

"No problem, Ed." Cameron laughed. "As long as the film school really changes the date, I promise to complete it in advance."

"Okay," Adrian glared at him. "So I won't mention this for the time being, I don't have any idea about the digital field."

Cameron put a smile on his face and made a gesture of invitation. He was very serious. He always respected Adrian's right to speak in the digital field. Because in his view, Adrian saved the digital realm.

This special effects company was founded in 1993. The founder Scott Ross was the former general manager of Industrial Light and Magic. Later Cameron and his friend and co-partner Stan Winston added them and they became The original Iron Triangle. However, with the continuous development of special effects companies, the scale began to expand, and more and more funds were needed. So in 1996, Rose, who was in charge, pulled investment from Lehman Brothers.

If everything hasn’t changed, Lehman’s capital injection will cause another investment company, Cox Group, to covet the digital space, thus acquiring a 33% stake to control the special effects company. Let the Iron Triangle survive. Then Cameron and Winston will have a conflict with Ross under the leadership of the Cox Group because of "Titanic", and eventually withdraw from the board of directors in the digital field, and the digital field will take another path. Decline slowly without flexibility.

For this matter, Adrian still knows something. Although he doesn’t know exactly what happened, but there are many channels in this life for him to investigate, so when Rosra invested in 96. Although the media has only begun to take shape, and there are many places to spend money, it still took part of the funds and grabbed the 33% of the shares in front of the Kex Group.

As a result, the media has the absolute right to speak, and Cameron and Winston are more supportive of his support. So despite the production of "Titanic". The Rose who was in charge still had conflicts with Cameron and Winston, and was once in trouble, even threatening to resign. Later, Adrian came forward to adjust their contradictions.

"Remember what I promised Scott?" Adrian said with a smile, "After intelligence analysis and specific investigation, I have decided that I will set up an overseas studio."

"Overseas studio?" Cameron narrowed his eyes.

"Yes, most of the special effects of "The Lord of the Rings" this time are responsible for the talents Peter Jackson has found from New Zealand. You also admit that the guy has a lot of ideas on the special effects of the movie," Adrian He smiled and said, "It costs a lot cheaper, so setting up an overseas studio is very helpful."

After all. The difference between Ross, Cameron, and Winston is that the special effects for "Titanic" cost a lot, as he must consider a more comprehensive situation. The promise from Adrian to Ross is that he can solve this problem, but it only takes a little time, so the contradiction between the three people is settled down. Without the control of the Kex Group in the back, the foundation of the cooperation of the Iron Triangle is still relatively solid. Although the quarrel was fierce this time, it did not hurt each other’s feelings. So in Cameron’s eyes, Adrian saved the digital field.

"But..." Cameron hesitated.

"Relax, I did a survey, and remember what I said to you when I was in New Zealand? I said I plan to find Chinese people to make special effects, I am serious. We have cooperation with mainland China, their There are also a lot of CG special effects talents. Many people do not lose to special effects artists in the United States. They have low costs and excellent abilities. Why not?"

In the previous life, special effects companies after 2000 basically chose this path, setting up a large number of cheap overseas studios. The digital field is also because of the slow response on this, plus worrying about their own technology. People learned to go, and eventually went bankrupt under the name of the world's top special effects company. Adrian doesn't care about technology being learned. For movies, CG is always the icing on the cake. A good story is the most important. Both Chinese and American movies in previous lives have fully proved this point. If it was not for some reason, he had already started this step, but after 9/11, China and the United States once again entered the honeymoon period, so he will now mention it.

Adrian invested in the digital field not only because it wanted to help Cameron. With the development of the movie, the cheaper CG special effects are becoming more and more important. In the end, even in the window behind the street dialogue The activities of other people are synthesized, especially the large number of superhero movies, almost all of which are piled up by CG~IndoMTL.com~ So it is necessary to use a special effects company.

So the digital field has become the best choice. At least at the beginning of the 21st century, they are indeed strong, almost comparable to industrial light and magic. As for the problems, there is Adrian, which can definitely be avoided, and then I can take this opportunity to further win over Cameron and let him develop the 3D camera in his heart with peace of mind, although it will take 7 or 8 years for 3D movies to enter mainstream theaters. , But Adrian is used to preparing for the future.

"The production of CG has become cheaper and cheaper, but the labor cost is still high, so even if we don't do it, there are a lot of special effects studios. Why not start first?" Adrian continued.

"Okay, I will tell Scott, you don't have to talk in detail when you have time." Cameron said after thinking for a moment.

"What is your opinion?" Adrian asked.

"It's my job to direct movies and produce special effects." Cameron shrugged seriously, and Adrian immediately laughed.

He is a smart man, he has said so in detail, how could he not know how to choose? (To be continued...Q
