King of Hollywood Chapter 132: They are still here
Although Cate is very easy to NG when shooting long shots, this movie is not composed of one or several long shots after all, so after bumping and shooting these scenes, she finally recovered come.
In these short shots, Cate still performed well. She was originally an Englishman, and she had also read these novels before, so she feels more accurate about the characters. Of course, it is incomparable with experienced actors like Hopkins and Thompson. When she plays with other people, she still has one or two highlights, but once she is with them, they will be comprehensive. pressing.
However, Cate didn’t take this matter seriously, and still worked hard to do his job. In addition, Adrian has always controlled the rhythm of shooting very well. For example, he has painted on each piece of paper- Even with simple lines-and then explain to the actors in detail before the start of shooting, and always keep it uninterrupted.
So even though the crew had problems like this, for example, when filming a driving scene on a small road outside the manor, the antique car almost turned over, and the actors in the car were also frightened; or a customized drama There was a problem with the service, and it was not returned to the style at the time, and the shooting was interrupted for two days and so on. Still at the end of June, most of the shots at Howard Manor will be taken.
"You are an excellent director, Ed, I think my previous decision was completely correct." Hopkins once said to Adrian in private, after seeing his rumored fast shooting technique and the scene. After his control and his ability to understand the novel, he strengthened his confidence in him.
However, some things are so unsatisfactory. When the Adrian brought the crew to the manor, in order to let everyone devote all their enthusiasm, a special closed shooting was carried out, which not only cleaned out the TV, Not even newspapers. Although some people inevitably have to go out, and some of the shots also need to go to the town to shoot, Adrian requires the crew of the crew not to discuss things outside.
At the beginning, many people were a little dissatisfied, but after getting used to it, they didn’t say anything. Although Adrian so required, it was actually not strictly enforced. Everyone talked a lot in private. It doesn't matter if there is no TV set or newspaper. Anyway, it is only two or three weeks of work. Several old employees who have been following Adrian know that the director said that it will end as long as the end of the time, and the error is only two or three days.
Therefore, the whole manor is still very peaceful and relaxed after the shooting. However, on the last day of June, this tranquility was suddenly broken, and many reporters appeared as they emerged from the land, and they appeared around the manor early in the morning, waiting for Hopkins, Adrian, or When Thompson came out, he swarmed up immediately.
"Mr. Adrian, this is William of the "Daily Mirror", how do you want to put Mr. Foster's novel "Howard Manor" on the big screen? Do you think you are very powerful, what kind of Can the subject matter be taken?"
"Why did you choose to cooperate with the director who is famous for making cult genres in a literary plot movie, and it is Foster’s "Howard Manor", Ms. Thompson?"
"Mr. Hopkins, what makes you think that it is the right thing to cooperate with Mr. Adrian in a literary and artistic movie? Are you sure he can grasp the context of the movie?"
These guys are like sharks smelling blood, no matter what the situation of Hopkins and others is, they are desperately rushing around to grab news. Fortunately, the rest of the crew also came out and drove these reporters out.
"It's so bloody, how come they come to the door so quickly?" Adrian said a little bit depressed after returning to the house with several main actors. He knew very well that these reporters would come sooner or later. Although he asked others not to contact outside during the manor, he kept in touch with Lavern, so the media's reaction was expected.
"Pulp Fiction" has so far collected more than 30 million box offices in North America. Although this data is not high, it is not comparable to the "Batman Returns" released in the same period for more than 100 million, but it is better than It's very stable. In a little over 3 weeks, the weekly box office is around 10 million, and the range of fluctuations is not large.
Furthermore, Adrian explained to Lavern that he wanted to take back the box office with a long-term screening, so as long as this is maintained, it is certainly no problem to "reproduce" the North American record of over 100 million.
The honors this film received-won the Palme d'Or; and the current hits-for R-rated and cult-type movies, the current results have been quite good. It has caused a lot of cult-type movies, and many large filmmakers have set their sights on independent small-cost movies. Some critics even think that independent filmmakers in Hollywood should thank Adrian. Without him and his "Pulp Fiction", independent films will not receive such attention-although Adrian's work is not a complete independent film. The tide was indeed caused by him.
As a result, the public and the media have begun to dig deeper into this wizard director. Although his previous experiences have been known, people are still very curious about how a respected guy shot this A kind of gangster movie? Even if he had been fooling around for a while, some things would not be so clear unless he stayed at the bottom of the society.
Whether Martin Scorsese or Francis Ford Coppola, without those young experiences, can you make those famous gangster movies? But in all respects, Adrian is a person who comes from an elite society. How did he seize these things? Although he once said in Cannes that this is because he watched a lot of gangster movies and videos, this explanation obviously cannot satisfy most people, so a new round of mining and analysis is bound to be carried out.
As a result, there has never been a stop, and the comparison between the new movie type of Adrian and the original style has been taken out again. It's just that since the release of "Pulp Fiction", the wizard director disappeared from the public eye again. At the beginning, he also played some publicity activities. After a few times, there were only actors and other producers in such activities. .
Although no one knows where he went, the reporters are journalists, especially entertainment reporters. He soon found out that he took the crew of the new movie to the UK, and there were also new film actors Anthony Hopkins
"Obviously, after he ruined Al Pacino, he set his sights on Anthony Hopkins again. If I were Anthony, I would definitely think about it and cooperate with the Adrian in literary plots. Is the movie the right choice?" a newspaper wrote half-ridiculously.
"I highly doubt that Adrian nominally claims to be shooting a literary drama movie, but the actual film is a thriller movie, otherwise why would he invite the Oscar for Best Male just to be one of the most thrilling characters in history? The protagonist Anthony Hopkins starred in the protagonist?" another newspaper said.
The major media immediately sent reporters to London. Although Adrian vowed to declare that the new film is a complete literary plot, he never revealed the specific name. Now he actually took the crew to the UK, so does it mean this Will filming be British? If this is the case, then the fun is great.
However, because Adrian has been prepared for a long time, and it is closed shooting in the suburbs, and especially told the partners to keep secrets, so although these reporters got a lot of clues that he was indeed in London, they still don’t know where he is. .
However, then British journalists also joined in. They have been paying attention to Adrian's new movies. With the help of these worthy snakes, they soon received a message from King's College of Cambridge University. As early as more than a year ago, a Hollywood producer found that they bought the right to adapt and produce Foster’s novel Howard Manor
According to this news, I continued to search for it. The reporters finally found out that the person who bought the right to adapt the novel is a producer of Bosworth Films. Then he associates it with the statement of Adrian. His new movie is What is self-evident.
Of course, there are still many journalists who don’t believe that although Adrian successfully adapted Stephen King’s novel before and nominated it as Oscar’s best director, the style of this novel and his previous films It’s a far cry. If he really chooses to adapt this novel, there is only one explanation: his head is flooded
Unfortunately~ IndoMTL.com~ After asking Bosworth Films, the answers they got shattered their fantasy: Adrian's new movie is indeed "Howard Manor"
The North American media lost all their voices for a while, and the British media began to speak strongly after stunned.
There is a strong criticism: "What does he want to do? Whoever gives him the power to do so will ruin the novel"
There is a sharp question: "Although Adrian has stayed in the UK, the first film interprets British black humor just right, but it does not mean that he can be arrogant and think he has the ability to adapt Foster. He understands what this novel is about? Does he understand what this novel represents? God, this is really a disaster"
There is also a bitter sarcasm: "Obviously, after a few months, we can see on the big screen that Henry and Margaret swearing at each other, a drug-pungent Helen, a person who does nothing The scrupulous family expects a'k' to appear every two or three minutes. Maybe Henry will eventually want to kill Margaret and eat her, and Margaret and Helen will try their best. Kill him to get Howard Manor-if I were Foster, I would definitely jump out of the grave and kill this American kid by myself"()
