King of Hollywood Chapter 133: Disputes
It’s no surprise that the reaction of the British media and critics will be so intense, although Adrian has a British grandmother, although he also has the default British nationality, although his first film was shot in London and is full of British black humor, but he is always an American
Although the United Kingdom and the United States are politically alliances, most of the time they look down on each other culturally. Americans feel that the British are hypocritical and rigid, and the British feel that Americans are rude and uncultivated. It would be unthinkable if there was no fight against each other for a long time. This strange state may be ridiculous in the eyes of outsiders, but it seems normal to the middle class in Britain and the United States.
As an American, Adrian produced movies with a strong cult style, and therefore won the Golden Palm Award at the Cannes Film Festival. Such a person wants to put the works of Edward? Morgan Foss, who is famous for its fresh and elegant, or one of the most famous novels, "Howard Manor" on the screen. It is simply a joke of God. It is no wonder that the British media will be so indignant. , Almost one-sided attack.
As for the American media, it seems very embarrassing. Generally speaking, they should all speak for themselves at this time, but Adrian is indeed too whimsical this time. If this novel has any similarities with those of his previous movie styles, they will defend him, but the fact is...
"Frankly, we are looking forward to seeing a different kind of "Howard Estate" filled with **** violence and black humor in a few months, which must be cool. It doesn't mean that the tabloid can't speak, but that comment will only add fuel to the fire.
With this clue, it will be much easier to find it again. If you want to put this novel on the big screen, you must lease the estate, unless the leased estate cannot be too far from London, so it took a little After the effort, the reporters finally came to the door.
"I hope that everyone will continue, and that the scene at the manor will be over. Don't let these guys disturb you. Of course, I will also let people drive them away." Adrian let people drove these reporters away. While summoning Hopkins they held a small meeting in the living room.
Although he knew everything about the situation outside and was well prepared, he still didn't expect the reporters to come so fast. It's really the birthplace of paparazzi.
"I think it's okay." Hopkins took the lead.
After the reporter appeared, Adrian privately told him and Thompson about the situation outside, especially the British media's blame for themselves and them-because Hopkins and Thompson are British, the British media must tolerate them Much more, apart from thinking that they dare not cooperate with this "stupid" and "arrogant" director, almost nothing else, the main firepower is concentrated on Adrian, which is really different treatment.
Hopkins knows this is the performance that Adrian seeks to support. In the crew, he and Thompson are the two most important actors. After this period of cooperation, the wizard director he has recognized in his heart will naturally not be unsupported.
"Yes, this is not difficult." Thompson followed. Although she had expected that this might happen when she chose to cooperate at the beginning, she finally agreed to it, and the Adrian with little Emma gave her a wonderful feeling, and her instincts made her believe that it could be like this. Work alone. As for the risk, as a famous actress who is preparing to develop into a producer, how come she doesn't know that any movie is risky?
With the two protagonists and the most important supporting role, they expressed their support-Cate will certainly not be on the side of his boyfriend. Other actors and staff also echoed. After uniting the interior, Adrian immediately waved his hand, and the whole crew suddenly started to function again.
The reporters who were driven away were very unwilling but temporarily unable to do anything. The field of vision outside the manor was very wide. When shooting the long-range lens, the camera will include a lot of things. If the reporters do not intend to break in, one time It’s understandable twice, but it will get in trouble if the frequency is higher. Therefore, no matter what kind of reporters are interviewing the crew, they will not deliberately affect the shooting. This is also one of the unspoken rules.
Rao is so, they still take pictures with the camera far away, and then write down what they see and hear back-of course, adding oil and vinegar is definitely indispensable, so the British media attacked more sharply.
"Obviously, Adrian is very confident in himself. He stubbornly refused to disclose any information related to the movie and drove the reporters away. Although it seems-yes, yes, it seems- He spent a lot of time on costume props, but the profound meaning contained in Foster’s novels can not be expressed with a few fancy costumes and age-appropriate props. Oh, this is really the whole of England Unfortunately, none of the directors wanted to adapt the novel into a movie." A report on the famous British tabloid "The Sun" wrote.
Although it is quite funny as an entertainment tabloid to raise things to this level of description, don’t forget that sensationalism has always been the purpose of The Sun, even if it is still a few years away from its most arrogant time.
However, the Adrian staying in the manor and busy shooting does not care about this. He is now devoting all his energy to his work. There is no need to refute it. It’s already like this. It doesn’t help to say more. It’s better to wait a few months. Then speak with facts. Furthermore, the criticisms that were caused were within the Lavern plan. A movie can get a high box office, and marketing means accounted for at least 40% of the credit. If there is no publicity, how can the audience obediently enter the cinema? How can film critics pay attention to movies? That's why many new directors who want to go one step ahead like to make movies with controversial topics, the day the eyeball economy emerged from the media.
The budget of Howard Manor is about US$10 million. This is because Hopkins only paid US$4 million for Foster’s novels, otherwise he will be the new Oscar actor. 'S identity, definitely more than this price. As a literary drama film adapted from British novels, such a high budget is already dangerous. If you spend a lot of money on publicity, you may not be able to recover the cost. After all, this kind of movie is too small.
In this case, think of a way to do some free but effective publicity. For example, as mentioned before, it caused huge controversy. People’s curiosity will never subside. The greater the controversy, the more you want to see. However, Adrian does not need to shoot some taboo subjects. Directors who are famous for gangsters and violent subjects, directing a gimmick of a Victorian-style fresh and elegant literary film, are enough to attract attention.
These things are all handled by La Verne. Adrian only needs to guarantee the quality of the movie, so it’s not his business to criticize the British media. Fortunately for him, Emma was picked up by her aunt three days before the reporters arrived—although she is now playing or playing every day, it is not appropriate to stay in the film crew for a long time—otherwise knows those What the media writes is not good for the little guy.
Emma was very upset when she left. As for the reason, you don’t need to know it. After that night, the little guy desperately drilled into his arms as soon as he went to sleep. During the day, he rested completely on him, feeling that he was announcing that this was her territory, and no one could violate it.
For this, Adrian can only shrug helplessly. Fortunately, even if the little guy is reluctant, even if he looked at him with his eyes, he eventually left the manor, so he "grabbed" Cate back to the bedroom that night Have a good affection.
Unfortunately, it’s only a few days since the reporters came back with dogs whose noses are better than dogs. Although they can keep them out of the manor, although they dare not disturb the filming, they can hold a long lens in a mess while resting However, there are some cases of shooting. If the intimate lens is taken, it will be a little troublesome. So although he wanted to continue, hesitated to suppress it again and again.
"Anyway, we are mainly working now, so I will wait until I return to London." Cate comforted him so privately, which made Adrian a little accident, knowing that when she was intimate that night, she However, it took a long time to struggle with kicking and beating before being tamed.
The Cate who sensed his thoughts gave him a grimace and turned and ran away. Adrian shrugged and left the matter behind. Cate was right, let's finish the work first.
The extra reporters did not affect the operation of the crew. After all, they could only observe from a distance, and they would not take pictures while shooting. As for the various criticisms transmitted to the crew because of them, although they caused some small fluctuations among the British employees, they were basically dissatisfaction and indignation. Although most of the British employees cooperated with Adrian for the first time, they were only in the crew. After working for three weeks, I still think that such speech is completely irresponsible~IndoMTL.com~ Don't be angry, we just need to do the work in our hands. "The Adrian in my eyes comforts them more than once, as long as there is no doubt inside, any problems will be solved.
After the reporters swarmed in, it took another five days. When the time officially entered July, the manor’s shot was finally finished. But the Adrian was only a little relieved, because the plan was disrupted, and the rest of the lens might encounter many difficulties when shooting.
These scenes need to be filmed in the city. Although London has a lot of locations to choose from, it is not as convenient as Hollywood studios and movie cities. If you run around, you will have to give those reporters an opportunity. .
Generally speaking, if you stay outside the crew for a few days but get little news, most of the reporters will leave after leaving a few people who are concerned about the situation, and this is still the treatment of the big production. It's been 5 or 6 days, but the reporters who have been waiting far away haven't reduced it. Obviously, they are determined to dig something out.
