King of Hollywood Chapter 174: Windfalls
"The light is a little dimmer, I have emphasized many times, even if Edith has stabilized in Paris, she is still only a street singer, this must be highlighted, and compared with the life after , Keep this in mind for me, do you understand?!" Adrian is commanding loudly in the studio, "Locus, write it down, all later here will be replaced with French architecture similar to the previous Act 23."
"Yes sir!" the named Rox immediately replied loudly, and then quickly took notes.
Not only that, all the staff are not busy in the atmosphere, although Adrian is not particularly serious, but the tone is implicitly stern, no one can tell whether he will get angry next second? After all, so far in mid-January 2003, the progress of the shooting of "Rose of Life" has fallen behind by a large margin compared to the plan.
Although Adrian is called the "energetic" miracle director, the film is very fast to produce, and it takes three months to complete the filming. In his hands, it may only take two months or even one and a half months, otherwise There will not be two commercial productions directed and produced by him at the end of last year, and a film with a small cost of literature and art. However, if the status of the actor is always not good, the director can't speed up the production speed with any means.
This is not to say that Sophie’s acting is very poor. After the continuous running in before, she has basically been able to grasp the qualities of Edith? Pi Yafu, and after makeup, especially after the old makeup, make people I can't think of what she has always been beautiful. Two-pronged approach, it is very possible to climb to the throne after the shadow.
It’s just that Adrian hopes that she can do better. In many cases, the lens that has been very good in the eyes of Sophie and others-in fact, it’s okay if you want to pass-Adrian can see that Sophie still has Room for improvement. Needless to say, the goal of this movie is that he only hopes to give her as many cards as possible before that, so it is okay to spend some time shooting repeatedly to get the best effect.
Anyway, there aren’t many plans for this year’s plan. This kind of waste doesn’t affect anything, that is, the actors may be more tired, but Sophie didn’t say anything, she always cooperated as much as possible.
Because the main reason for not being able to keep up with the schedule is your own. So Adrian didn't mean to blame the crew, but it didn't prevent him from taking advantage of this opportunity to spur them. Sufi, who knew this, didn't care, and privately used the prefix "energetic" to tease him. Of course, Adrian then made her understand what energetic is.
But now she is not on the set, Adrian gave her a holiday, because the shot to be taken today is without Pi Yafu. Okay, that's not accurate. There should be no part of the adult Pi Yafu.
"Okay, Renardo?" He looked around again, and after confirming that there was no problem, Adrian looked to the makeup room.
"Okay, sir." The makeup artist replied loudly, and then walked over with Dakota Fanning.
Little Dakota is now dirty. Wearing coarse cloth props clothes, hair is scattered, giving people a dazed but mature feeling, but the pair of shiny eyes are still very god.
"I won't say anything more to you, Hannah. You are a very smart and excellent child, I believe you can do your best." Adrian color and Yue said to Dakota, still in her head Patted on.
"No problem, I have long wanted to work with Director Miracle, and I will definitely do my best," Dakota replied crisply. Even if you wear ugly makeup, you can’t hide the sweet smile, "so that you can continue to cooperate in the future."
What a smart kid. Adrian raised his eyebrows insignificantly. As a child, it would only surprise people to say such words, and then turned into cute, so he was more impressed, but... but he didn’t think about it anymore, it’s no big deal, as long as she can play a good young Pi Yafu will do.
Dakota did not disappoint Adrian. Many shots NG are passed four or five times, and the longest one does not exceed double digits. This has nothing to do with the drama, but she did perform very well. It is not just luck to be a popular child star.
After praising her, Adrian immediately brought a younger girl about five years old. In "Rose Life", the young Piaf has two periods, one is about ten years old, and the other is about five years old-although Dakota is less than ten years old, she is better among her peers 'S acting made up for this-so in addition to Dakota, Adrian also made people find a smaller girl.
"Hello, Ms. Duke, nice to meet you." Adrian first shook hands with the mother who accompanied the girl, then leaned down to smile at her daughter: "You must be Koror Murray. Now?"
"Yes, sir, are you the famous director of miracles?" The little girl was not afraid at all, and replied in a soft voice, staring at him without blinking her eyes. Cute, even Adrian can't be connected with her image a few years later, which is probably why no one would think she will change after a few years.
Koror Moritz’s appearance in the smaller Piaf is purely accidental, this role is not particularly important, so Adrian did not give too much advice when the cast was selected, and the crew did not take it seriously. . Then, Koror’s mother, Terry Duke, took her daughter to Los Angeles. When he visited Universal Studios, he turned to the studio and saw the audition of the “Rose of Life” crew. Koror was curious and added himself. The older brother who had a performance experience often boasted to her, so he begged her mother to audition.
Seeing that her daughter was so interested, and that the conditions for the audition seemed to be not high, Duke took Colo to try it, and then he didn’t care about it. It's just that these casts will eventually be reported to Adrian, and the person in charge of casting is still a bit of a vision, adding her information to the check, so Adrian remembered it after seeing it.
"If no one else is called Miracle Director. That should be me," Adrian smiled slightly. "This is your first time in a movie, right? Don't worry, just follow my instructions."
After finishing, after touching Duke’s permission, she touched her head, and the little girl immediately made a grimace at his tongue.
"You have a very cute daughter, Ms. Duke." Adrian smiled, then greeted people to prepare, and began to explain to Xiao Luo.
Since there is a future star coming to your door, why should you let it go? Whether it is from the development of entertainment. Or from the perspective of showing his talents, it is meaningful, just like Dakota, so Kolo Moritz got this role-their family did not believe it after receiving the phone, thought Is deceptive.
"You only need to show the look of pain and understand what is pain?" After a brief explanation, Adrian asked.
"It's like... my mother threw away my Barbie doll?" the little girl asked, tilting her head after thinking for a long time, and then realized what covered her mouth. Then she looked worriedly at her mother. Although the mother next to her was a little surprised, she didn't say much. She just glared at her funnyly. Koror put out her tongue and smiled at Adrian with a smile: "That's probably it."
Very nice, cute, funny and smart. Adrian smiled and nodded while thinking in his heart, basically can decide.
"Are you interested in making your daughter an actor. Ms. Duke." After those simple shots, Adrian asked Kolo's mother like this.
"When... an actor?" Terry Duke's eyes widened. She didn't understand, but she couldn't believe it.
"Yes, in my opinion. Your daughter has great potential," Adrian said and crouched down in front of Koror. "Is it fun to make movies, Koror."
"It's funny." The little girl nodded her head, and she was very law-abiding when shooting, although it was like many young actors who made their first movie. Sometimes it won’t respond, but most of the time she’s doing pretty well—at least for a kid who’s doing a movie for the first time, it’s not bad, Adrian lets her emotions show as much as possible.
But as soon as she stopped filming and didn’t take a break, she would turn her eyes around and look around curiously, and pull people to ask this question, the typical curious baby.
"So, would you like to make movies often in the future. Then be a big star?" Adrian asked with a smile.
"I...Is it okay?" Koror questioned his head slightly.
"As long as you work hard, you will." Adrian nodded seriously.
"Can you give us some time to consider?" Duke said at the moment.
"Of course no problem." He then made a gesture of invitation.
Adrian is not worried, let’s not talk about his current fame, before the Duke’s family promises to let his daughter appear in the role, he will definitely collect relevant information about the director and the producer. Facing his long list of achievements, it’s great Most people's choices will not be different. Before Adrian induced Koror, Duke didn't have any redundant words, which is enough to explain the problem.
Then, scouts or agents will continue to lobby, and the final result will not be beyond Adrian's expectations.
Okay, let's talk about the shooting of "Rose of Life" for the time being. Although it has not stopped, it is as low-key as "The Devil's Head". After all, only half of it passed in January 2003. Whether it was "The Matrix 2" or "The Lord of the Rings 2", or "The Devil's Head" which had been added to the 300 theater line, it attracted the attention of others in different fields.
In addition, many movies are also fermenting, such as Scorsese's "New York Gang" has mixed praise, such as "Pirates of the Caribbean" North American box office has already passed 250 million, such as "Chicago" cinema line and The box office is basically proportional, for example, "The Moment" released on a small scale has been well received.
This novel based on Michael Cunningham’s novel, The Pure Literature and Art starring Rachel , Sophie, and Streep, was initially shown in only 11 theaters, and has not been added to the present. , The plot is slow, and the content is loose, but the film critics have eaten this set, and have given high scores.
However, if you are just talking about acting, the three leading actors are different from each other, especially Sophie, maybe not as good as the other two, and it’s a little strange to appear as a French housewife in the American country, but in terms of acting There are many highlights, which also proves that it is time to launch "Rose Life".
And Rachel . The media said that this is her best work after "The English Patient", and it is closer to the Oscars. It is a big hit for winning awards-if there is no Gwyneth and "Demon Devil"-so Adrian deliberately smoked a bit She was comforted by the good time.
Although the movie circle is so lively, and Adrian has three completely different types of movies online, he is still the same as before, unless there is an important event, it will basically not appear in front of the media in a serious manner, like "The Devil's Head" "Explaining this situation is still a special case, because it is convenient to do certain things. For example, arrange Gao Yuanyuan's residence and study and life in the next few months.
"Given that this is your first time to come to the United States, I arranged for you to live with Xi Lei, and they have taken care of each other. Anyway, her villa is not small." With Gao Yuanyuan all the way to Lin Xilei After leaving the luggage in Santa Monica’s sea view villa, Adrian took her to explain while visiting.
"Yeah, I always feel calm here, so I often sleep on the side of the company, and you are just busy." Lin Xilei, who had been told for a long time, was very enthusiastic. "Jingling is also resting now. Call her to gather together when you have time, whether I or she are good people to get along with."
During the entire tour, Gao Yuanyuan was surprised and curious. She smiled timidly and basically didn't talk much. It was normal to feel shocked when I first came to Los Angeles and lived in this place again.
Her choice was not beyond the expectations of Adrian, as I said. No one wants to come to Hollywood to develop, even if it's just a TV series.
Huayi is also very kind. They need to cooperate in this arrangement, so Adrian did not hide it. They then won Gao Yuanyuan’s brokerage contract and were very polite to her.
Then. After the filming of "Yi Tian Tu Long Ji" was finished, I rested for a while, said goodbye to my family and friends and applied for a visa, and finally came to the other side of the Pacific in mid-January.
"Don’t be too nervous. It’s not completely different from China. Just take a few days off, adjust the time difference, and call home. Then get familiar with the environment. I will let Xi Lei take the time to give you guidance and teach you some. Common sense of life in the United States, I will often come to see you during this time. In short, don’t worry, just like going out on vacation, we will speak English and perform training classes after you get used to it, and even if the TV series is to be filmed, it will have to wait. Went in April or May." After the tour, when there were only two people, Adrian comforted Gao Yuanyuan.
This is a good opportunity. Why do the lonely people feel homesick? Because everything that is familiar has changed, there is nothing to rely on that makes people feel safe. In this case, who can give her enough security, she will rely on the other person unconsciously, so Adrian took a little time, after she adjusted the jet lag to adapt to the environment, and took the time to invite her to go shopping, eat, Introducing the city, it was easy to get her to bed again.
Although it is not necessary to put her down on the collection shelf, how can you not play a few times in the face of such a young and beautiful girl?
"Don't think so much, it's just an observation period, wait a while and talk about it," Adrian said in the face of Lin Xilei's hint.
"No problem, boss." Lin Xilei shrugged indifferently.
"Also, looking at Zhiling, don't let her do anything stupid." Adrian replied again.
Shuanglin is a Taiwanese after all, Lin Xilei is okay, he knows his ideas a lot, and he is very decent in his work, but Lin Zhiling is hard to say, especially if she has been too spoiled for her over the past year. If there is any contradiction in the region or elsewhere, it will be a bit troublesome.
"No, boss, Zhi Ling is actually very smart. She will have a good time with Miss Gao." Lin Xilei replied immediately, and even hinted a little.
Adrian did not mind, he knew that Lin Xilei had been trying to expand their circle, otherwise Liu Yufei would not be recommended to him, and Lin Zhiling had been advised many times. It is precisely because of this that Adrian arranged Gao Yuanyuan to live in her villa. There should be no major problems when she is a lubricant.
This is one thing, and there is one more thing that deserves his attention in mid-January. This is an accident and a surprise like Kolo Moritz.
Because of Britney, Christina, and Avril, there are not many Adrian coming to Universal Records, and they often have to stay until after work to leave ~IndoMTL.com~ But today, because there are some things to advance, the result just came I heard a sharp voice from the reception room over there: "Why not? I am the best, why not! Have you ever listened to my music seriously."
In fact, he can leave directly, but his heart suddenly feels interesting, the voice is very sharp and crisp, it should be a girl, and he is not old. Although there are only a few words, he can basically hear it, and his voice is still very loud. Not bad.
Who is so arrogant? Adrian was born with curiosity, then walked outside the transparent reception hall and knocked on the door, then a tall girl standing in front of the coffee table turned around. At first glance, he could not help but feel a little stunned. This girl is not the same as she thought. She is really tall and looks like she is fifteen or six years old, but there is a little obvious childishness between the eyebrows, probably At the age of thirteen or four.
This is not the point. The point is that her face is still a little fat, and her long blond hair is brushed back, exposing her forehead completely, so that she should be pretty Somewhat ugly.
"You are a miracle director? That miracle director who can write songs!" Before the Adrian asked, the girl had taken the lead in screaming, followed her chest, and introduced herself proudly: "I am Taylor, Taylor Swift, you should sign me, I will be the most well-known country singer!" (To be continued...)
