King of Hollywood Chapter 19: Prague tour

Prague, a European city with a history of at least 1,000 years, was one of the largest political, economic and cultural centers in Europe. It was positioned as the capital of many countries, such as the Holy Roman Empire in the 9th century and the Habsburg Dynasty During the reign of Central Europe, it was re-designated as the capital of the Holy Roman Empire. Later, it became the capital of the Czechoslovak Republic, the capital of the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic, the capital of the Czechoslovak Federal Republic, and the capital of the Czech Republic, which has been established for less than two years.

This is known as "the City of Thousand Towers" and "Golden City". It is known as one of the most beautiful cities in Europe. It is a city famous for its various styles of architecture in the world. It also attracts spies from various countries because of its geographical location. Trade here. Although it is not as good as the three spy cities in the rumors, but the scale is not small, so the first act of "Mission: Impossible" chooses to happen here.

“Personally, I don’t like Milan Kundera very much. I prefer to read Kafka’s novels by comparison. This is not to say that Kundera is not as good as Kafka. His novels are indeed very good. Yes, many people have read the novel "Unbearable Lightness in Life" in the UK. However, Kundera sometimes seems too hypocritical. When you first read it, you will feel shocked and moved, but after reading it a lot You will find that, but that’s the case. Kafka also has this situation, and many writers can’t escape it, but Kafka’s advantage is that he has passed away. That’s why I just said that I never comment on contemporary writers. This should be a matter for people decades or even hundreds of years later. As long as the author is still alive, people have to take into account other factors and the influence of others when commenting, so it is difficult to be fair."

Sitting at the round table of the outdoor cafe on the street, Adrian is talking incessantly, sitting in front of him is Rachel ? Wei Zi, a casual dress can't block her inside-out book spirit, she Looking intently at Adrian, Pitts gently bit her lip, seeming to listen very fascinatingly, the same way she did that last afternoon in London.

Next to Rachel sits Nicole Kidman, a light-colored dress with a dark jacket, her legs upturned, and the feet in high heels clicking from time to time, which looks a bit playful. There is no expression on her face, which makes her look very cold and glam, and her eyes are also on Adrian, but she does not know what she is thinking.

Is Tom sitting next to her? Cruz doesn’t hide his absentmindedness at all, his eyes flickering and don’t know where to look. This is already his very restrained performance, otherwise he will start yawning boringly. .

"So, we shouldn't have any comment on it?" Rachel , who was playing with the spoon, asked at this time, "Know that even if you comment on Shakespeare, people will have to be influenced by others."

"Of course it shouldn't be a comment," Adrian laughed. "For the deceased Shakespeare, they are too far away from us. We can only understand each other through the literature and their works, but the literature and works It does not allow us to fully understand, so the rest of it is made up by our brains. Do you understand the meaning of the word'll'? Because it is not a complete understanding, we will be based on the first impression of them Self-supplementation of the head is the most direct feeling as an individual. If these individuals can communicate with each other perfectly, they can outline the closest image. As a living contemporary writer, especially a writer with great influence, Do you think people will not be influenced by his movements when commenting? Will they not be influenced by his friends and his relationship?"

Speaking of which, Adrian reached out and knocked on his head: ""Prague Love", the top ten American movies in 1988, won the Golden Palm of Cannes, I guess you should have watched it, how do you feel? It feels very bad, certainly not too bad, but obviously, Kauffman wants to express all the things in the novel in the movie, but Kundera originally wanted to express enough things, but the plot instead Become loose. For a film adapted from a novel, the director’s own things must dominate, even if it is produced, it will be criticized, but this film..."

Adrian smiled, took a sip of coffee and didn't go on.

"Don't you think that the success of the film is attributed to the original author's influence, Ed?" Nicole asked aloud at this time, and the beautiful blue eyes were very beautiful.

"We are talking about the author's influence, aren't we?" Adrian smiled and retorted, "If you want to write a review, of course I have to speak fairly. The advantages and disadvantages are examples, so that we can persuade But it’s just a few words in private, and it’s just one aspect, so it doesn’t make sense to accuse me of this.”

"Did your comment on the actors' performances be affected?" Rachel suddenly interrupted.

"Sorry, probably," Adrian shrugged. "Daniel Day-Lewis performed better, but Juliet Binoche and Lena Olin’s acting skills, sorry, I really don’t How good it feels."

He raised his hand to stop the Rachel ’s speech: "Essentially, whether it is a director or an actor, all he has to do is convey a feeling to the audience that will allow them to engage in it and cause strong resonance. Tommy "Born on July 4" is the best example. The second half of the heated speech and the scene of falling on the ground and climbing to the wheelchair aroused the praise of countless audiences. This is Tommy's best performance all the time, right? "

Adrian approached Tom Cruise. Although the other party was always absent-minded, he was still listening to the conversation, and immediately showed a brilliant smile of Peugeot: "Of course."

Everyone likes to listen to good words, but why is Cruz the exception.

"Okay, now let’s think about their performances under Binoche, typical French style, it seems to hold everything in their hearts. Very unpleasant performance skills, if you separate it from the image of the novel, how much will it make People touched?" Adrian spread his hands together, "How to pass emotions to the audience and resonate, this is the homework every actor and director always do, in this regard, actresses have more disadvantages, the more beautiful The easier it is for women to do this."

Something he seemed to think of here, Nicole looked a little embarrassed in front of her eyes, and suddenly changed her topic after coughing: "Speaking of it, Tommy, I really envy you, there is such a beautiful and moving Wife."

"Thank you." Cruz laughed, and then looked at the time, holding Nicole to stand up. "Okay, we should go back. It was a wonderful afternoon."

Seeing her husband eager to leave, Nicole didn't say much, but just took a deep look at Adrian.

"Be careful on the road, don’t think there will be no paparazzi and fanatical fans in Prague." Adrian stood up with a smile and patted his shoulder, and after looking away from the distance, he turned back and grinned at Rachel : "We Go back now? Or do you want to visit this beautiful city again?"

After returning from Edinburgh, Adrian accompanied the little guy for a few days, and then set off for Prague. Although "Mission: Impossible" was handed over to the production company of Cruise, Bosworth Films had investment and copyright. It is not exclusive to the other party, so it is normal to visit the class.

Emma would like to follow her. She has gone abroad before, but Adrian rejected her in the name of work. Although the little guy was not happy, he still accepted this reality. Besides, Adrian also agreed, and she could come to the United States in the second half of the year.

Cate did not follow to Prague.

"I just want to go back to Los Angeles, I don't want to disturb your work." She said so.

Since this is the case, Adrian is not forced, at least there is Charlie. Unexpectedly, it was only after he arrived in Prague that he discovered that his personal secretary had actually released his pigeons.

After returning to London, Charlize proposed to go to Prague in advance to prepare for the next business. She said very firmly that Adrian agreed. When he arrived at the "Mission: Impossible" crew, he was told that Charlize returned to the United States the day before he came, and left a message saying "I am in poor health, I want to go back to rest first."

This excuse is really bad enough, but what else can Adrian say? Is it going to Los Angeles to catch her back? He wondered if the two women had colluded in London.

Adrian stayed in the studio for three days and did not have too many suggestions for shooting, even if Cruise had asked him more than once, and the tone and expression were very sincere. First of all, the location of "Mission: Impossible" is only London except Prague, which is very simple. The more difficult scenes such as the classic spider man theft, or the desperate fight in the tunnel, etc., were shot in the studio. , So there is really nothing to say; secondly, Cruise attaches great importance to his power on the set. The reason why he previously tolerated Adrian's finger-pointing in the casting was because he bought a personal feeling and because the actors selected were very suitable. His mind. So from Adrian's point of view, since I have already bought a personal relationship, I just want to buy it.

There are no scenes from Reems and Jean Reynolds-oh, Reynolds has a shot, but the shooting was completed early. So the most important thing is the performance of Tom Cruise, Nicole Kidman and Anthony Hopkins.

"If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have come to play such a cunning role," Hopkins said to Adrian. "You know, this kind of role is always difficult to grasp."

"What's the matter, you only need to behave decently in the first half and villain in the second half. This is your strength, dear Anthony." Adrian reassured with a laugh.

In the beginning, someone recommended Joe Watt to play the role of Jim, but he was angry at his rebellious daughter who became a contracted actor of tal_und_ and refused all the movie invitations, so this The role eventually fell on Anthony Hopkins.

"Be careful and take care of your body, Anthony, if you want, I can introduce you to a good doctor." He said to him immediately afterwards, when shooting, Hopkins complained about back pain, and Adrian was hidden. I remember that he had surgery because of a back problem, so he said so.

Hopkins is the best performer among the three, and the old drama bones of the stage play for decades are indeed very powerful. Then there was Cruise, whose face was born for Ethan Hant, not to mention other aspects. Nicole can only say that she is quite satisfactory. Judging from the current situation, she may not be able to get rid of the title of vase.

Nico may be aware of this, so when Adrian found an opportunity to chat with her in private and talk about certain roles, she always expressed her opinions intentionally or unintentionally. Adrian, who smiled in the face of this situation, neither said anything bad nor promised. It is not the right time.

As for his other purpose of coming to Prague, Rachel ? Vichy is only one of many supporting roles. It is also quite satisfactory, and her drama is up to Prague, so Adrian came over and sent her a script this time.

"It's a very interesting story, I think... no problem." Rachel said after reading the script. The look of his eyes didn't know what he was thinking. Although he responded a little hesitantly, the tone was definitely obvious. .

This story is about a dishwashing worker with a criminal history who intends to return to work, so he finds three stupid associates who want to rob the bank. His wife, who was an elementary school teacher, hoped that her husband would live a peaceful and stable life, and his wife accidentally tried to stop it when she didn’t know, but this guy was determined to not only give up, but also pull his wife into the gang, which was staged. A scene of farce.

Yes, this is Woody? Allen's "Small Time Crooks", but there are still several years to be produced, that is the oldest period of the old man, so the film produced is not very good. Adrian is only interested in this script, at least it is very interesting from the story, but from the director to the producer must be recruited again, the script must also be modified, for example, the heroine who was originally a beautician is also considering Rachel The temperament was changed into a primary school teacher.

After all, Woody? Allen's tuberculosis style is unique, no one can learn and no one likes it, so it is necessary to modify it into a normal black comedy. Adrian still threw it to the writers after providing the outline and opinions. Fortunately, they all did a good job, fully understood his opinions and joined them, as long as they choose a good director and a good actor.

As for the movie box office, Adrian didn’t care too much. Although Woody? Allen produced the movie, the scandal and low tide affected the play, making the original niche movie less popular, but it means now The same is true for substitutions. Besides, as long as the cost is properly controlled, the director or producer is not stupid, and the cost can be recovered even if the box office is not high, so as to accumulate popularity for Rachel , and then she can appear in the movie according to his plan.

Because of this, hesitant Rachel agreed to the Adrian shopping invitation, so they met Nicole and Cruise who also came to rest while discussing the new script in the outdoor cafe. Such a coincidence, naturally invited them to sit down and discuss together, and when Nicole learned that Adrian had a new script to appear in Rachel , that look was really subtle, although she did it very concealed, how could she escape from the beginning Just paying attention to her Adrian eyes.

So, after chatting, I moved to the city of Prague, then to Milan Kundera, and then I got the first words. If someone else commented on this, it would have been completely refuted, but it was Adrian, the Hollywood director of miracles, or the premier screenwriter, plus his achievements and surprisingly good eloquence. Instead, it attracted the attention of the two women.

For women, the more powerful, capable, and arrogant women, the more they like those men who are super capable — well, they are super capable no matter what — including those powerful women Nemo is not so. Women are naturally waiting to be conquered by men, as Adrian said when he taught Dennis: male animals always think about how to spread their seeds more comprehensively, while female animals think about finding the best male Pass on your own genes, and human beings as advanced animals are no exception.

So it’s not hard to understand why Adrian talks about Milan Kundera and criticizes the films whose novels have been adapted. As for the effect, Nicole naturally could not observe it, Rachel , she agreed to Adrian's invitation to continue shopping, and then after dinner to return to the hotel to leave and prepare to return to the room, Adrian did not let go. She struggled slightly, and then took Adrian with her hand and pulled her into the room.

Afterwards~IndoMTL.com~ kissed, caressed, undressed, and fell into lust, and finally put Rachel on the bed, just like the one in London, Adrian took possession of her again politely.

As for Rachel herself, she doesn’t know what she is thinking. She knows that this man is a playboy. He may be more interested in himself physically, but she still agreed to the invitation to go shopping. He was pulled into the room, stripped of clothes and placed on the bed, letting him play and abuse at will.

Because he made a special trip to Prague to arrange the next movie for her? Or is it because of his talk and mannerism? Or was Nicole's words of praise and eyes left on others when he was leaving?

At the moment Adrian entered, Rachel ran these behind his head and began a warm welcome to forgetfulness. Anyway, he has always been a mysterious, hard-to-see through man, yet exudes strong attractiveness.

Yes, every woman who is attached to Adrian, whether it is Cate or Charlize, or Monica or Julia, is clearly aware of this-as for Sarah, she didn’t even think about it. However, compared to them, she is sometimes very simple.

This view also exists in other women, such as Nicole Kidman, and the next one.
