King of Hollywood Chapter 20: Comment

(It should be possible to pass it all at once?)

　　"If you want to describe this movie with one word, then "coincidence" is undoubtedly the most appropriate. Everything happens because of coincidence, especially the unexpected ending. But this one is based on coincidence. The movie is not annoying. The clues seem to be cluttered and cleverly combined by the director. However, the clutter is methodical. I have to admit that the director has a very good grasp of multi-line narrative skills."- Italy, Evening Post

　　 "This is a typical cut film, with a strong personal style and full of British cold humor. Cut film lovers will definitely like this movie, they will not think of it from the beginning to the end." It’s interesting. It’s weird or surprising that this director is an American! An American director made a full English-style cut, which is really ironic and comic. "-Tony Ryan, a famous British film critic

　　 "Too many coincidences make this movie much less visible. It is undeniable that the director has a good narrative, but these coincidences made him a little mediocre. This is an interesting movie, but also It’s just fun, it’s suitable for watching during breaks or pastimes.” — France, Le Figaro

　　"In this year's Venice Film Festival, in addition to Martin Scorsese's "Good Guy", there is an American movie that has received a lot of attention. What is interesting is that although the director is an American, the movie itself But it is a cut film with a strong British style. If you don’t know it, you will definitely think it is a British work."-United States, "Hollywood Report"

　　Basically, the critics and reporters who watched the movie at the Fleet Theater gave "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels" praise, except the French. Even so, the French admitted that it was an interesting and fun movie. This multi-line narrative technique is still amazing even after 20 years, not to mention 1990.

　　 Because of these, the number of viewers of "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels" immediately doubled the next day, and the theater and the organizer immediately increased the number of screenings after consultation. As a result, "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels", which was originally famous by film critics and reporters at the film festival, immediately gained more attention. Some European film companies also came to the door to get this movie in their home country. The right to issue.

　　 The first person to come to the door was an American film company, Miramax. This film company was founded in the 1970s by the Bob Weinstein and Harvey Weinstein brothers. It has always been known for making independent films. The independent producers in Hollywood can have the same achievements today as the Weinstein brothers. It doesn't matter.

　　 Because of this, Miramax is particularly discerning in small production movies, so the person in charge of the festival this time found Adrian for the first time. Of course, they are destined to return without success. After all, participating in the film festival in the name of an independent film is just a guise of Adrian.

After the refusal, Adrian had regrets for a few seconds. The other party was very sincere. Although the conditions are not too good, it is already very good for the new director. And he remembers that Miramax or the Weinstein brothers are very good at public relations, and they have won the Oscar for the best movie several times. If you hand them over to Miramax’s marketing methods, then The issuance fee can definitely be earned.

　　However, this idea only stayed in the head of Adrian for a few seconds, what would happen to the company if it was handed over to them? There is no reason to extrapolate benefits. Besides, in the future, if you become bigger, you will definitely become a rival with Weinstein in some respects, and there is no reason to weaken yourself and strengthen others. Of course, the most important thing is that once you make a decision, you should stick to it, and two minds will only make both ends empty-this is one of the things he learned in his previous life.

　　 Next, film companies from other countries also came to the door one after another. Adrian had to deal with them one by one. Who asked him to participate in the festival in the name of an independent film?

　　 "Okay, I agree to this condition, congratulations, Mr. Brooke." After exchanging glances with La Verne, Adrian stood up and reached out to the middle-aged man in front of him.

　　 "I am very happy to have the right to distribute this movie. I think people will like it." The middle-aged man stood up and smiled and shook hands with Adrian, quite gentlemanly. Gary Brooke, one of the heads of the Turknan Film Company in the UK participating in the Venice Film Festival, is a typical British.

　　 "Can I ask, Mr. Adrian, how did you... make such a film with a strong British black humor?" Brooke asked at this time.

　　Adrian smiled a little: "My grandmother is British. I often went to London with my parents when I was a child. This city left a deep impression on me, so I chose to make my first movie here."

　　 "It turns out so." Brooke nodded, although still smiling, his chin lifted slightly.

　　Although it was funny in Adrian's heart, his face did not show up. After Brooke was sent out, he turned his head and said to Laffern: "The British always think that they are so self-righteous, even negotiating until the end, and... "

　　 He made a gesture and shook his head again. Several British film companies came to contact at the end. They are obviously very entangled. The director of this British black humor-style film is actually an American!

　　 "They are used to it and always like to indulge in the glory of the past rather than extricate themselves." Raffan shrugged.

　　Adrian couldn't help laughing, but I didn't expect this guy to be ironic and merciless.

　　 "He seems to see something." Raffen reminded at this moment.

　　 "It doesn't matter, it's my own investment in production anyway, it's not a problem, let's say they will know sooner or later." Adrian shrugged indifferently, which is why he asked La Verne to help him deal with major movie companies one.

　　 Laffern didn't speak anymore. After finishing things, he got up and said goodbye. When he was sent out of the room, Adrian let out a long breath, stretched out comfortably and came to the balcony.

　　 "Hi, baby, I'm so sorry to let you come here." Adrian greeted Cate with a smile and sitting in the recliner, flipping through the book.

　　Knowing that Cate raised his head and said nothing, he said nothing at a glance.

　　 "What's wrong? What happened?" Adrian asked puzzled.

　　 "It's nothing," Cate said in an exaggerated aria, "I'm just a bit self-righteous."

　　Adrian showed a stunned look but then laughed.

　　 "Okay, I said something wrong, there was a word missing, and I should add something in front of the British." He sat down next to her and spread his hands, "I apologize again, okay?"

　　 Cate snorted softly and turned over to continue turning the book as if he didn't hear anything.

　　Adrian raised her eyebrows, suddenly hugged Cate around her waist, and then struck her on her shoulders and strode inside.

　　 "What are you doing! Let me down!" The startled Cate struggled suddenly, kicking and kicking with both feet, and his hands kept beating the waist of Adrian until his hips were squeezed hard. Then the exclamation subsided.

　　 thumps, Adrian throws Cate on the bed, and then looks at her fiercely with her fingers: "Obviously you should accept some punishment, my dear Cate."

　　 "You...I..." Cate's subconscious hand reached his chest, "Don't mess up, Ed!"

　　 "It's been several days, no matter how big the pain is, shouldn't it?" Adrian smiled and pressed over with a smile.

　　 "Wait, it's daytime now!" Seeing that he was coming, Cate quickly backed away, but how could she escape.

　　 "So what, there is no legal requirement during the day."

　　 "But...but... this one also wants me..."

　　 "Don’t worry, you will agree immediately."

　　 "Wait... help!"

　　Although Cate had a “long-term and hard” struggle, how could she be the opponent of Adrian with countless women's experience for the first time, and then lost herself under caress and provocation. Next is naturally a battle of deadly bowels. Afternoon sunshine spills in through the balcony and windows, making the view in the room fascinating.

　　 "You are an asshole, Ed." Cate's soft voice rang, she closed her eyes and bowed her spine motionlessly in Adrian's arms, and seemed to have no strength.

　　 "Why do you say that?" Adrian hugged her from behind and kissed her neck warmly.

　　 "You can't make me move." Cate's tone brought a hint of complaint ~ IndoMTL.com ~ but more is satisfaction.

　　Adrian smiled and did not speak, but continued to keep warm with her. The combined experience of past and present life made him know nothing more about the female body, and now the cost is equally strong, and it makes Cate desperate.

　　 "Yes, Cate," Adrian suddenly asked after a long time, "How are you thinking? Don’t forget, I still want you to star in the supporting role of the new movie."

　　The carcass in his arms trembles slightly. After a long sigh, Cate reluctantly turned over and looked at Adrian with complicated eyes: "I don’t know, Ed, I...I love you, I want to go, but..."

　　 "Because of schooling, and my mother may object, isn't it?" Adrian smiled gently. "I think that a student who is determined to go to Oxford cannot even graduate from high school; similarly, a student who is determined to go to Oxford Of students will not go to Stanford University. I can persuade Ms. Judy if you want."

　　 "Stanford University? But I went to Oxford to study literature." Cate poked his chest with his finger.

　　 "Stanford's School of Humanities and Natural Sciences is also very good," Adrian continued to persuade, "And, if you think of Hollywood development, I think you should go to the Southern California Film Academy or the California Academy of Art-Cate, I Miss you by my side."

　　 The words of tenderness and affection are always effective. Cate hugged Adrian after a few seconds of silence: "Ed, will I say it after I graduated from high school? I will definitely consider it, and I also want you to be by my side ."

　　 "Of course." Adrian nodded and kissed her delicate collarbone, "However, let me take some interest first."

　　 "Wait! No...you can't...ah!"
