King of Hollywood Chapter 202: Unreadable script

Unknown script in Chapter 202

The screenwriter of the editorial board left with doubt and confusion. Why would Director Miracle want to write a script that no one can understand? But this does not prevent him from taking the script back and quickly sorting it out for Adrian. All screenwriters at Bosworth Films’ editors know that this is a beautiful difference, and the other two film companies — and even other major companies — have signed contract writers who are envious of them.

Generally, there are two cases. Adrian gives an outline, and then they fill in it in detail and then review it by him, and repeatedly know that it has been modified to his satisfaction. The other one was written by him, but because it was written in a hurry, it was just messed up as soon as possible, so they had to organize it into a standard script format. But no matter what kind of profit, the scripts filled according to the outline are either sold well or have a good reputation. As for those who helped to organize, Adrian did not hesitate to write their names in the screenwriter column.

Not to mention that there are still a lot of rewards, and those Bosworth writers have been squeezed a lot, and there is no way to write a story, and a few have left Bosworth. The producers are fond of it, which is enough for other people to win. Speaking of it, film writers are not as important as TV screenwriters in Hollywood. Film writers either complete the scripts and sell them to producers or film companies, or they sign contracts to complete the prescribed scripts. After the film is made, there is no such thing as them.

But TV drama screenwriters are different. Many popular TV dramas are filmed and edited while taking into account the wishes of the audience. Not long ago, I also conducted a survey on the website, whether Raymond should break up with his current girlfriend, and the support rate was as high as 73, so the remaining three episodes of the supporting actress were all cut. In addition, they still have some copyrights, so the screenwriting power of TV dramas is relatively greater. Many small actors will find ways to let the screenwriters write more for their plays.

Okay, don’t talk about this topic. After finishing the script, we are ready to select actors to start work. Adrian should be completed within two months. There is no such thing in this year’s plan. He is completely temporary. In addition to the busy ones, he has already completed most of the Shakespeare in Love and Elizabeth, which will be released in the second half of the year. "The Matrix" waiting for the summer vacation file and a long movie for Monica after the summer vacation. The reason why I suddenly wrote a new script and prepared to start shooting immediately, in addition to the previous encounters, because some people began to whip.

The Oscar Awards ceremony is approaching. The most striking one is undoubtedly the "Titanic" masterpiece. Nearly 300 million investment is exchanged for 100 million global box office plus 15 nominations by unprecedented people. No one will underestimate James? Not to mention Cameron, Adrian as an investor and involved in screenwriting and production. Such a huge box office, even after all the deductions and expenditures have been deducted, it has at least hundreds of millions of pure profits. No one has mocked his money and nowhere to burn, not to mention that the Oscar-nominated cardiotonic agent has come to an end. The big ship made another wave. Although it was not big, it was enough to make many people envious and jealous.

Some people like it, some people hate it, Adrian Of course because " Titanic "Once again established his own accurate vision, but this year's Oscar is a rare nomination, to know that there are at least one nomination for a screenwriter last year. It's not surprising that only one of his movies was released last year, which is the takeover of Stanley Kubrick's " Eyes Wide Shut ", and when Kubrick’s films were not favored by the film school, he also participated in " Titanic "The screenwriter refused to sign his name, and it is natural that a nomination is not natural.

So there must be people who do not hate him take this opportunity to slam a pass, some say that Oscar can finally be fairer, some say that he has exhausted his talents to go downhill, and there is a ridicule of Adrian It is worthy of a careful analysis of Kubrick's work, and he learned a lot even if he could not get nominated.

The previous ones don’t matter, they are all eye-catching exaggerations used by some media, but in the end this view has attracted many comments. Over time, "Eyes Wide Shut" has been taken out by many people and compared with previous Kubrick's works. Like those movies, this movie has more praises from the back, at least in the use of color and soundtrack. The difference is almost the same.

If this is Kubrick's work, people just add various praises, but the problem is that Adrian, who is less than thirty years old, won the Oscar Best Director and is young in the director industry. Excessive people. What's more, it has not only made great achievements in screenwriting and production, but also is a rich man and a newcomer in the media industry.

Such a person can make a big-selling movie, can make a movie that the film school likes, but it must produce a Kubrick---the so-called "deep digging of human nature", "the anti-human nature of the system" "Wait.-Films are unwilling to believe in the minds of many critics who believe that the art of film is sacred and inviolable. Even after the movie was released, Kubrick, who was out and confirmed to be paralyzed, gave a thumbs-up to the movie during the screening, there are still many people who do not want to believe this.

"Adrian can completely modify this movie without having to be so jerky, and it will stop at the end, so that no single nomination will be lost." One critic wrote, seemingly kindly thinking about him , But what is actually said, people with a clear eye will know at a glance that these people are inexplicably seen from it.

Adrian was originally ignored, these people are just happy, they spare no effort to maintain their idols, any bad talk is inaudible, including who is replaced by the like can not mention it. Although it is quite naive to do this, it is not a patent for young people after all, nor is it possible for every critic to see things objectively.

He was too lazy to respond and refused all interviews. These words would be ignored and they would disappear soon, until he met Naomi Watts.

Speaking of this, this pretty woman who was born in Australia and raised in Australia is really bumpy. As a model and a clerk, she has always been unable to find her position, so she took a chance to become an actor. After a few years in Hollywood, nothing happened. He could only play the role of passerby in various TV series or movies. Finally he almost collapsed. It was not until he starred in the heroine in David Lynch's "Mulholland Drive" that he became famous. It became the best example of late adulthood. .

Yes, David Lynch (h), not David Finch (Fr). The surnames are different, and the style of the director is also south and north. Although Finch likes to shoot some movies with profound themes, and the editing is sharp and full of impact, it is basically understandable. Lynch, who was earlier in his fame, was different. The earliest work "Eraser Head" was an inexplicable and incomprehensible movie, that is, the town that changed from a movie to a TV series after a few twists and turns, which was slightly understandable. Others such as "Blue Velvet" or "My Heart Wild" with the participation of Cage are all things that make people feel toothache.

And the chaos in the past few years, last year's "Lost High Road" even made many critics who originally supported him can not stand it, and strongly criticized him. David Lynch also started to reflect on this, so he had the "Mulholland Drive" that was said to have a very high IQ to understand a few years later, but unfortunately he does not have this opportunity now.

Yes, the script currently written by Adrian is "Mulholland Drive". It was completed within two months just to catch up with the Cannes Film Festival. Didn’t they like to be crooked? Then tell them with facts that I have all themes Can shoot.

It's not for arrogance, it just happened, and I thought of a lot of interesting things. To be honest, although there are so many beautiful women in Hollywood, Naomi Watts is also a bit older, but she can still be regarded as one of the best. If she is out of it, it may not be reduced to the time when Adrian saw her. That way, it was because of this that he moved his mind.

Even if there are persistent people, they will change after constantly hitting the south wall, and then reach out to help when she is the most vulnerable and in need of help. It is a breeze to conquer her. Therefore, that In the evening, she performed a pretty great show with Adrian behind her. It’s not exactly acting. Half of Adrian’s words are sincere. His confirmation is that she is very good. A woman who can continue to insist is always very attractive. You can’t help but want to write it in your hand and then teach yourself. What I want to see.

In addition, he did see her videotapes in the auditions of several supporting actresses in "A Time to Kill", but I didn't care at the time, and when I saw her that night, I would have a familiar feeling. The memory of the previous life, the impression of this life is also not bad. In that case, what's the problem with using "Mulholland Drive" to make it popular and give someone a slap? Not to mention... He soon conceived a good thing with a few arrows.

As for David Lynch, who cares about his ideas, anyway, he copied so much, and he doesn’t care about one more, let alone Adrian can't really feel good about him. The characteristics of this guy have been said before, weird and like swordsmanship, the editing of each movie is quite messy, so messy that people can't see the story at all.

Adrian does not like Kubrick but still respects it. Although Kubrick’s story is slow, the plot is long, and there are a lot of inexplicable dialogues, at least there is a complete story, and it is also promoting the movie. Technically, it played a big role. For example, the special effects of "Spacewalking 1" caused a lot of sensation at the time, and Lucas and Cameron were both affected by this movie.

But Lynch completely abandoned the logic of the story. The original work still has a story frame. At the end, it is completely cut out some unrelated pictures in everything, just like a book. All the sentences in the novel are shuffled and then reorganized irregularly. Every word is known, but when they are connected, they don’t know what they are saying.

But movies are not novels after all, movies have pictures and sounds, so Lynch’s movies are filled with a lot of **** pictures of strange hunting. Use this to attract audiences and let them go to the brain to make up-as everyone knows, brain tonic is Powerful, the audience will always supplement the incomplete story in the direction they want, and make a circle, and no one will think that they do not understand, just like the emperor's new clothes.

This is the most annoying thing of Adrian, especially after making or copying this many movies, the more I insist on my point of view: a good movie must have an attractive story. You also need movies, paintings, and music. The first purpose is entertainment. Only when you meet the needs of entertainment, you come to sublimation to talk about art. Talking about art beyond entertainment is just a matter of luck.

So even though Lynch didn’t give up his tricks in Mulholland Drive, he just joined a plausible mainline content, and immediately greeted a good voice. Then all kinds of guesses and interpretations came out one after another, and here foretells what is there and what it wants to show, as if every shot has a deep meaning.

In the past life, these film critics—whether Chinese or American—he watched a lot. It’s ridiculous that those who have a sense of superiority don’t understand that such a film can be a graduate student of the director department. Shooting, Lynch wanted to shoot as much as he wanted. When they talked about the movie's metaphor in the sun, Lynch was probably hiding in a corner or watching them with pride or contempt.

Okay, let’s not talk about it anymore. It took only one day for the editorial department to sort it out. Adrian has also begun to prepare people. What the movie needs is too simple.

The knock on the door rang, and Charlize appeared at the door: "Sir, there is a lady outside who wants to see you, she said that she has an appointment."

"Actually, you can speak on the phone, or let the throne of the Imprint let her in, Charlie." Adrian raised his head and smiled slightly. Although Charlize called him Mr. Formally, the corner of his mouth was slightly upturned. , With a trace of teasing and a trace of helplessness, which makes her look both stubborn and cute.

"I thought it was more formal." Charlize shrugged, unable to make a mockery in his tone, but Adrian had no intention of arguing with her at this time, and immediately went with both hands: "Okay, dear, please She comes in."

The glamorous secretary assistant hummed softly, turned around and walked away, as always with a hard mouth. Soon, the knock on the door rang again, although the door did not close after Charlize left.

"Come in, Naomi, I will wait for you for a while." Adrian stood up and made a please gesture.

Naomi smiled rigorously, then came to the desk and sat down. She was wearing a white suit today. The whole person looked very energetic, with slender eyebrows, tall nose, and ruddy lips. , Nowhere is exquisite, apparently deliberately and carefully dressed, plus big * wave softly draped on the shoulders, slender legs wearing double-colored stockings, and five inches of high-heeled shoes, the whole person is scattered The **** style that only shu women have.

"Sorry, I'm a few minutes late." She smiled apologetically.

"It's okay, wait for the lady to be a virtue." Adrian smiled, "You are so beautiful today."

The tone of Naomi’s mouth was slightly bent with unabashed appreciation: "Thank you, you can call Nami, Ed."

"Okay, Nami." Adrian nodded, a flash of light flashed in her eyes, and then handed a document on the table to her: "I have something to talk about when you come here today. Let's take a look at this first. Right."

Naomi took it, only glanced at the cover, and her body shivered slightly. How could she not know what the other party gave herself. Fortunately, she quickly controlled her emotions, took a deep look at Adrian, and then flipped it up. In the next few dozen minutes, the office was quiet, except for Charlize who brought in coffee once, Naomi was always reading the script.

She didn’t read very fast, and she always turned pages after scenting. Although she sometimes frowned and showed doubtful eyes, she didn’t raise her head to ask. This made Adrian, who sat on the desk and looked at the document but looked at her secretly, very satisfied.

"I finished reading." After closing the script and closing his eyes, he exhaled and said, "I'm sorry, Ed, I didn't understand the story, except the heroine bought and murdered her same sex. Lovers."

"It's normal, I didn't intend to understand it." Adrian laughed. "You can take it back and spend two days reading it carefully. I need you to figure out the heroine's state of mind, and then we will come back." Discuss this story."

"You mean... you mean the heroine?" Naomi said hesitantly, breathing a little harder.

"Yes, I said, you are a very potential actor, so I arranged such a script, you starred in the heroine, I personally directed, completed the filming and editing within two months, and then participated in May The Cannes Film Festival, if they are willing, may give me another Golden Palm." When saying the last sentence, Adrian is quite an understatement, but no one can question his current achievements.

So Naomi lowered her head, her shoulders trembling slightly, she couldn’t blame her gaffe, but after more than a week of work, her life changed dramatically, and now it’s more in a movie directed by Director Miracle. As a heroine, what this means is self-evident.

"You will not let me down, right?" Adrian asked softly at this time.

"No~IndoMTL.com~ Absolutely not." Naomi raised her head and said in a rather firm tone, although her eyes were slightly red, but no tears fell, and then she stood up: "I will Take it back and figure it out."

"I look forward to your comments." Adrian stood up and said in an encouraging tone.

Naomi hesitated and suddenly lowered her voice: "Oh, Ed, I... can you please have dinner tonight?"

Adrian raised her eyebrows in surprise and did not answer.

"Just making some simple food in the apartment, you know that I am now...I just... want to express my gratitude..." Naomi said lower and lower, and her eyes looked away. There was a hint of shame.

"I'm happy to agree," Adrian smiled, a flash of light flashed in his eyes again, "but I'm sorry, I have a cocktail party tonight, so I might as well wait until the next time we discuss the script. It's just a few days."

Despite some disappointment, in his gentle eyes, Naomi nodded slightly at the corner of her mouth. . ...
