King of Hollywood Chapter 21: Back to Washington
The neatly dressed waiters walked back and forth in the lobby, responding to the guests' greetings, the smiles that always hung on the face, and the polite manners, all interpreting the elegance and chic of this restaurant. Although the crystal chandelier hangs on the ceiling, the light is not so strong, which makes the restaurant more atmosphere. The band above the dance floor often plays some soothing old songs, and there are singers singing from time to time, it looks very emotional.
On a dining table against the wall to the east, men and women sitting face-to-face are chatting lightly, with real grin from time to time. A woman with her hair tangled up and a thick bangs in her front, wearing a white dress with a high V-neck, her white neck is barely exposed, and she is incomparably elegant in her delicate beauty. The delicate face seems to be made of ceramic. The man in formal attire, quite handsome, always has a gentle smile on his face, but in this gentleness, there is a trace of uninhibited uninhibited, the voice is low and magnetic, and it is also quite charming.
Some veteran waiters know the elegant and charming woman. In fact, every French man should know. Sophie Marceau did not know the man sitting opposite her, but watched them talk Very happy, it should be a very close friend, maybe even... Of course, this idea will go out in the waiter's head and will go out. As the most famous restaurant in Paris, Alain Ducasse, they have all suffered. Strict training, knowing what to remember and what to forget, what to say and what not to say, which is why the celebrities in Paris like to come here to dine.
"Okay, I admit that this is very interesting, you should be satisfied now?" Sophie said in a helpless tone.
"It sounds like a warning, whether you are satisfied or dissatisfied, you have to be satisfied." Adrian said with a smile, and then took a drink from the glass, "So I am very satisfied now."
"So what do you think I should say? I have admitted that it is very interesting, or..." Sophie's eyes suddenly bent, the previous helplessness was obviously intentional, but this sentence did not say At the end, she seemed to think of something. For a while, she couldn't speak for a while, and her smile became slightly stiff.
"Or what?" asked Adrian indifferently.
"Nothing, I just suddenly thought that the seats at Ducasse restaurant are not easy to book, at least one day in advance," Sophie smiled, and it was quite natural to change the subject. "So... You were premeditated, right?"
"Of course," Adrian readily admits this. "If I said, if I sit in front of you and never invite you, I will definitely regret it for a long time. Now, it seems that the goddess of luck is still very concerned about me."
"What if I refused then?" Sophie said with interest.
"Then get back." Adrian was slightly surprised, and didn't seem to understand how she asked this question.
Sophie immediately showed a sudden look, then shook her head with a smile, a lonely stroke across her face.
"You don't seem to be happy, do you have any concerns?" Adrian then asked again.
"Obviously?" Sophie did not deny it.
"No, if you don't look closely, you won't see it." Adrian shrugged, Sophie smiled and didn't speak,
"I don't want to say anything to be happy. There are still many beautiful things in life. I believe that many people have already told you this, but I hope you will like this next thing." He said immediately.
"What is it?" Sophie's curiosity was suddenly picked up by him. Adrian smiled and did not speak, but just made a gesture to call the waiter to whisper a few words, and then stood up: "Sorry, miss it."
He took a few steps to the band above the dance floor, and the pianist immediately got up and gave way. Adrian walked forward and knocked on the microphone. The sudden sound suddenly attracted most of the guests.
"I want to give the next song to my friend. I hope she will be happy forever, just like the original one." Adrian said with a smile, owed to everyone, he sat in front of the piano When he came down, he raised his hands and pressed the keys.
The soft music of Rushui sounded. Sophie sitting in the seat covered her mouth for the first time. The melody was so familiar, how could she not hear it.
"ze, rever..." Adrian began to sing, maybe not as smart as Richard Sanderson, nor as skillful as professional singers, but with a magnetic voice that makes this song different This kind of taste, coupled with the complete accompaniment by the piano, has an indescribable sense of harmony. "Ty", this is the name of the song, but also the theme song of Sophie's debut "The Party".
Although it has been more than ten years, this song is still so beautiful. Sophie looked at the Adrian he was singing and listened to this song. For a while, he was a little crazy.
The car stopped outside the apartment. The two of them didn't speak, so they sat in their seats. They are like this after coming out of the restaurant, maintaining a subtle atmosphere between each other.
"I don't know that you can still play the piano, and it plays so well, and the song is also good." Sophie finally opened her eyes, looking at the outside of the party windshield, with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, it seemed What are you remembering?
"Thank you, to be honest, at the beginning I was always worried that everyone would shove me down." Adrian said half-jokingly, knowing that after the song, the applause in the restaurant was almost He was almost drowned.
"This made me sound when I first released the record, the first single got a good response, but after the album was released, it was very bleak." Sophie, who told the past, smiled with a quiet smile And a pretty, more charming.
She immediately recovered and opened the door: "Thank you for sending me back, Ed."
"You are welcome, sending women home is what every man should do." Adrian also walked down from the other side, and then sent Sophie to the front of the apartment.
"So, this is a wonderful night." Sophie stood by the door saying this, but her hands were constantly fiddled with the keychain, and the clatter of metal collisions continued, but It is not particularly obvious.
Adrian watched her not speaking, but suddenly leaned forward slightly, Sophie certainly understood what he meant, but just looked at him with bright eyes and did not mean to avoid. Then he grabbed her beautiful face, leaned over and touched her ruddy lips gently, did nothing, and left immediately.
"You are right, Sophie, this is a wonderful night, I will always remember this night." Adrian said looking at her with a smile, and then pushed away a few steps and the gentleman owed him: "Good night, be a good night A good dream."
After he finished, he left the car without looking back. Sophie kept watching the car disappear on the street before turning around and covering his hot face with a low sigh and touching his own. Her lips seemed to reminisce, and she opened the door and entered the apartment.
Adrian, who has gone away, also touched his lips. Although he only touched it, the soft touch still makes people nostalgic. If he does not have enough self-control, he may have embraced Sophie. stand up.
Adrian believes that if he insists, it is not difficult to enter Sophie's room tonight. French women are much more romantic. But if you really want to do this, then they have reached the point where they might push her back to Poland, which is not the result he wants to see.
Youwu, if you want Adrian to describe Sophie? Marceau, it’s definitely the word that jumped out of your head first. In his previous life, Sophie, who was in his forties, still had a charm, not to mention the golden age of women. Sexy, mature, elegant, and with a little mystery, plus the remaining purity, how can it not attract the eyes of men, but for Adrian old water, the income is obviously better than the one-night stand.
This is not a very difficult thing-at least for Adrian-as he said earlier, what the media sees is what they want you to see, behind the camera What it looks like, what happened, outsiders will never know. You said there are paparazzi? No kidding, paparazzi can indeed follow the stars 24 hours a day, but maybe this is the case every day 365 days? And in terms of what they like to exaggerate, it is enough to look at gossip at best. If you want to distinguish some information from it, it is difficult.
The test of Adrian is the best proof. Everything he discovered in the afternoon and evening was planned by him. He took every step into consideration. Even when he was in the United States, he re-arranged "ty". To play on the piano more appropriately. Although the plan was good and unexpected things happened, but fortunately, everything went well today, and he left Sophie a deep impression this evening.
Although the time is only half a day and half a night, Adrian has touched Sophie's heart somewhat. As he combined with the information, he is now the best opportunity to intervene. Some things are not different because of different people. At best, it is only a matter of how much, especially women in the entertainment industry. They on the movie screen do not represent them in life. As long as there is desire, there will be weaknesses, as long as there are weaknesses. Can be used.
Monica and Julia will stay with Adrian, not just because of feelings. Of course, there are definitely feelings. After all, Adrian is gentle and considerate to every woman, and will coax and understand their thoughts. How can there be no feelings. But this is not an absolute factor. In addition to feelings, he can give them a lot of things, which is simply a benefit.
To put it more bluntly, that is, Adrian gave them a good but unequal contract-equal contracts must be built on the basis of equivalence of strength, and now they have to ask for him. Maybe expect this? In short, they signed this contract, although there is nothing in the text, but they must abide by the sign.
Of course, this is only an analysis from the perspective of interests, and some things can not be said on the surface, only to be able to speak. Besides, man is a very complicated creature. Every woman around him is different in details, and these details sometimes affect the overall situation. For example, for Cate, Charlize, and Sarah, the relationship is more important than important.
So, under what circumstances will Sophie Marceau, a beautiful and beautiful woman, fall into her own hands? Thinking about it makes people look forward to it. Although Adrian thought so, he put it behind him temporarily after returning to the hotel. When you are here in Japan, don’t rush to this moment, "Brave Heart" will not start shooting until a few months later.
This kind of movie depicting medieval Europe, as well as grand war scenes, the pre-preparation is quite long. It takes a long time to produce clothing and props, not to mention that most of the shots were taken in the UK It is also necessary to rent a shooting site and build a set under the guidance of experts. None of these details can go wrong, although it cannot be 100%, but at least not as some movies in Adrian memory, making costume movies but do not even know what clothes to wear in what era.
Of course, this is not a big deal, anyway, the male and female protagonists have been determined. Originally, the actor wanted to invite Kevin Costner, and even wanted to give him the guide tube at the very beginning, but this guy was busy with his "Future Water World" destined to lose money, so Finally, forget it. Adrian also decided to direct by himself, as for the actor, he quickly found a suitable candidate.
It’s all about handing over the work to professionals. He only needs to check the report after a while, and then give his opinions. Now, let’s talk about the movie being produced. Therefore, Adrian left Paris by private plane the next day, and then flew straight to Washington. After falling a little jet lag, he arrived at the crew of "Forrest Gump" on June 9.
This film only has the location in Washington, anti-war demonstrations, the reunion of Forrest Gump and Jenny, met Lieutenant Dan after awarding, etc., almost dozens of shots. It was precisely because of this that he would be assured of going to London, and then returning from Prague and Paris in such a circle, it took about ten days for Rao to do so.
"I have never met a director like you, and I left the unfinished movie and ran to Europe for a vacation alone, which is really ridiculous." Tom Hanks complained, of course, this is basically Are kidding.
Adrian is also clear, so immediately jokingly asked: "Okay, I apologize, then Tommy, how do you think I should compensate you? How about putting you on another week’s leave?"
After talking, both of them laughed.
"Everyone is paying attention, ready to start shooting" Although it took only half a day to adjust, when the Adrian picked up the microphone speaker and started shouting to the crowd, the state immediately returned to him.
A temporary actor of about 1500 people, under his command, squeezed into the introspection pool and the front of the built podium in the 1960s and 1970s. The black head, which looked quite shocking, attracted a lot of tourists. Fortunately, there were police around to help maintain order.
Only more than 1,000 people have this momentum, and it will increase by about ten times during post-production. I can imagine how huge the anti-war demonstration game was. But this does not mean that A-Gump will have a definite opinion on the Vietnam War in the movie, although there are some lines of this speech in the script: Sometimes when going to Vietnam, some people will lose his legs, some people will not be able to return home , This is bad, this is what I want to say.
But in the movie, there will be a policeman coming out to make trouble and unplug the microphone, so people around will only hear the beginning sentence "sometimes go to Vietnam". When the person in charge of the demonstration drove away the police and reconnected the microphone to the line, the people around would only hear the last sentence "This is what I want to say."
It’s a clever arrangement, isn’t it? Even after entering the 21st century, not everyone in mainstream society believes that the Vietnam War is bad, so it is necessary to please both sides ingeniously. Besides, as a current soldier, A-Gump even knew that he was a fool, even if he didn’t know what the demonstration was, it was not appropriate to give an anti-war speech in front of the public. The possibility of trouble.
Such plots that can benefit both sides are everywhere in the movie, and they are very delicate. No wonder some people will say that this is a typical movie that promotes American values.
Okay, I went back to the shooting site. In this way, the plot was somewhat cold. The protesters were full of desire to hear some strong criticism of the government, but they didn’t hear anything at the end, although A-Gump hosted When people heard it, they thought he was right and helped to adjust the atmosphere, but the disappointment in people's hearts was still inevitable.
So Jenny came out next, jumped into the introspection pool, all the way to the side of the podium, then excited A-Gump also jumped off the podium and rushed into the pool, the two were tight in the water Embrace each other, so romantic and so meaningful-the young soldier who came back from the battlefield in Vietnam and his anti-war girlfriend met-suddenly attracted warm applause from the demonstrators ~ IndoMTL.com ~ in the middle of the shooting, not only The extras applauded, and some tourists who sneaked in also applauded. There is no way. The space from the Washington Monument to the introspection pool is too wide. Even if there are staff and police to maintain order, they cannot keep everyone out. Fortunately, they have not caused any disturbance.
Although this lens is very popular, it took almost two days to complete. It’s either wrong here or bad, and shooting from all angles has caused the two actors to suffer a little bit.
"Fortunately, at least it has been completed, Charlie, how much more next?" Adrian asked the girl next to him after watching the monitor.
"Meeting with Lieutenant Dan." Charlize quickly gave the answer.
"Could you please call me Ray?" Adrian just smiled at her when she thought of it, "Forget it, or I'm fine, you need to rest."
Charlize glared at him fiercely, but still suppressed his emotions, sitting in a depressed position without moving.
