King of Hollywood Chapter 23: The summer vacation is here

"Sometimes, only when you stand on a high ground and look down at the earth, you will find how vast the world is, so your mind will become unconsciously widened." Adrian said while looking away I picked it up from outside the window and landed on Gwyneth’s face with a little freckles but it was very tasteful, "But not now, because there are only clouds outside, and after the plane descends to the troposphere In order to see the earth, so I prefer to look at you."

Gwyneth smiled slightly and said nothing. Compared to that day in the suburbs of New York, she had put on a black dress, to the knee dress, silk jacket, pointed shoes, slightly curvy hair from The sides of her face hung down to cover up the shortcomings of her face, and after careful dressing, she looked more temperamental.

"I am serious, Gwinnie, I haven't seen you become more and more beautiful in a few weeks," Adrian's eyes looked at him without blinking, with an unabashed appreciation, "It is more in line with me Original idea."

"Really?" Gwyneth's eyes suddenly lighted up, and she realized what she was doing. After coughing, she said in disguise: "Probably because during this time, I have been thinking about how to change In line with Tracy’s image."

Adrian laughed secretly in his heart, lowered his head to drink coffee and pretended not to see it. She was still too tender, just like the day before yesterday, when Adrian said that she was about to return to Los Angeles, Gwyneth suddenly said in a surprised tone: "Really, I will go back soon. The meaning It is too obvious.

On this kind of thing, you can't ask a girl who is 21 years old and more than three months old to do better. Besides, Adrian also understands why she is so urgent. After making a guest appearance with the young girl Wendy in Captain Hook in his godfather in 1991, Gwyneth has participated in almost five works in just two years. Like a stone thrown into the sea, even the spray did not splash. The worst situation in the entertainment industry is not bad reviews, but no one realizes your existence at all

Actually, in the memory of Adrian, she should have a piece of work that was rated quite well last year, but perhaps because of the butterfly effect, Gwyneth doesn’t get that role right now, so let him account for it Great cheap.

In short, the man who is known as a director of miracles now gave her a chance, and vowed to declare that she had a wonderful idea because of her, even if he has signed the contract of three films, for a eager to become famous For young girls eager to prove their desire to get rid of the influence of their parents and godfathers, this opportunity must be grasped more firmly.

It's very clear how can Adrian refuse? Even if Gwyneth did so obviously, she was immediately invited to go back on her private plane. I have to say that the name "Miracle Director" is really easy to use. At the beginning, this step was very successful.

"Have we had three movies about right? Next year I have a major production that will start in the UK, a war movie about medieval Scotland fighting for independence," Adrian said suddenly, listening to the look of Gwyneth. A slight movement, but a flash of doubt soon flashed, "At the same time I plan to make a medium-cost movie in the UK, a movie adapted from Jane Austen's novel, I hope you can star in the heroine."

"Adapted from... Jane? Austin's novel?" Gwyneth looked at him in disbelief, which was completely unexpected and made her stunned in the seat, not knowing what to do. Suitable.

In the beginning, she thought that Adrian was going to invite a role in that big production, but it is impossible to think about it. She is a native American girl. How can she be suitable for acting as a British woman in the Middle Ages? But then he told her that at the same time there was a film based on Jane Austen's novel to be filmed, and then asked her to be the heroine... It was incredible.

"Are you all directed?" Gwyneth asked the ghost, so when she realized that it was wrong, Adrian had already answered his question: "Yes, I directed it."

This is another unexpected answer.

"I need about three months to shoot the first movie, and the second one, if everyone is doing well, it will be about six weeks." Adrian said.

"Make a war movie in three months?" This sentence was only exported. Gwyneth realized that she had said stupid things again. Although she kept calm on the surface, she regretted it, hoping that Adrian would not be so. **** off.

Adrian certainly won’t. He smiled empathically: "This is a normal reaction, but I am different from other directors and producers. Two years ago, I could make three movies in one year. Released, it can be done now."

"So, why do you think I'm suitable for acting as the heroine in Austin's novel, Ed?" Gwyneth hastily shifted the topic, which is exactly what she wanted to ask.

"This is what I said at the beginning, Gwennie." Adrian's smile became somewhat unpredictable, and her dark eyes watched her wink without blinking, giving Gwennis a strange feeling in her heart. feel.

"I have seen all the works you have participated in so far. What I want to say is that those producers are idiots, they simply don't realize what kind of charm you have" said, he showed a disdain The expression seemed very dissatisfied with those people.

Immediately, Adrian looked at Gwyneth again with a serious and earnest look: "Your elegance and temperament are very suitable for such a role, Gwyneth, you will never lose to those British women. Think about it , A native American girl who perfectly performed a British-style female character. What a surprise."

"Perfect interpretation of a British-style female character?" Gwyneth opened her grey and green eyes, revealing an incredible look. Her emotions were completely following the other party, "Can I?"

"Of course, I said yes, then you must be, I will never look away." Adrian said proudly, the kind of strong self-confidence in the look made people unable to question.

He was... so charming Gwyneth suddenly said this in her heart, then lowered her head and took a deep breath.

"Do you believe me, Gwinnie?" Adrian's voice rang in his ear again.

"Of course." A smile appeared on Gwyneth's pretty face.

She has done so many things, all she wants is this, how could she refuse? Moreover, he is humorous, funny, gentle and considerate, and full of charm. The original approach was really correct.

"Call me when you have time." After the plane fought against Los Angeles, Adrian drove Gwyneth back to the apartment, and she finally hugged him and kissed him. The two lingered at the door for a long time before they separated. She looked at him with emotion and said so.

"I will." Adrian kissed her lips again, gave her another hug and watched her enter the room.

Gwyneth stretched out her breath and took a breath. She sat down on the sofa and giggled. At this moment, she completely forgot about the rumors about Adrian and the female secretary who always followed him.

I'm very good at acting, and I have some scheming, but it's also naive. This is Adrian's comment to Gwyneth on the way back. If he wanted to hug her to bed, it would be as early as New York. When he came back from the suburbs and invited Gwyneth to dinner together and sent her back to the hotel room, Adrian tried it a little, and she did not mean to refuse. And just now, if he wants to enter her apartment, she will definitely agree, but...

It's not yet time. Adrian said to himself in his heart. Although he was the same when he and Sophie were dating in Paris, Sophie and Gwyneth were not the same. There was still a lot of trouble to get Sophie, and half of Gwyneth had fallen into it. In his hands.

But if you want to master it completely, patience is essential. For example, even if Blanchett returns to Melbourne, Adrian still keeps in touch with her, is it sweet talk on the phone, or in the letter Talk about missing. But unlike Blanchett, Gwyneth took the initiative to find herself, but at the same time it was not particularly determined, so suspending her appetite properly would allow her to get closer.

Of course, there is another reason that Adrian has been dating for a long time. The little girl called on the film and used her unique indifferent tone to warn: If you don’t make an appointment, then forget it.

Adrian will not let the food that is almost ready to slip away so inexplicably, so this has become one of his important tasks after returning to Los Angeles. It seems that he is a little inseparable. In fact, it is not difficult to arrange it reasonably. Moreover, he also has a secretary with outstanding ability. Besides, are these not the things he likes to pursue?

However, it has been delayed for several weeks anyway, and I don’t care about delaying for a few more days. First of all, I will deal with the matter at work first. Whichever is more important, Adrian is still clearly divided. And you can also observe more, whether it is fun to play or it is worth the effort to include it in the collection.

So, after he returned to Los Angeles to adjust his work schedule, the first thing was to go to the post-editing room of "Forrest Gump".

The person responsible for the preliminary editing is no longer Kant Pan or Francis Bruce, who has worked with him before. This time he chose Arthur Schmidt, who is very good at fusion editing. This editor is relatively comparable in Hollywood. The top characters have done this method of editing movie characters into historical data images before.

As long as Adrian had exchanged views with each other by phone, this part of the editing work began as early as he went to London-Adrian will not let go of any available time, otherwise he will How could it be possible to produce three movies a year? Others can only cooperate as much as possible. This is the advantage of having great power.

"The lip style here is incorrect and must be modified," Adrian said, pointing to the screen. In the black and white picture, John F. Kennedy was shaking hands with the players selected for the college football star team, "He is a northerner and is It’s Irish, so when he says, “It sounds like he’s talking about wanting to pee,” his mouth should look rounder.”

He said he stopped here, and after a little gestation, he deliberately imitated Kennedy's accent and said: "It sounds like he is saying he wants to pee-so you understand, Rick?"

Rick Baker thought for a few minutes while touching his chin, then glanced at the editor Schmidt next to him, and then turned the image back, stopping where Kennedy shook hands with A-Gump.

"It is not so easy to modify here. If the mouth is slightly increased, the whole picture may be distorted, so..." He then transferred the original material on another machine, pointing at the pictures. Speaking of, "If you insist, my suggestion is to re-edit these shots and add the Kennedy side image, so it will be much more convenient to adjust the mouth."

Then Baker spread his hands and looked at Adrian and then Schmidt.

"No problem, I can use this lens to re-edit." Shimi said his head, but his eyes turned to Adrian.

"Just do it according to your ideas, as long as it does not affect what you want to express, so far I am very satisfied." Adrian made a gesture, instructing them to do it with confidence.

Most of the post-editing of "Forrest Gump" is similar to other movies, but it has strict requirements for key places, because it is very troublesome to produce. Just like now, when the image of Hanks is put into historical video materials and the character's mouth is modified to correspond to it, then it is not only the work of the editor, but also the participation of the special effects artist. As one of the most important aspects of this movie, it would be too bad if something goes wrong.

So when editing these shots, Adrian must be supervised on the spot so that problems can be discovered and modified in time. If it takes another four or five years, it will be much simpler to make such special effects, but it is a bit troublesome now.

Schmidt also knew the importance of this matter, so they did not complain.

Fortunately, there are not too many of these lenses, so the Adrian does not need to stay in the workroom anytime and anywhere. However, in addition to this matter, there are some things that are also very important. As the middle of June passed, the summer vacation came to North America again. As one of the most important movie schedules, big productions with the purpose of making money are about to be released. There are three productions that will be released by the media directly related to Adrian, so he has to participate in all three premieres.

The first release is "Real Lies" directed and produced by James Cameron, which has been waiting for almost half a year. This action movie starring Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jamie Lee Curtis has reached US$100 million. Even if it is put in the 21st century, it is still a big investment. Whether it is 20th Century Fox or Adrian, it is clear that if you want to recoup your investment, it is best to put the movie on the summer vacation.

There were many celebrities on the day of the premiere, not only a lot of people in the circle, but also a lot of people outside the circle. Just think about who Schwarzenegger’s wife is and what his ambitions are. However, compared with Schwarzenegger, who was relying on his wife at the premiere, James Cameron, a director and producer, was somewhat mixed, even though many people who participated in the audition congratulated him on this. The movie is definitely selling at the box office, and it doesn't make him feel much better.

The good news is that this "Real Lies" has finally been released. Although it is a little late, it has been fully publicized. He is confident that the movie will be able to sell at the box office. What worries him, however, is that he doesn't know what he has to do to satisfy Adrian. He has never forgotten the promise Adrian gave him after he came out of the bar that day.

After nearly forty years, James Cameron's success-especially the "Terminator 2" ​​big sale and amazing special effects, made him among the best-in-class directors-except for a few Outside of the more respected people, other directors and producers are rarely seen in the eyes. Although he can talk to these people at parties and receptions, there is always a kind of commercial movie production in my heart. The spirit of it, let alone those young people.

However, Adrian? Kewell is an exception, the other party gave him a deep impression at the first meeting.

"In my opinion, the name James Cameron is worth my investment." He said that at the time.

This is Cameron, although he has heard a lot of praise, but this sentence is undoubtedly the most appetizing for him. Of course, at that time, Adrian was just a young director who had just been in charge of the guide tube. The acquired film company began to improve, so he didn’t pay much attention to it. IndoMTL.com~ was just thinking about investing in "Terminator 2".

But as time passed, Cameron liked the young man more and more after the exchange between the two began. Adrian is like a roundworm in his stomach. When talking about movie topics, he always meets his appetite. . And there is no concealment of appreciation for him. The "Real Lies" that will be released immediately is the best example. Not only did he give ideas, he also brought 20th Century Fox to invest, and he gave all the production power to him. Carmel How could Long not like him.

At the same time, in just a few years, Adrian has become more and more eye-catching. From ghost director to wizard director to miracle director, there is an amazing leap in it. Although Cameron disagreed with non-commercial movies, he also had to admit that Adrian is very powerful. It can shoot any kind of theme, and the speed of shooting is very fast and proportional to the quality. Dull literary and artistic films can also make money. Coupled with his vision, the title of Miracle Director is well-deserved.

Because of this, Cameron was very curious about the original promise. He wanted to know what kind of miracle Adrian intends to create. Although the other party didn't say it clearly, he still heard something, that is, the investment will never be lower than the current movie. For Cameron, who likes to burn money and special effects, this is too appetizing for him. So when Adrian later added a condition as long as "True Lies" satisfied him, he began to wonder what was the satisfaction.
