King of Hollywood Chapter 239: A quarrel about the adaptation

“The Benilon restaurant is the third part of the Opera House. Their Queensland drunk crab is the best in New South Wales, and it’s no worse than Queensland. This sounds interesting, doesn’t it? In short, it is the choice of many tourists to come here to taste Australian cuisine after watching an opera or listening to music." Sitting in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass windows, looking at the undulating seascape outside, Adrian sipping coffee listening Blanchett's commentary.

Blanchet today wears a ponytail and wears a gray long-sleeved jacket, still jeans and long boots, but the boots are flat. This makes her look capable, but because she is young she looks very energetic.

"In terms of appearance, the Sydney Opera House is like a big ship with open sails, so some people say that Jon? Wu Song was inspired by the boat. But some people said that he was inspired by the shell and came closer. If anything, this huge hull does not look like a sail. Unfortunately, they all guessed wrong, because Jon Usong personally admitted that the inspiration was derived from peeling half of the orange." Bran Chet said that the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and she had to admit that she was charming when she smiled.

"Thank you for your comment, Cate," Adrian said, holding up the coffee cup in his hand. "Inviting you to be a tour guide is indeed the right thing, otherwise I will definitely miss something."

"Actually, I don't like Sydney very much," Blanchett said suddenly. "The Opera House is the one I know the most, so if you want me to take you to other places, you will definitely be disappointed."

"Why?" Adrian was a little surprised.

"I was born in Melbourne, and I like the beautiful forests in many areas. Compared with the poor greening facilities in Sydney, Melbourne is a paradise. Of course, more is just instinctive dislike, like Some Sydney residents instinctively don't like Melbourne, a normal regional concept, don't they?" Blanchett laughed very cunningly, making it difficult for Adrian to tell whether it was true or false.

"Okay, Cate, can you give me an answer now?" Sipping coffee, he put the topic of last night out again.

"To be honest, in Shakespeare's four comedies, I prefer "Midsummer Night's Dream", which has a romantic fantasy. The "Twelfth Night" I just saw in the theater is a bit too realistic." Blanchett said in reply, she lowered her head and sipped the coffee, her eyes floating slightly.

"Cate" Adrian accentuated her name, "I will return to Los Angeles in a few hours."

Blanchet lowered her eyelids, crossed her hands, and constantly fiddled with her fingers. She seemed very contradictory. Adrian simply leaned forward and looked at her motionlessly.

"Do you like to stare at people like this, Ed?" The girl finally couldn't help but open her mouth, with a little annoyance and a little anger in the tone, "It was like yesterday, it is like this now."

"Oh, if this bothers you, I apologize," Adrian smiled and spread his hands. "In fact, many people have said this to me, always staring at others for non-stop. But , Please understand that a director can easily see the excitement and excitement when an actor suitable for the role appears. Please don’t question my vision and judgment, some actors are so special, you will know at a glance The other person is the person you want. I believe you also know me a little bit. I have never failed in this, so I sincerely hope you can... at least participate in the audition, okay?"

A little blush flew over Blanchett's face, hesitated for a long while before sighing with a bitter smile: "You know, Ed, just yesterday, I still swear to myself: Cate, you have to do the most A good stage actor. But at night, someone said to me: I have a suitable role, I hope you can audition and even star in. This person is still a Hollywood miracle director, oh god, this is only in the movie What happened only suddenly came to me, making people dizzy and confused... I need time to consider, Ed, I need time to think about it, what do I need..."

With a sigh, the two became silent, Blanchett lowered his head and stirred the coffee, and Adrian put his hands on the small table, looking at the seascape outside.

"Okay, I know," finally Adrian opened his mouth, he looked directly at Blanchett's eyes, "Whether you refuse or agree, please give me a call. In addition, if you refuse If it’s done, then I’ll seal the script and stop shooting.”

"What do you say...what?" Blanchett showed a shocked expression, "No more shooting?"

"Yes, instead of just looking for an actor, it would be better to leave it in the cupboard." Adrian shrugged, then he grabbed her hand: "Please don't think this is me Give you pressure, Cate, I just don’t want to make a film that is not so perfect, although this is not my direct, although this is only a commercial film, but... please forgive my attachment on this, please don’t worry about it On."

Looking at the bitter smile of Adrian, Blanchett could not help grasping his hand. After a long time, a smile appeared on her face again: "I promise I will seriously consider it, Ed."

"Great," Adrian said with a relieved look. "Okay, let’s talk about a light topic, or what other attractions should I visit before I leave Sydney?"

Although Blanchett did not give him an accurate answer, Adrian believes that she will come to Hollywood sooner or later. Stage play is not the best career for actors, and the Australian film industry is basically negligible, so Australian actors will either go to the United Kingdom or Hollywood to develop. Obviously, it is better to gain a foothold in Hollywood.

She would hesitate just because she was young and did not realize the importance of opportunity to actors, or she realized but had other considerations. After all, the two of them did not know each other for a day. It doesn't matter, Adrian can wait. If Blanchett really rejected the invitation, he wouldn't say anything. The script in his hand is sealed. Although this script is not from his hands, although this movie is also a box office movie, how about that? It's nothing more than money.

Which is important, career and woman? The answer is that women are more important under the influence of their careers. Don’t forget what kind of desires and ambitions Adrian had at the beginning. When these glorious and beautiful women on the screen are all held by him and owned by him, the pleasure of collecting is unparalleled.

Adrian understands what he wants from beginning to end, also knows how to achieve it from beginning to end, he has been in good control. Some women just have fun, but some women are worth keeping close by. Cate? Blanchett naturally belongs to the latter. She may not be a first-class beautiful woman, but the kind of cool and arrogant temperament is quite tasteful, even if this temperament is still very green, it is definitely a wonderful thing to conquer and tune such a woman.

Speaking of the name Cate, he will inevitably think of another woman. Although the spelling is different, the pronunciation is very similar. According to the information available, the harvest season is coming soon.

Adrian only took three and a half days to return to Los Angeles in Sydney. It’s not that he didn’t want to stay longer. After all, this is his “first time” to Australia, not to mention the temperament of Blanchett. Accompanied by beautiful women-if he asked her to go out, she would probably not refuse.

It’s just that there are still a lot of things to deal with in Los Angeles, such as the final work of "This Killer is not too cold", such as the promotion of "The Piano" with Lafferne, or Winston? Lum quarreled.

"Do you know what it means if you modify it, Ed? Gan's image is completely subverted and the whole story is no longer necessary." An old man with white temples shouted angrily in the office of Adrian. The waving arm and the squinting look clearly told the other party that it would never stop without giving a proper explanation.

"I think I made it very clear from the beginning, Winston," said Adrian behind the desk, watching him frown, "I'm going to adapt this novel into an inspirational movie, not a movie A film about metaphorical politics. He agreed at the time, so now why would he say that the whole story doesn't have to exist?"

"Yes, of course I promised, but I also emphasized that ~IndoMTL.com~ can't change Gan's character too much." Glum didn't calm down because of his words for a few seconds. Instead, he was more excited.

"Look at it, Ed, look at it." He whipped through the written script. "In my novel, Gan is both a genius and an idiot. He can be an astronaut or a garbage burner. And you changed him into a simple and mentally handicapped. I don’t object to you taking only the contents of the previous eleven chapters. After all, there are so many contents in the book that it is impossible to tell them all in two or three hours, but you Completely changed the character's character, how does this make me accept it?"

"Okay, Winston, calm down first, drink some water, and then we slowly say," Adrian pinched the bridge of his nose helplessly, "The quarrel does not solve the problem."

There have been several times before such a quarrel, and it has not been broken since the beginning of the adaptation of the novel. It was just on the phone before, Adrian wanted to control the quarrel on the phone, but I didn't expect that the old man, Glum, ran from Alabama, so now it became a quarrel in the office.

Adrian didn’t want to be tough, but the old man, Glum, was stubborn and strong, and he was soft and not hard. If he is really tough, he will definitely tear his face. Although he has been prepared for such a thing long ago, he should not take the initiative to do so unless it is a last resort. ()
