King of Hollywood Chapter 245: Guests

"Sorry, you are...You are Dennis Knight, right?" Joey looked at the man in front of him with a look of surprise.

"Yes, hello." Dennis reached out, "Are you here to audition?"

"Of course, I’m Joey, Joey Tribbiani," Joey shook hands enthusiastically with him, "I really like your movie, especially the character in "Pulp Fiction", you pierced for Mia That paragraph is so funny."

"Well...I think..." Dennis sniffed, "That should be the role of John Travolta."

"Is it?" Joey stayed with his mouth wide open for almost two or three seconds, and then embarrassed himself with a big smile and slapped Dennis slap hard. "Anyway, you are still great."

"Thank you." Dennis rolled his eyes and walked inside.

"You too... right?" Joey then called him cheeky again, "If you can..."

"You can play a little more, exaggerate a little, like take off your shirt or something," Dennis replied perfunctoryly.

So, when the assistant announced that he would come in next time, Joey couldn’t wait to jump in, and then didn’t wait for the Adrian sitting in the chair to speak, hissing his clothes naked and the sturdy upper body began to “dance”. , From time to time, he propped up his lower body, waving his arms, as if intoxicated.

Everyone was stunned. The assistants who participated in the audition covered their faces. Dennis turned his head to the side. He didn't expect that he would take this guy seriously for a few words. Although Adrian's mouth twitched straight, he didn't say anything. Until Joey stopped his head to make a "sultry" action, he frowned and glared at him and asked, "Who the **** are you?" "

I turned my head and asked my assistant: "This character is a stripper, yes, but I didn’t ask you to find a real stripper"

The voice of the director came out of "Cut", "Ed, you glanced at the camera just now."

"Look again?" Adrian raised her hands helplessly, "Aren't you intentional, Brinkley?"

"Hey, so many people are watching here, Ed." Blinkley, the TV director who is the director of this episode, laughed, and the people around him also laughed.

"God, do I have to jump like this again?" Matt LeBron, who played Joey, lamented.

"It's okay, Joey, you dance so well." Jennifer and others whistled outside the court.

"Hey, why didn't you just jump here once." LeBron said dissatisfiedly.

"Because the director and the screenwriter only arranged for you to jump," Dennis said, patting his shoulder comfortably, "Jane, they are right, you did dance very well, you can use this if you don't play in the future. Make a living."

"You guys, what a compliment?" LeBron punched them immediately.

"Okay, gentlemen, can you give me a few minutes to adjust? Don't be too harsh on the newcomer." Adrian inserted with a sigh. Directing is one thing, acting is another. Although he can change roles casually in life, it does not mean that he can be so comfortable in front of the camera. And some habits will inevitably affect him, for example, knowing that it is not good to look at the lens, but when shooting, it is still inevitable to take a subconscious look, because he is a director himself.

"It must be admitted that the actors are not so easy to do." Adrian said to Dennis this way.

"It's not easy." Dennis, who was drinking water, sighed, looking at the six protagonists who were talking and laughing a little bit depressed.

It’s no wonder that at the beginning, his drama was not like this. The screenwriters arranged for him almost two episodes. He will play as a **** who seduce Rachel. As a result, Rose was mixed with good things. But Adrian specifically named when he promised a cameo, and asked Dennis to act as a guest with him.

"After all, we have been cooperating for so long, how much can you guide me." Adrian said so at the time, and did not conceal his attitude of "just to pull you into the water". Of course Dennis will not refuse, there is now this scene.

"Different, actors can switch to directors after a long period of accumulation, such as the old guy Clint Eastwood. How many directors can act as actors after a long period of accumulation? Even Wu Di Allen, also a colleague who is an actor and director." Adrian said, took a drink and took a sip, then looked at Jennifer and others in the distance, "actors like Matt and Jane who have played the same role for a long time , Xilu is very easy to be fixed to death, so in the future it is best to turn to be behind the scenes."

"Playing the same role for a long time? How long?" Dennis asked half-jokingly.

"Almost ten years." Adrian shrugged. "You know, the ratings of "Friends" are quite high. It can be said that it is the hottest TV series at the moment, so as long as this momentum is maintained, there will be no major mistakes. Ten seasons should not be a problem."

"Wow, this is...it's really amazing." Dennis said flusterly. He certainly wouldn't doubt Adrian. From recognition to the present, Adrian's judgment has never been wrong, but if it is true... …

Jennifer looked at him not far away with a complex expression, and he chatted cheerfully with a few friends. Adrian, who looked at Dennis's expression, thoughtfully touched his chin, but then shook his head and stopped thinking about it.

Although Adrian’s acting in front of the camera is not very good, after all, there are not many scenes, so it took a whole afternoon to finish it successfully. To this end, all the crew members applauded warmly after the last shot was completed. As for encouragement or ridicule, it depends on the applauders.

After this episode of "Friends" was aired, the already high viewership jumped a few percentage points upwards. Joey’s performance was so funny, and there were two lines for men and women in each episode. The story of Jennifer is also very interesting and warm, and is naturally sought after by people who already like this TV series.

Of course, the guest appearances of Adrian and Dennis are also one of the reasons. Needless to say, Dennis, the media now calls him an excellent young man who can play any role, and has a lot of popularity. As for Adrian, although he has also appeared in the media several times and has the title of miracle director, it is still a bit of mystery in front of the public relative to the big star who always stands in the foreground. In addition, the relationship between the two, and the initial fun encounter, have been widely reported by the media. Such a cameo combination does not attract the eye. That is to see the ghost.

But this is all going to happen now. It’s only in early November. This episode is the penultimate episode of the first season, so it must be at least one month later, that is, the two weeks at the end of December. Will be released.

After finishing the guest appearance in "Friends", Adrian was transferred to the movie again. At present, the most talked about movie-to be precise, the most sought-after literary movie-is "The Piano" directed by Campion, which has just been released in the United States. Because it is a small-cost independent film, although a lot of trailers have been put in, a lot of publicity has been done, and the Venice Golden Lion Award has been a gimmick, and there is still no premiere. But many long-awaited critics have praised the movie, especially female critics.

"This is a beautiful work that reflects the awakening of female consciousness. Campion made a perfect interpretation from the body and the mind."

"A poignant and intoxicating love story, Campion uses her unique method to describe the various feelings that women show when they confront the collision of reason and emotion."

"Holly Hunt successfully performed a beautiful but dumb female image with a soft heart and firm eyes. Campion made a terrific attempt."

Such praises abound, and as previously said, the production of such films by female directors always has appetites for critics, especially those feminist supremacists.

With such a word of mouth, coupled with the previous publicity, the box office will naturally not be any worse, and the box office in the first week of the week was $3 million. It may seem a bit shabby, but compared with the theaters, this number is not small, because less than 200 theaters are showing "The Piano" in the first week.

Of course, this result is not good. If the promotion cost is included, the cost of the movie is almost more than 13 million. If you want to make money at the box office, you must get at least 40 million. This is also something that can’t be done. The owners of the theater are smart businessmen. They will not easily provide more resources for a niche movie, even if it is a cult type movie with a relatively fixed audience~IndoMTL.com~ The same is true of niche movies directed by big directors.

Generally speaking, unless it is a particularly well-known B-level movie, it can win about 1,000 theaters when it is released in the first week. Women’s niche films directed by women like “The Piano” can be released in nearly 200 movie theaters in the first week. No one can control, because this is determined by the market.

But it doesn’t matter, as long as the film’s performance is good enough, the number of movie theaters will gradually increase. Although it will not reach the point of large production, it can be recovered through long-term screening, just like "Pulp Fiction" It was released for almost half a year.

"The Piano" can get a box office of US$3 million with nearly 200 theaters, which has proved to be commercially valuable. What's more, with the current word-of-mouth, the finalist Oscar is almost certainly a thing. This alone can add a lot of gimmicks. If you can get the best movie, it will definitely increase the box office a lot. In the history of Oscars, there have been many movies with a big increase in box office because of the best movies.

It’s just a pity that the best films and best directors of this year’s Oscars have been packaged. With the efforts of many people, “Schindler’s List” has begun to be comprehensive from various channels. Into the sight of Americans.
