King of Hollywood Chapter 25: Start shooting again

"Memento", this is the new work of Adrian. After Guy Ritchie, he extended his black hand to Christopher Nolan, the director who has the most storytelling in the 21st century!

　　 This Nolan movie produced in 2000 burned the brain cells of many fans at that time. The whole story is actually not complicated and not too brilliant, but it turned into a person under the editing of Nolan. All kinds of aftertaste movies.

　　The movie has two clues, one flashback, which is described by color lenses; The two shots will appear interchangeably every 5 minutes, and they will be fused together at the end to show that the beginning is both the end and the beginning. Such a staggering and dazzling expression, plus each lens has a lot of details-for example, when Leonard is talking about an insurance customer with the same short-term amnesia, the lens in the wheelchair is a little Fat middle-aged man, but when the nurse walked past the patient and the camera switched, the man in the wheelchair became Leonard himself!

　　Adrian didn’t notice this when he watched it for the first time. The camera switched too fast, and there were a lot of clues that made him too late to analyze. Finally, he watched it two or three times before he noticed it. The movie is very impressive.

　　In short, people are impressed by this, although the complicated clues made the movie only earn about 40 million at the box office-the cost of 5 million is still a big profit-but it has won a very high reputation. Nolan has thus established its position in Hollywood. Adrian has heard such a comment in the previous life. If Spielberg is the most storytelling director at the end of the 20th century, then the most storytelling director at the beginning of the 21st century is undoubtedly Nolan! As mentioned before, the quality of the story itself is important, but the method of telling the story is also important.

　　 Therefore, Adrian chose this movie as his second work without hesitation. As for Nolan, I can only say sorry. Making this decision didn't make him uneasy or anything, as he said when he first wrote the script, he didn't care anymore after experiencing too many things. Adrian is very clear that if 99% of the people in this world face the situation they are now-there is a movie library in their head, mastering certain shooting and production skills, knowing many things in the future, and having start-up funds-will Make the same choice as yourself.

　　 Soon after, the Halloween in 1990 passed, and "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels", which has attracted a lot of attention in the movie market, went offline, and the box office in the early US$40 million was also taken away. Three days later, the British side also went offline. The box office nearly hit the British box office record of around 30 million pounds. Coupled with several other European countries that have just been released, the global box office may be close to 100 million!

　　 But in the early 1990s, the US dollar was far more valuable than 20 years later, although Hollywood has no shortage of low-cost and high-gross movies that can be rewarded like this in 1:90. This was a result that surprised many people. Even Adrian was surprised at the beginning. Since he chose this movie as his debut, he naturally recalled the relevant information clearly. This movie has more than 2,000 at the box office in the UK. The box office in the United States is only a few million in the United States. The box office in North America is now more than 100 times, which is really incredible.

　　Think about it, and he was relieved. The United States has a very interesting feature. Most of the movies that are not produced in North America do not have too high box office here. Americans seem not interested in movies from other countries. This is not surprising. As early as the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, the North American film market was occupied by European films, and people went after French and Italian films. In the end, the US government had to issue a decree prohibiting theaters from playing European movies and then vigorously supporting local movies. This led to the rise of Hollywood. In the past hundred years, with the continuous growth of national power and the development of Hollywood's film industry, Americans naturally became proud of themselves, so that they did not take films from other countries into perspective.

　　This is the biggest advantage of Adrian compared to Guy Ritchie. He is an American, he has his own film company, he also has a very good general manager, not to mention also participated in the Venice Film Festival. Best Virgin Award. In addition, it is also very important, it is now 1990! This kind of film with a lot of information and multi-line narrative, but not complicated, is far more attractive to the public than 9 years later, not to mention that this is a very good story, and there is no unacceptable because of different time or environment. . All these factors combined, it is normal to get such a high box office.

　　 Calculated, in addition to all the expenses-costs, distribution fees, theater sharing and tax payment, etc., Adrian can get at least about 20 million US dollars, directly doubling personal property, it is no wonder that Crow German will say this is huge profits. For this reason, after the Venice Film Festival, Adrian has faded out of the eyes of the executives of the film companies, and returned to their eyes again. The people in the circle are also full of interest in this young director. Filed.

　　 It's just that they haven't found a chance to contact Adrian for the time being, because he took the team to a small town on the outskirts of Los Angeles before "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels" went offline to start shooting new movies.

　　 "I need you with a kind of forbearance, understand, Dan?" At the entrance of the small town motel, Adrian explained to Dennis what to shoot, "You think you already know who killed you Wife's murderer, you just want to kill him now. Of course, when he stops you, you still need to keep calm and a little friendly, even better if you can flash a haze in your eyes while watching him ."

　　 After he finished speaking, he turned his head to look at the short man beside him: "Joe, as for you, I need you to have a little bit of anxiety. You have already noticed that something is wrong, but you cannot be sure it will be bad What is the point, since I hope to continue to coax Leonard as before."

　　 "In a nutshell, this character's current state is hesitation and fluke, is that true?" Joe Pantoriano, who pinched his chin, replied after thinking.

　　 "This is it," Adrian nodded. "If it's okay, let's get started-oh, yes, Bowen?"

　　 The photographer quickly came over: "I am here, Mr. Director."

　　 "Wait a moment, I want you to go here from here..." Adrian explained to the photographer with a box in his hand, "...and then opened up a full-length portrait of the two, understand?"

　　 After the photographer nodded, he clapped his hands and looked around: "All people pay attention, take action. In addition, ladies and gentlemen watching, please give us some space?"

　　The people watching around the motel door laughed loudly, and then spread out in twos and threes.

　　 ""Memento", scene 24, scene 112." With the sound of the scene, the camera started to run.

　　*

　　 "Did I mention my illness to you..." Leonard gestured to the administrator behind the window.

　　 "Stop every day." The administrator shrugged and looked at him with a funny expression.

　　Leonard is obviously used to this situation, and directly put a photo in front of him: "Is this person here?"

　　 "I just arrived." The administrator looked carefully and said, as if responding to his words, a warm voice came from the door: "Hey, Lenny."

　　Leonard turned his head, and a short man with glasses looked at him with a half-open glass door, smiling.

　　 "It's Liner." Leonard corrected expressionlessly, and he walked over quickly: "I think I should have mentioned my illness."

　　 "I will mention it every time." The short man still smiled.

　　

　　 "Cut!" Adrian standing behind the camera looking at the studio shouted loudly.

　　 "Dan, you still have a lack of expression," he said, looking at Dennis, "Leonard is not simply expressionless, he just hides his emotions underneath, come back!"

　　 Then in less than three minutes he stopped again: "Cut! Forbearance! Where did your forbearance go? Come again!"

　　 "Cut! Enough tolerance is enough, but the haze in my eyes is over, too straightforward, come back!"

　　 "Cut! Do you have doubts, do you understand? You have a doubt about everything around you because of memory problems, come back!"

　　 "Cut! Come back!"

　　 "Cut!"

　　Just started~IndoMTL.com~Adrian will also try to explain to Dennis, but after several NG he did not do it again, just repeatedly shouting "Action!" and "Cut". By the end, even the playful Joe felt a little overdone, but Dennis always kept calm, except for shooting time and time again, there was no extra expression.

　　Finally, after the 76th consecutive NG, Adrian finally announced that it passed, but before everyone was relieved he immediately took the camera from Bowen: "We will come again, this time I personally take the mirror."

　　 This decision almost didn't let everyone present fall down, but as the main supporting characters, Dennis and Joe quickly returned to their positions, the staff had to fight hard to continue working.

　　 Fortunately, because Dennis maintained the state of success just now, this shooting did not take much effort, and it passed once, and from the slightly smiling corner of Adrian, the effect of this time is still good.

　　 "Now take a 30-minute break." This wonderful word finally sounded, almost at the same time, a long exhalation sounded from the scene, and even Dennis, who had always been calm, showed fatigue after sitting down. look. After all, no one can take a lens repeatedly for nearly a hundred times in a row.

　　 "Why is Ed much harsher today than it was a few days ago? Is that also the case with your previous movie?" Joe Pantoriano walked to Dennis with a plastic water bottle. He made a small survey of Adrian after agreeing to appear in the role. After entering the crew, he also had a good relationship with everyone. As an actor who has been in the entertainment industry for 10 years and starred in many supporting roles, he is also a bit tired but Better than Dennis.
