King of Hollywood Chapter 27: Become a gold screenwriter
Chapter 27 became a gold writer
There is no suspense, cinema liners, box office million in three days on weekends, this is the data of "Interview with the Vampire". It's amazing. The only thing that can be compared in the entire summer vacation file is "Twister". I have to admit that vampires are the enduring theme in Europe, America and movies. It also shows the degree of Anne Rice's claim to be popular.
The reactions of the critics have finally changed from those of the previous films. Although "Interview with the Vampire" is still mostly commercial, the original version still described and discussed deeply about people and loneliness. Indispensable.
"Although Neil Jordan modified part of the plot, the whole movie has more humanitarian appeal, giving people more thought and aftertaste. I have to say that the actors surprised me, no matter what It’s Tom Cruise’s Leicester or Bratt Pete’s Louis, or Kirsten Dunst’s Claudia, it’s amazing. Antonio Banderas Although their performances are not as many as they are, they are also quite outstanding, and even Raven Phoenix, who plays a reporter as a reporter, is also deeply impressed."-This is praised mostly.
"Okay, if the director’s modification of the plot is viewed as suitable for a larger audience, it is also acceptable. But in terms of actors, I always think that Tom Cruise played Leicester as a wrong decision. Yes, he does look evil and awe-inspiring, but don’t forget that in the original work of Anne Rice nv, Leicester is a handsome boy with an angelic face, I can’t see where Tom Cruise is at all. Appropriate. It's the girl, Kirsten Dunst, who feels astonishing. If you want to choose the best acting person, then I will vote for her." - This is criticized.
In general, it is still favorably praised, especially after the appearance of Anne Rice’s long comment.
"...I have expressed dissatisfaction with the crew’s modification of some of the plot, but Adrian told me that text and film are two different things. They have the same place and different places. Not all text is suitable for turning into images.
I finally compromised. Of course, at that time, I was not very willing, just like I thought that Tom Cruise was not suitable for Leicester, but could not change the decision of the crew.
However, it now proves that Adrian's views are correct. He proposes to modify the plot of the range. Everyone likes it now. He proposes to use Tom Cruise to play in Leicester. Tom did it perfectly.
Yes, he is very good. Brad, Kirsten and Antonio have done a great job, especially Kirsten. When shooting, people doubted her more than once. There is a 35-year-old soul hidden in the body, but Tom is the most outstanding, whether it is appearance or acting, which fully conforms to Leicester's characteristics..."
This is Anne Rice's long commentary in the New York Times. After the audition, she declared that she would write a long commentary after the movie is released. She really likes this version of the adaptation, so The word "masterpiece" is used in the article.
The original author praised it this way, and the critics didn’t have much to say. Who else has more say than Anne Rice? Cruise is naturally proud of the net. He once again proved his strength. He has to admit that he had many movies in the early and mid-years.
Brad? Pete also took this opportunity to further establish his status as a new star, but it is difficult to say what will happen in the future, because of the emergence of Adrian, his future has become fragmented.
Continue on the road of idols, don’t think about the rest. This is Adrian's positioning for him.
As for Kirsten, she finally got what she dreamed of, all the media will rave about her performance, plus there is a "No Reservations" released at the beginning of the year, Adrian also made full use of the media in her hands to promote The countless words of beauty once used on Natalie are now all on her.
"She is the most talented girl I have ever seen, Rice nv is right, she has a 35-year-old soul hidden in her body." Harrison Seaman, the famous film critic said, also got Recognized by many media
"I am very grateful for what you have done, and I hope to continue to feel grateful in the future." Although excited and proud of the numerous spotlights that swarmed in, Kirsten did not forget to call Adrian, The giggling laughter was quite sweet.
"Yes." Adrian answered very simply. Watching her grow up in her own mastery, tune it to the way she wants and then eat it, this is also a very fulfilling thing.
However, to say the most amazing thing about Adrian, it is Raven Phoenix who plays a reporter. As some media say, even if it only appears at the beginning and end, it still leaves a deep impression. . The funny thing is that many reporters made an essay on the matter of last year's Halloween, saying that he finally came out of the yīn film of drug abuse, completely disregarding the scene and filmed before the month and the day.
In addition, he did not expect that Rui Fan actually still got a corner in the "Theft of Fire" that gathered two stars of Al Pacino and Robert De Niro, and this corner It belongs to Fang Kimer. This is certainly due to the factor of the agent, but Rui Fan’s own acting skills are also indispensable. It is said that the director of the film, that is, Michael Mann, who is known for his picky and slow work, is full of praise after watching his audition. .
It is worthy of being the youngest film emperor in Venice, and Adrian praised him in his heart when he heard the news. After "Theft of Fire" comes out, let's see how much brilliance he can show in front of the two major film emperors, and then he can fit his works according to this arrangement. Jacques Phoenix and Silver Phoenix can start now.
Two weeks later, in September 1994, "Interview with the Vampire" has taken away the first chair in North America, but the heat has also obviously weakened. Compared with "True Lies" and "Twister", the audience of "Interview with the Vampire" is still a little bit.
But soon, an article in the Los Angeles Times brought its attention back to the original, and the previous films that have begun to fade out of the public’s eyes also attracted a lot of attention, because -
"Now is the gold medal producer?" This is the title of the "Los Angeles Times", as if to increase the persuasion, the letters are black and thick, accounting for half of the layout.
"We all know that he is a Hollywood screenwriter and a miracle director of Hollywood. Maybe we should add the title of a gold producer now. If we have a little more in-depth understanding, it will appear that there are five in this summer's summer holiday file. The best-selling movies are all from Bosworth Films. Although the two largest producers are Century Fox and Warner, they are involved in the investment, but it is interesting that the producer column always has a familiar name-Adrian? Kewell”
This report uses detailed data to illustrate the achievements of the five films produced by Bosworth Films during this summer vacation. Not only that, but also the last year’s "Philadelphia Story", "The Piano" and the beginning of the year. "This killer is not too cold" and "No Reservations" also appeared, and finally the producer column has the name Adrian.
Although most of them are ranked at the end, especially independent films like "The Piano", everyone knows that it is just the name, but if they are linked together, it is not so simple.
"I think it should be, Ed is a very visionary person, he recommended Holly Hunter for me, also provided a lot of help, and also has many suggestions for the plot." The report quoted "The Piano "Director Jane Campion's words.
It doesn’t matter, but whether it’s a first-line director like James Cameron, or a senior director like Neil Jordan, Jonathan Demi, or newcomers like Michael Bay and Jane De Bonte The directors praised it all—these things are not secrets, and they can be found if they are interested in investigating them—and then it was surprising to contact the report by Anne Rice.
"I don’t know if Adrian has been blessed by God, but his vision is clearly out of the question. When he says who can, this person can do it. Think of Al Pasi on the Oscars last year. Noah and Emma Thompson, think about this year’s Michael Bay and Jane De Bonte, Natalie Portman and Kirsten Dunst, and Monica Bellucci, Ju There are too many Leah Roberts and so on. He seems to have this golden finger. When he starts to wave, everyone will hope that he can hit himself." The last paragraph of the report was written like this.
Although these are not secrets in the circle, not everyone knows Adrian very well, and some things are erroneous, so it is inevitable to be surprised to see this detailed report. But what is most surprised is the public. Generally speaking, ordinary people are most concerned about actors or stars, who choose the film according to who played it, and then become a well-known director. Pay attention to the producers, but there are very few. The great achievements of Adrian are not very clear. It is hard to avoid the sound of exclamation now that the newspaper is covered in this way.
Actually, if it is replaced by someone else, although it will cause awesomeness, it will not have the effect of Adrian. As I said before, ordinary people rarely pay attention to who made the movie, unless it is those well-known directors who also hold the post. And there are so many producers in Hollywood, and there are also five or six producers a year. As for the names that are listed at the end, there are more. People don’t feel it without understanding nature, so even if these movies are sold, it will only become a chat after dinner.
But Adrian is different. It’s not necessary to talk about the cu1t movies that are full of whimsy and imagination. The thing that attracted the debate between the British and American media in 1992 was not necessary, but one The production of three films each year became the youngest nominee for best director, and at the same time sending Al Pacino and Emma Thompson to the throne of the film actor is still vividly remembered, and this young man has also had a miracle. The director.
Although last year he became silent and did not have any works. It was not until the arrival of the New Year in 1994 that a "This Killer is not too cold" was released, and because of the description of middle-aged men xìng and nv children. Controversy, but it does not mean that people forget him. Therefore, after this incident was published in the newspaper, everyone had an unexpected surprise feeling: since he can become a miracle director in 3 years, it is normal to become a gold producer.
Adrian was put to the front desk, and reporters began to appear outside the villa. Various TV stations also began to invite him to appear on the show, especially the expanding TBs under the media. It is because of the advantages that people continue to lobby. The boss hopes to use this as a breakthrough point to make his talk show more famous.
"I don't want to be interviewed anymore, Roger, I'm not a big star. Even if I want to say it, I'll wait until the end of the year. There are two more movies to be released at the end of the year. Do we have to show again at the time? Adrian told Roger, his own agent, on the phone.
He has been taking care of his scripts and director-related affairs from beginning to end, although there are actually not many things to do, and in many cases, it is just a walkthrough. After all, the movie company is Adrian, and it is not needed here. Brokers fight for equity or something. As for other aspects, Adrian has always been very low-key, and there is nothing special to deal with. Even if there is, he can only do it according to his instructions, such as dealing with last year's scandal, who made him the boss?
In addition, Roger also frequently came to the eyes and ears of Adrian to explore all kinds of news for him. The range of agents is very wide. But he was not dissatisfied. As a qualified broker, he knew what to do when he was doing housekeeping. It was precisely because of this that Adrian did not treat him badly.
Okay, back to the topic, Adrian has no objection to this sudden report, these things will be excavated sooner or later, the reporters are not vegetarian after all, and he is not as big as Murdoch and Lei Shidong The power-the power and status of Murdoch and others will still be widely reported by the media. He has been able to keep a low profile for so long.
Additionally, this report is not useless, at least to further demonstrate the ability of people in the circle and those who want to enter the entertainment circle. Have a golden finger to turn gold into gold? Indeed, if you want to become famous, come to me. Adrian thought of moving his own fingers, then he laughed softly, and his nv people immediately appeared in the presence of his fingers. The golden fingers have another explanation.
But soon Adrian sighed again. If there is any trouble with this report, it is to make him unable to date his nv people as unscrupulously as before.
"This is also considered trouble? When you dated Monica and Julia, didn't you avoid the reporter as well?" Charlitz scoffed at his worry.
"This is also true, as long as the heart should be fine." Adrian agreed after carefully thinking about it, there are many ways to get rid of those reporters, don't look at paparazzi but don't look high.
Then he looked at Charlize with interest, and put his arms around her waist: "Besides, you are still around, aren't you?"
Charlize gave him a glance: "You better be careful, Ed, here is the living room, if the reporters outside are using long-lens cameras, tomorrow you will appear to disturb your assistant’s opinion In the newspaper."
Adrian burst into laughter, he really likes Charlize now, and he thinks of him with his heart. The more she is, the less he will let her leave.
In spite of refusing various invitations for interviews, Adrian made a short statement to this report, stating that it was just giving some appropriate opinions. The success of the film mainly depends on the efforts of the directors and actors. Like many words, there is a big talk, but there are few valuable ones, and it is no wonder that a talk show host ridiculed on the show: This is like a routine news conference for White House speakers.
Although the media is dissatisfied, they can do nothing. If Adrian deliberately avoids them, they can’t catch his trail. And when those do not avoid them, the answer is always the same.
"This is clearly due to Jerry and Mike. I picked them out at most among the people who can choose."
"Honestly, I was worried that he has never directed a formal movie. Whether he can direct this disaster movie is indeed unknown. But if you don’t give others a chance, how do you know others? Isn't that okay?"
"Holly is an actor out of sè~IndoMTL.com~ and was recommended by a friend of mine. I thought it was good and recommended it to Campion, so my role is actually very small. "
Reporters are depressed and depressed. What they want is that the inside story is the news that gossip is possible, and how to use these things-after all, Adrian is different from ordinary stars, although the report is only slightly mentioned The media did not describe it in detail, but most reporters know that he is an identified person, so even if he can sway on the basis of the content of the interview, he has to do as much as possible.
In short, under this circumstance, the heat that was set off before finally began to slowly decrease, but it will take some time to return to the previous level. Adrian had to continue to maintain the current style, but as Charlize said, these troubles are just problems, like riding a bicycle on a stone-covered road, although some bumps, it is actually not a big deal .
No, there are more reporters chasing and blocking, and there are many parties or parties to participate in, maybe you will encounter surprises and the like. For example, he and Claude are now attending the cocktail party hosted by Paramé Gerard Orson in his villa. A big possible surprise is in front of him. Whether he is sure or not depends on him.
