King of Hollywood Chapter 288: Touted
PS: I came back, arrived late at night yesterday, and the jet lag has not been reversed until now. In this case, there is a chapter. Are you still impressed?
When I was in Los Angeles, I also wrote 3,000 words overtime, and authors like me who have attitudes and responsibilities should not accept the rewards of subscriptions.
Come on! Complete quality and quantity!
Pale face, thin body, shriveled fingers, man crumbling through the sound of shells in the ruins. He looks as if he will fall at any time, and can no longer climb up. He has lost too much, career, family, everything. He witnessed his parents and sisters being sent to the death train with his own eyes. He watched how the Nazis came out of the laborers to shoot and have fun. He almost died of illness because he was not treated.
Although he still works hard, he does not hesitate to find food in the ruins and drink water in the sewage. No matter how weak his body is, his eyes always reveal his desire for life.
So, when he met the virtuous officer in the ruins, even if his heart was cold, he sat in front of the piano as he commanded, and stretched his stiff fingers to play on the keys. He is so passionate about music, playing the virtual piano more than once while hiding from Tibet, even if he is dying, it is a kind of happiness to die in front of what he loves.
So he was saved, and the German officials who were tired of war and like music placed him in the attic of his office and gave him some food every day. Although it was just some bread and jam, the moment he swallowed, the happiness that emerged from his face was indescribable.
However, in irony, this German official who had told him the war was about to end, eventually died in a Soviet concentration camp, and he could not even return.
In any case, after the war ended, he finally returned to where he used to be, when the sound of the piano cut off due to the Polish invasion rang again on the radio. This story about life, music and the suffering of the Jews is finally complete.
The lights were on, and the auditorium was silent for a few seconds, and then a loud applause rang out. Adrian got up with a smile, greeted everyone in the face, and brought Brody, the actor with the same name, to his side. Accept the applause of the audience with him.
Although this movie was shot for a short time. The cost is about 30 million, but it costs a lot of things. Not to mention framing in Berlin and Poland, just to hide the news and not let the media and the industry know the specific shooting content and situation. The effort and time spent are incalculable. But with the applause now and the shock in people's eyes-whether it is sincere or not-I know it is worth it.
Of course, his good luck has always played a role, and the situation has been under control from beginning to end, such as those explosive scenes and street shootings. As well as the use of props and tanks, they are very efficient. They not only get the desired effect, but also let the onlookers guess the theme of the movie. And several of the leading actors have performed very well. Especially Brody, Adrian asked him to lose 30 pounds and asked him to be hungry in a dark room for a few days. He did nothing without saying anything, and the shooting effect was naturally very good.
As the opening film of the Cannes Film Festival, "Pianist" is undoubtedly qualified. And also exceeded the organizers' expectations. On the second day, major entertainment media, whether in Europe or the United States, have set their sights on this year's Cannes Film Festival, and portrayed another new work of Director Miracle with shocking tone on the front page.
"A surprising work, director Miracle for the first time dabbled in the theme of the World War II massacre."-"Liberation News"
"Two Adrians together created a shocking movie."-"Le Figaro"
"Spiman's performance in the film in front of the German officials. From the initial jerky to the final passion is undoubtedly the most classic scene in the entire movie."-"The Times"
"Director Miracle made another unexpected move. When everyone guessed that he would direct a war movie about World War II, the final result was a work about the Holocaust. In "Sind After Le’s List, Hollywood once again focused on this subject. And the angle is even more special."-"Los Angeles Times"
People are surprised, very surprised. As the "Los Angeles Times" puts it, according to the information disclosed before, almost everyone thought that Adrian was working in Europe for two months and was shooting a war movie, probably about World War II. People are looking forward to it. Even if the crew has never responded positively, they still wish to compare it with "Saving Private Ryan". This is really exciting.
Unexpectedly, after the final announcement at the Cannes Film Festival, although he still competed with Spielberg's work, it was another theme, a more sensitive theme. Therefore, it is also said on the Internet that Adrian is to compete with Spielberg for the first director in Hollywood.
"I never thought that, these guys are really boring." Adrian lazily dressed in a shirt standing at the table, looking at the news on the Internet through the laptop sneered.
"Yeah, your goal is more than this." After lifting the quilt and picking up the clothes, Ivanka came off the bed and said in a teasing tone.
"So you have to take care of me," Adrian smiled and grabbed her waist, bowed her head and kissed her plump softness.
"I want to remind you, Ed, after I clipped it to you last night, I just wiped it off with a paper towel." Ivanka said with ease.
Adrian suddenly showed a choking expression, knowing that the other party walked away with a smile on her face, and then she slaps on her buttocks angrily, which is really worthy of Charlie's training.
His goal is indeed much bigger, Hollywood’s first director? Don't be kidding, there is nothing to fight for, let Spielberg go to this name, even if Gates is like the halo of the world's richest man. I believe that some keen people should have realized his goal now, just like Ivanka who takes care of his affairs every day, and those involved must be extremely depressed, and the choices at that time will not be so easy to make.
However, I want to get 100% of what I want, but the "Pianist" is still a little too powerful, so Adrian has other calculations. This is his participation in the Cannes Film Festival with "Pianist". One of the important reasons.
"By the way, Ini, I need you to help me pay attention to the movements of a few people." Adrian thought of what came into the bathroom, opened the curtain and said to Ivanka who was taking a shower.
"You can't wait for me to finish talking?" Ivanka, who wiped his face, gave him a white look.
"Actually, I hope you can stay one more day. So that we can discuss in more detail." Adrian said with a smile.
"I have no problem, but others don’t know." Ivanka sneered and sneered with a sneer. "Last night they looked at you impressively. I don’t think they’re up. Miracle."
"Don't be so exaggerated?" Adrian raised an eyebrow.
"Sometimes I really want to make the itinerary full for you, and let them take turns to get your last energy out." Ivanka said angrily. "But now. Trouble let me take a shower by myself, thank you."
As she lifted her legs and kicked over, Adrian laughed and drew away, even if the scenery between the legs was very attractive. He left quickly.
As his secretary, Ivanka has to help him take care of many things, and his base camp in Europe is still in the United Kingdom, so he needs to run around, and she has not counted her as a woman in Cannes before. . Because of this. When she came in early after the premiere of "The Pianist" yesterday, just when Adrian had not decided who to spend a good night with, she chose to comfort her secretary, and other women were naturally not happy.
However, there will be a lot of time afterwards. After the release of "The Pianist", all kinds of favorable comments have emerged one after another. Don’t look at the short shooting time. Adrian has spent a lot of energy on this movie, basically guaranteeing the quality. of. In addition, the Holocaust's political correctness in Europe is not much worse than that of the United States, and sometimes it is much higher. This year is also the 60th anniversary of the victory of World War II. It can be imagined how European filmmakers will take "Pianist", so there are many more entertainment activities.
"Spiman played Chopin’s first narrative in g minor in front of a German official. It is indeed the most classic scene in the whole movie, and it is very closely matched with the theme of the movie. Just like "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily" "The scene where Malina was beaten was very attractive. You did a really good job, Ed." Giuseppe Tonadore said in praise.
There is also a large circle of people around, all well-known figures. Such as Luc? Besson, or Henry? Puenlai-the latter is a senior executive of Gaomeng.
"Thank you. Giuseppe, thank you for your compliments. I did spend a lot of energy on this movie." Adrian smiled and said in a humble tone, "I was investing in Steven's "Schindler's I had the idea of making a similar movie during the "List." Of course, you know, I was still very young at that time, and I didn't understand the movie to the point where it is now, so I can only push it down."
Speaking of a pause here, he continued again: "A few years later, a novel published by its publishing company caught my attention, and a biography about the pianist during World War II could actually be published. The ranking of the New York Times best-selling book, although surprising, has some merits. After looking for it, I knew that this was what I wanted, and immediately contacted Mr. Spiman to get the right to adapt. Not to mention, thanks to my good luck, and thanks to the company that published this book, shortly after I got it, Roman Polanski also contacted Spiemann to request the right to adapt this book."
Suddenly there was laughter all around.
"He even made people contact me. If he could not come to the United States, he would definitely come to the door." Adrian continued, and a few low laughs sounded, but it was more concealed, Polanski did not dare The reasons for going to the United States are known to those present.
"Polanski is very sincere, very sincere, and for a while I also wanted to give this autobiography to him. After all, he was a client and had a deeper understanding of this story. But I finally decided I came by myself, I did not experience these, but this is both a disadvantage and an advantage, which allows me to better interpret this story from different angles. So I carried out a lot of equipment and read a lot of information. I wanted to turn it on, but because I didn’t think it was enough, it was postponed again. Fortunately, I don’t seem to be doing badly today. The only regret is that Mr. Spieman has passed away and can’t see the movie.” Adrian said Sighed.
"Yes, what a pity." Besson echoed the sentence next to him, "but I believe he will be satisfied with this promising movie."
"Yes, I also believe it." Adrian immediately received, "I like hope, I love the hope, I hope all movies are full of hope."
The others followed, until a female voice came over: "I seem to hear hope? Hope I didn't miss anything?"
Then. A sapphire blue dress with a little embellishment. A big wave of gold and red, Nicole leaning to the side, and Naomi, wearing a beige dress, and blonde hair, appeared in front of the people with a smile.
"It shouldn't be. We are just talking about the connection between the movie and hope." Adrian looked at them and smiled. Although everyone else smiled and greeted them, they basically all had an ambiguous look.
Although he and they have rarely taken pictures of dating, the name Wonder Woman is enough for these people to understand his relationship with them. Especially European directors and producers.
"Wow, this is a very good topic, right, Nami?" Although Nicole asked her friends, her eyes were on Adrian. Naomi would say hello to others, but she Basically, it didn’t move much.
"Um... yes, like the movie you are showing, there is hope in the theme." Naomi said after thinking about it.
"That's true. My character is a transgender, a man who has become a woman, and she must hope to be recognized by others, especially her son." Nicole raised an eyebrow.
"It's not easy, no matter the plot or the character." Facing her layers, Adrian still smiled decently.
Nico also has a work to participate in this year's Cannes Film Festival, "Traveling America", a road comedy film with the theme of "transgender". The transgender Blee lived incognito and lived on the fringes of society in Los Angeles, and then had a complicated story with his son Toby for various reasons.
This is still prepared for her by Adrian. Of course, neither of them will admit this. On the surface, this is just an independent...well, in fact, this is a film produced by Global Focus Films. It invited Nicole Kidman to star in Oscar. Independent movie.
The movie was completed last year, but I failed to catch up with the Venice Film Festival. I originally wanted to participate in this year's Berlin Film Festival, but Adrian suggested to get it to Cannes. It was released two days ago, and the response was not bad. The transgender was very gimmicky and starred as the famous Nicole.
After two or three sentences, the people around him, Besson or Tonaredo, all made excuses to say goodbye. This group of people can see that Nicole came to Adrian, so why should they interfere there? As for Naomi... it's a **** thing, it has nothing to do with them.
Soon, everyone else was gone, and the conversation between one man and two women became heated, and it seemed very harmonious-if you didn’t hear the content of the conversation.
"1500 dollars, no less, there are so many senior prostitutes serving parliamentarians in Washington, DC. There were discounts a few days ago, but unfortunately you are not sure." These words were straight from Nicole's mouth. Come out, let Adrian quite helpless want to show their hands, and Naomi shook his head and smiled wryly.
She has become accustomed to discussing prostitutes between the two of them. Occasionally, Ni can be ridiculed to try. She even accepted the $100 “pay” paid by Adrian. The next discussion is always unacceptable. But she had to erect her ears in this kind of thing, and look around with her eyes wide, so as not to be heard by others.
"Okay, okay, so decide, anyway. I'm used to it anyway." Adrian "habitual" compromise.
"Very good, then no deposit will be charged this time," Nicole said happily. "So, when someone finds you, you should know what to do."
There is no need to say who others in her mouth are referring to.
"No problem, I promise." Adrian said with a smile, looking a bit oily.
Nicole snorted softly, and said immediately: "You should apply for a VIP card as soon as possible, so that the discount will be more."
Adrian raised her eyebrows and was about to answer. Naomi’s voice came next: "Nico, that nasty guy is here again."
Followed by, a man with short beard and short hair, who appeared to be a bit unattended, came over.
"It turns out that you have come here. I have been looking for you there for a long time. I just want to talk to you about my new script. You will like it and everyone will like it, I promise." The other party said loudly , Staring at Nicole, he didn't look at Adrian at all, as if he didn't exist at all.
Nico’s face became slightly ugly, and he said a little politely at the moment: "Tell me later, Mr. Tyre, I have something else now."
"Why?" The other party asked strangely~IndoMTL.com~We had a good chat before, didn't we? "
Not only did Nicole frown, but Naomi next to him also showed an impatient look. Obviously, the other party had struggled very hard before.
Adrian chuckled in his eyes. He had recognized this man, Las von Tier, who had met at the Cannes Film Festival before, and declared himself the best director in the world. Doubt, it's a self-righteous guy, this kind of person is sometimes very annoying.
"Nico does have very important things, such as dating." Adrian said after a slight cough.
"You are..." Tyre looked at him with an inexplicable expression.
He hasn't remembered yet. Adrian has already raised his arm, and Nicole put on a smile and walked out with him, and ignored Tyre. Naomi sighed and slipped to the other side. She couldn't follow behind at this time.
"A guy who only shoots boring Jewish stories." Just a few steps after Adrian walked out, such a grunt floated into his ears, and he raised his eyebrows.
