King of Hollywood Chapter 291: I am just telling a story

ps: Procrastination can’t afford to be hurt, it’s only a few days since I went home...it seems impossible to explode... hey...

Once things are decided, Adrian will go all out, and Sharon is also a good place to pick things up. Although not many people were present, there were also many celebrities, and some were journalists. In the room, his voice was louder and more contagious.

So, he pretended to be absent-minded from the beginning, just as Russ von Tyre, a guy with a brain in the water, so he used his words to guide things in the direction he wanted, Just let the other party bear the notoriety of picking things up. This arrogant and arrogant guy from Denmark has never been a threat. Adrian confirmed this when he met him at the Cannes Film Festival when he brought "Mulholland Drive" last time. If you’re welcome, this guy is just European. The filmmaker needs the packaging that was introduced, so there is no self-knowledge.

You know, the Adrian “sympathy to the Nazis” question was just casually asked in memory. I didn’t expect that the guy actually nodded his head. It can be seen that he is a self-centered and never considered Other people, so that's right to preach. Since he wants to be his stepping stone, of course he should be satisfied.

That kind of preaching seemed overdone, and in the end all shyness and performance came out, but Adrian didn’t take it seriously. On the one hand, the bigger the trouble, the better. How can Hollywood know that he is on their side, and how can he become a spokesperson. Then take control and be crowned king together? Besides, this preaching is also carefully planned. If you want to win the debate, don’t think about refuting the other party. There is no perfect theory in the world, as long as there is enough time. You can always find loopholes in it and then attack, so the purpose of the debate is only to fight for people with a neutral attitude.

So, after establishing the basic logic—such as the history and glory of Europe and the habit of European film arrogance and self-talk—how to infect the onlookers. It is very important for them to resonate and let them recognize. In short, it is sensational.

Therefore, Adrian repeatedly stated that he hoped that someone could compete with Hollywood. There is also a trick here. Although he didn't make it clear, everyone knows that even with strong competitors, Hollywood is still strong and unsurpassed under his leadership. The achievements of the past ten years have clearly proved this.

In short, he put himself in a seemingly fair position, and then used this to accuse European filmmakers of being selfish and cowardly, ignoring the overall situation and daring to face technological development, immersing themselves in the past and giving up the future. Even if he is known to have a suspicion of partiality, it is difficult to refute in that situation. Not to mention afterwards.

And Adrian has also deliberately differentiated. Except for Tyre, it is mainly aimed at Bertolucci, who let this old man be present that night? It also praised some French filmmakers and named Luc Besson. As long as people accept this deliberately created justice, it will be very easy to accept his remarks.

Of course. The support of the media behind is also one of the reasons. Even if the power in Europe is relatively weak, the voice of Adrian can still be passed quickly and unhindered, so the European film circle reflects the slow support of the American film circle, why Hollywood Will such a monster appear?

But after the Adrian airport speech. The European film industry finally reacted, or either reached an agreement or just didn't want Adrian to continue to provoke it, and they all began to carry out strong criticism. For example, the director of Miracle fully showed his rudeness, or what is "shame and companionship" but still brought his work to the Cannes Film Festival, and it was very rude to wait for the film festival to end, and some British media also joined among them.

In addition, Godard didn’t know whether it was because he couldn’t wipe his face or something. He also stood up and said a few words such as "too young" and "mixed with the Jews," Then was made a fuss by the media. All in all, Adrian is from head to toe, and there is nothing that is not worthy of criticism, as if their previous praise of him did not exist.

Unfortunately a little late, if Adrian's remarks were just published in the media, they might just draw a large number of people. But for now, even many Europeans who do not like the words of Director Miracle feel that their criticism is weak and unreasonable, and the Americans who were on the Adrian side at the beginning naturally ridiculed.

Then the organizers of the Cannes Film Festival gave them a slap in the face. Before that, they had expelled Las Von Tier-there is nothing to say. The Holocaust is politically correct in Europe. This year It is also the 60th anniversary of the victory of World War II. He even said that he sympathized with the Nazis in front of a director who made a film with the theme of the Holocaust. If Cannes is allowed to let itself go, his reputation will definitely fall.

European filmmakers are helpless about this, even Godard, who clearly expresses his hatred of the Jews, does not chew, and the media that has been prepared for it quickly makes this known to everyone, so Tyre is completely finished. If you want to be evicted like another time and space and complacent, it is simply impossible. Stepping stones are generally used and should be kicked away.

But then, four days after Adrian left Cannes, at the awards ceremony, the jury handed Golden Palm to Pianist in his absence!

This is really cruel. The European filmmakers are still criticizing Adrian. Cannes, one of the three major film festivals there, awarded Golden Palm to his work. Although the jury issued a statement, they disagreed with every word that Miracle Director said, but they would not be angry with "Pianist" because it was a great movie, and they were right. "Pianist" was indeed It's a top-notch work, that award is no big deal, the work and the author should be separated.

But many people still feel spicy on their faces, and some critics even complain in private. If you really want to give it, the best director or jury award is enough. Why do you have to give Golden Palm?

"It's very simple, they have also begun to be commercialized." Adrian sees it clearly.

After entering the new century, Cannes Film Festival is under increasing pressure, and Hollywood continues to erode the European film market. The local movies have no improvement, and they have come up with a retrogressive thing such as the gma95 declaration-from this point, the criticism of Adrian is right-if they no longer want to find new ways to change, they will be eliminated sooner or later. .

Anyway, the political trend is marked by the Berlin Film Festival, and the small-cost independent film is the Venice Film Festival. Then Cannes is more commercialized and it is appropriate to maintain its position as the leader in Europe. Therefore, it is not a big deal to have a good relationship with the media. Besides, Adrian everywhere reveals its good feelings for French movies, so he has become one of the few directors who have received Golden Palm twice.

To be honest, Adrian was also surprised. He initially expected only the best director or jury award. After all, Golden Palm represents the highest honor in Cannes, and there are very few people who can get it twice, not to mention he still criticizes European movies in Cannes and publicly declares that European movies are dead.

Who knows that when he finally got the golden palm, the Gaul chicken is really the same as the gray farm animal.

"Anyway, it's a huge honor, two Golden Palm... Someone feels bad, it makes you closer to the goal, isn't it?" Claude laughed humorously.

"Really." Adrian shrugged. "But I won't change the itinerary. The French winks are not very useful."

"So, I'm going to wipe your **** again?" Claude raised an eyebrow.

"I believe there won't be such a stupid person." Adrian waved his hand, but added a sentence after a pause: "Of course, it is difficult to say that there is a guy with a fever."

No one is impeccable, even if the achievements of Adrian can overwhelm European filmmakers. In the "Matrix" trilogy and "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy, just one item is enough for a director to benefit for life. But there is also a place that can be attacked, that is private life, not to mention anything else. Just in Cannes and Nicole went back to the hotel with his arms uproarious-if not, he might not be determined to implement his plan in the salon.

So when Europeans have nothing to say, it is hard to say that they will not find a way to get things back in this regard. Of course, Adrian has disclosed through various channels a long time ago, it’s okay to write some edge-trimming reports, this is the rule of the game, but it’s too much to do, affect his goals, or involve his own children, Then leave him alone.

Over the years, entertainment reporters have basically defaulted to this line, including a large number of paparazzi including The Sun. But this time he made such a big deal, offending most of the filmmakers in Europe, maybe there will be an unintentional or indulgent guy coming out to catch these troubles, so Claude reminds it is still necessary .

"Then I will give it to you, Crow, I will now go on to make the final blow for now." Adrian said, and then got up to greet Ivanka and leave the office.

Even at this point, it successfully created the opposite emotions in film production on both sides of the Atlantic, but the whole thing is still not over, and there is a small tail. Even if Cannes gave him the Palme d’Or, he couldn’t stop it. The long-term plan will be realized. Adrian will not let anyone be in charge, so Claude would be so half-warning and half-joking.

So what is it?

"Welcome everyone to watch the latest issue of "Allen Show". This is Allen DeGeneres. Today we invited a heavyweight guest. As for the weight, see the recent The newspaper will know," Alan DeGeneres in front of the camera said easily, "Welcome to our miracle director, Adrian? Kewell!"

In the music, Adrian, who was not dressed informally and dressed casually, came up from the backstage.

"Hi, Allen, I'm so happy to see you." He greeted Degeneles happily.

"Me too, Ed, so glad you can come to my show." The other party smiled and made a gesture of please.

"Now you will not be nagging anymore, I have never been on your show." Adrian said jokingly after sitting down.

"Oh. Of course not. I'm just nagging you now for a more generous contract." DeGeneres ridiculously said.

"Damn, why are you always like this? On Jon's show you said this, and on your show you said this." Adrian complained, and immediately caused a laugh.

"Okay. So let’s change the subject. Recently, you are really very, very concerned. At first, everyone was surprised that you made a movie about the World War II massacre, and then you and Nicole Kidman In and out of the hotel, and then the Europeans suddenly turned from love to hate for you. 138 Reading Book is incredible," DeGeneres went directly to the theme, "What made you say that? A momentary impulse? "

"I was really impulsive at the time. I didn’t want to talk too much. I didn’t approve of their stuff, but it was not easy to argue with them. So I have been a little distracted. But then I thought it was really necessary to express my attitude clearly, So I just uttered all the accumulated words. I don’t think there is anything wrong with these words. I may seem a little excited at the scene, but everything I have said has been observed and summarized over the years." Adrian strengthened his tone by speaking and gesturing.

"But European directors don't think so. They think you are a famous movie art..." DeGeneres was interrupted by Adrian before he finished.

"No, no, Alan, wrong, the art stuff has nothing to do with me at all." He smiled seriously. "The famous science fiction novelist Robert Heinlein has a sentence. He said that he wrote the novel just to make a little money and drink a little wine. I am also the same. I am just telling stories, telling those who can make people love. People hate the stories that make people sad and happy, and make some money by the way."

"Hah, this is the first time I heard this," Allen showed an exaggerated look. "But you did make and direct many movies with very artistic value, don't you?"

"Then no matter what I do, the pearls will be there. I just walked over and picked them up to show you," Adrian shrugged indifferently. "As for how to interpret it, it is the audience's own business."

"Why would you want to separate art and film so strongly?" DeGeneres asked the key.

"No, no, I didn't want to separate it," Adrian said, shaking his head. "I just think that people now refer to the word art... it seems too cheap."

"Too... cheap?" DeGeneres blinked, and the audience murmured in a low voice.

"Can you talk about what art should look like in your eyes?" she said again.

"Of course, but we have to put it in the back, we need to go around a big circle," Adrian laughed. "At present, all art forms, architecture, painting, novels, drama, singing and dancing, and even movies, when they were born, The first attribute is never art, and the first attribute is always entertainment! Only when these things meet people's most basic entertainment requirements, can it be sublimated into art, not to say that several shapes are made with iron wire to the corner. Throw it, and wait for them to be covered with dust, they will become art!"

"Look at European movies now, what else do they have? As I said in Cannes, besides women’s, fragmented clips, and director’s self-talk, what are the most basic functions? Do it, I am curious what makes them qualified to wear the crown of art on top of their heads in grandeur."

"Are you very much against women exposing their bodies in the movie?" DeGeneres suddenly asked, with a curious look, "There is basically no such thing in the movie you made except "Eyes Wide Shut" Camera,"

"Whether it is necessary to expose the body, it is the director and the actor's thing, and their freedom, the key is what kind of effect they want, is it really showing the beauty of the female body, or is it just to tease the emotions of the audience." Adrian spread his hands very frankly.

"Oh?" DeGeneres raised an eyebrow, and a surprised voice came from the audience.

“There are many photos of the beauty of women’s bodies in this world, especially black and white photos. The beauty that is conveyed is really moving, but the key is that they are static and peaceful, allowing people to fully observe Details," Adrian continued, "In the movie, the image is always dynamic, so no matter how you shoot ~IndoMTL.com~ will bring a provocative taste, you can not repeatedly observe. Then please ask, when these lenses When it appeared on the big screen, did people pay attention to the beauty of the female body? Or was it right...um?"

He didn’t say the word, but everyone knew what it was. DeGeneres immediately chuckled, and there was a mixed or ambiguous or embarrassed laughter in the audience.

"Your description is really..." DeGeneres, who has always been famous for spicy topics, couldn't help but stick out his tongue. This talk show was live broadcast. This topic was thrown out, so basically it is the same as that in Europe. There is no possibility of reconciliation for a long time.

"It is very difficult to show this in front of the camera," Adrian continued with a comfortable look. "I really want to do this, but I still can't find a suitable opportunity. As for "Eyes Wide Shut", that's not mine Works. So I would rather handle it a little more obscurely and half-covered, rather than rashly show it, because art does not allow blasphemy!"

"Is this art fundamentalism?" DeGeneres asked in amusement.

"Of course not," Adrian shrugged. "I just want to emphasize the sublime and precious art, just like I emphasize that I am just telling stories."
