King of Hollywood Chapter 36: Meeting

"You mean... I have to be ugly to show my acting skills?" Cate stared at Adrian staring blankly, as if he didn't understand what he was talking about. The two were sitting near the Brandenburg Gate Drinking afternoon tea in a cafe.

　　 "Because you are beautiful, Cate, sometimes people are more likely to notice your appearance than your acting skills, they will say, you are a vase." Adrian spread his hands.

　　 "What about you? Do you think so too?" Cate asked, biting his lips a little unhappy.

　　 "Of course not," Adrian laughed. "However, people generally think that this has become their consensus. It is very unfair, but you have to accept it."

　　 "So you arranged this role for me now?" Cate couldn't help but sigh.

　　 "Yeah," Adrian took a closer look at her, "Of course, if I don’t like it, I will pay attention to other roles for you. The key is what you want, Cate, to gain people’s recognition through hone acting ? Or enjoy the joy of acting? Even if you go to the California Academy of Art for systematic study, you still want to go your own way. If you have been an actor, you will continue to develop behind the scenes."

　　Cate thought for a long time, and finally shrugged: "Well, I know, anyway, I will apply to the California Academy of Art after graduation this year."

　　 Adrian could not help laughing out loud, and then waved his hand in the Cate's forced look: "Then I will talk about it later, today the rare weather is good, we might as well go shopping in Berlin."

　　As stated in Venice last year, all film festivals are considered festivals in some ways, and Berlin Film Festival is no exception. Since it is a festival, you can definitely play around and have fun. Just like in Venice, Adrian took Cate to spend five days traveling around Berlin again, and Alexander Square, Bodhi Tree Street, and other places that tourists must go to have not been put. After that, I even went to East Berlin deliberately and walked around the unfinished Berlin Wall. In addition to the cold weather in Germany in February, the clothes have to be thicker, and the situation about the Persian Gulf seen on TV from time to time, everything is very good.

　　 As for the movie, it was naturally thrown to Lavern. This time I participated in the name of a film company, so Adrian is easier than when I was in Venice. Being a boss has this advantage.

　　 is one of the 11 major A-level film festivals evaluated by the International Film Producers Association, and this is the first time after German unification. Although the political atmosphere of the Berlin Film Festival is strong, it has attracted a lot of people from all over the world. Filmmakers come to participate. Even though most people have never heard of Adrian, there are always a few people who know it.

　　 "It's...how to say...very scary and excellent, I never thought her acting would be so...God, that's Lakris!" and Adrian held hands from the theater What came out of Cate was talking, and suddenly saw a woman surrounded by a group of reporters on the street and could not help but screamed.

　　 "You should call her Ms. Judy Foster." Adrian couldn't help shaking her head. "Don't be so fussed?"

　　But after he finished speaking, Cate grasped his arm again and pointed at another person who was surrounded: "God, Professor Hannibal!"

　　Finally, she heard Adrian's words and suppressed her voice a lot.

　　 "Do you need to sign in the past?" Adrian asked jokingly.

　　 "Hmm... no more." Cate finally recovered, and smiled a little embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, Ed, after all, I just watched the movie just now, it's so wonderful, it's inevitable some..."

　　 "I know, it does not matter, this is indeed a wonderful work. I dare say that this will be one of the best works in the United States this year. Maybe I can get the best Oscar movie." Adrian did nothing. Gestures, and then he thought of something with a smile: "However, Director Demi may be criticized by some feminists."

　　"Why?" Cate asked curiously, and at the same time another voice rang out: "Why?"

　　Adrian turned his head in a sound, and a middle-aged male with slender eyes and a beard was standing obliquely behind, looking at him with curious eyes.

　　 "Is that you?" Adrian felt that the other party was familiar, but for a moment he couldn't remember who it was.

　　 "Jonathan Demi." The other person smiled and said his name.

　　Adrian could not help raising an eyebrow: "It turns out to be Director Demi, I'm so sorry, I hope you don't think I'm targeting you."

　　 "It doesn't matter," the other party waved his hand with a smile, "You can call me Jonathan, I just want to know why you made this conclusion-yes, are you?"

　　 "Adrian·Kewell." Adrian introduced, "This is my girlfriend, Cate·Beckinsale."

　　 "Adrian·Kewell? That ghost is the director?!" Jonathan showed a surprised look and seemed a little unbelievable.

　　 "It seems to have this title... By the way, which newspaper is it coming from?" Adrian glanced at his chin and looked at Cate.

　　Because of the sentence "My Girlfriend" just now, he held his Cate more intimately and thought: "The Los Angeles Times!"

　　Although the day when "Memento" was screened at the film festival, the reporters who asked around Adrian were all tabloid reporters, and these newspapers just focused their attention on guessing the plot and the next day. Dennis et al.'s answer is an exaggerated interpretation of what they need, but it does not mean that no other well-known film critics watched that day.

　　 "This is not a general work. There are many movies based on retrospective methods, but there are not many works that can be thought-out but thought-provoking like "Memento". If you think that this movie is a bit different from Adrian It was the same as the one from a month ago, filled with endlessly''and black humor would be wrong. Although there are many'' in Memento'', believe me, compared with "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels" Is not enough.

　　 Okay, just kidding, let’s talk about the new movie Adrian. In summary, the hero of the story suffers from a rare amnesia and can only remember what happened within a few minutes, so that during the running, I do not know whether I am chasing or being chased. For him, life is fragmented, but in this fragmentation he always thought of revenge for his dead wife.

　　 sounds like a very old story, but Adrian told the story in its own way. There are two lines in total, a colorful retelling and a black and white narration, and at the same time. At the beginning, you may feel some confusion and some confusion, but when the story develops, you will be attracted unconsciously. Please forgive me for not being able to reveal more plots. I can only say that if the story is told in a narration way, it will be very mediocre, but after being edited by Adrian with a special method, it immediately becomes different. Especially the announcement of the ending will surprise many people.

　　 This is a very complicated work that requires constant thinking. If you want to experience a storm of thinking, then wait to see after the movie is released. Although I haven’t seen the director Adrian·Kewell, but the ability to produce two similar works with different emphasis in a short period of time can be regarded as a ghost. "

　　 This is a film review by the famous American film critic Ronnie Gross, published on the second edition of the entertainment version of the Los Angeles Times two days after the release of "Memento"-"Los Angeles Times" and "Los Angeles Evening News" although only It is a little different, but the former is one of the three major newspapers in the United States, but it is not comparable to the Los Angeles Evening News.

　　As long as "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels" was released last year, Gross praised this as a good story, and therefore became somewhat interested in Adrian. So this time after rushing to Berlin to attend the film festival, he specially attended the premiere of "Memento".

　　 After the publication of Gross’s film reviews, reporters and film critics from other countries also published their opinions. Although there are always so few bad reviews, there are more praises. The ingenious editor of "Memento" is not only eye-opening~ IndoMTL.com~ the content of the story also has a certain depth, and it is naturally liked by film critics.

　　 The current Adrian is no longer the new director of a few months ago, and the published film reviews are naturally not like the Venice stay in the corner of the final version, so it has attracted more attention. Jonathan Dai Mi is one of them.

　　 "Yesterday I happened to go to the Rother Theater to see your "Memento", which is very subtle and fully deserved to be called a ghost." Jonathan Demi showed a serious expression.

　　 "You have won the prize, Director Demi, your "The Silence of the Lambs" is much better than mine, not only fully grasping the context of the novel but also adding many details that the novel cannot express, plus Hope Mr. Kings and Ms. Foster’s superb acting skills, I believe it is definitely one of the most powerful competitors of the Oscars this year!" Adrian said flatly.

　　 Jonathan smiled happily and became more interested in Adrian.

　　 "Call me Jonathan, Adrian," Jonathan reached out and shook his hand, "I'm glad to meet you."

　　 "Me too, Jonathan." Adrian nodded with a smile.

　　 "Just now you said that this movie may have caused criticism from feminists, can I know why?" Jonathan looked at the noisy crowd around him and then changed the subject: "Let's change our place, Adrian, Our crew has a small party at the Concord Hotel. I wonder if you would like to join Miss Cate?"

　　Adrian glanced at the Cate beside him, and then looked at Anthony Hopkins, Judy Foster and others who had rid the reporters and fans of the distance.

　　 "I am very happy." He said to Jonathan in this way.
