King of Hollywood Chapter 4: A lot of things
If Kim Kerry is an actor who can change his face at will, then Kevin Spacey is an actor who can change his character at will. If you watch his works in succession, you will find that the last time he was a rude man with swearing words. This moment has become an inhuman cold-blooded killer, and the next moment is a timid and cowardly man. From the perspective of the actor, he is undoubtedly very good.
And David Finch is one of the Adrian admired directors. First, he will tell the story; second, while telling the story, he also retains his own sharpness. Spielberg is the most story-telling director, but often he has to bow his head to business and entertainment. But Finch seldom did so, but instead of expressing his own things like some authors' films, he never considered the views of the audience. While looking good, he also had a unique ideology. Such directors are very rare.
But because of this, he always lingered on the mainstream dividing line, and the film school didn't like him very much. Although Finch also said "I don't know what the school thinks, I don't know what an award-winning movie is", but no one knows whether it's open-minded or helpless.
Of course, this is all going to happen now. Now that Spicer is just beginning to show up, although the vampire-style real estate agent who played in the movie "Glengarry Glen Ross" two years ago was well received, there are still some actors away from the front line. Then a little distance. Finch was even worse. Last year, he managed to win the guide of "Alien 3". As a result, Fox was dissatisfied with what he photographed, so he deprived him of the editing rights and edited a version for release. The angry Finch immediately announced that it was not him Works, so he is still a newcomer director in film production.
"This character belongs to the fanatic religious believer. He believes that the world is dirty and needs to be cleaned with fierce means, so in the end, he did not hesitate to regard himself as his own goal for his own goals. The sacrifice was placed on the altar." Speixi talked eloquently, indeed he was a quick-witted guy.
"Samosa is the kind of person who has become accustomed to the world. Unlike young people like Mills who grew up watching TV, he likes classical music and is good at finding answers in the literature, so he cracked this step by step. The case. But because of his familiarity with the world, he has no enthusiasm for watching a lot of things coldly." Freeman commented on his role. "But I like his last line, "Hemingway said that the world is beautiful and worth our time. Struggling, I agree with the second half of the sentence."
"Although life is pretty good, Mills is as **** and impulsive as most young people, so he was eventually chosen by John Du as a spokesperson for "anger". This is Dennis's view of his role.
"Very good, your opinions are very valuable," Adrian listening to the actor's opinion smiled and nodded, then turned to Finch sitting next to him, who didn't make a sound from beginning to end, "Then you What about David?"
Vinci dropped his head, and the index fingers of his hands together beat each other rhythmically. Because of the baseball cap, he couldn't see his expression clearly. A few seconds later, he looked up and thoughtfully looked at Adrian: "What is the subject you want to express, Ed? Or... what did you think when you wrote this script?"
"What do you think?" Adrian raised an eyebrow. "If you want to ask me what I think of John Du, David, I can only regret to tell you that I have nothing, I just When writing a story, it’s just that the story is good enough. As for the theme of the movie, it’s the director’s responsibility. The producer needs to ensure the visibility of the story, and even the director should not be in the work. Too much opinion, half said, and the other half let the audience guess."
Listening to Adrian's words, Finchmore held his chin for a long while and didn't speak again, but he didn't hide his expression.
"Come on, David, my condition is good enough, what are you waiting for?" Adrian suddenly laughed, "I’m not the fool of Fox, don’t forget what I started with Kind of movie."
He said that he looked at Fischer playfully: "Or did Tom not tell you this?"
Innocent Fisher shrugged immediately, and Finch couldn’t help but also laughed. He took off his baseball cap and scratched his head: “Well, obviously, I have no reason to refuse.”
In fact, apart from the final editing rights, Adrian gave him all the power of the studio. Even in the later editing, he said that he would fully respect his opinions and guarantee that there would be no such situation as "Alien 3" For a new director, this is already a very favorable condition.
Therefore, the preparations for "Seven Deadly Sins" were finalized, basically the original cast, except Dennis replaced Pete in Mills. This was originally the route designed by Adrian for Dennis, through a variety of roles to fully exercise their plasticine ability, some similar to the characteristics of the style change character of Spicy. However, Spacy was born in a formal drama school with a more orthodox acting style and a little bit of stage drama style; Dennis is completely relying on his own exploration and experience. Relatively speaking, it may be more thorough to change, but it requires continuous accumulation. If Dennis can follow the designed route, Adrian would like to see him and Spicy at the peak of the same stage.
As for Pete, it doesn’t matter what Adrian does. Maybe he will take Cruz’s stick in the future and become a new generation of idols. It’s not necessarily... well, it seems that he is like this?
There are two reasons why I chose to make "Seven Deadly Sins". Yes, yes, Kevin Spice and David Finch. The more talents you have in your hands, the better, just like Michael Bay who is waiting for his debut. It's really interesting to say, both Michael Bay and David Finch have accumulated experience by shooting MTV, but the two have embarked on two completely opposite paths in film production. This is the difference between people.
Okay, the topic has gone further. In short, Adrian noticed Kevin Spice and David Finch two years ago, because their agents are all affiliated with the media acquisition. Company, and it was just before Adrian's acquisition. In fact, the company's agents also served several Adrian familiar actors and directors who were not yet known, and it was precisely because of this that they became their acquisition targets.
In short, the idea of making "The Seven Deadly Sins" came out at that time. After all, it was Finch's famous work. The script was also written by the writers early. Now it is just mentioned on the agenda.
"Okay, so be it." After talking for more than half an hour, Adrian stood up and shook hands with several people again, "I look forward to your performance, gentlemen. Especially you, Kevin, if you can Give me a completely different image, people can't think of the image of the real estate agent in "Glengarry Glen Ross", I have a wonderful script to give you."
"Really?" Spacy raised his eyebrows, looking flattered.
"Of course," Adrian's smile looks unpredictable, "In a sense, this is a one-man show, needs very good acting skills, should I bet this, Kevin?"
"Then wait and see." Spacy nodded. Although hiding his emotions as well as you, the excitement in his eyes did not escape Adrian's eyes.
After Freeman and Dennis congratulated and encouraged patting on Spasci, Finch, with his chin in his mouth, then asked again: "Yes, do you have any suggestions for the heroine, Ed?"
"Oh, I originally planned to have a small-scale audition, but the day before I returned from Alabama, I suddenly thought of a good candidate, but I haven't contacted yet." Adrian said, "I will Determine it as soon as possible, don’t worry, I guarantee that she will match the character image."
"Okay, then I will say goodbye." Finch didn't care about it, and said he was ready to leave when he knew it.
The same was true of the other three, who greeted Adrian and left.
"Wait, Dan, I still have something to talk to you about." Adrian stopped Dennis.
After everyone else left the meeting room, Adrian immediately threw Dennis punch with a smile: "What happened recently? Your spirit seems not very good today."
"Is it obvious?" Dennis asked in surprise.
"Of course not, but don't forget that I know you very well." Adrian said with a smile.
Dennis sighed and spread his hands but didn’t speak. Seeing that he didn’t want to talk about it, Adrian immediately shifted the topic to the topic: "How does it feel? This role is different from the past."
"Fortunately," Dennis squeezed his nose, and his expression suddenly changed. "It's no problem if you just put that emotion in. After all, everyone has been impulsive and irritable. But master it It’s a good degree. I’m afraid I still need to practice repeatedly to dig deep into the role. Besides, I don’t know anything about David’s directing style, and I don’t know what the role is in his mind, so...”
He made a gesture and sighed: "Why didn't you direct it, Ed?"
"Why, it is easier for you to name my role requirements?" Adrian asked jokingly.
"Of course not," Dennis waved his hand. "You know, those directors and producers privately say that your directing style is unpredictable, even for the two very similar movies "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels" and "Pulp Fiction". There are surprisingly different things in many places, so how can I be clear about your role requirements."
"Ha, this is a compliment, isn't it?" Adrian raised his hand and exaggerated with exaggeration.
"It's true," Dennis shrugged. "What I want to say is that if you change your direction, we will obviously communicate more conveniently, and it will be easier to understand what effect you want."
"Another compliment, it's almost flattering." Adrian said with a smile, then patted Dennis's arm: "That's it, you never let me down Dan, so don't do it this time."
After a pause, he said again: "In addition, I have a suggestion to have a good relationship with David."
Adrian looked at Dennis and said seriously: "Remember what I told you before? You are not suitable for all the movies I want to make, and he is a good director."
Dennis probably digested his words for a few seconds, then reacted and nodded: "I know, thank you."
The smiling Adrian patted his arm again, but Dennis showed a hesitant look at the thought.
"What's wrong?" Adrian, who sensed this, asked immediately.
"Um..." After hesitating for a few minutes, Dennis said, "I remember we talked about TV actors before. You said that like Jane, she got a very high score in a popular series. After the popularity, it will be difficult to transform."
"Yes, I remember I told you that "Friends" has to be filmed for at least ten seasons, and their image has been fixed in the eyes of the audience. Once changed, it will be unacceptable." Adrian point Nodded.
"Is there no other way?" Dennis asked frowning.
"Unless..." Adrian thought for a while, "Unless there is a conscious change from now on, such as acting in a role that is completely opposite to the character in the TV series, this may be able to dilute the inherent image that has not been fully established."
"So, what role do you think Jane is suitable for?" Dennis asked immediately.
Adrian thought while holding his chin, and a somewhat mischievous thought came up: "Janey's image in "Friends" is a sweet type, and there are some confused images of the young lady, which can be played if you want to change it. Some, more powerful women with many action scenes."
"Action movie? You mean, let Jane deal with the opposite **** or terrorists like Ripley or McLean?" Dennis showed an incredible expression. Obviously such a lens cannot, or it is difficult Outlined in his head.
"Why not?" Adrian said with a smile, "You know, just an hour ago, I also discussed with a screenwriter and director about how to show the power of women in film and television works, and decided to make a girl rescue. In the world's TV series, why can't Jane try to play such a role in the movie?"
When it comes to the back, Adrian's tone is obviously ridiculous, but Dennis pondered and then asked: "So, do you have a suitable role, Ed?"
"The right character? It seems..." Adrian just wanted to answer, and suddenly thought of something that looked at Dennis with a smile, "What's wrong with you today, Dan? Why are you so enthusiastic about Jane's affairs?"
Denneston shuddered, revealing an innocent look: "Are you there?"
"Of course, you talk about the right role from the transition, and then whether you have it now."
"That's because...we are friends, we are very good friends."
"Oh, yeah, very good friends, come on, Dan, tell me, are you going to bed?"
Opened his mouth, Dennis smiled bitterly, and finally covered his forehead: "Yes."
The answer was weak, as if making a big mistake, Adrian could not help shaking his head: "Come on, Dan, it’s just going to bed, do you need to go to the confession room to confess?"
"But we have always been friends."
"Why didn't you expect it when you went to bed with her?"
"Because it was an accident party held at her house, and then we all drank a lot of wine, just when Noni was not around, we quarreled again, so we were confused..."
"No, no, dear Dan, there is nothing unexpected about this. I bet you will definitely come again once you wake up the next morning, right?"
Dennis’s throat rolled down, glaring at Adrian and seemed to want to refute, and finally dropped his head: "Okay, Ed, shall we not talk about this issue, please?"
"Do you think that there wouldn't exist if you don't talk, man?" Adrian did not let him go, "I bet, Jane must have the mind to pursue you."
"She has already confessed," Dennis sighed. "After the passion that morning, she announced that she would pursue me."
"So you want to compensate Jane in this way, and then draw a line with her," Adrian shook her head, "You want me to say how you are, Dan? You are a fool, if you dare If you say so to Jane, you're done."
"But it's better than it is now. I love Noni. Although we often quarrel, I don't want to hurt her." Dennis said, seeing Adrian want to speak quickly and said: "Don't think of yourself as The example is given, I am not like you, you can just let a few women circling around yourself in a casual way."
"You guys," Adrian smiled and shook his head, eyes Dennis so he didn't say anything, "Okay, I will pay attention to the action characters suitable for Jane for you. Other things will be handled by myself." "
He said that there was a pause, and he smiled again: "Well, I will do you a favor again. I have other movies to ask when I come back. One of them is going to invite your girlfriend to appear. "
"You mean Noni?" Dennis was surprised.
"Yes, so you can come with her, understand?" Adrian said impliedly.
"You won't?" Dennis made a gesture~IndoMTL.com~Do you think I am the kind of person? "Adrian raised her eyebrows immediately.
"Of course not," Dennis raised his hand for the first time. "Thank you, thank you very much."
What a fool, such a good opportunity. After coming out of the meeting room, Adrian has been nagging in his heart. But when he returned to the office, he threw it behind his head, because Charlize walked in with the schedule for tomorrow.
"I have already contacted her agent and the appointment is scheduled for tomorrow afternoon. In addition, a woman called to find you just now." Charlize said in a cold tone. "If you can, please tell me , What other women do you have, so that I can arrange better for you."
"You know, Charlie," Adrian looked at her with a meaningful smile, "I never hide it."
Charlize grumbled and turned away from the room.
It's jealous again. Adrian thought with a smile, then flipped over what she left behind, and a trace of accident appeared in his eyes. I thought you had given up and didn't expect it to come in the end.
