King of Hollywood Chapter 68: Press conference
People from several companies gathered in the lounge to discuss the preparation of Jurassic Park. "Captain Hook" has basically been produced and is only waiting for the release. Spielberg also took a break and received confirmation from his old friend Lucas. It is technically not difficult to produce realistic CG dinosaurs with a computer. , Plus the appearance of "T-1000" shocked many people, so "Jurassic Park" was put on the agenda.
It’s just now that all the people in charge are going to participate in the premiere of “Shoushenk’s Salvation”, and they will simply talk at the premiere without arranging another time-of course, Adrian’s commitment is also Spielberg’s One of motivation.
Although Adrian was invited to the lounge to participate in the discussion, more often he played the role of a listener. Because of the previous agreement, Spielberg served as the director and producer, so the film crew was almost at his disposal. As a screenwriter, Adrian only needs to answer his questions at any time.
"I don’t agree with your idea, Steven, I admit that if you change to the end of the match with the dragon and the dragon according to your ideas, it will give a very strong sense of tension and excitement, but you ignore it. The Tyrannosaurus's body gives a sense of oppression and shock. Think about it. The tyrannosaurus who chased the protagonists extremely hard was instantly killed by the Tyrannosaurus. This huge contrast has no less impact on the audience. The battle of Velociraptor, isn't it?" Adrian replied when Spielberg proposed to modify the scene at the end. Although all the power is given to him, it does not mean that he must obey him. Who knows better than Adrian how to make this movie to make money?
Spielberg accepted this opinion after considering it for a while, and then turned to talk with his assistant about the candidate of the protagonist. It sounds as if he intends to invite Harrison Ford and Juliet Binoche to play the protagonist.
Adrian could not help but shook his head and listened to a few simple interventions: "About a few main characters, I can recommend several candidates. Sam Neal and Laura Dunn can play Grant and Sutter, respectively. , Jeff Goldbrun plays Malcolm, and Sir Richard Attenborough can play Hammond."
Spielberg's idea is good but unrealistic, even if there is no future memory, Adrian knows this. "Jurassic Park" is a group drama from beginning to end, there is no special protagonist, how can Harrison Ford, who is already a Hollywood star, take it? Even if he has a very good relationship with Spielberg. As for Juliet Binoche, how many commercials has this French actress played?
"Sir Richard Attenborough?" Spielberg was surprised.
"I know, he has never acted in a movie, but there will be no first time for everything, is it?" Adrian said with a wave of his hand: "Well, I just made suggestions, how to consider that is Your business."
Spielberg nodded and said that he would consider his opinions, and then discussed with the person in charge of Universal. More than an hour passed quickly, and the movie was about to end and the main things were basically settled. The people in the lounge immediately ended the discussion and got up and left. But Adrian was stopped by Spielberg when he left.
"Conservative estimate, the early stage may take 4 months or more time to prepare, you know, we can't replace all the lenses with computer CG, the necessary models still need to be made. And also need to find a few paleontology The home guides us, we have to shoot them as animals rather than monsters. Therefore, I am afraid that the official start-up will go to March next year." Spielberg said to him in this way.
"It doesn't matter, everything is up to you, I have enough patience." Adrian waved his hand, he knew what the other party really wanted to say, "You can rest assured, Steven, I promised you— —Or so, even if the box office is losing money, I still come up with 20 million investment "Schindler's List", how do you think?"
Spielberg was stunned. The reason why he would say these things to Adrian, in addition to implying that he needs a lot of time to patiently make this movie, he also wanted to remind him of the good things he said, after all It was just a verbal agreement. Unexpectedly, he got such an answer, which is really unexpected.
"That's it." Adrian didn't wait for him to speak, smiled and patted his arm out.
"Schindler's List" must be won anyway, although there have been many movies about the Jewish Holocaust after World War II, whether it is the "Anne Diary" of the 1970s or the future "Beautiful Life", " "The Pianist" does not have the advantage of "Schindler's List", that is, it has entertainment attributes! With this, it means that it can spread more widely!
However, there is still a period of time before that. Wait until Spielberg finishes "Jurassic Park". Adrian is thinking about walking to the front hall so much, and there is now a more important thing to do. The movie is almost over, and the press conference will naturally follow. Those guys are not that easy to be dismissed.
This is indeed the case. Although Robbins and Freeman, who starred, attracted attention, the reporters still pointed the gun to Adrian after a few questions.
“Mr. Adrian, remember that you said that this is a perfect movie. Although I think the movie is really outstanding, I even applauded everyone for Andy looking up at the sky in the rain, but I still feel that there is a difference with perfection. Small distance ~ IndoMTL.com ~ Do you still insist on this statement?" a reporter asked.
"First of all, I want to correct one thing, my wording is: near perfect. This and perfect are two concepts, and I think everyone should be clear that there is no perfect thing in this world-of course, this is not It prevents us from pursuing perfection. Secondly, if you carefully analyze the relatively glorious reports, you will find that the near perfection in my mouth refers to the process of being suppressed and then happily venting out to make it almost perfect. Mr. Wei also said just now, he also applauded Andy’s escape, didn’t he?” Adrian said unhurriedly.
Because the phrase "approximate perfection" was misinterpreted, this period of time has been accused of being too arrogant. Although some small and medium-sized newspapers are making noises in order to win eyeballs, Adrian still dare not carelessly, and self bragging also depends on the situation.
"I noticed that the word "institutionalization" has appeared in the movie several times, and the most important supporting role Brooks also committed suicide because of institutionalization. May I ask Mr. Adrian, do you want to use this metaphor for anything?" A reporter asked.
"I just want to say that everyone encounters such difficulties in life more or less, and it is difficult to accept change after staying in an environment for a long time. At this time, we should all break free from the constraints like a bird. Fly." Adrian simply replied, "The yearning for freedom is the core of the whole movie."
While continuing to answer each other’s questions, a little of Adrian’s thoughts turned to other things. He hadn’t watched the movie before. I don’t know how the audience would react. How much will the box office premiere?
(the layout was too much in the early stage of being approved, depressed, there is one more at night, please recommend for collection!!!)
