King of Hollywood Chapter 80: Dissatisfied Claude
Since the "Pulp Fiction" of the previous life can get the Golden Palm of the Cannes Film Festival, the probability of getting it now should be very high, not to mention Adrian, who knows very well about the history of the film, clearly remembers that in the 65th Cannes film next year "Betrayal of Goodwill", which won the Golden Palm at the festival, is the most mediocre work that won the previous Cannes Film Festival.
Speaking of it, it is really black humor. Quentin made "Pulp Fiction" obviously for entertainment, but it was interpreted by the film critics into various versions, and the result was the Golden Palm of Cannes. Although there are also public relations factors for the production of Miramax, it is undeniable that the critics who made the mystery are helpful.
In Adrian's view, the feature of this film is mainly in two aspects, one is the ring structure of the chapter body, the three stories and the characters in it affect each other; the second is the theme of impermanence, of course, this theme is very hidden, For example, John Travolta, who shined like the protagonist in the first quarter, was killed by Bruce Willis as soon as he played in the second quarter, and for example, the gang boss initially aggressively chased Bruce and was later exploded. Ju had to rely on Bruce to escape the birth, not to mention Samuel Jackson and John Travolta in the car in the third quarter, when they were unintentional to headshot the guy in the back seat, etc. The details are everywhere, and film critics will feel excellent, probably related to this.
After all, "Pulp Fiction" in the previous life was launched in 1994. The style of circular narrative and the alternative description of violence were indeed amazing in those days. Now, Adrian intends to advance this movie to 92 years, he already has two cult genre works "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels" and "Memento", it is also a matter of course to make such a movie, that is, the box office may be because of the previous two There are fewer movies-of course, there may be more.
Although Cannes’ Golden Palm is not as influential as the Oscars in the United States, it has a high reputation internationally and is an award that many directors dream of. Since there is such a good opportunity at present, Adrian will naturally not let go, as for Quentin... or continue to be your video rental store owner, I will find more people to patronize in the future.
Actually, the first plan of Adrian was to start shooting "Howard Estate" after completing "Scent of a Woman", but then I realized that the Cannes Film Festival was held in mid-May. If you choose to make "Howard Estate", then anyway It is impossible to rush out "Pulp Fiction" before May, even if he now has the title of a madman in the company privately.
Well, it’s no big deal, just exchange the production process of the two films. Anyway, the adaptation of the novel Howard Manor is in your own hands, and you don’t have to worry about being robbed.
In addition to the many scenes of the movie "Pulp Fiction", there is no need to pay attention to the director's skills, so if he turned on at the end of January 1992, he was sure to complete the shooting mission in mid-March, and then It took another month and a half to produce the post-production, and the time was just right. Of course, the first prerequisite to do this is to complete the late stage of "Scent of a Woman" earlier and the script of "Pulp Fiction" earlier.
Therefore, Claude was very dissatisfied with him.
"To be honest, Ed, if your father didn't call you, would you stay at home and not go anywhere." Standing in the corner of the hall, Claude looked at the talking people in the center of the venue , Ridiculously asked Adrian.
"How is it possible..." Adrian originally wanted to make a joke, but after Claude turned his head and looked at him with a smile, he then changed his mouth: "In fact, if the godfather did not call , I will go out shopping with Cate, then have dinner and drive around, and finally go to Marbury’s villa to see, you know, I haven’t been there for a long time."
"Don't tell me, you haven't received my call before." Claude narrowed his eyes.
"But you didn't make it clear on the phone, did you?" Adrian spread his hands, and it seemed a bit rogue.
Claude looked at him for a long while, and then sighed: "I don’t know what to say, Ed. Two years ago, you hung out all night, your home was just a place to sleep; two years later You are busy with your business all day, and you can hardly even sleep. Although I understand your urgency, it is undoubtedly stupid to go from one extreme to the other."
"Hey, when am I so busy that I can't sleep anymore, I admit that my time is always tight these days, but my work and rest are very reasonable." Adrian reminded.
"I asked you to go to Puslan for a drink at the beginning of last month and you refused it; I invited you to the party three weeks ago, and you refused it; ten days ago I asked you to go to the racecourse to run horses, and you still Refuse," Claude counted unhurriedly. "Your schedule is really reasonable. The price is to refuse me time and time again. If you want, I can cite all of last year."
"Okay, okay, I admit this is my negligence, so that is good, next time you look for me to do anything, I definitely agree." Adrian said quickly, and added a sentence after thinking about it: "No matter what What am I doing!"
"Are you sure?" Claude looked at him and asked seriously. After receiving an affirmative answer from Adrian, he immediately said: "Okay~IndoMTL.com~ Next Thursday we will go to my father's golf course to play a few How is the game?"
"Oh hell! You can't be like this, Crow!" Adrian rolled his eyes immediately. He had already thought of what he was about to say, but Crowder took the lead.
Basically, the children of the rich family will learn activities such as horse riding, fencing, tennis, and golf. This is a game of high society, and the racecourse and the golf course are also places of communication. Many businesses are playing golf. Decided at the time. Adrian riding is okay, tennis is also good, fencing is barely strong, but golf is very bad.
In the memory of Adrian, it is quite common to throw out the club when the previous Adrian swings. Even the situation of throwing yourself out sometimes happens. Claude proposed to play golf, making it clear that he wanted to see his jokes.
"Hey, you promised me just now, do you want to repent now?" Claude asked with a smile.
"This... this is not fair!" Adrian spoke a word after a while.
"This world is unfair, Ed." Claude said lazily.
"Damn it!" Adrian looked at him annoyed.
Fortunately, a voice came and broke the deadlock here: "Hey, Ed, Crow, you are here."
"Hi, Dad."
"Hi, Godfather."
The two turned around and looked at the old man in unison. Another person beside the old man couldn't help laughing: "You have an excellent son and godson, Mr. Ron Reese."
See clearly that the Adrian of the coming person suddenly raised his eyebrows.
(Ahhhh, all kinds of requests, all kinds of requests, please give it a bit...)
