King of Hollywood

Chapter 60 Come and Go

Although several major entertainment-oriented magazines published in April 1995 used the latest Oscar-winning director Adrian as the cover, but the focus is different. For example, "Vanity Fair" has more entertainment elements, although Adrian Ann was dressed in formal attire at the time, but the photo on their cover looked a bit ostentatious because of the well-controlled angle and light; while "Time" was more serious, and the one on the cover was Adrian's Half-length frontal portrait, frowning slightly, hands crossed on the chair, giving people a calm and confident temperament. 【Leaf*Zi】【Yu*Yu】

For the same reason, the published interview content also has its own emphasis.

"I didn't aim at too many things at the beginning, I just wanted to make a movie that could resonate with people, and Forrest Gump is such an image, simple-minded, innocent and somewhat lacking in opinion, he is an ordinary American citizen* The epitome of *type, when people watch him running on the screen and experiencing so many historical events, they will have a strong sense of substitution, because this is what happened to them..." "Variety" reported Basically, it was put on "Forrest Gump". After all, the Oscars have not been over for long, and "Forrest Gump" is still a hot topic.

The same is true of "Vanity Fair", but they are more focused on Adrian's film talent: "...although there have been many talented people in Hollywood, they have always been screenwriters, directors, producers, and productions. It is a surprising work, but there are very few outstanding ones like Adrian. If you count all the movies that have something to do with him, the global box office must have exceeded 100 million. He can always make achievements in unexpected places Come on, the uproar two years ago is still fresh in my memory..."

Relatively speaking, "Time" is the most fair, objective and comprehensive among all magazines. His reports are not limited to Adrian's film career, but also involve many other aspects.

“…When I asked him how he ran the company, he paused for about two seconds, then laughed, a little self-deprecating. 'I hardly give a shit, Alan,' he said, 'although I Very good at film, but terrible at business, so the company has been entrusted to my best friend to take care of it'.

Although I know this, I am still curious about his attitude towards his company's development to this point, and his answer is both expected and unexpected. ‘Claude is doing a good job, I don’t have any complaints, since he is not good at it, why bother to point fingers? Anyway, selling Bosworth Films in the first place was a better way to make movies. ’ He answered like this, open-minded, confident and energetic, this is how Adrian feels to me..."

However, the reports of the magazines will be biased, of course, because of their different positions, and Adrian allowed them to ask a question in private, which is also one of the reasons. Although it is a joint interview, but to establish a good relationship with them separately, it is better to give some news different from other magazines, and this can also boost sales.

Although this idea is a bit superfluous, it has indeed won the favor of these magazines, especially "Vanity Fair", which has a close relationship with him. After the new issue of these magazines, the sales of these magazines have basically increased significantly, especially "Time". Although Adrian's exposure rate in recent years is very appropriate, people still know a lot about him because of his previous remarkable achievements, such as the youngest Palme d'Or winner and the controversy on both sides of the Atlantic in 1992, so even if he Now that it has won the Oscar for Best Director, if there is something new, it will be more eye-catching.

Several magazines actually know this, so they still think of a lot of ways to report, but "Time" is relatively comprehensive, and this is the first time Adrian has officially admitted his bsp; Afterwards, the youngest best director in the history of the Oscars once again became a topic that people talked about. His achievements, character, and works were all discussed, but the most discussed was his private life. After all, the scandal with Julia Roberts was still raging at the beginning, and Monica Bellucci was added later, although it finally subsided because of the indifference of the parties involved, people are still guessing .

More importantly, in this joint interview, all the reports of the magazines have more or less slightly mentioned that Adrian raised questions about feelings from the very beginning and refused to answer them, which immediately made countless people think about it. , Guess who he was with, Julia? Or Monica? Or someone else? You must know that the newspapers often have their noses and eyes telling where they saw the miracle director dating whoever. As a result, the attention of Julia and the others has also increased a lot.

Adrian didn't know this. After the joint interview, he went to London. The filming of "Braveheart" was coming to an end. What if he didn't hurry up and finish it, besides, he still had a movie to make. And even if he knew about these gossips, he wouldn't take them to heart. The facts are more surprising than their guesses.

There are only two main shots left in "Braveheart". One is Wallace shouting "freedom" during the execution, and the other is the British royal family-long tuǐ Edward, the crown prince, and Isabella and others responding to the execution. Reaction. This scene was filmed by Adrian deliberately at the end, and it didn't take much effort anyway, even if it was a perfect ending to the filming.

But here is a little different from the original version. Isabella didn't say in Edward's ear that she was pregnant with Wallace's bone u, she just cursed him for not being able to get God's forgiveness. In Adrian's memory, the most criticized point of "Braveheart" is that Wallace seems to be not as loyal to his wife as he said. When we met, he said that she and his wife were similar in some ways.

This line that lays the groundwork for the future relationship is disgusted by many people, who think it has ruined the image of Wallace created by the entire movie. If you think about it carefully, it's not difficult to guess Mel Gibson's intentions, but unfortunately, with his somewhat arrogant and rough personality, it's just his delusion.

Now that Adrian is in charge of the conduction, why does he do those thankless things? And as the princess, Isabella may have a good impression of Wallace, but having a relationship and getting pregnant is a bit outrageous. Even if this is a joke about history, there should be a limit.

So he rewrote this scene. Isabella and Wallace did have a mutual affection, but it was limited to the spiritual level, that is, a platonic love, which made the whole story more suitable. Be logical.

Although Adrian won the Oscar for Best Director and broke two records in a row, the British media circled around the set again, but he successfully completed the final filming within a week. WWw.YZUU click m and two days after the end, the magazine that published the joint interview was published, leaving the British media who wanted to dig further into the content.

When they faced the depressed studio with few people, Adrian was strolling in the streets of Luxembourg with freshly squeezed juice, and there was no one else shopping with him except Sophie Marceau .

"I like to walk slowly on this quaint street. These buildings with traces of time are a model of art." After walking in front of a Gothic building in the old city, Adrian said to Sophie said.

"You also admit that the accumulation of history is art?" Sophie blinked her eyes as if she had discovered a new continent. The thin windbreaker does not have the usual melancholy, but is more playful and cute that does not match the age.

"What I want to express is that art needs time to accumulate. Although the word time is largely synonymous with history, it is also different." Adrian shook her finger and corrected her statement .

"But don't these beautiful buildings have artistic value precisely because of the precipitation of history?" Sophie said with a smile. Her current appearance can be described as a charming smile, and at the same time, she is a little proud. It seemed interesting to catch Adrian's rhetorical slips.

"You can't do this, Sophie." Adrian sighed, looking at him half helplessly and half depressed.

Sophie smiled suddenly, looking particularly relaxed and freehand, and then waved her hand: "Well, I'm basically sure, you hate European directors, Ed."

"This conclusion is a bit arbitrary, Sophie, I'm just emphasizing that they don't know how to tell stories, and storytelling is the most important part of movies." Adrian spread his hands innocently.

"Emphasize that they don't know how to tell stories, and emphasize the importance of the story." Sophie squeezed her chin and said these two sentences, obviously not intending to let go of this difficult opportunity to make Adrian depressed.

Adrian stopped, crossed his arms and looked at Sophie for a long time, then suddenly said, "Try to be a director, Sophie."

"To be a director?" Sophie looked at him in confusion.

"Yeah, you have acted in so many movies, you should also know something about the work of a director, how about trying to direct a work?" Adrian pinched his chin and said, "Make a movie yourself, You will have a more direct and deeper understanding of the industry of directing, I can invest, as long as you agree, but remember not to direct and act on your own, that will distract you, and in the end, you can’t do well on both sides—how about it?”

"This is really..." Sophie made gestures and didn't know what to say, her expression seemed to be a little floating. Adrian's proposal obviously touched something in her heart.

"Let's not talk about this for now, let's find a place to have lunch." Adrian patted her on the shoulder understandingly.

The two went to the Grand Canyon of Luxembourg for a tour in the afternoon, and visited many distinctive streets. They didn't return to the hotel where they stayed until almost ten o'clock in the evening.

"What a beautiful day, thank you, Ed." Stopping at the door of her room, Sophie said with a smile.

"It should be me thanking you, Sophie, thank you for being with me for several days." Adrian's tone was full of sincerity.

"Anyway, I don't have anything else to do for the time being, so let's just take it easy." Sophie shrugged, her eyes became a little wandering.

The two of them didn't speak any more. Sophie moved her hands together and glanced at Adrian from time to time. Adrian lowered his eyelids and looked at the ground without knowing what he was thinking. The atmosphere in the corridor became subtle. After a long time like this, Sophie sighed softly: "Are you going back to Los Angeles tomorrow?"

"Yes, the filming of the new movie has been completed, and everyone needs to rest. I just take this opportunity to go back and deal with other things." Adrian nodded.

"Then, have a good trip." Sophie smiled slightly, but she looked a little awkward.

"Can you?" Adrian suddenly asked in a low voice, and Sophie saw that he had no answer.

Then Adrian leaned over, leaned in front of her, hesitated again, and then gently ěn on her net flap. Although it was just a touch and go like last time in Paris, Sophie could feel the nostalgia from her mouth.

"Good night, Sophie, have a good dream." Adrian smiled gently, turned and entered his room.

Sophie stood at the door for a while longer, dazed, as if she was thinking about something, until a passer-by walked up to her and asked her if she needed help, and then she shook her head and went into her room.

"God, what's wrong with me, why have I become so strange." After returning to the room, the beautiful woman began to walk back and forth in the room irritably, while muttering to herself, after coming here for a long time Only then did she lie down on the sofa a little slumped and stared at the ceiling in a daze.

I don't know when it started, Sophie has been used to this kind of scene, Adrian chats with her or invites her out for a walk after the filming. They would discuss a variety of topics, and although some disputes would arise due to different views, such as the art and European directors in the morning, they never had any quarrels.

Adrian is very gentlemanly and personable. He can always detect changes in the atmosphere at the first time, and then cleverly change the topic and put aside the controversy. Sophie has seldom talked with others so freely over the years. Andre's childlike appearance when he is angry, although she can fully tolerate it with her maternal side, but after so many years, she will always get tired of it again. Otherwise, why did you completely break up with him before?

"Okay, Sophie, don't think so much, you will be able to adjust soon." Sophie closed her eyes and murmured, but how could her numb heart be straightened out.

After Adrian invited her to act as the heroine of the new movie, Sophie also entrusted a friend to help investigate his situation. Sophie kept a distance from him after they met again.

After 66, Sophie had heard of so many women coming to the set to look for him one after another, and she could tell that his beautiful female secretary must have a lot to do with him, and later came a big belly His girlfriend, these should have further reduced Adrian's impression in Sophie's heart, but his words about marriage and responsibility moved her somehow, and then they talked all the way down. Among other things, at least when chatting with Adrian, Sophie didn't think about Andre at all, not once.

"Okay, that's it, don't think about it, let's rest." Sophie sat up suddenly, shaking her head as if she wanted to throw these troublesome things out, but after tossing and turning on netg for a long time, she was confused fell asleep.

"Did you not sleep well last night?" Standing under the gangway of the private plane, Adrian pointed to Sophie's slightly dark eye sockets, and asked earnestly in a concerned tone.

"Yes, I thought of something and went to bed very late." Sophie didn't deny it, but she reserved the key points, and her complicated look never changed.

"Take care." Adrian didn't say much, and after hugging Sophie, he walked up the gangway, and turned around in less than two steps: "By the way, I will return to London soon, and I will return to London soon." There's a new movie coming up, can I come and see you?"

Sophie opened her mouth, was stunned for a few more seconds, and finally smiled and nodded: "You are very welcome."

"Then, remember that I have to promise that if you really want to try directing, I can provide you with a chance." Adrian then said again, and after Sophie showed a helpless look, he entered the cabin with a laugh.

You don't like marriage, you resist and fear marriage, isn't that just right for me? You want to be a director, you are eager to be recognized, and I can give you a chance. Adrian, who was sitting by the window, watched Sophie who had already left and said in his heart. You see, after getting to know someone well enough through contact and memory verification, all you have to do is treat the symptoms.

Looking away, Adrian opened his mouth to call for someone, but then he realized that he and Sophie had traveled to Luxembourg, and Charlize had already returned to Los Angeles ahead of schedule.

Has it really reached the point where he can't leave her for a moment? Adrian shook his head with a grin. Thinking of the situation that day, he couldn't help but feel hot again. He accidentally took such a big step closer. It seemed that he would be able to enjoy the full version of office romance soon.

Look, this is the nature of a man, Sophie has only been away from him for a few minutes, and he has already started thinking about Charlize.

After more than a week, Adrian returned to Los Angeles from London again. The crew of "Braveheart" came back partly, and partly stayed in London, because there is a new film that will be filmed in the UK soon. Adrian Ann had to go back in a few days, so the post-production of "Braveheart" was produced in London like "Two Smoking Barrels".

If it wasn't for dealing with things, he wouldn't want to run around like this, jet lag alone would kill him. It's not that Adrian doesn't want to finish everything in one go, but that some things can't be done right away, such as appeasing Kate's growing belly, or paying attention to the acquisition case, and about the protagonist of "Titanic" Candidates and so on.
