With the official opening of the Cannes Film Festival on May 12th, this seaside town has become more lively. Reporters are holding cameras against cameras and rushing back and forth at various news release points, tirelessly collecting those that can attract attention. news, gossip and anecdotes. It is also rare for male and female stars from all over the world to allow them to shoot, ask questions, and promote themselves or the film authors they star in.

Compared with the United States, Adrian is less famous in Europe. After all, except for "Two Smoking Barrels" among the three works, the stories of the other two all take place in the United States. Ordinary people in Europe prefer commercial American films, while artistic self-proclaimed critics think that neither film is artistic enough.

However, it’s just a little small. There are not a few audiences who like cult style, suspense, and weird ideas. The thoughtfulness shown in "Memento" and "The Shawshank Redemption" can be said to be popular among critics. The thoughtfulness in the eyes is also commendable. Therefore, on May 16, when "Pulp Fiction" premiered at the Kappa Theater on Marsden Avenue, although American journalists accounted for a lot, European journalists also came.

"According to the current plot introduction, Mr. Adrian, your new movie is still a cult type, and it seems to be narrated in three paragraphs. So this time, are you working hard on editing like "Memory Fragments"?" Outside the railing, amidst the sound of snapping pictures, a French reporter raised his microphone and asked loudly.

It's just that his English is really bad. Adrian can basically understand it if he switches to French, but it's a pity that he can't understand what he is saying at all in such a noisy situation.

"Can I repeat that?" Adrian asked in French.

The reporter immediately realized his question, and immediately asked the question again in French, but Adrian's answer made him dumbfounded: "I'm sorry, I can't answer this question, the movie will be shown soon, or use Watch it with your own eyes. Sure, I promise, it's a fun movie."

I finally seized the opportunity to ask my own question, and repeated it several times before letting the other party understand. I didn't expect to get such an answer, and anyone would feel depressed. He still wanted to continue to ask, but unfortunately the American reporter next to him had already snatched this opportunity: "Mr. Adrian, is it because the fourth movie is not satisfactory that you chose the cult genre for the fifth movie?"

Reporters from other surrounding countries immediately pricked up their ears. This news had spread to Europe a long time ago. It's a pity that Adrian didn't answer directly, but just smiled slightly: "I'm sorry, today is the premiere of "Pulp Fiction", so I won't answer questions that have nothing to do with this movie."

"Then can I take it as your acquiescence?" the American reporter asked unwillingly.

Adrian did not answer, and looked around to signal for others to ask questions. An Italian reporter immediately said, "Mr. Adrian, can you tell us why we chose Ms. Monica Bellucci to star in this movie?" The heroine?"

"Because she is the most suitable." Adrian said as he held Monica who was always by his side. She was wearing a sleeve-colored low-cut evening dress today, which set off her graceful figure so slender, murderous A lot of film.

"As the mistress of a gangster, the heroine needs to give people a sexy, provocative and unruly feeling. I have selected many actresses for this purpose, but I have not found the most suitable one until Monica participated in the Audition." Adrian said and looked at Monica next to him with admiration, "Although she doesn't have much experience, I knew she was the role I was looking for after a little acting, so I did not hesitate. Choose Monica."

Monica didn't speak, but looked at the reporters with a smile. Although her aura was not as strong as it was a few years later, it also made many people's eyes brighten—especially the Italian reporters.

"It turns out that my decision was very correct. Monica's performance in the film is almost perfect. She is like my muse, which gave me a lot of inspiration in the middle of shooting." Adrian continued, surrounding After some reporters were stunned for two or three seconds, their expressions immediately became ambiguous.

Generally speaking, when a director calls the heroine in his movie his muse, it can only mean one thing. Of course, no one would be foolish enough to pierce that layer of paper. Tabloids can write whatever they want because everyone knows that 90% of what they say is not credible, but those famous newspapers must abide by such unspoken rules, unless there is a real Evidence, but it's also a hint that there's news to dig between them.

Looking at the entrance of the theater not far away, Adrian immediately took Monica's arm and walked inside. The reporters who wanted to continue asking questions could only give up, and then picked up the camera to shoot them in the background. .

"Are you serious, Ed?" After entering the front hall of the theater, Monica suddenly asked in a low voice.

"Of course," Adrian replied without thinking, "During the filming of "Pulp Fiction", you were indeed my muse, otherwise I wouldn't have paid so much attention to you."

"Not anymore?" A complex look flashed across Monica's face.

"Frankly speaking, I'm not sure," Adrian stopped and looked at her, his earnest expression made him look sincere, "But, my crush on you is definitely not adulterated, Monica."

Monica was silent for a few seconds, and then said provocatively: "You said that I was your muse in front of the reporter, so you are not afraid that your little girlfriend will be jealous?"

"It's what it is. You were indeed my muse during the filming. Why can't I admit it?" Adrian shrugged, looking quite free and easy.

Monica's expression became more complicated. She opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she just sighed. Adrian smiled slightly, and after lightly pinching her hips, he continued to walk inside with her in his arms.

"Hey, Ed, oh, and Monica." John Travolta, who had come to the screening hall early, greeted with a smile, and Samuel Jackson, Dennis, and Laverne were also with him Together, besides Bruce Willis and his wife Demi Moore.

"You guys ran so fast, you left all the reporters to me and Monie." Adrian walked up to them and said teasingly.

"As a director and producer, you should take on more responsibilities than us, shouldn't you? Besides you..." Taravolta who was joking was talking, suddenly realized something, spread his hands with a smile and did not continue go down.

Basically, everyone is well aware of the matter between Adrian and Monica, and more or less knows that he still has a girlfriend, but no one has anything to say about it——Dennis, who knows best Keep your mouth shut. Everyone was a man and understood the situation very well, even Willis and Taravolta, who were married.

After greeting each other a few words, Adrian talked and laughed with the Willis couple for a while, and everyone sat down and waited for the movie to be released.

"How's the situation?" Adrian asked Laverne sitting on his right hand in a low voice.

"It's not very good, you know, we have been wasting time for at least several years before, although you started to reorganize your contacts after you acquired the company, but once this thing is abandoned, and you want to pick it up again, sometimes it is better than building a new one. It is even more difficult than that. More importantly, this is Europe." Laverne said softly, but he seemed very calm.

"It doesn't matter, there is still time anyway." Adrian also noticed this, "Do your best, as long as you do your best, it doesn't matter if you lose."

"I will." Laverne nodded.

The two of them were naturally discussing the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival. Although the original version of "Pulp Fiction" won the Palme d'Or, Adrian is also confident that this version will not be worse than the original version, but whether he can win the Palme d'Or is not clear. One hundred percent sure.

As I said a long time ago, these film festivals are essentially splitting the cake, but Oscar still has a mainstream value as the standard. The sign was held high, so it was more chaotic than the rules of the Oscars, so whether they could get the cake would depend on whether the public relations were in place.

Because of this, when Adrian bought the film company, he chose the well-established Bosworth Films. Subsequent facts also proved that his choice was not wrong. Laverne and his agent Roger successfully got him an Oscar nomination for best director.

No matter how the cake is divided, the quality of the movie still takes a very high proportion. Adrian believes that there is no problem with "Pulp Fiction", so now it depends on whether Laverne can be like the two bosses of Miramax, Got the Palme d'Or for Pulp Fiction. Of course, it doesn't matter if you can't. Although the Palme d'Or has a high international honor, its influence in the United States is far less than that of the Oscars, so it's good to get it, and it doesn't matter if you don't get it.

"So, what about the publicity for Scent of a Woman?" Adrian asked another question.

"It's within the scope of control now, but I think we can take a break for now. With the release of "Pulp Fiction" in Cannes, it is bound to receive a lot of attention." Lavern said in retrospect.

"I'm afraid not," Adrian shook his head after thinking for a while, "You know, the first thing they grasped is that the fourth movie is different from the previous three movies, and now the fifth movie is still a cult movie , then it is necessary to compare it with the fourth film that has not revealed much information so far, so as to declare that the fourth film is a failure. If "Pulp Fiction" becomes popular, this situation may be more serious. In this case, think It's hard to deal with it coldly, so someone needs to guide it properly, just like we decided to use this to whet the appetite of the public, both to make them curious and to prevent them from losing confidence."
