King of Hollywood

Chapter 10 The First End of Location

"Wait, wait, buddy," the middle-aged man who interrupted Forrest Gump looked at him with interest, and then showed a funny expression, "You mean you are the owner of the famous Bob Gump Shrimp Company ?”

"Yes," A-Gump said seriously, "we made a lot of money."

The middle-aged man suddenly burst out laughing: "I've heard a lot of people bragging, but this is the most interesting one."

As he spoke, he stood up, and walked away laughing with a paper cup in his hand: "I'm actually sitting next to a millionaire."

Ryan, the assistant director of "nderfu1", yelled, followed by applauding, and then a large group of people also clapped.

"Really?" Adrian turned back and looked at Ryan suspiciously, went straight to the back of the monitor, frowned and looked carefully before nodding: "Great, it's finally over"

It's already the second day, and the previous shoot took a lot of work to finish the first shot, which is really annoying. Next, Adrian said nothing and continued to shoot. If the next shot is still like this, it may not be completed until the sun goes down. Just at this time, the lady holding the baby and the old woman who gave Forrest Gump the way at the end had already arrived on the set, so he immediately announced to shoot their scenes first.

Of course, this does not mean that Adrian will not play this role. Since he agreed, and he agreed to come in front of so many people, of course he should stick to it. It is not his style to break the contract because of poor performance.

Because the shooting of that shot took a little more time, the remaining ones are kept until now. Adrian spent the whole night thinking about it, and called Charlize to talk to him, and then went to bed early. Charlize was very surprised, she thought he was planning to half-force her to the bed again.

Even so, Adrian still ng more than a dozen times, but what comforted him was that it did not exceed yesterday's number.

"So, making a movie and making a TV series are two different things." Adrian, who was taking off his makeup, sighed.

Strictly speaking, this is not a question of two different things. The key point is that when he cameo in "Friends", he was acting in his true colors, and he had to show his usual appearance, but now this role is a bit frivolous and exaggerated, and needs more acting skills , and he is not a professional actor, so it is understandable for him to have problems.

If you are free, it is also very interesting to do guest appearances often. Adrian suddenly thought so. Many directors will make cameo appearances in their own works, the most famous of which is Hitchcock, who is called a live prop.

The old man often plays flashy characters in his movies, such as the passengers who failed to catch the bus, or the passers-by who read the newspaper next to the protagonist and only showed half of their face, etc. So, why can't Adrian leave his own figure in these famous movies?

"Ed, someone is looking for you." Charlize's voice came from behind.

Adrian was about to answer when he suddenly noticed the strangeness in her tone. How could he not know what this strangeness meant after being with each other for so long, so who came to find him?

The answer was soon revealed. Although he was standing far away and wearing wide sunglasses, his jet-black long hair clearly identified the visitor. [Ye*zi] [Yu*you] Even wearing a brown windbreaker, you can still see the good figure hidden underneath.

"Oh, Monica, I'm so happy to see you." Adrian walked forward with a smile on his face. Although he just hugged the girl gently, the staff around him turned their backs to them automatically.

Monica has visited the class once before, and Julia has also visited once, and many people in the team have cooperated with Adrian several times, so they are relatively clear about these things, so naturally will not participate in it.

"Why don't you call me in advance? Then I can pick you up at the airport." Adrian asked immediately.

"I don't want to hear your secretary's voice." Monica took off her sunglasses, not hiding her feelings at all. "Of course, more importantly, I want to surprise you."

"Surprise?" Adrian raised his eyebrows and looked Monica up and down, "If my vision is correct, this trench coat was worn when you visited New York last year, don't tell me, you Not wearing anything."

"If you want." A smile appeared on the corner of Monica's mouth, and she pulled her hands on her belt.

"No need now," Adrian smiled meaningfully, and then she held her hand and stroked it, "I'm working now, and it won't be long before it ends, so let's talk about it later."

The filming of the bench here is almost coming to an end. With the completion of the two scenes where he played a cameo, there are only two lines left by the old woman, which only takes a few minutes. In addition, the scene where A-Gump started running towards Jenny's house, and Jenny and A-Gump took the children in the park, enough time in one afternoon.

"Okay, let's call it a day, let's continue tomorrow." As the last scene in the park ended, Adrian announced loudly, which immediately attracted cheers.

"Charlie, remember to adjust the schedule later on. Of course, don't affect the progress of the filming." Adrian said to Charlize after explaining to the assistant director and several assistants.

"Understood." The girl answered very briefly, with a very calm face, as if she didn't know that Monica was coming.

Adrian, who saw it, smiled, raised his legs and walked outside without saying anything.

"Hey, Ed," Hanks' voice sounded again at this time, and then appeared in front of him with a rare malicious smile, "Richard just suggested going to the bar for a drink, and we want to come together ?"

"Go to the bar? Don't worry..." Adrian said with a half-smile while gesturing.

"With Jim by my side, why should I worry about anything." Hanks shrugged.

"The problem is that Jim is your brother, not your wife's brother." Adrian looked at him calmly.

"Okay, okay," Hanks raised his hand immediately, "They asked me to come, no matter what I do."

After finishing speaking, he walked away from him with a smile. Adrian looked at Hanks who was leaving, then at the group of guys packing up their things and pretending to be nonchalant, and shook his head towards Monica who was already waiting outside. go.

Although Montgomery is the second largest city in Alabama, and has also played many important roles in American history, such as the Civil War, the Civil Rights Movement, etc. - the conflict caused by the first admission of blacks to colleges eventually led to the intervention of the National Guard The incident happened in Alabama, and this incident was also mentioned in the movie "Forrest Gump".

But in terms of city characteristics, there is not much difference between Montgomery and ordinary large American cities, and Adrian is not familiar with this city, so after finding an Italian restaurant for dinner, Monica held hands I walked around the street.

"Probably on June 11, 1963, George Wallace, then governor of Alabama, blocked the University of Alabama in an attempt to prevent two black students from enrolling, and openly resisted the federal government's removal from office , and then Kennedy ordered the National Guard to intervene, and finally let him get out of office." Walking on the streets of Montgomery, Adrian said to the girl beside him, and as the sky darkened, the street lights had begun to gradually light up.

"Do you feel a little bored?" Adrian asked suddenly. From shopping to now, Monica didn't talk much, and basically listened to Adrian.

"No, I just want to hear what you have to say." Monica said with a smile.

"If that's the case, then why don't we change the subject? What we said before is because of the need for shooting, so we understand something." Adrian thought for a while, "How about how many cities in North America are called Montgomery? And what they have to do with Bernard Law Montgomery."

"Bernard Law Montgomery?" Monica frowned because of the memory, "He seems to be..."

"Marshal of the British Army after World War II." Seeing this, Adrian immediately reminded him.

"Yes, that's what I want to say." Monica, who was thinking hard, was relieved immediately, but then sighed softly: "Well, I admit, I don't know much about these."

"Then let me say something else." Adrian, who laughed, immediately put his arms around her waist and pulled her into his arms more intimately, "For example, how are you doing recently? I know a lot of advertisements Merchants are looking for you, especially Italian ones."

"Nothing, old fashioned, never-ending party, never-ending hitchhiker," Monica pouted her sexy lips, "if only you were around all the time."

Adrian smiled and didn't answer, just slid his hand around her waist back and forth. Monica gave him a charming look before continuing: "George doesn't recommend that I accept too many advertisements, he said Now I should be up for grabs, and in the future, I will take on as many independent film roles as possible, even if the salary is reduced."

"Really? What do you think, Monica?" Adrian asked, looking at the girl.

Monica didn't answer directly, but looked at Adrian with rolling eyes for a while, and then said with her red lips lightly: "I will do whatever you want me to do, Ed."

"Actually," Adrian reached out and squeezed Monica's chin, "I asked George to arrange this for you."

After a pause, he continued after Monica showed an expression of listening carefully, "Do you still remember what I told you about your innate shortcomings?"

"I'm lacking in acting skills, and she's Italian." Monica answered without thinking.

"Now you have basically stepped into the ranks of Hollywood's top stars, so you need to hone your acting skills better," Adrian nodded and continued, "You know, this place is also exclusive, so You have to put in more effort than others, Monica. But don't worry, I will prepare some good commercial movies for you to maintain your current reputation, so you can try something different in independent movies role, and live like this for a few years..."

He reached out and raised her chin, and slid his fingers across her rosy lips, saying with unquestionable momentum: "When I think you can, that's when you will win the Oscar for Best Actress."

Monica, who looked at Adrian, was a little astonished at first, and then the corners of her mouth turned up, with a little charm and temptation, she opened her mouth to enclose his finger, sucked it, and then used her tongue to swim around between the fingers.

"I see." She said this, and after looking around, she leaned into Adrian's ear again: "Maybe, we can do something more exciting now, such as the alley behind the restaurant just now. good……"

If you really want to do what you want to do, home is always the best place, which allows couples to release themselves unscrupulously. Of course, some people like to be outside, especially in the wilderness, to have a feeling of being one with nature. The corners of the city are the least recommended, because some places are not so clean, it takes a lot of effort to tidy up, and it is always possible to be seen by passers-by, and it will violate relevant laws.

But this is also what makes many people, especially young people, flock to it, the kind of stimulation that may be discovered, and the cheapest sense of freedom that violates the rules-unless it goes too far, the police will generally not because of This kind of thing will cause trouble for couples-it will make people's adrenaline surge, and it will be easier to achieve sexual desire, such as Monica now.

"Are you satisfied, baby?" Adrian panted slightly, looking at Monica who was entangled with him.

Monica, who was leaning against the wall, looked at the dim street lamp hanging above her head in a daze, her chest heaved continuously, and her legs were subconsciously wrapped around Adrian's waist, and it took a long while before she recovered.

"Oh...Ed...you are so amazing..." Monica murmured as she kissed Adrian, and after a moment of tenderness, she got off from Adrian and picked up her clothes.

In fact, the two didn't do it for too long, it was only more than ten minutes. This is not a hotel or a bedroom. Besides, they were just on a whim, and they didn't do enough foreplay. But during the period, three groups of people passed by outside the alley, which gave them a good boost.

Fortunately, there were no reporters near the crew during this time, and no one knew about Monica's visit to Alabama, otherwise it would be terrible if they caught her. Of course, if it was really possible that there were reporters nearby, Monica would not seduce Adrian so boldly. She is not smart but she is not a fool.

"Okay, where shall we go shopping next? You have the final say." Adrian said after tidying up.

"No, let's go back to the hotel." Monica took his arm and smiled charmingly and seductively. ..."

Although he didn't say anything later, Adrian was very clear about the meaning. After raising his eyebrows, he leaned over and kissed her again: "Then let's go back to the hotel."

"Ed," Monica suddenly stopped him again, a trace of hesitation flashed in her eyes, but after looking at him for a while, she quickly whispered out: "If you want..."

The last few words were close to his ear and said in the lowest voice. Adrian was a little surprised at first, and then became excited, but returned to calm after Monica finished speaking.

"Since you've decided, let's do it." He said, stroking Monica's face.

It took about five or six days to shoot in Montgomery, and the few scenes here were completed. However, the time when the crew left Montgomery was May 8, and it was already May 12 when they returned to Los Angeles. The reason for this is that the crew drove back to Los Angeles instead of taking a plane, because there was also a shot of Forrest Gump running on the way, and the scenery all over the United States, such as canyons, forests, deserts, etc., had to be shot in real scenes.

Although CG can also be done, the real scene is even more breathtaking, so since conditions are available, why can't we shoot the real scene? In fact, the four-day itinerary is indeed very comfortable. Driving along the interstate highway, it can be regarded as an overview of the American landscape, especially when driving in the wilderness, the sky is high and the land is wide. It feels so contagious, and it's no wonder why so many people love driving across North America.

Hanks also said that this is the best experience he has ever had in making a movie - several times he was so absorbed in running that he completely forgot the time and just kept running forward. Fortunately, his brother Jim is always by his side.

After returning to Los Angeles, Adrian continued to devote himself to work. Although with his ability, as long as everything goes well, it doesn’t take as much time to complete the shooting, but it doesn’t mean it can be wasted. Before the filming in Montgomery ended, he had sent several people back to Los Angeles to set up the studio. Most of the shots in Los Angeles were shot indoors, such as in bars, hotels, military camps, the White House, and...well... The table tennis venue where the United States established diplomatic relations.

Regarding these scenes, Adrian originally wanted to go to China for on-site shooting, and also planned to modify the script and add a section that asked Forrest Gump to go shopping in Beijing, but he gave up after thinking for a long time. Not to mention the difficulty of applying for filming, with some people's bureaucratic style, God knows when it will be approved. More importantly, if the filming goes against some people's understanding, even if it can be released in mainland China, it may not escape the fate of scissors. If it is disrespectful to say that Lao Mao's head is printed on the racket, then the interview with Forrest Gump and John Lennon is also cut, which is too narrow-minded.

With Michelangelo Antonioni's "China" filmed in the 1990s, Adrian still gave up this plan. Of course, the old Mao on the racket and John Lennon’s sarcasm are still preserved. Since he no longer plans to go to mainland China, even if he encounters difficulties when going to China because of this movie in the future, he can still say "it was not at that time. Understand" as an excuse to excuse yourself.
