King of Hollywood

Chapter 121 Don't care about them

"Quoting informed sources, after the legendary director Stanley Kubrick fell ill after a stroke, the new film adaptation of Schnitzler's novel "Dream Stories" that had been suspended has been restarted, and the new film with Adrian Cowell, known as the miracle director. This is really surprising news. Everyone knows that Kubrick is a very special director with amazing talent and violent temper. There are not many works but every time. All of them are endlessly thought-provoking and the themes involve various aspects. There are sci-fi movies like "Space Odyssey 1", horror movies like "The Shining", and movies that promote violence like "Strip Orange". The film has been banned in the UK so far. Although he asked for it, the film did lead to some bad violence in the UK at the time.

Kubrick's ability to fully demonstrate his talents has something to do with his ability to make movies as he pleases. He always has a lot of power on the set, whether it is Jack Nicholson or (?) He has been reprimanded by him. It is said that "Fantasy Stories" was bought by him as early as years ago. Because of the film review and other issues, there is no chance to be put on the screen until now. However, Kubrick unfortunately fell ill and is likely to never get up again. According to his strong and authoritarian personality, even if the film is put on the shelf, he will not let others take over, but now it is given to a young director, which has to make people think about it.

Adrian Cowell is also a talented director who covers a variety of themes. He is now the youngest Oscar-winning director after he took the helm in 2011. This achievement is not so easy to obtain . Of course, although his works are good, there is still a big distance from Kubrick's, but there are too many in terms of vision and film companies. Adrian has indeed taken over the film now. Although Warner is the investor, it is unlikely to persuade Kubrick on this. Then there is only one possibility. Kubrick recognized Kewell's strength.

This conclusion will surely surprise many people, but Holmes once said that the truth is the least likely after all possibilities are ruled out. No one knows how Kubrick came to such a decision, just like this matter is not known until now. This reporter tried to interview Mr. Cowell on the set, although he said he had no comment but look at it. Look confident. Indeed, after all, Mr. Cowell has the title of miracle director, and he has indeed created many miracles. Perhaps he thinks it is not difficult to take over the work of a legendary director.

So what will happen? You must know that "Fantasy Stories" is a famous erotic novel with jaw-dropping descriptions, and it seems that this is the first time Mr. Kewell has been involved in this subject matter. But I believe he will definitely go all out, after all, it is a contest between two outstanding directors, so let us wait and see. "

—Jeff Harris, Los Angeles Times

Like a lot of news, the "insiders" and speculation throughout the article quickly aroused the interest of those reporters who had previously paid attention to Kubrick's stroke and admission to the hospital. They had already vaguely known about these things from various channels. , but after all, it is not as geographically advantageous as the Los Angeles Times. Now that others have made it to the front, follow-up reports cannot be like this, so Warner, Adrian, the United Kingdom, and Cruise—there has been definite news that their husbands and wives fù will star in Kubrick's new work - there are many more reporters.

Because there was an agreement before, the Quartet always used the excuse that they had no comment. In this way, it was tantamount to confirming this matter. If this matter is neither affirmed nor denied, then it is most likely affirmed. In addition, what Warner has done is particularly obvious, so various versions have also been released. Some said that Kubrick made this decision after reading Adrian's work, and some said that Warner took the initiative to find Adrian and wanted him to take over, but Adrian did not take the initiative to ask, but the most lively discussion was still Can the miracle director replace the legendary director to produce this work.

Soon, many critics were also involved. Famous film critics said that if the situation is true, this is simply a farce. Although the two directors are very talented and involve a lot of subjects, Kubrick has With his own unique style and ideas, while Adrian's works are closer to commercialization, coupled with the age gap, it is almost impossible for Adrian to understand Kubrick's thoughts.

"Maybe Adrian thinks he can understand Stanley's thoughts, but some things seem insignificant, but in fact there is an insurmountable gap." He wrote in the column.

But some people think that it is too early to draw conclusions. In any case, it is certain that Kubrick agreed to let Adrian take over. With Kubrick's temper, without his permission, others would not Wanting to get his hands on his things shows that Adrian must have something for him to recognize. Since the director of miracles has created many miracles, it is not impossible to create them again.

However, Kubrick's movies are the ones who oppose the most. Although his movies are niche, there are many supporters. Shadow mí is a very fanatical existence, and these people almost unanimously stated that it was an absolutely wrong decision to let Adrian take over.

"He will ruin this movie. Kubrick should let this movie rot in the warehouse, and someone else should take it over." In some media questionnaires, there was such an answer.

However, no matter how the media, critics, and filmmakers argued, Adrian didn't care about it, and continued to shoot step by step while avoiding the entanglement of reporters.

"Don't bother with them, the quality of the movie will be known when it is released. And the current situation, Warner and the others are actually very happy to see it." Adrian walked in the amusement park and said this to the tall girl beside him. talk.

The brown sè is straight, wearing wide black-rimmed glasses, plus the beauty mole artificially placed on the corner of the mouth, if you don't look carefully, you will definitely not recognize this as Julia Roberts.

"It seems that you are very confident in yourself." Julia hummed and teased.

"Of course, if I don't have confidence, I won't take the initiative to ask to take over." Adrian shrugged with a smile. He also put on makeup carefully, so although there are people coming and going in the amusement park, he is always not worried. Talking and laughing with Julia.

"Ed Ed, let's go over there and see if it's okay." The two calves riding on Adrian's shoulders suddenly moved, and the two little hands also scratched at his head.

"Emma, ​​how many times have I told you that this is very impolite." Julia looked up at her niece and frowned, but the little guy turned his mouth in disapproval: "But Ed said, I can do this .”

"Okay, let's go and have a look." Adrian laughed and smoothed things over, and supported Emma Roberts who was riding on his shoulders. "But if you want to ride a roller coaster, you should cancel it early. This idea."

"Then... can we take a spaceship?"

"That doesn't work either, it's still a carousel."

"Every time I take this ride, I don't want it. I want to take a spaceship, or I will cry loudly and bring the police over and let him arrest you"

"I have to tell you with regret, Emma, ​​if the police take her away, you won't be able to play anything today."

Compared with the other Emma, ​​although this Emma is one year younger, she is more lively and chaotic. She often causes troubles at home, and even Julia has some headaches. Only Adrian's words are completely obeyed, although she will always get mixed up like this. A few words.

"It's a good thing that children like to make trouble, it means that they don't have so many things in their hearts," said Adrian, leaning on the railing outside the game area, watching Emma running around in the sea of ​​plastic balls, "Just Like Emma, ​​she was so traumatized that if she hadn't cried out in time, those scars could be with her for the rest of her life."

This Emma said that it was naturally the one from England, and Julia listened silently without saying anything.

"In short, it is very simple to make her obedient. If she is very noisy, then you will be more noisy than her. If she can't bear it, she will naturally have to listen to you. When you get along with children, you must have the child's heart ’” Adrian continued.

"Then should I say, Lily—it should be the name—is lucky to have you as a father?" Julia said suddenly, with teasing and a little sarcasm.

"If you want to know, you can give birth to one." Adrian said casually.

Julia immediately showed a choked expression, and then a blush flashed across her face, and she glared at Adrian fiercely.

"Your expression is really cute, can I ěněn your face?" Adrian continued to tease.

Fortunately, Emma put on her shoes and ran out: "Ed, did you see that just now? From here to there, I left everyone else far away."

Then, she noticed something and looked at Adrian and then at her aunt. Although she was not as smart as the other Emma, ​​her intuition was still very sensitive.

"Did you quarrel?" She asked, tilting her head.

"Of course not, I was just discussing with Julie, whether it would be better to add a younger brother or younger sister to you." Adrian raised his eyebrows.

"Brother or sister?" The little guy's eyes lit up immediately, and he immediately started spinning around his aunt, "How to increase? Did it come out of the aunt's stomach like the book said? But what to do before that?" How about getting in?"

"Okay, Emma, ​​he was just joking with you." Julia gave Adrian a hard look again, bent down and coaxed Emma repeatedly.

"How can this be so?" The little guy put his hands on his waist, pouted his mouth with displeasure on his face, "how can you deceive children? Don't you know that deceiving children will be captured by fairies?"

"Well, in order to prevent us from being taken away by the fairy, how about we go over there to watch the show?" Adrian smiled and hugged Emma.

A child is a child, his attention shifts faster than anyone else, and he immediately clapped his hands and shouted: "If we want to go, let's go now."

Seeing one big and one small walking towards the performance hall, Julia sighed and followed. She looked at Adrian with a complicated expression. To be honest, she really had a certain idea at the beginning, but after hearing that Kate was pregnant and gave birth to a child, she understood it. Derian will definitely not agree.

Self-interested, caring only for himself, he is just playing. Julia has commented with resentment in her heart more than once. But what to do afterwards is still what to do, even being pulled by him to play a threesome with Monica has not resisted.

Why would I be so willing to let him play ng? She also asked herself. But these are just chatting for herself, she herself knows the reason, but she just doesn't want to admit it clearly.

Whether resting or working, it has always been smooth, but because of the attention of the media now, Adrian slightly adjusted the progress of the shooting. After some fragmentary shots were completed, he jumped directly to the party behind, That is to say, those scenes that are so fragrant that the media said.

"Simply put, before I call the start, you have to maintain the current posture like a sculpture, as if you are looking at a still life painting, as if you are a still life painting, understand? After the start, only the two people above need to move , others continue to look like still life paintings." Adrian said to this group of masked men and women, the men are all well-dressed, and the women are all wearing scarves, so it goes without saying that he knows what it looks like inside.

Then he called one of the masked men to the side of the mén: "Tommy, you walk in from here, and then walk over there as before, there will be a close-up at that time, you have to express your emotions with your eyes .”

After explaining this, he immediately waved his hand to indicate that he was ready to start filming. He gave death orders for these filmings, and anyone who dared to disclose to the media would be held accountable. Although it was a closed shooting from the beginning, the media has not found out anything so far, but just in case, it is emphasized and emphasized.

Fortunately, the filming of these contents was completed quickly, and Adrian did not expect that this party would become the best part of the whole film. The reason is simple. In this scene, in most of the shots, men and women wear masks, so naturally they cannot see their expressions. In addition, the religious solemnity displayed by the party itself does not need to be too exaggerated. Body language, Cruise alone saves a lot of time without using facial expressions, not to mention there are so many extras, so the filming of this scene was unexpectedly smooth.

Well, it seems a bit too harsh to say this, Cruise has some acting skills, at least in the part where he took off his mask and confronted the mysterious host at the end, he didn't delay too much progress.

In addition, there is another trouble, because the film cannot be exposed during the screening, so many scenes between men and women must be carefully shot. In short, at the end of May, after the part of the party scene that connected Dr. William and the boss's sī argument was completed, Adrian immediately took the crew to New York for location shooting.

The reporters who tirelessly searched for the news of the movie suddenly rushed to New York like sharks that smelled fishy. The only thing they got for more than a month was to find out the name of the movie "Eyes Wide Shut". I don't know anything, and the "Fantasy Stories" novel in my hand is almost ruined. If I continue like this, I don't know what story to make up, so naturally I won't give up this opportunity.

Now it's Adrian's turn to have a headache. Shooting in the urban area of ​​New York, where there are so many people talking, it is really difficult to completely eliminate the u-shooting of reporters. When filming "This Killer Is Not So Cold", firstly, because the fame was not as loud as it is now, and secondly, the film produced did not receive much attention, so it was not disturbed by reporters.

But it’s different now. For more than a month, the news about the miracle director taking over the legendary director’s new work has not attracted much attention, but it has always been a topic. So far, almost everyone is not optimistic about Adrian, because Kubrick’s The style is too strong, and it is not something you can simulate if you want to, it is more likely to become completely different.

"It's a pity that Kubrick didn't want to leave regrets, but now he is destined to stay." Someone sighed.

In their view, Kubrick would agree to let Adrian take over, because he didn't want the film he had spent so much time and energy to prepare to run aground, and the desire to complete it made him lose his own sanity. After all, in the eyes of many people—especially guys with special tastes—Kubrick can be regarded as a master of film. No matter how powerful Adrian can perform miracles, it is impossible to copy the style of the master.

Of course, some things are never guessed.

Alright, let’s get back to the filming in New York. Although the reporters are always going around and finally leaked a few photos, these have nothing to do with the main story line. People have associations or something, so Adrian didn't take it too seriously, as long as the self-proclaimed staff did their best, it didn't matter even if some of the set photos were leaked, so his headache was actually another thing.

"Cut" Adrian called to stop, and several young actors who played unscrupulous youths on the set stopped immediately, and then helped Cruise up who hit the car, and asked for warmth. Cruise said a few words to them with a smile, and then opened his hands to Adrian inquiringly.

"It's nothing, my question, rest for five minutes, let me think about it, and then finish this last shot." Adrian replied with a loud voice.

The crew immediately relaxed, while Adrian sat in his seat and began to think. It looks like he's having a hard time with that last shot, but he's actually thinking about something else.

Well, it's not difficult to get rid of those reporters, but someone needs to cooperate, and the time is a little tight, tomorrow is the show... Adrian's fingers tapped back and forth on the armrest of the chair. Looking around, Cruise just passed by in front of him, Adrian raised his brows but immediately frowned again, but smoothed them out after two or three seconds, as if doing magic.

It doesn't matter, as long as you are careful, you should be fine.
