King of Hollywood

Crashing waves hit the coast one after another, splashing flowers. Under the clear sky, the Mediterranean town that retains the architecture of the 1920s and 1930s looks peaceful and peaceful. Drinking afternoon tea leisurely under the parasols in the small plaza, the women walked together in twos and threes to tell gossip that they only knew, and the children came to play football on the long seawall.

"It's still so beautiful, isn't it, dear?" Standing on the seawall, Adrian said to Monica next to him, looking at the line of sea and sky in the distance while setting up a pergola.

"Yeah, it's no different from a few years ago. This is indeed a good place to live a leisurely life." Monica said in agreement, holding his arm. She was still wearing the long white dress used for shooting, and the baggy black With a tie around the neck and high heels with rings, the seductive and mature temperament can be seen at a glance.

The sea water in Syracuse is very turbid, far less blue than that of Xana and other tourist attractions, but the small town on the island is very peaceful and peaceful, which is not interesting. When Monica and Adrian came here together, she didn't expect to come here in another way in the future, as long as she thought of Adrian's planning for this for several years, she felt warm her heart.

"Mr. Director, I'm ready." The director came over at this moment.

"Okay, I'll be right over." Adrian nodded, and waited for the other party to leave before he slapped Monica's buttocks again: "Go, baby, show your most seductive side Show it."

Monica gave him a blank look, and then walked to the trailer pulled to the island, while Adrian walked to the set and started the routine questioning before shooting. Today’s filming is about the first time the leading actor Renardo met Marlena. On the edge of the long seawall, he and a group of young people about his own age watched her walk quietly by following behind and yelling. .

"You have been doing very well, young man, and you will continue to work hard today, understand?" Adrian patted Marino on the shoulder.

"Yes, sir." The young man nodded, he has come out of that little blow, especially after coming to Italy, Adrian and Monica made out in front of everyone a lot more times After that, he already understood.

"Very good, but don't be too depressed, young man, there are only 0 girls suitable for you." He laughed, and Marino immediately blushed and lowered his head.

No longer molesting this honest child, Adrian clapped his hands and loudly announced the start of filming. These scenes are easy to pass, the people in the small town are very enthusiastic about the crew, and Adrian has asked people to prepare for it early, and the communication with the local government is also good, especially I heard that it is a famous miracle director in Hollywood. After taking the mirror, part of the cost was also reduced for the crew.

Although the small town on the island is relatively closed, after popularizing the Internet, he still knows a lot about the outside world. The local government is very clear that as long as Adrian has made a movie here, as long as this movie has caused If there is a sensation, then they can get a lot of income from tourism.

This also made Adrian heave a sigh of relief. He spent so much time looking for people and communicating with him. You must know that most of the film is shot on location, so even though the interior shots have been completed in Los Angeles, he felt that It takes a long time to stay in this place, so it is important to get along well with the local residents. Fortunately, as I said before, most of them are very good.

"They are all very simple people. They are definitely not those guys written in your script. If Malena lives here, she will definitely be respected." After shooting a certain scene in the square, a man with The middle-aged man with glasses touched his bald forehead and looked at the extras who were sitting in twos and threes talking together, who were also local residents, and said with emotion.

"Of course I know, this is a place full of vitality, there is no more suitable place to shoot than this." Adrian shrugged.

"Yes, I also know, I have to say, Ed, who has more vision than most Italians, unexpectedly found such a place." The other party sighed again, "No wonder they always say, your vision is infinite. Humans can."

"As long as you come to Sicily and run a few times, anyone can find it, Giuseppe." Adrian chuckled.

"Then you have to be able to see which scenes are suitable." Gyssebe admired Natore's eyes all the time on the square, and then he sighed: "Why didn't you give me the script earlier."

"Oh? Are you interested in it?"

"More than that, you don't know how much I... like it after watching it. If I hadn't heard that you have already started preparations, I would definitely have been pestering you and asked me to direct this movie 0"

Tonadore spoke very seriously, and kept rubbing his chin with one hand. Obviously, this was his psychological words. Adrian was silent for a few seconds, then got up and patted him on the shoulder: "Remember what I said, Gisebey? Half of this movie is inspired by your "Paradise Cinema", that one I really like movies about growing up, so this is also a movie about growing up, and the story is set in Italy."

"Xiexie." Tonadore finally retracted his gaze, "I'm glad you like that movie, and I'm glad that movie can inspire you.

Having said that, he changed the topic and showed a little interesting look: "Then what about the other half of the inspiration?"

Adrian shrugged and did not answer, Tonadore suddenly laughed, and looked at Monica who was talking to his assistant in the distance: "What a beautiful woman." Su

"Yes, very beautiful." Adrian also looked at Monica and said very calmly.

Tonadore quickly left the "Beautiful Legend of Sicily" crew, stayed for only three days, promised Adrian to attend the premiere of the film, and invited him to participate in the premiere of his film released in the previous month. projection. It was a complete accident that he came to Syracuse. When Adrian contacted him through others and asked him to help find a suitable Italian actor, his main purpose was to test whether he had started to conceive a new script.

As a result, Needless to say, Adrian was completely relieved, but after all, this movie "was" Tornatore's work, and he couldn't put it down after seeing the script. As he said, if Adrian hadn't started preparations Yes, he may really find a way to get the directing right, so it is reasonable to rush over to take a look after hearing that Liu Zuo is coming to Syracuse.

To be honest, Adrian still has a good feeling for Tornadore. Most European directors seem to stay away from art if they don't add sexual elements or some weird things that no one can understand in their works. Italian directors are especially serious. What makes people want to roll their eyes is that they are not unable to tell a good story, but deliberately do so, as if suffering from obsessive-compulsive disorder, such as the old guy Bertolucci.

Although Tonadore is indispensable, at least the two most well-known works, "Paradise Cinema" and "The Pianist on the Sea", have good stories. If it is not suitable for Monica at this stage, only "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily", Adrian may not want to plagiarize

As for whether he will feel ashamed in the face of the original author's admiring gaze, there is a little bit, but he will soon forget it and continue to do his own business, just like an arms dealer said after learning that the weapons he sold caused a lot of casualties. God bless" and continued selling.

Because of the black matching of the locals, the progress has been very smooth. Of course, the most important and troublesome scenes with Adrian - such as Marlena being humiliated, such as being bombed by the Allied forces and people running around... …is not unrelated to staying behind. Then, at this time, another guest came to the set 0

"Hello, Monica, I'm Sophie, Sophie Marceau." Wearing a thin windbreaker, with two small boots exposed, Sophie, with her hair hanging down in a mess and with a reserved smile, said to Monica held out her hand.

"Hello, Sophie is so glad to see you..." Monica seemed very enthusiastic, "I like your movies very much, whether it is "First Kiss" or "Fang Fang", and I will even try to be an actor , there are also factors from "Fang Fang"."

Seeing that Monica said this to her so openly, Sophie couldn't keep up her reserved manner of rejecting others, and soon chatted with Monica. Because they are both Europeans, one is from France and the other is from Italy, and they have many common topics, and Monica deliberately flatters them, the two women become more and more acquainted, until Adrian came over.

"Monica, get ready." He interrupted them, leaving both women stunned.

"Okay, I'll go right away." Monica was the first to react, smiled at Sophie, and then hurried to the set.

"You seem to have a good chat." After Monica left, Adrian looked at Sophie with a smile.

"Then what do you want to see? Arguing? Or fighting?" Sophie snorted softly, crossed her arms, and looked completely different from the smiling face before.

"You know, I'm glad you can come to Syracuse, Sophie, especially..., Adrian stopped halfway through speaking, and then blinked narrowly.

If I had known this, I would not have come. Su Jian really wanted to refute like this, but after seeing the other party's smile, the words that came to his lips retracted for some reason.

"Okay, let's not talk about this for the time being. There are still several shots to be completed today. Let's find a place to chat after the end." Adrian glanced at the crew and said with a smile, and then handed over the script of the movie In front of her: "This is the story of this movie, why not analyze this movie from your perspective."

After finishing speaking, he was about to leave, but after walking two steps, he turned back and pressed it to Sophie's ear with a malicious look: "Although the high heels become boots, as long as there is nothing inside, I will Will always like your outfit."

"Ed!" Sophie couldn't help but glared at Adrian, who laughed and quickly returned to the crew.

Damn guy! Sophie gritted her teeth and touched her face. She had a fever and must have turned red. Of course she knew what Adrian was talking about. When she was messing around in Paris that day, she was wearing the current windbreaker with nothing in it. As long as she thought which corner or box was suitable, the two of them would go there and start talking. emperor.

At the time, it was just exciting, but every time I thought about it later, I would feel a little ashamed and afraid, even though she wanted to take such a gamble. Adrian often teased her with this. It just so happened that she was wearing the same windbreaker today, so she couldn't escape. As before, Sophie could only express her dissatisfaction by staring at him, but the dissatisfaction that had arisen after seeing Monica and Adrian disappeared completely.

"Scene 9, scene 1, start!" With the sound of the slate, the camera turned for a few seconds, and Monica walked into the shot.

The scene here is very simple. The news of her husband's death in battle is confirmed, and most people in the town reject her. The helpless Marlena has no choice but to embark on the road of selling prostitutes. When she is dressed in sexy clothes and holds her head high When I came to the small square in the town, I just took out a cigarette after sitting on a chair, and instantly

Several lighters were handed over.

"C spit!" Adrian yelled loudly, and then came to Monica's side in a few steps, "It's not enough, Monica, remember what I said? She uses arrogance to cover up her fragility, you must grasp it this limit."

In the whole story, before this turning point, every time Malena came to the town, she lowered her head with a cautious look, avoiding the aggressive eyes of men and the disgusting eyes of women. But this time, when she didn't need to care about those anymore, she raised her head for the first time, and came to the square with a little bit of smoke and glamour. Adrian needs Monica to show the sadness hidden in Marilyn's heart here, so she must be proud and let people see that this arrogance is pretending, so that people can see the fragility in it. For Monica This is not easy to do.

"Come again." After Monica said she knew and returned to her original position, Adrian clapped her hands and said loudly.

This came again and again dozens of times, and there were four breaks in the middle. Although most people were a little tired, no one said much about it. Sophie was slightly surprised by the side. During this period of time, she had already read through the script quickly, and basically understood the outline of the story and the importance of this part of the scene. To be honest, she likes this role very much. If it was any other time, she would have won it anyway. But now it seems that Adrian obviously made this movie specially for Monica, which makes Sophie jealous psychology.

At the same time, Monica's performance in this filming couldn't have been better even if she had changed herself, but Adrian was still dissatisfied with the repeated exposure. I only found out after asking an assistant during the break. It has been a long time since Adrian always tried to make Monica perform perfectly when there was an important scene, which made Sophie jealous. It also became bigger.

Finally, before the best shooting opportunity passed, Adrian finally passed this shot, causing the crew to cheer in a low voice, and then continued to shoot the rest of the scene, finally did not delay today's progress .

As night fell, a bonfire was lit on the beach, and the crew held a party here. Many residents of the town joined in, especially those who had served as extras. Everyone sang and danced around the fire, very happy . It doesn't matter if you don't like bonfires, the crew specially prepared another place not far away, decorated with various colored lights, and there are a lot of food and drinks, enough to be squandered.

Adrian never saves on living materials, even if it is a movie like "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily" or "Mulholland Drive" that doesn't make a lot of money, he is a person who likes to enjoy. Anyway, because of his control, a lot of waste in shooting is gone, and the cost is a little lower than the original version, so it doesn't matter to use it in life.

"When you have a beautiful thing that attracts countless people's eyes, but you can't protect it at the same time, people around you will continue to want to snatch it from you and take it for themselves. The tragedy of Malena Right here, she is very beautiful, with the beauty of the city and the country, men want to possess her, but women are all jealous of her, but she can't protect herself, so men keep thinking of ways to violate her, while women deepen their love for her step by step. Her hatred, when this hatred reaches a critical point and is broken through by external forces, women will start to vent, and satisfy themselves by destroying the beautiful or ugly things.” In and with the two This place is not far from the seaside, Adrian is sitting at a small round table explaining the story of the script with the two women beside him.

No one bothered Tammon, even though everyone was surprised, envious or praised in their hearts, to have Sophie, Marceau, Monica, and Bellucci sitting next to each other is really a playboy.

"I believe that the scene in the square will definitely be shocking, but why not design it as a tragic ending?" Sophie asked, turning the cup in her hand, and glanced at Monica at the same time, "Tragedies can give The stronger emotional impact on people can also make a deeper impression on people, and the famous plays and operas that have been handed down are mostly tragedies.”

"Ed naturally has his own considerations, and he is always right." Monica smiled slightly. Deliberately pleasing does not mean infinite concessions.

Adrian, who saw it in his eyes, couldn't help but chuckled: "I don't like to tear up beautiful things for the audience to see, that's too stupid, there are enough tragedies in this world, I prefer to give them hope, even if It's a tiny bit of hope, and it's better than telling the audience "they're useless and they're going to die..."

After a moment of silence, Sophie sipped a little nervously. drink in the cup, and then looked at Adrian: "Speaking of your analysis, are you the same, Ed?"

Adrian raised his eyebrows in confusion, but he reacted immediately, shook his head with a smile, and then looked at Sophie without blinking. Monica also quickly understood, and then she lowered her head and snickered. Although Sophie was at a loss for a few seconds, she quickly came to her senses and immediately lowered her face in embarrassment with a blushing face.

As a man, Adrian is like this, so as a woman... Sophie, who was a little annoyed and ashamed, refused to raise her head for a while, but fortunately Adrian changed the subject at this time: "By the way, I have an idea, Sophie , an interesting idea, what would happen if you came to be the director and then starred in a movie with Monica?"
