King of Hollywood

\u003e .Chapter 90 "Tomb Raider"

This is an absolute mistake. Every country has its political correctness. Once it is touched, it will cause great trouble. shu. In Hollywood, one of the political correctness is that black government officials should not be villains. Adrian also said before that the black presidents in all movies so far are decent people. Even independent movies can be made casually, but the impact If it is too big, it will be criticized, let alone a commercial blockbuster that wants to make money and earn word of mouth.

Of course, there are no administrative measures to deal with those politically incorrect people or things in the United States. They have more sophisticated methods, such as the original version of the hapless "Life and Death Sniper", which was strongly criticized by most film critics after it was released. , said it was a leftist movie and alluded to Vice President Cheney, and the timing of the release was wrong, which affected the box office results.

In all fairness, although the plot of the movie has some flaws, the logic is basically complete and the action scenes are quite good, otherwise the dvd would not be so popular. However, both the North American box office and overseas box office are only more than 40 million. It is conceivable that if the producer knew The result will be like this, and this kind of plot will never be allowed to happen.

This is what Adrian is doing now, and he doesn't care about Stephen? How famous is Hunter, and how popular this novel was when it was released. Since the right to adapt it is in his hands, he can modify it as he wants. The original author is not happy? Fuck off then, like Winston? Adrian didn't want to make a money-losing film like Glum.

The biggest change is undoubtedly the agent who helped the actor get rid of his grievances. In the original version, he was a Mexican agent, but Adrian changed him into a black agent, and hired the British actor who has not yet become famous. watt? Ejiofor played the role, and naturally, the original black villain became white.

Then, some minor adjustments were made in the following plots. One of the important reasons why the black agent helped the actor was that he promised him to let the government solve the matter after investigating the truth, but after the actor sent his girlfriend or him The ex-girlfriend of a comrade-in-arms -- one of the US military traditions in the film -- is rescued, but burns the tape testimony from another sniper.

"You promised me!" the black agent shouted angrily at him.

"I just want to protect us." The actor said calmly.

"You said that you have a way to prove your innocence, why can't you do that?!" the black agent asked.

"Do you know how many people are involved? If we hand it over, we won't even have a chance to go to court!" the actor continued, "If you are really willing to try, I have an idea."

Afterwards, the black agent came back to help the hero prove his innocence. The firing pin of the sniper rifle he used was reversed for maintenance, so he couldn't shoot bullets at all. Naturally, it was impossible to assassinate the president. However, although the testimonial against the male protagonist was withdrawn, the Supreme Court judge was very helpless in the face of the evidence found by the black agents that the senator killed a village in Africa for oil, and this did not happen In the United States, he has no right to interfere. As for that African country, it is useless to file a lawsuit. Immediately after the white colonel was summoned, countless people with backgrounds called the prosecutor, hoping that he would show his favor.

Therefore, the final result is that after the black agent's last effort failed, the actor cleanly killed the villain, and then took his comrade's ex-girlfriend away from home. shu.

Without political incorrectness, the action scenes are enjoyable and the plot is more complete. In addition, during the summer vacation of 2001, the market for government conspiracy theories is still huge, so it is naturally very popular, so it was shown in 2,800 theaters in North America in the first week of release. Among them, it got almost 32 million box office, almost catching up with all the North American box office of the original version.

In addition, the easter eggs after the subtitles at the end also attracted the attention of many people.

The male protagonist was drinking in the bar, looking a little depressed, then a big hand stretched out and pushed the big glass of beer in front of him: "We lack a sniper, they say you are the best, are you interested?" ?”

Looking up, Stallone's half-paralyzed face immediately appeared in front of the actor's eyes. There is no doubt that when "The Expendables 2" is released, the audience will find the actor Bob in Stallone's team? plum? Swagger or Dennis? Knight's face, as for Stephen? Hunter's novel... who cares, "Sniper" is already a complete action movie.

Having said that, Adrian is a bit regretful. He should have agreed to Dennis to let Aniston play the female lawyer in "I Am Sam". Because in "Life and Death Sniper", it was Winona who played the ex-girlfriend of the hero's comrade-in-arms? Ryder, no doubt, was handpicked by Adrian for the role, as in Fight Club.

Then, in "The Expendables 2", which has already started filming, Stallone's team has added a female liaison officer, and will go through life and death with Dennis. This role is played by Jordana. More importantly, the movie has been filming for a long time, and the plot is not complicated. The main thing is the various action scenes and the grasp of the rhythm. If it goes well, it may be released at the end of the year.

Therefore, if Aniston plays the female lawyer in "I Am Sam", then Dennis will play against these three women who are constantly involved with him in the three films released this year. Considering his current family situation, Especially the relationship between Winona and Aniston, oh, how interesting that is.

It's a pity that Adrian didn't agree at the beginning, but gave the role to Naomi. When he wanted to modify it later, Aniston became pregnant again, so...it's a pity.

Well, this is a digression. After "Life and Death Sniper" opened the curtain of the summer vacation, what followed was - "Tomb Raider"!

"Before the shoot I spent months studying archeology, practicing rock climbing, doing a lot of physical training, practicing all kinds of amazing moves, and for me, it was a scary and exciting experience. , I think Laura feels the same way every time she takes an adventure.” In front of countless microphones and flashing lights, a smiling Kate spoke eloquently.

This is Trafalgar Square in London. Although the investor and producer are both American, the game developer's studio is British, Laura? Crawford is a British aristocrat. As a virtual character, he has appeared on countless covers. He can almost be regarded as a British national idol. Therefore, the movie is also released in the UK and the US at the same time. It is very suitable for the premiere to be held in London.

"Practice all kinds of amazing moves? Why didn't I see it?" Adrian asked with a smile after Kate walked into the theater and waited for a long time.

"Of course you didn't see it, you just experienced it yourself. Shu." Kate rolled her eyes at him directly. Every time she returned to England, she would become more sharp-tongued, very much like when she first met.

"That's true, it's really amazing." Adrian touched his chin pretentiously, and then said in a very serious tone, before waiting for Kate to speak, he reached out and took her arm, "Let's go in, honey, God knows Lily is getting impatient."

After a pause, he said again: "Frankly speaking, Kate, this outfit matches you very well, but this hairstyle is really bad."

Today Kate wore a white evening dress with slanted shoulders and large lace, which set off her temperament just right, but her hairstyle was left behind to match Laura's image, although two pairs of crystal earrings added to her beauty Less, but the feeling to people or Adrian's feeling is still a bit worse after all. What he likes most is her appearance with big waves.

"You should tell the crew about this." Kate shrugged.

"Okay, next time." Adrian laughed and led her into the screening room.

Far away, the little guy jumping on the seat stretched out his arms to his parents, but unfortunately for some reason she couldn't make a sound. Although the little guy is usually mischievous and likes to go against his parents, but in this kind of She is still very obedient under the occasion, Adrian sighed more than once, it is not a good thing that her daughter is too smart, she is still young now, some things can be fooled, if two years later...

"Mom, it's so big here. It's bigger than the theater at home." Lily acted like a baby in Kate's arms. Although she couldn't shout loudly, she could still talk casually when she was in her mother's arms.

"Of course, this is the best theater in London, and soon you can see your mother on the screen." Kate coaxed her daughter.

"That must be great." Lily showed a longing look. This was the first time she participated in the premiere of her mother. Although she couldn't walk on the red carpet, she thought it was already very good.

"If only Diva and Juliet could come." The little guy suddenly sighed again, as if he missed his two younger sisters a little.

"It's like a big sister, my dear." Adrian smiled and pinched his daughter's face.

Lily raised her chin and deliberately snorted to express her dissatisfaction with her father's refusal to walk on the red carpet. Then she made a face and leaned forward to ask Sophie and Monica in the front row, "Why can't Deva and Juliet come?"

"Because they're not as lively as you, they're going to sleep, dear," Monica turned her head, smiled and patted the little guy's head with Sophie.

Adrian said last year that he wanted to sell a manor in the UK, so he spent more than 20 million pounds to buy the Lincoln Holt Manor near Andover, Hampshire, not far from London. Built on the lake, the scenery is beautiful, and it will be very pleasant to go boating or swimming in the lake in summer. Of course, such a manor alone is not worth more than 20 million pounds. At the same time, the 2,000-acre suburbs around the manor were bought, including 1,500 acres of farmland and 425 acres of forest. , a cricket ground and twenty-one dwellings rented out to villagers.

Some of these villagers have lived here since they were born, so Adrian did not forget to sign a statement announcing the renunciation of the right of the first night to the villagers. This thing still exists in some places in the UK. Of course, no one wants to drive or even Care about this power. However, Adrian is also a celebrity after all. If it is known that he has purchased a manor here and still retains this power, the tabloids will definitely like it very much, and it will inevitably become a topic that people talk about.

Although Adrian is a media tycoon, he is also a big celebrity in the entertainment industry. Reporting in this area is not illegal, is it? What's more, he hit the muzzle of the gun himself...

Adrian has never been interested in cricket, and the women in the Commonwealth around him are also indifferent to this sport, so after obtaining the consent of the villagers, the cricket field was changed into a tennis and horse field while the manor was re-specializing. Due to various reasons, it will not be available until mid-May this year, just as "Tomb Raider" has been scheduled to premiere in London, Adrian simply took the whole family to the manor for vacation.

The whole family mentioned here naturally refers to the five daughters and their respective mothers. Although the youngest Eleanor is less than two months old, she can still fly if she takes care of her properly. Now that I am in London, I am sure to attend the premiere of "Tomb Raider", but both Jessica and Blanchett chose to accompany their daughters, especially Blanchett, who likes the environment of Lincoln Holt Manor very much. So only Monica and Sophie actually attended, even so, Diva and Juliet were left in the manor to be taken care of by nannies.

Of course, they were not the only ones who came to the premiere. Rachel and Zeta-Jones also came to the premiere because they are British. A little guy can't do that.

"You're acting like a baby again, Lily, are you planning to never grow up?" The voice came from Adrian's side.

"So what if I don't grow up?" Lily snorted to the visitor, "So what if I act like a baby?"

"It's nothing, it's just..." Little Emma raised her head and looked at Adrian with wide eyes, "Ed, since Lily is acting like a baby in Kate's arms, can I act like a baby in yours?"

Before Adrian could speak, Lily cried out in a hurry: "No, no, dad is mine."

"Okay, then you can act like a baby in Ed's arms, and I'll act like a baby in Kate's arms, that's okay." Little Emma spread her hands.

"It's okay... no, why do I want to go to my father's arms, and you want to go to my mother's arms?" Lily was a little confused by her.

"Oh, dear Lily, you have to know how much I long to find someone and act like a baby in her arms." Little Emma showed a sad look.

"Okay, Emma!" Adrian, who couldn't stand it anymore, shook little Emma's head for a while, and the little girl stuck out her tongue and finally stopped talking.

Then, he turned to his daughter again, wanting to change the topic: "By the way, dear, what do you think of us transforming the theater at home to accommodate more people?"

"Accommodate me and my endless sister?" Lily pouted and asked.

God testifies, her words definitely didn't mean much, she just said it casually, but it was in the ears of the listener...

"I just want to..." Adrian coughed dryly under the eyes of Kate, Monica, and Sophie. Before he could finish speaking, a cheerful voice rang out: "Does that include me?"

Then little Emma stretched her head over with a smile, and she also came to London, but it was not her aunt but Zeta Jones who accompanied her. It's interesting, isn't it?

But Adrian doesn't have time to play now, he really wants to roll his eyes. Hell, can't you not come out and make trouble at this time?

However, little Emma booed again at this time: "There's me! There's me!"

"Okay, shut up all of you, the movie will start soon, obediently sit back in your seat and watch the movie honestly, after the end everyone has to write a review, including you, Lily!" Adri Ann said in a threatening tone, coupled with a vicious expression, he was very convincing, and he suppressed the troublesome little guys in two or three strokes-of course, this has nothing to do with the movie really starting.

Kate's version of "Tomb Raider" still has some similarities compared to the original version. For example, Laura is tied with a rope, and the part of flying trapeze in the villa is preserved. But there are more differences, such as appearance, because today was taken into consideration when making the game, and with the continuous optimization of the 3D engine, the appearance of Kate with her ponytail is very similar to Laura in the current game.

More importantly, this image initially reflects Kate's glamorous temperament. Although Kate is very suitable for starring in romantic comedies, her acting skills are not bad. It was won, but if her performance is not good, it is impossible to get nominated.

But what Adrian likes most is the image of her in action movies. This kind of Kate has an indescribable ability and glamorous, very charming, and because of this, he deliberately arranged for her to appear in "Tomb Raider" Movie version of "Shadow". Then, another movie series is already in the works, and the related novels came out a few years ago, without worrying about being accused of plagiarism or anything like that.

Although Laura didn't have a tight black leather jacket, the shirt, vest, hot pants and boots that fully restored the game fully showed Kate's temperament and figure-but the chest was slightly smaller. In addition, the whole movie revolves around Laura, and all the plots serve to reveal her image, so Kate is particularly eye-catching.

This is another difference from the original version, which Adrian has specifically explained. What is "Tomb Raider" most people or the public - not game fans but the public - remember? A female version of Indiana? Jones, Laura who has appeared on countless magazine covers in avatar? Crawford! To make more people who have never played games like the movie, it is very important to highlight Laura and make all the plots serve her demeanor. Similarly, Kate who plays her is bound to become the audience's attention. Like the original one.

Speaking of which, do you want to find that porn queen to make an AV version of "Tomb Raider"? Such a thought suddenly popped into Adrian's head.

The third important difference from the original version is that the plot is not so fantasy, there are not so many surreal places, and it is relatively close to life!
