King of Hollywood

\u003e Chapter 119 I'm going to make a mistake...

For Adrian, who can see foresight, the original scripts in memory can be obtained in advance by various means. For example, "The Matrix" such as "Tomb Raider", it is always easier to start with movies that are originally novels. So when The Hours came out in '98, Miramax was with Michael at Adrian's behest? Cunningham, who hadn't won the Pulitzer Prize at the time, so easily got the film rights.

Is the director still Stephen? Dudley, he has already proved his strength in last year's "Jump Out of My World", which can be regarded as indirectly allowing Nicole to win the Best Supporting Actress. Adrian doesn't mind letting him get the honor he deserves.

But it's a bit difficult to assign the main roles, Meryl? Streep is basically indispensable, Adrian has seen the original, although it is a very dull fine art film, slow pace, plot dragging, but there is really no substitute for the woman around her. Julianne? Adrian wants Julia to try Moore's role. It's time for her to change her image, but this is a housewife, but Julia has always been an independent woman, even if she wants to change her image, she can't It was too sudden, and Julia felt that it was not suitable after reading the script, so it finally fell on Sophie.

In fact, at the beginning, Adrian wanted Sophie to play the role of Streep, and he could also let Monica play the role of the lesbian lover casually, but it was a bit blatant. Because Monica and Sophie often go out in pairs, there are also related lesbian scandals. If it weren't for people knowing that they both had an ambiguous relationship with Director Miracle, such scandals would probably have spread everywhere.

So after careful consideration, the image of a housewife is more suitable for her to play. After all, these are all for her to accumulate qualifications.

As for the key heroine, it is a bit embarrassing, Adrian is constantly wandering between Kate and Rachel. Not to mention Kate, the first woman after his rebirth, and the mother of his first child, has a unique place in Adrian's heart. If you don't think about her, who will you think about? It doesn't matter if she doesn't win the award. He said before that it doesn't matter if it takes ten years to lay the foundation for her to accumulate qualifications for her to be on the Oscar queen throne with dignity.

And Rachel, the woman who always speaks the wrong things, and the woman who always needs to be "brutally violated and whipped" by him to achieve sexual desire, can be regarded as a very characteristic collection on his collection shelf, so it should be The rewards are still indispensable, anyway, next year's Oscar Adrian has his own arrangements.

Cunningham's novel is based on Virginia? Woolf and her work "Mrs. Dalloway". Although Woolf was a female pioneer in that era, she was still as weak as many women on the surface, and suffered serious trauma in her heart, so I found It would be better to play her with a more delicate actor. Nicole in the original version also had to wear ugly makeup and a fake nose to conceal her beauty and highlight her temperament.

Both Kate and Rachel have different classical temperaments, especially Rachel, who graduated from Trinity College, Cambridge, has an indescribable taste of books that makes people feel good.

Adrian, who was in a dilemma, simply handed it over to Dudley to make a decision after the audition, which made the British director quite flattered. You must know that Adrian has always designated who will play the heroine of the movie he values—— Needless to say, there is no need to say more about the tricks-and these designated actors have basically proved to be very suitable during the film production and after the release, so no director can insist on his views on actors in front of him.

In this case, he handed over the decision-making power to Dudley's hands. It is needless to say what this means. So Dudley spent several days thinking about it. He felt that the script was very good, and he didn't want to lose this opportunity, but a decision was always to be made, so after much deliberation, he finally chose the one he thought was more suitable. Surprisingly, after notifying Adrian, he didn't say anything, but only expressed his support, which made Dudley heave a sigh of relief, and became more attentive after he started directing.

Adrian didn't know that his actions made Dudley work harder, he just agreed with the director in his heart that Rachel was indeed more suitable than Kate. If Adrian hadn't changed Kate's life trajectory, she would have entered Oxford after graduating from high school. Although she dropped out of school to act in a movie, the atmosphere of Oxford still played a role in nurturing her. Therefore, even though she likes literature very much, she won several prestigious writing competition awards when she was in girls' middle school, and even now she still occasionally writes small articles for contribution, but she is much worse than Rachel in this aspect .

Moreover, Rachel is two years older than her, and her acting skills are better—the best actress Oscar nomination for "The English Patient" was not entirely based on public relations—so it is indeed more appropriate.

It's not a big deal, it's just a nomination. As I said before, Adrian has other plans next year, and it doesn't matter if it takes ten years to accumulate qualifications for Kate.

The matter was settled like this, and then Adrian, who had enjoyed enough in Los Angeles, got up and went to London. Oh, of course, he had to stop in New York on the way. First, he went to his uncle's house as usual, and took part in some entertainment by the way. The second thing is to look at the restless little bird in his hands.

"On the contrary, I think the author uses red very cleverly. Although it gives people a sense of anxiety, it also urges you to move forward with enthusiasm." A pair standing in the gallery is made up of various color blocks. Yes, in front of works full of post-modern styles, Adrian said to Natalie.

The slightly petite girl was wearing a brown trench coat and a bonnet. She looked a bit cute, but a pair of boots made her look very personable.

"If you think so...that's fine." Natalie didn't mean to argue at all.

Adrian shrugged, raised his hand to look at the time, and then took her arm: "It's almost time, let's go to dinner, Pinas Restaurant has strict requirements on guests, if the time is exceeded, Even I couldn't get them to free up another table."

Natalie glanced around, making sure that no one recognized her and Adrian until now, and then coughed softly: "Sorry, Ed, I suddenly don't want to go to the restaurant, maybe... it's better to have dinner in the apartment it is good?"

Although she used a questioning tone, Adrian knew that if he refused, she would immediately start begging, so he raised his eyebrows and then agreed: "No problem, I'll let them deliver the dinner."

They left the gallery together, and then went back to the apartment by car together, and the two of them didn't talk much. Since that incident, Natalie, who always likes to talk on dates, has gradually become silent for obvious reasons, but she is now trying to change this situation, otherwise she would not take the initiative to comment on the painting in the gallery, only……

"You have to admit that the Pinas restaurant is completely worthy of the three-star rating—red wine? Or champagne?" Adrian opened his wine cabinet while talking. In the dark room, only the candles on the dining table were dancing with light. atmosphere, and Natalie, who took off her windbreaker and sat on a chair, was dimly illuminated by the candlelight, quite mysteriously attractive.

By the time they got back to the apartment, the waiter from the Pinas restaurant had come and arranged everything, and all they had to do was eat. However, Adrian declined the wine varieties provided by the restaurant. Although he does not like to collect all kinds of wine like Claude, there are many treasures in the apartment.

"Red wine, thank you." Natalie replied lightly.

"Okay." Adrian said, took out a bottle, opened it with a corkscrew, and came to her with both hands under a handkerchief, and gracefully filled the glass in front of her.

"Is it my illusion?" He asked suddenly after putting down the bottle, and then stretched out his hand to pinch Natalie's face frivolously, "You seem to have become a little thinner again."

"From a psychological point of view, if a person is very possessive, then he can easily not tolerate a little bit of imperfection in his eyes, so even if some things have not changed, they still seem to him to be constantly in harmony with each other. My will is at odds." Natalie still maintained that flat tone, "Besides, I am a very trustworthy person, and I will definitely do what I promised."

Adrian chuckled softly and didn't speak. After pouring some red wine for himself, he sat back in his seat and said again: "It seems that you have completed your studies well, have you started preparing your graduation thesis? George The second part of the Star Wars prequel has been scheduled for this year's summer vacation."

"Yes, he wants me to participate in the publicity this time. I need a lot of time to prepare my graduation thesis, so I will go back to Boston tomorrow." When she said the last sentence, Natalie, who was pulling the dishes, inadvertently paused.

"Time flies," Adrian didn't pay attention, and then began to sigh, "In the blink of an eye, you will graduate from Harvard. I really miss my time at Harvard, but it's a pity that many places are not with you. I have been there, such as the library. Speaking of which, I have also been to Harvard and its famous library before, and I still remember that there is a..."

"No!" Before he finished speaking, Natalie suddenly cried out. Although her eyelids were drooping and the light was not bright, it could be seen from her rising and falling chest that she knew what was behind the words. meaning, and reacted violently.

Adrian chuckled, sipped his red wine calmly, and then changed the subject: "Speaking of which, although I have been to the set of "The Clone Wars" a few times, I haven't gone to George's to watch it in detail. ..."

Every time she teases and teases her like this, there is an indescribable pleasure. After the Oscars last year, Natalie gradually changed from the original resistance to the direction of catering, but at the same time she was constantly struggling in her heart. Fear and disgust made her maintain a certain degree of resistance, so she became very contradictory. So when she was in the gallery, she could start a conversation, but she didn't want to argue, that's why she said those words with sarcasm just now.

Don't worry, dear Nada, you will agree. Adrian, who raised his glass to gesture to Natalie, thought with a smile. And you'll be the one who said the word "library" to me.

After flying from New York to London, Adrian was not in a hurry to meet little Emma, ​​but went to Rachel's house. Although "The Hours" was launched at the end of last year, it has to tell the stories of three women, so relatively speaking, there is more free time for filming, and Rachel has a habit, every time she stays in the United States for a long time, she I will go back to London to stay for a while, and when Adrian arrived in London, she happened to be there—with Ivanka as a conscientious secretary, he knew the woman’s whereabouts very well—so some "torture" was inevitable .

"Yes, dear, I'm already in London, I'll be here soon," Adrian said on the phone with little Emma, ​​"it's nothing, it's just a personal matter, you said it, you'll forgive me, Is it right?"

It's really just a little personal matter, like setting up a camera next to it, and then let a certain girl with outstanding temperament lie on her back on the table, tie her limbs to the table legs, and stand in front of her head. This is not a good opportunity to talk to little Emma, ​​but who made Adrian forget to turn off the phone, and put it next to him, and notified the little guy before coming.

So he got it all over Rachel's head and hair in the end, but she didn't mind. After she let go of the rope, she curled up on the table, her eyes immersed in it, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised. .

Adrian also asked Rachel in a half-joking insinuation how it turned into this-although he caused it.

"Who knows, sometimes once the devil in my heart is not released, it can't be closed anymore." Rachel replied very sadly.

But if you really think that she is helpless and sad, you are very wrong. Maybe she did have that meaning two or three years ago, but now, don’t look at her often looking at Adrian with sad eyes, don’t look at her After being pressed on the bed, she always looks weak and pitiful. All this is for Adrian to use various means to rape her better.

In a sense, what Rachel said was true.

Well, let’s not talk about this, although little Emma reluctantly agreed to be considerate of him when she left Los Angeles, and repeated it on the phone, but when Adrian finally tried his best to appear in front of her, the first thing he got Still a big white eye.

"Hey, honey, you promised me, and in order to avoid those guys outside, I had to sneak in through the back door." Adrian was very wronged.

"Let's not talk about whether there are really reporters outside, even if there are, you can let me go there!" Little Emma said confidently.

Well, for the unreasonable little guy, what else can he do other than throw up his hands and surrender? But this time accompanying the little guy is not as casual as before, because there are many reporters outside guarding the streets and alleys of London.

With the popularity of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" worldwide, the three young leading actors have also become popular. As a British media with "excellent" traditions, how could it be possible not to dig deep into their families? Eric and George are fine, their families are very good, but once little Emma's experience is revealed, it will inevitably be used by many unscrupulous media to make a fuss, let alone Adrian.

In fact, the story of her parents tragically killed when she was very young, and now being adopted by her aunt, has now spread all over the world. The efficiency of the British media in this regard is beyond words. The Sun newspaper is said to be before Christmas. The situation in this regard has already been collected, and only considering various factors, such as the "Children's Law" and other regulations, and to ensure that it is exclusive information, so I chose to publish it after Christmas.

As far as it is concerned, it is still a good thing for the time being. Once the news was disclosed, little Emma immediately won the sympathy of countless people. Coupled with the information from the media, as well as the well-behaved and mature performance shown in some programs and premieres, people know that she has not become extreme and weird because of the death of her parents. She is a very cute, lively, A strong and sunny girl, so she became the most popular among the three young protagonists.

But little Emma didn't have this awareness, she just found all this annoying and annoying.

"Not to mention the media, neighbors, friends, classmates, teachers, and even the admirable old actors in the crew, they seem to have changed, and they often look at me with praise, as if I have done something great. Things." After finally relying on the power of makeup to come to the street, Emma began to complain non-stop.

"That's because you did something amazing." Adrian smiled and touched her head, "There are many children who can come out of the shadows, but at the same time they can grow up happily, never complain, and are strong , kindness and sunshine, there are very few children like this.”

"That's because you are by my side." Little Emma suddenly tightened his hand as she spoke, looking up at him with some anxiety, "You won't change, will you?"

"Of course, I will never change." Adrian stopped and said with a smile, "Even if those guys exaggerate and talk nonsense, I will never change."

"Exaggerated and nonsense?" Little Emma was puzzled.

"You know, I suggested that you go for an audition," Adrian said after thinking about it, "sooner or later, the reporters will find out the connection between me and you, and then they will seize on it and make a big fuss about it." Stories that put bad things on your head, especially when you're so popular right now, and they even try to embarrass you in ways you can't think of when you're at an event."

"Why did they do this?!" The little girl opened her eyes wide in surprise and anger.

"That's what they do. People like to watch this. As long as it attracts attention, they don't mind selling their souls to Satan." Adrian said and squatted down in front of her, "I can't be by your side all the time, so Once you really encounter this kind of thing, you must be strong, you must not be confused, you must not be led by the nose by them, you must have your own thinking, you must understand your goals, and then don't give up, don't let them knock you down, understand? "

The little girl whispered a few words, then her eyes suddenly lit up, then she hugged him fiercely, separated after a long while, then shook hands into fists, and said loudly: "Yes, I understand, I will never give up on myself The goal! Absolutely no one will block and defeat you!"

Staring at him with clear eyes, with indescribable enthusiasm and determination, Adrian suddenly realized that the little guy... seems to have misunderstood.
