Chapter 132: They still come

Although Kate is easy to NG when shooting long shots, this movie is not made up of one or more long shots, so she finally recovered after shooting these scenes.
In these short shots, Kate still performed well. She was originally an Englishman and had seen these novels before, so she felt more accurate about the characters. Of course, it is incomparable with experienced actors like Hopkins and Thompson. When she plays with other people, there are still one or two outstanding places, but once they are with them, they will be comprehensive. pressing.
However, Kate did not take this matter to heart, and still worked hard to do his job. In addition, Adrian has always controlled the shooting rhythm very well, for example, he has drawn on the paper for each shot-even if It's simple lines-then explain to the actors in detail before the shoot, and always keep it uninterrupted.
So even if the crew had problems like this, when shooting a driving scene on a small road outside the manor, the antique car almost turned over, and it shocked the actors on the car; or the customized costumes came out. The problem was that it was returned inconsistent with the style of the time, which caused the shooting to be interrupted for two days and so on. Still at the end of June, most of the footage at Howard Manor will be shot.
"You are a great director, Ed. I think my previous decision was completely correct." Hopkins once said to Adrian privately, after seeing his long-rumored fast shooting method and the After controlling and understanding the novel, he strengthened his confidence in him.
However, some things were so unsatisfactory. When Adrian brought the crew to the manor at the beginning, in order to let everyone devote all their enthusiasm, he carried out a fully enclosed filming, not only cleaning up the TV, but No newspapers are allowed. Although some people inevitably have to go out, and some of the footage also need to go to the town to shoot, Adrian asked the crew of the crew not to discuss outside things.
Many people were a little dissatisfied at the beginning, but they did n’t say anything after getting used to it. Although Adrian asked for it, the implementation was not strict. Everyone talked a lot in private. As for the lack of a television and newspaper, it doesn't matter. Anyway, it is only two or three weeks of work. Several old employees who have been following Adrian know that the director will end as many times as he says, and the error is only two or three days That's it.
Therefore, the whole estate is very peaceful and relaxed after the shooting. However, on the last day of June, this tranquility was suddenly broken. As many journalists appeared from the land, they appeared around the manor early in the morning, waiting for Hopkins and Adrian. Or immediately after Thompson came out, swarmed up.
"Mr. Adrian, this is William of the Daily Mirror. How do you want to bring Mr. Foster's novel" Howard Manor "to the big screen? What kind of subject matter do you think you are great at? Can you shoot? "
"Why would you choose to work with a director who is famous for making cults on a literary and drama film, but also Foster's Howard Manor, Ms. Thompson?"
"Mr. Hopkins, what made you think that working with Mr. Adrian on a literary and drama film is the right thing? Are you sure he can grasp the context of the film?"
These guys are like smelling sharks, no matter what the situation is like Hopkins and others, desperately rushing up to grab the news. Fortunately, the other members of the crew immediately came out, kicking these reporters out.
"It's a hell, why did they come here so soon?" Adrian said with a bit of depression after returning to the room with some of the main actors. He knew that these reporters would come sooner or later. Although he was asked not to communicate with the outside during the estate, he kept in touch with La Verne, so the media's response was expected.
"Vulgar Fiction" has so far collected more than 30 million box office in North America. Although this figure is not high, it is not as high as the level of "Batman Returns" released in the same period of two weeks, but it is very good. It is stable. For a little over 3 weeks, the box office is around 10 million a week, and the range of rise and fall is not large.
Moreover, Adrian explained to Lafferne at the beginning that the box office was to be recovered by long-distance screening, so as long as this is maintained, there will be no problem in "reappearing" the record of 100 million in North America.
The film won the honor-won the Golden Palm; and the current hit-for the R-class film is a cult type, the current results have been quite good. It has caused a lot of cult genre movies, and has also led many major filmmakers to focus on independent small-cost movies. Some critics even think that Hollywood independent filmmakers should thank Adrian. Without him and his "Vulgar Fiction", independent films would not receive such attention-although Adrian's works are not completely independent Film, but this kind of trend is indeed caused by him.
In this way, the public and the media began to dig deeper into the wizard director. Although all his previous experiences have been known, people are still very curious, how a guy with a good attitude made such a gangster movie of? Even if he had been fooling around for a while, some things would not be so clear unless he had stayed at the bottom of society.
Whether it is Martin Scorsese or Francis Ford Coppola, can you make those famous gangster movies without those young experiences? But in any way, Adrian is a high-class man. How did he catch these things? Although he said in Cannes that this was because he watched many gangster movies and videos, this explanation obviously did not satisfy the vast majority of people, so a new round of excavation and analysis is bound to be carried out.
In this way, there has been no pause, and the comparison between Adrian's new film genres and the original style has been taken out again. Only since the release of "Vulgar Fiction", the wizard director has disappeared from the public eye again. At the beginning, he also played some publicity activities. After a few times, only actors and other producers were left at such activities. Already.
Although no one knows where he went, the reporters are journalists, especially entertainment reporters. It was soon found that he had taken the crew of the new film to the United Kingdom, and he was accompanied by the newly-born film emperor Anthony Huo. Perkins
"Obviously, after spoiling Al Pacino, he turned his attention to Anthony Hopkins. If I were Anthony, I would definitely think about cooperating with Adrian in a literary and drama film. Was it the right choice? "A newspaper wrote half ridiculed and mocked.
"I am very skeptical that Adrian nominally announced that he would make a literary drama film, but the actual shooting is a thriller movie, otherwise why did he invite him to just won one of the most horrifying characters in history to win the Oscar for best actor Anthony Hopkins starring in the protagonist? "Said another newspaper.
The major media immediately sent reporters to London. Although Adrian vowed to declare that the new film is a complete literary and drama series, he never revealed the specific name. Now he actually took the crew to the UK, so does it mean that this film Will the film be British? If that's the case, the fun will be great.
However, because Adrian was well-prepared, and he was filming in the suburbs, he also specifically told his partners to keep secrets, so although these reporters got a lot of clues that he was indeed in London, they never knew where he was.
However, later British journalists also joined in, and they have been paying attention to Adrian's new movie. With the help of these dudes, they soon got a message from King ’s College, Cambridge University. More than a year ago, a Hollywood producer found them buying the right to adapt Foster's novel Howard Manor.
According to this news, after further searching, the reporters finally found that the person who bought the adaptation rights for this novel was a producer of Bosworth Pictures and then associated with Adrian's statement that what is his new movie It goes without saying.
Of course, there are still many journalists who don't believe that, although Adrian has successfully adapted Stephen King's novel before and nominated for the best director of Oscar, the style of this novel and his previous movies are simply It ’s a terrible difference. If he really chooses to adapt this novel, there is only one explanation: his head is flooded.
It ’s a pity ~ EbookFREE.me ~ After questioning Bosworth Pictures, the answers shattered their illusions: Adrian's new movie is indeed Howard Manor
The North American media all lost their voices for a while, and the British media began to speak hard after being stunned.
There is a strong attack: "What does he want to do? Whoever gives him the power to do so will ruin the novel"
There are sharp doubts: "Although Adrian has stayed in the UK, the first film also interpreted British black humor just right, but it does not mean that he can arrogantly believe that he can adapt Foster's Does he understand what this novel is about? Does he understand what this novel represents? God, this is a real disaster. "
There are also bitter taunts: "Obviously, after a few months, we can see on the big screen Henry and Margaret swearing at each other, a sharp Helen who takes drugs, a scrupulous one who does nothing wrong Family, it is expected that a 'k' will appear every two or three minutes. Maybe in the end Henry will want to kill Margaret and eat her, and Margaret and Helen will try to kill him, Howard Manor-if I were Foster, I would definitely jump out of the grave and kill this American boy myself "()
