Chapter 133: dispute

It is not surprising that the response from British media and critics will be so fierce. Although Adrian has a British grandmother, although he also has a default British nationality, although his first film was shot in London and filled with a lot of British black humor, but he is always an American
Although Britain and the United States are politically allies, most of the time in culture they look down on each other. Americans feel that the British are hypocritical and British feel that the Americans are rude and uneducated. It's unimaginable if we don't fight each other for a long time. This strange state may be ridiculous in the eyes of outsiders, but the middle class in Britain and the United States looks really normal.
As an American, Adrian produced films with a strong cult style and won the Golden Palm Awards at the Cannes Film Festival. Such a person wants to put on the screen the works of Edward Morgan Foss known for its freshness and elegance, or one of the most famous novels, Howard Manor. It is no wonder that the British media will be so indignant. It was almost a one-sided attack.
As for the American media, it seems very embarrassing. Generally speaking, they should speak for themselves at this time, but Adrian is really too whimsical this time. If this novel has at least a few similarities with his previous film styles, they will defend him, but the truth is ...
"Frankly, we are very looking forward to seeing an unusual" Howard Manor "full of violence and black humor in a few months. It must be cool. Can't speak, but such a comment will only add fuel to the fire.
With this clue, it will be much easier to find it again. To bring this novel to the big screen, you must rent a manor, unless the leased manor cannot be too far from London, so after some effort, the reporter We finally came to your door.
"I hope everyone will continue, the lens at the manor will be over, don't let these guys disturb you. Of course, I will let people drive them far away." Adrian let these reporters Rush away and call Hopkins for a small meeting in the living room.
Although he knew the situation outside and made some preparations, he still did not expect that the reporters would come so fast. It is indeed the birthplace of paparazzi.
"I think it's perfectly fine." Hopkins took the lead.
After the appearance of the reporter, Adrian privately told him and Thompson about the situation outside, especially the British media blame themselves and them-because Hopkins and Thompson are British, the British media must tolerate them Many, apart from thinking that they dare not cooperate with this "stupid" and "arrogant" director, they hardly say anything else. The main firepower is focused on Adrian, which is really different treatment.
Hopkins knows that this is Adrian's performance in seeking support, and he and Thompson are the two most important actors in the cast. After this period of cooperation, the wizard director he has recognized in his heart will naturally not support it.
"Yes, it's not difficult." Thompson followed. Although she had expected that this might happen when she first chose to cooperate, she finally agreed to it, and Adrian with little Emma gave her a wonderful feeling. Her instinct convinced her that it could be done. Cooperate with such a person. As for risk, as a famous actress who is preparing to develop towards a producer, how can she not know that any film is risky?
With the support of the two starring actors and the most important supporting actress-Kate certainly will not stand by his boyfriend. Other actors and staff also echoed. Adrian waved his hands after uniting the interior, and the whole crew immediately began to operate again.
The journalists who were driven far away were very unwilling but could not do anything for the time being. The field of vision outside the manor was very wide. The camera would include a lot of things when taking a distant shot. Understand, but it will cause trouble if you use it more often. Therefore, no matter what kind of reporters do not deliberately affect the shooting when interviewing the crew, this is also one of the hidden rules.
After all, they still took photos with a camera from a distance, and then wrote down what they saw and sent back-of course, adding fuel and vinegar is definitely indispensable, so the British media lashed out more sharply.
"Obviously, Adrian was very confident in himself. He was stubborn and refused to disclose any information about the film and drove the reporters away. Although it seemed-yes, yes, it seems-he A lot of effort was spent on costume props, but the profound meaning contained in Foster's novel is not expressed with a few fancy costumes and epochal props. Oh, this is really the whole of England Unfortunately, no director wants to adapt this novel into a movie, "a report in the famous British tabloid" The Sun "wrote.
Although as an entertainment tabloid, it is quite funny to elevate things to such a high level, but don't forget that publicity is the purpose of the Sun, even if it is a few years before its most arrogant time.
But Adrian, who was busy shooting in the manor, didn't care about it. He now devotes all his energy to his work. There is no need to refute it. It's already like that. Speak with the facts. Moreover, the slamming that was caused was already within the La Verne plan. A movie can get a high box office, and marketing methods account for at least 40% of the credit. If it is not publicized, how can the audience obediently pay for the movie theater? How could film critics follow the film? This is why many newcomer directors who want to step up to the sky like to make movies with subject matter that is easily controversial.
"Howard Manor" has a budget of about $ 10 million. This is because Hopkins only paid $ 4 million for Foster's novels. Otherwise, as his new Oscar, Definitely more than this price. As a literary and drama film adapted from British novels, such a high budget is already dangerous. If you spend a lot of money on publicity, it is likely that you will not be able to recover the cost. After all, this movie is too small.
In this case, then think of a way to do some free but effective publicity, such as causing huge controversy as mentioned before, people's curiosity will never fade, the greater the controversy, the more they want to see. However, Adrian does not need to shoot some taboo subjects. A director known for gangsters and violent subjects, it is enough to direct a gimmick of a fresh and elegant literary film in Victorian style.
These things are handled by La Verne, Adrian only needs to ensure the quality of the movie, so no matter how the British media attacked him. Fortunately for him, Emma was picked up by the aunt three days before the reporters arrived-although she now has fun aside from playing every day, it is not appropriate to stay in the film crew for a long time-otherwise God knows those What the media will write is not good for little guys.
Emma was very unhappy when she left. As for the reason, it goes without saying. After that night, the little guy desperately drilled into his arms as soon as he fell asleep, and even lay on him completely during the day, feeling that he was declaring this to be her territory, and no one could violate it.
In this regard, Adrian shrugged helplessly. Fortunately, even if the little guy was reluctant, even if he looked at him eagerly, he eventually left the manor, so he "caught" Kate back to the bedroom that night Intimate.
Unfortunately, only a few days later, the reporters came here again. Although they can block them outside the manor, although they dare not disturb the filming of the movie, they can take a long shot while taking a break during the break. There are, however, some inconveniences if the intimate shots are taken. So although I really wanted to continue, I hesitated again and again.
"Anyway, we are mostly at work now, so let's talk back to London." Kate comforted him in private, which made Adrian a little surprised. When the night was intimate, she was Struggling with kicks and kicks took a long time to be tamed.
Kate, aware of his thoughts, gave him a grimace and turned away. Adrian shrugged, leaving the matter behind, and Kate was right, let's finish the work first.
The extra reporters did not affect the operation of the crew. After all, they could only observe from a distance, and they would not take photos when shooting. As for the various attacks that were passed on to the crew because of them, although they caused some small fluctuations among British employees, they were basically dissatisfied and indignant. Although most British employees cooperated with Adrian for the first time, I have only been working for three weeks, but I still think that this kind of talk is totally irresponsible ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Don't be angry, we just need to do our job well. "Adrian, in his eyes, comforted them more than once. As long as there were no doubts inside, any problems would be solved.
After the reporters flocked in, it took almost another 5 days. When the time officially entered July, the lens of the manor was finally shot. But Adrian just breathed a sigh of relief, because the plan was disrupted, and I am afraid that the remaining shots will encounter many difficulties when shooting.
All of these plays need to be filmed in the city. Although there are many locations to choose from in London, after all, they are not as convenient as Hollywood studios and movie cities. If you run around, you must take advantage of them.
Generally speaking, if you stay outside the crew for a few days without getting much news, most reporters will leave after leaving a few people who are concerned about the situation, and this is only a big production treatment. But it's been five or six days, and those journalists waiting far away haven't actually decreased. Obviously, they are eager to dig something out.
