"Sometimes, only when you stand on the ground and look down at the earth, will you find out how vast the world is, and your mind will become unknowingly wide." Adrian said as he looked away. It was closed outside the window and landed on Gwinnice's cheeky face with little freckles. "But not now, because now there is only clouds outside, only after the plane descends to the troposphere. Seeing the earth, I would rather look at you. "
Gwennis smiled slightly and said nothing. Compared to that day outside of New York, she had put on a black dress, a dress to her knees, a silk coat, pointed leather shoes, and her hair slightly bent from the sides of her face. Hanging down, concealed the shortcomings of her face shape, and carefully dressed to make her look more temperament.
"I'm serious, Gwinnie, seeing you become more beautiful in a few weeks," Adrian stared at him without blinking, with an unabashed appreciation, "and more in line with my original Ideas. "
"Really?" Gwyneth blinked her eyes and realized something immediately, then she coughed and concealed, "Probably because during this time, I have been thinking about how to be more in line with Terry West image. "
Adrian laughed secretly in his heart and lowered his head to drink coffee pretending not to see it. She was still too tender, just like the day before yesterday, when Adrian was talking about going back to Los Angeles, Gwennis suddenly said in a pleasant tone: "Really, I'm going back soon. Among them Is really too obvious.
In this kind of thing, you can't ask a girl with more than three months to turn 21 to do better, besides Adrian understands why she is so urgent. After guesting with the girl Wendy in her godfather's "Captain Hook" in '91, Gwennis has participated in almost five works in just two years. This number is too amazing. Like a stone thrown into the sea, no spray splashed. The worst situation in the entertainment industry is not bad reviews, but that no one is aware of your existence at all
In fact, in Adrian's memory, she should have a fairly good work last year, but maybe because of the butterfly effect, now Gwennis does n’t get that role, so let him account for it. Great cheap.
In short, the man with the title of director of miracles has now given her a chance and vowed to have a wonderful idea because of her, even if she has signed a contract for three movies, for a desire to become famous and to prove herself For young girls eager to shake off the influence of their parents and godfathers, this opportunity must be seized more firmly.
It's very clear how Adrian refused? Even though Gwennis was so obvious, she immediately invited her back on her private jet. I have to say that the name Miracle Director is really easy to use, and this step was very successful.
"Did we have three movies before, right? Next year I will have a major production in the UK, a war movie about medieval Scotland fighting for independence," Adrian said suddenly, listening to Gwennis's look slightly A move, but a flash of doubt quickly flashed, "At the same time, I plan to produce a medium-cost movie in the UK, a movie adapted from Jane Austin's novel, and I hope you can act as the heroine."
"Adapted from ... Jane Austin's novel?" Gwyneth looked at him in disbelief. This completely unexpected words put her on the seat, not knowing what kind of response was appropriate.
At first she thought that Adrian was going to be invited to play a role in that big production, but it was not possible to think about it carefully. She was a native American girl, how could it be suitable for a medieval British woman? But then he told her, and at the same time, there was a movie adapted from Jane Austin's novel to start filming, and then asked her to act as the heroine ... it was incredible.
"Are you all directing?" God Gwenis asked the ghost, and when she realized that it wasn't right, Adrian had already answered his question: "Yes, I directed it."
This was another unexpected answer.
"It took me about three months to shoot the first movie, and about six weeks if everyone played well," Adrian said.
"Making a war movie in three months?" Only then did Gwennis realize that she had said something stupid again, and although she was calm on the surface, she regretted it, hoping that Adrian would not be angry with him. .
Adrian certainly did not, he smiled empatheticly: "This is a normal response, but I am not the same as other directors and producers. Two years ago I could make three films and release them in one year. And it can be done now. "
"So, why do you think I'm suitable for the actress in Austin's novel, Ed?" Gwennis quickly shifted the topic, which is exactly what she wanted to ask.
"This is the idea I was talking about, Gwinnie." Adrian's smile became a little unpredictable, and her dark eyes looked at her without blinking, giving Gwenness a strange feeling in her heart. .
"I've seen all the works you have participated in so far. What I want to say is that the producers are idiots, and they didn't even realize what kind of charm you have." He said with a disdainful expression, it seems Very dissatisfied with those people.
Immediately, Adrian looked at Gwinnis with a serious and eager look: "Your elegance and temperament are very suitable for such a role, Gwinnie, you will never lose to those British women. Think about it, It's amazing how a native American girl can perfectly represent a British-style female character. "
"Perfect interpretation of a British-style female character?" Gwennis opened her gray-green eyes, revealing an incredible look, her emotions were following the other person completely, "Can I?"
"Of course, I said yes, then you must, I will never look away." Adrian said proudly, the strong confidence in his look made it impossible to question.
He ... It's so charming that Gwenis suddenly said this in her heart, and then she lowered her head and took a deep breath.
"Do you believe me, Gwinnie?" Adrian's voice rang again in his ear.
"Of course." A smile appeared on Gwenness's pretty face.
She has done so many things, what she wants is this, how can she refuse? Moreover, he is humorous, funny and considerate, full of charm, and the way he was doing was really correct.
"Call me when you have time." After the plane resisted Los Angeles, Adrian drove Gwennis back to the apartment, and she finally hugged him and kissed him. The two lingered at the door for a long time before they separated, and she watched him say this with affection.
"I will." Adrian kissed her lips again, gave her a hug, and watched her enter the room.
Gwyneth stretched a sigh of relief and sat down on the sofa, smirking. At this moment, she completely forgot the rumors about Adrian and the female secretary who was always with him.
He is good at acting and has some ingenuity, but he is also naive. This is Adrian's comment to Gwennis on the way back. If he wanted to hug her in bed, it would have been early in New York. When returning from the countryside that day to invite Gwyneth to dinner together and then return her to the hotel room, Adrian tried it a little, and she did not refuse. meaning. And just now, if he was going to her apartment, she would definitely agree, but ...
Now is not the time. Adrian said to himself in his heart. Although he was the same when dating Sophie in Paris, Sophie and Gwyneth were not in the same situation. There was still a lot of trouble to get Sophie, and Gwyneth had already fallen into half. In his hands.
But if you want to master it completely, patience is essential. For example, even if Blanchett returns to Melbourne, Adrian still keeps in touch with her. Is she talking on the phone or talking in a letter? Describe the thoughts. But unlike Blanchett, Gwenis was actively looking for herself, but at the same time was not particularly determined, so a proper hang on her appetite would allow her to get closer.
Of course, there is another reason: Adrian has a date that has been dragged on for a long time. The little girl called and warned with her unique and indifferent tone: If you don't go to the appointment, then forget it.
Adrian naturally wouldn't let the already delicious food slip away so inexplicably, so this became one of his important tasks after returning to Los Angeles. It seems that he is a bit inseparable. In fact, it is not difficult to arrange it properly. Besides, he also has an excellent secretary. Besides, aren't these things that he likes to pursue?
However, after all, it has been dragged on for several weeks, and I don't care about dragging on for a few more days. Let's deal with the work first, let's talk about it. Adrian is still clear. And you can also observe more, whether it is enough to play or worth the effort to add it to the collection object.
Therefore, after he returned to Los Angeles to adjust his work schedule, the first thing he did was to go to the post-editing room of "Forrest Gump".
The person responsible for the preliminary editing is no longer the Kant Pan or Francis Bruce who has cooperated before. This time he chose Arthur Schmidt, who is very good at blending editing. This editor is also a top character in Hollywood. , This method of editing movie characters into historical data has been done before.
Before long, Adrian had exchanged views with the other party by phone. This part of the editing work started even when he went to London-Adrian would not let go of any available time, otherwise he How could it be possible to make three movies a year? Others can only cooperate as much as possible, which is the advantage of having power.
"The lip here is not correct and must be modified," Adrian said, pointing at the screen. In black and white, John F. Kennedy is shaking hands with the players selected for the college football star team. "He is a northerner, but also Irish Descent, when you say, 'It sounds like he's saying he wants to pee,' his mouth looks more rounded. "
At this point he paused, deliberately mimicking Kennedy's accent after a little bit of emotion, and said, "It sounds like he's saying he wants to pee-so you understand, Rick?"
Rick Baker touched his chin for a few minutes, glanced at the editor Schmidt next to him, then flipped the image back and stopped where Kennedy and A-Gump shook hands.
"It's not so easy to modify here. If the mouth is slightly enlarged, the whole picture may be distorted, so ..." He then tuned out the original materials on another machine and pointed at those pictures. Get up, "If you insist, my suggestion is to re-edit these shots and add the Kennedy side profile, so it will be much easier to adjust the mouth shape."
Then Baker spread his arms, looking at Adrian and Schmidt.
"No problem, I can use this lens to re-edit." Shi Mizhe said, but his eyes turned to Adrian.
"Just do what you think, as long as it doesn't affect what you want to express, so far I'm satisfied." Adrian made a gesture, motioned them to do it with confidence.
Most of the later edits of Forrest Gump are no different from other films, but they are very strict in key places because it is very troublesome to produce. Just like now, while putting Hanks' image into historical image data, but also modify the character's mouth shape to correspond to it, then not only the editor's job, but also the participation of the special effects artist. As one of the main highlights of this movie, it would be too bad to make a mistake.
So when editing these shots, Adrian has to supervise on the scene so that problems can be identified and modified in a timely manner. If it takes another four or five years, the production of such special effects will be much simpler, but unfortunately there is still some trouble.
Schmidt and they knew the importance of the matter, so they did not complain.
Fortunately, there are not too many such lenses, so Adrian does not need to stay in the studio anytime, anywhere. However, in addition to this, there are other things that are also important. With the passing of mid-June, the summer vacation has once again come to North America. As one of the most important movie dates, large-scale productions for the purpose of making money are about to be released. And there are three productions to be released under the media that are directly related to Adrian, so he has to participate in all three premieres.
First of all, naturally, it has been waiting for almost half a year, "The True Lie" directed and produced by James Cameron. The action movie, starring Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jamie Lee Curtis, has invested $ 100 million. Even in the 21st century, it is still a big investment and production. Both 20th Century Fox and Adrian knew that if they wanted to recoup their investment, it would be best to put a movie on a summer vacation.
On the day of the premiere, there were many celebrities, not only a lot of people in the circle, but also a lot of people outside the circle. Just think about Schwarzenegger's wife and what his ambitions are. However, compared to Schwarzenegger, who was based around his wife at the premiere, James Cameron, as the director and producer, has some mixed feelings, even if many people who have participated in the screenings congratulated him and thought that The movie is sure to be a big box office sale and it will not improve his mood much.
The good news is that this "true lie" has finally been released. Although it is a little late, but it has also been fully publicized. He is confident that the box office of the movie will be able to sell well. Worrying, he didn't know what to do to satisfy Adrian. He had never forgotten the promise that Adrian gave him after coming out of the bar that day.
Immediately after his forty-year-old James Cameron's success-especially the "Terminator 2" sales and amazing special effects, he also made him a superb director-except for a few comparisons Dear people, other directors and producers are rarely considered. Although he can talk with these people at parties and cocktail parties, there is always a kind of production of commercial films in my heart. Magnificence, let alone those young people.
However, Adrian Cowell was an exception, and the other party impressed him for the first time.
"In my opinion, James Cameron's name is worth my investment." He said so at the time.
This is Cameron's appetite, although he has heard a lot of praise. Of course, at that time Adrian was just a young director who had just taken charge of the director, and the acquired movie company has only begun to improve, so he didn't take it too seriously. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com was just a thought for the "end 2 "pull investment again.
But with the passage of time, after the communication between the two began to deepen, Cameron likes this young man more and more. Adrian is like a tapeworm in his stomach. When talking about movie topics, he always fit his appetite. And he did not conceal his appreciation. The "Real Lies" which was released immediately was the best example. Not only did he give the idea but also brought 20th Century Fox to invest, and he gave all the production power to him. Came How could Long not like him.
At the same time, in just a few years, Adrian has become more and more noticeable. From ghost director to wizard director to miracle director, there has been an amazing leap on it. Although Cameron disagreed with non-commercial films, he also had to admit that Adrian is very powerful, can shoot any kind of subject matter, and the speed of shooting is proportional to the quality, and dull art films can also be earned With money and vision, Director Miracle's title is worthy of the name.
Because of this, Cameron was very curious about the promise, and he wondered what kind of miracle Adrian planned to create. Although the other party didn't say anything at first, he still heard something, that is, the investment will never be lower than the current movie. For Cameron who likes to burn money pile special effects, this is simply too appetizing for him. So when Adrian later added a condition as long as "Real Lies" satisfied him, he began to figure out what would be satisfactory.
