With the official opening of the Cannes Film Festival on May 12, this seaside town has become even more lively.Reporters are holding cameras against cameras to travel back and forth at various news release points, tirelessly collecting those that can attract attention. News, gossip and anecdotes. And male and female celebrities from all over the world are also rare and generous to let them enjoy shooting, asking questions, and promoting for themselves or the movie writers they star in.
Compared with the United States, Adrian is less famous in Europe. After all, in addition to the "two big smoke guns" of the three works, the other two stories are in the United States. The average European person prefers commercial American films, but critics who advertise themselves as art think that these two films are not artistic enough.
However, it is only a small one.Those who like cult style, suspense, and strange ideas are not a minority.The ideology shown in `` Shards of Memory '' and `` Redemption of Shawshank '', or critics The ideology in the eyes is also praiseworthy. Therefore, on May 16, when Vulgar Fiction premiered at the Kappa Theatre on Maxden Avenue, European journalists also came in, although they accounted for a lot of them.
"According to the current plot introduction, Mr. Adrian, your new movie is still a cult genre, and it seems to be narrated in three paragraphs. Then, this time, are you working on the editing like" Memory Fragments "?" Outside the railing, a French journalist asked loudly as he clicked into the microphone while the camera was snapping.
It is just that his English is a bit bad. Adrian basically understands it if he changes the French. Unfortunately, in such a noisy situation, he does not understand what he is saying at all.
"Can it be repeated once?" Adrian asked in French.
The reporter immediately realized his problem, and immediately switched to French to ask the question again, but Adrian's answer made him cry and laugh: "I'm sorry, I can't answer this. The movie will be broadcast soon. Observe it with your own eyes. Of course, I promise, this is a very interesting movie. "
I finally took the opportunity to ask my own question, and repeated it to make the other person understand. I never thought I would get such an answer, and everyone would feel depressed. He also wanted to continue to ask, but unfortunately, the American journalist nearby had snatched this opportunity: "Mr. Adrian, is your fifth movie still the cult type you chose, because the fourth movie is not satisfactory?"
Reporters in other countries around the country also immediately raised their ears, and this news has already spread to Europe. It's a pity that Adrian didn't answer directly, just smiled slightly: "I'm sorry, today is the premiere of Vulgar Novel, so I don't answer questions that have nothing to do with this movie."
"Then I can think of it as your acquiescence?" American reporter asked unwillingly.
Adrian didn't answer, and looked around to signal other people's questions. An Italian reporter immediately opened his mouth: "Mr. Adrian, can you tell us why Monica Bellucci was selected for this film? Actress? "
"Because she is the most suitable." Adrian said, holding Monica, who was always by her side, and today she wore a sleeve-colored low-cut evening dress and set off her graceful figure with a slim figure and murdered A lot of film.
"As the mistress's mistress, the heroine needs to give people a and unruly feeling. I chose a lot of actresses for this, and I didn't find the most suitable one until Monica participated. Audition.
Adrian said, looking at Monica with admiration,
Although she did n’t have much experience, I knew she was the role I was looking for after a little acting, so I did n’t hesitate Select Monica. "
Monica did not speak, but just looked at the reporters with a smile. Although her aura was not as strong as it was a few years later, it also made many people's eyes bright-especially Italian reporters.
"It turned out that my decision was very correct. Monica's performance in the movie was almost perfect. She was like my muse, which gave me a lot of inspiration during the filming." Adrian continued, around Some reporters became ambiguous after a couple of seconds.
Generally speaking, when a director calls his heroine in a movie his own muse, that can only tell one thing. Of course, no one is stupid enough to break through that layer of paper, and tabloids can be casually written because everyone knows that 90% of their words are not credible, and those famous newspapers must abide by such hidden rules, unless there is a real Evidence, but this is also a hint, there is news to dig between them.
Looking at the entrance to the theater that was not far away, Adrian immediately took his Monica's arm and walked inside, and the reporters who wanted to continue to ask can only stop, and then took the camera and shot them against their background .
"Are you serious, Ed?" Monica suddenly whispered into the theater's front hall.
"Of course," Adrian answered without thinking. "You were indeed my muse when shooting" Vulgar Fiction ", otherwise I wouldn't spend so much thought on you."
"Not now?" Monica's face flashed a complex look.
"Frankly, I can't be sure," Adrian stopped and looked at her, his earnest look made him look sincere, "But my obsession with you is never adulterated, Monica."
Monica was silent for a few seconds, and then said provocatively, "You said in front of the reporter that I am your muse, aren't you afraid your little girlfriend is jealous?"
"What is what, when you were shooting, you were indeed my muse. Why can't I admit it?" Adrian shrugged his shoulders, looking quite free and easy.
Monica's look was more complicated. She opened her mouth and seemed to want to say something, but in the end she just sighed. Adrian smiled slightly, and squeezed her hips slightly, then led her to continue inside.
"Hey Ed, oh, and Monica." John Travolta, who had already come to the screening room early, greeted with a smile, and Samuel Jackson and Dennis and Lafferne were with him. Together, there are Bruce Willis and his wife Demi Moore.
"You run so fast, throw all the reporters to me and Moni to deal with." Adrian walked in front of them and said babblefully.
"As a director and producer, you should take more responsibilities than us, don't you? Let's say you guys ..." Tara Volta, who was joking, was talking, suddenly realized something, and spread his hands and laughed without continuing. Go on.
Basically, everyone knows what's going on between Adrian and Monica, and more or less knows he has a girlfriend, but nobody says more about it-the clearest Dennis is more It's a closed mouth. Everyone is a man and understands this very well, even if they are married Willis and Tara Volta.
A few words of embarrassment from each other, Adrian talked to the Willis and the wife for a while, and everyone took their seats to wait for the movie.
"How's it going?" Adrian whispered and asked Rafern, who was sitting on his right.
"Not very good, you know, we have spent at least a few years before. Although you started reorganizing your contacts after you acquired the company, once this thing is abandoned and you want to pick it up again, it is sometimes better than building a brand new one. It's even more difficult. More importantly, this is Europe. "Lafferne said softly, but he seemed calm.
"It doesn't matter, there is still time anyway." Adrian also noticed this, "Do your best, as long as you do your best, it doesn't matter if you lose."
"I will." Lafferne nodded.
The discussion between the two was naturally the Golden Palm Awards at the Cannes Film Festival.Although the original `` Vulgar Novel '' won the Golden Palm, Adrian was also confident that this version would not be worse than the original, but whether he could get the Golden Palm but did not. 100% certainty.
It has been said a long time ago that these film festivals are essentially cake-sharing, except that Oscars have a mainstream value as a standard. The closer you are to this standard, the easier it is to gain favor, while the European Film Festival only focuses on art. The brand is held high, so the rules are more confusing than Oscar's, so whether you can get a cake depends on the PR being in place.
Because of this, when Adrian bought the film company, he chose the well-established Bosworth Films. Subsequent facts also proved that his choice was not wrong. Laffern and his agent Roger successfully won him an Oscar nominee for best director.
No matter how you divide the cake, the quality of the movie still occupies a very high proportion. Adrian believes that there is no problem with Vulgar Novels, so now I can see whether La Verne can be like the two bosses of Miramax. I got the golden palm for "Vulgar Fiction". UC Reading www. uukanshu.com Of course, it does n’t matter if it does n’t work. Although Golden Palm has a high international reputation, it has far less influence in the United States than Oscar, so it ’s okay to get it naturally.
"So, how is the propaganda work of" Smelling the Woman "?" Adrian asked another question.
"At present, it is within the scope of control, but I think it can be eased for the time being. With the release of" Vulgar Novel "in Cannes, it is bound to receive a lot of attention." Laffern recalled.
"I'm afraid not," Adrian shook his head after thinking about it. "You know, the first thing they caught was that the fourth movie is different from the previous three. The fifth movie is still a cult type movie. So it is necessary to compare it with the fourth movie that has not revealed much news so far, so that the fourth is arrogantly declared a failure. If "Vulgar Novel" is popular, this situation may be more serious. It is difficult to cold process, so someone needs proper guidance, as we decided at the beginning, to use this matter to draw public appetite, to make them curious and prevent them from losing confidence.
