Chapter 239: Brawl over Adaptation

"The Benilang Restaurant is the third part of the Opera House. Their Queensland drunk crab is the best in New South Wales. It's not much worse than Queensland. This sounds interesting, doesn't it? Anyway, look It ’s the choice of many tourists to come here to taste Australian cuisine after an opera or a piece of music.
Sitting in front of floor-to-ceiling windows and watching the undulating seascape outside, Adrian tapped coffee and listened to the cloth Commentary by Lanchet.
Today Blanchett has a pony tail and a grey long-sleeved jacket. He is still jeans and boots, but the boots are flat. This makes her look capable, but because she is young, she looks very energetic.
"In appearance, the Sydney Opera House is like a big ship with open sails, so some people say that Jon Ursson got his inspiration from the ship. But some people say he got his inspiration from the shells. The towering husk doesn't look like a sail anyway. Unfortunately, they all guessed wrong, because Jon Ursonne acknowledged that the inspiration was obtained from the half-peeled orange. "Blanchett said The corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and she had to admit that she was charming when she laughed.
"Thank you for the commentary, Kate," Adrian said, holding up the coffee cup in his hand. "Inviting you to be a tour guide is indeed the right thing, otherwise I will definitely miss something."
"I don't really like Sydney," Blanchett said suddenly. "The best I know is the Opera House, so if you ask me to take you to other places, I will definitely be disappointed."
"Why?" Adrian was surprised.
"I was born in Melbourne. I like the beautiful forests there. Compared with Sydney's bad green facilities, Melbourne is simply paradise. Of course, more of it is instinctual dislike, like some Sydney Residents instinctively don't like Melbourne, it's a normal regional concept, aren't they? "Blanchett smiled slyly, and for a while made it difficult for Adrian to tell whether it was true or false.
"Okay, Kate, can you answer me now?" After sipping the coffee, he set out the subject of last night again.
"To be honest, of the four big comedies of Shakespeare, I prefer" A Midsummer Night's Dream ", which has a romantic fantasy, and" Twelfth Night "I saw in the theater just now is a bit too realistic." Blanche Teddy said indifferently, she lowered her head to sip the coffee, and her eyes floated slightly.
"Kate" Adrian called her name more heavily. "I'll be back in Los Angeles in a few hours."
Blanchett's eyelids were drooping, his hands were crossed, and he kept flicking his fingers. It seemed contradictory. Adrian leaned forward slightly, watching her motionlessly with a gaze.
"Do you like to stare at others like this, Ed?" The girl finally couldn't help but say a word, with a little annoyance in her tone, "That was yesterday, and now it is again."
"Oh, if this bothers you, I apologize," Adrian said with a smile and spread his hand. "In fact, many people have already said this to me, always staring at others. But, Please understand that a director can easily see the excitement and excitement when an actor suitable for a role appears. Please don't question my vision and judgment. Some actors are so special. At first glance, you will know the other person. It's the person you want. I believe you know me a little bit now, and I have never failed in it, so I really hope you can ... at least take the audition, okay? "
Blanchett's face fluttered with a blush, and he sighed for a long while before sighing, "Do you know, Ed, just yesterday, I swear to myself: Kate, you have to be the best Stage actor. But at night, someone said to me: I have a suitable role, I hope you can audition or even star. This person is also known as the miracle director of Hollywood, oh god, this is only in movies What happened suddenly came to me, and it was dizzying and baffling ... I need time to think, Ed, I need time to think about what I need ... "
With a sigh, the two became silent. Blanchett lowered his head to stir the coffee, while Adrian placed his hands on the small table, staring out at the sea view.
"Well, I know," Adrian finally said, and he looked directly into Blanchett's eyes. "Whether you refuse or promise, please give me a call. Also, if you refuse If so, then I will archive the script and stop filming. "
"What do you say ... say?" Blanchett looked shocked. "No longer filming?"
"Yes, rather than just find an actor, let's just leave it in the locker." Adrian shrugged, then he took her hand: "Please don't think this is what I'm giving You pressure, Kate, I just do n’t want to make a movie that is not so perfect, although this is not my director, although this is only a commercial movie, but ... please forgive my attachment to this, please do n’t take it to heart . "
Seeing Adrian's bitter smile, Blanchett couldn't help clinging to his hand. After a long time, a smile appeared on her face again: "I promise I will seriously consider it, Ed."
"That's great," Adrian said with relief. "Okay, let's talk about a lighter topic, or some other attraction before I leave Sydney?"
Although Blanchett did not give him an accurate answer, Adrian believes that she will come to Hollywood sooner or later. Stage plays are not the best career for actors, and the Australian film industry is basically negligible, so Australian actors either go to the United Kingdom or Hollywood to develop. Obviously, it is better to gain a foothold in Hollywood.
She would hesitate just because she was young and didn't realize the importance of the opportunity to the actor, or she realized but had other considerations, after all, the two of them had only known each other for less than a day. It doesn't matter, Adrian can wait. If Blanchett really refuses the invitation, he won't break his word, and the script in hand will be sealed. Although this script was not made by him, although this movie is also a box office film, what about it? It's all about money.
Which career and woman are important? The answer is that women are more important without a big impact on their careers. Don't forget what kind of desires and ambitions Adrian had at the beginning. When these dazzling on the screen, women with different styles are picked up by him and owned by him, the collection of pleasure is unparalleled.
Adrian always knew what he wanted from beginning to end, and he also knew how to achieve it from beginning to end. He had been in control. Some women just have fun, but some women deserve to be kept around. Cate Blanchett naturally belongs to the latter. She may not be a first-class beautiful woman, but the cold and concealed pride temperament is quite flavorful, even if the temperament is still very green now, it is absolutely wonderful to conquer and adjust such a woman.
Speaking of the name Kate, he would inevitably think of another woman, although the spelling is different, but the pronunciation is very similar. According to the information available, the harvest season is coming soon.
Adrian returned to Los Angeles in only three and a half days in Sydney. It wasn't that he didn't want to stay longer. After all, this was his "first time" to come to Australia, not to mention a temperamental beauty like Blanchett. Companionship—If he asked her out, she wouldn't refuse.
It ’s just that there are still many things to deal with in Los Angeles, such as the last little post-work of "This Killer Is Not Too Cold", such as discussing the promotion of "Piano Lessons" with Lavern, or with Winston Glum. quarrel.
"Do you know what this means, Ed? The image of Gan is the same as being completely subverted and there is no need for existence," an old, old man shouted angrily in Adrian's office, The waving arm and the expression of eyebrows staring at each other clearly told the other party that they would never give up without a proper explanation.
"I think I made it clear from the beginning, Winston," said Adrian behind his desk, frowning at him, "I'm going to adapt this novel into a motivational film, not a metaphor A political movie. He agreed at the time, so why now say the whole story is unnecessary? "
"Yes, of course I promised, but I also emphasized that ~ EbookFREE.me ~ can't change the character of Gan too much" Although Glum didn't calm down because of his words for a few seconds, he did not calm down, but instead More excited.
"Look at it, Ed, look at it." He flipped through the script he wrote. "In my novel, Gan is both a genius and an idiot. He can be an astronaut or a garbage incinerator. But you changed him into a kind of mentally handicapped. I have no objection that you only take the content of the previous eleven chapters for shooting. After all, it is impossible to tell all of the content in the book in two or three hours, but you completely change. How do I accept the character? "
"Well, Winston, calm down first, drink some saliva, and then we say slowly," Adrian pinched the bridge of his nose somewhat helplessly. "Quarrels don't solve the problem."
This kind of quarrel has been several times before, and it hasn't been broken since we started to adapt the novel. It was just on the phone that Adrian wanted to keep the quarrel on the phone, but Glum, the old man, ran over from Alabama, so now he is arguing in the office. .
Adrian didn't want to be tougher, but the old man of Grum is both stubborn and strong, and soft or hard. If it is really tough, he will definitely tear his face. Although he had been prepared for such a thing long ago, he should not take the initiative to do so only as a last resort. ()
