Chapter 25: Start shooting again

"Shard of Memory", this is Adrian's new work. Following Guy Richie, he extended his black hand to Christopher Nolan, the most storytelling director in the 21st century!
This film produced by Nolan in 2000 burned the brain cells of many movie fans at that time. The whole story is actually not complicated and not too brilliant, but it turned into a lot of people under Nolan's editing. Aftertaste movie.
There are two clues in the film, one is flashback, told with color lens; one is flashed, told with black and white lens. The two shots will be exchanged every 5 minutes, and they will be fused together at the end, so that the beginning is the end and the beginning. Such a staggered expression of expression, plus each shot has a lot of details-for example, when Leonard tells an insurance client with the same transient amnesia, the lens in the wheelchair is a micro Fat middle-aged man, but the moment the nurse walked over the patient and the camera switched, the man in the wheelchair became Leonard himself!
Adrian didn't notice this when he first watched it. The camera switched too fast, and there were too many clues that made him too late to analyze. Finally, he noticed it after watching it two or three times. Very impressed.
In short, people are amazed by this, although the complex clues made the film only gain about 40 million box office-the cost of 5 million is still a big profit-but it has won a very high reputation, Nolan also So it established itself in Hollywood. Adrian has heard such an evaluation in previous lives. If Spielberg was the most storytelling director at the end of the 20th century, then the most storytelling director at the beginning of the 21st century is undoubtedly Nolan! As said before, the story itself is important, but the way the story is told is also important.
So Adrian did not hesitate to choose this film as his second work. As for Nolan, I can only say that I am sorry. Making this decision didn't make him feel uneasy or anything else, as he said when he first wrote the script, he didn't care about going through too many things. Adrian knows very well that if 99% of the people in the world are facing the situation they are in now-there is a movie library in their head, they have a certain shooting and production skills, they know many things in the future, and they have startup funding- — Will make the same choices as themselves.
Soon, Halloween in 1990 was over, and the two big smoke guns, which have attracted much attention in the movie market, went offline, and with them a box office in the early 40s. Three days later, the British side was also offline. The box office almost set a record at the British box office at around 30 million pounds. Coupled with several other European countries just released, the global box office may be close to 100 million!
This is the early 1990s. The US dollar is far more valuable than it was 20 years later. Although Hollywood has many small-cost and high-grossing films, returns like this are rare compared to those that reach 1:90. This was a result that surprised many people, and even Adrian was surprised at the beginning. Since he chose this film as his debut, he naturally remembers the relevant information very clearly. This film has almost two box offices in the UK. There are tens of millions of box office and only a few million in the United States. The North American box office has almost doubled by more than 100 times, which is really incredible.
After thinking about it, he was relieved. The United States has a very interesting feature. Most non-North American films do not have a high box office here. Americans do n’t seem to be interested in movies from other countries. This is not surprising. As early as the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the North American movie market was dominated by European movies, and people went after French and Italian movies. In the end, the US government had to issue a decree prohibiting European cinemas from playing in theaters and then vigorously supporting local movies, which led to the rise of Hollywood. Over the past 100 years, with the continuous increase of national power and the development of the Hollywood film industry, Americans naturally began to take pride in themselves, so they did not look at movies in other countries.
This is Adrian's biggest advantage over Guy Ricci. He is an American. He has his own film company. He also has a very good general manager, not to mention he also participated in the Venice Film Festival and won the most. Best debut award. It's also important to note that it's 1990! This kind of multi-line narrative but not complicated film is more attractive to the public than it was nine years later, not to mention this is a good story, and it does n’t exist because of different time or circumstances . All these factors combined, it is normal to get such a high box office.
Counting it out, apart from all the costs—costs, distribution fees, theater sharing and tax payment, etc., Adrian was able to get at least $ 20 million, which doubled his personal property directly. No wonder Crowder Would say this is a huge profit. Because of this, after the Venice Film Festival, Adrian, who had faded out of the attention of film company executives, returned to their eyes again. People in the circle were also full of interest in this young director. Will occasionally be mentioned.
I just didn't find a chance to contact Adrian for a while, because he took the team to a small town on the outskirts of Los Angeles to start shooting a new movie before the "Two Big Smoke Guns" went offline.
"I need you to have a sense of forbearance, understand, Dan?" At the door of the town motel, Adrian explained to Dennis what he was going to shoot. "You think you already know who killed your wife. The murderer, you just want to kill him now. Of course, when he stops you, you still have to keep calm and a touch of friendliness, even better if you can see a hint of haze in your eyes when you look at him. "
After speaking, he turned his head to look at the short man next to him: "Joe, as for you, I need you to carry a bit of anxiety. You have noticed that something is wrong, but you cannot be sure how bad it will be. Now that I expect to continue to coax Leonard as before. "
"Simply put, the character's current state is hesitant and fortunate, is that so?" Joe Pantoriano, holding his chin, replied after thinking about it.
是 "That's it," Adrian nodded. "If it's okay, let's start-oh, right, Bowen?"
The photographer came quickly: "I'm here, Mr. Director."
"Wait a minute, I want you to go from here ..." Adrian explained to the photographer with a box in his hand, "... and then pulled out the full-length portraits of the two, understand?"
摄影师 After the photographer nodded, he clapped his hands and looked around: "Everyone pay attention and act. In addition, gentlemen and ladies watching, please give us some space?"
The people watching around the gate of the motel laughed loudly, and then spread out in twos and threes.
"Memory Fragment", Scene 24, Act 112. With the voice of the record, the camera started to run.

"Have I mentioned my illness to you ..." Leonard gestured to the administrator behind the window.
"Stop every day." The administrator shrugged and looked at him with a funny expression.
Obviously, Leonard had already been used to this situation, and brought a photo directly to him: "Is this man here?"
刚刚 "Just arrived." The administrator looked at his hand and said, as if in response to his words, a warm voice came from the door: "Hey, Lenny."
Leonard turned his head, and a short man with glasses half-opened the glass door and smiled at him.
"It's Rainer," Leonard corrected blankly, and he walked quickly: "I think I should have mentioned my illness."
"I will mention it every time." The short man was still smiling.

"Cut!" Adrien shouted, standing behind the camera and watching the set.
"Dan, your expression is still lacking," he said loudly as he watched Dennis, "Leonard is not simply without expression, he just hides his emotions below and comes back!"
Then he stopped again within three minutes: "Cut! Yin Ren! Where did your Yin Ren go? Come again!"
C "Cut! Hidden enough, but the haze in my eyes is gone, too straightforward, come back!"
"Cut! Do you doubt, you understand? You have doubts about the things around you because of the memory problem, come back!"
"Cut! Come again!"
"Cut!"
Just started ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Adrian will try to explain to Dennis, but after NG several times, he didn't do it again, just repeatedly shouting "Action!" And "Cut". In the end, even Joe, who was the supporting actress, felt that it was a little too far, but Dennis kept calm, and there was no extra expression except for shooting again and again.
Finally, after the 76th consecutive NG, Adrian finally announced that he passed, but before the crowd was relieved, he immediately took the camera from Bowen: "Let's do it again, this time I personally take the camera."
This decision almost didn't let everyone down, but watching Dennis and Joe as the supporting actors quickly returned to their positions, the staff had to fight hard to continue working.
Fortunately, because Dennis has maintained the status of success just now, this shot didn't take much effort, and it passed once, and from the corner of Adriano's smiling mouth, the effect was good this time.
"Now rest for 30 minutes." The beautiful words finally sounded, almost at the same time, a long outburst voice sounded at the scene, and even Dennis, who had remained calm, appeared tired after sitting down. After all, anyone who can shoot a single lens over and over again and again for nearly a hundred times can't stand it.
怎么 "Why is Eddie much more severe today than it was a few days ago? Is that the same as your previous movie?" Joe Pantoriano then went to Dennis with a plastic water bottle. After he promised to play, he did a little investigation on Adrian. After joining the crew, he also had a good relationship with everyone. As an actor who has been in the entertainment industry for 10 years and has played many supporting roles, although he also has some Tired but much better than Dennis.
