Vol 2 Chapter 21: Back to washington

The neatly dressed waiters walked back and forth in the lobby, in response to the guests' greetings, the smiles that always hung on their faces, and the polite manners, all interpreted the elegance of this restaurant. Although the crystal chandelier is hung on the ceiling, the light is not so strong, which makes the restaurant more atmospheric. The band above the dance floor often plays some soothing old songs, and the singers sing from time to time, which is very emotional.
At a dining table on the east side against the wall, the men and women sitting face to face are talking briskly, with real laughter from time to time. The woman curled her hair, combed her thick bangs in front, wore a white dress with a high V-neckline, and her white neck was exposed outside. She seemed extremely elegant in the delicate beauty, and her delicate face seemed to be made of ceramics. The man in a formal suit, quite handsome, always has a gentle smile on his face, but there is a hint of unrulyness in the gentleness, and his voice is low and magnetic, which is also quite charming.
Some veteran waiters know the elegant and charming woman. In fact, every French man should know that Sophie Marceau does n’t know the man sitting opposite her, but it ’s nice to see them talking. It looks like it should be a close friend, maybe even ... Of course, this kind of thought will go out in the head of the waiter. As Paris ’s most famous Alain Ducasse restaurant, they are all rigorously trained, Knowing what to remember, what to forget, what to say and what not to say, this is why celebrities in Paris like to come here for dinner.
"Well, I admit that this is fun, should you be satisfied now?" Sophie said in a helpless tone.
"It sounds like a warning, whether you are satisfied or not, you have to be satisfied." Adrian said with a smile, then took a glass of water and took a big sip. "So I am satisfied now."
"So how do you think I should speak? I have admitted that it is very interesting, or ..." Su Fei's eyes bent suddenly. The helplessness before was obviously intentional, but she didn't finish the sentence, she said. It seemed that something had come to mind. For a while, I couldn't say anything, and the smile became a little stiff.
"Or what?" Adrian asked calmly.
"It's nothing, I just suddenly thought that it would not be easy to book a seat at Ducasse, at least one day in advance," Sophie smiled, and it was more natural to change the subject. "So ... you are early It's premeditated, right? "
"Of course," Adrian acknowledged this lightly. "I said that if I sat in front of you and never invited you, I would definitely regret it for a long time. Now it seems that the goddess of luck still cares for me."
"What if I refused?" Sophie said with interest.
"Then get rid of it." Adrian was slightly surprised, and didn't seem to understand how she asked such questions.
Sophie then looked stunned, then shook her head with a smile, loneliness across her face.
"You don't seem to be happy. Any thoughts?" Adrian asked again.
"Obviously?" Sophie did not deny.
"No, you can't see it without careful observation." Adrian shrugged, Sophie smiled and said nothing.
"I don't want to say anything to be happy. There are many wonderful things in life. I believe many people have told you so, but I hope you will like this next thing." He said immediately.
"What is it?" Sufi's curiosity was immediately hooked by him, Adrian smiled and didn't speak, just made a gesture to call the waiter to whisper a few words, and then stood up: "Sorry, lose company."
He stepped up to the band above the dance floor, and the pianist stood up to let go. Adrian walked forward and knocked on the microphone. The sudden sound suddenly attracted most of the guests.
"I want to give the next song to my friends, and I hope she will always be happy, just like the original." Adrian said with a smile, after owing to everyone, he sat in front of the piano Down, raised his hands and pressed the keys.
The soft music like water rang, and Sophie sitting in the seat covered her mouth for the first time. This melody was so familiar, how could she not hear it.
"Ze, rever ..." Adrian began to sing, maybe not as smart as Richard Sanderson, not as skillful as a professional singer, but with a magnetic voice, this song has a different kind The taste, coupled with the piano accompaniment, had a sense of incomprehensibility. "Ty", which is the name of the song, is also the theme song of Sophie's debut "First Kiss".
Although it has been more than ten years, this song is still so beautiful. Sophie watched Adrian who was singing intently and listened to the song.
The car stopped outside the apartment. Neither of them in the car spoke and they just sat in their seats. That's what they did when they came out of the restaurant, maintaining a subtle atmosphere with each other.
"I don't know if you can still play the piano, you can play it so well, and you can sing well." Sophie finally opened her mouth, looking at the outside of the party style glass, with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth. .
"Thank you, to be honest, at the beginning I was always worried that everyone would boo me off." Adrian half-jokingly said that after the song was over, the applause in the restaurant was almost fast Drowned him.
"It really made me sound like when I first released the record, the first single got a good response, but after the release of the album, it was very bleak." Sophie, talking about the past, smiled with a calm and a Pretty and more charming.
She then turned around and opened the door. "Thank you for bringing me back, Ed."
"You're welcome. Sending the ladies home is something every man should do." Adrian also stepped down from the other side and sent Sophie to the front of the apartment.
"That's it, this is a wonderful night," said Sophie, who was standing by the door, but her hands were constantly flicking the keychain, and the clash of metal collisions was endless, but not special Obviously.
Adrian looked at her without talking, but his body suddenly leaned forward slightly. Of course Sophie understood what he meant, but only looked at him with bright eyes and did not mean to avoid it. Then, holding her beautiful face, he leaned over her ruddy lips and touched it lightly, and did nothing, leaving immediately.
"You're right, Sophie, this is a wonderful night, and I will always remember this night." Adrian looked at her with a smile and said, then pushed away a few gentlemen owed: "Good night, be good dream."
After speaking, he got in the car without looking back, and Sophie kept watching the car disappearing on the street before turning her body to cover some hot faces, sighing, and touching her lips seemed to feel aftertaste. After that, she opened the door and entered the apartment.
Adrian, who has already left, also touched his lips. Although he only touched them, the soft touch made him nostalgic. If he did n’t have enough self-control, he might have caught Sophie and kissed him. .
Adrian believes that if he insists, it is not difficult to enter Sophie's room tonight, and French women are much more romantic and sensual. But if this is really done, then they will reach the point where they might push her back to Poland, which is not the result he wants to see.
Stuff, if you want Adrian to use Sophie Marceau's words, the first thing that pops out of his head is definitely this word. In the previous life, Sophie, who was already in her forties, still had a charm, not to mention the golden age of women. Sexy, mature, elegant, with a bit of mystery, plus a little bit of purity, how can it not attract the eyes of men, but for Adrian old water, it is obviously better than one night stand.
It's not that difficult-at least for Adrian-as he said earlier, what the media see is just what they want you to see, what's behind the camera Look, what happened, outsiders will never know. Do you still have paparazzi? Don't kid me, paparazzi can follow the celebrities 24 hours a day, but maybe this is true every day 365? And they say that they like to exaggerate, at best, just gossip, if you want to distinguish some information from it, it is difficult.
Adrian's temptation is the best proof. Everything he found in the afternoon and evening was planned by him. He considered every step and even reorganized "ty" even in the United States. For a more appropriate piano performance. Although no matter how good the plan is, there are unexpected things happening, but fortunately, everything is going well today, and tonight he left a deep impression on Sophie.
Although the time is only half a day and half a night, Adrian has touched Sophie's heart to some extent. As he combined with the data, he is now the best opportunity to intervene. Some things do n’t exist because of different people. At best, it ’s just a question of how much they are, especially women in the entertainment industry. They do n’t represent them in the movie screen. As long as there is desire, there will be weaknesses. Can be used.
Monica, Julia, they will stay beside Adrian, not just because of feelings. Of course, there are definitely feelings. After all, Adrian is very gentle and considerate to every woman, and will coax and understand their minds, how could there be no feelings. But this is not an absolute factor. In addition to feelings, he can give them a lot of things, in short, it is benefits.
To put it bluntly, it is that Adrian has opened a good but unequal contract for them-an equal contract must be based on equal strength. Now it is their request for him. Expect this? In short, they signed this contract. Although there was nothing written, they had to abide by it.
Of course, this is just an analysis from the perspective of interests, and some things cannot be said on the surface, but they can only be explained by words. Besides, man is a very complicated creature. Every woman around him is different in details, and these details sometimes affect the overall situation. For example, for Kate, Charlize, and Sarah, emotion is more important than importance.
So, under what circumstances will Sophie Marceau, a beautiful woman, fall into her hands? Thinking about it makes people look forward to it. Although Adrian thought so, he left it temporarily behind his back when he returned to the hotel. When you come to Japan, you don't need to rush. At this time, "Brave Heart" will start filming a few months later.
Such a film depicting medieval Europe, as well as grand war scenes, is quite long in preparation. It will take a long time to produce clothing and other items, not to mention that most of the shots were shot in Britain. Rental studios also need to set up no scenery under the guidance of experts. These details can't go wrong, although not 100%, but at least not like some films in Adrian's memory, making costume films does not even know what age to wear.
Of course, this is not a big deal, anyway, the male and female protagonists have been determined. Originally, he wanted to invite Kevin Costner, and even wanted to give him the guide tube at the beginning, but this guy is busy working for his future Water World, which is destined to lose money, so In the end, it's fine. Adrian therefore decided to direct himself. As for the actor, he quickly found a suitable candidate.
It is enough for the professional to do these tasks. He only needs to look at the report once in a while, and then give his opinions. Now he has to finish the movie he is working on and talk about it. Therefore, Adrian left Paris by private jet the next day, and then flew directly to Washington. After a slight jet lag, he arrived in the crew of "Forrest Gump" on June 9.
There are only locations outside of Washington in this movie, anti-war demonstration games, the reunion of A-Gump and Jenny, and Lieutenant Dan met after granting honors, etc., almost dozens of shots. It is precisely because of this that he went to London with confidence, and then returned from Prague and Paris in such a circle. It took about ten days for Rao to do so.
"I've never met a director like you. It's ridiculous to leave an unfinished movie and go on vacation in Europe alone." Tom Hanks complained, of course, this is basically a joke .
Adrian was also clear, so he joked back to ask: "Well, I apologize, then Tommy, how do you think I should compensate you? How about a week off?"
After speaking, they both laughed.
"Everyone pays attention, ready to start shooting" Although it took only half a day to adjust, when Adrian picked up the microphone speaker and started shouting to the crowd, the state immediately returned to him.
About 1,500 extras, under his command, were dressed in 1960s and 1970s clothes, crowded on both sides of the introspection pool and in front of the podium. A crowd of black people, looking a bit shocking in the eyes, attracted many tourists, but fortunately there were police around to help maintain order.
Only more than 1,000 people have such a momentum, and it will increase by about ten times during post-production. I can imagine how huge the anti-war demonstration game of the year was. But this does not mean that A-Gump will have to make a firm opinion on the Vietnam War in the movie, although there are some lines in this speech in the script: Sometimes, when going to Vietnam, some people will lose his legs, and some people will not be able to return home. That's bad, that's what I want to say.
But in the movie, there will be a policeman out there to disrupt it, unplug the microphone, and people around will only hear the opening phrase "Sometimes go to Vietnam". When the person in charge of the demonstration ran away the police and reconnected the microphone, the people around him would only hear the last sentence, "This is what I want to say."
Very clever arrangement, isn't it? Even after entering the 21st century, not everyone in the mainstream society believes that the Vietnam War was a terrible one. It is necessary to cleverly favor both sides. Besides, A-Gump was an active soldier at the time, even if he knew he was a fool, even if he didn't know what the demonstration was, it was not appropriate to give an anti-war speech in front of the public. This arrangement also avoided to a certain extent May be in trouble.
This kind of plot that can benefit both sides abounds throughout the movie, and it is very delicate. No wonder some people would say that this is a typical movie that promotes American values.
Well, come back to the shooting scene. In this way, the plot may be a bit cold. The protesters were full of wanting to hear some words that strongly criticized the government, but in the end they heard nothing. He also felt that he was right, and helped to adjust the atmosphere, but people's disappointment was still inevitable.
So it was time for Jenny to come out, jump into the introspection pool, run all the way to the podium, and then the excited A-Gump also jumped off the podium and rushed into the pool. So romantic and so meaningful--the young soldier who came back from the Vietnam battlefield met his anti-war girlfriend--and immediately attracted warm applause from the demonstrators ~ EbookFREE.me ~ During the filming, not only temporarily The actors are applauding, and some tourists who sneak in are applauding. No way, the space from Washington Monument to the Introspection Pool is too wide. Even if staff and police maintain order, they can't keep everyone out. Fortunately, they have not caused any trouble.
Although this lens is very popular, it took almost two days to complete it. It is not right here or it is not good, and it has to be shot from various angles, which caused the two actors to suffer a little bit.
"Fortunately, at least it's done, Charlie. How much is next?" Adrian asked the girl next to him after looking at the monitor.
"Meeting with Lieutenant Dan." Charlize quickly gave the answer.
"Can you call mine over for me?" Just after that, Adrian smiled at her with some thought. "Forget it, I'm fine now, you need to rest."
Charlize glared at him fiercely, but still restrained his emotions, sitting in a depressed position without moving.
