Chapter 36: meet

"You mean ... I have to be ugly to show acting?" Kate stared at Adrian as if he didn't understand what he was talking about, and they were sitting in a family near the Brandenburg Gate at this time. Afternoon tea in the cafe.
因为 "Because you are beautiful, Kate, sometimes people are more likely to notice your looks than your acting skills, they will say, you are a vase." Adrian spread his hands.
那么 "What about you? Do you think so?" Kate asked biting her lips, unhappy.
当然 "Of course not," Adrian laughed. "However, people generally think that this has become their consensus. It is very unfair, but you have to accept it."
所以 "So you arranged for me now?" Kate sighed.
"Yeah," Adrian looked at her closely. "Of course, if you don't like it, I will pay attention to other characters. The key is, what do you want, Kate, to gain people's approval by hone acting? Still enjoying the joy of acting? Even if you go to the California Academy of Arts for systematic study, you still want to go your own way. Being an actor or developing in the future. "
Kate pondered her head for a long time, and finally shrugged: "Okay, I see. Anyway, wait until I apply to the California Academy of the Arts after graduating this year."
德里 Adrian couldn't help laughing out loud, and then waved in Kate's stare: "Then let's talk about it later. It's a rare weather today. We might as well stroll around Berlin."
As was said last year in Venice, all film festivals are considered festivals in some way, and the Berlin Film Festival is no exception. Since it's a festival, you can definitely play around. Just like in Venice, Adrian took Kate for five days and took a trip around Berlin. Alexander Place, Linden Street and other places that tourists must go. I didn't miss it, I even went to East Berlin on purpose, and walked around the unfinished Berlin Wall. Apart from the cold weather in Germany in February, the clothes had to be thick, and everything about the Persian Gulf was seen on TV from time to time, everything was fine.
As for the movie, all of it was thrown to La Verne. This time participating in the name of the film company, so Adrian is more relaxed than when in Venice, as a boss has this benefit.
As one of the 11 major A-level film festivals assessed by the International Film Producers Association, this is also the first time since the reunification of Germany. Although the Berlin Film Festival has a strong political atmosphere, it still attracts many filmmakers from all over the world. Come and join. Even though most people haven't heard of Adrian, there are always a few people who know it.
"It's ... how to say ... it's terrifying, and it's excellent, I never thought her acting would be like this ... God, that's Lakris!" And Adrian came out from the theater holding hands Kate was talking about something, and suddenly she couldn't help screaming when she saw a woman surrounded by a group of reporters on the street.
"You should call her Ms. Judy Foster." Adrian shook his head, "Don't you make such a fuss?"
Alas, just after he finished, Kate clenched his arm again and pointed at the other person around him: "Oh my God, Professor Hannibal!"
Finally, she heard Adrian's words, making her voice much lower.
"Do you need to sign it?" Adrian joked.
嗯 "Hmm ... no need." Kate finally came back to her, and smiled a little embarrassed, "I'm sorry, Ed. After all, I just watched the movie after all, it was so wonderful, it was inevitable ..."
"I know, it's okay. This is indeed a wonderful work. I dare say that this will be one of the best works in the United States this year. Maybe I can get the best Oscar movie." Adrian did nothing. Gestures, and then he laughed at what he thought: "However, Director Demi may be criticized by some feminists."
"Why?" Kate asked curiously, while another voice sounded: "Why?"
德里 Adrian turned his head, and a middle-aged male with a beard and slender eyes was standing obliquely behind, looking at himself with curiosity.
"Excuse me, are you?" Adrian thought the other party was familiar, but for a while he couldn't remember who it was.
"Jonathan Demi." The other smiled and said his name.
Adrian raised an eyebrow: "It was Director Demi, I'm so sorry, I hope you don't think I'm targeting you."
"It's okay," the other person smiled and waved, "You can call me Jonathan, I just want to know why you made this conclusion-right, are you?"
"Adrian Cowell." Adrian introduced, "This is my girlfriend, Kate Beckinsale."
"Adrian Cowell? That ghost director ?!" Jonathan looked surprised, as if disbelieving.
"It seems to have this title ... By the way, which newspaper is here?" Adrian Mo looked at Kate with his chin.
Kate holding Kate more intimately because of the phrase "my girlfriend" just now: "The Los Angeles Times!"
Although on the day of the screening of "Memory Fragments" at the film festival, Adrian was asked around all the reporters who were tabloids, and these newspapers focused on speculation on the plot and The answers from Dennis and others are exaggerated interpretations they need, but it does not mean that no other well-known film critics watch that day.
"This is not an ordinary work. There are a lot of films that use flashback as a method, but there are not many works that can be thoughtful but thought-provoking like Fragment of Memory. If you think this film and Adrian Like the one a month ago, it was full of endless humorous words and black humorous words. It was very wrong. Although there are many `` in Fragment of Memory '', believe me, and the two shots Tobacco Gun is far from enough.
Well, just kidding, let ’s talk about Adrian's new movie. In summary, the actor of the story suffers from rare amnesia, and can only remember what happened within a few minutes, so that in the process of running, I don't know whether to chase people or be chased. For him, life is fragmented, but in this fragmentation he always thinks of revenge for his dead wife.
Sounds like a very old story, but Adrian told the story in his own way. There are two lines in total, a color flashback and a black and white flashback, and they are performed simultaneously. At the beginning you may feel a little confused and a little confused, but when the story continues, you will be attracted unconsciously. Please forgive me for not revealing more plots. I can only say that it would be very mediocre if the story was told in a straightforward way, but it was different immediately after being edited by Adrian in a special way. Now, especially the announcement of the ending will surprise many people.
This is a very complex work that requires constant thinking. If you want to experience a storm of thinking, wait until the movie is released. Although I haven't met director Adrian Cowell, his ability to produce two similar but differently focused works in a short time can be called a ghost. "
This is a review of the famous American film critic Ronnie Gross, published on the second edition of the Los Angeles Times entertainment edition two days after the release of "Memory Fragments"-although the Los Angeles Times and the Los Angeles Evening News have only a little The difference is that the former is one of the three major American newspapers, but it is not comparable to the Los Angeles Evening News.
As early as last year after the release of "Two Big Smoke Guns", Gross praised it as a good story, and as a result became interested in Adrian. So this time I went to Berlin to attend the film festival and attended the premiere of "Memory Fragments".
格 After Gross's film reviews were published, journalists and film critics in other countries also expressed their opinions. Although there are always a few bad reviews, they have more praise. The ingenious editing hand of "Memory Fragment" is not only eye-opening, but the content of UU Reading Book www.uukanshu.com also has a certain depth, which is naturally liked by film critics.
Now Adrian is no longer a newcomer director a few months ago, and those published reviews are naturally not in the corner of the final edition like Venice, so they have attracted more attention. Jonathan Demi Just one of them.
"I happened to go to the Roser Theater yesterday to see your" Memory Fragments ". It is very subtle, and is completely called a ghost." Jonathan Demi showed a serious expression.
"You have won a prize, Director Demi. Your" Silent Lamb "is much better than mine. Not only do you fully grasp the context of the novel, but also add many details that the novel cannot express, plus Hopkin Mr. Steve and Ms. Foster's superb acting skills, I believe it is definitely one of the most powerful competitors of the best Oscar film this year! "Adrian complimented.
Jonathan smiled happily, and could not help feeling more about Adrian.
叫 "Call me Jonathan, Adrian," Jonathan reached out and shook him, "I'm glad to meet you."
"Me too, Jonathan." Adrian nodded with a smile.
"Just now you said that this film might be attacked by feminists, can I know why?" Jonathan said, looking at the noisy crowd around him, then changed the topic: "Let's change places, Adrian, we The crew had a little party at the Hotel Concord. I wonder if you would like to participate with Miss Kate? "
德里 Adrian glanced at Kate next to him, and then looked at Anthony Hopkins, Judy Foster, and others who had been far away from journalists and fans.
"I'm happy," he said to Jonathan.
