"There is no doubt that there will be differences. After all, the three novels of" The Lord of the Rings "have thousands of pages, and a movie only has a maximum of 180 minutes. I cannot show everything in detail. Of course, I try to Taking into account the requirements of book fans, those most classic passages have reservations. Although some plots are inconsistent with the original, they do not affect the overall perception. "Adrian accidentally talked to the reporter on the red carpet.
This is a must. As a director and a producer, you hardly follow the crew's propaganda when making a commercial blockbuster. It is always appropriate to brag about this reporter when going to the red carpet to participate in the premiere. ?
"You mean, do you think you have perfected your original work?" Someone asked, with a trap.
"I rarely use the word perfect. You know, it ’s not like the more gorgeous the rhetoric, the better, if every movie is perfect, then the word perfect is too cheap," said Adri An sly smile, "But I always do my best to complete, as we always advocate, the process is always more important than the result."
At this moment, a burst of cheers and screams came from the entrance of the red carpet, so much that the reporter here couldn't help turning his head to look, and Adrian did the same.
Three women with different styles appeared together in front of everyone's eyes, with long blond hair on the far right and a long beige dress, which looked very elegant. The middle point is a big golden wave, and her black tube top dress sets her temperament high. On the far left is long black straight hair, and a white sleeveless narrow skirt makes her cute and touching like a big girl. Originally a very beautiful woman, she appeared again at the moment, and it was no wonder that so many men were screaming. The most interesting point is from right to left. Blond blonde, blue eyes, blue eyes, black hair, all the way through, giving people a very strange feeling.
"Look who's here, Queen Kailantril, Princess Amon, and King Iowa." As the three of them nodded and greeted each other as they walked in, Adrien sneered loudly. Shouted.
Although Gwyneth's role will not appear in the first episode, the role of Iowa was already known when the movie was promoted. There was no problem in attending the movie premiere as the starring role. .
"Hi. Ed, I'm so glad to see you." Blanchett took the lead to step forward and smiled and Adrian embraced in front of the reporter, her figure recovered quite well.
Gwennis, who was next to her, raised her eyebrows imperceptibly, but did not let others see them, and immediately embraced Adrian like Blanchett. Liv didn't care what it was, and didn't care about it. She happily approached and hugged him.
The reporter pressed the shutter excitedly next to it, and the sound of clicking and clicking was continuous. In this case, as long as it was posted in the form of photos, it was enough to attract people's attention. They are all miracle girls. And both were nominated for the best actress in the 71st Academy Awards, and those two films were produced and directed by Adrian. They were also filmed in the UK at the same time. The relationship between them seems to be very good. They are often photographed shopping together or something. So many people privately speculate maliciously whether they often go to bed with Director Miracle together.
Next, Adrian made a more amazing move, he actually appeared in front of so many reporters. He stretched his arms around Gwennes and Blanchett's waist. Well, many directors will take reporters to take pictures of the heroine in their works, but the problem is that the scandal between the miracle director and the miracle girls is well known, but it is because his power has not caused a stir. In this case, they actually made such an intimate appearance in public, and they also had rumors with Blanchett and Gwyneth and Shuangfei, so it is not that they have nothing to do with each other. That is, he has no scruples at all.
Of course, everyone knows that the possibility of the former can basically be ignored, and Adrian's privately held Playboy title is not in vain. But what does that have to do with them? As entertainment journalists, isn't that what they want? The people around him pressed the shutter more frantically. And Blanchett and Gwyneth were still very close. Both women leaned back and raised their upper bodies. Although they didn't put their hands on Adrian's shoulders, they looked like they were resting on his hands. Very intimate and ambiguous. The flash flickered faster.
But that wasn't the limit. Soon, Blanchett left Adrian's arm and Liv next to it. After a click, Gwenness on the other side left again. Replaced by Blanchett. The reporters took a long breath, and it seemed that even Liv Taylor, the sweet and lovely girl, had not escaped Playboy's palm, and looking at the intimate appearance, it was even possible ...
The crowd started to stir, and Adrien laughed, waved his hands and took the three girls to the theater. The reporters who have been pressing the shutter remembered forgetting to ask questions, but when they wanted to make up, they had gone very far. Under the help of depression and regret, they had to pick up the camera and face another burst.
"It's really surprising that you are here together." Adrian said with a smile to the three girls around him after entering the lobby.
"Remember what I said, he likes it that way." Blanchett raised his chin to the other two, then hummed at Adrian.
"But it's fun." Gwennis answered with a smile.
"Yeah, right." Liv nodded in agreement, her eyes bent very happy.
"That being the case, why don't we continue to study the story between Sauron and Kyle Trill, Ioah, and Aya tonight?" Adrian raised an eyebrow.
The three beautiful girls gave him a dizzy eye, and then scattered away. Well, Gwennis walked away at night because--
"Are you coming next week?" She asked, looking into his eyes.
"Of course, how could I be absent." Adrian knew what she was thinking. "Don't worry, I won't tell your dad what makes him unhappy."
Old Paltrow has always disliked Adrian, especially since he and his wife are both in the entertainment industry and know more about certain things. shu. But the problem is that Gwyneth doesn't listen to his advice, and wants to stay with Adrian, if anyone else. In terms of his connections, he can give each other some color, but Adrian is not the big man he can offend, and Gwennis's achievements in recent years are almost the sum of his and his wife's past, so only This defaults.
Although the default is the default, every time I see Adrian I can't help but say a few uncomfortable words, just understand that his Adrian has always smiled to argue what is wrong. Gwennis also knows, but she still hopes that Adrian can get along well with her father, and next week "Beautiful Heart" will have a premiere, each daughter impacts the premiere of the Oscar movie, old Pat Luo will participate. So Gwenis must pray for Adrian's soft words, Adrian naturally appeased.
Not to mention this, the number of guests who participated in the premiere of "The Lord of the Rings" is no less than that of "X-Men". Peter Jackson and his friends, two brothers of Silver Phoenix, are responsible for the voice of Hans? Ji Mo and so on.
That's right, the soundtrack work for The Lord of the Rings has been handed over to Hans Zimmer, a well-known, but almost no Oscar-approved soundtrack master. As early as the production of "Fighting Forever Island", Adrian was the first to be strong, and did not give DreamWorks a chance to dig him up as Bosworth's music director. Later, he acquired Universal, and after the integration, he became the music director of Universal.
Although I have seen countless movies and listened to countless soundtracks in previous lives, whether it is John Williams, James Horner or Ennio Morricone, they all like it, but I do n’t know why Hans Zimmer is the most preferred. Probably because his soundtrack always spreads. So Adrian dug him out early and asked him to play the soundtrack for The Lord of the Rings, in order to make him a Oscar dream.
of course. For this reason, he spent a lot of energy on the discussion. The main points of the soundtrack of "The Lord of the Rings" are often debated with Ji Mo. The ethereal style of the original is really in place, so he hopes that Ji Mo also considers the soundtrack. this point. But Ji Mo has his own ideas. Although the soundtrack must meet the requirements of the director or producer, he has no inspiration from his heart. The soundtrack will only look very empty, so whenever Adrian goes to his studio to discuss the soundtrack, he can't stop without talking for a few hours.
"In the end, a lot of people complained to me, so I had to arrange every discussion after work." Ji Mo said he couldn't help sighing, and then everyone around him burst out laughing. Anyone who Adrian has worked with knows this is too normal. Adrian was always able to keep the debate within a certain range, so that the differences would never be time and space, and it was a pleasure to discuss the issue with him.
"Anyway, the soundtrack is beautiful and you are excellent. Hans." Adrian patted him on the shoulder with a smile.
Ji Mo is not a stubborn person who wants to stay close to Adrian's requirements while maintaining his own style. Adrian will often hum some good melody for his reference, so the final soundtrack is huge, Light and bloody, basically everything, is at least a bit better than the original. Ji Mo is indeed a master musician.
"Well, I'm waiting to hear tonight, what's so great about Hans's soundtrack, can it really surpass James." After only two people left, James Cameron said somewhat rather unevenly.
"Come on, Jim, James is indeed a great soundtrack artist, but I think Jimmo is more suitable for the Lord of the Rings." Adrian Haha laughed, and he would only use "Jim" when he renamed it. nickname.
Cameron is talking about James Horner, an old man he has worked with many times. Because the special effects of "The Lord of the Rings" are made in the digital field, Cameron has a keen eye for recommending James Horner to Adrian. Soundtrack, hoping that the old man can take it to the next level, but Adrian gave the job to Hans Zimmer.
"Don't worry about this, Jim, let's talk about your side, is the documentary ready?" Adrian changed the subject.
"Oh, don't be so anxious, Ed," Cameron waved his hand. "There are still some late stages, don't worry, they will definitely be completed before next Oscar."
"Really? Great, maybe I should talk to the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences to advance this year's Oscars to the end of February." Adrian raised an eyebrow.
"No problem, Ed." Cameron laughed. "As long as the film school really changes the date, I promise to finish it in advance."
"Okay," Adrian glanced at him, "then don't mention this for the time being, I have some thoughts about the digital realm."
Cameron put down a smile, made a gesture of please, very serious, he has always respected Adrian's right to speak in the digital field. Because in his opinion, Adrian saved the digital realm.
This special effects company was founded in 1993. Its founder, Scott Rose, was the former general manager of Industrial Light and Magic. Later, Cameron and his friend and co-partner Stan Winston joined in and became the original. Audio-Technica. However, with the continuous development of special effects companies, the scale has also begun to expand, and more and more funds are needed. So in 1996, Rose, who served as a manager, attracted investment from Lehman Brothers.
If nothing has changed, Lehman Brothers' capital injection will cause another investment company, the Kicks Group, to embarrass the digital field, thereby acquiring a 33% stake to control the special effects company. Let the Iron Triangle survive. Then Cameron and Winston will conflict with Ross under the leadership of the Texan Group because of the "Titanic", and eventually withdraw from the board of directors in the digital field, and the digital field will take another path in the scenery It slowly declined due to lack of workability.
Adrian still knew something about this. Although he didn't know exactly what happened, there are many channels in this life for him to investigate, so when Rosla invested in 1996. Although the media has just begun to take shape, and there are many places to spend money, it still took part of the funds to grab the 33% stake in front of the Group.
In this way, the media has an absolute right to speak, and his support for Cameron and Winston is even more watery. So though, after making Titanic. The role Ross still had conflicts with Cameron and Winston, and at one time it was so irritable that he even threatened with resignation. Later, Adrian helped to rectify their contradictions.
"Remember what I promised Scott?" Adrian said with a smile. "After intelligence analysis and specific inspections, I have decided to set up an overseas studio."
"Overseas studio?" Cameron narrowed his eyes.
"Yes, most of the special effects of" The Lord of the Rings "this time are responsible for the talents Peter Jackson brought from New Zealand. You also admit that the guy also has ideas for special effects in movies," Adrian smiled. The author said, "It's a lot cheaper, so setting up an overseas studio is very helpful."
After all. Ross's disagreement with Cameron and Winston lies in the huge cost of special effects for Titanic, as he must consider a more comprehensive situation. Adrian's promise to Rose was that he could solve the problem, but it only took a little time, so the contradiction between the three was subsided. Without the control of the Kekes Group behind, Audio-Technica's cooperation foundation is relatively solid. Although the quarrel was fierce this time, but did not hurt each other's feelings, so in the eyes of Cameron, Adrian saved the digital field .
"But ..." Cameron hesitated.
"Rest assured, I did a survey. Do you remember what I said to you when I was in New Zealand? I said that I plan to find Chinese people to make special effects, I am serious. We have cooperation with mainland China, and their CG special effects talents There are also a lot of people. Many people do n’t lose to American special effects artists. They have low cost and excellent abilities. Why not?

In the previous life, the special effects companies after 00 basically chose this path and set up a large number of cheap overseas studios. It is because of the slow reflection in this digital field, and they are worried that their technology will be learned. , And eventually went bankrupt in the name of the world ’s top special effects company. Adrian doesn't care if technology is learned. For movies, CG is always the icing on the cake. A good story is the most important thing. Chinese films in the past and American films have already fully proved this. If it weren't for some reason, he would have already started this step, but after 9/11, China and the United States entered the honeymoon period again, so he has now raised the trend.
Adrian originally invested in the digital field not only because he wanted to help Cameron. As the film developed, the increasingly cheaper CG special effects became more and more important. In the end, even the other in the window behind the street dialogue. People's activities are synthetic, especially that a large number of superhero movies are almost all piled up by CG ~ EbookFREE.me ~ so it is necessary to have a special effects company.
So the digital field has become the best choice. At least in the beginning of the 21st, their real power is strong, almost comparable to the industrial light and magic. As for the problem, Adrian can definitely avoid it, and then you can take this opportunity to further draw Cameron to let him develop the 3D camera in his heart, although 3D movies will not start until 7 or 8 years ago. Mainstream theater, but Adrian is used to preparing for the future.
"The production of CG has become cheaper and cheaper, but the labor cost is still high, so even if we don't, there are a lot of special effects studios. Why not start first?" Adrian continued.
"Well, I'll tell Scott. If you have time, you won't talk in detail." Cameron said after thinking for a moment.
"What's your opinion?" Adrian asked.
"It's my job to direct the film and produce special effects." Cameron shrugged, and Adrian laughed.
He is a clever man, he has said so much in detail, how can he not know how to choose? (To be continued ... Q
