Vol 3 Chapter 118: Want to knock it down?

> Chapter 118 is going to be knocked down?
In the history of Hollywood, the 1930s to the 1940s were the golden age of song and dance films. Immediately improved shooting techniques, coupled with the luxurious setting and production at that time, showed the song and dance in the film. It's completely different from what is shown on Broadway. This kind of song and dance film pays more attention to the combination of content and form, and its artistic achievements are very high. Therefore, although it is still black and white, it still swept the United States.
In the 1950s and 1960s, with the expansion of color movies, song and dance films began to become very epic, reaching the pinnacle of a genre in Hollywood, and many famous and even famous for this type of film emerged. An actor who won an Oscar for best actress, such as Julie? Andrews.
"It was a beautiful time. I can sing and dance in the camera. The feeling of freedom cannot be experienced now," Andrews said with emotion, and then added a sentence, "Of course, I am not saying that it is not beautiful now, However, as people get older, they will inevitably feel the glory of the past, especially since my throat has been operated on, and I can no longer sing. "
Suddenly, everyone around her sighed for her. This is the premiere scene of "The Princess's Diary". This movie about modern fairy tales was released immediately after "Moulin Rouge". The time is slightly tight, but the New Year's season is about to end. If you don't hurry, then you can only postpone the summer vacation for the box office consideration.
"Don't say that, Julie, although you can't sing anymore, but I believe that everyone will remember Mary? Poppins in" Happy Man "and Maria? Von? Tripp in" The Voice of Music ", You left a heavy trace in the history of song and dance films. "Adrian praised.
Although after the 1970s, because of the rise of various technologies, such as "Space Odyssey 2001" and later "Star Wars", etc., coupled with the interest in various sports, Hollywood song and dance films began to shrink completely, Andrews' career also Greatly affected. This is so. She still did not give up her beloved song and dance film. If the movie is not sold, she will perform on Broadway. It was not until 1997 that a tumor had to be operated on the throat, and then a series of medical lawsuits were triggered. Singing career.
"I believe you too, Adrian. Although it is no longer possible to revive the song and dance film," Moulin Rouge "is indeed the best song and dance film in recent years. Ms. Nicole Kidman has also performed quite well. Excellent, it's great to see such a song and dance movie today. "Andrews complimented.
As mentioned above, after the 1970s, song and dance films have shrunk completely. Traditional performance methods are no longer popular, and the innovative approach is occasionally tried, but it has not caused a strong response like before, and song and dance films have gradually become a niche. After "Everyone Say I Love You" in 1995, there are no more high-quality works. In fact, even "Everyone Say I Love You" has not been criticized, and many people regard it as Wu. Dee? Allen started downhill.
This is exactly why "Moulin Rouge" can attract a lot of attention. The genre film may have a low tide, but it will never disappear. Over time, there will always be some dazzling sparks, even if the duration is short. In the same way, the old people of the film school will miss the era, the era that let them shine, the era when song and dance skills are important award criteria, so Adrian repeatedly asked Nicole to go into battle.
Adrian gave a typical example when persuading Naomi to practice singing and dancing like Nicole. Audrey? Hepburn's performance in the movie "Lady Lady" must be said to be outstanding, but she did not even get the best actress nomination at the Oscar that year, because the dances and songs were not her dancing and singing. And it was Julie who won the best actress that year? Andrews starred in the stage drama "Lady Lady" for three consecutive years.
So, Nicole's award-winning foundation is in place. Of course, it is still not easy to get awards only on the basis, and some important things are also indispensable.
"Remember what you promised me?" At the end of the conversation with Andrews and others, Adrian called a somewhat chunky middle-aged man out of the crowd.
"What do you mean?" Harvey? Weinstein blinked.
"Coming soon, in March." Adrian was too lazy to reveal his pretending expression, straightforward.
"Oh, yes, I know." Weinstein showed a look of sudden realization, and after a pause of two seconds, he smiled ambiguous again: "Nicole? Kidman, right?"
"It seems that there is only one movie directed and produced by me that might have the best actress." Adrian smiled.
"It's true," Weinstein recalled, then nodded. "It seems that there will be standards in the future."
Followed him again and laughed again: "That is indeed a stunner, and very personal, only a big person like you can tame her, but ... I remember that you said that" beautiful soul "also goes to Oscar, so ... ... "
Weinstein made this gesture but did not say the following words, but Adrian was very clear about what he meant, and associated with some of his previous performance, some rumors of previous life are not targeted.
"That's my business, Harvey," Adrian said lazily, "you just have to finish it."
"Okay, okay, but look, Ed," Pirates of the Caribbean "just started filming, want ..." Weinstein smiled.
"This time is the same as last time, Harvey," Adrian interrupted him. "All resources are at your disposal. I just want to see the results, so don't say you don't get any benefit."
The profitable guy didn't speak, and smiled twice without shame.
"This time is more sufficient than the last time, and the situation is more favorable. Don't let me down, Harvey." Adrian didn't care, but said it in a very serious tone.
Weinstein finally lifted his smile and nodded with the same earnestness: "No problem, Ed, as you said, this incident is more plentiful and the situation is more favorable. I have no reason to fail, waiting Watch the show. "
After a pause, he said again, "Frankly, Ed, I am really lucky to work with you."
He said this wholeheartedly. Indeed, no media group would be able to give him so much power, even if it was only for a short period of time. And by taking control of this power, Weinstein also understood that their brother was not the one running the large media group, and he was even more involved in film production and distribution.
"Me too." Adrian patted Weinstein on the shoulder. With the help of a guy with a lot of connections in Hollywood, many things have become simpler. The media is indeed more suitable for Disney than Miramax. .
After leaving Weinstein, Adrian walked to the other side, but sighed in her heart at the same time, if only she was as sensible as Andrews.
"This is our great miracle director, Mr. Adrian? Cowell, he is really an amazing director." Annie? Hathaway introduced Adrian to her friends with great interest, and although she was very close to pulling on his robe, she had no other meaning, as if this was just a very talkable friend.
"I'm glad to meet you. I'm Adrian? Cowell, not the owner of any company, nor a director, it's just Adrian." No matter what he was thinking about, Adrian still used an approachable look Pulled into the distance with these young people. It's too easy to get their favor, not to mention that their minds are not simple, such as the young girl's eyes on the far left have been blinking.
"I'm so happy, Ed, can you believe it? The first movie I'm starring in is going to be released!" It was easy to wait until the show started, and everyone started to enter the screening room, and Adrian got it. For a few minutes with Annie alone, she just kept talking excitedly.
"Then enjoy it tonight, it will be your official in Hollywood." Adrian did not feel impatient at all and still kept smiling.
"I really don't know how to thank you, Ed. It was you who gave me this character." Annie said gratefully. Adrian felt that she was sincere, but it was because of this that he gave him a headache. .
"Please have a cup of coffee," he said.
"Just a cup of coffee? How can that be?" Annie didn't hear the meaning at all. "If the movie is successful, my friends and I are going to host a party celebration. Can you host it?"
She opened his eyes and looked at him with the look of supplication, her hands clenched into fists, and looked very sincere, as Adrian said, if she didn't laugh, it was really beautiful.
"Well, if I have time," Adrian said after thinking about it, "remember to call me first."
"No problem!" Look at her cheerful appearance, if she hadn't already entered the screening room, she might jump up and cheer.
Seeing that Annie was so happy, Adrian sighed in his heart, even the the left had a wink over you. The girl with a pretty face and a similar eyebrow to Sarah, secretly put a small note into his hand when she left just now. No doubt, she wrote her phone number and address.
But it seemed that Annie didn't hear anything. Well, she was sometimes a bit sluggish, but she shouldn't be so slow? Maybe she's just protecting herself, but those words still sound sincere, and Adrian's countless readers' judgments in this regard are basically not wrong.
Thinking back to this period of not too little contact with her, it can be more and more confirmed that her vision is indeed problematic. Of course, she is really cute and talkative, and people who contact her do not hate her, just like before.
It seems that some means are still needed. Should I hit her? Adrian sat in his place and glanced at Annie who was a little excited away? Hathaway said so in her heart.
Needless to say about the content and response of "The Princess's Diary". On the first day of the screening, it got about 7 million box office in 2200 theaters, and the total box office for the first three days was 20 million. Compared to the expected, or the box office in Adrian's memory, this number is less, not surprising, after all, it is January, and the number of theaters is less than the original.
Rao is so. The first week of the movie still sat at the top of the North American box office charts. The good quality of the movie is one reason. Some media have praised it, Gary? Marshall once again created a good-looking fairy tale movie and thought Julie? Andrews and rookie actor Annie? Hathaway has performed very well, especially the pure and beautiful Anne, like Audrey? Hepburn and Julia? Roberts's complex-this title was also proposed early under Adrian's will. Of course, all girls have a princess dream in mind, which is why the movie is popular.
Even today, the royal families of various countries are becoming the object of tourism in the zoo, but the terms aristocracy, prince and princess are still sought after by many people. Therefore, Disney always holds the "Princess Complex" because it can easily let the girls pay for it. Unfortunately, the media has started to work in this area. The Princess Diary is just the beginning. I do n’t know how Disney will respond. .
Not to mention that, these days in early January, 2002, Adrian continued his leisurely life. Although the filming of "The Matrix" was important, he would soon go to London and live a few more days. Doesn't it feel too wasteful to ask all the staff to take photos and stop for a while?
So I suspended my work and took care of my daughters while running back and forth between women. Lili, this naughty guy, needless to say. Seeing that she will be going to school in another half year, Adrian could not help her go into trouble, but just told her not to set a bad example for Deva and Juliet. Not only dad but also sister.
Eleanor was fine, besides the nanny and mom and dad, she also had two aunts who loved her. Gwyneth may not be very easy to say, but Liv really really likes Eleanor very much. She always said that seeing her blue eyes was like seeing herself. Love and compassion overflowed with words. Until now, this little guy has been able to turn over and sit up, and always looks at the world with his eyes as beautiful as his mother, and even the first sound is called mother, making Blanchett happy and proud. For a long time.
As for Mary, who is over one year old, she can already speak some short sentences. The pink and tender little cute with big tongue is very interesting to talk about. Fortunately, the pair of eyebrows is very beautiful and there is no upward glancing. But she has a bad problem, and she always likes to bite things-not to stuff things into her mouth, but to open her mouth to bite. Once Adrian hugged her to answer the phone without paying attention, but she crawled on her body and bit her ear for a long time. When she put her down, she was very reluctant, pouting at the corner of her mouth and seemed to be sad for not being able to be late. Your teeth are not strong.
"Honestly tell me, Jessie, did you do the same when you were a kid?" Adrian asked Jessica very seriously, making a "definitely inherited" expression, which made Jessica angry and funny. He made a few punches.
However, not all work has stopped. Routine work reports of the media still need to be read. Some decisions about things still have to be made. Although Ivanka still has his academic background, he has always done well and let him Very easy.
There are three important things related to TV movies. One of them is whether the "Dark Angels in the Last Days" is over. As a science fiction movie, and it is still a relatively small number of science fiction movies, the ratings have not been very high, and it has declined slightly since the third season. And despite changing the background settings, the 9/11 incident still had a certain impact on this TV show. In addition, Jessica's mind began to gradually shift to the movie. On several occasions, Adrien suggested that Going to make a movie and think about it, it's just right to transform her now.
More importantly, through this science fiction movie, some staff members who have ideas on science fiction drama have also been trained. It is just that in the second half of the year, Adrian prepared for Ji Li is also a science fiction movie-this little Nizi also went to find opportunities Entangling Adrian, and taking full advantage of his body, it is quite a longing for fame. So we need to allocate resources for production, and by the way, we can remind Cameron that he needs to speed up, so the end of the fourth season seems certain.
It just needs to appease the production team and let them start preparing for a new TV show, which needs to be handled with care.
Then came the production of two movies, one of which was "Chicago" which was launched at the end of last year. This stage play was applauded when it was released on Broadway. Now the classic song and dance film or traditional song and dance film has a "Moulin Rouge" For a brief flash, Hollywood producers will certainly not let go of this subject. Unfortunately, the film copyright has long been taken by Adrian, otherwise Naomi and Zeta Jones will not practice so much time in advance. Sing and dance.
That's right, the song and dance film that Adrian told Naomi at first was exactly this one. He hadn't seen many song and dance films in previous lives, but this one impressed him even more than "Moulin Rouge". Without him, the song and dance of the barrister who held the press conference for the heroine is very image ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Both the heroine and the reporters are just barristers of the barrister, what the barrister wants them to say, they What to say, accompanied by rhythmic singing and dancing, the irony of black humor is very sharp.
Adrian knows Naomi's practice, plus her acting skills, there is no problem in getting a nomination. Needless to say, Zeta Jones is originally her. Although her performance in the previous life is not very eye-catching, and the winning off-site factors account for a large part, but now there are two nominations. It is not difficult to win. Not to mention Adrian.
Is the director naturally Rob? Marshall, although there are not many films he directed, there are many stage plays. He also directed the stage show "Chicago" a few years ago, which is very suitable.
As for the actor, do you remember Adrian and George when filming "The Eleventh Arhat"? Clooney's words? Although he didn't have any basic dance skills, he also started training at the same time when the film was being prepared in the middle of last year. It may not be as good as those professional dancers, but singing and dancing in front of the camera is no problem.
Coupled with Adrian's care, the film is no worse than the original in memory.
As for the other movie, it was adapted from Michael? Cunningham won a Pulitzer Prize novel in 1999: "Everyday!"
