Vol 3 Chapter 174: Windfall

"The light is darker. I have emphasized many times. Even if Edith has stabilized in Paris, she is still just a street singer. This must be highlighted. Compare it with later life and give it to me. Keep this in mind, do you understand? "Adrian was commanding aloud during the set." Rocks, write it down. In the later period, all of this will be replaced with French buildings similar to the previous Act 23. "
"Yes sir!" The named Rox replied immediately, then quickly took notes.
Not only that, but all the staff members are too busy in the atmosphere. Although Adrian is not particularly serious, his tone is vaguely severe, and no one can tell whether he will get angry in the next second? After all, so far, in mid-January of 2003, the shooting progress of "Life of the Rose" has been a long way behind the plan.
Although Adrian is known as the "Energetic" miracle director, he made the movie very quickly and it took three months to complete the filming. It would probably only take him two months or even one and a half months, otherwise he would not At the end of last year, there will be two commercial productions completely directed and produced by him, a movie with a small cost of art. However, if the status of the actor is always inadequate, the director cannot do anything to speed up the production.
This is not to say that Sophie's acting skills are very poor. After continuous running-in, she has basically been able to capture the characteristics of Edith Piaf, plus makeup, especially after the old makeup, it is completely unthinkable. She has always been beautiful. Two-pronged approach, it is very possible to ascend to the throne after the film.
It's just that Adrian hopes that she can do better. In many cases, Sophie and others have already been very good shots-in fact, if you want to pass, there is no problem-Adrian can see that Sophie is still There is room for improvement. Needless to say, the goal of this movie is that he only hopes to give her as many hole cards as possible before that, so it is possible to spend time repeatedly shooting for the best results.
Anyway, there are not many plans for this year's plan. Such a waste won't affect anything. The actors may be tired, but Sophie didn't say anything. She always cooperated as much as possible.
The main reason for not being able to keep up with the plan is in myself. So Adrian did not blame the crew, but this did not prevent him from using this opportunity to spur them. Sophie, who knew this, didn't care, and used the "Energetic" prefix name to tease him in private. Of course, Adrian later made her understand what is energetic.
However, she is not on the set now, and Adrian gave her a leave, because today's shot is without Pi Yafu's role. Well, that's not accurate. It should be a play without adult Piaf.
"Are you alright, Renado?" After looking around again, it was ok that Adrian looked over to the dressing room.
"Okay, sir." The makeup artist replied loudly, and then came over with Dakota Fanning.
Little Dakota became dirty now. Wearing coarse props and clothes, her hair was also disheveled, giving a sense of blankness and maturity, but the sparkling eyes were still very godly.
"I won't say anything more to you, Hannah. You are a very clever and excellent kid, I believe you can do your best." Adrian said to Dakota in a pleasant color, still on her head. Patted.
"No problem, I have long wanted to work with Director Miracle, I will definitely do my best," Dakota replied brittlely. Even with ugly makeup, I can't hide the sweet smile, "This way I can continue to cooperate."
Really smart kid. Adrian frowned slightly. As a child, saying this kind of words would only be surprising, and then turned into a cute, so I was more impressed, but ... but he didn't think about it again, it was not a big deal, as long as she could play the young Piaf is fine.
Dakota did not disappoint Adrian. Many lenses passed NG four or five times, and the longest did not exceed double digits. Although this has nothing to do with the drama, but she really does well, and becoming a popular child star does not depend on luck alone.
After admiring her, Adrian immediately brought a smaller, almost five-year-old girl over. In Life of the Rose, the young Piaf has two periods, one is about ten years old, and the other is about five years old-although Dakota is less than ten years old, she is better among her peers. His acting skills made up for this-so in addition to Dakota, Adrian also made a smaller girl.
"Hello, Ms. Duke, it's nice to meet you." Adrian shook hands with the girl's mother, then leaned down to smile at her daughter: "You must be Kolo Moritz Anymore? "
"Yes, sir, are you the famous director of miracles?" The little girl replied in a soft voice, staring at him without blinking, not pretty, just cute, even though It was Adrian who could not be associated with her image a few years later, which is probably why no one thought that she would become a female eighteen years later.
Chloe Moritz's appearance in the smaller Piaf is purely accidental. This role is not particularly important, so Adrian did not make too many calls when casting, and the crew did not take it very seriously. Then, Colo's mother, Terry Duke, took his daughter to Los Angeles. When he visited Universal Studios, he turned to the studio and saw the audition for the crew of "Life of the Rose". He was curious and added himself Brothers who have experienced performances often brag about her, so they begged their mother to audition.
Seeing that her daughter was so interested, and the conditions for the audition seemed not high, Duke took Colo to try it, but he didn't take it seriously. It was only that these casts were eventually reported to Adrian, and the person in charge of the cast had some insight and added her information to the check. So Adrian remembered it after seeing it.
"If no one else is called a director of miracles. It should be me," Adrian smiled. "Is this your first time in a movie, right? Don't worry, just do as I tell you."
After speaking, after touching Duke's permission, she touched her head, and the little girl grimaced at him immediately.
"You have a lovely daughter, Ms. Duke." Adrian laughed, then greeted the people to prepare, and started explaining to Little Clo.
Since there are future stars coming to your door, why should you let them go? Whether starting from the development of entertainment. It still makes sense to render his vision of discovering talents, just like Dakota, so Kolo Moritz has gained this role-after receiving a call at home, they still have some disbelief and thought It is deceiving.
"You just need to show pain, do you understand what is pain?" After a brief explanation, Adrian asked.
"It's like ... my mother threw away my Barbie doll?" The little girl asked, thinking for a long time with her head crooked, and realized what she was covering her mouth. Then he looked worriedly at his mother. Although the mother next to her was a little surprised, she didn't say much. She just gave her a funny look, and Kolo spit out her tongue and then smiled at Adrian with a smile: "That's probably it."
Very nice, cute, funny and smart. Adrian thought with a smile and nodded, thinking basically.
"Are you interested in making your daughter an actor. Ms. Duke." Adrian asked Kolo's mother like that after the simple shots.
"When ... an actor?" Terry Duke opened her eyes, she didn't understand, but she couldn't believe it.
"Yes, in my opinion. Your daughter has great potential," Adrian said, squatting down in front of Colo again. "Is it fun to make a movie, Colo."
"It's funny." The little girl nodded her head, and she was basically obedient when filming, although it was the same as many young actors who performed the movie for the first time. Sometimes she couldn't react, but most of the time she did a pretty good job-at least for a child who first performed a movie, it was pretty good. Adrian let her show her emotions as much as possible.
But as long as she stopped shooting and did not take a break, she would turn her eyes and look around curiously, and pull people to ask this, which is a typical curious baby.
"So, would you like to make movies often in the future. And then be a big star?" Adrian asked with a smile and induction.
"I ... can I?" Colo asked, a little bit crooked.
"As long as you work hard, you will." Adrian nodded seriously.
"Can you give us some time to think about it?" Duke said at this moment.
"Of course no problem." He gestured immediately.
Adrian is not worried. Not to mention his current fame. Before the Duke family promises to let his daughter play a role, he will definitely collect relevant information about the director and producer. In the face of his long list of achievements, the vast majority People's choices are not different. Earlier, when Adrian induced Colo, Duke didn't have any extra words. This is enough to explain the problem.
Then, scouts or agents will come to lobby continuously, and the final result will not exceed Adrian's surprise.
Okay, that ’s it for the moment about the shooting of
Life of the Rose
. Although it ’s never stopped, it ’s as low-key as
The Devil
. After all, January 2003 was only halfway through. Whether "The Matrix 2" or "The Lord of the Rings 2", or "The Devil's Head" which has increased to 300 theaters, has attracted the attention of others in different fields.
In addition, many movies are also being fermented, such as Scorsese's "New York Gangster", mixed reviews, such as "Pirates of the Caribbean" North American box office has passed 250 million, such as "Chicago" cinema and box office basically It is directly proportional to, for example, "The Moment" released in a small area.
This pure adaptation of Michael Cunningham's novel, starring Rachel, Sophie, and Streep, is only released in 11 theaters at the beginning. It has not increased until now. The plot is slow and the content is loose, but the film critics tend to eat this set and give high scores.
However, if it ’s just acting skills, the three starring actors can be considered as different, especially Sophie, maybe not as good as the other two, and acting strangely as French in the American country housewife, but there are a lot of bright points in terms of acting skills. This also proves that it is time to launch "Life of the Rose" now.
And Rachel. The media claimed that this was her best work since "The Patient in Britain", and it was closer to the Oscars, and it was a big hit-if there was no Gwennis and "The Devil"-therefore, Adrian deliberately I took some time to "solace" her.
Although the movie circle is so lively, and Adrian has three completely different types of movies online, he is still the same as before, unless it is important, it will not appear in front of the media seriously, like "The Devil Head" Explaining this situation is still exceptional because it is only convenient to do certain things. For example, arrange Gao Yuanyuan's residence and study and live in the next few months.
"Given that this is your first time in the United States, I will arrange for you to live with Xi Lei, to take care of each other, anyway, her villa is not small." Gao Yuanyuan came all the way to Lin Xi Lei in St. Mo After Nika's sea view villa, Adrian took her to the tour while commenting after dropping her luggage.
"Yeah, I always think it's calm here, so I sleep on the company side a lot, and you're here just to be lively." Lin Xilei, who had been told earlier, seemed very enthusiastic. She called for a get-together, no matter I or she, they are good people. "
Throughout the tour, Gao Yuanyuan was surprised and curious. It was a timid smile, basically speaking nothing. It is normal to feel shocked when I first came to Los Angeles and lived in this place.
Her choice was not unexpected by Adrian, as said at the beginning. No one wants to come to Hollywood to develop, even if it is just a TV series.
Huayi was also on the other side. This arrangement required their cooperation, so Adrian did not hide it. They later won Gao Yuanyuan's brokerage contract and were quite polite to her.
then. After the filming of "Yi Tian Tu Long Ji" was finished, I took a break, and said goodbye to my family and friends, and applied for a visa. Finally, I came to the other side of the Pacific Ocean in mid-January.
"Don't be too nervous. This is not completely different from China. Just take a few days off, adjust the jet lag, and call home. Then familiarize yourself with the environment. I will let Xi Lei take the time to give you guidance and teach you some in the United States. Common sense of life, I will come to see you from time to time. In short, do n’t worry, it ’s like going out on vacation. After you get used to it, we will talk about English and acting training. May went. "After the tour, when there were only two people, Adrian comforted Gao Yuanyuan.
This is a good opportunity. Why do people who are alone feel homesick? Because everything that is familiar has changed, there is nothing to rely on that makes people feel safe. In this case, who can give her a sufficient sense of security, she will unconsciously rely on the other party, so Adrian took a little time, after she adjusted the time difference and initially adapted to the environment, took the time to invite her to go shopping, Eating and introducing the city, she easily got her to bed again.
Although it is not necessary to put her down on the collection shelf, how can you not play a few times early in the face of such a young, beautiful and showy girl?
"Don't think about it that much, it's just an observation period, wait for a while," Adrian said in the face of Lin Xilei's hint.
"No problem, boss." Lin Xilei shrugged indifferently.
"Besides, look at Zhiling, don't let her do anything stupid." Adrian urged again.
After all, Shuanglin is a Taiwanese. Lin Xilei is okay. He knows his thoughts and is very decent, but it is difficult for Lin Zhiling to say it, especially in the past year or so, she is too petting. If there is any contradiction, it is a bit troublesome.
"No, boss, Zhi Ling is actually very smart. She will have a good time with Miss Gao." Lin Xilei replied immediately, even hinting slightly.
Adrian didn't take it seriously. He knew that Lin Xilei had been trying to expand their circle, otherwise Liu Yuzhen would not have been recommended to him at the beginning, and he had repeatedly advised Lin Zhiling. It is for this reason that Adrian has arranged Gao Yuanyuan to live in her villa. There should be no major problems with her as a lubricant.
This is one thing, and there is another thing worth paying attention to in mid-January, which is an accident and a surprise like Chloe Moritz.
Because of Britney, Christina and Avril, Adrian came to Universal Records a lot of times, and often came to work to leave before leaving ~ EbookFREE.me ~ but today because of some things to advance, the results just As soon as I got down, I heard a sharp voice from the reception room over there: "Why not? I am the best, why not! Have you ever listened to my music seriously?"
In fact, he can leave directly, but he suddenly feels interesting, his voice is very sharp and brittle, he should be a girl, and he is not too old. Although he can only hear a few words, his voice is still very good.
Who is so arrogant? Adrian was curious, then went outside the transparent reception room and knocked on the door, and then a tall girl standing in front of the coffee table turned around. He squinted at a glance, he couldn't help but a little cyanosis. The girl was not the same as she imagined. She was quite tall and looked like she was fifteen or six years old. At the age of thirteen or four.
This is not the point, the point is that her face is still a little fat, and her long blond hair is brushed back, exposing all her forehead. In this way, the facial features that should be pretty good make her look ugly. .
"Are you a miracle director? The miracle director who can write songs!" Before Adrian asked, the girl had taken the lead to scream, followed her chest, and proudly introduced herself: "I'm Taylor, Taylor? Swift, you should sign me, I will be the most famous country singer! "(To be continued ...)
