King of Hollywood

"Simply put, what I need is a large and comprehensive lens, as much as possible to show the entire house and the grass outside and everyone in the picture, understand, Vigit?" Outside the secluded villa, Adrian said this to his photographer while gesturing with his hands.

"This is not a long lens, is it?" The photographer asked after thinking about it, and after getting a negative answer, he groaned before saying his own opinion: "Three to four lenses in front, we can sit Shoot on the boom from top to bottom, and the next few can build a track from there to there, and shoot from right to left. What do you think? "

Adrian thought about it, constructed the following picture in his head, and finally agreed: "Just so, but we can take another shot in the opposite direction for comparison later."

Viget nodded and said that he knew the members of the photography team began to prepare, and Adrian turned to Tom Hanks, who was sitting in a chair with his assistant facing the line. The time now is April 18th, and the location is a small town called Ewell in Alabama. The filming of "Gump of Forrest Gump" is natural, and it has been filming for almost two weeks.

"Hey, Tommy, how's it going?" Adrian greeted him all the time, wearing a pair of white trousers and a blue striped checkered shirt, with a small flat-headed Tom Hanks looking rather thick.

"You can start at any time." Hanks gave Adrian a thumbs-up with a hearty smile.

He was certainly happy. At the 66th Academy Awards ceremony at the end of March, Hanks won the best actor with no surprise. As for the best film and the best director, he fell into Spielberg's pocket without any doubt, and the moment he got the best director, just like Pasino got the best actor the previous year, the guests Stand up and applaud. What surprised Adrian was that the best actress still fell into Holly Hunter's hands. It is not surprising that she also has her own network and will find a public relations company to canvass for herself, let alone her opponents. It was particularly powerful, and Campion stood by her side.

Of course, just like last year, oh, it's more surprising than last year. Last year, it was just the best male and female protagonist who thanked him in the award speech, and was still at the top of the thank you list. This year, the best director was added. Compared to Hunter's "Thanks to Ms. Campion, and also to Adrian for recommending me"; and Hanks' "Besides, also to Adrian, who wrote this script and asked Joe Recommend me, if not his recommendation, maybe I would not stand here at the moment "; Spielberg's speech is undoubtedly more eye-catching.

"Speaking here, I would also like to thank a person, Adrian Cowell, for his incredible help in making this film, from the selection of several actors to the scene and plot. It is proposed that "Schindler's List" can be produced, and he should account for at least one-third of the credit. If it were not for him, maybe this film is still on paper, and maybe not as good as it is now. Thank you, Ai Thank you very much "

This is Spielberg's speech about Adrian. At that time, the screen of the entire Music Center was a close-up of Adrian. People who originally applauded Spielberg turned to him. Therefore, even if Adrian had only one nomination for the best original screenplay for "The Philadelphia Story" in this Oscar, he was nominated with another screenwriter, and eventually the prize was taken by Campion, but still It was one of the most prominent individuals throughout the award ceremony.

However, this attention refers more to the attention in the circle. The general public is more willing to focus on those dazzling stars. If Adrian appears as a nominee for the award, they will also be interested. Eyes, but he's just a guest, and a glance is enough.

But for the people in the circle, it is different. Which of these men and women who work hard in Hollywood, does not want to go up to the stage to lift their own little golden men? If last year Adrian used two movies to send Passino and Thompson to the throne of the film Emperor and there is still luck, then all this year fully showed his vision and strength, it can be imagined that those What actor will be rushing.

"So let's get started." Adrian patted Hanks on the shoulder, and then made a gesture to the assistant director not far away.

He didn't take those too seriously, this was originally a part of his film career plan, and this situation will only grow more with the development of time, such as "The Forrest Gump" which is being filmed now, so usually Just right.

"All units are prepared," Adrian yelled after glancing at the scene, watching the monitor to signal the field knock.

The shots now are very fragmented. They are all plots of A-Gump's home in Alabama. The time span is very large. The last shot may be a high school student. The next shot is already standing next to the mailbox and was informed by a letter from Lieutenant Dan. After fishing for a lot of money, he invested in a computer company that bought Apple.

"Very good, Tommy, beautifully done." Adrian clapped his hands after a shot. The stopped Hanks shrugged blandly, "this is what I should do".

It can be seen that his previous experience as a volunteer in the orphanage helped him a lot. He accurately grasped the characteristics of the mildly mentally handicapped, and also had his own interpretation of A-Gump. That kind of simple but upright and persistent temperament fully meets Adrian's requirements

No matter from what angle-acting or being a human-Hanks is a good person to be associated with. After winning the Oscar for the best actor, his agent once persuaded him to ask the crew to increase the film pay, after all, the new film emperor must have a matching value, and actors who have done this kind of thing are not a minority.

But Hanks refused without thinking. Although he had an accurate judgement of Adrian's prospects, he also had his own principles. Not everyone can refuse so firmly. As for why Adrian knows that this is normal, if he doesn't even have his own channel of news, then don't do it.

After taking several consecutive shots, Adrian immediately announced a break, and then wearing a blouse, jeans, sneakers, and a baseball cap, Charlie appeared very low-key and came over.

"Mr. Crowd just called and it seems that there are important things to look for you." Charlize said that she was a secretary in the office and an assistant on the set. Although this dress obscured her good looks, she could not hide her. Nice figure.

Adrian smiled and looked at her carefully. It wasn't until the girl's face became heavy that she answered the phone and walked outside the set.

"Hey, Crow, is there anything you can do for me?" After the call was connected, he went straight to the subject and said a few minutes later he smiled, "Really? Fine, I will let Charlie contact the plane immediately ... It ’s okay, it wo n’t affect it. I ’ll arrange it here before I leave, and there ’s just something in Los Angeles to deal with. ”

Adrian, who had finished the call, stood there for a moment, thinking, and then came to Charlize: "Charlie, get in touch immediately. I'm in Alabama now, and I need a private jet."

"Are you going back to Los Angeles? Now?" Charlize asked a little unexpectedly.

"Yes, as soon as possible, all schedules must be rescheduled." Adrian nodded, slap on her hips without a trace, quickly turned to find the deputy director.

"Richard, as well as Dean, Victor, and Ray, have some bad news to tell you." Adrian said after finding the associate director, as well as the assistant director and executive producer.

"Oh, don't tell me that we need to close the street or borrow a stadium or something. The last time we did it, we were almost complained by the people in the town." Executive producer Ray Huggins faced a bitter face.

"Come on, Ray, I bet he definitely wanted us to take other cameras to experiment with some shots elsewhere, but it wasn't like that before, anyway." Richard Ryan, the associate director, sighed. Said.

"Maybe the lawn is not neat and you want to trim it again? Or maybe the lawn is too neat and you want to make it more cluttered?" The two director assistants joked with you in a word.

"Well, you guys, don't you think I'm too kind, so I can be a little bit arrogant now?" Adrian half-jokingly and half-warning, seeing a few people laughing and stopped talking before continuing. "I'm leaving for a few days. Some important things over Los Angeles need me to deal with them."

"You mean to leave?" The deputy director looked surprised, "But there are still dozens of shots here, and there are still weddings or something ... Are you planning to stop?"

"Of course not ~ www.readwn.com ~ When I am away, you, Richard, will be in charge of shooting." Adrian pointed to the associate director.

"I'm coming?" Richard Ryan became even more surprised. "Are you sure, Ed? This is your movie."

"Yes, I know, so I'm not going to let you shoot some more complicated shots." Adrian nodded. "Now we will pause the shooting first, and then I will discuss with you which shots can be taken, those shots, etc. I ’ll come back to shoot, and I will draw the shots for your reference if needed. I believe you will do well, Richard, you have the basic qualities that a good director needs most. "

The subtext of this sentence is, if done well, I can consider letting you try to direct a movie. Such a temptation is definitely not something Ryan can resist, unless he wants to be an associate director all his life.

"I see." Richard Ryan immediately agreed.

"Very well, I will announce this to the crew soon and have them do what you want when I leave, including Tommy," Adrian nodded, looking at the other three, "As for you, I don't need to say any more, and I'll do my best to help Richard do the work these days, understand?"
