King of Hollywood

To be honest, which director and producer can be as good as Adrian? The first film won the best newcomer award at the Venice Film Festival, and the second film won the jury award at the Berlin Film Festival. Although there is luck in it, it can't obliterate the excellence of these two films. His title: Director Ghost Talent! These two low-cost, high-grossing films pushed Adrian to the pinnacle of second-line directors and producers, and La Verne was almost certain that after "Shawshank's Redemption" was released, he would take some action and he was promoted to first-line director and producer. Hardly a problem.

In addition, his screenwriting ability is obvious to all. The scripts of these three films are all produced by him, and the first four scripts sold to various companies made money after they were made into films. Especially the "Bodyguard" sold to Warner was the most profitable of those four scripts. Although Warner Company adjusted the schedule to mid-July in order to avoid the sharpness of "Terminator 2", it has so far passed the box office in North America. Billion is no longer delusional.

Not to mention the others. And most importantly, it took him just over a year! It seems that it took only about two months from the shooting to the production of "Two Great Smoke Guns", and "The Fragment of Memory" took three months. If "Shoshchenko's Redemption" is not inseparable from him in London Body, about four months at most. So even if Lafferne doesn't approve of such a hurricane-like development, he has to admit that Adrian's vision and ability are unmatched. In this case, let's follow along.

那么 "Well, which one do you plan to choose for your new movie?" Lafferne asked.

“Of course it ’s a remake of an Italian film, and it only needs to be partially modified on the original plot,” Adrian replied with a smile. “In fact, I already took the time to write some scripts when I was in London, and the rest was given The editor of the editorial department, Julis, is in charge of the compilation and strives to complete it within a week. She is the best of those screenwriters. "

好的 "Okay, what else?" Laffern wrote it down.

"Set up the shelf as soon as possible. I hope not to exceed mid-September. Except for the actor, other roles and shooting venues are in charge of various departments." Adrian said he paused here and groaned for a few minutes before opening Mouth: "I'm afraid when it comes to inviting the actor, you have to help me figure out a way, Laffer."

"Oh?" Rafern raised an eyebrow.

"I intend," Adrian looked at him with a meaningful look. "Invite Al Pacino to be a lieutenant colonel."

"Smell the Woman", this is a new film prepared by Adrian.

Question: How can I guarantee that I can get it when I want to get the first place and know the answer?

Answer: Move the entire key calculation step intact.

Al Pasino won the best actor in the 65th Oscar by playing the blind lieutenant colonel Frank, so Adrian only needs to completely copy the movie "Smell the Woman" and invite Al Starring in the actor, the rest depends on La Fern's publicity and public relations methods. It is very speculative and tricky, but Adrian doesn't care. As long as he can achieve his goal and the means are within the scope of the rules, he can do everything.

Although he did not know this, Paula Fern strongly agreed with Adrian's approach. Quite simply, Al, who became famous in the 1970s, has passed by several times with the best actor in Oscar. If you only look at acting skills, whether it is "The Godfather 2", "Hot Days Afternoon" or "Righteous Justice" is enough for him To a little golden man, unfortunately Al's luck was not very good.

However, until now, this bad luck has turned into capital. Almost everyone knows that the Film Academy owed a little goldman to Al. As mentioned earlier, if the competitors can't be far removed from the quality, then the factors that determine the outcome are other, and this qualification is also one of the factors. So as long as Adrian can really guarantee the quality, Lafferne is completely sure to push Al to the best actor's throne.

In this case, let ’s go ahead. Although the heads of the company were astonished at the fact that Adrian was constantly making new movies, he did n’t have much opinion. His expressions over the past year are obvious to all.

In fact, if possible, Adrian would like to make the first three films prepared first, the "Howard Manor" that gave Emma Thompson the best actress.

"Howard Manor" is a novel by the famous British deceased writer Edward Morgan Foster. It is a typical English literature. It tells the helpless, embarrassing and unexpected stories of two people around Howard Manor. Meaning this novel is more like a long fable.

The reason why I first wanted to choose this film first was because Adrian was confident to persuade Emma Thompson to appear. As one of the most well-known actresses in the UK, Thompson is also a talented woman and has her own opinion on film writer and production. In addition, this film is adapted from a famous British novel, as long as she believes that he can make good shots. This movie, then promised absolutely no problem. Moreover, when the other protagonist of the film, Anthony Hopkins, promised to cooperate orally during the Berlin Film Festival.

Unfortunately, although the idea is good, there is an embarrassing problem that cannot be avoided, that is, Howard Manor is an out-of-pocket loss. This is a typical British Victorian-style movie. This alone can make many viewers lose their interest in watching. In addition, the story itself is neither suspicious nor thrilling. It is about people. Things, then you will lose part of the audience. Simply put, this is a very niche literary film, and you can imagine how many box office you can get.

Of course, since Adrian decided to shoot this movie, he certainly wouldn't care if he lost money, but it should never be now. Although "Two Great Smoke Guns" and "Memory Fragments" have made a lot of money for the film company, they can also spend a lot at the same time. The company's expansion will not say that there are several movies that are invested alone. It is not wise to lose money at this time. Act of. Therefore, he had to set his sights on "Smelling Fragrances and Knowing Women", but this film also had troubles to be solved.

I previously said that Adrian would choose Howard Manor as the first choice because he was confident of persuading Emma Thompson. But it would not be easy to switch to Al Pacino.

Pasino is not like Freeman or Robbins. He has been famous for a long time and has experienced too many things. He is the number one big star in Hollywood. It is not easy to convince the other party to take on the role.

I say that because Adrian's qualifications are too shallow. If he can maintain the current momentum, after three or five years these big stars will certainly not refuse to cooperate with him, but it is difficult to say now.

Facts have proved that his worry is correct. Passino's agent is a difficult guy. Not only does he have smooth means, but also speaks and works, and it is impossible for Adrian to talk with Passino alone.

However, Lafferne was not helpless. After several negotiations, he invited the other party to participate in the final screening of "Shawshank's Redemption", and finally passed the level of the agent, and then Al himself.

"Let ’s say that, Al, I originally created this character based on your image, especially the last paragraph of the speech. I watched many of your movies, your kind of large-scale declaration monologues, that kind of Dramatic performance, that iconic action can not be performed by others, I very much hope that you can take on this role. "Adrian said this when he came out to talk, while making a slightly exaggerated gesture Seems excited.

"I have to say, Ed, you now seem to have much richer body language than me." Passino Haha laughed, and he was a very good person in private, "Frankly, I also like it very much The role of Frank and the speech. After seeing your script, I deliberately brought in the Italian movie to see it. Although the main plot has not changed much, I think this lieutenant colonel is more attractive than the captain. , So I don't think I can say no. "

"I'm glad you can promise, Al, I promise you won't regret it. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com" Adrian immediately stretched out his hand.

相信 "I believe you will not let me down as a ghost director." Passino Haha smiled and shook him.

It was much easier after directly contacting Pacino. Even this time, I only talked twice. The script apparently attracts Passino, otherwise how could he "take up" the role? Of course, this has nothing to do with Adrian's favor, so that when he left, Passino's agent meaningfully said to Laverne, "You have a good boss."

No matter what, Pacino agreed, and after the discussion of the treatment of the issue can be signed. This was negotiating with Pasino's agent Edard, but Adrian threw it directly to La Verne.

Although the main goal has been achieved, it will take time to start filming. Because "Shawshank's Redemption" needs publicity, the preparation of the new movie is relatively slow, and the location of this film is more troublesome-school, China The Astoria Hotel and so on-plus casting also requires manpower, so by mid-September the basic shelf was put together, but it takes time to get further.

It doesn't matter, anyway, as a representative of the method school, Pasino still needs to go to the blind school to observe and learn-admit that he is a dedicated actor, and contact the blind school the next day after signing the contract. Therefore, it is not a big deal to delay the time a little bit later. This time, unlike "Shawshank's Redemption", there are not many big scenes scheduled. As long as the actors are in good condition, Adrian is sure to complete the filming in 6 weeks.

What's interesting is that he's dealing with the role and other agents 'agents, and there are other agents' agents dealing with him.
