King of Hollywood

Chapter 147 A low-key release

It wasn't until the sun was high that the two who had fallen asleep entangled in a strange position on the bed woke up. After moving their already somewhat paralyzed limbs, they sat up, smiled at each other without saying anything, got out of bed together and went straight into the bathroom without any clothes on. The bedroom was in a mess, and the living room, which was also in a mess, could be seen through the half-closed door. One could imagine how fierce the battle was last night.

The splashing hot water poured down from the nozzle, showering on the bodies of the two of them, bringing a burst of comfort. Adrian and Julia still didn't speak, they were cleaning their bodies. It is inevitable for two people to share the same nozzle, bumps and bumps, so in the end, they simply clean each other's body, so that there will be more contact with each other, so it is necessary to be tender in the falling water, and sometimes when the interest comes. There will be bursts of low laughter.

As time goes by, the sexual interest of the two will inevitably be stimulated. In addition, when they just woke up, their self-control is relatively weak, so Julia discovered that after the fierce battle last night, Adrian can still wake up. He raised it so high that he knelt down without even thinking about it, which was very natural. Adrian snorted softly, leaned against the wall and rubbed her hair to enjoy the service.

After spending a lot of time, the two of them got dressed and came out of the bathroom refreshed, and then started the cleaning activity. At the same time, they randomly found some food in the refrigerator, put it in the microwave oven, and used it twice. Fill your belly. After finishing all this, they sat quietly in the living room for a long time, until the sunlight climbed from the floor-to-ceiling glass into the garden, Adrian got up and walked out, and Julia followed behind. Said the first sentence of waking up.

"I'm leaving." Adrian said standing at the open door.

"I know." Julia leaned against the door and shrugged. After a few seconds of silence, she asked again: "So, when will you return to London? Tomorrow? Or the day after tomorrow?"

"It will be at least a week later," Adrian thought for a while, "I finally got rid of those troublesome reporters and returned to Los Angeles quietly. Of course, I need to take a good rest."

"Really?" An inexplicable light flashed in Julia's eyes, and Adrian raised his eyebrows after noticing it.

Two seconds later, the two suddenly kissed each other. The battle between lips and tongues was extremely intense from the very beginning, as if they had been hungry for a long time. The gasping sound became more and more heavy, and finally, the two separated, but after looking at each other, they kissed together again, but this time they walked into the room while kissing, and at the same time, Adrian tapped his heel , shut the door heavily.

When such a farewell picture appeared at the gate of the villa again, it was already five days later, Adrian was still wearing a hat and wearing the simple white shirt and gray trousers from last time, although he knew it had been washed, After coming out, he kissed Julia who was wearing a floral dress, and then said goodbye and left.

And Julia, who looked very refreshed, did not pull him back into the room like last time, and after smiling, she closed the door in front of him with a loud bang.

"Really, a woman's petty temper..." Adrian shook his head amusedly, then got into the car he had parked for several days, started the engine and drove onto the street, the wind blew through the lowered car window , so that he couldn't help whistling.

In these short five days, the two of them basically didn't go anywhere, they stayed in the house all the time, chatting, dancing, singing, playing games, watching videos, etc., whatever they wanted to do, whatever they wanted, Except for a few occasions when I go out to eat, most of the time I order takeaway.

Of course, the most important things are not these. For five whole days, on the bed, on the sofa, on the floor, on the coffee table, in the bathroom, on the balcony... In this room, there are only unexpected places, and there is nothing that cannot be done, and there are all tricks that can be used. It was used up, and all the parts that could be used were used. I have to say, it's pretty crazy.

Yes, five crazy days, but five really good days at the same time. Adrian, who was holding the steering wheel with one hand, smacked his lips. When he thought of Julia's frantic demands or begging, he had the urge to turn around and go back to live for another five days. The most attractive part of Julia is the iconic mouth, which made Adrian fascinated by the first time. After being instructed by him, it is more flexible and changeable. It is completely compared with Kate and Monica. no.

In addition, the back is also quite good. At the beginning, Julia resisted very much, but later became obsessed with this feeling after she became smooth, and the more she forgot, the more she actively cooperated, and Adrian also gained unprecedented pleasure.

I look forward to seeing you next time, Julia. Adrian smiled and said in his heart, he knew why Julia would be so indulgent and lingering with him for several days, but, you want to end this, but I don't.

Because of the revised plot of "Four Weddings and a Funeral", he suddenly had a new idea. What better way to hint at the next few blockbuster movies than using the characters he played?

Although the time may be a bit long, what does it matter? As long as you can hold her in the palm of your hand. The villain in the car thought about it, and then stepped up the accelerator and drove away.

The next day, Adrian rented a private jet and returned to London. First, he inspected the finishing work of "Howards End", and then notified Mike Newell that the matter of the heroine was settled, and he could start the formal work. Prepare. If it goes well, it may be able to start in January next year. Adrian will leave other things about the film to the director. Naturally, it will not be as fast as he presided over it. If the weather is bad, the start time may be longer. Delay later.

After completing these two main tasks, he went to see little Emma at Ms. Rodlin's house. After making an agreement as before, he immediately returned to Los Angeles by renting a private jet because "Scent of a Woman" was released .

Without the premiere, the film has experienced too many ups and downs. Although Al Pacino was invited to star, the cost is not high, so the premiere was simply canceled to save money. Anyway, the main function of the premiere is to promote the movie, and the promotion of this movie is enough.

Therefore, since it was released quietly, and the number of theaters was only just 1,000, it still won a box office of 7 million U.S. dollars that day, and it rose to 11 million by the weekend. It can be said that the movie is already waiting to be seen. Even though many people dismissed the movie as having been refrigerated for so long, and now it is just a dying struggle, more people still chose to enter the movie theater. After that——

"This is Adrian's another film that gives people hope after "The Shawshank Redemption". From destruction to rebirth, Al Pacino will be grumpy but stubborn, and he must do what he decides The blind Lieutenant Colonel Frank delivered it perfectly, and this has to be his best and best performance in years" - The Hollywood Reporter

"This is a magical year-end friendship. A young and confused college student and a irascible lieutenant colonel who wants to die, because of a chance encounter, they influence each other, and finally find what they lack in each other. I have to say to Al? Pacino's acting skills are admirable, when he appears on the big screen, he can't be seen as a person with perfect eyesight, especially the wonderful tango, which is cautious but flamboyant, which is amazing."—— "Variety Show"

"The title of wizard director is perfect for Adrian. He perfectly integrated the earliest style into this movie conditionally and selectively. Although there is always a shadow of those previous works, it is completely different from the previous ones. The movie, it's an excellent movie, especially Frank's speech in the auditorium at the end, it's so emotional that Adrian did exactly what he set out to do." - The New York Times

"The plot is the same as the original Italian movie. Adrian, who is good at storytelling, never seems to think of putting more effort into the plot, as if nothing is changed—oh, no, at least the scene is changed to the United States. This In a sense, the film is more like Al Pacino's one-man show, and the director's role is reduced to the minimum. If I had expectations for his "Howard End", now I don't need it. Check it out." - The Times

Basically, critics praised "Scent of a Woman" more than it criticized it, especially the American critics, who praised it as if it was the best movie of the year, as if the doubts in the first half of the year were not true at all. exist. Criticism is mostly concentrated in the British media, and most British critics put on a look of indifference and pointed at "Scent of a Woman", thinking that if this is Adrian's literary drama movie, it is nothing more than that . However, at last, the media of the two countries did not quarrel this time.

The reason why there is such a clear-cut situation is that because of the "Howards End", the American media was once speechless. Since the quality of the movie after its release is really good, it is natural to take this opportunity to fight back .

Secondly, the theme of the movie really tickles the itch of mainstream American society. The view that "whistleblowers are shameful" has always been the view that Americans agree with the most. Many whistleblowers in movies that meet mainstream tastes or go to the box office, The end was miserable. In the United States, some viewpoints cannot be subverted, such as the definition of the Holocaust in World War II, such as homosexuality and discrimination, such as the evaluation of whistleblowers, this is called political correctness.

Thirdly, Al Pacino as the protagonist is indeed very brilliant and very eye-catching. Although many people didn't say anything, they knew very well that he had been nominated for 6 Oscars before this, but he still got nothing. If this movie declares to compete for this year's Oscar for Best Actor, based on his acting skills and qualifications, Pacino has at least an 80% chance of winning the award

The combination of several factors has resulted in the low-key release of "Scent of a Woman" but a hot response. ()
