Chapter 225 Prospect Planning and Premiere

"This is indeed a beautiful city with one of the best beaches in the world. It is very suitable for vacation. The French really enjoy it and arrange the film festival to be held here," Adrian, who was standing at the entrance of the balcony, shook the wine glass in his hand and looked at the scenery outside and said, the red liquid swayed back and forth in the glass, as leisurely as his current mood.

"Yes, it's beautiful Taobao Women's Tmall Taobao Mall Taobao Women's Winter Coat M, this is my first time in Cannes - I mean as an actress." Naomi sat not far from him Also holding a wine glass, Nicole, who was sitting further away, didn't speak. She sipped the red wine with her legs crossed, as if everything around her had nothing to do with her.

"It will be a regular thing in the future, dear Nami," Adrian turned his head and smiled slightly. "Soon you will find that there is not much difference between coming here as an actor and coming here as a tourist." The difference, even, coming here as an actor is not as free as coming here as a tourist."

Speaking of this, he inadvertently glanced at Nicole, but unfortunately, the other party was still drinking the wine in his hand, even if he used a more affectionate name for Naomi, it couldn't change this.

"I completely believe in this. Whenever I leave the hotel these days, I will be surrounded by reporters, and I can only stroll around the neighborhood a few times." Naomi sighed, looking into the distance through the balcony, her fingers on the Tapped his face lightly.

"Don't worry, the film festival has already opened yesterday, and "Mulholland Drive" premiered tonight, and it will slowly become lively in a few days. When I go out, even if there are reporters to follow, it won't be as it is now A lot." Adrian said comfortingly, and then he thought of something and went to sit next to Naomi: "By the way, Naomi, have you analyzed yourself? Which roles are you good at, which roles are you not good at, and how to make use of your strengths and avoid your weaknesses? ?”

Naomi thought about it carefully, and then shrugged her shoulders helplessly: "You know, from the beginning of my acting to the present, my roles are almost all small supporting roles, so how can I do this kind of analysis."

"Okay, then I have two ideas for your reference now," Adrian said immediately, "The first one is similar to most actresses, romantic love comedy line, you are so beautiful Mao Taobao mall Taobao women's winter coat m and charming, so weak and lovable, and has quite good acting skills, I believe that I can use the same method to walk out of different paths, and I happen to have such a character here .”

As he spoke, he reached out and lifted Naomi's chin, and gently stroked that beautiful face. Although his movements were very frivolous, but his expression was very serious, Naomi involuntarily lowered her head and did not dare to look at him. .

"And the other," Adrian continued, "is the thriller route. You know, "Mulholland Drive" is classified as a crime, suspense, and thriller movie. Since you are in this genre of movies He has shown quite good acting skills, so it is also a good choice to continue to expand his advantages, and there are also such roles here."

Nicole, who was a little far away, finally raised her head at this time, she only glanced at this side and then quickly turned to the other side, but her subtle lip biting movement did not escape Adrian's eyes.

"It's a difficult choice," Naomi sighed after thinking about it, but her eyes seemed to have made a choice, "After all, I have no experience."

"It's okay, you have enough time to think and analyze." Adrian chuckled, and a hint of arrogance suddenly appeared on his face, "Even if you choose the wrong path, I can let you start over."

Naomi laughed softly, but lowered her head because of this, and raised her head after a while: "What about Nicole? What did you arrange for her?"

Although I have only played a threesome so far, and it was for the filming of "Mulholland Drive", Naomi has already guessed Nicole's situation very closely, so there is no need to worry about asking, anyway, I The other party should be equally clear about the matter, there is nothing to be ashamed of, besides...

smart woman. Adrian praised secretly in his heart, no wonder he still said such things even though he already had a choice in his heart, he immediately looked at Nicole through this topic: "You should have read that script, Nicole, how about it?" ?”

"A single mother lived in the manor with two children, and then hired a few weird servants, and weird and terrible things happened one after another in the house, as if a ghost had invaded, but in the end it was discovered that the dead was actually Myself and my own children." Nicole turned her head, briefly outlined the content of the script, and then shrugged, "I really don't know if it was the 'genius' idea."

The pronunciation of the word "genius" is very sharp, obviously the meaning is reversed, but Adrian replied without hesitation: "Thank you, this is my idea."

"This is also a horror movie, right?" Naomi asked after hearing the content clearly.

"Yes, although Nicole has made some good movies before this, but in these movies, she only has one label, and that is - vase." Adrian said, stood up and walked behind Nicole, putting Putting her hands on her shoulders, Nicole put down her wine glass and did nothing else, her expression was very calm.

"Just like you, Nami, who made guest appearances in many TV dramas and movies, but they are all underappreciated vases. It's just that for some reason, Nicole's starting point is relatively high." Adrian continued, "Because you are all too beautiful Taobao Women's Clothing Tmall Taobao Mall Taobao Women's Winter Coat m, Beautiful Taobao Women's Clothing Tmall Taobao Mall Taobao Women's Winter Coat m is so beautiful that people want to own it, Beautiful Taobao Women's Clothing Tmall Taobao Mall Taobao’s women’s winter jackets are so mundane that people ignore other things, and no one wants to inspire your hearts, so there is the current embarrassing situation.”

There was a slight tremor in her hands, and Naomi was also slightly lost in thought. Although Adrian's words were explicit, they also said what they really wanted in their hearts.

"So I arranged this movie for Nicole. Generally speaking, horror movies are easy to highlight the actor's acting skills. The frightened appearance can be in sharp contrast with the usual appearance, as long as the fear and fear seem credible. , you will get quite a good reputation. Of course, similarly, if you use too much, you can easily ruin your performance. This depends on the actor's grasp. And if you want actors to grasp this degree as much as possible, apart from the director In addition to the explanation, the actor's own speculation and the state of shooting, the fit between the actor and the role is also very important, and the role I prepared fits very well with Nicole." Adrian said, sitting next to Nicole He got down and put his arms around her shoulders.

"Nami, at the beginning you gave me the feeling that you were weak and need to be cared for, so there was that character in "Mulholland Drive". And Nicole, what impressed me the most was the feeling of glamor and paleness And a little neurotic, with a morbidly beautiful Taobao women's clothing Tmall Taobao mall Taobao women's winter jacket m, that's why I have this character." Adrian said with a smile.

Having said that, he finally stopped, and the room was suddenly quiet. Both Naomi and Nicole were lost in thought. After a long time, Nicole's voice sounded again: "Is this the impression I gave you?"

Although she tried her best to keep her tone cold, the confusion was obvious.

"For the time being, but I believe that as time goes by, this impression will slowly change, right?" Adrian laughed, and the hand on his shoulder slid down, and finally passed through the armpit. Under the breast root.

Nicole turned her head and looked at Adrian with her blue eyes. The complicated and somewhat dazed expression flashed away, and then she stood up: "I want to go back and pack up to prepare for the premiere tonight."

As she said that, she strode out of the suite. Adrian gave Naomi an apologetic look, and after the other party returned a no-worry look, he immediately got up and followed Nicole and went out. Watching the two of them leave the suite, Naomi let out a sigh of relief, and sat silently on the chair for a while before standing up again to pour herself another glass of red wine.

After shaking twice and taking a small sip, staring at the red liquid in the glass for a while, she shook her head with a smile, and then focused on the premiere of the evening, which was the first time that the film she starred in premiered on an international occasion.

"You seem a little angry?" Adrian asked after following Nicole to her suite.

Although three suites were booked, Naomi basically lived with Adrian, and would only avoid him when someone had something to ask him for. And Nicole basically stays in her room and does not meet with the two unless Adrian invites them.

"No, I just... think that the script you gave me is not good to evaluate." Nicole shook her head. She originally wanted to refuse him to go in. Adrian wanted to come over to "talk" to her last night, but in She refused and went back. But the words did not come out of his mouth, especially when Naomi's beaming expression came to mind when she opened the door after arriving at Adrian's side today.

"Actually, the technique of this script is very similar to a certain movie a few years ago." Adrian chuckled, pulled her into his arms and sat on the sofa bench. Now there are only the two of them, so he is naturally Be bolder.

Nicole struggled slightly, and finally fell into his arms obediently: "Really?"

"Of course, you should remember the story of a psychologist and a little boy." Adrian reminded, and when Nicole was about to say his name after thinking about it, he said it first: "Yes Yes, Bruce Willis and Silver Phoenix's "The Sixth Sense" was my idea, don't you believe my vision? And there are many logical holes in that story, but The mystery revealed in the end is too shocking, people ignore the logical loopholes, and this script will be made more perfect with that story as a reference."

As he said that, he lowered his head and kissed her face lightly, and then smiled again: "Actually, you don't have to be angry, I said, this is the impression you gave me before, and the impression is always changing .”

"Really?" Nicole, who was showing some longing just now, sneered and sat up, "But the first impression is also very important, isn't it?"

She brushed the hair around her ears in a proud tone, and what she was referring to was self-evident. Adrian smiled kindly, then sat down again, and leaned in front of her to stare at those beautiful eyes : "Yes, I still remember, here a few years ago, when you handed the Palme d'Or into my hands, I still remember wearing a black evening dress, tall figure, bright and charming face, and When you almost fell off the stage and I grabbed your arm, the touch was also always lingering in my heart. Probably since then, I have had the idea of ​​wanting to take you as my own."

Nicole showed a surprised look for the first time in a few days, staring fixedly at Adrian not knowing what to say, her aura was completely suppressed by the other party.

"Just wait and see, Nicole, you will be mine sooner or later, from beginning to end, from inside to outside, all of me." Adrian said with a smile, as if announcing something.

After a long time, her chest rose and fell several times, before Nicole gritted her teeth and said, "I'm yours now, even if you want me to play the trumpet for you now, I won't refuse, will I?"

As night fell and the lights came on, quite a few reporters gathered outside the red-carpeted Paros Theater. They were all whispering and looking towards the end of the street, obviously waiting for someone.

Soon, there were quite a few people who participated in watching the movie, and distinguished guests entered the venue from the red carpet. Although there were also many reporters asking questions and taking pictures, it can be seen from their slightly absent-minded expressions that none of them were the ones they wanted to wait for. People, until two cars appeared in people's sight. Two silver Rolls-Royces, and it is said that they were transported by air by private jet, so it goes without saying who came here with such skill.

"Mr. Adrian, why did you choose to use "Mulholland Drive" to participate in the film festival instead of several other films produced last year?" Adrian was surrounded by these questions as soon as he got out of the car. They didn't go out of the hotel outside of the opening ceremony, so they naturally attracted quite a lot of attention. Nicole and Naomi, who got off from another car afterwards, didn't get this kind of treatment. Although they didn't go out much these days , but also answered questions.

"It's very simple. This film was produced on a temporary basis, with a small investment, only 15 million. In addition, the production cycle is very short, and it is also experimental, so it was used to participate in the Cannes Film Festival." Adrian This time, he answered very frankly, and at the same time clarified certain things without showing any trace.

For example, the previously rumored investment was only a few hundred thousand, which is really a joke. Although Nicole is not worth much now, she played a supporting role in "Batman Forever", and she still has a salary of three or four million. Although Naomi and the newcomer Almost, Adrian still gave her a salary of 500,000 U.S. dollars-after Naomi got the salary, she returned to Adrian the rent she had previously "borrowed" and the expenses used to settle the landlord's wife.

Coupled with all kinds of expenses, how could it be possible to only have an investment of hundreds of thousands like "Two Smoking Barrels"?

"There are rumors that your film is jerky and difficult to understand, how would you rate it?" A reporter asked ambiguously.

"Go and see." Adrian also gave a smooth answer.

"I heard the film was inspired by Ms. Naomi Watts, is that true, Mr. Adrian?" Questions followed.

"This statement is both correct and incorrect. The concept of this movie was conceived a long time ago, but I always felt that something was missing, so I didn't take action until..." Adrian said and waited After Nicole and Naomi came over behind him, they stood in the middle and stretched out their hands to wrap their arms around the waists of the two beautiful girls, "until I met Naomi." , she gave me a lot of inspiration to flesh out the script, and then through her, I invited Nicole, both of whom gave great performances, and the film would not be complete without them."

This gesture of hugging left and right immediately attracted a burst of crazy flashes. It is not uncommon for a director to embrace a movie heroine and a supporting actress at the same time to accept a photo, but the question is who is this person hugging? Although the public can't see that famous name clearly, the people in the circle can't see it clearly, so if the reporters miss this opportunity, it's better for them to buy a piece of bread and kill them head-on.

This lasted for more than ten seconds, and Adrian then let go of the two ladies and walked into the theater - it is one thing to take pictures with arms around, but another thing to walk all the way with arms around - click, click The sound continued for a long time before it stopped, and the reporters realized that it was impossible to ask questions. But being able to take the photos just now, even if you can't ask questions, it should be worth it. Anyway, Adrian will definitely stay in Cannes before the closing ceremony, so don't worry about not being able to catch him.

What's more, there seems to be something that can be photographed in front of me. Nicole and Naomi walked to the theater together hand in hand. The intimacy seems to have exceeded the boundaries of friends.

Finally entered the theater, Adrian breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and immediately began to exchange greetings with people he knew and did not know. Luc Besson and Jean Reno both came to the premiere, so naturally they had to say hello. In addition, there are producers, film producers, directors or actors from various countries, plus people from their own companies, there are many of these guests. What's more, there are film critics and ordinary audiences. If they were not arranged in the Paros Theater, I am afraid they would not be able to accommodate them.

The premiere here was much simpler than the premiere of a commercial film, and soon people began to take their seats, and Adrian's seat was arranged at the end. This is what he requested on his own initiative, because "only in this way can we better observe the audience's reaction", as for whether the other party believes it or not, that is their business, and the entire last row is assigned to the crew, Nicole and Naomi Also sat on his left and right sides.

The good show is finally about to be staged. After turning off the lights in the screening hall, Adrian said this in his heart. I don't know how people will react to this movie? It's really exciting and exciting.

Glancing at Nicole and Naomi respectively, seeing that they were all focused on the screen, Adrian also temporarily restrained his mind. Soon, the lights were on the screen, and the miracle director's version of "Mulholland Drive" was about to begin. . ..
