King of Hollywood

Chapter 256 One by one

Now this version of "Cast Away" has also received considerable popularity. Who made two-thirds of the movie a one-man show by Tom Hanks? With his current superb acting skills and burgeoning appeal, it is enough to provoke a big production, not to mention that the quality of the movie itself is not inferior to the original version.

Dreamworks also spent a lot of money on this movie, winning nearly 3,000 theaters, and the box office for the first three days was close to 30 million. For commercial films, this data is not particularly good, but as the first box office of a film that is both artistic and enjoyable, it is definitely a very good start, even though the investment and publicity cost reached 100 million.

"You've always had a good eye for this, Steven, so it's no problem following you," Adrian complimented Spielberg on the night of the premiere.

"Come on, Ed, everyone knows that in Hollywood, no one can compare to you in terms of unique vision." Spielberg responded with a smile.

"That's not due to me alone. Even without me, the great ones will still be great. I just made them a little earlier." Adrian shrugged, "Besides, every movie can be obtained all over the world." With hundreds of millions of box office, you are the only one in Hollywood, Steven."

"You are always so humble, Ed." Although Spielberg kept smiling, the complacency and ease in the corners of his eyes were very obvious.

Although "The Matrix" broke through 500 million box office worldwide, the global box office of "Jurassic Park: The Lost World" reached 750 million. Spielberg will inevitably be a little proud, despite the reputation of "The Matrix" Higher, don't forget why DreamWorks arranged for "The Lost World" and "The Matrix" to be released on the same weekend.

However, what they didn't expect was that before the end of the summer vacation, the media successfully acquired Universal from Seagram. , then it is completely incomparable now. They ran out to show their existence at this time, and the media also holds shares in DreamWorks. God knows if they will attack them next.

But fortunately, at least so far, Adrian has been expressing his goodwill, and has always respected Spielberg, and in some respects he also supports DreamWorks-the Big Three are not like some people In that way, I thought that Adrian was just a decoration in the media, and only expressed opinions on film and television production-so Spielberg now feels relaxed.

Well, these are digressions, "Cast Away" and Hanks' acting skills were unanimously praised by film critics. The New York Times called it "a box-office bomb with the soul of an art film." The Chicago Tribune greatly praised Hanks' acting skills, which further increased his popularity.

These are all expected things. Adrian teased Hanks on the night of the premiere, and the old guys at the film school should have a headache again. With one person supporting an excellent movie, should he be nominated for Best Actor or not? You know, Hanks is the one who won the best actor in a row.

Adrian doesn't care whether the film school gives it or not, although he remembers it was given, but unless there is really no decent opponent, Hanks has a very small chance of lifting the statuette for the third time, so he The focus then turned to "Good Will Hunting," which opened its opening weekend after "Cast Away."

This movie is very interesting, and it fully interprets the word blundering. Adrian got "Mind Catcher" early in order to win the best original script for "Titanic" and put it in his hands as a reserve. Unexpectedly, "Titanic" failed to win the best original screenplay, but broke the award-winning record through the best makeup. Just at this time, because of the changes caused by him, Natalie has no film contract for the time being after filming "Star Wars", so Adrian simply handed over the supporting actress to her. You must know that this movie is also quite important, and Chen Natalie Just the right age.

If it had been filmed last year, the girl's acting skills might not have been a problem—even though it didn't take much to play Amidala, she still did a good job, didn't she—but she still seemed relatively petite. But after the postponement to this year, she has grown a little taller, and her appearance is more in line with the appearance of a college student, so it is only logical that this role will be given to her.

"Although I watched the sample, your daughter is indeed very good, Shelly, she is climbing to the mountain step by step, I have always been optimistic about her." In the front hall of the premiere theater, Adrian said so congenially Natalie's mother said.

Although Natalie's career is managed by an agent, her mother has always been taking care of everything in her life. This time she flew to Los Angeles to attend the premiere of "Good Will Hunting", so Shelly naturally followed her daughter.

"Thank you, Ed, she has always been a hard-working child." Although Shelly answered, her eyes kept falling on Natalie not far away, with a loving smile.

Adrian also looked there from time to time, but he didn't stop too much each time, because it was his little elf who was standing with Natalie talking and laughing: Kirsten Dunst. Originally, Adrian did not plan to bring any woman to the premiere of "Good Will Hunting". Natalie came to Los Angeles rarely, but who made one of the supporting actors be "Spiderman" Tobey Maguire, Kers Teng had a good relationship with him, and Adrian didn't say hello to the women, so she got the movie tickets for the premiere from him.

It's just that Adrian didn't expect Natalie to come with her mother. The world of the two must be dead, so it's no big deal for Kirsten to attend the premiere.

"Sorry, Ed, Mom has nothing to do at home recently, so I brought her here." Natalie took an opportunity to pull Adrian in the corner of the empty corridor and said apologetically.

"It's okay, anyway, I can go to New York anytime." Adrian waved his hand to show that he didn't take it seriously, and then smiled slightly: "I will go to New York as usual after Christmas, and the house I just bought there has probably been renovated. I hope you and I will be the first to spend the night there."

Natalie hesitated, then nodded: "I promise you."

Adrian leaned forward and wanted to kiss her goodbye, but the girl took a step back and pointed to the crowd outside, then smiled apologetically and turned around and slipped out. He couldn't help but frowned a little dissatisfied. Originally for this day, Adrian had planned several programs, intending to give Natalie a surprise, but now it seems impossible, with Shelly by her side, she will definitely go back tomorrow morning, and during this period During the time, he couldn't get along with Natalie alone.

Damn, that feeling is coming again, I hate this situation Adrian said this in his heart.

"Hi, Ed." A voice came from outside, and soon, Kirsten appeared in front of Adrian.

A white short dress with a black belt hanging around the waist, a beige windbreaker, flesh-colored stockings and dark high-heeled shoes, the soft and hanging blond hair covering the face, with a shy smile and bold eyes, beautiful And alluring.

"Hi, Kiki, I didn't expect you to come to the premiere of "Good Will Hunting." Adrian greeted her with a smile.

"I want to give you a surprise." Kirsten came to him and glanced out. This corner is really a good place, very quiet, and anyone who comes over can see it at a glance.

surprise? Adrian raised an eyebrow. It is impossible for Kirsten not to know the actors in this movie, and he pulled Natalie to talk when he came to the theater, and she came over as soon as Natalie left. Thinking about it, she came here to compete for "This Killer Is Not So Cold", so it's not hard to guess what's going on in her mind.

"This is indeed a surprise, Kiki." Adrian said with a smile, stretching out his hand to hook her chin, "always appear by my side at... the right time."

Kirsten's eyes lit up, and he smiled lightly and put it on Adrian's body. The meaning of this sentence is obvious. Natalie rejected Adrian for some reason, and this happened to be her chance. Kirsten doesn't think that girl can escape from his grasp, even though she is indeed very smart - she just talked with her for a long time through her previous acquaintance, not only did she not find out the details of the other party, she almost took out her own clean.

But it doesn't matter, as long as Adrian still pampers her, she doesn't need to care about these at all, so Kirsten saw the right time to fill in, and as expected, filled the vacancy left by Natalie.

Facing the girl who was exhaling like blue, Adrian was not polite, and immediately put his arms around her waist and blocked the two rosy lips, venting all the emotions accumulated because of his displeasure.

"We...maybe...find a better place..." Kirsten quickly gasped in the heat of the struggle, and reached down with one hand to rub.

"Ed...I'm starting to miss..." Her tone was full of longing.

To her surprise, after the passionate kiss, Adrian did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, but gently pushed her shoulder away and pointed outside: "Now is not a good time, everyone has already started to enter."

"What does that matter?" Kirsten looked at him in astonishment. It was just a movie premiere, and it's not like he didn't find a place to do it at a time like this. Why is he pushing back and forth now? Could it be...

"Don't worry, we have one night, unless you don't want to get up tomorrow." Adrian pinched her chin with a smile. "It would be too bad if that was the case. I wanted to ask you to go to San Francisco tomorrow."

"Really?". Kirsten, who was a little upset at first, immediately showed a look of surprise.

"Of course, but until the end of the movie, we have to maintain the previous posture." Adrian nodded.

The previous attitude naturally refers to when Kirsten first came to the theater, she maintained a polite appearance with Adrian. The girl is also a smart person, and she quickly understood what he wanted to do. popped up again. However, the emotion only lasted for a few seconds before disappearing. With Adrian thinking about the girl's feelings God-killing God Seal Throne Begging the Devil, Proud of the World, Ninth Heaven's Strongest Abandoned Young Master Zhou Royal Family Martial Qiankun General Night Killing God's Seal of God Throne, Begging Devil It's no big deal to be the strongest in the world-defying Ninth Heaven and abandon the Da Zhou royal family. The more Natalie is like this, the less I have to worry about.

That’s roughly the case, Adrian doesn’t want to be too messy in front of Natalie, but Kirsten also thinks a bit too much and biased, but it doesn’t matter, as long as there are no problems overall.

The premiere of "Good Will Hunting" is about the same size as "Elizabeth" and "Shakespeare in Love", but again, it is as successful as those two films, if not more successful.

At the very beginning, the audience didn't have much affection for Jacques Phoenix as Will. They were unwilling to be lonely and wanted to show their talents, but when the opportunity came, they discarded it carelessly. But with the development of the plot step by step, after Will's experience was revealed step by step, everyone began to sympathize with him.

Especially when Professor Sean, played by Robin Williams, beat his heart with understatement on a park bench—a line that Natalie loved—the audience actually There were boos, not loud, not many, but clear in the auditorium.

In addition, when Skyler, played by Natalie, chewed tears and desperately said to Will after the quarrel, "Say you don't love me", but Will hesitated and turned his head and said "I don't love you" At that time, the auditorium was full of sighs, because of Will's cowardly escape. This is also related to the wonderful performances of the two actors, especially this shot, whether it is Natalie or Jacques, is several times better than the original version.

Therefore, when the final ending came, although Will did not return to Professor Gerald to show his talent, he embarked on a journey to Los Angeles to find Skyler. The audience expressed their hearts with warm applause. joy.

"It's a heartwarming book." --USA TODAY

"Robin Williams and Joaquin Phoenix both showed extraordinary acting skills, and Natalie Portman as a supporting actress is no less than them." - "Variety"

"Two wounded souls resuscitated in a collision full of genuine emotion." - The Washington Post

The vast majority of American media gave this film a high praise, which was higher than that of "Elizabeth" and "Shakespeare in Love", but it was the opposite in the European media. Not surprisingly, "Elizabeth" and "Shakespeare in Love" are excellent, and they also tell British stories, while "Good Will Hunting" is an American story. Although some plots are very vulgar and old, the rhythm is in place and the sensationalism is also handled. It is just right, and it is naturally more popular in the United States.

This can be seen at the box office. There are also 300 theaters similar to "Elizabeth" and "Shakespeare in Love", but they won 8 million at the premiere box office, far exceeding those two films.

Adrian didn't care. Whether it's "Elizabeth" or "Shakespeare in Love", they are all works that were developed in the later period. The publicity is in place, and the rest is just a matter of time. In fact, "Good Will Hunting" is also such a movie, but despite its good performance in North America, it is definitely not as good as those two works overseas.

Not to mention this, as Christmas is just around the corner, he finally got rid of the endless premiere activities, and then took Kate and daughter to the godfather's house for Christmas.

"You know, if I stay at home, no matter what I do, people will be dissatisfied, but it is impossible for me not to spend Christmas with Lily, so I have to come to your house." Facing Claude's inquiry, Adrian Said so innocently.

In this regard, Claude could only roll his eyes, he really didn't know what to say.

This is indeed a good way to solve problems, but sometimes it can cause many problems. For example, Aunt Beth persuaded him from time to time that Lily is getting older and should marry Kate—in New York, it was Aunt Martha who persuaded him— —Adrian, who is hard to explain, can only listen obediently, anyway, what to do is his own business.

But things are always changing, and Christmas will not be so easy in the future, because...  

"Hi, dear, what's the matter..." Adrian who picked up the phone'\u003e was stunned before asking, and asked after a few seconds: "Are you sure?".

"Yes, sure, Ed, it's been two weeks, and I'm really, really happy." The phone'\u003e was full of Monica's joyful voice, and there was even a feeling of tears of joy.

"Great," Adrian laughed. "Are you at home now? Very good, I'll be right over."

After closing the phone'\u003e, he let out a sigh of relief. Although he promised to give Monica a child, Adrian still felt unreal after he succeeded.

"It's no big deal, I will have another child, and Lily will also have a younger sister or younger brother." He and he quickly adjusted, checked the time, and prepared to go out.

Just then, the phone'\u003e rang again.

"This is Ed... Hey, Sophie, what happened? You sound a little... ah?" Adrian opened his eyes wide in the middle of the sentence, "You...what did you say?"

"I'm pregnant, Ed, it's been...it's been two weeks, you know, I've been apart from you for a few years..." Sophie's tone was filled with unease and nervousness, but also a little excitement.

"Okay, I see, don't worry, are you at home now? I'll be right over." Having said that, Adrian was in a daze after putting down the phone. Monica and Sophie were in the same room. Days called'\u003e Said they were pregnant?

Before he could come to a conclusion, there was a knock on the door, and then Charlize opened the door of the study: "Ed, someone is looking for you."

"Looking for me?" Adrian was stunned for a moment, and then saw Yuki Hui walking in with Britney.

Unlike usual, Britney looked timid, with anxiety and uneasiness between her brows. Reminiscent of the two phone calls just now, Adrian couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth. Could it be that she is also pregnant? few words

Charlize and Yukie quickly left the study and closed the door. In the next second, Britney jumped into his arms like a frightened bunny, holding him trembling.

"What happened, Boo Boo? Don't worry, I'm right here." Although his brows had already turned into a pimple in his heart, Adrian still patted her back and comforted her.

"Ed... Dad... Mom and Dad know about us..."
