\u003c/br\u003e Chapter 285 What are they doing?

Regarding Adrian's promotion of New Zealand director Peter Jackson as the team leader, the rest of the crew didn't react much. Everyone knew that Marvel Director likes to promote directors who are not well-known, and they also knew that Marvel Director's vision almost never missed , not to mention that Jackson's achievements are there.

"If you can all reach this level and master the script well, then I will be much more relaxed." Adrian said to the heads of several other groups while playing the clips shot by Jackson at the meeting.

Who made him the boss? Besides, everyone has worked with him on more than three or four films, and they all know that the director of Miracle has always just talked about the facts, so there is still some courage. And working next to Adrian—the person in charge of the replaced team returned to the headquarters to serve as an assistant director—although he was a bit busy, the pressure was definitely less than that of being in charge of the team.

Time began to flow in May. As "The Expendables" was released in other regions, this popular movie with a super cast quickly swept across both sides of the Atlantic. Not only did the box office continue to soar—— North America has already exceeded 100 million— ——Several action stars whose popularity has declined seem to have won the second spring. In addition to the cooperation of the Big Three, which is talked about by filmmakers, others have also won the support of many people, even newcomers. Diesel, Jeter Lee, and even Dwayne Johnson, who has no lines in the series, some people say that the appearance of holding a machine gun and shooting with a straight face is cool.

Therefore, peripherals have also started to be put on the agenda. Each actor has designed his own specialties and props. If the filmmakers like it, they will definitely not be stingy. In addition, the original soundtrack full of explosive rock music will be released soon, and Surprise is also preparing to produce a comic to test the waters. Everything is proceeding in an orderly manner according to Adrian's plan. There are occasional deviations, but the general direction is on the right track.

This is the strength of a well-run group. Although Adrian has played a decisive and leading role in it, as long as they point out the direction and achieve results, they will naturally start to develop and supplement.

That's it, it was the first time that they were able to keep pace with their old rivals. The TV dramas and reality shows provided by Adrian certainly played a big role, and their own accumulated strength was also one of the reasons. "The Lawyer's True Colors", which received good ratings and won the Emmy Award for Best Drama Series last year, was bought from 20th Century Fox. Similarly, another legal drama "New York Serious Cases" that supported them before the media acquisition was also purchased from Fox.

In addition to "The Expendables", two other films under the media were released in early May. The first is "Operation Swordfish". This film was supposed to be released at the end of last year, but director Cena The idea of ​​re-creating the title came up. Adrian was most impressed by the title of this movie. Naturally, he would not allow it, so it was delayed until this year.

Facts have proved that the method of remaking the opening title is very correct. This startling opening and Sean Penn's interpretation, which is not inferior to Tara Walter, attracted the attention of many filmmakers. It got a box office of more than 30 million. Although there is still a little gap between this figure and the estimate, it is much better than the original version.

Besides, the movie itself still has flaws, and Adrian didn't spend time and energy on directing it. This data is already pretty good, at least relying on the box office to recover the cost should be no problem, and the future "Wolverine" can be counted. Such a good appearance. Although Halle Berry did not have the large-scale scene, she is still very enchanting throughout the movie, bringing out all the charm that Black Pearl should have.

"Blade Warrior" was released immediately after "Operation Swordfish". Although "Blade Warrior" was launched later than "Spider-Man", the scenes were not large and there were not many special effects, so the production was very fast, so it was rushed. done up front. After thinking about it, Adrian agreed to make "Blade Warrior" the first superhero of Marvel comics adapted into a movie in the 1990s, and at the same time postponed the release date of "Spider-Man" to Christmas.

The original "Spider-Man" was released in 2002. There are many factors for its unprecedented success. Before it, "Blade Warrior" and "X-Men" had created a huge popularity for Marvel Comics, which is one of them. Although this is not a decisive factor, the popularity of "Spider-Man" comics and the setting close to ordinary people have played a big role, but it cannot be ignored.

So even if this version is better than the original version in all aspects, the young Maguire and the little goblin are more in line with the comic image, but it is necessary to have other comic movies to lay the foundation.

Also with about 2,000 theaters, the North American box office of "Blade Warrior" in the first week is a little worse than that of "Operation Swordfish", only a little over 20 million, but this is already very encouraging. After all, the investment of this movie is comparable to Operation Swordfish is much less. Marvel Comics was even more relieved, indicating that there is still a market for their comic heroes, and at the same time, they are looking forward to "Spider-Man" at the end of the year.

"The future belongs to surprise?" The "New York Times" immediately used this title. Before "Blade Warrior", the only popular superheroes on the screen were Superman and Batman, and these two characters belonged to the opponents of surprise. Made enough money. Now, as the movie version of "Blade Warrior" has achieved good results, Marvel seems to be starting to exert its strength. You must know that "Spider-Man" has already started publicity during the production of Surprise, and it is basically certain that it will be released at the end of the year. Maybe in the future Will the superhero movie really be Marvel Universe?

Many film companies have also become active, but their actions are all a step slower. Marvel Comics was acquired by the media long ago, and the media now has several powerful film companies. Even Universal has been acquired by the media. In the pocket of the income, there is also a miracle director who is very good at making movies. It is not easy to get the copyright from them.

Even so, many producers are still trying to contact Marvel. If they fight, the chance may be very small. If they don't fight, then there is no chance at all. However, Adrian has always been noncommittal about these connections.

"Don't worry, wait until the end of the year." This is his reply to Marvel Comics. When "Spider-Man" is released and further demonstrates the potential of Marvel's superheroes, there will be more bargaining chips in hand. Negotiations If so, the initiative will be greater. In fact, the top executives of Marvel are also aware of this, but they don't know how much "Spider-Man" can bring like Adrian.

With the media's reports on "Blade Warrior" and Marvel comics, entertainment reporters began to find ways to dig out news about the director of Marvel. From the time the media started, it can be seen that they have been optimistic about Marvel comics a long time ago, and there is news It is rumored that "Spider-Man" was the first to be made into a movie precisely because of Adrian's insistence.

But the problem is that they couldn't find Adrian. As early as "Vanity Fair" reported that the miracle director was about to put the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy on the screen, entertainment reporters began to inquire about the news, but it wasn't until Adrian Ann only got a little news after attending the premiere of "The Expendables", and it has nothing to do with "The Lord of the Rings", but said that the next two parts of "The Matrix" will be produced together.

The reporters had no choice but to find all possible filming locations. From Méng University to Ontario, from the British Isles to the three Nordic countries, they have never found Director Miracle and his "Lord of the Rings" crew. This is really unbelievable. Did they go to Mars to film exteriors?

So even though "Blade Runner" made waves in the May film market, New Zealand's side is still running in an orderly manner. The non-disclosure agreement with the local government in Queenstown is a factor, as is the blind spot of the reporters. No one would have thought that Adrian would go to the southern hemisphere to film this masterpiece.

So he didn't care about those reporters at all, and quietly continued the production of "Lord of the Rings". With Jackson's joining, the efficiency of the production crew was at least doubled compared to before. Even if the other managers were a little unhappy, it disappeared in the subsequent work. However, it was replaced by surprise. Peter Jackson understood the script too thoroughly, right?

As for the understanding of the novel, several people in charge thought that they would not fall behind. As early as when Adrian started preparing, he told them to have time to read more. But for the understanding of the script, Jackson often has a clear understanding of it, as if he has read it countless times. Even if there is something he doesn't understand, he will understand it when he talks to Adrian the last time. It is really incomparable.

However, for the actors, the changes in the crew are not too big, they still work hard to interpret their roles after taking turns to rest. Ring spirits chasing hobbits, half-orcs attacking human villages, the encounters of the Fellowship of the Ring team in the mines... With these plots filmed in sequence, the story of Ross Lorien and Rohan soon began, and then, the actor They began to envy and hate again.

Last month, they had already seen the scene where Adrian hugged Liv, Kate and Charlize from left to right. As the above two plots unfolded, the other two of the three main female protagonists, Blanchett and Gwyneth When I came to New Zealand, Adrian started hugging her left and right again, which is really hateful

"It's too exaggerated. Don't you think it's strange when so many women are surrounded by one person? Or do they not know that there are more women?" Davis, who played Jinli, sighed more than once .

No matter how depressed they are or how they talk, the intimacy of Gwyneth, Blanchett, and Adrian is not pretending, and the meal and rest together are exactly the same as when Charlize and the others came last month, so the actor We can only lament that the miracle director is indeed a person who likes to create miracles.

Of course, there is also one person who is very unhappy about this, and that is Liv who returned to Los Angeles for a period of rest and returned to the crew two days later than Blanchett and Gwyneth.

It's really disgusting. Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass window and looking at the gloomy sky outside, Liv bit her lip and thought angrily. It was so easy to wait until the weekend, and originally thought that she could ask Adrian to go to the North Island of New Zealand together. To go shopping, who knows that he declined on the pretext of other things

What can he do? It's nothing more than ghosting with those two women, and they must be rolling around on the bed together. It's shameless. Liv still remembers the afternoon before yesterday, because she finished it earlier, so Adrian asked her to take advantage of the temperature during the day. Not bad, go for a walk in the nearby forest. But because the two women followed, she refused, but after thinking about it, she seemed a little weak, so she drove after her.

At the edge of the forest, she got off the car and turned around for several times but couldn't find them. Finally, she had to give up and found them near some tall trees from a distance. Then, that scene was deeply engraved in her mind. Adrian was leaning on the car parked by the tree, hugging Blanchett and Gwyneth from left to right, with his head buried in Blanchett's ng breasts with his blouse turned up, sucking, and his right hand from behind Pull up Gwyneth's skirt, go deep into the front from the back, teasing non-stop at the bulge.

Even though they were far away, Liv could still hear faint voices. Then, they lay on the paved ground and started the most primitive activities in the woods. If she hadn't left secretly with a blushing face in the middle, I still don't know what would happen in the end. You must know that she had already put her hand between her hands before leaving.

Liv, who was ashamed as she thought about it and became more and more angry, couldn't help cursing again in her heart, and even kicked on the carpet, completely forgetting when Kate and Charlize had sex with Adrian last month , she didn't say anything, and she used to fly with Sarah and Adrian, and even tried in the garden.

"Okay, Liv, don't be like this, don't be so childish." Standing in front of the mirror, she said to herself inside, "It's nothing, isn't it? Just like before, don't care."

In fact, she did not have any conflicts with Blanchett and Gwyneth. Although they both knew each other's identities, they did not treat her as an outsider during the conversation. Gwyneth would be a little proud occasionally, but everyone Part of the time is fine. The reason why I am unhappy is probably because I always feel that I am inferior to them in terms of temperament. They can always give people a sense of elegance, but the deeper reason is probably... I am used to being alone with Adrian last month when?

Thinking of this, Liv suddenly punched the air fiercely, gritted her teeth and stared at the mirror, her mouth rose and fell, as if hitting Adrian in the face. Recalling the smirk he had when he refused before, it was obviously intentional, and maybe he also knew about the fact that she followed her up and peeped the afternoon before yesterday.

It's too hateful, I knew that after the coward blushed, Liv thought bitterly, but she couldn't help but have some thoughts in her heart.

Biting her lips and pinching her chin, she walked around the room a few times, the young girl clapped her hands and finally made up her mind. After tidying up her clothes a little, she untied her tied ponytail—after she started filming "The Lord of the Rings", Adrian liked the look of her long straight black hair—then left.

There was no one in the corridor outside, the two floors of the hotel were taken over by the film crew, and it was the weekend again, most of them went out to relax and would come back very late. Liv quickly came to the door of a suite. After looking around, she hummed and took out the key piece and entered the door. Apart from him, she was the only one who had the door key of Adrian's room. .

She tiptoed in, and then gently closed the door. Liv let out a long breath, and then walked inside. She was startled when she heard a noise coming from the room and a loud conversation within two minutes.

Didn't he go out with them? This is troublesome. Liv, who originally wanted to come over to play a prank, immediately retreated, but after the strange conversations gradually became clear, she stopped involuntarily.

"No...you can't do this...Sauron..." This was Blanchett's voice, groaning, with some grief and anger, but more of it...

"You have no choice but to submit to me, Galadriel, you are now my servant." This was Adrian's voice, low and arrogant.

"No...you can have my body...you devil...but you can't have my soul"

"Wrong, soon you will sink into your own **, soon you will lose everything you have, and soon your soul will completely succumb to me, ngling nv king"

Liv came to the concealed inner room, and while panting lightly, she listened carefully. Those noisy voices mixed in the conversation were clearer. Her guess was right, it was just doing that kind of thing. There are voices. The scene she saw in the woods the day before yesterday involuntarily popped up in her mind. She wanted to leave, but she couldn't take a step.

"Succumb to the will of the master, His Majesty Galadriel, you will receive supreme glory and eternal happiness." Gwyneth's voice sounded at this time, with yòuhuò, but also full of people Reminiscent of flamboyant moaning yín.

"Oh, why, Éowyn, why did you do this...wake up...you are the daughter of Ithilien...you are the shield-bearer of Rohan...you shouldn't be like this..."

"No, Your Majesty, I am just Master Sauron's servant now. Only when I serve Master wholeheartedly can I understand what the truth is. Let go of your reserve, Your Majesty, and see how charming you are now."

"I...I...Sauron...Master...I would like to be you...No...I can't...Can't..."

what are they doing This is... so strange... Liv, who was standing outside the door covering her mouth, couldn't help thinking this way, hearing another voice accompanying the words, her face was so red that it was almost dripping water. It's... so inexplicable, I should get out of here, yes, I should get out of here

At this moment, Adrian's voice suddenly sounded inside: "Ah, I feel that there is another elf here, yes, the elf that is destined to be mine is just outside the door, Bring her in, Eowyn"\u003c/p\u003e
