King of Hollywood

Chapter 214: A Good Start

"You shouldn't come here, we agreed, I won't show it to you until I finish filming. www.)" Sophie said angrily to Adrian with her hands on her hips.

"Of course, of course, this was just an accident, my dear." Adrian smiled and raised his hands, and then glanced around. All the staff who were glancing at this side immediately lowered their heads, only Kayden Still looking at him and Sophie with curious eyes not far away.

"This accident wasted all my hard work. You saw the terrible script and how I directed it 'clumsily'. You must be laughing at me in your heart for making such a mess." Sophie encouraged He raised his cheeks and chattered endlessly, seemingly losing his temper, but in essence it was just...well...acting like a baby.

"I didn't laugh at you, Sophie. Last time I saw how you were a 'clumsy' director. To be honest, you have done a good job this time." Adrian laughed, " It’s a good thing that you have your own opinion, any good director should have his own understanding, instead of making it as it is written in the script, and it’s impossible to write everything in the script.”

After Sophie changed the heroine of "Supermarket Sleepless" to the heroine, although the theme plot has not changed, she is still dumped and lost in love, and then applies for a job as a night shift supermarket salesperson, and sketches for strangers in her head to pass the boring time. She wrote different stories, but she changed a series of short passages that showed the protagonist's character and attitude towards life.

Although Adrian hasn't watched the clips she filmed, he has turned over the script. There isn't much new in terms of words alone. But if Sophie can grasp it, it shouldn't be too far from the original version, after all, Sophie is a woman. It is within Adrian's expectation that she will find someone to operate on the script. Although it is relatively easy for women to understand men, it is only relative. She is forced to direct a movie with a male protagonist who is still inexperienced. , it is likely to end up with a four-dimensional finished product.

But it is much easier to switch to a female protagonist. Sophie just needs to put her own feelings into it, and put herself in that position to conceive how she will fantasize. Then show it in front of the camera, as long as it is controlled as much as possible within the frame Adrian created for her, then it will definitely not be a mediocre work.

"You've done a great job, Sophie. I'm not saying nice things. I've watched them all. No one works harder than you." Adrian put away his smile at this moment, wrapped his arms around Sophie's waist and said softly Said.

That's right, among other things, Sophie's act of refusing his intervention and personally revising the script shows that she is taking this short film very seriously, not to mention that the script at least looks good. In this regard, Sophie has indeed worked very hard. She has also achieved certain results. Although she has acted in so many movies, has the title of French man's love, and has published semi-autobiographical novels, people will compliment her as a talented woman no matter how many times she sees her, but she knows very well in her heart that I am always a vase in these eyes.

Only Adrian, who always encourages himself, is always thinking of ways to open up the future for himself, instead of just treating himself as a vase and a plaything. so. Even if he has various shortcomings, even if he possesses himself by coaxing, even if there are many women, Sophie is still willing to stay by his side from the bottom of her heart.

"After the production is completed, you are not allowed to criticize me." After staring at him for a while. Sophie put her hands on his shoulders and stood on tiptoe with her right foot. Pouted and continued to act coquettishly, "Otherwise, I won't reward you."

"Oh? What reward?" Adrian raised his eyebrows.

"How about a day trip to Paris?" Sophie's eyes were bent, flashing an inexplicable light.

"Last time we had retried the one-day trip to Paris." Adrian was unmoved.

"But I didn't go to the Eiffel Tower, nor did I go to that small cinema." Sophie smiled meaningfully, and Adrian couldn't help but narrowed his eyes.

The so-called "one-day trip to Paris" refers to the time when he and she messed around in Paris. Sophie wrapped up a windbreaker and played around with him. The alleys near the main street, the corridors of the Paris Opera House, the dressing rooms of the Galeries Lafayette, the hidden corners of the Louvre Museum, the bridge openings of the Alexander III Bridge, etc., have left their traces.

Then, at the Cannes Film Festival last year, because of Scarlett’s incident of teasing him in public at the film festival, Adrian deliberately stayed with Sophie in Paris for a few days, so he took her back on the original route once. But he didn't go to the Eiffel Tower, nor did he go to the small theater at the beginning. Although he mentioned it, he didn't take action for some reasons, so Sophie is now using this to lure him.

Of course, Adrian has nothing to do with this. It was one of the things he was most proud of at the time when he had sex with the woman most wanted by French men on the landmarks of Paris. Not long ago, he had a good relationship with the Eiffel Tower in Las Vegas. It must be fun to have fun with Alizee, a French girl singer, and go out with Sophie.

"No problem." He replied with a smile, and then noticed something glanced at Kaiden not far away.

Although Kaiden turned around and lowered his head immediately after discovering his movements, Adrian still noticed the trace of jealousy on her face, and she had watched their intimate situation from beginning to end before. , so you can guess what you are thinking.

Although all women are happy when they are alone with him, he can always make them feel his respect, even if it is sometimes pretended, but it is well concealed, but the worst thing about this kind of thing is comparison. When alone together, a woman feels that a man treats her very well, very gentle and considerate, but when she sees him treating other women in the same way, she will feel that he is not as good to herself as he is to that woman, especially his attitude is indeed different .

Even if Kaiden sold himself to Adrian like Liton, Keeley, and Amanda, it is inevitable that he will feel jealous in his heart, which is why Adrian seldom pulls all women to There is a reason for the same occasion. certainly. Certain parties are excluded.

"Why, you fell in love with the heroine I found with great difficulty?" Sophie followed his gaze and raised her eyebrows with a cold snort.

"Of course not, I didn't watch it, I just watched it." Adrian smiled playfully.

Sophie froze for a moment, then turned to look at Kaiden in disbelief, and flicked her fingers back and forth for a while before uttering the words: "You have..."

"Yes, so I'm curious, how did you find her to play the heroine?" Adrian said with a smile.

"Oh, hell." Sophie covered her forehead and stared at him sullenly, "This is a short film with a low cost, of course it is impossible to use some well-known actors. So I can only choose among newcomers, and then an agent I recommended her to me. After the interview, I thought she was pretty good, but she was a little too beautiful, but during the audition, she showed good acting skills, so she settled down, but dyed her hair maroon."

Good acting skills? Adrian raised his eyebrows involuntarily. No one else saw the private video with Kaiden. Well, this is just a joke, his impression of her acting skills is probably only those movies in her previous life, and such acting skills cannot be shown in bed. Kayden is not ** again and again. But... According to the feedback from the training institution, she does have some talent in acting, not as good as Amanda and the others, but better than Jessica and Megan.

"That's it?" he asked with a smile.

"That's it," Sophie rolled her eyes, "If I knew she had already climbed into your bed, I wouldn't use her as the heroine. Fortunately, it will be finished soon, otherwise..."

Adrian couldn't help laughing, and stopped entangled in this topic: "Okay. That's it, finish the short film as soon as possible. If you have enough time, you can participate in many film festivals."

But he blinked again: "However, I can't accompany you back today."

Sophie glanced at Cayden who was getting ready. Probably guessing a little bit of Adrian's thoughts, he shrugged immediately: "Do whatever you want."

"Sleepless in Supermarket" was originally a short film. It is relatively easy to shoot, not to mention that Sophie has been directing for a long time. Although there are some twists and turns for some reasons, it is still completed.

"This is your first official movie appearance, Kayden?" After letting Kay board the battery car, Adrian looked back and forth between him and Sophie, who was still packing up, regardless of the crew members' surprised eyes, and then launched The car drove out.

"Yes." Kaiden smiled and nodded, very charming and charming, "I was introduced by my agent, I didn't plan to go, you said, I have to work hard for a period of time before I can become a qualified actor But then I heard that it was directed by Sophie Marceau, one of the Miracle Girls, which made me very curious, and I also like "Braveheart", so I agreed after hesitation, but I was afraid that you would blame me, so I didn't Tell you."

He is very good at talking, even if he feels jealous, he suppresses it in his heart, and knows that it is good to win Sophie. Adrian smiled with satisfaction. From this point of view, Kayden is a little smarter than Keeley, but then again, Keely's pampering is just not thinking so much for a while. In front of Kate and Sarah, she is very well-behaved, eh , it might be nice to make them a couple.

"I'm glad you think so, Cayden," Adrian put his hand on her chin, "You know what I like, so just do it and don't think about other things all day, understand? "

This was said very bluntly, but Kaiden showed joyful eyes: "I will definitely."

This is the difference between Kaiden and Leighton, Amanda, and Keeley. Although they are all based on transactions, Leighton and Keeley were both young when they were collected by him, and they have enough time to influence and transform them. , let them know his preferences. Amanda is a little later, but she is very smart and knows how to choose, not like some stupid idiot with bad eyesight... And Kaiden said before that she collected it because of bad taste. At that time, her three views It has basically taken shape, so I have to beat her so unceremoniously from time to time.

Of course, Kayden is not lacking in cleverness, and he is a little better than Ji Li in this respect, so Adrian doesn't need to worry that she will follow in the footsteps of some idiot for the time being--reading the recent newspaper, that idiot should be Maybe there is nothing you can do in panic?

After asking about Sophie's short film, "Go Forward" finally officially started in Studio 16. The first play is. Well, Cash's conversation with Elvis backstage. Cash and Elvis belonged to the same record company back then, and they were both influential figures, so there must be intersections with each other.

However, in view of the huge influence of Elvis Presley, and although the two people seem to have a good relationship in public, it is said that there are many conflicts in private, so Elvis Presley also came out to show his face and gave Cash as a senior. Some advice, not even mentioned by name, of course. You can tell who it is by that outfit and attire.

"Is this a warning to me?" Jacques, who was preparing for the activities, took a deep breath and asked half-jokingly.

"Don't worry, Jacques, Elvis Presley won't beat you up." Adrian responded humorously by patting him on the shoulder.

"But Ed might, if you mess up. Jacques." Silver, who came with him, immediately followed.

"Is that why you think I screwed up, Silver." Jacques looked annoyed.

"Of course not, but you also know that this is a competition. Although you are my brother, Rui Fan is also my brother, so..." Silver shrugged innocently, "I am on Rui Fan's side .”

Adrian laughed first, Jacques was stunned for a while, and then smiled wryly. And Rui Fan, who also came over to cheer up his younger brother, also spread his hands helplessly. Silver knows that Adrian is going to direct two films, with the Phoenix brothers as the leading actors, and he has also read the scripts of the two brothers, although it seems that Jacques's celebrity biography is more in line with Oscar's taste, but he still firmly supports Rui Fan, God knows why he likes Big Brother more, he doesn't look like he wants to be the supporting actor in Rui Fan's new movie.

With laughter, the tense atmosphere before was completely swept away. In fact, Jacques said that at the beginning to adjust the atmosphere. It can be seen from this that he is a very good actor who will cooperate with the director and take care of the overall situation. There is no director or producer who does not like such an actor.

But the one who laughed the loudest was Lindsay Lohan, who was intimately holding Silver's arm. Seeing how they develop so quickly, I don't know if they can persist. And Silver has to be careful, Lindsay will not turn 18 until next year, if this appearance is photographed by reporters, it will inevitably cause a storm.

Because the atmosphere was adjusted, the first shot of the whole movie passed quickly. Of course, this shot was actually very simple, and then it was more formal shooting.

"Is she ready?" Adrian asked aloud.

"Two minutes." An assistant looked into the trailer, then raised two fingers.

Soon, the heroine, who had put on makeup, came out from inside. She wore a bright red velvet skirt with lace, and her curly hair hung down her shoulders. She was dressed like a typical country singer in the 1960s and 1970s. I have to say that the make-up artist's skills are quite excellent. It is obvious that this is Natalie Portman at a glance, but it feels vaguely similar to Joan Carter. Of course, this has something to do with Natalie's full understanding of the role, but the work of the makeup artist really made the whole movie a lot more colorful.

"Very good, Natalie, are you ready to start singing?" When Natalie came over, Adrian asked after looking at the studio that had been set up as a stage.

"No problem." She nodded seriously and cleared her throat again, looking a little nervous.

"Then, everyone takes their places." Adrian waved his hand, handed over these matters to the assistant director, and sat on the chair behind the monitor by himself, staring at the stage while watching the monitor.

As the record was announced, the music started two or three seconds later. Accompanied by guitars and other instruments, it seemed cheerful, unrestrained and enthusiastic. Then the people on the stage began to jump up, and Natalie seemed to be a different person. , with a passionate smile on his face, he lifted his skirt and swayed his body quickly to the beat, then jumped to the microphone and sang.

The voice seemed a bit weird, as if it was deliberately high-pitched, but Joan Carter's singing style was like this, and Natalie handled it very well.

"...I put a coin in the jukebox to hear it play. I don't know which song to listen to..." She sang briskly, although she could still hear the slight difference in some turns— When Adrian was preparing for the work, he stopped the songs of Johnny Cash and Joan Carter selected for the movie dozens of times. With his good memory, even the smallest differences could not escape his attention. ear.

But as a song in a biographical movie, Natalie's singing is undoubtedly qualified, so this scene, Joan Carter's first appearance in the story, basically passed quickly. In the middle of the show, there was a delay because the actors had to stop to rest and touch up their makeup due to the hot dance, but the rest basically went smoothly.

"Nice job, Natalie." After the scene ended, Adrian clapped his hands.

"Thank you." Natalie, who breathed a sigh of relief, immediately recovered her previous calm look, and gave Adrian a simple smile.

Adrian didn't care, but slapped Jacques on the back vigorously: "Now it's your turn, kid, don't tell you, you are worse than Natalie."

"How is it possible!" Jacques said confidently, "Natalie can do this, so can I!"

Facts have proved that he did not lie. After the shooting started, Jacques sang and danced with his guitar in his arms. Natalie did a lot of preparation work, and he also did a lot of preparation work. He started practicing after getting the script And the Phoenix boys all have great voices, so he's better at Johnny Cash than Natalie is at Joan Carter, and he's really good for the role.
