King of Hollywood

"Very good, this time is very good!" After NGing almost thirty times, Adrian finally stopped and said that this shot can pass. www.)

Both Jacques and Rachel on the set breathed a sigh of relief, especially Rachel. This is the most NG times since the filming of "Indomitable Front". relation. But Rachel had only started filming for less than two days, and she also knew that it was going well, so the pressure was much greater.

"Ten minutes of rest." After carefully checking the footage behind the monitor, Adrian announced immediately.

Then, he patted Jacques for a few words of praise, encouraged each assistant, and then came to Rachel McAdams who was in a daze: "Are you okay, Rachel?"

"Ah? Oh, Ed, I'm fine, I'm just..." Rachel, who was out of her mind, was taken aback. After seeing Adrian clearly, she quickly stood up and smiled embarrassedly. The two dimples made her look so cute.

"Don't be nervous," Adrian gestured, "Sit down, it's time to rest."

"Okay." Rachel nodded, and sat down according to his words, but her eyes kept rolling, and she still seemed a little nervous.

"Remember how you evaluated the role of Vivienne at the beginning?" Adrian asked in a relaxed tone, seeing it in his eyes, "I didn't have a common language with my husband, which led to the breakdown of the relationship between the two, right? Now It's been two days since you've played this role, and I think you've come to a fuller realization. So hold on to that opinion?"

These words made Rachel relax a little. She glanced at Adrian and shook her head: "Yes, I have gained more understanding, but I still have to maintain most of my previous views."

"Oh?" Adrian raised his eyebrows, and immediately made a "please speak" gesture.

"Vivienne and her husband do not have a common language is still the key to their separation," Rachel who was encouraged immediately said, "After I got the script, I carefully figured out the role and looked for a lot of relevant materials. Crucially, Johnny was married before he enlisted. There were many such marriages in World War II, and most of them were done in a hurry, and that's one of the main reasons they didn't have a common language."

Rachel paused when she said this, and Adrian nodded with a smile.

"So I still hold that opinion," Rachel went on, "but, based on some sources from the late fifties, I believe that Vivienne still wants to live with Johnny. After all, they already have children. , she also tried to understand Johnny's life, but their worlds were too far apart, so they ended up divorcing."

"Hmm..." Adrian stroked his chin and looked thoughtful. After finishing speaking in one breath, Rachel became a little nervous again, and carefully observed him.

"Let me read the script," he said. Then I brought Rachel's script over and spent a few minutes looking through it carefully.

"Okay, the next set of shots will not be shot for the time being, I need to change it a little bit," Adrian flipped the script in front of Rachel and said quickly. "Did you see this paragraph? You have to think about it, I need you to express a little helplessness while being angry, and integrate what you said before, is that okay?"

"This..." Rachel looked at him in surprise, "If you adjust now..."

"It's okay, if it's been a while. I wouldn't have made that change, but it's only been two days and you haven't fully settled into the character yet," Adrian laughed. "It's easy to make changes at this time, as long as you have the determination, so, are you willing to try it, Rachel?"

After not getting an answer for a long time, Adrian had to call again: "Rachel?"

Rachel, who was staring blankly at him, finally came to her senses, couldn't help but smiled awkwardly, and asked carefully after she collected her mind: "But I need time to reintegrate into the relationship."

"No problem, I can shoot other scenes first, and you can prepare it here. After today's scenes that have nothing to do with you are finished, let's try again, okay?" Adrian said immediately, followed He beckoned to the assistant director and several assistants, told them to start adjusting, and let someone inform Natalie that she was going to go into battle early.

Although the whole story takes place in the south of the United States, there is no need to go to the south to build a set for shooting like "Winter's Bone". If it is not for fear of being attacked, a biographical movie about a legendary country singer cannot find Tennessee in it For the scenery, Adrian even wanted to find a place in California or Texas for the location.

You know, in order to make the whole movie have the atmosphere of the 1950s and 1960s, he has spent a lot of effort. Not only did he invite veteran rock producers to play the soundtrack during the preparation, but he also performed a full range of music on Jacques and Natalie. In order to be able to perfectly imitate Cash and Joan in front of the camera, even the guitars and microphones are the products of the time, almost no digital technology is used, and the camera lenses are all older models.

Then I put more effort into the setting and costumes, and I naturally created the style of that time in front of the camera. In this way, the exterior scenes are concentrated in the back for shooting, and most of the shots can be completed in the studio, so today’s situation arises. Rachel has a new idea, and it is easy for Adrian to adjust. The main actors all in front of you.

In fact, it’s not that Adrian hasn’t thought about what Rachel was thinking about, but the current Rachel’s acting skills are somewhat inferior, and like Vera, the role he wants to play is older than himself, so he gave up. made this plan. But now that Rachel proposed it on her own initiative and said that she could do it, Adrian let her try it.

Of course, he was also clear about Rachel's further thoughts. When he told her that he planned to let her play a supporting actress in his new movie, Rachel's eyes sparkled. The vision of the director of miracles, the works of directors of miracles, the invitation of directors of miracles. What this means is self-evident, if she can become famous in the movie circle, then she doesn't need to act in TV dramas at all.

But Adrian won't do what she wants. If Rachel can satisfy him in the future, he doesn't mind giving him more sweets, but before that, let's go to the TV series honestly. "Lost" is no ordinary TV series. As for the role of Vivian, hehe, you know. Even if Cash and Vivienne end up in divorce, they still have at least four daughters. Now that both Cash and Joan have passed away, they will definitely not like this biographical movie about their father. However, "Moving Forward" describes the emotional journey of Cash and Joan, so it is necessary to favor Cash in terms of emotion.

So, predictably, wait until the movie hits theaters. How Cash's daughters would complain. As long as Natalie remains in the original state, Rachel will not have much room to play, and the final result does not need to be said.

In fact, it was because of Adrian that Rachel was cast as Vivienne. Otherwise, with so many women around, wouldn't it be better to let them come? Gave Rachel a favor. Let her have a goal that looks good, but without causing too many changes, isn't it good in one fell swoop? Of course, in addition to this, there is another reason for her to play the role.

"Hey. Rachel, do you have any other plans for tonight?" After today's filming ended, Adrian came to Rachel and asked after explaining the matter.

"Huh?" Rachel was stunned for a moment, then glanced around, and then showed a flattered look, "No. No, what's the matter?"

"Yes, I want to know if I have the honor to have dinner with you." Adrian said with a smile.

Rachel blinked her eyes, as if she didn't recognize him, and said after a while: "If it's just for dinner..."

"Thank you." Adrian immediately made a gesture of invitation, and then the two left the studio under the watchful eyes of the staff.

Although Natalie, who saw it in her eyes, maintained an indifferent expression on her face, she pretended not to see the surprised or admiring gazes cast by other people, including Jacques. But he couldn't help laughing bitterly in his heart, and at the same time he was even more uncertain about his future.

"Why, is there something on my face?" Adrian asked after driving the battery car to the parking lot and getting into his own car.

"No, it's just..." Rachel made a meaningless gesture, "Suddenly I feel...you are different."

"Oh? Why?" Adrian laughed, "I used to be terrible?"

"No, of course not, but..." Rachel waved her hands as if she didn't know how to describe it, "The impression you gave me before was..."

"A pure playboy," Adrian said, raising his eyebrows. "He's all about chasing women. Although he can talk, has some demeanor, is considerate to women, and is easy to get along with, he's just a womanizer, and his mind is full of thoughts. How do you get the woman you fancy into bed?"

"Well... this..." Rachel coughed dryly, and looked out the car window with some embarrassment, "I didn't say that."

Adrian, who had a panoramic view, chuckled softly: "But today, you suddenly felt that I was a little different. During the filming, I didn't say a single extra word, and I didn't mention anything unrelated to work, and I listened carefully to your opinions. And give full respect, and the appearance of the previous playboy is like two people. However, once the filming is over, his nature suddenly appeared again, and he invited himself to dinner in front of so many people. Who doesn't know that playboys are always uneasy about asking women out for dinner, so they had to declare in advance that it was just for dinner, but I didn't expect this guy to agree to it outright, it's really bad, he must have some kind of plan or conspiracy..."

After talking about it, Adrian began to deliberately put on a teasing tone, and Rachel couldn't help laughing when he heard it.

"I've always heard that while you're a great director and producer when you're making movies, you like to make sarcastic taunts on people who don't live up to your standards," said Rachel, after laughing, " So I will inevitably be a little worried, although... but fortunately, I finally understand that many rumors are not so accurate."

"I know who needs to be ridiculed and who needs to be encouraged. To be a good director, one must learn to observe," Adrian said leisurely. What are you thinking. You won’t know how to make them happy.”

"Really?" Rachel's face changed slightly, "That night...you weren't like this."

"So I want to make up for you today." Adrian said in a very sincere tone, "You don't want to give me this opportunity, do you?"

"You are such an unpredictable man, Ed." After a moment of silence, Rachel sighed, "Go ahead and drive, everything is up to you."

Speaking of which, the two women who had a threesome together the first time they met that night were very interesting, and they were both women who let it go, despite the circumstances. It will be affected by the atmosphere of the party to some extent, but if she is not a woman who can be ashamed, how can she agree to Adrian's hint?

But after that, Adrian and Vera went out to have a passion at a certain party, but they didn't reconnect with Rachel. She seemed to characterize her behavior as opening up channels, which was different from a formal date. Yes, so even though she acted much more proactive than Vera that night. But every time Adrian invited her, she ended up being rejected.

Although Adrian only asked out twice, she still managed to arouse his interest. Therefore, Rachel could refuse a date invitation, but she could not refuse a film offer, especially a supporting actress in a biopic directed by the director of Marvel himself. This is more attractive than the heroine of a TV series. So she finally agreed. In this case, how could Adrian allow his prey to run away, and the rest would be logical.

Of course, Adrian can't help but think that when she refused before, she might have more or less plans to retreat. Rachel? McAdams is not a simple girl. But so what? At least Rachel was to his taste. Moreover, she knows the situation and judges the situation correctly. As soon as he said this, she immediately agreed, so he didn't mind her being careful, so hurry up and play a few more times.

Speaking of which. There is one thing that should be understood. After watching the play for so long, Adrian has lost interest, but the world is always unpredictable sometimes.

"I'm going to Japan for filming next month, are you ready, Yukie?" After finishing the filming and returning to the mansion, I planned to go to Kate's place after a short break, and it happened that Yukie was at home. Adrian had to tease her a few words.

"Of course," Yukie always maintained that low-browed and pleasing attitude, "I have done a lot of training, and sometimes I even feel that I can be a geisha."

"Oh, be my personal geisha?" Adrian teased while taking off his coat.

"I will do whatever you need me to do." Yukie took the coat naturally.

Adrian smiled: "I will go to East Asia for a while, and I will definitely go to the studio. If you are still there, show me your hand then."

"Okay." Yukie bowed, then hesitated before saying, "Miss Anne Hathaway is here, in the study, about half an hour ago."

Adrian raised his eyebrows, looked at Yukie with his head lowered, and didn't say much in a timid posture, just nodded: "I see."

He followed the stairs to the second floor, and soon came to the door of the study room. The door was open, and one could see Anne with a pale face sitting on the single sofa. She was dressed very simply but formally, with a coat, The narrow knee skirt and high-heeled shoes are just a lot haggard, the bags under the eyes are also swollen, the hands are mingled together nervously and anxiously, and the eyes are staring blankly.

"Hi, Anne, Yukie said you have been here for half an hour, what's the matter?" Adrian walked in and asked in a relaxed tone.

Annie was startled at first, and after seeing Adrian clearly, a flash of determination flashed in her eyes, and she knelt down on the ground with a plop, hugging his leg and crying loudly: "Please, Ed, please! You, have mercy, forgive me, I didn't do anything, I really didn't do anything."

Even though she was already mentally prepared - there was no doubt that Annie must have cried in front of Yukie, otherwise she would not have let her in. But Adrian still didn't expect that she could do this. Without saying a word, she just knelt down and hugged her leg before begging. She was really willing to let go.

"Get up first, Annie, you're embarrassing me." Adrian sighed.

"No, Ed, please, no," Annie cried, kneeling on the ground and hugging his legs even tighter, "I didn't do anything, I didn't do anything...but the media said I was an accomplice... ...and the cops said there was evidence that I wasn't innocent...they said they were getting a search warrant and that the prosecutor was going to sue me...I really didn't do anything, Ed, please, please, please forgive me me!"

The mournful voice was enough to move anyone, but Adrian showed no expression at all. He tried to step back two steps, but Anne immediately moved her knees and followed, her arms still wrapped around his legs . It seemed that even if he kicked her upside down, as long as she didn't ask someone to throw her out, she would still crawl over and continue.

"Shouldn't you find a lawyer for this kind of thing? As long as you are really innocent, a good lawyer is enough to help you deal with everything." Adrian said with a sigh.

But Annie didn't answer, just curled up on the ground, grabbed his leg and kept crying, repeating in her mouth: "I was wrong, I'm sorry, I was wrong."

This woman... Adrian couldn't help but clicked his tongue twice in his heart. Although her vision was not very good, she still had some wisdom in her head, and she was able to save her face, figure out her situation, and know what the problem was. After that, when she puts aside everything - dignity, personality - and begs for mercy in the most humble way, it's no wonder that she was the same in her previous life, but she still managed to make a name for herself. To be continued. . )
