Chapter 70 Role Arrangement

"At the premiere, the auditorium was filled with hundreds of seats! They all loved this movie, they liked it very much, especially every time I appeared, they laughed, My aunt said that I was doing a great job, and she said that the media said the same thing. "In the restaurant of the five-star hotel in Lugu Ski Resort, Park City, little Emma waved her spoon and said with an eyebrow.

"Well, Emma, ​​beware of throwing the salad from your plate onto Liv's clothes," Adrian said with a smile.

"I won't, don't treat me as a child, Ed, otherwise I will be very angry!" Because the conversation was interrupted, little Emma pouted her mouth and threatened.

"Emma is just a little excited. Although she has played some movies and I was excited after the release of" Apocalypse, "I didn't do anything that would affect others." Liv, sitting next to him, was small Emma defends.

"Let me remind you, Liv, you didn't like the movie" Apocalyptic "at the time. Do you remember how you reacted when you first read the script? You said, there is more than a story about letting oil workers save the world Is it outrageous? "Adrian smiled at Liv's blue eyes with a smile." Even if you didn't mention this, you were much bigger than Emma. If you do things that affect other people, oh **** Ah, poor Liv must have drunk too much. "

Liv couldn't help but glance at him, then leaned towards Xiao Emma and said to her, "Do you know, Emma, ​​I hate Ed's solemn appearance. Whenever this time, I really want to face his nose. Come and punch. "

"That's so boring, my friend Charlotte told me a better way," said little Emma, ​​holding Adrian and smiling, "while Ed was asleep, he suddenly poured a large bucket of ice cubes. Into his quilt, it must be very exciting! "

"I love this idea! Awesome, let's try it tonight!" Liv cheered cheerfully, and looked at Adrian with little bad intentions together with little Emma, ​​it seems that she is currently There are no signs of wanting to grow up.

"Okay, okay, let's discuss it slowly here. I'll be out of the company for the moment." Adrian shook his head and sighed, and stood up, what did Emma instill in her? Wouldn't she have instilled it in Lili?

But now there is no time to analyze this, Adrian has other troubles to deal with, such as the two women who seem to be talking to her.

"Why not spend more time with Emma? By the way, and ... Liv." Although Julia's tone sounded careless, the pause in speaking Liv was enough to explain everything.

This is why Adrian will arrange Sofia to sit with her for dinner. Although he and Sofia have also gone to bed several times, they are not at least as close as Liv or Sophia does not want to appear too close to him.

"They're discussing how to make me suffer. In order to make them talk more interesting and make them more detailed plans, so I came here." Adrian shrugged, "No interruption You guys? "

"It's funny, Ed," Sophia said with a chuckle, "I think there must be a lot of women who want to join their discussion."

"Actually I thought." Julia Adam said immediately, adding perfectly, well, it was right to have them at a table and stay a little further away from Liv.

"Just stop hitting me, how about a different topic, such as movies, you have been here longer than me, and you must have gotten more than me-yes, Sophie, I have met several film critics, They think "Little Sunshine" is better than "Innocence", what do you think. "Adrian didn't talk about it any more, and easily moved to other aspects.

This is a good topic. As Adrian said, they have been in Park City for several days, and each of them has different movies to support, so it is bound to be all about it. If the relationship is good, women usually don't argue about the outcome, so they need an arbiter, and Adrian has always played this role well.

He does n’t go to mud when he does n’t need it. Take the two films “Innocence” and “Little Sunshine”. Although Sophia did a good job of filming and conveying the feelings well, but first with her The previous theme has been repeated, and the second one still looks unpretentious, which is a bit inferior to "Little Girl in the Sun".

The characteristic of "Little Sunshine" is that the previous 80% of the content is constantly being suppressed, and the main characters in it are constantly failing. Even if the father kneels in exchange for the opportunity for his daughter to take the stage, the end result is Ordered not to participate in any beauty pageant in California in the future. Then, when they pushed the van hard to start, and ran and laughed and got on the car, the feelings released at that moment could easily infect the audience.

If "Innocence" is a light cup of green tea, and if there is any fragrance from beginning to end, then "Little Miss Sunshine" is a glass of mellow whiskey, which is a bit spicy at first, but it is difficult to end up with. The strong aftertaste of parting. For the average audience, it is self-evident that movies of that rhythm are preferred.

"I thought you would say a lot of good things, without mentioning the shortcomings at all." When Julia returned to the room, she stood at the door and said to him.

"Sophie is not a good actor, but she is definitely a good director. She has a clear and correct understanding of herself here, so she will not be frustrated by these shortcomings. Besides, there are still many people who like this movie." Adrian replied with a smile, and it was too easy to guess what Julia was thinking.

"It seems you know Sophie, too." Julia snorted softly.

"It's true, but ..." Adrian approached her, reached out and squeezed Julia's chin gently, watching her eyes narrow, "I know you and Liv better, if you want, better Come and chat with me in Liv's room, and I promise you will recognize a new one! "

He said he held her waist, took her into his arms, and looked at her condescendingly. For a moment, Julia couldn't speak, so she easily digested the words, and she was ready to speak. She had her mouth blocked by Adrian as soon as she moved.

After a rush of kisses, Julia finally reacted and pushed Adrian away, glaring at him with a bit of resentment, but then sighed and finally entered her room with helplessness.

It's really exciting. When the door was closed in front of him, Adrian capped his chin and thought about it. Half of Julia's appearance is because of Liv, and the other half ... At least for now, he did have the idea of ​​breaking in and teaching her a good meal. It is a pity that Adrian is Adrian, after all, since he has promised to accompany Liv, how can he regret it?

The closing ceremony of the Sundance Film Festival is on the 28th, and it is also the award ceremony. Adrian does not plan to stay there until then. I have walked on the crowded streets of Park City, exposed in front of the media and communicated with many people in the circle, watched several movies in various cinemas and took photos with some movie fans, and played at the best Lugu ski resort here ,Will suffice.

Although the influence of the film festival is OK, it is not necessary to treat Sundance like Cannes. If nothing unexpected, if Sundance is like Robert? As Rayford claims, it won't be too difficult for Little Sunshine to get a feature film award. Adrian has a rough understanding of all the entries, and there is nothing that can threaten the film.

But before leaving, Harvey? Weinstein came again.

"Don't tell, Ed, you're going to give us a pirate-themed movie!" Weinstein yelled as soon as he entered the door, the flesh on his face trembled, and the reserved stubble followed. Tremble.

"Calm, Harvey," Adrian, who was already packing, smiled and poured him a glass of whiskey. "Is there anything wrong with this?"

"Not right? God, how long has the" Crimping Throat Island "thing passed!" Weinstein sighed. "Pirates, treasure maps, treasures, these things will definitely be very popular for 20 to 30 years. But now, it will only bring disaster! People are tired of pirate themes, even song and dance movies are better than pirates. "

"So I asked the screenwriter to add fantasy elements and enrich the character's character. The cursed gold coins would turn into skulls on the full moon night. Some sissy selfish ones can always find a way to rewind at a critical moment. Captain, the little blacksmith who deeply admires the Governor's daughter, and the Governor's daughter who is eager to take risks. "Adrian raised his hands.

"But ..." What else did Weinstein want to say.

"Well, Harvey, you still believe that I can give you a trilogy series with a global box office of over one billion. Why don't you believe this is it?" Adrian reached out and pressed in the air. "You have read through With the script, as one of Hollywood's best producers, I believe you can see its potential. "

"I admit that the fantasy elements are attractive, but the subject of pirates is a bit risky." Weinstein did not hide his thoughts.

"Yes, after 95 years, pirate-themed movies have basically disappeared in Hollywood. However, there is no subject matter that will never be unpopular. As long as it disappears long enough, the audience will start to miss it. A new idea will inevitably lead to a short-term revival, "Adrian said with a smile." Like a song and dance film, I'm going to make a song and dance film this year. "

"Don't compare ordinary people with you, Ed." Weinstein shook his head.

"Thank you for your compliment, Harvey, don't worry, I prepared a luxurious facelift for you. Is your relationship with Johnny Depp good? Is he a good fit for the crazy Captain Jack, and Captain Barbosa can be made by Jeffrey Rush will play, Jerry Bruckheimer will be very willing to serve as executive producer, the director can choose Gore Wibinski, in addition to the little blacksmith, and the heroine has yet to grow, the other basic There are candidates, "Adrian Yang said.

"You are so considerate, Ed, is the heroine really not Liv? Miss Taylor?" Weinstein was still thinking about that problem.

"Of course not, I won't let an American actor play a British role." Adrian couldn't help laughing.

"But you've done that already in The Lord of the Rings." Weinstein continued to refute.

"Although The Lord of the Rings is British literature, it is not something that happened in the UK-come on, Harvey, instead of entanglement in this matter, it is better to start the preparatory work, just to transform the studio into a suitable The environment will take several months, prepare ships, teach several protagonist swordsmanships, and invite people to study the customs, dress details, daily life, navigation and military conditions, etc. You still have to go to the Caribbean island for field shooting. These things will be enough for you for more than half a year. "Adrian sighed." In short, get ready, Harvey, when I said yes, I The heroine will be handed over to the crew, remember to arrange a relevant teacher for her, and start at the end of this year at the latest. "

"Well, it seems that you are ready to go back, then listen to your arrangements." Weinstein stood up and said for a while.

I have to say that there is a trump screenwriter and the title of wise eyes is really useful in Hollywood, Ted? Eliot and Terry? Rossio has collaborated with many screenplays and wanted to create a pirate story as early as the early 90s, but not many producers were interested in their ideas at that time. The pirate-themed movie after the fiasco of "Clotch Island" at the box office in 1995 It was even more obsolete, and they had to put the idea down for a while.

At the beginning of 2000, Elliot mentioned it again, and Rossio agreed, so they found a way to get in touch with Universal Pictures, and they hoped that Director Miracle would support this idea. At first, Adrian didn't care, because it was a very ordinary pirate story, very real, nothing else.

Fortunately, he soon came to his senses, although the story is not the same as his memory, at least the shaping of these characters, such as the sissy captain betrayed by the first officer and the crew, such as the governor's daughter who longs for adventure and loves him Little blacksmith. So he quickly met with Elliot and Rossio, talked to them about their ideas, and asked if they could add some fantasy elements. After receiving a positive answer, he told his thoughts in detail. The two screenwriters Naturally agreed, so the script for "Pirates of the Caribbean" was released, and Adrian later used it to seduce Weinstein.

The only thing that is a bit troublesome is that Kayla in 00 was obviously not qualified for the role of Elizabeth, so Adrian delayed a year later and used two movies to hone her acting skills. Although the age of Kyla who started shooting in 2001 is still There are still some problems, but there is no one year from the preparatory stage to the production of "Pirates of the Caribbean", and this problem will not be a problem at that time.

As for the Pirates of the Caribbean at Disneyland? Don't worry about it at all. The name Pirates of the Caribbean is not exclusive to Disney. Besides, Adrian has made people register a series of trademarks in movies, games, toys and other categories. If it wasn't for Eisner's mood, maybe the trademarks of large entertainment facilities would also be registered. Who would have made Disney not do it?

The final result of the Sundance Film Festival is exactly the same as Adrian expected. Little Sunshine finally won the plot award. Although there is such a short **** story in it, the impact is not large. The side evidence is that the **** community is expanding and becoming more active. Sophia's "Innocence" won a special prize in the drama category of the jury, which is a pity. According to reliable information, she passed by a vote difference and the director of the drama category.

Nevertheless, "Innocence" has taken this opportunity to enter the public's attention. Although there is a repetition of the theme with "Girl Suicide", it is still more criticized than criticized, and Liv's performance has also won the majority for the first time. Obviously, the positioning of literary vases is still very suitable for her. The next step is to arrange a screening. The number of theater lines may not be many, but this movie was not originally made for money.

So "Innocence" is still better than "Little Sunshine", as I said before, compared to the audience, the story of "Little Sunshine" is more attractive and the atmosphere is more positive, so it is very popular with film critics, Ai Ma? Roberts also received more attention and praise than Liv. You have to know that she has an aunt in Hollywood just like Rizhongtian, which other actresses can't match.

Facing the reporter's attention, Little Emma was very happy and she called Emma to show off. What a fool, it's too early to show off. If you wait until next month ... I don't know what her biological parents would think. They haven't seen many times in recent years. Julia hasn't completely forgiven her brother.

However, this is the housework of Little Emma, ​​and Adrian is not suitable for intervening for the time being, so the things to be concerned about are the upcoming movies and upcoming films, such as "Speed ​​and Passion".

This movie was dragged around in 2001 after going around ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ After Penelope was driven back to Spain, although Michelle was quickly found? Rodriguez replaced, but after all, the film has already been made, and it will take a lot of time to completely remake the most supporting actress. Then it was delayed until the second half of the year because of some things. In the end, Adrian calculated the situation in 2001 and finally arranged in the January schedule.

Although it is the off-season, the media has various speculations that Penelope left the crew and returned to Spain, and it may not be very difficult to get fired.

In addition, Adrian originally wanted to arrange "Rush Hour 2" in January, because the script of "Western Veyron" was never shot in his hands, so "Rush Hour 2" was produced in advance. However, after careful consideration, I still put it in the summer vacation in August. There are not many roles suitable for Yuji Hui-yes, the important supporting actress in the original starring Yuki Hui. As for the script, you can modify it slightly, Jack? Chen has no opinion on this.

The same is true for "Western Dragon". The reason why the preparation is only started now is because Adrian left this role to Lin Zhiling, with the highly acclaimed "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" to pave the way for her, even if this role Comparing vases is enough to take her to the next level—Jack? Chen still has no opinion.

But now Adrian is paying most attention not to the preparation of "Western Dragon", but to the casting of "The Princess Diary" ... Q
