To be honest, which director and producer can be as good as Adrian? The first film won the Best Newcomer Award at the Venice Film Festival, and the second film won the Berlin Film Festival Jury Award. Although there is luck in this, it can not erase the excellence of these two films. Listen to the people in the circle call him: Director Guicai! These two low-cost and high box office films pushed Adrian to the top of the second-line director and producer. Lafayette is almost sure that after the release of Shawshank Redemption, he will be promoted to a first-line director and producer.
In addition, his writing ability is obvious to all. The scripts of these three films were written by him, and the first four scripts sold to various companies made money after they were made into films. In particular, the bodyguard, which was sold to Warner, was the most profitable of the four scripts. Although Warner company adjusted the schedule to mid July to avoid the sharpness of Terminator 2, so far, the box office in North America has exceeded 100 million yuan.
Not to mention the rest. And most importantly, it took him just over a year to do it! It took only about two months for two big guns to be filmed and produced, and three months for memory fragments. If it wasn't for him that he couldn't get away from Shawshank's redemption in London, it would have taken about four months at most. So even if Lafayette disagrees with this kind of rapid development, he has to admit that Adrian's vision and ability are unmatched. In this case, let's go with it.
"So, which one are you going to choose for your new movie?" Asked Lafayette.
"Of course, it's only necessary to make some changes to the original plot for which Italian film is remade," Adrian replied with a smile. "In fact, when I was in London, I had time to write part of the script. The rest was written by Julie, who was the best of the screenwriters at present."
"Well, what else?" Lafayette wrote this down.
"Put up the shelves as soon as possible. I hope it won't be more than the middle of September. Except for the hero, all the other characters and the shooting site are in the charge of various departments." Adrian pauses here, ponders for a few minutes, and then says, "I'm afraid you'll have to help me figure out a way to invite the hero, laver."
"Oh?" Lafayette raised his eyebrows.
"I intend," Adrian looked at him with a meaningful look, "to invite Al Pacino to play commander blind."
This is Adrian's new film.
Question: when you want to get the first place and know the answer, how can you guarantee to get it?
Answer: move the whole key calculation steps to the original.
Al Pacino won the best actor in the 65th Academy Awards for his role as blind Lieutenant Colonel Frank. So Adrian only needs to copy the film "smell the woman" and invite al to play the leading role. The rest depends on Lafayette's publicity and public relations. It's opportunistic and opportunistic, but Adrian doesn't care. As long as he can achieve his goal and the means are within the scope of the rules, he can do anything.
Although Lafayette didn't know this, he agreed with Adrian. It's very simple. Al, who became famous in the 1970s, has passed Oscar best actor several times. If he only looks at his acting skills, whether it's godfather 2, hot afternoon or justice, it's enough to get him a golden man. Unfortunately, Al's luck is not so good.
But now, this bad luck has become capital. Almost everyone knows that the film academy owes al a small golden man. As mentioned earlier, if competitors can not be far away from the quality, the factors that determine the outcome are other factors, and this qualification is also one of the factors. So as long as Adrian can really guarantee the quality, Lafayette is absolutely sure to push al into the best actor position.
In this case, let's go ahead. Although Adrian's incessant efforts to start making new films are astonished, they don't have many opinions. What he said over the past year is obvious to all.
In fact, if he could, Adrian would like to make one of the three films he was preparing, which gave Emma Thompson the best actress in "Howard manor.".
Howard manor is a novel written by Edward Morgan foster, a famous British writer. It is a typical English literature. It tells all kinds of helpless, embarrassing and unexpected stories about Howard manor between the two families. In a sense, the novel is more like a fable.
The reason why I wanted to make this movie first was because Adrian was sure to persuade Emma Thompson to do it. As one of the most famous actresses in Britain, Thompson is also a talented woman. She has her own opinions on the screenwriter and production of the film. In addition, the film is adapted from a famous British novel. As long as she can make her believe that he can make the film well, then she can promise it. In addition, Anthony Hopkins, another leading character of the film, also promised to cooperate verbally at the Berlin Film Festival.Unfortunately, although the idea is good, there is an unavoidable embarrassment, that is, "Howards house" is a real loss. This is a typical British Victorian style film. This alone can make many audiences lose interest in watching. In addition, the story itself is neither suspenseful nor breathtaking. It tells about things between people, so some audiences will be lost. In short, this is a very small number of literary and artistic films, how many box office can you imagine.
Of course, since Adrian decided to make the film, he would not care if he lost money, but it should not be now. Although "two big guns" and "memory fragments" made a lot of money for the film company, they also spent a lot of money at the same time. Let alone the expansion of the company, there are several films invested. It is not wise to lose money at this time. Therefore, he had no choice but to turn his eyes to the "smell women", but the film also had problems to solve.
As I've said before, Adrian would make Howard manor his first choice because he was sure to convince Emma Thompson. But it's not easy to change to Al Pacino.
Pacino is not like freeman or Robbins. He has been famous for a long time and has experienced too many things. He is the leading star in Hollywood. It is not easy to persuade the other party to take over the role.
All in all, Adrian's qualifications are too shallow. If he can keep his current momentum, these big stars will certainly not refuse to cooperate with him in three or five years, but now it is hard to say.
Facts have proved that his concerns are correct. Pacino's agent is a tough guy. He is not only tactful in his means, but also impeccable in his words and deeds. Adrian can't even talk to Pacino alone.
However, Lafayette did not have no way out. After several negotiations, he invited the other party to participate in the final audition of Shawshank Redemption, and finally passed the agent level, and then al himself.
"So, Al, I created this character from your image in the beginning, especially in the last part of the speech. I've seen a lot of your movies. You've had a lot of Manifesto monologues, dramatic performances and symbolic actions that no one else can perform. I hope you can take over the role Adrian said as he made an appointment to talk, making a slightly exaggerated gesture as if excited.
"I have to say, ED, you look like you have a lot more body language than I do now." Pacino laughed. In private, he was a good person to get along with. "Frankly, I also like the character frank and the speech. After reading your script, I went to see the Italian film. Although the main plot has not changed much, I think this lieutenant commander is more attractive than the captain, so I don't think I can say no
"I'm glad you agreed, al. I promise you won't regret it." Adrian then held out his hand.
"I'm sure you're not going to let me down." Pacino shook him with a smile.
It's much easier to get in touch with Pacino directly. This time, I only talked about it twice. Obviously, there is something in the script that appeals to Pacino. Otherwise, how could he "ever" take over the role? Of course, it had something to do with Adrian, so that when he left, Pacino's agent said to Lafayette: "you have a good boss."
In any case, Pacino has agreed to sign the contract after the negotiation of treatment. This will have to negotiate with Luciano's agent, eddad, but Adrian threw it directly to lavender.
Although the main goal has been achieved, it will take time to start shooting. Because the Shawshank Redemption needs publicity, the preparation of the new film is relatively slow. Moreover, the location of the film is troublesome - the school, the Waldorf Hotel, etc. - and the cast selection also needs manpower. Therefore, by the middle of September, the basic framework will be put up But it's going to take time.
It doesn't matter. Anyway, as a representative of the Methodist School, Pacino still needs to go to the Institute for the blind - admittedly, he is a dedicated actor and contacted the institution the day after signing the contract. So it's not a big deal to delay the time a little bit. This time, unlike the Shawshank Redemption, there are many big scenes scheduled. As long as the actors are in good condition, Adrian is sure to finish shooting in six weeks.
What's interesting is that he's dealing with other people's agents for the role, and there are other people's agents dealing with him for the role.
