"Dan is only 21 years old, has a lot of acting experience, and has been praised by film critics. You should know that, Mr. Adrian, so I can't think of any reason for your refusal." A middle-aged white man sitting opposite his desk, gazing at Adrian, said sincerely that he was in his early 40s, his facial features were straight, but he could not hide his shrewdness.
This is Dennis's agent Roger Seidler, who came to Adrian's office to fight for Dennis's role as the young student in smell women.
"I understand what you think, Roger, but I can only say, I'm sorry." Adrian spread his hands.
Frankly speaking, Roger's eloquence is really good, and he can grasp the main points of the problem. He is very clear about Adrian's intention to cultivate Dennis, so he has been lobbying around this point.
"Not every actor works with a great actor like Al Pacino. I believe it's good for Dan. Why don't you let him have a try?" Roger went on.
Adrian pondered. Although he was busy this time, he didn't relax to watch Roger. He could see that he was a capable guy just by the ads he got for Dennis, so maybe he could know something.
"I don't think this role is suitable for Dan," Adrian slightly adjusted his posture. "I know Dan's ability is very good, otherwise I would not choose him to be the hero of" memory fragment "- he successfully let those people ignore his age. But that's exactly what happened. He shouldn't choose a role like Charlie
"You mean..." Roger had a keen grasp of what he said.
"That's right," Adrian nodded. "Dan has played a mature role from the beginning, even in Shawshank Redemption. It would be very embarrassing for him to play those young students again. Of course, if Dan really plays this role, I believe he will do well, and he looks very handsome, but it's easy for critics to change their perception of him. Once he puts some labels on him, it's not easy to change back. "
Some of the so-called labels, to put it bluntly, are said to rely on face to eat. Once they are recognized by public opinion, they will have a great impact on Dennis's development. There is no need to list such examples.
"Don't worry, Dan is an excellent actor. I have a long-term plan for him," Adrian said simply. "I suggest you get him some independent movie stars, Roger, so that you can train his acting skills and build up popularity."
"I see. I'll leave for the time being." Roger, who had some idea of what he was thinking, nodded and was ready to leave. But as soon as he got up, Adrian stopped him. "By the way, Roger, would you like to take on more business?"
Roger raised his eyebrows somewhat unexpectedly and looked at Adrian without speaking.
"You know, I have a lot of ideas. I often write some scripts. Although I can contact other companies directly, if I have an agent, it's more convenient to deal with them, isn't it?" Adrian said bluntly, "besides, my current girlfriend is also an actor and may be your employer."
After thinking about it for about two minutes, Roger nodded. "Yes, sir."
After Dennis's agent left, Adrian rested in his office for a few minutes and then went to the marketing department to ask about the progress. The first trailer of shawshank redemption has been released, but the feedback is extremely good. Most critics and fans have expressed their expectation.
If you think about it carefully, it's not surprising that people have such a reaction. Adrian's previous two films have achieved good results, while "Shawshank Redemption" only sees the trailer, it can barely be classified into the type of C film. Therefore, people naturally put a symbol of expectation in their hearts. With a sign of Stephen King, this film is more worthy of looking forward to Yes.
"We'd like to know what kind of chemical reaction can be made by Adrian, the wizard director, and Stephen King, the most famous horror novelist." This is what an article in the Los Angeles Times wrote.
Of course, there are also serious analysis. For example, a report in the Hollywood report said: "obviously, Adrian is trying to change his style. In this movie trailer, we can't see the coarse words in" two big guns "and the loss in" memory fragments ". It's a new feeling. We don't know whether the audience will accept it The change. "
Globegroup is very happy to see this kind of situation. After all, they have invested 10 million yuan, so they are more cooperative in propaganda. However, due to various reasons, the schedule may be arranged around Halloween.
Adrian had wanted to fight for it to see if he could adjust to the Thanksgiving schedule, but after careful consideration, he gave up the plan. The Thanksgiving Christmas season is the same as the summer vacation season. Many good movies will be released at this time, so the competition is very fierce. Especially for the Thanksgiving Christmas schedule, the Oscars' judging activities will begin after the new year. The closer the film is to the end of the year, the more impressive the judges will be.That's why he had the idea of Thanksgiving. After all, shawshank redemption was aimed at Oscar from the beginning. But the problem is that the competition in this schedule is too fierce. If you give up the box office for the sake of attention, it will be more than worth the loss. Moreover, the box office of the original shawshank redemption was a very bad one. Adrian is confident that he will not repeat the same mistake, but everything is better to be careful.
Anyway, it's November after Halloween. Besides, he doesn't expect to win any awards in the 64th Oscars. Moreover, the prison movies and ghost festival seem to match well, so we'll arrange it in this schedule.
After staying in the marketing department for a while and talking to the person in charge, Adrian left the company and drove back to his villa. To his surprise, by the time he walked into the living room, Kate was already there.
"Oh, ED, you're back at last!" With a brilliant smile, Kate rushed straight into Adrian's arms, and then put her foot around his neck to kiss him on the mouth.
After a while of not warm but very memorable kiss, Adrian took the girl's face and asked with a smile: "how can I come here today? Let me see, it seems to become more beautiful."
"Fool, did you forget that tomorrow is the weekend?" Kate pouted her lips in displeasure. "Fortunately, I came here in advance. If I expect you to pick me up in the car, God knows when to wait."
At this point, she suddenly coughed and blinked at Adrian: "really more beautiful?"
"Of course, how could I lie to you?" Adrian laughed, and every woman cared about the compliment, especially from her lover's mouth, even if she pretended not to care.
With that, Adrian's hand suddenly grabbed her compassionate collar and pulled it out, and his eyes glanced inside at the same time. "Let me see if it's getting bigger here - too bad, it doesn't seem to have changed much. Maybe you need a little massage?"
"Ed!" Kate immediately opened his hand in anger and looked aside. "Someone else is here."
Although the voice of the latter sentence was very low, Mrs. Galen raised her head not far away.
"Never mind. I didn't hear anything." Mrs. Galen shrugged her shoulders.
Adrian couldn't help laughing. Then he put his arm around Kate's waist and pulled her depressed into the sofa. "OK, I apologize. I'm busy recently, so I forget that tomorrow is the weekend."
Kate wanted to say something, but after staring into Adrian's eyes for a long time, she took Adrian's face and sighed.
"New movies?" Kate asked.
"Yes, but there's also the publicity of shawshank redemption." Adrian nodded.
"Why are you always like this, ed? How long has Shawshank's redemption just finished and is it about to start preparing a new film? You are not made of iron... " There was a trace of heartache in Kate's voice.
"Don't worry, Kate, honey, I have a sense of propriety," Adrian said, stroking her face and smiling. "It's only temporary. When I've finished what I want to make next year, everything will change."
Adrian doesn't really want to be like this, even though his body is surprisingly good (maybe a gift of rebirth?) Can be so continuous to shoot one film after another, in the spirit will still feel tired. However, there is no other way to make him accumulate enough prestige in a short time.
When the goal of next year is completed, I can end this situation and start to develop steadily. Then in two years at most, such situation as Pacino will never happen again! Adrian thought silently in his heart.
"Don't talk about it, Kate. Tell me about your school days? There must be a lot of interesting things to do just now. " Adrian changed the subject.
"Oh, of course, it's the first time I've seen American universities, which are so different from British universities..." Caighton spoke with great interest.
As soon as the California Academy of Arts opened, Kate moved into the university dormitory. The reason was that the school was too far away from Adrian's villa. Even if it took about 30 minutes to drive, and the road was clear, she still stayed in the school.
Adrian knows that Kate wants to work harder to enrich herself, not just to be attached to him as a vase. On one hand, it's a good thing. A girl with her own personality is beautiful and attractive; on the other hand, it's not a good thing. A girl with her own personality is very difficult to control. Although she follows him without reservation, who can not tell what will happen in the future. To know, his heart is very big.
Whatever it is, we'll talk about it later. Adrian looked at Kate's beautiful face and put the idea aside.
(call, recommend and collect. Next week, I want to change to three shifts a day, 2000 per shift)
