In late June, after grossing $27 million at the North American box office, Adrian and Kate arrived in London two weeks later. They visited Kate's family first, then Emma's.
The little girl looked very happy, her eyes were almost crescent, but she still ignored Kate. Well, occasionally there will be reactions, but either make a face or deliberately pretend to be "I don't like you". Although Kate is very depressed and resentful, she still shrugs her shoulders as helplessly as before.
"Well, don't worry about it, Kate. She's only two years old." On the way back to the hotel, Adrian comforts his lover while driving.
"I know she's just a 2-year-old, but..." Kate gestured and looked annoyed. "Even if she had a bad impression because she was excited to hit you, it was a bit too long?"
"It's not surprising, Kate. Children have a very good memory. They can remember a lot of things in a day, so when we were children, we always felt that every day was very long." Adrian shrugged his shoulders. "When she gets older and starts learning complex things, she won't keep this little thing in mind."
"How long will that take? Two years or three years? " "You know, you promised to take her to the set, that is to say, in the coming months, I will have to watch her look on the set."
Adrian came to London to make a movie instead of a vacation. Naturally, she couldn't live in Emma's house. The little girl was very unhappy, so Adrian had to promise to take her to the studio to make the little guy happy, although she didn't know what the studio was.
"Well, instead of thinking about this, it's better to think about how to give full play to yourself when the time comes. Otherwise, it's just the look of my eyes." Adrian laughed, but then became serious again. "I'm not going to let you off because you're my girlfriend, Kate."
"you'll see." Kate said confidently.
Three days later, the entire cast of Howards house arrived in London, including the new film emperor Anthony Hopkins. Although Hopkins always had doubts about Adrian's directing the film, after chatting with him and thinking for a long time, Hopkins finally decided to gamble with him.
"As ed said, there are things that have to be tried before we know what's going to happen. I'm optimistic about him." Hopkins told the agent, who was worried about his reputation.
Two days later, after Emma Thompson reported for duty, the crew went to Brenner manor, an early rented estate in the Northeast suburb of London, and began filming.
"Cut" Adrian suddenly cried out. The actors in the studio stopped their movements and looked at the director sitting not far away. There was no imaginary pointing or scolding, but Adrian's helpless smile.
"I'm sorry, I called it wrong," he sighed. "Everyone's in good shape. We'll start the next shot."
Kate on the set chuckled and Thompson covered his mouth, and Hopkins shook his head and lowered his head. All the way through, there was a lot of low chuckling.
Adrian didn't say anything and looked down at Emma in his arms. The little guy was still happy to grab his collar and pull it around. He didn't realize what he had brought. In the face of this situation, Adrian had to sigh heavily, which immediately attracted more laughter.
After about ten seconds, the laughter finally stopped.
"Relaxed?" Adrian glanced around and waved, "let's go on."
In fact, the story of Howard manor is very interesting. To put it simply, Thompson's Margaret and Kate's Helen meet the conservative Wilkes family by chance. Mrs. Wilkes and Marguerite had a good conversation, so she wanted to give the Howard estate to Margarita before she died. But her husband, Hopkins's Henry, thought it was a ridiculous decision, and so did his children, so they hid the will.
Then because of a series of things, Henry was attracted by Margarita, and finally married Margarita. Although Margaret always wanted to make the atmosphere of the two families harmonious, it did not work. Later, Helen invited her friend Leonard to Howard manor. Henry found out that Leonard's partner was his former lover, so he drove them away in anger, and Helen ran after him. But when she returned to the manor a few months later, she was already pregnant with Leonard's child. Charles, the eldest son of the Wilkes family, thought it was improper, and then accidentally killed Leonard, who arrived, and was put in prison.
In the end, Margaret took charge of Howard estate and lived with Henry, Helen and Helen's children, thus fulfilling Mrs. Wilkes' will, and the barriers between the two families disappeared.
Such a coincidence is so meaningful that it is no wonder that many people think Edward Morgan foster wrote a fable about life and marvel at it. There are still many people who believe that the Margaret sisters actually represent the new middle class in England at that time, while the Wilkes are naturally a conservative aristocracy. The disappearance of the barrier is to predict that the two classes will eventually come together.For Adrian, it doesn't matter what fables the novel tells. What matters is what kind of benefits it can bring to himself after being adapted into a movie. As a person who has been bombarded by information in his previous life, he actually doesn't like this kind of gentle and Implicit English style novels and movies. It's too boring for him to watch without enough patience.
But, all for the benefit, as long as the film can bring him the benefits he wants, he doesn't care to spend the time and energy to put it on the screen. Although for the director, especially for the director of literary and artistic plot, if you want to make such a film, you must have enough love for it, but Adrian is obviously among them.
It's a test, and I'm going to do it perfectly, Adrian said in his heart, watching the middle of the set.
It has to be admitted that Emma Thompson and Anthony Hopkins are excellent actors, especially Thompson, who portrays the implicit embarrassment in place. No wonder she can win the Oscar for best actress.
"Anthony, if you don't work harder, you'll be overshadowed by Emma." After filming this, Adrian laughs and quips, "bring out Professor Hannibal."
"Unless you want to see a Henry Wilkes who is ready to eat his wife, I don't recommend that." Anthony said humorously.
He was wearing a Victorian black suit with a big back and a long, graceful dress that matched Thompson.
"So you're watching Emma steal your thunder?" Adrian continued to tease.
"Well It doesn't matter. " Hopkins waved wildly. "Don't jump to conclusions. It's not finished."
"The limelight?" Just when Adrian wanted to say something, Emma, who was holding him in his arms and watching the scenery in the distance, suddenly turned her head and said, "what is the limelight?"
"I forgot, there's another Emma here." Adrian shook his head helplessly.
"What is the limelight? What is the limelight? " Emma asked, her eyes wide open, gripping Adrian's collar.
"The limelight is nothing, honey," said Adrian, glancing at the smiling Hopkins and Thompson, and Adrian patted the little guy on the head. "Remember what I told you? It's about to start working again. "
Although the little girl reluctantly, but also puffed up her cheek, but still closed her mouth, toot mouth appearance is really pitiful. However, within a few days, her lovely and clever appearance has already won the favor of the whole crew. In addition, many people have great sympathy for her after learning about her experience from Thompson.
It's a privilege for a lively child of this age. In the end, Adrian repeatedly explained that she could not lick trouble before she brought her. Although the little girl was naughty, she also understood that she could not make him angry. Therefore, although there were times when she interfered with the shooting, such as making too much noise unintentionally or walking into the camera accidentally, they were all within the acceptable range. What's more, even though she kept her previous attitude towards Kate, she was relatively hidden. I don't know whether it's an instinctive reaction or she really knows it should be like this. However, in terms of the future of the little guy "once", I'm afraid the latter is the majority.
"Gollin, are you ready?" Adrian then yelled to the head of the camera group.
"No problem" gerlin, who has already set up the camera, gives a thumbs up.
"Willat?" He then looked to the other side.
"All right." The makeup artist came in a hurry, followed by Kate in a long Victorian dress.
I have to admit that although her face is a little Oriental, she always shows the flavor of classical style when she is dressed like this. The charm of those British women full of temperament is probably here.
"All right, take your place and get ready to go." Adrian resisted the urge to come forward and say a few words to Kate and waved everyone ready to start.
Kate looked at him more, but said nothing, went straight to her place and began to wait. In fact, Kate never said anything to adriando since she joined the cast, even though most of the crew knew about their relationship. For her this kind of psychology, Adrian although in the heart does not agree, but on the surface can only shrug to show understanding.
