There is no suspense. There are 2500 theaters and 37 million box office tickets in three days of the weekend. This is the data of "the vampire at night". It's amazing. The only one that can match the competition in the whole summer vacation is tornado. It has to be admitted that vampire is a lasting theme in European and American literature and movies, which also shows the popularity of Anne Rice's novel.
The reaction of the critics has changed from that of previous films. Although the night visit to the vampire is still more commercial, the original novel still deeply depicts and discusses human nature and loneliness, which are indispensable in the review.
"Although Neil Jordan changed some of the plots, the whole movie has more humanitarianism, giving people more thought and aftertaste. I have to say that the actors surprised me, whether it was Lester of Tom Cruise, Lewis of Blatter Pitt, or Claudia of Kirsten Dunst. Although Antonio Banderas's plays are not as many as theirs, they are also quite brilliant. Even the guest role of the journalist, rivan Phoenix, has also given people a deep impression ——This is mostly praised.
"Well, it is also acceptable to regard the director's modification of the plot as a way to make it suitable for more audiences. But as an actor, I always thought Tom Cruise was a wrong decision to play Lester. Yes, he does look sinister, but don't forget that in the original works of Ms. Anne Rice, Lester is a pretty boy with an angel face. I can't see where Tom Cruise is suitable. It's the little girl, Kirsten Dunst, who is amazing. If you want to choose the best performer, I'll vote for her ——This is with criticism.
Generally speaking, it is still in favor of positive comments, especially after the appearance of Anne Rice's long-term comments.
“…… I have expressed dissatisfaction with the crew's modification of some plots, but Adrian told me that words and movies are two different things. They have the same place, but also have different places. Not all words are suitable for turning into images.
I finally compromised, of course, not very willingly at the time, just as I thought Tom Cruise wasn't suitable for Lester, but couldn't change the crew's decision.
However, it has now proved that Adrian's views are correct. He proposed to modify the plot in a small scale, which is very popular now. He proposed to use Tom Cruise to play Leicester, and Tom did it perfectly.
Yes, he is very excellent. Brad, Kirsten and Antonio have done very well. Especially Kirsten, during the shooting, people doubted more than once that there was a 35 year old soul hidden in her body, but the best one was Tom. Both the appearance and the acting skills were in line with Leicester's characteristics... "
This is Anne Rice's long review published in the New York Times. At the beginning, she announced that she would write a long review after the movie was released. She really liked the adaptation of this version, so she used the word "masterpiece" in the article.
The original author praised it so much, and the critics did not say much. Who else has more say than Anne Rice? Cruise is naturally complacent, he once again proved his strength, must admit, in the early and mid-1990s he had a lot of excellent films.
Brad Pitt also took this opportunity to further establish his new star status, but it is difficult to say what will happen in the future, because of Adrian's appearance, his future has become fragmented.
Continue to walk down the road of idols, other still don't think about. This is Adrian's position for him.
As for Kirsten, she finally got what she wanted. All the media will praise her performance. In addition, Adrian also made full use of the media in her hands to promote her performance. Now all the praise words used on Natalie are put on her.
"She's the most talented little girl I've ever met, and Ms. Rice is right. She has a 35 year old soul in her body." "I'm very grateful for what you've done, and I hope to continue to appreciate it in the future," said Harrison seaman, a well-known film critic Although excited and proud of the flood of spotlights, Kirsten did not forget to call Adrian, and the giggle was quite pleasant.
"Yes." Adrian's answer is very simple, watching her grow up in her own control, adjust to the way she wants to eat, which is also a very fulfilling thing.
But to Adrian's surprise, it was the reporter's Raven Phoenix who, as some media have said, was impressive even if it only appeared at the beginning and the end. It's funny that many reporters wrote about last year's Halloween, saying that he finally came out of the shadow of drug abuse, regardless of the scene, which was shot before October 30.
What's more, he didn't expect that rivan had won a role in "the line of fire" that brought together two stars, Al Pacino and Robert De Niro, which should have belonged to Fang Kimer. It is said that the director of the film, Michael Mann, who is known for being picky and slow to work, praised him after watching his audition.Worthy of being Venice's youngest film emperor, Adrian praised the news in his heart. After "the line of fire" comes out, we might as well see how much brilliance he can shine in front of the two film emperors, and then we can arrange works suitable for him according to this arrangement. Jackie Phoenix and silver Phoenix can start now.
Two weeks later, in September 1994, the vampire night has taken 60 million box office hits in North America and is firmly on the list of "are you a gold medal producer now?" This is the title of the Los Angeles Times, as if to add persuasion. The letters are black and thick, occupying a small part of the page.
"We all know that he is a Hollywood super scriptwriter, a Hollywood miracle director, and maybe now he should be named a gold medal producer. If we have a little more in-depth study, we will find that five of the top-selling films in this year's summer show are all from Bosworth film industry. Although the two largest productions were invested and released by 20th Century Fox and Warner, it is interesting that there is always a familiar name in the producer column - Adrian Cowell! "
This report uses detailed data to illustrate the achievements of five films produced by Bosworth during the summer vacation. Besides, it also lists last year's Philadelphia story, piano lesson, and the beginning of the year's "this killer is not too cold" and "delicious love", and finally points out that the producer column has Adrian's name.
Although most of them are at the end of the list, especially for independent films like piano lesson, everyone knows that it's just hanging the title, but if they are linked together, it's not so simple.
"I think that's right. ED is a man of great vision. He recommended Holly hunt to me, provided a lot of help and gave me a lot of advice on the plot." Jane Campion, director of piano lessons, was quoted as saying.
It doesn't matter whether it's a front-line director like James Cameron, a senior director like Neil Jordan or Jonathan Demi, or a new director like Michael Bay or Jane de BoNT. These things are not secret and can be found out if you want to investigate them. Then contact Anne Rice's article The report is very surprising.
"I don't know if Adrian has been blessed by God, but his eyes are obviously beyond his right. When he says who can, this person can. Think of Al Pacino and Emma Thompson at last year's Oscars, Michael Bay and Jane de BoNT, Natalie Portman and Kirsten Dunst, as well as Monica BELLUCCI, Julia Roberts and so on. It's like he has this golden finger that turns stone into gold. When he starts to wave, everyone wants him to hit himself That's what the last paragraph of the report says.
Although this is not a secret in the circle, not everyone knows Adrian very well, and some things are misrepresented, so it is inevitable to be surprised to see this detailed report. However, the most surprising thing is the public. Generally speaking, ordinary people pay most attention to actors or stars. They choose movies according to who plays them, and then they are famous directors. However, few of them pay attention to the producers. Naturally, they are not very clear about Adrian's great achievements. It is hard to avoid exclamation when it is disclosed by newspapers.
In fact, Adrian won't be surprised if it is. As I said before, ordinary people rarely pay attention to who makes movies, unless they are famous directors who hold the position. Moreover, there are so many producers in Hollywood that there are no five or six productions a year, and there are more who are listed at the end of the list. People don't know about nature, and they don't feel it. So even if these films are sold well, they will only become the talk after dinner.
But Adrian is different. It is needless to say that the previous several Cutts full of fantastic ideas and praises. It is needless to say that the incident that triggered the media controversy between Britain and the United States in 1992 is needless to say. However, it has been a matter of making three films a year, becoming the youngest best director nominees, and sending Al Pacino and Emma Thompson to the throne of the film emperor I can still remember clearly that this young man has become a miracle director.
Although he became silent and had no works in the past year, it was not until the new year in 1994 that he released "the killer is not too cold", and it caused controversy because of describing the relationship between middle-aged men and little girls, it does not mean that people forget him. Therefore, after this incident was disclosed by the newspaper, everyone had a sense of unexpected surprise: since he can become a miracle director in three years, it is normal to become a gold medal producer.
Adrian was thus placed on the front desk, and reporters began to appear outside the villa. Various TV stations also began to send out invitations to hope that he could appear on the program. In particular, the expanding TBS of AC media took advantage of its advantages to persuade his boss, hoping that his talk show could earn more popularity.
"I don't want to be interviewed right now. Roger, I'm not a big star. I'll wait until the end of the year even if I have to. There are still two films to be released at the end of the year. Are they going to be on again at that time?" Adrian told Roger, his agent on the phone.He is always in charge of his script and director related affairs, although in fact there is not much to do, many times it is just a passing scene. After all, the film company is Adrian's, and there is no need for agents to fight for rights and interests. As for other aspects, Adrian has always been very low-key, and has nothing special to deal with. Even if there is one, he can only do as he says. For example, in dealing with the scandal of last year, who let him be the boss?
In addition, Roger often guest stars Adrian's ears and eyes, inquires for him various news, the agent's communication scope is very wide. But he is not dissatisfied with it. As a qualified agent, he knows when to do what is the ability to look after his family. Because of this, Adrian did not treat him badly.
Well, to get back to the point, Adrian has no aversion to this sudden report. These things will be discovered sooner or later. After all, journalists are not vegetarian, and he is not as powerful as Murdoch and Redstone. If the power and status of Murdoch and others go wrong, he will still be reported by the media. He has been able to keep a low profile for so long Good.
Moreover, this report is not useless, at least further demonstrated their ability in the circle and those who want to enter the entertainment industry. With the golden finger of turning stone into gold? It's true. If you want to be famous, come to me. Adrian moved his finger to think of this, and then he chuckled. His eyes immediately showed the attractive appearance of his women who were dying under the action of his fingers. Golden finger has another explanation.
But soon Adrian sighed again. If there was anything wrong with this report, it was that he would not be able to date his women as recklessly as before for a long time.
"Is that trouble? When you used to date Monica and Julia, didn't you avoid reporters as well? " Charlize scoffed at his worries.
"That's the same. If you're careful, it shouldn't be a problem." Adrian agreed after thinking about it carefully. There are many ways to get rid of those reporters. Don't look down on paparazzi, but don't look high.
Then he looked at Charlize with interest and put his arm around her waist: "and you're still around, aren't you?"
Charlize gave him a blank eye: "you'd better be careful, ed. this is the living room. If the reporters outside are using long lens cameras, tomorrow you'll appear in the newspaper as sexually harassing your assistant."
Adrian laughs as he settles in. He really likes Charlotte now and thinks for him in a duplicity. The more she was, the less he would let her go.
Although he declined all kinds of interviews, Adrian made a brief statement on the report, saying that he was only putting forward some appropriate opinions. The success of the film was mainly due to the efforts of the directors and actors. Just like many speeches, a great deal of value is scarce, and no wonder the talk show host joked in the program: it's like a regular press conference of the White House spokesman.
Although the media are not satisfied, there is nothing to do. If Adrian deliberately wants to avoid them, they can not catch his trace. And when they don't avoid them, the answers are always the same.
"It's obviously thanks to Jerry and Mike, and the best I can do is to pick out the people I can choose from."
"To be honest, I was worried that he had never directed a formal film. It is really uncertain whether he can direct this disaster film well. But if you don't give other people a chance, how do you know that they can't? "
"Holly is an excellent actor and was recommended by a friend of mine. I recommended it to Ms. campine because I thought it was good, so my role was very small."
Journalists want to be more depressed and depressed. What they want is that the inside is possible, gossip is news that can be played out, and how to play these things. After all, Adrian is different from ordinary stars. Although the report only briefly mentioned AC media, but did not describe it in detail, most journalists knew that he was a person with identity, so even if they could interview in the interview, Adrian was different from ordinary stars Based on the content of the play, also have to do as much as possible like that.
In short, in this case, the heat started to slow down, but it will take some time to recover to the previous level. Adrian had no choice but to keep up with his current style. Anyway, as Charlize said, these troubles are just small problems, just like riding a bicycle on a road full of small stones. Although some bumps and bumps, there is no big obstacle in fact.
