"I'm sorry, ed. there was a little problem in the way, so I'm here now." Tom Cruise, who finally came to the studio, said hello to Adrian with a smile, but the smile didn't look sincere.

"It doesn't matter. Anyone has something unexpected to deal with, doesn't it?" Adrian shrugged and didn't seem to take it seriously. "Just don't delay shooting."

But then he slapped Cruz hard on his arm, and his expression became somewhat meaningful: "but I hope, as far as possible, there won't be another time, understand?"

Cruise's face stiffened, but he kept smiling and nodded: "OK, I see."

There has been a long history of conflict between big directors and big stars because of their right to speak. Kubrick and Marlon Brando had a bad time. Since cruise always has no good impression on Adrian, and because he came for Kubrick's fame this time, he suffered a loss in the preparation of Mr. sweetheart. Even if he was convinced by Adrian, he would not have the idea of showing his power by playing big cards.

But he can only do this, cruise occasionally appears stupid, but it does not mean that he has always been so stupid. Last time by Kingsley persuasion and reminder, he more or less understood Adrian's strength, so even if the heart is no longer cheerful, after being warned also have to be honest and restrained.

Many people think that big stars have more power on the set. In fact, they don't. The reason is that the popularity of big stars is much higher than that of directors. In fact, the key to determining the ownership of the studio's discourse right is to see who takes the post of producer. If the director concurrently takes the post of producer, then the star must be honest and obedient if he wants to continue shooting; if the star takes the post of producer, the director must consider the requirements of the star. There are no exceptions, except Adrian.

As for the reason, it is very simple, no big director can be as successful as Adrian in film production, and he is also the chairman of a large emerging media company. Although Lucas' industrial light and magic occupy most of the special effects production market, Spielberg is one of the three big DreamWorks, still can not compare with Adrian.

Over the past few years, the blockbuster movies and TV series have more or less something to do with Adrian; nor does he have an unusual vision, and the actors and directors he has directed have been brilliant. With two broadcasting companies, TBS and ABC, they are on equal footing with Murdoch and Lei Shidong. With such strength, even the most popular stars dare not give him a look. Katherine Hepburn, to a large extent, was also benefited from the media in the 1950s and 1960s. If it were put in the current environment, she would not dare to refuse to attend the Oscar ceremony four times.

"By the way, what about your wife?" Adrian then asked.

"She has other things to deal with. I really can't spare time today, but I believe there won't be another time." Cruise replied, staring at Adrian without blinking.

"Well, let's film the scene where Dr. William solves his boss's dirty business at a cocktail party, and we'll try again just before you come. If it goes well, we'll shoot that part of the billiards room later, and the group plays at the reception will wait for tomorrow, so we can get familiar with the script Adrian replied casually, as if he had just casually asked.

"No problem." Cruise nodded. He asked the assistant to bring the script and walked to his place. After a few steps, he looked back at Adrian. He saw that he was busy with the rest of the work before moving on.

"Pay attention, Sidney needs to walk from here to here, step a little bigger to reflect your mood at the moment, but you are still free to play, as long as you don't exceed the mood of the fifth trial. As for you, Tommy, when you arrive here, you should pause for a moment, have a less obvious surprise, and don't stay too long. How much time you need to master by yourself... " In a small rest room set up by the studio, Adrian explains this for the two actors, and when he talks, he puts his hands into a frame, which is equivalent to explaining the scope of shooting to the photographer.

"Well, that's it. We'll start shooting right away." Adrian said and sat back in his chair.

In fact, the story of "eye opener" is also very simple, that is, couples who have been married for several years begin to get tired of marriage, because there are some misunderstandings at the reception. For example, when the hero doctor William solves the problem for the boss, his wife Alice misunderstands that he has a love affair with other women, and is almost hooked by an old man.

Then, with the excitement of smoking marijuana, Alice confided her sexual fantasies to her husband. The troubled doctor William had a lot of bad associations. She happened to meet a classmate playing piano in a bar. Under his instigation, she mixed into a special party held by some upper class people, which was just like a religious ceremony, which caused more disturbance.

In my memory, some people commented that Kubrick wanted to discuss the relationship of marriage here, but in fact, no one knows. The old man never told others what his movie wanted to express. Maybe for him, he just wanted to make a blue film of type * *. At least according to Adrian, some people in the upper class do have such parties, but they are not only rare but also quite secretive, and they are not as large as those in the movies.Think about it. Schnitzler's dream story was written at the beginning of the 20th century. Needless to say, it's very normal for such things to happen in the upper class of Europe. But in today's media developed, holding such a large-scale party is definitely a matter of death, so Kubrick moved the stage to Modern New York is actually very awkward. Of course, no one knows what's going on in that half bald head, and Adrian only took over for other purposes.

"You don't have to act too deliberately. Just live in your own home and forget about the camera and us, OK?" After three days of filming the treatment of drug addicted prostitutes in the lounge, Nicole Kidman arrived and began filming part of the doctor and his wife at home.

After cruise and Nicole both nodded to show their names, Adrian waved to the others and began to treat her as a stranger, as before. Fortunately, there are not many lines in these scenes, and there is no need for too many acting skills. Finally, there is no medical treatment situation after shooting for three days.

Adrian is not Kubrick. He has his own standard for judging the performance. In addition, he has formed a habit for a long time. He does not have a distorted pursuit of perfection like Kubrick. Obviously, the actor has performed well, but he still keeps shooting repeatedly. Even so, an uncomplicated rescue drama was still filmed for almost three days. You can imagine how bad Cruise's acting is.

Even if there are some external factors, such as the poor state of cruise just started filming, or there are always some small problems, cruise's acting skills are indeed an important reason for the slow progress. Because of this, he had to dismiss the extras who had been hired to take part in the reception to focus on shooting the treatment scene. So Nicole couldn't shoot the part of the reception when she came.

Fortunately, it's still smooth. It took a day and a half to shoot those relatively simple life scenes. At the same time, there are several scenes showing the work of the male lead doctor.

"Well, then, let's clear up." After watching the video and seeing that the break time was up, Adrian immediately told the director's assistant that the staff quickly got up and adjusted the lights and colors they needed. All but a few key characters left the studio in turn.

"You look a little nervous." Adrian walks up to Nicole, who has changed into the costume she needs.

A black evening dress with thin shoulders. Most of the bright and clean back is exposed. Due to the high-heeled shoes, the front is not very convex, but the back is well warped. Her hair is tied in the back of her head, showing her white neck. She has to be long under the fork. Her legs are indistinct. I have to say that now she is the most charming time.

"Fortunately, I have no problem at all." Nicole replied simply, her eyes fixed on him, but Adrian quickly moved away from his eyes.

"Are you all right, Tommy?" He asked, "maybe we could have Nicole put on green underwear and make it in post production."

"Not at all, I think." Cruise did not speak, Nicole has preempted the answer, the unhappy look from cruise's face flash away, but he finally agreed with his wife's words.

"Yes, no need." He said so, in an assumed relaxed tone.

With a smile in his heart, Adrian remained calm and indifferent: "let's start."

There are two shots to be shot. The first is Nicole Kidman undressing in front of the camera - just the back. That's why it's necessary to clear the scene, but in Adrian's opinion, it's just the act of stealing the truth. I don't know how many people will see it after the movie is released.

Although her back to the camera, although she is making a movie, Nicole is still extremely attractive, especially when her back is a little bare, her clothes fall on the ground and she takes a step. The movement of her slender and symmetrical right leg slightly raises and raises, which makes Adrian hear several voices of shortness of breath. After all, she can see the beauty undressed so openly There are not many opportunities.

"Good." Adrian immediately called to stop, waiting for the assistant next to the first time to put the towel on Nicole. Adrian glances at cruise. He stands not far away, staring at Nicole in the studio. He looks indifferent on the surface, but his unhappiness still can be seen.

"Let them in and get ready for the second shot." After cruise and Nicole both return to the dressing room, Adrian immediately says, although he would like to see her take off again, he also knows which is more important, let alone

The same type of lens followed, so the staff spent dozens of minutes changing the bathroom into a bedroom, and then walked out again, followed by Cruise and Nicole, who also wore white towels.

"Next, I don't have to say anything more. Just relax and be at home." Adrian said so, then waved to get ready.

The second scene is naturally the one that has been intercepted as a poster. When the couple of * * are kissing and kissing in front of the dressing table, his wife is looking at the people in the mirror with ulterior thoughts.With the sound of "" sounded, the two people who removed the towel immediately stood in their positions. In order to ease the atmosphere of the studio, Adrian also found the songs used in the soundtrack to play on the scene. Nicole, with her earrings in front of the mirror, wiggles gently to the music. Then cruise comes up from behind, hugs her and kisses her.

Although she is wearing her body, her important parts are still covered. For example, cruise wears special meat colored briefs under her, and Nicole also has a similar chest patch on it, which can't be seen after a little treatment. After all, they can't really fully expose their bodies, even if it's a bit of self deception.

The funniest thing is that because of Cruise's height, the props team had to put a long piece of stuff at least a few feet high on the ground, otherwise he would be a little shorter than Nicole in the camera.

"Very good!" Adrian started shooting, this scene is very difficult to pass, a few people in the studio are coincidentally relieved, so that today's progress is completed.

"Well, after these days of running in, we should both know more about each other's situation, and hope that we can cooperate more smoothly and happily." After seeing the cruise couple out of the studio, Adrian said.

"I think so." Cruise smiles, still perfunctorily, Nicole seems to want to say something, but when she hesitates, Adrian has gone to the studio, as always when she is a passer-by.

Looking at his back, Nicole subconsciously bit her lip. Cruise called her a few times before she responded: "what?"

"What's wrong with you? Is there a problem? " Cruise looked at her displeased.

"No, it's nothing. I'm just..." Nicole takes a deep breath and looks at the studio again. "I just don't like him."

"I don't like him either," cruise seemed happy to say, "but now I have to work with him. After all, he's useful, so just leave him alone - let's go."

Nicole takes a disappointed look at cruise. Obviously, she has heard enough of his arrogant words, so she follows him without saying a word.

Adrian doesn't know that, and even if he does, he doesn't care because he knows something. He was ready to shoot the scene repeatedly just now, but he didn't expect it once. He was absolutely not waterproof. According to his standard, this shot was in place. When the camera was pulled close to the couple kissing, his wife turned her head and looked at the person in the mirror with some uneasiness and resistance.

It requires good acting skills to show that she has a lot of worries. It's still difficult for Nicole now, but she still does it, because although she looks at the mirror, what she really looks at is Adrian in the mirror.

How can Adrian not notice that she doesn't seem to care but actually pays attention to her? It's really interesting. It's enough to show a lot of things.

"Mr. Adrian!" As he reached the parking lot, a voice from afar interrupted his thinking. Soon, a slightly fat white man, who looked about forty years old and wore a baseball cap, appeared in front of him.

"Hello, Mr. Adrian. I'm from the Los Angeles Times. My name is Jeff Harris. May I ask you a few questions?" Seeing him stop, the other party introduced himself immediately.

"I'm sorry, I don't give any interviews right now." Adrian smiles, shakes his head and steps to his car.

"Director Stanley Kubrick couldn't finish a new film after a stroke, so you took over, didn't you?" The other side did not seem to hear, and continued to ask.

Adrian's body stuttered, but soon turned to look at him with a smile: "sorry, where did you hear the news?"

"So that's what happened? That's what you're making right now, right? " Although the pause was short-lived, the other side was a well-known journalist, and he couldn't hide anything from his eyes and ears. In addition, he was prepared, and naturally he would not be unaware of it. He immediately asked questions like a barrage.

"I'm sorry, no comment." Adrian shrugged and got into the car. "I'm sorry, I'm going home. Please don't delay me?"

In spite of the other party's yelling, the car drove out of the parking lot, and only after driving a long distance, did he give a long breath: "it's surprising that someone knows so soon."

Although Kubrick stressed that no one could know that Adrian had taken over his new film before the production, the paper could not cover the fire after all. With so many people in a production group, the news would inevitably be spread out. If you want to keep the content of the film secret, it is not easy to keep the director of the film secret. What's more, it's well known that cruise and his wife are invited to play Kubrick's new work. We can draw a conclusion by considering the news.

The old man with a stroke also knows that this is impossible, so even if he insists on this point, he does not write it in the contract. He probably hopes that the later the media knows about it, the better. Otherwise, even if he is not satisfied and does not agree to the release of the film, his reputation will still be affected.Warner also knows that the news can be delayed at most, and it is impossible not to let people know. Otherwise, how could they agree? However, judging from the current situation, it is difficult to say whether the information was leaked by itself or deliberately spread by Warner.

Adrian thought for a moment, then laughed and shook his head. Whatever he was, it was just a matter of time. The impact was not big. As for the reaction of the media, I will know in a few days.
