In fact, Adrian shouldn't have come to the premiere of war of the world. The hero of the movie is Tom Cruise. Even though it was half a month ago that he went back to the hotel arm in hand with Nicole in Cannes, and his subsequent speech to European filmmakers distracted most people's attention, but there were always people staring at it.
After all, there was a lot of controversy between him and Nicole and cruise at the beginning. The rumors about Adrian's collusion with Nicole because of directing "eye opening caution" have never been broken, and have been circulated in the Internet from time to time. If he appeared on the red carpet at the premiere of Cruise's movie, or even met cruise, it would certainly make a big stir in the media, and the previously cold gossip would come back to the public's attention, which is definitely not a good thing.
Of course, with Tom Cruise's attitude towards Adrian, if we meet on the red carpet, it must be out of my head. There are only two ways for him to do so, either to be nice to Adrian, to borrow the current state of public attention to get some positive attention, or to use this method to block Adrian and Nicole. Of course, with Cruise's character and wisdom, the former can't think of it, but the latter Not at all.
So Adrian's coming to the premiere of "war of the world" is very low-key. His main purpose is to test the response of Hollywood Jews to "pianist" through Spielberg. Although it's more convenient to go through Weinstein, it doesn't need to be in such a hurry. But Spielberg, who has directed Schindler's list, is undoubtedly the most suitable, and the earlier he prepares, the better. After all, he has another goal. He doesn't appear on the red carpet, so he can't meet cruise.
In fact, this goal has basically been achieved. Even though they are not clear about each other, the meaning is clear, and Adrian also took the opportunity to say that his production of "pianist" was influenced by Spielberg. This is very important. If you want to achieve your goal, it is necessary to obtain the support of the Jewish group. In any case, the Jewish side of Hollywood accounts for a lot of money.
In a sense, he is playing games among several parties, so as long as it is beneficial, it should be fought for. Of course, the degree should also be controlled properly. The wire is still very stable.
To be honest, Adrian didn't really want to direct the pianist himself. Although he sent people to look for Spearman and reissue the city of death, it was just for sale. He wanted to sell his personal feelings to Polanski or the Jewish community. So when Polanski asked someone to buy the right to adapt, Adrian almost agreed. But after thinking about it carefully and pushing his plan to a higher level, he added it to the list and got the current situation.
So. That's it for now. We can start that movie. After chatting with Spielberg and greeting a few acquaintances, Adrian is ready to leave. He had sneaked in without much guidance. Naturally, there was no need to go to the screening hall to see the war of the world. Cruise certainly didn't like to see him at the beginning or end of the film.
But. As he was about to leave through the side door, a little girl's voice stopped him: "Mr. Cowell."
"Hannah?" Looking back, Dakota Fanning came panting after him.
"I'm so sorry Mr. Cowell. " The little girl who stopped panting for two times showed a smile, "I hope I didn't disturb you."
"Oh, of course not. I was just about to leave. Besides, just call me Adrian or ed Adrian looked at her curiously. "What can I do for you?"
"No, it's nothing," Dakota explained quickly. "I just want to Thank you
"Thanks?" Adrian picked his eyebrows.
"Yes," said the little girl, nodding, with a lovely, timid smile, "I know you've been taking care of me and recommending me a lot of great characters. I'm very grateful, very grateful, so So I always wanted to thank you in person, Cowell Ed. Originally, I wanted to look for opportunities in the future, but I just heard Mr. Spielberg said that you were here, but I didn't hold back for a moment So I came here I didn't see you, so I guess you didn't want to let too many people know, so you came here. I'm not I mean to disturb you... "
She stammered a little, her face was red, her eyes moved around, and she seemed afraid to look at him because she was shy, which made her look particularly lovely.
Adrian picked his eyebrows imperceptibly, and then changed into a gentle smile: "it's nothing. You are a girl with great potential. I recommend that you also should. Don't come to thank me specially."
"No," the little girl's voice became firm. "Maybe ed doesn't think it's necessary, but I know that without ED's guidance, I won't be so easy to get the honor I have today..."
She said, as if plucked up the courage of the chest, with the big blue eyes to look at him: "in the future, you can guide me more?"Again, imperceptibly, Adrian picked his eyebrows. Suddenly Adrian leaned over to her, reached out and rubbed in her golden hair: "of course, I said, you are a girl with great potential."
"Thank you." Dakota laughed brilliantly, stood on tiptoe, pecked him in the face with lightning speed, and then ran away.
Another goblin, huh? Looking at her back, Adrian slowly straightened up and hummed in his heart. No, not only. She was a little smaller than the goblin at that time. Tut, who can escape the temptation of vanity fair? Especially for a girl who is very precocious, is it lucky or unfortunate to have such a precocious child?
The question was immediately forgotten, and whatever Dakota might suggest, she's too young now. So, even if the current waves have not subsided. There's still a lot of bickering on both sides of the Atlantic, Adrian's attention has been paid to it, and the "pianist" campaign has been going on, and he soon got involved in the new film "out of control.".
"It's a very simple shot, you just need to go from here to there, and you don't need any extra body language. But it's also a complicated shot. The focus of the camera will be on your face, and you need to express at least two or more emotions In the middle of the huge studio, Adrian told Natalie this.
"No clear rules?" Said Natalie, pursing her lips.
"No," Adrian nodded. "It's up to you to decide how you feel. Although it can be done by montage in the later stage, I still hope it can be done by you. "
With that, he began to call the lighting master and props master to prepare, and then motioned to start shooting after all the people were in place.
"Out of control" does not have many scenes, the most important is at home and in the company, and then there are a few outdoor plays, so 80% of the content can be completed in the studio. As for the remaining 20%. There are too many suitable locations outside the studio, even if they are not suitable. As long as Adrian is willing to invest, pull the curtain around and move the background to the post production stage.
So even though the film has attracted much attention because of the hot schedule, and Adrian is still completely in front of the curtain because of Cannes, it is still very easy to isolate people's attention from the new film, which is easier than the pianist. At least, before the full release of "pianist", the news that director miracle is shooting a new film should be kept secret.
Of course. The reason for this is mainly due to the script's relatively simple story line. This play can be regarded as Adrian's semi original work. It mainly describes that in a deformed family, a single mother has abnormal control over her daughter because she raised her daughter independently.
Because the daughter grew up, everything in her life was taken over by her mother, so she could only accept it passively. I don't have my own opinion. This situation changed after the company where the daughter worked transferred a new supervisor. The new supervisor was a playboy. I don't know why the relative rustic daughter came into his eyes, so the supervisor tried to hook up with her.
The daughter who doesn't have her own opinion doesn't know what to do with this kind of thing, but the company needs to promote a group of people at this time. She was very lucky to be among them, so she had to deal with the director, and her daughter's only friend was nearby to advise her. Everything was pretty good originally. Although she needed to be insincere with her supervisor, her daughter's long-term closed heart began to unravel, until one day she had no intention to see her only friend talking to her supervisor intimately. Then suspicion began to grow in her heart, and she began to be suspicious.
In addition, her mother was still strict with her, and she had hardly heard her heart talk. She only asked her to follow her instructions and strive for promotion.
All these things are intertwined, which is very sensitive, and the sense of security is seriously insufficient. However, the daughter who is usually suppressed by her mother begins to become a little neurotic. Especially when she found out that her only friend was also on the list of possible promotion, this kind of neuroticism became more intense. At the end of the day, she began to hallucinate under all kinds of suffering, as if someone was trying to kill her. The original orderly life was completely disordered, and finally broke out. Everything was out of control and everyone was hurt.
The plot is familiar, isn't it? And some ballet movie. In fact, Adrian did draw on some of the ballet films when he wrote the script, but he borrowed more from the identified films. Apart from the ways of expression, similar plots can be found everywhere in American movies. For example, this kind of scene in which the mother severely controls her daughter, and the daughter resists because of a series of things, and finally causes a catastrophe, can be traced back to Carrie the witch in the 1970s.
The key lies in the way of expression, such as the super power in Carrie, for example, ballet in ballet movies. As long as the way of expression can arouse the audience's resonance, no matter how bloody the plot will be, just like using ballet to express the heroine's mood change, it is really innovative.
However, Adrian didn't think about it carefully and left it far away. He said a long time ago that ballet is the most difficult film to shoot, or the least easy to let the protagonist go to battle in person. Ordinary dance as long as after a certain period of contact, the actors can basically dance like a model. And then we'll edit it later, and the effect will come out.But ballet is not the same, ballet on the physical requirements are very high, so the vast majority of ballet players began training from an early age, unqualified is eliminated early. In addition, those delicate techniques need to show a variety of tension delicate movements. It's not something that an inexperienced actor can make up for by training for half a year or even a year.
Of course, there is montage, excellent post editing can always get the desired effect, so that people can't tell whether it is the actor or the stand in front of the camera, especially now CG technology is developing rapidly. Back in Gladiator. The technology of changing heads has already been used, not to mention now.
But the problem comes again. Although this is convenient, don't forget what Adrian's goal is! Generally speaking, the Academy will not consider a film with dancing unless the protagonist can perform 80% to 90% of the movements in person. Audrey Hepburn was for that reason. Because most of the singing and dancing in my fair lady was done by doubles, so I didn't even get the nomination.
Adrian may be able to use a variety of techniques, such as taking more shots of her dancing in person, and then claiming that most of the scenes in the clip are her, and the whole crew can testify for her, and the possibility of success is very high at other times. However, this is not an ordinary time. Hollywood does not know how many pairs of eyes are staring at Adrian. Once the other party catches a flaw, it may affect the whole plan. Even if he had a second hand.
The bottom line is not to affect the plan. In addition, the more we are in this situation, the more we want to win, the more we can't make a statement. Although from the perspective of his final plan for Natalie, the former way seems to be more in line with interests.
Adrian believes it, too. With my current control ability, it is absolutely not difficult to direct such a film. Anyway, all we need is to show Natalie's acting skills. The whole movie serves this point. In fact, the script is set. The performance of these bloody plots is acting!
That's why Adrian repeatedly stressed acting skills and asked Natalie to break through on her own. So earlier, he took her to meet teenagers who had been troubled by the same problems, hoping to inspire her.
But it was still a difficult shot. The first shot lasted a whole day, and everyone seemed exhausted at the end of the day. The same thing repeatedly done dozens of times, even if it is made of steel, it is inevitable that people will feel tired.
"Tomorrow we will continue." Adrian announced with a frown, then sat down in the director's chair, closed his eyes, thought for a few minutes, got up, walked to Natalie, whispered a few words to her, and then went back to his office here.
Because AC media acquired Universal Pictures, Universal Studios naturally became its own industry. So he set his office at the foot of the mountain, far away from the famous office on the tour route of 5171, so as not to be disturbed by tourists from all over the world.
"Come in." 'exclaimed Adrian, who had closed his eyes, after hearing the knock at the door.
Natalie, who had already packed up, walked in and quietly reached her desk.
"Do you know what your problem is?" Adrian asked, opening his eyes and looking at her.
"Too many emotions to try?" Natalie asked in an uncertain tone.
"Of course not," Adrian waved sharply. "What are you worried about? What are you hesitating about? I can clearly feel that you have several times, several times and a little breakthrough, you can achieve the desired effect perfectly, but each time to the last point, you always choose to retreat. "
He stood up, his hands on the table, leaned forward and looked at her sternly: "tell me, Nada, what are you hesitating about?"
“…… Nothing. " Natalie sipped her lips for a while before she said that.
"Nothing?" Adrian sneered. "Worried about failure? Worried that I won't let you go? Worried about being exposed? Worried about falling from the clouds? "
Natalie pinned her head aside without saying a word. Seeing that her ears were red with shame and anger, she knew that these words were right. Adrian didn't speak any more, just looked at her coldly. After a long time, Adrian walked out of the desk and went straight to the door to lock it.
Aware of what he wanted to do, Natalie stood up in a hurry, and before she spoke, Adrian grabbed her wrist and turned it over. Then she slammed herself on her desk.
"You hurt me." Natalie cried out in pain.
But Adrian didn't mean to show mercy at all. He stretched out his hand to untie her belt and pulled off her trousers.
"Stop it, stop it! Otherwise, I will... " Natalie exclaimed shyly, but the answer was a sharp stab, like stuffing sausages into two slices of bread without jam, making her scream.
"Remember! What did I say to you! She's angry! She won't! She wants to get rid of her control! She wants to decide her own life! But! She's lost! She's scared! She hesitated! Because she never tried! She didn't have the courage to try! She seems strong, but she is actually fragile! She looks smart, but she is stupid! She thought she was free of everything! Actually nothing! yes! you 're right! It's how you feel now! It's your body's reaction! This is it! Remember it for me! Do you hear me, Natalie! Remember it for me! If you can't, I'll do it once a day! Do you understand?
