Chapter 23 Summer vacation is coming

Sometimes, only when you stand high and look down at the earth will you discover how broad the world is, and your mind will become broader without realizing it.

Adrian said as he pulled his eyes back from the outside of the window, and then landed on Gwyneth's face with a little freckle but looked very scented. But it was not now, because there were only clouds outside now, and the earth could only be seen after the plane descended to the troposphere, so I would rather look at you.

Gwyneth smiled slightly and said nothing. Compared to the day outside New York that day, she had already changed into a black formal outfit, a dress with knees, a silk jacket, pointed leather shoes, and her hair was slightly bent down from both sides of her face, covering up the shortcomings of her face shape. After careful dressing, she looked more elegant.

I'm serious, Gwyne, I haven't seen you become more beautiful for a few weeks.

Adrian looked at him without blinking, with an unconcealed appreciation, which was more in line with my original idea.

Really?

Gwyneth's eyes lit up immediately, and then realized something again. After coughing lightly, she said concealedly: Maybe it's because during this period, I have been thinking about how to better fit Tracy's image.

Adrian laughed in his heart, lowered his head and drank the coffee as if he didn't see it.

She was still a little too tender, just like the day before yesterday. When Adrian said that she was going back to Los Angeles soon, Gwyneth immediately said in a surprise tone: Really, I'm going back soon.

The meaning is too obvious.

In this kind of thing, you can't ask a girl who is only 21 years old to do better, and Adrian also understands why she is so urgent.

Since playing the cameo of the girl Wendy in his godfather's "Captain Hook" in 1991, Gwyneth has participated in almost five works in just two years. The number of such a thing is too amazing, but these characters are like stones thrown into the sea, and even waves have not splashed.

The worst situation in the entertainment industry is not that there are so many bad reviews, but that no one realizes your existence at all.

In fact, in Adrian's memory, she should have had a work that was pretty good last year, but perhaps because of the butterfly effect, Gwyneth has not got that role now, so he took a big advantage.

In short, the person known as the miracle director now gave her a chance and swears that she had a brilliant idea because of her. Even if she had signed a contract for three movies, for a young girl who was eager to become famous and proved that she was eager to get rid of the influence of her parents and godfathers, this opportunity must be seized more firmly.

He is very clear about this, so why would Adrian refuse?

Even though Gwyneth did so obviously, she immediately invited her to go back on her own private jet.

I have to say that the title of Director Miracle is really useful, and I was very successful at this step.

We have had three film appointments before, right?Next year I have a major production that will start in the UK, a war movie about the struggle for independence of medieval Scotland.

Adrian suddenly said this, and Gwyneth's expression moved slightly while listening, but soon a hint of doubt flashed through another. At the same time, I plan to make a moderately cost-effective movie in the UK, a movie adapted from Jane Austen's novel, and I hope you can play the leading actress.

Adapted from...Jane Austen's novel?Gwyneth looked at him in disbelief, and the words that completely unexpected made her stunned in the seat, not knowing what kind of reaction should be made.

At first she thought Adrian was going to invite her to play a role in that big production, but it is unlikely to think about it carefully. She is a native American girl. How can she be suitable for playing a medieval British woman?

But then he told her that there was also a movie adapted from Jane Austen's novel to start filming, and then she was asked to play the leading actress!

this……

It's really incredible.

Are you directing it?Gwyneth asked this, and when she realized something was wrong, Adrian had already answered his question: Yes, it was all directed by me.

This was another unexpected answer.

The first movie takes about three months to shoot, and the second one, if everyone does a great job, about six weeks will be fine.Adrian said so.

Making a war movie in three months?

As soon as this was said, Gwyneth realized that she had said stupid things again. Although she was calm on the surface, she regretted it in her heart. She only hoped that Adrian would not be angry about it.

Of course, Adrian didn't. He smiled understandingly: This is a normal reaction, but I am different from other directors and producers. Two years ago, I could make three movies in a year and release them, and now I can do the same.

So, why do you think I'm suitable to play the heroine in Austin, Ed?Gwyneth quickly changed the subject, and this question happened to be something she wanted to ask very much.

This is what I originally meant to think, Gwyne.

Adrian's smile became a little unfathomable, and his dark eyes looked at her without blinking, which made Gwyneth feel a strange feeling.

I've seen all the works you've been involved in so far, and I'm going to say that those producers are idiots and they don't even realize what kind of charm you have!

As he said that, he showed a disdainful look, as if he was very dissatisfied with those people.

Immediately, Adrian looked at Gwyneth with serious and enthusiastic eyes: Your elegance and temperament are very suitable for such roles, Gwyne, you are definitely not inferior to those British women.Think about it, it is amazing that a native American girl who perfectly interprets a female role in the British style.

Perfect interpretation of the British-style female character?Gwyneth opened her gray-green eyes and showed an incredible look. Her emotions were completely following the other person. Can I?

Of course, I said yes, then you must be, I will never misjudgment.Adrian said proudly, the strong confidence in his expression made people unable to question it.

He is... so charming!Gwyneth suddenly said this in her heart, then lowered her head and took a deep breath.

Do you believe me, Gwyne?Adrian's voice rang in his ears again.

certainly.A smile appeared on Gwyneth's pretty face.

She has done so many things and wants this, so how could she refuse?Moreover, he is both humorous, witty, gentle and considerate, full of charm. His original approach was really correct.

Call me if you have time.

After the plane flew against Los Angeles, Adrian drove Gwyneth back to the apartment, she finally hugged him and kissed him.

The two of them lingered at the door for a long time before they separated. She looked at him affectionately and said.

I will.Adrian kissed her lips again, gave her another hug and watched her enter the room.

Gwyneth stretched and breathed, sat down on the sofa, and smirked.

At this moment, she completely forgot the rumors about Adrian and the female secretary who was always with him.

He is very good at acting, a little scheming, but also a little naive.

This is what Adrian commented to Gwyneth on his way back.

If he wanted to carry her to bed, it would have been in New York. When he came back from the suburbs that day to invite Gwyneth to have dinner and then take her back to the hotel room, Adrian tentatively, she had no intention of refusing.

And just now, if he wanted to enter her apartment, she would definitely agree happily, but...

Now is not the time.

Adrian said to himself in his heart.

Although he was the same when he was dating Sophie in Paris, the situation for Sophie and Gwyneth are different. There is still a lot of trouble to deal with if you want Sophie, and half of Gwyneth has fallen into his hands.

But patience is essential if you want to fully grasp it. For example, even if Blanchett returns to Melbourne, Adrian still keeps in touch with her, saying sweet words on the phone from time to time, or expressing her longing in letters.

But unlike Blanchett, Gwyneth took the initiative to find her, but at the same time she was not particularly determined, so proper hanging her appetite could make her closer.

Of course, another reason is that Adrian has been delaying a date for a long time. The little girl called the movie and warned in her unique indifferent tone: If you don’t go to the appointment again, then forget it.

Adrian naturally would not let the food that was almost at ease slip away so inexplicably, so this became one of his important tasks after returning to Los Angeles.

It seems that he is a little inseparable. In fact, it is not difficult to arrange it reasonably. Besides, he has a secretary with outstanding abilities. Besides, aren’t these things he likes and pursues?

However, it has been delayed for several weeks anyway, so I don’t care about delaying for a few more days. I will handle the work matters first. Adrian can still clearly distinguish which one is more important.

And you can also observe more whether it is enough to play or is it worth spending more time to include it as a collection object.

Therefore, after he returned to Los Angeles and adjusted his schedule, the first thing he did was to go to the post-production editing room of "Forrest Gump".

The person responsible for the preliminary editing is no longer Kant Pan or Francis Bruce who has worked with before. This time he chose Arthur Schmidt, who is very good at fusion editing. This editor is also a top figure in Hollywood. He has done this method of editing movie characters into historical materials before.

Adrian had exchanged views with the other party on the phone long before, and this part of the editing started when he went to London. Adrian would not miss any time he could use, otherwise how could he make three movies a year?

Others can only try their best to cooperate, which is the benefit of holding power.

The lip shape here is wrong and must be modified.

Adrian pointed to the screen and said, in the black and white picture, John Kennedy was shaking hands with the members selected for the college football star team. He is from northern and Irish, so he has to look rounder when he says, 'It sounds like he wants to pee'.

He stopped at this point, and after brewing his emotions for a little while, he deliberately imitated Kennedy's accent and said: It sounds like he is saying that he wants to pee, do you understand, Rick?

Rick Baker touched his chin and thought for a few minutes, then glanced at the editor Schmidt next to him, then poured the image back and stopped where Kennedy shook hands with Forrest Gump.

It is not so easy to modify here. If the mouth is slightly larger, it may cause the entire picture to be distorted, so... he immediately adjusted the original information on another machine and pointed to the pictures and started talking endlessly. If you insist, my suggestion is to re-edit these shots and add Kennedy's side image to the shape of the mouth. This way, it will be much more convenient to adjust the lip.

Then Baker spread his hands, looked at Adrian, and then looked at Schmidt.

No problem, I can re-edit with this shot.Schmidt said head, but his eyes looked at Adrian.

Just do it according to your ideas, as long as it does not affect what you want to express, I am very satisfied so far.Adrian made a gesture, indicating that they should do it with confidence.

Most of the post-production editing of "Forrest Gump" is no different from other movies, but it has strict requirements on key areas, so it is very troublesome to produce.

Just like now, while putting Hanks' image into historical video materials, you also need to modify the character's lip shape to correspond to it. Then it is not only the editor's job, but also the participation of the special effects engineer.

As one of the main highlights of this movie, it would be awful if something goes wrong.

So when editing these shots, Adrian had to supervise them on the spot so that problems could be discovered and modified in a timely manner.

If four or five years have passed, such special effects will be much easier to make, but unfortunately it is still a bit troublesome now.

Schmidt and the others also knew the importance of this matter, so they did not complain.

Fortunately, there are not too many such shots, so Adrian doesn't need to stay in the studio anytime, anywhere.

However, in addition to this incident, there are some things that are also important. With mid-June passing, the summer vacation has come to North America again. As one of the most important film schedules, big productions with the purpose of making money will be released soon.

Three productions under AC Media will be released directly with Adrian, so he has to participate in all three premieres.

The first one released is naturally "The True Lies", directed and produced by James Cameron, which has been waiting for almost half a year.

This action film starring Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jamie Lee Curtis has invested $100 million, and it is still a big investment and production even in the 21st century.

Both 20th Century Fox and Adrian know that if you want to recover your investment, it is the best choice to release the movie in the summer vacation.

There were many celebrities on the day of the premiere. Not only were there many people in the circle, but there were also many outside the circle. Just think about who Schwarzenegger's wife is and what ambitions he has.

However, compared to Schwarzenegger, who relied on his wife to be good at the premiere, James Cameron, as the director and producer, was a bit mixed. Even though many people who attended the premiere congratulated him, believing that the movie will definitely be a big hit at the box office and will not improve his mood much.

What I am happy about is that the movie "The True Lies" was finally released. Although it was a little late, it was fully promoted because of this. He was confident that the box office of the movie would definitely be a big hit.

But what I was worried about was that I didn't know what to do to satisfy Adrian. He never forgot the promise Adrian gave him after he came out of the bar that day.

After James Cameron, who is about to be forty, has achieved success, especially the big sales and amazing special effects of "Terminator 2", which made him a top-notch director. Except for a few more respected people, he rarely takes other directors and producers seriously. Although he can talk to these people at parties and cocktail parties, he always has the spirit of making commercial movies deep down, not to mention those young people.

However, Adrian Cowell is an exception, and the other party gave him a deep impression on him when he first met.

In my opinion, the name James Cameron is worth my investment.That's how he spoke at that time.

Although Cameron has heard a lot of praise, this sentence is undoubtedly what he likes the most.

Of course, at that time Adrian was just a young director who had just taken charge of the director, and the film company he acquired began to improve, so he didn't take it too seriously, but just focused on attracting investment for "Terminator 2".

But as time passed, as the exchange between the two began to deepen, Cameron liked the young man more and more. Adrian was like a roundworm in his belly, and the movie topics he talked about always matched his appetite.

And he did not hide his appreciation for him at all. The soon-released "The True Lies" is the best example. Not only did he give the idea, but he also brought 20th Century Fox to invest, and he also handed all the power of production into his hands. How could Cameron not like him?

At the same time, in just a few years, Adrian has become more and more eye-catching, with an amazing leap from a genius director to a wizard director to a miracle director.

Although Cameron disagrees with non-commercial films, he has to admit that Adrian is very powerful. He can shoot any kind of subject, and the shooting speed is fast and proportional to the quality. He can also make money with dull art films. With his unique vision, the title of director Miracle is worthy of his reputation.

Because of this, Cameron was very curious about his promise at the time. He wanted to know what kind of miracle Adrian planned to create.

Although the other party didn't say it clearly at the beginning, he still heard something, that is, the investment will definitely not be lower than the current movie. For Cameron, who likes to spend money and pile up special effects, this is simply too much for his appetite.

So when Adrian later added a condition that only "The True Lies" satisfies him, he began to think about what to be satisfied.
