Chapter 90 "Tomb Raider"

This is an absolute mistake. Every country has politically correct places. Once touched, the trouble will be huge.

In Hollywood, it is one of the political correctness that black government officials should not be villains. Adrian has said before that all the black presidents in movies so far are decent people. Even if independent movies can be filmed at will, the impact caused will be criticized, let alone commercial blockbusters that want to make money and reputation.

Of course, there will be no administrative means to deal with those politically incorrect people or things in the United States. They have more clever methods, such as the original version of the unlucky "Life and Death", which was strongly criticized by most film critics after it was released, saying that it was a left-wing movie and alluded to Vice President Cheney. In addition, the timing of the release was not right, which affected the box office results.

To be fair, although the plot of the movie has some flaws, the logic is basically complete and the action scenes are quite outstanding. Otherwise, the DVD would not be so popular. However, both the box office in North America and overseas box offices are only more than 40 million. It is conceivable that if the producer knew that the result would be like this, this kind of plot would never happen.

This is what Adrian does now. He doesn't care how famous Stephen Hunter is and how popular this novel was when it was released. Since the adaptation rights are in his hands, he can modify it as much as he wants. The original author is unhappy?

Then get out, just like Winston Glum, Adrian doesn't want to make a money-lossing product.

The biggest change is the FBI agent who helped the protagonist clear his grievance. In the original version, this was a Mexican agent, but Adrian changed him to a black agent and found the British actor Chevat Eggford who had not yet become fully famous to play the role. Naturally, the original black villain became white.

Then, a few minor adjustments were made in the subsequent plot. One of the important reasons why the black agents helped the protagonist was that he promised him to let the government solve the matter after investigating the truth, but after the protagonist rescued his girlfriend or his comrade's ex-girlfriend, he burned the tape testimony obtained from another sniper.

You promised me!The black agent shouted angrily to him.

I just want to save us.The male protagonist said calmly.

You said that you have a way to prove your innocence, why can't you do that?!The black agent asked.

Do you know how many people this involves?If we hand it over, we don’t even have the chance to go to court!The male protagonist continued, if you really want to try it, I have an idea.

Afterwards, the black agent returned to the FBI to help the male protagonist prove his innocence. The striker of the sniper rifle he used was counter-installed because of the maintenance and could not fire bullets at all, so it was naturally impossible to assassinate the president.

However, although the accusation against the male protagonist was revoked, facing the evidence found by the black agents that the senator killed a village in Africa for oil, the Supreme Court's justice was helpless. This did not happen in the United States and he had no right to interfere. As for that African country, it would be useless even if a lawsuit was filed. After the white colonel was arraigned, countless people with backgrounds called the justice, hoping that he could give up his hands.

So, the final result is that after the black agent failed his last effort, the male protagonist cleanly killed the villain and then took his comrade's ex-girlfriend to travel far away.

Without political incorrectness, the action scenes are also satisfying, and the plot is more satisfactory. In addition, during the summer vacation in 2001, the market for government conspiracy theories was still very large, so it was naturally very popular. Therefore, it won almost 32 million yuan in the first week of its release, among the 2,800 theaters in North America, almost catching up with all the original North American box offices.

In addition, the easter eggs after the subtitles at the end also attracted a lot of attention.

The male protagonist was drinking in the bar and looked a little depressed, then reached out with a big hand and pushed the big glass of beer in front of him: We are missing a sniper, they said you are the best, are you interested?

Looking up, Stallone's half-paralyzed face immediately appeared in front of the male protagonist. There is no doubt that when "The Expendables 2" is released, the audience will find the face of the male protagonist Bob Lee Swager or Dennis Knight in Stallone's team. As for Stephen Hunter's novel...

Who cares, "Life and Death" is already a complete action movie.

Speaking of this, Adrian was quite regretful. He should have promised Dennis that he would have let Aniston play the female lawyer in "I Am Sam".

Because in "Life and Death", Winona Ryder, the ex-girlfriend of the male protagonist's comrade-in-arms, is undoubtedly the role that Adrian chose.

Then, in the filming of "The Expendables 2", Stallone's team has another female liaison officer and will be born and die with Dennis. This role is played by Jordanna.

More importantly, the movie has been filmed for a long time, and the plot is not complicated. It mainly has various action scenes and a grasp of the rhythm. If it goes well, it may be released at the end of the year.

So if Aniston starred in the female lawyer for "I Am Sam", then Dennis will play against these three women who are constantly involved in his three movies released this year, and think about his current family situation, especially Winona and Aniston's relationship, oh, how interesting that is.

Unfortunately, Adrian did not agree at first, but handed the character to Naomi. When he wanted to modify it later, Aniston became pregnant again, so... very regretful.

Okay, this is an off-topic. After "Life and Death" opened the curtain of the summer vacation, "Tomb Raider" is immediately followed!

Before the filming, I spent several months studying archaeology to practice rock climbing, doing a lot of physical training, practicing various amazing movements, and for me it was a terrible and exciting experience, and I think Laura felt this way every time she took a risk.

Kate, smiling, talked erotic before countless microphones and flashes.

This is Trafalgar Square in London. Although both investors and producers are American, the game developer Eids Studio is from the UK, and Laura Crawford is a British aristocrat. As a virtual character, he has been on countless covers and can almost be regarded as a national idol of the UK. Therefore, the movie was also released in both Britain and the United States at the same time. The premiere in London is perfect.

Practicing various amazing movements?Why didn't I see it?After Kate walked into the theater, Adrian asked with a smile for a long time.

Of course you didn't see it, you just experienced it yourself.Kate rolled his eyes directly. Every time she returned to the UK, she would become sharp-tongued, and she had the style she had when she first met.

This is indeed very amazing.

Adrie touched her chin as if she was acting, and then said in a very serious tone. Then, without waiting for Kate to speak, she reached out to hold her arm, let's go in, my dear, God knows if Lily is already impatient.

After pausing, he said again: Frankly speaking, Kate, this outfit is very compatible with you, but this hairstyle is really a bit bad.

Today, Kate wore a white slanted shoulders and big lace evening dress, which set off her temperament just right, but her hairstyle was wrapped in the back of her head to match Laura's image. Although the two pairs of crystal earrings made her look a lot, the feeling it gave people or the feeling that Adrian was a little worse. What he liked the most was her big waves.

You should say this to the crew.Kate shrugged.

OK, it will definitely be next time.Adrian laughed and took her into the screening room.

A long distance away, the little guy jumping in the seat stretched out his arms to his parents. Unfortunately, for some reason, she couldn't yell. Although the little guy was naughty and liked to do the opposite with his parents, he was still very obedient in such occasions. Adrian sighed more than once. It was not a good thing that his daughter was too smart. She is still young now and some things can be fooled. If it takes another two years...

Mom, this place is so big, much bigger than the cinema at home.Lily acted coquettishly in Kate's arms. Although she couldn't shout loudly, she could still speak casually when she was in her mother's arms.

Of course, this is the best theater in London and you will soon be able to see Mom on the screen.Kate coaxed his daughter.

That must be great.Lily showed her longing, and this was her first time attending her mother's premiere. Although she failed to walk the red carpet, it was already very good in her opinion.

It would be great if Deva and Juliet could come too.The little guy suddenly sighed again, as if he missed his two sisters a little.

She has the style of a sister, my dear.Adrian smiled and pinched his daughter's face.

Lily raised her chin and hummed deliberately to express her dissatisfaction with her father's rejection of her walking on the red carpet. Then she grimaced and leaned forward to ask Sophie and Monica in the row in front: Why can't Deva and Juliet come?

Because they are not as lively as you, they have to sleep, my dear.Monica turned her head and smiled with Sophie and touched the little guy's head.

Adrian said last year that he wanted to sell a manor in the UK, so he spent more than 20 million pounds near Andover, Hampshire, south England, not far from London, to buy the manor named Lincoln Holt. It is built on the lake with beautiful scenery. It will be very pleasant to raft or swim in the lake in summer.

Of course, such a manor alone is not worth more than 20 million pounds. At the same time, the two thousand acres of suburbs around the manor are bought, including 1,500 acres of farmland, 425 acres of forest, a cricket court and twenty-one houses for rent for villagers.

Some of these villagers lived here as soon as they were born, so Adrian did not forget to sign a statement announcing his first night rights to the villagers. This thing still exists in some parts of the UK. Of course, no one wants to drive or even cares about this power.

However, Adrian is also a celebrity after all. If someone knows that he still retains this power by buying a manor here, the tabloids will definitely like it very much, and it will inevitably become a topic of relish when the time comes.

Although Adrian is a media tycoon, he is also a big celebrity in the entertainment industry. Reports on this aspect are not illegal, right?What's more, he hit the gun himself...

Adrian has never had much interest in cricket, and the women in the Commonwealth around him also had no feelings for this kind of sport. So after obtaining the consent of the villagers, while the manor was re-built, the cricket court was changed to tennis and horse court.

Due to various reasons, it will not be available until mid-May this year. "Tomb Raider" has been set to premiere in London, so Adrian simply took his family to the manor for vacation.

The whole family mentioned here naturally refers to five daughters and their respective mothers. Although the youngest Eleanor was less than two months old, he could still take a plane if he was taken care of properly.

Since I came to London, it is certain to participate in the premiere of "Tomb Raider", but Jessica and Blanchett both chose to accompany their daughter, especially Blanchett. They liked the environment of Lincoln Holt Manor, so they were actually participating in the only ones. Even so, Deva and Juliet were left in the manor and were taken care of by the nanny.

Of course, they are not the only ones who come to the premiere. Rachel and Zeta Jones also come to participate because they are British, but Adrian wants to accompany Kate, so he just greeted them for the time being, but this is not the case to the other little guy.

You are acting cute again, Lily, are you planning to never grow up?The sound came from next to Adrian.

So what if you don’t grow up?Lily hummed at the visitor's nostrils, so what if I act coquettishly?

It's nothing, just... Little Emma raised her head and looked at Adrian with wide eyes. Ed, since Lily is acting coquettishly in Kate's arms, can I act coquettishly in your arms?

Before Adrian could speak, Lily shouted in a hurry: No, no, dad is mine.

OK, then you go to act coquettishly in Ade's arms, I go to act coquettishly in Kate's arms, that's OK.Little Emma spread her hands.

Yes...No, why do I want to go to my father's arms? You want to go to my mother's arms?Lily was confused by her.

Oh, dear Lily, you have to know how much I long to find someone and act coquettishly in her arms.Little Emma showed a sad look.

OK, Emma!Adrian, who couldn't stand watching, held Little Emma's head and shook it. The little girl stuck out her tongue and finally didn't speak.

Then he turned to his daughter again, trying to get out of the topic: By the way, dear, what do you think we will transform the theater at home and strive to accommodate more people?

Can you accommodate me and my endless sister?Lily asked, pouting.

God testified that she definitely didn't mean much, she just said it casually, but it was in the ears of the listener...

I just wanted to... Adrian coughed dryly under the gaze of Kate, Monica and Sophie. Before he could finish his words, a cheerful voice sounded: Does it include me too?

Following the little Emma smiled and stretched her head over, she also came to London, but it was not her aunt but Zeta Jones who accompanied her, which was worthy of fun, isn’t it?

But Adrian has no time to have fun now, and he really wants to roll his eyes.Hell, can’t you stop making trouble at this time?

But little Emma followed suit and started to cheer again: And me!And me!

Okay, you all shut up, the movie begins immediately, sit back to your seat and watch the movie honestly. After that, everyone will write an experience of watching the movie, including you, Lily!

Adrian said in a threatening tone, and his vicious expression seemed very convincing. He suppressed the troubled little guys in two or three strokes. Of course, this is also related to the beginning of the movie.

Kate's version of Tomb Raider still has similarities compared to the original version, such as Laura tied up a rope and retained the part of the slew of the villa drill.

However, there are more different things, such as appearance. Because I took into account today when making the game, and with the continuous optimization of the 3D engine, Kate's ponytail looks very similar to Laura in the current game.

More importantly, this image initially reflects Kate's cold and charming temperament. Although Kate is suitable for acting in romantic comedy and her acting skills are pretty good, although Adrian won her for the best supporting actress in "The Rules of Cider House" by Adrian, if her performance is not very good, it is impossible to nominate.

But what Adrian likes the most is her image in action movies. Kate has an indescribable ability and coolness, which is very charming. It is precisely because of this that he deliberately arranged for her to star in the movie version of "Tomb Raider".

Then another series of movies is ready, and the related novel was released a few years ago, so there is no need to worry about being accused of plagiarism or something.

Although Laura does not have a black tight leather jacket, the shirt, vest, hot pants and boots that fully restore the game fully demonstrate Kate's temperament and figure, just because her breasts are slightly smaller.

In addition, the whole movie revolves around Laura, and all the plots serve to reveal her image, so Kate is highlighted particularly eye-catching.

This is another difference from the original version, and it was also what Adrian specifically explained. What is the most popular or most important thing for the public to remember?

It is the female version of Indiana Jones, and Laura Crawford, who has been on the cover of magazines countless times in a virtual image!

It is very important to make more people who have never played the game like the movie, highlight Laura and make all plots serve her style. Similarly, Kate, who plays her, will inevitably become the audience's attention, just like the original one.

Speaking of which, should you find that porn queen to shoot an AV version of "Tomb Raider"?Such an idea suddenly popped up in Adrian's head.

The third important thing that is different from the original version is that the plot is not so fantasy, there are not so many surreal places, and it is relatively close to life!
