Chapter 156 Discussion on the Star Wars Prequel

9days ago Urban Novels 8
My opinion is to take this scene a little bit ahead of time, so it is better to listen to me in the first part, okay, George?Very well, let's go on. The entire prequel trilogy mainly tells how Anakin Skywalker was discovered by Kuigang King and how he fell into the dark side of the Force, right?

In George Lucas's conference room, Adrian talked happily in front of several heads and screenwriters of "Star Wars Prequel", and in terms of the whole idea, Anakin was afraid of revenge against the rules of the Jedi because he saw his mother being killed with his own eyes. He was afraid that his wife Padme Amidala would follow in the footsteps, so he wanted to find a way to go once and for all and sink into the dark side of the Force, and then became Darth Vader under the temptation of Palpatine, which was basically self-consistent.But the question is, can the halfway transformation be convinced by the audience?

Speaking of this, he glanced at the people in the conference room, then picked up a microphone and wrote down Anakin and his mother's names on the writing board, then typed an arrow and wrote several words: First, what we can be sure is that Anakin has a strong Oedipus complex.

A few low laughs suddenly sounded in the conference room, Lucas shrugged, and Adrian continued unmoved: He will fall in love with Amidala, who is at least ten years older than him, is the best proof. So, do you think that when your mother dies in his arms, who is already adult, is this impact big enough?Is it enough for Palpatine to impress him with a few words?

He then wrote down the name of the Sith monarch, then hit the arrow at Anakin, and when he returned, he drew a question mark on it.

Several screenwriters showed a meditative look, and one of them explained a few minutes later: According to Mr. George's setting, Anakin is a very sensitive person, so he has such an excellent grasp of the Force. You must know that even a very strong person, it is not easy to adjust when he sees his dependent mother die before his eyes.

Of course, I am not questioning the rationality of this setting, I just want to ask how to show it.

Adrian smiled and made a gesture. I am not questioning George's directing ability, but if the plot is compressed too much, then something will inevitably be abandoned when it is expressed on the screen. The audience sometimes does not understand the creator's painstaking efforts. They only think that just a few words from Palpatine made Anakin rebellious, which is very unreasonable.

Then let me tell you your opinion, Ed.Lucas stopped another screenwriter from speaking and said to Adrian with a smile, "Don't hide it anymore."

As you wish, sir.Adrian put his hand behind and deliberately bowed respectfully, and his interesting appearance immediately caused a few laughs.

My opinion is very simple, and I will express the whole process more bluntly and strongly, and advance the death of my mother to the first part. The slave owner or someone else, such as those who were won by the racing car, wanted to retaliate for various reasons, so I attacked Anakin and his group.Of course, with Kui Gang and Obi-Wan there, Anakin and Amidala, who was dressed up as maids, were not hurt, but his mother was unfortunately killed and died in front of him. Moreover, because of the attack of Sith apprentice, Anakin could not even collect the body of his mother.In the second part, Anakin often dreamed of the scene of his mother being killed. While tracking the clone legion, he accidentally met the people who attacked him, so he killed them all in anger.In this way, it will be more convincing when you are worried about Amidala's situation and being tempted by Palpatine.

Adrian said it in one breath.

The people present couldn't help but look thoughtful again. Indeed, children are like soft sludge, with very high plasticity. The shadows they are under at the age of young will often accompany them for their lives. In this way, they should be more logically convincing and relatively self-consistent.

Also, the plot of Amidala comforting the young Anakin can be arranged, so that it will be more natural for the two to be together privately in the future.Adrian added.

This is also a place to play. After several screenwriters whispered to each other, they discussed with other persons in charge, and then looked at George Lucas unanimously.

Obviously, they all think Adrian's statement is very reasonable, but it's not enough for them to think so. Lucas is the boss here.

This opinion is worth considering.

After thinking for a few more minutes, Lucas said with a clapper, and stood up with a smile, patting Adrian on the shoulder: He is worthy of being the ace screenwriter, asking for your help is indeed the right choice.

It’s just that it’s easier to see the problem from the perspective of the bystander.

Adrian said modestly, and finding problems is the simplest thing, and how to solve them is important. I am just giving suggestions. You still need to do the specific things. If there is a slight mistake, it may be unpleasant.

Yeah?So how about giving suggestions elsewhere?There are many other stories in the prequel trilogy.Lucas said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

Forget it, this is your work. You are the master of this world. You can set it as much as you want, as long as there is no conflict between the front and back.If you don't know these settings, or modify the settings every few days, such as the laser sword at the beginning rather than the current lightsaber, it would be a joke.

Adrian refuted in the same tone.

No real Star Wars fan will confuse the difference between ‘lightsaber’ and ‘laser sword’.Lucas looked at him with displeasure.

Of course, I'm just giving an example, and I think it's enough to be involved in this.

Adrian still declined his proposal. The previous ones were all combined based on his memory. Although he had watched the six Star Wars movies in his previous lives, and the animation and games also involved parts, they were still a layer of separation.

OK, I won't force you either.Lucas didn't force himself, and waved his hand to let others leave. Thank you for your comments. This is very important and has given us more considerations.

You're welcome, George.Adrian shrugged, but I want to remind you that there will be no problem with the box office of the movie. Star Wars fans have been waiting for too long, but their reputation may not be very good.

I understand that the higher the expectations, the greater the disappointment.Lucas seems very free and easy, and I just want to fulfill my wish.

Meeting your wish?

Perhaps no one will believe this. Star Wars has become a part of American culture. Lucas has made enough money with this, so how could he not want to make more?

But this did not prevent Adrian from praising a few words, and then after the others were almost gone, he thought of something and asked: By the way, what do you think of that girl?

Which one?Lucas didn't react at first, but he understood it a few seconds later, Natalie Portman?She is indeed an excellent girl, and I think she is very good.

real?

Of course, I watched all her movies. It’s hard to imagine that she could play such a different role at her age. Where did you find it?

Lucas said with a hint of grace, and it was obvious that he was very satisfied with Natalie.

No, she came here herself. When she was filming "This Killer Not Too Cold", she lost the first audition, and then she found me to recommend herself unconvincedly.

Adrian explained briefly, and honestly, thanks to me giving her a second chance, otherwise he would have missed it with a good actor.

After saying this, he paused, and then asked in a relaxed tone: So, can I tell her the good news?

Lucas, who was very happy just now, frowned. Adrian didn't urge him to look at him. He hesitated for a while before smiling again on his face.

No problem, it's her.He said so.

With his words, it is basically a perfect achievement. Everyone knows how valuable the signature of "Star Wars" is. It is difficult to be popular even if you can play an important role in it. Think about Harrison Ford.

And just before he came to audition with Natalie yesterday, Adrian met an old acquaintance here.

He is not considered an acquaintance, he can only say that he knows each other. He still hurts his heart at the beginning, but as long as the woman leaves an impression on him, he will not forget it, so he greeted him early.

I really didn't expect to see you here, Ed.Sophia Coppola smiled faintly when she shook hands with him.

He recommended an actor to George and was invited to refer to the script.Adrian didn't hide it either, and a strange look flashed across Sophia's face.

And you?He then asked, are you here to audition?

Yes.Sophia did not deny it either, but it was not an important role, it was just a maid next to the heroine. I just wanted to... try again.

Adrian didn't say anything, looked at her for a while and sighed, smiled politely and was about to leave.

This action immediately angered Sophia, and she immediately asked loudly: Why, am I so unbearable, Mr. Adrian?

Fortunately, there were no people in the corridor at that time, otherwise I would not know how many gazes it would attract.

What did I think before, and now.

Adrian turned his head and smiled with a good temper. If you change direction, you will find that the sky is vast. Sophie, I have never missed anyone. Don't forget that you are the daughter of old Frank.

After saying that, he owed his body as gentlemanly and left here, while Sophia stood there for a long time.

Frankly speaking, if Sophia competes for the heroine, the chances of getting it are still very high. Although she has been named the worst heroine by Jin Luomei, Francis Coppola and Lucas and others are still very close.

But even so, Adrian is still confident. Not to mention that he has a good relationship with the Hollywood Jewish group because of "Schindler's List", Natalie herself has an advantage.

You know, she was born in Jelualem and was only two years old to immigrate to the United States and live in New York for a long time. Although the United States does not legally stipulate that it can have dual nationality, it also does not stipulate that it cannot have dual nationality, so she is also considered an Israeli.

What's more, she has a legendary grandmother who conveyed intelligence to the Allies during World War II. The surname Portman, who was the only one who used in the entertainment industry, came from her.

In addition, she is smart and precocious, has good acting skills, and is very good at judging the situation, and the result will not exceed Adrian's expectations.

What a cute girl.

Arriving outside a lounge, Adrian looked inside through the crack of the door.

Natalie was sitting quietly on the sofa and reading a book, while her mother Shellie sat on the other side and whispered to her agent, holding her cheek with one hand and a faint smile made her look particularly quiet and beautiful.

The reason why Adrian rejected Kirsten's proposal that day almost made her realize something was because Natalie was going to Los Angeles to attend the Star Wars audition.

However, with her own means, not only did the little fairy forget about this, but she also picked her daisy.

The little fairy's body recovered very quickly. On the third day after the birthday party, she could run around like a person who was fine, although she cried for a while.

That day was also the same. At first, I screamed in pain, but after getting used to it, I quickly started to cooperate, and after finishing it, I was even reluctant to leave.

It's very interesting to say. Although among the Lolitas, Natalie was the first to hold her to bed, Kirsten was the first to pick the little daisy, which was fair.

Of course, it is also related to Natalie's relatively conservative attitude. She refused to change her position a little, let alone touch her, but her shy look was very cute and seductive.

After realizing that his thoughts were too dissipating, Adrian immediately restrained his mind.After finishing his clothes, he knocked on the door a few times and then walked in.

Ed?Natalie put down the book in her hand as soon as possible and looked at him without blinking.

However, after greeting her mother and agent, Adrian gave her an apology smile: Do you want to know what the result is?

No need.The girl bit her lips, I think I already know the result.

Ha, so obvious?It seems that I should have walked in with a calm face.Adrian said jokingly.

It's useless, I can still see it.Natalie raised her chest and hummed softly, but it seemed that she was worried.

What's wrong, Nada?Adrian, who noticed this, asked immediately.

What's wrong?Natalie asked a question.

Yeah?Adrian raised his eyebrows and then looked at her mother: Shelley, if you don’t mind, can you give us a few minutes?

Of course no problem.Shelley nodded, but looked at Adrian again at his daughter with some curiosity.

After they closed the lounge, Natalie glared at Adrian angrily: You can be bolder.

I just care about you.Adrian shrugged and sat down beside her. Is something wrong?

It's nothing, it's just... The girl sighed, but she didn't expect that the movie you mentioned was actually a prequel to "Star Wars"!

When she said this, she couldn't help but roll her eyes: God Ah, I haven't even watched the main trilogy. After receiving your call, I had to rent a videotape and finish watching it overtime, and I also had to organize some information... I was so busy a few days ago. If you told me earlier, I wouldn't be so busy!

I said, this is a trade secret... Before Adrian finished speaking, he met Natalie's contemptuous look.

Yeah?The girl asked in a lazy to pick up her arms and tilted her head.

…Okay, I want to give you a surprise.Facing this clever guy, Adrian had to tell the truth. Of course, if you want, we can use another word: take credit.

Seeing his honest appearance, Natalie giggled, her happy look was very cute, and then she suddenly leaned in front of him and kissed the corner of his mouth.

Hey, someone thought I was a bit bold.Adrian said half true and half falsely.

You are you, I am me, you can't do it, I can do it, I can say you, but you can't say me.The girl said proudly.

This is a double standard...

It's a double standard!

OK OK OK.

Adrian could only raise his hands to surrender, and then patted the girl on the shoulder: Don't worry, Nada, you really don't have the experience of starring in such a big production, but I believe this is definitely not a big problem for you.George thinks your audition is great, and I think the Queen Amidala you play will be welcomed by everyone!Anyway, don't worry.

Natalie tilted her head again, looked at Adrian for a while, and then sighed with a little depressed sigh: You always see through other people's thoughts so easily.

It's not that easy. I just noticed your emotional changes and talked to you for so long before making a judgment.

Adrian laughed, of course, more importantly, I know you.

You are so proud, Ed.Natalie grimaced at him and then changed the subject: So, is this matter decided?Can my mom and I go?

Yeah?Adrian replied unanimously.

certainly.The girl smiled sly, but no one tried to keep me.

I knew you would say this.Adrian pinched her little nose. As long as you can get your mom to agree, if you go out alone, I promise to take you to stroll around Los Angeles.

Then that's it!Natalie agreed without thinking, looking confident.

As expected, she did what she said, and called Adrian the next day and asked him to drive to the hotel where he stayed to pick her up, and got in the car openly in front of her mother.

Later he found out that Natalie used the excuse of learning that Adrian was going to Pixar to take charge of daily affairs, and thought it was rare to go and see the opportunity. Anyway, with Adrian by her side, there would be nothing wrong, so Sheli agreed of course.

It's not bad if you lied to others.Adrian, who held the girl tightly, gasped gently, and said teasingly while rushing.

I didn't...I just...I didn't say everything......I said everything...Natalie's octopus-bearing tangled around him like an octopus.

On the balcony of Adrian's mansion, the two merged intimately in the sun.
