Chapter 70 Feng Jing and Go Back

9days ago Urban Novels 8
It's so glad to see you again, Ed.Although this is the second time we met and the number of calls has not been large, J.K. Rowling is still very welcome to Adrian's arrival.

After receiving the first royalties, she moved out of her originally simple and even embarrassing residence. Although the house is still rented now, the spacious and bright rooms and all the furniture are free of worrying about what to eat at night. It is a world of difference compared to before, so she is naturally very grateful to Adrian who helped her.

This is what you deserve, Joe, I said, your novel has great potential.

Faced with Rowling's enthusiasm, Adrian said disrespectfully that even without him, as long as Rowling is still working hard to persevere, there will be a possibility of success.

Strength is as important as opportunity. Although the role makes the actor successful, if the actor does not have acting skills, it will only achieve the vase. Therefore, many vase actresses who want to go further will try their best to get an opportunity to show their acting skills to get rid of the name of vase, otherwise they will be forgotten in a few years.

Similarly, if Bill Gates had not had a mother who served on IBM's board of directors, it would have taken at least twice as long to develop Microsoft; but if he had no talent himself, the Microsoft empire would have been unable to be established.

Even Adrian himself, whether he was in his previous life or the previous one, although he had many shortcomings, he was not without talent, even if he was just a copy of the movie, and his ability to compose pictures, he could only be empty talk for various reasons, either there was no place to display or no opportunity to display.

So he was calm in the face of Rowling's gratitude. This was not the first time nor the last win-win situation.

Yes, win-win, Rowling made a fame and became a rich man and completely changed her life, and Adrian also further strengthened her company through the Harry Potter series.

This kind of growth is not just about money. The value created by the "Harry Potter" series is more than this. If it works well, it will almost complement AC Media in all aspects.

In addition, there are many intangible assets, such as Rowling's legendary inspirational story, which will definitely increase the popularity and influence of the publishing company by several levels, and Adrian's vision will also be more eye-catching.

Although Adrian was very calm and calm, the little guy who was clamoring to follow him pulled Rowling and chattered, thinking about knowing the next story, and was very unsatisfied. Rowling had read two passages for her, but she still looked at her with a gaze, but her appearance was hard to refuse.

Okay, I will read it to you after Qiao finishes writing it. If Qiao reads it to you now, I will not read it again in the future.

Adrian finally took Emma away from Rowling's house by half coaxing and half threatening.

As for the second part of the entire series, Adrian did not urge Rowling too much, but just expressed his expectations slightly.

Rowling was quite satisfied with her current life and never expected that the novel would become so popular in a few years. So if Adrian told the truth, it would put too much pressure on her. It would be not good if it caused a change. When Rowling reads the story to Emma, ​​he was next to her, and the main plot still did not change much.

After returning from Edinburgh, the filming of "Emma" is almost over. This kind of film with basically no special effects or big scenes is relatively simple to make, as long as the director can get the benefits of British style.

British style is actually retro. Well, this statement may not be so correct, but it cannot be considered wrong if you analyze it carefully. Almost all British style movies have traditional clothing, old buildings and the ups and downs of speaking. If time is modern, remove the first one.

After all, compared with the United States, which has less than 300 years of its founding, the United Kingdom has a long history, and it still has some accumulation and precipitation. As long as it can show this feeling in the movie, it is a work full of British style.

If special effects and large scenes test the director's overall view, such a movie tests the director's control over details. For example, in order to show that historical atmosphere, the colors of the picture usually appear dim. How to maintain this feeling in the warm and cold colors of the emotions is often the key.

For other directors, this does require careful treatment, but in Adrian's eyes it is a very simple thing, and he has a reference picture.

Moreover, he had a good idea of ​​detail handling. He had watched ten movies a day in his previous life and analyzed them in detail. In addition, he had been working in Hollywood for several years. Although he still lacked in scheduling of big scenes, the details could definitely be ranked first, so he could easily make it.

Okay, this is the last scene. Guys, we can have a complete rest after it is completed. Don’t waste everyone’s time, okay?

Adrian, who was sitting in the director's chair, said loudly, then sighed in a low voice.

It was just a few simple shots, but I didn’t even pass one shot after four or five times. It was really a shame.

Cult!Adrian shouted again, and before he could speak, Gwyneth raised his hand embarrassedly.

Sorry, sir, my fault.

She looked so cute with her neck shrank, so Jeremy Northon immediately took on part of the responsibility: And me, sir, I was so excited, so I remembered the wrong steps.

Seeing this, Adrian, who was already ready to mock her, couldn't speak anymore. After glaring at them for a moment, he suddenly got up and walked to the set, rang an instruction to play music, and then hugged him on Gwyneth's slender waist.

I'm giving you my own demonstration now, Gwyneth, I hope you can concentrate instead of always thinking about getting a break right away.

Adrian looked at her with a serious look on his face. He always called her full name on the set, and she called him Mr. Even if everyone knew they were ambiguous.

Yes, sir, I promise.Gwyneth quickly replied with the same expression, otherwise she might laugh in the next second, in fact, Jeremy who was leaving outside was already smirking.

Also, don't make mistakes, otherwise you will pay the price.

Adrian continued, sounding like a very normal warning, but Gwyneth saw a teasing smile in his eyes. In addition, when the other party said this, he held his arms around his waist and pinched it lightly or seriously. Will she still not know what Adrian meant?

In publicly teasing her so provocatively in front of everyone, Gwyneth couldn't help but tremble slightly, and a light red flashed across her face. Fortunately, she controlled herself in time and maintained her previous expression: Yes, sir, I promise.

The music finally rang, and Adrian immediately pulled Gwyneth to jump up.

The final shot of this whole movie is actually very simple, it's just a dance party. It's just that Adrian wants to better show the British style of the Victorian era, so he chose a more complicated social dance part that added to the British style. However, he didn't expect that Gwyneth was not familiar with these, and many extras were the same, but he ended up backfiring.

I don't know you'll actually jump to this, Ed.Gwyneth held Adrian's raised hand and turned around, and after returning to his arms, he said with a smile, charming and cute.

Although it is still on the set and the music has not changed, it is no longer under the shooting situation, and there are also many people dancing around.

Even though they spent a lot of time on the shooting, they were finally completed smoothly. The next step was naturally to hold a small party through this place. This was what they prepared at the beginning, so the two jumped together for the second time.

Practice makes perfect. As long as you jump a few more times, you will master it. Maybe faster than me. I still remember the amazing appearance when I first met you.Adrian smiled as he hugged her waist tightly.

So why didn't you tell me earlier?Gwyneth asked with an eyebrow raised.

It was precisely because that time I was impressed that I think it was a piece of cake for you.

Adrian immediately laughed, and the girl realized that she had fallen into the trap, and immediately punched him angrily and pretended to leave.

If you leave, I will have no partner.How could Adrian let this happen? He immediately hugged her tightly.

You can also find your beautiful female assistant.Even so, Gwyneth returned to her previous position.

OK Gwyne, if you feel you're hurt, then I apologize.

Adrian blinked with a smile. Obviously, I should have put the wedding scene to the end, not the previous dance.

oh?Gwyneth looked at him without objection.

In this case, I will definitely notify you earlier, and you will have more time to prepare and there will be no embarrassing situations before.

Adrian said this and leaned into her ear and blew gently. More importantly, I can watch the most beautiful you end the movie.

The most beautiful?Even though she still seemed uncommon, she took a deep breath from the itch coming from her ears.

Yes, you are so beautiful in a classical wedding dress.

Adrian sighed, "There is the noble and holy as an angel, and the elegance and loveliness of a famous lady, so I hope that when the angel comes to my room tonight, he will wear this amazing beautiful dress."

What if it is broken?Gwyneth's eyes flashed with a different light.

Then keep it as a souvenir.Adrian then replied without hesitation in a affirmative tone.

After the filming of "Emma", Adrian wanted to go back to Los Angeles immediately, after all, he had been away for several months. Although he had been back halfway and even participated in the Oscar and won the Best Director, many things could not be handled in a short period of time.

Unfortunately, he couldn't leave for a while. In addition to transferring the post-production of "Brave Heart" in London studio production, there are some things to seize.

I've seen the entire movie roughly when I returned to Los Angeles. Frankly, you performed great and I believe you have a good understanding of Diderot's serious comedy.This movie may not have much box office, but it will definitely be popular with many people.

Adrian said seriously at the girl in front of him.

Thanks.Rachel Weizi replied lightly, with alertness in her eyes, but more of it is still indescribable.

If you have time, you might as well read this a few more times.Adrian didn't say much, and handed a book to her.

This is?Rachel asked in confusion after seeing the cover clearly.

Guess which role you are suitable for.Adrian smiled and shrugged.

I think...I'm still... Rachel hesitated for a moment, hesitating as if he wanted to refuse.

Don't reject me so quickly, Rachel, can you read the book first?Ever since you first came to my office that day, I knew that this character was yours.

Adrian said sincerely as he looked at her.

Rachel showed a look of surprise, and didn't know what to say for a moment. Adrian grabbed her hand holding the book and pressed hard: Please don't let me down, Rachel.

The voice was very light, but it had an irresistible force. Rachel opened her mouth but didn't say a word. She just stared at him blankly, her eyes still complicated, but that little bit of alert was already in danger.

OK, I'm leaving, although it's a pity that I can't get into your house again.

Adrian then laughed, patted her hand and looked around the house with some regrets, and turned around and walked into the car freely.

Even though I had already walked far away, I could still see Rachel Weisz standing blankly at the door.

Adrian chuckled in his heart. Although he took advantage of the news from the Independence Day crew to visit Rachel's home in London, he did not expect that the other party would refuse him to go in.

Of course, Rachel didn't explain it too clearly. If Adri didn't understand the installation and went in directly, he might not be stopped outside, but if he really did this, that would be the stupidest way.

So Adrian was also very straightforward. He abandoned all the things he had originally prepared. He turned around and left after he made a few words. Although he had far less contact with Rachel than other women, he was very clear about her thoughts. Wait and see, don't think this would be useful.

Time unconsciously reached early June, and Adrian finally returned to his base camp Los Angeles. He originally wanted to bring Emma with him. The little guy was very popular everywhere. Although she was around him sometimes had trouble, it sometimes played an unexpected role.

Unexpectedly, the little guy actually rejected him.

Anyway, you have been here for several months, and I am very content, so I won’t bother you.

Emma said with a giggle at the time, as if I was thinking about you. Even if Rodeline asked her to say this, it could be seen that the little guy was already precocious.

Although Adrian felt like he wanted to sigh, it did not last long. Some things need to be changed after all, as long as some things have not changed. For example, Emma immediately added: But if there is still time this year, you must come to see me, holidays are not included!

There are a lot more things to do after returning to Los Angeles. As long as you focus on filming in London, even though tabloids come to harass you from time to time, there is only one thing in general. Later, there is only one more thing to ask about the later stage of "Brave Heart".

But now it’s different. I asked about many things when I came back when I took the time to ask about them, but it was just a matter of asking. Even if I had any ideas, I didn’t have much time to explain them one by one. Now that I have finished it, I will naturally have to make up for it.

Of course, the first thing is the later stages of the two movies. The preliminary editing of "Brave Heart" has been completed. Now, we will wait for Adrian to take the initiative to deepen it. Due to insufficient communication in the soundtrack, his main energy at that time was on the filming of "Emma" and the songs composed by James Horner were rejected.

Now that I finally have time, I naturally have to squeeze Horner out so that Adrian can recommend him to Cameron.

"Emma" is relatively easy. After watching all the films, you can ignore it after you have fully communicated with the editor, and then wait until the initial editing is completed.

Then there is "Amateur Thief" finally released before the summer vacation, and yes, it is the one that Adrian lets Rachel play the leading role and warms up for, plagiarizing the work of Woody Allen a few years later.

This period is a little worse than "Flying with You". Although "Flying with You" was released in the off-season, there were no competitive and good works during the same period. With Adrian's support, so it has won 30 million box office so far, so it is definitely no problem to maintain the cost.

It's different now. Although the summer vacation has not yet begun, many entertainment productions that have rushed to the box office have been released. They can't compete with those big companies, so they can get a share of the pie when they come first.

In this case, the commercial value of "Amateur Thief" is not as good as those B-rated films, let alone the box office.

Adrian also knew this, but did not raise objections to the film company. Anyway, the main purpose of this movie is to warm up for Rachel and increase its popularity. The box office can get as much as the box office. The key is to have a good reputation. Besides, making small-cost movies that cost losses from time to time can also serve as some cover-up.

He has indeed seen the finished product of "Amateur Thief". Although it is very different from the version of Woody Allen, some unimportant plots have also been changed to something beyond recognition. After all, it must be in line with Rachel's age.

But Ian Gic, who was recommended to direct and produced many independent films, has generally grasped the theme very accurately, which is the serious Diderot-style comedy that Adrian told Rachel before.

When I want money, I plan to rob the bank all day long, but after I have money, I am always in a state of dismay.

Rachel's performance is indeed very outstanding, and it has become a bright spot in this black comedy. At least in Adrian's opinion, it is a very interesting movie, and critics usually like very interesting movies, so just put some effort into the promotion...

How about this slogan for works similar to Woody Allen’s style?Adrian thought like a prank.
