Chapter 60 Come and go

Although several major entertainment magazines published in April 1995 used the newly promoted Oscar-Best Director Adrian as the cover, the focus was different. For example, "Vanity Fair" has more entertainment elements. Although Adrian was wearing formal at the time, the photo on their cover looked a bit ostentatious because of the angle and light. "Time" seemed more serious and serious. On the cover was the frontal image of Adrian with a slightly frown and his hands crossed on the chair, giving people a calm and confident temperament.

It is also true that the contents of the published visits are also focused on.

I didn't aim too much at the beginning, but just wanted to make a movie that resonated with people. Forrest Gump is such an image, simple-minded, innocent and somewhat lacking in opinion. He is an atypical microcosm of ordinary American citizens. When people watch him running on the screen and experiencing so many historical events, they will have a strong sense of immersion, because this is what happened to them... The reports of "Variety Show" are basically placed on "Forrest Gump". After all, the Oscars have not been over, and "Forrest Gump" is still a hot topic.

The same is true for "Vanity Fair", but they focus more on Adrian's film talent: ...Although there have been many talented people in Hollywood, who always play as screenwriter, director, producer and produce surprising works, but there are only a few outstanding people like Adrian.If all movies that have something to do with him are included, the global box office will definitely exceed 5 billion. He can always make achievements in places you unexpectedly. The storm that caused a lot of controversy two years ago is still fresh in memory...

Relatively speaking, Time is the most fair, objective and comprehensive among all magazines. The content he reports is not only limited to Adrian's film career, but also involves a lot of other aspects.

...When I asked him how he managed the company, he paused for about two seconds, then laughed with a little self-deprecating.‘I barely care about the matter, Allen’, he said, ‘While I have a great vision in the movies, I’m pretty bad in business, so the company has always been entrusted to my best friend to manage.’

Although I know this, I am still curious about his attitude towards his company's development to this point, and his answer is both expected and unexpected.‘Claude did a good job, I have no objection. Since he is not good at it, why bother pointing fingers?Anyway, the first thing I sold Bosworth Films was to make better movies.’This is how he answered, open-minded, confident and energetic, this is what Adrian gives me…

However, the magazine's reports will be biased, although because of their different positioning, Adrian's permission to ask a question in private is also one of the reasons.

Although it is a joint interview, you must have a good relationship with them and always give some news different from other magazines. Besides, this can also boost sales.

Although this idea is a bit superfluous, it has indeed gained the favor of these magazines, and this is even more so in "Vanity Fair", which has a close relationship with him.

After the release of the new issue, these magazines have basically seen a significant increase in sales, especially "Time".

Although Adrian's exposure rate in recent years is quite appropriate, people still know a lot about him because of his previous attention, such as the youngest Palme d'Or and the controversy between the Atlantic in 1992, so even if he wins the Oscar for Best Director, it will attract more attention if there is something new.

Several magazines actually know this, so they still think of many solutions in the report, but "Time" is relatively more comprehensive. This is the first time Adrian officially recognized his identity as chairman of AC Media.

In short, after these magazines were launched, the youngest best director in Oscar history has once again become a topic of relish. His achievements and his personality have been discussed all of his works, but the most discussed is his private life.

After all, the scandal with Julia Roberts was still very irresistible, and Monica Bellucci was added later. Although it finally calmed down because of the coldness of the parties involved, people are still speculating today.

More importantly, in this joint interview, all magazine reports mentioned more or less slightly that Adrian made no answers about feelings at the beginning, which immediately made countless people think about Fu Pian and guess who he was with, Julia?

Or Monica?

Or is there someone else?

You should know that tabloids often have noses and eyes tell where to see the director of miracles and who is dating.

So Julia and the others' attention also increased a lot.

Adrian didn't know this. After the joint interview, he went to London. The filming of "Brave Heart" is coming to an end. What if he doesn't hurry up and finish it? Besides, he still has a movie to make.

And even if he knew these gossips, he wouldn't take them seriously. The facts were even more surprising than their speculations.

There are only two main shots left in "Brave Heart". One is Wallace shouting freedom during the execution, and the other is the reactions of Edward, the prince, and Isabella to the execution.

Adrian deliberately stayed at the end of the filming, and it didn't take much effort anyway, even if it was a perfect ending for the filming.

But here is a little different from the original version. Isabella did not say in the ear of the dying long-legged Edward that she was pregnant with Wallace's flesh and blood, but just cursed him that he could not obtain God's forgiveness.

In Adrian's memory, the most criticized thing about "Brave Heart" is that Wallace seems to have not been as loyal to his wife as he said, for example, when he met Isabella for the second time, she and his wife were similar in some ways.

This line that laid the groundwork for the later relationship was disgusted by many people, believing that it had ruined the image of Wallace created by the entire movie.

If you think about it carefully, it is not difficult to guess Mel Gibson's intentions. Unfortunately, with his somewhat arrogant and rough personality, it is just his delusion.

Now that Adrian is in charge of the guide, why should he do those thankless things?

Moreover, as a princess, Isabella may have a good impression of Wallace, but it is really outrageous to have sex and get pregnant. Even if this is a joke, history should have a limit.

So he rewrites this scene. Isabella does have a good relationship with Wallace, but it is limited to spiritual interactions, which is a kind of platonic love, which makes the whole story more logical.

Although Adrian won the Oscar for Best Director and broke two records in a row, the British media once again circulated around the set, he successfully completed the final shooting within a week.

And two days later, the magazine that published the joint interview was published, which made the British media, who wanted to further explore the content, lose.

When they were depressed by the studio where few people were already depressed, Adrian was walking on the streets of Luxembourg with freshly squeezed juice, and no one else was shopping with him except Sophie Marceau.

I like to walk slowly on this antique street. These buildings that hold traces of time are examples of art.

After walking to the front of a Gothic building in the old town, Adrian said to Sophie.

Do you also admit that the accumulation of history is art?

Sophie blinked as if she had discovered the New World. She draped her hair, covered her forehead with large bangs, her brown eyes shining, she was wearing a thin windbreaker, not as melancholy as usual, and had more playful and cuteness that was inconsistent with her age.

What I want to express is that art requires the accumulation of time, and although the word time is a synonym to a large extent with history, it also has its differences.

Adrian shook his finger and corrected her statement.

But aren’t these beautiful buildings having artistic value because of the accumulation of history?

Sophie said with a smile that she could be described as a clever smile, and at the same time, she also had a little complacent. It seemed interesting to catch the loophole in Adrian's words.

You can't do that, Sophie.Adrian sighed, looking at him half helplessly and half depressed.

Sophie chuckled suddenly, looking particularly relaxed and freehand, and then waved her hand: Okay, I can basically be sure, you hate European directors, Ed.

This conclusion is a bit arbitrary. Sophie, I just emphasize that they don’t know how to tell stories, and telling stories is the most important part of the movie.Adrian spread his hands innocently.

Emphasize that they don’t tell stories, emphasize the importance of stories.Sophie pinched her chin and said something like this. Obviously, she didn't plan to let go of this opportunity that would make Adrian depressed.

Adrian stopped, picked up his arms and looked at Sophie for a long time, and suddenly said: Try to be a director, Sophie.

Be a director?Sophie didn't understand and looked at him.

It's Ah. You have acted in so many movies and you should also have some understanding of the director's work. How about trying to direct the work in the department?

Adrian pinched his chin and said, "If you go to make a movie yourself, you will have a more direct and deeper understanding of the director industry. I can invest, as long as you agree, but remember not to direct and act yourself, as that will distract you. What if you can't do well on both sides?"

This is really... Sophie made gestures and didn't know what to say, her expression seemed a little floating. Adrian's proposal obviously touched something in her heart.

I won’t talk about this for the time being, find a place to have lunch.Adrian patted her on the shoulder with understanding.

The two went to Luxembourg Grand Canyon for a tour in the afternoon and visited many distinctive streets. They didn't return to the hotel they were staying at almost ten o'clock in the evening.

What a wonderful day, thank you, Ed.Sophie said with a smile as she stopped at the door of her room.

It should be me who thanks you, Sophie, thank you for staying with me for several days.Adrian's tone was full of sincerity.

Anyway, there is nothing else to do for the time being, just treat it as relaxing.Sophie shrugged, her eyes becoming a little floating.

The two of them didn't say anything anymore. Sophie's hands were stirring together and moving, and he looked at Adrian from time to time. Adrian's eyelids drooped, looking at the ground and wondering what he was thinking, the atmosphere in the corridor became subtle.

After a long time like this, Sophie sighed softly: You are going back to Los Angeles tomorrow, right?

Yes, the new movie has been completed, and everyone needs a break, so it just so happens to take this opportunity to go back and deal with some other things.Adrian nodded.

Then, the road is smooth.Sophie smiled slightly, but she looked a little awkward.

May I?Adrian suddenly asked softly, Sophie looked at him without an interface.

Then Adrian came over and came to her, then hesitated before kissing her lips gently.

Although he left as he touched it, just like he did in Paris last time, Sophie could feel the nostalgia coming from her lips.

Good night, Sophie, have a good dream.Adrian smiled gently and turned around and entered his room.

Sophie stood at the door for a while, dazed, as if she was savoring something. She reacted until the passing waiter came forward to ask her if she needed help, shook her head and went into her door.

God Ah, what's wrong with me, why is it so strange.

After returning to the room, the beautiful woman began to walk back and forth in the room irritably while muttering something. After a long time of coming, she lay down on the sofa and looked at the ceiling in a daze.

I don’t know when Sophie has become accustomed to such scenes. Adrian chats with her or invites her out for a walk after the filming.

They would discuss various topics, and although they would also cause disputes due to different opinions, such as the morning about art and European directors, they never argued.

Adrian was gentlemanly and graceful. He could always notice the changes in the atmosphere at the first time, and then cleverly distract the topic and put aside the dispute.

Sophie rarely talks to others so happily over the years. Andre's appearance as if he was angry was like a child. Although she fully used her maternal side to tolerate her, there will always be bored after so many years. Otherwise, why would she completely break up with him before?

OK, Sophie, don't think so much, you can adjust it soon.Sophie closed her eyes and murmured, but how could it be smoothly understood when she was so messy?

After Adrian invited her to play the heroine in the new movie, Sophie also entrusted a friend to help investigate his situation. Everything else was fine, but those indescribable scandals gave him a discount to the impression he left in Paris, so Sophie kept a distance from him after meeting again.

After that, so many women came to the crew to find him one after another. Sophie had heard of it a little, and she could see that his beautiful female secretary must have a good relationship with him. Later, a girlfriend with a big belly came. These should have made Adrian's impression in Sophie's heart further reduce, but his words about marriage and responsibilities touched her somehow, and then they talked all the way.

Not to mention anything else, at least when chatting with Adrian, Sophie never thought about Andre at all, never once.

OK, that's it, don't think about it, take a break.

Sophie suddenly sat up, shook her head as if she wanted to throw these troublesome things out, but after tossing and turning in the bed for a long time, she fell asleep in a daze.

Did you not sleep well last night?Standing under the gangway of the private plane, Adrian pointed at Sophie's slightly darkened eye sockets and asked seriously in a caring tone.

Yes, I thought of something and went to bed very late.Sophie did not deny it, but the key points were reserved, and her complex expression never changed.

Take care.

Adrian didn't say much, hugged Sophie and then walked up the gangway, and turned around in less than two steps: By the way, I will go back to London soon, and there is still a new movie to be produced. Can I come to see you then?

Sophie opened her mouth, was stunned for a few seconds, and finally nodded with a smile: Welcome.

Well, remember I have to promise that if you really want to try a director, I can provide you with opportunities.

Adrian then said again, after Sophie showed a helpless look, he entered the cabin with a smile.

If you don’t like marriage, you resist and fear marriage, isn’t that just the same as me?

If you want to be a director, you long to be recognized, and I can give you a chance.

Adrian, who sat down next to the window, stared at Sophie who had left and said in his heart.

You see, after you have enough understanding of someone through contact and memory, all you need to do is to prescribe the right medicine.

Retracting his gaze, Adrian opened his mouth and was about to call someone, but then he realized that he and Sophie had come to Luxembourg for a trip, and Charlize had already returned to Los Angeles in advance.

Is it true that I can’t live without her for a moment?

Adrian shook his head with a chuckle. Thinking of the situation that day, he couldn't help but feel hot again. He accidentally took such a big step, and it seemed that he could soon enjoy the full version of the office passion.

Look, this is the nature of a man. Sophie has only been away from him for a few minutes and he has already started thinking about Charlize.

After more than a week, Adrian returned to Los Angeles from London again. The crew of "Brave Heart" returned part of it, and some remained in London, because there was a new movie about to be filmed in the UK again, and Adrian would have to rush back in a few days, so the later episode of "Brave Heart" was produced in London just like "Two Big Bulleys".

If it weren't for dealing with things, he wouldn't want to run around like this. The jet lag alone would be lifeless.

It’s not that Adrian doesn’t want to finish everything in one go, but that some things cannot be done immediately, such as comforting Kate’s belly getting bigger and bigger, or paying attention to the acquisition case, and the protagonist of the Titanic, etc.
