Chapter 262 New Movie

What, is there any problem?Adrian, who was casually dressed in a baseball cap, looked at Blanchett with a smile.

I didn't expect you to pick me up.Blanchett looked at him curiously.

It's really sad.Adrian immediately showed a look of being hurt, which I said on the phone.

Yeah?Blanchett was a little stunned. After several hours of flight, she slept on the plane for a long time, and she certainly couldn't remember what she said on the phone before.

Don't care about these things, let's talk while walking.Adrian said as he came to her side, took the suitcase from her hand very gentlemanly, and made a gesture of asking for help.

Blanchett smiled slightly, walked out with him, and after putting his luggage in the back compartment and getting into the car, she asked again: Why do you dress like this, Ed?

For unnecessary trouble.Adrian smiled and told the driver Glover to drive.

An unnecessary trouble?Blanchett was a little puzzled.

The airport is very lively today. Just now, Baldwin and his wife entered the boarding gate under the chasing of reporters. If they saw it, although there is no big problem, there will be some trouble.

Adrian explained.

Blanchett then suddenly pointed, obviously thinking of his scandals, and for some reason her eyes suddenly became a little strange.

Adrian shrugged indifferently and asked remindedly: By the way, where should we go?

Oh, sorry, please send me to the Merry Hotel on Brandon Avenue.Blanchett said to the driver.

Merry Hotel on Brandon Avenue?A good place.

Adrian said recallingly, "Near Makenzi Street, transportation, shopping, and tours are convenient, and the service is thoughtful and the price is affordable, so you have a good vision."

Thank you, your memory is also very good, Ed.Blanchett said immediately, and the two of them immediately laughed together.

During this conversation, the car soon arrived at the destination. Adrian took Blanchett into the room and said goodbye.

After flying for a few hours, you must be very tired. You should take a break early. We will contact you in a few days. It just so happens that the movie will take a few days to complete.Adrian said so.

Preparation is complete?Shouldn't you audition first?Blanchett asked in surprise.

No need.Adrian shrugged, and based on what we talked about on the phone, about the plot and the heroine, I can be sure you are the most suitable, Kate.

You... do you really think so?Blanchett looked at him with some dismay.

certainly.Adrian smiled and naturally reached out to brush over her hair on her sideburns. My eyes would not be wrong.

You seem to say this every time.

Blanchett's mouth moved as if he wanted to laugh. Adrian didn't say anything anymore. He politely turned around and wanted to leave, but he immediately thought of something and turned around: By the way, Kate, my new movie will premiere in a few days. Are you willing to participate?

The premiere of the new movie?Blanchett showed a hesitant look, it seemed that it was not appropriate?

It's nothing, just treat it as a party. Besides, the male protagonist and the director will attend, and you happen to be communicating at the premiere, right?Adrian laughed and decided.

After coming out of the hotel, Adrian got into his car and told the driver to go back to the villa, then leaned on the seat and breathed a long sigh. Very well, Blanchett had arrived in Hollywood, as long as she came, this is his territory.

As soon as his thoughts changed, his attention immediately shifted to the upcoming "This Killer Not Too Cold", which was supposed to be released in early January, but because the company's resources were all concentrated on "Piano Lesson", "Philadelphia Story" and "Schindler's List", the promotion was not satisfactory.

The reporters only know that the director of Miracle has a new work, but they have not paid much attention to this new work. This is compared to the movies of Schindler's List. After all, the three movies have their own gimmicks, such as female directors such as homosexuals and the Jewish Holocaust.

Of course, there is also "This Killer Not Too Cold". The relationship between Strange Shushu and Little Loli is the best gimmick, but the problem is that unless it is a sign like "Lolita", it describes the relationship between adults and minors. Oh, it should be said that it is a work of abnormal love. If other film and television works are involved, they will definitely be boycotted.

It is not unrelated to this that Luc Besson would fail in the United States. Because of this, Adrian deliberately downplayed this feeling even more when copying it, and acted more plausible. If he still used this gimmick to promote it now, wouldn’t it be like shooting himself in the foot?

Anyway, many blockbusters released in Christmas and New Year still occupy major theaters, so it is not a big deal to push them back. Anyway, although the schedule between mid-January and late February is not as hot as Christmas and New Year, it is quite good. Many romantic comedy movies are selected to be released on February 14, such as "Delicious Love".

It doesn't matter, as long as the story is excellent, the audience will like it.Adrian thought so and looked out the window, then raised the corner of his mouth when he thought of something.

……

Speaking of which, you are so beautiful tonight.Adrian withdrew his gaze from the car window and turned his gaze to the girl in front of him, smiling and hiding his appreciation.

Do you really think so?

Natalie, who was sitting opposite him, had her mouth curled up. She was wearing a brown long-sleeved vest, with two skirts folded underneath, her slender calves exposed, and a pair of flat shoes of about the same color as her clothes, and a darker colored bud hat. Her straightened hair hangs down from both sides, which was quite literary and elegant.

Of course, do you think I can tell lies?

Adrian smiled slightly. Although we kept in touch through letters, I really didn't expect that in a few months, you became more beautiful and cute than before.

Thank you for your compliment, but... why does this sound a bit strange?

Natalie frowned slightly, but her face turned red when she thought of something. She twisted her head aside uneasyly, and she grinded her teeth and secretly glanced at Adrian with a mixed embarrassing, awkward and dissatisfied look.

I can't wait to see you appear in front of the reporters, and they will definitely be amazed by it.Adrian did not go on, but sighed instead.

Perhaps because the carriage was dim and street lights flashed from time to time, making him unable to see her appearance clearly.

So the little girl decided to shut up and stop talking, but unexpectedly, Adrian immediately said: I'm glad you can come to Los Angeles to attend the premiere, Nada.

There was no way, someone called dozens of phone calls to my house. If he didn't agree, maybe he would rush to my house to kidnap me.Natalie rolled her eyes in anger.

Oh, this is a good idea, why didn't I expect it?Adrian suddenly slapped his face. If I had flew directly to your house at that time, I wouldn't have had to make so many calls.

Natalie couldn't help but roll her eyes again, she looked quite cute.

In this weird atmosphere, the RV came outside the premiere theater. Adrian got off first, and then Natalie, who was very gentlemanly, reached out to her hand.

Before the little girl got off the car, countless flashes started to ring. Although she was mentally prepared, she was still shocked by the scene and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Adrian, who was standing behind her, reached out to cover her hand in a timely manner and supported her little waist, allowing her to maintain balance and not make any mistakes.

Natalie, who is good at judging the situation, was so obedient that she did not look up, but just secretly shook Adrian's hand to express her gratitude.

Mr. Adrian, what made you choose a hot action movie for your new work?

Mr. Adrian, some viewers who participated in the preview thought that some of your new work were too unbearable. What do you think about this issue?

Mr. Adrian, does this movie mean you are about to turn completely to commercial genre filmmaking?

The reporters' voices rang out. Facing these guys who wanted to hold him and pry his head open to see what was inside, Adrian kept smiling, but did not answer a single question. He just grabbed Jean Renault, who was walking in front of his RV and got off at the same time, and posed with Natalie for the reporter to take a photo.

Are you not going to say something, Mr. Adrian?!After filming this for a few minutes, seeing Adrian and others walking into the theater, a reporter immediately started to scream.

How many words should I say?

Adrian raised his head and thought, OK, so let me introduce it again. This is Jean Renault. People who know some knowledge of French films should have an impression of him. I met him there at the Cannes Film Festival two years ago, and then I found that he was very suitable for the male lead of the movie I was conceiving. We had already made an agreement at that time.And it turns out that my judgment is correct, and his performance is very exciting.

As he said that, he looked at Natalie beside him again: And this is the heroine Miss Natalie Portman!

Some things are still moving along the original track. For example, in order to prevent affecting family life, Natalie changed her last name and used her grandmother's last name Portman as her name in the movie circle, so Natalie Herrag officially became Natalie Portman.

Thank God, I gave her a second audition, and this movie would have lost at least half of its color without her. She is the smartest, most mature and most acting girl of the same age I have ever seen!

Adrian said this, not stingy with her praise, while Natalie put her hands behind her back, and asked the reporters to take photos with a smile.

OK, that's it. If you have any questions, please talk about them after the movie is over.

Seeing that the reporters were still a little unwilling, Adrian said immediately, and then took Renault and Natalie into the theater.

Although this is my first time attending a premiere in the United States, I want to say that American journalists should understand the rules a little more than French ones.Renault sighed as he walked.

Don't think that American journalists will not chase and entangle and will not stuff the microphone into your mouth, but we walked very fast and did not give them time to react.

Adrian teased that if you stay for a few more minutes, you will know that they are no more gentlemanly than their English counterparts.

This is, British journalists, or those tabloid reporters in the UK, are probably the craziest guys in the world.

Renault shook his head and then became angry again. French journalists probably learned from them, or those British journalists who were just speaking French.

OK, let.Adrian patted his shoulder with a chuckle, and entertainment reporters all over the world looked the same.

Then he turned his head to look at Natalie on the other side. The little girl opened her eyes wide and looked ahead with some confusion. She almost subconsciously followed him, breathing slightly rapid, and her excited look on her face seemed to be still savoring the feeling she had just felt.

How do you feel, Nada.Adrian asked after chuckling.

Well... it's great, being watched and chased, as if... with just a wave of your hand... they will cheer loudly around you... Natalie murmured, and suddenly felt embarrassed to hold her face: Sorry, I seem to be a little out of control.

Don't care, Nada.

Adrian deliberately lags behind Renault two positions, walked side by side with Natalie and reached out to hold her shoulder. Everyone would be excited for the first time when facing this situation. Do you know? When facing those reporters just now, you were very calm and appropriate, and no one did better than you.

Really?Natalie looked up and said, am I doing a good job?

certainly.

Adrian laughed. Although he wanted to touch the little girl's smooth face, he finally suppressed himself and just pressed her head. You are excellent, Nada, just from this I know that you are fully qualified to be their pursuit and cheers.And I'm totally sure that in the future, you will get much more sought after and cheers than today, and now it's just the beginning.

Oh, it’s really heart-warming, but no matter how you sound, it’s more like a lover comforting her lover than a director encouraging her actors.Renault, who was walking in front, turned around and said teasingly.

Hey, let!Adrian screamed in an angry tone.

Oh, sorry, my fault.Reno, who woke up, hurriedly raised his hand and turned his head to stop talking.

It's OK, let's just joke.

Natalie shrugged and looked generous, but Adrian saw the blush and annoyed look that flashed through her face a few seconds ago.

The group finally arrived at the front hall of the theater. At this moment, there were already people standing there, holding drinks or talking lively with empty hands.

Adrian quickly separated from Natalie and Renault. Although he wanted to stay by Natalie for a while, he still had his own things to do after all, and there were some things he didn't have to rush to do.

Hey, how are you talking?He then came to a small circle composed of two men and one woman.

Very happy to see you, Ed.

Keanu Reeves was the first to come up and shake hands with a passionate smile on his face. The reason why he was so enthusiastic was because he and Revan Phoenix became good friends in filming "Unruly Sky". Adrian saved Revan, which naturally won his favor.

You're finally here, Ed, we've just talked about you.

The second person to shake his hands was director Jane De Bunt, who also smiled, not as enthusiastic as Reeves.

You should know that when Adrian found him and asked him to direct "Tornado", he started to be a director not long ago. He had not even produced a production yet and was selling himself everywhere. Suddenly, such a big piece of pie fell down in the world, so he was naturally grateful to Adrian.

It's Ah, and I've heard a lot of stories about you from them that I've never heard before.

The third one is naturally Cate Blanchett, wearing a decent turtleneck sweater, a coat on his hands, and a cotton skirt that reaches the knees under it, black warm leg pants and a pair of high-heeled leather boots, which are dignified and generous while being a little sexy.

You're here again, Keanu.Adrian said with some annoyance at Reeves.

Is there any problem with this?Didn’t you save Ruifan?Without you, Ruifan might no longer be in this world. Isn’t that the case?Besides, Jane and Kate are not outsiders either, so it’s not a big deal to tell them, isn’t it?

Reeves's several questions made both Bonter and Blanchett laugh.

OK OK OK, where did you talk about it?Adrian couldn't help but laugh and shook his head, then changed the subject.

Some topics about the scene.

As the director, Bonter Interface said that it was a wonderful idea to limit the main scene to a bus.The outside of the carriage is blue sky and white clouds, the scenery is beautiful and pleasant, but the inside of the carriage is tense and crisis. The shadow covers every passenger's head. Setting the crime scene on the bus that can be accessed by daily in life at any time makes people feel more realistic and heavy.

Very good, it proves that it is a completely correct decision for me to choose you to direct.Adrian laughed, hoping you don't hate me for not giving you a good rest.

The movie that invited Blanchett to play the heroine was "Life and Death" that made Reeves famous. As early as September last year, Bothworth Film received the script for this movie. Adrian inspected the script received by the company every week, and naturally knew the value of the script, so he immediately decided to buy the bid.

But there is another question immediately before him. Who should the heroine choose?

Adrian was not interested in Sandra Brock, so he naturally PASSed him.

The first thing you should consider in such a movie is your own woman, but after thinking about it, it seems that Julia is the only one who is more suitable.
