King of Hollywood

Dennis is here because he also has a role in The Shawshank Redemption. Here I have to mention the agent who signed with him not long ago, Roger Seidler.

AC Media officially acquired MCM Brokerage Company on April 5th. Although the latter has only more than 20 employees in a medium-sized company and does not have a prominent position in Hollywood, the quality of their brokers is very good. Therefore, Claude, who had just been acquired and hadn't made any adjustments for the time being, had one of the best agents sign a contract with Dennis.

And the first thing this Mr. Roger Seidler did for Dennis was to win a role in "The Shawshank Redemption". According to his words: Since he has his own advantages, why not use them?

I have to admit that this guy is very sharp. Although Adrian was stunned for a few seconds when he got the news from the assistant, he immediately agreed. "Original cast" largely refers to the three main actors, and he doesn't mind Dennis playing other roles, such as Tommy who made Andy determined to escape from Shawshank.

Besides, Dennis's performance during this period made Adrian appreciate it very much. After moving to Xilin District, he did not spend a lot of money after moving to Xilin District. Instead, he hired a nutritionist and a fitness trainer for himself. Going back to read the book, although I have attended the parties of those new friends more often, but there has never been any trouble-the last one alone is worthy of Adrian's training, how to play is up to you, as long as you know how to moderate and low key.

"I suggest that you better familiarize yourself with the script, Dan, and don't have the same problems as last night when you play with Bob at night." Adrian said at this time, originally he wanted to make himself look more serious, but Looking at Dennis's Elvis hairstyle, he couldn't help laughing.

"Elvis Presley's music is actually very good. Although it's old, I like to listen to many of them." Dennis said half helplessly and half self-deprecatingly. Adrian wasn't the first and won't be the last to laugh. It’s okay if you just wear the head of “Elvis Presley”. The key is that the image in the previous two movies is too different, and it looks very funny in the eyes of those who are familiar with him.

"Okay, let's not talk about this," Adrian turned to the set with a smile, and gestured to the scene notes.

"Scene 112, Act 47!" With the voice of the recorder, the shutter slammed down.

Bathed in the golden morning light, the prisoners in Shawshank Prison sat sweating on the roof of the repaired building and drank cold beer comfortably. The prison guards around seemed to be their security guards.

"Drink while it's cool, bitch." Even though the prison guards were no different than usual, there was still a slight difference at this moment.

And that special person was leaning against the low wall at the moment, and a prisoner who wanted to hand him a bottle of beer was rejected, with an inexplicable smile on his face, calmly as if he was free.

"Very good!" Adrian couldn't help clapping his hands. Although he didn't take the shot himself, the photographer is an old man who has shot two movies with him, and he has tried shooting twice, so he is not worried about deviations .

I have to admit that this shot is indeed very flavorful, especially when connecting the upper and lower plots, the picture will give people an inexplicable sense of tranquility, beauty and hope. Robbins agrees. He is an actor, director, and producer, so he can naturally see that this episode is different.

"Very well, take a rest, now we have finished the roof scene, and then we can start working again at night." Adrian said after playing back this scene on the monitor.

The rest of the shots are not very difficult, that is, the captain of the prison guard and his colleagues discuss his inheritance of his brother's inheritance and complain that the government tax is too high, and then Andy seizes the opportunity to help him get the full amount of the inheritance. The scene where the captain of the prison guard pushes Andy on the edge of the roof seems to be the most dangerous, but in actual shooting, there will be no problems, and there are all necessary safety measures.

It took about a morning, and the scene on the roof was finally completed. Adrian let everyone move freely for half a day. After the sun went down, he asked people to set up equipment near the barbed wire under the observation deck to prepare for the scene of Dennis.

This plot is about Tommy, a young boy who is newly imprisoned for theft. After building a good relationship with Andy, Red and others, Andy taught him the literacy test and gradually became friends. When Tommy heard about Andy's experience, he mentioned that in another prison, he heard a robber brag about killing someone. Not only was he not caught, but the banker husband of the woman who was killed was responsible for the crime. Andy immediately found the warden and wanted to find his innocence, but unfortunately, how could the warden let go of the good tool in his hand, so Andy offended him and was locked in a confinement room. In view of his refusal to yield, the warden decided to deal ruthlessly, so he asked Tommy to come out for a chat on the grounds of wanting to know the situation, and the location was... outside the prison.

Warden: Tommy, I ask you to keep our conversation tonight a secret, okay? This one is tricky.

Tommy: Yes, sir, I promise.

Warden: We are in an embarrassing situation. I hope you understand that we did not expect this situation at all. If we want to act, we must figure out every detail. Now I ask you, are you telling the truth to Dufresne?

Tommy: Yes, sir, every word is true.

Warden: Even in France, how dare you say that to judges and juries? Do you dare to swear on the Bible?

Tommy: If you give me a chance, sir!

Warden: Very well, that's what I want.

After the conversation, the warden looked at the watchtower and turned away, Tommy followed suit, and then the gunshot rang out, and the captain of the prison guard who had been waiting on the watchtower sent several bullets into his body without hesitation.

"Very good, Dan, you did a great job." Adrian praised Dennis after the stop.

The role of Tommy is very important. He seems to be detached, cynical, and unmotivated, but deep down he still longs to work hard and ask for rewards. That's why Andy started teaching him literacy, and urged him to take the exam. The crumpled test papers were sent out. It can be said that it was Tommy's death that prompted Andy to make up his mind to escape.

In Stephen King's novel, Tommy was not killed by the warden, and the warden changed three times, and Norton was not punished. But such a change in the movie makes the whole story more convincing and more impactful. The reason why fans regard "Shawshank's Redemption" as the most perfect movie is that this kind of hope-depressed-hope-repressed-hope-despair- The story mode of smearing with twists and turns allows people to vent the accumulated negative emotions at the last moment as Andy looks up at the sky in the rain. The feeling of exhilaration is incomparable.

Dennis played very well, although this is the first time he played opposite Bob, but NG grasped the feeling of the role after several times. Thinking about his previous roles, this guy is really something to make.

"Okay, let's take a few more shots from different angles." After discussing with the assistant director, Adrian called again.

Soon this not too rare scene was completed, and after shooting some fragmentary shots on the playground of the correctional center the next day, the exterior scene of the movie "The Shawshank Redemption" was considered complete. This made everyone more or less relieved. Adrian's work is really fast, and it can always mobilize everyone's emotions. I don't think there is any problem when I am busy, but when I rest completely, I will find that it is more difficult. Usually much more tired.

In view of this situation, and the staff of Mansfield State Penitentiary also helped a lot, Adrian specially arranged a farewell party and invited everyone to attend.

"Hi, dear, how are you doing recently? The exterior of the new movie has been filmed, and it will be operated in the studio. It is expected to be completed in early June... Yes, I miss you too, but it is a pity that we cannot be separated for the time being. ...It doesn't matter, I will give myself a good vacation after finishing this filming, and then I will come to London to see you...That's it, I love you."

Putting down the phone, Adrian let out a sigh of relief. Although at the beginning of April, he deliberately went to London to date Kate during the film preparation stage, he hadn't seen Kate for nearly a month, and he still missed her a lot, especially in bed...

Adrian smacked his lips and turned to walk towards the closed bar. The bar was full of noise at this time, and the loud music almost lifted the roof. Many people were jumping and dancing with the intense rhythm, looking very happy. They are not those well-dressed upper-class people. They don't need to listen to the elegant conversation of classical music. Freedom is what they need most.

Asking the bartender for a glass of wine, Adrian sat down in the corner. He was not disgusted with carnival parties, and his ability to adapt was pretty good, no matter in his past or present life.

"Hey, Ed, you called back?" Dennis appeared in front of him at this time, his face was flushed, and he obviously drank a lot, "Who are you calling? Kate?"

Adrian shrugged with a smile, but didn't answer directly: "Don't get drunk, Dan."

"Don't worry, I've always been very restrained." Dennis waved his hand nonchalantly, "You know that."

After a pause, he sighed again: "Oh, God, I can't believe it, a year ago I was still working in a cafe, and a year later I have..."

"Okay, Dan, you have said these words many times, I thought you had adjusted your mentality." Adrian said a little funny.

"It's just a little feeling, you know, Roger won an advertisement for me, and there is also a talk show in contact, so..." Dennis made a few gestures, his eyes full of emotion.

"It seems that Roger is indeed an excellent agent." Adrian echoed, and at the same time, he was thinking in his heart. After observing for a while, if Roger's performance is good, he can consider handing over his script to him. .
