King of Hollywood

"Obviously Adrian is happy with his new work, otherwise he wouldn't claim it's a near-perfect movie, which I take with a grain of salt, even if Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman agree I have read Stephen King's original novel, which is different from his horror novels. This is a story about hope and redemption. Judging from Adrian's first two works, he is better at those marginalized subjects. So it’s hard to say whether we can handle this story. But we have reason to look forward to his new movie, after all, “Two Smoking Barrels” and “Memento” have brought us surprises.” One of Adrian’s interviews that day The reporter wrote so in the newspaper the next day.

This is a slightly fair report, which not only stated the reasons for his reservations, but also pointed out why Adrian was so confident. Although it is only a taste, it is much better than some reports. After Adrian persuaded those words in public, many reporters criticized him in their articles, saying that he was too arrogant, but there were also many reporters who expressed their support and believed that he was qualified to say such words. The confrontation between the two viewpoints has its own reasons and has attracted a lot of attention.

Adrian, who was the person involved, did not express any further opinions. After finishing the location shooting in New York, he took time to visit his uncle and aunt, and then returned to Los Angeles with the crew to settle in Studio 28.

He is very clear that these debates are nothing but hype, and people from the marketing department and Universal are behind them, and the phrase "nearly perfect movie" was originally planned in the publicity, but now he said it. This is almost the same as after a movie is shot, the actors will say that this is their best work, it is a means of publicity.

Although Adrian knew that "The Shawshank Redemption" was sought after by so many people in the previous life, it was because of the fiasco at the Oscars that it added a lot of tragic points, but since it can get the title of the most perfect movie, it shows that it is worth it. Praiseworthy—and so it is.

Of course, the title of "the most perfect movie" can be given to you by others, but you can't wear it yourself, so Adrian used the phrase "approximately perfect" when promoting it. Whether or not such hype will help the box office will soon be known, when he returns from New York for two more busy days, with Halloween just around the corner.

With the sound of snapping pictures, Adrian walked down from the RV. A decent handmade black suit perfectly set off his 6-foot-tall figure, and he had a warm temperament with a smile on his face, which made him Appears to be outstanding.

Walking up to the promotional posters, posing for the reporters to take some photos and answering a few questions, Adrian then walked into the theater. This is the premiere of "The Shawshank Redemption". Since Universal has been brought in, and it is a medium-sized movie with an investment of 20 million, it must be unreasonable not to hold the premiere.

Thinking about the previous two films, they were basically released in theaters after the publicity, not to mention that there was no celebration banquet at the premiere, and a few red envelopes were given out. But now not only the premiere ceremony is held, but also many celebrities are invited to attend, this change is not unpleasant. Adrian, who walked into the theater hall, thought so. He wasn't lamenting, he just took it for granted, and now it's just the beginning.

"You are finally here, Ed." Universal's Elaine greeted from afar.

"Nice to meet you at the premiere, Elaine." Adrian walked over and greeted with a smile.

"Me too." Elaine laughed, and then introduced the people around her for Adrian.

The premiere is actually one of the social places, but compared to other receptions and parties, the circle is much smaller, and the participants are basically people from the entertainment industry. After chatting with the people from Universal for a few innocuous things, Adrian turned around freely in the hall, and the movie was still going to be shown for a while.

He soon found a familiar figure, and Spielberg actually appeared among the guests. Adrian was very surprised, thinking that "Jurassic Park" seems to have started preparations, he decided to go up and say hello to the other party. But within a few steps, two middle-aged white men appeared in front of him.

"Ha, Ed," the first person stretched out his hand, "It's really not easy to find you in the crowd."

"I didn't expect to see you here, Barney." Adrian showed a look of surprise. The person in front of him was the assistant of Disney's editorial department. He had dealt with him several times for the first few scripts. Barney Jacklin. Although Disney failed to get the scripts for "Scream" and "American Pie" that time, Barney has always been in contact with Adrian, and Adrian has also been fighting with Disney for a long time. Good relationship, so they get along well with each other.

Barney smiled, and then explained the people around him, "This is..."

"Eric Cahill, Disney Planning Manager, you introduced it last time, Barney." Adrian smiled and held out his hand to the somewhat surprised man.

"Has anyone ever said that you have an excellent memory, Mr. Cowell." Eric shook hands with him.

"My employees say that every day." Adrian laughed.

"I remember that because of other things, we left after Barney introduced me. I didn't expect you to remember." Eric said with some emotion.

"Every boss should remember the names of all employees." Adrian shrugged, and then changed the subject: "If I'm right, you should be here for "Ghost Horse Elf"? How do you think about it? How is it?"

"Your conditions are acceptable, but—you really don't plan to direct it yourself?" Eric asked.

"When I put Stephen King's works on the screen, I was pointed at by others, let alone directing family-friendly movies." Adrian said with a smile, and then showed a serious expression: "Please believe me, Eric, Brad Cyberning would definitely be right to direct. If not, I can be a producer."

"In this case, I think there should be no problem." Eric gave his own answer after thinking about it.

Basically, the live-action movie of "Ghost Horse Elf" was settled. After the three chatted a few more words, Eric and Barney left. Adrian knows that Disney actually has no objection to Brad Cyberning being the director. Although Cyberning's directorial works are not many, after all, he has been directing and producing movies since the mid-1980s. But they don't know what Adrian's plan is, and there is no problem if he wants to be the director. Adrian's performance over the past year is obvious to all.

That being the case, Adrian simply took up the role of producer, which can not only reassure Disney but also ensure that the film does not deviate. Although it is Cyberning who directed the movie in my memory, there is no 100% guarantee that the movie will be a hit this time. Anyway, there are several producers of a film, and he is naturally the one who holds the power of life and death, as long as he takes time to monitor the progress and shooting situation, and leave the rest to others.

Well, I can take some time now. After such a conversation, it is impossible for Adrian to find Spielberg again. Glancing around with some gloom, he started wandering around casually again. It's not an urgent matter anyway, and he might find the other party in the next second.

Just as he was turning his head around the corner, he suddenly bumped into a person. Both of them couldn't help but screamed, and then subconsciously grabbed each other. As soon as Adrian raised his head, he met a pair of brown eyes. The two were so close together that they were almost nose to nose, and a scent of fragrance penetrated into his nostrils at the same time.

The nose trembled slightly: "Lily, sunflower, peach blossom, lemon, although there are still a few that I can't smell, but I can be sure that this is Lancôme's cherished series."

"How...how did you smell it?!" The other party asked in surprise, but she quickly realized that something was wrong, and then let go of Adrian's hands and took a few steps back.

Adrian finally saw the girl in front of him clearly, with thick brown curly hair, a high nose bridge, and deep eye sockets, but the most iconic thing was the wide mouth. That's right, this girl is Julia Roberts, who was popular with the public last year because of "Pretty Woman"!

"I didn't expect you to be one of the guests, Miss Julia Roberts." Adrian smiled and stretched out his hand, as if the embarrassment just now didn't exist, "I'm Adrian Cowell, you can call me Adrian."

"Hmm... hello, Adrian, please call me Julia." Julia finally regained her composure, "By the way, you said your name is Adrian Cowell, could it be... "

"Yes, that ghostly director, the movie to be released tonight is my work." Adrian nodded.

"Wow, you are really that genius director," Julia looked him up and down in surprise, "Although I heard that you are very young, but... you are too young, right?"

"If I remember correctly, we seem to be about the same age." Adrian said with a smile, her little surprise just now was really interesting. Julia Roberts is not a particularly beautiful woman. Beautiful and beautiful are actually two words. One is a collection and the other is a subset. Beautiful is just beautiful, and beautiful includes temperament, conversation, and taste in addition to being beautiful. , figure and so on.

Julia Roberts, who is still very young now, does not have the mature taste of a few years later, but she also has her own temperament now. A black evening dress with a V-neck that sets off her figure makes her look graceful, no matter she is 20 years later What it looks like, at least for now, is very attractive.

"Really? How are you sure?" Julia's expression became a little strange.

Adrian couldn't help being a little amused. It really shouldn't be discussed about the age of the other party in front of women. So he immediately changed the subject: "Your performance in "Pretty Woman" is very good. Although there are almost no women like Vivian in reality, the movie should at least give people a beautiful dream."

Unexpectedly, Julia, who was still smiling slightly, suddenly became a little gloomy.

"Thank you." She said reluctantly.

(Let’s say it again, after tomorrow, it will be changed to three changes a day, 2000 per change, please continue to ask for recommendations and collections, and at the same time, please help to promote it, thank you very much)
