Chapter 52 The gorgeous curtain slowly opened

9days ago Urban Novels 8
You were so strict just now, Ed.

The little girl came out of somewhere at this time and climbed up Adrian's thighs flexibly, forcing him, who had originally planned to sit next to Kate, to stop.

Do you think it's a bit too harsh?Adrian asked, rubbing her head.

One thing, although I don't understand it very much.

Emma said with her mouth pouting, her cheeks bulging and she looked very cute, but her eyes glanced at Kate from time to time, and her tone was also hiding very well.

Ah... Adrien felt a little funny in his eyes. After pretending to rub his chin, he put the little girl who stood up on the ground: Then I'll comfort Sophie.

Kate next to him wanted to say something when he heard this, but after thinking about it, he still closed his mouth.

After pinching Emma's fleshy face and telling her to stay here, Adrian then walked towards Sophie's special trailer.

The reason why the little guy was uneasy was simply because Kate's raised belly reminded her of having an adoptive mother. Although there were constant women around Adrian, they were different from the little guy after all. If he had his own child, the energy he put on the little guy would be divided.

Although Emma was smart, she didn't understand this very well. She just instinctively felt scared. After all, the attitude of her adoptive mother's family was in front of her.

Of course, Rodeline was still very good to her, so the little one was not too sad, but Adrian was different, and her close connection made it difficult for her to accept this transformation.

However, although Adrian guessed the little guy's thoughts, he didn't take it too seriously. Even if he had a child born in a few months, he would not change his attitude towards the little guy. I believe Emma will wake up.

May I come inside?Adrian knocked on the door of the trailer, and Sophie was the only one inside.

The door is open and there is no sign of prohibition.Sophie, who was watching the book on the sofa, said without raising her head, her tone was faint, as if she didn't care about anything.

Adrian couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. He has been talking like this these days, but Sophie has never been calm and has never been like this before. It seems that today's words have indeed passed.

Sorry, Sophie.He sat down in front of her, and it was like this every day during this period of time. After the reprimand, Adrian would come to comfort Sophie when he was resting.

Unfortunately, I'm sorry that I can't exchange for wasted time.Sophie continued to flip through the book in her hand.

So, maybe I should make the opening remarks in another way?

Adrian laughed, what is better to use?A Molière comedy?A sonnet of Goethe?Or an aria?

You have no sincerity, Ed!She finally raised her head and frowned slightly, but soon realized that she had been fooled, and her dissatisfied expression immediately turned into annoyance.

Adrian looked into her eyes with a smile, Sophie's reaction was in his expectation.

OK, I'm a little angry.

Sophie sighed and looked at Adrian seriously: I have tried my best to perform. I think I have grasped Isabella's traits and done well. I believe everyone will agree, but you are still not satisfied. Then I can only think that you did it on purpose.

Speaking of this, she sighed again: God Ah, I have never had such trouble when I was filming movies in France.

This is the difference.Adrian smiled, I prefer storytelling.

Can I understand it as, you mean French movies have no stories to talk about?Sophie was suddenly a little unhappy.

Of course not, but French films or European films do not pay much attention to stories, but are more of a superficial thing.

Adrian made gestures, such as expressing an emotion through a very impactful picture, while neglecting what a good story should have, and often even sacrificing the rhythm of the story for this feeling.

I disagree with you, you only see a part of it.Sophie shook her head and said.

Yes, part of it, but this has a significant impact on the movie and the actors' acting skills.

Adrian said as he leaned forward slightly, and looked at the beautiful woman in front of him deeply: The next words may be a bit rude, Sophie, but taking off her clothes and acting are different things.

Sophie's face suddenly changed a lot, and the hand on her knee immediately clenched into a fist, but after gritting her teeth and staring at Adrian for a long time, the other party was always calm, and his tense body relaxed again, pursing his lips and saying nothing.

You are great, Sophie, very good, you can do better, I believe it.

Adrian Eyepiece continued to say this, just adjust your mindset and understand the difference between American and European movies from another perspective.

Business and art are it?Sophie asked without comment.

Our perceptions of the definition of business and art may be different, so we can find an opportunity to talk about it in detail in the future.

Adrian did not intend to get entangled in this issue. Some ideas are not so easy to correct, and this is also an opportunity.

Let's prepare, we'll continue.He said and stood up.

Sophie nodded silently to show that she knew, then she moved her lower lips when she thought about what she wanted. After hesitating for a while, she asked in a tentative tone: Are you married, Ed?

marry?Adrian smiled slightly, of course not, Kate was just my girlfriend, and the child was an accident.

So, are you not planning to get married?Sophie's eyes were flowing and she didn't know what she was thinking.

Yes.

He clicked on it, but did not hide his thoughts at all. You should know that marriage is more about responsibility. To get married, you must be prepared to take responsibility.Without the idea and ability to take responsibility, it would be a bad thing for both of them to get married casually.

After all, you just don't want to take responsibility.Sophie's tone was filled with a bit of teasing.

It's OK to say that, but.

Adrian shrugged, I am different from most people, and I know very well how great the responsibility is.If you really want to get married, you must work hard to be a good husband. This is my principle that I must take on the responsibilities that come with it.

You are so honest.Sophie sighed after a few seconds of silence.

Thank you, can I take this as a compliment?The smile returned to Adrian's face again.

Adrian finally restrained himself in the following shooting. Sophie finally met his requirements after continuing to NG for seven or eight times, but today's shooting came to an end.

That's all you said with her in the trailer?Kate asked this in the room in the town hotel at night.

Well…it seems like I should bring a recorder on my body next time so that I can record the conversation and tell you what I have.

Adrian smiled and hugged Kate from behind, stretched his hand into under her clothes, wandering on her bulging belly. Is he sleeping?

Don't try to change the topic after you're already asleep, Ed!Kate said and hit his hand, and turned around and stared at Adrian angrily, "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking!"

Yeah?So what am I thinking?Adrian smiled and kissed her on the face.

Dare you say you never wanted to sleep with Sophie Marceau?!Kate snorted through his nose.

Do you want to listen to the truth?Adrian pinched her chin and looked into her eyes with a smile.

After staring at each other for a while, Kate softened his body as if he was discouraged: No, no need.

With your personality, you can know the answer without guessing.She sighed softly and turned her eyes out the window.

Adrian had no contact, but just kept kissing the back of her neck, and he didn't stop his hand on his abdomen.

Have I been a little too sensitive lately?Kate suddenly asked.

Why did you suddenly think of this?Adrian chuckled and bit her ear beads.

Ed!

Kate moaned half-angrily, I just felt that sometimes I couldn't control my temper. Even though I knew what something was like,... I still couldn't help but want to make a big fuss.

It's normal, it would be strange if you don't think so.Adrian touched her head, you just put the idea out, pregnant women do this, so don't worry.

After pausing, he smiled again: Besides, you still know how to behave, don’t you?At least it did not disturb the normal order on the set.But the only thing that makes people dissatisfied is that you are a little too stubborn.

This is not stubbornness.

Kate immediately retorted, Haven’t you said that you can seal the mirror by mid-April at most. Even if I stayed until then, I could still take a plane, so there was no need to worry at all.

OK OK OK, do whatever you want.Adrian said in a helpless tone.

Hey, what is your attitude? If you do this again, I will tell my mom that I am pregnant!Kate said threateningly.

This is really the most terrible news I have heard, and I surrender.Adrian said as he raised his hands exaggeratedly.

Kate suddenly burst into laughter and reached out to hit him. Adrian did not dare to break his hand because of her identity as a pregnant woman. This further encouraged Kate's arrogance, and his little fist hit him more happily in the laughter.

After a long time of making a fuss, Kate leaned in Adrian's arms and rested for a while, then reached out and held his angular face and stared at his dark eyes: You're a bastard, Ed.

If possible.Adrian smacked his lips. Can he change the word?

Change the word?So do you think ‘jerk’ is better or ‘asshle’ is better?Kate asked with his eyebrows raised.

Not very good.Adrian said and stood up, rest, I'm leaving too.

leave?Where to go?Kate asked unhappily.

Okay, my dear, I have been with you these three days, and the little guy is going to protest.Adrian kissed her face.

She still wants to sleep in the same bed as you?Kate asked in surprise, she was five soon.

Yes, I know, but I can't do anything about the little guy, you know how powerful she is.Adrian spread his hands and sighed loudly.

Yes, she openly announced that she would be your woman.Kate snorted softly.

Don't tell me that you are eating jealous of a little girl.Adrian pinched her plump face.

OK, I get it, go and accompany you little guy.Kate wanted to say something, but he swallowed it back in the end.

Good night.Adrian kissed her cheek again, then lifted up her clothes, bowed her head and kissed her again on her bulging and smooth belly: Good night, baby, don’t bother mom, do you understand?

Kate couldn't help laughing, and then returned to the chair after sending Adrian to the door of the room. He savored everything before, shook his head, and then stroked his stomach, with a loving look on his face.

Kate didn't stay in London for too long. She went back almost a week later, after all, her belly was getting bigger day by day.

Although the reporters near the set left most of the time because the popularity of the matter was reduced again, there were still one or two wandering around. If they were photographed with big belly, God knew what kind of storm would cause.

The shooting progress of "Brave Heart" is still moving forward according to the plan. After the tabloids hyped for so long, because Adrian and Sophie did not respond to this, the public gradually lost their enthusiasm for attention, so they turned to other aspects, and more large-scale scenes can be taken out.

For example, the battle where Wallace was betrayed, the scene where people were discussing, or the first meeting with the princess, etc.

Because Adrian made adjustments, Clow, who had a few days off, also returned to the crew early. Anyway, there were only a few days left, so it was not a big deal to come back early. You can also show your respect for Adrian.

By mid-March, I remember that this movie, which should have been filmed for about four months or even longer, basically completed two-thirds of the shots.

Although it is very likely that it will not end at the end of the month, it is already quite soon.

But this is a normal thing in Adrian's eyes, because he knows which lenses need and which ones do not, so he avoids useless work. You should know that if you make a standard movie, it is already good to have a scrap rate of film at 50%, but Adrian can reduce this chance to 30% or even lower with his powerful memory.

He did this when he was rushing to work three or two years ago, but now he is just picking it up again.

Besides, he also deleted some shots because there is no need to add such a little gimmick, so the efficiency naturally improved a lot.

In addition, another advantage is that it reduces costs. Because the original "Brave Heart" was directed and produced by Mel Gibson, he naturally spent money on it, and the total investment exceeded 70 million.

Although the box office of the movie is pretty good, it has not exceeded 100 million in North America, and the global box office can only be considered as barely guaranteed to make a capital guarantee.

But now it has fallen into Adrian's hands. It is estimated that even if the promotional expenses are included, it is only a little more than "Forrest Gump", saving more than 10 million yuan, which is almost the investment in a small-cost movie. I have to say that he is really perverted.

During this period, Adrian also chatted with Sophie in private, and the content was varied and everything. He also showed off his skills from time to time, either playing guitar and singing old songs, or making food that is not exquisite but tastes good. These methods are all effective. Sophie was surprised and was even more curious about him.

Of course, Adrian has also instilled with her his views on the so-called art films in Europe, but he has instilled very skillfully, which is especially effective when comforting her.

European films, especially art films, are sometimes too narrow-minded, and in a sense they are made for film critics, not ordinary audiences.Adrian commented.

For Sophie, who was influenced by European movies since childhood, these are unacceptable, especially when the other party stabbed her a little. Although the strength was not very strong, it was very lasting, which made her still a little resentful, so she had to argue with Adrian every time.

Adrian was happy to see such a situation. Although he always kept a distance from Sophie, some things were caused by quarrels.

As the end of March gradually approached, it was indeed impossible to complete the filming at the end of the month, Adrian immediately slowed down the progress of the film and began to prepare for the Oscars.

Even though he has been shooting new movies in the UK, he has never relaxed his attention to Oscars. Even if there is no time to analyze some news, Charlize will record it first and take time to read it. Sometimes he just lets Charlize analyze it, and he just needs to read the results.

According to news from Lavern, the three most important awards, Best Film, Best Director and Best Actor, should basically not have much problem.

Think about it, "Forrest Gump" has received numerous praises, and has a very good reputation and will be released at the end of the year. In addition, Lavern's public relations ability has become more and more outstanding after several years of experience, and the Weinstein brothers are helping each other. If you lose like this, then something must be wrong with this world.

In addition to these three, Best Supporting Actress is also the award he cares about the most. It is already very good that Winona can get the nomination for Best Actress, and her age disadvantage cannot be reversed.

But the best supporting actress is different. There is a precedent in Oscar history that she won the best supporting actress at the age of 11, so since Kirsten has been nominated, the chances of winning are still very likely. Besides, she has an advantage that only Adrian knows.

Since she promised the little fairy to win a little golden man for her, Adrian would not go back on her promise. Besides, the little fairy's performance in front of Adrian is worthy of the award for Best Supporting Actress.

Therefore, under his advice, Lavern spent at least half of his energy and public relations methods on this.

Soon, March 27, 1995 came. After the crew was suspended from filming, Adrian returned to Los Angeles three days in advance. The 67th Academy Awards ceremony slowly opened the gorgeous curtain in the Sacred Auditorium.
