"Yes, we have to admit that Adriaan is a genius. He seems to have an endless supply of ideas in his head. In the three films he has made so far, whether it was the ubiquitous British black humor in "The Smoking Couple", the dazzling editing in "Memory Fragments", or the reflection on human nature and the redemption of hope and freedom in "The Shawshank Redemption", all of them left a deep impression on people. What was even more amazing was that he was also the screenwriter of several outstanding films. Sometimes, people could not help but wonder where such a strange person came from.
It had only been two years since he started working as a director, and he had never encountered a failure. But now, it seemed that he was going to break this rule. As everyone knew, after the Oscars, Adriaan returned to the editing room to work on his fifth film. He was always so busy. But now, the question was, where was his fourth film?
If memory served him right, Adriaan's fourth film had been shot last year, and he had invited Al Pacino to be the male lead. According to his usual pattern, since he had already started working on his fifth film, the fourth should have been completed long ago. But there was no news about this film until after the Oscars.
This was a very interesting thing. When a film was completed but not released, there were only two possibilities. The first was that the film was not produced well enough, and the film had major flaws, so the producer was unwilling to release it. The second was that the distributor was not optimistic about the film, thinking that it would neither gain reputation nor win the audience. According to Adriaan's past records, basically every film would be released after production was completed. The high box office of the previous three films was enough for the distributor to take a gamble. But the interesting thing was that there was no news about the fourth film so far.
This strange situation was only understood after an employee of Bosworth Pictures accidentally revealed it. It turned out that the fourth film of the genius director was about a retired lieutenant colonel and a high school student who took care of him despite the difference in age. Simply put, Adriaan made a regular film, not a cult film with a strong personal style.
Although it was not a big deal, every director would have their own film. George Lucas also had a film like "American Graffiti", compared to Adriaan's previous films, people had to be pessimistic. Perhaps it was because of this that Adriaan changed his film again and again. He was unwilling to release it, and the distributor was cautious and did not dare to accept it.
What will happen to the film in the end? Will it still be shelved after several revisions? Or will it be ignored after the release? No one knows. Unfortunately, Pacino is also the male lead. If the fifth film that Adriaan is making still wants to make a breakthrough like the fourth, it will probably repeat the same mistake. "
This was an article published in the "Daily News". The tone seemed to be very fair. First, it affirmed the results, then analyzed, then raised doubts, and finally gave a kind reminder. But in fact, the whole article hinted that Adriaan's fourth and fifth films might be finished, especially at the end. The ending was very obvious.
This was not surprising. What kind of report could a tabloid newspaper that mainly played to the gallery have? However, such a clear praise was rarely used. Most of the time, they would come up with an exaggerated title and then continue to exaggerate the content by ten times, using gimmicks as a selling point. If such a method was used, it meant that the selling point would continue to be paid attention to.
In fact, this article was quickly reprinted by other newspapers. Then, Adriaan, who had begun to fade from the public's attention, was pulled back again. After all, the article was right. According to his records in the past two years, he had always liked to start publicity after the film was produced and then prepare to be released. Now that he had suddenly changed his method, there must be a problem. Coupled with the revealed plot, what was said in the article might be true.
Therefore, many reporters began to find ways to find out more information, hoping to know what was going on. However, Bosworth Pictures did not reveal more details. They only said that the film was currently being adjusted. This ambiguous statement immediately made people speculate more. Could this genius director, who had emerged like a rocket, really have encountered a Waterloo? Not only were the reporters speculating excitedly, some show hosts would also pretend to do some analysis when talking about this.
Unfortunately, Adriaan did not accept interviews, and he also protected his private life very well, so that the reporters could not find out his whereabouts. After all, the attention that a director received could not be compared to that of an actor. Walking on the Sunset Boulevard, one might be able to recognize Sylvester Stallone or Harrison Ford, but one might not be able to distinguish Francis Ford Coppola and George Lucas.
Therefore, the reporters quickly turned their attention to Al Pacino, who played the male lead in the film. Unfortunately, Pacino had dealt with them countless times, so he knew how to deal with them.
"I am very satisfied with my performance. This is a very unique and charming character. I like him. I also like Adriaan. He is an excellent director who is very good at manipulating the emotions of the actors. "
Look, he did not mention the plot, only talking about the characters. He not only promoted the film but also avoided the key questions. As expected of a veteran actor.
For the time being, the reporters who did not have much information could only increase the speculation in their reports. The large-scale well-known media were fine, as they knew where the bottom line was, but the tabloids unscrupulously declared that the new film of the genius director would definitely be a failure.
This situation lasted for a few days, and finally, Bosworth Pictures released a statement. Although it had nothing to do with Adriaan's fourth film, it still attracted the attention of the media. This was because their spokesperson announced that Adriaan would participate in the upcoming Cannes Film Festival with his fifth film, "Pulp Fiction"!
Cannes, located in the southeast of France, had the world's whitest and most beautiful beaches. Together with Venice and Monte Carlo, it was one of the three major tourist centers in southern Europe. Cannes, located in the southeast of France, had the world's whitest and most beautiful beaches. Along with Venice and Monte Carlo, it was one of the three major tourist centers in southern Europe.
The establishment of this film festival was quite interesting. It was organized by the French government in 1939 to fight against the Venice Film Festival, which was controlled by the Italian Fascist regime. Therefore, the location was also a picturesque tourist destination. From this, one could see the essential difference between the Berlin Film Festival, Cannes, and Venice.
In any case, compared to the Venice Film Festival, which focused on individual style and the Berlin Film Festival, which was relatively political, the Cannes Film Festival, which swayed between commerce and art, had far surpassed Venice and become the most prestigious film festival in Europe. Interestingly, not only did the French not admit this, but they also vowed that the art of film was best represented at the Cannes Film Festival. One really did not know what to say about them.
In addition, there was another attraction of the Cannes Film Festival. It was called the 3S Film Festival because of the sea, beauty, and sun. During the festival every year, there would be many beautiful women gathered on the famous seaside boulevard and the nearby beaches. They were looking forward to being discovered by the film industry's big names and talent scouts to fulfill their dreams of becoming a star. Unfortunately, there seemed to be no famous female star who had been discovered here. It was not known whether to laugh or feel sad.
As the night came, although the small city was no longer as peaceful as before because of the gathering of filmmakers from all over the world, there was still its own beauty in the bright lights.
"You really should come and see, Kate. It's so beautiful here. I went to the Côte d 'Azur on the day I arrived. The most beautiful beach in the world is indeed not just for show." Adriaan, who was holding the phone, was not wearing any clothes. He looked at the night outside the window and spoke in an aria tone.
"My tone is a little strange? Oh, of course, I am excited and excited now. I like it here. " Adrian maintained his chanting tone and let out a long breath exaggeratedly. Finally, he looked down at his lower body.
Monica, who was half-naked, was kneeling in front of him. She raised her head and bit her lip. She moved her body and looked at him with longing and fierce eyes.
"I will pay attention. Then I will rest. I will adjust to the jet lag soon." Adriaan said and hung up the phone. He looked at Monica who was kneeling in front of him and murmured, "Because I have a sexy stunner here!"
The room suddenly became quiet. The two stared at each other and did not speak again. Only Monica lowered her head for a while from time to time. Finally, Adriaan suddenly took a deep breath and groaned. His body also tightened a lot.
Monica also stopped and let out a low cry. After about ten seconds, she opened her eyes and looked at Adriaan with lust. Her disfigured face made her look unusually coquettish.
"Now … are you satisfied?" Monica said with a slight gasp. Her voice was a little hoarse with excitement.
"Oh, of course. You did very well, Monica." Adriaan's tone was still the same as before. Obviously, he was very satisfied.
Monica immediately laid her head down to do the cleaning work. Adriaan suddenly let out a happy sigh again. After a few times, the kneeling woman finally stood up. She flipped the strands of hair that were stuck together, turned around, and walked to the bathroom while swaying her hips.
After watching her enter the bathroom, Adriaan looked at the phone that was thrown aside. Although it was just a coincidence, it was undeniable that it was very exciting, and it was a breakthrough for Monica.
Watching this sexy stunner fall into his hands little by little, this feeling was wonderful. Adriaan couldn't help but think of the swaying back figure that just entered the bathroom. This hint was too obvious. He chuckled twice, then got up and walked inside.
