"Adriaan's new film, which is also his fifth work, 'Pulp Fiction', which won the Palme d 'Or at the Cannes Film Festival, was finally released yesterday. I have to admit that this film, which maintains his usual style, is still very attractive. Too many people have described the ubiquitous details and the circular narrative structure, so I won't mention it here. The biggest feature of this film is the anti-traditional narrative story full of post-modernism. The collage of various plots and the subversion of the in-depth model are surprising and surprising. Adriaan himself admits that this is an interesting and fun film.
However, the most surprising thing is not the film. At the press conference after the premiere, the genius director personally announced that he was about to start the production of a new film. Well, I know that many people who see this will say in their hearts: Oh, here we go again. Indeed, this director, who is known as a workaholic, has started making his new film again. Sometimes it really makes people wonder whether he will die from overwork one day. But this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that Adriaan announced that the new film will be a completely artistic film!
God, a director known for his cult style, who just won the highest honor at the Cannes Film Festival and the unanimous approval of the critics, actually wants to make a completely artistic film. Just thinking about it is scary. The difference between these two types of films is probably greater than the Atlantic Ocean. I don't understand why Adriaan wants to change his style so drastically.
Well, good directors don't want to limit themselves to a genre. They are always eager to break through. This is not a strange thing. Adriaan himself thinks that he is now limited to a very small range. But a breakthrough is not guaranteed. Adriaan's previous "Shawshank Redemption" did a very good job. The cult style is not obvious, but there is a lot of humanistic care in the plot. Step by step is always the best way.
Suddenly abandoning the original style and making a new type of film like a gamble, if it fails, then the previous accumulation will fall short of success. In particular, his previous fourth film has been shelved because of the failure. It is difficult to be optimistic about his breakthrough this time.
Well, I hope I'm just thinking too much. Maybe Adriaan will surprise people. "
This was a report published in the New York Times, which basically represented the attitude of most entertainment reporters. That is, they are not optimistic about Adriaan's artistic film. After all, the debate about his fourth film has not yet come to an end, because Adriaan has hardly defended himself before. Almost everyone thinks that he has acquiesced to the news of the failure.
Therefore, many reporters think that the reason why he is so desperate to try a completely different style of film is that he was stimulated by the failure of the fourth film and the success of the fifth film. So, inevitably, some people wrote sarcastically, "For Adriaan, the Palme d 'Or brings him much more pressure than glory. Otherwise, he wouldn't want to use this method to prove himself. He even claimed that the fourth film is not a failure, and that it will be proven when it is released this year. I really can't understand why he suddenly said this. Usually, people who make such a declaration are either very confident in themselves or unwilling to admit their failure. Frankly speaking, I can't see the first point in Adriaan. "
Of course, there weren't many such sarcasm. Other than some tabloid reporters, most people's tone was relatively calm. Even if there was sarcasm, it would be just right. There were also a few reporters from the New York Times who gave their blessings at the end of the speech. But no matter what, their views would not change.
However, no matter how heated the discussion in the media was, as the person involved, Adriaan did not respond at all.
"There's no need. In such a situation, there is no need to respond. Otherwise, it will only let the reporters do whatever they want. Besides, I haven't revealed the most important thing yet. I bet they will go crazy when they know. " Adriaan said to Claude on the phone, "So, instead of worrying about me, you might as well think about the company."
He had been doing his own things according to the plan, such as contacting Hopkins or urging the screenwriters to write the script for True Lies. At the same time, he also exchanged opinions on Philadelphia Story with Dai Mi on the phone.
Of course, the most important thing was to discuss the company's situation with Claude. The acquisition of the record company was already in progress. Just like the acquisition of Bosworth Pictures, they had chosen a medium-sized record company with a lot of history. Compared to that time, they had a lot more funds, so the scope of selection had expanded a lot. It didn't matter whether the company's performance was good or bad. The key was the length of time it had been established and the corporate culture. What AC Media needed most now was a history.
Band De Grey Records was their target. The company had a few good moments in the 1970s and had also produced some popular singers. It was said that Madonna was almost signed by them – of course, it was just a rumor. In addition, they had released and produced a lot of great classical music records. In their heyday, they had a lot of excellent producers and singers.
However, there were ups and downs. In the mid- 1980s, because of a series of strategic mistakes by Band De Grey Records and the fact that they were not as competitive as the major record companies, they gradually declined. Even so, the company's distribution channels and relationships had always been maintained very well. This was what Claude was interested in.
After several negotiations, the other party offered a reasonable price. Claude felt that it was acceptable, so he reported the situation to Adriaan. Although Adriaan, who said that he knew, didn't feel anything about it, he began to think about whether to make a few good songs, such as finding a few young boys and forming a group?
However, although those songs were familiar and remembered firmly, he didn't know how to make them. He couldn't ask a music producer to come over and listen to him sing, could he? Yes, Adriaan could play the piano, the guitar, and read the staff, but it didn't mean that he could write these songs without any flaws and without suspicion.
Whatever, wait until Claude reorganized the record company. There will be a way. After thinking about it, Adriaan, who had no clue, immediately put it behind him and began to concentrate on the second most important thing.
"It's very good, very beautiful, but it doesn't match the color of the trousers. You can change to a pair of trousers with a darker color." When the figure flashed out of the dressing room, Adriaan, who was sitting in a chair and waiting, suddenly became energetic. He looked up and down carefully and said seriously.
"Really?" Kate turned around a few times and then looked at herself in the mirror. "I don't think so."
"So what's your opinion, Kate?" Adriaan said with a smile. This kind of bickering was not the first or second time during this time. He knew what Kate was worried about.
When he returned home to Los Angeles, Kate stood in the living room, looked at him with her arms crossed and said with jealousy, "Ha, you finally came back from your muse?"
He knew how unhappy she was.
Adriaan's solution was to lift Kate up, take her to the room, throw her on the bed, and whip her until she couldn't get up. He was so impolite because he had been coaxing her on the phone for a long time. It was better to have the most intimate contact with her now. Kate's reaction was indeed within his expectations. After resting for a few minutes after the first time, she turned over and rode on him for the second time. This was the best proof.
Although this small barrier was easily resolved, jealous women were often unreasonable, so during this period of time, Kite couldn't help but bicker with him. This was also the reason why Adriaan listed the date with Kate as the second most important thing.
Watching Kate go into the dressing room to change clothes after the audition, Adriaan smiled. Bickering was one thing, but she would still listen to his opinion, so he didn't need to worry too much.
Thinking of this, Adriaan couldn't help but pinch his fingers, and Monica's figure appeared in his mind again. Soon? No, no hurry, it was better to do everything step by step. There would be bread, milk … there would be.
After shopping, he discussed with Kate, and the two returned to the villa to make dinner together. As before, Mrs. Galen had prepared Mexican rice and bacon before leaving. They only needed to make some salad and soup.
"I am good at making soup." After tasting the soup in the small pot, Adriaan boasted.
Kate, who was cutting the tomatoes, snorted and threw the diced tomatoes into a glass bowl. After washing her hands, she poured the seasoning.
"Well, Kate's English salad is also good." Adriaan smiled and grabbed her waist from behind.
"How does it compare to the Italian salad made by your muse?" Kate rolled her eyes.
"Please, do you have to use this title?" Adriaan sighed exaggeratedly.
"Then what do you want a jealous woman to call you?" Kate turned her head and wrapped her arms around Adriaan's neck. Her expression was a little serious, and there was a flash of hesitation and worry in her eyes. "Amy … My friend told me that when a director calls his female lead 'Muse' … it's not a good thing."
"Do you remember what I told you on the phone?" Adriaan smiled and reached out to touch her nose. "Most of the time, a goddess can only be seen from afar."
Well, most of the time, that was true.
Kate looked at his unblinking dark eyes, and suddenly turned around to pick up the glass bowl. "Okay, let's have dinner first."
Adriaan immediately pressed her arm. "What, is that enough to end the topic?"
"Then what do you want, Mr. Adriaan?" Kate gave him a sideways glance.
"I'm going to London soon, and I won't be back for a few months, so —" Adriaan pressed his body against hers. "I want to eat you here first."
"Here? Are you sure you can eat me? "Kate suddenly reached out and grabbed his crotch.
"Try it and you'll know!"
