Chapter 355

When the Daily News article first came out, it caused some trouble for Adriaan. In order for Pacino to win the Best Actor Award, Acquainting With Women was scheduled for the end of the year. If it were to enter the public's attention now, it could easily destroy their enthusiasm. At this time, whether it was to immediately promote and prepare for the screening, or to wait for these rumors to automatically spread, it could cause the whole plan to fall short of success. Moreover, Pulp Fiction was going to attend the Cannes Film Festival soon, and it might be affected.

Fortunately, Laffern thought of a way. He would first think of a way to muddy the waters, then use the topic to keep the public in suspense. As long as the movie was released for a few months, these problems would no longer exist. However, it was more troublesome to implement. Although the movie could be released a little earlier, for example, it was originally scheduled to be released on Christmas Eve, but now it was Thanksgiving Eve. However, it would require a lot of manpower to carefully guide the public's opinion.

Fortunately, Laffern had been doing a good job until now. However, as Pulp Fiction was released, he would have to focus on the new movie. Hence, Laffern suggested to temporarily ignore Acquainting With Women for a few weeks. However, he had forgotten the style of Pulp Fiction. After it was released, it would inevitably cause more controversy. Hence, it was not appropriate to ignore it.

However, Adrian immediately provided a solution, which was to continue hanging on. It was a good thing for a movie to have controversy. As long as the topic of controversy was appropriate and could be controlled to a certain extent, it would only be beneficial to the movie. Many young directors and actors relied on this method to enter the mainstream.

Although Adriaan didn't need to use this method to increase his reputation, it was still a good thing for the movie's promotion if it could cause the right controversy. Of course, it still depended on how Laffern handled it. However, not only did he have to do the public relations for Pulp Fiction at the film festival, but he also had to plan the subsequent promotions. It would not be easy for him to do it well.

Laffern raised the same question, but Adriaan waved his hand and said, "As long as you try your best." That was indeed what he meant. If it had been two months ago, he would not have felt indignant. After all, he had planned for so long and calculated so much. Of course, he could only succeed.

However, after talking to Claude at the golf course, Adriaan was much more optimistic. No matter how much he calculated, no matter how much information he knew about the future, he could not control everything. It was just like how he thought he could make ten times the profits from robbing the Soviet Union. But, Claude brought him a hundred times the profits.

In fact, Adriaan knew this very well. He was just trying to seize the opportunity before the butterfly effect occurred. Therefore, he now told Laffern that as long as he did his best, he could accept any result.

After this year's matter was over, he should consider giving Laffern some better treatment so that he could continue to work in this position with peace of mind. This was what Adriaan. After putting those things down, he appeared to be calmer and more rational.

Alright, let's talk about these things later. As the audience entered the screening hall, the movie was about to begin.

…

At the beginning of the movie, Little Rabbit and Little Pumpkin were discussing the robbery in a restaurant. A few minutes later, it was Travolta's character, Vincent, and Jackson's character, Jules, chatting while driving. Frankly speaking, the beginning was not very good. The conversation lasted for a few minutes, and it was all nonsense. Well, it wasn't all nonsense. Adriaan made a small change here.

In his previous life, he had once heard a comment about two directors who liked to use dialogue to move the plot forward in their movies, and who would say "f * ck" from beginning to end. Although Gary Fitch had a lot of dialogue, every sentence was related to the situation above and below, while Quentin, from beginning to end, most of his words were nonsense, like the words of the bored people on the streets.

Since he had already copied The Smoking Pipe, he couldn't deviate too much from the script. Therefore, when Adrian was writing the script, he rearranged the dialogue. Not only did he add some corny jokes, but he also tried to link them to the plot as much as possible.

Although he had copied everything, he had also read many scripts. Just like the saying in his previous life, "Familiarize yourself with 300 Tang poems. Even if you don't know how to compose poems, you can still recite them." He was very familiar with the writing of a script. Moreover, he had revised many scripts in his previous life. As for the effect, it was obvious from the occasional laughter in the theater.

Of course, it was also fortunate that the internet was not fully developed yet. The audience could generally accept such a beginning. In his previous life, many people thought that this movie was boring because the internet had made people's pace of life faster. For most people, if a movie could not attract them in the first few minutes, it could be put on the back burner and labeled as a bad movie.

As the two people on the screen found a group of gangsters to collect their debt, the story finally reached a small climax. Especially the scene of Jules reading the Bible and shooting someone. Many people felt that it was very interesting and exclaimed softly.

Then, the screen turned black. Accompanied by old-fashioned music, the title of the first chapter was revealed. The story had just begun. After Vincent and Jules returned with the box, the boss, Martha, and Butch agreed to let Vincent accompany his wife.

Next was naturally Mia, played by Monica. Frankly speaking, her appearance was average. It was not bad, but there was nothing special about it. Furthermore, her performance was not too good. Her expression was a little stiff, but with the use of camera editing and the use of montage, it was still commendable. However, in the following classic rock dance, Monica immediately regained her advantage. Her years of experience as a model had taught her how to show off her curves in various situations.

Therefore, this swing dance immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the theater. The seduction of her sexy figure was increased many times in the swing dance. Even though Adriaan had seen this scene countless times during editing, even though he had played with it countless times in bed, he still could not help but admire this scene. Even he was like this, let alone others. In the end, someone could not help but whistle, and it immediately caused a low burst of laughter.

"Did you see that? They are already drooling over you. "Adriaan whispered in Monica's ear.

Although Monica did not say anything while looking at the screen, the slight smile on the corner of her mouth clearly told the people around her that she was very happy. Adriaan chuckled. After kissing her earlobes, he then turned his attention back to the movie.

After the classic dance, it was the hilarious scene of a drug overdose. The scene where Vincent talked to the drug dealer in the drug dealer's house caused a lot of laughter, especially when he injected Mia. That cold joke made many people chuckle.

"Please, say something."

"What?"

After Mia was pricked by the needle, she screamed and jumped up. After that, she calmed down. Vincent, who was in a sorry state, wanted her to say something to wake up, so Mia directly said a noun, "What?"

Alright, no matter what, the first romantic and funny story ended just like that. Next was "The Golden Watch."

This story began when Butch's father's comrade returned from Vietnam and brought him the golden watch. Butch was only a few years old then. The people watching did not feel uncomfortable. After all, the first story had ended for the time being. They were just a little shocked by the way the golden watch worked.

Then, the time immediately moved to the present. Butch, who was resting in the lounge of the underground boxing arena, officially began the second story. Butch killed his opponent and won the prize money. Then, he jumped out of the window and hailed a taxi to find his girlfriend.

Here, Adriaan used the performance techniques of the original version. He used black and white images to show the operation of the taxi. This gave the audience a surreal yet very fresh feeling, and it left a deep impression.

Alright, the story continued. Butch had planned to take his girlfriend far away. Everything was ready, but unfortunately, his muddle-headed girlfriend had forgotten the golden watch that he valued the most at home. Although the furious Butch knew that it was dangerous, he still had to take the risk to go home to get the watch. Due to a freak combination of factors, he came face-to-face with Vincent.

Just when the audience thought that the two would have a big fight like in those gangster movies, and then Butch, who had gotten the golden watch, would run away, and Vincent would chase after him and fight again. In the end, they would appreciate each other and let Butch go. Unfortunately, they all guessed wrong. The next second, Butch pulled the trigger and turned Vincent, who had not even said a word, into a sieve.

It was really shocking. The audience was stunned. In the previous story, Vincent should have been the main character. How could he be killed by Butch with a gun? And he died in such a stupid way? As soon as he came out of the toilet, he was turned into a sieve. Even the gun was his!

John Travolta, who was sitting with the crew, couldn't stop smiling when he saw this scene. He was obviously proud of the audience's reaction.

However, this wasn't the weirdest part of the story. After Butch got the watch and left home, he was planning to go back to his girlfriend's place. Unexpectedly, when he was crossing a traffic light, he ran into the gangster boss Ma Sha, who had come out to buy breakfast. Misfortune never came alone. Then, they crashed into each other and ran away. The two stumbled into a music equipment store, only to be stopped by the owner with a gun and tied up.

The owner then called a police officer, but unexpectedly, the police officer and the owner were both gay and perverted. Therefore, after a series of accidents, Ma Sha was shot in the ass. The plot had developed to this point, and the audience wanted to laugh but didn't know how to laugh. In the end, Butch broke free and saved Ma Sha. Ma Sha said that the matter between the two was over, and then warned Butch not to mention it to others. After that, the theater, which had been suppressed for a long time, finally laughed out loud.
