King of Hollywood

Chapter 464: Chapter 185 Emotions Surge

This is the deal: give them a sweetener, like the photos of the child king last time, and then don’t allow any other tricks to be played. However, last time the main purpose was to warn certain people in the crew, while this time it was responding to last week’s article in The Sun. The Sun this time didn’t concoct much either, which, relative to other tabloids, was quite rare. Future matters would be handled in the future; the Miracle Director understood the rules well.

In fact, it wasn’t a big deal. Adrian just gave a simple order, Charlize made a few phone calls, and everything was taken care of by the people below. Not even the headquarters of News Corporation was disturbed, let alone Murdoch.

Therefore, after maintaining silence for a few days and allowing The Sun to make a decent profit, the spokesperson for the crew then confirmed the news. Though brief, merely saying “yes” when pressed by the media, it immediately caused a sensation. This amounted to a public admission that Miracle Director Adrian Cowell was indeed simultaneously filming two contemporary British classical-style movies.

“Well, this year’s most surprising entertainment news has surfaced. Looking back, it seems no director has ever been so… crazy. To be shooting two films at the same time is indeed something Adrian could do, but the question is to what extent he plans to carry it through. We all know he is good at creating miracles, and he knows that we know he’s good at creating miracles. We also know that he knows that we know he’s good at creating miracles, but after all, this is something no one has ever done before, and it seems he has no intention of lowering his efficiency, so it’s hard to say what kind of situation we will see in a few months,” said a BBC host on his talk show, half-mockingly, though not conclusively, which was the general media consensus.

As previously stated in an article, shooting two films at the same time, let alone two different stories from the same era, is not impossible, but it entails many problems, such as mixing up the plots while filming and requiring more time and energy than shooting two films separately. In this case, 1 plus 1 often amounts to more than 2.

But at the same time, it’s not the first or second miracle Adrian has created. Not to mention the still-popular movie he financed, he already shut up those who didn’t think he could make British classical-style movies with Howards End several years ago. So, while it’s hard to fathom shooting two movies simultaneously, how should one go about doubting him?

“Generally speaking, efficiency and quality are inversely proportional, although there are many people who are both efficient and of high quality, there are limits. For example, shooting two films at the same time without intending to slow down, then what can the quality be? At least I can’t estimate it. Yes, he is a genius at creating miracles, but once he becomes too arrogant, failure is inevitable,” wrote one critic.

It’s impossible for a person to be liked by everyone; there will always be those who go out of their way to dislike and oppose him, and then pick at faults relentlessly. The reason these naysayers hadn’t surfaced before was that the crew hadn’t admitted it, and they weren’t sure if Adrian was actually doing it, as shooting two films at the same time is indeed quite bizarre.

But now that everything has come to light, naturally, they couldn’t wait to come out and criticize him thoroughly. However, where there are those who oppose Adrian, there are also those who support him.
