King of Hollywood Chapter 117: Ready

"Don't think so much, that is, a few days, Kubrick will not procrastinate for too long." Adrian wanted to say something, but in the end it just waved his hand. Of course, as always, a snapping sound rang on Charlize's hips. Charlize immediately gave him a blank glance, and walked the room quickly without looking back in the pleasant laughter of Adrian.

In the next few days, Adrian didn’t do anything, so he took Emma to play everywhere. The little guy was very happy about his coming again, and the dance of the special stage dance and sing and dance in front of him, it was cute. In addition, Adrian also deliberately went to Edinburgh to discuss the issue of publication with Rowling, who is finishing the second part of the Harry Potter series. Although the sales of "Magic Stone" in the United Kingdom are not particularly good, they are in the United States. But it is quite good. It is also the last place in the best-selling list of the New York Times. Rowling has completely got rid of the embarrassment of life and entered the ranks of the middle class.

"No need, Joe, this is all you deserve, isn't it?" In the face of repeated thanks from Rowling, Adrian said so, after thinking carefully, he decided to wait for the second "Secret Chamber" to be published It seems too early to talk to Rowling about film adaptation.

On the fifth day after the home visit, Kubrick’s eldest daughter Anya again invited Adrian and Clarkson to the small manor. The old man who could not speak or move in bed pondered for so long, and finally agreed. Too.

"In principle, my father allows Mr. Adrian to take over, and also allows Mr. Adrian to make adjustments according to his own requirements. However, after the film is produced, it must be reviewed by his father. If the father is not satisfied, then the movie cannot be obtained from any source. OK." In the bedroom I visited last time, Anya said the conditions in front of his father and sister leaning on the bed.

"I think it's okay, right, Pine?" Adrian looked at Clarkson, because he was asking him to ask, so Warner gave him all the responsibility.

"Should be... no problem." Clarkson said with a helpless sigh.

"I suddenly felt that I had made a big mistake, and you were so sure that I was satisfied with Stanley? He is a picky guy, and I have dealt with him more than once, and sometimes he is not satisfied with his stuff. And what's more... this time there is no other leader to let others take over his stuff." Clarkson said with a wry smile when he came out of the manor again.

If Adrian takes over and Kubrick is not satisfied, if the movie box office is not good, you can also use video tapes to recover part of the cost, but if it does not work at all, it will be a complete loss.

"One hundred percent satisfaction is definitely impossible, but I believe that he will not cross the bottom line in his heart." Adrian said swearingly, and then looked at Clarkson's frowning face and smiled: "Okay, Payne, a lot of movies There is no difference between time and gambling. Until the last minute, you don’t know what the ending will be. You all admit that Kubrick’s letting someone take over this time is unprecedented, so why don’t you believe that I can create a miracle?"

"Indeed, you are a miracle director, so hopefully there will be a miracle in the end." Clarkson sighed again and smiled in consolation.

Although it will take some time to sign the contract, after all, just saying "if the father is not satisfied, then the movie can not be done from any channel" is not legally effective, and it is also easy to be exploited, but Those things are lawyers. After receiving the promise, Adrian immediately returned to Los Angeles to start some preliminary work.

For example, after Kubrick moved to the UK, the film was basically shot in the UK, and soon went to other places. Although the script of "Eyes Wide Shut" wrote a story born in New York, he still insisted on being in the UK. Before shooting, he had already contacted the studio and planned to build a New York street setting here. Such a cost can be quite a lot. It can be said that most of the entire movie was spent on this.

However, now that Adrian has taken over, the plan to set up in the UK is still on paper, so it is better to pull to New York for field shooting.

In addition, I have to meet with the crew. Many people have cooperated with Kubrick several times. Although Adrian will bring a few people they are familiar with, most of them still have to be reserved, after all. They are relatively familiar with Kubrick's style, so it is also necessary to establish a relationship in advance, but the most important thing is to communicate with the protagonist.

"Paine, I remember that I had agreed to appear because of Stanley's invitation, but why is it now Ed?" In a private club's box, Tom Cruise looked at Payne Clarkson and asked. There was a hint of questioning in his tone, but then he looked at Adrian with a signature smile: "Sorry, Ed, I don't want to offend you, I just want to understand why things are like this."

"I understand." Adrian smiled and didn't say much. His eyes were completely focused on Cruise, as if Nicole Deman beside him didn't exist.

"You know, Tommy, Stanley has a stroke, it's very serious, he can't even speak, let alone direct the movie, but he sold the adaptation rights of the novel more than ten years ago, absolutely unwilling This is halfway. Now Adrian has indicated that it can take over in time, and impressed him with his ability and sincerity, why can't he continue?" Clarkson said sincerely with his hands spread out.

"Oh, of course, Ed is a famous miracle director." Cruise smiled, a slight disapproval flashed in his eyes, and then he asked immediately and doubtfully: "But, as far as I know, Estein Lee’s character never allows anyone to intervene in his own movie. How did you persuade him, Pine?”

As he said, Cruise looked at his agent, and Kingsley immediately took the topic: "Yes, Mr. Clarkson, everyone knows that Stanley Dink Brick is shooting "The Shining" and "Spacewalking 1" had trouble with the original authors Arthur Clark and Stephen King, and the reason was that they did not agree with their view of the script. Arthur chose to give in and Stephen criticized the movie version of "The Shining" more than once. "

Then she flicked her hands together, and the meaning was obvious. Why could you convince this stubborn old man? Or did you Warner want to kick Kubrick unilaterally because of a stroke?

"It starts with two points. The external cause is naturally Stanley’s preparation for this movie for many years. I don’t want to give up now, but the internal cause..." Clarkson said while looking at Adrian, he was also puzzled. . As a Warner executive, he certainly knows that Adrian is working on a movie with Cruise, and the relationship between the two should be fair. Why is Cruise the expression?

Cruise thought he was doing a covert job, but several of the people present saw it clearly.

Despite the constant thoughts in his heart, Clarkson’s mouth did not stop: "As I said, Ed moved Stanley with his sincerity and ability. Before today, we have been to The British and Stanley have exchanged face-to-face, and the idea displayed by Ed has been recognized by him. After all, even if someone wants to take over without his consent, it is impossible to ask his family about this, to ensure that you will get the idea. The answer you want."

Kinsley immediately whispered to Cruise and asked Nicole a few words from time to time. Nicole didn’t seem to have any ideas. Every time he just said a few sentences and stopped. But as long as Cruise will **** the conversation soon after she speaks a little longer, some things can be guessed.

"Tommy, can you tell me why are you hesitating?" Seeing that they had no results after a long discussion, Adrian finally asked aloud.

"Well...the key is that I wanted to work with Stanley, and Nicole and I agreed." Cruise gestured hard, and then he continued to explain what he said: "I It’s not that I don’t want to collaborate with you, Ed, I just think that if we want to collaborate, why not pick a new movie?”

"I understand your mood, Tommy, sometimes making movies is like gambling. The script looks good and very good, but it may be a mess, especially when taking over the work of a director with a unique style," Adrian He chuckled and said there was a careless feeling in his expression, "But when did I miss it, Tommy? Even Stanley admitted that I was qualified to take over his work, why can't I try it?"

Adrian put his hands on the table with his hands crossed to support his chin, so he looked at Cruz all the time, with a little provocation hidden in his eyes. Unlike Cruise's self-concealed self-concealment, no one can see it except face to face. In this respect, Cruise is not an opponent of Adrian.

"I believe you can shine in "Jerry Maguire", why can't you believe that I can be in charge of "Eyes Wide Shut"?" He continued to ask in a casual tone.

Cruise pressed his lips together and smiled away. He took a deep breath after glancing at Adrian, and then looked at his wife after a long frown.

"What do you think, Nicole?" He also brought a signature smile. Although it is very sunny and charming, but if you look at it more, you will feel a little fake.

"Maybe..." Nicole looked at Adrian uncertainly, and the latter lowered his head to sipping the coffee in the cup, as if she and Cruise hadn't been minded at all.

Nico's hand under the table squeezed into a fist.

"Maybe try it." She whispered to her husband.

Cruise who heard the answer raised his eyebrows, and after a moment of pondering, he pointed his smile at Adrian again: "Well, I have no opinion."

"I'm very happy to work with you fully, Tommy." A meaningful look crossed the eyes of Adrian, then stood up and smiled and reached out to Cruz.

Since it has been negotiated, Adrian does not need to stay any longer, and soon shakes hands with the Cruises and their agent, Kingsley.

"I remember you seem to be working with Tommy, aren't you, Ed?" Clarkson couldn't help asking after the club was out.

"What do you want to ask, Payne?" Adrian said casually.

"Don't you think Tommy seems so hostile to you?" Clarkson simply pointed out the topic.

"Yes, I know, but if you want to ask me why, I don't know." Adrian shrugged.

He didn't lie. Cruise hasn't done this once or twice, but he really doesn't know why, God knows what's in Cruz's head. However, in combination with some of Cruz's words and deeds after several contacts, Adrian is probably guessing a little in comparison with some things in memory. I'm not sure but there should be some relationship. The person, is really... sad.

However, in this way, Adrian is also able to do some things to be more at ease. When thinking about the situation when leaving, the corner of the mouth can't help but rise slightly. When he said goodbye, he and Nicole pulled out their hands with nostalgia after taking a light grip, as if facing a stranger, and left without looking back.

Basically communicated with the crew and got the two main actors. Adrian went to New York again at the end of April. There were not many real scenes in New York. Most of the scenes were still arranged in the Los Angeles studio, Warner. Naturally, they agree with both hands. If Kubrick wants to set up all the scenes in the UK, the cost will definitely be one-half more expensive.

Kubrick’s films will certainly not make money, even if it’s Marvel Director. Since Adrian has been approved by Kubrick, he certainly will not add commercial ingredients to it. Although Kubrick can’t help but start shooting, don’t forget that if he feels dissatisfied, the movie will not work, and Adrian I won't joke about my reputation, so I can save it or save it.

"Okay, I admit that this is a good place, you stand up, Kiki." Adrian said to the girl who smiled and smiled, and took a few blocks.

"How about it? I said it would be useful to bring it to me." Kirsten said, she was wearing a light-colored long-sleeved T-shirt and a dark short dress on the outside, trousers and sneakers. The youthful vitality of the girls is most vividly shown.

"Yes, but can it be so loud." Adrian sighed and looked at the busy people. Fortunately, there were not many people. Charlize also stayed in Los Angeles.

Kirsten will appear here because when he came to the Adrian office as usual, he heard that he was going to New York to visit the scene of the film in the lower part of the scene, and the girl who came to mind immediately came together with coquetry.

"I lived in New York for a while, and I am familiar with the neighborhoods there, especially Brooklyn. I can find any atmosphere you want." Kirsten was riding on the thighs of Adrian. Around his neck, he had just recovered from the "guidance" of his fingers. The flushing of his face had not faded, and the soft voice sounded like red wine before bed, quite comfortable.

She did live in New York, otherwise she would not have participated in the audition for "This Killer Is Not Too Cold", plus the request in this case, Adrian immediately agreed. But he was not dizzy, so Kirsten arrived in New York with his mother Inez.

She told most of the truth to her mother, with only a few changes. She said that she excused Adrian on the pretext that she would travel to New York with her mother, so her mother had to help her panic. Inez naturally agreed to her daughter's request. She also knew that her daughter's achievements today were not related to Adrian, so she had to maintain a good relationship with Director Miracle as much as possible, but she did not know that her daughter went further.

"Okay, now that I’ve chosen, then I should send you back." Adrian said, and after explaining to the person in charge, he took the girl into the car parked on the street.

"Since it's so early in the sky, we might as well go shopping elsewhere. I have been looking for the block you want these days, and it's time to rest." Kirsten from the co-pilot's seat said with a smile .

"That's not okay, I promised your mother to send you back as soon as possible." Adrian shook his head, leaned over to secure her to her body, and then bounced her round face: "Safety first, I rarely drive on the streets of New York."

"Oh, Ed, don't you like this?" Kirsten took the opportunity to grab his arm and put it all over, and said in a begging tone.

Feeling the touch from the elbow, which has just been bred, Adrian sighed: "So, I drove two-thirds of the way, and then walked back one-third of the way."

"Okay." Kirsten's eyes showed an undisguised disappointment. She knew that the things decided by Adrian would basically not change.

Seeing her look like this, Adrian chuckled and moved the car. Kirsten was thinking about how he might not know, but well, some things should still be appeased. Anyway, it is still in the shelf life. Um, isn't it?

As he said, first drove a few streets, then stopped at two streets away from Kirsten and Ma’s apartment-Inez had a small apartment in New York that was quite good ~IndoMTL.com~ So I didn't stay at the hotel-followed the two and walked back in a walk.

Although Kirsten is not very interested, he keeps laughing out loud in Adrian’s humorous words. No one is better at coaxing women, no matter what kind of woman.

"Okay, stop here, Kiki," Adrian touched her head after sending Kirsten to the apartment, "Don’t be so anxious, you know, I like yours very much. ."

"Yes, I know." Kirsten sighed, then rolled his eyes and looked at Adrian hesitantly: "Something I don't know, can I tell you..."

"Oh?" Adrian immediately bent down, and the girl suddenly wrapped around his neck, and just kissed him firmly on his face under the eyes of everyone.

"Qiqi" Adrian called out in annoyance and quickly glanced around. It seemed that few people noticed, and there was no one behind the apartment window.

"I just want to commemorate." Kirsten grinned as he grinned and quickly opened the door and slipped into the house.
