King of Hollywood Chapter 13: Long-term plan

This part of the "Vietnam Battlefield" scene is relatively easy. At least Lieutenant Dan’s legs do not need special treatment, so you don’t have to worry about wearing them when shooting. But what worries Adrian a little is that the military adviser he invited doesn't look like a professional.

A pair of goldfish eyes is bulging, as if never blinking, the brain is slightly bald, and the stomach is always looking like a ng-free. If it were not for the assistant to repeatedly ensure that this guy named Wad Bernson had indeed participated in the Vietnam battlefield as a lieutenant, and had also worked as a consultant for Born July 4th, he must have thought that this guy was a liar.

There are still things in Bernson’s stomach. At least several other assistants admit that he is quite good in this regard, and there is basically nothing wrong with the tactical arrangement. So even if this guy is deprived of the right to drink on the studio, he often nags such as "When I am desperate for this country on the battlefield of Vietnam, most of the people here are still m head gangs", Adrian I didn't care.

The shooting was smooth and there were many interesting points. Hanks ridiculed Adrian with the line "reinte1e". This is a term commonly used by the US military to circumvent the blasting carried out by its own side. When this sentence was called, Lieutenant Dan was causing people to throw grenade into dngxue, which was completely literal.

The hardest thing to film was the scene where Forrest Gump ran to save people. The previous ones were okay, but the lens when holding Babu was not so easy. In this scene, A-Gump wants to hold Babu and run out before the incendiary bombs fall, so it is impossible to perform the montage technique of "pull up" and then switch to "drop down" as before, Hanks must hold Almost a pound of Williamson ran at least a hundred feet, which is not an easy task.

Consider again and again, Adrian first let the stuntman try to run once, then hang a steel wire on Williamson to support his weight, let Hanks run again, and finally shot the explosion scene again. As for the next jet planes and incendiary bombs, they need to be added with cg later, just like the large helicopters when A-Gump arrived at the camp.

"This is the document you need to sign today." During the break, Charlize sent some information to Adrian. She seemed more aloof than before, but Adrian, who knew her situation well, did not care. .

"Already negotiated? Why don't I know?" He asked with some surprise looking at the file in his hand.

"Crowd called the day before yesterday, when you were busy with the raining scene, so I don't want to disturb you, of course I will not go against your will." Charlize said lightly .

"Oh, yes, the effects of those shots haven't been very good, so I'm a little impatient." Adrian recalled and said suddenly, and then patted Charlize's shoulder: "Sorry, Charlie. "

"Sorry?" Charlize looked at him with an eyebrow raised.

"My tone was not very good at that time." Adrian said with a smile, and signed his name on the file.

"Get used to it." Charlize shrugged, took the document back and turned away, "Claude will come over in minutes."

"Claude? What is he doing here?" Adrian asked strangely, and he was given the answer by Claude himself: "Of course it is coming... how to say it? Is the class right? I have never seen After your work, let’s say it’s on my father’s golf course. I should come over because of reason, right?”

And the first sentence when he came here was: "God, if Dad knew that you ruined his golf course like this, he would kill you. WWw.YZUU point m"

"Unfortunately, Crow, he will kill you before then." This is Adrian's answer.

"How does it feel, is it not the same as the director's work in mind?" Adrian took Crow around the whole crew, and asked after answering some questions in detail.

"Yes," Claude nodded. "I always thought that the director would either sit on a chair and yell at the beginning and end, or just put 1ng with the propsist on something to do special effects, or resist. Camera to shoot."

Speaking of this, he stopped to think about it and looked at Adrian: "It seems that what I said is not different from what I just saw."

"Come on, Crow, don’t sell 1ng in front of me," Adrian gave him a punch with a smile. "Every director has his own strengths. James Cameron is a technology-loving director. . But as a director, the main job is not to do special effects, not to resist the camera, but to dispatch."

"Schedule?"

"Yes, a director, even if he does not know how to play the lights, how to make up the makeup, and how to do the special effects, can make a big movie. All he needs to do is tell the heads of the various departments, himself What kind of result do you want, and supervise the results made by each department to meet your own requirements. The key is that the director must have a complete picture in mind and be able to grasp the progress of the entire movie." Adrian explained Road.

"Sounds," Claudemore held his chin, "It seems to be no different from my job."

"Most things in the world are essentially the same," Adrian smiled and patted him on the shoulder. "Okay, let’s talk about what is happening now. I originally thought it would cost 200 million. It only cost 120 million."

"You must know that Disney initially gave Miramax a price of only 10 million, and we only increased it to 10 million after we joined. However, Michael Eisner obviously does not think that their value is higher than this. So we let go after we reached 100 million." Claude explained briefly, "Of course, there is no white flower in this 120 million. Although Miramax retains the right to operate independently, we are all Capital acquisition and gave them an 18% dividend"

"Then you have seen the Weinstein brothers? How are you feeling?" Adrian asked immediately.

"I have only met a few times and I’m not sure yet, but from the information collected from other sources, these two guys are similar to what you said. But they are also very ng-style and have the same aggressiveness as ours. I can’t tell at all that I’m in my fifties, and they have a deep affection for the trademark Miramax.” Claude recalled.

"Of course, this is a company named after their parents," Adrian shrugged. "Sooner or later, they will be acquired by us. It is much more pleasant to be acquired by Disney than all ages."

"Oh, Ed, are you interested in meeting them?" Claude said suddenly.

"See you?" Adrian raised an eyebrow.

"Of course, you are the chairman." Claude chuckled and didn't know what idea he was playing.

"Okay, no problem." Adrian agreed, and then added a sentence: "If there is time."

There is definitely time. The golf course where the crew of "Forrest Gump" is located is not far from Crowder's private club, so Adrian saw the Weinstein brothers here the next day.

Of the two brothers, Bob Weinstein looks familiar, and Harvey Weinstein is very talkative.

"If you knew that you would have the achievement now, Ed, I will definitely go and take the exercise in person." Harvey said with a smile when he talked about things a few years ago.

When Adrian took "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels" to the Venice Film Festival, the first one to find men was Miramax-it can be seen that their vision is still very good. At this moment, it sounds like a doomed feeling, and suddenly draws up the relationship between several people, except Adrian. If it weren't for his birth, Miramax would surely become the focus of the early decade under the Weinstein Brothers c.

Okay, don’t worry about that much, they have become a thing in his pocket.

"Like I said to Crow before, we are more suitable for you than Disney. Think about it, Disney’s signature has always been suitable for all ages, and Miramax is unfettered, and Eisner always likes it. Arbitrary, may not be a short time, but after a long time, there will be contradictions that cannot be bridged," Adrian said.

This is not alarmist, but something happened in his memory. Of course, the problem is not all with Disney. The parent company wants its subsidiary to develop in its own planned direction. It is just a matter of control.

But now that Miramax has been acquired by the media, it should be impossible to think of this situation again. At first, as he said, they are more in line with each other than Dinis; Know, will definitely avoid appearing. More importantly, under the planning of Adrian, the media and Disney are different.

After these remarks, the Weinstein brothers clearly realized this, and both of them showed deep thoughts, and then became more enthusiastic.

"Well done, Ed, I knew it was the right thing to let you come over." Claude said in praise after the Weinstein brothers left.

"I only said the truth," Adrian smiled and moved his finger. "And, the Weinstein brothers will not become loyal to us because of this remarks, and we will not give up letting Mira. Max operates according to our plan."

"That's right." Claude lifted the coffee cup and then shifted the topic: "If you want DreamWorks to act as a shield in front, why invest another 100 million? If you want to divide profits, One hundred million is a little less? I heard Spielberg they are looking for ways to raise money-or do you just want to support him?"

"Of course not, I do this after years." Adrian smiled slightly.

"After the year?" Claude suddenly showed a surprised **** se, "You plan really far enough, Ed."

"It's okay to support Spielberg, but more is for Kasenberg." Adrian added a sentence.

"Jeffrey Kasenberg?" Claude couldn't understand more. "Don't he just flip face with Disney?"

Adrian laughed and did not answer. The establishment of DreamWorks was a lot earlier than he remembered. This is certainly related to his persuasion, but it has caused a series of changes. For example, Spielberg still found David Geffen and Jeffrey Kasenberg, hoping that they could join and support him. Geffen agreed to Kasenberg but refused. He is now at Disney. The senior executives are doing well, there is no need to follow Spielberg to start from scratch.

As far as DreamWorks itself is concerned, it doesn’t matter if there is no Kasenberg, and Spielberg may be able to find something even better. But for Adrian, this is an annoying thing. The reason why he prompted Spielberg to establish a dream factory in advance, in addition to finding a shield for his company, there is another goal, and if this goal is missing a card It is difficult to say whether Sunberg can achieve it.

But the butterfly effect was caused by him, and he couldn’t remember why Kasenberg agreed to accept Spielberg’s invitation. In this way, in the face of this situation, nothing can be done so Adrian had to comfort himself, not everything will follow his own mind.

However, a few weeks later, the peak circle turned around, and Michael Eisner’s deputy Frank Wilson died unexpectedly because of a helicopter accident. Kasenberg was full of joy and thought that he had been able to take over for so long. But appointing another person and excluding him, the angry Kasenberg immediately broke his face with Denis.

"Mike left Paramount this way, but he didn't expect him to use it on others today." After seeing the news, Rafen, who had worked with Eisner, did so. Said.

In fact, this is very normal. Everyone will have some changes after they have the power. Adrian asks Laffern whether he will do so if necessary in that position. Laffern thinks for a long time and gives If it is affirmative, he is honest. Power is the best *y, this saying is not groundless. For example, the behavior of Adrian is the best interpretation of the literal meaning of this sentence.

In short, while claiming the benefits he deserves from Disney, Kasenberg invested in Spielberg who seized the opportunity to hand over the olive branch, so the three giants of Dream Engineering finally gathered, and Adrian was relieved. .

These will not tell Claude Ming that after drinking his coffee, Adrian will get up and say goodbye.

"I still have work to do," he said, "I have something to call me or Charlie."

"Got it." Claude asked him to leave the club without asking.

"Tell Richard that I am on my way back, so he is ready." After the car drove onto the highway, Adrian so ordered the nv secretary nv assistant around him.

Charlize quickly completed his request: "They have already begun to adjust."

Although Adrian came here for an appointment, the shooting there never stopped. As in Alabama, the assistant director took some simple shots.

"Thank you." Adrian nodded, thinking of what turned sideways, and looked at Charlize with one hand on his cheek: "Hey, Charlie, it's weekend now, maybe we can go out and stroll?"

"Hang out?" Charlize glanced.

"Yes, I suddenly realized that we have not spent a holiday together." Adrian said with a gesture.

"We have enough holidays together, and please allow me to remind you, Ed," Charlize glanced at Glover driving in front of him. "We said yes, only I can go to bed with you, and Can't you go to bed with me."

Although the relationship between Adrian and Charlize is very clear, Glover still couldn't help but coughed out. Looking from the front mirror, his face was a little weird, and he seemed to endure something. The Adrian, which is also clear about this point, was embarrassed by Charlize's carelessness, and touched his nose to not know what to say.

"There is still," Charlize said again. "Take care of your troubles first."

Then she turned her head and looked out the window, ignoring Adrian. Adrian shrugged and put it down for a while, and Charlize was right, it was the right thing to deal with the current trouble first.

In fact, this is not too much trouble, because after Jo Blanchett went to the sea to get it in hand, for more than a week, the two were entangled together, and naturally they must not neglect the others. This is a normal thing. Who makes him currently maintain relationships with four or five nv people. Once his life link is broken due to an accident, there will definitely be a problem that is difficult to separate.

But Adrian doesn't have any bad feelings. Instead, he enjoys this. Isn't it what he wants to walk between nv people? Moreover, under his training, Monica has basically belonged to him, even if you know it, you will not care; Cate is currently in contradiction, and you will not notice this; Sarah is shooting in the studio. "Buffy the Vampire", he also shot "Forrest Gump" in the studio before, cu time passed to see no problem at all, and n* Sarah tried the storage room and gave her mouth. So the only problem is with Julia.

"I made ten calls for you, and Ed has ten full calls. It’s your nv assistant who answers the call every time. Can’t you answer the call once? Well, you have something, you have a job It's not convenient for you to answer the phone~IndoMTL.com~ But why didn't you call me back? Even if you get a call back, did you take me seriously, Ed" Julia roared angrily on the phone.

Despite this, Adrian heard the uneasiness hidden in the anger.

"I just want to say sorry, my dear, I'm sorry." He said in a sincere tone, suppressing the smile in his heart.

"Don’t you think it’s too late to say sorry now, Ed"

"Yes, it's a little late, but it's not too late. So, tomorrow is the weekend. We will go to Orange County to relax, and your mood will be better."

"I will not agree to rest."

"That’s the way to go, I’ll pick you up tomorrow."

"Hey, Ed, I haven’t agreed yet"

"See you tomorrow, I love you."
