King of Hollywood Chapter 141: It’s finally coming to the show

Chapter 141 is finally about to be released

A few days later, Adrian returned to Los Angeles again. Although Kubrick never heard the exact news, it should basically be the default. The next thing is to start preparing for a long time of publicity.

Warner’s actions were very fast. By the end of January, "Eyes Wide Shut" had passed the review of paa. Unsurprisingly, it was rated as r. To be honest, based on the big party in the middle, if you switch to Bosworth or Miramax and the new line to send a rating, you must be rated as -17, maybe it may be a level, In that case, it can only be shown in a few designated theaters, whether it is word of mouth or box office.

But who will let Warner, one of the seven major film companies, have a place in the paa? Despite a lot of effort, ua was finally set at r level. This is why Adrian always insists on finding ways to obtain overseas exercise rights. Only with overseas exercise rights is it eligible to enter paa to fight for their own interests. This is not an easy task. DreamWorks has not been able to enter for years. However, he now has a better plan, as long as funds are available this year should not be a problem.

Soon, the preview trailer of "Eyes Wide Shut" began to broadcast, and various publicity advertisements began to appear in 6 major media. Suddenly, after the Christmas-New Year period, the entertainment circle that gradually began to restore calm was invested. A blockbuster.

As early as when the miracle director might take over the legendary director’s new work, the media were very interested, trying to find some valuable news from it. When Adrian was filming the location in New York, There are also many reporters who attempt to enter the studio in vain, and have taken a few blurry photos from afar. However, because Adrian was strictly guarded from the outset, and severely warned everyone that if someone told the outside world that they would not only be dismissed but also be prosecuted, the specific filming situation of the movie was never known and could only be based on the original novel To guess.

As a result, in the absence of new news, the media’s attention has dropped a lot, but this does not mean that they really gave up the exploration of "Eyes Wide Shut" and officially started promoting it from Warner From now on, all kinds of comments popped up after the rain and you can know one or two. In particular, after the news that "Kubrick asked, if the movie directed by Adrian does not meet his requirements, then this movie should not be used in any channel", the media were more excited after the intentional dismissal. What does this mean? it goes without saying.

"If the rumors are true, it means that "Eyes Wide Shut" directed by Adrian is the same as directed by Kubrick. After all, everyone knows how harsh Kubrick treats his work. "Seattle" One of the reporters wrote in the article.

"From Kubrick's consistent style, it is indeed possible, but I don't think Adrian can have the level of a strange director like Kubrick, although he also has a good work." Others So said.

Even a well-known film critic named Martha Lynne Maggie pointedly wrote: "It is more likely that Warner and Adrian want to use this method to create instant facts, In order to make Kubrick succumb, after all, publicity and behavior are two different things. Even if there is a contract signed, it is not very difficult to find out from it, neither Warner nor Adrian can give up this opportunity to earn word of mouth."

Part of Kubrick’s die-hard movie mí even said that he would never go to watch after the movie was released: "He couldn’t make a Kubrick-style movie at all"

Even Tom Cruise's opinion about the directing of "Eyes Wide Shut" by Adrian in a talk show that hit the Oscar for "Jerry Maguire".

"It is undeniable that he is an outstanding director, and he is quite discerning. In fact, my role in "Jerry Maguire" was recommended by him. I can’t judge the two directors. After all, I only I have met with Stanley a few times. Of course, I really like the movies he directed. But I have done my best to play this role. I also think that I have done a very good job. Cruise answered.

A good answer, not only evaded the main question, but also won both directors, and by the way, promoted himself. It can be seen that his agent, Pat Kingsley, communicated well with the TV station. The reason for this is that Cruise did not look good at the audition held inside Warner.

This is naturally because of the three fantasy, Cruise did not see who the naval officer is, Adrian only edited a little in it, and the three paragraphs add up to more than ten seconds, and the navy uniform is not. Take off, not to mention the real swords and guns in the actual shooting. In addition, the angle of selection is also in place, and there is no face of the naval officer, and it is slightly processed in post-production, unless it is very familiar with his body like Charlize, and he can say the following size in one bit and jīng Only those who reach the three digits after the decimal point can see who they are from the back and the figure.

However, Nicole is different, whether it is lying down in the hot ěn to fade his inner or crawling up to let the other party ’n own spine, they are extremely invested, as if they are not acting, even if there are only ten in total More seconds. If the previous wide-dress solution was at home and still in front of Cruz, he could accept it, then the thorn in this shot is slightly larger.

Additionally, gossip tabloids have taken Nicole to appear, as well as the hype of "speech party love story" mentioned earlier, and intentionally or unintentionally link the two. In Tom Cruise’s case, when I saw these words, I would see ghosts if I was in a good mood, and it would be impossible to say those words. This is undoubtedly the merit of Kingsley, which shows that there is a superior ability The broker is really important.

In the face of these disturbing disputes, what is Adrian one of the parties doing?

"How about this contract, Mr. Yuan?" Adrian smiled at the old man in front of him.

The other party hesitated. After listening to the translation and talking with his lawyer a, he asked carefully: "I have no opinion, but, Mr. Adrian, you don’t think this contract is a bit Is it too good?"

"It's very simple," I had already expected the reaction of the other party, plus Cantonese speaks slowly, and I can still guess the meaning, so I can't finish the translation, and Adrian laughed, "Mr. Yuan I am a Chinese, and of course I should know the allusion of "Qianjin buy horse bones."

The phrase "Qianjin buy horse bones" is spoken in Chinese, and the words are round, Yuan Heping's eyes suddenly glared: "Do you speak Mandarin?"

I bowed my head and murmured something. It seemed to be complaining. The voice was very small and in Cantonese. Adrian didn't hear it clearly, but it seemed to mention Wu Baige's name.

But it doesn’t matter, so he smiled again: "Basic a stream should be okay-don’t say this first, if Mr. Yuan is willing, I can introduce you a few good brokers, let They take care of your business in Hollywood, and rest assured that they are all very honest people."

After hearing this, the hesitation on Yuan Heping's face became stronger.

"I know you certainly don't understand why, it's simple, I'm optimistic about your prospects, or the prospects of action guidance." Adrian has no concealment, "This is why I will prepare such a contract, and you were originally I was kidding for $880,000, but I didn’t hesitate to agree to the reason."

When referring to the $880,000 salary, Yuan Heping blushed, and seemed a little embarrassed and unhappy. Although calm was restored immediately, I am afraid to complain in my heart, "This guy speaks Mandarin well, but I don’t know what it means to be gentle. Of course, Adrian wouldn’t understand what to do to be tactful, joking, these things are carved in the spirit hún-even if only two-thirds-but it is not necessary now.

"I understand action movies in Hong Kong. Those famous movie stars, such as Jack Cheng, have their own "Martial Master" team-this is the word, right? So action directors like you are very popular in Hong Kong Ordinary.” Adrian continued, “But it’s different here. I believe that after these two films are released, Hollywood will surely set off a wave of oriental kung fu. The “martial arts masters” in Hong Kong belong to the people’s organization. Can be invited, so as you have a representative work in Hollywood, it will inevitably become the object of cooperation between various film companies."

After a word, Yuan Heping, his translators and lawyers are all squinting, so straightforward words do not need to be explained, but the pie falling off this day is really unimaginable.

"What's the benefit for you?" he couldn't help asking.

"It's very simple. If I need to make an oriental Kung Fu action movie in the future, I need you to give priority." Adrian spread his hands.

"Are you not afraid of my apparent promise, but then... will the real lion speak?" Yuan Heping couldn't help asking again.

Adrian suddenly smiled: "Don’t the Chinese want to pay attention to Lutheran? If I can’t get your friendship and commitment in such a frank way, then it’s better for me to look away."

"Admiration" Yuan Heping took a deep breath and unexpectedly made a gesture of arching his fists. "That's the way to go."

Actually, both of them know that if that kind of thing really happened, as long as Adrian maintains its strength in Hollywood, it’s not difficult to drive Yuan Heping out of here. Although Kung Fu movies are not small in North America Market, but it is not mainstream after all. Since the cooperation is beneficial, and Adrian can also be regarded as a "Lieutenant," Yuan Heping naturally knows how to choose.

After discussing these and sending Yuan Heping away, Adrian immediately called Michael Ovitz. Although only a few words were mentioned, he would naturally know what to do when the details were faxed. To be honest, Ovitz does have a set of brokerage companies. After taking office, he has carried out drastic reforms, and the company has been completely renovated in just a few weeks.

In addition to Tom Hanks, many first-line actors have also been drawn to the banner. If it is not halfway, in addition to some problems, Dustin Hoffman may also come over. You must know that the relationship between Ovitz and Hoffman is not bad. The first client he fought for when he was in CAA was Hoffman.

"I can do anything for you, even kill you." He said that when he first met at the time, and immediately won the favor of Hoffman.

Although I failed to win over this time because of an accident, Adrian did not care, and still fully supported him with Claude. Although it can’t be compared with several big broker companies, it is basically among the top ranks of the second line. Too. So even knowing that Ovitz has a lot of extravagance, the two people in charge of the company did not care about it. Naturally, how much ability they can naturally enjoy the benefits.

Of course, there are some things you should pay attention to. Although there is no legal problem with the broker company, it is not a good thing to be caught and make big fuss. Ovitz left Disney and switched to c-broker company last year. It was also quite a noticeable thing. Ordinary people may not know that it’s so greasy. Some tycoon-level characters still smell something. Eisner is naturally more uncomfortable. In order to beat Ovitz from Disney, he has tens of millions.

There are still many things to be dealt with next, such as investment in "Perak Baby" or preparations for the official opening of "The Matrix" in the near future, etc. But before that, he picked up the phone and called.

"Hi, baby, how are you doing lately? Yes, I know, but... well, then the word "dear" is always OK? Oh, nothing, just want to call you By phone, it's almost Valentine's Day soon, I hope you will like my gift when it's time... Of course it's courier, I don't mind delivering it in person but... Ha ha... I do have that plan, but you have to know if I If you take a guitar and sing outside your house, you will probably harvest an o.35-inch bullet. But if you want to be like Christmas for a few days, will you be funny? I will not tell you Yes, you will know by then..."

Let Adrian have such a happy conversation, it is naturally far from Lolita in New York, for various reasons, although the two often meet, but most of the time still contact by phone and letter, oh, there are still more Email, but Natalie seems to like it this way.

"Because distance creates beauty, if you get along too long, you lose mystery, I don't like you, what should I do?" Little Natalie said after lying on his ng after feelings.

Of course there are other reasons besides. Although Natalie doesn’t say, Adrian can guess some. Anyway, she was born into a strict and conservative Jewish family. Although the seeds of rebellion were planted early in the heart because of precocious maturity, plus ambition and Adrian can wait, she had a relationship with him. But it does not mean that Natalie can face herself without shame, no matter how smart she is now, in essence, she is still a little nv.

Plus, she still actively pushed down Adrian. Even now, she won't get much praise in the eyes of others, so it is inevitable that there will be a little but deep-rooted sense of guilt. Although he was very happy and sweet by Adrian, and his intimacy made her indulge in the indescribable joy, but after sobering, it will inevitably be troubled, not to mention...

So it’s so far apart. I usually chat on the phone, discuss various issues on letters and emails, and occasionally get together. Good. How could Adrian refuse? For Tally, who is out of reverse, he has more patience and tolerance. In addition, he also thought of many ways to coax her happy, such as the Christmas time mentioned on the phone. thing.

Although he was visiting New York with Cate and Lily when he was in New York, he came to Long Island on the evening of the second day of Christmas, standing under the tree opposite Natalie’s house and watching The lights in her room called her. The Jews just didn’t celebrate Christmas. It’s a holiday that didn’t fall for a day, so Natalie, who was at home, came to the window as soon as she received the phone call. The two were separated from each other by the street While chatting by phone, Adrian read her short poems.

"You are like a head kid falling in love." Natalie later teased him so much, but she was still very happy. What little nv didn't like this kind of feelings held in the palm of his hand?

But this time, it’s natural to make chocolate by hand. What’s not to be given for fresh ua and chocolate for Valentine’s Day? Anyway, it's anonymous, and it doesn't matter if Natalie's parents send it in the past.

"The information you want, Ed." Charlize walked in with two folders.

"Thank you, Charlie." Adrian took a few glances, which was about "A Time to Kill", "Double yīnmou" and "The Man in Black".

These films are not like the three "Con Air" films, they are completely produced by the film companies under the media~IndoMTL.com~ but they are given to other companies out of the principle of sharing. , So it’s up to Colombia to be responsible; and "The Man in Black" still gave it to Colombia after thinking for a long time, but for some considerations, he also pulled DreamWorks to a foot in it. "A Time to Kill" was originally intended for the world, But in the end it went to Fox.

Although the production rights are all gone, the specific process Adrian is still very concerned. After all, "A Time to Kill" is prepared for Cate, and Monica starred in the supporting role of nv in "The Man in Black", and in the "double "Yīnmou" starred as the nv protagonist.

Seeing that he had nothing to do, Charlize turned and walked away.

"Charlie." Adrian stopped her with a smiley expression.

After confirming that he personally played during the shooting and had a good time with Nicole during the shooting that day, Charlize's tone became more and more official.

"What's wrong?" Charlize asked coldly, as if his expression did not exist.

""Eyes Wide Shut" will be released after Valentine's Day. Will you join me?" Adrian asked with a smile. fa.
