King of Hollywood Chapter 174: A salary increase
The party in the bar didn’t last long. Sean Waters wanted to talk to Adrian about a Fox company movie. They wanted to be directed by Adrian. Since Adrian revealed that it will not completely reject the scripts of other companies, the invitations that had been reduced have slowly increased, after all, his achievements are there. Still the same sentence, it is valuable and can bring benefits to them, they don’t mind holding you up to the sky.
Fox sent the general manager Sean who had a good relationship with Cameron this time, apparently intending to convince Adrian. It's just that when Adrian invited him to have a drink, he not only called Cameron but also added an Arnold Schwarzenegger, but also talked about "True Lies" so that Sean could not intervene. The place.
He knows this is Adrian's obscure expression of no interest, but at least give him a chance to speak? Fortunately, Adrian is not an empty-eyed person. After Sean reminded him two or three times, he finally gave him a chance to talk in private.
"I think this is a good script, Sean, I think my vision is still persuasive. But, unfortunately, I still have to quit. The three movies last year made me exhaust all my thoughts, I I want to take a rest for a while. And, I don’t hide from you. I already have a movie in mind.” Adrian said this, seeing Sean’s disappointment, he then added a sentence as comfort: “If you believe In my words, Philip Noyce is very suitable for directing this movie."
Fox hopes that the script he directed is an adaptation of Tom Clancy’s novel "Browsing Chase". In Adrian's memory, this is an action movie starring Harrison Ford, but it seems to be produced by Paramount Yes, how can it fall into Fox's hands now? To be honest, if it is not that he has a movie already on the schedule, he will start preparations after the Oscar, and if he does not plan to make more movies this year, he really wants to give it a try, but now he can only refuse.
Despite being disappointed, Sean didn’t say much, but left the bar quickly. After the remaining three had a few more drinks, Schwarzenegger immediately resigned because of his wife's reason, and Cameron could not help teasing him a few words, thinking he was following his wife too. Schwarzenegger just smiled and didn't explain, but Adrian knew that he had already had the willingness to ask the governor's throne when he was married, otherwise why would he find a woman in the Kennedy family as his wife?
After Schwarzenegger left, Adrian and Cameron had a few more drinks and talked about the movie, especially the use of new technologies, and the two left the bar together.
"Wait and see, Ed, I will definitely make this movie better than "Terminator", hot and attractive." After coming out of the bar, Cameron took it on the street at the beginning of the Huadeng The wine said so vowedly.
"I fully believe this, James," Adrian is also breathing with alcohol, pulling his neckline in the night breeze. "I chose you because I believe you can create miracles."
"No, no, Ed, you are wrong, you are the one who can create miracles." Cameron shook his head like a rattle. "Listen, what do they call you? "Isn't Miracle Director?"
He opened his arms while talking, grinning as a big man's action, Adrian looked at him with a smile-like expression and suddenly opened his mouth: "James, after this movie was made, there was Not interested in creating a second real miracle?"
"Creating a miracle? What miracle was created?" Cameron asked puzzled.
"I can't say it, the flash of light flashes, but my instinct tells me that if I succeed, it will shock the world." Adrian is still a smiley expression, "Will you try it, James?"
Cameron looked at him for a long time with an eyebrow raised, rubbed his nose and punched him on the shoulder with a punch: "That's the way to go."
What can be called a miracle will naturally only be that movie. If Adrian makes the director himself, needless to say, it will add a lot to his achievements. It's just that it's too time-consuming. How long did Cameron come? Filming alone takes more than a year, not to mention so much preparation work, and even deliberately went to the seabed to observe the wreckage at close range. Adrian does not spend so much time on it.
In his plan, there are still hundreds of millions of box-office productions to choose from. Handing this movie to the truck driver will not have much impact, and it will also let him die for himself. Why not work part-time?
After finishing the investigation of "True Lies", Adrian spent another few days dealing with other things, the most important thing was the production of "Friends". After nearly two months of auditioning, casting, and integration, the first episode has now been completed, and the director of the Los Angeles branch is being contacted. As long as they have no brain water, they will definitely buy this TV series.
When I first tried the first episode, there was a lot of laughter in the screening room, even though Adrian, I saw Rose whispering "I just want to get married", and then Rachel in a wedding dress from outside the cafe After rushing in, after everyone was dumbfounded, Qian De immediately shouted, "I only need one million now", and couldn't help laughing.
Of course, the six old friends who starred are of course the "original class". In addition to the earliest set Jennifer Aniston playing Rachel, Matthew Perry was the first to sign the contract because he is a classmate of Jennifer. , Jennifer thought that this role was very suitable for him, so he recommended him to audition.
Then Lisa Kudrow and Courteney Cox, both of whom are already well-known actors, did not take much effort to find them. Followed by Matt LeBron, he is still quite famous in advertising models. The works he participated in were all small productions. Those in the TV department spent a lot of time to find him.
The most troublesome is David Humon, who is still busy with his "mirror" drama company in Chicago. Although this company has come to an end, there is also a film and television company that wants to sign with him. The comedy is long-term, and he himself is not interested in sitcoms. The contacting assistant tried his best to move his agent before moving him.
To be honest, if it weren’t that David Humon was "who" was the role of Ross Geller, Adrian would be replaced after receiving the first report about him, and there were more Hollywood actors. Not bad for him. But in the end, I decided to give the opportunity again, so that the quality of the episode can be guaranteed to the greatest extent, and it is easier to control the trend of the episode. Moreover, it is also very interesting to collect the TV series in the memory of the original cast in this way, isn't it?
"Reply to Garnett, they did a good job, I no longer ask about the record company, but every month... Weekly reports regularly," Adrian said while sitting behind his desk writing and writing , "Also tell Parker that the new script is 79 scenes and 112 scenes low. I am very dissatisfied. I need him to readjust the plot. I have written the specific content on it."
He said he handed the script to Charlize behind the desk.
"Got it, is there anything else?" Charlize nodded and wrote down.
Adrian thought for a few seconds before saying again: "Notify the publishing company, after the novel is released, the sales volume must be notified to me as soon as possible. In addition, is the matter of renting a private jet done?"
"Tomorrow can take off." The girl shrugged, sorted out the things in her hand, and suddenly sighed.
"What's wrong?" Adrian asked curiously.
"I think you should raise my salary." Charlize looked at him very seriously.
"You started to raise your salary after less than a month of work?" Adrian raised an eyebrow with a grinning smile.
"When I was applying, I didn't know if you had many companies to take care of," Charlize said bluntly. "It was originally a secretary and assistant. Now there is so much work to do, which is obviously unreasonable. "
"I have to remind you, Charlie, these are all written in the contract, you have seen and signed." Adrian looked at her with a long time, Charlize couldn't help but glared at him, speechless. Come.
"Okay, okay," Adrian is no joke, "Anyway, you will be 18 years old next month, and the details of the contract will be adjusted and supplemented accordingly. If you really want to raise your salary, we How about talking about it at that time?"
Charlie snorted softly and got up and walked out. If she was in the company most of the time every day, she was usually dressed as an OL, so the back looks like a special rhyme at this time, Adrian almost blows Whistle.
In terms of working ability, Charlize is still quite good. Although she is still a novice and made some mistakes at the beginning, she is very smart and learns things quickly, plus her unyielding personality, only It took just a few weeks to take care of everything in order, no wonder you can achieve that kind of achievement in your memory, and a salary increase can also be considered~IndoMTL.com~ Speaking of it, most of the women around me have this kind of unsuccessful defeat The character. "Adrian, whose fingers were banging on the table, suddenly murmured like this, Cate, Sarah, Charlize, this is all the case. Thinking of him suddenly moved here, if the memory is correct, they have a very good Interesting common ground, maybe, can you try it on Charlize?
Shrugging, Adrian turned his attention to work. The matter in Los Angeles has basically come to an end. Although the new script still has several problems, it can be solved in a few moments; while the publishing company, The novel version of "The Matrix" is finally about to be released, and it's no big deal.
The most important thing is that the record company, the men’s group that has worked hard to do is working quite well. With the two songs from Adrian, the popularity has soared, not only the sales of 500,000 copies in the first week, but also It occupies a high position in the major music charts. If it was not that the two songs were written in the form of cooperation, the music director of the record company would probably come in and ask the boss for the song.
In general, several of its companies have developed well, and Adrian’s main energy is focused on the film, except for the necessary circumstances. So, after asking questions, he started the last time before the Oscar award ceremony, and the most important one. ()
