King of Hollywood Chapter 184: “Vanity Fair” Party (2)
"But what?" After being watched by Adrian for about 5 or 6 minutes, Cruise finally couldn't help asking, and frowned frowningly, and there was a trace of displeasure and dissatisfaction in his eyes. Although his movements were small, he couldn't hide the eyes of Adrian who had been watching him.
What a hell, except for the Cannes Film Festival, I don’t seem to have contacted him? Adrian thought somehow. Forget it, don't care about this for the time being, there are two movies that need his cooperation, and...
Quickly glanced at the woman next to Cruise, Adrian continued to smile and said: "I think there is a character that is very suitable for you, Tommy, a contradictory and evil character."
"Is there a character suitable for me?" Kruston came to his spirits, and the previous displeasure was thrown out of Jiuxiaoyun.
It’s not just him. Others also raised their ears. Since Adrian said that, there must be a reason for him. After tonight, the prestige of Adrian has been initially established.
"Yes, although the author of the novel may disagree, I think you are absolutely suitable." Adrian nodded seriously.
"I can... can I know what role this is?" Cruz's hand on the armrest was unconsciously squeezed into a fist, but there was a little excitement in his tone, and he could see some resistance. But I don't want to let this opportunity pass.
"Sorry, we can’t disclose it yet. We are still discussing and preparing, and the director will not be me," Adrian said frankly. "However, as far as some of the actors I have considered, there is no better than you More suitable."
"Thank you." Cruz said perfunctoryly, looking disappointed.
It’s no wonder that the three films that make up most of the Oscar nominations are from Adrian. If Adrian is not directed, then the movie’s appeal will be less than half.
However, Cruz added another sentence: "Maybe we can find an opportunity to talk in detail."
"No problem, we will start to prepare the movie at the latest in mid-May, and then we have enough time." Adrian nodded and said that, and then looked at Kru with interest. Nicole Kidman beside Si.
The reason why Cruise just added it was because Nicole gave him a hint in a hidden way. Others may not have seen it, but they have been paying attention to their Adrian but they can see clearly. And before that, when Adrian said that there was a character suitable for Cruz, Nicole moved her mouth and seemed to want to ask something but quickly pressed it back. Obviously, this woman was smarter than Cruz.
"Is there any problem, Ed?" Nicole asked with a smile, this is her first time tonight, most of the time she is more like an accessory of Cruise, no wonder in the end...
"It's a pity that I recalled several scripts I watched, and they are not very suitable for beautiful women like you, so I will only collaborate again next time." Adrian said with regret.
A little disappointment flashed in Nicole’s eyes, but there was always a smile on his face: “It’s okay, there is still a chance in the future, right?”
"Yes, there is still a chance in the future." Cruise interjected next to him.
Adrian shrugged and said a few other things to others, then got up and left. After walking through the lively crowd, I greeted Emma Thompson and Al Pacino, who were talking and laughing, and congratulations again, and after greeting with many people, he came to the man who was sitting at the bar and drinking alone. Around.
"Martini, add ice." After instructing the bartender, Adrian looked at Lavern: "Are you okay, Laver."
"Of course, what's wrong?" Laffern turned his head, his face glowed with red light, without any expected frustration.
Therefore, Adrian froze for a few minutes, and did not react until the bartender brought the martini he wanted in front of him.
"You surprised me, Laffer." He said with a smile.
"Because I didn't cry with a headache or complained about myself?" Raphin asked with a smile.
"Not so exaggerated, but I thought at least you would be downcast for a while." Adrian did not conceal.
"It's true that it's downcast, but the time is short, and it's okay after walking out of the music center. It's useless, and-I believe you won't just do that, right?" Lavern's eyes blinked. Blinked at him.
Adrian looked at him a little surprised for a while, and then spread his hands: "It seems that all the words I thought of were not used. This...should I be lucky?"
Lavern smiled: "I have made many wrong judgments and seen many times, but this time I will not."
"Okay..." Adrian smacked his mouth. He knew he didn’t have to say much, so he raised his glass to Lavern: "So, respect Oscar."
"King Oscar." Ravine also raised the cup in his hand, and then the two cups touched together, making a ding sound.
Since Laffern does not need to comfort himself, what should he do? After working on Martini's Adrian, he was about to find another goal. Claude's voice rang in his ears: "Hey, Ed, you are here."
"Don’t tell, you have been looking for me for such a long time." Adrian immediately turned his head and pointed to his nose, "I have been sitting with the old man Shi Yi, unless your eyes are suddenly blind, otherwise I can't see me."
"Okay," Claude said, rolling his eyes. "I just made a circle around."
"Turn around? Why didn't I see that, and who moved upstairs?" Adrian asked deliberately.
"I'm not like you, I would like to do this kind of thing at a party." Claude shrugged.
"I don't think there is any difference between bringing a woman to a hotel and a party room," Adrian sneered, but immediately shifted the subject and said: "Just because I have something to do with you, find a secluded corner and talk about it."
"Find a secluded corner? Isn’t this a good place?"
"If you want someone to interrupt you on average every 3 minutes, I don’t have any comments."
The two found a relatively quiet seat. Claude looked around and suddenly asked, "What about your lover?"
"Monica knows when to be by my side." Adrian smiled and seemed very proud, but the horse was full of face: "My proposal, how are you thinking about it?"
"I know what you think, overseas distribution rights are indeed important, but if this acquisition is successful, we will also have overseas distribution rights, won't we?" Claude said with a smile.
The issue of overseas distribution rights is indeed very important. This is one of the criteria for entering mpaa. If Hollywood is a big company, then mpaa is the company’s board of directors, and the seven major movie companies that hold mpaa grading standards are board members. Although mpaa is just a private institution, the rights it has are one of the best. No movie can be released without rating-oh, it can be released without rating, but once the unrated release label is attached, then only Played in a few movie theaters, there is neither box office nor much influence. No matter what kind of film producers, it is impossible to choose not to grade, unless this method is intended to be hyped in the first place.
Even if they are graded, different levels will greatly affect the box office. The box office of R and PG-13 is completely different, not to mention -17, which is not much worse than X or unrated. Therefore, when the big productions of major companies are submitted to the trial every year, there is always a fight for open fire and arrows. It would be great if the opponent's movie level could be improved by one level.
If Adrian wants to build his empire, then its film companies must have a place in mpaa, so overseas distribution rights must also be owned. It's just that he now wants to say more than this.
"Want to tell me again, the story of salesman and leather shoes, Crow?" Adrian asked with raised eyebrow.
"Hey, Ed, I did not refuse," Claude raised his hands with a wry smile, "I want to say that the country is still very new to us, and the matter is less than four years old. Time is not the best opportunity now."
"Okay, Crow, don’t use political topics to obscure me, you should know that your planned acquisition target has already begun to investigate in China," Adrian rebutted politely, "Why these two years The overseas box office of China is at least 20% higher than before? Because the market in Eastern Europe is completely opened after 1991. If the Chinese market is opened again, think about it, they have 1 billion to 1.2 billion people, if each How much profit would it cost to spend 1 yuan to watch a movie? It is a matter of time before Japan becomes Hollywood’s largest box office base in East Asia"
Anyway sooner or later, the tuition fees for Chinese movies have to be paid. Instead of giving it to others, it is better to give it to yourself. This is the intention of Adrian. He only considered commercial interests, as for other aspects, there is no need to worry at all. How the Chinese government implements protection, he knows better than anyone, much easier and tougher than the governments of European countries.
If they are willing to listen, Adrian doesn’t mind letting Chinese movies take a few detours—of course, it’s just a little bit~IndoMTL.com~He is an American now after all, expecting them to believe him without reservation? Do not make jokes. In short, in the case of sufficient profits, try to help a little can be considered an account.
"You are right, but a little bit idealized." Claude said, before snatching something before Adrian said: "Don't say I have been against you, Ed, think about it , From the Japanese Yen speculation to the present, your proposal is so surprised every time, I have to consider the problem in all aspects, and then I have been satisfying you, haven't you?"
"I always understand you, Crow, otherwise I would have long since..." Adrian made a "click" gesture and said with a joke.
"Okay, I’ve arranged for people to investigate and wait until the results come out." Claude waved his hand.
"That's it." Adrian didn't say much. After shrugging, his eyes were attracted by people not far away.
"I have something else to do, so I will leave first." After dropping this sentence, he walked over there.
"This guy..." Claude shook his head and smiled after seeing the target of Adrian. ()
