King of Hollywood Chapter 248: Started

“I’ve had enough, Ed” Glum’s face flushed and shouted furiously with his fists in the office, “I’ve said so much, so many opinions, but one word for you I can’t hear you. Have you ever respected me?

"Of course I respect you, Winston," Adrian behind the desk spread his hands, as if he didn't see the other person's angry expression at all. "I have been trying to solve our differences."

"Find a way to resolve the differences?" The old man's eyes were wide and his lips were trembling slightly, showing that he was extremely angry. "Take my opinions as air, and always change the plot as you want. This Also called to find ways to resolve differences?"

"The problem is that your opinion and the tone of the idea do not match, Winston," Adrian said happily. "I have said this many times. You always want to bring the script closer to political satire. I always want to highlight both sides of the protagonist, and I don’t want to have a little relationship with politics at all."

Grumm rubbed the sides of his head, and suddenly raised his hands: "So, our opinions can't be agreed at all? Well, then I quit, Ed, I'm not **** fucking"

He looked at Adrian with a "two shots at a time" expression.

"Are you going to quit?" Adrian raised an eyebrow. He just waited for this sentence, "Well, then I will do it alone."

"Completed alone?" Glum noticed that there was something wrong, "The contract clearly said..."

"Articles 11 to 14 of paragraph 7 of the contract are a good illustration of what I can do in this situation." Adrian interrupted his speech with a brisk voice, "So I think this is not The slightest question."

"This...how is this possible" Glum's already flushed face began to develop toward purple, and the facial features became somewhat distorted, and a word came out after a while: "This is a trap, I want Sue you"

"As you like," Adrian's face suddenly froze, and he looked at Glum with a sneer. "I'm always there, Winston. Anyway, I have more movies to make, and I don't care about this one. Besides..."

He sat upright and looked at him with playful eyes: "It was sold to me for 15 years."

Glum stared at him, his face was unusually ugly, his breathing became thicker, his fists clenched tightly, and he seemed to swing at any time. But he finally let out a breath and ran out of his teeth without saying a word.

With a loud noise, the office finally returned to quietness, Adrian snorted scornfully, leaning his head against the back of the chair, and originally planned to get Glum’s best adaptation award to be worthy of the name, but this old man A rising temper can't be changed at all. No wonder people were kicked away in the past. Once this kind of person is stubborn, no matter what your status is, you can't pull back from ten, not to mention nine cattle, so it is more comfortable to deal with people who are admiring and recognizing.

But now it’s okay, tearing his face means that he can modify the script more quickly, instead of always putting some energy on persuasion and disputes as before. Besides, Adrian is also benevolent. If Grum really filed a lawsuit, he would definitely not be polite with him, and other people would not say much.

Fixed this matter, Adrian started a leisurely life again, such as communicating with Natalie, going to the record company from time to time, or teasing Charlize, and dating Monica-Julia is in After being rejected for asking him to spend Thanksgiving, he was given a look for several days.

Publicity work for several movies has been put on track. Needless to say, "The Piano". "Philadelphia Story" has attracted quite a lot of attention under the signs of homosexuality and discrimination against AIDS, but it is still more Schindler's List". The black-and-white trailer was broadcast on major TV stations one week before Thanksgiving. Spielberg's hand-edited trailer attracted countless eyeballs for the first time, followed by a large variety of speeches.

There is no line from beginning to end, only a sad and heavy soundtrack. Various black and white pictures alternate from time to time. Jews who are arbitrarily insulted, packed in a train compartment going to hell, are poured out of the bag The golden teeth, as well as Stein's calmness, Aimon's arrogance, and Schindler's contemplation, appeared one after another, making people feel involuntarily pressured.

"It is often said that the trailer is the essence of the movie. In just a few minutes, it focuses on the most worth seeing, but "Schindler's List" seems to break this rule." Some people wrote this, but some people I think this trailer is pretty good.

"Spielberg made a bold attempt. In his view, black and white colors are more able to express the sad environment at that time." They said so, and then many people agreed with this view, and Those who opposed continued to object, and the two opinions began to dispute, further raising the public's appetite, and the rhythm was very well controlled.

It is needless to know who is manipulating this. With Laftern’s ability and the secret help of those old men, "Schindler's List" will inevitably receive more favorable reviews than the version in memory. In addition, Viacom's acquisition of Paramount has also been settled, although Somer Redstone has settled Barry Diller as early as the end of October, he simply bought BesTV with the funds in his hands. Da, then used this as collateral to borrow money from the bank, and finally offered a price of 11 billion US dollars, but it was not officially entered into the main paramount until mid-November.

During this period, they were basically negotiating with Claude. Claude was taking this opportunity to enter Viacom’s board of directors. Even if he could not do anything, he would have to occupy a seat. However, Lei Shidong obviously does not think the media is qualified to do so, so the two have been unable to talk.

Claude was not in a hurry. He always talked slowly with Lei Shidong until he submitted a letter of intent to Turner Broadcasting in mid-November. Many people were surprised by the actions of the media, especially Ted Turner, who was immersed in the joy of successfully acquiring the new line of film companies. This famous media company that was not established for a long time was silent. He has almost 40% of the shares in TBS-Crowder believes that 30% is enough, but Adrian insists on 51%. After earning no money, the two took a compromise: 40%.

Not everyone knows their details, so although some people in the industry are surprised, they are not optimistic about this acquisition. But Lei Shidong was obviously not among them, so he thought about Claude's request that he agreed with after a long time.

"He is optimistic about us." Claude said to Adrian, "If it were not for the acquisition of Paramount by Diller, he might aim at us after the acquisition of Paramount. You are very interested."

"Thank him for me and tell him that I am very happy that we can get a seat on Viacom’s board of directors." Adrian replied.

As for the acquisition of TBS, I have been waiting for so long and I am not in a hurry. Claude has made sufficient preparations. Ted Turner, even if there are 10,000 reluctances, don’t want to win this war-at least He said so. Adrian, who is not proficient in this aspect, naturally handed over to his own buddy, and then enjoyed his life with peace of mind.

Thanksgiving Day in 1993 finally arrived. Adrian went to Italy with Monica, because no one noticed them because they kept a low profile. The two went around Central Italy together. Of course, as a repertoire, they lived at Monica’s parents’ house on Thanksgiving Day.

"My parents love you." When Monica said this to Adrian, the two were walking on the streets of Milan. After hearing that Adrian had not been here, Monica immediately took him to Milan. When she was a professional model, she had participated in catwalks in Milan and was very familiar with everything here.

"Thank you, they are so enthusiastic." Adrian smiled slightly, holding Monica's arm tight.

It is indeed very enthusiastic. His good manners and manners have won the favor of Monica’s parents, so that Monica’s mother privately asked when her daughter plans to get married. It was the second day of Thanksgiving. When Adrian planned to tell Monica to leave as planned, he overheard it outside the half-covered door. At the same time, there are still some embarrassing topics. For example, her mother asked her if she cried so loud at night.

Milan just had a heavy snowfall. The winter sun shines on the snow that has not been cleaned, making everything look so clean. Although people wear thick clothes, they are still very tasteful in dressing up. Worthy of being the fashion capital.

Monica didn't speak anymore, just walked quietly with Adrian, her feet squeaking on the snow.

"What are you thinking?" Adrian actively asked, "Do you think the previous small fashion show was not exciting?"

Although this year's International Fashion Festival has long passed, but here is Milan, large and small fashion shows are available at any time, plus Monica has spent a lot of time, naturally have to watch a few catwalks ~ IndoMTL. com~ It's just that when watching, Monica's attention is obviously not on the catwalk. As for where, from the conversation just now you can peek at one or two.

"Probably." Monica said, and then suddenly laughed, with a free and easy between her brows.

"Ed," she asked in his ear and whispered, "If one day, I want to leave you, will you let me leave?"

"Of course not," Adrian replied without hesitation, "You know, I am a jerk, very greedy, and possessive, so I will never let you go."

"Really...a standard Ed answer." Monica pouted and didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

"Unless," Adrian suddenly reopened, "I can't give you anything anymore, and you feel no longer attached to me."

Monica immediately raised her head and stared at Adrian's eyes. He looked back seriously.

"Sure enough, you always..." The girl sighed and suddenly wrapped around his neck and kissed him, so there was a pair of men and women who were passionately kissing on the streets of Milan.
