King of Hollywood Chapter 295: Some measures are better

Rachel ? Vichy's status is also a type of "do not treat famous women as people", but it is different from Nicole and Zeta Jones. Adrian still likes her, and their interests are entangled. Not as deep as they are. His relationship with her is very special. Just like Britney, Rachel has unique attributes among Adrian women.

Adrian likes this kind of Rachel very much, just like the excitement she showed in the desperate struggle. As for the idea of ​​Rachel , that is not important, although she may have realized her problem, if at first the level of her **** is still very light, it is now completely controlled by Adrian, you know, she The sadomasochistic complex is psychological rather than physical.

Okay, back to the topic, there is no doubt that "Tomb Raider" has been quite successful. It won 15 million box office in the 3000 North American theaters on the day of the premiere, and not only maintained this momentum for the next two days. There was even an increase, so the final box office for the three days of the weekend was more than 47 million, and it was the top of the weekend box office rankings.

"Amazing special effects and interesting plots, the actors' acting skills are also very commendable, Stephen Somers made a wonderful movie." "Variety" commented.

Roger Robert also affirmed the movie: "It's hard to say that the film fits my appetite, but it applauds me at almost every moment. I don't argue about the script, scene scheduling or acting skills, and the mummy, but I can be sure It’s because I don’t feel bored. Sometimes it’s inexplicably pleasant. This is a good movie.”

Even if some people think that the mummies in the movie did not play their due role in horror, those untimely and insignificant jokes dilute the emotions, but they also admit that this movie is still very good in terms of entertainment.

Somos also raised his eyebrows, and the setbacks suffered because of "Extremely Cold" have also been reduced a lot, but now is not the time to completely relax. Although the momentum of the movie is very good, he spent nearly 80 million after all. Investment, he will not be too stable until he can earn the cost back, so even if he has the idea of ​​making a sequel, he can only temporarily suppress it.

However, he can ignore this for the time being, and it does not mean that others will also ignore it.

“I know you may be a bit worried, so all you have to do now is outline the sequel, and then slowly fill in the content, so you don’t have to delay too much time when you start the preparation, I always do. Do it." Adrian explained to him with a smile. "Besides, you know, the film is foreshadowing."

Somos certainly knows that Adrian reminded him as early as the filming, it is best to make some fortunes for the sequel in the film, such as the name of Emerdon to Evelyn, the two also discussed a Fan.

"It’s very simple, it is impossible for ordinary people to participate in this kind of thing. We can work on the cause and effect relationship. For example, what important person was Rick’s Eveline’s previous life-set Eveline as Pharaoh’s Daughter, what do you think? Yes, we are talking about the sequel, but why can’t we put the foreplay in the first episode? If there is really a sequel,” Adrian said at the time.

In this case, Sommers has nothing to say, anyway, it is just a few lines of modification in the movie. So Emerton's words changed slightly after meeting Evelyn for the first time, and her attitude towards her also changed afterwards.

"His Royal Highness? Please come with me, Ansuna!" Imorton said.

In addition, after eating the first American, Emorton's title to Evelyn also added the words "His Royal Highness". Of course, in order not to make this title look like a pit, the dialogue with the curator and others in the library was also slightly modified.

"He called me Her Royal Highness Princess and Ansuna, what does that mean?" Evelyn asked the curator.

"Ansuna is his lover and the reason why he was punished. As for Her Royal Highness...Ansuna is not a princess." The curator replied.

"Maybe he's been buried underground for thousands of years, and he's already confused?" Jonathan quipped.

Ansuna is the daughter of a nobleman. It’s okay to be called Her Royal Highness—or don’t get entangled in these details. The problems we face are very serious. He obviously wants to resurrect her. "Ades, the man in black, replied.

With these foreshadowings, it will be easier to round the story after the sequel comes out, and those who are very careful to notice this incomplete little bug will also suddenly realize it. However, it is indeed a bit early to talk about the sequel, so Adrian just let Somos prepare the outline for the time being and wait until the first part is fully fermented.

After the premiere, I stayed two more days to confirm the weekend box office, and Adrian returned to New Zealand again. Although Rachel 's appearance in "Tomb Raider" is very good, and she is basically pinned in his hand, but Adrian did not play the game many times during this time. Before he left, he did not forget to visit his daughter and two pregnant women with big belly who started to become emotional.

Although Monica and Sophie very much hope he can stay with them for a few more days, who Adrian chose the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy? Monica and Sophie lost their temper. If it was before, they wouldn't understand, but now they are pregnant or pregnant for a few months, so it needs to be understood.

Adrian is naturally not the kind of person who does not understand. It took a lot of effort to coax them down, and promised to return to Los Angeles by the end of the month, all the time will be used to accompany them. Anyway, the next period of time is relatively calm, and there is nothing that needs urgent attention, as long as the progress of "The Lord of the Rings" has not fallen.

Actually, it’s not enough to make progress. Jackson did a really good job. Before Adrian left because he participated in the premiere of "Sky Trap", he completed the task he was very satisfied with. He returned to participate this time. Before "Tomb Raider" specially arranged a few main scenes for him to try to direct, the result is also very good.

More importantly, he didn’t attach too much to those big scenes and grand narrative techniques as the beginning, what Adrian instilled in him obviously worked.

"Good job, it seems that even without me, you can make these three series independently." He teased Jackson so much, "It seems that you can take care of the rest of the shots."

Of course, this is just a talk. Although most of this version is similar to the original version, there are also many adjustments. Such adjustments can only be done by a person who knows the advantages and disadvantages of the original version. However, the production of certain scenes can indeed be handed over to Jackson, but it will take another month or so, because the southern hemisphere has completely entered the winter.

"What should I say? Sympathy for the unfortunate encounter you encountered?" Cameron teasingly asked after holding a beer bottle after Adrian complained about the weather.

"No, no, James, as long as you let your studio make the best possible results at the lowest price, that is the greatest help for me." Adrian shakes his head like a rattle.

"That doesn't matter to me, you know, my pursuit of perfection is endless." Cameron laughed.

"The problem is, I'm not you, and I don't plan to invest unlimited funds for a movie." Adrian took a sip of beer.

"Hah, so you admit it, at least in some ways you are not as good as me." Cameron shouted like he discovered the New World.

Who knows Adrian puts his hands together: "When did I say that I surpassed you in all respects? Yes, I am really good at some aspects, but I am not a versatile person. It is a shame to admit that I am inferior to others. Things?"

"Damn it, you can't make me a little happy for a few minutes?" Cameron felt a punch in the air and sighed, and then raised his beer bottle and touched it with his hand. There was a loud sound.

"You know, if you want to produce good special effects, the necessary expenditure is certain, of course, if you have any extraordinary suggestions, you can also tell them." Cameron said afterwards.

"Speaking...I do have a suggestion." Adrian suddenly thought of something. "Don't you think that outsourcing some special effects can make the studio more efficient?"

"Outsourcing? Are you kidding?" Cameron raised an eyebrow. "Or you want to tell me that you think my studio is not doing well enough, so you plan to outsource to Industrial Light and Magic?"

"Of course not," Adrian laughed, "I know what you mean, James, I just want to say that those with low technical content, such as those hand-painted vision CG maps-you feel outsourced to China How is it?"

"China? That centralized country? What kind of CG pictures can they draw? If you were to say Hong Kong, it might be possible." Cameron frowned.

"My company started dealing with Chinese people four or five years ago. Maybe they don’t know much about that ancient country, but definitely not many people need to be clear. They may not be very good now, but in the future It's hard to say." Adrian said leisurely, and then swallowed back the sentence "it will take a few years, you have to go to them to promote new movies".

As a rebirth, he would not know how big the Chinese market is, so when Hollywood movie companies began planning to go to China to try, he persuaded Claude to participate in the "market" . In the beginning, because the influence was not enough, it was basically a "wasteland" in cooperation with Paramount. A few years later, the company gradually grew stronger, and together with Universal, one of the seven major film companies, it gradually began to deal with Chinese officials independently.

It doesn’t affect anything. It’s just a matter of finding the right person and the way. It’s very simple to cooperate. The twists and turns inside, Adrian is undoubtedly better than those of other film companies. In addition, he also registered many things at the China Intellectual Property Office-such as the penguin.

Although the Chinese Patent Office was established in 80 years, not many people cared about it until the Japanese stole countless technologies and registered them worldwide, and then in turn asked them to pay patent fees before they regretted it. Interestingly, Westerners who are now developing markets in China do not have this consciousness. They may register trademarks and patents in Taiwan, Hong Kong and other places, but selectively forget the mainland.

The most famous example is Apple, but Western companies have the advantages, the means, and the backstage. Unlike China in the 1980s, there is no way to know that it’s pitted by Japan. Rao is so, many Western companies have suffered a lot in this respect, so Adrian will not let this happen to him, he is now a capitalist.

However, although I got the trademark of ipad around the world—I have to say that Jobs is a crazy and powerful guy. Now that Apple has completely gotten out of its predicament, it has begun to have a surplus, although there are factors that IT stocks have begun to expand. Including, but it has nothing to do with his personal ability, maybe the iPad plan is now in his mind, so get the trademark in advance, it is necessary to win the relationship.

As for others, he doesn’t care so much. He is not great enough to remind others. As for China, anyway, most of his current achievements come from his previous life. Some things must be faced, but don’t worry, he already has plans, he always has many plans.

Okay, far away, Adrian did not continue the topic of outsourcing, although he did think about it, it also depends on the specific situation.

"Are you still taking a leisurely vacation? No other ideas?" Adrian asked.

"Who told you? I'm still on vacation but I haven't put down the job of shooting. I'm making a documentary about the ocean." Cameron Zhenzhen said with words.

"I heard that Fox had the idea to produce "Terminator3", don't you want to be a director?" Adrian asked deliberately.

"Come on, I told you that this series is over after "Terminator 2", and the director’s edited version has already explained my attitude." Cameron said a little bit dissatisfied, obviously disliked Fox’s In the three plans, they also modified the ending he liked in order to ambush the sequel and had to put it in the director's edited version.

"But you are still indispensable to the producers and screenwriters." Adrian laughed.

"Yes, I know." Cameron sighed, "Let's talk about you, Ed, you promised me before, there will be a movie that is suitable for me to direct, when is it going to be fulfilled? You know, I always thought you were talking about "Spider-Man", but I didn't expect...this is really sad."

Listening to his sigh, Adrian couldn't help but smile and shook his head. Does anyone know that "King of the World" was a fan of "Spider-Man" before he became obsessed with the movie because of "2001: A Space Odyssey". In fact, when he finished "Terminator 2" in the early 1990s, he had the idea of ​​putting "Spider-Man" on the big screen, and he also found a film company to support it. They also got the movie rights from the surprise.

However, unfortunately or fortunately, because the animation and TV copyrights of "Spider-Man" were sold from Marvel, Sony also has some movie copyrights, and the two could not get together-Sony has a asking price of 2 billion- So it hasn't been solved for a long time. This company only bought it for a period of five years. In addition, Cameron started to be busy with "Titanic" again, and finally it was gone.

The copyright of Marvel’s comic characters has always been very confusing. When a character sells several companies, Wall Street analysts warned that if the copyright problem cannot be solved, then these comic characters It is difficult to be transformed into capital, which has a negative impact.

So after the acquisition was completed, the media began to recover the copyright of the comic characters while integrating surprise. Sony can speak to the company Lion, but it cannot do so to the media. It's a little of how much cooperation there is with each other, and it's also a surprise when the media has a hand-in the case of a lawsuit, the media has a great advantage.

In addition, the copyright of the movie that Sony obtained is permanent. Does the world have permanent copyright? What's more, the media is an American company. Once it won't have a lot of wins in the book court, it will be less.

Adrian just replaced all the movie rights of "Spider-Man" ​​with a few bad comic characters and scripts. Fortunately, no one realized the value of surprise at this time, otherwise it will not be so smooth.

"That's not good, dear James, I've seen the script you wrote for "Spider-Man". To be honest, it's not bad, but it's a bit dark, and it's too mature." Adrian said.

"Is there any problem with the superhero movie becoming darker and darker?" Cameron said dissatisfiedly.

"Of course not. The biggest charm of Marvel Super Heroes is that they are all people with shortcomings." Adrian shrugged. "However, the first thing we have to do is to start the Marvel Comics signboard and let all Everyone recognizes the charm of the superhero of Marvel Comics, so the movie is at least PG-13."

Cameron’s script doesn’t have so much conversation. Peter Parker is a bad guy with bad talk, and he has **** with Mary on the Brooklyn Bridge, and these need to converge at least before opening the situation for surprise.

“Don’t do this. At least this version of the script also retains the design that you designed to shoot spider silk from your wrist~IndoMTL.com~ If you want, I can let them write your name on the script.” Adrian Patted Cameron on the shoulder.

Yes, in the comics, Peter Parker used his own equipment to spray spider silk, but Cameron’s original script was set to directly and fully squirt from the wrist, and this version is currently scheduled to be released at the end of the year. His design.

"No, I am not a stingy person." Cameron said with a smile. (Note)

"Okay, I have to go. I will arrange for everyone to go to the ski resort in Queenstown tomorrow. I always have to ask." After looking at the time, Adrian looked up and drank the beer in his hand.

"Wait, Ed." Cameron suddenly stopped him, a strange look on his face.

"What's wrong?" Adrian looked at him.

"We are old friends, right?"

"Of course."

"...Sometimes, some sizes are better."
