King of Hollywood Chapter 319: Great pen
"Did you really agree?" Adrian asked again, staring at the girl in front of him, and seemed to be a little unbelievable.
Charliez did not answer this time, but shrugged.
"Okay..." He squeezed the bridge of his nose with a bitter smile. "You should understand that I asked them to find you because I wanted to use your mouth to refuse them."
"Oh?" Charlitz raised his eyebrows in surprise. "Don't you want to agree and embarrassed to agree directly, so let me do it for you?"
There is no doubt that she did it on purpose. Although Adrian hated her teeth, it was helpless. After staring again for a long while, she said again: "What did you promise to do? You haven't acted in movies."
"They said that this character is just a vase, and they don't need much acting skills. When they were in charge of secretarial work, they visited your studio a lot. They also produced some TV series in recent years, and they are very familiar with that set." Charlie I said in a brisk tone, "Besides, Cate, they all have their own roles, I think I can also try."
"Can you try? Ha..." Adrian rolled his eyes and scratched his head. "Okay, but don’t forget, Charlie, you are now the vice president of ABC. Do you have time to participate in filming?"
"I haven't taken the annual holiday this year, and Stan? Lee assured me that there will not be too many scenes of little peppers, and it will not be a month if they are added together." Charlize took what he hated , As if the winning ticket is holding a smile.
"I won't agree." Adrian can only be used in the end.
"It's okay, Crow agrees." Charlize then looked to the other side, sitting there without talking from beginning to end, and bored Claude playing the pen game.
"I?" He finally raised his head after hearing that he was mentioned, and then made a thoughtless action without concealing it. Obviously, he hadn't been listening before. Then he shrugged and looked at Adrian with a smile: "No problem, I agree."
After hearing this sentence, Adrian suddenly twitched the corners of his mouth, and asked with a black face: "Are you going to be right with me, Crow?"
"No, no, Ed," Claude smiled, waving his hands. "I really think Stan and their proposal are very suitable for you. Think about it. Realistic geniuses, billionaires, and playboys. It’s so exciting to play genius, billionaire and **** personally in the movie."
"If so, why don't you try it?" Adrian sneered.
"I really want to, but the problem is, first of all, I need to manage the company, not as free as you; secondly, I don’t meet the third condition, and I don’t have a secretary assistant as vice president. Intimate lover." Claude shook his finger grinningly, then smiled apologetically at Charlize, and Charlize made a casual gesture that she didn't mind at all.
"Also," he did not wait for Adrian to speak, and then said, "It is also the most important point, Ed, but you are the signboard of AC Media, you are already so dazzling, do you want to cover up your own light? Get up? Why can’t it be more dazzling? What’s more, you can use this opportunity to instill another image for people.”
Hearing this remark, the Adrian that was just wanted was stunned. It was seriously considered for the first time. Is he actually playing Tony? Stark did not resist, and even eager to try, just like Stan before? Old man Li and Claude now say that playing genius, billionaire and **** as genius, billionaire and **** is indeed a gimmick. Even Adrian is inevitable. This kind of unprecedented The feat of the future comer has an appetite for him.
Not to mention how he respects Howard? Hughes, he is a true genius, a technical genius. Even if such a person is full of quirks, but everywhere, it is no wonder that he will create Tony based on him as a prototype? Stark. It is certainly not possible to play Adrian as a real person, but it is no problem to play a virtual superhero based on him.
The key point is that before this, before winning the best director three times in a row, he always maintained a pattern with one foot in the foreground and one foot behind the scenes. And now, he is basically in front, this situation must be controlled, really focus on the eyeball, otherwise he can continue to find ways to get the best director, become the person who takes the best director, now it can’t, just go A few years will do.
So even if the surprise describes the prospect very attractively, he is indeed a bit tempted, but eventually he has to reject it in a euphemistic way. But what I didn't expect was that Charlize actually put himself together and helped Claude as a lobbyist. After hearing her affirmative answer, Adrian really wanted to "learn" her on the spot.
But Claude's words opened another door for him. The actor and the director are different after all. A good director is not necessarily a good actor. This is another from 0 to 1. The process is not from 10 to 1000. What's more, this is a commercial movie, and it has nothing to do with honors and Oscars. People will only find it interesting and incredible, not excessive.
At the same time, this can also make Adrian appear to the public with a brand new image, especially his characteristics and Tony? Stark is very close, so why not agree to come down?
"I have to admit, Crow, your proposal made me very emotional, but..." Adrian said slowly, but unfortunately he was interrupted before exporting: "Come on, Ed, you just Can you please refresh and answer'yes'?"
Adrian couldn't help but feel a bit angry, and after glaring at him, he looked at Charlize: "Is this completely your opinion?"
"Um..." Claude couldn't help but smiled and shook his head. "Okay, Charlie first moved me, and then I...thought so."
Just as Charlize understands Adrian, why does Adrian not know Charlize? Since she dare to show herself so blatantly, there must be a reason. Well, although this is definitely to fool him, this reason is indeed acceptable, and... Charlize did not want to appear with him in his heart, so--
"Then I will make this movie a little more interesting." Adrian sighed, but then cunningly smiled at the last sentence, and then muttered again: "Damn , My Paladin only reached level 30."
Basically, as long as the Adrian is relieved, things are almost settled. However, there is still a long time to leave the machine, a formal signing is essential, even if Marvel Comics is the parent company of AC Media. There are a lot of business rules, otherwise it will be quite troublesome to pull the skin in the future, even if there is a contract.
Moreover, any requirements can be discussed at this time. Only after full communication with each other can a consensus be reached. For example, Adrian requires that no rumors should be disclosed before the filming is completed, at least not to let the media know, he and Charlize Stark and Chili respectively. Both Marvel and Universal agreed, but then offered 2 million pieces of film rewards and hoped to sign at least four film contracts.
Of course, this is impossible. The Adrian who knew what they were playing with, immediately declined. The 3 million paycheck is acceptable. Anyway, from the actor's point of view, he is a newcomer, but signing multiple contracts is impossible. Although he knows that this is a series, the Iron Man trilogy and the Revenge League have been arranged, but This does not mean they can do whatever they want, so--
"One by one, I can guarantee that it won't go up too far." Adrian said to the surprised group.
The purpose of their search for him is to save money in addition to enough gimmicks. As mentioned earlier, if Adrian starred as a newcomer, then the film will not cost much, if you can use the price to the next few It's better to talk down. This sounds exaggerated. Surprisingly, even their boss wants to squeeze, but as long as they think about how they "treated" the new actors, they can know that these guys can do it.
However, Adrian is not a newcomer after all, so let’s just pay 2 million. In the future, it will be acceptable to gradually increase from 10 million to 20 million depending on whether the box office is selling big, but the share is definitely higher than others. He knows how popular the Iron Man series is?
In addition, it is also necessary to hold an exchange meeting after the preliminary formation of the crew, otherwise how to cooperate? It is conceivable that when one of the crew of the crew-including the director and the producer-saw Adrian enter Charlize into the meeting room and sit down in the position of the protagonist, what should he look like?
"You... hello, Mr. Kewell, I am... I am... Jon? Fei Ru, you can call me Jon." The fat director stuttered and greeted Adrian.
Marvel and Universal still chose Jon? Fei Ru served as the director of "Iron Man". As a result, his storytelling ability was not bad. Although last year's "Game of the Brave 2" encountered Waterloo, at least 60 of the responsibility is on the publisher; The most important point is that he is cheaper, and he is so surprised that he can hit his boss's idea, so he naturally chooses him.
What's more, after this choice, it was approved by Adrian. In his view, Fei Ru did very well. At least Iron Man, as a superhero movie, has all the factors and the theme— -How do ordinary people or ordinary geniuses become superheroes? If so, why not continue? Superheroes are always superheroes, and commercial masterpieces are always commercial masterpieces.
By the way, without his interference, Christine? The young girl Stuart still participated in "Game of the Brave 2", and she occasionally needs one or two works with poor box office.
"Hello, Jon, please call me Adrian or Ed." Adrian smiled and took the handshake with Fei Ru and others, and introduced Charlize to them.
"Don’t worry, Jon, you’re the director of this movie, and I listen to you." He then said again, if someone still had a fluke before and thought he was just doing the wrong position, then this After the sentence is basically certain.
"Okay...Okay...Sir...Oh, Ed..." Fei Ru couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Nice to work with you, Ed." Don who plays Stark's friend Colonel Rhodes? Chandel was slightly better, but also with a wry smile.
The whole crew has only the role of Adrian, who was surprised to want to invite Terrence? Howard's, he has played roles in many good movies, and has been nominated for the best actor Oscar, fame is enough. But compared to several top black movie stars, such as Denzel? Washington, Will? Smith, but cheaper, is a good candidate.
But Adrian asked Barkley if they asked Howard to increase their remuneration after the movie and ask for a remuneration that exceeds their bottom line? So choose Tang, which is cheaper and has more space for remuneration? Chandel.
At this time, not only Fei Ru and Chandler were very depressed, but the others also rolled their eyes secretly. As one of the giants in Hollywood, and also a legendary figure known as a miracle director, if you cooperate as a director, it’s okay, but as an actor...even if Adrian does nothing, just standing there is enough to let many People were trembling.
"Sorry, everyone, I'm a little late." Surprised Kevin? Figo together with Ron from around the world? Meyer came to the meeting room together, and the meeting began.
Generally speaking, this will be no different from the usual preparations, that is, to communicate with each other, have a preliminary understanding of each other, and then determine the boot time and so on. With Adrian in, no one can really calm down, especially when Figo and Meyer personally admit that Miracle Director will play Tony? Stark, the last glimmer of hope has shattered. How many days are there on April 1st?
Of course, a bigger blow is still coming. Although Adrian introduced Charlize to everyone, they only gave a brief introduction, and none of them here read business magazines very much. Therefore, when Figo introduced Charlize After his identity was revealed, the gang suddenly thundered again in the wind. They basically thought that Charlize was Adrian's new lover. Director Miracle planned to use this movie to take her up, but did not expect that this beautiful and somewhat glamorous woman was not only one of the shareholders of VI Network Group, but also He is also the vice president of ABC.
This is so hell! A billionaire is not enough, but also a billionaire female billionaire! What does Marvel and Universal want to do? This is the voice of all crew members present.
"Although Ms. Theron has never acted in a film, she has produced many shows and TV series. She also has a lot of experience in acting... Whether it is a secretary assistant or company management and operation, she also has a wealth of experience, so... …Don’t worry too much.” When it comes to Figo, he has to cough up and down to relieve his embarrassment.
However, after this sentence, some flexible minds almost guessed something, but they were not sure, so Adrian quickly opened his mouth.
"That’s it, Charlie worked as a secretary assistant for me for seven to eight years before going to ABC as a manager. You know, although I have also appeared in many movies, but the acting experience is not It’s great, so I think that if someone who is familiar with me but who has no acting experience at the same time may make me invest in it as soon as possible, then I thought of Charlie, just because Charlie doesn’t have much to do for the time being To deal with it, I promised to play the role of teething," he said directly, quite sounding.
Okay, basically you can be sure here. Since this beautiful woman has been a secretary assistant for him for seven or eight years, there is no doubt that he is one of his many lovers. Then, since billionaires are invited to play as billionaires and playboys are played as playboys, why can't they invite assistants to play as assistants? It's also... really generous. If this news spreads, I don't know how many eyeballs it will attract, but what do they think of them? A guest of the billionaire mini-game?
"I know what you are thinking?" Adrian spoke again, with a faint smile, "Don't worry, since I promised to play this role, I will definitely ask myself as a formal actor , I will definitely not interfere with the shooting, I will try my best to cooperate and respect your request, even if I have any ideas, I will fully communicate with you, I promise."
Although this is still not completely reassuring, as a big man, he has expressed his attitude so that the people present have no other thoughts, and once again said that it is an honour to cooperate with him.
"I can direct the first movie where the miracle director acts as the protagonist. I believe I can leave my name in the hearts of countless people." Fei Ru, who adjusted his mindset, also joked.
"I also believe that I also believe that this will be an excellent commercial movie." Adrian does not skimp on his own views to enhance the morale of everyone.
Then, he thought of something that patted Fei Ru's shoulder: "Oh, Jon, you should also play a role. You started as an actor, didn't you?"
"Um... yes." Fei Ru was a little embarrassed. He only officially became a director after the millennium, and before that he was active in Hollywood as an actor-although only a third-line Comedian~IndoMTL.com~ So before that he had a nickname, it was not as good as he would be acting, he was acting, and he was not as good as he was acting. However, once Adrian takes the lead role in "Iron Man" and succeeds, this title may have to be thrown away.
"Very good," Adrian continued at this time, "So how about you acting as the driver and bodyguard of Stark? There aren't many scenes, but I'm very happy, you are right."
"No problem." Fei Ru returned to normal just a few seconds, and answered with pleasure, what title is important for the commercial blockbuster.
Because he failed because of "Game 2 of the Brave", he was hesitant to accept "Iron Man" for a few days, and he did not make up his mind until Universal repeatedly persuaded and told him that Adrian was very optimistic about him. Although he didn't expect him to appear in person, it seems good to look like this.
At this point, the generous "Iron Man" is completely decided, and then start shooting immediately? RS
