King of Hollywood Chapter 44: Plan and coincidence

Okay, this is just a joke, how can Adrian make them lose money if they want to work with Universal? Otherwise, it will be a minor blow to the image he currently manages. The reason why the "Shoushenk's Redemption" in the memory is less than 30 million, naturally has nothing to do with the "Forrest Gump" released in the same year, otherwise how will the "Shoushenk's Redemption" be listed as one of the most tragic movies in film history ?

　　 Of course, this has a lot to do with the producer’s lack of publicity. The lack of resources and the lack of focus have led to the box office failing to get much praise during the screening. Fortunately, after receiving several Oscar nominations and having nothing to gain, Columbia was fancy. After its operation, it achieved unprecedented success in the video tape market. This film has occupied the top of the video rental store for a long time.

　　 is now in the hands of Adrian, he can copy the movie almost perfectly, and there is a general manager who is very good at publicity, and there is also Universal participation in it. He should stop doing this.

　　 Having said that, does that movie need to be brought to Universal? When a person was alone in the corner, Adrian suddenly thought of the purpose of coming here to join the party today. According to the data that he can easily recall, the budget seems to be between 50 million and 60 million. The funds Adrian can now be fully obtained, or the company, Claude and his own private one third, since this big cake can There is no need to share it after eating it.

　　 But...Adrian shook his head again. It’s hard to see where the act of eating solitary food is common. Sharing and a win-win situation are the right ways in this age. Moreover, the reason why he chose to develop a relationship with Global, in addition to that person, because in the future, the conflict with Global is minimal.

　　Then again, he still has a lot of profitable scripts. After the big deal, he will compensate for one or two. The cake this time is too big and too tempting... Adrian suddenly laughed and didn’t talk to the person. How to start to think about the latter things properly, do you think these things will be carried out according to your own ideas? Self-confidence is a good thing, but it becomes complacent once it is over, so let it go first.

　　The Adrian who made up his mind adjusted his clothes and was planning to find a place to sit for a while. After glancing at the hall, he was stunned. The person he was waiting for was now talking to a few people by the first window.

　　 "Yes, she is an angel, although there are not many shots, but the appearance of grace and nobility can not be learned by others." With a chin on his chin, Steven Spielberg recalled to his side People said that although wearing suits, that iconic oblate glasses and beards never changed.

　　 "Sorry, excuse me, are you talking about Mrs. Audrey Hepburn, Mr. Spielberg?" A voice suddenly came in, a little bit magnetic, but it was nice.

　　 "Are you?" Spielberg looked at the young man in front unexpectedly.

　　 "Adrian·Kewell." The young man introduced himself, "I am very happy to see you here, Mr. Spielberg. I grew up watching "ET" and "Jaws."

　　 "I am very happy to see you here, young man," Spielberg smiled slightly, and after chanting the name of Adrian several times in his mouth, his eyebrows raised: "It was the ghost director."

　　 "I won the prize," Adrian shrugged. "I just had a different idea and then expressed it through the movie."

　　 "Don't be so humble, young man," Spielberg laughed. "I've seen your "Memento". The idea and editing are really exquisite. You are an idea person."

　　 "I am honored to receive your praise, Mr. Spielberg-ok, Steven, please call me Ed-in fact, sometimes I would like to shoot some childlike works like you. "

　　 "Some things can't be forced, Ed, as long as you know what you want to shoot."

　　Through the common topic of movies, young and old have talked about it, from the "Always" that Spielberg and Audrey collaborated just now, to the Adrian that has not been offline. "Memento" has become their talk. Under the catering of Adrian, which had a lot of information, without traces, the two talked quite speculatively.

　　"Yes, I admit that this movie has been affected by the failure of my parents’ marriage, and the taste of loneliness can be uncomfortable. And... it also has the effect of my marriage failure, especially in the last few months. "" As he said, Spielberg sighed involuntarily and was able to say this to Adrian—although unintentionally—that means he left him a pretty good impression.

　　 "This should seem to be Mrs. Audrey's last movie?" Adrian, which was just collected, did not continue this topic. "I really want to go back to the 50's and see her demeanor with my own eyes."

　　 Spielberg burst out laughing: "Every man probably thinks so, she is really very attractive, no matter what period, she has a kind of unspeakable qualities that make people think Fascinated."

　　 At this moment, he suddenly remembered something and looked at the time, then apologized to Adrian to open his hand: "Sorry, Ed, I have to leave, I have other things, I am happy to chat with you."

　　 "Me too, Steven." Adrian nodded, and before Spielberg stepped in, he made a look that suddenly reminded him of something, and said: "Yes, Steven, there is a movie that doesn’t Know if you are interested."

　　 "A movie?" The eyes behind the oblate lenses narrowed slightly, and the film director Spielberg instantly became a businessman Spielberg-someone in the previous life commented that the big director was, picked up the camera It is a director, and the businessman who put down the camera is a businessman. Adrian agrees with this evaluation.

　　 "Yes, a movie based on science fiction is very imaginative." Adrian's eyes did not blink.

　　 Spielberg thought about it, took out his business card from the jacket pocket of the suit and handed it to Adrian: "Well, wait for a call to my assistant on Monday, he will arrange a meeting time for you. "

　　 "Thank you." Adrian took it over and watched Spielberg disappear at the main entrance of the hall.

　　 "That's why you asked to cooperate with Universal?" Laffern didn't know when he came behind him.

　　 "Yes, he is one of the few people who can control that science fiction movie excellently, not to mention..." Adrian watched his general manager didn't go on, he knew that La Verne knew what he meant .

　　 It’s just...I seem to be a little bit anxious? Adrian smashed his mouth and looked at the business card in his hand. Forget it, no matter how much, there is still an ace in hand, I believe that Spielberg should not be a problem.

　　 "I left first, Laffer." Adrian greeted Laffern and walked to the gate. His purpose has been achieved and there is no need to stay here.

　　 walked to the elevator, Adrian pressed the button and began to wait. The elevator came a few minutes later, and as he entered and pressed the floor of the lobby, a hurried voice suddenly passed through: "Wait!"

　　 A big hand blocked the closing elevator door, and then a white man walked in angrily. He looked between 35 and 45, with a beard, a frown, and a rough look. .

　　 Another white man then hurried in: "Don’t be so impulsive, James, you are really rude."

　　 There was a bitter smile on his face. Apparently the first man had caused him a lot of trouble just now.

　　 "I'm very restrained, Wendell, I really can't stay inside anymore," the man named James waved his fists in exasperation, "It's unbearable to hear what they have said! "

　　 "Oh shit, why don't you think about what you are asking for!" Wendell clutched his hair painfully. "The investment has accumulated to 100 million dollars, James! How many movies have 100 million dollars in investment?! You have already set a record in Hollywood, and you should be content!"

　　 "You should have seen the clip I specially made, isn't it? The picture of T-1000 coming out of the flames," James said excitedly, "You think it's shocking, right? Do you think that Very exciting, right?! But, I can tell you, Wendell, as long as there is another 10 million investment, I will make the whole movie more shocking and exciting!"

　　 Wendell smiled and shook his head bitterly: "No one will invest again, James, you should know what it means for a total investment of $100 million~IndoMTL.com~ No one will take this risk."

　　James is silent. In fact, he also knows this, but he is not willing to accept it.

　　 "Okay, James, that’s it. Take advantage of the remaining two weeks. Even if you don’t reach the perfection in your heart, I believe "Terminator 2" will still be a wonderful movie."

　　 "I know, Wendell, I'm just a little unwilling." James said with a sigh over his forehead.

　　 At this time, another voice sounded in the elevator: "If it is only 10 million US dollars, I may be able to invest."

　　 The two were stunned for a while, only to realize that there were others in the elevator. Although embarrassed, James coughed and looked at the other party: "Sorry, because we were a little excited because of what happened before, so we didn't pay attention. May I ask you?"

　　 "Adrian·Kewell," the young man in the corner reached out and looked very educated with a light smile, "Nice to meet you, Mr. James Cameron."

　　 "Do you know me?" and James holding his hand raised an eyebrow.

　　 "If the director of "Terminator 2" is not James Cameron, then there is no need to make it." Adrian smiled slightly, "Frankly speaking, I have waited for the sequel for 7 years."

　　James couldn’t help laughing, and followed him to think of something: “Adrian·Kewell? You are the ghost director.”

　　 "I won the prize, but I have some ideas in the movie." Adrian still maintains his calmness.

　　 "That's pretty good, most directors will only follow the established procedures according to the established procedures." James waved his hands dismissively and followed him eagerly. "You just said you can make additional investment?!" "
