King of Hollywood Chapter 47: Leave things to professionals

"The rest is your sole responsibility. I only need Tim Robbins to play the lead actor Andy, Morgan Freeman to star the leading actor Reid, and Bob Gunton to star the second supporting wardens. Norton, that’s all. Is there any problem?” said Adrian, who was sitting in the front of the meeting room, flipped through the folder in front of him.

　　 The head of the department in the meeting room where people sat looked at each other without talking. After a few minutes, the manager of the planning department nodded: "Understood, Mr. Adrian, we will try our best..."

　　 "I don't need to do my best, I need to be sure, understand?" Adrian interrupted him.

　　 "Yes, sir, we must." The manager immediately changed his mouth.

　　 "Just like that, Laffern stays, others can leave." Adrian gestured.

　　After these people in charge were out of the meeting room, Adrian looked at Lavern sitting on his left hand: "Do you have anything to say to me, Laffer?"

　　 "Yes, some things about recent investment, but I think you will definitely stick to your opinion, don't you?" Lavern shrugged, apparently already surprised by Adrian's approach.

　　 "You are my general manager, Laffer, so just say anything. I will be happy to answer all your questions, which is good for us." Adrian said quickly.

　　 "Understood," Laffern nodded. "I think the company has recently carried out too many projects at the same time, and the amount of investment is too large. This is too risky, and you will fall into a serious loss if you are not careful .Although I know that you have sufficient funds, the loss is not a good thing after all."

　　 "So, what are you going to do?" Adrian looked at him resignedly.

　　 "What else can you do, you are the boss, you have made a decision," Lafferne sighed, "Only hope that the box office of "Memento" will be higher, and then "Jurassic Park" begins The preparation time can be later."

　　Adrian laughed, he heard the complaint in the other party’s words: "Okay, don’t worry, Laffern, although the mid-term box office of "Memento" is not good, but it is now picking up. It has been estimated that it will not be too different from "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels". After the release of "Terminator 2" in July, the previous investment of 10 million can be gradually returned. At this time, Steven must have finished his work, so "Jurassic Park" will have to wait until August or September at the latest, and this time my "Shoushenk's Salvation" should be almost completed, just right, isn't it?"

　　 "What you said is based on everything going smoothly, Ed." Laffern said bluntly, "especially at the box office of "Terminator 2", you never seem to think it will lose money. Yes, I admit that the first episode of "Terminator" has cultivated many fans, and I also believe that James Cameron can make the second episode better than the first episode, but its total investment of 110 million US dollars is too large. By the way, even if the box office is good, we can keep the cost at most."

　　 "What if the global box office is over 400 million?" Adrian asked casually.

　　 Laffern was stunned for a while, and smiled bitterly without speaking. If the global box office really gets 400 million US dollars, the company can naturally make a lot of money. How many movies can get such a high box office in the global market? And once the overseas market dominates, more will be allocated, and it will still be a question of whether the capital can be preserved.

　　 "I know you may not believe it, Laffer, but I never doubt my vision." Adrian opened his hand at this time, if he was not worried about certain issues, he just said 500 million instead of approaching 400 million. .

　　 "I'm optimistic about James Cameron. I can be sure that he will bring us hundreds of times of benefits in the future." Although Adrian said vowedly, it did not make the bitter laughter of Ravenn's mouth disappear.

　　 So after thinking for a few minutes, he suddenly changed the subject: "Before, I had asked you to buy a foreign movie and the adaptation rights of two novels, how is it now?"

　　 "Well..." Although I don’t understand why Adrian mentioned this, Lavern still gave the answer after thinking about it, "There will be no problem in Italy. King’s College of Cambridge University has not yet given a reply, but I believe that There won’t be too much trouble. The main thing is Ms. Anne Rice, who doesn’t seem to intend to hand over her novel to us.”

　　 "Do you have any suggestions?" Adrian asked.

　　 "You know, women are relatively more emotional than men," Laffern thought, "So when lobbying after "Shoushenk's Salvation" is released, the chances of success will be greater. Of course, if If you are in a hurry, I might get it in 80%, but the price may be slightly higher."

　　 "You are really good, Laffer," Adrian clapped his hands. "To be honest, I didn't expect you to get "Shoshenk's Redemption" from Stephen King so quickly."

　　 "Thank you, but I don’t think you’re just going to say this." Raphin asked clearly on his face.

　　"Let’s say that, Laffer, "The Redemption of Shawshank" will be my Oscar ticket for next year, and in the course of next year I will make three movies-not necessarily these three, on The robbery in the restaurant made me have a good idea. In short, in the Oscar of the next year, I will bring a film emperor and a film back to the stage, and I will also be nominated for the best director." Adrian The tone is filled with the taste of whoever wants me, "I can guarantee the quality of the movie and the acting skills of the actors, so the rest..."

　　Although it stopped here, how could Lafern not know what was going on later, his breath suddenly became a little quicker, he reached out and pinched the bridge of his nose and looked at Adrian with unspeakable eyes.

　　 "I never do useless work, every step I take will take into account the countless steps behind, my eyes are on the future, and I believe my own eyes." Adrian put his hands together to make a footnote for this explanation Of course, the last sentence is the focus of his speech, ""Terminator 2" will prove this."

　　 Laffern was silent for a few minutes, and finally nodded: "I see."

　　 "No, you don't understand." The Adrian's bright eyes stared at him, "What I really want to tell you is that I am confident and I have a vision, but no matter how I am just a person, I may be better than others Seeing more things does not mean that I can see everything. So, when you think you should say something, be sure to say it, there may be something that I may not have noticed, this is me Trust in you."

　　The somewhat stunned Laffern finally reacted, and after a long breath he showed a serious look: "Yes, I understand, I don’t listen to you, I say nothing to me."

　　Adrian smiled slightly: "I will stop here today. In addition, after Crow’s integration is completed, you are the CEO of Bosworth Films, and this seat will also be yours."

　　 He said that he patted the chair under him, and said jokingly, "Even if it is me, I have to act on your face."

　　If it was a few minutes ago, Lavern might still be a little excited, but now he just responded to say he knew.

　　 "Oh, Ed," he suddenly thought of something when he was about to get up and leave, "The two reporters who called to visit your reporter, how do you reply to them?"

　　 "This... still refused, anyway, I will start busy with the new movie again." Adrian thought and gave this answer, "I am not a big star, I have the opportunity to say it later."

　　 Actually, he doesn’t mind accepting the interview, although he prefers to stand behind the scenes but since he chose to use the fastest method to accumulate fame and reputation, it is destined to attract a lot of attention. But that is definitely not the case now. The reporters who come to you are only those who are in the small and medium-sized newspapers and media. Because they can't grab star news, they turned to him with a novelty mentality and produced two big-selling movies in a year. The director, hoping to attract some attention, he has absolutely no need to deal with them.

　　The director behind the scenes is no match for the star at the front desk, but at most two years, the major TV stations will rush to invite themselves to do an interview~IndoMTL.com~Adrian shrugged in his heart. Speaking of which he should have an agent, Crow's movements are really slow enough.

　　 Abdominal defamation, Adrian does not really care, Claude has done a very good job. In more than half a month, he has acquired a poorly-run publishing company, and soon handed over the first edition of the "Resident Evil" novel to his hand.

　　 Frankly speaking, the revision is very good. The writer is quite good. Some of the second-rate writers who like to write suspense novels broke out immediately after learning that they can not only add their names to the book but also get royalties. 200% enthusiasm, dedicated to help fill the loopholes of the novel, not to mention read a lot of information, the composition of the T virus is written more like that. Although it can only be regarded as a popular pop novel of second-rate peak, it is enough to attract those travelers to buy a book before boarding the plane-as to whether it is a collection or thrown into the trash can, it doesn't matter. Adrian, after making some comments, wondered whether to send the other two books to the other party for revision.

　　Broker company is also under negotiation. Although the selected broker company is medium in size and the benefits are not bad, it is no problem to win. And Adrian also found several familiar names in the list of actors, directors, producers, etc. of this agent company. I have to say that Claude did a very good job.

　　Leave things to a trusted professional to do it, and don’t interfere with yourself. Adrian has always insisted on this approach. This is one of the reasons why he said so much to Lavern and repeatedly emphasized the word trust.
