King of Hollywood Chapter 5: What I want is 0/0
Everyone in the conference room looked at the same place. It was this person who opened the door to push the responsibility to m records. It was also this person who thought that the head office would support Motola’s plan, and now he thought it was OK Starting from the playboy, this is a middle-aged man in his forties, with a clear Asian appearance, sitting on the right side of Mottola, and at the same time being very cautious, Sam Tanaka, Japanese American , Secretary of the Board of Sony Records
"We all know that since the development of the media, most of the credit for the production of movies and TV is Adrian? Kewell. In addition, according to internal information, the two popular girl idol singers that m picked up are also him. He even participated in the production of several popular songs, and used miracles to describe him as never exaggerating. "Sam? Tanaka talked eloquently," but if I thought he was just like that, it would be wrong, I want to sit Everyone of you should have heard that although the media is at the helm of Claude Ron Reese, the general direction of development is always determined by Adrian?Kewell"
"You also said, this is just heard" Someone said so
"Then have you ever verified?" Tanaka asked immediately, "I was fortunate to have attended a reception hosted by old Ron Reese. He personally admitted that he did not expect the media to develop so quickly, thanks to his pre-teaching period. Well-planned, he also used an example. If Claude Rowris is the left brain of the media, responsible for analysis, calculation, and execution, then Adrian? Kewell is the right brain of the media, responsible for thinking, appreciation, and intuitive impressions. When the two sides are perfectly combined, there will naturally be no disadvantages"
He said that he paused and scanned the meeting room. After everyone digested this sentence, he opened the mouth again: "I think I can get the evaluation of old Ron Rees Adrian? Kewell in the movie In addition to television and music production, there must be other capabilities, otherwise it is impossible to always sit in the position of the chairman of the media board of directors, even if the old Ron Reese is exaggerated, or Adrian? Kewell is elevated by Claude Ron Reese , But he is still the chairman of the board of directors of the media, why can't we start with him?"
"Are you sure you can get the information we want through the woman around Adrian?Kewell, Sam?" Motola asked at this time
"Operability is very high, as I just said Adrian? Kewell is always the chairman of the media board of directors. It is impossible for such an acquisition plan to not notify him, and his good luck is well known," Tanaka did Gestures, "Important, he is different from the average playboy. At least everyone who is seated knows that the average person can handle three women at the same time. It is already very difficult, but there are at least six women who have long-term relationship with Adrian?Kewell. , Seven of these plus the data we usually collect, it is not difficult to infer that Adrian? Kewell is a very narcissistic person, but also a person with a strong desire to control, so the relationship with women should be based on interests."
"You want to say, we told one of the women, Adrian? Kewell can give her, we can also give her?" Another person asked out, with a bit of disdain, "That's better than direct Find a woman to seduce"
"We must carefully consider the candidates" Tanaka has no interface and just looks at Mottola
"I remember, there seems to be a Japanese actress beside Adrian?Kewell," the man said just now, and his tone hasn't changed. "And it seems that when he went to Japan on vacation a few years ago, the head office sent For him"
As soon as this sentence came out, the atmosphere in the meeting room became a little more subtle. Many people looked at Tanaka with unclear eyes. He was a generation of immigrants, and he followed his parents to the United States when he was twelve years old
"If it was a few years ago, this would be a good choice, but now, it is the most stupid choice," Tanaka said quietly.
The other person raised his eyebrows and was about to continue to refute Mottola but inserted it: "Okay, Bill, let’s listen to Sam first"
Then he gestured to Tanaka to signal him to continue. Tanaka owed slightly and said again: "This woman needs to have some minds to weigh the pros and cons, but not to be too mindful. Timid and cautious; she and Adrian? Kewell can't know each other for too long, preferably within half a year, too short, and the relationship with Kewell is not necessarily close, you may not be able to hear anything from his mouth, too deep, not necessarily be We are impressed, and may even disclose the news to Kewell; she must also have certain ambitions, someone who wants to take a step, and restless talents may be wooed"
He said he took a breath and glanced around. Although he was very careful, he still inevitably revealed a little pride: "Meet these conditions above, our chances are very great, and we have other channels. It’s not necessary for her to inquire too much information, it’s enough to reveal a little Kewell’s tone to understand some of his itineraries; and Bill is right, Kewell can give her, we can also give her, do we even Can't a woman hold it? Of course, in order to show our sincerity and to give each other confidence, it is best to have Mr. Mottola come forward to negotiate with the other person"
After looking at him, he looked at Mottola, slightly nervous, and Mottola was silent for a long while before raising his head: "I think you should be chosen, Sam"
"Yes, Mr. Mottola," Tanaka finally couldn't help but show a smile of joy, "I do have a good candidate"
Not to mention Sony’s plans, Adrian encountered a headache that caused him a headache this year. This year’s Oscar nomination list was promulgated relatively early. Just at the beginning of February, the Academy of Films announced that it is basically not much as expected from Adrian. The difference, the American beauty has won several nominations for the best movie, best director, best actor and actress, best original script. Nicole was also praised by the media and declared that it was because he left Cruise and became independent Nicole had a self and exuded a brilliant light. If Cruise saw it, he might tear the newspaper off with anger
By comparison, Sicily’s beautiful legends are more chilly, with only the best movies, best actresses, and... the best photography. Unfortunately, because the investment and production are all American companies, they are even released in Europe. It’s an Italian version but can’t win the nomination for the best foreign language film
But it doesn’t matter. Anyway, the most important thing about making beautiful legends of Sicily is to win the best actress for Monica. It doesn’t matter if you don’t get any other nominations. Last year Adrian won two best director nominations. It is not surprising to consider that the natural thing to do now is to begin to increase public relations efforts. Although Monica’s chances are more than once, this is the most suitable one. The accident that caused him headaches is also happening here
"It's a really troublesome thing" Adrian sighed with his feet on the desk and leaning on the high-back chair, throwing the nomination list into a bang
Although Monica and Nicole nominated the best actress at the same time, the American beauty has also been well received, with a cumulative total of more than 50 million at the box office, but if you say the heroine’s shocking power alone, the card Rowling is not as good as Malian Na’s Adrian racked her brains. The four classic lenses designed for the beautiful legends of Sicily were praised by many people. The method of performing body language alone was also sought after by many people. As one movie critic said, it can almost be Holly Hunter in The Piano is comparable to
So, although Monica’s playing time is not much, it is a well-deserved soul character in the beautiful legend of Sicily, and Nicole is to be divided by Speichery among the American beauties, although they can set off each other. , But the dazzling degree is worse than Monica. Even though the two women are equally beautiful and sexy, the **** that brings pain to Marlena is more attractive than the simple beauty of Rowling
And then with the full support of Adrian, Monica is very likely to win the best actress of this year’s Oscar, if there is no such variable
"Hilary Swank, the boy doesn’t cry, hell, how did you forget this" Adrian tapped his forehead with his finger
The original American beauty's card Rowling is played by Annette Bening, and it is even a bit higher than Nicole, and her husband Warren Beatty is quite popular in Hollywood-yes, is that Woody? Allen wants to be Warren Beatty of his finger-yet lost to an unknown actress: Hilary Swank
As we all know, for the judges of the Film Academy, actresses want to win awards. The more abnormal the role they play, the better. For example, a person with a gender disorder who likes women, wants to become a man and integrate into the society, but is eventually killed. The heroine, but also adapted from real events, is definitely their favorite
At the same time, with the advent of the millennium, the **** rights movement began to flourish. Although not as powerful as a few years later, the mainstream society has always tended to conservative and discriminatory hats. , And there are not a few gays in Hollywood. San Francisco, the **** home base, is further north
The film pleased them, and the quality was not good, but Swank's performance was very eye-catching. This made her awkward image stand out, and it is no wonder that it will be cold.
Adrian doesn’t want to see this result. Isn’t he planning to get a little gold man for Monica for so long? It is definitely not his choice to give in and then find another opportunity, but it is not easy to use public relations to rectify this matter
A knock on the door rang, then Charlize with the folder pushed the door in
"This is Crowe sent by someone, evaluation of the acquisition" she walked over and handed something to him
"Thank you, I will read and reply to him" Adrian nodded and threw the nomination list aside, "You came just right, Charlie, there is something you need to do, give it to me Harvey Weinstein called and asked if he was interested in dining with me at night"
The Hollywood Planet Restaurant is located at 129 Willis Street. The exterior is a water-blue planet. The theme inside is American movies and TV. Rocky, Rambo, Terminator, and Dinosaurs in Jurassic Park. Everything should be there. Going to a photo restaurant was first established in 1991. It has developed into a dozen or so chain stores. Many Hollywood stars have invested, such as Schwarzenegger, or the Willis couple.
Speaking of all, star restaurants are also a tradition in Hollywood. After all, they have no other skills except performing. The restaurants are relatively the best. And they can use their appeal to let fans For example, Schwarzenegger opened a restaurant named n with his wife.
It’s German, which means "baby", "dear", and n means "primary", connected to the dearest baby, think about the big Schwarzenegger, the name of this restaurant can be Schwarzenegger is always good for breakfast in his own restaurant, and his fans will naturally not miss this opportunity
However, most celebrities do not have the time to manage the storefront or lack the management knowledge. For a long time, they will choose to withdraw their funds if there is no benefit. Therefore, the restaurant opens quickly and it will be equally fast. The year is closed, and the Planet Hollywood restaurant also declared bankruptcy last year, but it was soon injected with funds and rejuvenated
Most celebrities often come to these restaurants to celebrate. Although the paparazzi often spin around because of their reputation, the boss is also a celebrity and is also very strict in this regard, so many directors and producers Or film company executives will also come here to dine. This is a place for relationship. After meeting each other, chatting a few words may be who and who will be able to establish a relationship, or negotiate a business, let a star join a certain Movies, and these restaurants are all pictures of movies and stars, the taste of the food is still guaranteed, Adrian invited Weinstein to dinner on Planet Hollywood
“I like the duck meat here. It’s smooth and juicy, oily and not greasy. I come here at least twice a month,” Harvey Weinstein said, putting a thin piece of duck meat in the mouth and chewing Twice, swallowed with an intoxicated expression
He is still the same, with small eyes and stubble, and the flesh on the neck of the big belly is also circled, but the hair on the forehead is much less than before
"It's really good, but I think it's better for you to be more modest. Harvey, if you don't, Hollywood will lose a lot of color." Adrian smiled and sipped the red wine
“Relax, Ed, God doesn’t plan to let me go back to his arms. I’m recovering well. I’m stronger than before.” Weinstein laughed, put down the knife and fork and drank the red wine. "Tell me about your business, you are not asking me to come back, right?"
"Of course" Adrian smiled, "The beautiful legend of Sicily was issued by Miramax, right?"
"What do you want? Best movie?" Weinstein asked immediately, his brain was not turning fast
"No, no, as far as the theme is concerned, American beauty is undoubtedly popular with those old guys" Adrian shrugged, then slowly cut a piece of chicken into the mouth and tasted it before saying: " Best Actress, I want the best actress"
"Wow, I'm so touched," Weinstein exaggerated, and immediately looked at him, "Do I need to do anything? I think your strength should not be a problem?"
"If it was before, it's okay, but this time there is a strong opponent" Adrian is not concealed
"I don't think Nicole Kidman is much better than Monica Bellucci," Weinstein said directly, and then showed a meaningful smile, "More..."
"Not Nicole," Adrian shook his head. "It's the heroine who doesn't cry, Hilary Swank, you know, real case adaptation, abnormal character plus homosexuality, the guy's favorite"
Weinstein recalled it carefully, and then nodded: "It must be admitted that what you said is the truth. I ignored this. It is indeed a trouble, a big trouble"
"So I need someone who can do public relations" Adrian points out the theme, "That can only be you"
"It’s really flattering," Weinstein raised an eyebrow. "But is it late now? The nomination list has been announced"
Once the Oscar nomination list is published, the judges of the Film Academy cannot accept invitations from all parties in private. Although public relations people are pervasive, they can always find ways to contact the judges in a roundabout way. It is not easy to be monitored by the eyes of countless opponents belonging to Shuang
In fact, most of Oscar’s public relations are conducted in peacetime. The judges are invited to participate in various parties and events. It is exaggerated to say that some things have been decided before the nomination list is announced. Weinstein’s in this regard The sense of smell is not generally sensitive. Even Lafone, who used to run Bosworth, must have the support of Adrian to fight with him in court
"I know this is a bit difficult, but..." Adrian raised his glass and raised his head, "You are at your disposal"
Weinstein’s eyes suddenly light up, which is equivalent to saying that this period of time is above this, he can let the media fully cooperate with himself in all aspects, even if only for a period of time, this temptation can not be resisted.
"Really?" He rubbed his hands excitedly, "That's great, if everything comes according to my ideas, then the probability of success is at least 90% or more"
"No, Harvey, I want one hundred percent" Adrian said lightly
"100%...100%?" Weinstein froze, he didn't expect that ~IndoMTL.com~Adrian would value Monica so much
"This is impossible, nothing can be 100% successful," he said
"I know, Harvey, but..." Adrian slightly raised his chin and looked directly at his eyes, "A trilogy with an average investment of 200 million, an average box office in North America of more than 300 million, and an average box office of more than 800 million in the world. , As long as you do it, I will give it to Miramax to operate"
Weinstein immediately closed his mouth and rolled his eyes, he didn’t seem to know how to stand
Adrian laughed: "I know what you are worried about, Harvey, you always wanted to make Miramax bigger and stronger. You wanted to operate some big productions. When you first joined the media, you and What your brother likes is that we don’t have a big film company, which will allow you to get a good development. But after acquiring Universal, you start to worry. We are worried that we will suppress you and let Miramax make way for Universal. This is completely unnecessary. Without you who are determined to make progress, Miramax is not Miramax. Although the resources will be tilted to the world, we will not treat you badly, so I put forward this condition"
He said that he spread his hand, and then added: "Of course, this is worth at least the three best heroines." To be continued
