King of Hollywood Chapter 6: The next goal is Miramax

The next goal in Chapter 6 is Miramax

Strangely shaped trees stand around, and the interlaced branches create a scene that looks a bit weird. If the surroundings are quiet and picturesque, the light is dim, even if a bold person walks on it, there will be a cold neck Felt.

However, if you think that this is a forest with strange scenery, it is a big mistake. This is Studio No.7. Everything here is artificial and used for filming. There is no such a weird place in the real forest, or in the real forest, such weird places are in rare places, and even professional climbers are difficult to reach, let alone film crews. Basically, the style is as weird as "Broken Valley", and the story was born in the 8th century. The crew will not go to the forest for on-site framing. Generally, they are part of the scene and netbsp; "Lights, the lights are stronger, I need The environment is darker, and there is a weird atmosphere, which is obviously not enough now." Burton of the crowd clapped and said, with a disheveled head and clothes dressed casually, it looks more like it just came out of the poor kiln. The wanderer, not a famous director.

Each director has his own style, such as Cameron, who also did not trim the edges when shooting, but no one can beat the momentum on the set; and Jonathan Demi, always dressed neatly on the set, is an actor again and again. They talked about the drama, and when necessary, they also spoke in a harsh tone; Michael Bay likes to be in the studio with the actors, which looks very close to the people. Of course, this is mainly because he does not have the right temper now.

So Burton now looks a little sloppy, and it’s understandable when he directs the filming to be gentle and without courage-these are superficial phenomena. If they are really uncharismatic and courageous, how can these guys listen to him?

In short, Adrian only needs to see a satisfactory result, and the process does not need to care. He has already watched the filming of the film. Although it is still rough, it is basically consistent with what he thinks. As a director and producer, he has produced several movies. This is still a judgment.

"Honestly, you are dressed very well, have a classic temperament, plus a little Gothic style, there is a mysterious appeal." Adrian said looking at Johnny Depp, the other party dressed in the 8th century fashion Clothing, a black coat wrapped around the whole body, and the white shirt inside revealed vaguely, indeed a little handsome.

"Thank you." Depp smiled. Although Adrian rescued Rui Fan last Halloween, it was not known by the media, but Rui Fan’s friends, such as Reeves and Depp, are very clear. . Especially Depp, after knowing that he was afraid, if Rui Fan really died outside his club, no matter who was a huge blow to him, so he has a certain change in the senses of Adrian.

"Maybe you can try to play more roles in this area, which should be helpful to you." Adrian watched him rubbing his chin, a thoughtful look.

"Let’s talk later." Depp said with a shrug of his shoulders. Although his perception of Adrian has changed, it does not mean that there is no barriers. The slightly suggestive words are simply ignored. .

Adrian didn’t say much and smiled, and then turned to look at the beautiful **** the other side: "Look, what did I say, Liv Tyler? Such a dress is very suitable for you, isn't it?"

"Not bad." Liv Tyler said with a smile, she wore a light green lace dress with a little lace in the 8th century, a black and soft long waterfall hung down, and the blue eyes flashed a little bit of light, which seemed extremely incomparable. Beautiful and refined.

This character is indeed very suitable for her. Burton has previously praised the image of Liv Tyler and the characters in the story. It is a match made in heaven. The only trouble is that she is a little taller, about 5 feet o inches, which is missing. A petite feeling of pity. However, the Liv Tyler, which is only 6 years old, makes up for it in terms of purity, especially the blue eyes that have not changed because of life and work, making her look particularly pure, plus the Depp who plays is also 6 feet. Height, so this trouble did not become a big problem in the end.

"Oh, Ed, can I talk to you in private?" Liv Tyler said suddenly. The Adrian, which was about to leave, raised his eyebrows in surprise. After glancing at Depp, he nodded and agreed. : "No problem."

Depending on frowning, Depu didn't speak, but happily greeted and left. Liv Tyler immediately took Adrian's arm and walked intimately behind the scene. Going behind a tall set of planks, Liv Tyler turned around to look at the probe, and then exhaled with his tongue out, which looked very cute.

"Did something go wrong?" Adrian asked.

"No, it's nothing." Liv Tyler waved his hands busy, but the complacent expression on his face didn't have time to disperse. Adrian, who guessed something, didn't point it out, just asked: "So, what do you want to do Want to tell me, Liv Tyler?"

"Um..." The girl who apparently made a temporary move rolled her eyes and then thought of a topic, "I want to thank you for giving me this opportunity, Ed. Whether it’s mom, friend, or Mr. Burton, Think this role is very suitable for me."

"Nothing, this script originally had you as the character, and then the whole story. If it doesn't fit you, then I won't be a screenwriter again." Adrian shrugged and said in a shameless manner.

Liv Tyler blinked and didn’t know what came to mind, and suddenly turned to Adrian, showing a sweet and innocent smile: "No matter what, I should express my thanks, so..."

Not finished yet, she grinned over and touched gently on the mouth of Adrian. Adrian raised his eyebrows again in surprise and touched his mouth before saying: "It's a surprising way of thanking, but can I respond to your thanks."

"If you want...of course." Liv Tyler's smile became a little more subtle, and the feeling of not caring about it came up again.

Is this seduce me? Adrian's eyes narrowed slightly, and she remembered that when she saw Depp chatting with her before, her tepid attitude was the one she had just given birth to. He immediately grabbed the girl's face and kissed her ruddy lips, then pried open her teeth without any effort.

Liv Tyler suddenly opened his eyes, his hands rested on the shoulders of Adrian involuntarily, and the small tongue began to subconsciously want to push out the foreign objects that suddenly entered, but after a few times, he began to become compliant. As the other party's rhythm lingered and fiddled, after kissing for a few seconds, the two talents separated, and the girl with blurred eyes crawled softly on Adrian, and a long sigh came from her throat.

"Hey, it's not polite" after gasping for two times, the Liv Tyler, who had come back, pushed the Adrian abruptly, but in the tone of the voice, he was flirting, and two groups of lightness had flown on the beautiful face. The blush of her, plus her 8th-century lady costume, has a unique style.

"I asked you, you said it could be like this." Adrian looks innocent.

Liv Tyler snorted, raised his arms and muttered, and looked very cute: "I haven’t said that, I mean if you want to, I can respond to my gratitude, but didn’t say I can do this in the past"

Nevertheless, the feeling of not caring about anything has not subsided. Adrian couldn't help but smile slightly. He seemed to touch the idea of ​​the girl in front of him.

"So what do you think I should do? Hold a party? You run away early every time. Or ask you to go out? I don't think Ms. Bibi will agree, and before..." Adrian blinked and did not Let's go on.

"That was rejected because I felt inappropriate." Liv Tyler said in excuse.

"Yeah, even you feel inappropriate." Adrian raised his hands. "Okay, that's it. It looks like the shooting is going to continue. Let's hurry over and don't worry Tim."

Talking about Liv Tyler's shoulder and walking towards the scene, Liv Tyler followed a few steps, and suddenly looked up to Adrian: "Well, then give you a chance, how about we go on a date?"

"We are dating?" Adrian raised an eyebrow. "Are you sure, Liv Tyler? Your mother may not agree."

"My mother is my mother," Liv Tyler said eagerly, looking at Adrian provocatively and curiously. "What I want to do, does not necessarily require the consent of my mother."

"That's right," Adrian touched his chin. "I only stayed in Los Angeles for a few days. I'm going back to Alabama soon to continue shooting new movies, so I won't wait until I finish my work there."

"No problem," Liv Tyler agreed without thinking, "I will wait for your call."

As she said, she ran away with a grin, and the figure with the skirt was really elegant. After a few steps, she turned around and made a gesture of listening to the phone by raising her hand to the ear to Adrian.

"Funny girl." Adrian murmured, and after saying hello to Burton and Depp, he left the studio of "Broken Valley". He came here, first to understand the shooting situation, and then to see how Liv Tyler is, in order to let her have a brilliant debut * female works, but spent a lot of time in the memory selection.

Since there is no problem in shooting, Burton did everything well. Besides, Adrian also promised not to interfere with the specific shooting situation. And unexpectedly let Liv Tyler agree to the appointment, then naturally he should leave, to know that he still has a lot of things to deal with, as Charlize said, the schedule of these days must be very full.

"Summer is also the harvest season." Adrian sitting in the car murmured so much that there were more than one appointment after returning from Alabama. Charliez, who was closing the door of the car, also heard this sentence, frowned, but only sighed. She naturally knew the purpose of Adrian to the "Broken Valley" set, so she guessed why he said This sentence.

"Let's go to lunch now, and then back to the club." Adrian, who saw this expression in his eyes, smiled and shook his head, then greeted Glover to drive, and the phone in his arms rang again.

"Hey, Crow, I was just lamenting that summer is also the harvest season, and then you will call, I think it must be good news." Adrian said with some surprise, the call was from Claude, On the progress of the latest acquisition.

"I have no opinion, if you think this company is beneficial, then do it, but I want to remind you that after this arrangement, you must consider Laffern's position." After listening to the general situation, he continued With that said, "Yes, he is certainly worth it, as long as you don't write empty cheques like Paramount's original...well, then so be it."

After turning off the phone, Adrian exhaled, and a hint of playful smile appeared in the corner of his mouth. Claude began to let go of his hands and feet, which is a good thing. With the integration of TBs completed, Claude shifted his goals to other places. After several selections and asked the opinions of Adrian, he chose Miramax.

Yes, that's the one that has been separated from the honor of operating an independent film because of the appearance of Adrian. The film company founded by the Weinstein brothers in the era has a good qualification in Hollywood. Although Bosworth currently divides some of its original things, it is still an independent film company that cannot be underestimated.

Since last year, Dinis has been talking to them about mergers and acquisitions, but the Weinstein brothers want to maintain the company’s independent operating rights, plus the cooperation between the emerging media and Viacom and the acquisition of TBs. The action attracted Disney's attention, so it has not been negotiated until now.

Claude therefore took aim at Miramax. He is no longer a young man who didn't know much about the media industry a few years ago, and has his own supplements and expansions to good plans to discuss with Adrian. Originally, only one Bosworth Films was going back, but as TBs was taken into the bag, the new line previously acquired by TBs also became a subsidiary of Media, so he came up with the idea of ​​integrating movie companies.

"Bosworth is responsible for investing in more vicious production and production, the new line is responsible for co-production with other companies, and Miramax produces and produces small-cost independent films and art films." Claude was So to Adrian.

Adrian has no reason to disagree. Claude’s ideas coincide with his original plan. It was just that the new line was prepared for the co-production. Bosworth was responsible for the arts and small-cost independent movies. The big production had other choices. Before that, the new line and the Bosworth took turns.

The acquisition of Miramax will not have much impact. As long as the concept of Adrian is successfully realized, Bosworth can only make movies such as investment lines. Besides, Miramax also has five or six film libraries, plus the new line and Bosworth, at least not in the number of large companies.

But there are two problems that need to be solved here. The first is Disney's attitude. With Michael Eisner's arbitrariness, it will certainly not tolerate the media's intrigue. After all, they have been negotiating for so long.

But Adrian is not too worried. First of all, as far as the current situation is concerned, Miramax is optional. It is good to get it, and it is not bad to get it. Second, the two brothers of Weinstein They are all characters who demand money. Remember that someone once described these two guys as the kind of characters who can jump to the bar as long as they have enough money.

The media is not short of funds now, because of the good operation when acquiring TBs, plus the situation that Adrian created for Claude, it only cost 5.5 billion in the end, and Miramax is worth up to 100 million US dollars. What's more, after the negotiation between Claude and Adrian, they all agreed that they can retain the independent management rights of Miramax, and Michael Eisner, the tyrant who likes to control everything, will not compromise unless forced.

The second problem is that Laffern’s status must be reconsidered. If the successful acquisition of Miramax, this old independent film company will undoubtedly make it more suitable for the production of entertainment and small-cost independent films, and The public relations capabilities of the Weinstein brothers, combined with the resources the media can now provide, are definitely much stronger than Lavern. Lavern can win so many nominations and awards, and the films produced by Adrian have played a lot of roles.

But it’s not that Lavern’s abilities are inadequate. Even if the quality of the movie is not good, he can’t win anything. It’s just that the Weinstein brothers are more powerful. The movie won the nominated character.

In spite of this, after all, Lavern has made great contributions. If it weren’t for him, even if there were Adrian, Bosworth Films wouldn’t have such an exhibition now, so it’s still necessary to get enveloped.

Of course, the premise of all this is the successful acquisition of Miramax~IndoMTL.com~ So after sighing again "Summer is also the season of harvest", Adrian left it behind.

After having lunch in an Italian restaurant, Adrian and Charlize had a meeting nearby. By the way, they exchanged arrangements for the next few days, and then returned to Fitch Club by car. Seeing that there was still a while before the appointed time, Adrian found a room to take a nap, and then sat down on the sand in the hall full of energy and waited.

Soon, a young girl and her female agent appeared at the entrance of the hall under the leadership of Roger. A golden reddish show sagged softly. Although her face was a little square, she also had a little freckles. But it looks beautiful and beautiful; wearing a black and decent dress just over the knee, plus a silk jacket of the same color, and a pair of women's pointed leather shoes on the feet, don't have a **** appeal in it.

"Hi, Ed, we finally meet again." The girl came to Adrian in a few steps, stretched out her hand with a smile, and a different expression flashed in the gray-green eyes.

"Yeah, I'm so glad to see you again, Gwyneth." Adrian stood up and shook hands with Gwyneth Paltrow with the same smile.
