King of Hollywood Chapter 8: Somewhat strange

As the unprecedented "Spider-Man" became the first movie to break the 100 million in the first week, and swept away 400 million box office in North America within two months, Marvel comics immediately became hot, several major movies The companies all turned their eyes on them as if they saw the gold mine, and more companies threw their feet away because of the act of abandoning the right of adaptation in a series of copyright recovery actions after the acquisition by the media. Sony is one of them. . {yd/m first text}

Even so, they still hope to get a slice of the pie from surprise. This is not impossible. After all, surprise is not like it. It was acquired by Warner in the 1970s, plus various factors, Superman series and Batman. The series is exclusively owned by them. But Marvel has always liked luàn selling corners. It is common for a superhero to buy a few. Although the media began to find ways to recover the copyright after winning the marvel, it also achieved very good results, but it will inevitably leave some thousand threads. Tens of thousands of relationships are also a troublesome thing to whisper, not self-interest but harm.

Adrian also knows this. He doesn’t mind sharing it with others, but he has to show his sincerity first. If there is no satisfactory price, he would like to get a corner from the media. Counting them, there are several old-fashioned movie companies that can really participate in the production of nearly 100 million investment, and among them, Warner Brothers has it, naturally, don’t think about it; Disney’s route and positioning are different from surprises, and can also be excluded; It is difficult to protect Gao Mei, so go back and hold the gold signboard 007 to continue to find a way.

So, it’s only Pella méng, Sony-Columbia, Fox and its four global companies that are competing for it, how about the conditions? It is for this reason that in January, Adrian made people announce the preparations for the "X-Men". In cooperation with other film companies. However, inside Marvel, although excited by the success of "Spider-Man", he has doubts about Adrian's proposal to make "X-Men" into a huge series. So there is today's meeting, of course. They just hope that Miracle Director can explain the whole plan in detail.

"We all know that the power system of a surprised superhero is very good. In fact, all superhero comics with a series are like this, so there is a parallel universe. The stories that occur in different universes are also different and change. The world of villains Superman and Batman, and Luther and the Joker representing justice and their confrontation; and surprise also has the early death of Dr. X, and Magneto inherits his legacy to create the world of mutant schools. These parallel universes are What you admit." After talking about the "Avengers", Adrian immediately began to talk about the "X-Men", and surprised that although this group of people's appetite was hung up, they still listened carefully to suppress their emotions. With.

“Although technology is advancing. bī really cg animation can make many scenes that only existed in the past appear on the big screen, there are still many things that can only exist in comics, unless there is unlimited investment. But The profit of all movies has a peak, and the miracle of "Titanic" also appears at most once or twice. Therefore, it is very necessary to make a setting for the X-Men that is made into a movie and the superhero of the entire Marvel Comics. For example For example, Dr. X and Magneto are friends, but because of different ideas, they have embarked on two completely opposite paths. In the comics, we have enough space to describe their conflicts and feelings, but the movie is only 2 to 3 hours. Increasing drama conflict is very necessary, for example, Dr. X will be paralyzed because he parted ways with Magneto. He wanted to prevent him from being injured by Magneto when he retaliated against someone who wanted to kill him." Adrian continued to talk eloquently .

Yes, the final idea came from "X-Men: Lesson One". In fact, he gave basic ideas based on "X-Men: Lesson One". As far as the setting of the movie is concerned, "X-Men: First Lesson" is basically self-consistent. And it also highlights the relationship between Dr. X and Magneto...how to say, according to the online comments of the previous life...love each other...well, this is very nonsense, but in terms of drama tension, such a result undoubtedly makes people vivid memory.

In any case, Adrian always insists that a good movie must have a good story, so he threw out the outline of the trilogy based on "X-Men: Lesson One". Of course, a very simple outline. Stan Lee, Bob Harris, and other talents know how to build a surprising universe.

"The whole "X-Men" cannot be filmed forever, as higher and higher budgets will overwhelm us, so we must first set up a complete universe suitable for filmmaking, and then describe a three on this The part-I will let the film writers participate-the three stories must both be completed and connected to each other, and finally have a relatively clear ending. Update and then, the popular corner sè must have its own relatively complete story After the trilogy, we can also make related stories for these characters separately. In short, I can fully cooperate with other film companies to make "X-Men" into a series, as long as the overall image rights are in our hands. "" Adrian said so.

To put it bluntly, it was his previous set, which was to let the game company perfect various settings from the beginning when producing "Resident Evil", "World of Warcraft", "Tomb Raider"-even if it may never be used in the future ——The film version of "Resident Evil" that has been filmed and got a good box office, as well as the film version of "Tomb Raider" that will start production.

There is no doubt that the Adrian setting has been supported by surprise. Since it was said by the director of miracles, it is definitely no problem.

"I like your idea, Ed, very good." After the meeting, old man Stan Lee said to Adrian, of course, he not only wanted to say hello, but also shouldered the heavy responsibility given by others.

"Oh, you seem to have mentioned "Avengers" before, right?" He asked immediately.

"Did I ever say that?" Adrian asked wěn in amazement, knowing that the old man had a choked expression before laughing again.

"Don’t worry, Stan, let’s finish the "X-Men" series first, and a "Spider-Man" has not yet fully stabilized its amazing position. But you can really plan for "Avengers" . We have enough time to prepare, and I believe that the "Avengers" created by jīng will be very popular." He finally said.

Adrian has never spit out a bit of his own views on "The Avengers". The surprised seniors had to do their own research, but this is also an exciting thing. Think about it, let the amazing superheroes gather together and appear on the big screen at the same time, it can definitely crush those guys.

However, even so. It will take a long time to make it. Don’t look at the popular “Avengers” in Adrian’s memory. Without the accumulation of propaganda for Marvel Comics in the past decade, this is simply impossible. Amazed that the top executives should be able to see this, so don’t worry about them becoming more advanced, it’s just that the members of Avengers may change, after all. The copyright of superheroes is now in the hands of wonder.

After communicating with the Marvel Supervisor about the "X-Men", although there are still some things not decided, such as which film company to work with, and possible suitable actors. But Adrian immediately set off for London. Other film companies will go to mén on their own, and the initiative is in the hands of the media. As for the actors, the complete script has not yet come out. Besides, Adrian has already set a few in mind.

There are also many things in London. For example, in the filming of "Sensitivity and Emotion", director West Méng? Longton is an Englishman, perhaps not as good as Ang Lee in detail. But he has experience directing films based on Jane Oscar's novels, and his reputation is not bad. So don't worry that he will handle it very badly. Besides, there is Adrian.

Of course. Blanchett and Gwyneth also gave him a surprise. Poor Eleanor and Sister Mariana had nowhere to stay after being driven out of the manor, and were fancy and designed by the evil businessman Adrian from the United States. After the trap fell into his hands and suffered humiliation?

"This is indeed a pleasant surprise, a wonderful surprise." Jī said after lying on the chuáng, with arms around Blanchett and Gwyneth Adrian said with satisfaction.

They interpreted the two corners of the sister of restraint and enthusiasm, both on the set and chuáng, especially Blanchett’s bite mouth chún did not want to make a noise, But still can not help but whisper yín, hún in the eyes combined with the expression of resentment and longing made Adrian very impressed and "xìng" soared-even knowing that she is performing.

From this point of view, Blanchett is really better than Gwyneth in acting, so that in order to appreciate her appearance, Adrian makes her stay high and low for a while. Don't shake her and ask her to send her to the cloud.

"I just hope that Mr. Adrian will treat my sister a little better." Wen Cun said, Blanche, who was holding his neck.

Gwyneth, who was lying on his mouth, looked up, looking at him hopefully.

"Your feelings are really good," Adrian smiled meaningfully, playing with their softness, "Don't worry, I always have arrangements."

Should I say that the two of them have a good relationship, or that Blanchett was bought by Gwyneth? There are probably both, after all, Blanchett has already won the best nv protagonist, but Gwyneth is really anxious.

Unfortunately, Liv Tyler is not here. She returned to the United States the day before yesterday and happened to miss Adrian, otherwise it will definitely be more interesting here. The power of habit is powerful, just like Gwyneth and Blanchett, Liv Tyler also has to get used to it quickly, not to mention that both of them also like her very much. According to Gwyneth, they three They have also had a great time.

It doesn't matter, anyway, Liv Tyler can't run away. It's good to have Gwyneth and Blanchett around. The only regret is that Blanchett's belly still hasn't moved. In this regard, Adrian is puzzled. Is it really necessary to wait until December to get pregnant? Well, it doesn't matter, as long as you persevere, you will always be successful. Even if it is really until December, it is only a matter of time, but it must not happen again.

In addition to going to the "Sensitivity and Feelings" studio, Adrian has other things in London. At the same time, it is also concerned about the situation in Los Angeles, and then got a not so good news.

"Universal Music's share price bō is very abnormal." Claude said to him on the phone.

"What does it mean to be very abnormal?" Adrian is a bit strange, "Are you trying to say that someone sniped us?"

"I'm not sure, maybe it's just a coincidence. I'm not sure that anything can happen in the financial markets." Claude sighed.

"So what are you going to do?" Adrian asked.

"Of course, the invitation was made in advance. We are ready, and we have talked with several of the minority shareholders of Universal Music. A little bit in advance will not affect too much." Claude seemed very relaxed.

"Okay, be careful, I am determined to get Universal Music." Adrian finally said this.

It sounds strange, but it is as Claude said. Anything can happen in the financial market, or it’s up to the professionals to deal with it. So Adrian left it behind and went to another nv's house.

"You should have read the script of "Robbery Tomb mí 2", which is no worse than the first one, so this year you can put most of your effort on it. In addition, I also prepared a weighty one in the second half of the year. The corner is for you, adapted from a British novel published in 1996. But you may need to gain some weight." In the bright living room of Rachel , Adrian sitting on the sofa with tuǐ said.

"Yes, I have read the script, as long as the crew informs. I will report, just..." Rachel carried his back to him, wearing a silk U-neck shirt and a long tutu, the curve is very good , "I want to take a rest in the second half of the year, I want to play some stage plays in London, maybe you can give them to others."

As soon as she finished talking, she was suddenly pulled over. Then it was pressed against the wall and made a muffled noise. Adrian rested on her forehead and pinched her face. The corner of the mouth is slightly upturned.

"You don't seem to understand, Rachel . I'm asking you!" Adrian stared at her and said softly.

"Sorry...I'm sorry..." Rachel 's breath suddenly became rapid, and the body began to tremble slightly, looking at him with a timid eye, but there was a trace of abnormal cháo red on his face.

"I don't want to have another time, understand?" Adrian asked.

"Ming...Understood..." Méng's beautiful eyes were covered with mist.

"But now, you have to pay for your words and deeds." Adrian said, letting go of her.

Cháo's blushing Rachel came to the coffee table immediately, his hands propped on the glass and tilted his tún part, and the rounded arc was perfectly displayed by the tightly attached tuǐkù. With a snap, Adrian slammed heavily, and Rachel hummed suddenly, his cheeks turned red, and his expression became erratic.

Rachel in this state is the most mí person, especially compared with her usual temperament, which is one of the reasons why Adrian likes her.

However, whether it's Gwyneth, Blanchett or Rachel , it's just a small chae song from Adrian to London. The most important and important thing is to go to the set of "Harry bōte".

"Frankly speaking, Ed, this is not an easy job. From the start of shooting to the present, in more than two months, we have gone to at least a dozen places to film." In a studio built outside London Chris Columbus said to Adrian with some complaints.

It’s no wonder that he will express such emotions that the entire "Harry bō special" crew has searched the entire Britain for those scenes that match the description of the novel. Many times, many real scenes can be combined into a novel. One, such as Hogwarts, includes Durham Cathedral, Oxford’s bō Delin Library, Alnwick Castle and many other locations.

And these are not old buildings or busy occasions, not to say that you can shoot if you want to shoot. In addition, although the "Child Labor Law" has been revised, it is still impossible for young actors to insist on shooting like adults. And the story is so long, even if there is a script approved by Rowling, the director must choose according to his own judgment in the actual directing, and this choice must be approved by Rowling, so the progress is very slow, it is estimated that at least after the summer vacation can be completed .

"Don't listen to him, Ed, Chris doesn't know how excited he is once he picks up the guide tube." Rowling said at the side, and Chris laughed suddenly.

After the release of last year's "Harry Bōte and Prisoner of Azkaban" during the summer vacation, even if the entire series is completely popular all over the world, Columbus is naturally very happy to be able to direct the first film version of such a series of novels. .

"Of course I know, but let him complain, and letting go of it is easier to put jīng force on the director." Adrian smiled and patted Columbus on the shoulder.

He is indeed a conscientious director. He moved his family to London for this movie. Several of his children also came to the movie to visit Hogwarts students.

"That's great~ IndoMTL.com~ I will vent all your grievances later." Columbus said immediately.

"No problem, as long as I am here." Adrian smiled, then turned to Rowling, "how, Joe, many people can't wait to see the fourth part."

"Relax, Ed, I will write it on time." Rowling said with a smile, "I estimate that this will be the longest in the entire series, and perhaps the most colorful."

With the hot sale of the series, she is no longer what she looked like, she looks radiant, as if she has recovered her youth and vitality, and the whole person is much more beautiful.

"It’s great, then I look forward to the final draft day." Although I know the general content of the story-the entire series has not changed greatly because of his chā hand-Adrian still said so In a word, from the overall point of view, "Goblet of Fire" is indeed very colorful.

When he still wanted to say something, little tuǐ suddenly felt a pain and turned around. Little Emma was wearing a Hogwarts school uniform, embracing her arms, wearing a máo hairy wig, tǐōng looked up. For him, the proud look was free when Hermione came out of the book, and little Emma hid behind her with one hand covering her mouth and eating and laughing.
