King of Hollywood

Adrian felt a little regretful, because of Drew, he missed the meeting between Kate and Monica. But it seems that they didn't say anything radical between them, otherwise Kate would not be sitting next to her so calmly now, and would still be interested in paying attention to the dinosaurs on the screen. Her personality is not very flat.

After dealing with Kate for a few words, he scanned the surroundings again, but still did not find Monica. Adrian couldn't help but smiled and shook his head. He must have had his head flooded to find her in this very low-visibility auditorium. people. So after he settled down, he immediately turned his attention back to the movie.

At this time, the plot has moved to the point where Professor Hammond explained the reasons for these achievements to the invited archaeologists and mathematicians in the form of a short film. This once again embodies Spielberg's ingenuity, using animated short films and picture-in-picture methods to simply explain the situation of the dinosaurs clearly—of course, as for the method of copying dinosaurs shown in the film Whether it is feasible is not within Spielberg's consideration. This is a movie and not reality.

Then carnivorous dinosaurs also appeared, but as before, they could only hear the sound but not see the shape - well, the velociraptor hatched from the egg shell is not counted - the child and several professors waited for a long time in the Tyrannosaurus area I can't see it either. However, when the night came, the ensuing storm, and Dr. Hammond's fat son-in-law deliberately cut off the power at the base in order to steal the embryos, and when their tram stopped on the way back, they finally met the huge Tyrannosaurus Rex met.

When the ugly head of the Tyrannosaurus rex appeared on the screen, many people were taken aback, and many ladies let out a low cry. Even Kate, who was sitting next to Adrian, couldn't help but clenched his hand. However, the man who went to the bathroom was the first to die in the mouth of the Tyrannosaurus rex. When he looked at the huge head of the dinosaur tremblingly, the scene where he was finally picked up by one mouthful gave people an inexplicable sense of joy. Many people didn't know whether to be shocked or laugh out loud for a while.

But such a turning point is not against the peace, and it is probably because of this that the movie was rated PG-13. I have to admit that Spielberg has a unique grasp of the lens language.

What followed naturally was chaos, escape, accident, smooth return, etc. Hollywood’s usual routines. Spielberg’s storytelling skills were fully reflected here. For example, when they crossed the power grid, the base was about to recover. The power supply was on but the child didn't dare to come down. It was also at the last second, but he gave people a different feeling. He specially arranged the scene of the little boy being knocked down by the electricity. Of course, he was finally brought back to life. As for the rationality, there is no need to discuss it. After all, this is a movie, and the audience does not want the boy to die.

In short, the constant twists and surprises reached their peak at the end, and the two parties finally converged to leave the island, and at this time the two velociraptors who escaped also chased to the base. After several times of chasing, they finally blocked them in the hall. Just when the audience thought they were going to see a tragic fight, a huge tyrannosaurus rex suddenly rushed in, roared and bit one of the velociraptors. The shocking momentum is worthy of its name.

It wasn't until the subtitles were displayed and the lights in the hall were turned on for a long time that the audience finally came to their senses, and gave unusually warm applause. If "Terminator 2" made people see the charm of pure CG in movies for the first time, then "Jurassic Park" perfectly combines CG and special effects, and it is no wonder that the audience will have such a warm response.

"I can't see any trace of falsehood at all. It's amazing that they can do this." On the way back, a slightly excited Kate kept talking about the dinosaurs in the movie.

"Of course, knowing that Lucas could produce special effects like "Star Wars" in the late 1970s, bringing dinosaurs back to life on the screen is just a piece of cake." Adrian kept echoing without saying anything else.

Because the subsequent press conference had nothing to do with him, he took Kate and left after the show. When he came out, Adrian finally found Monica in the crowd, but he was too far away to say hello. And after Monica saw him, she shrugged with a smile and turned and walked in the opposite direction.

Seeing this, Adrian can only let it go for the time being, at worst, he will make a phone call in a few days, anyway, there is nothing else going on at the moment. Looking at Kate, who was still a little excited, Adrian stepped on the accelerator. Go back as soon as possible, and clean up thoroughly before Kate recovers. When he came out just now, he smelled something else on himself.

"Jurassic Park", which was released in more than 2,000 theaters across the United States on Christmas Eve, greatly shocked the Americans. The realistic dinosaurs combined with special effects and CG were enthusiastically sought after, so it was released in North America within three days. With a box office of close to 49 million, it kicked down the movie that had previously occupied the top of the list.

And the critics who have been paying attention to "Howards End" for more than half a month have finally refocused their attention on commercial blockbusters. Needless to say, they have unanimously praised "Jurassic Park".

"A brilliant film that holds your attention every minute until the end credits and you can't escape the action." - Hollywood Reporter

"The dinosaur created by Industrial Light and Magic is the real star of the film, and it can be called a miracle in today's film industry." - "Empire"

"When the T-Rex roars wildly in the final shot and the signature Jurassic Park curtain falls in front of it, you know it's not Sam Neill or Jeff Brothers. Bren, and that gigantic T-Rex. Although he doesn’t get much in the movie, he steals the show every time he does.” – Variety

This epoch-making movie took only two weeks to get 150 million box office in North America, and then took another two weeks to make the total box office in North America exceed 200 million, becoming the first film at the end of 1992 and 1993. The biggest winner of the most popular movie schedule at the beginning of each year, there is no two in the limelight for a while.

"Remember what I told you? This investment will definitely make a lot of money." Adrian said to Claude in a teasing tone on the phone, "It's too bad that you didn't go to the premiere." Sorry."

Of the total investment of almost 65 million, Universal Pictures, Bosworth Pictures and Media each accounted for one-third. Now it only took four weeks to recover the cost and almost double the profit, which can be regarded as a big profit Earn extra money. Moreover, the popularity is far from subsiding now, and overseas releases have just begun. More importantly, the distribution rights of the film's peripherals have long been in the hands of Adrian.

"Okay, I see. From now on, everything about movies will be completely up to you." Claude replied with a big smile.

Counting "Ghost Horse" and "Pulp Fiction", Bosworth Films has three works with a North American box office of over 100 million this year. Although two of them are only investors, it is a fact that they have made a lot of money. That's why Adrian said that on the phone. Of course, even if it was meant as a reminder, it was more of a joke, after all, the relationship between the two was there.

But this is just the beginning, as time goes by, there will only be more and more cases like this, and then...

After spending Christmas and New Year holidays, visiting his uncle and aunt in New York, visiting Kate's family in London, and staying with Emma for a few days, Adrian returned to Los Angeles and began to relax.

There is no urgent shooting plan to catch up, the whole person suddenly relaxes a lot, and spends more time on other aspects, such as exercising, attending various parties, meeting, often shopping with Kate, and meeting Monica from time to time ——Adrian asked her several times, what did she say to Kate that day, Monica always smiled and didn't answer, and there was always a little complicated ridicule in that smile, as time passed, Adrian didn't bother to ask again.

Other than that, he would occasionally have a movie call or two with Julia, but he would never say anything about those days, and Kate was usually with Kate when they talked.

Taking this opportunity, he also sorted out the things at work by the way. Needless to say on the film company side, with Laverne here, there is no need to worry. On the publishing company's side, although the novels of "Resident Evil" and "Tomb Raider" have opened up part of the situation, they have also signed a few good writers between the first and second-rate, and Ben Arndt has also started The sequel was written according to the outline provided by Adrian, but it will take a while to become a first-class publishing company, or wait for a certain magical series of novels to come out.

Although according to the information collected by private detectives, JK Rowling is not very depressed now, but Adrian did not think about it, it has already become like this anyway, he intends to wait until 1994, there is no need to be so urgent. It is also worth mentioning that Dean Wilson's investigation on China had already produced results at the end of 1992, and Adrian was right, there is no other self in this world. This is good news. After getting the fax, Adrian immediately sent it into the shredder, which means that he can do things more unscrupulously.

Well, this is all off-topic, next is the agent company, there is nothing to worry about, with Adrian here, they only need to sign those actors who are favored by him one by one, plus The company already has several actors and directors who are not yet well-known, and the prospects are very promising. Moreover, the company's system refers to the systems of many brokerage companies including CAA, and the promotions are not innovative enough but more than successful, so there is no need to worry about the possibility of brokers being poached by other companies.

What gave Adrian a little headache was the record company. Although it was a new company that was acquired only this year, sufficient funds ensured a smooth reorganization and started operations quickly. At the same time, it also signed several good producers. And under Adrian's suggestion, the record company also began to try to be a juvenile group, but the test of a single released was not successful, so he thought about it and finally asked Claude to find some songwriters to communicate with himself Next, see if you can restore those classics in memory.

Frankly, while it's not a bad idea, it's not a great idea either. ()
