King of Hollywood

It is not easy to create a song. For example, when a singer-songwriter is traveling or doing something else one day, he suddenly finds inspiration, and a good new song may be born as a result. But more often, new songs are written just before the deadline, and they are all changed and changed.

And what does Adrian want? It is to write a melody or lyrics for the other party to complete

Although he didn't listen to many European and American songs in his previous life, as long as he heard it, he would definitely recall it. It's just a matter of time. Coupled with the fact that he has dabbled in musical instruments in his past and present lives - this is a necessary skill to find a woman - the guitar in the previous life and the piano in this life are pretty good, so he knows more or less about staff notation.

But understanding is understanding, it may not be so smooth to use, and it will take a lot of time to copy it completely. Besides, he doesn't intend to do this, not because he feels guilty about plagiarizing too much, but because his main energy is on movies and the media. And because of his achievements in movies, he has already attracted a lot of attention. If he gets attention in music, it will be a little bit too much. This does not meet the definition he set for himself, half of which is on stage and more than half is hidden behind the scenes. It is precisely for this reason that the novel was published under a pseudonym.

So Adrian wanted to use such a method, that is, he wrote a melody or lyrics, and then handed it over to professionals to complete it, so as to copy the classic songs in his memory. But he forgot one thing. The reason why those classic songs in memory are classics is that apart from good lyrics and music, there is another important thing: excellent arrangement

Don’t underestimate the role of the arrangement, many times a slight change in the arrangement will result in two completely different effects, for example, it is obviously a sad song, but it becomes very cheerful immediately after speeding up four beats and festive. Therefore, after it is handed over to professionals for supplementation, the finished product is completely different from what Adrian remembers.

He will definitely not accept such a result, and it is inevitable to take it back and have it redone, but the problem is that he cannot directly say what is wrong, he can only suggest how to modify here, and how to modify there. It is a sure thing to revise again and again. So this wasted a lot of time, and at the same time, it also made those who wrote lyrics somewhat dissatisfied: an unprofessional guy actually pointed fingers like this.

Of course, even if you complain, you can only complain from the bottom of your heart. Adrian is the boss after all, and he has to endure it no matter how dissatisfied he is. If he doesn't do it, others will naturally do it. Adrian knew a little about this, but he didn't bother to explain--and he didn't know how to explain it. So just keep going like this, as long as the producer has enough vision, and the quality of the selected big boys is as good as they said, there is no need to explain after the single is released.

In this way, it was not until the beginning of January 1993 that "tthatway" and "veme" were worked out, and then they were produced and released, at least until the end of the month.

Hopefully it will be a hit. When Adrian was flipping through the relevant materials of the record company, he did not miss the materials of the four young people. They are all young, handsome and have their own characteristics. They also have a lot of performance experience. At the beginning, they just talked about it with the art director, but they did it so well. Copy it out.

Other than that, the rest is on the game studio side. Claude has had people investigate the silicon synapses, and he has no interest in this newly established game studio.

"It has only just been established, and we will observe it for at least a year and a half. Of course, if you want to acquire it in your own name, I have no objection." He said on the phone.

Adrian expressed his understanding of this. After all, Silicon Neuron Studio does not have anything to offer at the moment. Most of the time, it is making game ports for other companies. Two independently developed games are still in progress, so Ke It's normal for Lauder not to be interested. However, Adrian did not, as he said before, if the company was not interested, he would buy it in his own name. When dealing with matters related to the game studio, he deliberately took the time to let people collect a lot of data for analysis, and then after reading some information related to EA, he came up with a new idea.

According to this information, he somewhat recalled some useful things. For example, EA has grown through the continuous acquisition of those outstanding game studios. Although they also develop games themselves, the proportion is far less than the games they released.

This method can also be used by the media. Although Adrian doesn't remember much, he also knows such things as "Radiation", "Call of Duty" or "Sim City". However, these all need to be selected. The main positioning of the company is the media, and the acquired studios will naturally serve this purpose. Those well-known games are the primary goals. This is why Adrian wants to acquire Silicon Synapse Studios. , especially that online game.

Well, it's still too early to say these things, it's better to continue to lay a solid foundation.

These things seem to be a lot, but they are very easy to handle. With Kate around to help classify materials and handle chores, Adrian saved a lot of time, and even took time to type a few paragraphs of "The Matrix" on a typewriter - I have to say, Laptops are really slow to update.

In the middle of the month, Adrian and George Lucas went to Poland to visit Spielberg, who was still filming "Schindler's List" there. As he proposed, Spielberg built a 1:1 model of the concentration camp on the outskirts of Krakow. Fortunately, this is in Poland. How much does it cost.

After seeing Spielberg again, Adrian couldn't help being startled. His eyes were sunken, his stubble was mixed, his face was haggard, and he would be in a daze from time to time. He was completely two people from before, even after hearing "Jurassic" The news that Ji Park's North American box office is close to 300 million can't make him happy for a few minutes.

"This is the most painful day of my life, George, Ed, whenever I tell them to sort and stand, I feel like a Nazi." When Spielberg said this, his face was mixed with sadness , resentment and helplessness, she looked so weak that she was about to fall down at any time. But as soon as he stands behind the camera, he immediately becomes engrossed again.

He probably put all his energy into the filming of the movie. Adrian said this in his heart, even though he was calm, he still couldn't help being moved by Spielberg. Compared with some people in his previous life, he really wanted to sneer. I'm afraid those guys didn't even have half of Spielberg's investment, so it's no wonder that the photos they took were all...

Forget it, don't think about these things so much, at least it has nothing to do with him for the time being, even if you want to do something, it's not the time.

Adrian stayed in Poland for almost four days. In addition to comforting Spielberg, he also had a good chat with the three leading actors, whether it was Liam Neeson wearing a suit from the 1930s or 1940s, or wearing a German Nazi uniform. Ralph Fiennes was tall and handsome, and Ben Kingsley, who was dressed as a Jew, was a bit short, but he also had a gentle and strong temperament.

"It's all about the shoot, and I used to be a bit of a joker in private," Kingsley said of his current situation. "I have to be in that state all the time so I can be on the shoot, but I'm happy to be a part of it." The production of this film, I believe it will be a great work."

"Indeed, this will be a great work, and I should thank you, Ed, if it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have gotten this role." Neeson said the same.

"I just did a little favor, Liam, you're already very good, but..." Adrian said, looking at Fiennes next to him with playful eyes, "At least you are better than some people."

Both Neeson and Kingsley couldn't help laughing. Everyone in the film crew knew that Fiennes almost beat up the staff of the film company who asked him to take pictures of Nazi military uniforms.

"Don't think I'm very happy, Ed," Fiennes frowned intentionally, "To be honest, I've already drank nearly five kilograms of alcohol for this movie, and sometimes I even thought filming was just drinking. "

This made all three of them laugh again. Overall, the three lead actors are very interesting people, and they would be even more so if it weren't for the heavy weight of the movie being filmed.

Afterwards, Adrian bid farewell to Lucas and Spielberg and returned to Los Angeles first. Before leaving, he had a good talk with the person in charge of Bosworth Films here, emphasizing the safety issue. As he had expected, the film encountered a lot of trouble from local people in the middle of filming.

For example, an old woman once dragged Fiennes to talk about the situation decades ago, and she took him for a real Nazi officer. When Kingsley played Styne, he was often abused by some locals from a distance, and once again even angered Neeson and almost punched him. Fortunately so far there have been no major conflicts.

To Adrian's surprise, when he came to the airport to wait for the flight, two Jews rushed over from the crew eagerly and had a brief conversation with him. They are not ordinary people. They are representatives of the National Jewish Association. Spielberg followed Adrian's suggestion and contacted the National Jewish Association through friends to ask them to help, and let some children of survivors' families participate in the performance.

This proposal was responded by the association, and everything that Adrian did for the film was immediately known to them, so the two Jews who had just driven to the film crew immediately went to the airport after learning that he had just gone to the airport. Then rushed over.

They didn't say much, they just expressed their gratitude to Adrian for his contribution. Although it was just a few simple words, Adrian knew what it meant, so he was naturally apologetic.

"It's nothing, I just did what I should do." Although he said it so humbly, he couldn't help feeling a little proud in his heart, all of this was within his expectation ()
