King of Hollywood

Adrian stayed in the studio of "Philadelphia Story" for almost an entire afternoon. Apart from exchanging opinions with Demi after observing the director, he also had to win over Hanks and Washington. Well, it can't be said to be wooing, but to establish a good relationship and plan for the future. Adrian thought that maybe he could take Denzel Washington under his flag.

Although Washington already has an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor, he is a black man after all, and there are not many high-grossing movies. Poaching him from his current agent is perfectly fine.

Hanks is no good. Although there is only one best actor nomination compared to Washington, he became famous earlier than Washington, and because of his simple and honest appearance and good acting skills, he is very popular. It is not easy to scoop him up. . Maybe in a few years, but Hanks will probably be his own boss by then. Of course, asking him to play a role is absolutely no problem.

"No problem, I'm looking forward to cooperating with Director Miracle." When asked about possible cooperation, Hanks readily agreed. I have to say that Adrian's current name is very influential.

At first, he was a ghost director, then he became a wizard director, and now he is a miracle director. Three titles in three years, it has become so fast, and Adrian is the only one in Hollywood. And these titles are definitely worthy of the name. He has produced six films from 1990 to now, and each film has never lost money, and he is very good at getting high box office at a low cost. North America has earned 100 million box office, and the world has reached 200 million. Even "Howard End", a niche literary film that is generally regarded as a dull story, can make money. Although this is caused by many factors, the money it makes It is an indisputable fact.

In addition, these six films have also won him a lot of honors, not to mention participating in the three major European film festivals, and he has never failed every time. Although the Best Newcomer in Venice and the Jury Prize in Berlin are of little weight, the Palme d'Or in Cannes is enough to make many people look sideways, not to mention that he is the youngest winner of the Palme d'Or, and he was the youngest Oscar nominee for best director before. people. To be able to achieve so much in three years is nothing but a miracle.

However, what the stars value the most is another point: the nominations for Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor at the 64th Oscar, the Best Actor and Best Supporting Actress at the 50th Golden Globe Awards, and this year's Oscar for Best Actor. Leading Actor and Actress nominations – there are even two nominations for Best Actor

Yes, PR is a must if you want to win an award, but that doesn't mean PR is everything. No weighty work, no amount of public relations is useless, an actor with considerable qualifications like Pacino, who has an outstanding role does not even need public relations, so Tom Hanks will give an answer very readily.

For Adrian, having such an answer is enough. Although he has promised Winston Glum that he will start writing the script within this year, it is impossible to shoot it. After all, there is still an important movie to be released this year. As long as there are no mistakes, the best movie and best director will belong to it, so there is no need to get involved at this time.

After finishing his visit to the "Philadelphia Story" crew, Adrian notified Peter Bell of his agency about some of his ideas—in addition to Denzel Washington, there is another person worth noting, that is, the Antonio Banderas, who plays Hanks' gay lover.

That's right, that Spanish kid is also just emerging, and his popularity and popularity are not as good as Washington's. Of course, a person like this should be handled by his company's agent as early as possible. His "future" achievements may not be as good as Washington, let alone Hanks, but he can be regarded as a first-line actor in Hollywood, let alone Adrian.

CAA developed by spreading the net and bundling sales. Among so many second- and third-tier actors, there are always a few who can become popular. Although Adrian also wants to do this, but the current brokerage company is not large, and the most suitable candidate in his mind is not yet in place, so he can only choose to take the elite route for the time being.

Next, Adrian continued to visit the set, and "True Lies" finally started after nearly half a year of preparation.

"Ah..." As the model plane suddenly tilted, Sarah, who was crawling in front of the plane, screamed and was about to fall down. Fortunately, she kept holding on to the edge of the dilapidated cabin, and finally fell on the plane. However, even though she was wearing insurance, the impact was still difficult to bear, and her expression changed slightly when she fell.

Adrian, who had been paying attention to the shooting scene from the outside, almost wanted to go forward to hug her, but he stopped his urge after looking at the serious face of Cameron beside him. After shooting for more than ten seconds, Cameron felt that it was almost time before he stopped.

"Sarah, are you alright?" Adrian asked with a frown as he looked at Sarah who was helped by his assistant.

"It's okay, I'm fine." Sarah's face turned slightly pale, and she unconsciously covered her chest line with her hands.

"Really?" Adrian asked anxiously, then looked around, "Is your mother not here?"

"She just got a new job," Sarah whispered. "I'm really fine, just a little sore."

As she spoke, she walked slowly towards her seat, and within a few steps, Adrian suddenly took the arm from her assistant, hugged the girl horizontally, and said to the staff beside her: "Look a place to lie down."

"I'm fine." Sarah said stubbornly in her arms, "I can continue"

"Be obedient." Adrian only answered that, and then followed the clerk to a trailer. After carefully putting her on a bed, he picked up her clothes.

"Wait...wait..." Sarah stammered and wanted to stop her, but in exchange she still said, "Be obedient."

She had no choice but to lie on the bed and watch the roof of the trailer being at the mercy of Adrian. Fortunately, Adrian didn't roll up her clothes too much, it stopped below the bust line, and then reached out under her ribs Gently pressed on some reddened skin: "How is it here?"

"It's...not bad." Although Sarah's tone remained calm, the low inhalation sound when she pressed it down did not escape Adrian's ears.

"Sarah" Adrian called out with an accentuated tone.

Sarah stopped talking, gritted her teeth after a while and said, "I can continue to shoot."

What a stubborn girl. Adrian sighed in his heart, and was about to continue to say something, when the staff who left just now came with the doctor, and director James Cameron came with him.

"What's wrong?" Cameron asked, frowning.

"It may have been a heavy fall just now." Adrian explained simply, while looking at the doctor who was examining the girl.

"No serious problem." The doctor quickly finished the examination, and after taking a look at Cameron, he said, "However, I suggest that if there are still shots with a relatively high risk factor, it is best to let her rest for a while before shooting."

Judging from the doctor's expression, it seems that this happened more than once or twice, but after thinking about it, Cameron has the title of "studio tyrant". Adrian couldn't help but look at Cameron, and this guy with a circle of stubble came up to Sarah in a few steps and patted the girl on the shoulder: "You're doing well, Sarah, take a break Next, we'll start filming again in half an hour."

It's just that his expression was rather stiff, and he seemed a little reluctant. Sarah straightened up a little, looked at the director and then at Adrian, and was about to say something, when Adrian spoke in a timely manner: "Okay Now, Sarah, take a good rest, if you don't want your mother to worry."

Sure enough, moving out the sign of "Mom" was more effective than anyone else, and Sarah immediately lay back obediently. After saying a few more words, Adrian and Cameron got out of the trailer together.

"I remember telling you on the phone last time that my requirements are very strict." Cameron suddenly said to Adrian after returning to the studio.

"I know, but do you think Sarah didn't meet your requirements?" Adrian asked immediately.

"Of course not, she performed very well, very..." Cameron thought for a few seconds, "Very tough."

"Indeed, she is a very stubborn girl." Adrian nodded, "That's why I recommend it to you."

"Really?" Cameron suddenly looked at him with interest, "You seem to care about her."

"Indeed, her mother asked me to take care of her. If she gets hurt because of this, her mother will definitely kill me." Adrian said calmly.

Cameron raised his eyebrows, but before he could speak, Charlize in casual attire had already walked over.

"Ed, Mr. Sean Waters from 20th Century Fox called and said that he will be on the set soon." She raised the big brick in her hand and said, "There are still ten minutes."

"Okay, thank you." Adrian nodded to show that he understood, and then looked at Cameron: "It can be seen that Fox attaches great importance to this movie, how about asking Arnold to go to the bar for a drink after the filming is over? ?”

"No problem." Cameron shrugged, and then looked at Charlize who finally couldn't hold back, "Where is Miss Charlize?"

"I'm going home." Charlize smiled, then turned and walked away.

Cameron gave a haha ​​to Adrian who was looking at him with raised eyebrows, and walked into the studio first.

The budget of "True Lies" is around 100 million US dollars. Adrian originally planned to get 20th Century Fox and Bosworth Films to share half, but it was probably stimulated by the global box office of "Jurassic Park" of 600 million US dollars. When it arrived, Claude offered to participate in the investment. After thinking about it, Adrian agreed to his request. Although "True Lies" did not earn as much as "Jurassic Park", it was still a big profit after all. Fox is naturally willing to have more people to take risks, so the investment has changed from two parties to three parties, although two parties are essentially one party.

It's just that Fox basically didn't interfere in the production of the film except for the finances, so today they will suddenly send someone to the set, and they are also the general manager. It is self-evident what they want to do. ()
