King of Hollywood

The party in the bar didn't last long. Sean Waters wanted to talk to Adrian about a Fox movie they hoped would be directed by Adrian. Since Adrian revealed that he would not completely reject scripts from other companies, the number of invitations that had been reduced has slowly increased again, after all, his achievements are there. Still the same sentence, valuable, can bring them benefits, they don't mind holding you up to the sky.

Fox sent Sean, the general manager who has a good relationship with Cameron, to go out this time, apparently intending to persuade Adrian. It’s just that when Adrian invited him to have a drink, he not only called Cameron but also Arnold Schwarzenegger, and talked about "True Lies", which made Sean unable to find him for a while. to the point of interruption.

He knew that this was Adrian's veiled expression of disinterest, but at least give him a chance to speak, right? Fortunately, Adrian is not a supercilious person. After Sean reminded him two or three times, he finally gave him a chance to have a private chat.

"I think it's a good script, Sean, I think, and my vision is a bit persuasive. But, unfortunately, I still have to say no. Last year's three films made me think hard, and I want to do it again." Take a break. And, I won’t hide it from you, I’m already thinking about a movie.” Adrian said, seeing the disappointment on Sean’s face, he then added another sentence as comfort: “If you believe me If so, Philip Noyce would be a good fit to direct the film."

The screenplay that Fox wants him to direct is the adaptation of Tom Clancy's The Immediate Eye, which Adrian remembers as an action movie starring Harrison Ford, but it seems that Paramount should produce it , How could it fall into the hands of Fox now? To be honest, if he hadn't already had a movie on the schedule, preparations would start after the Oscars, and if he didn't plan to make more movies this year, he really wanted to give it a try, but now he can only refuse.

Although Sean was very disappointed, he didn't say much, and just left the bar quickly. After the remaining three drank a few more glasses, Schwarzenegger also left immediately because of his wife's reasons. Cameron couldn't help but teased him a few times, thinking that he was too compliant with his wife. Schwarzenegger just smiled and didn't explain, but Adrian knew that he probably had the will to aspire to the governor's throne as early as when he got married, otherwise why would he find a woman from the Kennedy family as his wife?

After Schwarzenegger left, Adrian and Cameron had a few more drinks and chatted about movies, especially the application of new technologies, and the two left the bar together.

"Wait and see, Ed, I will definitely make this movie better, hotter and more attractive than "Terminator"" After coming out of the bar, on the side of the street when the lights were on, Cameron was drinking Said so swearingly.

"I fully believe in this, James," Adrian tugged at his neckline in the night wind, also smelling of alcohol, "The reason why I choose you is because I believe that you can perform miracles."

"No, no, Ed, you're wrong, you are the one who can create miracles." Cameron shook his head like a rattle, "Listen, what do they call you? Miracle Isn't the director?"

He opened his arms while talking, and smiled as if a big man arrived. Adrian looked at him for a long time with a smile that was not a smile, and then suddenly opened his mouth: "James, after the completion of this movie, is there any Interested in creating a real miracle?"

"A miracle? What kind of miracle?" Cameron asked puzzled.

"I can't say it. I have a flash of inspiration, but my instinct tells me that if it succeeds, it will shock the world." Adrian still had a half-smile expression, "Would you like to try, James?"

Cameron raised his eyebrows and looked at him for a long time, rubbed his nose and then punched him on the shoulder: "Then it's settled."

What can be called a miracle is naturally only that movie. If Adrian produces and directs it himself, it goes without saying that it will add a lot to his achievements. It's just that it's too time-consuming. How long did it take Cameron? The shooting alone took more than a year, not to mention the preparatory work done before, and even went to the bottom of the sea to observe the wreckage at close range. Adrian didn't have so much time to spend on it.

Anyway, in his plan, there are still many major productions with a box office of over 100 million yuan to choose from. Giving this movie to the truck driver will not have much impact, and it can also make him work for himself with all his heart. Why not do it for fun?

After finishing his visit to "True Lies", Adrian spent a few days dealing with other things, the main one being the production of "Friends". After nearly two months of auditioning, casting, and integration, the first episode has been produced, and the director of the Los Angeles branch is being contacted. As long as they don't get their heads wet, they will definitely buy this TV series.

When I tried to watch the first episode, there was constant laughter in the screening room. Even Adrian, after seeing Ross muttering "I just want to get married", and then Rachel in a wedding dress flew out of the cafe. After rushing in, everyone was dumbfounded, and Chand couldn't help laughing at the scene where he shouted "I only want 1 million now".

Of course, the six old friends who played the role are still "the original cast". Except for Jennifer? This role is very suitable for him, so he is recommended to audition.

Then there's Lisa Kudrow and Courteney Cox, both of whom are established actors and didn't take much to find. Then there was Matt LeBlanc, who was somewhat famous as an advertising model, and the works he participated in were small productions, and it took a lot of work for those people in the TV department to find him.

The most troublesome one is David Schwon. He is still busy with his "Mirror" theater company in Chicago. , and he himself is not interested in sitcoms, the assistant who made the contact tried his best to persuade his agent first and then persuade him.

To be honest, if David Schwimmer hadn't "used" to be the actor of Ross Geller, Adrian would have changed after receiving the first report about him. There are too many actors in Hollywood. Not bad for him. But in the end, I decided to give it another chance, so that the quality of the series can be guaranteed to the greatest extent, and it is easier to control the trend of the series. Moreover, it is also very interesting to collect the original cast members to star in those TV dramas in memory, isn't it?

"Reply to Garnett, they are doing a good job, I will no longer ask about the record company, but I will report regularly every month... every week," Adrian said while sitting behind his desk while writing and drawing, " In addition, tell Parker that the new script is 79 acts and 112 scenes, I am very dissatisfied, I need him to readjust the plot, and I have written the specific content here."

As he spoke, he handed the script in his hand to Charlize behind the desk.

"Understood, is there nothing else?" Charlize nodded and wrote it down.

Adrian thought for a few seconds before saying again: "Notify the publishing company. After the novel is released, the sales must be notified as soon as possible. In addition, has the matter of renting a private jet been settled?"

"We can take off tomorrow." The girl shrugged, and after sorting out the things in her hands, she suddenly sighed.

"What's wrong?" Adrian asked curiously.

"I think you should give me a raise." Charlize looked at him seriously.

"You've only been working for less than a month and you're asking for a raise?" Adrian raised his eyebrows with a smile.

"When I first applied for the job, I didn't know that you had many companies to manage," Charlize said confidently. "I was originally a secretary and assistant. Now there are so many jobs to do, which is obviously unreasonable."

"I have to remind you, Charlie, it's all written in the contract, you read it and signed it." Adrian looked at her leisurely, Charlize couldn't help but stared at him speechless .

"Okay, okay," Adrian didn't joke, "Anyway, you will be 18 next month, and the details of the contract should be adjusted and supplemented accordingly. If you really want a salary increase, we will come to you. How about we talk about it later?"

Charlize snorted softly, got up and walked out. If she was in the company most of the time every day, she would usually be dressed as an OL, so the back at this time seemed to have a special rhyme, and Adrian almost whistled up.

In terms of working ability, Charlize is quite good. Although she is still a novice and made some mistakes at the beginning, she is very smart and learns things quickly. With everything organized in just a few short weeks, no wonder the achievement is remembered that way, and a pay raise could be considered.

"Speaking of which, most of the women around me have this kind of unyielding character." Adrian, who was tapping his fingers on the table, suddenly murmured, Kate, Sarah, Charlize, all That's right. Thinking of this, his heart suddenly moved. If his memory is correct, they have a very interesting thing in common. Perhaps, we can try it on Charlize?

Shrugging his shoulders, Adrian turned his attention to his work. Things in Los Angeles have basically come to an end. Although there are still a few problems with the new script, they can be resolved with some time; as for the publishing company, " The novel version of The Matrix is ​​finally coming out, and nothing major.

The most important thing is the record company side. The boy group that took some effort to create has been operated quite well. With the popularity of the two songs obtained from Adrian, not only the sales volume reached 500,000 copies in the first week, but also Occupy high places on the major music charts. If it wasn't for the fact that these two songs were written in the form of cooperation, the music director of the record company would probably come to the door to invite the boss to sing.

In general, several companies under the banner are developing well. Adrian's main energy is on movies, and he does not intervene in specific matters except for necessary situations. So, after the questioning, he embarked on his last and most important visit before the Oscars. ()
