King of Hollywood

"Don't even think about it, James, you have to know that the budget given to you at the beginning was 100 million U.S. dollars, and you should be satisfied. Look at Joe and the others. Has anyone ever had such treatment as you? Even I haven't made a budget at 100 million U.S. dollars. Movies worth more than 100 million dollars." Adrian stood against the wall with a cup in his hand, and said jokingly to James Cameron, who was also full of beards.

"Hey, it's only 10 million, and I just want to make it better." Cameron cried out.

"Don't even think about it, James, unless you pay for it yourself-what do you think, Trent?" Adrian said, looking at Sean Waters, the general manager of Fox Corporation, next to him.

"I completely agree." Waters laughed. As the general manager of Fox, and supervised the production of "True Lies", he knows Cameron's style too well.

"Okay, James, Ed is right, there are not many directors who can get a budget of 100 million dollars to squander like you." Seeing that Cameron was still about to speak, Jonathan Demme on the side immediately opened mouth, but the tone is also ridiculed.

"Okay, James, I'll be delusional again," Adrian followed up, not giving Cameron a chance to speak, "Let's talk about it after the movie is finished with peace of mind."

Cameron finally shrugged his shoulders with a smile, and then suddenly asked when he thought of something: "Do you remember what we said that day, Ed? When I came out of the bar, Sean was there that day, but he left early."

"Of course I remember, I will never forget my words," Adrian said with a chuckle, "If this movie can achieve the expected goal, then I will invest 200 million yuan to let you make the next movie."

"Really?" Cameron's eyes lit up immediately, and his tone was filled with excitement, "Then how much box office has reached your expected goal?"

"Well, let's wait until the movie is released." Adrian spread his hands, and the people around him suddenly laughed. In their opinion, Adrian was just joking. A look of disappointment flashed across Cameron's face, but he seemed to understand something after seeing Adrian's meaningful eyes, and then laughed with everyone.

"Speaking of which, I suddenly feel a little envious of Arnold and the others. Not everyone can play the leading role in such a big investment." Denzel Washington said in a half-joking tone at the side.

"Who knows, no one can predict what will happen in the future." Tom Hanks patted him on the shoulder with a smile.

"I can predict it." Adrian immediately interjected, and then said solemnly after everyone looked over: "However, I can only predict recent things, such as the prospect of "Philadelphia Story."

This immediately caused a burst of laughter, and then Todd Browning, an executive from Universal who stood on the other side, immediately asked: "So what is the prospect of "The Philadelphia Story"?"

"I believe that anyone who has watched the trial screening will feel good, and Joe may be nominated for the Oscar for Best Director again." Adrian said with an extremely serious taste after thinking about it.

"Is this a prophecy? Should it be regarded as the prophecy of the director of Miracle?"

"Ha, looks like it's time to congratulate Joe in advance, he may be nominated again after a gap of a year."

"Oh, please, this is just Ed's prediction, don't you all think it's true?"

Everyone started to discuss, and then the topic got farther and farther away. These are the guests at the party, the executives of several well-connected film companies, as well as several well-known directors and actors, even Spielberg and Lukes have been here-although they only stayed for thirty or forty Minutes left - not to mention those second- and third-tier directors, actors, producers, agents, etc.

In addition, Frank West, the head of the Los Angeles branch, was present. After all, "Friends" is currently being broadcast on their TV network, and some other TV networks have also tried their best - for example, some guests will always bring A few friends - attended the party, and among them was Adrian's target Turner Broadcasting Company.

These well-informed guys know that since Bosworth Films has produced such a popular TV series, it will definitely continue to develop, and there is Adrian, a miracle director or a miracle screenwriter—this is in " After "Friends" hit the air, people in the industry gave him a new title, but since he still mainly produces movies now, most of the screenwriters just provide ideas and let other screenwriters complete it, so this title only exists in private.

In short, with such a person, the production of TV series will be more or less guaranteed, and these TV networks naturally hope to get a share of it. After all, the competition on this is also very large

It can be seen that although Adrian is still an upstart in Hollywood in terms of time, in terms of status and identity, he is already much higher than the title of new director or producer. After all, he is also the chairman of the media. Although the media is not as good as those big group companies, it is almost uncommon for the chairman of a media company to be a director. Of course, this is not something that ordinary new directors or producers can do comparable.

"Do you still remember what you promised me, Tom, I hope you can be the leading actor in a movie next year." Adrian took the time to say this to Hanks in front of everyone.

"No problem, I'll make room for you." The other party agreed without any hesitation.

"It looks like workaholics are about to start again." Immediately, someone made a joke like this, and then withdrew a bunch of topics.

This is also a manifestation of power and status. If someone else invited Hanks like this, he would never answer so readily. Of course, it has something to do with Hanks not yet at his peak, but so is Adrian, otherwise he wouldn't have used "I need" instead of "I hope".

However, this kind of status, identity and power are also relative. Although he is considered a big shot in front of these people, he is still a newcomer in front of some people. At the reception of the godfather a few days ago, Lei Shi The old man in the east said that he and Claude were "two nice young men".

Although he was a little unhappy, Adrian quickly put it behind him. Of course, Lei Shidong is qualified to say that. In fact, most of these celebrities who attended the Godfather reception can say that they are indeed still young people. But this does not mean that young people are very tender, Claude quickly put Lei Shidong together.

"I'm noncommittal to his proposal. It's really a joke. I just want to get the shares of Paramount from me so simply." After chatting with Redstone alone, Crowder said to Adrian , "Although we all agree to fall to Viacom, it is definitely not now. Let's wait for the results of their competition."

Adrian could only laugh at this.

"Hey, Ed, so you're here." A hand suddenly patted Adrian's shoulder.

"Dan?" Adrian turned his head, and then deliberately showed a relieved look, "Who did I think it was?"

"What's wrong?" Dennis asked strangely.

"No, it's nothing, are you having fun?" Adrian shook his head and changed the subject, chatted with Cameron and the others for a long time, and dealt with executives from various TV networks who came to strike up a conversation for a while. He wanted to stay in this quiet corner for a few minutes, and then find Julia to leave together, but he didn't expect Dennis to find him again.

"Oh, of course, very happy, and they are too." Dennis said, stepping away from the body, Jennifer? Aniston, Courteney? Cox and Matthew? A director immediately appeared in front of him.

"Hi, Ed, long time no see, you look a lot more handsome." Compared with the other five actors, Jennifer was more familiar with Adrian, so she greeted Adrian first with a big smile.

"Hi, Jane, you too, you are more beautiful than before." Adrian smiled and hugged her, and then the other five embraced in turn: "Gentlemen, ladies, congratulations."

"Thank you, Ed."

"That's right, if it wasn't for you, we wouldn't have had the chance to act in such an interesting TV series."

Matthew and the others spoke in a hurry, their words were full of gratitude and respect, especially David Xiumeng. After all, when Adrian asked them to act in the first place, he almost refused. If Adrian hadn't given up, he wouldn't be here today, and he might regret it desperately at home.

Adrian chatted with them with a smile on his face, accepted their gratitude openly, and honestly, for a few minutes, he really wondered if they found their roles completely restricted to In "Friends", if no matter how the transformation is futile, will you feel resentment?

"By the way, Ed, have you considered playing a guest role in "Friends"?" After chatting for a few minutes, a screenwriter suddenly said this to Adrian, and everyone's eyes were turned to him immediately.

"Do you have any good advice, Braga?" Adrian asked calmly.

The biggest attraction of "Friends" is not only the interesting language and humor close to life, but also the invitation of popular stars to make guest appearances. They were all cast by the original cast. Of course, this point of view would not be ignored, but I didn't expect them to hit his head.

"I have an idea." The male screenwriter named Braga said with a smile. He is about twenty-seven or eight years old. He is very young, so it's no wonder he is so bold.

"Matt's Joy is a soap opera actor, and it just so happens that he's auditioning for a movie," Braga said. Director's casting."

"Friends" has shot 11 episodes now, and there are at least 13 episodes to be filmed. They plan to let him start this cameo. It's a good plan.

"How about it, Ed, you just need to act in your true colors." Seeing that he was still thinking, Braga continued to persuade, "You know, Dan is right behind you, and as soon as Janey opened her mouth, he agreed to make a cameo appearance."

"Dan has agreed?" Adrian looked at Dennis, who nodded to him.

interesting. Adrian narrowed his eyes. Speaking of which, at the party tonight, Dan had been very close to Janie, and Nori hadn't seen him around a few times...it was really interesting. ()
