King of Hollywood

Chapter 61 Candidates

"You know, Crowe, this is good news. In any case, the big market of 1.1 billion people has been opened. Their movie market is still blank, and we can easily occupy enough share." Adrian said Slowing down the car while talking on the phone, he doesn't want to be a model of driving while talking on the phone and then getting into a car accident.

"It is inevitable, they are not like us after all, but it will be a long time, if our wrists are flexible enough, it is not impossible to make them like Japan. Well, so be it, let Pella Mengg to communicate, let's observe for a while and talk about it after finishing what we are doing." Adrian continued, and put away the phone after the other side finished talking.

"The Chinese market..." He stared ahead, chuckled after thinking for a long time, and then stepped up the accelerator.

Adrian told Claude before that he would take the opportunity of opening up the Chinese film market to establish an overseas travel channel, but the company was not big at that time, and he didn't have much time and resources to do this. New consideration, so put aside for now. Later, when Viacom acquired Paramount G, the media sought a seat on Viacom's board of directors and indirectly established a relationship with Paramount G, and Paramount G has been exploring overseas. Market—in fact, the seven major film companies are all doing this, but the progress is different—especially in Asia. It is self-evident how much potential the population has.

Therefore, Adrian and the others were happy to hitch a ride. Last year's blockbuster movies have begun to appear in Chinese theaters one after another, which is bound to set off a wave of Hollywood frenzy. As for what will happen in the future, Adrian is not worried at all. Regardless of what he and Claude said before, it is basically impossible to occupy China like Eastern Europe or the Japanese film market. The difference between the East and the West In some ways it's big.

Although he had ridiculed a certain game when drinking and chatting with his friends and colleagues in his previous life, after calming down and thinking about it carefully, although they did a lot of inexplicable and annoying things-there are laymen, leaders and professionals everywhere-but It has indeed played a role in protecting China's domestic market. If it is fully opened up like Japan and Eastern Europe, China's local films will be over long ago, and even Japan and South Korea are trying to restrict them, not to mention being a big country. All the propaganda tools in the hands of others? Even in the United States, non-US citizens are not allowed to acquire broadcasting companies.

However, the shocks faced in the past few years are unavoidable. Although the rhythm, camera, picture and storyline of Chinese movies are all good, they are still not enough compared to the mature Hollywood film factory. One excellent movie after another, Chinese movies must wait for years to recover.

Adrian doesn't mind being a little bit of a help in it and reducing the time to get angry. In fact, that's why he set foot in the Chinese market. In any case, his current achievements are inseparable from his previous life, and he still has to pay back what should be paid back.

However, there is very little that can be done to help. It is ultimately up to the efforts of Chinese filmmakers themselves if Chinese films are to be developed. I don't understand the basics, and I blame a certain bureau, but after all, a few people have learned how to operate a commercial film through stumbles, otherwise those incompetent and arrogant guys will hand over the market by themselves Give way.

Seeing that his destination was in front of him, Adrian immediately stopped his thinking. It was still too early to do these things. He parked the car on the side of the road, carefully observed the surrounding area, and after making sure that there were no paparazzi or anything, he got out of the car and went to the door of the independent villa and rang the doorbell.

"God, Ed!" Gwyneth who opened the door exclaimed, "Didn't you say you'll come over after two hours?"

"I want to apologize to you, Gwynnie, I lied to you," Adrian smiled and took a bouquet of fresh roses from behind and handed it to her. "I gave it to you, I hope you like it."

"It's so beautiful." Gwyneth exclaimed again, before dropping her nose and taking a deep breath in delight.

"I like this bunch of flowers, it's so bang." The girl smiled openly, her eyes were almost full of crescent moons. The next second she let out a cry of surprise, because Adrian bent down and resisted her and walked inside.

"Put me down, Ed! You can't do this." Gwyneth said coquettishly, but she didn't do anything to prevent the hua bundle she was holding in her hand from falling apart, she just kicked it symbolically twice with tuǐ, see Come on, this is calculated by Adrian.

"Long time no see, you've become a lot prettier again." After coming to the living room and putting Gwyneth off his shoulders, Adrian said in praise, and moved his hand to her belly.

"Thank you, but don't you think this passage can be used to explain a certain word?" Gwyneth rolled her eyes.

"Oh? So, is it empathetic?" Adrian asked deliberately, then the girl shook her head and said: "That means being articulate, or else being able to speak well? If not, then it should be the perfect witticism... "

Seeing that the words spoken became more and more irrelevant, Gwyneth gave him a blank look: "Smart words!"

"It turned out to be one," Adrien pretended not to understand the meaning, "Can I take it as a compliment?"

"Yes, yes, this is a compliment." Gwyneth gave him another look, then turned and walked away. After pouring a glass of water for Adrian, she took the hua bottle and began to express the rose heartily netbsp; Adrian didn't say much, sitting on the sofa and drinking water at a leisurely pace while looking at Gwyneth Chahua, under her white silk coat was a smear dress, so every time she leaned over You can see a little net light from the ng mouth every time, coupled with the quiet temperament, it is unique. Gwyneth also noticed his scrutinizing eyes, and after glancing at him, her movements became softer and softer. The afternoon sunlight came in from the floor-to-ceiling windows, making her gestures beautiful.

After spending about tens of minutes, Gwyneth finally stuffed all the flowers into the bottle, looked at them carefully, and then turned to Adrian happily: "How is it?"

"Although there are still too many deficiencies compared to professionals, the top flower looks particularly beautiful through layers of embellishment, which is quite good." Winnes still seemed a little unhappy, she curled her lips and looked at him angrily: "How do you know I'm not professional?"

"Unfortunately, dear Gwyneth, I have seen how professionals chahua." Adrian said with a chuckle, Gwyneth's way of acting like a baby is quite funny, "Actually, you have done a very good job gone."

"I've been studying for a new movie for weeks," Gwyneth said, a little deflated.

"Well, it looks like you did a lot of preparatory work for this movie." Adrian then changed the subject.

"Of course." Mentioning this, the girl suddenly became radiant again. She suddenly sat up straight, coughed lightly and contemplated, then looked at Adrian with a reserved and a little bit of arrogance: "Nate Mr. Li, if you have any plans to talk to me, as your friend, I can't refuse, no matter what you want to tell me, I'm willing to listen."

The ups and downs of his accent did not have the feeling of American English at all, and the slight changes in the expression on his face were just right. The confident but somewhat stubborn and evil look immediately made Adrian applaud.

"Excellent, Gwynne, I said that I can't go wrong with my vision, as long as I keep this state, it will definitely be the best version!" Adrian's tone was full of admiration, and he sighed again after a pause He took a deep breath: "I suddenly had the urge to return to London and start shooting with you immediately."

"Don't be in such a rush. Anyway, there are still a few days left. I can prepare more fully." Although Gwyneth was smiling, the smug, agitated and excited look on her brows did not escape Adriatic Ann's eyes.

"By the way, do you still remember what I told you on the phone?" Adrian said as he handed over the document bag that he always carried with him, "Let's read it in detail first."

"This is...the script?" Gwyneth opened the file bag with a look of surprise. She looked at Adrian and then at the thick script in her hand, her face full of puzzlement.

Adrian didn't speak, but smiled and made a "please" gesture. Gwyneth shrugged, then looked down and flipped through the pages. The script is very thick, it looks like it has nearly a thousand pages. According to the standard format, the film length is estimated to be more than a minute, so Gwyneth quickly started to read it. She knew what scenes she needed to read. It can only be the heroine who can make Adrian deliver it in person.

The room returned to the quiet and ambiguous atmosphere just now, but the sound of scissors cutting off flowers and leaves was replaced by the rustling of pages turning.

After another few tens of minutes, Gwyneth finally finished reading the script, and after holding her chin in contemplation, she let out a long breath and looked at Adrian with a questioning look.

"Don't like this role?" Adrian asked first.

"Well... I can't say I like it, I can't say I hate it, it's just..." Gwyneth made gestures and didn't know how to organize the words, and finally just said jokingly: "It seems that you plan to let me play the British all the time. gone."

"Let me guess," Adrian sat next to her. "First of all, there are already a lot of movies about the Titanic. It's hard to come up with new ideas after making too many of the same theme, right?"

Gwyneth didn't admit it or deny it, she just looked at him intently with her cheek resting on one hand.

"Secondly," Adrian continued, wrapping his arms around Gwyneth's shoulders, "Secondly, James Cameron has always been known for his commercial productions. Filming a commercial production is certainly helpful for improving his reputation, but it is also easy to become a hua Bottle. And James has the title of 'set tyrant', it's probably not easy to work with him, right?"

"You've said everything I want to say, what else can I say?" Gwyneth sighed after a moment of silence.

"You have to trust my vision, Gwynnie," Adrian laughed and grabbed her hand, looking into her eyes with a serious expression, "This will be a big mark in film history movie! I can't think of a reason why you would say no."

Although Gwyneth's expression did not change, there was still a flash of hesitation and disbelief.

"Do you know that James has found a port in Mexico to build a 1:1 model of the Titanic, and he even rented a Russian submarine for this purpose, several times to the depths of the Atlantic Ocean to observe the wreckage of the Titanic up close , I also consulted many experts, not to mention Hua's skills in costumes and props," Adrian knew how to impress her, "and I invested 200 million yuan for him to squander——simply invested."

"You mean...you mean...you invested 200 million?!" Gwyneth was shocked immediately, and almost dropped the script in her hand, but luckily she caught it in time with quick reactions.

U.S. dollars in this era are still quite valuable. For example, General Hammer plans to give one million U.S. dollars to each of his soldiers after he succeeds in blackmailing the government. If 15 years later, this amount of money is really nothing What, but a million dollars in 1995 equals seven to eight million dollars in 1995!

Nowadays, the budget of most large-scale movies is about 100 million U.S. dollars at most, and they are basically invested by several major movie companies. It was unheard of, and it was inevitable that Gwyneth would lose her composure.

Those who make such a decision are either crazy or have too much money to use, or they have great confidence in the film, and it goes without saying which kind Adrian belongs to. Everyone there admitted that his vision was extremely accurate. Therefore, it is self-evident what choice Gwyneth should make.

"God, I really didn't expect...you actually asked me...to play the leading role..." Gwyneth blushed with excitement, and she was a little incoherent when she spoke.

"Because there is no one more suitable than you." Adri said with a smile soothing her face.

Indeed, among the women who are close to him, only Gwyneth is the most suitable at present, Monica and Julia are not enough in terms of age alone; Sarah is too much, and does not have the temperament of an English woman; Blanchett's face is slightly hard, and she can't show that kind of girly style; Liv is completely a hua vase, before, now, and in the future, she just needs to be a hua vase with peace of mind; two Loli Not to mention the tower.

Rachel and Kate are fine, but the former has already made arrangements, and the relationship is not in place now, Adrian has no reason to give her so many opportunities; as for the latter, unfortunately, she is pregnant now, and It also lacks the aristocratic or high-society sister's temperament. So in the end, it was given to Gwyneth. Anyway, the hero and heroine of "Titanic" are actually hua vases, but the unprecedented box office made everyone ignore these.

"Oh, Ed, I don't know what to say now." Gwyneth finally calmed down and sighed, although she was smiling wryly but brightly, "It's like... suddenly losing confidence. "

"Don't think too much, Gwynne, all you have to do is go to London with me to finish shooting that movie, and then go to Mexico to shoot this movie." Adrian gently rubbed her hands, "Of course, Working with James will be hard work, the title of tyrant is not for nothing, but I hope you can bear it, when this movie is finished, you will be worth it, it will be a great movie, What it has achieved is unimaginable to anyone - except me!"

He looked into her eyes, with a strong aura of being the one who can't be with me: "My eyes have never missed it, not before, not now, and never in the future!"

Gwyneth's breathing suddenly became rapid, and her throat began to move slightly, as if she was a little uncontrollable, but she quickly controlled herself and nodded with a smile: "I believe you, Ed."

As soon as he finished speaking, his mouth was tightly gagged by Adrian, and Gwyneth immediately stuck out her tongue to entangle him with all her heart.

"Okay, I'm leaving." Adrian said after tasting her rosy net petals and savoring it.

"Leaving? Is there anything else?" Gwyneth looked surprised, "If it's not important, can you stay for dinner? We haven't seen each other for a while."

There was a hint of coquettishness in her tone, and her attitude of persuasion was very firm, she knew what was going on in her heart without saying anything.

Unexpectedly, Adrian shook his head and said in a gentle tone: "Sorry, Gwynnie, I do have other things, so how about another day?"

There was a strange flash in Gwyneth's eyes, she seemed to think of something but couldn't say it out loud. But Adrian immediately pinched her chin, lowered his head and licked her mouth: "Don't worry, we have plenty of time after we go to London."

"Indeed." After being stunned for a few seconds, a smile slipped from the corner of her mouth, "Then I won't delay you, Ed."

Adrian was satisfied with the harvest on Gwyneth's side, but it didn't go so smoothly on the other side.

"Gwyneth has no problem. Someone recommended it to me before. After reading her works, I also confirmed this. If you didn't say that there is already a female lead candidate, I might have contacted her agent. But the leading actor, I don’t think River Phoenix is ​​suitable.” In James Cameron’s studio, the studio tyrant said this to Adrian, and his expression was quite serious, obviously he had his own opinion on the choice of leading actor Decide.

Adrian frowned but then smoothed it out: "So can you tell me about your candidate, James?"

Seeing him like this, shouldn't he...

"Leonardo DiCaprio."
