King of Hollywood

Chapter 80 It's Interesting

"It's nice to meet you, David, how do you feel?" In the large front hall, Adrian let go of Gwyneth's arm, smiled and hugged David Finch, "Almost everyone who participated Critics who did test screenings thought it was too dark. WWw.YZUUdot m”

"As I said, I always have some evil thoughts that others don't think of," Finch shrugged, "To hell with their comments-I want to say this, but I still hope that more people will read it arrive."

This is what separates Fincher from other independent filmmakers—especially those who talk about art—in trying to maintain their own style while also considering the commercial value of the film. Based on this alone, he is better than many people, but he can't handle it well, either with a strong personal style or a little more commercialization.

This is the Gmund Theatre, where "Seven Deadly Sins" is screened. Although the boundaries between independent films and big productions are becoming increasingly blurred, small-budget or uniquely thought-provoking productions can be called independent films, "Seven Deadly Sins" It belongs to the latter, but Adrian insisted on holding a moderate screening for the film, and arranged it for the summer vacation in mid-July.

"It's very simple. Although I don't like the ending, I like this movie." Adrian said. It is now recognized that Miracle director has the sharpest vision, and this praise is naturally quite heavy.

The comments of the film critics who participated in the test screening seemed to confirm this point. Their opinions were similar to Adrian's. This has also become a gimmick in the promotion of the film company. Do you want to know what kind of film the director of Miracle agrees with most film critics? Go see The Seven Deadly Sins! Adrian was a little dumbfounded when he found out, his own movie hadn't been promoted like this yet.

"I would like to congratulate you for making a much-anticipated animated film. Is it too late?" Finch suddenly asked.

"Of course not," Adrian laughed and patted his arm, "but I'm just investing, not participating in the production."

Although Pixar is still discussing the next theme, the sequel of "Toy Story" is affirmed. This news was revealed immediately, which immediately aroused enthusiastic responses. The movies that caught up behind were thrown far away, and continued to maintain their positions on the box office charts.

In addition, "Fortune" and "Hollywood Report" and other technology-focused magazines published the interviews with Kamal and others. After ten years of hard work, the Silicon Valley ugly duckling turned into a white swan became the pinnacle of inspirational stories, and Pixar was in the limelight for a while. No two, and Adrian's keen vision was once again praised.

"I think any investor would not spend tens of thousands of dollars to buy an animation studio that had lost money for seven or eight years at that time. But Adrian is different. He always seems to be able to see the future development trend. Without the slightest hesitation, it’s no wonder that he can also serve as the chairman of the media while being a film director. I have to feel sorry for Jobs, if he can persist for another two years, maybe this honor belongs to him.” A critic wrote in a column wrote so.

Basically, when it comes to Pixar's success, most of the media can't help but talk about its previous owner Jobs, or ridicule or ridicule or ridicule, although the degree is different, it is basically gloating.

But Jobs didn't care about this. When interviewed by the media, he just said that his focus was not on this, and he congratulated Adrian and Pixar on their success, and he was as graceful as he would see in the Internet.

"This is an era of technological explosion in computer technology, and countless people have achieved success in it. Steve is the best example. In fact, I can be sure that if Pixar had not been taken over at that time, the affirmation of these honors today It's Steve, he is a persistent and visionary person, I just have more luck than him." Adrian, who was forced but finally accepted an interview, also said some good things for Jobs.

Although not much, as long as Jobs can think of him when he needs it, it is a success. This is why Adrian listened patiently even if he didn’t understand something about Jobs every time he met each other at a reception. He knew why he was successful, and it was worth spending so much time waiting for an opportunity. of.

So even when he knew that the executives of various film companies had begun to pay more attention to him, he didn't take it too seriously.

For a long time, the combination of Adrian and Claude has given people the feeling that although Adrian is the chairman, he is indifferent to the company's development. The media basically has the final say on Claude, and Adrian only Just to make myself better and more free to make movies. But Pixar's success has made people see the other side. After all, Claude was not very optimistic about Pixar at the beginning. When he said this, he would inevitably mention that this was Adrian's request.

Now that the results have come out, almost everyone has lost their eyes. Obviously, Adrian's sharp vision is not limited to movies, so how many other suggestions does he have in the media exhibition?

This is normal. Although he always hides behind Claude, there are certain things that cannot be hidden as time goes by. But so what? His vision cannot be copied, unless there are others—maybe in the future, other companies will intervene after he takes a fancy to something, but that will only make them more passive.

Well, the topic is getting further away, let's go back to the screening. After exchanging greetings with David Finch, Adrian immediately greeted Morgan Freeman and Kevin Spacey respectively.

Both Freeman and Spacey have received high praise from film critics, especially Spacey, some people think that he is the most outstanding character in the whole film because he perfectly interprets the crazy and ruthless religious perverted killer .

"That's because he came on stage relatively late, and the characters are relatively individual." When talking about this, Spacey seemed very humble.

"Come on, Kevin, Gwyneth doesn't play more time than you, and the film critics only gave her a good review." Adrian said with a smile, and then looked at Gwyneth beside him teasingly.

Gwyneth, who was holding his arm, immediately gave him a reproachful look but didn't speak. Such blatant flirting made several people who had heard a little about Adrian's life couldn't help shaking in their hearts. shook his head.

"To be honest, Kevin, you are really good. I have seen the clips of that movie before, and I dare say it will not be worse than this one. Especially the huge contrast when the mystery is revealed at the end will definitely make many people Surprised." Adrian then said to Kevin Spacey.

He said that it was naturally the one he had promised to the other party at the beginning, as long as he was satisfied during the shooting, he would give him a more exciting script. This script is of course "The Usual Suspects", which played the audience from beginning to end, and did not reveal the boss behind the scenes until the last moment, which also allowed Spacey to win the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor.

Like the previous scripts, the outline of this story was placed in the screenwriters' union early, so he didn't have to worry about any conflicts, so he could let the company produce it leisurely.

"Thank you, that is indeed a very good story." Although Spacey said it simply, the gratitude in his eyes was not adulterated at all.

Adrian nodded with satisfaction in his heart, and then thought of something to look around: "By the way, where is Dan?"

"Hmm... I think he should probably be drinking at the... bar over there." It was Freeman who answered him, but the old black man had a strange look on his face, as if he had endured a lot of hard work, and he might laugh at any time.

Adrian knew why, but raised his eyebrows: "He's alone?"

"He's alone." Freeman nodded, and then several other people—Finch, Spacey, etc.—all showed the same weird look, and the other executive producer simply bowed his head.

"Okay, gentlemen, this is very bad." Adrian shook his head as a reminder, but couldn't help chuckling twice, and then held Gwyneth's hand: "Sorry, Gwyneth Winnie, I'm going alone for a while."

"No problem." Gwyneth smiled and returned her hand, looking considerate and well-behaved.

Passing through the crowd, Adrian quickly saw the figure sitting alone in front of the bar, holding a wine glass in a trance, a little troubled, depressed, bewildered, and sighing.

"A glass of martini." Adrian said to the bartender after sitting down next to Dennis.

After Dennis turned his head to see who it was, he sighed and turned back to drink the dull wine.

"Come on, Dan, what's so depressing, isn't it just a few photos?" Adrian said indifferently.

"Of course you can say that, not everyone can subdue women like you." Dennis sighed in distress, and then held his face.

During this period of time, the biggest scandal in Hollywood was not who broke up with who and who was dating who, but Dennis Knight, who was named as one of the most promising actors, stepped on two boats. Unfortunately, reporters caught pictures of him entering Jennifer Aniston's home, and thanks to the lessons learned by Adrian and Julia, dedicated paparazzi waited outside all night to finally capture him again out of the photo.

You know, a few years ago, the triangle relationship between him, Depp and Winona was covered up, and the fight between the two for Winona in the bar also caused a sensation at that time. Although Dennis finally got the beauty back, the paparazzi are still not optimistic about him and Winona, and fabricated a lot of gossip about the separation and reunion of the two.

Before Dennis and Jennifer collaborated in "Broken Arrow", paparazzi had already made a fuss about the relationship between the two, but there was no evidence, and Dennis was always avoiding each other. But if you walk too much at night, you will always encounter ghosts. Even Adrian's carefulness can't stop his luck, so he was photographed this time as a solid evidence.

It is conceivable how big a sensation this will cause. The third season of "Friends" will start broadcasting soon, and the ratings are as strong as ever. Jennifer has gained a lot of popularity with the role of Rachel Green. There are many actresses who are called sweethearts, but Jennifer is definitely worthy of the name. And Winona is now at the peak of her fame, her pure image is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and she also has a lot of movies. The fight between Dennis and Depp a few years ago was also talked about. Le Dao thinks this is where her charm lies.

Therefore, when this gossip was exposed by the tabloids with punctured pieces, and the website of Bosworth Films, which was still very simple in Adrian's opinion, was immediately filled with various messages.

There are also various debates emerging on various portal websites that have basically taken shape. One of the characteristics of the Internet age is that the feedback of information is very fast, and relevant movie reviews can often be found online as soon as the movie ends. Although the current technology is not yet in place, and there is still a long way to go before going online with mobile phones, the Internet age has begun after all. Even if it is not as good as the traditional channels for transmitting information for a while, it is enough to make people pay attention.

The current situation is that Jennifer's shadow mí and Winona's shadow mí are attacking Dennis's love interest together, and at the same time accusing each other - Winona's shadow mí accuses Jennifer of seducing Dennis, while Jennifer's shadow mí mocks Winona I can't even control my own man. And Dennis's shadow mí partly made peace, and partly refuted. In the end, Depp's shadow mií also joined in, mocking Winona and Dennis, all in all a mess.

And this is not only the case on the Internet, it is also the case in all media, but the network is the most concentrated. In addition, the overjoyed tabloids fanned the flames, saying for a while that Jennifer was cheated by a third party, and for a while saying that Dennis had moved on, and for a while saying that Winona cried to Depp that she might fall into her arms again, and so on. Everyone knows.

"What, did you quarrel with your Noni?" After taking the glass from the bartender and taking a sip, he asked in a relaxed and slightly joking tone.

"No." Dennis sighed softly.

"Then she must be very sad." Adrian immediately said in a regretful tone. It's okay for a woman to be angry at this time, even if there is a big quarrel. Not getting angry can only mean that things are very bad.

"I confided the truth to her, but she didn't say anything, just sat there...looking at me in despair." Dennis sighed depressedly, and his expression became more and more bored.

Adrian understood his feelings. Although Winona didn't feel very good about him, and he rarely asked about Dennis's private life, he also knew that the relationship between the two was very good. Unlike a bad boy like Depp, Dennis knows when to be considerate, when to be gentle, and when to express feelings directly. After all, his ability to perceive words and emotions has been practiced, and Adrian has taught him some things.

Women are always willing to be with a man who can understand themselves just right, so even though the two have quarreled a lot, their relationship is quite stable. With deep feelings and Winona's childhood life, it is normal for her to have such a reaction. From this aspect, Dennis really loves her.

However, Adrian would not really think that Dennis is such a dedicated person,

"You can't always be caught between two women, you have to be more active." He said that again immediately.

Dennis raised his head as if wanting to explain something, but soon realized who he was in front of, finally sighed helplessly and drank the whiskey in the glass.

"I'm serious. Since both sides can't let go, naturally we have to take the initiative. The longer it takes, the worse it will be." Adrian looked at him with a half-smile, "And you've already made a good start. "

After the gossip was flying all over the sky, Dennis quickly stated through a spokesperson that it was all his fault, and asked everyone not to disturb Winona and Jennifer, and took all the responsibility on himself.

Adrian knew that Jennifer had been chasing him—and he didn’t know what he liked—so he wanted to stand up and make it clear, but Dennis stopped her. A little mishandling of things will affect her popularity, especially her sweet and well-behaved image.

This move is very good. He resists all the responsibilities on his body and perfectly shows his masculinity. It would be even better if he can do it more carefully so that the public can see the hidden secrets a little bit. But he's reluctant to do that because it's so easy to refocus on the two women -- and he's a pretty good man for that.

The manager Roger persuaded him several times, which could easily affect his future. Finally, he had to tell Adrian, hoping that he could persuade him. The above situation was also learned from Roger.

Adrian did not persuade, but asked Roger to do what Dennis said. Although this society is more tolerant of women than men in many things, such as homosexuality; it is also more tolerant of men than women in many things, such as cheating. This matter may affect Dennis's popularity, but with Adrian here, are you afraid that he can't change his image? What's more, his plasticity is already very high. So he thought so be it, not only that, Adrian also thought of ways to add fire to it.

"Men, who hasn't thought about hugging them left and right? What you have to do now is to calm them down first, and then deeply comfort them." He said to Dennis in a gentle tone.

"I did that just because I didn't want Jenny to..." Dennis still wanted to struggle hard, but unfortunately he didn't believe what he said. If you really want to cut off the relationship with Jennifer, you won't fall into the opponent's offensive again and again.

"Well, I admit, I have the same feeling for Jane, and it's...very strong." He said somewhat self-destructively.

"It's about to start, let's go in first," Adrian didn't say any more, and pointed to the entrance of the inner hall in the distance.

This is not to say that he suddenly realized that he didn't intend to do this anymore, he just didn't want to squeeze Dennis too tightly, and this kind of thing also needs to be done properly. As for why you do it, it's simple, it's fun!
