King of Hollywood

Chapter 84 This is the Vision of Director Miracle

"Adrian is crazy" This is the most widely circulated sentence in major film companies in late August. All executives, managers and bosses will actively or passively talk about it at meetings, luncheons and receptions. this matter.

In this era when US$100 million is considered a super-large investment, someone actually spends US$200 million to make a movie, and it is still shooting the well-known story of the Titanic. If it is not stupid, then it must be crazy. Adrian's talent and vision are also well known, so he will only be the latter.

"Adrian obviously thinks that his wealth is too much to touch, so he can squander it recklessly." Michael Eisner said this with a sneer on his face, without hiding his attitude.

"But you have to admit, Mike, he is quite courageous. Such a big deal is not something ordinary people can do." Summer Redstone, chairman of Viacom, joked with a smile, and the old opponent was thinking How could he not guess what.

"Of course, Adrian is always unpredictable. Only people support him. It is not surprising to make such an amazing move." Matthew Sewell, the person in charge of Warner, said and looked at Claude next to him. "Really, Claude."

"It doesn't matter to me. He invested in his personal capacity." Claude, who was well-dressed while holding a wine glass, shrugged. , the expression change is also obvious.

Indeed, this is still not an investment by a film company, but Adrian raised 200 million in his own capacity to squander Cameron. This kind of handwriting may not be considered unprecedented, but it must be unprecedented. Although it was raised, Adrian has always been very relaxed when talking about this matter in front of reporters, and he did not pretend to be calm at all. From this we can see how much his actual net worth will be? And how much money the media can use, so many people began to be less optimistic about Disney.

"You should really attend the reception that day, Eisner's face is really wonderful." Claude said with a laugh in the phone call to Adrian, it was very refreshing to be able to vent the anger at the beginning of the year.

"Although it's very happy, don't be careless. Let's celebrate after you get it." Adrian reminded him. He knew that Claude would not be careless sitting in that position, but a moderate reminder is always good.

Besides, it is not only because of the huge investment of 200 million yuan, but also because of the reputation that Adrian has built over the years. It is precisely because of the "Miracle director's keen vision", although the entertainment media thinks it is crazy to invest 200 million US dollars in a movie, they still try to use words carefully when commenting.

At the beginning, the British media questioned him that it was a big mistake to shoot "Howard's End", but what happened in the end? Not to mention Al Pacino, who finally had a long-cherished wish because of him, and Tom Hanks, who is now the best actor in a leading role, as well as Jane De Bont, Michael Bay, David Fincher Wait for a director who is optimistic about him and succeeds.

Now he is optimistic about Cameron again, and he has raised such a huge amount of funds. If he fails, he will be happy to beat the dog in the water. But if he succeeds, then the original cynicism will become a sharp irony of himself. They are very thick-skinned, but they still can't bear it a few times.

"Maybe we can wish him good luck. After all, this is the first time in film history. Maybe it will really bring a surprise." The kind made up by Luan also left such a sentence after various guesses to pave the way for themselves.

In addition to the above factors, Adrian was also very cooperative in appearing on a certain talk show—not his own TV station or Fox’s—and declared: “James and I talked about the idea of ​​the Titanic a long time ago, and we We all think that we can try some new things in an all-round way, such as technology and stories. He specially rented a submarine to go deep into the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean to observe the wreck of the Titanic at a close distance. At that time, I couldn’t make it because of other things. Sorry. I think, living in this world always has to try something new that no one has tried before. Some people like mountaineering and want to conquer steep mountains all over the world; some people like diving and want to visit all the seabeds they can go to ; and I want to make the most classic and grand film in the world. This road will definitely not be smooth, but since I have decided, I will stick to it. As for the final result, it does not matter, the key lies in the process.”

Such a statement naturally won a lot of applause, even if it is so, it is inevitable that there will be alternative voices. For example, during the last audience time, an audience member called him and asked him: Is it too luxurious to spend 200 million dollars to shoot a movie? Why not donate the money to charity so that more people can be helped.

"Charity is a long-term job. Ma'am, I have several charitable funds. I donate a considerable amount every year and trace the use of each fund. You don't have to worry about it. As for investing in movies, I think These are two things that go hand in hand, what do you think?" Adrian answered very tactfully, and immediately received warm applause again, and this episode was also recognized by many ordinary people after it was broadcast.

"What Adrian does is his business. Although this unprecedented investment is very surprising, he has never disappointed, hasn't he?" A certain filmmaker said in an interview.

Therefore, although this matter is widely known, it can be regarded as a publicity for the "Titanic" that has just started filming, but there are not many negative descriptions. This is the influence of "the keen eye of the director of miracles"

"This is the vision of director Miracle, you should believe it." Adrian said.

But the answer was a plop, as the water splashed, Liv giggled and shuttled like a dexterous mermaid in the swimming pool. Adrian shook his head with a smile, moved his strong body, and then jumped in, pawing the water with a splash, and caught up with Liv within a few breaths.

The girl screamed and wanted to run away faster, but Adrian didn't give her this chance, so she rushed forward and hugged Liv tightly. The girl smiled and started to fight with him in the water. The sound of splashing echoed in the room of the indoor swimming pool, which seemed very lively.

"Okay, enough is enough." After Liv exhausted her strength and hugged Adrian in the book like an octopus, he said in a teasing tone, "Look, your bikini is about to fall off. gone."

The slap in the mouth was so big that the triangular fabric had been pulled apart during the fight, and the stimulated little grape was still standing firm in the air.

"I knew to look here." Lifu said coquettishly, but she reached behind her back and untied her lingerie, held it in her hands and shook it a few times before throwing a string of water drops to the shore of the swimming pool. After doing this, it seemed that it was not enough, and then stepped on the water to remove the bottom, shook it in his hand, and threw it to the bank of the pool.

"You're on me, Liv, this will make me very dangerous." Adrian warned half-truthfully, he was no stranger to Liv's bold behavior.

The girl made a grimace, and immediately shook her breasts, wrapped her arms around Adrian's neck and closed his mouth, while her legs clamped his waist and gently twisted her lower body. However, after noticing Adrian's reaction, he immediately let go of his hands, giggled, and swam away, looking as if he had succeeded in his plan, so weird and very charming.

"That doesn't matter to me, mom doesn't think I'm suitable for an R-rated comedy right now." Liv said, she swam to the corner, put her hands on the shore, raised her tuǐ to the water, and kicked up. It is looming under the shimmering light.

"But baby, it's not easy to choose the right movie for you now." Adrian wiped his face and then swam up to her again, grabbed her legs and put them on his waist.

"Really?" Liv asked with a nonchalant smile.

"First of all, you are too tall, so a lot of teenage net campus movies are not suitable." Adrian hugged her, stroked her face and said, "Secondly, your acting skills are too young, those who are full of scheming You can’t play the image well; next, you are still a little young, and some roles are good, but you have to wait a few years before you can fully conform to them; finally, although there is a role that is very suitable for you now, and I I specially adjusted the plot for you, but now I can't let go of the suitable director, and I don't feel at ease if I change it to another one, so..."

He shrugged and didn't continue, but Liv became interested in the fourth point, and a curious look appeared in her blue eyes: "The plot was specially adjusted for me? May I know what kind of content it is?"

"Oh, sorry, I can't say, I want to surprise you," Adrian said, watching her eyes darken, "I hope you will like it then, anyway...after all... "

He still didn't finish his words, but Liv had already realized something, her expression changed slightly, and her white teeth were lightly biting her net. Fortunately, she was overwhelmed soon, and brought the topic back with a smile: "Simply put, only the R-rated comedy "Wedding Crashers" is suitable for me?"

The tone is still teasing, lazy and indifferent, but if you listen carefully, you can still hear something more.

"Although I don't want to admit it, it's true," Adrian shrugged, "Well, Liv, although this is an R-rated comedy, the heroine is still a pure and lovely image, and there are not many vulgar ones. The lines, and the image in "Sleepy Hollow", although not exactly similar, but it suits you very well"

"Ha, I finally figured it out, you're saying I can only make hua vases, aren't you?" Liv pursed her lips and said dissatisfied.

"What's wrong with being a hua vase? You don't need to think so much, you don't need to care about other people's opinions, and it's easier to position yourself." Adrian held her face, "not to mention you are so beautiful No matter how much you show off your acting skills, you will be called a hua vase by the critics. Therefore, it is better to make hua vases for a few years to earn enough popularity, and then at a small cost Hone your acting skills in movies—after all, you haven’t learned it systematically, and your talent is not very outstanding—and then consider the following things.”

"That's why you want me to make a vase." The pursed mouth still didn't let go, making people really want to take a bite.

"Of course, I can keep you by your side because you made a vase." Adrian pinched her chin and said with a half-smile.

"It's really greedy." The girl snorted softly, and the legs clamped around his waist began to exert force again. Adrian immediately hugged Liv unceremoniously and felt pain.

Speaking of it, it's not that he doesn't want to give her a semi-hua bottle role that can show some acting skills, but there are really not many roles suitable for Liv now. As I said before, her height, age, and acting skills are all her bottlenecks. If she really wants to act, it is not impossible, but the effect may be greatly reduced. Although Adrian has a memory bank, it can't be so 1ang, right? Maximizing profits is the best choice.

As for the movie, it is suitable, but a certain director is still busy with a new work. It is not impossible to change people. Jane de Bont is very suitable, but also considering the maximization of interests, Adrian still chooses the other Postponed. Therefore, only the R-rated comedy "Wedding Crashers" is more suitable to choose from. Xìng comedies are the same as Qingnet campus comedies. The most stable, even if it is a big sale, it is not as good as those big productions, but basically there will be no loss. As for vulgar sex comedies, as long as the story is good, they can easily become box office champions, but most of them are shoddy, but even if they don't lose too much, they can also be used as video tapes.

So even if the heroine of "Wedding Crashers" is not very good, Adrian still settled for Liv. At least the movie still has a box office. In short, as long as this embarrassing period passes, it will be fine.

"Ed" Just as Liv was kissing Adrian while rubbing her legs, a cold voice suddenly came from the door of the swimming room, and Charlize stood there in casual attire at some point, facing He looked at them blankly.

"What's the matter?" Adrian turned around and asked indifferently, while Liv was willing to watch Charlize snort indifferently, clinging to his body even though she didn't speak.

"Sarah is here, she wants to see you." Charlize said in a calm tone, then turned and left without stopping for a moment.

Adrian, who was a little surprised, wanted to ask a few more questions, but before he could speak, Charlize's back disappeared, and he could only mutter in the end: "Really, can't you leave after explaining everything clearly?"

"This is not the first time, does your secretary always talk to you like this?" Liv smiled meaningfully,

"Occasionally, Charlize knows how to measure." Having said that, Adrian raised his eyebrows, and squeezed her firm softness, "Don't you know this?"

"I also know that she has been on netg with you, and which poses she likes the most." Liv said with a tired voice, her eyes did not let go, "So she is jealous, so why don't we go out for a few minutes at night .”

Speaking of which, her lower body began to shake again, and she hadn't gone down after being teased, and her movement was no less than adding fuel to the fire. But Adrian just let her go, and smiled apologetically: "Sorry, Liv, Sarah rarely comes to the villa directly from the Divine Throne, I think she must have something important, so I have to go and see her. "

Liv immediately showed dissatisfaction, but dissatisfaction was dissatisfaction. She also knew that what Adrian had decided would not change, so she followed him out of the water unhappily.

"Hi, Sarah." Adrian quickly changed his clothes and came to the living room, greeting Sarah in simple attire.

She was wearing a white T-shirt, a denim jacket, black trousers and leather shoes underneath, and her hair was tied into a ponytail hanging behind her head, looking lively and playful.

"Ed." Sarah, who seemed preoccupied at first, immediately became happy after Adrian arrived. She jumped up and opened her arms as if she wanted to throw herself into his arms, but she thought of something before taking two steps. stopped.

But Adrian didn't care so much, and immediately took two steps to hug her in his arms, kissed her face lovingly, and then smiled at Mrs. Galen who passed by.

Mrs. Galen sighed and said nothing. Ever since Adrian kept bringing one woman home after another and was still living with the secretary at home, she knew that the previous things had started again, but it was more serious than before. I have never had a bigger belly than a woman. But then again, her career is far different than before. Even if Mrs. Galen doesn't pay much attention to the entertainment industry, she knows that Adrian has a reputation as a miracle director, so why should she care so much?

"What's the matter?" Adrian asked after sitting down again.

"Hmm..." Sarah pursed her lips, "You know, "I Know What You Did Last Summer" has finished filming, although...but...but..."

She was a little annoyed and waved her fist, but couldn't continue talking.

But Adrian had already guessed her thoughts, and immediately laughed: "Simply put, you are still a little bit overwhelmed, aren't you?"

"It's not..." Sarah hurriedly wanted to defend herself, but she lowered her head in embarrassment when she saw Adrian's eyes, "You know, the filming is over..."

"You are Sarah, right?" Liv, who had finally changed her clothes, came to the living room at this time, and held out her hand to Sarah with a smile, "I am Liv, Liv Taylor, Ed may have mentioned to you pass me."

"Well... yes, it's nice to meet you." Sarah, who was holding hands with her, said against her will. She rarely meets other women in Adrian, except Charlize, who can't be avoided, so this is theirs encounter.

"Okay, Sarah, let's talk in another place." Before Liv could speak, Adrian stood up immediately, gave her a look that didn't allow Luan to come, and walked upstairs with Sarah who stood up go.

Liv curled her lips, and looked at the backs of the two with a sly smile.
