King of Hollywood

Chapter 133 Expansion Again

Needless to say, what does Lawrence Fishburne and Keanu Reeves mean? Not long after the novel version of "The Matrix" was published, the producer contacted the film copyright issue, and there was an endless stream. Although most of them are small companies, and there are a few complete liars, there are also a few medium-sized film companies-big film companies will know who the author is after a little investigation, and naturally they will not dream of taking it from Adrian. It's copyright-so there are still a lot of discerning people in Hollywood.

Counting the time, it is time to put this movie on the screen, preferably after "Titanic". In this way, as one of the movies that opened the CG era, "The Matrix" will definitely leave a more important place in the history of movies a sum. Although the movie itself is full of allegories, and its status in film history is not low, the reason why Adrian moved ahead a few years is that the response of this version may not be as good as the original version after it is produced.

In order to hold the copyright in his hands early and not be said to be an animation inspired by the Japanese, coupled with a series of factors such as practicing writing, Adrian wrote the story as a novel and published it early, and completed all the trilogy Understand. So when the movie is popular, audiences have to go back and buy the original

Although Adrian modified part of the plot, some plots that are suitable for the movie are not suitable for the novel, and even made hints different from the movie in the ending, and the people who wrote Zion at the end of the ending cheered , when the long-awaited peace and freedom finally came, he added a little tail: an unremarkable man returned to the room and set up some instruments, followed by 1ù with a weird smile.

This ending is adapted from a joke I saw in my previous life. In my memory, before the third part of "The Matrix" was released, countless people quarreled on the Internet about what the final ending might be. The highest support rate is that the people of Zion are in another independent server, and they are still in the virtual space and are still under the control of the mother.

In order to be different from the movie, Adrian used this idea. Of course, he used the technique of leaving blank space, so that readers can’t be sure whether it is still in the virtual space, or that person is occupied by a virus like Agent Smith. body.

Even so, there are still many similarities with movies. The reason why movies adapted from novels are popular is because they embody classic or famous scenes, and because movies always add or delete content. The welcome movies adapted from novels are all well done in terms of additions and deletions, which make people have a different feeling from reading novels The King of the Great Zhou Dynasty will kill the gods and seal the throne at night, begging the demons and the world, the strongest abandoned young master, the royal family of the Zhou Dynasty will use martial arts to move the universe, will kill the gods at night, and the gods will seal the throne. The Throne of the Divine Seal Seeking Demons, Overlording the World, Nine Heavens, the Strongest Abandoned Young Da Zhou Royal Family. So for "The Matrix", once the movie mí watched the movie and bought the novel, then the next two basically lost their sense of mystery, which was undoubtedly a huge blow to the movie.

Although making it in advance can't completely improve the situation, Adrian didn't make any other plans. Anyway, there is no better way. What's more important is that the original version has been fully expanded by many people, and many people have even interpreted it. God knows how people will interpret the two different ending versions of something that the driver's siblings have never thought about before?

They have endless time, and they are eager to show themselves, so let them quarrel, Adrian said to himself. Maybe it will turn out to be a good thing later.

"It will be very hard at the beginning, but once you get used to it, you will get used to it," Adrian said in relief to Monica, who was quite tired after training, "It's a good thing, it can make your body fully You can keep in shape better. Of course, if you really don’t adapt, I will ask them to reduce your training first, and then increase it slowly. Anyway, there is plenty of time.”

"It's okay, I can persevere," Monica rejected his offer, "I'm not joking, Ed, this bit of training won't trouble me."

Seeing her aggressive appearance, Adrian didn't stop her, but just smiled: "Okay, how about this, how about I give you a massage when I go back?"

"Really?" Monica had a look of disbelief, her eyes filled with the message "What dirty things are you thinking of?"

"Although I am not as good as those professional nurses, it is still possible to relieve the fatigue of the lower muscles." Adrian laughed and did not go any further to explain.

He has always done things properly. He said that it was just a massage. Although the touch of his hands was quite good, he didn't do anything else. In the end, he just slept with Monica in his arms. If he didn't have this bit of self-control, how could he have achieved the status he is today?

Thinking about her role "once" in "The Matrix" and comparing it with the current one, it's an interesting feeling, which can't help Adrian's heart. Monica is still very suitable for the role of Trinity. She has also worked as a model. She has always been well-proportioned. No matter what is difficult, the makeup artist can do it with a little help.

As for the pair of buttocks that everyone admires, there is no pressure. In a world where the rules of physics can be changed at will, this problem will not hinder her from showing her agility at all, and maybe it will make her more visible.

To be honest, when deciding to cast Monica as the female lead, Adrian originally wanted to change the other three main characters as well. Originally, the male lead was Joaquin Phoenix, but Reeves and Rui Fan were the same. He is a good friend, and Adrian is more familiar with Reeves, so he still looked for him. As expected, Reeves agreed immediately.

As for the role of Murphys, among the most outstanding black stars in the hands of the brokerage company, neither Samuel Jackson nor Denzel Washington are suitable. Jackson's appearance is a bit "evil" feeling, and His broken voice is not suitable for a character like Murphys. Washington's appearance is decent enough, but a bit too decent. Not until then. As for Will Smith, he was directly out of the throne of God Seal, too young to play the feeling of Murphys at all.

So after much deliberation, I finally found Lawrence Fishburne. Of course, Adrian admitted that there were factors influenced by the original version, but Reeves was still the protagonist, but that was also one of the reasons.

Although the two protagonists have not changed, the other roles can be adjusted. Adrian came up with an interesting idea when he read the script of the first part with reference to his memory. As for the specifics, he will know later.

Time passed quickly, and the summer vacation soon passed, and the media once again successfully expanded, but this time they failed to make the front pages of the financial media, and many economic commentators were not very optimistic about their acquisition of Marvel Comics. Everyone knows that this comic company, which has multiple comic characters and once rivaled comics, is indeed in a very difficult situation. The sales of comics are constantly decreasing, and all investments are at a loss. Adjustments and reforms will sooner or later be sold out.

"But I don't think so. Marvel Comics still has a lot of potential to tap. Although I am not good at specific administrative management, I believe that I should have enough say in the production of movies and entertainment." In the conference room of Marvel, Ah Derian is sitting on the podium and talking.

This was a meeting after Marvel was acquired by the media. Apart from Adrian and Claude, the participants were Marvel executives, directors, and well-known authors who own the copyright of some comic characters, such as Stan Lee.

"Of course, before that, Surprise must make adjustments first. After all, it is indeed a bit bloated now, and many departments and head offices are duplicated. However, I guarantee that the feelings of everyone here will be fully considered during the integration. The holy king makes the holy king, kills the gods in the night, kills the throne of the gods, seeks the demons, proud of the world, the strongest abandoned young master, the royal family of Zhou, kills the gods in the night, seeks the throne of the gods, seeks the demons, proud of the world, the strongest abandoned young masters Yin Throne seeks the devil, proud of the world, the strongest abandoned young master of the Nine Heavens, the Great Zhou Royal Family's god-making general, and kills the gods at night " Adrian continued.

His main job is to cheer up the people present, to convince them that the future is bright and the road is tortuous. According to Claude, if he doesn't make good use of Adrian's eloquence and the word "miracle" in the title of miracle director, then he must be the most stupid idiot in the world.

"Then a is for you, Director Miracle. If the promise is not fulfilled, I will seek justice for my children." After the meeting, the old man Stan Lee joked to Adrian like this.

This old man is very humorous and funny, he is known as an old urchin, and most of the superheroes that have been put on the screen in the 21st century are from his writings, he belongs to the kind of person who can maintain an optimistic attitude at any time, in the Marvel Comics recession During this period of time, I have been encouraging everyone to get better. Even if Surprise was inevitably bought by the media, I still said cheerfully, "Maybe this is a good thing"-of course, it is also a good time to fight for rights and interests. Ambiguous, several sharp questions were also raised at the meeting before.

"No problem, within three years at most, Surprise will usher in a more eye-catching development." Adrian promised without hesitation, and then added: "As long as I'm here."

Stan Lee’s reaction to this was to shrug his shoulders. Not all critics are not optimistic about the media’s acquisition of Marvel Comics. There are also several articles explaining the changes that the Marvel director may bring to Marvel. After all, Adrian’s achievements are placed there. But from a common sense point of view, who can maintain their advantages for a long time? It's not impossible for the boat to capsize in the gutter if one is not careful. Stan Lee's reaction like this is already considered good. If it were someone else, they might still be praising him on the surface, and turned around with a sneer ready to read a joke.

"Are you really confident that you can make Surprise turn around in three years?" Claude asked jokingly after leaving the company.

"What do you think?" Adrian asked back.

"It's hard to say. Although I have learned a lot before, I was still surprised after looking through their business situation. It's a muddy mess." Claude shrugged.

"And bsp; "This can't be compared, the most is poor management, the entire management level is still very good, as long as there are relatively good programs, the downward trend can be stabilized and then recovered. And surprise, it can be said that the goal of the management is very and unrealistic to expand. To clean up this mess, I am afraid that many departments and personnel will be abolished. You have given me a problem this time, Ed. Claude sighed.

"You can cut those irrelevant departments and personnel first. As for other places, observe first, and then make adjustments after making profits. At that time, they will definitely have nothing to say." Adrian sat in the car while talking .

"I'm not joking, Crowe. If it wasn't for the release of "Titanic" to collect more specific responses, it would take at most two years to alleviate the embarrassment of surprise." Adrian said and poured A glass of champagne was handed to Claude, "The comic era of "Spider-Man" can cause a lot of wind, and the movie adaptation can also be done."

"Have you already chosen the subject to be adapted?" Claude raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"Almost, most of them are produced by Stan Lee. Spider-Man, Men of War, Fantastic Four, etc., may not all be produced by our film company. I have more arrangements."

"Okay, okay, these are things you are good at, and only you can spend 200 million UA—no, it's 240 million now—to invest in a movie, I really don't know how you deal with Ray Gert's."

Seeing Claude's sigh, Adrian couldn't help laughing, thinking that he was the only one in this era who dared to spend so much money to invest in a movie, and he was quite proud, even if Reggett said several times.

Reggett has been managing his finances in an orderly manner for the past few years. You must know that in addition to owning the media, Adrian also has a lot of investments, all of which are in charge of Reggett. Although he is serious and unsmiling, he has always been loyal to him, and has reminded Adrian more than once not to delegate too much power to Claude.

This is by no means sowing dissension. You must know that Paul Allen, as Bill? shares of Microsoft. There are no constant friends in business, especially when the business is getting bigger and bigger.

But Adrian and Claude are different. First of all, the Kewell family and Ron Rhys family can be regarded as a love affair of several generations, and the relationship between Adrian and Claude is not comparable to that of ordinary partners. ;Secondly, Adrian planted the foreshadowing early on. What he predicted when he persuaded Claude to join the team is now being realized one by one. In addition, his extraordinary vision and achievements in entertainment are beyond him. Added enough power to speak; again, although Adrian is not good at administrative management and financial things, he is not ignorant. He reads every monthly report in detail, and he also asks about the company's affairs at any time. In addition, Charlie After a few years, he has been thoroughly honed, and he is a very good secretary assistant, so there is no need to worry about any mistakes.

More importantly, as his financial advisor, Leggett also keeps an eye on these. I have to admit that although there are not many people left by the father who has never met, they are all impeccable in ability and loyalty.

"Just wait and see, Crowe," Adrian finally said meaningfully, "All my predictions a few years ago have come true one by one, and the current one will come true sooner or later."

Yes, it will happen sooner or later, but that also needs to continue to work hard. By the end of September, the post-production of "Eyes Wide Shut" entered the middle. Adrian is not Kubrick, and he does not need to edit over and over again to pursue perfection, so his editing speed has always been very fast, if it is not considered He wants to make his aura more dazzling without overdoing it. He may have already considered the release at the end of the year.

Adrian only met Nicole again when Cruzoff fù participated in dubbing work, but they always came and left together, and there were not many places that needed dubbing. But, there is always a chance.

"I'm going to take a step first, my dear. You can go back by yourself when you finish your work. I'll ask David to drive me there and I'll come back to pick you up. If you don't see him when you're done, you can wait a little longer." After making a phone call, Cruise said this to Nicole.

"Can't you just wait for me?" Nicole wanted to keep him.

"I've been waiting for you for the past few days, but you still have at least ten minutes to play. Things over there are a little urgent, and it's just a day." Cruise's tone was obviously impatient.

Nicole watched her husband move his mouth, but didn't speak anymore, just watched him leave here. Then, before Cruise left, Adrian half-forced Nicole into the lounge with his back.

"Please...Ed...don't do this..." Nicole, who was pressed against the wall, closed her eyes and twisted her head to avoid Adrian's gentleness, but no matter how she looked at it, it seemed that she was trying to find a way to take the initiative welcome.

"Why? Didn't you enjoy the time of filming?" Adrian's voice was a little joking.

"At that time...it was different from now..." Nicole panted slightly, and her resistance became weaker and weaker.

"I don't see any difference?" Adrian laughed, and then gently blew into her ear: "When I was editing recently, I watched the love scene in the secret room every day. "

Nicole immediately tensed up, a trace of panic flashed in her half-opened eyes, and her breathing became irregular.

"Worried, no one has seen it except me." Adrian knew what she was thinking, and immediately chuckled.

Angry and anxious Nicole blushed with anger, but before she could do anything, Adrian continued in her ear: "You know, although the light is not very bright, the color is relatively It's simple, and the effect is relatively poor, but you were really very charming at that time, showing everything you have, from the inside to the outside."

Nicole's body softened immediately, and Adrian immediately took her without hesitation. fa.
