King of Hollywood

Chapter 158 Ready

Without any suspense, Keira agreed, but in the past two years, her personality has not changed much, and she is still so proud of her inferiority complex. Plus there is an agreement ahead, how could she give up and admit defeat.

This is exactly what Adrian wanted to see, so even if he had a little regret, he didn't pay too much attention to it. The role he agreed to give after passing the test was the stand-in of "Star Wars Prequels". Lucas started filming in 1996, and the result became a test question.

But it doesn't matter, there will always be roles, and besides, she has a smart mother. Shawen is indeed very eye-catching. It can be seen from her choice of "Shakespeare in Love" instead of "Elizabeth", because "Elizabeth" is based on history. Let's start again, and "Shakespeare in Love" has a basically completed basic script, and she only needs to modify it according to Adrian's wishes.

That's right, the script of "Shakespeare in Love" was basically completed by Mark Hanman in the middle of the 1990s, and it was almost shot in 1991. It was planned to invite Julia to be the protagonist of v, but Edward Zvi, who was the director Ke was dissatisfied with the original script and planned to invite Tom Stoppard to revise it, which caused a conflict with Mark Hanman, and there were some problems with the investors, so it died prematurely.

Then, the script fell into the hands of Miramax, but it was refrigerated because it was not optimistic about the prospects. Later, the media acquired Miramax. Like Bosworth, Adrian regularly checked the script in their hands. The same is true for New Line, so the script ended up in his hands.

After going round and round, he still came to himself. It was absolutely impossible to say that it was not God’s will, so Adrian accepted the gift with a smile, and Gwyneth and Blanchett took it together with "Elizabeth". come out. As a boss, it's a simple matter of wanting the rights to a script that's been refrigerated, and the Weinsteins did it pretty quickly. They're very comfortable with taking full rights and kicking the original holders aside. It's so skillful.

It only took 1a a few days to get this done, and then Adrian was ready to go back to Los Angeles. Emma was naturally very unhappy about this, and Adrian coaxed her for a long time, and then promised that she could come to the United States as long as she had the summer vacation, and then she didn't go back until the vacation was over, and the little guy smiled.

"This is your promise, and you are not allowed to renege." Before leaving, Emma poked Adrian vigorously with her little finger, and her mouth was pouted.

"Don't worry, I swear to God." Adrian had to coax again and again, and then sighed in his heart. With this troublemaker, this summer vacation may not be too easy.

Although the filming of "The Matrix" was coming to an end, after Adrian came back, the end time was delayed by a few days-compared to his usual speed, this movie is already relatively slow. Yuan Heping did not live up to his expectations and directed the subway fight scene with full tension, but the problem is that he has directed too many Hong Kong films after all, and it is the first time he has participated in a Hollywood film production, and some parts are too Hong Kong-style.

"It's not that I don't like it, Yuan, you know, it's an American movie." Adrian said to him dumbfounded.

Fortunately, this problem is not particularly serious. After watching the video tape, Adrian and his assistants had a good discussion, re-shot about a dozen shots, and then just pay attention to editing and post-production effects. The set that happened to be built has not been dismantled for the time being, so it didn't take too long. As long as the last shootout scene in the building when Neo and Trinity rescued Murphys is completed, "The Matrix" can be closed.

As some of the coolest places in the whole movie, this scene that combines kung fu and gun battles is very exciting, although many people laughed at "the pillars of the building are probably made of sponge", "Neo and Trinity's hit The rate is too shameful" and the like, but it doesn't reduce the impact of these shots.

It's just that the movie looks very enjoyable, but it's not so easy to shoot. Just the action of Neo jumping up to kill the last SWAT and landing with a cool posture, I took about fifteen or six times repeatedly. Either Reeves’s movement was not standard enough when he landed, or the windbreaker turned over, or almost Lost sunglasses.

"It's not so hard to shoot bullets." Reeves couldn't help complaining after another ng.

"Really? Then maybe we can reconsider and add a bullet time action here." Adrian said immediately.

"No, I think this is very good. This little problem doesn't bother me at all." Reeves yelled immediately, and supported his waist with his hands, and there was a burst of laughter all around.

With Adrian's foresight in bullet time and Yuan Heping's dedication, this action is more perfect and exquisite than the original version, even if it is still the original version. But this made Reeves suffer. He often had to bend his knees to almost 100 degrees and blow in front of the blower for dozens of minutes. After Adrian called to stop, he grinned and raised his waist. Those who knew knew that it was caused by making a movie, but those who didn't know thought that he was too happy to exercise on the Internet.

"Are you okay, Monica?" After teasing Reeves, Adrian came to the protagonist V.

"It's not bad, it's just a small injury." Monica, who was drinking, smiled, "I didn't say it was easier than shooting bullets."

"Don't worry, even if you say it, I won't have any dissatisfaction, you are, he is him." Adrian raised his hands, and then asked again: "It's really all right."

In the previous filming, there was a shot of Monica stepping on the wall and flipping upside down. After two or three shots, she accidentally stepped on and slipped. Even though there was a steel wire hanging, her ankle was still slightly sprained.

"Really," Monica looked at him amusedly, and said simply, "it couldn't be better."

The soft pair swayed slightly immediately, and it was really rough. With Monica's figure, this set of tights couldn't be more suitable.

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this," Adrian changed the subject, "Claude asked me out tonight, would you like to accompany me?"

"Of course," Monica looked at him strangely, "You know, I won't refuse your request."

"Yes, I know, but..." Adrian shrugged, "You may not like this party."

"Really? What is it?"

"boxing."

In the noisy field, the screen hanging in the middle is showing the picture of the ring from different angles, while in the field below, a big man is attacking one after another, straight punches, uppercuts, and landed on the other side one after another. On one body, every time he hits a heavy blow, the surrounding supporters will cheer loudly, venting their enthusiasm with howls.

The one who was beaten didn't seem to have the slightest ability to fight back, but those familiar with him could see that his arms above his head would make small adjustments from time to time. Although there were many fists falling on his body, the damage caused was not as expected. that big. Moreover, as soon as he saw the right opportunity, he stepped forward and hugged the opponent, and then waited for the referee to come and separate him. Using such tricks, he used up the opponent's physical strength.

Finally, when the passive one was about to be pushed into the corner, he turned around and jumped out suddenly. Although the opponent had predicted this move and immediately punched him, he turned around and came back immediately, followed by a punch A heavy uppercut hit the opponent's face, knocking him to the ground immediately, louder cheers rang out, and the passionate people applauded the uppercut.

It's a pity that the match didn't end. Just when the referee counted down to eight, the boxer who fell to the ground finally stood up. Although he looked a little dizzy from the beating, he also knew that defense was the key now, so he survived the opponent's torrential attack until the end of the game.

"It's a pity. If Philip works harder, he will win." Claude, who was sitting in the front row, sighed after the voice behind him became quieter.

"You have praised him many times in one night, Crowe, to be honest, how much did you bet on him?" Adrian asked with a smile.

"Not much, it's only 50,000 dollars. Daniela helped me press it." Claude smiled and patted the V friends around him, or it would be more appropriate to say that a companion.

With the joining of Cindy Crawford and Claudia Schiffer, Victoria's Secret's sales are also rising, and an exclusive model team has basically been established. The person next to Claude is named Dan Nila Pastova's Czech model has become one of the signed models, and he is having a great time.

"Okay, then I'll help you pray for him to win too," Adrian said with a smile, and then looked at Monica beside him, "I should have listened to your bet if I knew it earlier."

"The regret is over now, Ed." Monica replied with a smile, but her face was not very good.

Adrian shrugged. It's not that he doesn't know how to gamble. In fact, he gambles on many things. It's just that he's used to gambling after collecting enough information instead of pinning his hopes on luck. That's why The reason he rarely goes to Las Vegas.

"What's wrong?" He noticed her abnormality.

"It's a little noisy." Monica replied in a low voice, "But it's okay, as long as you are by my side is enough."

"It will be over soon, don't worry." Adrian held her hand and said comfortingly, that's all he could do for the time being.

This kind of place will not have a private room, but how can you feel the martial arts in the private room? Demons are proud of the world, the strongest abandonment of the ninth heaven, the king of the royal family of the Zhou Dynasty, the martial arts, the heavenly general, kill the gods and the gods, the throne of the gods, the king of the demons The fiery atmosphere of the little Zhou royal family coming to the scene? How can we better appreciate the boxer's contest of strength and strength? Although boxing is not as popular as some major ball games in the United States, it is also a popular sport with many fans, as can be seen from the sensation caused by Stallone's "Rocky". So, in order to feel the martial arts, the holy king of heaven and earth created the holy king. The king will kill the gods at night and ask for the throne of the gods and the seal of the gods. Wudong Qiankun will kill the gods and seal the throne in the night, seek the devil, proud of the world, the strongest abandoned young man, the royal family of the Zhou Dynasty Booked a front row seat.

Adrian neither hates nor likes boxing. If he wants to say, he appreciates technical sports more, which probably has something to do with his frequent thinking about problems. But now he just hoped that it would end quickly, so that Monica around him could have a better life.

Probably God heard his voice, and the game started again, and finally decided the winner in the last few seconds, and the () that Claude bet on was finally brought down to the ground. In the whole game, he only had the advantage in the first two rounds, and then most of the time he defended and counterattacked. Although he did a good job in the round just now, he was a step late and failed to completely kill his opponent, giving him a chance to breathe. The opponent's coach took the opportunity to arrange a tactic to deal with him. If he doesn't commit a crime in the next round, he might still have a chance to win. Unfortunately...

"It's a pity, you lost $50,000." Adrian touched Claude with a smile while holding a cup.

This is a bar near the game field, it is very gorgeous, it is specially for those who come to watch various games, and they naturally come here for a drink after the game is over.

"It's only 50,000 yuan." Claude didn't take it seriously, he glanced at him meaningfully, and then at Monica and Daniela who were chatting not far away, "Anyway, we will meet soon Earn tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of times."

"It seems that you are ready?" Adrian raised his eyebrows, this is the most important theme tonight.

"Of course, I have been watching very closely. I have to admit that this guy is a genius. When most people can't see clearly, he is already like a cheetah. He hides himself very well and is ready to wait. Already." Claude said in admiration, "I bet, wait until the first ten days of next month at most."

"Then I'll wait for your good news," Adrian drank the whiskey in his hand, "However, you have to prepare for the company's affairs."

"I know, Laverne is very good, don't worry about having him as the host, besides, I just need to pay close attention to it at the very beginning." Claude laughed, "But you, I can still understand the former of the two acquisitions." , but what about the latter?"

"I don't believe you don't see the benefits of instant messaging." Adrian shrugged.

"Of course I understand, but the question is how to do it." Claude spread his hands.

"That's a matter for the future. There is only one thing now, and that is to occupy a large enough market," Adrian explained a little, "That's why I asked them to drop those silly things in 1a and try to Make it simple and fast, just attract users in the first place. I know they are dissatisfied, but I don't care, it doesn't matter if they are fired, the software program is not something complicated, what we want is the user base .”

"But there must be a limit after all, isn't there?"

"Yeah, but it's not up to you or me, it's on Microsoft."

"Microsoft?"

"Yes, think about it, if one day Microsoft wants to acquire this software, should we sell it or not? If we sell it, with their style, will it allow us to take the initiative? Especially in terms of software? Don't sell it What if they offered the same software and bundled it like e did?"

"...I see." Claude nodded after thinking for a long time, and then drank the liquid in the cup. "I have to admit that in addition to film production, you also have enough vision on the Internet."

The two were talking about this instant messaging software, which is naturally Q. With the advantage of foresight, this software was found by Adrian's venture capital company just after the three Israelis were released. Then it was a trick of switching right and left, so this software was bsp after the number of users exceeded 10,000; To be honest, the direct benefits that this software can bring are not many, but the indirect benefits are very good Potential, such as that huge user base. Although Q is so simple, but because of its own problems, if it is not for its own problems, the interface will be extremely complicated and unfriendly, so most users will be lost, even if other companies also develop the same software, even if Microsoft bundles it. m, and won't let Q lose too much. And even so, this software still occupies part of the market because it is an instant messaging software.

Think about it, after the technology becomes more and more mature in a few years, when all the plans are in place one by one, what kind of subtle influence can be produced on these users, and what kind of publicity can be carried out

Of course, out of bad taste, he immediately registered the image of the penguin, and all over the world will not let it go. So if Ma 1a wants to copy the cottage, then he has to change his image and name. Anyway, this is a very simple matter. Can we still have it without QQ, and China will not allow instant messaging software from other countries to occupy the market. , Supporting local people is also a sure thing.

As for the other acquisition, it's not a big deal. Blue Sky Studios, which will produce the "Ice Age" series in the future, has also officially become a member of the media company. With the success of Pixar, no one would think that computer animation has no future.

It is precisely because of Pixar that Blue Sky Studios still put a lot of effort into the competition for Blue Sky Studios; but it is also because of Pixar's example that Blue Sky Studios finally fell into their embrace. Very well, in this regard, the second step has been achieved, and now the last step remains.

"Thank you for the compliment." Adrian poured half a glass for himself and him again.

"Frankly speaking, without you, the company's development may have taken a lot of detours. Our partner is really perfect." Claude said with emotion.

"That's right, we are the best partners," Adrian laughed, and patted him on the shoulder vigorously. "As long as we are close, we can be invincible no matter what."

With a ding, the two cups collided, and after taking another sip, the two laughed again.

"Speaking of which, do you want to try it..." Claude said suddenly, pointing at Daniela and smiling playfully.

"If there is something suitable, I don't mind." Adrian shrugged knowingly, "But don't say this in front of Monica."

"I know, she is your favorite," Claude said haha, "Don't worry, I will pick the best one for you."

"You guy..." Adrian cursed with a smile, "By the way, you will come to the screening in a few days, this is a good opportunity to witness." F
