King of Hollywood

The script was originally used by Adrian as a stepping stone to Hollywood. When his fame spread with the production of the two films, he lost its original value. Therefore, the role of the script must be changes happened.

Because of the previous scripts and the fact that the screenwriters of the two successful films he had written were also written by himself, Adrian already has the title of genius screenwriter among the top executives of various film companies. He also knows this, so the script has become the best thing for him to win over these film companies.

For others, this is definitely an impossible task. In Hollywood, although the status of screenwriters is much better than that of decades ago, they still don't have much right to speak. When making a movie, big-name stars, big-name directors, and big-name producers can modify the script at will. If they don’t want to make adjustments according to their opinions, they can just leave. Anyway, there are many screenwriters.

But Adrian is different, not to mention his identity as director, producer, and film company owner, just the 8 different types of scripts born from him are enough to make the top executives of major film companies look at him differently, not to mention that he is still young. Based on this alone, it is entirely possible to use scripts to influence these large companies.

Of course, he can't do it alone, and Laverne can't help much in this, so he needs an excellent agent. If you want to gain a firm foothold in Hollywood and start a career without an agent, you will definitely not be able to do it. An excellent agent can solve many troubles and win many benefits for the employer, such as negotiating with the film company for a share, or contacting the media for publicity, and Turning down unfriendly journalists, canvassing for an employer after being nominated for an award, etc. Generally speaking, if an actor becomes a first-line star, his agent should account for 30% or more of the credit.

However, this does not mean that agents are omnipotent. Taking CAA as an example, their most proud method is bundling sales. If a film company wants to get a script written by one of their agents, it must Directors and actors in charge of their agents. But this kind of approach is useless in front of big film companies. The contacts they have allow them to directly contact actors, directors, and screenwriters without their agents. Although they have to negotiate and sign contracts through agents in the end, bundling sales is impossible.

In fact, the purpose of CAA's bundling sales is mainly to attract as many second- and third-tier actors and directors as possible. With so many second- and third-tier actors and directors in Hollywood, there are always a few talented people who can make their debut. Facts have proved that their luck is indeed very good, so it is a pity that Adrian is now on the other side of stabilizing other brokerage companies in the 21st century.

In short, brokers are very important. Although there is no room for them to intervene in various high-level negotiations and transactions, they are indispensable in daily affairs. Adrian is still far away from high-level transactions, so he wants to find an excellent agent to help operate these scripts. It is impossible for several major film companies to treat everyone equally because of future development. The relationship depends on the ability of the broker.

"Tell me about Roger in your eyes, Dan." Adrian said to Dennis. Although he got Roger Seidler's information through Claude, but listen to Dennis's opinion from another way. The next is also good.

"Let me think about it... First of all, he is a very shrewd person..." Dennis said while recalling, Roger obviously gave him a good impression, and Dennis often spoke for him.

Adrian didn't interrupt, just listened quietly, and then drew a rough outline in his heart. Then look at Roger's performance, and make a decision after the brokerage company makes adjustments.

"By the way, Ed, there's something... Maybe you can give me some advice?" Just as Adrian was about to get up to get some drinks, Dennis suddenly said hesitantly.

"Oh? What is it?" Adrian sat back with interest. He had never seen Dennis like this before.

"Hmm...that's...that's..." Dennis scratched his head and thought for a long time, and finally put on a desperate look, "If I want to pursue a girl, what should I do?"

"Pursuing girls?" Adrian raised his eyebrows in surprise. He never expected that Dennis wanted to ask himself this kind of question, "Don't tell me, you've never asked a girl out before."

"How could it be?" Dennis rolled his eyes, "I'm pursuing, understand? Pursuing!"

"Is there any difference?" Adrian shrugged, "Okay, I see, you mean not only want to sleep with her, but also want to continue to develop - which girl makes your heart beat?"

"Can I not mention my name?" Dennis showed a hesitant look, "We...we can only be regarded as friends, we met at a party, and she already has a boyfriend, and the relationship is very close. So, I think you may Can you give me some advice, after all..."

Although he didn't continue talking, Adrian could guess what he wanted to say, and couldn't help but feel ironic.

"Already have a boyfriend?" Looking at Dennis, he showed a half-smile expression.

"What do you want to say?" Dennis obviously didn't think there was anything wrong with his actions. "There is no law that prohibits you from pursuing girls with boyfriends."

"Okay, okay," Adrian shook his head with a smile, "I don't think you can say her friend's name, so it's okay to talk about her and her boyfriend's personality?"

"Well... she's beautiful, she has an innocent vibe, and she's a catchy sight at parties. She's not tall, about 5ft 3in, a little petite, and cute. As for her personality, she's gentle and docile. It's also very simple, the voice is not loud, and the smile is very attractive." Dennis recalled, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

Adrian, who was listening, couldn't help but rolled his eyes, sighed for his innocence, and then changed the subject with a dry cough: "Then what about her boyfriend?"

"A prodigal son, drinking, taking drugs, fighting, being unrestrained, without any sense of responsibility." Dennis waved his hand in disgust, "I don't understand why they came together."

"Because bad men are more likely to attract innocent girls." Adrian said with a laugh, "Of course, this kind of relationship will not last long. The woman wants to make a promise, but the man is stingy with it, so it will be a matter of time before we break up. "

"Then what should I do? Wait for them to break up?" Dennis frowned, which was obviously not what he wanted to see.

"It's very simple, make yourself different." Adrian said, turning the empty wine glass in his hand.

"To make yourself appear different?" Dennis was puzzled.

"That's right, the reason why it is said that bad men are more likely to attract those innocent girls is because in the eyes of those innocent girls, bad men are different from other men." Having said that, Adrian paused, "Let's put it this way , in the animal world, male animals always think about how to spread their seeds more comprehensively, while female animals think about finding the best male to pass on their genes, and human beings as advanced animals are no exception .”

"Of course, for female animals, the strongest guy in the group who can ensure the reproduction of the group is the best, but for women, the best is indefinable. It is true that humans are advanced animals, but humans and Animals are inherently different, and there are a lot of things involved in trying to make women feel different from other men."

"But...can you make it simpler?" Dennis was a little dizzy.

Adrian stared at him for a while, then shrugged: "Okay, let's talk about something else."

It doesn't matter, there will be plenty of time later.

"First of all, you must be able to coax a woman, find a topic to chat with your co-workers, and then go deeper step by step, invite her to dinner and go out to play, etc.; secondly, while coaxing her, you must maintain your own personality, which is what I said before. It’s different, don’t make yourself like a piece of plasticine just to coax her, you can pinch it however you want; the last and most important point is to make her feel safe.” Adrian continued, “Women most of the time They are very emotional, they like to think about a lot of things, so when you can make her feel safe and reliable, and feel that there is nothing to be afraid of when you are around, then you have a very good chance of winning her."

Dennis still looked dizzy, and after a while he asked again: "Can... be more specific?"

"I won't tell you when to do what, Dan, you need to figure it out for yourself. When you understand what I just told you, you will naturally know what to do." Adrian laughed He said, he suddenly thought of something here, and his smile became a little weird: "Well, let me add one more thing, if you can get a girl's first time, and make her go to heaven, then no matter whether she hates you in the future Still love you, she will always remember you. But since she already has a boyfriend, you can only try the latter situation. "

Dennis grinned and didn't speak any more. He drank the liquid in the glass in his hand, then got up and left.

Let me see what you can do, Dan. Adrian watched his back with interest. It's a pity that he doesn't know who Dennis' target is, otherwise... His idea may be even worse.

After returning from Ohio, after resting for almost three days, Adrian called the crew to start shooting the interior scenes in Studio 23. The film company rented the studio early, and the prison cells, library, office, and the sewer for Andy's escape were all ready.

Calculating the time, it seems impossible to complete the shooting within two and a half weeks. Although the shots of the interior scenes are less than those of the exterior scenes, there are only a dozen or so fewer. That being the case, three and a half weeks is fine, anyway, as long as it doesn't exceed eight weeks in total, it's fine.
