King of Hollywood

"National Treasure" is a good movie, with decryption, action, theft and legend, and it is not intense, it is very suitable for the whole family to sit in the cinema and watch. It's just that, compared to the most watched movies of the same period, the box office is not as good as the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series, and the impression is not as impressive as the "Bourne Shadow" series, so Adrian didn't think of this for a while.

And when he thought about it and was about to prepare, Bruckheimer brought Copman to the door, which was the first time Adrian had encountered such a thing in more than ten years. But it’s not too strange. In the past, when he wanted to copy movies and TV series, even at the beginning of his career, he would ask people to collect data in advance to see if there were any similar ideas, and then use various means to make the idea widely known— —In the past, it was based on the screenwriters’ union, but it became easier after having its own media group. Therefore, when there is no plan to produce a certain film or TV series over the years, the original author has already had an idea.

As for "National Treasure", he came up with it on a whim. Naturally, no investigation has started yet, so there is no need to be too surprised. After all, the world cannot completely follow his will. Of course, there is no shortage of plots that should be shown, as an ace screenwriter's talent.

"...Although Gates is an adventurer who likes archaeology, he is not a criminal after all, so when Xiao planned to steal the "Declaration of Independence", he resolutely refused to participate. Of course, the two broke up because of this, and Gates escaped from Xiao's persecution After that, I went to the Department of Homeland Security, B, and the National Archives with my assistant. But these departments didn't believe it, so, in order to protect the "Declaration of the Communist Party" from being destroyed..."

"Gates and his assistants went ahead and stole the Declaration of Independence before Shaw, preferably at a party at the National Archives where Gates could meet the heroine , she could be an actual archaeologist, or she could be a head of the archives, anyway, she can help Gates in this regard. Isn't it?"

"...After using the children to find the letters on the letter, they finally found that the remaining clues pointed to the ** clock, but they didn't know what time it should be, and this became another problem."

“I remember that there was a clock on the hundred dollar, and there must have been time to show that since the whole story started with a dollar bill, it was right to insert a hundred dollar bill in the middle to lead. Right?”

The normal conversation came to an end in this situation, and Copman often said the key points. Adrian can always follow up just right, and the plot he said every time is not much different from what he thought. So when it was finally finished, Copman sighed and looked at Bruckheimer, who laughed.

"Well, Brian. I said Ed would see the value of your script," he said.

"Yes, Mr. Cowell is indeed the best screenwriter in Hollywood." Copman shrugged in admiration.

"Actually, I just happen to be conceiving a story about treasures, and I'm also thinking about the "Declaration of Independence". I just have an idea. There are some details, but there is no specific outline. It just so happens that your idea sparked my inspiration." , so I just added it in one go." Adrian said it very naturally, without blushing or heartbeat.

"So, this matter can be settled like this?" Bruckheimer said while the iron was hot.

"Of course. But it may be postponed, I still have some things to consider, and you are also busy with the next two parts of "Pirates of the Caribbean", such as delaying to next year?" Adrian said and laughed, "I Already thought of a suitable candidate for the role of Ben Franklin Gates."

This made the two people in front of them stunned for a moment, and then both showed expressions of emotion, as expected of a miracle director.

Now that he has spoken like this, Bruckheimer does have movies to do. So it's settled like this. Next, it's up to Cage himself.

"Brian, if you have time, you might as well think about how to arrange the plot if you want to write a sequel." Adrian added this before Copman left.

Copman was stunned for a moment, and then happily agreed. Obviously, Director Miracle is optimistic about this movie, and Director Miracle is optimistic about this movie, and he has almost never failed.

It can only help him to this point. If Cage can't learn his lesson, then Adrian can't do anything.

In addition to "Matchman", "Summer of Jeans" was also released at this time. Because the cost was low and the actors were not very well-known, the premiere was not held. Of course, the publicity is still very good, the box office is slightly better than the original version, and the word of mouth is as good as ever.

"Frankly speaking, you did a great job, Leighton, and the film critics are full of praise for your performance." Adrian, who was sitting on a sun lounger under a parasol by the pool, expressed his gratitude to him lying on his stomach in the pool after getting out of the water. Leighton Meester on the side said.

"It's just not bad, not as good as Alexis and Amanda." Leighton pouted and said, seemingly dissatisfied.

Adrian couldn't help laughing. Among the four heroines in "Summer of Jeans", um, it should be said that there are four and a half heroines, and there is also a little girl with leukemia, played by Kristen Stewart , because of the role setting, and her temperament at this time is also very suitable, so she is more eye-catching in the movie.

In short, among the four and a half heroines, Megan will not say anything, and she will be a vase for a long time. the best. Although Amanda is not as experienced as Alexis, she does not intend to give up any opportunities, and Adrian obviously prefers capable women, so she works very hard, and the praise she gets is only worse than that of Alexis last point.

In this case, Leighton can only be ranked third. In fact, for her, it is already very good to be rated ahead of Christine. The younger the girl, the better her acting skills. The performance in the movie is also impressive. So Leighton is unhappy with Amanda, she is much later than Adrian, but several movies have been shot, and there are two works starring her in the past two weeks, and the reviews are also good, Li Of course Don will not be reconciled.

Then with a crash, the girl jumped up from the water. Her swimsuit is basically a rope, pulled from top to bottom, covering only three points, it looks the same as if she was not wearing it. But it's actually much more alluring than being naked. Before this, Leighton had swam in front of Adrian either wearing nothing or just bottoms, but she changed her style immediately after Adrian told her she preferred it that way.

From this point of view, Liton is very obedient, so Adrian doesn't mind meeting her request, let alone...

"Give me a leading role, okay?" Liton lay on Adrian's chest, slowly twisting her youthful body that hadn't completely faded, "I don't need too much box office and word of mouth, I...I just want to Be the main character once."

"No problem." Adrian agreed without hesitation, so fast that the girl couldn't believe it.

"You deserve it," he smiled. Then the topic changed, "By the way, how are you doing at Burbank High School, last time you said that Blake pulled some cheerleaders to her side and got the upper hand more times than you?"

"It's just because of some relationship between her parents that she gained this advantage." Hearing the name Liton showed a disdainful expression, "If there is a fair fight, I will definitely not lose to her, and..."

She took a deep look at Adrian, and her lower body shook more frequently: "If you are willing to support me, it will be easy for me to win her."

Hear this sentence. Adrian chuckled noncommittally, and Liton was a little disappointed immediately, but then opened his eyes wide as he thought of something.

"Ed," she climbed up, with an excited look on her face, "do you want to play with her?"

"Oh?" Adrian raised his eyebrows with interest.

"I know her very well. After all, we are rivals. Although she had a boyfriend in school. But because she had to deal with me, she broke up quickly. I believe she never slept with him. You must be very interested in her." Leighton looked at him and said carefully.

"What do you think of our trick from last time?" Adrian rubbed his chin and asked suddenly, "Maybe I can give you a little follower."

Li Tun hesitated, and then revealed ecstasy: "She will take the bait, I promise."

Adrian nodded in satisfaction. Did you send Leighton to Burbank not long ago to watch the live-action version and make some ideas? Now is also time to prepare for the harvest.

Of course, even though he thought about it, there is still some time before that time, so his attention is still on the movie. In late September, when the summer vacation is about to end and the autumn TV series has begun, he has already made full publicity 'Julie \u0026 Julia' finally had its New York premiere.

Adrian did not participate, he only passed the next day, as for the reason...

"...Natalie once again showed her amazingly talented side. When I watched this movie in my seat, Julie Powell restored the food that Julia once introduced on TV in the movie. Didn't realize she was just a 22-year-old young girl and a vegetarian. That ambivalence of maturity and simplicity was perfectly reflected in her, and when she appeared in the movie, she was the one who arrived At the age of 30, she still can't find her goal, but she is full of curiosity about many things. Julie Powell, who wants to keep trying, even though she and Streep have no counterparts in the movie, their acting skills are not at all. Not to lose to each other, the two seem to be confronting each other decades apart, this is a classic." After reading this, Adrian threw the newspaper on the table and looked at the old man standing on the balcony. Natalie laughed.

The young girl was only wearing striped pajamas and white underpants, her legs were just exposed, her toes were on the ground, she was bare and without shoes. Although the curve of her calf was not perfect, it was quite attractive. She just leaned on the railing and basked in the morning light, enjoying the breeze. Every time she reached out to brush her messy hair, she showed a different flavor.

"Most of them are positive comments. Your performance is really good, Nada, which greatly exceeded my expectations." Adrian walked to her side and hugged her from behind, "When I was watching the samples I did. You did a great job recreating the goulash scene, and that intoxication was clearly conveyed to me and now to these critics."

"I've done it myself several times." Natalie said lightly.

"I know, you are very talented and work very hard - I heard that your father had a fight with you because of this?" Adrian leaned towards her ear and kissed her lightly.

"This kind of thing is normal. It's an accident that there is no quarrel someday." Natalie glanced at him. "It's just a trivial matter. I just ate some meat as you ordered."

"This is a good living habit," Adrian laughed. Then she took a deep breath on the back of her neck greedily, "Look at you now, neither fat nor thin, very suitable, and more and more fascinating."

Natalie was silent, and after a long while, she said quietly: "I can only perform with all my heart."

Adrian, who heard it in his ears, didn't care: "Yes, I know, so I chose to come here today. Instead of attending the premiere last night, I just wanted to tell you that I'm getting ready to start."

"It's about to start?" Natalie immediately turned around and looked at him in disbelief, even though she was still calm a few seconds ago.

"Of course, I've said it before. It will start up this month at the latest." Adrian laughed, with some meaning, "Everything I've done up to now, including the "Julie and Julia" screened last night, has It’s laying the groundwork for next year.”

Although uncomfortable under his gaze, Natalie looked expectant. She knew exactly what that meant, after all. She has lost a lot along the way. Although she hates Adrian, she also knows that if she wants to get what she wants, she has no other way but to rely on him.

"In a few months, as long as "Julie and Julia" brings what it should have, things will basically not be a problem next year or early 2005." Adrian then said.

certainly. This is not true, although his power is already one of the best in Hollywood, but if Sophie is crowned the best actress this year, then this award will basically belong to him for 6 consecutive years. It's really hard to predict how the Film Academy will react to this. Although he still has some trump cards, Natalie's word-of-mouth is not to a certain level. Appropriate movie hits the front stand.

He was not particularly optimistic about "Julie and Julia" before, but there is no more suitable one for the time being. Just use this. But at present, it seems that the results of this decision are very good, not to mention word of mouth, based on the report he just read, the film critics are basically applauding, although none of them gave a perfect score, the movie The plot is still a bit lukewarm, the food is very attractive, and the theme is very inspirational, and the shooting technique is also in place, but there are really not many ups and downs. However, based on the 10-point scale, the ratings of these film critics are basically 7.5 to 8 points, which is unexpectedly consistent. From this aspect, the movie is still very good.

The box office is also acceptable. The top four figures in the first week are the same as the number of theaters. As far as a film with a medium investment is concerned, it is already very good. It has word-of-mouth and box office. As long as it works a little bit, it will become a hit next year, and then the rest is public relations. It shouldn't be a problem to nominate which best supporting actress, as long as it doesn't become fake.

In this way, there will be a good show next year, and the role of this card in his hand will be even greater, which in turn will play an important role in promoting his plan for the end of 2005 and the beginning of 2006.

Of course, Natalie didn't know these things, and with her intelligence, she could definitely analyze the situation Adrian was facing, but she still chose to believe it. In addition to the insightful analysis that gave her quite a shock, Adrian has also left a deep impression on her in the past few years. Not to mention that he has promoted actresses to the Oscar for Best Actress one by one. Natalie also watched him develop from a small film company into a huge media group in ten years.

Although she does not have access to those confidential information, the most basic sorting and analysis is still possible. Adrian has hardly made any mistakes, and basically promoted the development of Hehuan Global by himself, so even with Natalie's With a rational character, it is inevitable that there will be a deep-rooted idea of ​​"this person can't resist", "as long as he wants to do it, he can do it".

"I'm ready," Natalie finally replied.

Therefore, the film "Indomitable Movement", which describes Johnny Cash and his wife Joan Carter, was launched at the end of September. Well, wait, before the official start, Adrian still has something to deal with. When he went to the studio to check the situation, he accidentally met Su who had been refusing to disclose the details to him and was directing his second short film. Fei, and finally knew how she modified the short film.

The script of this short film was originally called "Sleepless in Supermarket" when Adrian handed it to her. Yes, it was the one that was nominated for the Oscar for Best Short Film. The supermarket applied to be a night shift salesperson. In order to pass the boring 8 hours at night, when observing strange customers, weaved stories for them in my heart.

A very delicate short film, with some unspeakable obscurity, but it does not affect the viewing. Although it was later expanded into a complete film, in the eyes of many people, the short film is still more flavorful.

Because the scenes and stories are relatively simple, what needs attention is only the grasp of the rhythm and the processing of the picture, so Adrian gave this to Sophie to practice. Unexpectedly, after Sophie got it, she made drastic changes and did not let him know, so in the end the male lead was changed to the female lead. What surprised him even more was that Cayden K. Ross!
