King of Hollywood

Chapter 189: New director

The boundary between work and life has never been so clear. If a woman's secretary and assistant speaks to him like this, it can only indicate that her heart has been disturbed. Unfortunately, Charlize does not understand it, but Adrian understands it.

So after listening to Charlize's words that day, Adrian didn't say anything, patted her hands silently, and left the amusement park together when she recovered. Not only that, but in the next few days, I never talked with Charlize about anything other than work, and even intentionally showed a certain distance.

To seize it, of course, you have to take it easy. For this hand, Adrian can't be more skilled. He can also use this time to deal with some important things.

Michael Bay changed his posture on the sofa outside the office, and then touched his nose. This was the third time he had done this. He's not as laid-back as the middle-aged man who reads the newspaper sitting opposite him—he knows the middle-aged man, but the middle-aged man certainly doesn't know him—the other party has at least hand-made works, even those It is basically done in cooperation with others. But what about himself? In addition to a few MTVs and advertisements, and the trophies won by these MTVs and advertisements, what else?

Thinking of this, he started to become more nervous, and his eyes couldn't help looking at the office door again. What did the miracle director look for? Prior to knowing Adrian Cowell, Michael Bay didn't really admire anyone, even if he knew many directors, producers, and Spielberg and others through his uncle at the top of the globe. He always had a sense of pride in his heart, thinking that he would never be inferior to them in making movies.

Even after learning about Adrian later, he didn't take it to heart, an independent director who would only make low-cost films. But as Adrian appeared again and again in the public eye, and constantly caused such controversy, Michael Bay's eyes gradually gradually attracted the past.

His original intention has not changed. He still doesn't like those prestigious literary films. He still doesn't think that if he makes a movie, he won't be worse than any director. However, Adrian ’s long list of achievements is really dazzling. He has been in charge of the guide less than three years ago, and has already been nominated for two Oscars for best director. He also used two films to pave the way for Passino and Thompson The film emperor's path. What's more, he made money in each of his films and almost never made a loss, including those he invested in and those based on scripts produced by him.

Michael Bay doesn't need to care about Adrian's nominations, but he can't care about his ability to make money. There are also many kinds of fame, such as the fame of each movie being praised, or the fame that every movie can make a lot of money. For Michael Bay, the latter is obviously more attractive to him. Needless to say Adrian's ability to make money, the most surprising thing is that he has never touched anything related to filmmaking before, which is described in detail in those reports about him, and He himself acknowledged this.

Since the founding of Hollywood, no director has been able to do so. I am afraid there are no better words to describe it except genius. It is no wonder that the media will now call him a miracle director. Well-informed Michael Bay knows more, for example, Adrian is not only the boss of Bosworth Pictures, but also the chairman of the media that has not been established for a long time.

To be able to achieve so many achievements in less than three years is not considered a successful person, so what kind of person can be considered a successful person? As the old saying goes, if the opponent's ability is only a little higher than you, you may be jealous of him; but if the opponent's ability is too much, you can only look up at him.

So Michael Bay would sit here and suffer, and he did n’t understand why Adrian had invited him through his uncle, and wanted him to direct the movie? There are so many people to choose from, don't they? Besides, they have never even seen each other. So what will it be? I heard that he also has a record company.

Just as he was thinking about it, the woman secretary had pushed open the door of the office and came out: "Mr. Michael Bay, Jerry Bruckheimer, Mr. Adrian invite you in."

She is so pretty. What's her name? Charlize Theron, it seems that name. Looking at the glamorous girl, Michael Bay couldn't help whistling in his heart, followed him to hold on, and went in together?

The middle-aged man sitting opposite him showed the same expression, but responded within a few seconds, smiled kindly to Michael, and took the lead to walk to the office.

Michael immediately got up and followed, and his mind was all focused on the upcoming things at this moment, and there was no time to take care of the others, and the previous gains and losses were also thrown away.

This is a simple office without too much furniture, but it is very comfortable and everything is neatly arranged, as if the word "order" is being interpreted. At this moment, the young man sitting at the desk frowned and said something on the phone. He was wearing a white shirt but not wearing a tie. He untied his neckline and hung his coat on the coat rack. It gives people a sense of uninhibitedness.

"Please sit down." Adrian behind the desk saw them coming in, quickly explained to the microphone, and then stood up and stretched out his hand: "I'm glad to meet you, Mr. Bay, Mr. Brookheimer."

"I'm also glad to see you, Mr. Cowell." The two who had just touched their buttocks suddenly stood up again.

"Sit down, don't be so constrained, please call me Adrian or Ed. I'm not here or A, not the tax office, and I'm not asking you to assist in the investigation." Adrian joked.

A few words of playfulness suddenly relaxed, and then Adrian pressed the phone's contact button: "Hi, Charlie, please bother you a little bit, please send us three glasses ..."

He suddenly stopped to look at the two in front of him.

"Coffee," Michael Bay and Brookheimer replied inadvertently, then stared at each other unexpectedly, followed by the unanimous addition: "No matter what the taste."

Adrian could not help laughing. "Well, Charlie, three cups of latte, thank you."

Then he smiled and looked at the two of them: "It is indeed my choice to come out with a lot of partners, and it has been so tacit before I started."

Facing the confused and clear eyes of Michael and Brookheimer, he handed them two bound books on the desk: "Take a few minutes to read the script first."

Michael and Brookheimer looked at each other, and both took the script and read it.

Unlike Bruckheimer, who turned it around and read it, Michael read each page carefully and devotedly, even if Charlize gave him coffee. For one thing, he wants to know as much as possible what this story is; for another, he can take this opportunity to calm down his excitement. He listened well to Adrian's words, and he asked him to direct the film

It took about 20 minutes for Michael to finish reading the script. He originally planned to take a longer time to read it more carefully, but Brookheimer by his side had finished reading it and was waiting for him with coffee. One had to finish reading. Forgiveness is so, he still feels excited. This is a good story. The blood is hot and humorous at the same time. He can almost outline some very dynamic pictures in his head.

"This is a good script ... Adrian." Michael thought about it and decided to call the other person's full name.

"Thank you, Jerry said the same thing, and I knew that you would be good partners." Adrian laughed. "So, since your opinions are so consistent, you are willing to be the producer of this film and Director? "

The two in front of each other looked at each other, then looked at each other up and down, and finally Bruckheimer said, "I know why you chose me ... Are we, Ed?"

"This is a purely commercial film. I need a producer with more relevant experience in this area, so Tang recommended you to me, and he said that you are his best partner, and you have always had a good cooperation. Adrian said with a smile. "I believe what he said."

Then he looked at Michael: "As for Mike, although you have no experience in directing movies, I have seen all your MTV and advertising, it is very dynamic and impactful, and this is exactly what this movie needs. It It does n’t care about other things, it just moves the audience to be interesting and beautiful, and it ’s cool. ”

Speaking of here Adrian suddenly laughed again, with a little apology: "Of course, there is another reason, the budget of this movie is only about 20 million, and most of it will be spent on stunts, so there is not much Funds to invite well-known directors. "

"It's okay." Michael shrugged and said nothing else. Adrian was telling the truth. He was indeed a new and newcomer in directing the movie.

"But I believe Mike will do a great job ~ www.readwn.com ~ Just like I believe Jerry will do a good job," Adrian looked at Michael and Brooke Hemer, "I do n’t I don't think it's a bad thing to work with newcomer directors. They may be more dynamic and imaginative than some well-known directors, and the films they make will be more attractive-in fact, I am still a newcomer director. "

Still thinking, Brookheimer laughed: "I agree, I agree."

"Very good," Adrian said, looking at Michael.

"I have no problem," Michael said quickly, this is an opportunity anyway, and he has no reason to let go.

"Very good, gentlemen, the rest is to discuss the signing of the contract and the preparation of the movie," Adrian clapped his hands. "Actors, I am also ready for you, two black actors who only switched from TV series to movies, both Excellent, I believe you can cooperate happily. "

"No problem, you are the boss." Brookheimer shrugged his shoulders and accepted, but Michael suddenly asked: "Is it because of budget to choose black actors?"

"Um ..." Adrian thought for a while, then spread his hands, "Okay." ()
