King of Hollywood

Chapter 61

"Do you know, Crow, this is good news. In any case, the 1.1 billion people market is open. Their movie market is still blank, and we can easily take a sufficient share." Adrian side Slowing down the car while calling, he didn't want to be an example of calling while driving and then in a car accident.

"This is inevitable. After all, they are different from us, but it is still a long time. If we have to be flexible enough, it will not be impossible for them to become like Japan. Well, let's do this, let Pella Meng went to communicate. Let ’s observe for a while and finish the things in our hands. ”Adrian continued, and when he was over there, he closed the phone.

"The Chinese market ..." He stared at the front, chuckled after thinking for a long time, and then increased the throttle.

Adrian had previously told Claude that he could use the opportunity to open the Chinese film market to establish overseas channels, but at that time the company was not large, and there was not much time and resources to sit on this, and soon there were New considerations, so temporarily put on hold. Later, because of a kick when Viacom bought Paramount G, the media sought a seat on Viacom's board of directors and indirectly connected with Paramount G, which has been exploring overseas. The market-in fact, the seven major movie companies are doing this, but the progress has been made in the past-especially in Asia, after the Soviet Union's completion, the market in Eastern Europe was fully opened immediately after the global box office burst out, China's 1.1 billion The potential of the population is self-evident.

Therefore, Adrian and they are happy to take the ride, and several blockbuster movies last year have begun to go on to the 6th cinema in China, which is bound to set off a Hollywood frenzy. As for what will happen in the future, Adrian is not worried at all. Don't look at what he and Claude said before. It is basically impossible to occupy China like the film market in Eastern Europe or Japan. The difference between East and West It's great in some ways.

Although he had ridiculed a certain bureau while drinking and chatting with friends and colleagues in previous lives, he calmly thought about it, although they did a lot of inexplicable and annoying things-lay leaders and experts everywhere-but It has indeed played a role in protecting China ’s domestic market. If it is really fully open like Japan and Eastern Europe, Chinese local movies will be finished soon, and even Japan and South Korea are trying to restrict it, let alone how can they be a big country. All propaganda tools in the hands of others? Even non-U.S. Citizens are not allowed to acquire broadcasters.

However, the shocks faced in recent years are unavoidable. Although the rhythm, shots, pictures and stories of Chinese movies are all desirable, compared with Hollywood film factories with mature systems, it is not enough to look at. Excellent movies one by one, Chinese movies must wait for years before they can recover.

Adrian doesn't mind helping out and reducing the time to breathe back. In fact, this is why he got involved in the Chinese market. In any case, he can have his current achievements inseparable from previous lives, and he should pay back.

However, there is only a limited amount of help. Chinese filmmakers eventually need their own efforts to get up. Although many of the so-called fifth- and sixth-generation directors have learned a lot from Europe, not only the most I do n’t understand the basics, and I ’ve pushed my faults to a certain game, but after all, a few people have learned the way of commercial film in the stumbling block, otherwise those who are incapable and arrogant will own the market. Give way.

Seeing his destination in sight, Adrian immediately stopped thinking, and it was still too early to do these things. He parked the car on the side of the road, observed the next four weeks, and determined that there was no paparazzi. He took his things and got out of the car, and rang the doorbell at the door of the independent villa.

"God, Ed!" Gwennis opened the door, exclaiming. "Don't you say you'll be here in two hours?"

"I want to apologize like you, Gwinnie, I lied to you," Adrian smiled, holding a bunch of fresh yan roses from behind him, and handed it to her, "I give it to you, I hope you like it."

"It's so beautiful." Gwennis stunned again, and then she lowered her nose and took a deep breath.

"I like this bunch of hua, it's too bang." The girl smiled with eyebrows, and her eyes were almost finishing the crescent. The next second she exclaimed, as Adrian stooped to hold her back and walked inside.

"Let me down, Ed! You can't do this." Gwen Nisi said coquettishly, but in order to prevent the hua bundle in her hand from spreading out, she did nothing, just kicked twice with the tuǐ symbol xìng, see Here comes Adrian's calculations.

"I haven't seen you for a long time, and you have become a lot more beautiful." Adrian said with praise when he came to the living room and lowered Gwenness from his shoulders, his hand moved to her belly.

"Thank you, but don't you think this passage can be used to explain a word?" Gwennis's eyes flowed.

"Oh? So, is empathetic?" Adrien asked deliberately, shaking the girl's head and saying, "That's articulate, otherwise you can say it? If it's not, then it should be the right word ... "

After seeing the words being more and more out of bounds, Gwennis gave him a white look: "hua words!"

"It turned out to be," Adri said in a way he couldn't hear. "Can I take it as a compliment?"

"Yes yes, this is a compliment." Gwennis gave him a white look and turned to go elsewhere. After pouring a glass of water for Adrian, she took the hua bottle and began to understand the roses. netbsp; Adrian didn't say much, drank water on the sand and watched Gwennis Chahua while drinking water, and under her white silk coat was a ng dress, so every time she leaned over When you can see the net light of ng mouth slightly, add that quiet temperament, don't have any. Gwennis also noticed his gazing eyes, and glanced at him softer and softer. The afternoon sun poured in from the floor-to-ceiling window, making her look beautiful with her hands raised.

After hua for dozens of minutes, Gwyneth finally put all the hua flowers into the bottle, and looked carefully again before turning to Adrian with joy: "How?"

"Although there are still too many shortcomings compared to professionals, but the layers on top make the top one look particularly beautiful, which is quite good." Adrian knows the skills of speaking first and then later, Ke Ge Winnies still seemed a little unhappy, staring at him sulkingly: "How do you know I'm not professional?"

"Sorry, dear Gwinnie, I've seen professionals chahua." Adrian said with a chuckle, "Gwennies' coquettish way is full of fun," In fact, you have done a good job Now. "

"I deliberately studied the new movie for a few weeks." Gwennis said discouraged.

"Well, it looks like you've done a lot of preparation for this movie." Adrian then switched the subject.

"Of course." When mentioning this, the girl suddenly became energetic again. She suddenly sat upright, coughed and simmered, and then looked at Adrian with restraint and a little pride: "Knight Mr. Lee, if you have any plans to talk to me, as your friend, I can't refuse, no matter what you want to tell me, I will listen and listen. "

The accentuated tone didn't feel like American English at all, and the slight changes in the expression on the face were just right. The self-confident but somewhat stubborn and evil look immediately made Adrian applaud.

"Very good, Gwinney, I said that I can't go wrong, as long as I keep this state, it will definitely be the best version!" Adrian's tone was full of admiration, and then he sighed. He breathed out: "Suddenly I have a seed, with the urge to immediately return to London to start filming."

"Don't be in such a hurry. I can be more fully prepared in a few days, anyway." Although Gwennis was smiling, her eyebrows were smug, with some jīn movement and excitement, but she did not escape from Adrienne. Ann's eyes.

"By the way, do you remember what I said to you on the phone," Adrian said, passing the paper bag that he had taken with him. "Let's take a closer look."

"This is ... the script?" Gwennis opened a surprised look when she opened the file bag. She looked at Adrian and looked at the thick script in her hand, all with a puzzled look on her face.

Adrian did not speak, smiling and making a "please" gesture. Gwyneth shrugged, then looked down. This script is very thick and looks like nearly a thousand pages. If you estimate it according to the standard format, the length of the film is estimated to be over a minute. So Gwennis quickly jumped to read it. She knew what she needed to read. It would only be the heroine to get Adrian to send him this way in person.

The room was back to the kind just before, quiet and with a slight ambiguous atmosphere, but the sound of scissors cutting off the branches and leaves of hua was replaced by a rustling sound of page turning.

After another tens of minutes, Gwyneth finally finished reading the script. After contemplating the film with her chin in mind, she exhaled and looked at Adrian with a questioning look.

"Don't like this character?" Adrian asked first.

"Well ... I can't say I like it, I can't say I hate it, it's just ..." Gwenis gestured and didn't know how to organize words. In the end, she just joked and said, "It seems you intend to keep me playing English Now. "

"Let me guess," Adrian sat next to her. "First, there are already many movies about the Titanic. It ’s hard to come up with new ideas on the same subject, right?"

Gwyneth didn't admit it or deny it, just stared at him with one hand on his cheek.

"Second," Adrian said with a grip on Gwennis's shoulder. "Second, James Cameron has always been famous for commercial production. Shooting a commercial production is certainly helpful for promoting fame, but it is also very easy to become hua Bottle. And James has the title of "Tyrant on the Set", and it's not easy to work with him, right? "

"You've finished all I want to say, what else can I say?" Gwennis sighed after a moment of silence.

"You have to believe me, Gwinnie," Adrian Haha smiled, grabbed her hand, and looked at her eyes with a serious look. "This is going to leave a fortune in film history. Movie! I can't think of a reason for your rejection. "

Although Gwennis's expression had not changed, there was still a hint of hesitation and unbelief.

"You know, James has found a port in Mexico to build a 1: 1 model of the Titanic. He even rented a Russian submarine for this purpose and observed the wreckage of the Titanic several times in the depths of the Atlantic Ocean. , Also asked many experts, not to mention Hua's efforts on clothing and props, "Adrian knows how to impress her," and I invested 200 million for this to splurge him-sī investment. "

"You mean ... you mean ... you invested 200 million ?!" Gwyneth was immediately shocked, and the script in her hand almost fell to the ground, but fortunately she caught it quickly and promptly.

Dollars in this era are still quite valuable. For example, General Hammer intends to give his soldiers one million US dollars after the success of the blackmailing regime. If you put it in 15 years, it would not be worth the money. What, but one million dollars in 1995 is equivalent to seven to eight million dollars a year!

At present, most large-scale movies have a budget of about $ 100 million at most, and they are basically invested by several major movie companies, so people like Adrian have invested 200 million in a movie, almost It was an unheard of thing, and it was inevitable that Gwennis would be ill.

Those who make such a decision are either crazy or have too much money to use, or they have great confidence in the movie, and it does n’t matter which Adrian belongs to. His achievements in recent years are Everyone there acknowledged that his vision was extremely accurate. Therefore, it is self-evident what Gwennis should choose.

"Oh my God, I didn't expect ... you actually let me ... act as a heroine ..." Gwennis' face turned into a flush of excitement, and she was incoherent when she spoke.

"Because there is no better person than you." Adri said with a soothing smile on her face.

Indeed, among the women who are close to him, only Gwenis is the most suitable at present. Monica and Julia are not the only ones in terms of age. Sarah is too good, and she does not have the temperament of a British woman; Blanchett's face is a little hard, and she can't show that girlish style; Liv is completely a hua bottle. It used to be, is now, and will be in the future, she just needs to be a hua bottle with peace of mind; Not to mention the tower.

Rachel and Kate can, but the former has already been arranged, and the relationship is not yet in place, Adrian has no reason to give her so many opportunities; for the latter, unfortunately, she is now full of belly, and There is also a lack of aristocratic or high-class sister temperament. So in the end I gave it to Gwyneth. Anyway, the hero and heroine of "Titanic" is actually the hua bottle, but the unprecedented box office made everyone ignore it.

"Oh, Ed, I don't know what to say right now." Gwennis, who finally calmed down, sighed, though she was smiling wistfully, but she was very bright, "It's like ... suddenly lose confidence. "

"Don't think so much, Gwinnie, all you have to do is go to London with me to finish the movie, and then go to Mexico to shoot the movie." Adrian gently held her hands, "Of course, Working with James will be very hard. The title of tyrant is not in vain, but I hope you can bear it. When this film is completed, everything you will pay is worth it. This will be a great movie. What it has achieved is beyond imagination-except me! "

He looked into her eyes, and the strong momentum of who gave me up came out: "My eyes have never been missed, never before, not now, and not in the future!"

Gwyneth's breathing suddenly quickened, and her throat began to shake slightly, which seemed a little difficult to hold on, but she quickly controlled herself and nodded with a smile: "I believe you, Ed."

Immediately after that, his mouth was blocked by Adrian, and Gwenness put out her tongue and tangled with him.

"Well, I'm leaving." Adrian said after tasting her ruddy net petals and taking a good look.

"Leave? Anything else?" Gwyneth looked surprised, "If it's not important, would you stay for dinner? We haven't seen each other for a while."

There was a hint of coquettishness in her tone, and her attitude of persistence was resolute, and she knew what she was thinking in her heart.

Surprisingly, Adrian shook his head and said in a gentle tone: "Sorry, Gwinny, I do have something else, so how about another day?"

There was a moment of strangeness in Gwennis's eyes, she seemed to think of something but couldn't say it. But Adrian immediately pinched her chin ~ www.readwn.com ~ bowed her head and lowered her mouth net: "Don't worry, we have time after going to London."

"Indeed," after a few seconds, a smile passed from the corner of her mouth, "then I will not delay you, Ed."

Adrian was very satisfied with Gwennis's gains, but not so smoothly on the other side.

"Gwenis is okay. Someone recommended it to me before, and I'm sure of it after seeing her work. If you don't say that you already have a heroine, I may have contacted her agent. But the actor, I don't think Raven Phoenix is ​​suitable. "In the studio of James Cameron, the set tyrant said this to Adrian, and his expression was very serious, apparently he had his own choice for the actor candidate. Decide.

Adrian frowned, but then smoothed out again: "Can you talk about your candidate, James?"

Look at him like this ...

"Leonardo DiCaprio."

really!
