King of Hollywood

Chapter 191 May I ask who you are?

Although eating too many green apples would make his teeth sore, the problem was that Adrian didn't eat too much. Among several Lolitas, only Natalie belongs to half-red and half-green fruit, Sarah is a fruit that is eaten after seeing it ripe, and Kirsten is a fruit that ripens early, even if it is a little bit green Negligible, as for Britney, it is artificially ripened fruit.

As long as the technique is right, even artificially ripened fruits can still be as sweet and delicious as ordinary ripe fruits, and they will be completely and completely controlled by themselves, as can be seen from Britney's performance all the time.

At least you are still very cute now, give me everything about you, and continue being so cute. Adrian said this in his heart while stroking the well-proportioned carcass that was curled up in his arms and fell asleep after doing this kind of exercise for the first time.

Speaking of it, Britney is also full of sadness. Although the titles of pop queen and Madonna's heir make her infinitely beautiful, she is quite passive and bad in life. First, she was manipulated by an unscrupulous childhood sweetheart, then an unscrupulous flash marriage, and then an even more unscrupulous backup dancer and manager. Even though she finally recovered, she was controlled by her parents. It can be said that she has almost never successfully led Live your own life.

Negative EQ is not just talking, it has been well proven under Adrian's training. So, why can't he choose to take her into his own hands first? At least he won't make her suffer so much.

Moreover, most of the women around Adrian retain their own personalities, even Monica and Sarah who are obedient to him, Yukie is the force of inertia, don't forget how she was was sent over. Adrian likes that women have personalities, so that they can reflect their own differences, don't they? But it's nice to have one more little pet that belongs to you from the inside to the outside. It's also a good thing to change the taste occasionally.

Of course, this is a long process, even if Britney has been completely controlled by him—you can tell from the way she looks at him that he is everything to her—so it’s better to make her popular first, to her Let's talk about it in the position it should have, so that it will be more interesting to train.

Everything depends on the release of the new album next month, and before that, Adrian's main work is still on the movie.

Except for the opening and ending subtitles, the latter part of "The Matrix" has basically been completed, but it is also officially announced that it will not be released in the current schedule. And the three most important films of its film company, "The Time to Kill" have been fully released on Thanksgiving, and the box office has been quite good. By mid-December, it has accumulated nearly 70 million box office. The movie more or less can attract the attention of relevant people, not to mention the story is quite exciting, and the line "What would happen if it was a white girl" scratched the itch of many black people.

"A movie worth watching, with tight rhythm, ups and downs, witty court scenes are especially brilliant, and the ending is also thought-provoking." "Hollywood Reporter" commented this way.

As for the performance of the actors, Samuel Jackson was praised. Some media said that this was his best performance after "Pulp Fiction". Another leading actor, Matthew McConaughey, also won the A lot of good reviews, as for the supporting actress Kate, well, I barely gave a good review.

"Frankly speaking, the performance of this British actor is quite satisfactory, but unfortunately, she seems to be too beautiful, and she is suspected of being a vase. It would be great if her temperament can be more capable." This is an article on imdb about What was written in the film review of "A Time to Kill" resonated with many people, and there was even a comment declaring that this beautiful woman should make some romantic movies.

With the development of time and Adrian's intentional support, this website has grown bigger and bigger, and its influence in the circle of movie fans has also continued to increase as I remember. Although the movie reviews published on it are not as authoritative as professional movie critics, But after spreading it, the number of people who will see it will definitely not be much less than them.

"Have you read those movie reviews? I can only be a vase." After reading these movie reviews, Kate said to Adrian with some self-deprecation, she still cared about her performance.

"Even if it's a vase, it's a very beautiful vase." Adrian smiled disapprovingly, and then pinched the face of his daughter who was sitting in his arms and fiddling with the Rubik's Cube: "Lily, do you think mother is a vase?"

"Mom is not a vase. Mom is the best." Lily said without raising her head. She didn't even know what father meant by the vase, and concentrated on dealing with the Rubik's Cube in her hand.

It's no wonder that Kate has some resentment. Her screen debut is a character who doesn't even have lines, and she smokes marijuana all day long, and then she is quite cool in the end. The next few low-budget movies that I starred in didn’t have much reputation and characteristics, and I managed to play the leading role in the high-grossing “Tornado”. Unfortunately, the biggest selling point of this movie is the realistic tornado, and the male and female protagonists have been forgotten by the audience. the back of the head. Finally, she returned to Adrian's side, and soon became pregnant again. After giving birth to her daughter, the little bit of popularity accumulated before was almost completely exhausted.

And now, after finally taking on an important role again, but getting the title of a vase, how could it not make her feel depressed?

In this regard, Adrian has no good solution. Acting skills are honed, no matter how good the talent is, if you don't enrich yourself, you will fall behind. So next, he arranged a romantic movie for Kate as those fans wished. Even a commercially oriented work can hone her acting skills. Besides, apart from honor, commercial value, or more bluntly speaking, a female star Whether you can support the box office of a movie on your own is also very important.

Well, this need not be so urgent, there are many works suitable for Kate, enough for him to arrange, not to mention Adrian got two good scripts.

The first one was "The Mummy" or "Tomb Raider". When Stephen Sommers came to ask for help with this script, Adrian was really surprised. But after thinking about it, I realized that many new directors have become famous because of him in the past few years. Adrian's vision is also well-known. If Sommers wants to make a comeback, it is not surprising that he will be the first to think of him. .

Unlike Jane de Bont and Michael Bay, Stephen Sommers is now a well-known director and producer, known for making those family-friendly movies, and working with Disney is also a pleasure. But he didn't want to be such a director all the time. He wanted to change, so he approached Disney's Touchstone Films and produced an R-rated movie to be released this year: "Deep Cold"!

This is not surprising, because Adrian, many movies have appeared earlier, and some movies have appeared later-such as "Time to Kill"-it is not a big deal for this movie to be released this year.

To be honest, the quality of this bloody movie is good, at least in terms of horror and gore, but the problem is that Sommers has always appeared in a face that is suitable for everyone, and suddenly becomes so important Many people can't accept the taste, and the release time is not good. In mid-October, one of the two off-seasons, although the box office looks good, it can't compare with the cost. In the vanity fair of Hollywood, commercial directors rise or fall very quickly, especially for quasi-first-line directors like him. This failure dealt a heavy blow to Sommers and Touchstone. Although they have a good relationship with Disney, they still Idle down.

But Sommers is not the kind of person who can endure loneliness. After getting the script of "Tomb Raider", he felt that there was a lot to do, so he started to be active again. But after all, he has just suffered a big defeat. Before the impact of this big defeat disappears, most film companies will inevitably have other considerations. .

Adrian would be a fool if he let go of this kind of fat that came to his door. In any case, at least the first two films of "Tomb Raider" are not bad, and it is a rare sequel that is better than the first blockbuster movie. Not to mention that Rachael would definitely love this, the role of the Cambridge-educated archaeologist.

There is no suspense about this one, as for the other one...

"Frankly speaking, David, you gave me a problem." Putting the script on the table, Adrian sighed and looked at the people behind the desk waiting for their opinions.

"Really?" David Finch raised his eyebrows, waiting for his next words.

"Basically, you don't need to consider the box office of this movie," Adrian spread his hands, "I estimated in my heart that the investment may not be less than 50 million, so it is conceivable. And it's Word-of-mouth will not be very good, of course, in the eyes of niche film lovers, it may be very good, but it will definitely not be welcomed by the mainstream society, so it has no chance of mainstream awards."

"If you want to make money—at least hold the cost—and win more people's praise, then there are many places that need to be revised, such as those scenes that are too fascist, such as the struggle of two personalities, especially the ending, too anarchic It’s bad.” At this point, Adrian raised his hand and stopped Fincher from speaking, “But that’s the problem, if you really change these things, the essence of the whole movie will be ruined Now, it's no different from any normal inspirational or thriller movie, so...you get it?"

Adrian looked at Finch sincerely, and was silent for a few minutes. Finch nodded gloomily: "I see."

Adrian, however, laughed: "No, you don't understand, David."

Finch, who was about to leave, showed a puzzled look, and his smile was teased: "I will invest in this movie, David, and as before, you will be solely responsible for the production."

Finch blinked his eyes in astonishment, and his puzzled expression became more intense. He obviously said a lot of problems before and said that they could not be corrected, so why did he say that he could invest now?

"It's very simple. I believe that as long as this script is in your hands, it will definitely be made into a unique and charming work. From a commercial point of view, it is indeed not worth investing in, but from a filmmaker's point of view, it is very worthwhile. !" Adrian showed his sincere smile again, "Actually, what I want to say is very simple, I am very optimistic about you, David, you are different from Mike, your movies have a strong personal style, this is the author One of the characteristics of the film, but at the same time there is no shortage of commercial methods that are used to the audience, so I always hope that you can strike a balance between commercial and personal, while maintaining a sharp personal style, and can tell the story that attracts most people to watch s story.

The personal style of "Seven Deadly Sins" is a little bit more, so that the whole theme is very depressing and dark, while the previous year's "Psychological Games" was obviously commercialized, with horror and suspense, but the theme was diluted Not a lot. But now in this script, the theme of the story is obviously too radical, and it has fallen into your hands, which has not yet been fully finalized. One can imagine what kind of chemical effect it will produce. You are an excellent director, David, I have always believed in this, but it is not advisable to be too obsessed with your own style, only want to express what you want to express, and blindly pursue commercial value. I hope you can take it to the next level, David, you have the potential to be a great director like Spielberg. "

There was another long silence. Finch closed his eyes and took a sharp breath, then looked at Adrian with piercing eyes, stood up and bowed slightly: "Thank you very much."

"It's nothing." Adrian stood up with a laugh, and patted the opponent's arm vigorously, "Don't think so much, express what you want to express completely in this work, and then start A new journey!"

This script is naturally one of Fincher's masterpieces, "Fight Club". The film is adapted from Chuck Palahniuk's novel, and it has a profound analysis of the day-to-day life of the vast majority of people, but because It is filled with a lot of descriptions of anarchism, and there are organizations similar to fascism, which are not welcomed by mainstream society. However, in the eyes of niche movie lovers, especially fans of cult movies, it is a classic among cult movies.

Therefore, no matter how much the loss is, Adrian will not refuse. Every film company will have a lot of movies with word-of-mouth but no box office. They need money and honor, let alone David Fincher's works. And even if there is no reminder from Adrian, Finch will understand in a year or two. He is constantly groping, so it is absolutely cost-effective to be a good person and tie him further firmly with the company.

That's how the matter was settled. After talking with Finch in detail for two days, Adrian thought of a good idea for someone.

"Are you outside now?!" The voice on the phone sounded a bit weird with surprise.

"Of course, open the door quickly, or I'll leave immediately." Adrian said threateningly, and hung up the phone before the other party could speak again. A few seconds later, the door in front of him opened.

Bypassing the pool in the vestibule, Adrian parked the car outside the villa, and Dennis was already waiting at the door.

"I'm so glad... um... to meet you, Ed, what's the matter?" Dennis hugged him, obviously insincere.

"Why, I can't come if there's nothing wrong?" Adrian asked with a smile.

"No, of course not, I mean..." Dennis made a few gestures, but finally gave up on explaining, and asked helplessly, "What's the matter, Ed?"

"How are you and Jenny doing?" Adrian asked after sitting down in the living room, no longer going around in circles.

When Jennifer was mentioned, Dennis smiled wryly.

"I'm in the cold war. As you said, I keep calling at least once a day and appear in front of her once a day, but..." His tone was full of bitterness, "Ten days have passed, and she is still very cold."

"It's not surprising. Even if it's a coincidence, this matter is too annoying. Keep it up. As long as she calms down, everything will be fine." Adrian persuaded a few words, and then a smirk flashed on his face, " I just thought of a way to speed up the process, as long as you cooperate."

"Really?" Dennis' eyes lit up, but his face changed when he thought of something, and then he said with a smile: "You just need to call me for this kind of thing, why come to me? Or we How about going out and finding another place to talk about it?"

"Oh?" Adrian's expression suddenly became playful, "Why do you need to find another place?"

"Hmm...it's more convenient and concealed..." Dennis stammered, rolling his eyes as if he was thinking of something to say.

"Convenience and concealment? You might as well say that it's because Jane might come back." Adrian's playful smile grew stronger.

"Yes, that's true. Jenny might come back today." Dennis immediately took this excuse over, without feeling ashamed at all, and seemed not to have heard the irony in the other party's words.

Adrian was about to continue to say something, when the answer was revealed, a magnetic and enthusiastic voice came from upstairs: "Who are you talking to, Dan?"

Dennis, who wanted to hide it further, held his face in desperation after hearing the voice, and then, a figure who was not too tall but looked unusually well-proportioned ran down: "Is there a guest?"

This is a very young girl, about 18 years old, with thick black long hair, a slightly square face, and not delicate facial features, but she has an indescribable taste, especially the pair of thick eyebrows. Women's eyebrows need to be thin to look good, but this girl's pair of thick eyebrows make her look very beautiful, coupled with her darker skin, she has a little Latin girl temperament.

"God, you are..." After seeing Adrian clearly, she hesitated for a moment, then remembered, and then exclaimed.

"Yes, I'm Adrian Cowell, miss, may I ask who you are?" Adrian stood up while maintaining a smile, and stretched out his hand.

"I really didn't expect to see you here, Mr. Adrian, I'm really flattered," the girl held his hand without hesitation, the smile on her face was very bright and full of vitality, "My name is Jordan Na Brewster, you can call me Joe or Little Joe, I'm Dan's girlfriend."\u003c/p\u003e
