King of Hollywood

Chapter 218 Various things

Adrian finally decided to take the ownership of Pixar. The possible changes in Jobs' loss of Pixar are just speculations, and he has no real evidence to prove his speculations. Moreover, from the perspective of chaos theory, he is a butterfly, and others are also butterflies. He is flapping his wings, and others are also flapping their wings, so everything in the future is still unpredictable.

Besides, Jobs has been calculating how to go back since the day he was kicked out by Apple. This will not change because Pixar is sold, maybe because he can focus more on NeXT. Return to Apple more smoothly and take power. Moreover, even if something happens to Apple in the future, it is not necessarily an indispensable link in the whole plan he conceived, and there are many other profitable projects.

Although foresight is Adrian's advantage, if he relies too much on it, he will easily become shy later. This is not the mentality that a successful person should have. Since he can gamble on movies, why can't he be in other things? What about the above? As long as he always knows what he's supposed to do.

The matter was settled in this way, and Adrian then refocused all his attention on the movie. Although he was mostly thinking about how to make decisions in the past few days, he also asked about other things.

One-third of the post-production of "Philadelphia Story" has been completed. Demi believes in slow work and careful work, so the editing is not fast, and it is expected to be basically completed by the end of next month. The reason why it is said to be basically completed is that Adrian did not give Demi the final editing rights of the film out of insurance.

In Hollywood, the final editing rights of most movies are in the hands of the producer, because the director only considers how to express the story in the script in his own way, and the producer must consider the commercial value of the movie. The plot is more compact and more entertaining. Although some directors have won the final editing rights because of their outstanding performance, they are only limited to one movie. If other movies are made, this power is still in the hands of the producer.

Therefore, in order to make the movie play according to their own wishes, the directors often competed with the producers for the final editing rights. Although a few people were successful, most of them failed under the Hollywood system.

Of course, most well-known directors, such as Spielberg, Coppola, and Scorsese have the final editing rights of the films they direct, but when they exercise this power, they will also put themselves in the producer's shoes. Think from a perspective. And among the young new directors, only Adrian has this power. Who made him the director, producer and boss?

Demi did not have any objection to Adrian retaining the final editing rights. First, he promised to respect the director's opinion; second, he provided the script, and he himself is an excellent director. Therefore, Demi believes that it should be very convenient to communicate, and there will be no situation where the producer does not understand but insists on the film according to his opinion.

As for "True Lies", all the shots have been filmed under the supervision of the tyrant, and then he went on vacation, saying that only after a good rest can the post-production be done better, anyway, other editors will follow the script first The sub-shots are edited, and then he will do cross-editing and other work according to the montage technique.

Adrian didn't bother to care about him, anyway, Cameron was in charge of the film, and all the rights—including the final editing rights—were given to him, as long as the final result was what he wanted, so Adrian The time that should be spent on this movie is spent on Sarah.

Compared with more than a month ago, the girl has become much more beautiful, and she is now receiving various trainings from the company under the arrangement of her agent. Sarah studied hard and worked hard, and the teacher in the acting class was not stingy with praise, but that gloomy temperament still appeared between her eyebrows from time to time, although it was faint, it always existed.

"It takes time. Some things are not developed overnight, and naturally they cannot be changed overnight." Sarah said to Adrian who came to see her at home, her expression was very flat, and she seemed to be very serious. open.

But she quickly showed a smile, although there was a bit of depression in the smile: "I have learned a lot since I starred in "True Lies" until now, so I believe that I will adjust it soon."

"This is very good. You can also do something you like to do to improve your mood when you are resting, such as hiking and exercising." Adrian nodded in approval.

"Yes, I'm learning Taekwondo." Sarah kept her slightly depressed smile, as if she was worried about something.

"Taekwondo?" Adrian was slightly surprised, but then returned to his normal look, "Well, as far as a girl is concerned, practicing these things is also beneficial."

Although this thing is not very useful in actual combat, it is still good for women's figures. This is also a kind of exercise. Just think about Charlize's body that is quite resilient because of practicing ballet. Adrian shook his head subtly to interrupt his thoughts, and then got up to leave.

He didn't intend to say anything more, since Sarah came to the office to look for him on her own initiative, there was a layer of estrangement between the two of them. Very faint, if he hadn't been paying close attention to her and understanding her, he would hardly be aware of it. Thinking about it, Sarah is different from Kirsten after all. There are not many strange things like Kirsten who can do business at a young age, so even if Sarah asked for it, the shadow in her heart is inevitable. There will still be.

"Then that's it, I'll take my leave for now." Adrian said, some things can't be rushed.

"Would you like to sit down any longer?" Roselan who came out of the kitchen with the baked snacks asked in surprise.

"Thank you, but no need, I have other things, and Sarah should prefer to stay with you more." Adrian said after looking at Sarah with a smile.

"I often persuade her to go out with her friends more, but she always says that staying by my side is enough." Roselan couldn't help but sigh.

"Mom" Sarah groaned with some complaints.

"Okay, okay," Roselan laughed, and patted Sarah's head affectionately, "It's much better now."

Sarah shook her head and strode up to Adrian: "I'll take you out, Ed."

After coming out of the house, the two of them didn't speak again until they reached the car parked in front of their house.

"Let's go here." Adrian said as he opened the car door. He came to Sarah's house alone.

"Ed," Sarah called out suddenly after hesitating for a few seconds, "I can... I can... If I play outside too late and don't want to go back, can I stay at your place?"

Adrian was slightly taken aback, and after thinking for a few seconds, he smiled and replied: "Of course, but it's not suitable recently, and I have to go back to New York to continue filming new movies in a few days, so let's wait until I come back next time." Bar."

Sarah didn't say anything more, just watched him get in the car and leave.

Reserved girl. Adrian muttered so on the way back. He finally understood what Sarah was worried about, and she was obviously aware of the barrier, and now only Adrian is paying, which is not what a deal should be.

This should be a typical manifestation of insecurity, and it is not surprising to think about Sarah's experience. Adrian couldn't help feeling a little pity in his heart, but at the same time he chuckled twice, which also meant that certain things would be easier.

It's just that Sarah's words were slightly oblique. If it were Kirsten's words, I'm afraid she wouldn't even say a word and went directly to the bed and waited. Adrian shrugged, but couldn't help but wonder what would happen if it were another girl.

Fortunately, he quickly came back to his senses, shook his head with a grin, and started driving with all his heart.

In addition to Sarah, Adrian also went to the record company to pay attention to the next two future pop queens in the past few days. In the mouth or in the collection, it still takes a lot of work.

Britney and Christina, who have already signed a contract with the record company, currently have nothing else to do except go to the company to participate in training every day after class. Na is only under 13 years old, and she has to wait at least 2 to 3 years to release a record, so learning more things to enrich herself is what she should do now.

The two girls worked very hard and have been officially revoked. The former partners have all returned to their hometowns, and only the two of them are still in Los Angeles, so I cherish this opportunity very much. Besides, label boy groups are so popular right now, who knows if they'll be next?

"If I have time, I will visit you often." After calling the two little girls to the corner, Adrian said, "Do you know why?"

Britney and Christina looked at each other, then shook their heads tacitly.

"Because you two were selected by me, I will never allow myself to fail, so don't let me down." Adrian said seriously.

"Yes, sir, I will." Christina said quickly, puffing out her chest. She was a year older than Britney and more mature.

It took a few seconds for Britney to react, and then she nodded desperately: "Yes, sir, I promise."

"Very well, as long as you do what I tell you, you will be successful." Adrian nodded, "Of course, don't tell others these words, so be it."

It is best to start brainwashing from an early age, especially when the Three Views are formed, and even brainwashing must be treated differently.

"By the way, Britney, stay a little longer." Just as the two little girls were about to leave, Adrian suddenly stopped Britney again.

Then, one step, two steps, three steps... Finally, Christina, who walked a few feet away, turned her head quickly, and Adrian, who seemed to be looking at Britney, chuckled inwardly, and then said to the little girl in front of her speak up. ()
