King of Hollywood

Chapter Fifty-Eighth The previous idle chess and the big boat to be raised

"You guy, other people hold a celebration party after the award ceremony, but you insist on a few days later, is it to show that you are different?" In the corner of Adrian's modern villa, Crowe De laughed and teased his best friend.

"Hey, I'm running around for the company's affairs, how can you talk like this, do you want me to hold parties at home every day?" Adrian spread his hands, as if he had been greatly wronged.

Claude laughed and waved his hands: "Okay, I just said a little bit, so don't be so surprised?"

"If I hear this again, I'll kick you out of here." Adrian threatened half-truth.

"Are you sure?" Claude raised his eyebrows and glanced at the hall meaningfully.

"Hmm... well, I'm joking again." Adrian wanted to insist on it, but after noticing that Sarah, Blanchett, Gwyneth and others cast their eyes at the same time, he had to raise his hands in surrender .

How could a woman close to him not come to this kind of celebration party? So except for Kate who couldn't be there because her belly got bigger day by day, Monica, Julia, Sarah, Liv, Blanchett, and Gwyneth all showed up at the scene. In this case, Adrian is naturally not good at chatting with them. If they are too close, they will make others dissatisfied, and if they are too cold, they will make the people in front of them dissatisfied. It will be even worse if they all come over.

Monica, Julia, and Sarah may not take it to heart, at most Julia will feel upset, but it is hard to say for the other three. Although Liv keeps saying that she doesn't mind these things, she often asks Adrian how his other women are doing when they are dating, as if this situation is normal. But judging from her restraint and shyness after her first night on the beach, and every time she asked about other women's situation, she felt that Adrian would speak too well of the other woman, and then she would die in ng.

So God only knows how Liv will react to this situation, and so do Blanchett and Gwyneth, who know something about him, but that doesn't mean they're willing to face it. A lot of people are like that, knowing that certain situations react differently than seeing certain situations, so jumping into it can turn out to be bad.

Gwyneth is fine, no matter what, she still has something to ask of herself, and preparations for the new movie adapted from Jane Austen have already begun. But Blanchett is different, she is a woman with a very personality, if Adrian hadn't acted early, instilled certain concepts when she had just graduated and was not well-known at all, and used a lot of tricks to get her It is considered to be in the hands temporarily, otherwise it will be very difficult to get her in the bag in a few years.

In short, Adrian will not allow this situation to happen until he is not sure what will happen or completely conquers them, which is why he rarely holds parties at home.

But not now, this is to celebrate his winning the Oscar for Best Director, and he broke the record not only as the youngest Oscar for Best Director, but also won three and a half trophies in the same party, so he had to let Claude Stay by my side at night, pretending to be talking about something to avoid them.

Besides, besides them, the woman who played a friendly match with Adrian and might fight again in the future is also here, not Drew Barrymore or Cameron Diaz, but Cindy Crow Fu.

As one of the batch of supermodels, and "Hope and the City" was broadcast a week before the Oscars, although it was not as amazing as "Friends", under the guidance of Adrian, Xin skipped those immature plots, and Xin Di's sensitivity to fashion has added a lot of points to the TV series - the acting skills are still mediocre - so the first episode of the first season still received a lot of praise, and TNT's subscribers also increased a lot. Even if the increased numbers didn't achieve the expected purpose, but through the audience's feedback, everyone believes that the series will be popular.

Cindy herself has already started to dabble in film and television, so she has gained more attention in this regard, so it is logical that she came to Adrian's celebration party. Because the two are just playing, she doesn't have any scruples like Monica and others, even if Adrian showed that he was discussing things with Claude, she still went to talk to him with a flirtatious look , even with only a few words, Adrian can feel some staring eyes.

It's asking for trouble. He teased himself so much in his heart, but he didn't take it too seriously. He made these arrangements to prevent certain things from happening, not to be afraid of certain things from happening. Even if something unexpected happened, he believed that he could solve it by himself. Goal?

The only thing that made Adrian feel depressed was that Rachel also attended the party, but he went to strike up a conversation because of the current situation. The shooting of "Brave to the Deadly Island" started, and "Independence Day" naturally did not fall. In Studio 34, Rachel played the role of Jeff Goldblum's ex-wife Connie, who is also the female voice of the White House. people.

After returning from San Francisco, Adrian went to the studio of "Independence Day" and talked with Will Smith and director Roland Emmerich, but Rachel kept a certain distance from him, talking Always keep in the sight of others, which makes Adrian feel a little ironic.

Could it be that he will eat her up if he chats a few words? He shook his head and sighed in his heart - but, if you think about it carefully, it's still the same. The first time in London, after chatting for an afternoon, he put her on netg; the second time in Prague, because he went out with him, so He was half-forced into the hotel room.

However, she thought she would decline the invitation to the party, but Rachel agreed after hesitating for a while.

"It's great of you to agree." Adrian said in a relieved tone at that time, with a smile, he looked at Rachel intently, and Rachel smiled when he heard his words, a little reluctantly. It's a bit complicated.

I don't know if she has noticed anything, and what kind of impact these will have on her. Adrian couldn't help but think so when he glanced at Rachel, but now is not the time to talk about it.

"Okay, let's talk about something serious." Adrian waved his hand, then changed the subject, "You said on the phone that you would increase the amount of financing. Are you serious, Crowe?"

"Although I don't want to admit it, it's a pity that we have to do this." Claude sighed, "Eisner is indeed a powerful person who has experienced ups and downs. Although it is only a small advantage, he has always maintained it. Not very good."

Adrian couldn't help but frowned slightly. Ever since Eisner used rumors to gain the upper hand, he has maintained this advantage. Claude used many methods and once regained the situation, but he quickly regained the upper hand. Pulled back by the opponent.

Up to now, this acquisition battle has become a stalemate, and they have also taken advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune, but it is still impossible to get rid of the situation of being acquired. If this continues, the prospects of the media are not optimistic, so Claude thinks about increasing the amount of financing, trying to regain the opportunity, but in this way...

"Do what you think is appropriate," Adrian made a decision after thinking for a few minutes. He is not good at this aspect, so everything is subject to Claude's judgment, "As long as the company's control is still there ..."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly closed his mouth, and the previous move of idle chess suddenly jumped into his mind.

"I think that although Eisner is very capable and powerful, and has developed Disney from a company with a market value of more than one billion to this point, there should be enemies inside, right?" Adrian asked suddenly.

"That's for sure, with his tough style of being self-indulgent and arbitrary, he will definitely offend many people." Claude nodded, "It's not a good idea, Ed, even if There are people in Disney who are dissatisfied, and they will not drag him down at this time, unless Eisner makes a major mistake in decision-making."

"What if he did make a major mistake?" Adrian's eyes lit up.

"If it is true?" Claude turned his head to look at him immediately, "What did you think of, Ed?"

"He has indeed made a major mistake," Adrian said with a smile. "As long as it drags on for three months, after the summer vacation comes, Disney's top management will know how wrong Eisner was."

"Three months? Summer vacation?" Claude looked at him puzzled, "What are you talking about?"

"You should remember, Crowe, I warned you at the beginning." Adrian's smile grew stronger.

"You mean..." Claude recalled it carefully for a moment, and finally remembered, "You mean that!"

"That's right, that's the one." Adrian nodded without waiting for him to finish, "I said it would be a hit, and it will be a hit. Be hasty and regret it.”

"Okay, okay, you are a miracle director, you are a gold medal editor, you have gold fingers, and if you say it's a big hit, it must be a big hit." Claude teased him in a helpless tone, then bowed his head and pondered, It took about a few minutes for him to lift up again: "I made a rough assessment. If it is indeed very popular and received favorable comments from the vast majority of people, although it cannot be regarded as a particularly major mistake, it is still enough to make Disney's internal Luan has been on for a while."

"Then just wait and see, the result will be known in at most three months." Adrian said confidently.

At the beginning, the postponement to this summer vacation was to consider whether it would play a role in the acquisition battle. I didn’t expect that not only would it really play a role, but it might also be the key to turning the situation around. It seems that God is still on my side side.

Having said that, the specific assessment still needs more detailed information, so Adrian returned to the office the next day and began to sort out the things that Claude needed.

As for what happened to the party at the end, it’s actually nothing. Several women left one after another in a calm manner. Monica was the first, then Sarah, followed by Julia, and then Blanche. Te and Gwyneth, Liv at the end.

Adrian can always appear by the side when they leave, and then send them away. This is the only time in the whole party when he is alone with them, and he doesn't say more than ten words in total. The women are actually very smart, and they didn't say much, they just bid farewell to him in their own way.

Monica and Sarah were both intimate, neither warm nor cold; while Julia took advantage of his inattention and nudged his ribs gently with her elbow; Blanchett She kept a few inches away from him, and hugged him politely before getting into the car; Gwyneth smiled and took his hand and walked to the door, but she didn't express anything else; only Liv, still smiling With that indifferent expression, he shook Adrian's arm and wanted to stay.

This is of course a joke, but her mother, Bibi Bill, has repeatedly warned that she will go back after the end. So in the end, Adrian spent the night alone "lonely" and "lonely". Oh, by the way, there was Charlize, but unfortunately she went back to her room to rest long before the end of the party, which was very regrettable and depressing.

As for Rachel, she left before Gwyneth, and Adrian also sent her to the door, but the distance between the two was longer than that of Blanchett, and there was nothing but "goodbye" from beginning to end. Not a word was spoken.

Well, I returned to Adrian's office. Apart from sorting out the required materials for Claude, he was also discussing the amazing masterpiece with a guy who had an appointment.

"The interior looks pretty good, especially the details. It's almost the same as the original one. I can imagine how much effort you put into it." Adrian held up two photos taken to the interior of the room, one in color and one in color. Zhang Heihei, after looking at it for a long time, said so in admiration.

"Of course, to make such a huge and excellent movie, we must pay attention to the details." James Cameron said proudly, but then sighed: "I decided to only build half of the cabin, and just flip it over when shooting. gone."

James Cameron returned to Los Angeles at the end of January after several months of investigation in the Atlantic Ocean, and then went to Mexico non-stop to choose a place to start building a 1:1 model ship. The chosen place is still Rosarito, which is close to the Pacific Ocean. This place has a wide terrain and good scenery. More importantly, no matter what the cost is, it is lower than in California. If it is in San Jose or San Diego, the rental fee of the venue alone is enough People u hurt.

"Oh?" Adrian raised his eyebrows in surprise, and then smiled slightly jokingly, "Unexpectedly, you will be frugal again, James, when you were investigating the wreck of the Titanic on the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean. Why didn't you think of it?"

"I know," Cameron coughed dryly, "it was because the hua pin was too big at that time, so I... can't blame me, Ed, when you go deep into the bottom of the sea and observe that big ship from a distance that you have never seen The feeling of shock is indescribable, and the Titanic was indeed the peak of the industrial level at that time."

"Yeah, yeah, it's like, I don't really want to buy this thing, but it's so outstanding, so I have to pay for it-this excuse is really familiar, let me think about it..." Adrian pointed He tapped his temples, and then showed a look of sudden realization, "Women often say that when they go shopping."

"Okay, Ed, I've already decided to reduce the cost of shooting, what else do you want? Is it the right way to pay for the budget?" Cameron spread his hands helplessly.

"When will the filming start?" Adrian smiled and changed the subject. Cameron had already talked about this at the party last night, but because of certain things, he was invited to talk about it today.

"It can start after entering the summer vacation at the latest." Cameron gave the answer after a little thought.

"If it's decided, remember to inform me to transfer the third fund into the account." Adrian nodded. Although he promised to invest 200 million, he remitted it in batches. So much money is also because Adrian can be sure that if it arrives at once, Cameron will definitely spend it without hesitation.

"Are you going to prepare for casting next?" He asked again immediately.

"Yes-you have a suitable candidate?" How could Cameron not understand what Adrian meant.

"Almost, the heroine has already thought of it, and the actor is still considering several alternatives." Adrian nodded, "Well, you should go through a few auditions first, and after you have a more specific image of the character , when I finish working on the new movie, we'll stream it again in full."

"No problem." Cameron immediately agreed.

The conversation ended here. After Cameron left, Adrian immediately wrote a specific opinion for Claude about what he said at the party. Only by letting Claude understand what he thinks can he get the most out of it. Interests.

As for the huge production of "Titanic", it has all been given to Cameron anyway, and the only thing to worry about is money. This guy burns money and burns money, but the quality of the film he produces is guaranteed. As for the male and female protagonists, the male protagonist is indeed still hesitating. Leonardo is certainly good, but why not leave the opportunity to his own people? Of course, it depends on what Cameron thinks about this, because the heroine has already been decided, and he doesn't plan to give it to others.

Adrian is really not interested in "féi Wen". In his opinion, the plumpness of Rachel is enough. If he hadn't made other arrangements for Rachel, he really wanted her to try this role.

"Mr. Adrian." The answering machine on the desk rang, and Charlize's businesslike tone came out, which made Adrian shake his head a little funny, but her next sentence made his The smile became irresistible: "Miss Kirsten is here."

"Let her in," he said, rubbing his chin. \u003c/p\u003e
