King of Hollywood

\u003e Chapter 110 Busy with Coping

There are huge crowds of people outside the theater, and large posters with different shapes of the main characters stand around, attracting the attention of countless people, and many movie fans will take pictures in front of the posters. As for the area around the red carpet, it was already crowded with crowds, fanatical movie fans waving their arms, and entertainment reporters carrying equipment on their shoulders, crowding the surroundings tightly. Although the pain from two months ago has not completely healed, people are still alive after all. It still needs entertainment, not to mention such a grand premiere.

Needless to say, a group of well-known leading actors and executives from Universal, the executives from Marvel Comics and several authors are also here, Stan? Old man Li was full of momentum when he walked the red carpet. Then, people from other film companies who wanted to get a share of Marvel comics also came, and many big-name stars and directors also came. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is grand.

After Adrian finished dealing with the reporters outside, he came to the front hall of the theater and began to shuttle among the crowd. As before, he came alone, and it was a reason not to let the reporters play. The one at the premiere...is bigger s reason.

"Frankly speaking, I still have some regrets. After all, the world view of comics is too big, and many details cannot be shown in more than 100 minutes, even if it is more than three hundred minutes." Several film company executives and Marvel Comics In front of the author, Adrian talked eloquently.

"Does Adrian want to launch a TV version?" Sony's Taylor? Rhett then interjected, laughing.

"A good note, maybe it can really be considered—what do you think, Stan?" Adrian shrugged and turned to look at Stan? plum.

"Let me talk about this after I shine in the movie first, Ed." The old man said humorously, which immediately attracted a lot of laughter.

Back when Spider-Man was being made, Stan? Lee made a cameo, playing an old guy who exclaimed after seeing Spider-Man fly overhead, and he wasn't cut off after the official release like in his previous life, so when shooting "X-Men" Came to play a cameo again, and it is expected that he will continue to play a guest in the future. Naturally, I don’t want to change from a guest movie to a guest TV series.

Among the few people, apart from the people from Universal, the people from Sony had the happiest smile. They not only invested in the "X-Men" series with Universal, but also obtained part of the copyright. Of course, Surprise has the final right of interpretation, and it can be withdrawn when necessary, but Adrian also said in private that unless there are very special circumstances, the character copyright can be arranged by them at will during the contract period, as long as they communicate with Surprise.

However, other film companies are not particularly jealous. It has been preliminarily confirmed that "Fantastic Four" is produced by Paramount, and they are allies with each other. Although the second film is not very good, the box office of the first film is indeed good. , with a little guidance, maybe the second part can avoid losses. And "The Incredible Hulk" was prepared for Fox out of his bad taste. This superhero is not so easy to make into a look that mainstream audiences like. If they also invite Ang Lee to direct it, they will be courting death.

Of course, if Fox is willing to ask him for a good word, he doesn't mind giving some pointers, after all, this is related to another Marvel series. Moreover, even if the media and News Corporation, Universal and Fox are all potential competitors, they can also cooperate properly in the competition, can't they?

As for Disney, they are still vacillating, and the media has a big problem with them. Miramax and Miramax were both snatched from them by the media. Eisner is a very arrogant guy. If Ann and Crowder hadn't come out from the sidelines, Disney would definitely be stronger now-this is a fact, another fact, although it really came into play after he stepped down.

So if they want to cooperate, they must lower their attitude, which will inevitably make him very uncomfortable. But Adrian doesn't care. The power of the media is obvious to all. As long as Disney wants to get a piece of the pie, what's the problem with lowering its profile? There will be no chance if it is later, and the treatment of choosing one of "Daredevil" and "Captain America" ​​is not something other film companies can have. This is a goodwill expression.

Well, he admits it's as badass as giving The Incredible Hulk to Fox, but no one can be sure that the movie will lose money, maybe they'll find the right director and production, and make a great one and say no must.

"I admit that your enthusiasm surprised me, but don't you think it's a little early to talk about this now?" After changing a group of people, Adrian talked about another topic, "Yes, I admit that it was my first It was proposed, but I just asked you to do some conceptual preparations. It’s too early to propose it. After most superheroes have fully realized their value, after the audience started to get tired of Marvel’s superheroes, at that time we You can surprise them, and Marvel will continue to lead in this regard."

There is no doubt that the people here are the top executives of Marvel Comics, and they are talking about "The Avengers". After Adrian first proposed this concept, many people in Marvel were tempted. "Spider-Man" has proved that their superheroes are popular, and the prospects of "X-Men" are also very promising. The director has a great reputation, so he quickly proposed a series of plans,

Adrian understands their feelings. After all, surprise has been suppressed for a long time. It was nothing in the 1950s and 1960s, but as soon as the "Superman" movie came out, it immediately surpassed surprise. Although Marvel released its own superhero movie after a few years, such as the TV movie in 1991, it was a pity that there were a lot of bad reviews, so it never surpassed it.

Now, they've seen the light of day. The big hits of "Spider-Man" have proved that audiences are tired of those high-end superheroes, and now it's time for Marvel's flawed superheroes to be popular. Just think what a win it would be if the Avengers came out before the Justice League.

But none of them were dazzled, so they all accepted after Adrian explained. After all, if Director Miracle wasn't interested, he wouldn't have mentioned it in the first place.

This is another function of the movie premiere, and many receptions also have this function, providing an occasion that is not as formal as a conference room, so that people can communicate about certain things more easily. Of course, no matter what happens, there are two sides. While it is easier to communicate, it also makes a playboy like Adrian a little busy.

"I'm starting to worry a little bit now. Many friends think that this role is not very suitable for me. It lacks a bit of capable temperament, and it doesn't look like a superhero, except for Julie." Zeta Jones said to Adrian in the corner.

Although she sighed, she didn't look worried at all with a smile on her face. She was sexy and charming as always, very tempting.

"It's true, but it's because you are so beautiful, especially when you are wearing a uniform and glasses, no one will be tempted." Adrian replied with a smile.

"I knew it," Zeta Jones' smile became more charming, "You like this, and you thought your taste had changed."

As he spoke, he glanced at the distance calmly, Harley? Barry was laughing and chatting with others over there. Her dark and delicate skin made her look healthy, and her short hair made her look very temperamental. Just before Zeta Jones came over, she and Adrian were talking and laughing.

"As long as you are in front of me, nothing will change." Adrian shrugged.

This sentence can also be understood as, if there are other women in front of you, then forget it. Zeta-Jones also knew, but some choices cannot be turned back, not to mention, there is nothing wrong with this, so when she came over and heard Harry's intentional or unintentional hint, she immediately took the conversation away.

For a woman like her who knows how to read her face, Adrian has never treated her badly, so she changed the subject at this moment: "Speaking of which, you should be ready. I will get someone to give you the script at the beginning of next month at the latest."

"Are you going to take the mirror?" Zeta Jones' eyes lit up, she could see something better than other women.

"No," Adrian shook his head, and then laughed, "Don't worry, dear Kate, since I recommend it to you, it will definitely have its own characteristics. Although it is only a supporting role, but..."

He made a gesture and didn't continue, just blinked his eyes, but Zeta Jones immediately understood, and couldn't help feeling a little excited. He was obviously talking about the original agreement. Will he finally give it to her? But at the same time, she felt a little lost. In this case, it might not be so easy for her to go further.

"I'm really looking forward to it." She smiled even more charmingly.

"Then I'm sorry for the time being." It's a pity that Adrian didn't give her a chance to continue, and bowed gracefully to leave.

Zeta Jones didn't care either, she was used to his attitude, as long as she was by his side, she would have no chance, just like she did back then.

This kind of situation is already considered good. After all, mature women know how to restrain themselves. Even if they don't like each other, they won't show it. Therefore, Adrian can have both sides, but if it is a young girl.

"Let's put it this way, Kirsten, I don't like you, I don't like you at all, you are just a spoiled guy." Scarlett pointed at Kirsten unceremoniously.

"Okay, then let me tell you, I don't like you either, Scarlett, you're also a self-centered guy." Kirsten retorted with a sneer while crossing his arms.

"Okay, girls, please pay attention to the occasion." Adrian, standing between the two, wanted to smooth things over.

"Shut up, Ed! I know where this is, I'm already quiet!"

"Shut up, Ed! I know where this is, I'm already quiet!"

The two said almost in unison, with such an imposing manner that even Adrian couldn't help leaning back. Immediately, the two came to their senses, stared at each other after being surprised, turned around and walked in opposite directions.

Adrian sighed. This was the last scene he wanted to see. In this case, no matter who he chased after, the other would not be happy. After thinking about it, he still went in the direction Kirsten left first. go.

"When I came here, I seemed to hear that you guys were arguing about which comic character is the funniest, but how did it suddenly become a personal accusation?" Adrian walked to the side where he was sullen and stood alone Kirsten's side, asked in a curious and reassuring tone.

"I don't like her, Ed." Seeing that Adrian came to him first, Kirsten smiled immediately, but when he heard this question, he pursed his lips and looked at him, looking angry, sad and wronged , "There was already a quarrel before, I didn't care about it, and led the topic to other places, but she still didn't let it go."

"Well...it's normal. Everyone has a stubborn side. If you don't like the other person, then just don't talk to her in the future." Adrian shrugged.

"Do you think I'm that kind of spoiled woman?" Kirsten asked suddenly, biting her lip and looking unhappy and reconciled.

"Of course not," Adrian laughed, "You just... lack a sense of security."

Kirsten, who was aroused, fell silent immediately. Indeed, the reason why she matured precociously and dared to take everything she had to gamble was indeed due to this factor.

"Actually, Scarlett is the same as you, her parents are divorced, so why bother confronting her over a trivial matter." Adrian struck while the iron was hot.

"Really?" Kirsten was a little surprised, and immediately snorted after receiving an affirmative answer: "Well, I know, but I still don't like her."

Then he gave Adrian another sideways look: "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking."

Adrian laughed: "Okay, I see, it's fine if you don't talk to her in the future, but Kiki, don't you think you should have a friend?"

"I have a lot of friends." Kirsten puzzled.

"No, no, I mean..." Adrian's smile became a little bad, and he whispered a few words in her ear.

Kirsten was a little stunned at first, and then his face turned reddish immediately. He narrowed his eyes and watched Adrian just about to speak, but was startled again, because a dog touched her thigh, and for a moment I kept counting on my buttocks to go away. There are not many people here, and it is a 90-degree corner. Kirsten is wearing a long skirt with high forks, so she doesn't have to worry about being seen. narrowed into a line. Although she looked calm, the trembling corners of her mouth had already explained something. After a while, she finally let out a soft ah, and her tense body softened.

"I knew it," Kirsten took a breath, and after being so stimulated, she finally lost her previous gloomy look and became charming, "Then, did you and her..."

"No, that's why I asked you to come," Adrian shrugged. "It would be more interesting to have one more person."

This has been said very bluntly, but he is not worried at all. Others may need to consider it, but he doesn't have to be so polite to Kirsten. You must know that she was the character who took the initiative to make a deal with him at the beginning, and he has not spent less time on her in the past few years, and she has always been obedient.

"There are still many places I haven't visited." Kirsten snorted immediately.

She did agree, but it was conditional. She has always liked to have sex in the wild, seeking the excitement of the sky and the ground, in the lake of Adrian's English manor, in the forest where "Lord of the Rings" was filmed in New Zealand, all I have left my own traces, so I ask to talk about this after tasting all the world-renowned mountains and rivers.

But Adrian's judgment was correct, and she agreed immediately: "However, since it's your playboy's request, then I can only agree."

Kirsten stopped at this point, and looked at him with gray-green eyes without blinking. Adrian smiled slightly, and leaned over to kiss the corner of her mouth in front of everyone.

Finally got this one done, but there's one more thing to get done.

"You shouldn't quarrel with her, Scarlett, you know this is your premiere." Adrian said after calling Scarlett out of the crowd.

"If you're just talking about these things, then I'd better go back." Scarlett was quite indifferent, and she didn't even give him a direct look, but the high breasts that were deliberately puffed up to make herself look like she didn't care. Some are counterproductive.

"You have to know that she grew up in a single-parent family just like you, even earlier than you, so she is very precocious, and at the same time has a strong sense of insecurity. Once she forms self-protection, she will inevitably become aggressive. You Why bother with her?" Adrian explained patiently.

"Really?" Scarlett showed much more surprise than Kirsten. Firstly, she was younger than her, and secondly, all the things she encountered were relatively better than her.

"Yes." Adrian nodded seriously, and then briefly described Kirsten's family, of course, with a little artistic processing.

"...No wonder." Scarlett sighed after listening, and seemed to be no longer angry with Kirsten, but immediately narrowed her eyes and looked at Adrian: "So you took advantage of her to play with her ?”

Being able to have a good relationship with Adrian, being able to win the Best Supporting Actress when she was young, and being able to play the role of Spider-Man's girlfriend, if she said that she never slept with him, no one would believe it. Of course, Scarlett is still very open, otherwise she would not take the initiative to climb into Adrian's bed.

"Hey, Scarlett, that's not a good word." Adrian immediately smiled and made a stop gesture. Didn't you enclose yourself by saying that?

Immediately, Scarlett also thought of this, and couldn't help but blush a little. After coughing in embarrassment, her face straightened: "But I still don't like her."

"Okay, okay, just don't meet in the future, and even if we meet, you can ignore her without talking or talking." Adrian was a little funny.

The two of them are really a couple, and they even say the same thing, but it is basically impossible to get them together. Their personalities are somewhat similar but very different. They had a quarrel tonight. It is enough to say that you don't like each other. But it doesn't matter, he happened to have already made arrangements in his heart, everything he should have will be there.

Look at Scarlett who has started to smile, it's almost the same, she is relatively easy to appease, so Adrian went to Kirsten first.

Just then, a familiar voice came over: "Hey, Ed?"
