King of Hollywood

Chapter 133 Investing in the future

The mainland premiere of "Moulin Rouge" was held at the Dream Theater of the Iron Tower. This theater was officially opened in 1998. It is the first Broadway-style song and dance dinner theater in mainland China. It has the title of Moulin Rouge in the capital. Also and fit. It is said that in order to host the premiere of "Moulin Rouge", the theater was specially decorated in bright red, so that the interior looks no different from the Moulin Rouge in Paris.

"It's nothing special, the traces of imitation are too heavy." Nicole criticized unceremoniously. The film premiered at the Moulin Rouge in France. No matter how the Eiffel Tower Dream Theater is decorated, it is impossible to match the original taste. Even so, she had a smug look on her face, as if she was very satisfied with the arrangement of the reception party.

This is a matter of course. It has been opened for more than 20 years and has achieved certain results. The Chinese are eager to promote themselves to the world. Nicole is the first international superstar to attend the film premiere here. And she is now more famous than in her previous life at this moment, not to mention the best actress nomination for "American Beauty". As the favorite of the best actress, China naturally has to treat it with the highest standards for celebrities.

In addition to the gorgeous premiere, the "Interview with Yang Lan" was also discussed before. This program was launched last year, and the interviews were with some high-end celebrities, but it was not as serious and formal as the "High-end Interview" that has not yet aired. Perfect for Nicole. Moreover, Yang Lan has also gone to the United States for further studies, so she knows what topics are suitable and what is not, and how to compliment her. Moreover, no international superstar has appeared on this program since it started broadcasting.

Speaking of it, it was also because I was busy at the time that I didn't notice this woman, otherwise it would be good to play while she was in the United States.

"I just like you like this." Adrian's reaction was a hey smile, "What you say is always the opposite of what you say in your body."

As she spoke, the moving hand under the skirt went further. After Nicole rolled her eyes at him, she stuck to his body with a charming smile and slowly twisted, teasing him further with her body.

Adrian also attended the premiere, but she was sitting in the audience. Nicole on the stage was really glamorous. The several coping plans drawn up in advance won her a lot of applause. If Huayi and the others cooperate if. I believe her popularity in the mainland will rise to a big level. Although Adrian did not attend, he also recorded a video and played it on the spot. He said some polite words such as praising the mainland and hoping that the audience would like it. .

But it’s just a few sentences, it’s enough to express my importance to the mainland market and audience, there’s no need to speak Chinese the whole time. To be honest, watching myself speaking Chinese on the screen under the stage, it feels really weird.

Don't worry about things after that, he didn't have much hope for the box office of "Moulin Rouge" in China. It is enough to have North America and Europe. It has been released in North America for more than 2 months, and the box office has exceeded 60 million. In addition, in Europe—especially popular in France—it is not a problem to recover the cost, so he has enough Use your time and energy elsewhere, such as——

"No, no, no, dear. That's too troublesome. I'm leaving tomorrow, and the filming on your side should be almost finished, right? I've talked to Director Zhang, so don't worry. When you return to Los Angeles, I will I will check carefully whether you are plump or thin." The night outside was getting darker. And Adrian was sitting by the bed, holding a mobile phone and talking on the phone with Keren over there with a smile, "But now, I want to hear your shēn moan, yes, shēn moan."

The girl over there reprimanded a few words in a soft Taiwanese accent and then lowered her voice. After a few seconds, the low-pitched singing came over. Adrian couldn't help showing a look of admiration, he almost You can picture in your mind the appearance of the other party holding the phone with half-closed eyes and soothing the sensitive part between your tuǐ. Immediately, the height below increased a little, and a low cry was heard.

Adrian immediately made a "shh" gesture to the girl kneeling in front of him. Ivanka gave him a blank look, and the pair of stalwarts clamped even harder, and he couldn't help but take a deep breath.

It was right not to let Lin Chiling come over. Otherwise, he would have to deal with the three women separately at the same time. It is not easy to pinch them together. Lin Chiling may compromise, but Ivanka and Nicole definitely will not. Just like today, when Adrian revealed a little bit, Ivanka refused very simply. Although Nicole didn't do this, she directly stated that such a special service would require a large fee.

"500 million dollars." She opened her hand and said with a half-smile.

It's really expensive. You know, in Los Angeles now, I fly with her and Naomi almost every time, but her fee has never been raised, so it's enough to explain her attitude, and Adrian also put it away. thought about it. But one advantage is that it fully reflects the rumors of his playboy. In the past two days, the bosses of several media companies have taken turns hosting banquets. Outside the first night, he either brought Ivanka to attend or brought Nicole. Attendance, coupled with the intimate and ambiguous address they had given to Lin Chiling before, and they have further collected relevant information about him, they may not be able to see through other aspects, but they understand it clearly.

Therefore, in a chat, the younger Wang Zhonglei came forward to make insinuations: "To be honest, Miss Kidman is very beautiful in "Moulin Rouge". Mr. Kewell seems to be able to grasp the characteristics of women. I wonder if you appreciate What type of Asian woman or Chinese woman?"

"Well," Adrian smiled, "it should be Xiaojiabiyu's type."

"Can you be more specific?" Wang Zhonglei, who already knew that he had a deep understanding of China, was not surprised by his use of idioms, but continued to ask.

"How should I put it..." He thought for a few minutes, "You know, most Western women are enthusiastic and lively, while most Eastern women are gentle and pleasant, just like the difference between oil painting and ink painting, the color and composition of the former are clear clear, while the latter has a hazy feeling that can only be understood but cannot be expressed. Therefore, although there are some gentle and pleasant types among Western women, compared with Oriental women, the delicate and lovely hazy taste is It's much worse."

"Can you give me an example?" Wang Zhonglei asked unwillingly.

"Sorry, I have only been here for a few days. Although I know a lot about China from various materials, they are all things on paper after all. Some things can only be known by seeing them in person." Adrian said with a smile, After a pause, he continued: "If you really want me to give an example, I happened to watch an advertisement for Qingzui lozenges on the TV in the hotel these two days, and that female model is very good."

The Wang brothers couldn't help but frowned slightly together, but they didn't know what Adrian was thinking, so they exchanged glances and didn't mention it again. But before they could take any action, Adrian left by plane after taking Nicole and Ivanka to Badaling for a day, because the entire itinerary was only scheduled for three days from the beginning.

It's not that Adrian doesn't want to try the mainland style. It's just that here is different from Japan, South Korea and Taiwan. The latter three are all looking forward to the United States, and they have been dealing with American companies for a long time, and they are basically docile. The mainland and the United States are completely two worlds, and this is the first face-to-face contact. Before letting them taste the sweetness, Adrian will not easily give them a handle, even if the handle is small, even if it is possible. very small.

Anyway, it's not like I won't come in the future, after the production of "Hero" is completed. It is necessary to come and see for the release in North America. At that time, they should see his sincerity clearly, and then other things will come naturally, and it will not be a problem to play Shuangice by then.

Although it was only a short three days, Adrian was serious about discussing things with Huayi and New Picture, such as some specific thoughts on the future Chinese film market, and Or the North American release of "Biggest" - Adrian took a lot of time. Finally, I found some relevant information about "Big Wrist" in North America in my memory. In my previous life, this movie was only shown in two theaters, and it was only played for three days. It was obviously cheated. No wonder Feng Xiaogang would say Saying that, even if it wasn't Weinstein who cheated him but Sony.

Without Adrian meddling. Columbia will invest in this film, so Sony is in charge of overseas distribution rights, and the Japanese's careful thinking is obvious. The misleading of Chinese films in the 1990s has also been concluded in previous lives. But now that the source of funds has been replaced by Bosworth, and the media has a controlling stake in Huayi Brothers, it will not be a problem to get the overseas distribution rights of this film, and Adrian will not go to the film as badly as the Japanese Pit them.

It's a pity that Rosamund Kwan is a bit old. Twenty years ago, he might still be interested. Now, he doesn't have that many golf balls.

Of course, no matter what, he only played a supporting role, that's the same sentence. If A Dou doesn't want to stand up, no one will help him. However, the specific affairs were basically handed over to the media office in the capital. Adrian did not interfere at all. The general direction was clear to him, but the specific negotiations had to be brought in by professionals. They had all been instructed to make some preparations. He needs to show his sincerity.

For example, after Wang Zhongjun heard Adrian's remarks, he finally couldn't help but ask him directly in private. Whether Huayi or New Screen is just a private enterprise and has no right to introduce movies, the media is so fond of them. Why?

"It's very simple, I'm investing in the future," Adrian said in a very candid tone, "I've been thinking for so many days, you should also know something about my entrepreneurial history, right?"

Before Wang Zhongjun could speak, he continued: "I have an indescribable intuition about the future. Most of my investments are successful, so the media can rise like a comet. Now I am optimistic about Chinese movies and In the entertainment market, I am optimistic about you—especially Huayi—so don’t start early, do you have to wait later? It is not easy to find a suitable partner. Of course, we will not dictate specific matters, you know You can rest assured that our reputation has always been very good. Then, in a few years, you will know where the interests we are targeting, and now, you just have to wait to see our sincerity."

Among other things, if mainland TV stations want to produce various talent shows, they have to obediently pay for them. Adrian is not one of those other media groups who can't see China clearly. Although the mainland's intellectual property protection law is full of loopholes, he has been researched by someone, and he has been specially recruited from the mainland. The copyrights of many programs have already been applied for, and they are basically leak-free. If some TV stations want to fake it without saying hello. Then don't blame him for being impolite, and China is in need of international recognition at this time, even if it wants to favor domestic TV stations, it is very limited, not to mention...local stations and CCTV...hehe...

This is just like Q, precisely because Adrian registered all copyrights and trademarks including Penguin in the mainland early, and then the "twisted vine" who jumped in was accused to death. As for later, Adrian didn't bother to ask, there would be other instant messaging software without QQ, and the mainland would not let Q occupy too many markets.

Of course, Adrian didn't want to completely suppress them. He has already planned to establish a channel to standardize the way to import foreign programs and American dramas - and even teach them how to do it. It's still the same sentence as before, anyway, if you have to pay the tuition fee, it's better to pay him than others, at least he will help them.

It is definitely impossible to tell Wang Zhongjun and the others in detail, so let's express our sincerity through "Big Wrist" first, and then we can talk about it after establishing further contact.

After returning to Los Angeles, Adrian immediately entered a leisurely state. The two parts of "The Matrix" have been completed, and someone will be responsible for the later stage. The remaining two parts of "The Lord of the Rings" are also proceeding in an orderly manner, and the annual grand event is only a few days away, and there are no films to be produced for the time being, so naturally they roll around among the women all day long.

It's too much to coax people, such as Avril Lavigne, who went to participate in the Grammys with great interest, but in the end she didn't get a single award, which made the girl not angry. So every day at home, I have to practice fisting and kicking against the humanoid tumbler with Adrian's name on it several times. That thing was custom-made for her after Adrian brought it back from Canada. It is conceivable that she still felt a little bit uneasy in her heart, but when she was on the bed, she kept screaming "le".

Gwyneth also wanted to coax, the closer she was to Oscar, the more absent-minded she became. When Adrian took advantage of the afternoon sun and was holding Eleanor, Blanchett, Gwyneth, and Liv in the garden and chatting and laughing, she actually lost her mind again and again. Without thinking about it, she knew that she was worried about the approaching Oscar. With parents who were familiar with the inner circle and a well-connected godfather, she would be more or less aware of Nicole's actions.

In their small circle, Blanchett has already won the Best Actress, although Liv also had some ideas. But it was quickly dismissed, and she also knew that she was not that material. And Gwyneth has been nominated for Best Actress for several years in a row, but every time she loses for one reason or another, this time everyone praises her performance in "A Beautiful Mind" is very good, far surpassing the previous ones. several times. Of course she wanted to get it for sure.

But Nicole's public relations team and Miramax could not help but worry her. It was the same when she lost to Monica. How could Gwyneth not be worried? Sometimes she really wants to make insinuations to Adrian, does it mean that Miramax works so hard to do public relations for Nicole, and that she can win the best actress in a few years...Of course, she won't It's really that stupid, so it's normal to be absent-minded often.

Although Adrian, who saw it in his eyes, often comforted her in private, he kept half-jokingly saying that if he still couldn't get it, he would personally direct a movie for her this year. He didn't pay too much attention to Gwyneth's worries. The more she was like this, the easier it would be for her to wait for Oscar...to become his personal possession completely.

Then there was the trio of "White Oleander". After it was confirmed that Amanda would play the leading role, the production of the film began. Amanda may be somewhat inexperienced, but she learns things quickly, and director Andy Kapal also admits that she is a very good learner. As a collection that has just been put into the collection shelf, Adrian will naturally need to spend more time consolidating it.

And Julia and Kate seem to have sparks flying every time they are on the set. It is no wonder that Julia wants to have a child like Blanchett and Monica after successfully climbing to the top. Adrian will naturally not refuse . It's just that she didn't get pregnant after a series of battles, and it didn't take long for Lily's incident to be revealed, and 911 followed closely behind, Julia could only temporarily slow down her actions.

It was so easy to wait for the limelight to pass, and when the beginning of the year was about to continue, Lily's affairs were revealed again, and this time it was almost named Adrian as Lily's father, and Adrian suggested that she Use the image of the mother in "White Oleander" to carry out the initial transformation, so the plan to create a man had to be postponed again.

As a result, Julia naturally disliked Kate very much. Although Kate was quiet for a while after being warned by the media and the Oscar nomination list was released, she was always chased and photographed every time she went out with Lily. , although the guardians do not agree, the reporters can not photograph Lily, but it is an annoying thing after all. So, as soon as Julia lighted the fire a little bit, Kate would be tit-for-tat. Fortunately, they didn't have many scenes together, otherwise only God knows what the crew would have become.

But Adrian just laughed when he heard about it.

"In this way, the mother-to-mother scene in the prison will be very good." He said to the director, Julia and Kate are not children, and they are both his women, even if they confront each other, they will be very restrained , don't worry at all, and it's not that he didn't pay attention to the crew of "White Oleander", he also drew a line early, as long as he passed, he would naturally clean them up on the bed. Q! .
