King of Hollywood

Chapter 23: New Movies (1)

Adrian was very depressed, and the girl was really pretty, although she was young, but she was already very well developed, and she would definitely be a beauty in a few more years, and he should sign her in the name of the company and bring her around to cultivate and tune her well, and then... but he didn't realize it at all because he was immersed in the pleasure of exuding.

That's right, the big thing he said to the girl was really exasperating, and he was just beginning to preach that a very angry and unhappy emotion had sprung up, and there was a scene flashing in his head, and there was Adrian's life before him, and there was Zhang Haoshan's life experience in the previous life - in some ways, they were just as pathetic.

This emotion has actually been hidden in Adrian's mind, but for various reasons it has always been suppressed in the corner, but with his good words succeeded step by step, it was slowly released. If that's all, there will always be a time for release, although there is a lot of frustration.

However, while the plans he had developed served his first goal, whenever he revisited them, he found them unaware that his second goal had begun to be on par with his first goal. Adrian was convinced that he would achieve his goals, but before that, he had to smile at his old uncle, and the difference, coupled with the girls' words, suddenly erupted.

This is good, it's better to vent than slow release, God knows if there will be any other problems after a long time. He didn't know the girl, so he could yell a lot, which greatly soothed his mood. However, I don't know what will happen to the girl, after all, I will be so proud to dry the cloud because of the cheater, if so... Forget it, or forget it, who knows? Maybe she'll have a better life in the future, not necessarily.

Sometimes you don't have to do everything you can to change something, even if you know what's going to happen; sometimes you can change a person's life in just a few words.

After a short sigh on the bench, Adrian finally cleaned up his mood. Anyway, his goal was Hollywood, and he missed it, and... he couldn't help but think of Kate's hot * *.

It's better to swallow it in your mouth first, Adrian said to himself.

After two days in New York City, Adrian returned to her villa in Los Angeles and the room was kept clean and tidy under Mrs. Galen's care. He talked to LaVerne, Dennis and Claude, and locked himself in the study.

Naturally, he continues his plagiarism career, besides the novel Biochemical Crisis, Tomb Beauty and Hacker Empire, and is busy writing new film screenplays. According to his plan, the new film would start at the end of October or early November, and it would take about three months to shoot and then be sent to the Berlin Film Festival.

Anyway, earning money from Two Big Smoke Guns is a sure thing, and everyone will do that while winning the chase. Of course, this progress was a little too fast, but Adrian had no other choice, and he was forced to hurry, and sometimes he couldn't help complaining about how good it would be to be born again in the morning.

Time passed quickly, and the blink of an eye reached mid-October, and Adrian was right to predict that the two most important viewing areas of Two Big Smoke Guns, the North American Box Office has reached 39 million so far, while the UK Box Office exceeds £20 million!

One of the reasons why LaVerne worked so well is because Adrian moved the movie in its original form. Although Adrian won the Venetian Film Festival Award for Best Virgin - which is not good but not bad for a new director - most Americans are not interested in the Venetian Film Festival. As for the new American director making a genuine British black humor movie, the stunt can attract a lot of Cut fans, but if you want most Americans to pay for a movie theater, you still have some power.

However, LaVerne did so, basically using all available means, and in addition to focusing on the two points mentioned above, he deliberately promoted the complex multiline narrative techniques used in the film. This technique is very useful, and it costs very little, but it works exceptionally well. In the end, although there are only over 100 cinemas in the first week of the show, there are 7 million weekend box offices! You know, the whole movie is just over a million dollars, and Adrian still earns it, even if it's the only seven million in the final box office.

But this is just the beginning, with 500 screens in the second week, and the weekend's total box office tripled to 16 million! By mid-October, the number of screening houses had reached 1,500, and the total box office had hit 30 million. Many directors or producers were surprised by this.

“It's simple, good movies never lack audiences.” Famous film critic Ronnie? Gross concluded.

Adrian was surprised to learn that, at least in his memory, there were only two Big Smoke Guns in the British box office, about £20 million. But it's only a month away, and Britain's box office is over £20 million, and North America's conservative estimate could end up exceeding $40 million!

“I have to admit, dear Ralph, I found a treasure.” In the cinema conference room, Adrian, sitting in a high-backed chair with his hands crossed, smiled at his general manager.

“Thanks, Ed.” LaVerne gave a slight head, “so did I. ”

“Really?” Adrian picked the eyebrows.

“At least in the course of what I've been through, there's only one person in North America who can make a movie in two months at a cost of only $200,000 and win the Venetian Award for Best Virgin, while still getting a $30 million box office.” LaVerne said calmly.

“Ha, Ralph, I didn't know you'd kiss your ass.” Adrian laughed.

“I'm telling the truth.” LaVerne remains calm.

“Okay, forget it. What do you think of my new script?” Adrian changed the subject.

“The story can only be good," LaVerne said, not at all politely, but the conversation turned quickly, "but the shooting was interesting, and I couldn't make a specific decision if both sides were combined. ”

“Yes, the focus this time is on the editing, and the good and the bad are important, but the way the story is told is equally important.” Adrian stamped his hand and said.

The knock went off and the staff came in after being allowed: "Mr. Adrian, Mr. Dennis is here. ”

“Good, let him in.” Adrian said quickly.

“Sorry I'm late.” Dennis soon appeared at the door.

“It's okay, you just moved to Xilin District..." Adrian couldn't help but laugh.

“Damn it, Dan, what's the matter with you?” He stood up and looked at him funny.

“Is something wrong?” Dennis yanked his hands, but he reached out and pulled his tie. Though wearing a suit made him look handsome, he didn't know why he always gave others a strange feeling and even LaVerne shook his head and covered his mouth.

“I think that since there's something important going on today, it's natural to dress more formally.” Dennis mocked himself and did not hide the helplessness of his tone.

“Looks like you should get a girlfriend.” After he reaches for the collar again, Adrian smiles and says, "Okay, untie the tie. Besides, it's best to open the collar and don't buckle the clothes. ”

“Thank you." Dennis immediately glanced at Adrian by simply untying his tie and then opening the shirt collar and unbuttoning the suit, as he had been instructed.

“I have time to introduce you to a few tailors who I believe are definitely much better suited than you are now.” Adrian continued.

The bitter smile flashed off Dennis's face and nodded: "Thank you, Ed. ”

How could Adrian have not noticed his expression and said hello to Dennis after laughing in his heart?

“There are two things, the first is this.” He slipped something out of his jacket pocket and handed it over.

“This is...” When Dennis picked it up, his body trembled slightly.

“Is this for me?” Though the tone of voice tried to remain calm, the sound of tremors could not be hidden from the other two present.

“Relax, it's only half a million.” Adrian understands how he feels and apparently never received such a large sum of money from Dennis' experience, even when he shot Two Big Smoke Guns earlier, he was paid only $10,000.

“But...” Dennis looked perplexed at what he was trying to say.

“This is the red envelope I gave you. Everyone has it and deserves a reward for it, right?” Adrian stalled, “I was going to give you a million, but given that I couldn't be too far apart, I cut it by half. All right, relax. I bet you'll never take that much again. Think about what the film critics say. Excellent! Dude, you're famous! ”

In Adrian's edition of Two Big Smoke Guns, Dennis played Ed, especially when the gambling was calculated to come out of Harry the Axe, which was truly remarkable.

“Understood." Dennis took a deep breath, “so what about the second one, the new movie? ”

“Yes, I'm sure you saw some of the scripts yesterday, and I need you to lose about 100 pounds in a week, and I'll have Ralph arrange someone to guide you through what exactly you're going to do.” Adrian point said that.

“No problem." Dennis promised.

They talked about it long ago in Venice, and then Dennis didn't hesitate to say yes, not to mention now. After several years of grinding, he knew when to do it, and now that he was so lucky he wouldn't let go so easily, when the movie was well received, many people came to the door to be his broker, asked Adrian, and after the other side let him slow down for a while, he immediately resigned these people. Today's facts prove that he did exactly the right thing!
