King of Hollywood

“Don't even think about it, James. You know the budget you gave me was $100 million. You should know that. Look at them, Joe. I haven't even made a movie with a budget of over $100 million.” Adrian stands against the wall with a cup, yes, another bearded James? Cameron whispered.

“Hey, it's just 10 million, and I'm just trying to make it better.” Cameron stood up to wake up.

“Don't even think about it, James, unless you pay for it yourself. - What do you think, Trent?” Adrian said, looking at Sean, the general manager of Fox next door? Waters.

“I totally agree.” Waters Haha laughed, as the general manager of Fox again, overseeing the production of "True Lies," which he knew too well about Cameron's style.

“Well, James, Ed's right, not many directors get a $100 million budget to squander like you.” See Cameron and want to talk, Jonathan? Damy opened his mouth immediately, but the tone was also toned.

“Well, James, I was paranoid again," Adrian followed me, not giving Cameron a chance to talk, "so don't worry. ”

Cameron finally shrugged his shoulders with a smile and suddenly asked, “Remember what we said the other day, Ed? Sean was there that day when he got out of the bar, but he left early. ”

“Of course I remember, I would never forget what I said," Adrian laughed, "If this film could achieve its intended goal, I would invest 200 million dollars to make your next film."

“Really?” Cameron's eyes suddenly lit up and his tone was excited, "So how many boxrooms did you expect? ”

“Well, let's wait for the movie to show.” Adrian's hands flashed, and the people around him laughed, and in their view, Adrian was just kidding. The disappointing look flashed over Cameron's face, but after touching Adriana's profound eyes, he seemed to understand something and laughed with everyone else.

“By the way, I'm suddenly a little envious of Arnold and not everyone can play the lead role in such a big investment.” Denzel? Washington said in a half-joke tone.

“Who knows, no one can predict what will happen in the future.” Tom? Hanks patted him on the shoulder with a smile.

“I can predict.” Adrian immediately interfaces, and then a serious statement comes out of everyone's eyes: "However, I can only anticipate recent events, such as the prospects for the Philadelphia Story. ”

Todd, executive of the other side of the globe? Browning immediately asked, "So what's the outlook for The Philadelphia Story? ”

“I'm sure anyone who has seen the screening will feel good, and Joe may be nominated for Oscar's best director again.” Adrian thought about it and said it with extreme seriousness.

“Is this prophecy? Should it be seen as a miracle director's prophecy? ”

“Ha, looks like Joe should be congratulated in advance, and may be nominated again after a year's interval. ”

“Oh, come on, it's just Ed's prediction, don't you guys think it's true? ”

Everyone started talking about it, and the topic got farther and farther away. These are the guests at the party, the executives of several well-connected movie companies, and several famous directors and actors, even Spielberg and Luke, who left after only three or forty minutes, not to mention second- and third-line directors, actors, producers, brokers, and so on.

Besides, Frank, head of the L.A. division? West attended, after all, Old Friends was broadcasting on their television network, and several other networks were trying to find ways - for example, some guests would always bring a few friends - to the party, including Adrian's target Turner Broadcasting Corporation.

The well-informed guys know that the Bosworth Film Industry will certainly continue to develop with the production of such a popular TV show, plus Adrian, the miracle director or miracle writer - a new name given to him by his circle after the popularity of The Old Friends, but given that he is still mostly film-making, the writers mostly just provide ideas and let the writers finish it, so the name only exists in private.

Anyway, there's a guy like that who's going to be able to make TV dramas, and these networks naturally want a piece of it, and after all, there's a lot of competition.

Thus, while Adrian is a new Hollywood prize in terms of time, his status and identity are already too much higher than that of a new director or producer. After all, he is also the chairman of AC Media, although AC Media is no better than those of large groups of companies, but the chairman of a media company has hardly ever done such a thing, which is certainly not comparable to that of ordinary new directors or producers.

“Remember what you promised me, Tom, there's a movie next year and I want you to be the lead.” Adrian took the time to say this to Hanks in front of everyone.

“No problem, I'll leave the period open for you.” The other side promised to come down without hesitation.

“Looks like the workaholic is about to start again.” Then someone said something like that, and then pulled out a bunch of topics.

It was also a sign of power and status, and he would never have answered so well if someone had invited Hanks like that. Of course, this has nothing to do with Hanks not reaching his peak, but so has Adrian, otherwise he won't use "I need” instead of "I want”.

However, such status, identity and power are also relative. Although he is considered a big man in front of these people, he is still an irrevocable newcomer in front of some people. At the godfather's liquor party the other day, the old man Leishdong relied on the old man to say that he and Claude were “two good young men”.

Though slightly uncomfortable, Adrian quickly left it behind, and Thunderstone certainly deserves to say so. In fact, most of these celebrities who attend the Godfather's Wine Club can say the same about them, and they are young indeed. But that doesn't mean that young people are young, and Claude's got thunderstones with him.

“I was just kidding about his offer. I just wanted to take Paramount's shares from me.” After a few separate conversations with Ray Stone, Claude said to Adrian, "While we all agreed to go backwards to Viacom, never now, let's wait for them to come up with more results. ”

Adrian couldn't help but laugh about it.

“Hey, Ed, it turns out you're here.” One hand was suddenly patted on Adrian's shoulder.

“Dan?” Adrian turned around and deliberately revealed a relief, “Who do I think? ”

“What's the matter?” Dennis asked strangely.

“No, nothing. Did you have a good time?” Adrian shook his head, pulled away the conversation, talked to Cameron for a long time, and dealt with the executives of the various television networks who had come to talk to him for a while. He was trying to stay in this quiet corner for a few minutes, then found Julia and left together, but didn't expect Dennis to come back.

“Oh, sure, very happy, so are they.” Dennis said to get out of the way, Jennifer? Anniston, Courtney? Cox and Matthew? Perry and six other stars, as well as several writers and directors, appeared before him.

“Hi, Ed. Long time no see. You look handsome.” Jennifer wanted to get to know Adrian better than the other five actors, so the smile took the lead in greeting her.

“Hi, Jenny, you too, even prettier than before.” Adrian smiled and hugged her, and then another five embraced in turn: "Congratulations, gentlemen and ladies. ”

“Thank you, Ed. ”

“Yes, if it weren't for you, we wouldn't have had the chance to do such an interesting TV show. ”

Matthew and the others spoke with gratitude and respect, David? The monument is particularly obvious. After all, it was Adrian who wanted to refuse when he asked them to perform. If Adrian hadn't given up, he wouldn't be here today, and he might still desperately regret it at home.

Adrian smiled and talked to them, openly accepting their gratitude, to be honest, for a few minutes he really wanted to know if they would feel resentment if they found their role completely confined to The Old Friends, no matter how futile the transformation was.

“By the way, Ed, have you considered a role in Old Friends?” After a few minutes of conversation, a writer suddenly said to Adrian, suddenly, everyone's eyes turned to him.

“Do you have a good opinion, Braga?” Adrian asked silently.

The biggest thing about Old Friends is that in addition to the interesting language and the humor that comes close to life, there are also invitations to be red stars. The original class starred. Of course, this point of view will not be ignored. I just didn't expect them to hit him with the idea.

“There's an idea.” The male writer known as Braga said with a smile that he was about twenty-seven or eight years old, very young, and no wonder he was so bold.

“Matt plays Joey as a soap opera actor, designing a scene for his film audition.” Braga said, "You can be a director or you can just be yourself. Think about it. Joey's going to be a miracle director. ”

Now that Old Friends has shot 11 episodes, and at least 13 more episodes to shoot, it's a good plan that they're going to have him open the head of the guest series.

“Well, Ed, all you have to do is act.” Seeing him still pondering, Braga continues to persuade, "You know, Dan's right behind you, and as soon as Janie talks, he says yes."

“Dan has promised?” Adrian looked at Dennis, who nodded at him.

Interesting. Adrian closed his eyes. By the way, Dan and Jenny have been very close to each other at the party tonight, and Norrie hasn't seen him around on several occasions... it's really interesting.
