King of Hollywood

Chapter 242: Done

Tim Burton, another Hollywood ghost director, born in Burbank, was close to some of Hollywood's biggest studios, so he was deeply influenced by films as a child. He was then admitted to the California Academy of Arts and received a Disney scholarship during the semester, eventually becoming Disney's animator, so his films were great in color application.

But for autistic childhood and a range of reasons, Burton's films have always been known for their darkness and black, leaving the frame in his hands no matter what the subject matter. But what's interesting is that no matter how dark and black the story is, it always ends warm and warm, which allows him to always strike a balance between mainstream and non-mainstream, thus retaining his personality while still being recognized by the mainstream.

Adrian found him this time to direct a movie for Liv? Taylor prepared "The Cut Off Valley." He searched in his head to find such a suitable movie for Liv. After all, he remembered many movies but did not have a searcher that matched them.

Riding white horses, classic outfits, innocent girls, there's nothing better for Liv than that. But there's a big problem here. This film is Tim? Burton's personal style in '99 was so intense, it would be hard to capture that effect if someone else were to take responsibility for it.

So to think about it, you have to look for Burton, the style of Edward the Scissorman showed, that makes him totally qualified to direct the film. But then, another question came up, and if Burton was to lead, wouldn't the hero be Johnny? The second person outside Depp, Adrian, who has memories of his past life, is clear, although the basic circumstances of the two are not yet apparent.

Well, he doesn't mind Depp playing the lead, which is his role anyway, just make sure Liv's the lead. But the problem is that Depp doesn't have a cold in him, and as for the reason...

If it's all right to say that Dennis was the star in Two Big Smoke Guns, then, counting Memory Shards, he was the star in two films directed by Adrian. Combined with the colorful characters in Shawshenk's Redemption and Lowlife, it's no problem for the media to call him Adrian's favorite actor.

Unfortunately, the title certainly won't last long, and while Adrian doesn't mind keeping Dennis alive, there are too many films to make in his plan, and many of the characters have already been fixed, and Dennis isn't perfect for everything. But that's all right, Adrian already has a great partner for him, and he can start grinding soon, and until then, the title of Miracle Director's imperial actor will last for a while.

Well, back to the beginning, since it's called a royal actor, it's self-evident how close you are to the director, and Depp is now also known as Burton's royal actor. Well, now that one and the snatch, oh, it's supposed to be dating your ex-girlfriend, and you've accomplished very well at a very young age, and you've been a close director in a romantic romantic romance movie lately, and you want to invite you to a role, will you give him a good look?

Of course, people can't all react the same, but although Depp is 30 years old, even bigger than Adrian, he's far worse than Adrian in his mind, so he wasn't cold or hot from the start.

“The whole tone is set according to your style, and of course I'm not entirely sure these fit your point of view. ”

“No, no, no, no. These are all very creative. I think they're pretty good. ”

“Or you can look at the scene diagrams in these chapters and ask questions if you have any. ”

“There may be a bit more weird about the Headless Horseman setup, but let me also think, your writers are doing well and I don't even know how to make a trade-off. ”

In the compartment, Adrian and Burton were talking about what you said and what I said, and Charlize and Depp were completely marginalized. Oh no, Charlize is still sorting out the data for Adrian, ready to hand it to him, Depp sits beside him completely bored, he almost made a noise on several beatings, * * was taken out and put back several times.

But he didn't show impatience, always sitting around waiting quietly because Burton was still discussing it. It was also Adrian's strategy, once Burton was taken care of, it would not be too difficult to convince Depp, after all, that he and he had no direct conflict.

“So, what do you think, Tim?” After a long discussion, Adrian stopped to ask, and looked at Depp around him with his eyes, "I could give you enough rights, Tim, and I think Johnny would be great as long as you directed the movie. ”

“Frankly, this proposal struck me.” Burton sighed, his hands together for a few minutes, and then looked at Johnny around him? Depp.

“Enough right?” Depp silenced for a few seconds, then looked at Adrian and asked,

“Yes, all rights except final clipping rights.” Adrian nodded seriously, then before Depp picked his eyebrows and wanted to keep asking. "It's a commercial movie, investment could be around 50 million, so making money is the primary purpose. Though I admire Tim, I don't think he can have the final editing rights to such a commercial film. ”

Depp frowned and seemed to dislike Adrian speaking in that tone, but did not refute anything. He also sank in this circle for almost 10 years, and although he still had a little bit of madness, he also knew how heavy it was, so he gave Burton a look and then recovered from the cold and warmth he had had before.

“Looks like there's no longer a problem.” Burton laughed, knowing Depp, and naturally he knew what that look meant, "and next time we could negotiate formally. ”

“Well, then I'll leave, look at the time, and come back for my Halloween.” Adrian stood up with a smile and took Charlize with him and exchanged a slightly indelible look with Burton.

Yes, everything today was arranged by the two of us, and Adrian contacted Burton a few weeks ago, and then took the opportunity to invite him to the Four Weddings and a Funeral Celebration.

Next, two people had a discussion over the phone, and Adrian had already opened the price early on, and there was no hiding that Liv was going to be the actress.

“I assure her that she is fit for the role, and I think my eyes are guaranteed. In fact, I initially conceived this script for her, and after discussing it with the writers, I didn't realize I was closing in on your style, so I simply combined the two.” That's what Adrian said to Burton.

Burton was much more realistic and steady than Depp, and he was interested in the script when he read Liv's information from Adrian, many of which were very interested in his appetite - needless to say, Adrian wrote down ideas that belonged to him - and also had the promised right to film, so he thought twice before agreeing.

But then Burton touched a soft nail while side-beating Depp. Of course, Burton didn't explicitly say that Adrian had a new film he wanted to direct, he just asked Depp in a joke, and the miracle director seemed to want to invite him to the role, and Depp claimed that even Adrian would give him a $15 million film.

Burton naturally didn't go on, and he was a bystander about what happened between Depp, Verona, and Dennis, and he was so clear, he comforted Depp a lot of times. Think about it, then finally, the opportunity to throw a party at your own club at Depp Halloween, and invite Adrian to come face to face to face to discuss it, so that any problems or inconsistencies can be directly said, which is the quickest solution.

As for the outcome, it goes without saying.

“You are very fond of her and have taken so much effort.” Charlize suddenly said that after leaving the club.

“I'm just as fond of you, Charlie.” Adrian replied with a smile, although Charlize didn't say his name, he knew exactly what she was talking about. Basically, 90 percent of things are going through Charlize's hands now, and she knows a lot about him, and Adrian, on the other hand, has been honest with her.

Charlize snorted softly and shut his mouth again, only to hear Adrian smile and his face became a little red. How could Adrian not even hear the taste of her own words?

“Well, let's go.” Adrian got in the car and started the engine.

To be honest, he would love to push the Cut Off Valley movie for a few more years if he could. You know, he's only going to choose this movie because, in addition to the fact that the actress fits Liv's image, he can pull Burton together and ease his relationship with Depp - I have to say, Adrian is somewhat underestimating Depp here, isn't she a woman? If you don't want to, grab it back. If you break up and you want to piss people off, it's not painful at all. What kind of man is this?

Though he thinks so, Adrian doesn't show half of it. After all, they don't have a direct conflict, and Depp still has the value of pulling it together, so long as it's in Adrian's hands, he's too lazy to compare it to him.

That's the difference between the two, Depp is generally just a prodigal son, so he can be careless at times; and Adrian is more often a businessman and maximizing his interests is his first choice, so he doesn't reveal his heart easily.

Burton's value cannot be underestimated, and Adrian appreciates a director who has a strong own style and who can make mainstream society accept his work so that he knows how to tell a story. It's just that the film was supposed to be a reversal of Burton's failures and a complete layout of his position in Hollywood, and if he dragged it back and took it out after his failures, it would have been even more effective.

The problem, however, is…
