King of Hollywood

This portion of the "Vietnam Battlefield” lens is relatively easy, at least Lieutenant Dan's legs don't need special handling, so he doesn't have to worry about wearing a gang during shooting. Adrian was somewhat worried, however, that the military adviser he had hired did not look like a professional.

Drumming a pair of goldfish eyes, as if they never blinked en slightly bald, with a xiao belly, always looked like no jing. If it weren't for the assistant, would this be Walter? The guy from Burnson did participate in the Vietnam battlefield as a lieutenant, and if he was an advisor for Born on July 4th, he must think he's a liar.

There is still something in Burnson's stomach, at least a few other relevant assistants admit that he is of good standing in this area and that there is basically nothing wrong with the tactical arrangement. So even though this guy is deprived of his right to drink on the set, and often nags about things like, "When I fought hard for this country on the Vietnam battlefield, most of the people here were heads of the xiao guys," Adrian doesn't mind.

The shooting went well, and there were a lot of interesting places, and Hanks used the phrase "firle” over Adrian. This is a term commonly used by the United States military to circumvent the explosions they have carried out, and Lieutenant Dan is letting people throw grenades into the DE, which is perfectly literal.

The hardest part should be the scene where Agan runs to save lives, the first few are fine, but it's not that easy to hold Babu. In this scene, Agan is going to run out with Babu before the incendiary bomb falls, so it's not going to be possible to use the Montague method of "lifting” and then switching to "dropping” like before, and Hanks has to run at least a hundred feet away with Williamson weighing almost 200 pounds, which is not an easy thing to do.

On second thought, Adrian let the stuntman try to run once, then hung a wire on Williamson to support his weight, and then let Hanks run again before filming the explosion again. As for the jets and incendiary bombs that follow, they need to be added in CG at a later stage, just like the big helicopters that Agan had just arrived at the camp.

“This is the document you need to sign today.” Charlize sent some information to Adrian during the break, which seemed a little colder than before, but Adrian, who had no idea what she was doing.

“Already negotiated? Why didn't I know?” Looking at the documents in his hand, he asked with some surprise.

“Claude called the day before yesterday when you were busy with the rain scene and asked me not to bother you, of course I wouldn't go against your will.” Charlize said faintly.

“Oh, yeah, those lenses never worked so well, so I was a little impatient.” Adrian remembered and suddenly enlightened himself and patted Charlize on the shoulder: “Sorry, Charlie. ”

“Excuse me?” Charlize glanced at him.

“I wasn't very good at the time.” Adrian smiled and signed his name.

“Get used to it.” Charlize shrugged, retrieved the papers and turned around, "Claude will be here in 30 minutes. ”

“Claude? What's he doing here?” Adrian asked strangely, and Claude himself gave the answer: "Of course he did come... what do you mean? Visiting class, right? I've never seen you work before. Besides, this is my father's golf course. I should have come over, right? ”

And the first thing he said when he came here was, "God, if Dad knew you'd ruined his golf course like this, he'd kill you. ”

“Unfortunately, Claude, he'll kill you before then.” This is Adrian's answer.

“How does it feel to be different from the director's job in your head?” Adrian took Claude around the whole crew, answering questions in detail, and asked.

“Yes,” Claude nodded, "I always thought the director was either sitting in a chair yelling to start and end, or putting something long with the prop artist to make a special effect, or shooting against the camera. ”

He stopped here to think, and measured Adrian: "It seems that there is no difference between what I said and what I just saw. ”

“Come on, Claude, don't sell it to me for long,” Adrian punched him with a smile, "every director has a place he's good at, James? Cameron is a technology director. But as a director, the main job is not to do special effects, not to go anti-camera, but to schedule. ”

“Dispatch? ”

“Yes, a director can make a magnificent movie even if he has no idea how the lights work, how the makeup works, or how the effects work. All he had to do was tell the heads of the men in each ministry what they wanted and monitor that the results made by the men in each ministry met their requirements. The key is for the director to have a complete picture in his mind that captures the whole movie.” Adrian explains so.

“Sounds like Claudemoor is holding his chin," as if it's no different from my job. ”

“Most things in the world are essentially the same,” Adrian patted him on the shoulder with a smile, "well, let's just say now that I thought it was going to cost 200 million, I didn't think it was going to cost 120 million. ”

“You know, Disney's initial offer to Miramax was only tens of millions, and we only went up to 80 million when we joined. But, Michael? Eisner obviously didn't think they were worth more than that, so we let them go after 120 grand.” Claude explained simply, "Of course, 120 million of these were not white flowers, and Miramax, while retaining the right to operate independently, was fully acquired by us, giving them an 18% bonus.”

“So you've met the Weinstein brothers? How do you feel?” Adrian asked.

“I've only seen him a few times, and I'm not sure, but from what I've gathered from other sources, these two guys are exactly what you said. But at the same time, they're very xing, they're as aggressive as we are, they can't tell they're in their fifties, and they have a deep feeling about the Miramax logo.” Claude recalled.

“Of course, it's a company named after their parents," Adrian shrugged his shoulders, "and sooner or later they'll find it much happier to be bought by us than by Disney, who's all ages away. ”

“By the way, Ed, would you like to meet them?” Claude suddenly said so.

“See you up there?” Adrian picked the eyebrows.

“Of course, you're the chairman.” Claude laughed, wondering what he was up to.

“Okay, no problem.” Adrian promised to come down and added: "If there is time. ”

There must be some time, and the golf course where Agan Zheng is sitting is not far from Claude's private club, so Adrian met the Weinstein brothers here the next day.

Two brothers, Bob? Weinstein looked familiar, and Harvey? Weinstein was very talkative.

“If I had known you would have achieved what you are now, Ed, I would have personally gone and taken the right to issue.” Harvey said that with a smile when he talked about a few years ago.

When Adrian was at the Venice Film Festival with Two Big Smoke Guns, the first person to find the men was Miramax - it was nice to see them. At this point in time, there was a sense of destiny, suddenly pulling together a few relationships, except for Adrian. Miramax's work with the Weinstein brothers would certainly have been the focus of the early 1990s if he hadn't been born.

All right, forget it. They're already in his bag.

“As I told Claude earlier, we are better suited to you than Disney. Think about it, Disney's signature has always been for all ages, while Miramax has always been unbridled, and Eisner has always preferred arbitrariness, which may not be a problem for a short time, but it definitely creates irreparable contradictions after a long time.” Adrian said so.

This is not alarming, but something that happened in his memory. Of course, the problem is not entirely in Disney, and whether the parent company wants its subsidiaries to grow in the direction they plan is a matter of scripture or control.

But now that Miramax has been acquired by AC Media, it should be unlikely that this will happen again, as he said, as it fits better with each other than Dinis; and in the second place, if he knows, he will definitely avoid it. More importantly, AC Media and Disney are different under Adrian's plan.

After that, the Weinstein brothers apparently realized it, and both showed a thoughtful appearance, which later became more enthusiastic.

“Well done, Ed. I knew it was the right thing to do.” After the Weinstein brothers left, Claude praised.

“I only said the truth," Adrian smiled and fingered, "and the Weinstein brothers would not become loyal to us because of that statement, nor would we give up having Miramax operate as we planned. ”

“Exactly.” Claude raises the coffee cup and shifts the subject: “If you want the dream factory to act as a shield in front, why invest another 100 million? $100 million is missing if you want to split the profit? I heard Spielberg and they're trying to raise money - or are you just trying to support him? ”

“Of course not. I'm doing this for two years.” Adrian smiled.

“Two years later?” Claudeton reveals an amazing god se, “you plan so far, Ed. ”

“Supporting Spielberg is fine, but more for Carsenberg.” Adrian added.

“Jeffrey? Carsenberg?” Claude doesn't understand. "Didn't he just flip with Disney? ”

Adrian laughed and didn't answer, and the dream factory was built a lot earlier than he remembered, which of course had something to do with his persuasion, but it caused a series of changes. Like Spielberg or David? Griffin and Jeffrey? Carsenberg, hoping they could join and support him, Gwen promised, but Carsenberg refused, and now he's doing well at Disney High, and there's no need to follow Spielberg from scratch.

As for the dream factory itself, it doesn't matter much without Carsenberg, and Spielberg might be able to find a more SE CEO. But for Adrian, it's a frustrating thing, because he pushed Spielberg to build a dream factory ahead of time, and there's another goal besides finding a shield for his company, and it's hard to say if that goal can be achieved without Carsenberg.

But the butterfly effect was his own, and he can't remember why Carsenberg had agreed to Spielberg's invitation. In this way, nothing can be done in the face of this situation but Adrian has to comfort himself, not everything will follow his own mind.

But a few weeks later, the spike turns, Michael? Eisner's deputy, Frank? Wilson died accidentally from a helicopter accident, and Carsenberg was delighted to think that he had been able to take over for so long, but he had been excluded because Eisner had appointed another person, and the angry Carsenberg immediately tore his face off with Dinis.

“That's what Mike left Paramount for, and I didn't expect him to use it on someone else today.” After seeing such news, LaVerne, who worked with Eisner, said so.

In fact, it's perfectly normal that things change after everyone takes power, and Adrian asks LaVerne if he would do the same in that position if he had to, and LaVerne thinks half a dozen times and gives a yes - he's honest. Power is the best * y saying is not groundless, for example Adrian's behavior is the best explanation for the literal meaning of this sentence.

In short, Adrian was relieved that the Dream Engineering Troika finally came together as Carsenberg demanded his due interest from Disney and threw in Spielberg, who seized the opportunity to hand over the olive branch.

Naturally, these won't tell Claudette that Adrian gets up and says goodbye when he finishes his coffee.

“I still have work to do,” he said, "something to call me or Charlie. ”

“Got it.” Claude left the club without asking.

“Tell Richard I'm on my way back to get him ready.” Adrian so instructed the nv secretary nv assistant around him after the car was on the road.

Charlize quickly fulfilled his request: “They have begun to adjust. ”

Although Adrian came this way for an appointment, the shooting did not stop there and, as it did in Alabama, the assistant director took some simple shots with the master mirror.

“Thank you.” Adrian nodded, thinking of something sideways, looking at Charlize single-handedly: “Hey, Charlie, it's almost the weekend, maybe we could go out? ”

“Going out for a walk?” Charlize took a look.

“Yes, I suddenly realized we haven't had a holiday together.” Adrian said with a gesture.

“We've had enough holidays together, and let me remind you, Ed,” Charlize looked at Grover driving in front of us, "and we agreed that only I could sleep with you, not with you. ”

Though Adrian's relationship with Charlize was clear, Grover couldn't help but cough slightly, and from the front rearview mirror, his face se was a bit odd and seemed to be enduring something. Adrian was also embarrassed by Charlize's carelessness and touched his nose without knowing what to say.

“And that's it,” Charlize said again at the moment, "before you take care of your troubles. ”

Then she turned around and looked out the window and ignored Adrian. Adrian shrugged his shoulders and temporarily dropped them, and Charlize was right, so it was only right to deal with the current problems first.

In fact, this is no trouble, because after Joe Blanchett went out to sea and got it, for the next week or so, they were all entwined together and naturally had to leave the others alone. It's a normal thing, who keeps him in a relationship with four or five nv people at the moment, and once the life is broken because of an accident, there will definitely be a problem of being separated.

But Adrian didn't have any bad feelings, he enjoyed it. Isn't it what he wanted when he wandered among the nv? And, under his tutelage, Monica basically belonged to him, even if she knew it, she wouldn't care; Kate was currently in conflict, and she wouldn't notice it; Sarah was shooting "Buffy the Vampire" in the studio, before he was also shooting "Agan Zhengyu" in the studio for the past xi points, and Yin * Sarah tried the storage room JI affair and gave her mouth. So the only problem is Julia.

“I've called you ten times, Ed, ten times, but every time you answer the phone, it's your NV assistant. Can't you answer the phone once? Well, you got a job, you can't answer the phone, but why didn't you call me back? Even if you answered a phone call, did you really put me on your mind, Ed" Julia yelled outrageously on the phone.

Nevertheless, Adrian heard the slightest discomfort hidden in anger.

“I just wanted to say I'm sorry, honey, I'm sorry.” He said in a sincere tone, holding on to the laughter in his heart.

“Don't you think it's a little late to say sorry, Ed?"

“Yes, it's a little late, but it's not too late. Well, tomorrow's the weekend, and we're going to Orange County to have a little relaxation, and you'll feel better. ”

“Rest. I won't say yes. ”

“Then it's settled. I'll pick you up tomorrow. ”

“Hey, Ed, I haven't agreed yet."

“See you tomorrow, I love you. ”
