King of Hollywood

Chapter 79: The Road to Disney

What if we let Catherine go again? Zeta Jones may hesitate to make a choice, but the results won't change, even though what Adrian said at the time was really annoying.

What does he take me for? A whore? Even now, Zeta Jones would still be dissatisfied, but it is undeniable that Adrian easily touched her heart strings and left her with an indelible impression.

Four North American box offices with over 100 million films, 100,000 film status and an Oscar actress, many well-known actors sank in the entertainment world for decades without such achievements! Don't talk about the guest list or anything, Adrian doesn't say it, but Zeta Jones knows it's a North American box office with her as the absolute lead, and movie stars outside the United States rarely get paid more than 10OO million.

What does it matter if no one can refuse such a condition, not to mention the ambitious Zeta Jones, even if he is a little dissatisfied with Adrian's straightness? It always comes at a price to achieve his goals, and in some ways it shows that he is gaining his momentum.

To think that Zeta Jones laughed lightly, she became famous in England in the late '87' s because of television drama. She was also quite a famous actor in Europe, and naturally knew the rules of the circle, especially the big six in Europe, mixing the 1uan degree sometimes makes people laugh. So she had a pretty sharp eye, and she always grabbed the best out of countless opportunities.

Zeta Jones remembers what happened when that American producer proposed to her and promised to take her to Hollywood -- although her name had been forgotten —— and she refused without much thought. She doesn't think he can do much good to herself, doesn't want to be tied to marriage early, and doesn't want to think he can't stand up in Hollywood.

Of course, reality soon taught Zeta Jones a lesson. In the majority of her years in Hollywood, besides playing a role in a little production, she auditioned a lot, but none got it, saying that British actors had easier access to opportunities than other European actors, but why didn't it work on her?

But Zeta Jones is a little thankful for the dilemma, in Cindy? When Crawford's party last met Adrian, she didn't know much about the miracle director, although she had heard of him, and she had only recently arrived in Hollywood, even though she wanted to get to know him, but had abandoned the idea after Cinderella had left him.

Then, after touching countless walls and knowing Adrian in detail - especially those stories about him that were circulating in the circle - Zeta Jones made a decision, and then there was a scene at the party after Spy in the Disk, and the aftermath of the car shock.

It turned out to be very worthwhile, without mentioning the conditions for you given by Adrian, just five days later, the outline of the script arrived in her hands, and after another four days, she got part of the script, so in exchange for efficiency, I'm afraid no one else can do it, right? Not to mention his reputation.

If people promised those conditions, Zeta Jones would think they were only talking, but even if Adrian had only entered the entertainment industry for a few years, he had even fewer qualifications than most people, but his accomplishments were there. He also owns his own media company, few of whom are both powerful and talented.

Beyond that, he understood the woman's thoughts well and was impressive, and although he was a bit overbearing and irresistible that night, he was considerate and gentle on subsequent dates, and even that night had given her unprecedented satisfaction in that tiny space in the car. And more importantly, Zeta Jones can be sure that he's still very much in love with himself, and in bed, a lot of things can't be covered up, even if it's not obvious, but they do exist.

The beautiful yan woman in the car has a stronger smile. She has enough confidence in her body and appearance and… means. Even if Adrian has a lot of women, who will laugh at the end of the day? Of course, she won't be a naive Adrian very good nong, but even if she fails, it doesn't matter, as long as he promises to fulfill the Jiao Ease, Zeta Jones believes that in Adrian's name, she won't do this kind of thing.

Dropping the windows, the windows caught in the air fluctuated her dark, looking at the road ahead, Zeta Jones said softly, "As long as you don't let me down, Ed, I won't let you down. ”

However, Adrian knew her much better than she knew him.

“Tell them it's a good thing they don't have to ask me anything later, and tell John I'm going to Pix tomorrow at the latest.” Adrian signed the document without raising his head.

“And this?” Charlize refers to the pieces of paper that were placed on the desk.

Adrian finally raised his head and looked at the female secretary and laughed a bit deeply, which was the unfinished script he had shown Zeta Jones earlier, and Charlize's obvious intention was to ask.

“Give it to the editors so they can complete the script as soon as possible, so I can get people to start preparing.” Adrian leaned back, his hands pillow on his head, smiling and gazing at the woman's wonderful figure.

“I get it.” Charlize also apparently realized that he was a little emotional and was ready to leave, in a faint tone of voice, collecting signed documents and semi-finished scripts.

“Speaking of which, I finally found a woman in this outfit who's no match for you.” Adrian suddenly said so.

Charlize glanced at him immediately: “I know I'm here a little early, let me know if there's a next time. ”

“Hey, I didn't say anything, just exclaimed.” Adrian looked pretty rogue with both hands.

“Don't think I'm gonna let you do this to me, Ed," Charlize adjusted his mood and watched him raise his chin slightly, "I don't think there's any more of my business here. ”

“All right, all right.” Adrian sighed and made an inviting gesture, but was very happy.

If it had been before, Charlize would have gone out long after that, but now she's standing there waiting for him to leave, and this little detail shows the change in her position in her heart.

In a formal setting, such as a wine party, office, or going out to talk to someone, Charlize is very formal O1 costume —— not counting the movie scene, especially the exterior scene, so a lot of things need to come and go, so you can feel free to do something about it —— although O1's clothing changes very little, it's just different color styles, but wearing it smells good on her, natural hangers, plus this job has been done for more than two years, the temperament has been working out, the XING feel is a little strong, so no wonder Adrian always wants to come to the office with her.

In fact, if Adrian really wanted to, Charlize wouldn't have refused, and after that day he had gone one step further and was able to get inside the skirt while holding her and talking about business. Pick a time to specialize in sensitivities in her unprotected situation and caress her for a while without fear.

But Adrian didn't want to, and he was more like seeing Charlize respond to himself for a number of reasons, most importantly because the relationship between the two was somewhat special. She shares the common characteristics of other women, such as early recognition like Kate, or being cared for at critical moments like Sarah, and staying for the benefit like Monica, but when combined, she becomes unique.

As we've often said before, Adrian's vast majority of things have not been hidden from Charlize, and she knows more about the company's acquisition ideas, its thinking about forward-looking xing strategies, its screenplays, the idea of stories, and novels that require the purchase of adaptive rights, as well as the women around him - including Kirsten.

Charlize arranged all of this well, she was smart and capable, and although she had made a few mistakes during the initial period due to lack of experience, she learned quickly.

“I really can't imagine what my life would be like without you.” Adrian used to say that in a joking tone, which sounded like it was for flirting, but it did.

As far as his woman is concerned, even if Adrian knows exactly how to arrange and handle it properly, he can't do it without Charlize's help. The relationship between the two is delicate, don't look at Charlize's usual cynicism at him, but if he leaves, he's tied up.

So he'd rather spend more effort than destroy this delicate but fascinating relationship. Besides, Zeta Jones doesn't lose to Charlize in her O1 costume in terms of the xing sensation you're wearing, and Adrian, of course, looks more like she's wearing another uniform.

Everyone is different. Charlize is special. Kate, Sally, Monica, Julia. Different makes it attractive, doesn't it? It's like Zeta Jones is in a way similar to Monica, no matter what it takes to get an opportunity, but Monica's bottom line is definitely much higher than Zeta Jones.

Zeta Jones seemed more ambitious, both for people's sakes and for words and deeds, even though Adrian had only had three meetings with her after the car earthquake - which, of course, was also because he had straightened the subject out from the start, and she did not need to disguise anything in front of him, and if she were someone else, she would definitely be something else.

Such an ambitious and undisguised woman is also good. Adrian said so in his heart. This is not to say that other women disguise themselves, but they always subconsciously shy away from some of the topics. It's inevitable that even Gwyneth has had a lot of feelings in Jiao and naturally excludes certain things.

Zeta Jones is Jiao in the interest of Qi1uo1uo, which is about the same as Drew and Cindy, but the difference is that Adrian wants to include her in the collection. The significance of collecting is to keep earning what you see, and the millionaires who like famous paintings or antiques have not seen them stop collecting, and the collections are also of a high grade, in addition to the one or more that are best worth collecting, they always need to be lined up a little more often, so as to make the play more accomplished.

All you have to do is grasp it and remember that everything is never going to be the same. As for certain things, he was convinced that Zeta Jones would not be so stupid that doing Jiao would naturally have to comply, otherwise the consequences of the breach would be serious, especially since Adrian would have to live up to his commitments very simply.

Four North American boxtrolls over 100 million films, such as Zorro's Mask, which he had previously prepared for her, Bendras was already under his broker's company, and Hopkins had a good relationship with him, and Zeta Jones was recognized for it, so why didn't he get it? Anyway, all you have to think about is buying copyright.

Although he remembered that the film did not last more than 100 million years in North America, it was just that close, and with the propaganda tools at his disposal, it was not impossible to bridge that gap. Not to mention, after the 21st century, over 100 million films in North American box offices are everywhere, and that's knowing the benefits of the future.

And the price position of 100,000 pieces is also easy. Whoever takes the lead role in more than 100 million films in four films in North America's box office can't get less than 100,000 pieces, so the hardest part is that Oscar's best female partner.

While it is true that the best actress is easier to obtain than the best actress, it is also relatively impossible for Adrian to obtain the best actress for her without Kirsten's outstanding performance in The Vampire of Night Visits.

In addition, there are many other factors that make it possible to win awards, such as luck, such as the environment, where value orientations vary subtly from time to time, and where moving Chicago to now is likely to be evaluated to the contrary by 6%.

But it doesn't matter anyway, Adrian didn't say it was immediate, and it was normal to postpone it for a few years, which is kind of his little backhand, and he now has a better idea.

All right, let's put these aside for now and get back to the top of the summer season.

“Tell me about it, gentlemen, your new plans.” Adrian still sits in Ed? Next to Carmel, to show respect for him, "Step two after the success of step one is crucial, and if step two is to succeed, then Pixar's status is truly built, and I hope you understand that. ”

After a pause, he added: "Of course, success is not about how tall the box office is, but about whether Pixar's style is established and whether it will retain a certain reputation. ”

After making a gesture, Camor answered the question: "So let's start with your opinions. ”

Not many people come to the conference room, except John? Rust, Andrew? Stanton et al., as well as a few newly promoted technicians. What they discussed was not unexpected by Adrian. The Toy Mobilization was so popular that it was a certainty to produce a sequel, so whoever was responsible needed to be discussed, because there were enough people and money to make another animation, which also required someone to be responsible.

Adrian looked like the old god was in the play after he finished his speech, since he said that he would leave Carmel in full charge, unless it was necessary that he would not cha hands, and they would always pop up some technically professional vocabulary from time to time when discussing it, Adrian was not Jobs, he basically didn't understand this, so no bsp; they had a heated argument, looked at the cross-eyed anger as if he could pinch it the next second, but don't worry, it was just a superficial phenomenon, no matter how hard the argument was right now, how much hip-hop hop hop after that group of people should be, no mind at all. They are such a group of people, each with a big child, working for their dreams, and that's why Nemo, Robot Power will only be born from them.

Adrian was able to understand their current mood, and while they thought "Toy Mobilization" was excellent, they also thought the response would be so strong. Needless to say, the surrounding income alone is enough for studio people to talk, and Claude has emotionally felt this on the phone more than once.

“If they make a few more animations, maybe we don't have to consider financing.” That's what Claude said, to make him feel that way, and to know what a lot of money it would be.

“Good, so I have a suggestion," Adrian threw out what he had planned, "and I asked Charlie to fax it to you, believing you should be interested - at least by now. ”

It's not a particular idea, he just wants to take Disney's path, build a strong position in the animation field and rely on a huge and brilliant neighborhood, so the animation studio under the flag is not destined to be the only Pix family, and can see the future look to make it possible for him to do so.

Well, back in the Pixar conference room, because of unprecedented profitability, there was an unprecedented increase in investment in animated films, and a few people naturally made a big fuss to compete for production rights. Anyway, they're not used to it, and it's a good thing Camor has extraordinary control, and he can always pull back the topics that he's pulled aside in time.

“I don't have any opinions, I believe you, since you've done a miracle, of course you can do it again, don't you?” When Adrian was asked to speak after the final quarrel, he so summed up.

The second animation has not yet been finalized, and several ideas were discussed at the meeting, including the prototype of the Bug Squad, which Adrian knew. He would have liked to have spoken to remind them that he had given up this idea after thinking about it, or let them decide for themselves, even if they had changed the subject matter in their memory, believing that they would still do well with their abilities.

“However, I have one more sentence to say," Adrian immediately added, "Not doing anything about the cha hand studio doesn't mean he won't increase his influence," and I hope that we can all keep the theme in our animation: it's good for kids and kids, tears in our laughter! ”
