King of Hollywood

Chapter 158 is ready.

No suspense, Kayla promised, but in two years, her personality hasn't changed much, and she's still so self-righteous and arrogant. Plus, how could she give up and admit to losing if there was another agreement?

That's exactly what Adrian wanted to see, so even if it was a little bit unfortunate, he didn't care too much. The corner è he agreed to give after passing the test was the double of the Pre-Star Wars episode. I didn't think that because of a moment of negligence, I forgot that Lucas started shooting in '96, and it turned out to be a test.

But it's okay, there's always a corner è, besides, she's got a smart mother. Savannah is indeed very eye-catching, as can be seen from her choice of "The History of Shawn" rather than "Elizabeth", which is a story based on history and is likely to be pushed back once there are differences in important places, while "The History of Shawn" has a fundamentally completed basic script that she simply needs to fix according to Adrian's intentions.

That's right. The script for "The History of Shawn" was first written by Mark in the mid-1980s? Norman is almost done, and he almost pitched in '91, and he's going to invite Julia to be the star of the NV, but Edward the director? Zwick wasn't happy with the original script and was going to invite Tom? Stopard made the modifications so he could talk to Mark? Norman's conflict, coupled with investors' problems, led to his death.

Then the script fell into Miramax's hands, but it was frozen because it wasn't promising, and then AC Media acquired Miramax, like Bosworth, and Adrian checked the script in their hands regularly, as did the newline, and the script ended up in his hands.

So Adrian laughed at the gift, and Gwyneth and Blanchette took it out with them. As a boss, it's a simple matter of wanting the copyright to a frozen script, and the Weinstein brothers are quick to get it done, and they're too skilled at taking full copyright and kicking the original owner aside.

It only took a few days to get rid of the uā, and Adrian was ready to go back to Los Angeles. Emma was naturally unhappy about it and made Adrian laugh for a long time. She promised to come to America as soon as she took the summer off, and then went back after the holidays.

“That's what you promised. Don't do anything wrong.” As she walked away, Emma poked Adrian hard with her little fingers and her mouth was so tall.

“Rest assured, I swear to God.” Adrian had to coax over and over again and then mourn in his heart, with this troublemaker present, I'm afraid this summer will not be too easy.

Though the Hacker Empire is nearing its end, it was delayed by a few days after Adrian returned - a slower film than he had been. Yuan Ping did not live up to his expectations. He was very nervous about guiding this part of the subway fight, but the problem was that after all, he had directed too many Hong Kong films and was involved in Hollywood filmmaking for the first time, and some places were too Hong Kong.

“Not that I don't like it, Yuan, you know, it's an American movie.” Adrian couldn't help but laugh at him.

Fortunately, this is not a particularly serious problem, and after watching the tape, Adrian and his assistants discussed it, took almost a dozen additional shots, and then paid some attention to the editing and later effects. The scene that happened to be built has not been dismantled for the time being, so it has not been too long. As long as the last gunfight between Neo and Trinity to rescue Murphys is completed in the building, the Hacker Empire can close the mirror.

As one of the coolest parts of the movie, the scene combines kung fu with gunfights, and while there are a lot of people laughing at "the columns of the building are probably sponge-made” and “Neo and Trinity's hitting rates are too shameful”, it doesn't reduce the impact of these shots.

It's just that it looks fun in the movies, and it's not that easy to shoot. The action of Neo jumping up and killing the last SWAT officer and landing in a cool position was repeated about fifteen or six times, either when Reeves landed it was substandard or his trench coat flipped over, or he almost dropped his sunglasses.

“It's just that shooting time isn't that hard.” Reeves couldn't help complaining after another ng.

“Really? Well, maybe we can reconsider the idea of adding a bullet time here.” Adrian said immediately.

“No, I think it's good that this little problem doesn't bother me at all.” Reeves immediately screamed, holding his back with his hands, and burst into laughter.

With Adrian's prophetic sense of bullet time, combined with Yuan Ping's dedication, this move is more perfect and Jing Beautiful than the original version, even though it was the first * *. But that made Reeves suffer, and he often bent his knee to almost 90 degrees, blowing for tens of minutes in front of the blower, and although there was steel wire hanging, the hardest part was his waist, so during that time he often stood up with his teeth grinning after Adrian screamed. I knew he was making a movie, and I didn't know he was doing too much sports.

“Are you all right, Monica?” After Reeves, Adrian arrived in front of the nv hero.

“Not bad, just a little scratch.” Drinking whose Monica laughed, "I didn't say anything easier than shooting bullets. ”

“Don't worry, even if you say it, I won't be dissatisfied, you are, he is him.” Adrian yang his hands, then asked again, "It's really okay. ”

Monica had a foot rolling over the wall during the previous shooting, and after two or three shootings, she accidentally slipped, and her ankle was gently twisted even when the wire was suspended.

“Really,” Monica looked at him funny, just a sip, “it couldn't be better. ”

The pair swayed gently at a soft pause. It was a real bump. In Monica's shape, it would be perfect to wear this tight suit.

“All right, well, don't say that," Adrian shifted the subject, "Claude asked me out tonight. Will you come with me? ”

“Of course,” Monica looked at him strangely, "you know, I wouldn't refuse your request. ”

“Yes, I know, but...” Adrian shrugged, "you might not like this party. ”

“Really? What? ”

“Boxing. ”

In the noisy venue, the middle screen hanging from different angles is showing the scene of the ring stage, while in the following venue, a big man is continuously launching an attack, straight fisting, hooking, and falling on the other one continuously. Every time he punches a heavy blow, the supporters around him will cheer out loud and exhale their enthusiasm with a roaring voice.

The one who was beaten seemed to have no power to fight back, but the familiar person could see that his arms around his head made fine adjustments from time to time, with more fists falling on him than he could have imagined. And as soon as he sees the chance, he hugs the opponent and waits for the referee to come and separate, using this technique to drain the opponent's health.

Finally, the passive one was about to get bi in the corner, a turn suddenly jumped out, the opponent predicted the action and immediately punched him, but then another turned around and punched him in the face with a heavy hook, suddenly knocked him to the ground, louder cheers, the hot blood boiling people praised the hook.

Unfortunately, the game was not over, and when the referee read eight seconds later, the fallen fighter finally stood up. Although he appeared to have been beaten a little dizzy, he also knew that defense was the key now, so he was braced to the end of the bureau by a stormy attack.

“Too bad, Philip, if you push harder, he'll win.” Claude and the others in the front row sighed as the voices turned down.

“You've praised him many times a night, Claude. Honestly, how much did you bet on him?” Adrian asked with a smile.

“Not much, it's only $50,000, Daniela pressed it for me.” Claude smiled and photographed the nv friends around him, or more appropriately accompanied.

With Cindy? Claudette and Claudia? Schiffer's two supermodels are joining us, Victoria's secret development is climbing, and a dedicated team of models is basically being built, and Claude's name is Daniela? Pastova's Czech model has become one of the signed models, and he is not happy to play on it.

“Well, I hope he wins, too,” Adrian said with a smile and looked at Monica around, "knowing I should have listened to your bets too. ”

“Now regret is over, Ed.” Monica replied with a smile, but her face è was not very good.

Adrian shrugged, he wasn't ungambling, in fact, he was gambling a lot, but he was used to gambling after gathering enough intelligence, rather than putting his hopes on luck, which is why he rarely went to Las Vegas.

“What's the matter?” He sensed her anomaly.

“A little noisy.” Monica answered in a low voice, "but it's okay, just being around you is enough. ”

“It'll be over soon, don't worry.” Adrian grabbed her hand and consoled herself, saying that for the time being he could only do so.

This kind of place doesn't have a compartment, but how can you feel the fiery atmosphere in the compartment? How can you better appreciate the speed and power of a boxer? Boxing in the United States, though not comparable to a few major ball sports, is also a popular sport with a lot of embrace, as can be seen from the uproar caused by Stallone's then Rocky. So, to feel that atmosphere, Claude booked a front row.

Adrian neither hated nor liked boxing, and he appreciated technical sports more than anything else, which probably had nothing to do with his constant thinking. But now he just wants to get it over with and make Monica a little better.

It was probably God who heard his voice, started again, finally split the victory in the last seconds, and Claude's bet was eventually dropped. He won only the first two games of the game and then fought back most of the time. He did a good job, but he was one step late and failed to kill his opponent completely, giving him a chance to catch his breath. The opponent's coach took the opportunity to arrange a tactic against him. If not, there may be a chance to win the next round, unfortunately...

“Too bad you lost $50,000.” Adrian grinned and touched Claude with a glass.

This is a gorgeous bar near the stadium that serves people who are recognized for watching all kinds of games, and after that they naturally come here for a drink.

“It's only $50,000.” Claude didn't take it personally, took a deep look at him, looked at Monica and Daniela talking in the distance, "and soon we'll make tens of millions or even hundreds of thousands of times more. ”

“Looks like you're ready?” Adrian picked the eyebrows, which is the most important theme of the evening.

“Of course, I've been keeping a close eye on this guy, and I have to admit, he's a genius, and he's been like a leopard, hiding himself well and waiting to be released, when most people can't see it very clearly.” Claude exclaimed, “I bet we wait until early next month at the most. ”

“Then I'll wait for your good news," Adrian did the whiskey in his hand, "but you have to be prepared for the company. ”

“I know LaVerne is great, don't worry about having him, and I just need to keep an eye on him at the beginning.” Claude laughed, "but it was you. The two acquisitions, the former I could understand, but the latter? ”

“I don't believe you see the benefits of instant messaging.” Adrian shrugged.

“Of course I understand, but the question is what to do.” Claude, open your hands.

“That's the next thing, and now there's only one thing, which is to occupy a sufficiently large market," Adrian explained a little, "which is why I told them to throw away the uā whistle stuff and make it as simple and quick as possible to attract users in the first place. I know they're unhappy, but I don't care, even if you fire them, the software program isn't complicated, we want the user base. ”

“But there has to be a limit, hasn't there? ”

“Yes, but it doesn't depend on you and me, but on Microsoft. ”

“Microsoft? ”

“Yes, think about it. If Microsoft wants to acquire this software one day, do we sell it or not? Would selling, in their own way, give us active power? Especially in software? If not, what if they developed the same software and bundled it like ffie did? ”

“… I get it,” Claude nodded after half a day of thinking, then drank the liquid out of the cup, "I have to admit, in addition to the filmmaking, you have enough vision on the internet. ”

Two people are saying that this instant communication software is naturally ICQ, and with the prophetic perception advantage, the software was found by Adrian's venture capital company just after it was developed by è people, and then it was a right-handed trick, so the software was put into the bag by AC media after the user broke 3 million.

To be honest, there are not many direct benefits to this software, but there is potential for indirect benefits, such as that huge user base. While ICQ is so simple, for reasons that would have been extremely complex and unfriendly if it hadn't been for its own problems, it would have lost most of its users, even if other companies had developed the same software, and even if Microsoft Bundled sold MN, it would not have cost ICQ too much. And even so, the software still occupies part of the market because it is the first instant messaging software.

Think about what kind of latent migration acquiescence these users can have and what kind of publicity they can have after the technology matures in a few years.

Of course, out of disgust, he registered the penguin image the first time, and it's all over the world. So if Mauā Vine wants the village, then it has to change its image and name. Anyway, it's also a simple thing. Without QQ, it can still have it, and China will not allow instant messaging software from other countries to occupy the market. It's also a sure thing to support the local.

As for another acquisition, it's no big deal. Blue Sky Studios, which will be producing the Ice Century series in the future, will also officially become part of AC Media. With Pix's success, no one will think that computer animation has any prospects.

It was because of Pixar that Uā went to great lengths to compete for Blue Sky Studios; however, it was also because of Pixar's example that Blue Sky Studios eventually invested in their embrace. Well, in that respect, the second step has been accomplished, and there is only one last step left.

“Thanks for the compliment.” Adrian poured himself and him half a cup again.

“Frankly, without you, the company would probably go a long way, and our partners would be seamless.” Claude said with emotion.

“Yes, we are the best partners,” Adrian Haha laughed and patted him on the shoulder, "as long as we were close, we could always be obsessed. ”

Ding, the two cups met, and after drinking again, the two laughed again.

“By the way, do you want to try it...” Claude said suddenly, referring to Daniela's playful smile.

“I don't mind if I do.” Adrian shrugged his shoulders willingly, "but don't say that in front of Monica. ”

“Know, she's your collection,” Claude punched a haha, “don't worry, I'll pick the best for you. ”
