King of Hollywood

Chapter Five: I Want 100%

Everyone in the conference room looked at the same place, and it was this guy who said he was going to push the blame on the mcm record, and this guy thought the head office would support Motora's plan, and now he thinks he could start with that huāhuā guy. 15 This is a middle-aged guy in his 40s, with a distinct Asian appearance, sitting right on Motora's right, while being very discreet, Sam? Tanaka, Japanese American, Secretary of Sony Records Board.

“As we all know, most of the credit to AC Media for making movies and TVs goes to Adrian? Corwell's, in addition to that, according to internal sources, two super popular under-nv idol singers held up by mcm were also his pens and even participated in the production of several popular songs, which miraculously describes him as never exaggerating.” Sam? Tanaka whispered, "But if you think he's just like that, that's wrong, and I think everyone sitting here should have heard of it, even though the ac media is by Claude? Ron Reese is at the helm, but the general direction of development is always Adrian? Kowell decides.” [Search latest updates all over]

“As you said, that's just what I heard.” Someone said that.

“So have you ever asked for proof?” Tanaka asked immediately, "I had the privilege of attending an old Ron Reese wine party, and he personally admitted that he didn't expect the AC media to grow so fast, thanks to his godson's early planning, and he used one, say, Claude? Ron Reese is the left brain of AC Media, analyzing, calculating and executing, so, Adrian? Corwell is the right brain of AC Media, which is responsible for thinking, appreciating and visualizing impressions, and when the two sides are perfectly combined, there will naturally be no disadvantages. ”

Speaking of which, he paused, swept the conference room, and after everyone had digested the phrase, he said, “I think we can get a review like old Ronnie's, Adrian? Corwell certainly has other abilities besides film and television and music production, otherwise it will not be possible to remain in the chairmanship of the AC Media Board of Directors. Well, even if old Ron Reese exaggerated, or Adrian? Colwell was killed by Claude? Why can't we start with Ron Rice, who is still chairman of the AC Media board? ”

“Are you sure you can get through Adrian? The nv around Corwell, get the intel we need, Sam?” Motora asked at this time.

“But cào is very xing, as I said, Adrian? Kowell has always been the chairman of the AC Media Board, and it is impossible not to inform him of this acquisition plan, and his brilliant sè is well known,” Make gestures in the fields, "more importantly, unlike the average huāhuā, at least everyone sitting here knows that the average person can handle three nv people at the same time is already very hard, but like Adrian? There are at least six or seven nv people in Kowel who have been in love for a long time. This, along with the information we collect on a daily basis, is not hard to deduce, Adrian? Kowell is a narcissist and a strong control over yu, so his relationship with the nv should be profit-oriented. ”

“Are you trying to say that we told one of them, Adrian? Colwell can give it to her. Can we give it to her?” Another person asked and smelled a little nasty, "so why not just find an nv person to seduce. ”

“We have to think carefully about who we are.” There's no interface in the field, just looking at Motora.

“I remember, Adrian? There seems to be a Japanese nv actor next to Kowell,” The guy just said it again, and the tone hasn't changed, "and it seems to have been given to him by the head office when he went on vacation to Japan a few years ago. ”

As soon as that sentence came out, the atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became a little subtle, and many people looked at Tanaka with an unintelligible eye, a generation of immigrants who followed their parents to the United States when they were twelve.

“It would have been a good choice a few years ago, but now, it's the stupidest option.” Tanaka replied quietly.

The other side picked an eyebrow and was about to continue rebutting it, but Motora chā came in: "Okay, Bill, listen to Sam first. ”

Then he made a gesture to Tanaka, indicating that he continued, Tanaka owed slightly, and said again: “This nv man needs some brains, can weigh the pros and cons, can't have too much brains, too much of a score will make him timid and cautious; she and Adrian? Kowell can't get to know him for too long, preferably within six months, too short, not necessarily close to Kowell, not necessarily able to hear anything from him, too deep, not necessarily touched by us, and possibly even give the message to Kowell; she also has to have a certain ambition, want a step further * *, anxious people may be pulled together. ”

Speaking of which, he took a breath and swept around, even though he was already very careful, he was inevitably a little proud of the lu: “We had a great opportunity to meet the above conditions, we had other channels, we didn't need her to pry too much information, just a little lu to understand some of his itineraries; and Bill was right, Colwell could give her, we could give her, can't we even hold an nv? Of course, in order to demonstrate our good faith and to give each other confidence, it would be preferable for Mr. Motora to come forward and negotiate with each other personally. ”

After that, he looked at Motora, slightly nervous, and Motora raised her head in silence: “I think you've got a choice, Sam. ”

“Yes, Mr. Motora," Tanaka finally couldn't help but smile with a little joy, “I do have a good candidate! ”

Not to mention Sony's plans, Adrian had a headache this time, and this year's Oscar nomination list was released earlier, just early in February, at the Academy of Cinema. Basically no different from Adrian's predictions, American Beauty was nominated for the best movie, the best director, the best male nv lead, the best original script, and Nicole was praised by the media, claiming that it was because she left Cruz that independent Nicole had herself and glowed brightly, and Cruz might be furious to tear the paper apart if he saw it.

In contrast, The Beautiful Legend of Sicily is a bit colder, with only the best films, the best nv protagonists, and… the best photography. Unfortunately, even if the Italian version is released in Europe, the best nominations for foreign language films cannot be won because both investment and production are American companies.

But it doesn't matter, anyway, the most important thing in producing "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily" is to get the best nv lead for Monica. It doesn't matter if you don't get another nomination. Last year Adriana nominated two of the best directors. It's not surprising that the Film Academy didn't consider him this time. Naturally, what we need to do now is start doing more PR, and Monica's chances, though more than once, are the most appropriate one, and the accident that caused his headache is happening.

“What a troublesome thing.” Adrian sighed as he put his feet on the desk and leaned back against the high chair, throwing the nomination list out of the air.

Although Monica and Nicole both nominated the best nv protagonists, American Beauty has always been well received, and the box office has cumulatively surpassed 50 million, but Caroline is not as good as Marina if she were simply to say that the nv protagonists are shocking. Adrian was praised by many for his brainstorming four classic lenses for The Beautiful Legend of Sicily, and for his use of body language alone, almost as one film critic said, with Holly in Piano Class? Hunter is comparable.

So, although Monica didn't have much time, she was a well-deserved soul figure in the whole Beautiful Legend of Sicily, and Nicole was to be split by Spacey in the Beauty of America. Although she could support each other, she was less bright than Monica. Even though the two nv were equally beautiful and xing, the xing sensation that caused her pain was more appealing than the simple beauty of Caroline.

Then, with Adrian's full support, Monica's capture of the Oscar's best nv protagonist could be very xing, if not for this variable.

“Hillary? Swank, Boys Don't Cry. Damn, how could you forget this!” Adrian knocked his finger on his forehead.

Caroline from the original American Beauty by Annette? Benin plays a little bit more than Nicole, plus her husband Warren? Beatty had connections in Hollywood —— yeah, that Woody? Alan wants to be his finger, Warren? Bitty -- yet lost to an unknown nv actor: Hillary? Swank.

It is well known that for the judges of the Faculty of Cinematography, NV actors want to win awards, and the more abnormal the corner sè is, such as an NV lover with a xing disorder, who wants to become a male protagonist but is eventually murdered, and is adapted according to real events, absolutely their favorite.

Meanwhile, with the advent of the new millennium, the movement for the rights of the xing group began to flourish, although it was not as powerful as it had been a few years later, mainstream society had always tended to be conservative, and anyone with a discriminating hat had to retreat temporarily, and there were not a few people in Hollywood who were in love with xing, and the same xing home camp in San Francisco was further north.

The movie adores them, and the quality itself is not good, but Swank's performance is eye-catching, so that it makes her unusual image more prominent, no wonder it gets cold.

Adrian doesn't want to see this coming. He's been planning this for so long. Isn't that why he took a little gold man for Monica? It was definitely not his choice to back off and look for another opportunity, but it was not easy to settle the matter by PR.

Knock on mén and push mén in with the folder Charlize.

“This is an assessment of a takeover case sent by Crowe.” She walked over and handed him something.

“Thanks, I'll just watch it and get back to him.” Adrian nodded and threw the nomination list aside. "You're just in time, Charlie. There's something you need to do. Give Harvey for me? Weinstein called and asked if he was interested in dining with me at night. ”

The Hollywood Planet Restaurant, located at 129 Vivalis Street, looks like a water-blue sè planet with themes like American movies and TV, Rocky, Rambo, Terminator, Jurassic Park dinosaurs, all of them, and a photo shoot in every bathroom with four big white sharks. The restaurant was first established in '91 and now has more than a dozen chains, with many Hollywood stars investing, like Schwarzenegger, or the former Willis F.U.

Speaking of which, celebrity restaurants are a Hollywood tradition, after all, they have no other skill but to perform. The restaurant is relatively the best run, and they can also use their calling power to get Shadow Mi to visit, such as Schwarzenegger and his wife who owned a restaurant called schatzionmain.

schatzi is german, which means “baby”, “darling”, and main means “main”, which is the most dear baby, think about that big guy Schwarzenegger, the name of this restaurant is really good.

schwarzenegger often eats breakfast in his own restaurant, and his shadow mi naturally won't let go of this opportunity.

Most celebrities, however, have neither the time to manage the store nor the knowledge to manage it, and opt to withdraw after a long period of inefficiency, so the restaurant runs as fast as it did. Schatzionmain restaurant in Schwarzenegger was closed to mén in '98, and Planet Hollywood restaurant was declared bankrupt last year, but was soon reinvigorated with an infusion of funds.

Most stars also come to these restaurants from time to time, and although the puppies often spin around because of their reputation, the owners are also stars and are very careful in this regard, so many directors, producers, or film company executives come here to dine. It's all about relationships, talking to each other, maybe climbing a relationship with someone, or talking about a business where a star joins a movie, and all these restaurants have movies and pictures of the stars, and the food is guaranteed, and Adrian invites Weinstein to dinner on Hollywood.

“I like the ducks here.

ou, smooth and juicy, oil-free, come at least twice a month. ”Harvey? Weinstein said, a thin duck.

ou put it in the entrance, chewed it twice, and swallowed it with an intoxicating look.

He's still the same. He's got his little eyes full of mumps, big stomach poop, around his neck.

ou go round and round, but the hair in front of your forehead is much less than before.

“It's good, but I think it's better if you keep it down a little bit, Harvey, without you, Hollywood would lose a lot of sè.” Adrian smiled at the lipstick.

“Rest assured, Ed, God does not yet intend me to return to his arms, I recover well and am stronger than ever.” Weinstein haha laughed and put down the knife and fork and drank the lipstick before saying: “Tell me about you, you didn't invite me out to tell you about the old days, did you? ”

“Of course," Adrian laughed, "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily was released by Miramax, right? ”

“What do you want? Best movie?” Weinstein immediately asked that his brain wasn't spinning as fast as it should.

“No, no, on the subject," The American Beauty "is undoubtedly more popular with the old guys.” Adrian shrugged his shoulders, and Slow Slow Slow Slip Slipped a ji

ou cut it down and put it in your mouth before saying, “Best nv protagonist, I want the best nv protagonist. ”

“Wow, that's touching," Weinstein exaggerated, shouting, looking straight in the face, "What can I do for you? I don't suppose your strength would be a problem, would it? ”

“If it was before, fine, but this time there was a strong opponent.” Adrian didn't hide it either.

“I don't think so, Nicole? Kidman over Monica? How strong Belucci was,” Weinstein said directly, then lu made a deep smile, “and then...”

“It's not Nicole,” Adrian shook her head, "is the nv protagonist of Boys Don't Cry, Hillary? Swank. You know, real examples adapted, unusual horns sè plus gay xing, those guys' favorites. ”

Weinstein looked back carefully and nodded: "Admittedly, you're telling the truth, and I ignored this, which is really a problem, a lot of trouble. ”

“So I need someone more capable of public relations to come to cà Delhian and point out the theme,“ that can only be you. ”

“It's flattering," Weinstein picked the eyebrows, "but isn't it a little late? The list of nominations has been published. ”

Once the Oscar nomination list is published, the Cinema Academy judges will not be able to accept all kinds of invitations under si. Although public relations people are impenetrable and can always bypass the methods of finding and approaching the judges, it is not easy to be obvious that they cannot be so direct and will be monitored by the eyes of countless opponents.

In fact, Oscar's public relations are mostly conducted on a regular basis, inviting judges to parties and events, exaggerating that some things were decided before the nomination list was published, and Weinstein's sense of smell in this regard was not generally sensitive, and even LaVerne, who previously ran Bosworth, needed Adrian's support to defy his chamber.

“I know this is difficult, but...” Adrian lifted the glass and shouted, “The resources under the flag are at your disposal. ”

Weinstein's eyes suddenly lit up, which is tantamount to saying that during this time, he can allow the AC media to fully cooperate with himself in all aspects, even for a while, and this youhuo is irresistible.

“Really?” He rubbed his hands with excitement, "That's great. If everything works out my way, the chances of success are that xing is at least 90 +. ”

“No, Harvey, I want 100 percent.” Adrian understated.

“100%?” Weinstein stayed put, and he never thought Adrian would see Monica so heavily.

“It's impossible, nothing can be 100% successful.” That's what he said.

“I know, Harvey, but...” Adrian looked him in the eye slightly, “an average investment of 200 million, an average North American box office of more than 300 million, a global average box office of more than 800 million trilogy, and as long as you do that, I'll give this jiāo to Miramax cào. ”

Weinstein shut his mouth and turned his eyes, seemingly not knowing how to say it.

Adrian laughed: “I know what you're worried about, Harvey, and you've always wanted to make Miramax big and strong, and you wanted cào to make some big productions, and when you first joined AC Media, what you and your brother saw was that we didn't have a bigger movie company, and that would give you better development. But after acquiring Globe, you start to worry about us suppressing you and getting Miramax to make way for Globe. This is completely unnecessary. Without you, Miramax will not be Miramax. Although resources will be tilted to the world, we will not be at your expense, so I put forward this condition. ”

Said here he stalled and added: "Of course, this is worth at least three of the best nv characters. ”
