King of Hollywood

“Speaking of Chinese food, I suddenly thought of a joke. One day, at Dragon Boat Festival, a Chinese lady made some rice noodles and happened to have a new neighbor next door. As usual, she sent some rice noodles to their house to move the world. The latest chapter of the book was originally published by the Book River, and the next day, when asked about it, the host of the new neighbor said that the rice noodles were delicious, which was that the lettuce outside was too hard.” Adrian said as he slowly drank his porridge bowl.

Sitting opposite him, eating breakfast in the suite, it took about two seconds for the lady to react, and then she laughed and almost sprayed the porridge out of her mouth.

“I eat Chinese food, and I'm sure even French people can't compare it," Adrian said after handing her a tissue, "and sometimes I wonder, maybe consider making a food show to introduce Chinese food, what do you think the Chinese name on the tip of your tongue sounds like? ”

“Well... not bad.” The lady replied simply, smiling and looking lovely.

Adrian didn't say anything more, she just didn't blink and looked at her, and the lady couldn't help but bow her head and seemed a little embarrassed, and then she heard him sigh.

“I've been talking all morning. Don't you have anything to say?” Adrian asks so much about the latest chapter in the ultimate hell evolution.

“This...” the girl dropped the bowl in her hand and didn't seem to know what to say. After all, they didn't even know each other until last night.

“I just... I don't... know you.” The Lady Dowager whispered.

“Well... yes.” Adrian moped this chin. “Let's just say that I'm here for a few more days. After doing my job, I have to go to some famous attractions. I was in a bit of a hurry and didn't make it. I remember you introducing yourself last night and saying you're from here, right? Why don't you be my guide for a few days. ”

“... as a tour guide?” The girl couldn't help but stare, her throat clearly shrugged, and she knew more or less what it meant.

“Yeah, tour guide.” Adrian was very relaxed, as if he really just wanted her to be a guide.

“Well... I have work to do. Corwell... Ed.” The lady did not refuse directly, but said so low, holding the delicate dishes in front of her with chopsticks.

“Kim Yong's Dragon Slaughter TV show?” Adrian asked, then smiled in her puzzled eyes: "As you said last night, this is a really good martial arts novel, and I've seen it, Kim Yong's twelve novels have read it, and he's a good storyteller. But I don't really like the character of Zhang, and the new edition doesn't perform as well as the old one. ”

“Old version?” The high lady shows her curiosity.

“Yeah, Kim Yong started the first issue of the Ming Gazette,” Adrian explained to her with a smile, "in which Zhang became the master of Emei. ”

“Emei's in charge?” Some of the girls can't believe it, "you're not...”

“Looking at Laughter River and Lake? Of course not." Adrian Haha laughed, and this made the lady blush a little, "but I think it's probably because the same section of the bridge was used again in Laughter River and Lake, so Kim Yong only took it off when revising it, and if there's a chance to find out the old version and see what's the difference between the super off-the-shelf full-text reading - < > - and the new version. ”

Speaking of which, the phone rang, Adrian got up and walked over and pressed the hands-free, and Ivankario's cold voice came out: “Time is almost up, sir, Mr. Wang is on his way. ”

Although she didn't attend the dinner last night. But that doesn't mean she doesn't know there's another woman around at the moment, so she calls him Sir instead of Ed on the phone.

“Okay, I'll be right out.” Adrian said yes, then turned off the phone and turned to the lady, “It's not difficult, just ask the crew for another vacation. I'm asking someone to talk to them. Mr. Wang Zhongjun Wang should be willing to help me with this. ”

The girl who was supposed to talk shut her mouth again. And Adrian, who packed his clothes, went on to say, "Today I'm going to go to a new picture company to see the new director Zhang Yi, and you can go with me, which is very rare. ”

After hearing Zhang Yibin's name, Gao Yuan obviously bit her lip and hesitated for a few seconds before finally answering quietly.

Somewhat decisive. Adrian shrugged his shoulders in his eyes, some regrets and some explanations. It's good to find half-cut but fairly white lotuses that can both appreciate and cause appetite.

After fixing the matter and packing it up, Adrian left the Grand Chinese Hotel with the high lady and drove off to Chaoyang District, where the new scene was located.

“I'm so sorry I drank so much last night that it didn't affect your rest.” Basically, Wang Zhongjun, who arrived at the same time, noticed the Lady Dowager who came with Adrian with her eyes lit up and said in a double tone.

“Of course not, and thank Mr. Wang for his enthusiasm," Adrian replied with an equally profound smile, "by the way, I wonder if Mr. Wang and the Dragon Slaughter team are familiar. ”

“Can I help you?” Wang Zhongjun showed his curiosity when he glanced at the girl beside him.

“I'd like to talk to the head of the crew and take a few more days off for the lady, and I'll be able to spend the next few days as my guide to the Superbiological Empire in Beijing.” Adrian explained that it was very straightforward.

Wang Zhongjun slightly picked his eyebrows, seemed a little surprised, but then smiled: “No problem. ”

Later, the two new pictures also saw the lady, but they were just surprised and not asking questions, something too normal. Although Adrian is a foreigner, he speaks fluent Chinese and does not understand the mainland. In many cases, they consciously do not regard him as a foreigner.

After a few casual conversations, he went straight to the screening room, where the new images, although packaged on two floors, were not many, but not many. In addition to the director and producer, the Wang brothers and Adrian were joined by his secretary, Ivanka, and the lady with the makeshift bed.

As I said last time, Zhang Yisheng had a set of images in the lens structure on the color. In this regard, he did not lose to Li An at all. The various classical scenes presented in "Heroes" had all the advantages of fighting. The effect was a little rotten. In the face of anonymity and the long sky, it was strange to see through the raised scene in the puncture of water beads, but it didn't hide the yoke and throw away some problems in the plot. For Chinese movies, the whole thing is still good.

Interestingly, there are differences between the lines in many places and Adrian's memories, most notably when King Qin turned his back against Anonymous. Without that creepy “widow enlightened”, “is peace”, “is not war”, replaced by a monologue, the central meaning is similar to that originally proposed by Adrian, I didn't think that the handicapped sword was my own acquaintance, but it is more grammatically ancient. It also corrected Adrian's original mistake - at this time it was King Qin, not the first, so he claimed to be a widow, not me.

Think about it, a foreigner actually said that the dialogue was not ancient enough, very uncomfortable, and dragged a piece of ancient language half-white, so long as the director, the writer and the producer had such a slight look back is inevitable.

As for the performances of the actors, it can only be said that they are not bad. After all, the viewpoint of this film is not on this list. Although Lin Zhiling's play is small, it still shows a lot of reincarnation in the first story. By the way, Adrian was going to stay with Lin Zhiling, but she was still busy with the movie, and Lin Xilei had won her the role, but this time in bed with Adrian.

Because of her innate strengths, she saw the script for the second part of Speed and Passion a long time ago and immediately proposed it to Adrian. The female undercover policeman could be transformed into Chinese. Adrian promised to come down after knowing that it was a viable idea, coupled with Lin Xilei's solving problems all over the bed.

But look at the lady around you. It's a good thing she didn't follow.

Back in the movie, Lin Zhiling's lens shows the standard of the old plot, at the same time it is a big red dress, also the intense color of the double sword — Zhiling in the lens, and Adrian's memory is completely different, can't say who is better, but the impact on the key points is very different.

So, aside from telling stories, the only thing an old plotter lacks is vision. Remember in previous lives, when people commented, again, on the difference that different people had shown in describing one thing, the Hero held the view that "the unity of tyrants is always better than the conflagration of nations”, while the Rosenmen of Kuroseming held the view that “everyone is fabricating lies for their own benefit, and the truth about the world is unknown”.

One is a political view that is not particularly convincing, and the other is the plight and sadness that humankind has always faced, although unparalleled in the box office, with film critics who seek “art", "Heroes" is typical and "Rosenmen" is classic. Not to say that the old plotter could not do it, before that, his films were quite good in this regard. Unfortunately, China was so big that it was not easy to find a director who could make commercial films, but he had to shoulder this responsibility.

The old plotter will at least try to make the movie look good and make up stories, and the "Bund Blood Case” kind of thing is entirely self-inflated. Unfortunately, he's not Lee Ann, he's not Taiwanese, he has no western education, he hasn't mixed qualifications in Hollywood, and he can't easily pull to tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars of investment, so in many eyes, he's destined to be worse than Lee Ann.

Adrian doesn't see it that way, but he's not going to do anything more. He's just going to point it out, and that's his own thing, the latest chapter in the roaring priesthood.

Pfft, after the light came on, the applause went off, Adrian led the applause, then Zhang Weiping and the Wang brothers clapped together.

“Very good, very good, although there are some minor flaws, but I believe this is already the highest standard in China at present.” Adrian does not hesitate to praise, “may I hear your arrangement? ”

Two eyes were exchanged, and Zhang Weiping opened his mouth: “The publicity here has been arranged and will be shown in December at the Hero age, while in North America we would like to hear Mr. Corwell's opinion first. ”

“Well, I'll be brief,” Adrian laughed, "and I intend to arrange for Heroes to be spotted in Los Angeles at the end of December. to get tickets to the Oscars, and then make a low-intensity speculation for a period of time, until it gradually increases after the Oscars, eventually showing between May and September on a case-by-case basis - don't you think? ”

Two silent pieces.

“If the situation is not optimistic, there may be a further delay.” Adrian didn't care what they were thinking, so he went on, "Although I'm very fond of the film, I can't represent all Americans, so if necessary, it will definitely be postponed and spelled out for the appropriate long term. Don't be too common. ”

Zhang Weiping then looked at Wang Zhongjun. Although he could handle domestic affairs, he lacked understanding of the market balance, so he had to turn to his current opponent Huayi for help. For the new scene, it doesn't matter if Heroes makes money in North America. Anyway, the copyright over there has been sold to Universal, but if the box office is too low, it's not as good as Big Wrist] Skin is pretty.

Because of Adrian's interference, the new scene is now very close to Huayi, which is why the Wang brothers can come and watch the Heroes screening. But because of this, the competition is also a lot bigger. After all, Adrian said last time, at present he only likes Feng Xiaogang and Zhang Yisheng. And Feng Xiaogang is a little bit more local, which means that the old plot can be more international.

In this case, the two sides, though close, must rarely read the full story of the evil life of the Shen Nong for their own benefit. Nonetheless, only Huayi is now more familiar with the situation in North America. Before Big Wrist was released, they had people following them all the way.

“I agree with Mr. Corwell that the worldwide distribution capability is trustworthy.” Wang Zhongjun nodded very definitely.

In that case, there is nothing left to say. Zhang Weiping believes that Huayi will not dismantle his own platform at this time, and will be able to distribute none of the Chinese films in North America for several years. On the inside, on the outside.

Later on, Adrian said goodbye to the details of the Heroes' needs and North American views on films in foreign languages. But when he came here, he was in a car with Ivanka and Lady Gao. When he returned, he was in a car with the Wang brothers.

“China's entertainment market is not yet fully developed, and whoever gets it right early can get a big piece of cake in this market.” On the way back. Adrian, sitting side by side with Wang Zhongjun, said.

“Yes, but," Wang Zhongjun pushed his glasses, "the profit is huge, the risk is huge, right? ”

“Yes,” Adrian said affirmatively, but his face hasn't changed, "so let's change our minds and shape the market instead of just meddling in a piece of cake. ”

Wang Zhongjun immediately raised his eyebrows, and Wang Zhonglei in the front co-pilot's seat looked at him through the rear view mirror.

“This - I'm afraid it's not that easy,” Wang Zhongjun smiled and closed his eyes, "this requires a lot of strength, as well as a lot of experience. ”

“Strength can accumulate slowly, as long as opportunities are seized, a the media can reach this point in a short time, precisely because every opportunity over the past decade has been seized. As for experience, I think we can complement each other, can't we? ”

“I had no idea Mr. Corwell was so fond of our friendship.” Wang Zhongjun punched a haha.

“Frankly, I don't have a lot of capacity in commerce, except for the fact that I've never had a good eye, and I get huge returns on every long-term investment, like Apple, like Google, like the Baidu Empire's resurgence of full-scale war.” Adrian smiled slightly and looked him in the eye, "I really looked at Huayi, Mr. Wang, I know China very well, I'm not Murdoch, and I never thought of controlling the media here, even if you wanted to, the government wouldn't approve. I need partners, partners who need influence to radiate the entire mainland of China, partners who can radiate the whole of Asia in the future! For this reason, I don't mind making some upfront investments, even if I may develop competitors in the future, so please don't question my sincerity. ”

Speaking of pauses for a few seconds, Adrian glanced out the window: “Look, I helped you distribute Big Wrist in North America, and you helped me stir up the Harry Potter collection of Zhang Qiu's character selection in China, and maybe help to synchronize the series in China in the future, which is a good start. ”

Liu Yuzheng is now well known in China. The release of "Harry Potter and the Magic Stone" earlier this year made the whole series burn rapidly on the continent. Later on, Harry's first lover's Asian character selection campaign received a great deal of attention after a little speculation. Growing up in mainland China, her mother is a famous dancer, she entered England two years ago, and people are cute and beautiful. These conditions are extremely appealing to Chinese people eager to be recognized.

And having kept a low profile, little attention had been paid to girls who had been pretended to be pretending to be pretenders, and the final public surprise was considerable, not only in the media, but also on the Internet, where fans had created official websites.

In this regard, Huayi helped a lot behind the scenes. Although the speculation is sometimes very juvenile, it is generally well done, and the official website is where they pushed it to make it happen. When Adrian transferred the information to them, although not explicitly stated, they understood the meaning, and from this point of view, Huayi was indeed a very good partner.

With Adrian's words, the cabin was silenced down, and half a day later Wang Zhongjun, who seemed to think, opened his mouth again: “I have a very strange feeling, Mr. Corwell, how can I… seem to be talking business with a Chinese man? ”
