King of Hollywood

v1 Chapter 3: step 1

Although someone sets himself a goal of "greatness", it is not easy to do it. Men who have been able to attract women since ancient times have either money or power or both.

Think about it, if Adrian can control Hollywood, and want to promote who can become a big star who can make a big star, how could those actresses who had made him love not to (put) pregnant (send) hug. Just the millions of net worth he has now is absolutely not enough, so the act of collecting money is imperative.

If you change to ordinary people, of course, you will worry about how to make money, but it is relatively simple for him to be born again. Thanks to the novels he read on the Internet, he really remembered a lot of ways to make money. For example, before asking Claude to help with the yen.

I just know how to know, but it's not easy to do. In the previous life, he was just a small director. He had enough insights in the movie, but he did n’t know anything about finance. Although those ways of making money can find a lot of relevant information by looking up the information on the Internet, he wants to use it in practice. It's impossible at all.

So if he wants to borrow this opportunity to make money, then he must need someone who can help him financially.

Although there are a group of fox friends and dog friends around each child, there are also friends who can make friends, such as Claude Ronries who was convinced by Adrian. The relationship between the two of them is quite close, especially their father is not only the same graduate of Harvard, but also a very acquainted partner at the time of the Brotherhood, but also the godfather of the other child. After the death of Adrian's parents, the Ron Rees also helped Adrian a lot.

If you want to describe Adrian and Claude in Chinese, friends who are young or wear open crotch pants are the most appropriate adjectives. In short, these two people have troubled and bullied others together to make women together since childhood. Even if Crowd was called back to the company by his father to help, he would still have time to meet with Adrian from time to time. Adrian's parents were with him for a long time after his death, and he tried to get him out of the predicament.

Although Adrian is not the same as his former son-in-law, he has inherited all the feelings and memories of the original Adrian. He still has a kind of natural affinity for Claude. And according to previous memories, this guy's commercial talent is not generally excellent, so Adrian thought of him for the first time.

It was just to convince Claude that it cost him too much. Fortunately, a killer based on memory is still useful-$ 6 million is not much, but there are few opportunities for him to fully show his ability, and Ah Drian also said, and even if he messed up, he lost nothing. Coupled with the other party or his friends from childhood to childhood, finally got the first step.

After all, if Claude simply agreed to the inexplicable and almost flawed plan, Adrian would have to think carefully if he had other thoughts.

既然 "Since the first step has been taken, the second step should be rushed out." After getting the most crucial start, Adrian returned to the villa quickly got busy.

From February 1990 to May 1990, he basically stayed in the villa for the entire three months, except for going to the Screenwriter Guild and the library, he had hardly been out, letting the housekeeper take care of it. Mrs. Lun was surprised for a long time.

For the first time in this time, he hated this era. The computer still contained DOS programs, the mobile phone was huge and awkward, and the laptop could only be described as simple. There was no Internet, no portal site, no convenient and fast search engine.

This forced Adrian to prepare a large number of books and dictionaries, and spent at least a week to learn and become familiar with the use of typewriters before he began to copy the script.

The second step is of course to enter Hollywood to use movies to build his influence. Although he has nothing to do with the film industry, how could Adrian, who had already set his goals, have no plan, it is undoubtedly the easiest to start with a screenwriter.

If it was a bit uncertain at the beginning to set his own goals, when he started to recall carefully the scripts that he had read and analyzed before rebirth, he made a surprising discovery-as long as the time spent was long enough, he Basically, I can completely read out the script I have read, and it is very clear.

This may be related to the memory fusion and reorganization after his rebirth, who knows? But this gift of God undoubtedly made his chips more and more sufficient. So in the past three months, he has completed at least six complete scripts, and there are ten script outlines, then next ...

Bertrand Erwin stopped the car carefully and looked around for the next four weeks. It was determined that he murmured in a low voice and walked towards the target villa. He reached out and rang the bell, and after a few minutes the door was knocked open. A plain-looking middle-aged woman appeared in front of him and looked at him with doubts: "Who are you looking for?"

"Will Mr. Adrian Cowell live here? I'm Bertrand Erwin of the editorial department of Universal Pictures. We have a date." Bertrand asked politely, and couldn't help but grumble. stand up. Living in a villa like this but writing a script for a film company, is the rich now bored to such an extent?

"Come in, Mr. Adrian has been waiting for you for a long time." The woman let out a look of sudden realization.

Bertrand nodded and walked in, and at the same time there was some doubt in her heart. The "you" she seemed to use plural "you". What is going on?

很快 He soon understood that because he knew three of the four men sitting in the villa's living room, his counterparts at Warner, Fox and Disney.

Why, this Mr. Cowell wants to sell for a price? This was Bertrand's first thought, but he threw it out immediately. Although the other person looks very young, it doesn't look like he is short of money.

I didn't wait for him to come up with it. The assistant in the editorial department of Disney called Billy Edie had raised his hand and greeted with a smile: "Hey, wait for you, Bertrand, come here soon."

He said he exchanged glances with the other two. The three shrugged inconsistently, making Bertrand confused. Just wait for me? What do you mean?

"Can you explain, Mr. Cowell?" Asked Bertrand, who was sitting on the couch after introducing himself to the young man, "I think you should also ask us to come today?"

"Oh, of course," the young man laughed. "That's right. I wrote a few scripts in a whim during this time. I wanted to see if I could make some money. So I sent it to your company and everyone came over. Talk to me. "

几 "How many ... how many scripts ?!" Bertrand was a little stunned, and turned subconsciously to look at the three colleagues. The three of them shrugged again and again with the expression "You understand it".

Bertrand suddenly felt that his head was not enough. Obviously, this Mr. Adrian Cowell meant that he sent different film scripts to several large companies at the same time, and several large The company also sent someone to contact him to buy the script!

What a joke, even the top writers in Hollywood cannot satisfy several large companies at the same time, unless it was written very early. But judging from the attitude of Billy, who came first, this really should have been written by the other party recently. This ... is incredible.

Bertrand has seen the script. This is called "Ten Things I Hate You" is a very easy campus comedy story. Although some methods to promote the plot are more old-fashioned, the whole is quite interesting. In the United States, the most worry-free movie is not only a romantic drama but a youth campus drama. As long as the script is excellent, choose a director who has no head in the water and a few beautiful young actors. The movie box office is generally not bad, sometimes even And make a lot of money.

Because of this, the manager of the editorial department asked him to come over and try to win the script.

"It's amazing, Mr. Cowell," Bertrand suddenly looked back, followed by squinting Billy and Warner's Sekla Jefferson and Fox's Barney Jacklin, "To be honest, Your story about youth on campus is excellent. UU reading www.uukanshu.com. ”

三 The three slightly shook their heads in turn, Bertrand could not help but be surprised. These four scripts are not all stories of the same type? This is ... too exaggerated.

But he restrained his emotions immediately, and made a glance at the three, and Billy nodded slightly. Since Mr. Cowell chose to negotiate with several companies at the same time, it is necessary for them to join forces to suppress the price. This is normal, not to mention that the other party is still a newcomer.

Although the other party has given different scripts to different companies, and it looks like they are not short of money to spend, I'm afraid it won't be much lower, but one point is one point.

感谢 "Thank you for your compliment, Mr. Erwin," Adrien said on the couch with a smile, "let's get to the point."

当然 "Of course." After a quick exchange of eyes, Bertrand took the lead and said, "Although your script is excellent, after all, you are a newcomer and not a professional screenwriter, so I can only give up to $ 35,000."

Billy next to him could not help but twitched his lips, but then echoed Warner's Secla and Fox Barney, saying, "Yes, Mr. Cowell, the price is fair."

"Really?" Adrian frowned slightly before him, "seems to be too low."

But he smiled again immediately: "It's okay, let's go."

The four people couldn't help it, especially Bertrand. The reason why the price was kept to the lowest at the beginning was to facilitate the subsequent bargaining. Unexpectedly, the other party agreed to what he wanted to do.

Adrian immediately solved the mystery, he put two folders on the coffee table: "Yes, if it is convenient, please help me to see how these two scripts?"
