This state of Rachel Weisz is also a type of "don't treat famous women as people", but it is different from Nicole and Zeta Jones. Adrian still likes her, and their interests are in conflict. Not as deep as them. He has a special relationship with her, just like Britney, Rachel has unique attributes among Adrian women.

Adrian likes Rachel like this, just like the excitement she showed in her desperate struggle. Regarding Rachel's idea, that's not important. Although she may have realized her problem, if her abusiveness was very mild at first, she is now completely controlled by Adrian. You know, her abusive complex is psychological rather than physical.

Well, back to the topic, there is no doubt that "Tomb Raider" has been quite successful. On the day of the premiere, it got 15 million box offices in 3,000 North American theaters. The following two days not only maintained this momentum, but even There has been an increase, so the final box office for the three days on the weekend was more than 47 million, and he was not allowed to sit at the top of the weekend box office rankings.

"Amazing special effects and interesting plots, the actors' acting skills are also very commendable, Stephen Somos produced a wonderful film." Variety said so.

Roger Robert also gave the film affirmation: "It's hard to say that this film appeals to me, but it applauds me almost every moment. I don't argue about the script, the schedule or acting, and the mummy, but it is certain that I don't Not boring and sometimes inexplicable, this is a good movie. "

Even if some people think that the mummy in the movie does not have the horrible effect it should have, and those unimportant jokes that are not appropriate at the moment dilute the emotions, it is also admitted that the film is good in terms of entertainment.

Somos also raised his eyebrows and exasperated. The setbacks suffered due to Extreme Fever have been reduced a lot, but now is not the time to completely relax. Although the momentum of the movie is very good, after all, he spent nearly 80 million in investment. Oh, he won't be very secure until he gets the cost back, so even if he has the idea of ​​making a sequel, he can only temporarily hold it down.

However, he can ignore this for the time being, it does not mean that others will ignore it.

"I know you may still be a bit worried, so all I have to do now is to outline the sequel, and then slowly fill in the content. When I start to prepare, I won't delay too much time. I always do this. Adrian explained to him with a smile. "Besides, you know, there is a foreshadowing in movies."

Of course, Somers knew that Adrian reminded him as early as the filming that it would be best to write a foreshadowing of the sequel in the film, such as Immorton's title to Evelyn, and the two also discussed this. .

"It's very simple. It's impossible for ordinary people to participate in such things. We can work on causality. For example, what is the important character of Rick's Evelyn's previous life-set Evelyn as the daughter of Pharaoh? How's it? Yes, we're talking about a sequel, but why can't we set the stage for the first episode? If there really is a sequel, "Adrian said at the time.

That being the case, Sommers didn't have much to say, anyway, just modifying a few lines in the movie. So Imorton's words changed slightly after meeting Evelyn for the first time, and her attitude towards her changed afterwards.

"His Royal Highness? Come with me, Ansuna!" Said Immorton.

In addition, after eating the first American, Imorton's title to Evelyn also added the words "His Royal Highness Princess". Of course, in order not to make this title look like a pit, the conversation with the curator and other people in the library was slightly modified.

"He called my Highness Princess and me Ansuna. What does this mean?" Evelyn asked the curator.

"Ansuna is his lover and the reason for his punishment. As for Her Royal Highness ... Ansuna is not a princess," the curator replied.

"Perhaps he's been buried underground for thousands of years and already confused?" Jonathan quipped.

Ansuna is the daughter of a noble, it is also possible to be called Her Royal Highness Princess-still don't entangle in these details, we are facing serious problems, he obviously wants to resurrect her. "Ades Bay, the man in black, replied.

With these foreshadowings, it will be easier to round the story after the sequel is released, and those who are very careful noticing this incomplete small bug will also realize it. However, it is indeed too early to talk about the sequel, so Adrian just asked Somos to prepare the outline for the time being, and then waited until the first part was fully fermented.

After the premiere, I stayed for two more days to confirm the weekend box office, and Adrian returned to New Zealand again. Although Rachel's appearance in "Tomb Raider" is very good, and she is basically pinched in his hands, Adrian did not play the game played many times during this time, come to Japan to grow up, do not worry. Before leaving, he did not forget to see his daughter and two pregnant women who became emotional with big belly.

Although Monica and Sophie hope that he can stay with them for a few more days, who Adrian chose the trilogy of "The Lord of the Rings"? Both Monica and Sophie lost their temper. They wouldn't understand it if it was before, but now they are pregnant or pregnant for a few months, so it needs to be understood.

Adrian is naturally not the kind of person who doesn't understand. It took a lot of effort to coax them down, and promised to return to Los Angeles again at the end of the month, all the time will be used to accompany them. Anyway, in the next period of time, it will be relatively calm, there is nothing that needs urgent attention, as long as the progress of "The Lord of the Rings" has not fallen.

In fact, progress doesn't work if Jackson wants to go down. Jackson did a really good job. Before Adrian left for the premiere of "The Skyscraper Trap" and he left the task, he was very satisfied. This time he went back to participate in " Prior to Tomb Raider, he had specially arranged a few main shots for him to try to direct, and it turned out to be great.

More importantly, he was not as obsessed with the big scenes and magnificent narrative techniques as the beginning, and what Adrian instilled in him obviously worked.

"Good job, it seems you can make these trilogy independently without me." He joked about Jackson, "It seems that the rest of the footage can be left to you."

Of course, this is just talking. Although most of this version is similar to the original version, there are many adjustments. As long as he is a person who knows the advantages and disadvantages of the original version. However, the production of certain scenes can indeed be entrusted to Jackson, but it will take more than a month or so, because the southern hemisphere has completely entered the winter.

"What should I say? Sympathy for the unfortunate encounter you encountered?" Cameron asked with a beer bottle after Adrian complained about the weather.

"No, no, James, as long as you let your studio do the best work at the lowest price, that's the biggest help for me." Adrian shook his head like a rattle.

"It doesn't matter to me, you know, my pursuit of perfection is endless." Cameron Haha laughed.

"The problem is, I'm not you, and I don't plan to invest unlimited money for a movie." Adrian took a sip of beer.

"Ha, so you admit it, at least in some respects you are inferior to me." Cameron exclaimed as if he found a new continent.

Who knows Adrian spread his hands: "When did I say that I am better than you in all aspects? Yes, I am really good at some aspects, but I am not all-round, and it is a shame to admit that I am inferior to others ?"

"Hell, you can't make me a little happy for a few minutes?" Cameron felt a punch in the air and sighed, then raised the beer bottle in his hand and bumped against him, making a jingle. .

"You know, if you want to produce good special effects, the necessary expenditure is certain, of course, if you have any extraordinary suggestions, you can also tell them." Cameron said later.

"Speaking ... I do have a suggestion." Adrian suddenly thought, "Don't you think that outsourcing some special effects can make the studio more efficient?"

"Outsourcing? Are you kidding me?" Cameron raised an eyebrow. "Or you want to tell me that you don't think my studio is doing well enough, so you plan to outsource to Industrial Light and Magic?"

"Of course not," Adrian laughed. "I know what you mean, James. I just want to say that those with less technical content, such as those hand-drawn vision CG maps-what do you think of outsourcing to China? kind?"

"China? That centralized country? What kind of CG pictures can they draw? If you want to say Hong Kong, it is still possible." Cameron frowned.

"My company began to deal with Chinese people four or five years ago. It may not be very familiar with that ancient country, but definitely not many people want to know that they may not be very good now, but it will be difficult to say later. "Adrian said leisurely, and then swallowed back the phrase" in a few years, you have to go to them to promote a new movie ".

As a rebirth, he would not know how big the Chinese market is, so when the Hollywood film company began to plan to go to China to try, he convinced Claude to participate in it on the grounds of "market". At first, because the influence was not enough, it was basically a "land reclamation" in cooperation with Paramount. A few years later, the company gradually grew, and with the acquisition of Universal, one of the seven major movie companies, it gradually began to deal with Chinese officials independently.

This didn't affect anything. It was easy to find the right person and the right way. It was easy to work together. Adrian's twists and turns were clearly more clear than those of other film companies. In addition, he also registered a lot of things at the China Intellectual Property Office-such as the penguin.

Although the China Patent Office was established in 80 years, not many people care. Until the Japanese stole countless technologies and registered them worldwide, and then asked them to pay royalties, they did not regret it. It is interesting that westerners who have come to China to develop the market do not have this consciousness. They may register trademarks and patents in places such as Taiwan and Hong Kong, but have forgotten the mainland selectively.

The most famous example is Apple, but Western companies have advantages, means, and back-ends. Unlike China in the 1980s, there is no way to know that it has been pitted by Japan. Rao is so. Many western companies have suffered a lot in this regard, so Adrian will not let this happen to him. He is now a capitalist.

However, although I got the iPad's trademarks around the world by hand-I have to say that Jobs is a crazy and powerful guy. Now Apple has completely out of the predicament and has started to have a surplus. Although there are factors including IT stocks starting to swell, But it has nothing to do with his personal ability. Maybe the plan of the iPad is already in his mind, so it is necessary to get the trademark in advance and win the relationship at that time.

As for the others, he didn't care so much, he was not great enough to remind others. As for China, in any case, most of his current achievements come from previous lives. Some things must be faced, but don't worry, he already has plans, he always has many plans.

Okay, far away, Adrian did not continue the topic of outsourcing, although he did think about it, it depends on the specific situation.

"Are you still on vacation? Have no other thoughts?" Adrian asked.

"Who told you? I'm still on vacation but I haven't given up on filming. I'm making a documentary about the ocean." Cameron Zhenzhen said eloquently.

"I heard that Fox had the idea of ​​making" Terminator 3 ", don't you want to be a director?" Adrian asked deliberately.

"Come on, I told you that the series has ended after" Terminator 2 ", and the director's cut version has explained my attitude." Cameron slightly said dissatisfied, apparently did not like Fox's third The Ministry's plan was to modify his favorite ending in order to give an ambush to the sequel, and had to put it in the director's cut.

"But you are still indispensable to the producer and screenwriter." Adrian Haha laughed.

"Yes, yes, I know." Cameron sighed. "Let's talk about you, Ed, you promised me before that there will be a movie that is very suitable for me to direct. When do you plan to make it? , I always thought you were talking about "Spider-Man", but I didn't expect ... it was really sad. "

Listening to his sigh, Adrian could not help but smile and shook his head. Does anyone know that before the "The King of the World" became obsessed with the movie because of "2001 Space Odyssey", he was an avid "Spider-Man" fan. In fact, when Terminator 2 was just completed in the early 1990s, he had the idea of ​​moving Spider-Man to the big screen, and also found the support of a movie company. They also got the movie rights from surprise. .

Unfortunately, or fortunately, because the animation and television rights of Spider-Man were sold from surprise, Sony also had some movie rights in the hands. As a result, the two could not negotiate-Sony asked for 2 billion-so it has been It couldn't be resolved. The company only bought it for a five-year period. In addition, Cameron started to work on the Titanic again, but it was finally over.

The copyright of amazing comic characters has always been confusing. There are cases where one character sells several. When the media acquired the surprise, Wall Street analysts warned that if the copyright issue cannot be solved, then these comic characters will be difficult. Being converted into capital, which has a negative impact.

So after the acquisition was completed, the media began to consolidate and at the same time began to retract the copyright of the comic character. Sony can open up to that company Lion, but cannot do so to the media. It's one thing to have some cooperation with each other, and it's also a bit of surprise in the hands of the media. In the case of lawsuits, the media have a great advantage.

In addition, the copyright of the part of the movie that Sony got is permanent. Does the world have permanent copyright? What's more, media companies in the United States, once there is not much to win against the public court, so it is better to push the boat as a personal relationship.

Adrian just replaced all the movie rights of "Spider-Man" with a few bad cartoon characters and scripts. Fortunately, no one realized the value of surprise at this time, otherwise it would not be so smooth.

"That won't work, dear James. I've seen the script you wrote for" Spider-Man. "Honestly, it's not bad, but it's a bit dark and too adult." Adrian said.

"Is there anything wrong with adultifying some superhero movies and darkening them?" Cameron said dissatisfied.

"Of course not. The biggest charm of Marvel Comics' superheroes is that they are all people with faults." Adrian shrugged. "But the first thing we need to do is start the Marvel Comics sign and let everyone They all recognize the charm of the superhero of Marvel Comics, so the movie is at least PG-13. "

Cameron's script doesn't have that much talk, Peter Parker is a bad boy with swear words, and has **** with Mary on the Brooklyn Bridge, and these need to converge, at least before opening the situation for surprise.

"Don't do this. At least this version of the script also retains the setting you designed to shoot spider silk from your wrist ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ If you wish, I can let them write your name on the script." Adri Ann patted Cameron's shoulder.

Yes, in the comics, Peter Parker sprayed spider silk with his own designed equipment, but Cameron's original script was set to spray directly on the wrist. This version, which is about to be released at the end of the year, retains his design.

"No, I'm not stingy," Cameron said with a smile. (Note)

"Okay, I have to go. Tomorrow we will arrange for everyone to go to the ski resort in Queenstown. I always have to ask." Adrian looked at the time and drank his beer.

"Wait, Ed." Cameron stopped him suddenly, with a strange look on his face.

"What's wrong?" Adrian looked at him.

"We are old friends, right?"

"of course."

"... Sometimes, it ’s better to have some kind of measure."
