King of Hollywood

v2 Chapter 6: Next goal is Miramax

Chapter VI is Miramax

Strangely shaped trees stand around, and the staggered branches form a weird picture. If the surroundings are quiet and picturesque, and the light is dim, even if a bold person walks around, it will feel a cold neck.

However, it would be a big mistake to think that this is a forest with strange scenery. This is Studio 7 and everything here is artificial and used for filming. There is no such weird place in the real forest, or in the real forest, such strange places are in rare places. Even professional climbers are hard to reach, let alone the film crew. Basically, the style is weird like "Broken Head Valley", and the story was born in the 8th century. The crew will not go to the forest for field shooting. Generally, it is part of the real scene and netbsp; "light, the light is more intense, I need The environment is more gloomy, and a weird atmosphere is needed, which is obviously not enough right now. "Burton of the crowd clapped his hands and said, with a disheveled head and casually dressed clothes, at first glance, it was more like just coming out of the poor kiln. Rover, not a well-known director.

Each director has his own style, such as Cameron. When shooting, he also does not trim the edges, but he is unmatched on the set. Jonathan Demi has always been neatly dressed on the set, speaking to the actors again and again. For acting, if necessary, there will be a stern tone of speech; Michael Bay likes to mingle with the actors on the set and looks very close to the people, of course, mainly because he does not have the right temper now.

So Burton now looks a bit embarrassed, and it is understandable that the commander is gentle and not aggressive when shooting. These are superficial phenomena. If there is no charm and boldness, how can these guys listen to him?

In short, Adrian only needs to see satisfactory results, and how the process does not need to be concerned. He has already watched the video. Although it is still rough, it is basically consistent with what he wants. As a director and producer, he has already produced several movies, and this judgment is still there.

"Honestly, you are well dressed, classical, and a little gothic, with a mysterious appeal." Adrian looked at Johnny Depp, who was wearing 8th-century fashion The black coat covered the whole body, and the white shirt inside was faintly revealed. It was indeed handsome.

"Thank you." Depp smiled. Although Adrian's rescue of Rui Fan on Halloween last year was not known to the media, Rui Fan's friends, such as Levis and Depp, were very clear. Depp, in particular, knew that he would be scared in the future. If Rui Fan really died outside his club, it would be a huge blow to anyone, so he would have a certain change in Adrian's senses.

"Maybe you can try playing more of this role, which should help you." Adrian looked at him rubbing his chin, looking thoughtful.

"Come on later." Depp shrugged his shoulders and said uncritically that although his feelings for Adrian had changed, it did not mean that there was no separation, and the slightly suggestive words were ignored.

Adrian smiled and said nothing, then turned to look at the beautiful **** the other side: "Look, what did I say, Liv? This dress is very suitable for you, isn't it?"

"It's not bad," Liv said with a smile and a flower. She wore a light green lace dress with a bit of lace from the 8th century, and a black, silky long waterfall hangs down. Her blue eyes flashed a little light, and she was extremely beautiful .

This role is really suitable for her. Burton had praised Liv's image and the characters of the story before. The only trouble is that her height is slightly higher, about 5 feet o inches, so she is missing a copy. Petite feeling of pity. However, Liv, only 6 years old, has made up for all this in terms of purity, especially those blue eyes that have not changed because of her life and work. Feet in height, so this hasn't become a big problem in the end.

"By the way, Ed, can I talk to you in private?" Liv said suddenly, and Adrian, who was about to leave, raised his eyebrows in surprise, looked at Depp and then nodded in agreement. Come down: "No problem."

Although Depu frowned, he did not speak, but said hello with an interest and then left. Liv then took Adrian's arm and walked intimately behind the scene. Turning behind a tall set of wooden planks, Liv turned around and looked out with the probe, and then spit out her tongue, and she looked very cute.

"Is there something wrong?" Adrian asked at the sight.

"No, it's nothing." Liv waved her hands, and the elated expression on her face didn't have time to dissipate. Adrian, who had guessed something, didn't point it out, just asked: "So, what do you want Tell me, Liv? "

"Hmm ..." The apparently unexpected girl rolled her eyes, then thought of a topic, "I want to thank you for giving me this opportunity, Ed. Whether it is mom, friend, or Mr. Burton, think this The role is perfect for me. "

"Nothing, this script originally had your role first, and then had the whole story. If it is not for you, then I will not be a screenwriter anymore." Adrian shrugged, and said without a word.

Liv blinked and didn't know what was coming to her. Suddenly she turned to Ma Adrian, showing a sweet and innocent smile: "No matter what, I should thank you, so ..."

Before she could finish, she rolled over with a smile and touched Adrian's mouth lightly. Adrian raised his eyebrows again in surprise and touched his mouth before saying, "It's an unexpected way of thanking you, but can I respond to your thanks?"

"If you want ... Of course you can." Liv's smile became a bit subtle, and the feeling of not caring again came out.

Is this seducing me? Adrian's eyes narrowed slightly, and she thought of her cold and warm attitude when she saw Depp talking to her before, those she had just given birth to. He immediately held the girl's face, kissed her rosy lips, and then pried open her teeth effortlessly.

Liv opened her eyes suddenly, her hands involuntarily rested on Adrian's shoulders, and her small tongue began to subconsciously want to push out the foreign object that suddenly came in, but after a few times she became obedient. As the other party's rhythm lingered and fiddled, after kissing for dozens of seconds, the two girls separated, and the confused girl in the eyes crawled softly on Adrian, and gave out a long sigh from his throat. .

"Hey, this is not polite." After breathing a few breaths, Liv, who had come back, shoved Adrian, but with a flirtatious tone in her tone, two faint fluffs flew on her beautiful face. The blush, as well as her 8th-century lady dress, have a distinctive style.

"I asked you, you said you could do this." Adrian looked innocent.

Liv snorted softly, raised her arms and beaked, and looked very cute: "I haven't said that before, I mean, if you want, you can respond to my gratitude, but didn't say you can this way"

Even so, the feeling of being indifferent still hasn't faded. Adrian couldn't help but smile, he seemed to touch the thought of the young girl in front of him.

"So what do you think I should do? Have a party? You run away early at each party. Or ask you out? I don't think Ms. Bibi will agree, and before ..." Adrian blinked and said nothing. Go on.

"That was because I felt inappropriate, so I refused," Liv argued.

"Yeah, even you don't think it's appropriate." Adrian raised his hands. "Well, that's it. It looks like the filming is going to continue. Let's hurry up and don't worry Tim."

After talking about Liv's shoulder and walking into the set, Liv followed a few steps and suddenly looked up to adrian: "Well, then, give you a chance, how about going on a date? "

"Are we dating?" Adrian raised an eyebrow. "Are you sure, Liv? Your mother probably won't agree."

"My mother is my mother," Liv said eagerly, looking at Adrian a little provocatively and curiously. "What I want to do does not necessarily require the consent of my mother."

"That's it," Adrian stroked his chin. "I only stayed in Los Angeles for a few days, and I'm going back to Alabama to continue making new movies, so I won't do it until I finish the work there."

"No problem," Liv agreed without a second thought. "Then I'll wait for your call."

She ran away with a smile, and the figure with the skirt was really elegant. After a few steps, she turned around and raised her hand to Adrian's ear, making a gesture of listening to the phone.

"Interesting girl." Adrian murmured, and after saying hello to Burton and Depp in the past, he immediately left the set of "Broken Head". He came here first to understand the shooting situation, and then to see how Liv was doing, in order to give her a great debut, but it took a lot of effort in the memory selection.

Since there were no problems with the shooting, Burton did everything well, and Adrian had promised not to interfere with the specific shooting situation. And unexpectedly let Liv promised a date, then naturally should leave, knowing that he still has a lot of things to deal with, as Charlize said, these days' schedule must be very full.

"Summer is also the season of harvest." Adrian, who was in the car, muttered this, and there were more than one date after returning from Alabama. Followed by Charlize, who was closing the door of the car, he heard this sentence, and frowned, but only sighed. She naturally knew the purpose of Adrian's come to the set of "Broken Head Valley", and guessed why he Can say this.

"Let's go to lunch now, and then go back to the club." Adrian, who saw this expression in his eyes, smiled and shook his head, then greeted Glover to drive, and the phone in his arms rang again.

"Hey, Crow, I was just lamenting that summer is also the harvest season, and then you called, I think it must be good news." Adrian said with surprise, the call was from Claude. About Progress in the latest acquisition.

"I have no opinion. If you think this company is good, then do it, but I want to remind you that after this arrangement, you must consider Laverne's position." After listening to the general situation, he continued to speak. "Yes, he certainly deserves it, as long as he doesn't write a short check like Paramount had originally ... well, so be it."

After turning off the phone, Adrian was furious, a funny smile appeared in the corner of his mouth, and Claude began to let go of his hands and feet, which is a good thing. With the integration of TBs, Claude shifted his goals to other places. After several selections and asked Adrian's opinions, he chose Miramax.

Yes, it is the Miramax who was currently part of the independent film honors due to Adrian's appearance. This film company, founded by the Weinstein brothers in the 1930s, has a good qualification in Hollywood. Although Bosworth currently divides some of the things that originally belonged to it, it is still an independent film company that cannot be underestimated.

Originally from last year, Dinis was talking to them about mergers and acquisitions, but the Weinstein brothers wanted to maintain the company's independent operating rights, coupled with the emerging media cooperation with Viacom and the acquisition of TBs attracted Disney's attention, so dragged on until now.

Claude therefore aimed at Miramax. He is no longer a young man who did not know much about the media industry a few years ago, and has his own additions and extensions to plans that have been discussed with Adrian. Originally, there was only one Bosworth film company, but as TBs were acquired, the new line previously acquired by TBs also became a subsidiary of the media, so he came up with the idea of ​​integrating film companies.

"Bothworth is responsible for investing in the more vicious production and production, the new line is responsible for co-production with other companies, and Miramax is producing and operating independent films and art films at a low cost." Crowd was right at the time Drian said.

Adrian had no reason to disagree, and Claude's idea coincided with his original intentions. It was only then that the new line was in charge of co-production, Bosworth was responsible for art and small-cost independent films, and there was another choice for large productions. Prior to this, New Line and Bosworth took turns to produce.

The acquisition of Miramax will not have much impact. As long as the idea of ​​Adrian is successfully realized, Bosworth can only produce films such as investment. In addition, Miramax has five or six film libraries, plus new lines and Bosworth, at least not in terms of number of large companies.

However, there are two issues that need to be resolved. The first is Disney's attitude. With Michael Eisner's arrogance, it will certainly not tolerate media snatching. After all, they have been negotiating for so long.

But Adrian was not too worried. First of all, in the current situation, Miramax is dispensable, and it is not a bad thing to get it. Secondly, both of Weinstein's brothers are It is a character who wants to die, remember that some people once described these two guys as the kind, as long as they have enough money, they can even jump to the bar to jump *.

And the most important thing for the media right now is the capital. When buying TBs because of the good operation and the situation created by Adrian for Claude, it ended up costing only 5.5 billion, while Miramax was worth up to 100 million US dollars. What's more, after discussion, Claude and Adrian both agreed that Miramax's independent management right could be retained, and Michael Eisner, the tyrant who likes to control everything, will not compromise unless forced to do so.

The second problem is that Laverne's status must be reconsidered. If the successful acquisition of Miramax, it will undoubtedly make this established independent film company more suitable for producing arts and small-cost independent movies. The public relations capabilities of the Stan Brothers, coupled with the resources that the media can now provide, are definitely much stronger than La Verne. La Verne can win so many nominations and awards, and Adrian's films have played a lot of roles.

But it's not that Laverne's ability is not enough. People who can't, even if the quality of the movie is not good, can't win anything. It's just that the Weinstein brothers are better. These two guys can win for the quality movie Nominated people.

Even so, La Fern has made great contributions after all. If it were not for him, even with Adrian, Bosworth Films would not have such an exhibition, so it should be covered.

Of course, the premise of all this is the successful acquisition of Miramax ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ so after sighing again "summer is also the season of harvest", Adrian immediately left it behind.

After having lunch in an Italian restaurant, Adrian and Charlize went for a walk nearby. After exchanging the arrangements for the past few days, they returned to the Fitch Club by car. Seeing that it was still a while before the appointed time, Adrian found a room and took a nap, then sat down on the sand in the hall and waited.

Not long after, a young girl and her female agent appeared at the door of the hall under the leadership of Roger. A golden reddish silky drooping face, although the face was somewhat square and freckled, it looked like But it looks beautiful and beautiful; wearing a black and decent dress just above the knee, plus a silk coat of the same color, and wearing double women's pointed leather shoes on the feet, don't have a sense of **** in it.

"Hey, Ed, we finally meet again." The girl came to Adrian in a few steps, and stretched out her hand with a smile, her green eyes flashing with other looks.

"Yeah, I'm so glad to see you again, Gwinnie." Adrian stood up and shook hands with Gwennis Paltrow with the same smile.
