Chapter Ten

"When he greets you, you must be very confused, but not too obvious, like ... the first time I came to this country. (! Www.dukank)" In the studio, Kiyomizu Kiyoshi is giving "Curse 2" The heroine explained the drama, still a beard full of faces. The translator stood by to supplement and explain in the case of poor communication. Although a work has been released worldwide, Shimizu's English has not improved much.

"Can I understand it as a doubt and at the same time be on guard?" Asked a big, dark brownish-black wave, looking slightly melancholic, Jennifer Love, Hewitt, standing next to the house that was adjusted in the movie. The photographer who was killed by Gamma Coconut, of course, has nothing to do with Edison Chen, but the popular Japanese drama actor Takamachi Takahashi, and I don't know who recommended it.

Adrian's gaze stayed on Takamachi Takahashi for a while before moving away, and the corners of his eyes were slightly raised, looking a little weird, but disappeared after moving to Love.

"How are you working together?" Adrian asked Yuji Hui by his side.

"Not bad, Jane is a very clever girl." Yu Jihui replied with an eyebrow and did not care about the eyes of others. In fact, most of the crew knew her relationship with Adrian.

Adrian opened his mouth and wanted to say something about it, but after thinking for a few seconds, she looked at Love again. She always focused on the director and didn't look at him, so she gave up the plan. . Although Love has always been Sarah's "little follower" and Adrian has played with her several times, she has always been an obedient one.

Adrian, who knows women, knows that at least one-third of them are outfits, but what about that? The benefits are enough, if she is really a smart person-in fact Love has proven it-she should know what she can do. Besides, in the past year or so, Sarah hasn't taken care of those things with her anymore. The "little follower" has long lost its name, so you don't have to worry about Yuji Hui getting along with Love.

More importantly, Yu Jihui didn't have a lot of roles in "The Grudge 2". If Shimizu's hands and feet are fast enough, Adrian can bring her with her when she returns to Los Angeles.

"I must find a way, Mr. Adrian." When Adrian asked, Shimizu replied, and bowed.

As one of the few directors with international influence in Japan, after the release of "The Grudge", Shimizu Takahashi, a newcomer director, immediately jumped several levels, and may even be on top of his teacher Hideo Nakata, who made "Midnight Fierce" Was Adrian taken away from the film adaptation right? However, Shimizu is still respectful to Hideo Nakata.

I do n’t know if it ’s good or bad for him to have no ban on broadcasting. In my memory, the earliest Japanese version rumored that someone was scared to death less than two days after it was released, so it stopped broadcasting immediately, and there was no need to think about it at the box office. . Although there were similar rumors when this version was released in Japan, it was immediately clarified that Adrian will not allow things that affect the box office, and the Japanese film market has always been a dumping ground for Hollywood.

In this way, Shimizu Chong's legend will inevitably go down a lot. After all, not every director has a title such as "Fear of Death", even if the title is not easy to verify.

After thinking about it for a while, Adrian immediately dropped it. This is Shimizu's business and has nothing to do with himself. Even his attitude was not taken seriously, and he didn't need to be too polite to the Japanese.

As for the animation, the progress is very smooth. The Japanese's 2d animation is indeed very good. However, although Miyazaki's popularity is the highest, Japan is not the only Ghibli animation studio. This time, they contacted to produce the "Matrix" animation. Several edition studios are well-known in the animation circle around the world.

Needless to say, Tokyo, 4 degrees Celsius Studio, they are involved in the original production. In addition, this studio produced a movie version of "Pokemon", which was released in North America last year, and also achieved a good box office. At first, the media obtained the distribution rights of "Pokemon" in North America. Naturally, the movie version was also released by their film company. In addition to making a lot of money, they also took the opportunity to launch the theme song of the movie version of "Pokemon". A new female singer: Jessica Simpson.

That's right, that Jessica Simpson, who almost became a member like Britney and Christina, but was eventually eliminated. It was easy to see it by a small music company. Before the record that had been spent three years recording was released, the company closed down. She should have signed a contract with Sony Records, but M Records has a sudden rise. In addition, it has always been known to like to sign young singers, and has continuously launched outstanding girl singers. So she was signed by M early last year, and then trained for a period of time. The opportunity to sing the theme song of "Pokemon", and thus became famous.

At this time, Adrian knew that his record company had signed Jessica Simpson, but his first reaction was, why are there as many girls in the United States as Jessica and Kate in Britain?

Well, this is a digression. Back to the animated version of The Matrix, in addition to those mentioned above, the de studio owned by Aihui also participated in the production. As one of the pillar industries in Japan, the major Japanese companies are involved in some animation production, and Aihui is no exception. Since the media is a member of Aihui's board of directors, what's the problem with their participation? Besides, the technology of de studio is also very good, not worse than these old studios at 4 degrees Celsius.

Although most of the animation studios involved in the production are Japanese, not all of them are in the United States, and the hanna-barbera studio of tbs under the media is also a member. It was the studio that was founded by William Hanna and Nasserphine Barbara and produced animations such as "Cat and Mouse" and "Scooby Doo." When TBS "robbed" MGM by the way, The home studio also acquired it, so now it has become a media industry.

Although the media mainly uses Pixar's 3D on animated films, it is basically 2D animations that are broadcast on TV stations, so 2D animations have not been pulled down, except for the North American distribution rights for Pokemon from Nintendo. , Also sold the copyright of a series of animations such as "Spongebaby" and "South Park"-the former is very popular with children, and the latter is very popular with adults. The hanna-barbera studio has also grown a lot because of this, and the "Girls in the Sky" produced more than two years ago has a good rating.

"I'm very satisfied, guys, I hope to keep it." Adrian said to several leaders after learning the situation in detail.

It can be regarded as a top-level animation studio, and the atmosphere of competition is also good, and it began to operate as early as the second half of last year, so the first part of "Renaissance of Machines" has been completed by one third. If you keep the progress , Can be played at the end of the year or early next year. Of course, Adrian didn't plan to use too many tricks, so all the Buddha statues at the beginning of the original were canceled. Frequently playing tricks will only make the story worse.

He was very satisfied with the outstanding performance of several major studios, and there was nothing to say. After a comprehensive understanding, he encouraged a few sentences to end this matter.

The two main things are like this, as for another temporary problem that was clogged by Claude ...

"Mr. Adrian, I am Matsushima Nanako." A woman with an indescribable gentleness bowed deeply to Adrian sitting on the sofa, and her simple dress made her kind of family Housewife taste.

Yuji Hui, kneeling on the carpet and cutting an apple, couldn't help but raised her head and glanced at the other person. Although Nanako looked calm, the cowardly look of helplessness in the brows was not vague.

Originally ... probably the same, right? Suddenly she had such a thought in her heart.

"Yuki-hye." Adrian called her at this moment, and Yu-hye immediately put down her knife, wiped her hands with a paper towel, and quit before leaving the hotel suite. When the door was closed, she saw Nanako sitting down and admiringly next to Adrian, and Adrian raised her chin politely, and she sighed softly.

"Is there any problem? Now that Ed has said that Matsushima Nanako is good, those guys must send her over to eat him." Ayumi Hamasaki, who asked her out, said indifferently while drinking at the bar.

"But ..." Yu Jihui seemed hesitant to think about anything.

"What's wrong, Yukie, this is the society, especially in Japan, women are still often just accessories," Hamasaki shrugged. "Look, I'm now the most popular singer in Japan. And, Aihui Records can almost sit on an equal footing with those producers, but how much bitterness is there and how much effort do I have and how many people know? And still ca n’t lack the support of Ed. I did n’t mean to mention it Those things, Yukie, but to be honest, if you were not brought to the United States by Ed, even if you have such achievements, things like Matsushima Nanako will still fall on you. "

"I didn't mean to say this, Ayu ..." Yuji Hui wasn't angry, and Hamasaki privately talked to his friends like this, and it was very direct. Although the maverick side is mostly packaged, it also needs that foundation to be packed, right? Not to mention Ayumi Hamasaki and Yukie still beat Adrian in bed together.

I mean ... you know, Mr. Anti-Cho is filming "Cheat 2", and Ms. Matsushima seems to be dating him. Is it too much for Ed to do this? "She said anxiously.

"In fact, this further proves my point of view, let ’s not say whether the date they are dating is a fact, even if it is a fact? It is not a matter of a big man's word, and Ed's big satyr has always been fancy and will not let go Yes, so do n’t think about that much. ”Hamasaki shook his head, then smiled and reached Yuki Hye ’s ear:“ If you are really worried, I have a few friends in the circle, maybe you can put Are they introduced to Ed? "

"You don't drink much, why do you always say something drunk?" Yu Jihui was slightly embarrassed, his head turned aside.

Well, she is indeed a bit worried. Although Adrian has a lot of women around her, and there is no shortage of Asians, Lin Xilei also made a special trip to Tokyo a few days ago, but Yu Jihui is always unique. Naturally, she does not want this uniqueness to be broken. Although she is docile and lively in general, she is not foolish at all.

However, if Yukie knows the real reason for Adrian's interest in Matsushima Nanako, she might not think so.

Since arriving in Tokyo, Adrian has been in constant contact with people from Sony. Although Sony Records is only a part of the entire group, it is almost squeezed out by Ai Hui in Japan. It is relatively easy to collect relevant information. And here is the Japanese territory. He is here alone. If they have any ideas, now is a good time.

Just a few days later, although various cocktail parties attended a lot, but no progress, Sony has always respected him respectfully, as if what happened in the United States has nothing to do with them. This is also related to the lack of information. The trend of Sony Records is still not very clear, so Adrian simply took the initiative to find a breakthrough and told the cadres that Sony sent to accompany him at the reception that Matsushima Nanako looked very good.

In fact, he had many choices, such as Sakai, but she got married the year before and is probably about to be played by Gao Xiangyou, and Japan ’s three major Japanese drama queens, Takako Tokiwa, from the mid-1990s to the mid-210s Already played, Yukaka Nakama was taken to the United States by him, just to taste the current popular Matsushima Nanako. In fact, he had this idea long before that, otherwise he wouldn't have felt weird when seeing the anti-machi Takashi on the set of "The Grudge 2".

Needless to say, Nanako took the initiative to come to the door that night, and her low-brow look was very appetizing for Adrian, and she naturally accepted her politely. It just happened to him again. Although he pretended to be unintentional in front of Nanako, but Nanako didn't move at all, and there was no response from Sony.

Could it be said that the Japanese like to use women as spies only exists in novels? Adrian thought depressively. Could it be said that the original layout itself had problems, and the entire Sony Group may not care, but it is impossible for Sony Records to react at all?

As a result, the poor Nanako was about to bear his dissatisfaction.

"Reverse ... Fanmachi Jun ... I'm sorry, I can't come over recently ... because ... something ..." Matsushima Nanako kept her tone with the utmost strength, the fine sweat beads on the tip of the nose and some loose eyes showed The woman was almost at the limit, "Sorry, this is ... the company's business, I can't say ... yes, I'm doing a massage, and I'm going to go elsewhere ..."

Finally, when the call was over, the mobile phone snapped to the ground. A simple dish like Ninako dressed up in "Spicy Teacher" snapped the hand holding the mobile phone on the floor glass of the suite, and then screamed wildly. Swinging her **** so that the people behind can shock more fiercely, and her smile seemed to have collapsed.

No wonder, in the past few days, Matsushima Nanako was thoroughly played with by Adrian, and the role play of "Spicy Teacher" will not be said, and Ai Hui became a popular singer Ayumi Hamasaki and Hollywood's best Japanese actor Yukaka Nakama Ji Hui's 4p didn't say anything, she even found a room on the set of "Cudgel 2" and let her watch the outside filming from the crack of the door to bear the violation.

However, although Adrian was not polite to her, she did not really ruin her. After all, it was not easy to train a popular Japanese drama queen. When she left, she also opened a $ 3 million check.

As for Sony ...

"Then there is only one explanation. The whole Sony has adopted a default attitude towards Sony Records. It neither supports nor opposes. After all, although we are young and develop rapidly, at the same time, we are also very stable. Problem, so there is no need to engage in a full confrontation with us. "Adrian discussed with Claude on the phone before boarding the plane." Of course, this is based on the situation that Sony Records will act. "

"Well, then we adjust the plan and wait and see how it changes. Obviously, Disney is just here to disrupt the situation. If Warner announced the acquisition of Universal Music, it may need to be taken seriously, but now I think they are likely to just want to pass the pull The high share price made our acquisition aborted. "Crowder said later," But the problem is that even if they estimate the liquidity we may hold, even if I and you do n’t add additional capital, just financing is enough. With Universal Music, why are they doing this? "

After all, the success of the acquisition is still a matter of capital. If there is an unlimited amount of funds, no matter how far the other party raises the stock price, it can be eaten in one go ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ So the reaction of the opponents is very lethal People are puzzled.

They discussed it several times and got no results. In the end, they had to decide not to move their troops and not to add additional capital for the time being. Let ’s talk with them for a while and say that it is a common thing to spend one or two months on an acquisition. No matter what the opponent's plan is, sooner or later it will be revealed.

So, after Adrian returned to Los Angeles, he began to make the final preparations for "Bone in Winter". The studio in Missouri is ready, as long as the actors in the roles of the little boy and the little daughter are identified Then you can boot.

"You did a good job, Parker, and I'll start overseeing the final audition right away." Adrian flipped through the form of the small actor and told the casting director that he was very happy with their work.

"Wait, this is it?" He suddenly turned over to a little girl's form and asked.

"Oh, she is from Georgia. The family just moved to Los Angeles. Although she has no acting experience and is still blonde and blue-eyed, she is very aura. I think you deserve to see her performance in person," Parker explained.

"I will." Adrian nodded, holding his chin and staring at the form.
