OK, this is just a joke. Since Adrian wants to cooperate with globegroup, how can they lose money? Otherwise, it will be a heavy blow to the image he is now running. The reason why the box office of "Shawshank Redemption" in my memory is less than 30 million is naturally related to Forrest Gump, which was released in the same year. Otherwise, how could Shawshank Redemption be listed as one of the most tragic movies in film history?
Of course, this has a lot to do with the fact that the producers will not publicize it. Because of the lack of resources and the lack of focus, they failed to get too much praise during the public screening, which affected the box office. Fortunately, after winning several Oscar nominations and getting nothing, it was favored by Colombia. After its operation, it achieved unprecedented success in the video tape market. For a long time, the film occupied the top of the video rental store list.
Now, Adrian can make a perfect copy of the film. He has a general manager who is very good at promoting the film. In addition, there is universal participating in it. If the result is the same as that in his memory, he should not do this.
Then again, does that movie have to go around the world? Alone in the corner, Adrian suddenly thought of the purpose of coming to the party today. According to the data that he can easily recall, the budget seems to be between 50 million and 60 million. Adrian can fully take out the fund now, or the company, Claude and his own private one-third. Since this big cake can be eaten, there is no need to share it.
But Adrian shook his head again. Eating alone is not a common practice. In this era, sharing and win-win are the right way to do it. Besides, the reason why he chose to develop relations with globegroup is that in the future, the conflict with globegroup will be minimal.
Then again, he still has a lot of scripts that can make money. If it's too big, it's too tempting to make up for it Adrian suddenly burst into laughter, and had not talked with the parties properly. How could he begin to think about the following things? Did you think that these things must be carried out according to his own ideas? Confidence is a good thing, but if you overdo it, you will become complacent, so let it go first.
Adrian, who made up his mind, adjusted his clothes and was about to find a place to sit for a while. After glancing at the hall, Adrian was stunned. The man he was waiting for was chatting with several people by the first window.
"Yes, she's an angel. Although there are not many cameras, she can't learn that kind of elegant and noble appearance." Stroking his chin beard, Steven Spielberg recalled telling people around him that despite his suit, his trademark round glasses and beard had not changed.
"I'm sorry to disturb you. Do you mean lady Audrey Hepburn, Mr. Spielberg?" A voice suddenly inserted in, a bit magnetic, a little low, but very good to hear.
"Are you?" Spielberg looked at the young man in front of him.
"Adrian Cowell." The young man introduced himself, "nice to meet you here, Mr. Spielberg. I grew up watching ET and jaws."
"I'm glad to see you here, young man," Spielberg said with a smile. After repeating Adrian's name several times, his eyebrows raised: "it's the ghost director."
"I'm flattered," Adrian shrugged. "I just had some different ideas that I expressed through the movie."
"Don't be so modest, young man," Spielberg chuckled. "I've seen your memory fragments. The ideas and editing are really wonderful. You're a man of ideas."
"It's a great honor to have your compliment, Mr. Spielberg - well, Steven, please call me ed - in fact, sometimes I prefer to shoot childish works like you do."
"There's something you can't do, ED, as long as you know what you want to shoot."
Through the film this common topic, all the old and young talked about it, from the movie Spielberg and Audrey cooperated just now, to Adrian's memory fragment, which has not yet been released. In the grasp of a lot of information Adrian does not trace the catering, the two people talk quite opportunistic.
"Yes, I admit that the film was affected by my parents' failure in marriage, and the feeling of loneliness was not good. And There was also the effect of my marriage failure, especially in the last few months... " As he said that, Spielberg could not help but sigh. Being able to say this to Adrian, though only unintentionally, meant that he made a pretty good impression on him.
"This seems to be Madame Audrey's last film?" Adrian did not continue this topic. "I really want to go back to the 1950s and see her with my own eyes."
Spielberg burst out laughing: "every man probably thinks so. She is really outstanding and attractive. No matter what period, she has an indescribable quality that makes people fascinated."
At this time, he suddenly thought of something, looked at the time, and then apologetically opened his hand to Adrian: "sorry, ED, I have to leave, I have other things, I am happy to chat with you.""Me too, Steven." Adrian nodded, and before Spielberg stepped forward, he made a sudden impression and said, "by the way, Steven, I don't know if you're interested in a movie."
"A movie?" The eyes behind the oblate lens narrowed slightly, and the film director's Spielberg instantly became a businessman Spielberg. Some people said that this big director was a director when he picked up the camera and a businessman when he put down the camera. Adrian agreed with this evaluation.
"Yes, it's a science fiction film, very imaginative." Adrian's eyes didn't blink.
Spielberg thought about it and took his business card out of his coat pocket and handed it to Adrian. "So, when I call my assistant on Monday, he'll arrange a meeting for you."
"Thank you." Adrian took it and watched Spielberg disappear at the door of the hall.
"That's why you asked to work with global?" Lafayette didn't know when he was behind him.
"Yes, he is one of the few people who can control that science fiction movie, let alone..." Adrian watched as his general manager didn't go on. He knew Lafayette understood what he meant.
It's just You seem to be a little bit impatient? Adrian smashed his mouth and looked at the card in his hand. Well, no matter how much, there is still a trump card in his hand. I believe that persuading Spielberg should not be a problem.
"I'm leaving first, laver." Adrian said hello to Lafayette and went to the gate. His purpose had been achieved and there was no need to stay here.
Walking to the elevator, Adrian pressed the button and began to wait. A few minutes later, the elevator came, and as he went in and pressed the floor of the lobby, a quick voice came through: "wait a minute!"
A big hand blocked the closing door of the elevator, and a white man stormed in. He looked between 35 and 45, with a beard and a frown, looking rather rough.
Another white man then rushed in: "don't be so impulsive, James. It's really rude of you to do this."
There was a wry smile on his face. It was obvious that the first man had caused him a lot of trouble just now.
"I've been very restrained, Wendell. I can't stay in it any longer," the man, who called James, waved his fist in great exasperation. "Listen to what they're saying. It's just unbearable!"
"Oh, hell, why don't you think about what you're asking for!" Wendell gripping his hair painfully, "the investment has accumulated to 100 million dollars, James! How many films have invested $100 million?! You've already set a Hollywood record, and it's time to be content
"You should have seen the footage I made specially, didn't you? That picture of the T-1000 coming out of the fire, "James said excitedly," you think that's shocking, right? You think that's wonderful, right?! But, I can tell you, Wendell, as long as there is another 10 million investment, I will make the whole film more shocking and exciting
Wendell grinned bitterly and shook his head. "No one will invest again, James. You should know what a total investment of 100 million dollars means. No one will take the risk."
James was silent. In fact, he knew this, but he didn't want to accept it.
"Well, James, just make good use of the remaining two weeks. Even if it doesn't reach the perfection in your mind, I believe Terminator 2 will still be a wonderful movie."
"I know, Wendell, I'm just a little reluctant." James covered his forehead and sighed.
At this time, another voice sounded in the elevator: "if it's only 10 million dollars, I may be able to invest."
Two people were stupefied, and then they realized that there were others in the elevator. Although a little embarrassed, James also coughed and looked at each other: "sorry, because we were a little excited about what happened before, so we didn't pay attention to it. Are you?"
"Adrian Cowell," said the young man in the corner, holding out his hand with a faint smile. "Nice to meet you, Mr. James Cameron."
"Do you know me?" James, who shook hands with him, raised his eyebrows.
"If Terminator 2 is not directed by James Cameron, then there is no need to make it." Adrian smiles. "Frankly, I've been waiting for the sequel for seven years."
James couldn't help laughing, and then he thought of something: "Adrian Cowell? You're the ghost director. "
"I'm flattered. I just have some ideas in the movie." Adrian remained calm.
"That's great. Most directors just follow the established procedures step by step." James disdainfully waved his hand, followed by eagerly looking at him: "you just said you can add investment, right?"
