"Feeling? Let me think It's not bad. I'm a fan of Al's movies. I think his Tango Dance and his final reprimand are really wonderful. "On the TV, a young man in a baseball cap said excitedly into the camera.

"Thank you. Thank you for your answer." After getting the answer, the reporter made a gesture to the photographer, and the camera immediately turned from the guy who still wanted to show his face on the screen to another young black man who came out of the cinema with his girlfriend.

"Hello, may I have your names?" The reporter took the lead in asking.

"Well My name is woody Andrews and this is my girlfriend MIA Harrison Black youth seems a little shy, but her girlfriend is very lively to say hello to the reporter: "hello."

"Did you just watch the movie" smell the fragrance and know the woman " "Can you tell me what you think of the film?" the reporter continued? Why would you take your girlfriend to see this movie? "

"Great movies, especially when Al is Tango dancing, are really fascinating." The black girl named MIA answered first, while the black youth thought carefully: "a very exciting movie, especially al's speech in the auditorium, aroused my resonance. At that time, I and the people around me could not help clapping. I had a similar experience in high school, and fortunately I made the same choice as Charlie. And the reason why I came to see this film with MIA was because I was able to make an appointment with her, which had something to do with it

"That sounds great. Thank you for your response." The reporter gave them a thumbs up, then put the microphone to his mouth and looked at the camera: "OK, George, now I have a good news and a bad news to report to you. The good news is that 80% of the audience who participated in the response thought that the film" smell the fragrance and know the woman "was excellent; the bad news was that after so long investigation, I was tired and wanted to rest To get Billy back to the studio. "

"Thank you, Todd, thank you for your on-the-spot investigation." with the voice of the host, the TV picture returned to the studio, and the host with the news was smiling. "Obviously, everyone likes this movie from the bottom of their hearts. As a director and producer, Adrian Xiangxin should be very proud. After all, for a long time, this film has been refrigerated by him He must have spent a lot of time on it. Well, that's all for today. We'll see you next time. "

Claude put the remote control on the coffee table and looked at Adrian sitting on the other side. "Are you proud now, director wizard?"

"Of course, why not?" Adrian shrugged, of course, and said, "but it's not the best time. I'll surprise more people when Howard hall comes out next month."

"Still so confident." Claude said with a smile. He got up and poured himself a whisky. Then he turned to Adrian and said, "you've surprised a lot of people now - do you want a drink?"

"No, not for the time being." Adrian, who looked at the papers on the coffee table again, shook his head.

"Well, have a drink. It's a celebration." Claude poured another glass in front of him.

"Congratulations?" Adrian looked up in surprise.

"Yes, congratulations on your first movie with a box office of over 100 million in North America." Claude raised his glass with a smile.

Adrian picked his eyebrows, and then the cup laughed: "that's right."

Although the box office of "vulgar novel" has not been warm, it has been quite long-lasting. It has always kept the box office of two or three million a week. It even got a little hot during the Halloween holiday, and returned to the top 10 box office list of North America with 2.6 million box office. So, after 22 weeks of release, the film finally earned more than $100 million in North America. Because of the long-term screening, the proportion of theaters was much higher at this time. However, compared with the investment of nearly 10 million yuan for the whole film, there was no loss. In addition, in the face of offline and the coming of the film season, "vulgar novel" still maintains a weekly weekend box office of one or two million, which must be said to be a miracle.

"After two months, you can get the box office awards or the palms, but you can not win the awards in Cannes or at the box office There was a touch of emotion in Claude's voice.

"That's just a bonus," Adrian said. "For Americans, Oscar is the most important thing. Palmetto The directors and actors will think about European festivals unless they have nothing to gain from the Oscars and are eager to recover the declining popularity. But if they want to go further, they will have to go back to Hollywood. "

"It's amazing that you, who attended all three major European film festivals once, have such a view of them." Said Claude jokingly.

"It turns out that it's a paradise for small budget movies. Films are made in the name of 'art' and they never care about the views of the audience - the majority of the audience. If it's not balanced, it's sooner or later it's going to decline. "Adrian's eyebrows wrinkled slightly, as if thinking of something."Well, let's not say that. As long as Howard manor is released smoothly and meets the expectations, I will have achieved more than half of my goal this year." He then waved his hand.

"Oscar?" Claude picked his eyebrows.

"That's right, Oscar." Adrian smiles and makes a gesture. "I told you that."

"I have to sigh again, ED," Claude sipped his whisky. "You've got more ideas coming out of your head than you've put together in the last 20 years. As far as I know, filmmakers have been writing scripts based on your ideas in the past few months, which seems to be not what you told me."

"They're there, but they're coming out now," Adrian pointed to his head. "I used to focus on something else."

"Well, let's just say that," Claude didn't get involved in the topic. "Let's start with the film company. Frankly speaking, the novel is coming ~ wapoo. I think there are a little more films invested and to be invested in at present."

"Is that your opinion, or is it?" Adrian looked at him and made a gesture.

Claude was a little stunned, and then he laughed: "why, Laffer said the same thing to you? Oh, of course, he's a great CEO, and it's not surprising that he'll share my views. Although I don't know much about making movies, I understand the market and the risks. Think about it, ED, if... "

"All right, crow." Adrian held out his hand for the first time to stop him. After making a few gestures and considering it, he sighed: "I know that I can't convince you on this, but I want to ask, how many of the investments or films I agree to make have not made any profit?"

"No Claude just thought about it and gave the answer.

Adrian didn't speak any more, just spread out his hands and looked at him.

"Can you guarantee that it will be the same in the future?" Claude raised his eyebrows and asked, "for example, that Schindler's list."

"That's not necessarily true, and I told you that Schindler's list can give us more than just money." Adrian then retorted.

"But what you just said was economic benefits." Claude shook his fingers and laughed.

Adrian looked at it and said, "he can't do it 80 percent. On this, I believe that my vision is much more accurate than you, because you need to take the overall picture. What's more, we all know that it's very difficult for a film company to expand without the support of a huge and excellent film library. "

It's true that the big seven companies are firmly on the top of Hollywood's giants, and they have a huge film library. That's why Adrian wants to take all the great movies of the 1990s into his pocket.

"Besides, didn't you complain about excessive liquidity? Invest in movies. " He went on.

"Well, well, you're always right." Claude gave up arguing with him.

Adrian grinned and let go of the topic and turned to another one: "when it comes to liquidity, how about buying another film company? Acquisition of a bigger film company than Bosworth. Let me see, Miramax? Or the new line? "

"I want to ask why you suddenly want to buy a new film company?" Claude asked.

"Because of distribution," Adrian raised his hands. "If there are two film companies in hand, a lot of low-cost films can be released by one company after being produced, just like big companies, which will transfer profits from left hand to right hand, and it will also help to establish our own distribution channels."

"Well, that's a good reason, but ed, if you buy another film company, are you going to focus on Bosworth or the new one?" Claude warned.

Adrian was stunned when he settled down, frowned and didn't say any more. After a few seconds of pause, Claude said again: "by the way, the two film companies you mentioned are negotiating with Disney and TBS respectively. According to the intelligence, they are likely to acquire them respectively."

"You mean..." Adrian's eyes lit up.

"According to the previous contact, ABC has negotiated with many companies, and Dinis is the most interested in them, so I prefer to buy Lloyd. I explained a little bit.

"That sounds good, too." Adrian, who understood his meaning, nodded, but vaguely felt that there was something inconsistent with his memory, which was hard to remember for a moment.
