The boundary between work and life has never been so obvious. If a woman's secretary and assistant speak to him like this, it can only show that her heart is in a mess. Unfortunately, Charlize doesn't understand it, but Adrian does.
So after listening to Charlize's words that day, Adrian didn't say anything more, patted her hand silently, and left the amusement park together after she recovered. Not only that, in the next few days, he did not talk to Charlize about anything outside of work, or even deliberately showed a certain distance.
Of course, Adrian has to deal with it skillfully for a while.
Michael Bay changed his position on the sofa outside his office and touched his nose for the third time. He is not as leisurely as the middle-aged man sitting opposite reading the newspaper - he knows the middle-aged man, but the middle-aged man certainly doesn't know him - and at least there are works that he can handle, even if these works are basically completed in cooperation with others. But what about himself? Apart from a few MTVs and ads, and the trophies they won with them, what else?
Thinking of this, he began to become more nervous, and his eyes could not help looking at the office door again. What did the miracle director want to do? Before he knew Adrian Cowell, Michael Bay didn't really admire anyone. Even though he had met many directors and producers through his uncle at the top of the globe, and had a meeting with Spielberg and others, he always had a pride in his heart, believing that his own films would never be inferior to them.
Even if he knew Adrian later, he didn't pay attention to it. He was an independent director who could only shoot low-cost films. But with Adrian appearing again and again in the public view, and constantly causing such controversy, Michael Bay's eyes are gradually attracted to the past.
His original intention has not changed. He still doesn't like those theatrical movies. He still doesn't think that if he makes a movie, he can't be worse than any director. But Adrian's long list of achievements is really dazzling. Within three years of taking charge of the director, Adrian has already had two Oscar nominations for best director. At the same time, he used two films to pave the way for Luciano and Thompson. What's more, he has made money in every film, almost never losing money, including the films he invested in, and the films made based on his own scripts
Michael Bay doesn't need to care about Adrian's naming, but he can't help but care about his earning power. There are also many kinds of fame. For example, every movie is a reputation for being praised for art, or every movie is famous for making a lot of money. For Michael Bay, the latter is obviously more attractive to him. Adrian's ability to make money is needless to say. The most surprising thing is that he has never touched anything related to film making before, which is described in detail in the reports about him, and he admits it.
Since the founding of Hollywood, no director has been able to do so. Besides genius, I'm afraid there is no better word to describe him. No wonder the media now call him miracle director. Michael Bay, who is well-informed, knows more. For example, Adrian is not only the boss of Bosworth film, but also the chairman of AC media, which was not established for a long time.
if he can make so many achievements in less than three years, what kind of person can be regarded as a successful person? As the old saying goes, if the other person's ability is only a little higher than you, you may envy him; but if the other person's ability is too much than you, you can only look up to him.
So Michael Bay will sit here worrying about his gains and losses. He doesn't understand what Adrian is asking through his uncle to direct the film? There are so many people to choose from, right? Besides, they haven't even met. So what would it be? It's said that he has a record company, isn't it
Just as he was thinking, the Secretary opened the door of the office and came out: "Mr. Michael Bay, Mr. Jerry brookheimer, Mr. Adrian, please come in."
She's beautiful. What's her name? Charlize Theron, that's the name. Looking at the beautiful girl, Michael Bay can't help whistling in his heart. Then he is stunned and goes in together?
The middle-aged man sitting opposite him showed the same expression, but after a few seconds, he responded. After a friendly smile to Michael, he got up first and walked to the office.
Michael immediately got up and followed him. His mind was now all over the things to come, and he had no time to think about anything else, and his worries about gains and losses had been forgotten.
This is a simple office, not too much furniture, but the layout is very comfortable, all appliances are placed quite neatly, as if to interpret the word "order". At this time, the young man sitting in front of the desk was holding the phone with a slight frown. He was wearing a white shirt but not a tie. His collar was untied, and his coat was hung on the coat rack. It was serious and uninhibited at the same time."Sit down, please." Adrian, who was behind his desk, saw them come in, quickly explained to the microphone, then got up and put out his hand: "nice to meet you, Mr. Bay, Mr. Bruckheimer."
"Nice to meet you, too, Mr. Cowell." The two men who had just touched the chair stood up again.
"Please sit down. Don't be so restrained. Please call me Adrian or ed. I'm not the FBI or CIA, nor the tax bureau. I'm not asking you to help with the investigation." Adrian joked.
A few witticisms immediately relaxed, and Adrian pressed the phone's contact button: "Hey, Charlie, just a little more trouble for you, please send us three cups..."
He stopped suddenly and looked at the two men in front of him.
"Coffee." Michael Bay and Bruckheimer agreed, then accidentally looked at each other's eyes, and then added in unison: "whatever the taste."
Adrian couldn't help laughing. "OK, Charlie. Three lattes. Thank you."
Then he looked at the two people with a smile: "it's worthy of me to choose a partner, and I haven't started to have such a tacit understanding."
In the face of Michael and brookheimer's puzzled and clear eyes, he handed two bound scripts from his desk to them: "take a few minutes to read the script."
Michael and Bruckheimer looked at each other and simply took the script and read it.
Unlike brookheimer, who flipped through it roughly once and then read it again, Michael read every page carefully and deeply, even though Charlotte delivered the coffee. First, he wanted to know as much as possible what kind of story it was; second, he could take the opportunity to calm down his excitement. Adrian's words are very famous. It took him about 20 minutes to find him to direct the film
before Michael finished reading the script. He had planned to spend a longer time reading it more carefully, but brookheimer had finished reading it and was waiting for him to drink coffee, so the last third had to finish reading the script. Rao is so, he is still excited, this is a good story, hot blood at the same time humorous and interesting, he can almost in his head to outline some very dynamic pictures.
"It's a good play Adrian. " Michael thought about it, but decided to call each other's full name.
"Thank you. Jerry said the same thing. I knew you would be a good partner." Adrian laughed. "So, since your opinions are so unanimous, would you like to be the producer and director of this film?"
The two men in front of him looked at each other again, then looked up and down again. Finally, brookheimer said, "I can see why I chose me Are we, ed? "
"It's a purely commercial film, and I need a producer with more relevant experience in this field, so don recommended you to me. He said that you are his best partner and you have been working very well together." Adrian said with a smile, "I believe what he says."
Then he looked at Michael: "as for Michael, although you don't have the experience of directing a film, I've seen all your MTV and advertisements. It's very dynamic and powerful, and that's what this movie needs. It doesn't care about anything else. It just needs to make the audience moved, interesting and cool. "
Adrian suddenly laughed again, with a little apology: "of course, there is another reason that the budget of this film is only about 20 million at most, and most of it will be spent on special effects, so there is not much money to invite famous directors."
"It doesn't matter." Michael shrugged, nothing else. Adrian was telling the truth. He was a new man in directing the film.
"But I believe Mike will do well, just as I believe Jerry will do well," Adrian looked at Michael and then at brookheimer. "I don't think it's a bad thing to work with new directors. They may be more energetic and imaginative than some famous directors, and their films will be more attractive - in fact, my own I was a new director. "
Brookheimerton, still thinking, laughed. "I agree. I agree."
"Very good." Adrian said, looking at Michael.
"I have no problem." Michael said quickly, in any case, this is an opportunity, he has no reason to let go.
"Very well, gentlemen, the rest is to discuss the signing of the contract and the preparation of the film," Adrian clapped his hands. "Actors, I'm ready for you. The two black actors who have just moved from TV series to movies are excellent. I believe you can cooperate happily."
"No problem. You're the boss." Brookheimer shrugged his acceptance, but Michael suddenly asked, "is it because of the budget?"
"Well..." Adrian thought about it, then spread out his hands, "that's right."
