"What are you laughing at, ed?" Don Simpson, standing next to Adrian and talking to Jerry Bruckheimer Ji ā o, first spotted his smile and then looked curiously in the direction of his gaze.
"It's nothing," Adrian turned, his smile still on his face. "I bet Michael Bay was thinking at the moment: look, I'll overtake you sooner or later."
"Want to surpass James? It's not easy, "Simpson looked over and shrugged." Mike is a very talented director, but it's a long way from James. He is too fond of flashy and hot pictures, always trying to make the film look cooler and more powerful, thus neglecting to promote the development of the plot
Admittedly, Simpson talked about Michael Bay's weakness, a problem that continued to hold him back a few years later.
"It's always good for a young man to be aggressive. Even if there are some shortcomings like this, as long as he realizes the nature, he will try to correct it. Didn't Jerry grow up under your guidance?" Adrian said that, although he didn't think Michael Bay would really make adjustments in his heart, who knew that he would follow his memory in the future?
"It's true," Simpson nodded, and then something began to look at him. "Wait, you seem to belong to a young man, ed? It seems that Mike is two years older than you, not to mention Jerry? "
"Why, if you and Jerry are allowed to rely on their old age, I won't be allowed to do so?" Adrian asked jokingly.
"Hey, I didn't say anything." Jerry Bruckheimer, who was somehow involved, raised his hands.
All of a sudden, the three of them laughed together. Adrian glanced at him not far away and then left. After two steps, he thought of something. He turned his head and said, "I believe this will definitely be a blockbuster movie, don, so are you interested in working together again?"
Simpson looked at Adrian Lu's surprised God s è: "what good ideas do you have, ed?"
"Yes, it's a very hot and shocking story. I've already selected the number of producers and directors." Adrian looked at brookheimer and Michael Bay, who was still talking to Cameron ji'o in the distance. The meaning was clear, "even I have three stars. I believe that if we continue to cooperate, it will be a blockbuster film again."
"Can you tell me the general idea?" Simpson was immediately interested.
"Now? Let's wait until the premiere of "Jedi Cops" is over. I've just summed up this idea in a systematic way, so as to better explain to you, "Adrian smiles and turns away." excuse me
Simpson shrugged his shoulders. Although he had some regrets, he didn't care. Adrian said that. Let's wait until he comes up with a specific idea. The young man has proved with many facts that his words are always true.
"Oh, sorry, my boyfriend is here." Before Adrian came to the bar, he found that he had long hair and little NV. The man who was talking to himself came over and took his arm. Lu gave a sweet smile.
Adrian was surprised, but didn't show it on his face. He looked at her with a smile: "am I disturbing you?"
"You never told me that you already have a boyfriend." The man, who seemed to be between 20 and 30 years old and somewhat handsome, was suddenly disappointed and somewhat unwilling to accept the God s è, and completely ignored the existence of Adrian.
"Don't I?" Little NV thought for a moment and then laughed, "I'm sorry, I may have forgotten."
"Why are you here, Liv? I've been looking for you everywhere At this point, Adrian could not understand what was going on, and immediately asked in a friendly tone, and at the same time leaned over her pretty face.
"I think you're having a good conversation and don't want to disturb you, so you're wandering around alone." Liv shrugged.
"I'm sorry, honey, I left you out of the cold. Can you give me a chance to apologize?" Adrian said with a sincere tone, Liv quickly glanced at the man, pretended to think about it, and then gave a playful smile: "OK."
Adrian then took her away and gave the man a polite smile, which he couldn't do, although he was a little arrogant. The other party immediately raised his hands and said something in an abusive manner and left in the opposite direction.
"Is this your date? It's not interesting at all. " Just asked Adrian, with dissatisfaction.
"What's the matter? Is there anything annoying about the premiere of the movie? " Adrian asked.
"No, but like a party, I thought I could see something else." Liv curled her mouth and said, "I've been at parties since I was born, and I've had enough. Can there be anything else in my life other than parties?"
After a pause, she looked around and then said, "of course, I admit that this premiere is different from the party, but I had a birthday party just a few days ago, soLiv made a gesture and didn't speak any more, and her curled mouth didn't come down, which made her playful even more lovely.
"It's a pity that I didn't make it on July 1st, or it would have made the whole party more heated," Adrian said with a smile. "I hope you like my birthday present."
"Not bad, but you're taking the opportunity I've given you, ED," liv said, shaking off his arms and looking at him with her hands akimbo. "I've never said anything since I promised to. I can ignore the two previous dates, but if it's still the case, I'll have to say goodbye to you."
Interesting girl. Looking at the NV child's blue eyes, Adrian's eyes narrowed slightly and then laughed: "well, tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, I'll take you to a beautiful place, and you'll like it."
"Really?" Liv blinked, an unexpected flash of hesitation.
Surprised Adrian was about to say something, Cameron's voice suddenly came over: "Hey, ED, you are here, no wonder I can't find your figure there."
"It looks like you finally got rid of them." Adrian smiles and shakes his hand.
"Fortunately, where did you get such a new director? That's a great idea for special effects Cameron said a lot, and then found liv standing beside Adrian, "this is?"
"There's always a lot of people looking for you, so I won't disturb you, ed. I'm waiting for our date." Liv then made a face and walked away without waiting for Adrian's words.
"Liv Tyler, the NV character in the movie I'm working with Tim Burton." Adrian explains that.
Cameron gave a meaningful Oh, he seemed to want to say something about it, but after looking at Adrian, he asked the original question: "how is it now?"
In addition to the fact that Mr. Cameron didn't get the premiere of North America, the reason why he didn't get the premiere of "North America" was probably because of the fact that he was invited to the premiere of the film.
The Arab American anti discrimination Committee has somewhat affected the box office, but it has not stopped the hit of "true lies". Almost everyone knows that after the third week, the box office in North America will exceed 100 million. But overseas box office, because Arab countries consistent ban may lose part of the film, but as far as the film itself is concerned, it is no problem to recover the cost. Now there is only something to earn more and less, so Cameron can't wait to find Adrian again.
"Very well," Adrian said with a smile, but another topic. "How's the half year, James?"
"Good. What's the matter?" Although Cameron didn't understand why he asked this question, he could not help answering.
"I mean, are there any interesting activities? Like travel or something. " Adrian continued, gesturing.
"Of course, Linda and I went to Hawaii for a holiday at the beginning of last month. We specially went to the deeper diving area. The world under the ocean is so beautiful." Cameron recalled.
"That's not true," Adrian Lu said with a smile. "Deeper, it's dark, there's so little life, there's no beauty, like the place where the biggest ship in the world sank a few decades ago."
"The largest ship in the world at that time?" Cameron was stunned, followed by a bright eye. From ji'ao's talk, he was wondering why Adrian said these words to him, and how could he not react now.
"You want to make a movie about Titanic?" There was excitement in his tone.
"As you know, last weekend, tornado, as a disaster movie, simply dropped" true lies "to the top of the North American box office, so I want to make - or find you to make and direct a disaster movie related to Titanic," Adrian said bluntly. "Of course, it's not a disaster. You can add one A touching love story, such as poor Xi and rich NV. What's more, he made a long pause, caught Cameron's appetite, and then continued: "I personally invested 200 million for shooting. No matter how extravagant you are, you can rent a submarine to the bottom of the sea to observe the wreckage closely. You can also make a super large model ship to shoot. You can even spend three to four years making it Just see a super production of Jingmei that can shock and amaze the whole world - don't tell me, you can't "
" 200 million dollars? Are you sure? " Even a maniac like Cameron could not help but spit after hearing this condition, and his eyes were fixed on Adrian for fear that he would tell him that it was just a joke.
"Yes, 200 million dollars. You can spend it." Adrian spread his hands. "It's not a joke, James. I said I'd do miracles with you, and that's what I said."Then, he added: "of course, it's only $200 million"
although Adrian remembers that the final cost of this unprecedented production was 240 million, he only gave a budget of 200 million. Once Cameron burns up money, let alone $200 million, he will not hesitate to spend it even if it is doubled. Even if Adrian knows what benefits this movie can bring, it does not mean that he can tolerate Cameron's uncontrolled burning of money, which is entirely funded by him.
So Adrian simply put out 200 million funds directly. In this way, no matter how much money Cameron can burn, he has to weigh it down. Even if he finally has the courage to hope for additional investment, his debt will naturally be greater.
Cameron did not hesitate, agreed to come down, how many people in Hollywood have such courage? Can you spend 200 million dollars to make a movie? He would be a fool if he missed it.
Frankly speaking, Adrian didn't want to direct the film by himself. This is the "Titanic" that broke the global box office record and was worshipped by countless people. Even after hundreds of years, it will occupy a place in the film history. However, after thinking about it for a long time, he gave up the plan because he really did not have time to make such a huge movie that would take a lot of effort. Not to mention the difficulties in the shooting, just those details are enough to hurt the head. Adrian can't do as much as Cameron is interested in every detail.
He remembers seeing anecdotes about Cameron's production of "Titanic". When shooting the banquet scenes, he found that the tableware used was not engraved with titanic handwriting. Cameron directly declared that all the previous shots were invalid, until he contacted the British tableware manufacturer to re order the tableware, and then shot it from the beginning. In this way, it was very bad More than one hundred thousand, plus all the previous photos are invalid, so the money is burned.
This is not to say that Adrian can't make it. With Cameron's original version as a reference, and he has already "remade" many films, it doesn't take Cameron one and a half years to prepare and another year and a half to shoot. But even so, he estimated in his mind that even if the model was not built, it would take nearly two years.
This is too long, and takes up most of his own Jing force. Although Adrian doesn't mind giving himself a layer of halo, this is not his main purpose after all. Besides, he has other plans to increase the aura of the director. The impact will not be less than that of Titanic. Therefore, it is better to take charge of this work, which is both honor and pressure, to Cameron, so as to fully show his vision and courage towards people and movies.
They didn't go on talking about it any more. Adrian made such a surprising promise, but the story was only an idea and didn't even have an outline. Although Cameron was surprised and excited by this promise, he also felt the pressure of no Xi ǎ O. naturally, he had to go back to think about how to prepare.
The release of "Jedi warlords" finally relieved the major film companies concerned. Although the number of theaters was similar to that of tornado, the box office of the first week was only about 17 million. Although it was on the North American box office list, it was ranked in the last few places. There was no momentum of "true lies" and "tornado" before. It's no wonder that Si Xiali, an executive of paramount m é ng, complacently tells his assistant that big investment can make a lot of money, so in the end they have to be involved.
However, they forgot that the first week box office of Jedi Warlords was not as good as the previous two films, but the cost was only about 20000 yuan, which was a quarter of that of tornado and one fifth of that of true lies. What's more, the three films that remain on the North American box office list are all produced by Bosworth. Fox and warner are only involved in the investment and distribution.
Adrian just laughs when it comes to Adrian. They have this idea, and that's what he wants. After the media acquired TBS, the major film companies knew that it would be impossible to suppress Bosworth film industry in an all-round way, but they did not give up the plan to make obstacles. After all, Bosworth film industry has been too dazzling in the past three years.
Fortunately, the early establishment of DreamWorks attracted many people's attention as Adrian expected. After financing and having the strength that other new companies did not have, karsenberg was ambitious to build DreamWorks into a company juxtaposed with the seven major film companies, and at the same time extended his reach into many fields, such as film, music, animation, etc.
Some people think that DreamWorks, with Jeffrey carsenberg, Steven Spielberg and David Geffen, will become another new force in Hollywood that can't be looked at. Some people think it's hard to say how far DreamWorks can go. Senior executives of major film companies have also begun to observe how much impact the establishment of DreamWorks will bring to the industry. Naturally, much less attention has been paid to Bosworth.
Now with this mentality, you don't have to worry about it. Besides, AC media still has new lines and Miramax. Even if other companies do have any action, it's not a worry.All in all, it's certain that the three films have sold well. Meanwhile, the popularity of Martin Lawrence and Will Smith, the two black actors in Jedi, has also begun to rise sharply. Unfortunately, the protagonist of tornado is tornado, so even if Kate is very concerned, her popularity is still not as fast as the two bad xi'o.
At Adrian's prompt, the brokerage firm quickly pulled Will Smith over and Martin Lawrence let it go. Lawrence grew up in the middle class rather than in the mainstream of American society. So the former is a lot of trouble, while the latter is more popular. Adrian has prepared a new film for him, a very colorful science fiction film. The agent of the director of this film worked long before the agent company was acquired by AC media.
Before that, of course, Adrian has an appointment to deal with.
