A few days later, Adrian returned to Los Angeles again. Although Kubrick did not send any definite news, it was basically tacit. Naturally, it was the beginning of a long-term publicity work.
Warner's action was very fast. By the end of January, the book had passed the review and was rated R, as expected. To tell you the truth, with the grand party in the middle, if Bosworth or Miramax or new line were sent to the rating, it would be rated as NC-17, maybe even grade. In that case, it could only be shown in several designated cinemas, which would greatly affect the reputation and box office.
But who gives Warner, one of the big seven film companies, a seat? Although the U ā did a lot of Kung Fu, it was finally set at R level. That's why Adrian has always insisted on trying to get the overseas issuance right. Only with the overseas issuance right can he be qualified to enter and fight for his own interests. This is not an easy thing. DreamWorks has not been able to enter for several years, but now he has a better plan. As long as the funds are in place this year, it should not be a problem.
Soon, the advance trailer of "eye opener" began to broadcast, and all kinds of advertising began to land in the major media. All of a sudden, the entertainment industry, which gradually began to recover after Christmas and new year, was thrown into a blockbuster.
As early as it was reported that miracle director might take over the new work of legendary director, Lu had great interest in it and tried to find some valuable news from it. When Adrian was shooting on location in New York, many reporters tried to enter the studio, and took a few fuzzy pictures from a distance. However, Adrian was very strict at the beginning and warned everyone that if someone leaked information to the outside world, he would not only be expelled but also be prosecuted. Therefore, the specific shooting situation of the film has never been known, and can only be speculated according to the original novel.
In this way, the media's attention has dropped a lot without new news. However, this does not mean that they have really given up the search for eye opener. Since Warner officially began to publicize it, all kinds of comments have sprung up after a rain to know one or two. In particular, after the news that Kubrick had asked that if Adrian's film did not meet his requirements, then the film should not be released through any channel, the media were more excited, which means that it is self-evident.
"If the rumor is true, it means that Adrian's" eye opener "is the same as that directed by Kubrick. After all, everyone knows how hard Kubrick treats his works." A reporter from Seattle wrote in the article.
"From the perspective of Kubrick's consistent style, it is possible, but I don't think Adrian can have Kubrick's level of director, even though he has good works." Some people have said so.
"It's more likely that Warner and Adrian want to use this approach to create a reality that will make Kubrick succumb. After all, publicity and distribution are two different things. Even if there is a contract, it is not very difficult to find the leakage. Neither Warner nor Adrian can give up this opportunity to earn word-of-mouth
Some of Kubrick's die hard movie Mi even said that he would never go to see it after the movie was released: "he can't make a movie of the style of ex librik"
even in a talk show about "Mr. sweetheart" that hit the Oscars, he was told about Adrian's "eye opener.".
"There's no denying that he's a director who plays è, and he's quite insightful. In fact, he recommended the role of è in Mr. sweetheart. I don't know which of the two directors is more outstanding. After all, I only met Stanley a few times. Of course, I like his films very much. But I've done my best to play the part, and I think I've done a great job, cruise said.
A good answer, not only avoided the main question, but also praised the two directors. By the way, he also publicized himself. It can be seen that his agent, pat Kingsley, has a good communication with the TV station. The reason for this is that cruise's face è was not very good-looking at the audition held inside Warner.
Of course, cruise didn't know who the Navy officer was. Adrian only edited a little of it. The three paragraphs add up to only 10 seconds, and the navy uniform has not been taken off, let alone the real sword and gun in the back of the actual shooting. Besides, the selected angle is also in place. There is no Lu in the Navy officer's face, and he has dealt with it a little in the post production. Unless someone who is very familiar with his body like Charlotte and can tell the size below and confirm it to three digits after the decimal point, can we see who it is from his back and body shape.
However, Nicole is not the same. Whether she is lying in the heat and taking off her own back or climbing on her back, she is extremely involved. It seems that she is not acting, even if it is only ten seconds in total. If the previous undressing was all at home and in front of cruise, and he could still accept it, then the spike Ji of this scene is a little larger.What's more, the tabloids have appeared with Nicole all Luo, as well as all kinds of hype mentioned before, such as "let people smack the tongue of the party Ji love scene", and intentionally or unintentionally connect the two. In the case of Tom Cruise, if you are in a good mood to hear and see these things, it is impossible to see ghosts, and it is impossible to say those words. This is undoubtedly due to Kingsley. It can be seen that it is really important to have an excellent agent.
In the face of these disputes, what is Adrian, one of the parties, doing?
"How about this contract, Mr. Yuan?" Adrian smiles at the old man in front of him.
The other side hesitated, after listening to the translation, he talked with his lawyer Ji ā, and then asked carefully: "I don't have any opinion, but, Mr. Adrian, don't you think this contract is too good?"
"It's very simple," he had expected the other party's reaction, and when he spoke slowly in Cantonese, he could still understand the meaning of it. So he could not finish the translation. Adrian laughed. "Mr. Yuan is a Chinese. Of course, he should know the allusion of" thousands of gold buying horse bones. "
Yuan Heping's eyes suddenly widened: "do you speak Mandarin?"
Then he lowered his head and muttered something. It seemed that he was complaining. His voice was very low. In addition, he was Cantonese. Adrian didn't hear him clearly, but he seemed to mention the name of Wu Baige.
But it didn't matter, so he immediately chuckled again: "the basic Ji flow should be OK - let's not talk about this. If Mr. Yuan is willing, I can introduce some good agents for you and let them take care of your business in Hollywood. Don't worry, they are all very honest people."
After understanding, Yuan Heping's hesitation became stronger.
"I know you don't understand why. It's easy. I'm optimistic about your future, or the future of motion coaching." Adrian didn't hide anything. "That's why I prepared such a contract, and why you joked about asking for 880000 dollars, but I agreed without hesitation."
When he mentioned the $880000 salary, Yuan Heping blushed, and seemed embarrassed and unhappy. Although he soon recovered his calm, he could not help complaining in his heart about such words as "this ghost guy speaks Mandarin well, but he doesn't know what euphemism means". Adrian certainly can't fail to understand how to be tactful. Jokingly, these things are engraved in linghun - even if only two-thirds - but it's not necessary now.
"I know about the action movies in Hong Kong. Those famous movie stars, such as Jack Cheng, have their own" martial arts "team. That's the word, isn't it? So an action director like you is very common in Hong Kong. " Adrian continued, "but it's different here. I believe that after these two films are released, Hollywood will certainly set off a wind of Oriental Kung Fu. Those" martial arts masters "in Hong Kong belong to i-person organizations, and they are not invited to invite them. Therefore, as you have representative works in Hollywood, you must be the object of cooperation of various film companies."
In a word, Yuan Heping, his translator and lawyers are all staring at each other with big eyes. If you are so straightforward, you don't need to explain it. But the pie falling from the sky is really unimaginable.
"What's good for you?" He couldn't help asking.
"It's very simple. If I need to make Oriental Kungfu action movies in the future, I need you to give priority to it." Adrian spread his hands.
"You're not afraid of my superficial promise. Then But the real lion opens his mouth Yuan Heping can't help asking again.
"Don't the Chinese want to pay attention to faithfulness? If I can't exchange your friendship and commitment with such honesty, I'll let it go. "
"Admire" Yuan Heping took a deep breath and accidentally made a gesture of clasping hands and fists. "That's settled."
In fact, both of them knew that if something like that happened, as long as Adrian maintained his strength in Hollywood, it would not be difficult to drive yuan Heping out of here. Although kung fu movies have a large market in North America, they are not the mainstream. Since cooperation is beneficial, and Adrian can be regarded as a "civil servant", Yuan Heping naturally knows how to choose.
After settling all this and sending yuan Heping away, Adrian immediately called Michael owitz. Although he only mentioned a few words, when the details were faxed, he would know what to do. To tell you the truth, owitz does have a set of brokers. After taking office, he has carried out radical reform, which only takes a few weeks to transform the company.
In addition to Tom Hanks, many first-line actors have also been drawn to the flag, if not midway, Dustin Hoffman might have come. You know, owitz and Hoffman have a deep love affair. When he was in CAA, he had to deal with a lot of things to deal with, such as the investment in thunderbolt ji'o-wa, or preparing to officially start shooting "matrix" in the near future, but before that, he picked up the phone and called."Hi, honey. How are you? Yes, I know, but Well, then the word "dear" is OK? Oh, it's nothing. I just want to call you. It's almost Valentine's day. I hope you'll like my gift Express delivery, of course. I don't mind sending it in person, but Ha ha I do have that plan, but you know, if I sing outside your home with my guitar, I'll probably get a 0.35 inch bullet. But if I want to sing outside your home with my guitar, will it be interesting for you if I want to be like Christmas day, which has lost its freshness? I'm not going to tell you, you'll know... "
What makes Adrian chat so happy is Lolita, who is far away from New York. For various reasons, although they often meet, they still contact each other by phone and letter most of the time. Oh, now there are more e-mails, but Natalie seems to like this way very much.
"Because distance produces beauty. If you get along too long and you lose your sense of mystery and I don't like you, what should I do?" 'said the little Natalie, lying on his chest after Ji's love affair.
Of course, there are other reasons besides that. Although Natalie doesn't say so, Adrian can also guess some. In any case, she was born in a strict and conservative Jewish family. Although the seeds of treason were planted in her heart early because of her precocity, coupled with her ambition and Adrian's ability, she had a relationship with him, but it does not mean that Natalie can face herself with no shame, no matter how smart she is, she is still a little NV in essence.
In addition, she took the initiative to push Adrian down. Even now, she won't get much praise in other people's eyes. Therefore, there will inevitably be a small but deep-rooted sense of guilt in the bottom of my heart. Although Adrian is very happy and sweet by her side, and his intimacy makes her indulge in the indescribable joy, she will inevitably feel troubled after waking up, let alone
So far apart, I usually chat on the phone, discuss various issues in letters and e-mails, and occasionally get together. How can Adrian refuse? He has more patience and tolerance for Tali who pushes her backwards. In addition, he also thinks of many ways to make her happy. For example, he mentioned the Christmas period on the phone before.
Although in New York, he mainly took Kate and Lily to visit his uncle, but on the night after Christmas, he came to the tree opposite Natalie's house in Long Island, looked at the light in her room and called her. The Jews just don't celebrate Christmas. They don't have a day off. So Natalie, who is at home, comes to the window as soon as she gets the phone call. They are so separated from each other on the street, gazing at each other and chatting on the phone. Adrian also reads her a short poem he wrote.
"You're like a head in love." Natalie teased him so much later, but she was still very happy in her heart. Which little NV didn't like this kind of carefree feeling in the palm of her hand?
And this time, of course, it's hand-made chocolate. What do you want for Valentine's day? Anyway, it doesn't matter if Natalie's parents give it to her.
"The information you need, ed." Charlize came in with two folders.
"Thank you, Charlie." Adrian took over and rolled a few glances, about the killing moment, the double Yin scheme and the man in black.
Unlike the three films of prison in the air, these films were completely produced by the film companies of AC media. Instead, they were given to other companies based on the principle of sharing. AC media is only responsible for part of the investment. For example, Colombia is responsible for "double Yin strategy" because it wants to repay Sony's favor. However, after thinking about it for a long time, "man in black" still gave it to Colombia, but it didn't After some considerations, DreamWorks got a foot in it. The killing moment was supposed to be given to universal, but in the end, it got into Fox's hands.
Although the production rights have all gone out, Adrian is still very concerned about the specific process. After all, "killing moment" is for Kate, while Monica plays the supporting role of NV in "the man in black" and the leading role of NV in "double yinmou".
Seeing that he had nothing to do with him, Charlize turned and walked out.
"Charley." Adrian stopped her, with a smile.
That day in London, after confirming that he was in the shooting and had a real fight with Nicole, Charlize's tone became more and more business oriented.
"What's the matter?" Charlize asked in a cold voice, as if his expression did not exist.
