Although the investment of "the Lord of the rings" is not much, if calculated according to the original version, each film does not exceed 100 million yuan. Compared with the blockbuster films which often invest $1.2 billion after entering the 21st century, even if it is produced and directed by Adrian, it will only increase the total investment by 50 million yuan. Even if it is produced and directed by Adrian, it will increase the total investment by more than 100 million yuan per film, which is still not comparable with those of other major productions in the future.
However, the word-of-mouth and box office of the "Lord of the rings" trilogy are absolutely few among the similar works. The box office of Harry Potter series may be far more than it, and the surrounding profits are much more than it. However, in word-of-mouth, no fantasy works can surpass it. Therefore, this is a well deserved masterpiece. Therefore, Adrian chose to put universal in charge of the trilogy. []
as early as 94, he had already obtained the film adaptation right of the Lord of the rings. The negotiation was a hard work. The adaptation right of the trilogy was not in the hands of Tolkien's son and trust. As early as the 1970s, the novel was adapted into an animation and radio play, so the film copyright was in the hands of Hollywood producer Saul sarz.
Saul sarz was also a figure in Hollywood, but Adrian's power at that time was not as powerful as he is now. Although he had already made a lot of fame at that time, the acquisition was also expanding, and it was still delayed until after 95 years, Adrian became the youngest Best Director at the Oscars, and then the film copyright of Lord of the rings was taken.
Rao is so, he did not get all the film rights of the Lord of the rings. Although Saul sarz has adapted the Hobbit adventure, the distribution right is in the hands of Lianmei instead of him. But it doesn't matter. Adrian has reservations about the prequel, so we can talk about it slowly. Anyway, Lianmei and MGM have merged and robbed MGM's film library. They have something to do with each other, so we can talk about it slowly.
Of course, all provisions must be detailed, and profit sharing is the most important thing. We should not bring lawsuits in the future because of unfair distribution. Although with his present power, those people will not take a lawsuit against him casually, and he is not worried about taking a lawsuit at all, but once this happens, it will be unpleasant after all.
After getting the film copyright of the Lord of the rings, Adrian hid it. Until universal film was acquired by the media, the film and television production was basically stable, and then it was put out as a foundation. However, what made Adrian determined was that Gwyneth and Blanchett CO produced a film last year, directed by Anthony mingella, "talent Ripley.". Although knowing that mingra's slow-paced storytelling style is not very flattering, it may feel good to watch it once, and it will make people tired after more. Adrian still asked Miramax to make this film. If the box office is not good, it will make a good reputation.
However, minguela hoped that Adrian could persuade Gwyneth and Blanchett to play, and changed the script according to his will. Adrian agreed, and then he had the idea to let them play together in the film he directed. Now that he's got Gwyneth and Blanchett together, both in life and in business, it's interesting to have them make movies together.
Besides, they had already made movies together when they were shooting Shakespeare and Elizabeth, so it would be appropriate for Gwyneth to play eowen.
"Please come here. The main purpose is to meet each other, get familiar with each other and communicate with each other, so the crew can arrange your schedule."
"I had sent people to New Zealand to collect information long before that, and before I sent you an invitation, some of the people in charge had already set up the scenery."
"As for why New Zealand is considered, it is very simple, the environment is suitable, and then the labor is cheap."
Adrian answered the actors' questions without delay.
Although the film was temporarily stored after he got the film copyright, he still arranged for many people to go to New Zealand in the following years to go to the places he remembered, such as Queenstown or the East Grillo National Park, to collect relevant information, and started preparation early. So when he was ready to start, various scene and character setting maps were already very good Perfect.
Since there is an original version as a reference, Adrian doesn't need to go to other places to find suitable places. It will only be thankless. Besides, New Zealand's labor is really cheap and can save a lot of costs.
"Thank you for your time. We will be afraid by the middle of this month at the latest. Please be prepared." Adrian concluded today's meeting with these words.
Miracle director's name is now known to everyone, especially since he also won three nominations for best director at this year's Oscar, so no one refused after the invitation, and Gwyneth just played a little temper.
"I just don't think it's fair. Why can Kate play the fairy queen while I'm just a queen?" At the end of the meeting, Gwyneth, walking in the back, asked Adrian, and that's where she was dissatisfied.
"Because ed thinks you're a good fit." Blanchett, who followed her, chuckled.
Gwyneth rolled her eyes and said nothing, while liv, who was at the back, was not happy to look at them, but at the same time she was thoughtful.Although the Lord of the rings has been put on schedule, there is still a period of time before the actual shooting. Adrian has to arrange other things, such as the late editing of the beautiful legend of Sicily. The film will not be released until the end of the year. There will be enough time for him to edit slowly to achieve the group number, or the arrangement of some films and some letters How to pass the information to him in the first place, and the itinerary of other women.
You know, Adrian has to stay in New Zealand for at least a few months, and there is a large span of time difference and reversed climate. Although it is very convenient to go back to Los Angeles, it can not be too frequent. So how to effectively transmit information and how to let women spend their holidays in New Zealand need to be planned. Fortunately, he has a capable female secretary.
Of course, in addition to these, there are some things that need his own initiative to arrange.
"New Zealand? At least ten months? " At Julie's house, Avril could not help but open her eyes after hearing about it.
"Yes, it's a fairly large production and I need to stay there for a long time to direct the shooting." Adrian nodded.
"Oh, that's too bad, I still have a lot of things to ask you for advice." Avril did not hide her frustration and loss.
"I heard that you make movies very fast. It takes half a year for other people to make movies. It only takes you 2 months at most. Why does it take so long this time?" She asked immediately.
Avril is a lively girl. After a few weeks in Los Angeles, Avril became familiar with a group of children playing rock and roll in school. She also devoted great enthusiasm to her training in the company. Norton has praised Adrian more than once. She has great potential in pop rock.
Adrian often takes time to chat with Avril and discuss music topics. The girl is surprised to learn that he wrote several popular songs by Britney Spears and Christina, but Adrian rarely fully admits it.
"I just have a lot of ideas. For example, I have a few melodies coming out of my inspiration. It's OK to hum them out, but it's not so easy to write a complete song, so the real credit is Eric and theirs." That's what he said.
Yes, I didn't admit it completely, but I played that kind of half cover to the extreme, so Avril's eyes were filled with curiosity and even worship of God è. But more often than not, Avril talks, Adrian listens, listens to her stories about her childhood, listens to her complaining or boasting, and then says a word at the right time.
Therefore, it is normal for Avril, who has been used to it, to feel lost when she learns that Adrian is going to stay in New Zealand for a long time.
"It's a trilogy, that is, to shoot three films at a time. Even if it takes two months for each film, it's half a year. What's more, the scale of this film is very large." Adrian simply explained, then reached out and touched the girl's head, "but don't worry, you can come and see me if you want."
"That's the deal," Avril called immediately, for fear that he might repent.
"Of course." Adrian smiles and nods.
Obviously, the girl has a very good impression of him and has a heavy weight in her heart. This is a good start, but the other one is a little different.
"New Zealand? At least ten months? " Jessica opened her eyes wide. Although she was surprised and disappointed, she also envied and regretted. After listening to Adrian's explanation, she said nothing but wish him a smooth shooting.
It wasn't until the party was over and Adrian was ready to leave that Jessica took the opportunity to send him off and asked, "so, where do you stay until it's over, or do you come back often?"
"I will take time to come back, but not often. After all, jet lag is too much and too frequent, which will affect efficiency." Adrian said.
Then Jessica sighed, "I really want to see what New Zealand is like."
Adrian picked his eyebrows and then said, "if you want, I can invite you over for a holiday."
"Really?" The girl again revealed the surprise God è, but then showed the hesitant God è, "but..."
"In this way, I invite the whole black angel crew to New Zealand for a holiday. You can follow the crew alone or take your family with you." Adrian said so.
Perhaps not thinking that the other party could see her mind, Jessica grew up and jumped up with joy. She put her arm around his neck and gave him a heavy slap in his face: "thank you, ed"
then she thought of something and screamed, and her face turned red. She left Adrian and went back home like a frightened rabbit.
It's really Funny, contradictory girl. Adrian thought, touching Jessica's cheek. Although he didn't have as much contact with her as Avril, and most of the time he was on the set of "the dark angel of the end of the world", there were quite a lot of them. They had a good relationship with each other. She invited him to several parties she held.
Jessica is very fond of holding parties and inviting a large group of friends to come and play. However, most of the parties are held in her own home. She still lives with her parents and brother, so it is different from some party animals, so Adrian describes her as contradictory. It's like a Eager to break free from the shackles, out of the cocoon, but for various reasons from time to time shrink inside a few times, has not fully grown up.Yes, it is. Over the course of a few months, Jessica was more beautiful than when she first appeared in "the last black angel". She is getting closer to Adrian's image in her memory, but it is still a long way to go. It's like a butterfly that hasn't broken its cocoon, so if you really want to do something, you have to hurry up. The effect of cocoon breaking is not as great as that of an egg.
Well, let's not mention that. It's getting closer and closer to the official shooting time of Lord of the rings. Adrian also starts to prepare to start. He can do something after planning something for a period of time.
"Why did you ask me here? Can't it be in a cafe or a restaurant or a club? " Nicole asked after she sat down.
Although there was a little impoliteness in her words, there was no impatient spirit è between her eyebrows. On the contrary, she looked quite relaxed, as if she had unloaded some big stone in her heart.
Nicole has reason to relax, because there is no time limit on Cruise's side. Their divorce case has been delayed for almost a year, and now the dust has finally settled. According to the court ruling, cruise handed her a luxury house in Sydney and Beverly Hills in Los Angeles, and paid $50 million. In two days, after the signing of the divorce agreement, she could get rid of the man completely.
In addition, her performance in "muhiland road" has won a lot of critics' praise, and also won the Golden Globe Award for best supporting actress. Yes, yes, in the Golden Globe Awards just now, she won the best supporting actress. Although she has won the Golden Globe Award for best actress in musical comedy three years ago, everyone knows the comfort of this best actress Ng type.
So although she was not as good as Naomi in her performance evaluation, she was still a little satisfied. After all, this is the first time that critics have completely ignored her appearance. Moreover, Naomi has been nominated for best actress in the Golden Globe Award, but she has not been able to get it.
But Nicole was also a little worried and upset, because she knew that everything she had now was given by the man in front of her. If this person had not arranged for the media to do their own favorable reports, if this person had not sent someone to snipe Cruise's i-person detective, she would not have won so easily in the divorce case. She not only received a large amount of compensation, but also pushed most of the negative news to Cruz. Nicole has been in Hollywood for almost ten years, and she has the ability to deal with Anthony Pellicano What I heard.
Similarly, if it had not been for this man who directed and invited her to play, she would not have won the Golden Globe for best supporting actress and won praise that she had never had before. And this man has been nominated for three best directors by the Oscars in the same term, and has allowed his two women to be nominated for best actress at the same time, which makes Nicole very contradictory.
