Chapter 234: status

"Don't even think about it, James. You have to know that the budget given to you was 100 million US dollars. You should be satisfied. Look at Joe. Have you ever been treated like this? Even I haven't made a budget at 1. A movie worth more than $ 100 million. "Adrian stood leaning against the wall with a cup, and teased James Cameron, who had a beard again.
"Hey, it's only 10 million, and I just want to make better." Cameron yelled.
"Don't even think about it, James, unless you pay for it yourself-what do you think, Trent?" Adrian said, looking to Sean Waters, the general manager of the Fox company next to him.
"I totally agree." Waters Haha laughed. As the general manager of Fox, he oversaw the production of "The Real Lie", and he was too clear about Cameron's style.
"Well, James, Ed is right. Few directors can spend $ 100 million on a budget like you do." Seeing Cameron still want to speak, Jonathan Demi aside immediately opened Mouth, but also with ridicule in his tone.
"Well, James, let's be delusional again," Adrian took the talk, and did not give Cameron a chance to speak. "Let's rest assured that this film is finished."
Cameron finally shrugged with a smile, and then thought of something and suddenly asked: "Remember what we said that day, Ed? Shawn was there that day when he came out of the bar, but he left early."
"Of course I remember, I will never forget what I said," Adrien grinned. "If this movie can achieve the desired goal, then I will invest two billion yuan for you to make the next movie."
"Really?" Cameron's eyes lit up suddenly, and excitement came in his voice. "So how many box office counts have met your expectations?"
"Well, just wait until the movie is released." Adrian spread his hands, and the people around him suddenly laughed. In their opinion, Adrian was just joking. A look of disappointment flickered from Cameron's face, but after touching Adrian's meaningful eyes, he seemed to understand something, and then laughed with everyone.
"Speaking of which, I suddenly felt envious of Arnold them, not everyone can play a leading role in such a large investment." Denzel Washington said in a half-joke next to him.
"Who knows, no one can predict what will happen in the future." Tom Hanks patted his shoulder with a smile.
"I can predict that," Adrian immediately said, and then said it seriously after everyone's eyes had seen: "However, I can only anticipate recent events, such as the prospect of the Philadelphia Story."
This immediately caused another laugh, and then Universal executive Todd Browning on the other side asked: "So what's the future of the Philadelphia Story?"
"I believe that anyone who has seen the preview will feel good, and Joe may be nominated for the best Oscar director." Adrian said after thinking about it, with a very serious taste.
"Is this a prophecy? Should it be seen as a prophecy of the miracle director?"
"Ha, it looks like Joe should be congratulated in advance, and maybe nominated after a year interval."
"Oh, please, this is just Ed's prediction. Do you all think this is true?"
Everyone started to discuss, and then the topic went further and further. These are the guests at the party, the executives of several well-connected movie companies, as well as several well-known directors and actors, even Spielberg and Luks-although only stayed for thirty or forty Minutes left-not to mention those second- and third-line directors, actors, producers, agents and so on.
In addition, the head of the Los Angeles branch, Frank West, was present. After all, "Friends" is currently on their television network, and some other television networks have also tried to manage-for example, some guests always bring A few friends-attended the party, including Adrian's target Turner Broadcasting Company.
These well-informed guys all know that since Bosworth Films has produced such a popular TV series, it will definitely continue to develop. In addition, there is also a miracle director or miracle writer in Adrian—this is in the " After the hit of "Friends", people in the circle gave him a new title, but given that he still mainly makes movies, most of the screenwriters only provide ideas and let the scriptwriters finish, so this title only exists in private.
In short, with such a person, there will be some guarantee for the production of TV series, these TV networks naturally also hope to get a share of it, after all, the competition on this is also very large
It can be seen that although Adrian is still a Hollywood upstart in terms of time, in terms of status and identity, it is already much higher than the title of newcomer director or producer. After all, he is also the chairman of the media. Although the media is not comparable to those of large group companies, it is almost impossible for a chairman of a media company to be a director. This is naturally not something that ordinary new directors or producers can. Comparable.
"Remember what you promised me, Tom, I want you to be a hero in a movie next year." Adrian took the time to say this to Hanks in front of everyone.
"No problem, I will make time for you." The other party agreed, without hesitation.
"It looks like the workaholics are about to start again." Someone teased and then withdrew a bunch of topics.
This is also a manifestation of power and status. If someone would invite Hanks in this way, he would never answer so easily. Of course, this has nothing to do with Hanks not yet reaching its peak, but Adrian is also the same, otherwise he would not use "I need" instead of "I hope".
However, such status, identity, and power are also relative. Although he can be regarded as a big man in front of these people, but some people are still a complete newcomer. At the Godfather's reception a few days ago, Lei Shi Dong's old man relied on the old man and said that he and Claude were "two good young people."
Although a little unpleasant, Adrian was quickly left behind, and Redstone was certainly qualified to say so. In fact, most of the celebrities attending the Father's Cocktail Party can say so, they are indeed young people. But this does not mean that young people are very tender, and Claude quickly put Redstone together.
"I'm not interested in his proposal. It's a joke. It's so simple that I want to get Paramount shares from me." After a few words with Redstone, Claude said to Adrian. "Although we all agree to fall to Viacom, it is by no means right now. Let's wait for them to come up with the results."
In this regard, Adrian can only laugh.
"Hey, Ed, you're here." A hand slaps on Adrian's shoulder.
"Dan?" Adrian turned his head, then deliberately let out a sigh of relief. "Who do I think it is?"
"What's wrong?" Dennis asked strangely.
"No, nothing, are you still having fun?" Adrian shook his head and opened the topic, chatting with Cameron for a long time, and coping with the executives of various TV networks who had been chatting for a while, he was I wanted to spend a few minutes in this quiet corner, and then found Julia to leave with me, but did not expect Denis to come again.
"Oh, of course, very happy, so are they." Dennis said to get out of the way, six starring actors including Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, and Matthew Perry, as well as several screenwriters and several A director appeared before him.
"Hey, Ed, it's been a long time. You look handsome." Compared to the other five actors, Jennifer is more familiar with Adrian, so he smiled and said hello.
"Hi Jane, you too, look more beautiful than before." Adrian hugs her with a smile, and then the other five hugs in turn: "Gentlemen, ladies, congratulations."
"Thank you, Ed."
"Yes, if it weren't for you, we wouldn't have the chance to appear in such an interesting TV series."
Matthew and others talked loudly, and their words were full of gratitude and respect, especially David Xiumeng. After all, when Adrian was looking for them to act in, he had wanted to refuse. If it was not for Adrian, he would not appear here today, or he would desperately regret it at home.
Adrian talked to them with a smile, and accepted their gratitude frankly. To be honest, for a few minutes, he really wanted to know if they found that their role was completely restricted to them after ten years. In "Friends", no matter how the transformation is futile, will you feel resentment.
"By the way, Ed, have you considered making a guest role in" Friends? "After chatting for a few minutes, a writer suddenly said to Adrian so suddenly, everyone's eyes were turned to him.
"Do you have any good ideas, Braga?" Adrian asked calmly.
In addition to the interesting language and humor close to life, "Friends" also invites popular stars to make guest appearances. All the people from the original class have appeared, and of course this point of view will not be ignored ~ EbookFREE.me ~ I just didn't expect that they actually hit their heads on him.
"I have an idea," said the male screenwriter called Braga with a grin. He was about 27 or 8 years old, very young, and no wonder he would be so bold.
"Joy, played by Matt, is a soap opera actor, and he just designed a plot for the movie audition." Braga said, "You can play the director or simply play yourself, think about it, Joey is going to participate in a miracle The casting of the director. "
"Friends" has already filmed 11 episodes, and there are at least 13 episodes to be filmed. They are planning to start this guest appearance with him, which is really a good plan.
"Well, Ed, you just need to perform in your true character." Seeing that he was still thinking, Braga continued to persuade, "You know, Dan is behind you, and as soon as Jane speaks, he promises to be a guest.
"Dan has agreed?" Adrian looked at Dennis, who nodded to him.
interesting. Adrian narrowed his eyes. Speaking of which, Dan has been very close to Jane at the party tonight, and Noni hasn't seen him a few times ... it's really interesting. ()
