Adrienne suddenly felt like wanting to laugh. James Cameron in front of him carried a trace of enthusiasm, like a robber who could finally remove the treasure. There was no yelling at countless cameras after a few years. King
style.
刚 He was about to speak, the elevator door opened at the moment, and outside was the hotel lobby. Adrian smiled and gestured to James and Wendel: "Let's find a place to sit down and talk slowly."
Three people came to the bar in the lobby and found a place to have a drink and started talking. Instead of pulling Adrian to talk about investment issues as eagerly as in the elevator, James talked about the movie casually.
From "Terminator" to "Alien 2" to "Abyss" the year before, James talked about everything, even the embarrassment he encountered when shooting the first work "Piranha 2". Somehow guessed that some of his thoughts, Adrian also just held a few words and incidentally made a long and short introduction to himself. I also learned that the reason I met James and Wendel here was because the production company was also partying at the Baccarat Hotel.
"It's a shame, Ed. I should have gone to the cinema to see" Memory Fragments "before. It must be an excellent movie." After listening to Adrian's introduction to his latest work, James So sighed, as to whether it is sincere or polite.
"You don't like it that much, James, you love technology and effects more than editing methods," Adrian shook his head with a smile, "just like you dived underwater for hours in order to shoot" The Abyss ". "
"This is true," James did not deny. "The reason why I will make a sequel to" Terminator "after 7 years is because their technology can not meet my requirements. Remember I said to you just now," The fight between the last part of the first episode of Terminator and the robot was shot frame by frame. If you switch to now, it will definitely not be so troublesome. "
At this point he suddenly became excited: "Did you know, Ed, this time I designed a liquid metal terminator, T-1000 played by Robert Patrick, and T-1000 played by Arnold Schwarzenegger. 800 will protect the young future leader and he has wonderful action opponents. As long as you go to my studio to see those completed clips, you will know that your $ 10 million investment is definitely worth the money. "
"I totally believe, James," Adrian nodded. "As long as you are willing and the producer is fine, I can put money in your account at any time."
"If I take the liberty, Mr. Adrian, can I know why you must invest?" Wendell, who has not spoken at the moment, stepped in. "You said earlier that the company you took over has just improved, completely. There is no need to join in. "
Wendell's subtext is obvious, high risk will not be said, 10 million is too small compared to 100 million, even if the movie eventually made money, Adrian did not share much. James was busy glancing at his companions, but Wendell didn't blink as he stared at the young man in front of him.
"In my opinion, just the name of James Cameron is worth investing in." Adrian said with all his might.
Talking about this, James and Wendell couldn't help but hesitated and laughed a few minutes later, and reached out to Adrian: "That's all right, Ed!"
"But there is one point I want to declare," Adrian, who was holding hands with James, suddenly said again, with a solemn tone in his tone, "only 10 million, no more."
James couldn't help but stop, completely unaware of what Adrian was serious about, and he didn't react until Wendell smirked beside him, then rolled his eyes and laughed bitterly.
真的 How much money does this investment really make? How could this be the second installment of Terminator! Even if the box office stays the same, Adrian has nearly doubled his profit, which is pretty good. Of course, his goal is not in this movie. Since God made him meet James Cameron here, and just happened to meet the other party's distress for the funds of "Terminator 2", it is impossible to justify emotional investment.
James Cameron has not been a front-line director for a few years. It is this "Terminator 2" that has been made to the end so far, so there is no better time than now. Just think about how many technologies and records have been born from this technology madman, it is absolutely necessary to draw now, just ...
Sure enough, as in the memory, "Terminator 2" has begun to burn money without a doubt. I can imagine the crazy look of this guy when making the biggest investment movie in history in a few years. On the way back, Adrian thought as he drove. However, this is nothing. The timing is just right. James Cameron will not be a problem. Instead, Spielberg, can you convince the other party without using the trump card?

"Don't worry, Holmes, I promise that the production of" Captain Hook "will be completed as scheduled, you don't have to be in this mood." Spielberg reached out and pressed in the air, as if he wanted to sit on another sheet. The producer of Sony on the sofa is at ease.
"Well, Steven, we are also old friends. I don't want to hide you. The company hopes that this movie will be released in the summer vacation," Holmes sighed. "You know, Captain Peter Pan, Hook , Wendy, little fairy, children's favorite. "
"Summer vacation? Sorry, Holmes, this is unlikely," Spielberg shrugged, took the coffee in front of him, and sipped. "I have a lot of work to do, and I won't allow the movie. Later work perfunctory. "
"What a perfunctory thing, Steven, just a little bit faster." Holmes spread his arms.
"We haven't been working together for a short time, Holmes, you know what I do." Spielberg didn't mean to say anything. "In fact, Christmas stalls are also a good choice, aren't they?"
Hommes stared at him for a while: "Did that happen? We refused to invest?"
怎么 "How can you say that, Holmes!" Spielberg frowned.
"That's it, come on, Steven, I know you've always wanted to make this movie, but no one will like it. Rather than spending money on it, it would be better to donate it." Holmes Stubbornly shook his head.
"You're insulting me, Holmes!" Spielberg's tone became fierce. "For years, I haven't thought about putting it into someone else's hands, but no one wants to take over, since So I will make the shots by myself! It ’s no big deal that they rejected me, but it ’s so disappointing that you say such a thing now! "
The two looked at each other for a long while, and Holmes finally sighed and softened: "Well, I apologize, Steven, I offended you, I'm sorry."
Spielberg also sighed, knowing that he wasn't malicious: "Just so, Holmes."
"That's it, Christmas stalls, I'll tell them." Holmes nodded, got up and left the office.
He watched the other person out, and Spielberg sat quietly on the sofa for a few minutes without knowing what to think, and then got upset and went behind the desk to read the documents.
At this time, the telephone on the desk rang: "Mr. Steven, here is a Mr. Adrian Cowell looking for you, he said he has a date with you."
Spielberg froze for a moment, then looked at the response immediately afterwards: "Yes, yes, please come in."
Adrian Cowell. He read the name a few times in his heart, and the scene that night came to mind. He didn't want to go to the party, but Elaine called in person to invite him.
年轻人 The young man first impressed him very well. He was modest and courteous, behaved well, and had his own opinions on people and things. And he has seen the movie that has been praised by critics before. He edited it exquisitely and told a simple story so brilliantly. This young man is outstanding and has potential ~ EbookFREE.me ~ It is utilitarian , And said so much for myself is the last sentence.
I thought Spielberg shook his head slightly here. He didn't think utilitarianism was a bad thing. He had made movies for so many years that he knew how realistic Hollywood was. He just feels that this young man is a little impatient. If the other person is a little stable, next time he finds another opportunity to say this, he will definitely consider it carefully. Now ...
"Hello, Ed, I'm glad we met again so soon." As the young face appeared at the door, Spielberg stood up and reached out and shook the other person.
"Thank you for taking the time, Steven." Adrian with a humble smile can easily make people feel good.
The two sat down at each side of the desk, and after a few words of confusion, they turned to the topic.
"I remember when you left the party last time, you said you wanted to adapt a science fiction novel into a movie, didn't you?" Spielberg asked first.
"Yes." Adrian nodded, then put the book he was holding in his hand and pushed it to his desk. "A science fiction about dinosaurs, very interesting."
关于 "About dinosaurs?" Spielberg raised his eyebrows unconsciously. When he picked up the book on the table and looked at him, he was startled in his heart.
"Mr. Clayton's" Jurassic Park "," Adrian's voice sounded again, "I was contacted by him when it was published last year, and finally got a movie adaptation after several twists and turns. Right. Michael and I spoke on the phone several times and we agreed that it was the best option for you to direct and produce this movie. "
