Chapter 23: New Movies (1)

Adrian felt very depressed. The girl was really beautiful, although she was still young and she was already well developed. It would definitely be a stun in a few years. He should sign her in the name of the company, and then Bring it with you to cultivate and adjust, and then ... But he just didn't realize it because he was immersed in the venting pleasure.
That ’s right, the big words to the girl were indeed venting. He just started to preach, a very angry and unwilling mood surged up, and there were scenes in his head. There was the previous Adrian All kinds of life also have the life experience of Zhang Haoxuan in the previous life-in a way, they can be regarded as the same life.
情绪 This emotion has actually been hidden in Adrian's heart, but it is always suppressed in the corner for various reasons, but as his story succeeds step by step, this emotion is slowly released. If only it was like this, although there is a lot of depression, there will always be a time when it is released.
However, although the plans he made are for his first goal, he will feel the great attraction whenever he re-examines, unknowingly starting the second goal in his heart and the first goal It was flat. Adrian was convinced that he could achieve his goal, but before that he had to smile at his old-fashioned uncle, and the contrast, coupled with the words of the girl, suddenly broke out.
This is also good. It is better to vent it than to release it slowly. God knows if there will be any other problems over time. It happened that he didn't know the girl, so many words could roar out, which greatly eased his mood. However, I don't know what will happen to the girl in the end. After all, it is because of cheating that if she is so brave, if so ... forget it, who knows? Maybe she will have a better life in the future.
世界 This world is so interesting, sometimes you do n’t necessarily change something even if you do your best, even if you know what will happen; sometimes you can change a person's life with just a few words.
After sighing on the bench for a while, Adrian finally cleared up his mood, anyway, his goal is Hollywood, miss it if you miss it, and ... he couldn't help thinking of Kate's hot body.
I'd better swallow the food first, Adrian said to himself.
After two days in New York, Adrian returned to his Los Angeles villa. The room was kept clean and tidy under Mrs. Galen's care. After talking to Laverne, Dennis, and Claude, he locked himself in his study and got busy.
Naturally, he continued his plagiarism. Besides the novel versions of Resident Evil, Tomb Raider and The Matrix, he was also busy writing new movie scripts. According to his plan, the new film will be filmed at the end of October or early November, and it will take about 3 months to complete the filming and then be sent to the Berlin Film Festival.
Anyway, "Two Great Smoke Guns" is a sure thing to make money, and everyone will do it when they win. Of course, this progress is indeed a little too fast, but Adrian has no other choice. He is also forced to hurry up, and sometimes he can't help complaining: If it is reborn, it should be a few years in the morning. .
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it came to mid-October. Adrian was right. The two main movie viewing areas of "Two Big Smoke Guns" have reached 39 million in North American box office so far, while the United Kingdom Box office is over £ 20 million!
I can't have such an excellent result, of course, because Adrian moved the film authentically, Laffern's excellent operation is also one of the reasons. Although Adrian won the Venice Film Festival's Best Debut Award, which is not good but not bad for a new director, most Americans are not interested in the Venice Film Festival. As for the gimmick that the new director of the United States makes a pure British black humor movie, it can attract a large number of fans of cut movies, but there is still something to be done if you want most Americans to pay for the movie theaters.
However, La Verne did it, basically using all the available methods. In addition to focusing on the two points mentioned above, he also deliberately promoted the complex multi-line narrative techniques used in movies. This trick is very useful, and the cost is not much, but the effect is exceptionally good. In the end, although there were only more than 100 movie theaters in the first week of release, there were 7 million at the box office on the weekend! You need to know that the film costs just over 1 million after taking into account the shooting costs and other expenses. Even if the final box office is only 7 million, Adrian still makes money.
But this is just the beginning. The screen released in the second week reached 500 pieces, and the total box office on the weekend doubled to 16 million! By mid-October, there were already 1,500 theaters, and the total box office went straight to 30 million. Many directors or producers were surprised by this.
"It's simple, good movies will never lack an audience," concluded the famous film critic Ronnie Gross.
Adrian was surprised when he learned of it. At least in his memory, there is only the British box office of "Two Big Smoke Guns", which is about 20 million pounds. But just one month after its release, the UK's box office has exceeded 20 million pounds, while the conservative estimate in North America may eventually exceed 40 million US dollars!
"I have to admit, dear Laffer, I picked up a treasure." In the film company's conference room, Adrian sitting on a high back chair with his hands crossed smiled at his general manager.
谢谢 "Thank you, Ed." Lafferne nodded slightly. "Actually, I do too."
"Really?" Adrian raised an eyebrow.
"At least among the things I've experienced, someone who can make a movie that costs only $ 200,000 in two months and win the Venice Best Debut Award, while also getting a $ 30 million box office in North America There is only one, "Lafferne said calmly.
哈 "Hah, Raffer, I don't know you're going to make a fart." Adrian laughed.
"I'm telling the truth." La Verne remained calm.
"Well, don't talk about this, what do you think of my new script?" Adrian changed the subject.
"The story can only be considered good," Lafferne said politely, but the words turned immediately, "but the camera is very interesting. If the two aspects are combined, I can't make a specific judgment."
"Yes, the focus is on editing. The story is important, but the way of telling the story is equally important." Adrian said with a hand.
The knocking of the door rang at this moment, and the staff outside came in with permission: "Mr. Adrian, Mr. Dennis is here."
"Very good, let him in." Adrian hurriedly said.
"Sorry, I'm late." Dennis quickly appeared at the door.
"It's okay, you just moved to Xilin District ..." Adrian couldn't help laughing before he finished speaking.
"Hell, Dan, what's going on with you?" He stood up and looked at him funny.
"Is there anything wrong?" Dennis raised his hands, but then stretched out his hands to pull his tie. Although a suit made him look handsome, he didn't know why he always gave others an awkward feeling, not to laugh La Verne shook his head and covered his mouth.
"I think that since there are important things today, it is natural to dress more formally." Dennis said with a bit of ridicule, and did not cover up the helplessness in his tone.
"Looks like you should find a girlfriend." After he reached out to pull the collar again, Adrian said with a smile. "Well, let's untie the tie. In addition, it's better to open the collar and don't wear clothes. buckle."
"Thank you." Dennis also didn't quit, and untied his tie, then opened the shirt collar and unbuttoned the suit as Adrian told him, which immediately made his eyes much more pleasing.
"I will introduce you to a few tailors when I have time. After tailoring, I believe it is definitely more suitable than your current dress." Adrian continued.
A bitter smile flickered from Dennis's face, then nodded: "Thank you, Ed."
怎么 How could Adrian fail to notice his expression and greeted Dennis with a small laugh in his heart?
"There are two things, the first is this." He slipped a thing out of his jacket pocket and passed it.
"This is ..." When Dennis took over, his body shook slightly.
"This is for me?" Although the tone tried to keep calm, the trill did not hide the other two people present.
"Relax, just 500,000 ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Adrian understands his feelings. Obviously Dennis's experience has never received such a large sum of money, even before the filming of" Two Big Smoke Guns " At that time it was only $ 10,000.
"But ..." Dennis looked puzzled at what he wanted to say.
"This is a red envelope I give you. Everyone has it. You should be rewarded for merit, don't you?" Adrian spread his hands. "I originally planned to give you 1 million, but considering that you can't be worse than others It ’s too far, so it ’s reduced by half. Okay, relax, I dare say you will never take just that, think about what the critics say? Excellent! Dude, you are already famous! "
In Adrian's "Two Great Smoke Guns", the most acclaimed acting is Ed, played by Dennis, especially the gutsy appearance when he got out of the "axe" Harry after gambling was calculated. It really is Excellent.
"I see." Dennis took a deep breath. "So what about the second one, the new movie?"
"Yes, I believe you have seen part of the script yesterday. I need you to reduce it to about 100 pounds within a week. I will let Laffer arrange someone to guide you how to do it." Adrian pointed out.
"No problem." Dennis agreed.
谈 They had already talked about this when they were in Venice. Dennis agreed without hesitation, let alone now. After several years of hardening, he knew when he should do what. Now that he is so lucky, he wo n’t let go easily, so when the movie was well received, many people came to the door to be his agent and asked Adrian After the other party asked him to delay for a while, he immediately fired these people. Today's facts prove that his approach is completely correct!
