Chapter 47: Leave things to professionals

"The rest is solely your responsibility. As long as Tim Robbins plays the leading actor Andy, Morgan Freeman plays the supporting actor No. 1 Red, and Bob Gunton plays the supporting actor No. 2 Norton. So, is there a problem? "Said Adrian, who was sitting in the conference room, flipping through the folders in front of him.
负责 The people in charge of the department in the sitting room looked at each other without talking, and the manager of the planning department nodded after a few minutes: "I see, Mr. Adrian, we will try our best ..."
"I don't need to do my best, I need to be certain, understand?" Adrian interrupted him.
"Yes, sir, we must." The manager said immediately.
"That's it, Lafferne stays, others can leave." Adrian gestured.
After these responsible people were out of the conference room, Adrian looked at Laffern sitting on his left: "Do you have anything to say to me, Laffer?"
"Yes, something about investing in the near future, but I think you'll definitely stick to your opinion, don't you?" Laffern shrugged, apparently wondering what Adrian did.
"You're my general manager, Laffer, so just say anything, I'll be happy to answer all your questions, which is good for us." Adrian said slowly.
"I see," Lafferne nodded. "I think the company has been carrying out too many projects at the same time recently, and the amount of investment has been too large. This is too risky, and if you accidentally fall into a serious loss. Although I It's not a good thing to know that you are well funded, but losing money in the end. "
那么 "So, what are you going to do?" Adrian looked at him indifferently.
"What else can you do, you are the boss, you have made your decision," Lafferne sighed. "Only hope that the box office of" Memory Fragments "will be higher, and then" Jurassic Park "began to prepare Time can be late. "
Adrian laughed, and he heard the complaint in the other person's words: "Well, don't worry, Lafferne, although the medium-term box office of" Memory Fragment "is not good, it is now picking up. We were before I have also estimated that it will not be too different from "Two Big Smoke Guns". After the release of "Terminator 2" in July, the previously invested 10 million can be gradually returned to the cage, and at this time Steven will definitely end it. The work at hand, so "Jurassic Park" has to wait until August or September at the latest to begin preparations, and at this time my "Shoshenko Redemption" should be almost completed, just right, isn't it? "
"What you said is based on everything going well, Ed." Lafferne said bluntly. "Especially at the box office of" Terminator 2 ", you never seem to think it will lose money. Yes, I admit that the first episode of "Terminator" has cultivated many fans, and I also believe that James Cameron can make the second episode better than the first episode, but its total investment of 110 million US dollars is too It's big. Even if the box office is good, we can keep the cost up. "
"What if the global box office is more than 400 million?" Adrian asked casually.
Rafern froze, and smiled bitterly before speaking. If the global box office really gets $ 400 million, the company will naturally earn a lot. How many movies can get such a high box office in the global market? And once the overseas market accounts for the majority, it will be more divided, and whether the capital can be preserved is still a problem.
"I know you may not believe it, Laffer, but I have no doubt of my own vision." Adrian spread his hands at this time, if not worried about some issues, he just said 500 million instead of nearly 400 million.
"I'm bullish on James Cameron, and I can be sure that he will bring us hundreds of times in the future." Although Adrian vowed, he did not let the bitter smile of Laverne's mouth disappear.
So after thinking about it for a few minutes, he suddenly changed the subject: "Before, I asked you to buy a foreign movie and the right to adapt two novels. What's happening now?"
"Hmm ..." Although I don't understand why Adrian mentioned this, Lafferne gave an answer after thinking about it, "There will be no problem in Italy. King ’s College of Cambridge University has not yet given a response, but I believe it is not It will be too much trouble. The main thing is Ms. Anne Rice, who does not seem to intend to leave her novel to us. "
"Do you have any suggestions?" Adrian asked.
"You know, women are relatively more emotional than men," Lafferne thought. "So after lobbying for Shawshank's Redemption", you will be more likely to succeed. Of course, if you are in a hurry If I need it, I have 80% chance of getting it, but the price may be slightly higher. "
"You're really good, Laffer," Adrian clapped his hands. "To be honest, I didn't expect you to get Shawshank's Redemption from Stephen King so quickly. It's very good."
谢谢 "Thank you, but I don't think you're just trying to say this." Laffern's face clearly asked.
"Let's say that, Laffer," Redemption of Shawshank "will be my Oscar ticket for next year, and in the next year I will make three movies-not necessarily these three, last time in the restaurant The robbery gave me a good idea. In short, at the Oscars of the following year, I will bring a film emperor and a film actor to the stage, and I will also be nominated for the best director. "Adrian's tone It is full of taste of who we are, "I can guarantee the quality of the movie and the acting skills of the actors, so the rest ..."
Although he stopped here, how could Cola Fern not know what was going on, his breathing suddenly became a little quick, and he stretched his hands and pinched the bridge of his nose and looked at Adrian with unspeakable eyes.
"I never do useless work, every step I take into account the countless steps in the future, my eyes are on the future, and I believe in my eyes." Adrian put his hands up and made a footnote for this commentary, Of course, the last sentence is the focus of his words, "Terminator 2 will prove it."
Paula Fern was silent for a few minutes, and finally nodded: "I see."
"No, you don't understand." Adrian stared at him with a gaze. "What I really want to tell you is that I'm confident and I'm far-sighted, but I'm just a person anyway, and I might be able to see it better To more things, but it does not mean that I can see everything. So when you think you should say something, be sure to say it, there may be things that I may not notice, this is what I do Your trust. "
Laffern, who was a little embarrassed, finally reacted. After a long exhalation, he showed a serious expression: "Yes, I understand. I won't listen to you, say no to me."
德里 Adrien smiled slightly: "That's all for today. In addition, after Crow's integration is completed, you will be the CEO of Bosworth Films, and this seat will be yours."
He patted the chair under him, and jokingly said, "Even me, it depends on your face."
If it was a few minutes ago, La Verne might still be a little excited, but now he just said he knew.
"Yes, Ed," he suddenly thought as he was about to get up and leave. "The two reporters who called to want to interview you, how can I reply to them?"
"This ... let's decline it, anyway, I'm going to start a new movie again soon." Adrian gave this answer after thinking about it, "I'm not a big star, I will have a chance to say it later."
Actually, he doesn't mind being interviewed, although he prefers to stand behind the scenes. Since he chose to use the fastest method to accumulate fame and reputation, he is destined to attract a lot of attention. But that's definitely not the present. The reporters who come to the door are just those who are small and medium-sized newspapers. Because they couldn't grab the star news, they turned to him with a curious attitude and made two big-selling movies in one year. Director, hoping to attract some attention, he has no need to deal with them.
After all, the director behind the scenes can't compare to the star at the front desk, but for a maximum of two years, major TV stations will rush to invite themselves to an exclusive interview ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Adrian shrugged in his heart. Speaking of which he should have an agent, Crowe's movement was really slow.
Adrian didn't really take it seriously, and Claude had done a good job. For more than half a month, he had acquired a poorly run publishing company, and soon gave the first edition of the revised version of the Resident Evil novel to his hands.
Frankly speaking, the revision is very good. Some of the downside second-class writers who can still write suspense novels, and they know that they can not only add their name to the book, but also receive royalties. Two hundred enthusiasm, dedicated to help fill the loopholes in the novel, not to mention a lot of information, and wrote the composition of the T virus more like that. Although it can only be regarded as a popular pop novel at the peak of second-rate, it is enough to attract those passengers to buy one before boarding the plane-as for whether the plane is collected or thrown into the trash, then it doesn't matter. After making some comments, Adrian wondered whether he would give the other two books to the other party for revision.
The brokerage company is also in negotiation. Although the selected brokerage company is of medium size and the efficiency is not bad, it is not a problem to win. And Adrian also found several familiar names in the list of actors, directors, producers, etc. of this agency company, and Claude has done a great job.
Leave things to professionals you can trust, don't get involved. Adrian has always adhered to this approach. That's one of the reasons why he talked so much to La Verne and repeatedly emphasized the word trust.
(The state was not very good at the time of writing these chapters, so the quality declined, everyone forgive me, 俺 try to adjust)
