Vol 3 Chapter 7: Take a long-term view

"In a sense, you and David Finch are very similar. Steven, you are the kind of people who like to walk between art and business. The difference is that David wants to Find an unbiased path in commerce, and you divide them apart. You only think of commercial films as a kind of adjustment. In the end, you have to return to art.
Which good statement is that everyone has the status of each person, everyone has the characteristics of everyone, without this quality, any good director will be lost.
The Fox Searchlight gave up the script because of a 50 million investment and a series of problems. It was definitely a wrong decision. It is similar to the documentary's sub-lens. It is a story that is multi-line and simultaneously connected. I can see the value in it. I believe the film was made. It will be very good, as long as it ’s not touted by you, Steven, some people say that I have a pair of extremely precise eyes. Although it is a bit exaggerated, I still have some confidence in my eyes.

This is Adrian's words. Although he always lazily leans on the high chair, the words are very sincere. So Soderberger has no reason to refuse, and he got the script in the Fox searchlight. Up
"I always look forward to working with you, Mr. Adrian, and I will prove your opinion." Soderberger did not mean anything at all.
Luck is really good. After discovering the script of the drug network and waiting for the other party to leave, Adrian sighed in his heart to know that there are countless scripts received by several movie companies every day. Even he cannot finish it in a short time. Fortunately, someone wrote a simple search software to help him find the script of the popular movie in his memory
Even so, I almost missed the drug network. If I had not just opened the script directory starting with "t", I looked at it a little more and thought of the content.
It ’s just still considering the film for Zeta Jones ’s movie. The box office is also good, meets the conditions agreed at the beginning, and the role is very suitable for her. Although there are not many plays, there is not little room to play, maybe you can get one. The best supporting actress was stimulated by her. Adrian closed her eyes and thought, of course, the official role had to be changed to a talent line. Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, Kevin Costner, etc.
And this is a double-edged bird. While solving the role of Zeta Jones, it also drew Steven Soderbergh. Adrian had promised him that after the film was completed, there would be further cooperation. Of course , You need to hurry up and get the remake right of the movie 40 years ago
Soderberger had been away for several minutes, and Adrian was still lazily leaning on the high-backed chair with his eyes half open, and seemed to enjoy it. After a while, he suddenly took a nap, and then exhaled with satisfaction.
A whispering voice started to sound under the desk, and then Penelope, with dark brown hair, wearing a dark jacket and skinny jeans, crawled out with hands and feet. There was some white liquid on the face, and the face was crimson. It's watery, and her lips are slightly open and her throat is shaking slightly, making her look unusually charming.
"I told you Ed, you can't get on my face." Although she complained, she seemed to be inviting merit
"It's my fault, but your suction is too great, so you can't count the time, so ..." Adrian shrugged and smiled.
Penelope snorted softly, shaved his face with his fingers, put it in his mouth, and sucked, followed by licking the corner of his mouth, crawling in front of him with a wink, grabbing the wet thing, and opening his mouth to clean stand up
Adrian made a comfortable hum, and had to say that this kind of feeling of letting a woman perform tongue service below when talking with others was really exciting. No wonder he bought a large desk from the beginning, but Although Penelope did a good job, what he missed most was Nicole's time.
"Dinner together at night?" After Penelope had finished packing, Adrian squeezed her waist and asked with a smile. So far, he is quite satisfied with the Spanish girl, and maybe he can consider her The bed companion is raised into the collection, just like Alexander, so that the European side will add another piece.
"Although I just had a full meal ... I'm happy to be there" Penelope smiled charmingly, and the sultry style was undoubtedly revealed
"Maybe you should change my role," she suddenly said again.
"Why, did you encounter anything on the stage of Do and Passion?" Adrian raised an eyebrow.
"No, but this is basically a male movie. Women are completely vases inside, whether it's me or Jordana." Penelope sighed
"Yes, but I told you, Pepe, what you need now is business value," Adrian reached out and squeezed her cheek. "In commercial movies, most female characters are vases— —Don't worry, I will give you a suitable role in the second half of the year. Now I have a lot of work to do, and there is an important acquisition case to start next Wednesday. "
Penelope raised his eyebrows subtlely, and then laughed: "Okay, then I leave first, remember to call me"
Talking about turning and swaying, he left Adrian's office
The closing sound rang behind him, and Penelope's smile faded a lot. He glanced at the secret office, the blonde girl was immersed in her work, and she was too lazy to lift her head, apparently knowing what happened to Penelope humming Sound, stepped forward, I could not help thinking of the meeting a few days ago
A few days ago, at a party hotel in Pasadena,
"This is our Sony record, Mr. Thomas Mottola, Miss Penelope," said a Japanese-American named Sam Tanaka who introduced Penelope.
"Hello, Mr. Mottola," the Spaniard held out her hand.
"Please call me Thomas or Tommy, beautiful lady. You are like the stars in the sky." Mottola said politely, the gentleman leaned down and kissed the back of her hand
Tanaka immediately walked away and Penelope talked with Mottola. They had to admit that this man was very funny and talkative. They talked a lot about topics from music to movies. Mottola had a lot of opinions. Her appetite is not that Penelope is a stupid woman. She soon realized that the other party seemed to be guiding her to speak, and at a glance, the people at the party around were also far away from here, and it seemed that they had intentionally left space for them.
"I think you want to say more than that, Thomas?" She asked suddenly, still keeping her own reserved smile.
"Of course," Mottola admitted without hesitation, apparently intentionally. "Actually I want to ask you a favor"
"I haven't been to Hollywood for a long time. I'm not familiar with everything here. Many things are managed by an agent. If it's too big, I'm afraid it won't help you," Penelope said.
"You are very visionary, Penelope," Mottola smiled, and suddenly changed the subject. "Hollywood is the most dazzling film factory in the world. As long as you can succeed here, you will gain countless benefits and honors. But this is not an easy task. Countless potential European actors have been here, but what they have left behind is always numbered. They lack opportunities. They need more opportunities than native American actors. This is very helpless but Things you have to face, so how to fight for opportunities is the first lesson they will learn after arriving in Hollywood. "
"It's true, but I believe I will get the chance, maybe I have already won it." Although Penelope maintained his manners, he showed a little disapproval-or intentionally revealed it
"Yes, of course, the director of miracles has indeed done a lot of miracles, and it is bound to continue to create them. This is a fact recognized by Hollywood," Mottola said looking at her straightforwardly. "However, on average, every woman can How much do you get? Mr. Adrian has more than just a few women like Miracle Girl, besides each woman has a different weight in his heart. "
Penelope was slightly discolored, but Mottola didn't stop: "Maybe you can get enough benefits from him, but also after exhausting time and energy and the best years of a woman, He just gave you something like a reward. In my opinion, the possibility of the latter is quite high. You have missed the best opportunity, Miss Penelope. "
"I suddenly thought it was a wrong decision to chat with you, Mr. Mottola," Penelope sneered, even his title changed. "It's a pity that you can only be annoying when you talk like this"
"No, no, Penelope, you misunderstood," Mottolaha laughed. "Yes, I like chasing beautiful women. This is without a doubt. This is the nature of men, but I Now I have a formal girlfriend, and I will never maintain a relationship with several women at the same time. This is my principle. I said it from the beginning. Penelope, I just want to ask you to help busy"
Penelope raised his eyebrows and did not speak
"In the past ten years, the media industry has made great progress, and various acquisitions and mergers and acquisitions occur every day. Now, we at Sony Records have a big plan, and unfortunately, the media also sees our goals, so I think "Ms. Penelope may be able to provide something we are interested in," said Mottola with a smile.
"Me?" Penelope smirked. "You're kidding me, Mr. Mottola, I'm just an actor, not something ..."
"No, I'm not kidding. I do want to ask Miss Penelope to help with this," Mottola put on a serious look. "If you agree, you will get the friendship of the entire Sony Group."
Friendship across the Sony Group? I have to say, this is a price full of temptation, Penelope could not help but look, but she sneered again quickly: "Is it?"
Of course, if you want, I can immediately arrange for Ms. Amy Pascal Sony-Columbia Pictures c, and even Mr. Howard Stringer from the United States Sony c to meet you "Mottola raised her hands and waited for her to answer Continued: "This is just a very small and very busy work. You don't need to peek at Adrian's documents or deliberately inquire about anything. You only need to guide the topic slightly when you are with Adrian. , Just tell us about himself and his schedule. "
He laughed: "Sometimes the is not tight at all. I believe it should be easy to do this with the beauty and wisdom of Miss Penelope. At that time you just need to use a stranger and only one another. Knowing email and contacting us is very risky, you do n’t need to worry about it. Besides, we have other channels.

Mottola was not polite at all, which made Penelope very unhappy. She looked at him blankly: "What do you think, Mr. Mottola? Although I don't have much feelings with Adrian, but also Won't do this kind of thing "
Sony Records wasn't angry, just looked at her with a smile: "Really? Then what do you think, if I leaked the conversation between you and me today to Adrian, what would he think?"
Penelope suddenly took a breath and glared at him, and Mottola spread his hand: "If you really think so, you should turn around without hesitation when you hear this proposal. I don't want to threaten You Miss Penelope, I just want to tell you that this is a good deal for you. This is the best way to achieve your goals. Even if you can please the miracle director, how much benefit can you get? The best time has passed. The few women who have the closest relationship with him now, which one did not associate with him before he developed? The other one gave birth to a child with many women. It ’s not difficult to do this fight, or get our full support, right?

It is not difficult to make Penelope out of the building and sit in her car, close her eyes and breathe out. If there is still a little hesitation these days, then the previous temptation is enough for her to make a decision
"He looks at me like he's looking at a pet," Penelope said, looking at the rearview mirror. "What commercial film is my choice, but it's an excuse. It's your own word, it's ... God ’s arrangement "
She repeatedly said this to the rearview mirror as if persuading and escaping, then rubbed her face, took a deep breath again, and then clenched her fists, her eyes were full of ambitious ambition
"Yes God's plan"
Adrian is still busy with all kinds of things. Although it is still more than half a month before the bones are turned on in winter, all things must be handled properly.
"I have to admit, this is indeed a very attractive script, almost ... it was tailor-made for me, I really don't know how to thank you, Ed." There was a pleasant female voice on the phone
"Thank you in my favorite way, Sophie?" Adrian Haha, sitting with a cellphone in the back seat, laughed
"Don't even think about it, Ed" Sophia murmured softly.
"Hey, I'm serious, otherwise I'll let the driver turn around and go to your house," Adrian said teasingly. "I can't wait to press you on the bed, table, or sofa."
"If you say that again, Ed, I'll hang up right away."
"Okay, just like that script. Remember to call me when you are ready to film. I have already decided on the heroine."
"Really, that girl is in your hands again"
"You should have seen, Liv Tyler, this is a script tailored for her-of course, for you."
"You really speak, Ed"
"So, take the time to meet with me and her. Maybe I can put you in bed together."
"Ed"
Sofia's roar hasn't passed yet, Adrian has shut down the phone and laughed again
After ending the shooting of Lord of the Rings, Liv has not accepted the movie so far. Although there are many invitations, but her role is not very suitable. She is too tall and beautiful, except for the vase or the vase, Adri Ann's design for her is also a vase, but it is a vase in literary movies.
The innocent script for her now is a Belgian film that Adrian has seen in previous lives. It is similar to most European films. It is loosely structured and lacks a clear theme. Most of the pictures are full of plausible allegories. However, the picture is pretty beautiful, and from the whole story, it should be about girl growth, so it should be very suitable for Sophia Coppola
As a result, there is no need to say any more ~ ​​EbookFREE.me ~ Sofia likes it very much, so naturally the next step is to prepare for the filming, just because her director's works are not many, she can also add some director's experience and qualifications
It seemed like a good idea to bring Sophia and Liv to bed. The director and the actor got together with Adrian, who thought to get off the car. But Liv and Blanchett and Gwennis had been playing hot for a week. Former reason and feelings started in London, and she also went to play with it deliberately. I do n’t know what to say. Fortunately, Sarah is now mixing with Kate and Charlize most of the time. It doesn't matter if you separate
After walking into the building from the parking lot, he immediately put away his thoughts. He came here today and came to Marvel Comics' film production headquarters in Los Angeles in order to allocate and use the resources of Marvel Comics series heroes.
"Gentlemen, frankly, I think you are a little conservative. Spider-Man's success has made everyone see the amazing potential. So why can't X-Men be more atmospheric?" A surprising group of executives from New York said, "Reset the whole series to match the movie, deepen the relationship between the characters, etc., you want to make it as a series of movies. In the long run, for example-"The Avengers" is to be continued
