Chapter 35 A good idea

9days ago Urban Novels 8
Time entered October 1994, and Adrian's life began to cycle again: later in the studio production of Forrest Gump, learning about and dealing with other aspects of the situation in the office and harassing Charlize, and dating different women.

The late episode of "Forrest Gump" is basically over. Although he only watched the roughest editing version, he knew that there would not be too many surprises, and the publicity work could also be started at the end of the month.

As for other movies, the aftermath of the summer vacation is still echoing. Whether it is "The True Lies", "Tornado", or "The Jedi Men", they are still in theaters, even if there are only more than 100.

"The True Lies" has already received a box office of about 150 million in North America, and "Tornado" has more, 100 million more than "The True Lies". Although "The Jedi Men" only has 70 million, it has already achieved excellent results, not to mention the overseas box office.

The two movies released at the end of the summer vacation period, "The Disguised Married", are also in good momentum. Although theaters have fallen below 1,000, the box office in North America has long exceeded 100 million; "Night Visit to Vampire" has not had much potential. Although the box office in North America has long exceeded 100 million, there are only more than 200 theaters left in two months. Vampire movies still have limitations after all.

Of course, similarly, overseas box office is not counted yet.

No matter what, this is a great harvest. Bothworth naturally gave a lot of bonuses. Xinshi and Miramax were jealous, so they became even more involved in the movies currently being prepared.

Because they are under the same company, they know that Bothworth Pictures has three or four more movies to be released at the end of the year.

In addition to "Forrest Gump", the late episodes of "Speed ​​of Life and Death" and "The Dead Valley" are almost the same. Adrian has seen the rough cut version of these two movies. Blanchett's performance in "Speed ​​of Life and Death" is remarkable. He has both typical women's scrutiny and the same typical women's perseverance. He is two completely different images from Sandra Brock. Adrian believes that Blanchett is definitely better than Brock.

Liv in "The Blade of the Head" is much worse than Christina Ritchie, after all, she does not have much acting experience.

But Liv's advantage is that she is several times more beautiful than Ritchie. Sitting there is like carved from jade, with a little naive and sad temperament. Tim Burton mastered this very well and expanded this advantage several times during the shooting. Every shot about her is very exquisite, and even the rough version still gives people an amazing feeling.

However, the movie "Blackhead Valley" requires too many special effects, and it is not five or six years later, so according to Burton's estimate, if it is completely completed, it will be at least Thanksgiving, so I'm afraid it won't be up to Christmas.

Adrian doesn't comment on this. It will be possible to decide on the specific situation at that time. If it really doesn't keep up with the promotion, it will be fine next year. Bosworth Pictures has released too many blockbuster movies this year.

However, "Little Woman" faces the same situation, but it is not possible. Because of various reasons, such as background clothing that needs to be carefully studied, and Adrian is not directed, so it will inevitably be delayed. It may be released before 1994, but there may be a discount on publicity.

Logically speaking, since the movie cannot be fully promoted, it is the right way to postpone the release of the movie if it wants to squeeze the greatest value of the movie, and there is already an example of "The Deadhead Valley".

But Adrian asked "Little Woman" to be released at the end of the year, and even if it cannot be released, it will be previewed in mainstream theaters for more than 7 days, because this is a necessary condition for the Oscar election.

He would have bought the adaptation rights of "Little Women" for the purpose of Winona's nomination for Best Actress. The best actor and actress in the past two years were all made by him, and this halo must be maintained.

Adrian has seen some trailers, and Winona's acting skills are still good, so it's no problem to get a nomination after a little operation.

As for winning the best actress?

Forget it, she is still too young. She can win the Best Supporting Actress at the age of 23, but she wants to win the Best Actress?

How can so many seniors feel?

Adrian didn't take it seriously. It was enough to have the nomination for Best Actress. As long as Tom Hanks wins Best Actor in this Oscar, his aura will not be reduced at all. By the way, he also sold his favor to Dennis and Winona.

But publicity is indeed a problem. Although many film companies do not consider the box office of the movie when arranging movies that will hit Oscars, appropriate publicity is still necessary.

After thinking about it, Adrian asked the producer of the company who supervised the Little Women to edit a good trailer early, preparing to release it before Thanksgiving, and try to do the preliminary publicity as much as possible. After the release, he can use Winona to get nomination for post-promotion.

In addition to these movies, there is also a movie being prepared in the UK that has always been paid attention to by Adrian. It does take a lot of time to prepare for "Brave Heart". He has read a lot of drafts on various clothes and environments, not to mention the rental of horses and castles, and various props production.

Although it is a bit troublesome, it will be very convenient to start shooting in the future, so Adrian doesn't care.

Looking at the team's seriousness, it is not certain that they will get the best clothing and best art director in 1996.

This is a matter of film. As for the record company, Super Boy is not very popular, but the development momentum is still good. During this period, a black female rapper and a male singer were launched, which are all quite OK.

Overall, the development of record companies is somewhat mediocre, neither very good nor bad.

Adrian originally planned to acquire another record company, but Cloud's sudden plan disrupted his plan and had to put it aside for the time being.

It doesn't matter, it's not too late to acquire it in two years, and it can also allow the record company to continue to accumulate experience and establish a good relationship with more outstanding music producers.

As for those two little guys, they were all in control, and after brainwashing for more than a year, they were all moving in the direction Adrian wanted to see.

Because Adrian kept showing obliqueness and repeatedly stated that he valued them very much, Christina already regarded Britney as her biggest opponent, desperately wanted to surpass her and want more recognition from Adrian.

As for Britney, the general process is to become proud because she is constantly praised. At this time, Adrian will praise Christina and criticize her. Britney who is hit will work harder to show herself.

If you repeat this and continue like this, I believe that Adrian will gain something in another two years.

Record companies are simpler, as are game companies and publishing companies.

The Silicon and Neural Bond Studio, which was renamed Blizzard, has received new capital injections, so "Warcraft: Humans and Orcs" was released two months in advance.

With Adrian, although this "Warcraft" has not changed much, it has been much more complete in details, and has also added a lot of Easter eggs about the background of trolls, night elves and Titan Creation.

So even though this real-time strategy game was accused of plagiarizing "Dune", the sales volume was still very good.

Seeing this, Adrian did not interfere too much and allowed him to develop freely. Anyway, the Vulture Studio, which is the future North Blizzard, has been registered with him.

As for the team that originally produced "Resident Evil", the progress was relatively slow. If it only runs on a computer, it had to consider a series of issues such as hardware and compatibility. However, the character design and scene basically conform to Adrian's idea. If there is no problem, it may be available for sale by the end of 1995.

As for "Tomb Raider" produced by Eids Studio, if there is no problem, it will be one point later than "Resident Evil", but Laura Crawford's figure may not be as plump and will be more beautiful.

Because Adrian gave Kate's photo to the studio and asked them to make character models according to this appearance and figure, the reason was that they were described as their girlfriend.

The studio did not object, even if it wanted to object, and for Adrian, he had the right to make his image as a woman a game character.

The publishing companies are just as mediocre as record companies. Although they have published several books with good sales after "Resident Evil", "Tomb Raider" and "The Matrix", there has been no major development in general.

Ben Arndt, who co-wrote "Resident Evil" and "Tomb Raider" with Adrian, has no good works, and is still between first-class and second-class. He wants to expand the plot with a few more "Resident Evil". Adrian still has a lot of ideas, but he has been opposed.

It’s better to spend a few years to meticulously write so much at once. You are not without strengths.

That's what Adrian said.

He originally had the intention to acquire a new publishing company and was a package of plans with the record company, but he was also interrupted by Claude. Even if the impact was not too great, he would still be a little depressed.

Fortunately, Rowling's book has been signed, and the two subsequent publishing companies have opened good contracts at Adrian's suggestion. If she is really grateful for her good operation, the company will inevitably go to several levels after these three books are published.

As TBS, one of the two most important parts of the career, "Millionaire" has brought very high popularity and ratings, and "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" has also attracted a lot of teenage audiences, and everything went smoothly.

On TNT, "Sex and the City" also began the final preparation stage, and the heroine chose Cindy Crawford with Adrian's insistence.

Generally speaking, such TV series should be used with actresses between the first and second tiers who have some qualifications but are not as famous as the first and second tiers. Supermodels or super vases like Cindy Crawford are not cost-effective.

Adrian doesn't think so. Anyway, it makes TNT make a gambler in making TV series, so he simply ends up in all aspects.

Cindy Crawford was one of the first supermodels, and his fashion sensitivity was definitely incomparable to Sarah Jessica Parker, not to mention that this TV series was not about acting, and it didn't matter if the pay was expensive.

So after Adrian came to the door in person and had in-depth and thorough communication with Cindy, the supermodel immediately agreed to appear, and the rest depends on the production situation of TNT.

As for Claude's new plan, no one knows it now except the two of them. The Godfather may have guessed something, but he won't be sure.

They still have plenty of cash and don’t need to raise funds immediately. In addition, Dinis is currently in the first round of negotiations with ABC. Even if it goes well, such negotiations will still take several times before they can come to a result. They have enough time, so it is better to start secretly first.

Like the acquisition of TBS, Claude has begun to make 49% acquisitions in batches through agents, but ABC's outstanding shares are not many. In addition, because Disney has announced the acquisition plan, the broadcaster's stock price has risen a lot and has fluctuated greatly, so the acquisition is not as smooth as last time.

It doesn’t matter, how much you can acquire is, and sooner or later there will be a head-on confrontation, at most, it will make us more confident.Claude didn't care, he had a complete plan.

Adrian has also read his arrangements, but he can still understand the amount in front, but he is a little confused afterwards.

According to a saying in my previous life, it is: Although I don’t understand what you are saying, I feel so powerful.

This is why I left it to Cloud. I have too many things to pay attention to, and this is not something I am good at, so why not pretend to understand?

Adrian leaned against the back of the chair, putting his legs on the desk, and said in a lazy tone as he looked at the ceiling.

Charlize, who was packing up next to him, gave him a look and said nothing, but asked casually, but he didn't expect that it would be a long speech. It would be a disaster. She admitted that she asked with a little ridicule, but it didn't take it for so long.

I've already arranged Kate's itinerary.Seeing that Adrian wanted to continue talking, Charlize handed the itinerary in time to him, another Kate.

Thank you, Charlie, you are really my good helper.Adrian took it and looked it up and said in admiration, Kate finally returned to Los Angeles, I thought she was going to stay in Melbourne until the end of the year.

As he said that, he sat upright and hugged Charlize, who was about to leave, into his arms: How do I want to thank you, Charlie?

Let me think about...why, let go of your hand and let me go out.

Charlize, who sat on Adrian's thigh and let his hands wander on his waist, thought about it and said in a serious tone.

What about besides this?Adrian laughed, put his hand on her thigh, and caressed the deep part of the skirt as the black lace slings.

You're crossing the line, Ed.Charlize reminded, but he didn't clamp his legs as he used to.

Don’t you think that sometimes, crossing the line is quite exciting?Adrian said with a smile, reaching his hands even further in, and sticking to the inside and upwards is the key area.

Sometimes yes, sometimes… not.Charlize closed his eyes and took a few quick breaths, then suddenly stood up.

Adrian rubbed his fingers and looked at her with regret on his face.

I know what you want to do, Ed.After walking a few steps to Charlize by the wall, he sorted out his skirt and gave him a blank look. Don't think I'll promise you.

I know what you're thinking, Charlie.

Adrian stood up and walked up to her, blinking his eyes sly. If you really want to consume your enthusiasm and curiosity, you should try the office passion.

Charlize looked at him, his breathing was chaotic for a few seconds, and then raised his chin and changed the topic: Sometimes I wonder if all women named Kate would think about sleeping with them.

Adrian laughed, rubbed his chin and replied with an irresponsible answer: By the way, how do you think I invited Kate to live in the villa?Anyway, she is just on vacation and will soon return to Melbourne.

This is your business.

Charlize shrugged and walked out. He was almost at the door before turning his head again. Don't worry, I will move out temporarily, you can live with her world with peace of mind.

It's really...

interesting.

Looking at Charlize's disappearing back, Adrian smiled meaningfully, and at the same time he had a little regret.

The ending that night was not as good as he wanted. I thought I could continue after dinner together, but who knew that the two women who were obviously a little tit-for-tat to each other had such a tacit understanding before.

The three of them were still sleeping in the same bed, but as long as Adrian touched one of them, the other would inevitably stop him by various coincidental methods.

Attack two at the same time?

They will inevitably hit the nail on the head and force him to be honest.

God testified that during the chat before going to bed, both women were still confronting each other with obscure words.

So, although I was very sexy and hugged me to sleep until dawn, I didn't do anything, which was really depressing. If I had known this, I would rather do it again while taking a shower.

Although this situation is useless again, even though Kate was taken back to the villa several times by him during this period, Charlize consciously avoided it. However, from their frequent chats and content, it can be seen that the relationship between the two is becoming more and more subtle.

They have a somewhat similar relationship with Monica and Julia, but there are also more differences.

Especially today he proposed to take Blanchett back to the villa. Charlize's reaction is really interesting. Adrian has brought Sarah, Liv and the others home, but when did Charlize move out temporarily?

Thinking about the scene where she and Kate hugged each other half-disguisedly, it was really tempting. Unfortunately, there was no camera in his hand at that time, otherwise how great it would be if the photo was taken.

Adrian sighed in his heart, and an idea popped up immediately.

His fingers knocked back and forth on the desk, and a smile emerged from the corner of his mouth.This is a good idea, Ed!
