Adrian suddenly felt like he wanted to laugh. James Cameron in front of him was a little fanatic, like a robber who could finally move all his treasures. He yelled at countless cameras a few years later. I am the demeanor of the king of the world.

He was about to speak when the elevator door opened, and there was a hotel lobby coming and going outside.

Adrian smiled and made a gesture to James and Wendell: Why don’t we find a place to sit down and talk slowly.

The three of them came to the bar in the lobby, found a seat, so they asked for drinks and started chatting.

Instead of pulling Adrian to discuss investment issues as impatiently as in the elevator, James talked about the movie casually.

From "Terminator" to "Alien 2" to "Abyss" two years ago, James talked about everything, and even the difficulties he encountered when filming his first work "Pizzard 2".

Adrian, who had guessed some of his thoughts, also praised him just right, and introduced himself to him in a different way.

At the same time, I also learned that the reason I met James and Wendell here was because the production company also held a party at the Baccarat Hotel.

It's such a shame, Ed, I should have gone to the cinema to watch "Memory Fragments" before, it must be an excellent movie.

After listening to Adrian's introduction to his latest work, James sighed, and it is unknown whether it is true or polite.

You won't like that, James, you're more incest than editing techniques.

Adrian smiled and shook his head, just like you didn't hesitate to dive underwater for a few hours to film "The Abyss".

This is true.

James did not deny that the reason why I delayed the sequel to "Terminator" was because their skills did not meet my requirements.I remember I told you just now that the last fight with the robot in the first episode of "Terminator" was filmed frame by frame. If it were changed to this day, it would definitely not be so troublesome.

He suddenly became excited: Do you know, Ed, this time I designed a liquid metal terminator, T-1000 played by Robert Patrick, and T-800 played by Arnold Schwarzenegger will have wonderful action rivalry with him because of protecting young future leaders. 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, I can transfer the money to your account at any time if you want and the producer is fine.

As I take the liberty, Mr. Adrian, can I know why you must invest?

Wendell, who had not spoken, inserted it in at this time. As you said before, the company you took over has just improved, so there is no need to join.

Wendell's subtext is obvious. If you don't mention the high risk, 10 million is too little compared to 100 million. Even if the movie ends up making money, Adrian won't get much.

James hurriedly shook his companions, but Wendell seemed to have not seen it, staring at the young man in front of him without blinking.

In my opinion, the name James Cameron is worth investing.Adrian said leisurely.

James and Wendell were stunned by this. A few minutes later, James burst into laughter and stretched out his hand to Adrian: Then that's it, Ed!

But there is one thing I want to declare.Adrian, who was shaking hands with James, suddenly said again, with an unusual solemnity in his tone, only 10 million, and no matter how much it is, there will be nothing.

James couldn't help but be stunned, not knowing what Adrian was saying with a serious look on his face. He didn't react until Wendell next to him laughed, and then rolled his eyes and smiled bitterly.

Isn’t this investment really making much money?

How is this possible? This is the second part of "Terminator"!

Even if the box office remains the same, Adrian has nearly 1x profit, which is already pretty good.

Of course, his goal is not in this movie. Since God made him meet James Cameron here, he happened to meet the other party's financial troubles about "Terminator 2", it is really unreasonable not to invest emotionally.

James Cameron has only become a first-line director for a few years. What has made him firmly stand is the current production of "Terminator 2", which has reached the end of the production, so there is no better time than now.

Just think about how many technologies and records were born from this technical madman, and you will know that it is absolutely necessary to win over now, but...

As expected, as I remember, I have already started to burn money without any scruples when filming "Terminator 2". You can imagine how crazy this guy looks when he made the biggest investment movie in history a few years later.

On the way back, Adrian thought while driving.

However, this is nothing. The time is just right now. James Cameron will not be a problem. However, Spielberg, can he convince the other party without using the ace?

Don't worry, Holmes, I promise that the production of "Captain Iron Hook" will be completed as scheduled, so you don't have to be so anxious.

Spielberg reached out and pressed it in the air, as if he wanted the producer of Sony who was sitting on another single sofa.

Well, Steven, we are always in love, I don’t want to hide it from you, the company hopes that this movie will be released in the summer vacation.

Holmes sighed, you know, Peter Pan, Captain Hook, Wendy, the little fairy, the children's favorite.

Summer vacation?Unfortunately, Holmes, this is unlikely.

Spielberg shrugged, picked up the coffee in front of him and sipped. I still have a lot to be busy with, and I won't allow the movie's post-production work to be perfunctory.

How could it be perfunctory, Steven?Just speed up the progress a little bit.Holmes spread his hands.

We have worked together for a long time, Holmes, you know what I do.Spielberg didn't mean to let go at all. In fact, Christmas is also a good choice, isn't it?

Holmes stared at him for a long time: Is it because of that?We rejected investment?

How can you say this, Holmes!Spielberg frowned.

That's it, please, Steven, I know you've always wanted to make this movie, but no one would like it.Instead of spending money on it, donating it will be better.

Holmes shook his head stubbornly.

You're insulting me, Holmes!

Spielberg's tone became intense. For several years, I have never thought about handing it over to others, but no one is willing to take over it. Since that's the case, I will make and shoot it myself!It would be no big deal if they rejected me, but it was really disappointing for you to say such words now!

The two looked at each other for a while, and Holmes finally sighed and softened: OK, I apologize, Steven, I offended you, I'm sorry.

Spielberg also sighed, knowing that the other party had no malice: Let's just do it, Holmes.

That's it, Christmas time, I'll tell them.Holmes nodded, got up and left the office.

Watching the other person go out, Spielberg sat quietly on the sofa for a few minutes and didn't know what he was thinking. Then he got up and went to the back of the desk to read the documents.

At this moment, the phone on the table rang: Mr. Steven, here is Mr. Adrian Cowell looking for you, and he said he had a date with you.

Spielberg was stunned for a moment, and then realized: Yes, that's right, please come in.

Adrian Cowell.

He pronounced the name several times in his mind, and the scene that night immediately emerged in his mind.

He didn't want to go to the party, but Elaine called to invite him in person, which was really hard to refuse.

The young man gave him a good impression at first, being humble and polite, with decent behavior, and having his own opinions on people and things.

Moreover, he had watched the movie that has been praised by critics before. It was edited very well and told such a simple story so well. This young man is very outstanding and has potential, but he is a little utilitarian. He said so much to himself for the last sentence.

Thinking of this, Spielberg couldn't help but shake his head slightly. He didn't think that utilitarianism was a bad thing. He had been making movies for so many years and knew very well how realistic Hollywood was.

He just felt that the young man was a little impatient. If the other party was a little more stable and he would find an opportunity to talk about this next time, he would definitely think carefully. Now...

Hello Ed, I'm glad we're meeting 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's humble smile can easily make people feel good.

The two sat down on both sides of their desks, exchanged a few greetings and 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, right?Spielberg asked first.

Yes.Adrian nodded, then put the book he had been holding in his hand on his desk and pushed it in front of him. A science fiction novel about dinosaurs, very interesting.

About dinosaurs?Spielberg raised his eyebrows unconsciously, and when he picked up the book on the table and looked at it, he was immediately shocked.

"Jurassic Park" by Mr. Michael Clayton.

Adrian's voice rang again. When it was first published last year, I had someone contacted him, and finally got the right to adapt the movie after several twists and turns.Michael and I went through several calls and we agreed that it was the best choice for you to direct and produce the movie.
