Chapter 47 Leave the matter to professionals

You are in charge of the rest. I just need Tim Robbins to play the leading role Andy, Morgan Freeman to play the supporting role No. 1, Reed, and Bob Gunton to play the supporting role No. 2, Warden Norton. That's it. Is there any problem?

Adrian, who was sitting in the head of the conference room, flipped through the folder in front of him and said.

The department heads in the meeting room where they were sitting looked at each other without saying a word. A few minutes later, the manager of the planning department nodded: I understand, Mr. Adrian, we will do our best...

I don't need to do my best, I need to be sure, do you understand?Adrian interrupted him.

Yes, sir, we will definitely.The manager immediately changed his words.

That's it, Lavern stays and the others can leave.Adrian made a gesture.

After all the people in charge left the conference room, Adrian looked at Lavern sitting on his left: Do you have anything to say to me, Laver?

Yes, some things about recent investments, but I think you will definitely stick to your opinions, right?Lafen shrugged, apparently already accustomed to Adrian's approach.

You are my general manager, Laver, so just say whatever you want, I'm happy to answer all your questions for you, which will be good for us.Adrian said slowly.

Understood.

Lafen nodded. I think the company has carried out too many projects at the same time recently, and the investment amount is also a bit too large. This is too risky. If you are not careful, you will suffer serious losses.Although I know you have sufficient funds, losing money is not a good thing after all.

So, what are you going to do?Adrian looked at him without comment.

What else can you do? You are the boss and you have made a decision.

Lafone sighed, hoping that the box office of "Memory Fragments" will be higher, and then the preparation time for "Jurassic Park" will be later.

Adrian laughed, and he heard the complaint in the other party's words: OK, don't worry, Lavern, although the mid-term box office of "Memory Fragments" is not good, it is now recovering. We have also made an estimate before that it will not be much different from "Two Smoke Bowls".After the release of "Terminator 2" in July, the 10 million investment invested before can be gradually recovered. At this time, Steven will definitely finish his work, so "Jurassic Park" will have to wait for August and September to start preparations at the latest. At this time, my "Shawshank Redemption" should be almost completed, just right, isn't it?

All you said is based on everything going well, Ed.

Lavern said bluntly, especially the box office of Terminator 2, you never seemed to think it would lose money.Yes, I admit that the first episode of "Terminator" has cultivated many fans, and I also believe that James Cameron can produce the second episode better than the first episode, but its total investment of $110 million is too large. Even if the box office is good, we can save the cost at most.

What if the global box office is more than 400 million?Adrian asked casually.

Lafen was stunned for a moment, smiled bitterly and didn't say anything else.

If the global box office really gets 400 million US dollars, the company will naturally make a lot of money back, but how many movies can get such a high box office in the global market?

Moreover, once the overseas market accounts for the majority, more will be distributed, and it is still a question whether the capital can be guaranteed.

I know you may not believe it, Laver, but I will never doubt my own vision.

Adrian spread his hands at this time. If he hadn't been worried about some problems, he would have said 500 million instead of nearly 400 million.

I am optimistic about James Cameron, and I am sure that he will bring us hundreds of times the benefits in the future.

Although Adrian said confidently, he did not make the bitter smile at the corner of Lavern's mouth disappear.

So after thinking for a few minutes, he suddenly changed the topic: Before, I asked you to buy the adaptation rights of a foreign movie and two novels. How is it now?

Well... Although I don't understand why Adrian mentioned this, Lafen still gave the answer after thinking about it. There will be no problem in Italy. King's College of Cambridge University has not yet given a reply, but I believe there will be no big trouble.The most important thing is Ms. Anne Rice, who doesn't seem to plan to hand over her novels to us.

What do you recommend?Adrian asked.

You know, women are relatively more emotional than men.

Lafone thoughtfully said, so the possibility of success will be greater after "Shawshank Redemption" is released.Of course, if you are in a hurry, I may get it at 80% but the price may be slightly higher.

You're really great, Laver.

Adrian clapped his hands, and to be honest, I didn't expect you to get "The Shawshank Redemption" from Stephen King so quickly, which is excellent.

Thank you, but I don't think you're just talking about this.The question was clearly written on Lavern's face.

Let me put it this way, Laver, "The Shawshank Redemption" will be my Oscar ticket next year, and I will make three movies in the next year, not necessarily these three. The last time I was robbed in a restaurant gave me a good idea.In short, at the Oscars of the year after year, I will win a Best Director and a Best Director on stage.

Adrian's tone is filled with the taste of anyone else, the quality of the movie, the acting skills of the actors, so the rest...

Although he stopped here, how could Lafon not know what the following words were? His breathing suddenly became a little rapid. He reached out and pinched the bridge of his nose and looked at Adrian with an indescribable gaze.

I never do useless work. Every step I take will take into account the countless steps behind. My eyes are all on the future, and I believe in my own eyes.

Adrian put up his hands to make footnotes for the commentary. Of course, the last sentence is the focus of his speech, and "Terminator 2" will prove this.

Lavern was silent for a few minutes, and finally nodded: I understand.

No, you don't understand.

Adrian's bright eyes were staring at him. What I really want to tell you is that I am confident and have vision, but no matter what, I am just a personal person. I may be able to see more than others, but it doesn't mean I can see everything.So, when you think you should say something, you must say it out, and there may be something I may not notice. This is my trust in you.

Lavern, who was a little stunned, finally reacted, let out a long sigh and showed a serious expression: Yes, I understand, whether you listen or not is up to me or not.

Adrian smiled slightly: Let's stop here today. In addition, after Crow's integration is completed, you will be the CEO of Bosworth Film Company, and this seat will be yours.

He said, patting the chair under him, and then jokingly said: Even if it is me, you have to act according to your expression.

If it were a few minutes ago, Lavern might have been a little excited, but now he just responded and said that he knew.

By the way, Ed.When he was about to get up and leave, what happened to him. How would the two reporters who called to visit you?

This... I'd better refuse, anyway, I'm going to start working on a new movie again.

Adrian thought about it and gave this answer, "I'm not a big star, so I'll say it later if I have the chance."

In fact, he didn't mind accepting the interview, although he would rather stand behind the scenes, but since he chose to accumulate fame and reputation in the fastest way, he was destined to attract a lot of attention.

But that is definitely not the moment. The reporters who came to the door were just people from small and medium-sized newspapers and media. They turned to him with a curious attitude because they couldn't grab celebrity news. They made two big-name movies in a year. They hoped to attract some attention. He had no need to deal with them.

After all, the director behind the scenes is not as good as the stars in the front desk, but for at most two years, major TV stations will rush to invite themselves to do exclusive interviews.

Adrian shrugged in his heart.

Speaking of which, I should have an agent, Crow's actions are really slow.

Regardless of his slander, Adrian didn't really take it to heart. Claude has done a good job.

In more than half a month, he had acquired a poorly managed publishing company and quickly handed over the first version of the novel "Resident Evil" after being revised and written by him.

Frankly speaking, the revisions were very good. The somewhat miserable second-rate writer who liked to write suspense novels, learned that he could not only add his name to the book but also get royalty sharing, and immediately burst out with 200% enthusiasm. He helped fill the loopholes in the novel. Not only did he read a lot of information, he wrote the composition of the T virus more like that.

Although it can only be regarded as a popular popular novel of the second-rate peak, it is enough to attract passengers to buy a copy before getting on the plane. As for whether to collect or throw it into the trash can, it doesn't matter.

After putting forward some suggestions, Adrian wondered whether to hand over the other two books to the other party to revise.

The brokerage company is also in negotiations. Although the brokerage company selected is of medium scale and has good benefits, it is no longer a problem to win it.

Moreover, Adrian also found several familiar names on the list of actors, directors, producers, etc. of this agency company. It has to be said that Cloud did a great job.

Leave things to a professional who can trust and don’t interfere at will.

Adrian has always insisted on this approach.

That's one of the reasons why he said so much to Lavern and repeatedly emphasized the word trust.
