It is a lucky thing to have a friend like Claude.
Thinking of this, Adrian shrugged, and then asked the waiter to continue writing and drawing on his notebook.
He was drawing a storyboard of his first movie. There were many movies with low costs and high box office in his mind, but no one was as low as the one he had.
He could actually go home and paint, but his original plan was to have dinner together after meeting Cloud.
But this guy actually said to him: I don’t want to have dinner with a man alone!
And before leaving, he joked with him: I really don’t understand why you always like to meet in this small and broken cafe.
Damn guy, where is this cafe small and broken?
Not only is it clean and tidy, but the service attitude and the scenery outside are also good. Besides, I have been here before...
Adrian thought a little about the unfairness of the cafe.
Then he was slightly stunned, then shook his head with a laugh.
The integration is really good, and I have been fully adapted after a few months, so it’s good that I don’t have to bear too much of the past.
Is this... your painting?A voice sounded next to it.
Adrian raised his head and a angular face appeared in front of him. He was about 18 to 30 years old. He was very handsome and had a sense of vicissitudes. I believe that he has attracted many women and men with special hobbies for this cafe.
He stared at the painting in Adrian's hand and didn't blink, and seemed to be attracted.
Any comments?Adrian asked curiously.
Oh no, nothing!The other party immediately reacted and filled him with coffee nervously. Sorry, would I apologize if I disturb you?Please don't... complain to me.
Adrian shook his head with a chuckle: I won't, but can you understand my painting?
Yes, sir.The other party nodded. Although the lines were simple, I could tell that you were drawing a movie storyboard.
Unexpectedly, Adrian, who could really see, suddenly showed a surprised expression, and the young man immediately explained: I have played several small roles in some movies, so I can roughly understand it.
Adrian was even more surprised and also became interested: Then what did you see?
Sorry, I just remembered some past events because of your storyboard, not seeing anything.
The other party said honestly, I have not reached the point where I can tell the quality of a movie through such a simple storyboard.
Some past events?If you don't mind... Adrian looked at his badge, Mr. Knight, can you tell me?
There is nothing to say, sir, I came to this city with my dream of a celebrity four years ago when I was sixteen years old, but four years later I could only work in a cafe to make a living.
Knight's tone was filled with a feeling of slut.
Adrian immediately showed a sudden look, and the Hollywood fame world is attracting men and women who long for overnight fame to join in.
Unfortunately, one of the 100 people became a contracted actor, but more people wanted to live by working after the dream was shattered.
However, with Dennis's qualities, it should be easy to win favor.
Adrian suddenly squinted his eyes.
Although he directed some small TV series before his rebirth, he still has a look at people based on so many movies he has watched.
Dennis is not particularly handsome, but he has a clear edges and a very angular taste. He is very malleable, especially since he is only 20 years old now. If you want to describe it as a true person, it is somewhat similar to Brad Pitt.
Judging from his bleak expression, he obviously experienced something.
Adrian shook his head secretly, perhaps out of curiosity or just joking, he blurted out: I am preparing for my first movie, and I need someone with performance experience to play the role. Are you interested in giving it a try?
Dennis, who was packing up his things, stopped immediately, looked at Adrian for a while and nodded: No problem.
Adrian raised his eyebrows in surprise: Are you not worried that I am a liar?
You are not like a liar, sir.He shrugged, even if that's what?Anyway, it won't be worse than now, you're not Gay.
This guy...
Fortunately, Adrian didn't bring the coffee into his mouth, but he became more interested in Dennis: Then let's just say that, this is my business card.Also, give me your phone number and I believe it will call you soon.
He snapped his fingers and showed an unfathomable smile: You are lucky, boy.From now on, as long as I want, I can promote anyone to become a superstar in the emperor!
********************
Lavern Meyer hurried into the conference room and sat down in his seat, then glanced at his colleagues. Although most of them looked expressionless, the burning feeling in his eyes could not be more obvious.
He couldn't help but sigh. No wonder, no one knew what the new boss would be about them when the company was acquired.
Thinking of this, Lafone felt a little sad. He has been the general manager of this film company for almost 7 years, and it is difficult to accept that the company was acquired by others.
Although Bosworth Film Company was young, it was established in the 1960s and has experienced several ups and downs. If it weren’t for the boss’s son who inherited the company and needed capital turnover, how could this experienced movie be sold?
With the sound of footsteps, a young man in his twenties to thirties appeared at the door of the conference room with a smile. The angular lines also had an indescribable softness, which added a bit of handsomeness to the rough face.
Hello, ladies and gentlemen.
The young man has made it his first place, I am the new chairman of Bosworth Films, Adrian Cowell.I know everyone is worried now. Maybe I will carry out drastic reforms, and maybe someone will lose their jobs because of this.However, I promise you here that I will not interfere with the company's business for at least half a year, nor will I easily dismiss any gentleman or lady present.
Although I was not sure how credible this was, and I also knew that the new boss had something to say next, everyone here, including Lavern, breathed a sigh of relief.
However, I will conduct an inspection of everyone here in the next six months. As long as you can get my recognition, I don’t mind giving you a raise.Of course, if you cannot achieve it, you can only say regret.
The new boss's words immediately made several people feel nervous and they all looked at General Manager Lavern.
Lavern hesitated for a while and was about to test it as everyone wanted, Adrian's voice sounded again: That's it today, Mr. Mel stayed, please go back to everyone else.
Soon, there were only two people left in the conference room, and even if they were not very big, they felt a little empty.
Can Mr. Lavern Mell call you Laver?Thanks.
Adrian smiled and nodded. I have read your information. You are an excellent general manager. If it weren't for the company's boards being too short, you would definitely have made a career.If possible, can you tell me why you, who was already Paramount's assistant to the president 7 years ago, suddenly resigned and then worked in such a small company?
The world is not fair, Mr. Adrian.
Lafen shrugged without saying much. He believed that since the other party had read his information, he must have some understanding of his experience at Paramount. As for why he stayed at Bosworth Film Company for 7 years, is it because my father and Mr. Bosworth had some friendship with Mr. Bosworth? Are you satisfied with this answer?
Very satisfied.Adrian laughed, OK, Laver, don't worry, I said that if you don't ask about the company within half a year, you will definitely do it.
If possible, can you reveal your plans to me?Mr. Adrian!Lavern asked at this time.
Adrian stared at him for a few seconds, then smiled slightly: It's very simple, I'm going to the UK to produce and direct a small-budget film, intending to complete the shooting and post-production within 2 months, and then send it to the Venice Film Festival in August to participate in the exhibition, so you have to help me arrange a few people familiar with the business.
Sorry, you mean... Lavern looked at Adrian in disbelief, he had no idea that the new boss would be someone who likes to make direct movies by himself.
You heard it right.
Adrian nodded vigorously, I will direct and produce a B-level film that costs no more than $200,000 in two months, and then send it to Venice for exhibition.And, while this is my first time as a director and producer, I believe the box office of this movie will definitely be hundreds of times the cost.
Sounds...very good.Lavern rubbed his head and could only say with a wry smile.
I know it's hard to accept verbal words, but in two months you'll see the facts, Lavern.
Adrian smiled and spread his hands out, let me reveal to you a little more. I will soon make my first capital injection into the company, and the acquisition of Bosworth Films is just the beginning.
Lafen didn't say anything, just watched quietly as Adrian waited for him.
You are a smart person, Lavern, I need the help of smart people.
Adrian sat upright, I hope you can ensure the normal operation of the company within the past six months, especially those connections and networks.
The general manager doesn’t believe the big talk of the new boss. He has been in this industry for more than ten years and has never seen anyone.
But from the last sentence, he still heard the other party's ambitions, and the confidence revealed in the language is unnecessarily ignored.
So after pondering for a few seconds, Lafone stood up and nodded: I am happy to serve you, sir.
Very good, so that's it.
Adrian knocked on the table and suddenly remembered something again. By the way, the script submitted to the editorial team can be made into a report, listed in the catalog and introduction and handed it to me once a week for review.
Speaking of this, he laughed: Don't worry, I just had some experience in the screenwriter. I just sold four scripts, and there were two waiting to be sold.
Thinking of this, Adrian shrugged, and then asked the waiter to continue writing and drawing on his notebook.
He was drawing a storyboard of his first movie. There were many movies with low costs and high box office in his mind, but no one was as low as the one he had.
