King of Hollywood

Chapter 159 Party (1)

In the brightly lit villa, the rhythmic dance music fluttered back and forth, and the noisy sounds came and went one after another. Men and women are enthusiastically huddling together in the lobby, holding wine glasses or bottles in twos and threes, chatting, playing games, dancing, laughing, etc. while drinking. If it is not January, there will still be people in the outdoor swimming pool Lots of hot girls in bikinis frolicking in the water.

Even though the weather is relatively cold, the outdoors are still covered with decorative lights, and many people are walking and talking outside. Unassuming, noisy, lively, this is an American party.

"This is an American party, I hope you don't feel restrained, Emma." Adrian said to Emma Thompson like this, because there were too many people around him, he had to raise his voice.

"No, not at all." Thompson shook his head immediately, but after being watched by Adrian for a few minutes, he smiled wryly and raised his hands: "Well, it's really noisy."

"If you really think it's inappropriate, you can..." Adrian made a gesture and didn't continue.

"Thanks, I will." Thompson nodded.

Although it is nominally to celebrate "Scent of a Woman" won the Golden Globe Award for Best Drama Film, but in fact it is not the only thing to celebrate. After all, the movies that won the Best Drama Actor and Best Supporting Actress are all Presented by Bosworth. So except for Anthony Hopkins who did not attend the Golden Globe Awards dinner due to something, John Travolta and others were all on the invitation list. Emma Thompson originally wanted to decline, but Adrian kept persuading her.

"Come on, Emma, ​​haven't you ever attended an American party? Besides, everyone will go to it. It doesn't seem good to be without you." That's what he said.

That being the case, Thompson had no choice but to agree. Of course, she had attended an American party, and she didn't like it, but she didn't hate it either, but it seemed a little noisy tonight. Adrian obviously saw this too, so he took the time to ask and told her the above remarks.

Of course there were more than three, oh, four cast members, crew members, and many others besides them. For example, the person in charge of a film company, or the agent of an actor, and the partners and friends they brought.

"Hi, Eric, how do you feel?" Adrian came to the Disney department manager Eric Cahill and shook hands with him, who was talking to Laverne at the moment.

"Hey Ed, it's a pity you didn't win the Golden Globe for Best Director," Eric patted his arm.

"Thank you, but it's okay, at least we got the best feature film." Adrian waved his hand indifferently.

"Of course, you have to know that you have received two nominations. If you can't get the best feature film in this way, the media must question the credibility of the Golden Globe Awards." Eric said flatteringly.

This is one of the reasons why when the nominations for the Golden Globe Awards were announced, the media would say that Bosworth Films was in the limelight. Both "Scent of a Woman" and "Howard's End" were nominated for the best drama film. For the first time in the history of the award.

"How come, I believe that the judges of the Golden Globe Awards are all fair in their selection." Adrian laughed, he didn't want to talk about this, and then changed the subject and asked: "By the way, you just now What are you talking about?"

"Some things about movies," Laverne said at this time, "I just talked about "The Ghost Horse Fairy"."

"I think that if Ed has a similar script, we can cooperate again." Eric said bluntly. Although the previous "Ghost Horse Fairy" only took 120 million box office in North America, it seems It doesn't seem to make much money, but the overseas box office has exceeded 200 million. Disney naturally wants to make persistent efforts.

"Really, there is indeed a script that is very suitable for Disney." Adrian said directly without even refusing.

"Really?" Eric suddenly showed a look of surprise.

"Of course," Adrian nodded, "I found a script in the editorial department of our company by chance. It is very interesting. According to my judgment, it will be a good movie if it is produced, but because There are many things to be busy, and I have never had time to take action, so it seems to be a good choice to let you handle it now."

"It's also a family carnival type?" Eric asked.

"No, the scale is a bit bigger, but it's still suitable for the whole family to watch," Lavern explained in the narration, "Simply speaking, a person who was kicked out by his family because of a mistake at work, and at the same time was taken away by his wife. In order to be with their children all the time, a man with power has to pretend to be a woman and come to the door to apply for a nanny.”

As he spoke, he glanced at Adrian secretly, and Adrian smiled back at him.

"That's interesting, sounds a bit like Dustin Hoffman's "My Fair Lady"?" Eric asked with great interest, "When can I see the script?"

"I'll let Laffer arrange it as soon as possible. After all, we have had a very pleasant cooperation and will continue to cooperate happily, right?" Adrian said with a smile.

"Of course, we are the best partners." Now that his hands were stretched out in front of him, how could Eric not hold them.

"That's it, you go on, I'm sorry for the time being." Adrian nodded and left.

The movie I just mentioned is "Slim Dad" starring Robin Williams. According to the original trajectory, this movie was released at the end of 1993, so the filming time should be quite early, but Now the script is in the hands of Adrian, and he has the final say on when to shoot.

Speaking of which, it was very unexpected that this script would fall into his hands. When filming "Memento", because of Joe Pantoliano, Adrian thought of "Alone on the Street", which imitated "Home Alone", it seems that this movie also won a good box office, but writing When it was handed over to the company's screenwriters and producers after watching it for a third, most people thought it was intentionally interesting, but it was a little exaggerated, and too many coincidences would reduce the viewability.

Although Adrian didn't take it seriously, he still searched carefully in his memory. Because there were enough clues, he didn't spend too much time finding something in the corner. Indeed, as they say, the movie lost a lot. This incident made him a lot more vigilant, and if any ideas popped up suddenly because of certain things in the future, he would definitely remember them carefully before making a decision.

In addition, Adrian also strengthened the review of the scripts submitted to the editorial department, although as early as after he acquired Bosworth Films, he asked Lavern to submit the submitted scripts to him every week. But basically, I only watch it once a month. After this incident, the review became once a week. It didn’t take much time. Just make a form and write the name and general content on it, and hand it over to him. If you have an impression, ask the assistant to read it in detail.

Then, Adrian found the script of "Slim Dad" when he reviewed it for the first time. Good sign, isn't it? It was just because he had already started the trilogy in 1992 at that time, so he had to buy it first and put it aside, but it turned out to be put at the end of the year as soon as it was released.

Lavern originally planned to ask his own company to produce the film, and it was estimated that the budget would not be very high because there were many indoor scenes. So when Adrian told Eric that a script would fit, he gave him the wink.

But Adrian didn't take it to heart. There are plenty of movies that make money, and he doesn't need to be limited to this one. Now he needs to make some ideas for Disney, so it's okay to hand them over to operate. Anyway, as a partner, Bosworth Films is not unable to invest, and it will also have a lot of voice.

The heat of the party has continued, and the living room and the outer courtyard are basically overcrowded. However, although it is so lively, if you are not careful, some accidents will happen, such as——

"Be careful" Adrian at the top of the stairs rushed forward and hugged the girl who fell down because of a sprained foot. Although he grabbed her, he couldn't maintain his balance, and the whole person stepped back several times He took a step, and stopped after hitting his back against the wall with a light sound.

"It's okay, it's okay here." Although his back hurts, he still smiled at the people around him.

"Sarah, how are you?" Roselan hurried down the stairs, reaching out to take the daughter in Adrian's arms.

"Wait, Rose," Adrian stopped her, "Sarah doesn't seem quite right."

The face of Sarah Michelle Gellar in his arms turned slightly pale, and she seemed to be unable to stand firmly on him.

"What's wrong? What's wrong?" Roselan said in a panic, a little lost.

"Don't worry, Sarah may have sprained her ankle," Adrian said, hugging Sarah horizontally, and strode upstairs, "I'll take her to the room, please find Kate, Luo Ruth, tell her to come to room 16 with the first aid kit."

Stumping up to the second floor, he came to room 16 briskly. After opening the door and entering, he was about to put down Sarah in his arms. Only then did Adrian realize that the other party had wrapped his neck around his neck at some point. Leng Leng looked at him.

"Sarah?" he tried calling.

Sarah's body shook slightly, and then she reacted and struggled to get off the ground: "Yes... I'm sorry, I just..."

"Okay, don't talk yet, sit down and let me have a look." Adrian didn't say much, and gently put her on the chair, then squatted down and lifted her sprained leg into his arms , and then took off the shoes and socks.

"Ai... Ed... I... I..." the girl cried out a little at a loss.

"Don't worry, nothing will happen." Adrian seemed to have heard nothing, grabbed her foot and carefully observed the ankle, and after a few minutes he raised his head and smiled: "Okay, it's just a little red , Fortunately, there is no major problem, and I can continue to walk after a little rest."

"Um... ah... thank you." Sarah lowered her head in embarrassment, as if she didn't dare to look at him. ()
