King of Hollywood

Chapter 132 Training on Both Sides

There is no doubt that the movie that Adrian discussed with Drew and Cameron is the "Thunderbolt", which was adapted from the TV series that was once popular in the 1970s. Before the film production company A was in charge of for Drew's film production company, "A Certain Country" was released before the summer holidays, just before and after "I Know What You Did Last Summer", and the results were pretty good.

Drew, who has tasted the sweetness, naturally wants to make persistent efforts. Her film production company is very small, and the entire company only has more than ten people. Although it cannot be called a leather bag company, it is relatively simple. In fact, such small companies are everywhere in Hollywood, and they are basically established by stars. Such production companies are not considered formal, but they have one advantage. When needed, they can get an investment based on the star's fame and care, and then contact the director. Produce with various teams, anyway, there are quite a few relatively independent teams in Hollywood.

Of course, most of the films these companies can produce are films with medium to small investment. If they sell well, they can make a lot of money, and they won't lose too much. But the downside is that these small production companies have to rely on big companies to survive. In fact, even those established by popular big names like Tom Cruise, Tom Hanks, and Jodie Foster have all employees All production companies need this, not to mention ordinary first-line stars.

So Drew chose Adrian. As for why she didn't choose her godfather, after all, DreamWorks was ambitious. From the moment it was established, it was clear that it wanted to become the eighth largest film company in Hollywood. That's the case, besides, Spielberg helped her a few times at the beginning, but Drew had his own calculations.

How should I put it, sometimes the title of godfather is not so sacred. If it is a love affair accumulated over generations like the Kewell family and the Ron Rees family, such a godfather will naturally treat his godson like his own child , just look at how old Ron Rees supported Adrian. But if Spielberg likes Drew because of his outstanding performance in "et" and then recognizes her as a teacher, although there will be a lot of care, there will always be differences.

This is why Spielberg no longer cares about her after helping Drew several times and being disappointed, and why he only hinted at Gwyneth without stopping him, knowing that Adrian has many women.

Drew still keeps in touch with the godfather, but she can return to the position of a quasi-first-line actor, mainly thanks to the help of Adrian, especially the Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Female, which played a big role. Coupled with Adrian's more famous name, and the good results in "One ěn Settlement", she naturally knew which one to choose was more beneficial to her.

Besides, she has something that Adrian is interested in, and she doesn't care about this little effort at all. Don't think she is just a young girl, but what kind of things haven't been seen? And the vast majority of women in this circle also have this attitude towards this. What's more, although Adrian likes to play high and high on the Internet, he always has a good attitude towards women. At least she can feel the martial arts from him. Jiuchongtian's strongest abandoned young master Zhou's royal family will kill the gods at night to seek the throne of the gods The god-making general kills the gods at night, seals the throne of the gods, seeks the demons, proud of the world, the ninth heaven, the strongest, abandons the young, and the royal family of the Great Zhou to respect.

So, after trying his best, Drew obtained the production rights of "Piliba" from Adrian.

From the beginning of the birth of action movies, the protagonists of fighting are all men. Hong Kong movies are better in this respect, and there are more or less female actors who are famous for their actions, but there are very few in the United States. After all, it is impossible to let a Didi go Shall I engage in a rough wrestling? Even in the original "Charlie's Angels" TV series, the three female protagonists used equipment and wisdom to solve problems more often.

This is why the movie version of "Piliba" will be very popular after it comes out. After being designed by a professional action director in Hong Kong, the fighting of the female protagonists is both powerful and fast, which is pleasing to the eye, as if blown into an action movie. It was a breath of fresh air, so the later 7 series Bangnvlang also began to develop in this respect.

Adrian, who knew something about these, took advantage of his foresight to contact and negotiate the adaptation rights of the TV version early, just like he won the adaptation rights of those novels. But there was a small song in the middle. Because of Adrian's famous name, the other party doubled the price after knowing that the director of Miracle wanted to adapt the TV series into a movie. At that time, the media had not yet begun to acquire, and even Disney had just begun to explore.

"This is a work that Director Miracle is optimistic about. I think as long as this is publicized, there will be a lot of people who want to sell the copyright." The representative said with a smile at the time.

Well, this is actually a joke, they just want to use this method to fight for greater benefits for themselves, and the conditions finally reached are not harsh, the price is a little higher than the initial one, and they did not transfer but kept the film in The right to broadcast, it can be said that the other party is still very good at doing business. Of course, after being acquired, this matter became a joke.

However, this matter still sounded the alarm for Adrian. People from other film companies have never given up asking what he is paying attention to. Although some important film adaptation rights have already been obtained, there will always be omissions. If It is more or less troublesome to be robbed of important copyrights by other companies accidentally.

What's more, we can't expect everyone to understand how to choose. The other party agrees while revealing 1ù, and it is possible that several companies will compete with each other in the end. So I should also make some preparations, such as arranging an independent producer who seems to be completely unrelated to me to be responsible for purchasing various film copyrights.

In the beginning, Adrian didn't intend to give the movie to Drew Barrymore. It's not that there are no suitable people around him, and he will have to wait for a year and a half at most. But Drew immediately asked him out after the release of "One ěn Settlement" and tried his best to curry favor with him. Those UA tricks were only unexpected and none dared to use them, and they played thoroughly.

Although some of his wives were trained well, Adrian never forced them, so some things had never been tried. When she was in Japan, Takako Tokiwa served well, but with her small body, some ua moves couldn't bear at all, so Drew's actions made Adrian very happy.

Since the other party has made a contribution, of course I have to express it. Besides, "The Thunderbolt Baby" was originally Drew's work, so Adrian naturally took it out "generously". He even invited Cameron Diaz to be one of the female protagonists, and suggested that the third female protagonist be an Asian actor.

Probably because of the similarities in personality, love to play, be young and have no scruples, Drew and Cameron basically hit it off, and after a few sexual encounters, they became good sisters who talked about everything. Ann did not hide such a thing. Although when they first met, the two women knew that the other party must have had a relationship with Adrian, and both of them were in the category of friendly matches, but the unreserved love experience seems to be a bit too much.

These are what Drew told Adrian. In fact, Adrian played threesome with them and Drew also contributed to it. Although there are also factors that Cameron doesn’t mind playing a friendly match with Adrian, there is no such thing as Drew’s go-between. , but not so fast, there was even a big battle in Drew's office. To be honest, it feels quite good, one is full of sense, the other is just right for skinny, they complement each other perfectly and have a special taste.

I have to admit that Drew, who is three years younger than Cameron and has no father who is a manager in an oil company, has experienced a worse life and understands Adrian's value better. Not only brought Cameron together in the name of "trying", but also pulled Adrian to let him invest in the film in the name of ī person - not much but can show Drew's attitude - and even invited him Served as casting director.

That being the case, Adrian, who enjoyed the benefits, did not refuse, and immediately helped to contact a better production team, selected a director and discussed it, and seriously considered suitable Asian actors.

To be honest, if Yukie Nakama is not too young, and her acting skills have not reached the average level for the time being - the audition arranged for her before was not very effective - it would be a good idea to let her show off her role in "Thunderbolt Baby" Nice arrangement.

Adrian has also considered female actors in Hong Kong. After all, they are more experienced in action scenes. , you may not be willing to come to Hollywood, and even if you come, it will take a long time to get it done, so forget it.

After much deliberation, he can only focus on the United States, let alone the original version of Liu Yuling, which does not conform to his aesthetics at all. And after the news of the audition was released, the office in charge was filled with applications like a flurry of applications. Although the crew did not specify who was in charge of casting, how could those flexible agents fail to find out? The Asian female actors who were originally in the second and third tiers were ecstatic. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Everyone knows that if they can get on the boat of the director of Miracle, even if they can't compare with those big names, it is very possible to jump to the first tier. .

However, after thinking for a long time and auditioning for several days, Adrian couldn't find a suitable candidate. He was desperate for the casting assistants of the crew. He really didn't know what was wrong with their aesthetics. Adrian could only sigh incessantly. Although many of these girls looked pretty, but beauty was not the only factor, he had to integrate many things, and what he said to Drew in the office was not an excuse.

In addition to being beautiful, acting skills are definitely needed. Even if the three female protagonists of "Piliba" are all ua bottles, they are also ua bottles that can express themselves. Secondly, you must be able to deal with people. Although the United States is legally non-discriminatory, and there are many anti-discrimination civil organizations, but if you really want to discriminate against you in your heart and exclude you, what else can you do? Unless you can get tangible evidence, it's useless to go to court.

Liu Yuling would be at odds with Drew and Cameron, and would quarrel in the crew, which was more or less a factor, so Adrian needed to find an Asian female actor with more experience. This is actually not difficult, all it takes is a matter of time, there are not many other actors in Hollywood, and there are many actors who want to fight for opportunities, even if they are of Asian descent.

"You know, I really like the way you comb your hair back," Adrian, leaning on his head and bare chest, looked at the girl sitting beside him and said with a smile. An oriental flavor."

I just put on my shirt and combed out my hair. A pair of plump and soft women who were still outside raised their eyebrows in surprise, and then smiled softly: "Thank you for your compliment, Ed, in my opinion , there is no man who is more gentlemanly and contradictory than you, both gentle and domineering, no wonder so many people fall for it

Adrian smiled and said nothing, reached out and pinched the opponent's chin to watch, while the opponent turned his upper body and raised his chest to let him watch, as if he was very proud of it.

Although there is a quarter of blood, it is not the same as a complete Chinese after all. Adrian chuckled inwardly. If you watch Takako Tokiwa or Yukie in the middle like this, they will usually lower their heads shyly, and then hug their ng mouth unconsciously, while Kate and the others will spread it out for him to see enough, this is the style of women from east and west the difference.

Of course, Japanese women do not necessarily represent Asian women, and there are also bold and unrestrained women among Asian women, especially in entertainment circles, but most of them are influenced by Chinese culture, and Asian women are relatively more reserved superior. Although the girl in front of me has a quarter of Chinese blood, she was born in Hawaii and received an American education. There is not much difference in style from American girls.

Yes, the nv actor selected by Adrian is Kelly Hu, who once won the Miss Hawaiian Beauty Pageant. Although beauty pageants can be seen almost everywhere in the United States, many small towns hold beauty pageants every year, but to be able to win the Miss Hawaiian championship, Hu Kaili has a lot of advantages in appearance Basically impeccable. Although she is only a quarter of Chinese descent, her high nose and deep eyes are more western-like, but there is also a bit of oriental temperament between her brows, which gives her a different charm.

Moreover, her personal resume is also very rich. As early as the 1990s, she played a guest role in "Growing Pains" and has participated in many film and TV dramas since then. Although they are all small roles, she has accumulated a lot of experience, and more importantly But the impression she left on others was not bad, and most people still remembered her.

In addition, Hu Kaili is also very eye-catching. A very simple question that hints at a deep hidden question. I asked several Asian female actors and did not understand. Only Hu Kaili directly sealed the throne with Adrian. dinner. Adrian is not a person in a hurry, so this kind of probing is more about testing the other party's reaction and coping ability. As I said before, the actor's eyesight is very important, so although he agreed to Hu Kaili's invitation that night, he did not take over her further. invitation.

However, Kaili Hu knew exactly what she needed, and also understood that opportunities were always fleeting, and Adrian did not hide his appreciation, so he invited Adrian to her house again after the last round of auditions. Facing the desserts that were brought up, Adrian never refused, so he naturally enjoyed them. As for the role ownership, there is no need to say more.

"Let me introduce some, this is Zhenyang? Mr. Yuan," in the spacious training room, Adrian introduced the three beautiful girls in front of him, who had a Chinese face and was somewhat similar to Yuan Heping. Middle-aged man, "In the next three months, he and his brother's apprentice will give you some preliminary Kung Fu training. It may be very hard, I hope you stick to it, and then you will know, often What are the benefits of practicing kung fu?"

"Yuao, Yuan Zhibu." The three girls bowed to the middle-aged man immediately, and said in Chinese with a strange accent, laughing and laughing. Hu Kaili's pronunciation is not standard, but Drew and Cameron are completely different. Not knowing what he was talking about, a young man following behind the middle-aged man couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Yuan Zhenyang immediately turned his head and glared at his apprentice. Although this is his brother Yuan Heping's apprentice, he still has a majesty in front of them. But after turning his head, he immediately put on a wry smile.

"Let's speak English, Mr. Adrian, this is too..." Yuan Zhenyang made a gesture, "I can speak some English, as long as I speak slowly, general fluency is not a problem."

Although he was somewhat embarrassed, the atmosphere in the room became more relaxed.

"No problem, Mr. Yuan, then I'll give them to you," Adrian nodded and said, "Of course, if you have any suggestions for action scenes, please come up with them as soon as possible."

After getting an affirmative answer, Adrian looked at the three girls again: "Well, let's leave it at that for now, I'll come over some time to see your training results, if you're lazy, I promise to extend the training time— —Don't try to interrupt, Drew, you said before that everything is arranged by me."

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you." Drew pursed his mouth and said.

"In addition, I hope that you can get along well and develop enough tacit understanding, understand?" Adrian said immediately.

The three women immediately glanced at each other, and a different look flashed in their eyes.

Well, without mentioning the situation here, when the crew of "Perak Baby" started the basic training of kung fu, another crew also started the same training a week later, and Yuan Heping himself was in charge.

Adrian appointed Yuan Heping to be personally responsible so that the actors could train to the best effect, and the price could be set at will.

Yuan Heping, who originally planned to let his apprentice go out for training, didn't take it seriously at first. Without thinking about it, the lion opened his mouth and offered a price of 880,000 US dollars. As a result, the check was delivered within two days.

After being startled, he immediately returned it and re-ordered a suitable one. Of course Yuan Heping can accept it generously and laugh at Guilao for having money and no place to ua, and he is from Hong Kong and doesn't necessarily have to eat in Hollywood.

But although he has not been in the United States for a long time, Yuan Heping still inquired about Adrian's situation. Although he is not very clear, he also knows that even if he is a Hong Kong native, he is still very good at being a man, so he immediately declared that he would personally take responsibility .

"Let me introduce, these three are the main actors of my next work," Adrian said to Yuan Heping in another training room, "This is Lawrence Fishburne, this is Ki Nu Reeves, and this one is Monica Bellucci." fa.
