"You're in charge of the rest. I just want Tim Robbins as Andy, Morgan Freeman as supporting actor Rhett, Bob Gunton as supporting actor No. 2, Warden Norton. Is that all right Adrian, sitting at the head of the room, flipped through the folder in front of him.
People in charge of departments in the conference room looked at each other and did not speak. After a few minutes, the manager of the planning department nodded: "I see, Mr. Adrian, we will try our best..."
"I don't have to do my best, I need to be certain, understand?" Adrian interrupted him.
"Yes, sir, we must." Said the manager at once.
"That's it. Lafayette stays and the rest of us can leave." Adrian gestured.
When the people in charge were out of the room, Adrian looked at Lafayette, who was sitting on his left. "Is there something you want to say to me, Laffer?"
"Yes, some things about recent investment, but I think you will certainly stick to your own opinion, won't you?" Adrian shrugged his shoulders, obviously.
"You're my general manager, Laffer, so just say what you want and I'll be happy to answer all your questions, which is good for us." Adrian said slowly.
"I see," Lafayette nodded. "I think the company has carried out too many projects at the same time recently, and the amount of investment is a little too large. It is too risky. If you are not careful, you will fall into a serious loss. Although I know you have plenty of money, it's not a good thing to lose money after all. "
"So, what are you going to do?" Adrian looks at him in a noncommittal way.
"What else to do, you're the boss, you've made a decision," Lafayette sighed. "Only hope that the box office of" memory fragment "can be higher, and then Jurassic Park will start to prepare later."
Adrian laughed, and he recognized the complaint in the other side's words: "well, don't worry, Lafayette. Although the mid-term box office of" memory fragment "is not good, it is now recovering. We have estimated that it will not be much different from" two big guns ". After the release of Terminator 2 in July, the 10 million yuan previously invested can be gradually recovered. At this time, Steven must have finished his work. Therefore, the preparation of Jurassic Park will not start until August or September at the latest. By this time, my Shawshank Redemption should be almost completed. It's just good, isn't it? "
"What you're saying is based on everything going well, ed "Especially at the box office of Terminator 2, you don't seem to think it's going to lose money," Lafayette said bluntly. Yes, I admit that the first episode of terminator has nurtured a lot of fans. I also believe that James Cameron can make the second episode better than the first one, but its total investment of $110 million is too big. Even if the box office is good, we can keep the cost at most. "
"What if the global box office is more than 400 million?" Adrian asked casually.
Lafayette was stupefied, with a wry smile and no more words. If the global box office really gets 400 million dollars, the company will naturally make a lot of money, but how many films can get such a high box office in the global market? And once the overseas market takes the lead, more will be distributed, and it is still a problem whether the principal can be guaranteed at that time.
"I know you may not believe it, laver, but I never doubt my own eyes." Adrian then spread out his hand. If it wasn't for some problems, he would have said 500 million instead of nearly 400 million.
"I'm optimistic about James Cameron, and I'm sure he'll bring us hundreds of times in the future." Although Adrian vowed to say, but did not let the corner of Lafayette's bitter smile disappear.
So after thinking for a few minutes, he suddenly changed the topic: "before, I asked you to buy a foreign film and the right to adapt two novels. Now what's the matter?"
"Well..." Although he didn't understand why Adrian mentioned this, Lafayette gave the answer after thinking about it, "there will be no problem in Italy. King's College of Cambridge University has not given a reply, but I believe it will not be too much trouble. Most of all, it's MS Anne Rice, who doesn't seem to want to hand over her novels to us. "
"Do you have any suggestions?" Adrian asked.
"You know, women are more emotional than men," Lafayette thought. "So lobbying after Shawshank Redemption is on is more likely to succeed. Of course, if you need it in a hurry, I'll probably get it 80% of the time, but the price may be slightly higher. "
"You're really great, Laffer," Adrian clapped. "To be honest, I didn't expect you to get Shawshank Redemption so quickly from Stephen King. It was brilliant."
"Thank you, but I don't think you're just saying that." Lafayette's face was marked with inquiry.
"So, Laffer," Shawshank Redemption, "will be my Oscar ticket for next year, and in the course of next year, I'll make three films - not necessarily these three. The last time I was robbed in a restaurant gave me a good idea. In short, at the Oscars the following year, I will hold a film emperor and a film queen on stage, and I will also be nominated as the best director Adrian's tone is full of the taste of giving up his own. "I can guarantee the quality of the film and the acting skills of the actors, so the rest..."Although he stopped here, how could Lafayette not know what the words were? His breath suddenly became a little short. He pinched the bridge of his nose and looked at Adrian with inexpressible eyes.
"I've never been idle. Every step I take will take into account the countless steps ahead. My eyes are on the future, and I believe in my own eyes." Of course, Adrian's last remark is to prove this point
Lafayette was silent for a few minutes, and finally nodded: "I see."
"No, you don't understand." Adrian's bright eyes looked at him. "What I really want to tell you is that I'm confident and visionary, but anyway, I'm just a person. I may see more than others, but it doesn't mean I can see everything. So, when you think you should say something, be sure to say it. There may be something I may not have noticed. This is my trust in you
Some of the stunned Lafayette finally responded. After a long breath, he showed a serious look: "yes, I understand. It's up to you to listen or not to say it to me."
Adrian smiles: "that's all for today. Besides, after Crowe's integration is completed, you will be the CEO of Bosworth film company, and this seat will also be yours."
He patted the chair under his body and jokingly said, "even if it's me, I have to look at your face."
If it had been a few minutes ago, Lafayette might have been a little excited, but now he just answered and said he knew.
"By the way, ED," he thought as he got up to leave. "How do you respond to the two reporters who called to visit you?"
"This I still refuse. Anyway, I'm going to be busy with the new movie Adrian thought about it and gave the answer, "I'm not a big star. I'll talk about it later."
In fact, he doesn't mind accepting an interview, although he prefers to stand behind the scenes, but since he has chosen to accumulate fame and reputation by the fastest way, he is bound to attract a lot of attention. But that's definitely not now. The reporters who come to the door are just those people from small and medium-sized newspapers and media. Because they can't get the star news, they turn to him with a curious attitude. They make two big selling movies in a year, hoping to attract some attention. He doesn't have to deal with them.
After all, the director behind the scenes can't compare with the stars on the front desk. However, at most two years, major TV stations will rush to invite themselves to do exclusive interviews. Adrian shrugged in his heart. It's time for him to have an agent. Claude is really slow.
Abdominal Fei to abdominal Fei, Adrian did not really put in mind, Claude has done very well. In more than half a month, he has acquired a poorly run publishing company and quickly handed over the revised first edition of the novel biochemical crisis to him.
Frankly speaking, the revision is very good. The writing style is fairly good. Some poor and second-class writers who like to write suspense novels, after learning that they can not only add their own names to the books, but also get royalties, they immediately burst into 200% enthusiasm and try their best to help fill the loopholes in the novel. Not to mention, they also read a lot of information, and wrote the composition of T virus more like that It's over. Although it's still a second-rate popular novel, it's enough to attract tourists to buy a copy before they get on the plane - it doesn't matter whether they collect it or put it in the garbage can when they get off the plane. After putting forward some suggestions, Adrian pondered whether to give the other two books for revision.
The broker company is also in the negotiation. Although the selected broker company is of medium scale and good benefit, it is no problem to win. Moreover, Adrian also found several familiar names in the list of actors, directors and producers of this agency company. It must be said that Claude did a good job.
Leave it to a trusted professional. Don't meddle in it. Adrian has always adhered to this approach. That's one of the reasons why he said so much to Lafayette and stressed the word trust over and over again.
