reborn in america

At the end of May, Adam hurried from San Francisco to Los Angeles to participate in the media screening at the China Grand Theater.

As the most prestigious movie theater in Hollywood, the China National Theater has a history of more than 60 years. It took a lot of effort to win this place as the last test screening before the screening.

There is a long red carpet in front of the Grand Theater, and there are a lot of paparazzi and media reporters on the side of the road. The flashing lights are constantly shining, and they quickly press the buttons on their hands facing the glamorous stars walking on the red carpet.

As the first big-budget movie not to be released after becoming a Warner Bros., it is natural to support and support it, so although New Line does not have much size in Hollywood, all kinds of people who came to the preview of "Jurassic Park" today There are still many stars.

However, these stars have been robbed of the limelight in this turf that belongs to them.Adam, dressed in a conservative black suit, with a height of just over 1.8 meters and a handsome appearance, is not inferior to any star in Hollywood. He has a cold face and slightly frowned, obviously not used to the big battles of the media , stepping forward quickly, hoping to enter the cinema earlier.

"Mr. Baker, Mr. Baker, can I say a word?"

"Mr. Baker, congratulations on the sales of "Colony" breaking 500 million copies. May I ask what you think about the recent protests? Can you tell me?"

"May I ask if you wrote the science fiction novel "Colonies" based on Western colonial history?"

Adam sighed secretly in his heart, and couldn't help scolding New Line President Shay, if he hadn't persuaded Adam to walk on the red carpet, he wouldn't have encountered the buzzing noise around his ears, it was so annoying that people wanted to shout "Shut up and be quiet, you idiots!" ', but thinking of the disputes that may arise in the future, that's all. I can only speed up my pace and let them go.

And those reporters saw that Adam’s footsteps were as fast as running, and he passed by within two strokes. They couldn’t help but curse Adam for not giving them the slightest chance, but this does not mean that they have no news to write. So quickly, it is possible to say:

"The newly promoted national best-selling author was on the red carpet to participate in the preview of the new movie "Jurassic Park".

"Facing the questioning of the crowd, Adam Baker left in a hurry without saying a word, looking embarrassed, suspected of being affected by the protests."

"Adam turned coldly to the reporter, just because he mentioned the massacre incident, and suspected that there were some unknown incidents in it."

For most newspapers, the authenticity of the news does not matter, what is more important is the sales of the newspaper. Anyway, the worst result is nothing more than being sued by Adam. During the case, it is enough to make them a lot of money, and it is beneficial to them Newspaper propaganda.

For such journalists, Adam has no choice but to let him make up things. Of course, if one day Adam's financial resources are so great that he can settle a case and make him go bankrupt, naturally he will not be able to do anything. People dare to report casually.

When Adam walked into the movie theater, he accidentally saw a person—Spielbold, who was supposed to be the director of "Jurassic Park", but in the end because of filming "Simmon" when Adam launched the film copyright of "Jurassic Park" In the end, Universal Pictures withdrew from the battle without Spielbold's insistence, so that Adam didn't need to worry about whether to continue to hand over the film to Spielbold for shooting.

As a legendary director in Hollywood, currently the most successful director in the field of Hollywood commercial films, he not only created the category of monster movies, but also directly created the summer film, which has been loved by countless directors since then. King of Hollywood.

He walked over quickly, looking at the legendary director in front of him with some excitement in his heart, he was a little speechless for a while, but after seeing him, Spielbold stretched out his hand to him and said with a smile: "Hey! Mr. Baker , I am your fan!"

Adam quickly reached out and held Spielbold's palm, and said embarrassedly: "Mr. Spielbold, you are joking, I am your fan, your Jaws, ET, Raiders of the Lost Ark series, etc. It is my favorite, I don’t know how many times I have read it.”

"Oh? Is that so? That's my pleasure! I love your novels, Jurassic Park and The Colony.

If I hadn't been preparing for the movie "Schindler's List" last year, maybe I would have desperately won the film adaptation rights of "Jurassic Park". Spielbold said with a smile, looking him in the eye, and Adam knew it was his truth.

Although Adam knew that if he really let him intervene, he might not be able to play, but he was also extremely happy that the other party praised "Jurassic Park" so much, and quickly responded: "That is really a pity, I hope the next This is the first time I have the opportunity to work with a great director like you."

"I'm actually very interested in your new book "The Colony". If one day you plan to release the movie copyright of this novel, please be sure to let me know." Spielbold laughed, and then said playfully.

Adam didn't know whether what he said was true or not, but anyway, since the other party supported him, he would definitely not say something inappropriate, and said, "I will, you are the one I choose in my heart." The first object to consider when directing."

"That's a deal!" Spielbold said jokingly, blinking slightly.

"Without a doubt." Adam said without the slightest burden in his heart.

The film adaptation of this novel is early. First of all, with the current technology, it is still a bit difficult to achieve the picture in the novel. Secondly, it is impossible to adapt this novel into a pure popcorn movie, but if you want to use it according to the novel If you want to change your core idea, can such a large investment be paid back?

So, after all, it's just talk.And as far as he knows, Spielbold will no longer direct some purely commercial films (except for the original "Juvenile" series) in the following time, and is more inclined to the development of literary films, such as "Singer" released at the end of this year. Deler's List" and a few years later the politically correct film about the fate of black people "Broken Locks" and the well-known "Saving Private Ryan".

Among them, the two films "Schindler's List" and "Saving Private Ryan" not only made him a great success at major award ceremonies, but also achieved success at the box office.

The only regret is that even though she is so successful in her career as a director, it cannot cover up the failure of her overall career. The DreamWorks she founded with a few friends has not had much success even though it has released many movies with excellent box office. Development, and finally fell apart because of different ideas.

"By the way, I don't know when your movie "Schindler's List" will be released?" Adam also politely asked about the movie shot by Spielbold.

"At the end of this year, I think after November, I hope you can attend the premiere of the movie." Spielbold said happily.

Although the filming of this film has been completed, there is no problem with its summer release, but this film is aimed at the awards season after all, so naturally it should be released at the end of this year and the beginning of next year, otherwise it will be released too early. When the Oscars start to sprint, many people If you forget the plot, it will be embarrassing.

This is why most of the Olympic-oriented films are released at the end of the year and one month before the Oscar nominations.Of course, this is not only for awards, but also for profit, because if a literary film is nominated for an Oscar, or even wins some important awards, then it is bound to show its power again in the film market and make a fortune.

Therefore, everything in Hollywood is a business, not for fame, but for profit. Of course, it is often for fame, and then use this name to earn profits for yourself.

Adam naturally agreed to the director's request, not only because of this 'politically correct movie', but also because this movie is really good enough: "Of course, it is my honor to be able to participate in the premiere of the movie, I will definitely attend."

The two walked to the movie theater while chatting, and then walked to their own circles. Adam's circle was naturally the movie-watching team composed of his secretary Lydia, the editor-in-chief of the newspaper, William Smith and Tonares. They walked in first by themselves. , did not walk the red carpet.

"Hey! Boss, you came in. Is it lively outside?" Lydia stepped forward and asked with a smile.

"It's very hot and noisy. Lydia will help me write it down, and I will refuse any meaningless red carpet activities in the future. Those damn reporters are really going to make my head go crazy." Adam rubbed his temples and said helplessly.

"No way, who put you on the cusp recently, those young people are going to bring the whole of America upside down." William Smith said gloatingly.

Who let Adam leave a bunch of things inhumanely, and run away with his man with the reason of writing a new book, this is retribution, retribution.

"By the way, Tonares, how is the matter I asked you to do?" Adam ignored the smiling William Smith, and turned to ask Tonares, who had become more silent and steady since working for Adam.

"It has been arranged. These people are very capable and have prospects for training. I think that within five to ten years, a large part of them will be able to make achievements in politics." Tonares analyzed calmly.

Adam was quite helpless. In fact, at first he just wanted him to fund them, so as not to affect their future because of this incident, but Tonares proposed the idea of ​​training alternate politicians for Adam.

Adam thought that after this incident, this group of people would probably be able to accumulate enough political experience, which would be more beneficial for them to pursue a political career in the future, so that when they develop to a certain stage, they will also have some people who can speak for themselves, which is not bad choice, so it doesn't make sense.

A few people talked about some work matters casually, and they also dealt with Shay and Warner's high-level executives who came to say hello, and then the movie with many expectations was finally released.
