King of Hollywood

Although someone has set a goal for themselves that can be called "great", it is not easy to achieve it. Men who have been able to attract women since ancient times have either had money or power or both.

Think about it, if Adrian can control Hollywood and make whoever he wants to become a big star, how can those actresses who once made his favorite not (cast) embrace (give). Just relying on his current net worth of several million is absolutely not enough, so the act of misappropriating money is imperative.

If he were an ordinary person, he would of course be worried about how to make money, but for a reborn like him, it was a relatively simple matter. Thanks to the novels he read online in his previous life, he really remembered a lot of ways to make money. For example, I asked Claude to help fry the yen before.

Just knowing is knowing, but it is not easy to do. In his previous life, he was just a small director. He had enough insights on movies, but he didn’t know anything about finance. Although he could find a lot of relevant information on the Internet by searching for information on how to make money, he wanted to apply it in practice. It's simply impossible to operate.

Therefore, if he wants to take this opportunity to make money, he must be around someone who can help him financially.

Although every dude is surrounded by a group of friends, there is no shortage of friends who can make friends, such as Claude Roenris who was persuaded by Adrian. The relationship between the two of them is very close, especially the father of the two is not only a graduate of the same class of Harvard, but also a very tacit partner during the fraternity, and is also the godfather of each other's children. After the death of Adrian's parents, the Ron Reess also helped Adrian a lot.

If you want to describe Adrian and Claude in Chinese, friends who are small or wear open crotch pants are the most appropriate adjectives. In a word, these two people have been playing tricks together since they were young, bullying others and getting women together. Even if Claude was called back to the company by his father to help after graduation, he would still find time to meet with Adrian from time to time. And Adrian's parents stayed with him for a long time after his death, trying to find a way to get him out of the predicament.

Although the current Adrian is no longer the playboy he used to be, he still has a kind of natural intimacy with Claude who has inherited all the feelings and memories of the original Adrian. And according to previous memory, this guy's talent in business is not ordinary, so Adrian thought of him for the first time.

It was just to convince Claude that he had to spend too much time, but fortunately, the killer plan based on memory is still useful - 6 million US dollars is not much, but there are very few opportunities for him to show his ability to the fullest, and A Derian also said that even if he screwed up, he had nothing to lose. Coupled with the fact that the other party is still his friend from childhood to adulthood, he finally got the first step.

But then again, if Claude simply agrees to the inexplicable, almost flawed plan, then Adrian may have to think carefully about whether he has other thoughts.

"Since the first step has been taken, the second step should also be taken quickly." After getting the most critical start, Adrian, who returned to the villa, quickly became busy.

From February 1990 to May 1990, he basically stayed in the villa for three whole months, and hardly went out except to the writers' guild and the library, and let the cover of the room take care of him. Mrs. Lun was surprised for a long time.

During this period of time, he hated this era for the first time. The computer was still loaded with DOS programs, the mobile phone was huge and clumsy, the notebook computer could only be described as rudimentary, and there was no Internet, no portal, and no convenient and fast search engine.

This forced Adrian to prepare a large number of books and dictionaries, and it took him at least a week to learn and familiarize himself with the use of the typewriter before he began to copy the script.

The second step is naturally to enter Hollywood and use movies to build his own influence. Although he has nothing to do with the film industry, how could Adrian, who has already set a goal, have no plans? It is undoubtedly the easiest to start with a screenwriter.

If he felt a little uncertain about setting his own goals at first, when he began to carefully recall the scripts he had read and analyzed before his rebirth, he had a surprising discovery - as long as it took long enough, he Basically, the script that I have read can be completely turned out, and it is very clear.

This may be related to the fusion and reorganization of his memory after his rebirth, who knows? But this God's gift undoubtedly made his chips more and more sufficient. So for the past three months, he has completed at least six complete scripts in one breath day and night, as well as the outlines of ten scripts, so next...

After parking the car, Bertrand Erwin carefully observed the surroundings, and after confirming that it was here, he mumbled something and walked towards the target villa. He stretched out his hand and rang the doorbell, and after a few minutes the door was slammed open. A middle-aged woman with a plain appearance appeared in front of him and looked at him with doubts: "Who are you looking for?"

"Does Mr. Adrian Cowell live here? I'm Bertrand Erwin from the editorial department of Universal Studios. We have a date." Bertrand asked politely, and couldn't help but continue to mumble. stand up. Living in such a villa but writing scripts for film companies, are the rich people now so bored?

"Please come in, Mr. Adrian has been waiting for you for a long time." The woman let go with an expression of sudden realization.

Bertrand nodded and walked in. At the same time, she was a little puzzled. She seemed to use the plural "you" for "you". What's going on?

He quickly understood, because he knew three of the four men sitting in the living room of the villa, colleagues from the three studios of Warner, Fox and Disney.

What, this Mr. Cowell wants to put it up for sale? This was Bertrand's first thought, but it was thrown away. Although the other party looks very young, he doesn't look like someone who is short of money.

Before he could come up with a reason, the assistant named Billy Edie in the Disney editorial department had raised his hand and greeted with a smile: "Hey, I'll wait for you, Bertrand, come here quickly."

As he spoke, he exchanged glances with the other two, and the three of them shrugged in unison, leaving Bertrand at a loss. Just waiting for me? What's the meaning?

"Can you explain, Mr. Cowell?" Bertrand asked, sitting on the sofa after introducing himself to the young man. "I think you should invite us over today at the same time?"

"Oh, of course," the young man laughed, "That's right, I wrote a few scripts on a whim during this period of time to see if I could make some money, so I sent it to your company, and then you all came over. Talk to me."

"How many... how many scripts?!" Bertrand was a little stunned, and turned his head subconsciously to look at the three colleagues.

Bertrand suddenly felt that his head was not enough. Obviously, this Mr. Adrian Cowell meant that he sent different movie scripts to several big companies at the same time, and several big companies The company immediately sent him to contact him to buy the script!

Just kidding, even the top writers in Hollywood can't satisfy several big companies at the same time, unless it's written early. But judging from the attitudes of Billy and the others who came first, this should have been written by the other party recently. This...is incredible.

Bertrand has read the script. This one is called "Ten Things I Hate About You". It is a very light-hearted school comedy story. Although some of the ways to promote the plot are more old-fashioned, the overall is quite interesting. In the United States, the last thing you don’t need to worry about is a loss-making movie, except for romantic dramas, which are youth campus dramas. As long as the script is excellent, and if you choose a director with no water in your head and a few young and beautiful actors, the box office of the movie is generally not bad, and sometimes even Also make a lot of money.

Because of this, the manager of the editing and review department told him to try to win the script when he asked him to come over.

"It's amazing, Mr. Cowell," Bertrand snapped, glancing at Billy and Warner's Cycla Jefferson and Fox's Barney Jacklin, "honestly, Your story of youth on campus is excellent."

The three indistinctly shook their heads in turn, and Bertrand couldn't help being surprised. These four scripts were not the same type of story? This is also...a bit too exaggerated.

However, he immediately restrained his emotions and gave the three people a look, and Billy and the others nodded slightly. Since Mr. Kewell chooses to negotiate with several companies at the same time, they must jointly suppress some prices. This is normal, not to mention that the other party is still a newcomer.

Although the other party has given different scripts to different companies, and it seems that there is no shortage of money to spend, I am afraid that it will not be much lower, but one point is one point.

"Thank you for your compliment, Mr. Erwin," said Adrian on the sofa, smiling. "Let's get to the point."

"Of course," Bertrand said after a quick exchange of glances, "although your script is excellent, after all, you are a newcomer and you are not a professional screenwriter, so I can only offer a maximum of $35,000."

Billy, who was next to him, could not help but twitched his lips, but then echoed with Warner's Sekra and Fox Barney and said, "Yes, Mr. Cowell, the price is fair."

"Really?" Adrian frowned slightly in front of him, "It seems too low."

But he immediately smiled again: "It doesn't matter, that's it."

The four of them couldn't help being stunned, especially Bertrand. The reason why they kept the price to a minimum at the beginning was to facilitate the subsequent bargaining. Unexpectedly, the other party agreed, what he wanted to do.

Adrian immediately revealed the mystery, and he put the two folders on the coffee table: "By the way, if it's convenient, please help me see how about these two scripts?"
