King of Hollywood

“I don't understand, Rebecca, why do you think this script suits me so well?” Julia, looking out the window at the street, suddenly turns back and asks her agent, "I don't think it's a great story. ”

“Because Mr. Adrian is right, you do need a good romantic comedy in the box office right now," Rebecca answered looking up, "although those people are not as mean as they were before, there are still a lot of bad things to hear, and you should fight back rather than bury them. Of course, it takes a chance, and now there's a great opportunity. You've seen the script, almost exactly as you did before. English-style romantic comedy is also very popular in the United States. Why not try it? As you know, Adrian, although controversial now, has hardly ever failed in the script he sees. ”

“I know, of course I know, it's just...” Julia made a few gestures and didn't go on.

She had to look out of the car again, and a few minutes later she noticed that the glass attached to the window paper reflected what she looked like. Although the shadow was good, there seemed to be something wrong, and Julia had to reach out and plunder the corner.

She sighed in her heart and thought that a few months had passed and she had adjusted her mind. I didn't expect a simple invitation to dial her mind again.

“I have a character who wants to invite you to the show, and if you're free, let's talk about it, shall we, Julia?” Though it was only two simple words on the phone, his voice was as gentle and refreshing as ever, giving people a sense of self-reliance and wanting to talk to him more.

Julia suddenly thought of a few words stuck on the note on the last page of the script that came in the mail: "I've set up a character based on the images you've performed, and I hope you like it. ”

Well, to be honest, although she doesn't have a cold for English humor, she likes stories and characters. If it were for another director's invitation, maybe she'd already said yes.

Julia laughed bitterly in her heart for her contradictory attitude. It is no longer a girlfriend's problem, and she has learned more or less about Adrian-related things over the past few months, though not exhaustively, but with her knees she knows exactly what happened. This is Hollywood, and he's not only talented, he owns a movie company, and it's perfectly normal for this to happen.

Julia doesn't want to get herself involved, but... no matter how many times she has told herself to be normal, she still packs herself up and sprays Chanel No. 19 perfume when she goes out today.

Forget it, let's not compare these, we'll go back when we're done, and then we'll talk about it. Julia said to herself in comfort.

The car soon arrived at a private club in Pasadena, Los Angeles, and after getting off the club, led by a waiter, Julia quickly arrived in the bright, four-sided, transparent living room with her agent Rebecca.

“Hi, Julie.” The first time Adrian found them sitting in front of the glass, he got up and greeted them.

“Hi, Ed.” Julia walked past and reached out with a steady heart.

“Long time no see, you've become more beautiful.” Adrian exclaimed with admiration, his eyes full of admiration.

Today Julia is wearing a beige skirt suit with curly hair on the back of her head, revealing a white neck, giving a sense of skill and a sense of professional femininity.

He never hides how he feels about me. This thought suddenly came out of Julia's mind, but she stopped thinking and smiled at Adrian: “It's been a while since you've seen it, and you've become more visible. ”

“Being so popular as a director is not a good thing.” Adrian shrugged his shoulders, shook Rebecca's hand again, and made a gesture: “Let's sit down and talk. ”

After ordering drinks and refreshments, the three of them began to get to the point after a few chills, at a time when Rebecca and Adrian were basically talking. She asked some questions about the script and the movie from Julia's perspective, and a good, dedicated broker would put the interests of her clients first. Adrian, who was already prepared, naturally answered, although some answers were not satisfactory to the other party, Rebecca did not grasp them, and once the intention to cooperate had been established, professionals would naturally come to discuss these matters in detail with her.

Julia was a little distracted listening to them talk, stirring up the coffee in front of her with a spoon. She didn't know what to think, and occasionally she would focus on Adrian, but quickly moved away.

“Well, I don't have any more questions for now.” Rebecca finally finished her conversation with Adrian and turned to Julia: “Julie? ”

“Ah? Oh, that...” Julia, distracted, finally got back to her mind. The scene was a little embarrassing and she didn't even want to say, "Why would you want to invite me to be the actress, Ed? ”

Rebecca next to him couldn't help but flip a white eye and reach over his forehead. Julia woke up and laughed a little embarrassed, trying to fix something, but Adrian waved.

“Although what I said to Rebecca was that I would invite you to the show because I thought the role was right for you," Adrian said calmly, giving Julia a little peace of mind and feeling a little unusual.

“But at this moment, what I'm trying to say is that I created this character specifically for you.” He looked her in the eye and said seriously.

Julia stunned for a few minutes, she opened her mouth and seemed to want something, but she didn't say anything. Rebecca next to me clearly felt something, looked at the two of them, and stood up: "Excuse me, you guys take your time. ”

Smiling at Julia, she grabbed her purse and left the living room of the General Assembly. Julia saw her disappear at the door before turning her gaze and watching Adrian's eyes hidden in helplessness.

“Made it for me?” Julia purposefully spoke in a toned tone to keep herself calm.

“I'm not lying," Adrian stretched out his stall and looked very blunt, "the character was originally designed to be a woman whose life didn't really check out much who liked to circle between rich men, so the story would be better w more conflicting. But I didn't really like the role, and after a few changes, I didn't know why I suddenly thought of the characters you played, so I asked myself why I couldn't form an independent woman? And storytelling conflicts don't decrease much. After a few more modifications to this idea, I simply added your image in the movie to it, and suddenly the inspiration grew a lot, and eventually I had this role. ”

Hearing Julia here, she couldn't help but bow her head and squeeze her nostrils to cover her mind and panic.

“Although I am not responsible for writing specific stories, I have always had oversight and this role has always been shaped as I wish.” Adrian said to hold Julia's other hand on the table, "and if you refuse, I'll be very sad, you know, I came all the way back from London to Los Angeles to ask you out. ”

Julia took a slight hit, but not too hard. She glanced at Adrian in secret and asked, "Sneaking? ”

“Yeah, you know, I've been watching reporters all this time, and I was so annoyed by them in London that I didn't want to go back to Los Angeles.” Adrian sighed, depressed all over his face.

Julia couldn't help laughing. I don't know why. She knew exactly what Adrian was talking about, but she couldn't help but think of the word "secretly” elsewhere.

“Julie?” Adrian screamed as a reminder.

“Oh, I'm sorry, I'm distracted again.” Julia smiled in disguise and finally drew her hand back, "and now that you've said that, I obviously can't refuse. ”

“That's great," Adrian said with a happy face, "so can I invite you to dinner tonight? ”

“This...” Julia suddenly tightened her heart and subconsciously rejected him: “Sorry, I have an appointment at night. ”

“Is that so? It's a shame." Adrian showed disappointment without any cover.

“Maybe tomorrow or the day after.” Julia couldn't help but say it again, and she regretted it as soon as she spoke, but when she did, Adrian's surprise sounded: “That's great, the day after tomorrow there's a game at the Andaha Hockey Club, the Los Angeles Kings against the Detroit Red Wings, maybe you'd like to come and watch it with me? ”

Julia was stunned and looked at the other person's expression as if it was laughing or not, and she realized that she had fallen for it. Some of her anger was accompanied by some unspeakable feelings.

“Well, if you can get tickets.” She said, with a little provocation in her tone, it's not easy to get tickets to the game, and you sneak back to Los Angeles.

But Julia was quickly disappointed, and Adrian waved with no concern: "Don't worry, two tickets to the hockey game are not difficult, just one phone call, and I'll send them straight home. ”

Julia hates some itching, and based on this, Adrian is perfectly certain to be premeditated.

“So that's it.” She nodded and stood up, "I'll see you the day after tomorrow. ”

“I'll pick you up the day after tomorrow, if you want to give me the address.” Adrian stood up and smiled.

Julia opens her mouth and says, "Give me the phone. You have my phone, don't you? ”

“I thought it would be better if you told me yourself.” Adrian shook his head, complaining in a tone.

Julia was deaf and walked to the entrance to the living room. Isn't it just a game? No problem.

“
