King of Hollywood

Chapter 165: I Want To Be A Big Star

Adrian worked so hard to make three high-quality films in 92 years to maximize his reputation in the shortest possible time. Imagine how many people in and out of the circle would want to admire a director who can hold both male and female actors for the Oscar Cinema and get the best directorial nomination?

With such a reputation, the help to his career is undoubtedly immense, not to mention the invitations and probes of the big movie companies, and even with his vision, even with Claude at the helm, the AC media will need to grow in tandem for a long time. And there will be a sudden increase in the number of people who want to talk to him at parties and parties, as early as after the Golden Globe Awards dinner, and only more after the Oscar nomination list is announced.

Producers, investors, brokers, writers, directors, etc., are the most frequent actors. With a trophy of the best male and female protagonists, a Golden Globe Award or an Oscar, you can raise your reputation dramatically, which is of considerable benefit to development. Men and women looking for development in Hollywood. Which one isn't for profit? I liked acting, I liked art, and I just said it. After all, I still want the light on the surface. It would probably be better to go to Europe - and, of course, more chaotic - if you really gave your life to the performing arts.

In short, for them, a star is just a job, a job with low investment and high returns. Naturally, a director who can make both profitable films and get them awards is their biggest target, and as LaVerne said, even a better PR has to have a good quality film first. In Adrian's view, this is a good opportunity to broaden connections and make it easier for broker companies to find the right unknown actors, writers, directors, etc.

As for his first goal, the women he wants, as long as they have fame and power, are they afraid they won't get their hands on them?

“It's not in conflict with getting voted for the best female lead," LaVerne explained, "and we're confident Al and Emma's team will get voted for themselves, so we can totally dedicate part of our energy and resources to working on the best director. Sure, Emma? Thompson is British, there's something missing in Hollywood, and we notice that. ”

“Consider,” Adrian replied after a long time of reflection, "but make sure Al and the best lead and Emma's best lead are considered at your discretion. ”

The influence of getting the best director while coming out of the film is certainly several times greater than getting the best director nomination. If the Faculty of Cinematography meant to give him the best director, why not try again?

Adrian's calm and self-restraint is inevitably a little exciting when he thinks about it. Of course, it must be based on ensuring Pacino and Thompson's best male and female protagonists, and if stealing chicken doesn't reverse rice, it won't pay off.

LaVerne also heard what he meant and nodded immediately: “I understand, I'm careful. ”

“I'll leave that to you.” Adrian didn't say much either, and then got up and left LaVerne's office.

He roughly understands why LaVerne has been so enthusiastic that in the past decade or so - especially in the Bosworth Film Industry - LaVerne has not won a single award, even though it has won such a nomination for films produced by the company. Well, I can't say not once. The Association of Film Critics Awards have been won several times in various regions, but the Golden Globe Awards, the Emmy Awards, have never been there, not to mention the Oscars.

With Adrian's support and trust, his abilities have been fully exploited and he has also won the nomination of the best director last year, which unfortunately eventually failed for various reasons. So in the face of this great situation this year, he naturally wants to better present himself and prove himself through the PR Awards.

Everyone had their own * * and their own goals, so Adrian acquiesced in LaVerne's approach. He believed that with his steadiness he would be able to grasp the score, otherwise he would not have handed over the film company to him and divided a few options for rewards.

After coming out of the office, Adrian went straight to HR, where he had some business to take care of. Since the last time LaVerne was asked to find a secretary assistant, HR recommended several people, but he was not very satisfied. After all, two jobs were to be done, even if they were carried out alternately and not with great intensity.

Therefore, Adrian simply asked the Department of Personnel for open recruitment, and a wide variety of applications, such as snowflakes, flew in, and the initial selection alone took up most of the Department's energy, making the staff painful.

“Our main job every day is to open letters and read letters, Mr. Adrian. Can we do something else?” An assistant from the Human Resources Department sat in his seat and looked over at the application letter and complained.

Adrian has a good reputation in the company. As long as he is not a director or a late producer, he can't make too many jokes with the staff. He maintains the dignity of the boss and affinity between colleagues, so the staff sometimes jokes with him.

“Don't worry, it'll all be over soon, just find the right person.” Adrian laughed, and he was also looking at the letters of application, and it was very varied for everyone.

“Can you give us an accurate message?” Another clerk asked at this time.

“I don't know, maybe tomorrow, maybe half a month later.” Adrian shrugged her shoulders, pretending she didn't hear that disappointing "oh” sound, reaching out and grabbing another stack of neatly placed letters.

“Those are disqualified applications, Mr. Adrian.” The assistant reminder before us said.

Adrian stood still and waved: “It's okay, I'm just looking. ”

After that, he picked it up and went on to look like it was amazing sometimes, and if Adrian had listened to his assistant, he might have missed something, which had nothing to do with predicting the future, which was called luck.

Looking at the application letter in his hand, Adrian stunned for half a day and almost went to rub his eyes to see if he was blindfolded. It was drawn from the last few, after all, abandoned. He didn't have to look at it one at a time, but he never expected to see such a name.

This is a young girl under the age of 18, the handwriting is very standardized, she said in the introduction that she has been trained and had some experience, I hope to get this opportunity, the words are quite sincere, and the pictures are attached, although only an inch in size, but they look pretty. Well, none of that matters. The point is, what's her name, Charlize? Cylon.

“Mr. Adrian.” The assistant's voice suddenly rang and he woke up and looked at each other as Adrian settled on the application letter: “What's the matter? ”

“Your phone, it's the front desk.” The assistant handed him the white handset.

“Thank you,” Adrian said, “Hi, Teresa, can I help you...?... well, ask her to come to my office and I'll be right there. ”

Put the phone down and think about it. Adrian had to get up and go outside. He stopped for two steps, and the application was still pinched in his hand. Looking at what was in his hand, he hesitated for two or three seconds and asked the assistant, "Are there any interview plans lately? ”

“Thursday morning there is.” The assistant recalled and gave the answer.

“Well, put her in too.” Adrian didn't say much either, and delivered the letter of application directly to him.

“Wait, Mr. Adrian, this doesn't fit…" The assistant screamed after a quick sweep.

“Don't worry, I know,” Adrian turned around a few steps ago and interrupted his speech with a gesture, "it was just an interview and nothing went wrong. ”

He then walked out of the HR office without waiting for the other person to speak again.

The age is right, the photos are small but they still look a little similar, but... how is this possible? Adrian Bess doesn't understand. If it's a butterfly effect, isn't it exaggerated?

Unconsciously, he came outside his office and the door was hidden. Although there was only one stitch, the situation inside was clear, and the slender figure was sitting at the front end of the chair waiting for her. Adrian settled down and closed his mind. Anyway, let's wait for the interview before we take care of the current situation.

“Hi, Sarah.” Greeting, Adrian walked into the office with the same smile as usual.

“Hi, Ed.” Sarah? Michelle? Gayla immediately responded, just that her smile was very reluctant, as if it were extruded, the shadow that had disappeared almost once again appeared between the eyebrows, and her beautiful face lost some of its former glow.

It seems to be because of that thing. Adrian made a preliminary judgement in his heart. He sat down behind his desk and changed his gaze of concern: "How's it going? You don't look so good? ”

“Well... not much sleep.” Sarah lowered her head to whisper.

“Well, what can I do for you?” Adrian then changed the subject.

After a few seconds of silence, Sarah just opened her mouth again: "In fact... my mom didn't know I was here today. ”

Adrian couldn't help but frown, which meant...

“Well, I won't tell your mother * *.” He said in a very serious tone.

Sarah finally raised her head and looked at Adrian with some hesitation, biting her lips seemed very contradictory. Adrian doesn't say anything, just look at her and wait for her to say it.

Her chest fluctuated gradually, her hands were pinched into fists, her eyes were unusually strange, like resisting and afraid of something, and like resisting this resistance, her body trembling slightly as if doing the final struggle. Ultimately, Sarah closed her eyes tightly, opened them again, lifted her chest and sat upright and made her choice.

The "I want to be a big star” girl looked at Adrian, slightly white in the face and echoed in the room with a trembling voice.
