King of Hollywood

Chapter 251: I want to do it myself.

However, with homosexuality involved, so few extremist conservatives had to criticize the film, but the wave soon drowned in the mainstream shout-out, so Philadelphia Story got more than $14 million in boxes on the basis of 1,200 exhibitions in the first week, and took the tenth place on the North American box office list during this intense period, which was a pretty good start.

“The momentum should be maintained, but not relaxed by the Schindler List.” Adrian leaned his leg against the back of the chair and looked at the relevant documents, "he said to LaVerne.

“I have already contacted several Jewish associations and invited their leaders to watch the screening, which has been well received.” LaVerne nodded.

“Very well, but also note that there are many factions among Jews.” Adrian cautioned.

“I know, they helped a lot.” LaVerne said he understood that they didn't have to know who they were talking about.

Adrian smiled and was about to say something, and Charlize came in after knocking on the door.

“They've been waiting for you, Ed.” Though she spoke faceless, she wore the standard office girl's uniform, especially the long legs in black transparent stockings.

Adrian laughed in her heart and remembered Charlize's glittering eyes that morning when she and Sarah, dressed up, came down for breakfast. Because Sarah didn't have the right clothes, she was still dressed the night before. Although the two of them didn't communicate “deeper", that leak * point in the bathroom also kept Sarah's face congested, plus the characteristic greenery of the young girl, radiant and alluring at the same time, no wonder Charlize was jealous.

Yes, that's the word. Charlize spends a lot more time with Adrian than any other woman. Adrian already sees it as something in her bag, so how can she not know what she's thinking?

“Okay, I'll be right there.” Adrian stood up and laughed at her secretary, who, unfortunately, looked at her nose and nose as if she had not seen him at all. Adrian shrugged helplessly and made a gesture to LaVerne: "You too, LaVerne. ”

Though there was no “deep” communication with Sarah, there was a * sizable * * leak in the bathroom, and the young girl's tender hands were very tactile, almost turning him around to ask for her. Adrian, of course, endured it in the end, and now is not a good time, otherwise he would have eaten her all bones last night.

Adrian doesn't want overnight fun, and as I said before, some women just play, like Barrymore or Cameron; some women deserve to be his collections, like Monica and Julia. Sarah naturally belongs to the latter, so he doesn't want to rush to this point, just one more step forward, just like Charlize did.

To think of it, Adrian couldn't help but glance at Charlize and the woman walked beside him, staring at the front. She is indeed intelligent and good at learning. In her previous life, she was a woman who knew what she wanted and would never turn back if she made up her mind. The best example was to deliberately pretend to be ugly and get the best actress in the Oscars.

Although Adriana's tiny wings are now his personal assistant and secretary, he still has the ability to do his job, not to mention the fact that he has always done a great job and is very observant and missed, so Adrian often jokes about not imagining what would happen without her.

However, she is still very young, so it is inevitable that she will make a little fuss, and Adrian is not paying attention. Charlize, who has this personality, is his favorite Charlize. It's not easy just to keep her and stay with him, after all, she's not like Sarah and Monica.

After a few steps outside the conference room, Adrian shrunk his mind and changed his clothes before pushing in.

“Sorry to keep you waiting, but LaVerne and I are having a bit of a delay.” Adrian smiled and reached out to the handsome little boy in front of him and his beautiful wife.

“It's okay, we just got here.” Tom? Cruz had a brilliant smile on his face, but Adrian had a fake look in his eyes. Kidman's smile.

“I've heard you still have the title of a workaholic, but now I have an intuitive impression.” After sitting on both sides of the long table, Cruz smiled and said, "I just got back from Europe and you're about to start making new movies again. ”

“No, I just want to talk about the specifics, if I disturb your arrangement...”

“It's okay, it's okay,” Cruz shook his head and said, "It's okay," and the smile didn't look fake, "I love this script, really, more than Night Visit Vampire, so I got a call from my agent and I came. ”

“Thank you." Adrian smiled.

This script is naturally "Spy on the Disk". Cruz has a unique love for this cool movie, although he is more eager to get Oscar's confirmation, but after several failures he also knows that his handsome appearance is not popular with the old antiques of the film academy, so temporarily gave up this plan to find another script that shows his character.

Adrian just then extended an invitation, and although he didn't really like the so-called "miracle director," he went on to play Lester. To be honest, the novel, adapted from Annie Rice, was quite good, but then Adrian gave him another huge surprise. The idea of turning the "Impossible Mission" television show into a movie, originally conceived on the set because of his wife Nicole, aroused his interest, but he didn't pay much attention to it. This continued until the script of "Spy on the Disk" and several final drafts were delivered to him.

Cruz was in Paris reading "The Vampire Outlook," and after the first reading, he felt like Agent Ethan? Hunter, he couldn't explain the feeling, either, that he wanted the role very much. Especially after seeing those final drafts, the idea grew stronger, so when the broker told him that Bosworth wanted to invite him over to talk about the film, he didn't hesitate to say yes.

“… In short, with the exception of Budapest and the UK, we intend to do most of the footage in the studio, such as the last act in the tunnel.” Speaking of which, LaVerne looked up and said the introduction was over.

“Thank you, LaVerne.” Cruz nodded with a smile, "I would love to play this role too...”

Speaking of which, he looked at his wife with some hesitation, Nicole gave him a request in secret.

“... Nicole would also like to play with me.” After a few seconds of pausing, Cruz finally said something like this, which relieved Nicole secretly, but then she caught the delicate look in her husband's eyes, and something suddenly occurred to her, and she was about to say something, and Cruz had already said it first: "But Ed, can you hand this script over to * *? ”

The air in the conference room stagnated, and LaVerne looked at Adrian, and even Charlize, who had always buried his head, had to lift his head, and Nicole simply covered her forehead.

“You know, I have a production company, too," Cruz said, still smiling as if he didn't notice anything, "and I love this script, and I want to do it myself. ”

Adrian touched his chin and looked at Cruz as if he hadn't heard him. Cruz wasn't in a hurry, so he leaned back on the chair in his spare time and knocked his fingers on the armrest from time to time.

Half an hour later, Adrian suddenly smiled: “I can promise you, Tommy, this script can be left to you, and I'm sure you'll be a great producer, but the terms need to be revisited. ”

Cruz couldn't help but look, he had no idea Adrian had promised to be so happy, but after all, he had seen many wind waves, and soon he smiled again: “Really? ”

“Of course," Adrian nodded, "but don't forget I have one more thing to say. ”

“Yes, I heard.” Cruz Haha laughed, "I'll have the agent come over and talk to you right away. ”

Adrian followed and laughed, and LaVerne stayed serious-looking, while Charlize looked at Adrian with a strange look, as did Nicole with her forehead covered.

“Do you know what you're doing, Tommy?” After coming out of the conference room, Nicole whispered to her husband, "Didn't Riley tell you, you better not mention this?”

“But the problem is, not only did I mention it, he also promised to come down.” Cruz said with some pride that he had not always liked Adrian very much, and I don't know why, it was just a feeling. But he loved it again, so he wanted to make it his own way.

But agent Riley told him that it was almost impossible, that the script was in Adrian's hands, that he was the director and producer himself, and that he had his own film company, so it was impossible to give it to someone else. Cruz is not qualified to mention this condition at all, just change the actor.

Cruz was naturally unhappy, so he raised it today, and I didn't think Adrian would agree to it, and he didn't care if there were any problems.

“But, Tommy, you know...” Nicole frowned and wanted to say something else, and Cruz interrupted her impatiently: "Don't say anything about my decision, Nicole."

Nicole suddenly couldn't say anything, and Cruz noticed that she wasn't speaking very well, so she immediately grabbed her wife with a smile: "Okay, forget it. Think about where we're going to celebrate. It's hard for us to play the part in the same movie, but this time you're playing someone else's wife. ”

Nicole laughed in her heart and shook her head gently at her husband.
