King of Hollywood

“Sorry we're late, I hope we didn't delay too long.” Adrian, who pushed the door in, said in an apologetic tone that Sarah was often no different than behind him.

“It's okay, we just talked to Joss.” Hudson, the head of the television department, stood up and could not express his opinions, Adrian being the boss. And this is the first time he's late. It's a little long, but who hasn't? Just throw it in the back of your head.

“This must be Joyce, hello.” Adrian walked straight to the one in front of Hudson, smiling his hand out in front of a man about 30 years old.

“Hello, Ed. I'm Joss? Winden, nice to meet you.” Instead of showing impatience because they waited a little longer, they shook Adrian's hand with enthusiasm. But he was also acute and couldn't wait for Adrian to settle down and ask, “I hear you want to make this movie into a TV show? ”

“I thought Robert should be very clear.” Adrian smiled at Hudson.

“Oh yes, but...” Wenden paused for two minutes, organized the following phrase in his head before continuing, but changed the question: "You're on this movie version.”

“Nice script,” Adrian smiled harder, "but the director obviously didn't understand the subject of the story, so it was a disaster to make a comedy film. ”

Why do you say that, Ed? ”Wenden tried to keep the apparent calm, but his fisting hands had betrayed his true feelings.

“For a long time, in a horrible Hollywood movie, a little blonde walking into a dark alley and being * dropped has almost become a formula, and your script is clearly meant to upset that. What could be more eye-catching than a powerful woman killing vampires who should have been killed by men and then saving the world?” Adrian had his hands full.

Wenden lowered his head and sighed half way back, grinning and grabbing his head: “I knew I shouldn't be messing with you, you're the most eye-catching Hollywood... writer, director and producer. ”

“Wow, sounds like I should be proud.” Adrian Haha laughed.

“To be honest.” Winden followed him and laughed, “Okay, I'll get the script out as soon as I can...”

“Don't worry, Joss," Adrian waved, interrupting him, "I'm not only putting you in charge of the script, I'm putting you in charge of the Buffy the Vampire Hunter TV edition."

“I'm sorry, did I hear something wrong...” Wendeng asked unconsciously after a long time, his mouth twitched, pointlessly raised his hand and put it down, obviously shocked by the news to find no direction.

“You heard right, Joss, I want you to be the producer of this show.” Adrian went on and on in his spare time, "you know, we're making" Old Friends "on NBC, and we can't get more people to make new TV dramas, after all, we just got involved in making TV dramas. ”

When he heard the phrase "can't draw more people," Hudson looked up a little surprised to say something, but then he woke up and swallowed back what was in his mouth.

“But... but I...” Wenden said with some stutter, looking a little ridiculous.

“Don't worry, Joss, you should have relevant experience, right?” Adrian doesn't care, "he said," and we can get help from the side. This is your work. Of course you should make it, right? ”

Finally, the sentence worked, and Wenden finally calmed down and nodded after taking a deep breath: "I have no reason to refuse, and I have no reason not to give it all, Ed, thank you. ”

“Very good,” Adrian laughed, "and now I'm going to introduce you to someone. ”

He waved at Sarah, who had been sitting beside her since she walked in, and waited for her to come back to Wenden and say, "Is this Sarah? Michelle? Gayla, I think she's Buffy's best candidate for the TV show. ”

“Her?” Wenden gauged the girl with some dismay, while Sarah extended her hand very generously: "Hello, Mr. Joseph. ”

“You know what I thought about filming Buffy the Vampire Hunter on TV?” Adrian continued with a smile, "At the time, about two months ago, the company was preparing a new movie, and there was a character I thought Sarah would be a good fit, so I asked her to audition. But she didn't get the part in the end, and when I comforted her, I talked a few extraneous words and learned that she had been practicing taekwondo and had already got the blue belt. ”

“It's a red belt now.” Sarah added in a narrative.

“So soon?” Adrian picked the eyebrows with some surprise, "so you'll have the black belt in no time? ”

“Early on, it would take at least a year to practice the system alone, not to mention other limitations, such as age, manners, etc.” Sarah shrugged her shoulders.

“Well, let's not talk about it.” Adrian waved and continued to say to Wenden, "I was curious because very few girls practiced taekwondo and could get the belt color, so I went to her taekwondo hall to see it. The fact is quite surprising, I had no idea she could do this, especially when she jumped up and split, I don't know why, I suddenly thought of your movie. ”

“You mean... because Sarah practiced taekwondo, that's why I thought about making that movie into a TV show?” Winden asked some incredible questions.

“I know this sounds ridiculous, like a night out in heaven, but it does.” Adrian looked at him and said honestly, "I don't know what's going on, but naturally it popped up, and that's when I knew that Buffy was not Sarah Moore. And then, because of a series of things, I didn't contact you until now to get ready to start. ”

Wenden stopped talking, and after a half-hour he looked at Sarah and said, "Can I ask you a few questions, Sarah? ”

“Oh, sure, please.” Sarah smiled and pulled up her chest.

“Have you seen Buffy the Vampire Hunter? ”

“No, Ed showed me your original script, and he thought it would help me get to know the story better. ”

“Wow, that's amazing, so what do you think of Buffy? ”

The two talked, and Adrian sat beside them silently and completely uninterrupted. He knew Winden would not refuse, because he had made himself clear. Even if Winden really refuses because of this, it's not a big deal. Although Buffy the Vampire Hunter can be a classic, and Joss Winden, who is good at describing stories related to mutants or aliens, can't be replaced here.

Since Adrian is able to produce Old Friends with different producers, he can naturally produce Buffy the Vampire Hunter as well. Of course, Winden wouldn't be that stupid, and in the face of such a great deal of conditions, if he did refuse, it would definitely be his head.

A few minutes later, Winden ended his conversation with Sarah and turned to Adrian: "I'm basically done, Ed. Of course, it would have been better if Sarah had seen her fist and toe. ”

“No problem, you'll see it when you start choosing characters for your TV show.” Adrian laughed.

The preparations for "Buffy the Vampire Hunter" were settled, with Hudson and Winden negotiating the details, and Adrian left the TV department and went back to his office. Oh, so was Sarah.

“Do you think it would be appropriate for me to star in a TV show about vampires?” The girl asked somewhat puzzlingly that she was sitting at Adrian's desk at the moment, her legs swinging around was very playful and cute. However, she was wearing a denim skirt that had just reached her knees, and her legs were swinging slightly louder so that she could peek into the unobstructed * * * *.

“Unlike previous vampire movies or dramas, dear,” Adrian took off his coat and hung it on the hanger, "this drama should be categorized as a youth idol vampire drama on campus, combining action, comedy and drama, with the life of a regular high school student and another life as the son of choice. ”

As he walked up to Sarah, he held his hands against her forehead on the dojo table: "Remember what I told you? I'm going to make you the finest idol star, and now it's just the first step. ”

Sarah can be one of the few quality idol stars in the United States in the late 1990s, and the role of Buffy the Vampire Hunter plays a significant role. Though the TV drama is not as popular as classic works such as Old Friends, and has a fixed audience of millions, it has been well received and has led to many peripheral products, comics, novels, games, etc., which are quite popular among teenagers.

Adrian chose it as the first TV show to be produced after the acquisition of TBS because of its modest investment and relatively stable viewing of the crowd. After all, TBS today cannot be compared to television networks such as NBC.

“Of course I remember.” Sarah whispered, her eyes rolling around wondering what she was thinking.

“That's right, so don't worry about playing the part, it's like sharpening the act," Adrian grinned and squeezed her chin, “Don't forget, I also prepared a youth idol horror film for you in the second half of the year. ”

It's not easy for all TV stars, especially when they're red, to transform. Anniston is a success, and it's harder to add the name of a youth idol. But now that Adrian is ready for Sarah, she naturally has a countermeasure, and will never let her "repeat the old path”, she is now her own woman.

“Okay, got it.” Sarah said, pushing hard over Adrian's forehead, not only did she not lift him up, but she leaned back slightly a few degrees, and her hands held onto the desk independently, and her legs clamped Adrian's waist and legs clamped together, suddenly running into each other.

“Hey, wasn't it enough before?” Adrian said in half a joke and half a tone.

Sarah's face was slightly reddish and she stared at Adrian strangely and stopped talking. The space in the compartment, though small, is not as intense and exciting as it is in the bedroom, both very entertaining, but not easy to handle after the end, so I arrived in the TV department a long time late.

“By the way, you seem to have forgotten this.” Adrian said, pulling something as white out of his pocket, smiled and swayed in front of Sarah, "Let's put it on, the emptiness must be uncomfortable. ”

“No, I'm not. I've been in your pocket for so long.” Sarah gave him a bite and his face became more red.

That's when the knocking sounded and Sarah shrunk her neck and shoved her tears down her head, pressing to jump off the table, but Adrian grabbed her arm and shouted at the door: "Come in. ”

“Ed, they've...” Charlize in the ol' uniform showed up in front of the two of them and couldn't help but look at the girl sitting on the table and Adrian leaning forward on the table, noticing Adrian's white leggings lifting her eyebrows, but after two seconds, calm was restored, saying in an office tone: "They've been waiting for you, Ed, you've got ten minutes at most. ”

Without waiting for Adrian's defense, he turned around and walked out, only to close the door a little harder and make a loud bang, making two people in the room look different.

“Well, I have some business to attend to, so...” Adrian looks at Sarah with some apologies, "and... I'm sorry, I may not be able to be with you today. ”

“It's okay, I'll go back myself.” Sarah said that Ra Adrian's clothes were understandable.

“What about this?” Adrian swayed his white leggings again.

“Keep it for yourself.” Sarah jumped off the desk, "I went out and bought one at a supermarket. ”

“But... I think that if I do this, I have a perverted collection habit.” Adrian Shah said something about it, but in exchange Sarah's white eyes and ghost face did.

After a little tidying up, Sarah was ready to leave, walking to the door and turning back.

“Ed,” she looked at him, "you and Charlie... aren't you too...”

Although she did not go on, Adrian understood what she meant and nodded immediately.

“I knew it.” The girl shrugged her shoulders and let go of the big stone in her heart.

“Know what?” Even Adrian couldn't help but ask.

“Nothing,” Sarah shook her head with a smile, "Just...”

The bright eyes stared at him for a few seconds, then the girl held him forward, closing her eyes and leaning her head against his chest for a long time. Adrian hugged her and patted her back gently. “Charlie's situation is a little different...”

“It's okay," Sarah interrupted, raising her head and smiling, "as long as I can hold you against your chest. One day, if you get tired, I'll leave automatically. ”

The girl kissed him in the mouth and turned around and walked out. Standing in place for a few minutes, Adrian rubbed his lips, shook his head with a smile and walked out of his office.

As she walked down the hallway to the conference room, she just pushed in and heard a slightly shady voice telling a joke: “An English gentleman was riding in the same compartment as a French woman on a train, and the woman wanted to be shady * The gentleman complained that she was cold when she lay down undressed. The gentleman gave her his quilt, but she kept saying it was cold. ‘How else can I help you?’ The gentleman asked with dismay. ‘My mother used to warm me up with her own body when I was little.'. ‘Miss, there's nothing I can do about it. I can't jump off the train to find your mom, can I? ’ ”

His oral skills were quite good, imitating the lightness of women and the helplessness of gentlemen, which naturally attracted the laughter of several others. Adrian already knows who's making jokes, though he hasn't seen anyone yet.

“Nice joke.” He walked up to the long table in the conference room and laughed.

“Hey, Ed.” The first thing to jump is Dennis, then Morgan? Freeman, Tom, one of the heads of production? Fischer and his assistant, the other two most important, appeared somewhat restrained.

“Hello, Kevin. Hello, David.” After greeting Dennis and them, Adrian grabbed their hands with enthusiasm, "it was nice to meet you. ”

“Me too, Mr. Adrian. ”

“Nice to meet you too, sir. ”

The two replied as they shook hands.

“Just call me Ed. Don't be so constrained. I don't think you're like that, am I?” Adrian laughed and said that a relaxed posture made them all relaxed.

“Of course, Ed.” The forehead on the left was more pronounced, and the elongated, almost 35-6-year-old man nodded his head, reverting to his previous state of joking. And the man on the right, wearing a baseball cap and a casual outfit, with a beard that looked two or three years younger than him, nodded his head, giving a sense of silence.

Adrian smiled and exchanged his eyes with Dennis, Freeman and others and asked: "So, gentlemen, what do you think of the play Seven Sins? ”

Okay, now you don't have to guess. The 35-six-year-old guy, he's got a bit of a soft voice, except for Kevin? Spacey has no one else. And a man with a baseball cap and a beard, naturally David? Finch.
