King of Hollywood

Chapter 201: Sell a good price!

The golden yellow juice cap exudes this intense aroma on rice, chopped into cubes of chicken mixed together with a few broccoli and vegetables such as carrot dings, which go perfectly together with a bowl of fresh soup, though not so rich, which is quite delicious. Thus, despite Naomi's efforts to control her emotions, she inevitably lost her temper when dining. [Search latest updates all over]

No wonder, for someone who has been stranded for almost a month and continues to be strained, and who can only fill her stomach with some junk food every day, these meals are enough to make her happy. Besides, Chinese food does not have the same status as French and Italian food, but it has a good reputation, and chefs take the tastes of Westerners very well into account when they make it.

“I'm sorry, I'm a little...” Naomi realized that her eyes were still on herself after filling her stomach slightly to make her stomach feel better, and she said with some embarrassment.

“It's okay, the restaurant is small, but clean and tidy, and the food is well made, and I don't have much time, but I eat quite happily every time.” The other person still had a gentle smile that made her feel warm and reliable, and the chopsticks in his hand gave a powerful note of his words.

“I haven't always been very good at this...” Naomi pointed at those two little sticks, and then she thought of something reddish, and the voice started to stutter, “Yes... yes, I still... I don't know your name...”

The constant events that took place this evening only in films and novels shocked her too much. From the moment a man called her name to appear in front of her, she could no longer keep up with her way of thinking. She could only faintly follow each other's actions, so much so that she still did not know what the name of the man was that restored her dignity and gave her a hint of comfort in the most desperate times.

“Adrian, Adrian? Corwell, call me Adrian or Ed.” The other party laughed.

“I really don't know... how to thank you, Ed... I will... by the way, how do you know my name?” Naomi dropped the subject after a few stuttering sentences.

“I looked over when I found your wallet, and, of course, more importantly, I remember what you looked like when you auditioned for The Killing Moment.” Adrian understated.

“Try… audition?” Naomi opened her eyes and shouted. The spoon in her hand fell into the plate. "You... are you the... miracle director? ”

Drop the chopsticks and look over your head, they nodded for sure: "I suppose so, in Hollywood, nobody else seems to have this title but me. ”

This little humor didn't make Naomi laugh. She lowered her head to pick up the spoon and flipped a few times in the food in panic, then pulled out the tissue and rubbed it twice. Her hands and feet were messy and she didn't know what to do with the hobby.

“I... I really didn't expect everything to happen to you... I really liked your movies... like Agan Zhengzheng... me too...” Naomi said incessantly, even changing the name “you”, slightly reddish eyes, excited but with a bit of inferiority and embarrassment. But she eventually took control of her emotions and took the courage to look him in the eye: “Can you… tell me why you helped me? ”

Her gaze was more persistent and resistant than before, but she smiled silently, and that reassuring expression never seemed to change.

'Cause I'm a dude, right? ”He asked, but there was no interrogation or ridicule in his tone, plain and bland, like talking to a friend.

“No... you're not...” Naomi's face suddenly turned red again, which was indeed her idea, although she had never seen a miracle director, and she knew a lot about him, and that many women in Hollywood wanted to sleep with him. However, a man with a gentle smile, a sense of reliance and security cannot be associated with a dude who likes to chase women.

“I am,” Adrian nodded unexpectedly, “literally speaking, I am a dude, but I don't think there's anything wrong with that. ”

He shrugged his shoulders and his bright eyes did not see a hint of hypocrisy: “The pursuit of good things is human nature, and for me it is very pleasant to go, talk, play with beautiful women of very different personalities * * and I will not ignore their feelings, nor defy their wishes, nor deceive them. They're all good women, just like you. ”

Naomi couldn't help but bow her head and her heart beat a lot faster. Despite the feeling of a little * * at the end of the sentence, she had no aversion.

“As for why I helped you, it was a coincidence that I met you at the mall as a factor, but it prompted me to follow you back because I thought you had potential.” Adrian said again.

“I... have potential?” She looked up hard, incredibly at Adrian, and to this day no one knows what “you have the potential” means in the miracle director's mouth.

“Yes.” Adrian nodded seriously, "I told you I saw your audition, but not on the scene, but on the tape, and I would flip the audition tapes from every other company every once in a while to see if there was anyone worth watching. Although I've never forgotten, not everyone cares, and I remember your name on the audition tape for The Killing Moment. ”

Speaking of which, after Naomi digested some of these words, he went on to say, "When I found your wallet, I was curious, you should be a good actor, and you wouldn't be so upset at all, so I followed you and wanted to know what happened. And then, seeing what happened in front of the apartment you rented, it reminded me of Dennis? Nate's situation, although I can't help everyone, should be fine because... you're a potential actor and all you're missing is an opportunity. ”

Listening to these words, Naomi's eyes were completely red and her lips trembled, and she desperately tried to control them, but the tears eventually rolled out of her eyes. She lowered her head, covered her face with her hands, and cried low, and the whimpering suddenly attracted many eyes to the restaurant.

Adrian stopped talking, ignoring the beauty of the surrounding area and pulled out the tissue and handed it to her. Choking Naomi took over and wiped her face constantly. It took a while to control her emotions.

“I'm sorry, I just can't... think of the past...” she whimpered, almost crying again.

“It would be much better to cry out," Adrian held her hand, "it's okay, I can understand, it's really not an easy place to live, too many people have ruined their dreams here. I know you must have suffered too much, like tonight, but please believe that everything will be all right. ”

“Thank you, thank you, Ed.” Red eyed Naomi grabbed his hand tightly.

“Well, let's eat first," Adrian tapped it lightly in her hand, "and then we wandered around, and you wouldn't refuse this little date, would you? ”

Time was always quick, and a silver white Maybach stopped outside Naomi's apartment when the clock and minute hands on the meter pointed to 11: 00 and 30: 00, respectively.

“Thanks, Ed.” Naomi, who got out of the car, said to Adrian, who sent herself back, with a smile on her mouth, the whole person was so different than when she left, her good face looked even more moving under the street lights, and the evening date obviously made her feel better.

“I'll send you here.” Adrian smiled and pointed to the front door of the apartment.

“Won't you... go up and sit down?” Naomi suddenly said so, and her eyes became different.

“No,” Adrian looks the same, "you better get some rest and get up tomorrow and everything will be different. ”

He glanced up, and the window on the second floor was bright, and then he blinked in front of her: "If you don't mind, do the whole set. ”

Naomi realizes something, but instead of avoiding it, she closes her eyes and leaves a kiss in the corner of her mouth.

“Well, good night, good dreams.” Adrian spoke softly, then sat in the car, waved at her and started to leave.

Naomi stood there, watching the car disappear at the street entrance, the smile in the corner of her mouth closed, then deeply sighed and opened the door into the apartment.

“Naomi, are you back?” Just walked up the stairs and a sound of intimacy was heard.

“Hello, Mrs. Lawrence.” Naomi nodded, and the landlady of Mexican descent stood at her door and looked at her with a smile on her face, as if her aunt was watching her niece return.

“You must have had a very nice evening. I thought you were coming back later.” She greeted her warmly and then quickly opened the door before she did, "I've put all your things in place, everything was arranged according to your usual habits, and I cleaned the house once. I've washed the sheets and other supplies and changed the bed for you. ”

And then she took the keys off, and she handed them to Naomi: "And of course, the chain changed. ”

Despite the other party's laughter, she can still see the instant embarrassment, needless to say, in order to get her out today, the other party changed the lock early, just didn't expect to end up cocooning herself.

“Thank you." Naomi didn't say much, took the key and pushed it into the house, and the landlady followed her closely, seeming to have something else to say but embarrassed to exit.

“It's okay, Mrs. Lawrence, I'll say to Ed, I'm satisfied, you don't have to worry so much.” Know what she's thinking, Naomi said immediately.

“That's good, that's good, I won't bother you.” The landlady left with a smile.

Close the door, turn on the lights, Naomi swept around and, although there was only one room and one hall, it was cleaned clean, and even many of the places she would not normally be able to clean were spotless. And the landlady did say that the setting in the room was almost the same as it used to be, especially since the sculpture that was broken into pieces was still in place, but it was just sticky, so no wonder she just lost her smile.

The amount of the second check must be very large. This thought drilled out again, Naomi's mouth twitched gently into a bitter smile, went back to the bedroom and sat on one of her buttocks, leaned on the bed and stared forward, then curled her legs up and held her in her chest.

Today's scene of great sadness and joy reappeared from her mind, so sad and desperate when she faced the brutality of the landlady, even the thought of suicide at that moment; and when Adrian blocked in front of her silently to restore her broken self-esteem a little bit, she was so confused but so happy; then she was so grateful to hear his comfort and encouragement in the restaurant; and she was so happy when he took him to the street and asked her to let go and enjoy the moment. Especially on Hollywood Avenue, when Adrian spent a few dollars on street performers performing a funny show for her, she laughed more often than the last few months combined, as if Sentierrella had met her own Prince Charming.

However, as 12 o'clock approached, everything was back the way it was, and Cinderella still had a few beans wrapped around the stove, unless she left her crystal shoes behind.

An unnamed palpitation grabbed Naomi's heart, and after years of experiencing all sorts of tidal surges, she had never identified herself, insisted on her insistence on touching the bloodshed everywhere. When she finally decided to be an actor and go to Hollywood, she had no idea that one day she would fall to this point. Had it not been for the unexpected appearance of this man, she might have gone as Mrs Lawrence said... for a moment, she would not have been left to grieve.

No one has ever cared for her this way, no one has ever given her a moment of tranquillity and happiness, even so briefly.

He lowered his head, buried between his legs, whimpered low and loud, and then became louder and louder, and his shoulders shrugged sharply, eventually becoming a howling cry, tears like the river of the shooting embankment gushed from his eyes, seemed to have to cry enough tears accumulated over the years at a time. The sound was incredibly sad, as if it had never been so sad, that no one could help but cry when they heard it.

After crying so painfully for so long, Naomi paused in choking, and it took so long before she looked up, her face was full of tears and her knees and thighs were wet.

Sucking her nose, she jumped out of bed as if she had made a decision and walked into the bathroom. Wipe away the tears from your face with a damp towel, then come to the mirror of the sink, clean your lower hair against the person inside, clean your lower face slightly, then put your hands and waist in a forward position.

Then, she simply took off all the clothes on her body, as if she were out, leaving only a bra and leggings behind to pose against the mirror. Despite some malnutrition due to the strain during this period, the face is still so good, the body is also quite even, strong * *, flat belly, thin waist limbs, rounded buttocks, although the area below the root of the thigh is invisible, Naomi believes that her legs are still long enough, and in difficult times, walking is also an exercise, so there is still money.

The shadow of a man flashed in her head, and she looked in the mirror and took a deep breath and made her final decision.

“Then sell me a good price."

Adrian attended only the first meeting and did not ask again after explaining his request. Well, it can't be said that without asking, Charlize would give it to him every day for review or review, but the rest of the meeting never showed up again, anyway, there are professionals to take charge of it, why should he insert a foot in it, if he needs to come out, it will come out naturally.

Best movies, best directors, best matches, best songs, the odds are the best, the others are arranged by them, as for the best actress... Adrian can't help but sigh when he thinks of Gwyneth's leap. Her parents are still somewhat involved in the circle, and with Spielberg, the godfather, it may well be possible, if Adrian Ken strongly supports it.

For this reason, Gwyneth wrapped him up in the dark and in bed, making Blanchett even more unhappy with some of the flavors she already had. But the problem is that Adrian didn't want her to get the best actress so early. Although her first performance on the big boat was good enough, she added a lot of points to the jury. Especially now she has accumulated 2 billion boxes, but she also put a lot of pressure on them, so it's easy to arouse rebellion, so it's both advantages and disadvantages. It's not that easy to get the best actress while maintaining the best film and the best director. Second, her qualifications are somewhat poor, let alone with Adrian's intervention, she hasn't made so many films in the past few years.

However, if you really want to fully support her, it is not difficult to use some means, but once you use it, it will take a long time to use it again, and Adrian has other things that I fear, let alone...

Forget it, let it be, there's still a chance for the year. Adrian finally decided that, and he now has more important things to do, such as a screenwriter in the editorial department who says he doesn't understand his new script.

“I don't know exactly what you're trying to say, Mr. Adrian,” the other side said distressingly, "although there is a main line, your script is too messy to understand what you're saying. ”

“That's right,” Adrian Haha laughed, "I'm not going to do anything meaningless, although this script took me only three days, but that's what I want - it's incomprehensible”.
