King of Hollywood

Chapter 240: The Grand Prize?

“Are you all right?” One hand appeared above him in a trance, Adrian blinked his eyes and finally returned to God, grabbing the hand and standing up with force.

“Thank you." He patted the dust on his body and said to the person who pulled him, a middle-aged man in his forties, slightly fat, dressed casually and casually, typically Canadian. []

“Need a doctor? You seem to have fallen very hard.” They seem enthusiastic.

“No, no, it was just sudden… it hit me and didn't actually hurt me much.” Adrian got dressed, and it's lucky it's not raining now, otherwise it's going to be a lot worse now.

“Who are those people? I was suddenly knocked over and didn't see it clearly.” He immediately asked again.

“A group of young people with excess energy, nothing to do all day, knew to play skateboarding in the town,” the middle-aged man's breath suddenly became angry, obviously not satisfied with the situation for a long time, “the police couldn't care less about them, every time they made the chicken fly dog jump, this time they hit people and ran away without doing anything, what a disgrace”

Skateboarding? When he heard the word, Adrian picked his eyebrows and laughed, "It's okay, I'm not hurt anyway, thank you. ”

“You're welcome, Napani's security is still good, and the young people are just overworked, hoping you'll have a good time. Also, if you need to go to Winnipeg Hospital, right at the end of Kingston Avenue, probably not the best hospital in town, but definitely the most efficient.” The middle-aged man is still enthusiastic, and he still has some vision.

“Okay, I will.” Adrian nodded and waited for the other person to go far before moving and sighing and walking towards his car.

Less than two steps he stopped again, right on the street, where a skateboard was lying obliquely and quietly. To recap, Adrian picked it up quickly, black all over, decorated with some or green or blue pattern, quite shocking, of good quality, and should be pricey. Looking back at the body he hit before, he flipped over and checked it out, and he laughed, right at the bottom of the skateboard, next to the front wheel, with the owner's name on it.

“Well, I came all the way here to see you, and you gave me such a gift. Don't be surprised.” Adrian laughed.

“Too bad today, those idiots, how can I play with them?" The girl walks and complains to her friends, the mumps are drummed high, seems very unhappy, and occasionally shows a teeth-cutting look. “If I know who proposed to slip away, I must punch him hard."

She was wearing a black sleeveless vest with two white arms, wrist protection, brown medium and short hair, underneath was a fat trousers, the legs rolled up, the ankles exposed outside, plus a pair of black and white sneakers, giving the youth a glance of vitality, while at the same time giving a different appeal.

“Why? 'Cause you snuck away too?” Her friend, another girl, giggled.

The girl's face suddenly got a little ugly, and at the same time she was frustrated: “Damn, I didn't think about it so much at the time, I've played on that street countless times, but I've never hit anyone... I'm scared, I haven't had an idea for a while... luckily the person who ran back to peek said that the person who got hit was fine... or the trouble would be huge...”

Speaking of which, she got even more depressed. She had a sad face, and the corner of her mouth was almost on the floor: "Oh, my skateboard was left there, too. It was said to have been taken away by the man. Damn, that's what I bought for 50 bucks. I saved up almost six months. That's terrible. That's terrible.”

Seeing signs of frenzy in her eyes, her friend hurriedly stopped and grabbed her shoulder and shook vigorously: "Okay, it's just a skateboard. If you're unhappy, you can probably go to someone to apologize and come back. ”

Turning her eyes, the girl sighed and suddenly realized something was shaking her friend's arm: “Hey, Alice, did you notice that the man over there seemed to be watching us for a long time? ”

“Did you?” Her friend turned around and looked. Indeed, just ahead, a Mercedes-Benz parked on the street, standing in front of a car between twenty and thirty men, measuring them with interest.

The young girl Alice couldn't help but wake up and think and comfort herself: "It's okay, we're home now, go home. ”

The woman nodded and the two accelerated their steps forward.

As she passed through the man, she still couldn't help but get a little nervous. I don't know why, I always thought the guy looked familiar. That's why, as she passed by, she had to look up at each other again, the man's smile was stronger, his eyes seemed to fall on her, it was fun, and there were some... no good intentions? This caused the girl to develop a goosebump, and her steps quickly got bigger.

And that's when they said, "Is that how you're going to go, Aveline? I thought you'd apologize to me. ”

The young girl turned around in shock to gaze at each other with uncertainty: "You... who are you? Why... do you know my name? ”

The other party laughed and didn't talk, just turned around and took one thing out of the open window, long striped, all-over black, with green and blue patterns, up front and back, with four wheels underneath. The girl was a little confused at first, but when she saw the thing, she immediately showed her frightened face. Finally, she screamed and ran all the way to her door. She opened the door and hid in, even ignoring her friends.

How... how... the girl leaned against the door and gasped. Well, he seems to have written his name under the skateboard, but... but how does he know he lives here?

“Is something wrong, Ivy?” Mother scouted from the inner room and asked, making a loud noise just now when she closed the door.

“No... nothing, Mom, nothing, I'm just in a hurry.” Irvell said quickly.

“Liar sister must have done something bad again, otherwise you wouldn't be so panicked.” My sister jumped down the stairs and gave my sister a big ghost face.

“Shut up, Michelle." Ivier waved her fist immediately, her hands still not down, and a knock rang behind her. The teenage girl suddenly jumped again and her face became hard to see again.

“Who's knocking?” Mommy poked her head out again.

“Well... this... that...” I couldn't speak to Ivier at the door.

“It must have been my sister who came after the trouble.” Sitting on the stairs, Michelle smiled and looked at her like a disaster.

Elvir didn't have time to compare these to her sister, she was thinking about what to do now. If Mom and Dad knew she was going to play skateboarding and hit people, they wouldn't be touching skateboards for the whole summer, let alone playing with Pike. At this point, the knocking suddenly stopped, and the young girl was relieved for a moment. Perhaps the other party saw what happened if she didn't open the door. Although it was unlikely, she could not help but think about it.

But this thought only rose. The sound of the key opening came from behind the door. The girl's face suddenly became much whiter. She remembered that when she came out in the afternoon, her father and brother went out too, wouldn't they...

She jumped open and looked at the door in shock, clicking, and the door was opened, and her father's laughter came in: "Come in, Mr. Cowell. ”

“Thank you, Mr. Lavini, just call me Adrian.” The man walked in with her father before, and the skateboard was in his hand, and he looked around and quickly noticed that there was a little nervous Avelle standing next to him, and then another unhappy smile - at least in the eyes of a teenager.

“Judy, is this Adrian from America? Mr. Corwell, Adrian, this is my wife, Judy. Judy? Lavini.” The father started introducing his mother, presumably because his brother followed them and had already introduced them, so he jumped straight to Evel.

“This is my second daughter, and she's really naughty sometimes, and strange thoughts come up in her head,” John? Lavini looked at her daughter and said, "Honestly, Ivy, what were you trying to do? ”

Elvir, who was so nervous, couldn't help but stare at her father and wonder what he was talking about.

“I think she might want to scare me,” Adrian plugged in, "she was a cute, cheerful, and weird kid. ”

“Oh, don't be fooled by her appearance, Adrian, you know she loves skateboarding so much that she never leaves her side when she goes out with it. Since she's lost this, she's obviously prepared a big prank.” Fathers leave their daughters in merciless numbers.

“Dad, how can you talk like that," the protest of Averill's reflex of conditions called, realizing what looked like to Adrian.

She smiled, handed the skateboard to her, and blinked narrowly. Completely understood that Ivier's heart was ecstatic, and when she was about to lose her skateboard in her arms, if not at home, she might have jumped up and cheered. But she didn't forget to give Adrian a thankful look, and the other smile changed from "unkindness” to “kindness and goodness”.

After John Lavini introduced his little girl, he greeted Adrian and sat down. After a catastrophe was dissolved in the invisible, Ivier, who could have left, stayed. She was both curious and fortunate, wondering why the man Adrian had come to her house. Fortunately, he seemed to know his father, and if he changed hands, he would not hide it for her even if he did not ask for guilt.

Interestingly, neither brother Matthew nor sister Michelle had left, especially Michelle, who seemed to be sorry that she had not done anything extraordinary and had spoken with a smile on her lips from time to time. Ivel ignored her. Although she knew that her sister was not malicious, she was just a little naughty, but she did the same extraordinary thing and had to be reprimanded by her parents, but her sister did it much less. Even though she knows her sister is still young, she will inevitably feel depressed, not to mention...

“So, what brings you here, Adrian?” On the couch, after a few chills, John began to get to the point.

“Well... how do I put this?” Adrian punched his finger in the head, "It's not easy to get the clue straight, let's start with the simplest part. ”

He paused and organized the following phrase before opening up: “Although I live in Los Angeles, I often travel to Canada, and Napa has been here a few times, and the scenery is beautiful. I remember coming back here about a year ago, walking past the Brand Fair, hearing a girl sing, and I'm not sure it was Garth? Brooks'" tge "or the Southern chick's" youwe "?

, although a little naive, is very infectious. And then a few months ago, it was April, and I came back here to talk about it, and I heard the same song in the market, and this time I remember very clearly, Shania? Don's "gldonme," though still a little juvenile, has made a lot more progress than a year ago. ”

Ivel, who was checking the skateboard, stopped at this point and looked up to surprise at the man sitting on the couch, not only at her, but at her mother, brother and sister. And his father, sitting opposite him, raised his eyebrows slightly, seemed to want to say something, but did not make a sound.

Adrian smiled slightly: “I have a record company, and you know, singers and actors need potential, which is why so many star scouts are looking for talent around the world. I'm not a star scout, and I don't know much about specific music production, but I have some perspective on this. So when I came back to Canada a few days ago on vacation, I suddenly realized that if I could find this girl and train her, maybe I'd be a great singer, and I didn't know, so I came to Napani today, and it was a small town, and it was very simple to ask who was singing in the market, not to mention your daughter's fame. ”

He opened his hand and looked at Ivy sitting in the corner with a skateboard in her arms, while the girl opened her eyes and could not speak.

“Wow," Michelle screamed first, her mouth wide open, some incredibly moving on and off Adrian and her sister, "That's incredible. Did she sing that well? ”

“Yeah, yeah, those people in the market they never called good.” Ivier instinctively turned her eyes against her sister.

“That's because they don't live in our house,” Michelle dressed up as a ghost, "and every time you go to sleep, you stop because you want me or my brother to knock on the wall. ”

Matthew immediately coughed twice and shifted his gaze to one side, not wanting to be caught in a “war” between the two sisters.

“Okay, kids, be quiet.” John says hello, then looks at Adrian with a little hesitation, "you mean, trying to sign Aveline, right, Adrian? ”

“Yes, John, you've also been a country singer, and you should know how important systemic development is to a singer, and the sooner the better.” Adrian shrugged, "my run record has always been unique in nurturing young singers, and if you and Ivel agree, I can arrange for a professional to systematically test and evaluate your daughter as soon as possible. ”

“Run a record?” John stays calm.

“Yes, it was initially called mu record, and after acquiring several small record companies to merge, it changed its current name, so it's not very well known.” Adrian smiled.

John shrugged unanswered and turned to his daughter. Elvir, who had squeezed her fist, immediately revealed her prayerful eyes, biting her lips and trying to control her emotions, otherwise her body would have trembled with excitement. Ever since she started singing and begged her parents to buy equipment, she has been dreaming about the day: being a great singer, making the world love herself, making the world listen to songs she sings.

Now that the opportunity had finally arrived, she could hardly think of a reason to reject it. Obviously, because the man had previously given her back care, she had directly ignored the possibility of a liar.

“Wait, you mean run records?” Matthew suddenly opened his mouth, with an exciting divine colour, and seemed to think of something.

“Yes, of course.” Adrian nodded definitely.

“The one who launched Britney at the beginning of the year? Spears' run record?” Matthew asked.

“Yes." Adrian continued to nod his head, bluntly, seemingly reverberating with the company's launch of a singer who was liked by countless teenagers.

“Wow." Matthew jumped right up and screamed, "It's a run record. It's incredible. It's incredible.”

He jumped and screamed excitedly, seemingly careless that his parents and two sisters were right next to him, grabbing Adrian with one hand: "Can I get a Britney signature? Can I see her? ”

Anyway, he was under 20, and Britney was attracted to teenagers of this age, but surprisingly, Michelle had joined in, and she seemed to love Britney's songs. Aveline looked at Adrian with some complexity, her fists squeezed tight, a little confused, you know, and when her brother and sister waved Britney's CD and told her that this was a nice song, she always lifted her chin: "I'll be over her in the future.”

“Okay, quiet down, boys. Can we talk about this later?” After a moment of reflection, John finally opened his mouth and looked at Adrian again after Matthew and Michelle had shut their mouths: “I wonder, are you the Adrian with the miracle director's name? Corwell? ”

Another shock rang...
